(MENAFN- Jordan Times)
AMMAN - The Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation signed on Sunday two grant agreements with the European bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) worth around $11 million to support the implementation of a new wastewater treatment plant in West Irbid.
Minister of Planning and International Cooperation Zeina Toukan signed the agreements on behalf of the government, with the Minister of water and irrigation signing for the benefiting entity.
Gretchen Biry, EBRD's office manager in Amman and regional director for East Mediterranean operations, signed the agreements on behalf of the bank, according to the Jordan News Agency, Petra.
The signing ceremony was also attended by EU Ambassador Maria Hadjitheodosiou and UK Ambassador Bridget Brind.
The first grant, valued at $8 million, is funded by the UK under the High Impact Partnership on Climate Action Fund.
The second grant, worth 2.75 million euros, is provided by the EU through the Neighbourhood Investment Platform.
Together, these grants complement a $19 million loan provided by the EBRD in June 2024, bringing the total funding for the project to around $30 million.
The project aims to improve the wastewater system sustainably and reduce pressure on infrastructure, ultimately providing sanitation services to towns and villages included in the project, benefiting around 200,000 people across 17 villages in West Irbid and surrounding areas.
The new plant will have a total capacity of 12,000 cubic metres per day and will be implemented over four years.
Additionally, the treated wastewater will be used as a sustainable source for irrigating agricultural lands around the plant and neighbouring areas.
Toukan expressed gratitude to the EBRD, the UK, and the EU for their support of this vital service project and their continuous support for Jordan's developmental priorities under the Economic Modernisation Vision.
Biry said, "We are very proud of our ongoing cooperation with the EU and the UK in Jordan to help improve wastewater services in West Irbid. We commend the Jordanian government's efforts and continuous investments in essential infrastructure. By working together, we are committed to enhancing municipal infrastructure in Jordan."
"The new wastewater facility will provide essential sanitation services for the first time to the local community and Syrian refugees, contributing to the livelihoods of West Irbid residents and promoting sustainable water management in the area," she added.

A newly developed AI tool, PlacentaVision, enables rapid analysis of placental images to detect infections and potential health risks, improving maternal and neonatal care.
A newly created tool that combines computer vision and artificial intelligence (AI) could assist healthcare providers in quickly assessing placentas during birth, potentially enhancing maternal and neonatal care, according to recent research from Northwestern Medicine and Penn State (1✔ ✔Trusted Source
Cross-modal contrastive learning for unified placenta analysis using photographs
Go to source). The study, published in the journal Patterns and highlighted on its cover, introduces a computer program called PlacentaVision. This program can analyze a basic photograph of the placenta to identify abnormalities linked to infections and neonatal sepsis, a severe condition affecting millions of newborns worldwide.
‘Did You Know?
Most of the placenta develops from the fertilized egg, which means most of the placenta genetically matches the baby. #medindia #placenta #baby’

Highlights of the Study:
- Early identification of placental infection could help mothers, babies receive antibiotics.
- Could help doctors in low-resource areas with no pathology labs, specialists quickly spot issues.
- In well-resourced hospitals, tool could help doctors determine which placentas need a closer look.

Importance of Placenta in Medical Research
“Placenta is one of the most common specimens that we see in the lab,” said study co-author Dr. Jeffery Goldstein, director of perinatal pathology and an associate professor of pathology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. “When the neonatal intensive care unit is treating a sick kid, even a few minutes can make a difference in medical decision making. With a diagnosis from these photographs, we can have an answer days earlier than we would in our normal process.”Northwestern provided the largest set of images for the study, and Goldstein led the development and troubleshooting of the algorithms.
Alison D. Gernand, contact principal investigator on the project, conceived the original idea for this tool through her global health work, particularly with pregnancies where women deliver in their homes due to lack of health care resources.

Overlooked Opportunities in Placenta Analysis
“Discarding the placenta without examination is a common but often overlooked problem,” said Gernand, associate professor in the Penn State College of Health and Human Development (HHD) Department of Nutritional Sciences. “It is a missed opportunity to identify concerns and provide early intervention that can reduce complications and improve outcomes for both the mother and the baby.”Why early examination of the placenta matters
The placenta plays a vital role in the health of both the pregnant individual and baby during pregnancy, yet it is often not thoroughly examined at birth, especially in areas with limited medical resources.“This research could save lives and improve health outcomes,” said Yimu Pan, a doctoral candidate in the informatics program from the College of Information Sciences and Technology (IST) and lead author on the study. “It could make placental examination more accessible, benefitting research and care for future pregnancies, especially for mothers and babies at higher risk of complications.”
Prompt Medical Actions Enabled by Early Placental Infection Identification
Early identification of placental infection through tools like PlacentaVision might enable clinicians to take prompt actions, such as administering antibiotics to the mother or baby and closely monitoring the newborn for signs of infection, the scientists said.PlacentaVision is intended for use across a range of medical demographics, according to the researchers.
“In low-resource areas — places where hospitals don’t have pathology labs or specialists — this tool could help doctors quickly spot issues like infections from a placenta,” Pan said. “In well-equipped hospitals, the tool may eventually help doctors determine which placentas need further, detailed examination, making the process more efficient and ensuring the most important cases are prioritized.”
Overcoming Technical Challenges for Global Deployment
“Before such a tool can be deployed globally, core technical obstacles we faced were to make the model flexible enough to handle various diagnoses related to the placenta and to ensure that the tool can be robust enough to handle various delivery conditions, including variation in lighting conditions, imaging quality and clinical settings” said James Z. Wang, distinguished professor in the College of IST at Penn State and one of the principal investigators on the study. “Our AI tool needs to maintain accuracy even when many training images come from a well-equipped urban hospital. Ensuring that PlacentaVision can handle a wide range of real-world conditions was essential.”How the tool learned how to analyze pictures of placentas
The researchers used cross-modal contrastive learning, an AI method for aligning and understanding relationship between different types of data — in this case, visual (images) and textual (pathological reports) — to teach a computer program how to analyze pictures of placentas. They gathered a large, diverse dataset of placental images and pathological reports spanning a 12-year period, studied how these images relate to health outcomes and built a model that could make predictions based on new images. The team also developed various image alteration strategies to simulate different photo-taking conditions so the model’s resilience can be evaluated properly.The result was PlacentaCLIP+, a robust machine-learning model that can analyze photos of placentas to detect health risks with high accuracy. It was validated cross-nationally to confirm consistent performance across populations.
According to the researchers, PlacentaVision is designed to be easy to use, potentially working through a smartphone app or integrated into medical record software so doctors can get quick answers after delivery.
Next step: A user-friendly app for medical staff
“Our next steps include developing a user-friendly mobile app that can be used by medical professionals — with minimal training — in clinics or hospitals with low resources,” Pan said. “The user-friendly app would allow doctors and nurses to photograph placentas and get immediate feedback and improve care.”The researchers plan to make the tool even smarter by including more types of placental features and adding clinical data to improve predictions while also contributing to research on long-term health. They’ll also test the tool in different hospitals to ensure it works in a variety of settings.
“This tool has the potential to transform how placentas are examined after birth, especially in parts of the world where these exams are rarely done,” Gernand said. “This innovation promises greater accessibility in both low- and high-resource settings. With further refinement, it has the potential to transform neonatal and maternal care by enabling early, personalized interventions that prevent severe health outcomes and improve the lives of mothers and infants worldwide.”

NEW YORK - About 45,000 years ago, a tiny group of people - fewer than 1,000 - wandered the icy northern fringes of Europe. Across thousands of miles of tundra, they hunted woolly rhinoceros and other big game. Their skin was most likely dark.
To keep warm in the bone-chilling temperatures, they probably wore the hides and furs of the animals they killed. These hardy people of the ice age, known as the LRJ culture, left behind distinctive stone tools and their own remains in caves scattered across Europe.
On Thursday last week, researchers revealed the genomes of seven LRJ individuals from fossilized bones found in Germany and the Czech Republic - the oldest genetic specimens of modern humans yet found.
It turns out the LRJ people were part of the early human expansion from Africa to other parts of the world. But theirs was a surprisingly recent migration. The common ancestors of the LRJ people and today’s non-Africans lived about 47,000 years ago. In contrast, studies of remains in Australia suggest that modern humans reached that continent 65,000 years ago. And in China, researchers have found what look like the bones of modern humans dating back 100,000 years.
The huge gap between those ages could change our understanding about how humans spread across the world. If the ancestors of today’s non-Africans didn’t sweep across other continents until 47,000 years ago, then those older sites must have been occupied by earlier waves of humans who died off without passing down their DNA to the people now living in places such as China and Australia.
“They cannot be part of the genetic diversity that’s present outside Africa,” said Johannes Krause, a geneticist at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, and an author of the new study.
The newly discovered genomes come from fossils that have baffled scientists for decades. In 1950, archaeologists digging in a cave in what is now the Czech Republic found the skull of an ancient woman. They could not determine its age, however. They found stone tools at the site, known as Zlatý kůň, but the tools were not distinctive enough to link the woman to any particular cultural group.
A few years ago, Max Planck researchers managed to extract some DNA from the skull. A preliminary analysis hinted that the woman belonged to an ancient branch of humans. (continues below)

Meanwhile, another set of ancient bones arrived from a cave in Germany called Ranis, about 140 miles west of Zlatý kůň. The Ranis remains were discovered more than a century ago.
Archaeologists had concluded that they had all belonged to a single ancient culture, which they called the Lincombian-Ranisian-Jerzmanowician, or LRJ for short. But they did not know much more. It was not clear if the LRJ people were modern humans or Neanderthals, for example.
In 2016, a team of archaeologists went back into Ranis for a fresh look. Marcel Weiss, an archaeologist at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in Germany, and his colleagues uncovered a new batch of fossils and tools and used 21st-century methods to analyze them. The fossils yielded a wealth of DNA - enough to reconstruct the genomes of six individuals. They were all closely related to one another, including a mother and her daughter.
The scientists also discovered that two of them were closely related to the Zlatý kůň woman. “It’s the same group, the same extended family,” Krause said. “It could be that they knew each other.”
The researchers estimated that all seven sets of fossils were at least 45,000 years old. Their genomes are now bringing the LRJ people out of history’s shadow. Their genetic similarity indicates that they belonged to a tiny population that only numbered a few hundred at any given time. And the close kinship between the six Ranis and single Zlatý kůň individuals suggests that the LRJ people wandered in small bands over vast distances, spending little time in any one place.
“If I were to go to New York and just take one person from the Bronx and then go over to Long Island and take another person from there, it would be unlikely that these two have a common ancestor within the last three generations,” said Kay Prüfer, a paleogeneticist at Max Planck and co-author of the new study. “But, of course, we are talking about the deep past, when things were different.”
Prüfer and his colleagues found that the LRJ people lacked some key mutations found in living Europeans. They did not have the genes that produce pale skin, for example, which suggests that they had dark pigmentation, as their ancestors who emerged from Africa did. The scientists also used the genomes to figure out where the LRJ people fit on the human family tree. Previous studies had established that human ancestors evolved for millions of years in Africa. (continues below)

About 600,000 years ago, the ancestors of Neanderthals split off on their own. They spread through the Middle East and established themselves across Europe and western Asia. Neanderthals endured for hundreds of thousands of years, disappearing from the fossil record about 40,000 years ago. Modern humans remained longer in Africa before expanding to other continents. When they met Neanderthals, possibly in the Middle East, they interbred.
Today, all humans around the world carry at least a trace of Neanderthal DNA. Although the broad outlines of this history are well established, scientists are still struggling to pin down the specifics. Estimates of when modern humans and Neanderthals first interbred have ranged from 54,000 years ago to 41,000 years ago, for example. Krause and his colleagues discovered that, unlike living humans, the LRJ people had long stretches of Neanderthal DNA in their genomes.
This suggests that relatively little time had passed since modern humans interbred with Neanderthals. Krause and his colleagues estimate that the interbreeding took place 1,000 to 2,500 years beforehand, or about 46,000 years ago. In another study published Thursday, a second team of scientists reached a similar conclusion by surveying Neanderthal DNA in fossils and in living people.
“It was really fantastic to see a similar date,” said Priya Moorjani, a paleogeneticist at the University of California, Berkeley, and an author of the second study. Independent scientists said that the new timing suggested that modern humans moved from the Middle East to the northern margins of Europe at a remarkable speed.
“The time frame gets really tight,” said Pontus Skoglund, a paleogeneticist at the Francis Crick Institute in London. Skoglund also said it would be strange for non-African ancestors to have arisen about 47,000 years ago while modern humans in Asia and Australia dated back 100,000 years.
The sites in question could have been incorrectly dated, he said, or people could have reached Asia and Australia that long ago, only to die out.
He Yu, a paleogeneticist at Peking University in Beijing who was not involved in either study, said the mystery wouldn’t be solved until scientists find DNA in some of the ancient Asian fossils. “We still need early modern human genomes from Asia to really talk about Asia stories,” Yu said.

Jennifer Aniston Upset With Emma Roberts
Actress Jennifer Aniston is not happy with her "We're the Millers" co-star Emma Roberts.
Actress Jennifer Aniston is not happy with her "We're the Millers" co-star Emma Roberts. If sources are to be believed, Aniston has had enough of Robert's behaviour, reports showbizspy.com.
"Jen totally disapproves of Emma's hard partying and public blowups," said a source.
"She's even told Emma that unless she shapes up, she may not be invited back for a possible Millers' sequel," the source added.
Roberts, 22, was charged for domestic violence in Montreal in July after she hit her boyfriend Evan Peters.
She was released after questioning, and the case was closed.
"Jen's known Emma since she was 12. It's sad because Jen's been backing her career all the way. Jen's an old pro, and the crazy headlines about Emma and her diva behavior just don't sit well with her," the source said.

I was down in the backyard being nice & quiet, hoping to capture some of the birds that are a bit elusive (like the little blue fairy wrens that are always too quick for me), and next thing this low flying plane buzzed over, so I quickly got a shot of it between the branches of the tree I was under.
That was the end of being nice & quite as I’m pretty sure it scared any birds away. So my shot for today is a low flying airplane & not a sweet little bird...lol

AMMAN - The 16th Arab conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic energy kicked off in Amman on Sunday, with Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Saleh Kharabsheh attending the event on behalf of Prime Minister Jafar Hassan.
The conference, organised by the Arab Atomic Energy Agency in cooperation with the Jordan Atomic Energy Commission (JAEC), attracted scientists, researchers and experts from across the Arab world to discuss advances in nuclear technology and its peaceful applications, according to the Jordan News Agency, Petra.
In his keynote address, JAEC Chairman Khaled Toukan stressed the importance of the conference as a platform for collaboration where Arab experts can share achievements, explore challenges and promote innovation.
Toukan highlighted Jordan's progress in nuclear energy, particularly through the Jordan Research and Training Reactor (JRTR), which has become a "cornerstone" of the Kingdom's nuclear programme.
The reactor has a vital role in the production of radiopharmaceutical isotopes, including iodine-131, which is used to diagnose and treat thyroid cancer. It now supplies all national nuclear medicine centres with isotopes that meet international standards, he said.
Toukan also provided an update on uranium mining in central Jordan, where an estimated 41,000 tonnes of uranium ore is undergoing detailed economic and technical evaluation.
Highlighting Jordan's role in scientific research, Toukan discussed the SESAME (Synchrotron-Light for Experimental Science and Applications in the Middle East) facility, which now operates five beamlines.
He added that SESAME researchers have completed 367 laboratory projects, resulting in 127 publications in leading scientific journals, noting that a sixth beamline, focusing on soft X-ray technology, is expected to be operational by mid-2025.
Speaking at the event, Arab League Secretary General Ahmed Aboul Gheit highlighted the region's growing energy needs, predicting a 70 per cent increase in electricity capacity by 2050.
The conference has attracted more than 150 Arab scientists and researchers, as well as international experts from renowned institutions, to share findings on topics such as water resources, food security, health, environmental sustainability, nuclear safety, advanced reactor technologies and materials science.
During the five-day event, participants will explore cutting-edge innovations, including advanced reactor designs, nuclear applications in health and environmental management, and the role of nuclear technology in meeting the growing demand for clean energy.

A diet low in omega-6 and high in omega-3 fatty acids, along with fish oil supplements, may slow prostate cancer growth in patients undergoing active surveillance.
A recent study conducted by researchers at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center provides fresh evidence that dietary modifications may help slow the growth of cancer cells in patients undergoing active surveillance—a treatment strategy that involves monitoring cancer without immediate treatment (1✔ ✔Trusted Source
A low omega-6, omega-3 rich diet and fish oil may slow prostate cancer growth, UCLA study finds
Go to source). The study, published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, found that a diet low in omega-6 and high in omega-3 fatty acids, along with fish oil supplements, notably slowed the growth of prostate cancer cells in men with early-stage disease.

Simple Dietary Adjustments as a Strategy to Delay Aggressive Treatments
“This is an important step toward understanding how diet can potentially influence prostate cancer outcomes,” said Dr. William Aronson, Professor of Urology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and first author of the study. “Many men are interested in lifestyle changes, including diet, to help manage their cancer and prevent the progression of their disease. Our findings suggest that something as simple as adjusting your diet could potentially slow cancer growth and extend the time before more aggressive interventions are needed."Many men with low-risk prostate cancer choose active surveillance over immediate treatment, however, within five years, about 50% of these men eventually need to undergo therapy with either surgery or radiation. Because of this, patients are eager to find ways to delay the need for treatment, including through dietary changes or supplements. However, specific dietary guidelines in this area have yet to be established. While other clinical trials have looked at increasing vegetable intake and healthy diet patterns, none have found a significant impact on slowing cancer progression.

Study Design
To determine whether diet or supplements can play a role in managing prostate cancer, the UCLA-led team conducted a prospective clinical trial, called CAPFISH-3, that included 100 men with low risk or favorable intermediate risk prostate cancer who chose active surveillance. Participants were randomly assigned to either continue their normal diet or follow a low omega-6, high omega-3 diet, supplemented with fish oil, for one year.Advertisement
Personalized Dietary Counseling for the Intervention Group
Participants in the intervention arm received dietary personalized counseling by a registered dietician nutritionist, either in-person, through telehealth or by phone. Patients were guided on healthier, lower fat alternatives for high fat/high calorie foods (such as using olive oil or lemon and vinegar for salad dressing), and on reducing consumption of foods with higher omega-6 content (such as, chips, cookies, mayonnaise and other fried or processed foods). The goal was to create a favorable balance of their intake of omega-6 and omega-3 fats and make participants feel empowered to control how they change their behavior. They were also given fish oil capsules for extra omega-3s. The control group did not get any dietary counseling or take fish oil capsules.The researchers tracked changes in a biomarker called the Ki-67 index, which indicates how fast cancer cells are multiplying—a key predictor of cancer progression, metastasis and survival.
Same site biopsies were obtained at the start of the study and again after the one-year mark, using an image fusion device that helps track and locate the cancer sites.
Significant Reduction in Cancer Cell Growth in the Intervention Group
Results showed that the low omega-6, omega-3 rich diet and fish oil group had a 15% decrease in the Ki-67 index, while the control group saw a 24% increase.“This significant difference suggests that the dietary changes may help slow cancer growth, potentially delaying or even preventing the need for more aggressive treatments,” said Aronson, who is also the Chief of urologic oncology at the West Los Angeles Veterans Affairs Medical Center and member of the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center.
While the results are promising, researchers did not find any differences in other cancer growth markers, such as Gleason grade, which are commonly used to track prostate cancer progression.
Need for Further Research
The investigators caution that further research is necessary to confirm the long-term benefits of omega-3 fatty acids and lowering omega-6 in managing prostate cancer. The findings support further, larger trials to explore the long-term impact of dietary changes on cancer progression, treatment outcomes and survival rates in men on active surveillance.Reference:

Scarlett Johansson has flaunted her famous sex appeal in a photo shoot for cover of 'Interview' magazine, in which she talks about the rejection she felt while trying to act as a young New Yorker.
The 28-year-old bombshell, who has been in the acting business since she was 8, told 'Black Swan' director Darren Aronofsky that there was someone in her older brother's class who was doing some commercials and theatre, so her mom took her to that kid's agent because she loved musicals.
However, she was left devastated when the kid's agent did not select her.
Johansson said she didn't do too well on her SATs and didn't get into NYU's film school.
Talking about her upcoming film 'The Avengers' sequel, she said that she'll be shooting that in January.

NFL Research spotlights the best nuggets from each slate of games. Here are the most eye-popping statistical accomplishments from Week 15 of the 2024 NFL season.
1) Jackson joins elite club with five-TD performance
Lamar Jackson's performance in 2024 may not win him his third NFL MVP, but it has added several more mentions of his name to the NFL record books.
In Week 15 against the two-win Giants, Jackson and the Ravens did not hesitate to pile on the points, as the two-time NFL MVP threw five touchdowns and the Ravens walked away from MetLife Stadium with a 35-14 win.
Jackson, who completed 21 of 25 passes for 290 yards, five touchdowns and zero interceptions, had his sixth career game with at least five touchdown passes and zero picks -- moving him into the third place for the most such games in an entire career. Only Tom Brady and Drew Brees have more such games in the history of the league (each had eight such games).
The context -- Brady was 40 years old when he had his sixth such game and Brees was 34.
Jackson turns 28 next month.
It was also the fifth time in Jackson's career that he threw at least five touchdown passes and five or fewer incompletions -- no one else in NFL history has more than three of those games in their career.
If his performance through the air was not enough, Jackson also added 65 yards on the ground in Week 15, moving his career total up to 6,001 rushing yards. Jackson joined Michael Vick (6,109) as the only quarterbacks in NFL history with 6,000 career rushing yards.
2) Allen continues to lead Bills' offense to new heights
Josh Allen has now gone three consecutive weeks with a game that puts him in the "first player in NFL history to do X, Y and Z" category.
We had the snow game where he caught his "own" touchdown via lateral, we had the game where he accounted for six touchdowns in a loss and finally a simple 48-42 win on the road against the top-seeded team in the NFC.
In Allen's last three games he has totaled 14 touchdowns (adding his passing, rushing and receiving touchdowns together), tied for the third most in any three-game span in NFL history. Only Tom Brady (16 touchdowns in October of 2007) and Peyton Manning (15 in November of 2004) had more touchdowns in a three-game span.
Allen became the first player in NFL history with multiple passing touchdowns and multiple rushing touchdowns in consecutive games (that's a lot of fantasy points).
The Bills' offense have scored 17 touchdowns, zero giveaways and have not allowed a sack in their last three games.
Buffalo is the only team since the 1970 merger to score 15-plus touchdowns and have zero giveaways and zero sacks in a three-game span. Pretty good run for Joe Brady's offense.
3) Giants rookie WR Nabers on pace to catch OBJ's record
It was a loss, but Malik Nabers has continued to make history despite a dismal season in New York with three different starting quarterbacks.
Nabers finished with 10 receptions for 82 yards and a touchdown in a Week 15 loss to the Ravens.
It was the former LSU superstar's third game this season with at least 10 receptions, trailing only former LSU superstar and 2014 AP Offensive Rookie of the Year Odell Beckham Jr. for the most 10-catch games by a rookie (Beckham had four such games in 2014).
Nabers has 90 career receptions through 12 games, just one fewer than Beckham's record of 91 receptions through 12 games.
4) Aaron Rodgers turns back the clock with vintage performance in road win
Don't look now, but the Jets are … well, they're still eliminated from playoff contention.
That being said, Week 15 against the Jaguars was the best the Jets offense has looked all season. Rodgers had three touchdowns and zero turnovers and Davante Adams had an eye-popping 198 yards and two touchdowns (all of which came after halftime).
As for the Jets' leading rusher -- Breece Hall it was not. Instead, 41-year-old Rodgers paved the way with 45 yards in six carries.
Rodgers joined Tom Brady as the only players in NFL history to lead their team in rushing yards in a game after turning 40 years old. Rodgers also joined Doug Flutie as the only players with at least 40 rushing yards in a game after turning 40 years old.
5) Daniels strengthens his case for Offensive Rookie of the Year
The Commanders barely avoided blowing a 20-7 fourth quarter lead to a fifth-round rookie quarterback who came in off the bench… but avoid it they did, with a 20-19 win in New Orleans.
Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels completed 25 of 31 passes for 225 yards and two touchdowns -- while also leading the team with his 66 yards on the ground.
It was Daniels' fourth game this season completing at least 80 percent of his passes (minimum 20 attempts), tying Dak Prescott (2023), Trevor Lawrence (2022), Kirk Cousins (2019) and Drew Brees (2018) for the most such games in a single season all-time.
Daniels also surpassed 3,000 career passing yards and has 656 rushing yards in his career -- making him just the fourth rookie in NFL history with at least 3,000 passing yards and 500 rushing yards (Cam Newton, Robert Griffin III and Kyler Murray -- all three won Offensive Rookie of the Year).

Rising cases of RSV, COVID-19, and norovirus this winter highlight the pressure on the NHS and the urgent need for prevention and vigilant healthcare.
Quad-demic! The NHS in England has coined a new term to describe the four conditions expected to surge this winter (1✔ ✔Trusted Source
NHS urges a 'now or never' vaccine warning to stay safe from a "quademic" this winter
Go to source). The four conditions are flu, COVID-19, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and norovirus. NHS officials reported that hospitals in England are managing record-high flu levels as winter approaches. This has increased hospital care by up to 70%.
Though flu and influenza can improve without medical aid, some people may get ill and need hospital care. Symptoms include fever, aches, fatigue, sore throat, dry cough, headache, diarrhea, and vomiting.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus: Symptoms and Risks
RSV is a common respiratory infection that causes mild, cold-like symptoms. Children below 2 years are more prone to it. However, for some children, it can lead to severe disease or death. In infants, the virus can cause bronchiolitis leading to the inflammation of the small airways and significant breathing difficulties.Symptoms include a runny nose, decreased appetite, coughing, sneezing, fever, and wheezing. Each year in the UK the virus spreads in the winter and surges in December.
The UK started its first RSV vaccination campaign this September. The vaccine is also recommended for pregnant women to help protect their babies after birth and adults aged 75 to 79.

Covid-19 and Norovirus: Winter Safety Tips
The head of the World Health Organization, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that “Covid is still with us and it causes acute disease and long Covid leading to death.”About 1,343 people tested positive for Covid-19 in England in the first week of December. Because Covid-19 is included in the NHS’s “quad-demic” definition, health officials expect these numbers to rise.
Norovirus (vomiting bug) can be treated at home but vomiting and diarrhea can lead to loss of water and electrolytes from the body causing dehydration. Elderly people, young children, and those with weakened immune systems are at risk of becoming dehydrated and it has to be treated.

NHS Winter Crisis
Every year the NHS faces pressure in the winter as demand for medical services increases as flu and other viral infections spread in the community. This can worsen the symptoms of pre-existing disease conditions.Experts have expressed concern that the NHS is running “red hot” at the beginning of winter already. This can be challenging for the NHS and one of the worst it has faced.
An average of 96,661 beds were filled each day last week, 94.6% of the total available. This has increased to 96,587 from the previous week.
“Prevention is better than cure.” It is important to take care of our health and seek medical assistance when required without waiting for the conditions to become normal.

Featuring as a gripping courtroom drama, this film deeply resonates with society’s misogynistic treatment of any issue involving a woman. Emphasising on topics like victim-blaming, patriarchy, and resilience, the film points the fingers towards everyone in the society who fails to bring a positive change in the existing discrimination and stigmas especially against women.

It explores one such life of a young girl named Aruvi who gets disowned by her family and her survival against the odds.
The film haunts the viewer with a demanding change analysing major issues relevant to the current modernistic world. In a society that runs on money and power, the film reinforces the need to have long-lost humanity and compassion among humans.

Directed by: Nitesh Tiwari
Release date: 23 December 2016
Where to watch: Amazon Prime Video
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, and starring Aamir Khan, the film unfolds the story of Mahavir Singh Poghat who is forced to give up on his dream of winning a gold medal but trains his daughters to win the Commonwealth Games despite the gender stereotypes and social stigmas.

4. Lipstick Under My Burkha (Hindi)
Directed by: Alankrita Shrivastava
Release date: 21 July 2017
Where to watch: Amazon Prime Video
Set in the backdrop of a small town in India, this film portrays the life of four women yearning for freedom. Co-written and directed by Alankrita Shrivastava, the narratives capture the reality of women and their suppressed desires.
Ever wondered how freedom for a woman becomes a forbidden fruit in a world filled with subjugated males? This story shows a reflection of that world where these women try to live a life they deserve, where freedom lies within.
5. Bulbul Can Sing (Assamese)
Directed by: Rima Das
Release date: 7 September 2018

With a title apt to the theme of the narrative, this film portrays a teenage school-going girl and her two friends who discover and rediscover life through bitter encounters. The film carries a relevant message in the simplest way making the viewers ingrained in the story.
The film also explores layers of freedom, sexuality, love, patriarchy in nuanced ways.
6. Uyare (Malayalam)
Directed by: Manu Ashokan
Release date: 26 April 2019
Where to watch: Amazon Prime Video
2019 was a year in Indian cinema that witnessed a flow of films closely reflecting society. Uyare was one among those setting the bar high with its strong storytelling format. Directed by Manu Ashokan, starring Parvathi Thiruvothu as the lead protagonist, Uyare features an acid attack survivor’s resilient journey. Disturbing realities of a toxic relationship are portrayed without any glorification of hyper-masculinity, calling out many unhealthy behaviours existing in the name of love.
7. Thappad (Hindi)
Directed by: Anubhav Sinha
Release date: 28 February 2020
Where to watch: Amazon Prime Video
The life of Amrita takes a turn when she faces a slap from her husband that makes her realise herself, and challenge the norms around her which were blurry for her before. In a society that (unfortunately) normalises beating and slapping, the movie shows why the one slap shattered her seemingly perfect marriage life which was built on many unsaid rules of patriarchy. With subplots and other characters leading the story, Thappad exposes the underbelly of deeply rooted patriarchal relationships in India.
8. The Great Indian Kitchen (Tamil/Malayalam)
Directed by: Jeo Baby
Release date: 15 January 2021
Where to watch: Amazon Prime Video
A film that challenges all the conventional rules set for married women in India, that is what The Great Indian Kitchen is all about! In Indian society where marriage is very often misjudged as a system to ‘fix’ a man and make his life easier, the plot shows the typical life of a woman after marriage, where society expects her to be the submissive and glorified wife living for anyone but her! Taking the viewers to an Indian kitchen that weighs the ‘wife’ down, we travel through her struggles, pain and redemption in this film.
The sexual desires of a woman that is often succumbed to the patriarchal landscape of the house are powerfully shown through the film. Challenging men-governed traditions in the name of love, respect, and religion, the film has become a controversial topic of debate, marking it as a deeply feministic and convincing story portraying life. And it shows how intolerant the world can become if patriarchy prevails!
9. Kaathal-The Core (Malayalam)
Directed by: Jeo Baby
Release date: 23 November 2023
Where to watch: Amazon Prime Video
From the director of The Great Indian Kitchen, Kaathal-The Core also stands up for equality. Kaathal shows the right way to use stardom to communicate a relevant and political statement through a film.
Starring actors Mamoooty and Jyothika, the film is one of those in Malayalam cinema or even in India that represents homosexuality sensitively yet beautifully without any problematic stereotypes. What is love? What are the different layers of it? Can love be defined with the constraints of society’s conventional book? This film speaks volumes on sensitive topics with a tenderness, creating a phenomenal art to the Indian cinema.
10. All We Imagine As Light (Malayalam)
Directed by: Payal Kapadia
Release date: 22 November 2024 (India)
Where to watch: Theatres
This is a beautiful take on female friendships, love, freedom, and desires set in the crowded lanes of Mumbai city. As the name suggests, the movie sheds light on many lives that we often see around us, the unsaid pain of loneliness, the yearnings to feel loved the right way, and the idea of home away from the hometown. The film is a depiction of the slice-of-life of many lives of people, especially women, living in a different city, their journey in adapting to it and learning from it.
The plot connects the lives of three different women encountering different issues, finally creating their space unintentionally that helps them get clarity on everything happening around them.
This is by no means an exhaustive or representative list. Suggestions to add to this listicle are welcome in the comments section.

(MENAFN- Jordan Times)
AMMAN - The Vocational Training Corporation (VTC), in collaboration with German International Cooperation, launched on Sunday the second phase of its dual vocational training programme in Germany.
This new phase follows the success of the first phase, which included three specialisations: electrical technician/renewable energy, bakery, and electric/hybrid vehicle maintenance, according to the Jordan News Agency, Petra.
The second phase introduces 11 new training programmes aimed at broadening opportunities for young Jordanians, including: general electrician, car maintenance technician, refrigeration technology electrician, metal industries technician, health systems installation and maintenance technician, heating and air conditioning technician, carpenter, audiology technician, optics technician, dental technician, textile cleaning machine operator, baker, and pastry chef/confectioner.
As part of the programme, proficiency in the German language at level A2 is a prerequisite, the VTC said, noting that the preparatory phase includes a five-month German language course up to level B1, delivered by accredited institutions, as well as career guidance sessions to prepare participants for careers in the skilled trades sector to be held in Jordan.
Eligibility criteria for applicants include being a Jordanian citizen aged 18 to 34, holding at least a Grade 11 diploma, having a minimum of A2-level proficiency in German, and committing to a 3.5-year vocational training programme in Germany.
The vocational training phase in Germany offers participants the opportunity to train at accredited vocational centres and gain hands-on experience with German private-sector companies.
The programme follows Germany's renowned vocational training system and provides participants with a monthly stipend of at least 934 euros, health insurance throughout the duration of training, and an annual increase in stipend.
To be eligible for the German phase, applicants must successfully complete the B1-level German language course, pass the necessary language exams, obtain an accredited B1 certificate, and secure a training position with a German company following interviews with employers.
VTC Director-General Ahmad Gharaibeh stressed that the project, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, is designed to provide young Jordanians with vocational training that leads to stable employment.
The programme is part of the Partnerships for Development project on labour migration (PAM), which is implemented by German International Cooperation on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development. It is carried out in partnership with the German Federation of Skilled Trades and the VTC.
For more details and inquiries, the VTC invited interested individuals to contact the VTC's hotline at 0799958106 or to register via

44,000 killed, more than 90 percent displaced in the ongoing conflict—international bodies are scrambling to define the continued violence in Gaza. What is a genocide? Why is it important to call a spade, spade?
Earlier this year, Edem Wosornu, from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, was quoted saying (about Israel’s atrocities), “To be frank, we are running out of words to describe what is happening.” While the revolution might not be televised, violence—as social media has shown us—will be.
Over the past 14 months, the world collectively has been a witness to massive and targeted violence, murder, starvation, disease, and displacement. 14 months later, we are still debating what we shall name it. Self-defence? War Crimes? Apartheid? Ethnic-cleansing? Genocide?
Why is Amnesty’s new report, terming Israel’s continued violence in Gaza as genocide, news? What is indeed in a name?
Genocide: the term, the history
In 1941, a few months after fleeing the Nazi occupation, Raphael Lemkin heard a radio address by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill relaying the violence of World War II: “Scores of thousands—literally scores of thousands—of executions in cold blood are being perpetrated by the German police troops… We are in the presence of a crime without a name.” (Eighty-three years apart and we still seem to be grappling for words.) A lack of linguistic framework and legal recuse inspired Lemkin, who had lost his family to the Holocaust, to coin the term “genocide” in his 1944 book.
There are a few things of note here: First, targeted mass murder was not new, but it was the first time that we had a name to accuse it by. Second, while Lemkin was deeply marked by his own experience of this violence, it was surprisingly an erstwhile massacre that profoundly affected his legal advocacy—the Armenian genocide by the Ottoman Empire during World War I. Thirdly, the radio relay that gave birth to this contentious term was by someone who has been accused of engineering mass murder, Sir Winston Churchill. The last story has two sides, as is always the case—the side of the accuser and the accused. While the more recent post-colonial studies have called the Bengal Famine of 1943 a genocide, voices from the UK have unsurprisingly defended their beloved hero, especially bristling at the usage of the term “genocide.”
Despite Lemkin’s detailed study and work to define the Armenian genocide to create legal frameworks, genocide often remains synonymous and limited to the Holocaust and Nazi genocide in our collective consciousness. It seems especially bound to the horrifying fate of the Jews under occupation, comfortably undermining the Romani deaths. Sixty lakh Jewish people, two point five lakh Romani people (upper estimation being five lakh), and eighteen lakh non-Poles were killed during the Nazi genocide.
Pejoratively termed “Gipsies” and widely discriminated against around the world, the Roma community was incarcerated in numerous camps alongside the Jews. In Auschwitz-Birkenau, they were placed in a special “Gypsy family camp.” The 1948 UN Genocide Convention says that genocide has occurred when any of five prohibited acts are carried out with the intent “to destroy in whole, or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group.” There can be no doubt that the Nazi state committed genocide against the Roma community.
The word genocide is derived from the Greek “genos” (people, tribe, or race) and the Latin “cide” (killing). The world has seen numerous instances of targeted mass murder against races and communities, but the UN Genocide Convention, which Israel ratified in 1950, has legally only recognised three cases—leading to trials—Rwanda in 1994, Bosnia (and the 1995 Srebrenica massacre), and Cambodia under the 1975-9 Pol Pot regime. While we discuss Israel’s genocide in Gaza, there are numerous genocidal states in action as we speak.
Since 2016, Myanmar has been conducting systematic attacks on the Rohingya Muslim minority, causing displacement of nearly ten lakh. Darfur saw mass atrocities against non-Arab civilians and protestors from 2003–2008, leading to more than 4 lakh killed and millions displaced. While the world’s attention is focused on Gaza and Ukraine, Sudan is experiencing a resurgence of violence, prompting the UN to warn of an increasing risk of genocide. To only worsen the accusation against the UN’s historically lacklustre show against genocide, in the few cases they have recognised, the prosecution saw only a few perpetrators actually convicted for their crimes. Over 8 lakh were killed in the 1994 genocide in Rwanda; only 93 were indicted. Ethnic cleansing and mass killings in former Yugoslavia saw 161 indicted. Genocide in Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge regime killed 17 lakh; only two were convicted of genocide. Setting a precedent that would definitely make genocidal criminals around the world shake in their boots!
Calling Israel by its name: Genocidal
Let’s explore the complex world of technical analysis. Would Israel slip through the many loopholes created by a violent world? A question that would naturally come up in the midst of this linguistic confusion—what is not a genocide? Crimes against humanity—like murder, enslavement, deportation, torture, or imprisonment targeting civilians—would not amount to genocide as they target a mixed civilian population without an intent to annihilate a specific group “as such.”
War crimes—deliberately targeting civilians or prisoners of war during armed conflicts—would not amount to genocide, as these violations occur in the context of war and do not necessarily involve group-specific intent to destroy. Ethnic cleansing—forcing a specific ethnic group to leave their territory through violence or coercion—does not amount to genocide either, as strange as that sounds, because the intent is to remove the group and not necessarily to destroy it. Mass killings are not genocidal when they lack the specific intent to eliminate a community. This mind-boggling list of violences that are not genocide is enumerated in Alain Destexhe’s book Rwanda and Genocide in the 20th Century.
Israel has been accused of mass murder, war crimes, crimes against humanity, ethnic cleansing, and yes, genocide. Former IDF soldier and defence minister, Moshe Ya’alon, accused the Israeli military’s actions in northern Gaza of “ethnic cleansing.” A few decades back, the same Ya’alon was quoted saying, “The Palestinian threat harbours cancer-like attributes that have to be severed.”
In May 2024, South Africa took Israel to court for committing genocide against the Palestinians, following Hamas’s 7 October attack. By then, more than 35,800 people had been killed in Gaza by Israeli forces. South Africa accused Israel of indiscriminate force, air strikes, causing serious bodily and mental harm to Palestinians, deliberately inflicting conditions that could lead to the physical destruction of Palestinians as a group, and most importantly, Israeli public rhetoric, including comments from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as evidence of “genocidal intent.” Fourteen countries subsequently expressed intent to join South Africa’s case against Israel in the International Court of Justice (ICJ). A few months before this, the ICJ had said that it was “plausible” that Israel was committing genocide while refraining from calling for a ceasefire.
Warrant, evidence and ceasefire
By November, the International Criminal Court (ICC) had issued arrest warrants for Israel PM Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant for using starvation and deprivation as a method of warfare. Four days after Hamas’ attack on October 7, 2023, Yoav Gallant was the one who had decreed that no food, water, electricity, or fuel would be allowed in the Gaza strip.
The same Gallant, who likened Palestinians to “human animals,” was of the opinion that as part of any ceasefire deal Israel should promote or encourage a new Palestinian faction to control Gaza in a “day after” scenario. A few days before the ICC arrest warrant, Netanyahu fired his defence minister, who believed Israel was “conducting a war without a compass.”
The arrest warrants released by the ICC were advised and backed by Holocaust survivor Theodor Meron, who also oversaw the world’s first genocide trials. Unfortunately, the warrant failed to identify genocide as the motive of the attacks, even as UN experts keep harping that it is important to call a genocide a genocide. The UN Court ordered Israel to prevent genocide early this year while not making any move to demand an immediate stop to the violence.
On October 7 last year, Hamas killed 1,200 people in Israel and took another 251 hostages. Since October 2023, more than 44,000 people in Gaza have been killed and 104,000 injured in the war launched by Israel in Gaza. The line that separates the horror of genocide from the horror of violence in general seems to be the specificity of the target—the motive to obliterate a particular community.
Amnesty International’s 297-page report “You Feel Like You Are a Subhuman,” Israel’s Genocide Against Palestinians in Gaza, analysed 62 pieces of media, including videos, audio recordings, and photographs, which showed Israeli soldiers making calls for the destruction of Gaza or the denial of essential services to people in Gaza, or celebrating the destruction of Palestinian homes, mosques, schools, and universities. “Of these, 31 called orally or in writing for the annihilation, destruction, burning, or “erasure” of Gaza, or used other similar rhetoric.”
In a similar investigation, the Washington Post revealed an array of such evidence. One soldier was quoted saying, “I took these videos to raise the morale of the people at home, and I don’t regret it for a moment.” After Amnesty International’s detailed report that not only lists accusations of indiscriminate aerial and ground attacks, calculated physical destruction, and engineering the hunger crisis but also fleshes out Israel’s specific intent to destroy, Israel unsurprisingly took to the most credible platforms online—X (formerly Twitter). Israel’s Foreign Ministry stated, “The deplorable and fanatical organisation Amnesty International has once again produced a fabricated report that is entirely false and based on lies.”
On 9th December, at UN’s 77th Genocide Prevention event, activists interrupted speakers, asking why, despite an ongoing genocide in Gaza. While people in power fight over the technicalities of the gruesome violence, the number of victims continues to escalate in Gaza. Beyond the death count and number of injured diseases are spreading in Gaza as sewage contaminates camps and coast.
WHO has reported 96,417 cases of scabies and lice since the start of the war, 9,274 cases of chickenpox, 60,130 cases of skin rashes, and 10,038 impetigo cases. The first in 25 years, a polio case was confirmed in October, causing major concern. 1 in 3 children under 2 years of age are today acutely malnourished in the north of Gaza. Over 1.8 million Palestinians in Gaza are facing severe hunger, with 70 percent of crop fields destroyed. There is only one demand that rises from this unmitigated display of genocidal violence: immediate and unconditional ceasefire.
Recently, the United Nations General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to demand an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. From the 193-member assembly, 158 voted in favour—including India, nine against it—including Israel and its biggest enabler, the USA, and 13 abstained. The word “genocide” will be of utmost importance in the post-ceasefire period, when the world that had to bear the images of blood and tears can also witness a public trial of the genocidal criminals. One can hope Meron gets to preside over the hearings, for poetic justice.

In a social media post, Tamang said that the Sikkim government has been unwavering in its advocacy for their inclusion.
“A landmark resolution passed by the Sikkim Legislative Assembly in January 2021, along with sustained engagements with national policymakers, including the Hon’ble Prime Minister and Home Minister, underscores our dedicated commitment. Encouraging responses have given us confidence that this rightful recognition is within reach,” he added.

The chief minister said that as Sikkim’s 50th statehood anniversary approaches next year, addressing the decades-old demand is paramount to achieving true inclusivity and equity.
“Despite their pivotal contributions to Sikkim’s identity, these communities have been deprived of Scheduled Tribe recognition since 1979,” he added.
Tamang said that the High-Level Committee, formed under the chairmanship of BV Sharma, has a critical mandate to deliver a comprehensive ethnographical report and actionable recommendations within three months.
“The Sikkim government pledges its full support to ensure this mission’s success,” he added.

Following the political unrest in Bangladesh after the ouster of Sheikh Hasina in August 2024, and the arrest of a Hindu monk, Chinmoy Krishna Das, in November; a wave of anti-Bangladeshi sentiment is taking over the eastern states of India, namely West Bengal, Tripura, and Assam. While positioned as a stance against the persecution of religious minorities, the anti-Bangladeshi wave in these states is steeped in Hindutva rhetoric, and when we take into account India’s own track record with its minorities, a contradiction of mammoth proportions emerges.
A hospital in West Bengal and some physicians across the state have refused to treat Bangladeshi patients after a video of the Indian flag placed on the ground at the entrance of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) in Dhaka emerged online (which AltNews verified to be true). J N Ray Hospital in Kolkata announced its decision to bar Bangladeshi nationals from seeking treatment at their facility on November 30, and a hospital official urged other hospitals to do so as well.
The hospital’s decision came days after a prominent Kolkata-based physician announced on social media that he would stop treating Bangladeshi patients for the moment in response to the BUET University incident. Suvendu Adhikari, Leader of Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly, lauding the physician said, ‘I request the entire Indian medical community, businessmen and India lovers to boycott Bangladesh completely.’
Another doctor, an ENT specialist, in Siliguri, placed the Indian flag outside the entrance of his private practice with a message that asked patients, especially Bangladeshi patients, to offer pranam (salutations) to the flag or they wouldn’t be allowed to enter. The Kolkata hospital’s decision to bar Bangladeshi patients was followed by a hospital in Tripura doing so as well.
The decision to stop serving Bangladeshis snowballed, even affecting the service industry. The All Tripura Hotel and Restaurant Owners’ Association announced that Bangladeshi citizens wouldn’t be allowed to stay in hotels across the state starting December 2. Days later, hotels in three districts in Assam’s Barak Valley also decided to institute such a ban until attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh stopped. Hotels in West Bengal’s Malda also made a similar decision – Bangladeshi nationals will be barred from staying in hotels across the city unless they obtain permission from the administration or police.
Restrictions placed in August after the unrest in Bangladesh have led to fewer visas being processed, mainly only student visas and visas for those who require urgent medical care are being issued. This, along with travel restrictions, already posed challenges for Bangladeshis seeking medical care in India. However, such arbitrary bans by hospitals, medical staff, and the service sector will only exacerbate a bad situation.
India is a popular destination for Bangladeshis seeking medical care. An August 2024 report found that Bangladeshis account for 50-60 per cent of India’s medical tourism inflow. While the report predicted a 10-15 per cent reduction in footfall due to the unrest in Bangladesh and tensions between the countries, it predicted the numbers would climb back up by the end of the year. But this doesn’t seem to be the case as per stakeholders who spoke to Scroll.
These bans are not only ethically dubious but are also legally questionable. The bans instituted in West Bengal go against the West Bengal Clinical Establishment (Registration, Regulation, and Transparency) Act, 2017, whose provisions explicitly state that ‘no person shall be subject to any discrimination in any form or manner, by the clinical establishment in access to facilities, goods, care and services including admission, on any of the grounds of nationality……’
The Charter of Patients’ Rights and Responsibilities, proposed by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) for adoption by states, also bars discrimination based on ‘religion, ethnicity, linguistic or geographical/social origins‘ among other things. Penalising civilians for the political unrest in their country, something they have no control over, does nothing to protect minorities in Bangladesh. Except it only hurts individuals who rely on the Indian healthcare sector, especially those who cannot afford to seek decent medical care in any other country due to prohibitively high costs of medical care, as well as the associated costs of travel and accommodation.
Such arbitrary bans are also a slippery slope. If medical professionals and public establishments are allowed to refuse services to Bangladeshis based on their identity, they can also choose to discriminate against fellow Indians based on social identity. Settling a precedent where refusal of services due to the identities of patients/customers or perceived harm caused by other members who are part of the same social group is normalised will spell disaster for India’s marginalised communities that can be subjected to such discrimination with impunity in the future.
Hindutva’s selective concern for minorities
Another important aspect that must be considered is the political and ideological motives underpinning the championing of minority rights in Bangladesh, especially by Hindutva outfits and proponents. In states across India where protests have taken place over the treatment of minorities in Bangladesh and the arrest of Chinmoy Das, Hindutva outfits have often been at the forefront.
According to The Indian Express, a Hindutva outfit was involved in the security breach at the Assistant High Commission of Bangladesh in Agartala. The outfit was identified as Hindu Sangharsh Samiti, a group formed after Das’s arrest for ‘uniting the masses‘ to resist atrocities against Hindus. The leader of the group described the outfit as ‘an umbrella organisation of Hindutva groups‘ to The Indian Express and claimed similar such organisations were formed in every district of the country in the past weeks.
Minority rights have long been a Hindutva talking point, but only when the persecuted minorities are Hindu and the countries in which they face persecution are Muslim-majority countries. Hindutva handwringing over minority rights is motivated by political and ideological agendas rather than rooted in any real concern for the persecution minorities face in South Asia. Hindutva’s list of persecuted minorities is limited to Hindus in Pakistan and Bangladesh because this helps to reinforce its narrative back home of India’s Hindu majority being persecuted and threatened by its Muslim population. Hindutva routinely weaponises minority concerns to fuel Islamophobia.
Rights of minorities in other neighbouring countries like the Uyghurs in China, Rohingyas in Myanmar, Ahmadiyyas of Pakistan, or Sri Lankan Tamils don’t find any mention or similar popular or institutional support. In fact, Rohingya refugees in India are routinely subjected to hate speech, detainments, and the looming prospect of refoulement.
In July 2024, the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) called on India to end the arbitrary detention of Rohingya refugees, forcible deportations, and racial discrimination against them. As recently as May 2024, Manipur deported 77 Rohingya refugees, which a legal advisor to the International Commission of Jurists noted violates principles of non-refoulement.
Even the Citizenship (Amendment) Act of 2019, discriminates based on the religion of minorities and the majority religion of the countries from which they are fleeing persecution. The Act paves the way for accelerated citizenship for Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, Sikh, Parsi, and Christian minorities from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan fleeing persecution, who came to India before 2015.
Hindu minorities, such as Sri Lankan Tamils who faced persecution in predominantly Buddhist Sri Lanka, are also left out of the ambit of the amended citizenship law. Right-wing concerns over minority rights and persecution fall flat in the face of these contradictions. Popular and institutional responses to the ongoing Palestinian genocide further illustrate this discrepancy.
Hindutva proponents and organisations, and even the Indian government, have taken a pro-Israeli position, in a stark departure from India’s decades-long pro-Palestinian stance. The disregard for the persecution faced by Palestinians, while championing the rights of the persecuted in Bangladesh, betrays the thinly veiled ideological agendas that inform these responses.
The state of Indian minorities
India also has no leg to stand on when it comes to the plight of minorities. While expressing concerns over the precarious situation of minorities in Bangladesh, we would do well to look inward as well. In 2023, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Minority Issues told the United States Commission for International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) ‘India risks becoming one of the world’s main generators of instability, atrocities and violence, because of the massive scale and gravity of the violations and abuses targeting mainly religious and other minorities such as Muslims, Christians, Sikhs and others. It is not just individual or local, it is systematic and a reflection of religious nationalism.’
Even the outrage over Chinmoy Krishna Das’ arrest in Bangladesh on charges of sedition is risible when minorities in India languish in prison under similar draconian laws. Following Das’ arrest, India’s External Affairs Ministry released a statement that expressed ‘deep concern‘ over his arrest. But in India, the likes of Umar Khalid, Gulfisha Fatima, Sharjeel Imam, and Stan Swamy (who died in state custody in 2021), among many others, have spent years in prison without a trial or being granted bail.
Data released by the Home Ministry in the Rajya Sabha in 2022 showed that of the 24,134 individuals charged with UAPA between 2016 and 2020, only 212 have been convicted. A staggering 97.5 per cent of accused have spent years in prison awaiting trial or bail.
Standing by Bangladeshi minorities while ignoring threats to minorities in India and the numerous social, political, and institutional injustices they face is unconscionable. Persecution faced by minorities should be called out and countries should take a stance against such human rights violations.
Calls in India by the public to end the persecution of minorities in Bangladesh are justified and necessary but only if this is rooted in an actual desire to protect minorities and not in furthering Hindutva’s divisive communal rhetoric and fearmongering in India. And when we, as Indians, champion minority rights in South Asia, we must first begin with India’s minorities.

On December 6, 2024, protesting farmers from Punjab were stopped at the Shambhu border and not allowed to reach Delhi. They were met at the Haryana border with police barricades, tear gas, and brutal force. The ‘Dilli Chalo’ march started a few days ago and has faced obstacles from the police ever since. At the Shambhu border in Haryana, police used tear gas to try and stop the farmers from continuing their journey towards the national capital. They also suspended mobile internet services along the path to prevent protesters from communicating.
There have been claims of police brutally using tear gas pellets not only to deflect but also to hurt the farmers. Farmer leader from Punjab, Sarwan Singh Pandher, asserts that police pellets critically injured at least eight farmers, and one of them was rushed to the Post-Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) in Chandigarh.
Dilli Chalo march suspended
As a result of the brutal force, the farmer leaders suspended the foot march to Delhi on Sunday afternoon. Pandher adds, “We have called back the jatha (group of 101 farmers).” The group of farmers, labelled as marjeevras (someone willing to die for a cause), was marching for a legal guarantee for Minimum Support Price and were willing to be heard in Delhi when they were stopped by Haryana security personnel a few meters away.
The march was an extension of the farmer’s protest; it was designed to grab attention and speak about their rights directly to the power so they were heard. “The farmers are protesting for better prices for their crops, debt relief, and the repeal of certain farm laws they believe are harmful to them – today’s march is a part of their ongoing struggle to get the government’s attention,” reports News 24.
The police’s forceful tactics to drive the farmers away have only bolstered their determination to persevere and carry on with the march. Despite the tear gas, the protesters are committed to making themselves heard in the capital. The ‘Dilli Chalo‘ march is an effort to bring the farmers’ issues directly to the government in Delhi.
Tense situation at the border
The situation at the border remains tense after the Sunday afternoon clash between police and the protesters as both continue to hold their positions. While the protesters are firm on their demand, the government has yet to announce any plans to meet with them.
The farmers’ protest has aged; it has been almost 10 months since they protested in their state and seven days since the protest reached the borders of Delhi. While the government has shown no interest in having a dialogue with the protesters, their representatives continue to malign the protest.
“It has been 305 days since Delhi Andolan 2.0 started and seven days since the ‘Amar Anshan.’ The ministers are making irresponsible comments,” said Pandher in an interview with ANI.
Identity of Farmer Protesters
The Delhi march is a part of a call given by farmer unions Samyukta Kisan Morcha (non-political) and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha. “The Haryana police asked the farmers not to proceed further. They cited a prohibitory order clamped by the Ambala administration under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) that bans unlawful assembly of five or more people in the district,” says PTI.
The police state that the number of protesters in the march is overwhelming and doesn’t comply with the permission granted for the jatha, i.e., 101 farmers. The protesters at the site have complained of police officials demanding identity proof to tally the counts of jatha members and rogue protesters.
The right to protest
Farmer’s protest in Delhi precedes the government’s obliging to the demands made by farmers. In November 2020, farmers from all over India, centred in the capital, protested the three farm laws and demanded a right to MSP (Minimum Support Price). After more than a year of rigorous protests in heat, cold, or rain, the protesters won, and the government was forced to repeal the three farm laws.
The victory of farmers’ protests established a renewed faith in the democratic right to protest. It almost seemed possible that the people of a democratic nation could protest laws that do not suit them or that they do not agree with. But this defeat did not sit well with the party in power. Since then, any mention of a protest has been met with brutal hegemonic force to shut it down and scatter the demonstrators.
To satisfy the egoistic need of a patriarch, many democratic voices have either been silenced through brute force or systematic hegemony like raids or prisons. The hierarchy of authoritarian democracy has evidently no space for protests to prosper.
“We want the government to let us exercise our democratic right to protest,” said Pandher while explaining how the protest and the march were eventually a result of unheard demands. “In February, we held four rounds of talks with the government, but since then, there have been no further discussions on our demands.”
The demands of farmers that have not been met
In addition to the Minimum Support Price for their crops and timely delivery of the government’s promised guarantees, the farmers are seeking a 10 percent allocation of plots and a 64.7 percent hike in compensation under the previous land acquisition law, equivalent to four times the market rate. For land acquired after January 1, 2014, they are asking for 20 percent of the plots.
In addition to the relaxation in existing land rates and revised land allocation rates, the farmers’ demands include employment and rehabilitation benefits for the children of landless farmers, implementation of directives issued by the High-Power Committee, and proper arrangements for resettling inhabited areas.
In a nation such as India, where agriculture sustains two-thirds of the country’s 1.4 billion people and contributes nearly a fifth of its GDP, farmers encounter indifference and brutality. There is a lack of a justifiable representation for farmers in India, where their demands are discussed and solutions are provided.
They are not provided platforms to voice their opinions or seek reforms for their current situation. While some people view these protests with suspicion, and the government tries to shut them down any chance they get, where must the farmers communicate their demands?
In 2020, the protest underwent such brutal media trials that the farmers had to employ their own media channels. They would document and record every atrocity and their lives in general at the protest site. The ignorant view of the government leaves them unheard. In a democracy where people must reign supreme, they are subjected to barricades and tear gas when they set out to resist and protest the laws mindlessly passed by the government.
If there is one thing the government is undermining through its power tactics, it is the resilience of the farmers and their zeal to fight for their cause. After the Sunday fiasco, the protest garnered support from other organisations and leaders like Tikait, who supported the farmer protest and its cause.
With the Bharatiya Kisan Union’s backing, the protest has grown more substantial, and prominent leaders like Lakhowal and Ratanman have joined the growing agitation. One would hope that after the 2020 protest, the government would understand how force could not be solely used to discredit and deter protests. The barricades and tear gas have only reinforced the idea of justice, making the farmer’s resolve more strong to fight for their cause and win the battle of injustice.

(MENAFN- Jordan Times)
AMMAN - Gaza Sky Geeks, a programme of the international organisation Mercy Corps, has formed a strategic partnership with Edraak, the non-profit educational initiative of the Queen Rania Foundation for Education and Development, aimed at equipping Palestinian youth with essential digital skills to thrive for today's job market.
Announced on Sunday by Edraak, the collaboration combines the expertise and networks of both organisations to offer new opportunities for young Palestinians, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
Established in collaboration with google for Startups, Gaza Sky Geeks has been a leader in training Palestinian youth in programming and digital skills in the West Bank and Gaza Strip for nearly a decade, preparing them for the demands of the rapidly evolving digital economy.
Chairman of Edraak's Board of Directors Bassem Saad highlighted the significance of this collaboration in advancing the platform's mission to provide accessible, high-quality and free online education.
He emphasised that Edraak's core vision is to create long-lasting, positive change in Arab communities by empowering youth through continuous learning opportunities.
Saad added that the partnership with Gaza Sky Geeks is a key step in helping Palestinian youth overcome economic challenges and position themselves better in the global workforce.
He highlighted that this initiative comes at a critical time for Gaza's youth, many of whom have faced educational disruption due to more than 15 months of instability.
The collaboration seeks to deliver specialised training programmes tailored to the specific needs of young people in Gaza, supporting them in navigating current challenges while providing access to advanced education and professional opportunities.
Executive Director of Gaza Sky Geeks Alan Kadhi acknowledged the urgency of forming both local and international partnerships, particularly in light of the ongoing hardships in the region, including the recent war in Gaza and escalating violence in the West Bank.
He underlined that expanding the programme's reach and opening up new opportunities for Palestinian businesses and youth is essential to overcoming these challenges and unlocking new economic prospects.
The collaboration also aims to boost ties between Palestinian and Jordanian institutions in the fields of economic and technological empowerment.
Both sides share the belief that technology is a powerful enabler of economic growth, particularly through remote work opportunities, and that empowering young people with the necessary skills is crucial for long-term economic resilience.
In 2023, Gaza Sky Geeks trained over 3,000 graduates and more than 7,000 trainees in Gaza, but the organisation's activities were suspended following the escalation of war in the Strip in October of the previous year.

How Ronit Roy Got In Shape To Face Aksha
Ronit Roy plays the main villain against Akshay Kumar in Boss.
Ronit Roy has already grabbed a lot of eyeballs with his toned body, in his bad-ass Cop avatar, in the promos of 'Boss'.
Ronit is seen in multiple action sequences with Akki; and for this Ronit had to follow a strict diet and an exercise regimen for close to a year to get into shape.
The 47-year-old star, explained that it was a great experience working with the Khiladi Kumar.
"We had an extended schedule in Bangkok where most of the action scenes were shot in tough weather condition, but it was all worth the results we can see now."

(MENAFN- IANS) Mumbai, Dec 16 (IANS) The Indian stock market opened in red on Monday as selling was seen in Nifty's auto, IT, PSU Bank, pharma and metal sectors.
At around 9:32 am, Sensex was trading at 81,876.95 after declining 256.17 points or 0.31 per cent, while the Nifty was trading at 24,705.60 after dropping 62.70 points or 0.25 per cent.
The market trend remained positive. On the National stock exchange (NSE), 1,170 Stocks were trading in green, while 571 stocks were in red.
Akshay Chinchalkar of Axis Securities said that Friday's highly volatile session saw the Nifty slump during the early part of the session,“but the day's low occurred exactly at the falling neckline of the bullish head-and-shoulders pattern which was activated on December 3 with an upside objective of 25,500."
This objective remains valid as long as the market stays above 23,873, but more critical support now is the Friday low of 24,180, he added.
Nifty Bank was down 168 points or 0.31 per cent at 53,415.80. Nifty Midcap 100 index was trading at 59,234.85 after rising 243.30 points or 0.41 per cent. Nifty Smallcap 100 index was at 19,515.40 after rising 108.10 points or 0.56 per cent.
According to market experts, the huge positions in F&O segments are causing such heightened volatility in the market. The 500 point move in the nifty from the day's trough to the peak indicates massive short covering.
In the Sensex pack, NTPC, JSW Steel, M&M, Titan, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Infosys, TCS, Hindustan Unilever Limited, Axis Bank and Tech Mahindra were the top losers. Tata Steel, UltraTech Cement, L&T, ITC, Tata Motors, IndusInd Bank and HCL Tech were the top gainers.
In the Asian markets, except China, the markets of Hong Kong, Bangkok, Seoul, Jakarta and Japan were trading in red.
In US stock markets the Nasdaq Composite ended 0.12 per cent higher and Dow Jones Industrial Average ended 0.20 per cent down on the previous trading session.
Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) bought equities worth Rs 2,335.32 crore on December 13, while domestic institutional investors sold equities worth Rs 732.20 crore on the same day.

Who Is The Best Screen-Gandhi?
Mahatma Gandhi has had many screen avatars. Here are the best five portrayals, as per my ratings. Do you agree?
__START__Rajit Kapoor in The Making of the Mahatma (1996)
In this bilingual biography by Shyam Benegal, the versatile actor Rajit Kapoor slipped into Mahatma Gandhi's dhoti, and did what he was expected to do – the best! Its English version was titled The Making of the Mahatma, whereas for the Hindi viewers, the film was named Gandhi Se Mahatma Tak. The film superbly exhibited the evolution of Gandhi from being a barrister in South Africa to being venerated as the Mahatma.
__PAGEBREAK__
__START__Naseeruddin Shah in Hey Ram (2000)
While Mohan Gokhale was to do the Gandhi act for this Kamal Hassan film, but his untimely demise put the huge responsibility on Naseeruddin Shah's shoulders. As expected, the gifted actor pulled off the show and certainly earned his spurs yet again, as a screen-Gandhi. He was excellent as far as getting the Mahatma's body language and Gujarati accent right. Hey Ram largely depicted how Gandhi influenced a common man's life – Hassan played that common man in the film.
__PAGEBREAK__
__START__Darshan Zariwala in Gandhi, My Father (2007)
In this Anil Kapoor production, the focus was on Mahatma Gandhi's personal life. Gandhi, My Father was a biography on Harilal Gandhi – Bapu's son. The critically acclaimed film underlined the strained relationship shared by the father and the son. While Akshaye Khanna brilliantly played Harilal, Darshan Zariwala was outstanding as Gandhi.
__PAGEBREAK__
__START__Dilip Prabhavalkar in Lagey Raho Munna Bhai (2006)
In this comedy, Mahatma Gandhi was seen in an entertaining light. Undoubtedly, this screen-Gandhi has become one of the most admired and popular portrayals of the Mahatma, in recent times. Dilip Prabhavalkar was first-rate in his acting for this film, which didn't talk about Gandhi's fight for India's freedom – rather, it had a modern backdrop with Gandhi's teachings changing the protagonist's life for good. The film also highlighted the concept of Gandhi-giri that became an instant rage amongst the young generation post its release.
__PAGEBREAK__
__START__Ben Kingsley in Gandhi (1982)
The best biographical take on the great national figure, Mahatma Gandhi, was portrayed by Ben Kingsley in the 1982 blockbuster, Gandhi. Underscoring the trials and tribulations Gandhi had to submit himself to, in a chase to fight for freedom, the film went on to win many honorable awards along with Oscars. The film surely warmed the cockles of the audiences' hearts.

(MENAFN- IANS) Seoul/New Delhi, Dec 16 (IANS) Hyundai AutoEver, the information technology affiliate of Hyundai Motor Group, said on Monday it has established a joint venture in Indonesia to develop navigation maps for the Southeast Asian country and many others in the region.
The new firm, named Terra LINK Technologies, has been jointly established with India's MapmyIndia, according to the South Korean company.
The joint venture will focus on developing high-quality automotive navigation maps for Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore, reports Yonhap news agency.
Hyundai AutoEver said Southeast Asia is experiencing rapid economic growth accompanied by a sharp rise in vehicle demand, which is driving increased demand for in-vehicle navigation systems.

"We aim to build high-quality automotive maps to deliver a differentiated experience to consumers and support global automakers in enhancing their competitiveness in the field of navigation," Seo Dong-kwon, head of the navigation business division at Hyundai AutoEver, said.
MapmyIndia is India's leading deep-tech digital map data, geospatial software and location-based IoT products, platforms, solutions and APIs company, offering proprietary digital maps as a service, software as a service and platform as a service.
Last month, MapMyIndia announced that its CEO and whole-time director, Rohan Verma, will step down to launch his own consumer business.
“To fulfil his long cherished desire to build a consumer business Rohan Verma, CEO and Executive Director of Mapmyindia proposed to the board to fund a new venture outside the company,” Rakesh Verma, Co-founder and CMD, MapmyIndia, had said in a statement.
MapmyIndia reported a 13.82 per cent year-on-year jump in revenue from operations to Rs 103.67 crore in Q2 FY25. However, the company also registered an 8.2 per cent drop in consolidated net profit to ₹30.33 crore in Q2 FY25, compared to Rs. 33.04 crore in Q2 FY24.

India is slated to be the country with the world&rsquos highest dengu burden with about 34 per cent of all cases occurring here.
The number of death due to dengue has increased considerable over a period of two months. Expert suggests that the mosquito borne viral disease is causing health scare in the country. In such a scenario, prevention and early detection of dengue is the only solution.
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), the incidence of dengue has risen by 30 fold in the past 50 years. It is estimated that globally there will be 50-100 million dengue cases annually in the coming decade. India is slated to be the country with the world’s highest dengue burden, with about 34 per cent of all cases occurring here.
We give you twelve ways w to prevent and fight dengue effectively:
Inform your local municipal committee to disinfect your area with insecticide.
The basic step is to empty out flower pots to avoid breeding of mosquitoes.
Clear out leaves and stagnant water in your area, it is a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
Clearing stagnant water from coolers is also important.
If you have any open manhole, gutters or drains it is important to cover these openings.
Use mosquito repellents and mosquito nets.
Do not wear short sleeves and shorts during the monsoons. Use mosquito repellant creams or nets at home. Ensure there is no source of mosquito breeding in and around your home or work place.
Look out for sudden high grade fever, accompanied by nausea, body ache and stomach pain. Go to the doctor immediately and get your blood tested.
Drink plenty of fluids.
According to experts, in the first five days all dengue tests may be negative. Do not give aspirin in the suspected case of dengue as it can further disturb the platelet functions. The period of maximum risk for shock is between the third and seventh day of illness. This tends to coincide with resolution of fever.
Take complete rest.
In case you are vomiting, experience dizziness or feel sick get hospitalised. In some cases blood transfusions may be needed.

Diabetes Prevention: Self-Help Is The Best Way To Combat Diabetes
The International Diabetes Federation and Public Health Foundation of India joined hands to announce their first health initiative in India ie KiDS Kids and Diabetes in School. This project aims to encourage safe and supportive school environment to manage the diabetes and avoid discrimination.
The International Diabetes Federation and Public Health Foundation of India, joined hands to announce their first health initiative in India i.e. KiDS (Kids and Diabetes in School). This project aims to encourage safe and supportive school environment to manage the diabetes and avoid discrimination. This program aims to spread awareness about type 1 and type 2 diabetes in respect to the growing number of diabetes cases in India.
In India, diabetes is a major health problem and with the number of cases detected every day, it ranks at number 2 globally, according to IDF. So far, type 2 diabetes received enough intervention, even though the number of cases of type 1 diabetes is 1 out of 5 children in the world would be Indian.
If type 1 diabetes is not detected and diagnosed, it could pose a grave challenge for children and families, who need adequate knowledge and resources for effective management of the condition.
Thus, the best way to prevent the problem caused by diabetes is by educating teachers and parents. Schools are ideal to raise awareness and train students, teachers and parents about Type 1 diabetes. Thus, the idea of KiDS would help parents manage and guide kids with diabetes. It will also help in lowering down the prevalence of obesity, which is another cause of diabetes.
Dr. K Srinath Reddy, President of PHFI says, ‘there are no structured training programs, plan or activity, implemented in the school so far, which is the reason why type 1 diabetes is grave and intense. Thus, managing diabetes is a serious problem.’
He further adds, ‘type 1 diabetes is a challenge especially for school-going children who have to cope with the disease and also face stigma associated with it.’
Kids are required to follow a structured self-management plan including lifelong insulin use and blood glucose monitoring, physical activity and a healthy diet. Thus, self-help and learning is the best help one can give to Type 1 diabetes patients.

(MENAFN- Jordan Times)
Climate change's influence on the spread of diseases extends beyond malaria, affecting a wide range of vector-borne illnesses such as dengue fever, Lyme disease, Zika virus and chikungunya. These diseases, which rely on vectors like mosquitoes, ticks and flies, are highly sensitive to environmental conditions, particularly temperature, precipitation, and humidity.
Dengue fever, transmitted by the Aedes mosquito, is another vector-borne disease that has seen changes in its transmission dynamics due to climate change. Warmer temperatures and increased precipitation provide ideal breeding conditions for Aedes mosquitoes, which thrive in warm, humid environments. As global temperatures rise, the range of Aedes mosquitoes is expanding, resulting in the spread of dengue to new regions, including areas at higher altitudes and latitudes. For instance, dengue is now being reported in regions of South America and Southeast Asia that were previously unaffected. In the Andes, rising temperatures are allowing Aedes mosquitoes to survive at higher elevations, increasing the risk of dengue outbreaks in populations that are unprepared to deal with the disease.
The increased rainfall associated with climate change also contributes to the proliferation of dengue by creating more standing water, which serves as breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Urban areas, particularly those with poor sanitation and water management systems, are especially vulnerable, as stagnant water in containers, tires, and other urban debris provides ideal breeding conditions. This makes urban populations in tropical regions particularly susceptible to dengue outbreaks. Like malaria, dengue disproportionately affects low-income communities where access to healthcare and vector control measures is limited.
Another example of climate change influencing vector-borne disease transmission is the Zika virus, which is also spread by Aedes mosquitoes. The virus gained global attention during the 2015-2016 outbreak in Latin America, particularly due to its association with severe birth defects, such as microcephaly, in newborns. Zika transmission is highly sensitive to climate factors, with warmer temperatures speeding up the viral replication cycle within mosquitoes and increasing the rate of transmission. As with dengue, climate change has expanded the geographical range of Zika, posing a threat to regions previously considered low-risk.
Chikungunya is another mosquito-borne disease that has seen an increase in outbreaks due to climate change and its transmission is highly influenced by temperature and rainfall patterns. Warmer temperatures can increase the development rate of the virus within mosquitoes, leading to higher transmission rates. Regions that were once too cool for Aedes mosquitoes to survive are now experiencing outbreaks of chikungunya, with cases reported in Europe, the Americas, and Asia. The spread of chikungunya, along with other emerging diseases like West Nile virus and Rift Valley fever, highlights the ongoing risk posed by climate change to global public health.
The spread of vector-borne diseases due to climate change puts immense pressure on healthcare systems, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where resources are already limited. These regions often lack the infrastructure and healthcare personnel needed to deal with increasing disease burdens. The expansion of diseases like malaria, dengue, and Zika exacerbates existing challenges, such as inadequate healthcare access, poor sanitation, and limited funding for disease control programs. Vulnerable populations, including children, pregnant women, and the elderly, face heightened health risks, and the demand for medical services outstrips available resources.
In addition to mosquitoes, ticks, which transmit diseases like Lyme disease, are also affected by climate change. Warmer temperatures have extended the active season for ticks and allowed them to thrive in new areas, such as the northern United States and parts of Canada and Europe. Lyme disease is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected black-legged ticks. As the climate warms, ticks are moving into higher latitudes and altitudes, where cooler temperatures previously limited their survival and reproduction.
In the United States, the spread of Lyme disease has expanded into northern states, and the disease has become more prevalent in areas where it was once rare. This poses a significant public health challenge, as early detection and treatment are crucial to preventing serious long-term complications from Lyme disease, such as neurological and cardiac issues. There is a need for protective measures, such as using insect repellent and wearing long sleeves when in tick-prone areas.
To combat the growing threat of vector-borne diseases, public health initiatives are focusing on adaptive strategies. For malaria control, for instance, initiatives like the distribution of insecticide-treated bed nets, indoor residual spraying, and the development of malaria vaccines have proven effective. Additionally, there is a push for community-based education programs to raise awareness about the importance of eliminating mosquito breeding sites and promoting personal protective measures.
In regions affected by dengue, Zika, and chikungunya, vector control programs are being enhanced to reduce mosquito populations through the use of biological control agents, such as bacteria that inhibit mosquito reproduction, and the introduction of genetically modified mosquitoes. Moreover, early detection and rapid response systems are critical in minimizing the impact of disease outbreaks.

Checking by ovulation kit, recording body temperature or checking the level of progesterone is done to determine this. They perform multiple rounds of ultrasound tests as well. If the ovulation is not normal, then drugs are prescribed to stimulate the ovulation. In case ovulation appears to be normal, then experts check the other possibilities of antibodies responsible for destroying sperms before the fertilization or obstacles in the fallopian tube. The treatment normally involves medication, microsurgery or a combination of both.

Osteoporosis: Vertebral Compression Fractures, Causes And Treatments
1 in 2 women and 1 in 4 men over 50 will experience osteoporotic fractures. Osteoporosis is a silent disease with no symptoms and is diagnosed only after a spinal fracture VCF or a hip fracture Such fractures can occur with minimal or trivial accidents or falls. Vertebral Augmentation also known as Kyphoplasty / Vertebroplasty is done in addition to treating the primary cause for osteop orosis.
The International Osteoporosis Foundation findings suggest that “One spinal fracture occurs every 22 seconds worldwide” and “83 per cent of all spinal fractures occur due to Osteoporosis.” It is a systemic disease, which results in bone loss, leaves gaps in the bone material and makes them fragile and prone to breakage, with even a minor fall. With widespread deficiency of Vitamin D and calcium among Indians, it is not surprising that India is expected to be home to over 36 million osteoporotic patients by 2013.
1 in 2 women and 1 in 4 men over 50 will experience osteoporotic fractures. Osteoporosis is a silent disease with no symptoms and is diagnosed only after a spinal fracture (VCF) or a hip fracture. Such fractures can occur with minimal or trivial accidents or falls.
In a study of 4 mid-western health systems less than 25% of hip fracture patients got BMD testing, less than 25% were given calcium and vitamin D supplements and less than 10 per cent were treated with medication for osteoporosis.
For spinal fracture patients, the main symptom of a VCF is back pain. In the elderly, back pain is attributed largely to age and disregarded until the problem becomes severe. Though pain from a single VCF might get resolved over a period of time, it hides the underlying condition of Osteoporosis, which if not diagnosed can result in more damage to the spine and the hips over time.
Prevention of Osteoporosis involves following a proper nutritious diet, ensuring adequate calcium intake, avoiding severe weight-loss diets, maintaining an adequate supply of vitamin D, avoiding smoking including second-hand smoke and avoiding heavy drinking.
Regular screening after the age of 50 years could help keep the disease under control if diagnosed and treated.
The following could indicate a VCF and a doctor should be consulted:
• Sudden back pain after a fall
• Back pain continuing over a significant period of about 6 to 12 weeks
• Back pain that increases when sitting, standing or walking
• Loss of height
• Stooped back, curved towards the front of the body
If you are over 50 years, are a post-menopausal woman or if you are on steroid treatment and a spine fracture is diagnosed, your physician would evaluate you for osteoporosis.
Traditional treatment of VCFs includes bed rest, pain killers and braces. However, this may fail to relieve pain, does not provide long-term functional improvement, may exacerbate bone loss and does not attempt to restore the anatomy, which results in a deformity of the spine.
These days Vertebral Augmentation (also known as Kyphoplasty / Vertebroplasty) is done in addition to treating the primary cause for osteoporosis for patients of VCF (Vertebral Compression Fractures). The main advantages are that the procedure is minimally invasive; it is proven to significantly relieve pain, increase mobility and improve the quality of life without surgery. The procedure has a low complication rate , it can be done as an outpatient basis and usually requires only a local anesthetic and mild sedation. In some instances, general anesthesia is advised with a minimal hospital stay .
Vertebral Augmentation is performed by specialists, including orthopedic surgeons, interventional neuroradiologist, spine surgeons and pain management physicians. During the procedure, one or two balloons used to create a void or cavity in the collapsed vertebra into which an injected material-either bone cement or Cortoss bone augmentation material-is introduced. The hardened cement creates an internal cast that stabilizes the fracture, thereby alleviating pain in approximately 90 per cent of patients.
This technique (Kyphoplasty)may prevent propagation of further fractures by reducing the collapsed vertebral bodies towards its native height, normalising the sagittal spinal alignment and the force transmission along the spine and also minimises the cement leakage by compacting the cancellous bone to the periphery, sealing of fracture clefts and creating a cavity into which cement is poured.
Finally the crux of the treatment must include the treatment for Osteoporosis-beside calcium, vitamin D, appropriate choice of Anti-resorptive or Anabolic bone builders must be decided according to the patient profile and requirement, in order to prevent secondary fragility fractures in the elderly aging population.

(MENAFN- Jordan Times)
As the Syrian Regime collapsed, Israel shifted its efforts towards redrawing the security geography and penetrating deeper into Syrian territory in an attempt to establish a future reality where some strategic Syrian land would remain under Israeli control and surveillance. These efforts included targeting Syria's military infrastructure and dismantling its army's arsenal, with the aim of creating a demilitarised Syria and rendering its geography unusable in any future equation that might target Israel.
While the world has been preoccupied with tracking the movements of the leader of Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), Abu Mohammad al-Jolani (Ahmad al-Sharaa), his transformation in presence and rhetoric has drawn attention. This appears to be part of a strategy to market him as a suitable political option for the next stage. Despite his repeated assertions about respecting diversity within Syrian society, maintaining the country's unity, and ensuring a democratic transition, doubts remain about HTS's ability to translate these statements into practical action.
Al-Jolani, who currently leads the Syrian scene as a figure representing an ideological stance, may face serious challenges in accepting others, managing differences, or embracing the principle of power-sharing. His initial steps, forming a homogeneous government and attempting to dominate power, indicate a lack of a genuine strategy to address Syria's social complexities and political legacy. The regime's collapse may lead to significant difficulties in dealing with this legacy, both in its security and bureaucratic aspects. Such an approach could provoke expected reactions from various internal factions, such as the Druze and Kurds, or even within Idlib itself, who see this monopolisation of political decisions as a threat to their interests and future.
While simplifying al-Jolani and HTS's rise to power by emphasising the oppressive image of the previous regime may make the Syrian scene appear clearer, the complexity of the current reality cannot be ignored. International support from the US and regional backing from Turkey may not fully guarantee a political transition, as the real challenge lies in how HTS handles extending its influence over the entirety of Syrian territory, a goal yet to be achieved. Additionally, integrating all segments of Syrian society into a national project remains nearly impossible for an ideologically driven organisation that struggles to embrace political diversity or power-sharing principles.
In recent years, the Biden administration took a notable step in Afghanistan by withdrawing and leaving the country to the Taliban, later marketed desperately as a reformed, moderate movement. Today, this phenomenon is being repeated with HTS, as promises to remove it from the terrorist list, distinguish it from other extremist groups, and present al-Jolani as a progressive, politically competent figure gain traction. However, removing HTS from the terrorist list warrants careful consideration of the potential repercussions. Most extremist groups may adopt escalation and rebellion as a primary strategy in the coming phase, particularly in their competition with each other and in their efforts to gain recognition as viable governing entities. This trend could extend beyond Syria's borders.
Additionally, this development may reignite aspirations among Islamic parties, which retreated after the Arab Spring, to resume their pursuit of power. The symbolism of certain actions since the Syrian regime's collapse, such as al-Jolani's speech at the Umayyad Mosque, framing the event as a victory for the Islamic nation rather than a triumph for Syria's opposition, and the newly appointed Prime Minister Mohammad al-Bashir delivering his first address from a Friday sermon pulpit at the same mosque, reflects an ideological agenda being marketed as the product of a political rather than religious revolution.
Political transition in Syria remains a challenging and complex process due to historical, social, economic and institutional factors. The risk of internal conflict remains significant, as many Syrian factions have yet to express their stance or acceptance of current developments. Furthermore, ceding control of their areas of influence will not be easy. The position of Daesh also remains ambiguous, with its movements since the regime's fall unclear.
The region may be on the brink of significant repercussions resulting from what has happened and how things will develop in Syria, both politically and in terms of security. The next phase may also see Israel advancing practical measures on the ground before the Trump administration returns to the White House, including annexing areas of the West Bank, securing its borders with Lebanon and Syria, and striking farther targets which Israel considers to be fronts of Iranian influence extending from Iraq to Yemen and even inside Iran.

Pregnancy: Mom-to-be Take Special Care Of Your Heart
During pregnancy changes occur to the heart and blood vessels that add stress on a woman&rsquos body and increase the workload of the heart. An over-worked heart often leads to certain health woes viz swollen ankles fatigue mild shortness of breath and frequent urination. Women with pre-existing cardiovascular diseases or conditions like diabetes high cholesterol obesity hypertension or women who smoke are at higher risk of these complications.
When a woman is pregnant, her heart has to work 'harder'! As a mother's body prepares to take care of two individuals, the heart has to work overtime to accommodate all the imminent changes. An over-worked heart often leads to certain health woes, viz, swollen ankles, fatigue, mild shortness of breath, and frequent urination. Women with pre-existing cardiovascular diseases or conditions like diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, hypertension or women who smoke, are at higher risk of these complications. These complications may have an important impact on the mother and the baby.
During pregnancy, changes occur to the heart and blood vessels that add stress on a woman’s body and increase the workload of the heart. The cardiac input, heart beat rate and the blood volume increases during pregnancy and is doubled by the eighth month. There are changes such as
- Increase in blood volume
- Increase in cardiac output
- Increase in heart rate
- Decrease in blood pressure
However, women who has a late pregnancy or has a pre-existing cardiovascular diseases, will not be able to handle the increase the cardiac input, heart beat rate and the blood volume to the body.
The cardiac ailments which can prove fatal during pregnancy are:
Cardiomyopathy: For women with Cardiomyopathy, the heart is weak and is not able to pump large amount of blood through the body and maintain a normal electrical rhythm for the pregnant mother. This can lead to heart failure or irregular heartbeats called arrhythmias. This can be lethal for both the mother and baby.
Heart valve disease: For women with heart valve disease, heart's valves do not work the way they should and the heart will not be able to handle the changes in the blood volume and pressure. It can be lethal for both the mother and the baby.
How should the mother prepare her heart for pregnancy?
Lethal heart diseases: Women with heart ailments or a family history of cardiac disorders should consult a cardiologist and a gynaecologist before planning a baby.
Congenital heart defect: If the mother or father had a congenital heart defect, there is a 5 - 10 percent chance that the child could have it at birth. If both the mother and father had a congenital heart defect at birth, there is a higher risk that the child would be born with it. Such parents are asked to do a feotal ecogram before the 24th week of pregnancy.
Anti-epileptic drugs: Anti-epileptic drugs can also induce a cardiac problem with the baby. Most women do not have the luxury of stopping medications during pregnancy without seizure recurrence. Doctor's consultation is extremely important in such situations.

(MENAFN- Jordan Times)
A few years ago, I had the privilege of sitting down with Professor Jeffrey Sachs, one of the world's leading economists and a sharp observer of global geopolitics. Sachs shed light on a revelation as stark as it is alarming: Syria was part of a seven-country plan outlined by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to systematically dismantle governments in the Middle East. According to Sachs, Netanyahu's influence on US foreign policy has already resulted in the successful overthrow of six out of these seven nations. Now, only one remains in their sights: Iran.
Syria was not just another country in this agenda. It is a land uniquely endowed with extraordinary resources, culture and economic potential, making it both a jewel in the Middle East's crown and a primary target in the region's geopolitical battles. Syria is a nation capable of supporting a population of 80 million with a personal income among the highest in the world. Yet, today, it remains mired in conflict, its riches contested by foreign powers and internal divisions.
Syria's natural resources read like a catalog of global wealth. The Conoco gas field alone can sustain over 20 million people, while the Al-Shaer oil field in Homs could meet the country's energy needs and enable surplus production for export. The Suwaidieh and Rumeilan gas fields, often compared to Qatar's capacity, underscores Syria's potential as an energy superpower.
In Deir Ezzor, the Al-Ward and Al-Taym fields and the T2 station on the Iraq-Syria oil pipeline and Al-Jafra are no less than any important field in the Gulf states. Al-Omar and Al-Tanak oil fields represent some of the largest reserves in the Middle East, with production so abundant that engineers fear environmental damage if pumps exceed 40 per cent of their capacity. The Al-Taym oil field, with proper management, could elevate Syrian incomes to levels comparable to European or Gulf nations. Beyond hydrocarbons, Syria is blessed with rare ore materials, unparalleled silicon reserves, and a maritime gas field near Latakia that rivals some of the largest in the region.
Syria is not just an energy powerhouse; it is an agricultural giant. It ranks third globally in solid wheat production, second in olive and olive oil output, and among the top producers of citrus fruits like oranges and lemons. Its fisheries, phosphate reserves, regarded as the best in the world, and cotton production add to its vast agricultural wealth.
Culturally, Syria is a living museum, holding over 30 per cent of the world's documented history. From ancient cities like Palmyra to the ruins of Ugarit, where the first alphabet was created, Syria stands as a unique global tourist attraction. Were peace to prevail, its tourism potential alone could be transformative for its economy.
Perhaps Syria's most underappreciated asset is its population. Over 75 per cent of its people are young, representing a dynamic and capable workforce that could fuel an economic renaissance. With proper governance and investment, Syria's demographic advantage could rival that of any emerging market.
Despite these extraordinary advantages, Syria remains a battleground for global powers. As Sachs pointed out, its fate has been shaped not by the will of its people but by external agendas. The US, influenced by Netanyahu's vision, has supported efforts to fragment Syria's government and divide its territory. Meanwhile, the country's natural wealth has become a prize in a game of geopolitical chess, with foreign actors seeking control over its resources.
The consequences of these interventions are devastating. Millions of Syrians have been displaced, the nation's infrastructure is in ruins, and its people are denied the prosperity that their land could so easily provide. Even as talks emerge involving that some countries want to use Syria as a corridor for transporting oil and gas to Europe, these discussions often exclude the very people who live on and depend upon this land.
If Syria is to reclaim its potential, it will require a monumental shift in both internal governance and external relations. It will need to wrest control of its resources from foreign actors and invest in its young population, its infrastructure, and its industries. The international community, rather than treating Syria as a pawn in their broader strategies, must recognise its potential as a cornerstone of Middle Eastern stability and prosperity.
In the end, the story of Syria is a cautionary tale about the cost of geopolitical ambition and the resilience of a nation that remains, despite all odds, a hidden giant. As Sachs warned, the destruction of Syria is not just a tragedy for Syrians; it is a loss for the world. It is time to change the narrative and let Syria rise, not as a target, but as a beacon of possibility.

(MENAFN- Jordan Times)
PARIS - Oscar-winning director Barry Jenkins says he nearly turned down the chance to direct Disney's new blockbuster, a prequel to "The Lion King", before realising it contained many of the themes that helped make his name.
Only when his agents insisted he read the script did he accept the role for "Mufasa: The Lion King", which hits screens next week in the United States and Europe.
At first sight, it seems a far cry from the poignant drama of "Moonlight", his triple Oscar-winning 2016 breakthrough exploring identity, race and poverty, but he says it's not as far as it seems.
"It wasn't until I read the script that I realised," he told AFP in a pre-release interview. "There were so many of the themes, so many of the character dynamics, so much of the journey that felt directly related to all the things I've been doing."
The ultra-realist animation, which will be available in 3D, tells the origin story of Mufasa, father of Simba, the cub star of the 1994 film.
As a young lion, Mufasa finds himself alone and separated from his parents before being adopted by the family of Taka, the compassionate heir of a different pride.
"In the first film, it's about family dynamics and this sort of thing, like revenge and betrayal," explained Jenkins.
"This film is about those things as well... But it's also about how the quality of parenting, the nature of parenting, this idea of nature versus nurture, how those things can impact so much."
He uses the example of Taka who becomes Scar, the infamous villain of the first film.
"Villains aren't really born. They're kind of created out of circumstances," Jenkins said.
Family dynamics
Parenting and the emotional complexity wrought by a troubled childhood are intensely personal subjects for the 45-year-old Miami native, who grew up in the same crime-infested neighbourhood that is the setting for "Moonlight".
He never knew his father and his mother was addicted to crack cocaine, meaning he was brought up largely by a surrogate grandmother figure.
"I didn't realise it when I started the film. But at some point during making it, I did realise that there were quite a few similarities [with my own life]," he explained.
He says he's built his own family out of the cinematographers, editors, producers and fellow film school students he's known for the last 25 years.
"They've become my family... That's a family that I've created, not a family I was born with. And this family has changed my life," he said.
The original Lion King is one of the best-known films in cinema history and also one of all-time biggest successes at the box office, with worldwide sales of nearly a billion dollars, according to the IMBD website.
The prequel features voices by British actor Aaron Pierre as Mufasa and Kelvin Harrison Jr as Taka.
Beyonce has a minor role voicing the Nala character, while her daughter Blue Ivy Carter makes her feature film debut as the voice of Simba's daughter, Kiara.

My house is 60-70 years old. The previous owners renovated it and put in double-paned windows. I like them because they are energy efficient and make the house quieter. They are pretty but don't look original.

Ten Commandments for Good Eye Health # 1:
Wash your hands
Wash your hands thoroughly before touching your eyes. Our hands are filled with dirt and minute pollutants, when they meet your eyes can cause eye infections and conjunctivitis.
Ten Commandments for Good Eye Health # 2:
Quit smoking
Smoking is bad for the human body including your eyes. Excessive smoking or constant chewing of tobacco can cause macular (eye-nerve) degeneration or blindness, due to the presence of harmful compound, nicotine.
Ten Commandments for Good Eye Health # 3:
UV protect your eyes
Yes, sunshine is good for eye health, but nothing in excess is ever good. If your work demands you to stay outdoors, then always wear good UV protected sunglasses. This will help prevent or delay the problem of cataract.
Ten Commandments for Good Eye Health # 4:
Wear safety goggles
Eye injuries can also impair your vision in a great way; in order to avoid it always remember to wear safety goggles or eyewear, while working with chemicals, playing sports, bursting crackers or while swimming.
Ten Commandments for Good Eye Health # 5:
Stare at a distance
All work and no play will surely make your lethargic and add strain to your eyes. Take a break and change the focus of your eyes to greener or look at a distance. Practice eye exercises for good vision.
Ten Commandments for Good Eye Health # 6:
Eat healthy food
Nourish your eyes with foods that improve your eyes like carrots, apricots and blueberries. All these foods are rich in beta-carotene and are good for vision.
Ten Commandments for Good Eye Health # 7:
Go for a routine check-up
Even if you have good vision and have no trouble in reading, go for a vision check at least once a year. This is a good way to detect various eye related ailments and prevent it with timely treatment.
Ten Commandments for Good Eye Health # 8:
Do not ignore
If you face any abnormality with your vision never neglect it. Take action and consult an ophthalmologist at that instance. This action of yours will help prevent major problem in the future.
Ten Commandments for Good Eye Health # 9:
Blink your eyes regularly
Keep blinking your eyes, to keep your eyes fresh and avoid eyestrain. Computer users tend to blink their eyes far less, thus it is recommended that they should follow the eye exercise of blinking their eyes every three-four seconds.

(MENAFN- Jordan Times)
LAUSANNE - FIFA on Wednesday confirmed that Saudi Arabia will host the 2034 World Cup, underlining the Gulf kingdom's growing influence in world sport.
At the same time, a virtual congress of world football's governing body confirmed that Morocco, Spain and Portugal will be joint hosts of the 2030 World Cup, in which three games will also be played in South America.
The Saudi bid was waved through by acclamation during the meeting of FIFA's 211 national member associations, with no rivals standing in its way.
"It is a proud day, a day of celebration, a day that we invite the entire world to Saudi Arabia," said Abdulaziz bin Turki bin Faisal Al Saud, the Saudi Minister of Sports.
"We intend to have an extraordinary version of the World Cup in our kingdom."
FIFA had invoked its principle of rotating the World Cup between continents, which meant only bids from Asia or Oceania were welcome for 2034.
The unprecedented organisation of the 2030 tournament will involve three continental confederations in Europe, Africa and South America, while the next World Cup in 2026 -- the first involving 48 teams -- will take place across North America.
The body gave potential bidders barely a month last year to submit candidacies, and Australia and Indonesia quickly abandoned their interest.
That left Saudi Arabia as the sole candidate, clearing the way for the World Cup to return to the Gulf region so soon after Qatar hosted in 2022.
'Centenary celebration'
The 2030 tournament will mark a century since the first World Cup was held in Uruguay, and as a result the unrivalled joint bid by Morocco, Spain and Portugal will also see the South American nation handed one game along with Argentina and Paraguay.
FIFA confirmed over a year ago that the joint proposal led by Morocco, Spain and Portugal was the sole contender for 2030, with all other potential candidacies having fallen by the wayside.
Four South American countries launched a joint bid in 2019, convinced that the centenary World Cup should entirely take place on the same continent where it all began.
Meanwhile, Morocco replaced Ukraine as a partner for Spain and Portugal, while South America agreed to step aside in exchange for hosting three games.
Following these "centenary celebrations" in the southern hemisphere winter, the six teams involved will cross the Atlantic to play the rest of the tournament.
Spain, which hosted the 1982 World Cup, should be the centrepiece as it boasts 11 of the 20 proposed stadiums.
Morocco -- after failing on five previous occasions to be awarded the staging of the tournament -- will become the second African nation to host the competition after South Africa in 2010.
Potential venues for the July 21 final include the Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid and Barcelona's renovated Camp Nou as well as the planned Hassan II stadium between Casablanca and Rabat, set to boast a capacity of 115,000.

(MENAFN- Jordan Times)
AMMAN - Minister of investment Muthanna Gharaibeh on Wednesday highlighted the "longstanding" relations between Jordan and France, expressing pride in the growing cooperation between the two nations.
He noted that French investments in Jordan have advanced, particularly in key sectors, making them among the largest foreign investments in the Kingdom.
Gharaibeh made his remarks during a meeting organised by the Jordanian-French Businessmen's Club (CAFRAJ), which saw the presence of French Ambassador to Jordan Alexis Le Cour Grandmaison, Secretary-General of the Ministry of Investment Zahir Qatarnah, Club President Walid Zarab, and investors from both Jordan and France, according to the Jordan News Agency, Petra.
The minister stressed that Jordan's economy offers several advantages for investors, including political stability, a skilled workforce, a strategic geographic location, and a range of incentives, such as tax exemptions.
Jordan's numerous free trade agreements provide access to global markets worth $50 trillion, covering over 1.4 billion consumers, further boosting its attractiveness to investors, he added, noting that these advantages position Jordan as a leading investment hub in the region.
Gharaibeh outlined key investment opportunities in Jordan, particularly through public-private partnerships, urging both local and international companies to take advantage of these opportunities, whether by launching new projects or collaborating with existing companies to expand operations and reach new markets.
The minister reiterated the government's commitment to supporting investors through simplified procedures and a conducive legal environment, highlighting that Jordan offers numerous incentives to boost investment competitiveness.
During the event, participants discussed potential aspects for future cooperation.
Founded in 1998, the Jordanian-French Businessmen's Club currently includes more than 300 Jordanian and French companies operating in Jordan with the aim of fostering stronger economic and commercial ties between the two countries and encouraging French companies, particularly SMEs, to invest in the Kingdom.

(MENAFN- Jordan Times)
SEOUL - South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol vowed on Thursday to fight "until the very last minute" in a defiant address defending his shock decision to declare martial law and deploy troops to the country's parliament last week.
The South Korean leader is barred from foreign travel as part of a probe into his inner circle over the dramatic events of December 3-4 that stunned Seoul's allies and threw the country into some of its deepest Political turmoil in years.
Yoon, staring down an impeachment vote in parliament on Saturday, vowed to "fight with the people until the very last minute".
He went on the attack against the opposition, accusing it of pushing the country into a "national crisis".
"The National Assembly, dominated by the large opposition party, has become a monster that destroys the constitutional order of liberal democracy," Yoon said in his televised address.
Yoon also doubled down on his justification of declaring martial law, which he had said was taken to safeguard South Korea "from the threats posed by North Korea's communist forces and eliminate anti-state elements".
"I apologise again to the people who must have been surprised and anxious due to the martial law," he added.
"Please trust me."
Saturday's impeachment vote will take place at around 5:00 pm (0800 GMT).
It needs to win support from eight members of the ruling People Power Party (PPP) to secure the necessary two-thirds majority.
PPP leader Han Dong-hoon urged party members on Thursday to attend the meeting and vote "according to their conviction and conscience".
"President Yoon Suk Yeol is no longer able to fulfil his duties as president, and I think that has become clearer and clearer," he said.
Police meanwhile attempted another raid on Yoon's presidential office compound, Yonhap news agency reported, a day after a similar attempt was blocked by security guards.
The main opposition Democratic Party has said it would file legal complaints for insurrection against the president's staff and security if they continued to obstruct law enforcement.
Yonhap said Thursday's raid focused on the headquarters of the military's Joint Chiefs of Staff, which reportedly agreed to cooperate with the investigation.
'I want to witness history'
South Korea's capital has been rocked by daily protests since last week, with thousands gathering to demand Yoon's resignation.
Kim Jae-hee, 34, told AFP she would be hitting the streets on Saturday to protest for Yoon's impeachment.
"I want to witness history," she said. "I also know a lot of friends who are doing the same."
Yoon said Thursday he would "not avoid legal and political responsibility regarding the declaration of martial law".
And members of his inner circle have come under intense scrutiny for their alleged role in last week's martial law declaration.
Police said on Thursday they had raided the headquarters of the military's capital defence command, which was deployed during the martial law declaration.
Former defence minister Kim Yong-hyun, who is accused of urging Yoon to impose martial law, tried to kill himself in prison on Tuesday, authorities said.
Kim was first detained on Sunday and later formally arrested on charges of "engaging in critical duties during an insurrection" and "abuse of authority to obstruct the exercise of rights".
The former interior minister and the general in charge of the martial law operation are also barred from foreign travel.
Two senior police officials have also been arrested in the last days.
The PPP has said that, pending Yoon's resignation, he has agreed to hand power to Prime Minister Han Duck-soo and party chief Han.

The only picture I got today! It was not a day of photo ops, unfortunately... But it was a cold night (and we had coupons) so we got some hot chocolate on a late night gas station run!
We call it hot chocolate and I know there is a technical difference between "cocoa" or "hot cocoa" and "hot chocolate," but I'm not sure which this one would actually be. Because I don't really know, I'm just going to count it anyway and take the opportunity to wish everyone a Happy Cocoa Day!

Indians Walk Less Than 30 Minutes a Day
A regular walk helps to maintain a healthy lifestyle but a survey indicates that a lot of people in India don't even walk for a minimum of 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace.
A regular walk helps to maintain a healthy lifestyle but a survey indicates that a lot of people in India don't even walk for a minimum of 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace.
The online survey was conducted by international internet-based market research firm YouGov on behalf of the World Heart Federation.
As many as 1,021 adults (above 18 years of age) in India were surveyed. The study shows that 46 percent of the respondents walked less than half an hour at a brisk pace on a given day.
“Earlier studies have shown that walking is associated with reduced cardiovascular risk in the Indian population. Everyone should walk at least a total of 30 minutes at a brisk pace to lead a healthy and stress free life,” Monika Arora, director, Health Promotion, Public Health Foundation of India, said in a statement.
It was also found that adults aged between 18 and 24 do more brisk walking on a typical day than those in any other age group.
Public Health Foundation of India had recently partnered the World Heart Federation to promote walking among Indians by announcing the launch of a free smartphone application Ground Miles to help people track their walking habits.

Building on the renovation efforts in 2023, Henkel Thailand identified additional improvements to enhance safety at the Konrad Henkel Border Patrol Police School in Nakhon Phanom. The 19,000-euro project, completed in June 2024, included replacing deteriorating classroom ceilings, upgrading wooden windows to aluminum, and installing a new roof to protect the school from weather-related damage.
Henkel Thailand employees also contributed donations to provide new fans, desks, and a gas tank for the classrooms, enhancing safety and functionality for the 86 students and 14 teachers.

Moving forward, Henkel Thailand will maintain its support for the waste bank program at the Konrad Henkel Border Patrol Police School, which encourages students and school members to recycle and earn points for selling waste items. Additionally, Henkel Thailand will supply products to both schools to support skill development in their hair-cutting programs.
"Henkel Thailand is committed to enhancing both the safety and functionality of classrooms and facilities, while also enriching the learning environment for the entire school community. Through these efforts, we hope to foster an environment where the well-being of both students and staff continues to thrive," said Andrianto Jayapurna, President of Henkel Thailand.
To date, Henkel Thailand has adopted three schools across the country, including Henkel Thai Border Patrol Police School in Kanchanaburi, Konrad Henkel Border Patrol Police School in Nakhon Phanom, and Baan Srisawas Border Patrol Police School in Yasothon. Henkel Thailand supports the schools in various ways, such as sponsoring construction projects, allocating funds for teaching staff, and engaging employees in school visits and donations.

Astro Predictions for October
Find out what's in store for you this month. Here's the horoscope for the month of October...
Find out what's in store for you this month. Here's the horoscope for the month of October...
Find out what's in store for you this month. Here's the horoscope for the month of October...
Aries
Your PR skills and personal relationships will be in focus this month. Casual meetings with people who can prove to be of great importance in your career progress are on the cards. However, don't spoil your relations with colleagues and superiors for uncertain future gains. Now, talking about personal relationships, Ganesha says that you have to handle them carefully. Be wary about what you choose to express (confide wholeheartedly only in your beloved) to people around you as there is a strong likelihood of them misunderstanding your words. Restraint is called for. This month your health may pose some major problems, and you may have to undergo some elaborate medical treatment. The possibility of a surgery cannot be ruled out. Take care of your energy levels, otherwise you may not be able to perform well on the work front.
Taurus
This month your personal life shall become a lot smoother as you will find the much-needed peace and moral support in the company of your beloved. However, it may not be smooth sailing on the work front. You may face some hurdles in getting your tasks completed as you will need to constantly follow-up with colleagues. Be diplomatic, especially during official meetings, otherwise your frankness may end up being problematic for others. In business, you may come across opportunities to enhance your profits. But it is unlikely that you will be able to grab all of them as you may be busy with too many things at the moment. You will loosen the purse strings during the initial period of October, but soon you will realise that you are compromising your future security way too much. Cut down on unnecessary expenses before it is too late, advises Ganesha.
Gemini
This month you shall reap the fruits of your past labours. Your personal life will also become better, all thanks to your sincere efforts in nurturing your relationships. Well, there may be some not-so-smooth relationships, but focus on the positives and strengthen them. Ganesha foresees that emotions may cloud your decisions this month. In fact, you are likely to become quite emotional, subduing your logical and practical abilities. You need to ensure that people don't take advantage of your emotional nature. If someone asks for financial help, do the needful only if you have surplus funds. Don't risk your financial security unnecessarily. On the business front, the winds of change may see your profit margins dwindling, which means you will have to introduce cost-cutting measures. But make it a point to not compromise on the quality of the final output, says Ganesha.
Cancer
The going may get tough this month, foretells Ganesha. People around you will come up with all sorts of suggestions and advice, but you need to make decisions without getting influenced by them. After all, you will be responsible for the consequences of your decisions. So be strong and take some firm decisions with your head, not with your heart. On the personal front, you may have to deal with some challenging situations. Your expectations from your loved ones may rise so high that it will be nearly impossible for them to meet your demands. It may even cause rifts in your relationships, so you better understand that people have their limitations and it is not right for you to be so demanding. If there are any conflicts, you need discus them with your family members.
Leo
A definite increase in your energy levels is foreseen. Ganesha advises you to channelise your enhanced energies in the right direction and control your temperament under all circumstances. You should consider doing some physical activities as they will not only help you divert your energies in the right direction but also enable you to keep your cool. As far as finances are concerned, you may not face any serious issues this month. However, it would be a good idea to review your spending habits. If you have decided to buy something expensive, opt for instalments instead of paying the whole amount at one go. You will try to increase your savings, but circumstances may not permit it. During the second half of the month, financial matters will be in the forefront.
Virgo
During the month ahead, you will get good opportunities to showcase your analytical skills and intelligence, and according to Ganesha, you will grab them with both hands. Authority figures at your workplace will notice your sincerity, and appreciate it. The planetary positions also suggest a favourable period for your business. If you want to execute your expansion plans and open new branches, Ganesha gives you the green signal. However, handle financial matters carefully, as they could be confusing. One of the major positives of this month is, you will comfortably tweak your busy schedule, especially during the last few days of the month, to spend quality time with your family and friends. Talking about friends, Ganesha says that you should consult them in case something is bothering you. They may be able to help you take the right decision.
Libra
Your innate quality to strike a fine balance between conflicting affairs shall be fully manifested this month. However, you may not be able to deal with financial affairs with the same finesse, as your expenses shall be more than your cash inflow. Try to manage somehow and avoid borrowing as this is just a temporary phase, says Ganesha. At work, you will be one of the top performers and the cherry on the cake will be the rewards and recognition you will receive for being an excellent employee. Don't expect too much, though. If you are planning to change your job, wait for a better period to execute that plan. Your general attitude towards life will be quite positive and hence you will happily ignore whatever small problems you may be facing at this moment. As for major problems, Ganesha assures you that there will not be many of them.
Scorpio
This will be a month of mixed fortunes for you. While there will be success and joy, there will also be struggle and sadness. The first few days of October are favourable for a job-change. So if you are weighing your options, take a decision and finalise things during this period. And if you decide to stay put, Ganesha advises you to be prepared for handling some tough challenges. Your boss may scold you, often for no valid reason. Keep your calm as the tide is not in your favour. You may even have to log in more number of hours at the office to achieve your target. Your personal life may get sidelined. Financially, it will more or less be smooth sailing this month. Avoid taking major decisions during the second half of the month.
Sagittarius
It takes a lot to take criticism positively, especially for someone like you who detests even a minor harmless negative comment. But this month, people around you will be pleasantly surprised to see a different 'you' as you shall take criticism positively and make improvements in your personality. Ganesha gives you a pat on the back. You may even go for an image makeover. It could cost you a lot, though. Expenses looks set to be on the rise and the possibility of you asking for financial help from some people cannot be ruled out. Well, not many will be ready to help you. But Ganesha is confident that you will find a way out. If you are working at a super-fast speed to reach your goals, you better slow down and catch your breath, else you may end up damaging your health severely.

TBS's TBS2030 initiative illustrates how corporate success can be seamlessly intertwined with environmental stewardship, underscoring Indonesia's readiness to align profitability with sustainable objectives.
Equally influential are those advancing the nation's healthcare and financial well-being. PT Siloam International Hospitals Tbk-recognized as one of Asia's Most Influential Companies-continues to expand its extensive network of hospitals and clinics, integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into every facet of its services. AIA Indonesia, another esteemed honoree, elevates the insurance industry by marrying financial protection with holistic wellness. Through programs like AIA Vitality, the company encourages healthier lifestyles, championing preventive care and climate responsibility as essential pillars of its growth strategy.
In sustainability management, PT Olahkarsa Inovasi Indonesia-led by Co-Founder and CEO Unggul Yoga Ananta-sets new standards for innovative social impact. The firm's pioneering approaches to corporate social performance highlight how strategic partnerships and advanced digital tools can drive meaningful change, while inspiring a new generation of socially conscious leaders.
Meanwhile, PT Acer Indonesia illustrates the tech sector's role in nurturing a greener ecosystem. By responsibly managing e-waste, investing in mangrove reforestation, and introducing eco-centric product lines, Acer demonstrates that cutting-edge innovation can flourish hand-in-hand with environmental care and long-term climate goals.
Together, these Indonesian award recipients reflect a shared vision: that growth, influence, and global relevance need not come at the expense of people or planet. By setting higher standards for sustainability and social responsibility, they are forging a path that others will undoubtedly follow-an inspiring legacy that firmly places Indonesia at the heart of Asia's sustainable transformation.

Rajya Sabha To Hold Discussion On Constitution From Today
Date
12/15/2024 11:30:16 PM
(MENAFN- IANS) New Delhi, Dec 16 (IANS) After a fiery debate over the constitution in the Lok Sabha, the Rajya Sabha is set to discuss the topic on Monday and Tuesday.
As per the list of business of the Upper House, there will be a“discussion on the glorious journey of the 75 years of the Constitution of India”.
Before the discussion begins, an obituary reference will be made on the passing away of ex-Member Shreegopal Vyas, papers will be laid on the table by eight ministers, and various Standing Committees will also submit their reports.
The debate in the Rajya Sabha comes amid escalating tensions over a no-confidence motion filed by the Congress-led opposition against Vice President and House Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar.
Last week, the Upper House saw uproar and adjournments over the no-trust motion against Dhankhar. The opposition's motion accuses him of biased conduct.
The Rajya Sabha debate on the Constitution comes after a two-day discussion in the Lok Sabha. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh initiated the two-day debate with a focus on its historical significance and role in shaping the nation's governance and global standing.
Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in her maiden speech in Parliament, said the BJP would have changed the Constitution had it not been for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi made references to Veer Savarkar which were objected to by the BJP members.
The highlight of the two-day discussion in the Lower House was Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speech. He said the Constitutional amendments brought by his government weren't done to tighten grip on power, in contrast with the Congress. He said the Nehru-Gandhi family had made a habit of amending the Constitution as it suited their interests, starting with the country's first PM Jawaharlal Nehru.
PM Modi also outlined 11 resolutions for the country's future. He said, "After being inspired by the inherent spirit of the Constitution, I want to present 11 resolutions in front of the Parliament for the future of the country."

Saw one of these guys on another section of fence as I was driving out, so had to turn around and go back and try to get a shot. While I was looking at the one, the other one flew up. Thought they were going to share a shack, but that didn't happen. Just wish I had been more at a straight on angle for both of them, so I didn't get the blur on the one on the left. Maybe going to a smaller aperture.

If you ever wanted to dive into the source code for the 1980s space game Elite, but didn’t want to invest many hours reverse-engineering the 6502 assembly code, then [Mark Moxon]’s annotated code has you covered. The systems referenced range from the BBC Micro and Commodore 64 to the NES and Apple II, with some of these versions based on the officially released source code. For other systems the available source code was used together with decompiled game binaries to determine the changes and to produce functional, fully commented source code.
This particular game is fascinating for being one of the first to use wire-frame 3D graphics with hidden-line removal and a sprawling universe in which to trade and deal with less than friendly parties using a variety of weapons. After this initial entry it would go on to spawn many sequels and inspired countless games that’d follow a similar formula.
On the respective GitHub project page for each version, you can find instructions on how to build the code for yourself, such as for the Commodore 64. Of note here is the the license, which precludes anyone from doing more than forking and reading the code. If this is no concern, then building the game is as simple as using the assembler (BeebAsm) and the c1541 disk image utility from the VICE project.

(MENAFN- IANS) Seoul, Dec 16 (IANS) South Korea's Semiconductor exports face growing threats from China, Taiwan and Malaysia amid intensifying global competition in advanced industries, an industry report showed on Monday.
The report from the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency, better known as KOTRA, on the export similarity index (ESI) for semiconductors showed China as being South Korea's top competitor in the sector, with an ESI score of 72.2 in the third quarter of the year.
Taiwan's ESI with South Korea in semiconductors rose significantly, increasing 7.6 points over four years to reach 32.5, the largest growth among major semiconductor exporters, reports Yonhap news agency.
Malaysia's ESI increased 6 points to 50.5 over the same period, marking the second-highest growth after Taiwan.
KOTRA noted that Malaysia has emerged as a notable competitor, ranking fifth globally in semiconductor exports and handling 13 per cent of the world's semiconductor assembly, testing and packaging processes.
The report highlighted concerns that South Korea's failure to secure a technological edge over competitors could weaken its export competitiveness in the sector.
"This is a critical time to leverage technological strengths to expand South Korea's market share in export sectors," KOTRA said in the report, adding, "South Korean firms must urgently prepare strategies to strengthen their export competitiveness."
Meanwhile, South Korea's exports grew 12.4 per cent from a year earlier in the first 10 days of this month on strong shipments of semiconductors, data showed on Wednesday.
Outbound shipments reached $17.6 billion in the December 1-10 period, compared with $15.6 billion tallied a year earlier, according to the data from the Korea Customs Service.
Imports gained 11.6 per cent on-year to $19.1 billion, resulting in a trade deficit of $1.55 billion.
Adjusted for the number of working days, daily average exports increased 5 percent on-year to $2.34 billion, the agency said. This year's period included 7.5 working days, compared with 7 working days over the same timeframe last year.
"Our exports continue to show upward momentum as both the total and daily average exports have increased compared to the same period last year," said Jo Eek-no, director general for international trade policy at the industry ministry.
Exports of semiconductors surged 43 per cent on-year to $3.61 billion over the cited period.
