A landmark defence pact between North Korea and Russia, signed by its leaders in June, has gone into effect after the two sides exchanged ratification documents, North Korea's official KCNA news agency said Thursday. The formalization of the treaty comes as the United States and South Korea have accused the nuclear-armed North of sending more than 10,000 soldiers to help Russia fight Ukraine. Experts say North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is keen to acquire advanced technology from Moscow and battle experience for his troops in return. Kim and Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the strategic partnership deal during the Kremlin chief's visit to Pyongyang. It obligates both states to provide military assistance "without delay" in the case of an attack on the other, and to jointly oppose Western sanctions. It came into effect from Wednesday, when the ratification documents were exchanged in Moscow by the countries' vice foreign ministers Kim Jong Gyu and Andrei Rudenko, KCNA reported. Lawmakers in Moscow last month voted unanimously for the deal and it was later signed by Putin. Pyongyang said it was ratified by a decree from Kim. The treaty will serve "as a strong driving force accelerating the establishment of an independent and just multi-polarized world order without domination, subjugation and hegemony," KCNA said. Analysts have suggested Pyongyang could be using Ukraine as a means of realigning its foreign policy. By sending soldiers, North Korea is positioning itself within the Russian war economy as a supplier of weapons, military support and labour — potentially even bypassing traditional ally, neighbour and main trading partner China, they say. North Korea and Russia have strengthened their military ties since Moscow's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Both countries are under rafts of UN sanctions -- the former for its nuclear weapons programme and the latter for the Ukraine conflict. Kim said last week during a visit to Pyongyang by Russian Defence Minister Andrei Belousov that his government, army and people would "invariably support the policy of the Russian Federation to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity". Putin hailed the deal in June as a "breakthrough document". bur-sst/bjtLakers' LeBron James away from team for 'personal reasons,' status for matchup vs. Timberwolves uncertain

Cities With the Most Business Owners Under 40Chargers QB Justin Herbert does not practice because of left ankle injuryCousins' return to Minnesota, his NFL home from 2018 through 2023, on Sunday comes as he is hearing speculation about his job security in Atlanta. Cousins has thrown six interceptions with no touchdowns in the Falcons' three-game losing streak. That includes four picks in last week's 17-13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, his most in a decade. “It’s kind of the challenge always in pro football to be able to get back up off the mat and get back going,” Cousins said after Wednesday's practice. A vote of confidence from coach Raheem Morris can't silence suggestions that it's time to give rookie first-round pick Michael Penix Jr. a chance to jump-start the Falcons' struggling offense. Morris said Sunday he didn't consider removing Cousins from the game, and he repeated his support for the veteran on Wednesday. “Got to go to Minnesota and get a big-time win and Kirk’s ready to go,” Morris said before acknowledging Cousins must bounce back from “obviously a tough game.” “You know, realistically, man he is built for this and he’s ready to go,” Morris said. The losing streak has left the Falcons (6-6) struggling to remain on top of the weak NFC South. They hold the tiebreaker advantage with Tampa Bay (6-6), but need Cousins to end his turnover streak. Cousins, 36, was expected to be the reliable leader on offense after he signed a four-year, $180 million contract. He will be in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. He said he expects a loud reception from Minnesota's fans. “They’re great fans, great football fans,” Cousins said. “As a result I think they’ll make it as hostile as they can for us.” Cousins ranks fifth in the league with 3,052 passing yards. He has 17 touchdown passes and his 13 interceptions are only one shy of his career high. Cousins insists he feels strong in his return from last season's torn Achilles tendon. He was critical of his mental mistakes in the loss to the Chargers. He said he rushed some passes, sometimes lacking the necessary velocity on his throws and giving defensive backs the opportunity to step in front of receivers for interceptions. Atlanta offensive coordinator Zac Robinson also said Cousins' lack of velocity on his throws “just goes back to, you know, decisiveness, being decisive when you do cut it loose. Certainly those things happen with quarterbacks. There might be times where, you know, you’re not as convicted on a throw. And it shows by the way the football comes out.” Morris said he still has confidence in Cousins' arm and the mental side to his game. “He’s done a great job with us, and I have no real qualms about him bouncing back and him being able to play the game the way it needs to be done,” Morris said. “He’s still an elite processor. He has the ability to make all the throws. He’s shown that throughout the year.” Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores also said he expects Cousins will shake out of his slump. “I know the narrative is he had a tough game last week, but he’s played some good football," Flores said. "I think the people in this building know what Kirk can do. He’s a very, very good quarterback.” Added Flores: “He’s a bounce-back type of guy, as we all know. I’m expecting his best, the best version of Kirk, the best version of that offense. It’s going to be a major challenge for us.” Atlanta's offensive production has dipped while the veteran quarterback’s turnovers have been on the rise. The Falcons were held to under 20 points in each of their three straight losses. “Have to just believe that tough times don’t last, tough people do,” Cousins said. “You have to keep pushing.” AP Pro Football Writer Dave Campbell contributed to this report.

Orca seen wearing a salmon hat for first time since 1980s. Why do they do it?

Wild Horse Reservoir is 99% ice covered with very unsafe ice and South Fork is about 50% ice covered with very unsafe ice. Already on social media, people are asking if it is safe to go on the ice at Wild Horse. One person even said if it was “sketchy” he might still go ice fishing. Not a good idea. Doucette The most dangerous time to be on the ice is at the beginning and the end of the ice fishing season when the ice conditions can change in a heartbeat. What is 4 inches thick one day may be 2 inches or even open water the next, depending on winds, water currents, springs, or temperature. When talking ice thickness and safety, we are talking about hard clear ice, not packed snow, not slush and not gray ice with air bubbles in it. If the ice is 2 inches thick or less, stay off. At 4 inches, a person can walk on the ice and it should be safe for fishing as long as anglers are spaced far apart. While the Nevada Department of Wildlife doesn’t recommend taking a vehicle on the ice, it is generally accepted that seven inches of clear hard ice will support a snowmobile or ATV. No matter what, use common sense and always err on the side of caution. Ice claws should be worn by everyone on the ice. Ice claws can be purchased at a sporting goods store or made using two pieces of one and a half-inch diameter dowel (or pieces of a broom handle) about six inches long, with a large nail imbedded into one end. Join the two pieces of dowel using three to four feet of heavy cord or light rope that goes through the dowels at the opposite end from the nails. The rope joining the two claws together should go through both sleeves of the jacket and across the back, allowing them to be readily available if you go through the ice. Just like seat belts and personal flotation devices, ice claws don’t do you any good if they aren’t being worn when you fall through the ice. Put a piece of cork or candle on the end of the nails to keep from poking yourself. If you should fall through the ice, stay calm. Don’t take winter clothing off, as it will help keep warmth in and may add some buoyancy. When trying to get out, return in the direction from which you fell, the ice there is more likely to be thicker and able to support you better as you try to get out. Ice near open water is slippery and hard to get traction on, so kick your legs using a swim-type motion to help propel you onto the ice. Grip an ice claw in each hand, sticking the nail end into the ice and pull yourself to safety. Once on the ice remain in a prone position, spreading your weight over a larger area, until reaching ice that will definitely support you. If a companion should fall through the ice, don’t approach the edge to try to help them; your role may quickly change from rescuer to victim. Never try to rescue them alone, unless absolutely necessary, go get help. Use a rope, stick, fishing rod, or some other long item to try to reach them from safe ice. As stated earlier, stay in a prone position, spreading your weight over a larger area while trying to help someone who has fallen through. Once safety is reached, treat for hypothermia. There are other safety items that may be taken along. A rope for throwing to someone who has fallen through the ice is a good idea. Put a loop and a large knot at one end because cold hands don’t grip very well. A type IV personal floatation device can be thrown to someone in the water. It can also be used to sit or kneel on until needed for an emergency. While everyone worries about falling through the ice, it is much more common to slip and fall on the ice, causing serious injuries including broken bones and concussions. Crampons are spikes that can be attached like an overshoe to the outside of your boots to help you keep your footing. These can be found at many sporting goods or outdoor clothing stores. Finally, staying warm is very important, as hypothermia is a real threat when combining cold temperatures with getting wet when handling fish or cleaning out the fishing hole. Dress in layers and avoid cotton clothing. Wool retains its insulating ability when wet and is a good choice. There are also synthetics that wick water away from the body if you are allergic to wool. Now would be a good time to prep your ice fishing and wait for the ice to truly be thick enough to safely walk on before venturing out ice fishing. As a general rule, Wild Horse isn’t safe for ice fishing until after New Year’s and South Fork even later. Some years, South Fork may never be safe for ice fishing, depending upon weather conditions. The lake is almost completely covered in very unsafe ice. On Monday it was about 1 to 1.5 inches thick with some open water around a number of pressure ridges that are already starting to form due to very warm daytime highs and cold nights. Daytime highs are forecast in the mid 40s until Sunday, so there won’t be much in the way of ice growth. As a general rule, the ice isn’t thick enough for ice fishing until around New Years. As of Monday, the lake was 40% to 50% ice covered with very unsafe ice. There was some open water south of the main boat ramp cove and Jet Ski Beach was wide open for fishing. Shore fishing for trout was very good early this week for fly rodders and fair to good for bait anglers. Fly fishers were using both balanced leeches and chironomids. Balanced leeches in black/red, black/blue, wine or olive were working. Hot green or red bead heads on the balanced leeches seemed to produce more fish. Snow cones, chironocones, zebra midges in black or red, and Yankee buzzers were all catching fish. Wooly buggers sized 6 to 10 and leech patterns sized 10 to 14 in the black/red, black/blue, wine and dark red stripped on a sinking line should also work. Bait anglers were catching fish with a small piece of worm suspended about three feet below a bobber approximately 15 to 20 feet from shore. Some unsafe ice here with some open water as of this past Monday. There was no indication of anyone fishing it. The same techniques that work at South Fork work here. No recent report, but this lake is often similar to South Fork as far as ice conditions, so expect some unsafe ice but also some open water for fishing. The water level is good for this time of year and visibility is good. At last report fishing for trout was good and should still be good close to shore. The same techniques and presentations that work at South Fork work here. With recent and forecast precipitation, expect muddy road conditions on the way out. Approximately 9,800 trout were stocked in late October. There was some ice formation at the main boat ramp in the south lake as well as some ice in places on the collection ditch. Fishing in the collection ditch continues to be good for trout averaging 15 to 20 inches, with some fish over 20 inches. Water clarity is good and water levels continue to be very good though vegetation is still thick in many areas. Fishing for brown and tiger trout is still good in the collection ditch. Fly anglers have had luck stripping wooly buggers, leeches or small streamers in black or olive using short slow strips. Nymphs under an indicator are working best. Patterns to fish include eggs, chironomids, PT nymphs, gold ribbed hares ears and copper Johns. Spin fishermen should be using spinners, Kastmasters, panther Martins and other small lures fished slowly. It is artificial presentations only in the collection ditch, which includes the pond behind the hatchery all the way to Brown Dike. Wading is not allowed the entire length of the collection ditch. No recent report, but anglers should expect unsafe ice forming here. There may be some open water. At last report, fishing was fair to good for 13- to 16-inch trout. Either dark or flashy spinners or small plastic baits fished with varying retrieves should work. Worms or PowerBait fished under a bobber is best for bait anglers. For fly rodders, wooly buggers and leech patterns on a sink tip or intermediate sinking line have been working. The usual assortment of nymph and chironomid patterns are also producing a few fish. Expect unsafe ice here along with some open water for fishing. Fishing should be good for rainbow trout and tiger trout in the 9- to 12-inch range. Anglers fishing for trout should use spinners, nightcrawlers, and PowerBait. Fly fishers should use midge patterns, leeches or woolly buggers. Fish the buggers and leeches slowly. Cave Lake is lowered to minimum pool and unfishable. Cave Lake is closed to fishing due to shorelines that are very soft and dangerous due to the complete saturation of the soil. Comins is covered with varying thicknesses of ice, with the north lake being 40% open water. Anglers report 3 to 5 inches of ice and anglers may want to give it another week or two before venturing upon the ice. Even then, drill test holes as you head onto the ice. If anglers attempt to fish from shoreline, a mix of spinners, nightcrawlers, PowerBait, and a fly behind a bubble should catch fish. Comins received 10,043 rainbow trout this fall averaging 8.9 inches. During northern pike suppression efforts this fall, rainbow trout were observed in the 1.5- to 4-pound range. Please note that NDOW has placed radio tags in several northern pike. These pike will have an orange Floy tag near their dorsal fin and a small antenna (~ 7 inches long) coming from their stomach. Please return these fish to the water for research purposes. Please do not return pike without the tags back to the lake. Black bass fishing is poor. There is a limited bluegill fishery at Comins and anglers are encouraged to release bluegill so that their population can become better established. Illipah Reservoir is covered with 3 to 5 inches of ice with some water on top of the ice near the middle of the reservoir. Ice near standing water should be considered unsafe. Give this lake another week or two before trying to ice fish and drill test holes as you venture upon it. The road to Angel Lake was closed for the winter earlier this week. There will be no fishing reports until May, when the road re-opens. Ice has covered the high mountain lakes. Anglers can expect winter conditions in the high country and only experienced back country travelers should visit them. There will be no more reports on these waters until late spring or early summer depending upon snow conditions. With colder temperatures and fish being cold blooded, they are moving more slowly. So anglers need to slow presentations down and spend more time fishing sections of streams. The colder weather is also starting to lock up some of the moisture in ice, slowing stream flows a bit. With recent snowfall, expect 4WD conditions in Lamoille Canyon. The tail water below South Fork is still producing some trout but flows are very low, so fish are holding in the pools. Water conditions below Wild Horse Dam in the East Fork of the Owyhee River have dropped significantly and icy wading conditions and snow are keeping many anglers away. The flows on the Jarbidge and Bruneau rivers are still low, and haven’t changed much and fishing has been slow to fair. Access to the Bruneau and Jarbidge is probably through Idaho. As of Dec. 4, the East Fork of the Owyhee was flowing at 2.39 cfs below the dam and showing ice at Mountain City; the Jarbidge flowing at 5.05 cfs; the Bruneau was showing ice; Salmon Falls Creek was at 41.0 cfs; Lamoille Creek at 2.76 cfs; the South Fork of the Humboldt at 5.03 cfs; Cleve Creek at 7.05 cfs; and Steptoe Creek at 4.42 cfs.

Ngātiwai leader Aperahama Edwards is one of more than 500 Māori leaders from dozens of iwi who signed the letter to King Charles III . Speaking to RNZ, Edwards said Charles is a direct descendant of Queen Victoria - the reigning monarch at the time the treaty was signed - and had the mana to intervene. He said the government were representatives of the Crown, therefore, representatives of King Charles. "This is a conversation between the descendants of the Ariki who signed Te Tiriti o Waitangi and the head of the Crown." "Māori have always sought to strengthen that direct relationship, however, more often than not, the conversation starts and stops with the kāwanatanga, the government." Edwards said the experience of Māori interacting with government has been "futile", so their request has gone right to the top. "The obligation to honour the promise of Te Tiriti rests not only in the descendants of the chiefs who signed it, but in the descendants of Queen Victoria, namely King Charles." "We're seeking his intervention to ensure that the government does not diminish the Crown's honour." The letter was sent on behalf of the National Iwi Chairs Forum who represent more than 80 whānau, hapū, Iwi and Māori organisations. Edwards said Māori were unified in their condemnation of the government. "We've observed through the hīkoi and the unity that has come forth across the year, stemming from the call from Kiingi Tuheitia at the start of the year. The response from Te Ao Māori has been unified. We seek to have these addressed and that authority, as our Treaty partner, sits with King Charles." Edwards said there was a "heightening awareness" among New Zealanders that the Treaty was signed with the Crown and the government are representatives of it. "As a nation we've 180 years of the denial of our Tino Rangatiratanga which has led to the brazen acts that we see unfolding before us." "We're in 2024 [and] once again our unique place as mana whenua is being questioned and unilaterally redefined without any provision for input from ourselves, or from our treaty partner." He said the prupose of the letter was to "elevate" the conversation and bring attention to treaty issues in Aotearoa. "We believe [King Charles'] global environmental and social justice concerns and influence play a crucial role in reminding the government of the importance of upholding the sacred agreements within Te Tiriti o Waitangi. "This will be of benefit to all in Aotearoa"

Looking at the rising demand for EVs in the market, it is important to keep a few things in mind to better maintain the vehicle maintenance and also increase its longevity. In this article, let’s delve into some key tips and tricks to help people maximize their EV range in the long term. Timely charging: As we all know, the battery is the heart of an electric vehicle, so charging the battery on a regular basis is the primary tip for every vehicle owner. It's always advisable to avoid reaching the extreme, i.e., 0% or 100% charging, as it can impact the health of the battery. Owners can charge the graphene and lithium-ion batteries between 20% and 80% to extend the lifespan of the batteries. Balanced and timely charging plays a vital role in increasing the life and capacity of EV batteries. Use regenerative braking wisely: In EVs, there's a special feature called regenerative braking; it's a key feature that turns the kinetic energy into electrical energy when brakes are applied and amplifies the battery range at the same time. However, using regenerative braking wisely is important while driving; owners can use regenerative braking in the city or in heavy traffic. Unnecessary usage of regenerative braking can impact the battery life in the long run. Plan the routes wisely: While using the EVs, choosing routes with fewer slopes is always recommended, and avoid using crowded places. Moreover, for longer distances, people can schedule the charging stops in advance, which helps them become aware of the charging stations during their route and allows them to enjoy a smooth ride during their journey. Understanding the effect of temperature on battery life: Temperature plays a vital role in extending or reducing the battery life of an electric vehicle. People should take several preventive measures to save the vehicle's battery from the effects of temperature. Both extreme cold and hot weather conditions can shorten the EVs' range. To optimize the battery's life, it's advisable to park the vehicle in a garage or shady place. Moreover, to maintain the vehicle's interior temperature and save battery life while driving, owners need to precondition the vehicle while it's still plugged in. Maintain a steady speed of the vehicle: While driving the EVs, it's important to keep the speed of the vehicle constant. Maintaining a steady speed increases the vehicle's range by reducing the load on the battery, which automatically maximizes the battery life in the long run. A gentle driving habit expands the battery's life, conserves the environment, and avoids road mishaps or accidents. Usage of updated software: As we all know, technology has been upgrading at a rapid rate; even in EVs, technology is progressing significantly, and vehicle owners need to adapt to it on a regular basis. Updating software constantly helps guarantee that the vehicle runs with the newest enhancements and optimizations. The above-mentioned tips and tricks are important for EVs to maintain their lifespan. These are a few major precautions and measures owners should consider while driving EVs. These measures will increase the vehicle's longevity and take one more step towards a sustainable and greener environment.

Josh Allen and Jameis Winston delivered signature performances in prime time that define their styles of play. Allen used his athleticism, creativity and a statistical quirk to become the first quarterback ever credited with a passing, rushing and receiving touchdown in the same game in Buffalo’s win over San Francisco. Winston showed off his propensity for big plays — and big blunders — when he became the first player ever to throw for at least 400 yards, four touchdowns and two pick-6s in the same game in a loss for Cleveland at Denver. It was a weekend of firsts for the two quarterbacks. It started on Sunday night when Allen took advantage of a peculiar rule of NFL stat-keeping to do something no quarterback had ever done. He threw a short pass to Amari Cooper, who was immediately wrapped up by two defenders. Allen alertly ran toward Cooper and signaled for the ball and Cooper obliged with a pitch. Allen then sprinted and dove in for a 7-yard touchdown on a pass he threw. That’s where the odd scoring comes in, with Cooper getting credit for a catch for minus-2 yards and Allen getting credit for 9 yards receiving, a receiving touchdown but no actual reception and a 7-yard TD pass. Allen became the second player this season to get credit for a receiving touchdown but no catch in a game, with Detroit’s Jahmyr Gibbs doing it following a lateral against Arizona in Week 3. It has happened only one other time in the Super Bowl era, with Allen Rice doing it in 1984 for Minnesota against Denver. Only three other players in NFL history got credit for a receiving touchdown on a pass they threw. with Marcus Mariota the most recent in the 2017 wild-card game for Tennessee against Kansas City when he caught his own deflected pass. Brad Johnson also scored when he caught his own deflected pass for Minnesota against Carolina in 1997, and Frank Ryan scored on a lateral for the Rams against Detroit in 1960. There was one other play where a player scored a TD following his own pass, according to Sportradar, with Roy Zimmerman doing it for the Eagles against the Giants in 1944 following a lateral. But under rules before 1950, Zimmerman was credited solely with a lateral touchdown. Allen later ran for a touchdown, becoming the seventh player in the Super Bowl era and first quarterback ever to get a passing, rushing and receiving TD in the same game. Winston, who created his own 30-30 club when he threw 33 TDs and 30 interceptions in 2019, had the kind of performance that has defined his high-risk, high-reward career. He threw for 497 yards with four TDs, three interceptions and two pick-6s. Winston became the first player in NFL history to throw for at least 400 yards and four TDs with two pick-6s. The Broncos had 171 yards on interception returns with the 668 yards combined on Winston’s passes setting an NFL record, according to OptaStats, topping the 664 by Vinny Testaverde for the Jets against Baltimore in 2000. Streaking: Not that there was much doubt, but Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are headed back to the postseason for a 10th straight season — one shy of the longest streak ever, held by New England from 2009-19. The Chiefs are off to an 11-1 start in their bid to be the first team ever to win three straight Super Bowls. Kansas City can clinch a ninth straight AFC West title with a win over the Chargers on Sunday night. The Patriots are the only team with a longer streak, having won the division every year from 2009-19. Nine of the Chiefs’ 11 wins have come by seven points or fewer — one shy of the record set by the 1978 Houston Oilers. Kansas City’s plus-54 point differential is the worst of the 59 teams to start 11-1 or better. The Chiefs will be joined in the postseason again by the Buffalo Bills, who clinched their sixth straight playoff berth and fifth straight AFC East title. Their division-winning streak is tied for the seventh-longest streak ever, trailing only the Patriots and Chiefs, along with the Rams (1973-79), Pittsburgh (1974-79), Minnesota (1973-78) and Cleveland (1950-55). The Steelers have not clinched a playoff berth yet but are assured of not having a losing season for the record-tying 21st straight season. The only other team to do that was Dallas from 1965-85. Coach Mike Tomlin has been in charge for 18 of those seasons and has never finished with a losing record. Interim bump: The Chicago Bears are hoping to get the interim coach bump. Chicago fired Matt Eberflus after another late-game meltdown and promoted Thomas Brown to interim coach starting with Sunday’s game at San Francisco. Interim coaches have split their debuts this season, with Jeff Ulbrich losing his first game for the New York Jets and Darren Rizzi winning his debut for New Orleans. Over the last 10 seasons, teams have gotten a bump from changing coaches, with the interims going 13-11 in their first game. Those teams that fired coaches had posted a .284 winning percentage before the change. Eberflus’ tenure was one of the worst ever. He went 14-32 (.304) for the 13th-worst winning percentage ever among the 229 coaches with at least 45 games. He was at his worst in close games, with a 5-17 mark in games decided by seven points or fewer.
