At just 18 years old, Monir Hossain has become a beacon of hope for the village of Samitipara in Cox's Bazar. Monir's journey from hardship to success has inspired his community, offering a glimpse of what's possible with determination and opportunity. Samitipara, one of the poorest villages in Cox's Bazar, is a place where children often grow up amid uncertainty, with even basic needs unmet. Yet, Monir has defied these odds, transforming his life and inspiring those around him. With the training and opportunities he received through the Unicef Adolescent Development Programme, funded by the European Union, he changed his life and impacted those around him. The programme, designed for out-of-school adolescents aged 15 to 18, equips youth in host communities and Rohingya refugee camps with skills. For Monir, this meant learning computer applications and freelancing -- tools that opened doors to international opportunities and self-sufficiency. "I'm the only one in my village with a computer," Monir shared. "At first, children came just to see it, curious about what it could do. After my training, I'm working on international freelancing platforms and have a part-time job at a local computer shop. I pay for my education and support my family," he said. "Many job seekers come to me for assistance. I help them apply online, and they pay me for my service," he said. Monir's influence extends beyond employment. In a community where early marriage Monir is common, he's a vocal advocate against the practice. "Early marriage has long-term negative effects on children and families. I've convinced several parents to delay their daughters' marriages, emphasising the importance of education and stability," he said. His mother, Aleya Begum, said, "Everyone knows me as 'Monir's mother'. It makes me so proud." Monir isn't the only one transformed by the programme. Across Cox's Bazar, 5,493 adolescents attend 104 Unicef-established multi-purpose centres, offering education, vocational training, and courses on child protection, nutrition, and climate change awareness. Each six-month course equips participants with practical skills to improve their lives and contribute meaningfully to their communities. CHRONICLES OF CHANGE Eighteen-year-old Tarjina Akter Tasmim is another shining example. Initially met with obstacles, Tarjina completed her computer training and is now a skilled photo editor, social media manager, and social activist. "When I started, many questioned my decision. They said women shouldn't do such work. But after my training, the same people began appreciating my efforts," she said. Today, Tarjina works part-time for an NGO and advocates for women's and children's rights. Her activism has led to tangible results, such as helping a family file a case against a local boy accused of harming a young girl. "I address issues like stalking, child marriage, and violence against women by working with community elders," she said. Meanwhile, after completing an MS Office course, Sayef Hanafi Adil, 17, began working part-time in a computer shop, funding his education. Similarly, Ishrat, who only studied up to class five, used her tailoring training to improve her family's financial situation. She takes orders from neighbours and runs an online business. She does not have her sewing machine, relying on one at the Unicef training centre. Their stories are not just individual triumphs -- they are beacons of hope for their communities. As Monir puts it, "We're not just learning skills; we're building dreams." At just 18 years old, Monir Hossain has become a beacon of hope for the village of Samitipara in Cox's Bazar.

It remains to be seen who will and won’t be available when the 49ers embark on a cross country trip to face AFC East power Buffalo, currently 9-2 and the No, 2 seed in the conference. The 49ers are expected to get a practice lift with the activation of linebacker Dre Greenlaw, who will begin his 21-day window off injured reserve after offseason Achilles surgery after being injured in the Super Bowl. Cornerback Charvarius Ward, who worked with the scout team last week as he works through his grief following the loss of his 23-month-old daughter, may also begin getting work again with the first team. Are things actually looking up for the 49ers? One thing’s for sure is that the 49ers are looking up at everybody else in the AFC West but are still only a game out of first place with Seattle and Arizona at 6-5 and the 49ers and Rams at 5-6. It’s clear to Shanahan any pathway to the playoffs would be as a division title rather than as a wild card. “You look at the whole NFC picture and if you don’t win the division, 10-7 is not guaranteed to get in as a wild card by any means this year,” Shanahan told reporters during his weekly conference call. “That is why the Seattle game was so tough, and that’s why last night was even worse. “We know exactly what the playoff situation is, but really all that matters is this week when you do need to go on a run and put a lot of wins to even think of that, then you’d better be thinking of only one thing – and that’s Buffalo.” Should Purdy be unable to go, Shanahan said Brandon Allen would get a second start at quarterback. SNAP JUDGEMENTS 72: Safeties Ji’Ayir Brown and Malik Mustapha and middle linebacker Fred Warner played every defensive snap. 49: When Allen at quarterback and Jaylon Moore at left tackle play every snap (along with Colton McKivitz, Dominick Puni and Jake Brendel) then you know there’s a problem with injuries. And Allen and Moore were the least of their problems. 44: Leonard Floyd played 61 percent — about his usual number — even without Nick Bosa in the lineup. With 3 1/2 sacks in his last two games, he’s a half-sack behind Bosa fo the team lead. 33: Rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall Jr. played 67 percent of the snaps — the same as Deebo Samuel — and did not have a pass thrown his way. 21: Robbie Beal Jr. played a season-high number of snaps in Bosa’s absence at defensive end and did not appear on the stat sheet for having a tackle or an assist. 9: Running back Jordan Mason has played 14 snaps in three games since McCaffrey’s return and has six carries for 26 yards. 4: Tashun Gipson was promoted to the 53-man roster but still hasn’t played on defense in three games at safety. He had four special teams snaps against Green Bay. More to come on this breaking story . . .Media Strategy for Myanmar
Late surge helps Baylor beat Villanova, claim third place at Battle 4 AtlantisThe Pittsburgh Steelers hosted former Cleveland Browns nose tackle Siaki Ika on a free agent visit on Wednesday, according to a report by Aaron Wilson of KPRC-TV in Houston. Ika, 24, was the Browns’ third-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft out of Baylor. The 6-foot-3, 335-pound defensive lineman played in four games for the Browns as a rookie last year, playing in 100 snaps without recording a statistic. He was waived from the team this August and placed on the practice squad before being released on Oct. 15. The Philadelphia Eagles then signed him to their practice squad on Oct. 23 and cut him on Nov. 20. Both Philadelphia and Cleveland play base 4-3 defenses, where they don’t regularly use a nose tackle outside of goal-line situations. He could be a better fit in Pittsburgh, where the Steelers have not had a true backup to Keeanu Benton on the 53-man roster with Montravius Adams on the IR. The Steelers do have two nose tackles on their practices squad, Breiden Fehoko and Domenique Davis. Ika, a Utah native of Tongan descent, attended LSU for two years before transferring to Baylor in 2021. With the Bears, he had a breakout junior season in 2021, recording 24 tackles, six tackles for loss, four sacks and a pass breakup in 13 games, putting him on NFL Draft radars. Ika’s numbers weren’t as good as a senior posting 24 tackles, two tackles for loss and two passes defended in 2022. The massive nose tackle did not perform well in pre-draft testing. He ran a comically slow 5.39-second 40-yard dash and did not participate in the bench press. His stock slid from a borderline first-round draft pick to a third-rounder, and he still went below his NFL Mock Draft Database projection when the Browns took him at pick No. 98.
