Football: Falmouth dethrones Kennebunk to win first state championship
Governors elected on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) platform have called on the Party’s National Working Committee to organise a meeting of the Party’s National Executive Committee by the first week of February at the latest. Naija News recalls that the NWC has continued to postpone the NEC, expected to discuss some issues bedevilling the Party and present a substantive National Chairman of the Party who will take over from Umar Damagum and complete the tenure of the suspended Iyorchia Ayu. The Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, who is also the chairman of the Forum, in a communique read to journalists on Saturday, said the meeting will allow elaborate consultations with critical stakeholders of the Party. He said, “The Forum notes the concerns of Nigerians, PDP founding fathers, elders and members of our great Party of seeming divisions within the ranks and files. “The Forum wishes to state categorically that it remains resolute in its determination to ensure unity and cohesion of this great Party that Nigerians have come to trust as the best platform for democratic governance. “The Forum is constrained to accept the latest postponement of the National Executive Council (NEC) of the Party in empathy with our colleague, Governor Umo Eno whose late dear wife will be buried on the same day earlier scheduled for NEC. “The Forum is strongly advising the NWC to call NEC latest by the first week of February 2025 to allow for elaborate consultations with critical stakeholders of the Party. The period between November and February is to address the existential problems confronting the Party, with a deliberate timeline of activities within the period under review to address issues of leadership and litigations confronting the Party.” Mohammed also said the Forum empathized with Nigerians who are “groaning under the oppressive economic hardship foisted on the nation by the policies and decisions of the APC-led Federal Government.” Mohammed also called on President Bola Tinubu to urgently review macroeconomic and fiscal policies that will address the welfare and well-being of Nigerians. The Forum added that “all PDP Governors will continue to aggressively pursue policies and programs that will reduce the hardship and ensure progress and development.” They also lamented about the Edo and Ondo State Governorship elections won by the APC and asked the judiciary to save the country’s democracy.
NEIL Gray was right to take a government limo to a star-studded film premiere because the movie featured drug and alcohol addiction and was therefore government business, John Swinney has insisted. The Health Secretary took a ministerial car to Cameo Picturehouse in Edinburgh on August 15 this year to attend the opening reception of the city's Film Festival - which included a screening of the new Saoirse Ronan film, Outrun. 3 John Swinney has rallied behind Neil Gray after his Edinburgh Film Festival visit Credit: Andrew Barr 3 The health secretary attended festival's opening gala which featured a screening of Saoirse Ronan's film Outrun Credit: Getty 3 Mr Gray has been criticised recently for using government cars to visit football games Credit: Alamy But the First Minister claimed that this was still “government business” due to the film’s themes of addiction. He said: “He was attending a film which is addressing the issues of drug addiction , alcohol addiction and mental health and wellbeing and therefore relevant to his portfolio interests as cabinet secretary of health.” Mr Gray attended the glitzy premiere alongside his wife - despite holding the health secretary role and the fact culture secretary Angus Robertson was also there. He was appointed as the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care in February this year, having previously been the Cabinet Secretary for Wellbeing Economy, Fair Work and Energy from March 2023 to February 2024.

By ROB GILLIES TORONTO (AP) — Canada is already examining possible retaliatory tariffs on certain items from the United States should President-elect Donald Trump follow through on his threat to impose sweeping tariffs on Canadian products, a senior official said Wednesday. Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on products from Canada and Mexico if the countries don’t stop what he called the flow of drugs and migrants across southern and northern borders. He said he would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the U.S. from Canada and Mexico as one of his first executive orders. A Canadian government official said Canada is preparing for every eventuality and has started thinking about what items to target with tariffs in retaliation. The official stressed no decision has been made. The person spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak publicly. When Trump imposed higher tariffs during his first term in office, other countries responded with retaliatory tariffs of their own. Canada, for instance, announced billions of new duties in 2018 against the U.S. in a tit-for-tat response to new taxes on Canadian steel and aluminum. Many of the U.S. products were chosen for their political rather than economic impact. For example, Canada imports $3 million worth of yogurt from the U.S. annually and most comes from one plant in Wisconsin, home state of then-House Speaker Paul Ryan. That product was hit with a 10% duty. Another product on the list was whiskey, which comes from Tennessee and Kentucky, the latter of which is the home state of then-Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell. Trump made the threat Monday while railing against an influx of illegal migrants, even though the numbers at Canadian border pale in comparison to the southern border. The U.S. Border Patrol made 56,530 arrests at the Mexican border in October alone — and 23,721 arrests at the Canadian one between October 2023 and September 2024. Canadian officials say lumping Canada in with Mexico is unfair but say they are happy to work with the Trump administration to lower the numbers from Canada. The Canadians are also worried about a influx north of migrants if Trump follows through with his plan for mass deportations. Trump also railed about fentanyl from Mexico and Canada, even though seizures from the Canadian border pale in comparison to the Mexican border. U.S. customs agents seized 43 pounds of fentanyl at the Canadian border last fiscal year, compared with 21,100 pounds at the Mexican border.

Canadian officials argue their country is not the problem and that tariffs will have severe implications for both countries. Canada is the top export destination for 36 U.S. states. Nearly $3.6 billion Canadian (US$2.7 billion) worth of goods and services cross the border each day. About 60% of U.S. crude oil imports are from Canada, and 85% of U.S. electricity imports are from Canada. Canada is also the largest foreign supplier of steel, aluminum and uranium to the U.S. and has 34 critical minerals and metals that the Pentagon is eager for and investing in for national security. “Canada is essential to the United States’ domestic energy supply,” Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said. Trump has pledged to cut American energy bills in half within 18 months, something that could be made harder if a 25% premium is added to Canadian oil imports. In 2023, Canadian oil accounted for almost two-thirds of total U.S. oil imports and about one-fifth of the U.S. oil supply. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is holding a emergency virtual meeting on Wednesday with the leaders of Canada’s provinces, who want Trudeau to negotiate a bilateral trade deal with the United States that excludes Mexico. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Wednesday that her administration is already working up a list of possible retaliatory tariffs “if the situation comes to that.”Musk heads to US Congress to discuss slashing government costs
By Hannah Fry, Los Angeles Times (TNS) Every day millions of people share more intimate information with their accessories than they do with their spouse. Wearable technology — smartwatches, smart rings, fitness trackers and the like — monitors body-centric data such as your heart rate, steps taken and calories burned, and may record where you go along the way. Like Santa Claus, it knows when you are sleeping (and how well), it knows when you’re awake, it knows when you’ve been idle or exercising, and it keeps track of all of it. People are also sharing sensitive health information on health and wellness apps , including online mental health and counseling programs. Some women use period tracker apps to map out their monthly cycle. These devices and services have excited consumers hoping for better insight into their health and lifestyle choices. But the lack of oversight into how body-centric data are used and shared with third parties has prompted concerns from privacy experts, who warn that the data could be sold or lost through data breaches, then used to raise insurance premiums, discriminate surreptitiously against applicants for jobs or housing, and even perform surveillance. The use of wearable technology and medical apps surged in the years following the COVID-19 pandemic, but research released by Mozilla on Wednesday indicates that current laws offer little protection for consumers who are often unaware just how much of their health data are being collected and shared by companies. “I’ve been studying the intersections of emerging technologies, data-driven technologies, AI and human rights and social justice for the past 15 years, and since the pandemic I’ve noticed the industry has become hyper-focused on our bodies,” said Mozilla Foundation technology fellow Júlia Keserű, who conducted the research. “That permeates into all kinds of areas of our lives and all kinds of domains within the tech industry.” The report “From Skin to Screen: Bodily Integrity in the Digital Age” recommends that existing data protection laws be clarified to encompass all forms of bodily data. It also calls for expanding national health privacy laws to cover health-related information collected from health apps and fitness trackers and making it easier for users to opt out of body-centric data collections. Researchers have been raising alarms about health data privacy for years. Data collected by companies are often sold to data brokers or groups that buy, sell and trade data from the internet to create detailed consumer profiles. Body-centric data can include information such as the fingerprints used to unlock phones, face scans from facial recognition technology, and data from fitness and fertility trackers, mental health apps and digital medical records. One of the key reasons health information has value to companies — even when the person’s name is not associated with it — is that advertisers can use the data to send targeted ads to groups of people based on certain details they share. The information contained in these consumer profiles is becoming so detailed, however, that when paired with other data sets that include location information, it could be possible to target specific individuals, Keserű said. Location data can “expose sophisticated insights about people’s health status, through their visits to places like hospitals or abortions clinics,” Mozilla’s report said, adding that “companies like Google have been reported to keep such data even after promising to delete it.” A 2023 report by Duke University revealed that data brokers were selling sensitive data on individuals’ mental health conditions on the open market. While many brokers deleted personal identifiers, some provided names and addresses of individuals seeking mental health assistance, according to the report. In two public surveys conducted as part of the research, Keserű said, participants were outraged and felt exploited in scenarios where their health data were sold for a profit without their knowledge. “We need a new approach to our digital interactions that recognizes the fundamental rights of individuals to safeguard their bodily data, an issue that speaks directly to human autonomy and dignity,” Keserű said. “As technology continues to advance, it is critical that our laws and practices evolve to meet the unique challenges of this era.” Consumers often take part in these technologies without fully understanding the implications. Last month, Elon Musk suggested on X that users submit X-rays, PET scans, MRIs and other medical images to Grok, the platform’s artificial intelligence chatbot, to seek diagnoses. The issue alarmed privacy experts, but many X users heeded Musk’s call and submitted health information to the chatbot. While X’s privacy policy says that the company will not sell user data to third parties, it does share some information with certain business partners. Gaps in existing laws have allowed the widespread sharing of biometric and other body-related data. Health information provided to hospitals, doctor’s offices and medical insurance companies is protected from disclosure under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act , known as HIPAA, which established federal standards protecting such information from release without the patient’s consent. But health data collected by many wearable devices and health and wellness apps don’t fall under HIPAA’s umbrella, said Suzanne Bernstein, counsel at Electronic Privacy Information Center. “In the U.S. because we don’t have a comprehensive federal privacy law ... it falls to the state level,” she said. But not every state has weighed in on the issue. Washington, Nevada and Connecticut all recently passed laws to provide safeguards for consumer health data. Washington, D.C., in July introduced legislation that aimed to require tech companies to adhere to strengthened privacy provisions regarding the collection, sharing, use or sale of consumer health data. In California, the California Privacy Rights Act regulates how businesses can use certain types of sensitive information, including biometric information, and requires them to offer consumers the ability to opt out of disclosure of sensitive personal information. “This information being sold or shared with data brokers and other entities hypercharge the online profiling that we’re so used to at this point, and the more sensitive the data, the more sophisticated the profiling can be,” Bernstein said. “A lot of the sharing or selling with third parties is outside the scope of what a consumer would reasonably expect.” Health information has become a prime target for hackers seeking to extort healthcare agencies and individuals after accessing sensitive patient data. Health-related cybersecurity breaches and ransom attacks increased more than 4,000% between 2009 and 2023, targeting the booming market of body-centric data, which is expected to exceed $500 billion by 2030, according to the report. “Nonconsensual data sharing is a big issue,” Keserű said. “Even if it’s biometric data or health data, a lot of the companies are just sharing that data without you knowing, and that is causing a lot of anxiety and questions.” ©2024 Los Angeles Times.

In the first half of the 19th century, between in the U.S. didn’t live past the age of 5. While overall child mortality was , the rate remained near 50% through the early 20th century for children living in the poorest slums. Threats from disease were extensive. Tuberculosis killed an estimated in the U.S. and Europe, and it was the in the early decades of the 19th century. Smallpox killed 80% of the children it infected. The high fatality rate of diphtheria and the apparent randomness of its onset caused when the disease emerged in the U.K. in the late 1850s. Multiple technologies now prevent epidemic spread of these and other once-common childhood illnesses, including polio, tetanus, whooping cough, measles, scarlet fever and cholera. protect drinking water from fecal contamination. kills tuberculosis, diphtheria, typhoid and other disease-causing organisms in milk. stopped purveyors from with the chalk, lead, alum, plaster and even arsenic once used to improve the color, texture or density of inferior products. to slow disease spread, and to many bacterial illnesses. As a result of these sanitary, regulatory and medical advances, child mortality rates have sat below 1% in the U.S. for the last 30 years. Victorian novels chronicle the terrible grief of losing children. Depicting the cruelty of diseases largely unfamiliar today, they also warn against being lulled into thinking that child deaths can never be inevitable again. Novels tapped into communal fears as they mourned fictional children. Little Nell, the angelic figure at the center of Charles Dickens’ wildly popular “ ,” fades away from an unnamed illness over the last few installments of this serialized novel. When the ship carrying the printed pages with the final part of the story pulled into New York, people apparently , asking if she had survived. The in, and grief over, her death reflects a shared experience of helplessness: No amount of love can save a child’s life. Eleven-year-old Anne Shirley of “ ” fame became a hero for pulling 3-year-old Minnie May through a dramatic . Readers knew this as a horrendous illness in which a membrane blocks the throat so effectively that a child will gasp to death. Children were familiar with disease risks. While typhus runs rampant in “ ,” killing nearly half the girls at their charity school, 13-year-old Helen Burns is struggling against tuberculosis. Ten-year-old Jane is filled with horror at the possible loss of the only person who has ever truly cared for her. An entire chapter deals frankly and emotionally with all this dying. Jane cannot bear separation from quarantined Helen and seeks her out one night, filled with “the dread of seeing a corpse.” In the chill of a Victorian bedroom, she slips under Helen’s blankets and tries to stifle her own sobs as Helen is overtaken with coughing. A teacher discovers them the next morning: “my face against Helen Burns’s shoulder, my arms round her neck. I was asleep, and Helen was – dead.” The disconcerting image of a child nestled in sleep against another child’s corpse may seem unrealistic. But it is very like the mid-19th-century taken of deceased children surrounded by their living siblings. The specter of death, such scenes remind us, lay at the center of Victorian childhood. Victorian periodicals and personal writings remind us that death being common did not make it less tragic. Darwin agonized at losing “the ,” when his 10-year-old daughter Annie succumbed to tuberculosis in 1851. The weekly magazine “Household Words” reported the 1853 death of a 3-year-old from typhoid fever in a London slum contaminated by an open cesspool. But better housing was no guarantee against waterborne infection. President Abraham Lincoln was “convulsed” and “unnerved,” his wife “inconsolable,” watching their son Willie, 11, in the White House. In 1856, Archibald Tait, then headmaster of Rugby and later Archbishop of Canterbury, lost in just over a month to scarlet fever. At the time, according to historians of medicine, this was the pediatric infectious disease in the U.S. and Europe, killing in England and Wales alone. Scarlet fever is now generally curable with a 10-day course of antibiotics. However, that recent outbreaks demonstrate we cannot relax our vigilance against contagion. Victorian fictions linger on child deathbeds. Modern readers, unused to earnest evocations of communal grief, may mock such sentimental scenes because it is easier to laugh at perceived exaggeration than to frankly confront the . “She was dead. Dear, gentle, patient, noble Nell was dead,” , at a time when a he knew might die before adulthood. For a reader whose own child could easily trade places with Little Nell, becoming “mute and motionless forever,” the sentence is an outpouring of parental anguish. These Victorian stories commemorate a profound, culturally shared grief. To dismiss them as old-fashioned is to assume they are outdated because of the passage of time. But the collective pain of a high child mortality rate was eradicated not by time, but by effort. Rigorous sanitation reform, food and water safety standards, and widespread use of disease-fighting tools like vaccines, quarantine, hygiene and antibiotics are choices. And the successes born of these choices if people begin choosing differently about health precautions. While tipping points differ by illness, epidemiologists agree that even small drops in vaccine rates can compromise herd immunity. and are already warning of the whose horrors 20th century advances helped wealthy societies forget. People who want to dismantle a century of resolute public health measures, , invite those horrors to return.

COLLEGE PARK – Thanksgiving break arrived a day early for Maryland men’s basketball. Offered the chance to feast on an outmatched opponent, the Terps did not turn down the invitation as they sprinted to a 23-point advantage at halftime and waltzed to a 91-67 thumping of visiting Bucknell on Wednesday evening. Maryland rained down a season-high 12 3-pointers in 31 attempts – a .387 percentage that is the offense’s second-best rate so far. Graduate student small forward Selton Miguel and junior small forward Tafara Gapare set the pace with three 3-pointers each. Gapare, a 6-foot-9, 215-pound Georgia Tech transfer, came off the bench to lead the team with 19 points (12 in the second half) on 7 of 9 shooting, including 3 of 4 behind the 3-point line, and grabbed six rebounds. Freshman center Derik Queen, a Baltimore resident, accumulated 15 points, eight rebounds, three steals and two assists, senior power forward Julian Reese, a Randallstown native and St. Frances graduate, dropped 10 of his 14 points in the first half, and Miguel, a South Florida transfer, scored all 13 of his points in the first 20 minutes and collected two rebounds and two assists to propel the Terps (6-1) to their third consecutive win and good vibes heading into the Thanksgiving holiday. Gapare’s showing might have been the most startling. Through the team’s first six games, he had scored a total of 16 points on 4 of 9 shooting, including 1 of 3 from 3-point range, and finished just one point shy of his career high set against Penn State on Dec. 16, 2023. In addition to its 3-point prowess, Maryland pounced on the Bison’s poor ball security. Bucknell turned the ball over 20 times, and the Terps converted those miscues into 22 points. Unlike Sunday’s comeback 76-75 victory over Villanova, Maryland made sure it avoided any dramatics with the Bison (4-4). The former raced to a 15-2 lead in the first 5:05 and a 25-7 advantage in the first 9:22. Bucknell didn’t help its cause by diving into droughts of 3:43 and 2:58 during the Terps’ runs. The Bison also committed 12 turnovers in the first half that Maryland converted into 16 points. The Terps’ offensive eruption in the first half was aided by remarkable efficiency from behind the 3-point line. They made 52.9% of their long-distance shots (9 of 17), and the nine 3-pointers were the most it had scored in a first half this season. Related Articles Maryland’s biggest lead of the first half occurred when Reese nailed a short jumper to lift them into a 51-26 advantage with 44 seconds left. A layup by Bucknell senior point guard Josh Bascoe trimmed the deficit to 51-28 heading into halftime. A layup by senior small forward Pip Ajayi and a 3-pointer by junior power forward Ruot Bijiek helped the Bison narrow the gap to 16 at 58-42 with 15:28 left in the second half. But Gapare scored 10 consecutive points and Reese added a pair of free throws to inflate the Terps’ advantage to 28 and cruise to the victory. Bijiek led Bucknell with 20 points, four rebounds and two assists, and Bascoe accrued 10 points, six rebounds and five assists. But the Bison missed senior Ian Motta – a starting small forward who entered the game averaging 11.8 points and 4.3 rebounds but left after appearing to suffer a right ankle injury just three minutes into the game – and lost for the second game in a row and the fourth time in their last six.PM Modi to participate in 'Odisha Parba 2024' in Delhi tomorrow

Sampson scored on a 14-yard TD run early in the second quarter for the game's first points to deliver his 22nd TD of tje season to break the Tennessee single-season mark set by Gene McEvers in 1929. Iamaleava was 15 of 20 for 173 yards for Tennessee (9-2), while Bru McCoy caught a pair of TD passes and Squirrel White and Ethan Davis each had a TD reception. Tennessee moved its all-time record to 2-0 against the Miners, also having blanked the Conference USA school 24-0 in 2018.

Skyler Locklear was 10-of-19 passing for 50 yards with an interception for UTEP (2-9), while rushing for 37 yards on eight carries. JP Pickles also had a turn at QB for the Miners and was 10 of 15 for 72 yards. Kenny Odom had eight receptions for 70 yards. Both defenses set the tone in the first quarter. The UTEP defense allowed just one first down to the Southeastern Conference team in three ugly series in the opening quarter and only 22 yards. In the second quarter, Sampson ended a 68-yard drive by dashing up the middle for 14 yards for the record-setting score to take a 7-0 lead with 13:22 remaining before halftime.
