Days after a missing Hadapsar resident was found shot dead, the Pune city police Tuesday arrested four persons in connection with the murder case, officials said.
Hadapsar police arrested three suspects identified as Subhash Bhillare, 24, Rajendra Gaikwad, 23, and Akshay Gangavne, 21, in the murder of 21-year-old Ganesh Nana Mule, a resident of Satavwadi in Hadaspur. The Crime Branch sleuths arrested the fourth suspect Chetan Kudale on the same day.
Police said that Mule’s body was found at the Bopdev Ghat in Kondhwa area on Monday night. A probe revealed he died of bullet injuries.
According to police, after Mule who left home on Saturday night did not return, his family lodged a missing complaint at the Hadapsar police station on Sunday.
During the investigation, the police questioned the men who had accompanied Mule after he left home. The suspects claimed that Mule died after he was hit by a bullet misfired from a gun held by one of them. The suspects had then allegedly dumped his body in Bopdev Ghat.
Police said an investigation is underway to confirm the cause of the murder. Attempts are on to recover the gun which was used to shoot Mule, an officer said. | https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/pune/pune-man-shot-dead-four-arrested-8324010/ | 2022-12-14T07:37:26 | en | 0.98333 |

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A Mississippi man who pleaded guilty to raping and killing a 16-year-old girl is scheduled to be put to death Wednesday evening. He would become the second inmate executed in Mississippi in 10 years.
Thomas Edwin Loden Jr., 58, is set to receive a lethal injection at the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman at 6 p.m. He has been on death row since 2001, when he pleaded guilty to capital murder, rape and four counts of sexual battery against Leesa Marie Gray.
In a late-night ruling on Dec. 7, a federal judge declined to block Mississippi from carrying out the execution amid a pending lawsuit from Loden and four Mississippi death row inmates over the state’s lethal injection protocol. Mississippi’s most recent execution was in November 2021.
During the summer ahead of what should have been Gray's senior year of high school, she had worked as a waitress at her uncle’s restaurant in northeast Mississippi. On June 22, 2000, she left work after dark and became stranded with a flat tire on a rural road.
Loden, a Marine Corps recruiter with relatives in the area, encountered Gray on the road around 10:45 p.m. He stopped and began speaking with the teenager about the flat tire. “Don’t worry. I’m a Marine. We do this kind of stuff,” he said.
Loden told investigators he became angry after Gray allegedly said she would never want to be a Marine, and that he ordered her into his van. He spent four hours sexually assaulting her before strangling and suffocating her, according to an interview he gave investigators.
Court records show that on the afternoon of June 23, 2000, “Loden was discovered lying by the side of a road with the words ‘I’m sorry’ carved into his chest and apparent self-inflicted lacerations on his wrists.”
After pleading guilty in September 2001, Loden told Gray’s friends and family during his sentencing: “I hope you may have some sense of justice when you leave here today.”
Wanda Farris, Gray's mother, described her daughter as a “happy-go-lucky, always smiling” teenager who aspired to become an elementary school teacher.
“She wasn’t perfect, now, mind you,” Farris said. “But she strived to do right.”
Farris plans on attending the execution Wednesday.
In 2015, attorneys for the Roderick & Solange MacArthur Justice Center sued the Mississippi prison system on behalf of two death row inmates, saying the state’s lethal injection protocol is inhumane. Loden and two other Mississippi death row inmates later joined as plaintiffs.
The Mississippi Department of Corrections revealed in court papers in July 2021 that it had acquired three drugs for its lethal injection protocol: midazolam, which is a sedative; vecuronium bromide, which paralyzes the muscles; and potassium chloride, which stops the heart.
Jim Craig, a MacArthur Center attorney, said at a November court hearing that since 2019, only Alabama, Oklahoma, Mississippi and Tennessee have conducted executions using a three-drug protocol.
According to the Death Penalty Information Center, 27 states have the death penalty. Craig said a majority of death-penalty states and the federal government used a three-drug protocol in 2008, but the federal government and most of those states have since started using one drug.
In November, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey sought a pause in executions and ordered a “top-to-bottom” review of the state’s capital punishment system after a series of failed lethal injections.
A week before Loden’s scheduled execution, U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate handed down a ruling saying the execution could happen even while the lawsuit is pending. He wrote that the U.S. Supreme Court had upheld a three-drug lethal injection protocol as recently as seven years ago in a case from Oklahoma.
Loden’s attorneys did respond to requests for comment.
There are 36 inmates on death row in Mississippi. Death Penalty Action, a group opposed to capital punishment, convened a news conference Tuesday in front of the state capitol in Jackson to voice their opposition to Loden's execution.
“Clearly, something in him snapped for him to commit such a horrific crime,” said Mitzi Magleby, a spokesperson for the Mississippi chapter of Ignite Justice, an organization that advocates for criminal justice reform. “Mr. Loden was immediately remorseful. Shouldn’t there be room for grace and mercy in such a situation?”
Farris told The Associated Press on Friday that she forgave Loden years ago, but she did not believe his apology.
“I don’t particularly want to see somebody die,” Farris said. “But I do believe in the death penalty. ... I do believe in justice.”

When Karan Johar cast the biggest names from Hindi cinema for Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, it was seen as the biggest casting coup of the time. Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor came together for the film and it seemed like Karan had struck gold with his casting. But, the director was way too nervous to actually execute what he had planned. So much so that as soon as the shoot of the film began, he fell sick and by the third day of the shoot, Karan had a drip on his arm and was supervising the set from a monitor in his vanity van.
Karan, in an earlier conversation on Rajeev Masand’s Picture Ke Peeche shared that the song ‘Bole Chudiyan’, choreographed by Farah Khan, was the first thing to be shot in the film. It involved all the six leads of the film and by his own admission, he was ‘literally so nervous’. Karan recalled that he was ‘really stressed’ on the first two days and was keeping unwell. “I was really hyper and I kept saying, ‘Oh God, I am directing Amitabh Bachchan’. By the time the day came and I knew he was arriving, my stomach had gone for a toss. I had this ‘loose motion attack’. I really kept running in and out of the loo. Finally, I think I had gotten so dehydrated, weak, and nervous that I walked out of the loo, I just said ‘Farah’ and I fell on her,” he recalled.
Karan had fainted on the sets of his second film, and that too on the third day of the shoot. The Ae Dil Hai Mushkil director recalled that when he woke up, he could see Amitabh Bachchan looking into his eyes, and there was a drip on his arm.
He recalled that the next thing he remembered was straight put of a Hindi film. “Like you see all dhundla (blurry) and then you slowly open your eyes, and I thought I saw Amitabh Bachchan looking into my eyes. There was a drip in my hand, there were doctors around in the make-up room and then there was Amitabh Bachchan sitting next to me and saying in his baritone voice, ‘Karan, don’t worry, we’ll dance well. I promise.’ I was fully conscious by then and I said, ‘Yes’,” he said.
The scene that had gotten Karan nervous, the one where the whole cast gets together towards the end of the song, was shot in his absence and Farah Khan had done it all by herself. “The scene with all 6 actors in the song was shot at a time that I was not on the set! I was with my walkie-talkie and monitor in the make-up room. Farah said the day went really well because I was not on the set.” | https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/karan-johar-loose-motion-attack-bole-chudiyan-kabhi-khushi-kabhie-gham-fainted-drip-amitabh-bachchan-8323952/ | 2022-12-14T07:37:32 | en | 0.99338 |

DALLAS (AP) — A destructive winter storm marched across the United States on Wednesday, delivering blizzard-like conditions to the Great Plains hours after tornadoes touched down in parts of Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana.
Five tornadoes were confirmed across north Texas as of Tuesday afternoon based on video and eyewitness reports, but potentially a dozen may have occurred, the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, Texas, reported.
Dozens of homes and businesses were damaged by the line of thunderstorms, and several people were injured in the suburbs and counties stretching north of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. More than 1,000 flights into and out of area airports were delayed, and over 100 were canceled, according to the tracking service FlightAware.
Two people were missing and homes were destroyed Tuesday when a tornado hit Four Forts, Louisiana, about 10 miles (16 kilometers) from Shreveport, said Sgt. Casey Jones of the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office.
“I’m hoping they’re with family somewhere,” Jones said. There were no immediate reports of deaths.
The severe weather threat continued into Wednesday for Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle, according to the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma.
Blizzard warnings stretched from Montana into western Nebraska and Colorado, and the National Weather Service said as much as 2 feet (61 centimeters) of snow was possible in some areas of western South Dakota and northwestern Nebraska. Winds of more than 50 mph (80 kph) at times will make it impossible to see outdoors in Nebraska, officials said.
“There’s essentially no one traveling right now,” said Justin McCallum, a manager at the Flying J truck stop at Ogallala, Nebraska.
Forecasters expect the storm system to hobble the upper Midwest with ice, rain and snow for days, as well as move into the Northeast and central Appalachians. Residents from West Virginia to Vermont were told to watch out for a possible significant mix of snow, ice and sleet, and the National Weather Service issued a winter storm watch from Wednesday night through Friday afternoon, depending on the timing of the storm.
In the Dallas suburb of Grapevine, police spokesperson Amanda McNew reported five confirmed injuries Tuesday.
A possible tornado blew the roof off the city’s service center — a municipal facility — and left pieces of the roof hanging from powerlines, said Trent Kelley, deputy director of Grapevine Parks and Recreation.
It was also trash day, so the storm picked up and scattered garbage all over, he said.
Photos sent by the city showed downed power lines on rain-soaked streets, as well as toppled trees, damaged buildings and a semitrailer that appeared to have been tossed around a parking lot.
In Colorado, all roads were closed in the northeast quadrant of the state. The severe weather in the ranching region could also threaten livestock. Extreme winds can push livestock through fences as they follow the gale’s direction, said Jim Santomaso, a northeast representative for the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association.
“If this keeps up,” said Santomaso, “cattle could drift miles.”
A blizzard warning has been issued on Minnesota’s north shore, as some areas are expecting up to 24 inches of snow and wind gusts up to 40 mph. And in the south of the state, winds gusting up to 50 mph (80 kph) had reduced visibility.
National Weather Service meteorologist Melissa Dye in the Twin Cities said this is a “long duration event” with snow, ice and rain through Friday night. Minnesota was expecting a lull Wednesday, followed by a second round of snow.
The same weather system dumped heavy snow in the Sierra Nevada and western U.S. in recent days.

2022 wasn’t the best year for Hindi cinema but for Indian cinema, this was certainly a year to remember. With Kannada, Telugu and Tamil films making waves across the country, 2022 proved to be a big year for pan-Indian films. IMDb has released a list of Top 10 most popular Indian films of the year. Only one Hindi film has made it to the list with Telugu, Kannada and Tamil films finding space on the top film listing. As per IMDb, the films on the list received more than 200 million monthly views on their website.
Check out the list of Top 10 most popular films here:
1. RRR
SS Rajamouli’s RRR, which recently grabbed two nominations at the Golden Globes, was on the top of the list. The film did phenomenal business at the box office upon its release but made international waves after it released on a digital platform. Starring Ram Charan and Jr NTR in lead roles, RRR was one of the most satisfying theatrical experiences for the viewers this year as Rajamouli presented a spectacle that the audience had missed since before the pandemic.
The controversial Vivek Agnihotri film was recently in the news after IFFI jury chief Nadav Lapid called it a “propaganda” film at the closing ceremony of the festival. The film, which released earlier this year, was based on the 1990s exodus of Kashmiri Hindus from Kashmir. Starring Anupam Kher, Pallavi Joshi, Darshan Kumar among others, the film stirred up a debate upon its release.
3. K.G.F: Chapter 2
One of the most awaited films of the year, KGF Chapter 2 took the story of Rocky ahead. Mounted on a massive scale, KGF Chapter 2 was the biggest box office hit of the year in India and proved that the audience was ready to spend big money at the theatres if they were getting the content that was worth their money. Starring Yash in the lead role, and directed by Prashanth Neel, the film was said to be an ode the Hindi cinema of the 1970s.
4. Vikram
Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Vikram was the film that brought Kamal Haasan back to the cinemas after 2018’s Vishwaroopam 2. Also starring Malayalam star Fahadh Faasil and Tamil star Vijay Sethupathi, the film kicked off a universe that will have sequels and spin-offs, as suggested by the director in a recent roundtable interview.
5. Kantara
The surprise Kannada hit of the year, Rishab Shetty’s Kantara was made on a modest budget but turned out to be a pan-Indian hit. Rishab, who also starred in the lead role in the film, received a lot of praise from moviegoers and critics as they saw it as a film that was rooted in its culture. Kantara wasn’t released nationwide in a pan-Indian fashion but the glorious response in the domestic Kannada market allowed the film to have a pan-Indian release that proved to be in its favour.
6. Rocketry: The Nambi Effect
Starring R Madhavan in the lead role, Rocketry: The Nambi Effect, was the biopic of scientist Nambi Narayanan. Marking Madhavan’s directorial debut, the film was released across many languages but it was first premiered at the Cannes International Film Festival.
7. Major
Starring Adivi Sesh in the lead role, Major had him playing Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan who martyred his life during the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai. The film followed his journey from his childhood to the time when he chose the path of sacrifice to save the lives of many others stuck inside the Taj hotel during the crisis.
8. Sita Ramam
Sita Ramam, a love story starring Dulquer Salmaan and Mrunal Thakur, was a surprise Telugu hit and it was after the success of the film in the Telugu states that the producers released the dubbed versions all over the country. While the love story genre isn’t as popular as it once used to be, Sita Ramam proved that the audience was ready to embrace the genre once again.
9. Ponniyin Selvan: Part One
The Mani Ratnam magum opus, which will have a sequel soon, had a big cast shouldering the film. Vikram, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Karthi, Trisha Krishnan, Jayam Ravi, Sobhuta Dhulipala and many others starred in the film based on Kalki’s series of novels.
10. 777 Charlie
Starring Rakshit Shetty, Sangeetha Sringeri among others, this Kannada film by Kiranraj K followed the story of the bond between a dog and a lonely factory worker. The film had a limited theatrical release but upon receiving critical praise, the film became one of the most talked about Kannada films of the year. | https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/top-10-indian-movies-2022-full-list-imdb-rrr-kgf-2-kashmir-files-8323689/ | 2022-12-14T07:37:38 | en | 0.973735 |

Gear up everyone, as our muscle-bound heroes are joining hands for this new project! Yes, you read it right… Jason Momoa and John Cena are all in to star in the rowdy new action comedy Killer Vacation.
As per a report by Variety, a US-based news outlet, Warner Bros. has recruited the musclebound actors for the feature project, plot details for which are currently under wraps. The two were looking to take their on-screen chemistry to another movie when they met on the set of the upcoming Fast and the Furious franchise finales, according to the sources of Variety.
According to Variety, people who were familiar with the project compared it to entertaining, exciting adventures like True Lies. Mark and Brian Gunn wrote the Killer script, and John Rickard and Peter Safran will be in charge of making the movie. Prior to Safran taking over at WB’s DC Films Unit with James Gunn, the film was packaged and put up within the studio.
Given that he has played Aquaman in multiple movies, Momoa is undoubtedly a crucial part of DC. In Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, he will play the King of Atlantis once more. Momoa recently appeared in Dune, another film from Warner Bros. Safran worked as a producer on Aquaman.
Cena appeared in The Suicide Squad and its HBO Max offshoot, Peacemaker. Gunn created the character for Cena and later came up with the idea for the spinoff, and Safran and Gunn were deeply involved with everything Peacemaker. The upcoming American action-comedy Freelance, which is helmed by Taken’s Pierre Morel, will include Cena as the movie’s star. His Hulu original Vacation Friends was such a pandemic-era smash that the follow-up, Honeymoon Friends, is currently in production. | https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/hollywood/killer-vacation-jason-momoa-and-john-cena-join-hands-for-upcoming-rowdy-action-comedy-8323823/ | 2022-12-14T07:37:44 | en | 0.971365 |

Screenwriter B. Jeyamohan has revealed key plot details of superstar Kamal Haasan’s upcoming film Indian 2. He noted that the feel and the texture of the sequel will be very similar to that of Indian 1, which came out in 1996. However, it seems, this sequel is more challenging for its actors than the original.
“Kamal is almost starving himself while performing in India 2. Because if he chews something it would affect the prosthetic makeup. He was only on the juice diet while acting. I feel bad for him,” Jeyamohan said.
Kamal will reprise the iconic Indian thatha role in Indian 2. He will return as the aged, crime-fighting vigilante with uncanny skills in the sequel, which is helmed by Shankar.
“Indian 2 will have the same feel as Indian 1. The first film was set in a period before the independence but Indian 2 will travel further in time before returning to the present-day Indian thatha. The first film showed the clash between Indian thatha and his son, in the second part, we will see Indian thatha’s father,” Jeyamohan revealed during an interview with Cineulagam.
Jeyamohan has co-written the film with Shankar, Kabilan Vairamuthu and Lakshmi Saravanakumar. It’s easily one of the most-awaited follow-up films among the fans of Tamil cinema. Indian was a smash hit not just in India but across the country in 1996. In the climax, Indian thatha escapes to a foreign country. And the film ends with him warning that he will return to the country and resume his violent crusade should people again indulge in corruption.
Indian 2 went on the floors in January 2019. The production was going on in full swing before it came to a grinding halt in February 2020 following a freak accident on the sets, which killed three crew members. Kamal and Shankar had earlier recalled how they escaped the accident just by a whisker.
The Covid-induced lockdown forced the filmmakers to put the project in cold storage. And the dispute between Shankar and the film’s production company Lyca Productions added to the film’s uncertainty. The production of the film was resumed after Red Giant Movies came on board as new producers.
The filmmakers haven’t announced their release plans. But, Indian 2 is expected to arrive in cinemas next year.
Besides Kamal, the film also stars Kajal Aggarwal, Rakul Preet Singh, Priya Bhavani Shankar, and Samuthirakani among others. | https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/tamil/kamal-haasan-is-starving-himself-indian-2-writer-b-jeyamohan-8323787/ | 2022-12-14T07:37:50 | en | 0.971802 |

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Nick Bonino scored for the fourth straight game, James Reimer won in his return from injury and the San Jose Sharks beat the Arizona Coyotes 3-2 on Tuesday night.
Tomas Hertl and Bonino scored in a span of 1:02 early in the first period to set the tone and help the Sharks win for only the third time in 10 games.
Nico Sturm added a goal in the second period as San Jose earned just its third victory in 15 games at the Shark Tank this season.
Reimer returned from a lower-body injury that had sidelined him since Nov. 25 and made 19 saves.
Lawson Crouse and Nick Bjugstad scored for the Coyotes, who were trying to match a season-high three-game winning streak. Karel Vejmelka stopped 30 shots.
The Sharks got off to a fast start, scoring twice in 62 seconds early in the first period.
Hertl started it when he deflected a point shot from Radim Simek past Vejmelka. Bonino made it 2-0 when he took a pass from Erik Karlsson in front and scored in his fourth consecutive game after going without a goal in his first 24 games this season.
The Coyotes cut it to 2-1 late in the period when Crouse scored on a two-man advantage.
Sturm scored his eighth of the season on a rebound midway through the second before Bjugstad cut it to 3-2 early in the third.
MILESTONE NIGHT
Sharks television play-by-play broadcaster Randy Hahn called his 2,000th regular-season game for the team. Hahn helped form the group Pro Hockey San Jose in the 1980s that helped bring an expansion team to the city in 1991. He started as a fill-in announcer that first year before eventually taking over as the full-time voice of the team.
INJURY REPORT
While Reimer made his return for the Sharks, forward Alexander Barabanov missed the game with a lower-body injury. Noah Gregor went into the lineup in his place. ... Sharks F Luke Kunin left in the first period with an undisclosed injury and didn't return.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday said it would consider a plea for early listing of submissions challenging the Centre’s decision to abrogate provisions of Article 370 which had given special status to Jammu and Kashmir.
“We will examine and give a date,” a bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justice P S Narasimha said when intervenor Radha Kumar, an academic and author, sought early listing of the petitions on the issue.
Earlier on April 25 and September 23, a bench headed by the then CJI N V Ramana, since retired, had agreed to list for hearing the pleas challenging the Centre’s decision to abrogate provisions of Article 370.
The apex court will have to re-constitute a five-judge bench to hear the pleas as ex-CJI Ramana and Justice R Subhash Reddy, who were part of the five-judge bench which had heard the pleas, have retired.
Besides the two former judges, Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul, B R Gavai and Surya Kant were part of the bench which, on March 2, 2020, had declined to refer to a larger seven-judge bench the batch of petitions challenging the constitutional validity of the Centre’s decision to abrogate provisions of Article 370 on August 5, 2019.
Several petitions challenging the Centre’s decision to abrogate provisions of Article 370 and the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, which split J-K into two Union Territories — Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh — were referred to a Constitution Bench headed by Justice Ramana in 2019 by the then CJI Ranjan Gogoi.
By abrogating Article 370, the Central government had revoked the special status of Jammu and Kashmir.
NGO, People’s Union of Civil Liberties (PUCL), Jammu and Kashmir High Court Bar Association, and an intervenor had sought referring of the matter to a larger bench on grounds that two judgements of the apex court — Prem Nath Kaul versus Jammu and Kashmir in 1959 and Sampat Prakash versus Jammu and Kashmir in 1970 — which dealt with the issue of Article 370 conflicted each other and therefore, the current bench of five judges could not hear the issue.
Disagreeing with the petitioners, the bench had said it was of the opinion that “there is no conflict between the judgements”. | https://indianexpress.com/article/india/sc-consider-pleas-challenging-abrogation-article-370-8324036/ | 2022-12-14T07:37:56 | en | 0.966915 |

Demodex are a family of eight-legged mites that live in the hair follicles and associated sebaceous or oil glands of many mammals.
Two species are known in humans – Demodex folliculorum, which lives mainly in hair follicles on our faces (especially eyelashes and eyebrows), and Demodex brevis, which sets up home in the oil glands on the face and elsewhere.
Newborns don’t have Demodex mites. In a study looking for them on adult humans, researchers could detect them visually in only 14 per cent of people.
However, once they used DNA analysis, they found signs of Demodex on 100 per cent of the adult humans they tested, a finding supported by previous cadaver examinations.
If they live all over humanity, the question arises – are these mites parasites or commensal (harmless) organisms, living in harmony with their unwitting hosts? And which of our daily habits, such as face washing and make-up application, can assist or hinder the mites’ survival? This is where it gets tricky.
Demodex mites are tiny. The larger of the two human species, D. folliculorum, is about a third of a millimetre long, while D. brevis spans less than a quarter of a millimetre. They also carry a range of bacterial species on their bodies.
A number of methods are used to directly detect mites. The best method is a skin biopsy involving a small amount of cyanoacrylate glue (superglue) on a microscope slide.
Cylindrical dandruff around infected hairs is characteristic of mites in residence due to their living habits. Mites can also be squeezed out of follicles with a zit extractor.
The mites feed on skin cells and sebaceous oils, which they predigest by secreting a range of enzymes. As they don’t have an anus, they regurgitate their waste products.
Ensconced in cosy follicle homes, the mites mate and lay eggs; after a lifespan of about 15 days, they die and decompose right there in the follicle.
These fairly disgusting habits may be one reason. Demodex can cause allergic reactions in some people, and might also explain a number of associated clinical effects.
Face mites can cause a range of problems. Unfortunately, recent studies suggest a number of conditions involving Demodex mites:
*A range of rashes
*Acne and pustules on the skin
*Blepharitis or inflammation of the eyelid
*Meibomian gland dysfunction – blockage of the oil glands on the eyelid, which can result in cysts
*Inflammation of the cornea itself
*Dry eyes and the formation of pterygium, a fleshy growth on the eye
There are other causes of these conditions, but mites are under increasing suspicion as to their contributing role.
However, not all of us have negative reactions to these creatures. Humans mate randomly, and our genetics are thus highly variable – when we are infected, our genes determine our immune and other responses. Some of us don’t react at all, some of us get an itch for a while, and some get chronic debilitating conditions.
Similarly, mite numbers vary between people – if they reproduce in high levels, they are more likely to lead to issues.
Interestingly, the conditions named above and mite numbers seem to increase with age and in immune-compromised patients, suggesting a correlation with decreased immune function. It appears our immune system is key to understanding mite reproduction and their clinical effects.
There are a number of therapeutic compounds that reduce mite numbers, but the consensus is that Demodex are a natural part of our skin flora, so it might be best not to eliminate them entirely.
When people suffer chronic disease, more robust treatment might be necessary against the mite population, although reinfection from human family members is highly likely.
Mites do not survive for long off their hosts. Other than direct contact, personal hygiene products probably present the main mechanism of cross-infection.
Sharing make-up brushes, tweezers, eyeliner and mascara is probably not a good idea, although avoiding infection in a shared bathroom might be difficult. In one study, the average survival time for Demodex in mascara was 21 hours.
Other aspects of make-up use, such as regular cleaning and washing of the face, may reduce mite numbers, although other studies suggest mites survive washing quite well.
Thus, it’s unclear how much you can affect your mite population. However, if you suffer any inflammation of the eyelids and nearby areas, avoiding make-up and seeking medical advice might be best.
Overall, as unpleasant as they might sound, Demodex appear to be a normal part of our skin flora. However, some of us do react negatively to their presence and suffer rashes and inflammation.
Controlling such reactions might be as easy as limiting mite numbers with a wash or treatment prescribed by a medical professional – just know that entirely getting rid of our mite friends is probably impossible.

CHICAGO (AP) — When it was over, when No. 800 was safely tucked away and Washington's fifth straight win was complete, Alex Ovechkin jumped on the ice one last time for another round of cheers.
Gordie Howe is next, and Wayne Gretzky is coming up very quickly.
Ovechkin scored three times to become the third NHL player with 800 career goals, and the streaking Capitals beat the lowly Chicago Blackhawks 7-3 on Tuesday night.
“It’s a big number,” Ovechkin said. “It’s the best company (you can) ever imagine since you started playing hockey.”
Ovechkin moved within one goal of Howe for second all-time. Gretzky has the record with 894 goals, but the 37-year-old Ovechkin is showing no signs of slowing down.
“I think once he’s going to be No. 1 he can have a sense of relief,” said Anthony Mantha, who had the primary assist on Ovechkin’s 800th goal. “Until then, I think he’s on the hunt, and that’s what we love about him.”
Mantha, Nic Dowd, Trevor van Riemsdyk and Dmitry Orlov also scored for Washington. Conor Sheary had two assists, and Charlie Lindgren made 26 stops.
The Capitals went 6-2-1 during a nine-game stretch that included only one home date. They play seven of their next nine at home, beginning Thursday night against Dallas.
“Now we just have to have a strong push before Christmas and then get the three days off,” forward Evgeny Kuznetsov said.
Chicago dropped to 1-11-1 in its last 13 games. It has scored just four goals during a four-game slide.
“I thought we battled back, but it’s Ovechkin," Blackhawks coach Luke Richardson said. “There were a couple of unfortunate bounces, and he makes you pay on those.”
Ovechkin scored on his first two shots, beating Petr Mrazek 24 seconds into the game before stuffing one home on a power play with 11:46 left in the first period. The winger then completed his 29th career hat trick when he knocked Mantha's pass over a sprawled Mrazek 6:34 into the third.
The rest of the Capitals jumped off the bench to celebrate after the milestone goal, and hats rained down on the ice from the crowd of 16,181 at the United Center. Fans then chanted “Ovi! Ovi!” — drawing a wave from Ovechkin.
“The fans here in Chicago were terrific, the way that they saluted him,” Washington coach Peter Laviolette said. “For him to get a hat trick on the road to get to 800 was just a special night.”
Ovechkin has seven goals in his last four games and a team-high 20 on the season. His previous four goals were all empty-netters.
“It’s mind blowing,” Chicago captain Jonathan Toews said. “How many guys can score goals at his rate in the season, let alone year after year after year? He’s one of a kind, for sure.”
Toews, Max Domi and Tyler Johnson scored for Chicago, and Mrazek finished with 23 saves.
It was Johnson's first game since Oct. 25. He had been sidelined by a right ankle injury.
HE'S BACK
Washington forward Dylan Strome played his first game back in Chicago since he signed a $3.5 million, one-year contract with the Capitals in July. He was traded from Arizona to Chicago in November 2018 and scored a career-high 22 goals for the Blackhawks last season.
“It's been really fun to play on this team,” Strome said. “There's incredible guys. Good coaching staff. Top to bottom, I think it's been a really, really easy transition for me.”
WORTH NOTING
Capitals center Lars Eller was scratched with an upper-body injury. He is day to day. ... Blackhawks forward Andreas Athanasiou missed the game because of a family funeral. ... Chicago assigned defenseman Filip Roos to Rockford of the American Hockey League. ... Capitals defenseman Erik Gustafsson returned to the lineup after he missed Sunday’s 5-2 win at Winnipeg with an upper-body injury.

Capitals: Host the Stars on Thursday night.

Her social media bios may just call her an actor, director, and atheist, but there are many other roles Konkona Sensharma plays in everyday life: that of a mother, a citizen, a woman, and more. But the one role that connects all the other roles, and that she thoroughly enjoys, is being a storyteller, something she is dabbling with at the moment and also having fun with it.
In an exclusive email interview with indianexpress.com, the Lipstick Under My Burkha actor talks about juggling the roles, her new project — being a podcast host, her love for storytelling, her interesting filmography, her sense of style, and much more. Read the edited excerpts below:
Tell us about your journey from an actor to a filmmaker and now a podcast host. Is it in sync with what you had planned?
You know, I never planned anything; including becoming an actor. Neither did I plan to become a filmmaker, a director, or a podcast host either. I think I am, perhaps, drawn to certain stories and sharing them. It doesn’t matter how it happens — as I am not even planning or strategising to make it happen. So, I think it’s something I’m naturally attracted to — some stories, sharing certain stories, sharing life experiences, connecting to other people in different ways, connecting to stories and people who are not necessarily represented and shown as much in mainstream formats of storytelling. As I said, I don’t think there’s any point in planning anything in life because there are too many other factors that get in the way. A lot of it is also luck; not to take away from anybody, including my own hard work or talent. But I think luck, unfortunately, or fortunately plays a big role in life and in work.

Tell us about the latest feather in your cap — that of a podcast host?
Honestly, I don’t see this as a feather in my cap as I am somebody who is a storyteller, or is drawn to storytelling, or just being involved in telling stories. I am medium agnostic, as they say because one has to, you know. I’ve been working for the last 20-23 years, and mediums change, formats change. We went from film to video, from big screen to small screen to OTT, and now podcast. But that doesn’t matter. What does is that you’re telling a story, one that you want to be involved with and connect to people. So, I don’t really see it as a feather in my cap. It’s just another way of connecting with people.
Interestingly, the topic you chose for the podcast is far from your body of work until now. Tell us about your sporty side.
I don’t think I have a sporty side at all! In fact, I’m not a very outdoorsy person. I do, I mean, follow enough of a sport to watch the cricket World Cup final or the football World Cup… I enjoy that. But, that’s more because it’s a community, a socio-cultural activity. This particular story, actually, is something that’s very tied up to my own cultural heritage, my own Bengali upbringing, and my childhood, and has a certain nostalgic value for me. That is how I connected to the story. So when Luminary came to me with ‘Barefoot Boys’, I was like, ‘Oh, I know the story’. I’ve kind of a bastardized version of it. So, I really benefited from the amount of research put into it, and I found out many more things that I didn’t necessarily know, to begin with. That is why I said, yes, I would love to be involved in telling the story.

What sports are you interested in; did you also play any sports as a child?
I was never really interested in sports too much, as I said earlier. So, I didn’t really play too many sports as a child. The only physical activity I would say that I have really connected with is yoga. That, too, developed, only properly in the last 10 to 12 years since my son was born. There’s no other sport that I really connected with. I mean, I love watching nice cricket — India-Pakistan final once in a while — or a big match, say a Brazil-Italy football match or something like that. But it’s not like I have fought for sport.
What role, according to you, does sports play in shaping one’s character/lessons one can learn from any sport?
I think sport does play a very important part in the life of an individual, particularly one that is growing and developing because of the discipline of it, because of learning to play a team sport, learning to work with other people. In life, a large determinant of success is actually getting along with other people, including those you may not necessarily like or may have a lot in common with. There are 8 billion people in the world or thereabouts, and some are going to be different from you. Hence, it’s very important to learn how to be able to navigate the world with people you like and those you don’t. So, I think, sport does play an important part in cultivating the mind in terms of training, discipline, and things like that.

Of the many roles you juggle, which one do you enjoy the most?
Very interesting question! I do think I juggle many roles — a mother, an actor, a filmmaker, a housewife, a citizen, a woman, an atheist, etc. and I think I am able to enjoy all of them is precisely because there are so many. If I was forced to do only one thing, I would not enjoy it. I think that variety, diversity is what keeps me so engaged because I find I’m a better mother, because I’m a working mother. For example, I think if I was at home with my child all the time it would be challenging in its own way. Also, I like that the work I do is kind of project-to-project based, which means things come to an end, new things begin, we meet new people etc…so that I like the quality!
We just cannot not ask you about your impeccable sense of style. What does fashion mean to you?
Thank you so much for saying I have an impeccable sense of style. But, I don’t know if I necessarily agree (laughs). I would say that sometimes I enjoy dressing up, sometimes I don’t. Like on some days I know what I’m feeling inside, say feminine, bold or strong and want to give off a certain vibe. But there are days I wish I could just put on a uniform, or say, track pants and not worry about expressing myself through my clothes. However, once in a while I do like to dress up and express myself creatively, but not necessarily every time that I have to dress up, do I enjoy it! Fashion is something one can buy and keep up with. I’m not necessarily interested in fashion. I think some people have an intrinsic sense of style, par of which is not really caring what other people think and being true to yourself. So, I hope I have more style than fashion.

How would you describe your pandemic experience? The one thing that kept you going in such gloomy times?
The pandemic experience was very interesting; I’ve never done as much housework as I did then, and that was really tough — living without any help or much social interaction. But I was very blessed because I had my younger sister, a live-in help who has been with me long term, and my son living with me. And I adopted a puppy. So, I actually had quite a blessed lockdown. I learned to embrace my own curly hair since the salons were shut. I learned how to parallel park really well in my building parking space…so those things really helped. I also read a lot, I watched a lot. I connected with friends and family on Zoom calls, something that’s become infrequent these days. So, I do have to say that there’s a lot I gained from that. But I also realised that I’m in a privileged minority, and not everybody had such a good experience. Of course, there were stressful times when me or my loved ones got COVID and how we survived that, but on the whole, I would say it’s been okay.
You have an interesting filmography. What is the most important thing for you when saying ‘yes’ to a role?
Thank you for saying I have an interesting filmography! I think the most important thing for me is firstly, instinct. Actually, its largely instinct and gut because, you know, luck does play a very big part. You cannot accurately predict how things will turn out because there are so many sets of complex factors which contribute to every event, right? Especially a big event like a film, which involves so many people, so much money, etc. So instinct in the sense that how well do I connect to the story that has been told? How well do I connect to the character that I’m supposed to essay? I often feel that I’m really a portal between the viewer, the audience and the character. So if I try to find a connect with the characters so that the viewer is able to as well, I also rely a lot on the director and the kind of understanding or rapport I have with the director because that’s the person who’s really going to realise the script, so to speak, and take important decisions. So I would see that they both go hand in hand.

Qatar is a small country with an area of little over 11,000 square kilometres and a tiny population. They are conducting the 22nd edition of the FIFA World Cup with unprecedented professionalism.
The Western media, especially from the UK — including the BBC — has been running a smear campaign against the World Cup from the start. There were numerous allegations, most of which cropped up instantly: Buying FIFA officials, bribing football fans, labour rights violations, LGBT rights, beer in the stadia –- every conceivable allegation, lacking any appreciation of the game, was delivered.
Qatar has remained cool; so have football fans. If anything, the racist propaganda by the British media generated a new sense of global solidarity with Qatar and the game of football. It is like the world has united, albeit temporarily, in the wonderful spirit of football.
Western countries are witnessing a rise in xenophobic politics, largely due to the presence of migrant workers. In Qatar, of the total population of 2.6 million, migrant workers make up 2.3 million, that is, 88 per cent — a frightening proportion of foreigners for any European country. They come from diverse countries such as India, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Sudan, Egypt and so on, with Indians alone outnumbering Qataris.
Several metropolises in the Gulf have a similar composition. Dubai, for example, has nine migrant workers for every citizen. Yet, there is harmony and peace in these cities, with the migrants celebrating their native microcultures. Millions of households around the world have built their fortunes from these cities, and for some countries, remittances from the Gulf are the largest source of foreign currency.
While the labour laws of countries like Qatar specify the minimum wages and set conditions of workers’ accommodation, vacation, end-of-service benefits and other provisions, there are times when these are violated, mostly as a result of recruiting agents creating unrealistic job agreements to process visa applications. The workers in their anxiety to land a job abroad do not pay attention to the agreement conditions, nor do they have helpful means to verify the details of the offers made. They pay hefty amounts to recruiting agents, often incurring debt. If and when the job agreement is breached, the workers are not able to access the courts, mainly due to language barriers. There is often little help from their respective embassies.
While the overwhelming majority of migrant workers go on legitimate contracts and build a career in the multicultural melting pots of the Gulf cities, even those who have labour issues tend to stay back, due mostly to the poverty back home. They gradually learn the language and the requisite survival tricks and eventually earn a decent living through small business, vendoring or office work, and in rare cases — become billionaires. There are hundreds of organisations of expat communities there, some of which help their compatriots in distress. But, more voluntary groups specialising in labour support would help.
While there were and still are genuine grievances, western propaganda didn’t find any traction within the worker communities in Qatar. An overwhelming majority of migrants and returned migrants from places like Kerala found the western racist media use them for their campaigns. The West takes issue with the success of a tiny non-western country hosting the World Cup, and doing it alone, with unprecedented fan engagement and euphoria around football.
As for racism, Qatar and the rest of the GCC are the only places where apartheid is surviving, indeed, thriving. A white man is paid four or more times higher than an Indian or Indonesian doing a similar job even if the latter is better qualified. There’s no law to this effect but this obscenity is protected through western interventions.
A similar story played out when South Africa was hosting the FIFA World Cup. Their buzzwords then were “race wars” and “crimes”. South Korea too was attacked when they held the World Cup tournament in partnership with Japan. Even UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s admiration of Qatar’s conduct of the World Cup was trashed by online British trolls, amplified by the mainstream media.
Meanwhile, Qatar has taken football to a higher level. The impressive infrastructure, impeccable organisation and wonderful hospitality have not only made this global event truly remarkable but also unleashed the full potential of football. The outstanding performance of African countries and victories of some Asian countries against European and Latin American giants have rewritten the equations in football, introducing much-needed diversity and multipolarity to the tournament. It is also a feat to see Africans — native and diasporic — bringing football stadia alive, regardless of which country is playing
It might be interesting to examine the real influence of the West on the government of Qatar. Let me mention a couple of anecdotes to illustrate this. For a year from 2007 to 2008, I served as an environmental advisor to the Qatar government’s main environmental agency, then called the Supreme Council for Environment and Natural Reserves. It was a beautiful workplace and I could do more work than I had expected. One such task was preparing a draft biosafety law, through a wide consultative process, to control living modified organisms and their products, in line with the Biosafety Protocol of the Convention on Biological Diversity. A newspaper prematurely reported on this. Two days later, the regional director of the US Agricultural Trade Office at the US Consulate General, Dubai, visited our office. He was accompanied by the Economic Officer of the US Embassy in Doha. They were trying to convince us not to go ahead with the biosafety law as the Codex Alimentarius (or “Food Code) of the FAO/WHO was good enough. We tried to convince them, in turn, that we were not serious about it and that we had a lot of other priority work.
The next day came the first secretary of the Japanese embassy in Doha, a fine gentleman who was keen to learn things. We told him that the Biosafety Protocol was in the best interest of Japan as the country imports a lot of food and that, unlike the US, Japan is a party to the Biodiversity Protocol; at the end of our conversation he was wondering why he was asked to visit us on that mission. The obvious answer was pressure from the US. I left the country a couple of months later. The biosafety law has not been decreed until now. That is the power the US wields there as they do in many other countries.
In India, I saw the Narendra Modi government declining presidential assent to the Bill passed by the Kerala Assembly to establish a tribunal to elicit compensation from the US multinational company, Coca Cola, for the massive ecological damage they have caused in Plachimada village, under US pressure.
I left the country on a similar manoeuvre by another western entity — the Shell oil giant of the UK. They wanted to undertake an oil related-operation in the biodiversity-rich Al-Reem Biosphere Reserve for which I had developed the conservation management plan. I recommended we reject the request by the company and my Qatari colleagues too concurred but eventually Shell had its way and I left the assignment there.
Constantly haranguing Qatar is a feature of western media now. However, the Doha football tournament has “united humanity”, as FIFA president Gianni Infantino observed. It is sheer joy, harmony and peace that is emanating from the multiple stadia and more importantly from the streets and the fans’ areas. And at homes and collective gatherings around the world. As a failed footballer, pained by the distance my country has from the World Cup, I wish the spirit of football and the beautiful solidarity generated by Doha last forever.

Some high school basketball scores provided by Scorestream.com, https://scorestream.com/ | https://www.expressnews.com/sports/article/Tuesday-s-Scores-17652832.php | 2022-12-14T07:38:27 | en | 0.655046 |
Virat Kohli stood there, staring at the spot where the ball that got him landed. As if he was trying to suss out why that piece of turf behaved differently from the rest of the square. He often does that. Many batsmen have had such mannerisms at dismissals. Sachin Tendulkar would squat really low when he was bowled to suggest the ball didn’t bounce as much as he anticipated. VVS Laxman’s eyes would open up like a sacrificial goat realising it was done and look pleadingly at the non-striker. Justin Langer would shake his head as if he was wronged even when the stumps lay flat behind him.
So, Kohli’s reaction is one thing; but the manner of his dismissal is a matter of concern. It was almost expected that this would happen in Bangladesh Tests; not just because of the surfeit of spinners on board but because of the recent past.
In 11 of his dismissals in India since 2020, spinners have got him 9 times; four times he has been trapped lbw. Twice in the Pink-ball Test this March against Sri Lanka, he was out lbw.
The ball at Chattogram turf landed on the leg and middle. Kohli went back but for some inexplicable reason morphed into the 1990’s batsmen from England who would be at sea on the dry subcontinental tracks. Like them, Kohli tried to turn the ball to the leg side, bat-face totally shut, and he froze as the ball turned past the bat to ping his back pad in front of the middle stump.
It’s not as if he hasn’t done any changes to his batting. He certainly has changed where he stands. In the years gone by he would take a middle and leg stump line but that changed earlier this year against Sri Lanka. It didn’t end well.
Against Sri Lanka, in that pink-ball Test, he was almost standing outside leg stump- the back leg would be in line with the leg-stump. Just like it was now against Bangladesh. He was out lbw to a left-armer spinner and right-arm off breaker in that second Test against Sri Lanka in March. In the first Test then, he was out bowled, again playing inside the line of a left-arm orthodox delivery.
Watching him then was Dinesh Karthik who would analyse it later on Cricbuzz. “I’m pretty surprised as to where he is standing in the crease. He is standing touch outside leg stump. And that you do when you are little worried about LBW. But that in many ways actually causes you more trouble the moment you stand outside leg stump because almost all balls you need to meet across. But when you stand in the middle or between middle and leg stump, there is a good chance that the balls that are drifting into you say the middle stump then you end up playing a lot straighter.
“The moment you stand outside leg stump, everything you do tends to go across and so the one that comes in has the potential to get you lbw. So that is one thing that I have been very surprised with the strategy he has used to play spin.
“Kohli over the years has consistently stood at middle or between middle and leg and that allows him to play with softer hands. And this mindset has come obviously because players who do not want to get lbw do that. And he wants to avoid that. Interestingly, in both the innings he got out lbw. Yes the ball kept a little low in the first innings but in the second innings I guess it was a touch and was a kind of delivery you play on it. The place Kohli stood on the crease is a hard place to bat on especially on these kinds of tracks,” Karthik said.
At Chattogram, against Bangladesh, Kohli was at a similar ‘hard’ place. And opened out further with the left leg outside the crease. The lbw, as DK says, seems to be on his mind. And just as Karthik said then, Kohli was forced to go across, tackling the ball away from the body. Sometimes, it has the resultant effect of making the bat-face shut early in the process, instead of pushing it straighter.
Despite his expression, it wouldn’t have been surprising that a ball turned just a bit from there. It was not a huge break; it just spun from leg and middle on to the middle stump – and yet his bat face was totally shut towards the leg side.
Gavaskar on playing spin
Sunil Gavaskar once held court to this newspaper about how to play spin. It was in particular reference to a devilish turning track of Bangalore 1987 – his last Test where he hit a masterful 97 against Pakistan. But the basics of that do hold.
“You only drove the deliveries on the middle- and leg-stump line. You didn’t want to drive him (left-arm spinner Iqbal Qasim) through covers as the bat-face would turn and you would be slicing the ball to slip. You want to play him with as much of a full bat-face as possible to negotiate any turn, and drive the ones on which you could reach the pitch of the ball.”
Incidentally that day in Bangalore on a crumbler against Qasim and Tauseef Ahmed, the off-spinner, Gavaskar had taken the leg-stump guard. But once you take that position, he said that conscious effort has to be made not to play across the line.
Gavaskar also dwelt on the back-foot play against spinners. “Everyone is on the forward-press movement these days. It’s not easy to work the backfoot from there. You just tend to transfer the weight back which does not get you in the right position to play. Back Foot means you are actively pressing back, gaining time and distance to manoeuvre the ball by creating your own length. Not just standing back. To play the cut shot, you have to actually use the depth of the crease.”
Why doesn’t Kohli go down the track?
Like many modern-day Indian batsmen, Kohli hardly goes down the track. He prefers to try using the depth of the crease behind. India coach Rahul Dravid could do both, and was particularly masterful in pressing right back to create his own length and time. But had Dravid gone back to this ball from Taijul Islam, he would have looked to punch/defend it towards mid-off. Not try turning to the leg side.
But why are the batsmen loathe to go down the track these days? Gavaskar has the answer.
“You need the confidence to go down the pitch. Pujara does it the most. In Australia, against Nathan Lyon, he took an off-stump guard and went down the track; that way he was confident that even if he missed, it would invariably hit him outside the line of the off-stump and avoid LBW. Also, it makes the bowler think, ‘Is he going to come down now’ and he might drop short. Rohit does it as he has a natural instinct to look for that opportunity to get the big shot going.
Most batsmen around the world just stand there at the crease and hit the ball into the stands with the modern-day bats. On turners, that’s not going to work. Unless you get close to the ball – either on attack or defence – you are going to get in trouble by staying in the crease. Look at the dismissals in this Test – most of them have been stuck at the crease. More than a lack of technique, it’s a lack of confidence,” Gavaskar said then.
It will be mighty interesting to see what changes Kohli adopts in the next innings. If he continues with the leg-stump guard, would he be more careful to play straighter? Or would he alter his stance to middle or middle-and-leg? | https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/why-did-virat-kohli-get-out-lbw-to-taijul-islam-what-cues-did-dinesh-karthik-pick-in-the-past-8323949/ | 2022-12-14T07:38:29 | en | 0.983216 |
Kylian Mbappe’s speed is one of his strengths and the Moroccan defence will have to be fleet-footed if they are to keep the French striker at bay. However, according to speeds recorded, Mbappe is only the eight fastest player at the 2022 World Cup. According to Marca, the 23-year-old French star’s fastest run was 35.19 kilometers and though this is good enough for him to be part of a sprint relay squad – Usain Bolt went at nearly 44 km – he is not the fastest in Qatar.
That title goes to Ghana’s Kamaldeen Sulemana who sprinted at 35.69 kilometers, as per The Athletic. Spain’s Nico Williams is second on the list with 35.59 km while Germany’s David Raum comes third (35.40km).
Interestingly Morocco’s Achraf Hakimi, the creative midfielder and a good friend of Mbappe is placed two positions above Mbappe at No.6. Hakimi, according to Marca, has sprinted at a speed of 35.29 kilometres.
The Moroccan defence, solid and impregnable so far in the tournament – the only goal they conceded was an own goal in the game against Canada – will have to keep Mbappe in check in the second semifinal. England managed to do so thanks to the doggedness of their full back Kyle Walker. Morocco will have to be wary of Olivier Giroud who is France’s all-time goal-scorer as well as play-maker Antoine Griezmann.
However, Mbappe finding space with the ball at his feet gives defenders a real scare. He may not be the fastest at the World Cup, but his five goals at Qatar 2022 has proven that speed is just one of his gifts. | https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/football/frances-kylian-mbappe-is-not-the-fastest-on-the-field-at-the-world-cup-8323892/ | 2022-12-14T07:38:35 | en | 0.975746 |
MILWAUKEE (AP) — A fan was ejected following a complaint by Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green during a game at Milwaukee on Tuesday night, and the Bucks said they are investigating the incident and consulting with the NBA.
Security personnel removed the man, who was sitting a few rows beyond the baseline, during a stop in play with 5:19 left in the third quarter.
The fan said “some threatening stuff to my life," Green said.
"I was this close to really going back and diving all the way in, but just went back and told the official. And when I told the official, he said, he’s got to get out of here.
“You just hope it gets to the point to where these leagues can work with legislators to implement laws, because that’s the only thing that’s going to ultimately correct the issue, is if you know something real is going to happen to you," Green said.
After Milwaukee's 128-111 win, the Bucks said in a statement: “Under the referee’s discretion, we are investigating the situation and we are conferring with the NBA.”
The 32-year-old Green scored two points and had six rebounds and seven assists in the loss. He is averaging nine points, six rebounds and seven assists for the reigning NBA champions.
Two weeks ago, Green was fined $25,000 by the NBA “for directing obscene language toward a fan." The situation occurred during the fourth quarter of Golden State's loss at Dallas on Nov. 29.

A NASA-led international satellite mission was set for blastoff from Southern California early on Thursday on a major Earth science project to conduct a comprehensive survey of the world’s oceans, lakes and rivers for the first time.
Dubbed SWOT, short for Surface Water and Ocean Topography, the advanced radar satellite is designed to give scientists an unprecedented view of the life-giving fluid covering 70% of the planet, shedding new light on the mechanics and consequences of climate change.
A Falcon 9 rocket, owned and operated by billionaire Elon Musk’s commercial launch company SpaceX, was set to liftoff before dawn on Thursday from the Vandenberg U.S. Space Force Base, about 170 miles (275 km) northwest of Los Angeles, to carry SWOT into orbit.
If all goes as planned, the SUV-sized satellite will produce research data within several months.
Nearly 20 years in development, SWOT incorporates advanced microwave radar technology that scientists say will collect height-surface measurements of oceans, lakes, reservoirs and rivers in high-definition detail over 90% of the globe.
The data, compiled from radar sweeps of the planet at least twice every 21 days, will enhance ocean-circulation models, bolster weather and climate forecasts and aid in managing scarce freshwater supplies in drought-stricken regions, according to researchers.
The satellite was designed and built at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) near Los Angeles. Developed by the U.S. space agency in collaboration with its counterparts in France and Canada, SWOT was one of 15 missions listed by the National Research Council as projects NASA should undertake in the coming decade.
“It’s really the first mission to observe nearly all water on the planet’s surface,” said JPL scientist Ben Hamlington, who also leads NASA’s sea-level change team.
One major thrust of the mission is to explore how oceans absorb atmospheric heat and carbon dioxide in a natural process that moderates global temperatures and climate change.
Scanning the seas from orbit, SWOT is designed to precisely measure fine differences in surface elevations around smaller currents and eddies, where much the oceans’ drawdown of heat and carbon is believed to occur. And SWOT can do so with 10 times greater resolution than existing technologies, according to JPL.
Oceans are estimated to have absorbed more than 90% of the excess heat trapped in Earth’s atmosphere by human-caused greenhouse gas emissions.
Studying the mechanism by which that happens will help climate scientists answer a key question: “What is the turning point at which oceans start releasing, rather than absorbing, huge amounts of heat back into the atmosphere and accelerate global warming, rather than limiting it,” said Nadya Vinogradova Shiffer, SWOT’s program scientist at NASA in Washington.
SWOT’s ability to discern smaller surface features also be used to study the impact of rising ocean levels on coastlines.
More precise data along tidal zones would help predict how far storm-surge flooding may penetrate inland, as well as the extent of saltwater intrusion into estuaries, wetlands and underground aquifers.
Freshwater bodies are another key focus SWOT, equipped to observe the entire length of nearly all rivers wider than 330 feet (100 meters), as well as more than 1 million lakes and reservoirs larger than 15 acres (62,500 square meters).
Taking inventory of Earth’s water resources repeatedly over SWOT’s three-year mission will enable researchers to better trace fluctuations in the planet’s rivers and lakes during seasonal changes and major weather events.
NASA’s SWOT freshwater science lead, Tamlin Pavelsky, said collecting such data was akin to “taking the pulse of the world’s water system, so we’ll be able to see when it’s racing and we’ll be able to see when it’s slow.”
SWOT’s radar instrument operates at the so-called Ka-band frequency of the microwave spectrum, allowing scans to penetrate cloud cover and darkness over wide swaths of the Earth. This enables scientists to accurately map their observations in two dimensions regardless of weather or time of day and to cover large geographic areas far more quickly than before.
By comparison, previous studies of water bodies relied on data taken at specific points, such as river or ocean gauges, or from satellites that can only track measurements along a one-dimensional line, requiring scientists to fill in data gaps through extrapolation.
“Rather than giving us a line of elevations, it’s giving us a map of elevations, and that’s just a total game changer,” Pavelsky said. | https://indianexpress.com/article/technology/science/nasa-swot-satellite-launch-8323831/ | 2022-12-14T07:38:41 | en | 0.933063 |
SEATTLE (AP) — Keion Brooks scored a career-high 30 points and Washington needed a second-half run to beat Cal Poly 74-68 on Tuesday night.
Washington (8-3) continued its season-long trend of being a strong second-half performer and a slow starter in the first half. The Huskies entered shooting 38% in the first half and 50% in the second. Against the Mustangs they shot 25% in the first and 66.7% in the second.
PJ Fuller II's 3-pointer with 10:31 left started a 12-0 run and turned a 51-44 deficit into a 56-51 lead with 6:47 remaining and Washington stayed ahead the rest of the way. Up to that point the Huskies never led for more than 83 seconds, which occurred early.
Cal Poly's (5-4) Trevon Taylor made a jump shot and a 3-pointer to end a 12-0 run early and Cal Poly maintained control for the rest of the first half. Nick Fleming's 3-pointer gave Cal Poly a 25-10 lead and it went to the half up 35-24.
Cole Bajema scored 13 points for Washington and Braxton Meah 11.
Chance Hunter and Taylor scored 13 apiece for the Mustangs.
This is the first meeting between the Huskies and Mustangs since 2016 and third overall.
Washington won by double digits in each of the previous two meetings, both in Seattle. The Huskies now are 5-5 all time against Big West opponents.
Cal Poly’s last victory against a Pac-12 Conference opponent came on Nov. 25, 2012 as the Mustangs overturned an 18-point deficit with 12 minutes remaining to hand then-No. 11 UCLA a 70-68 defeat.

5G is coming to a lot of cities in India, and chances are if you live in a Tier I or Tier II city, you already have 5G support or may get it sooner than you think. If you do happen to live in one of the supported areas and have a 5G supported iPhone, here’s how you can start using 5G on both Airtel and Jio networks.
With the new iOS 16.2 stable update now rolling out, iPhone 12-series, iPhone 13-series and iPhone 14-series phones along with the iPhone SE 2022 will get 5G support available. Here’s how to get started.
If you have an Airtel SIM with 5G support, and live in a 5G area, the process to get started is very simple. Since there is no trial program like Jio 5G, users can simply switch their network settings to 5G and start using Airtel 5G.
You can also use the Airtel app to check for 5G support on your device. However, this may not always be the most accurate way of going forward. Indianexpress.com notes that the app may show that your phone does not have the required 5G software even with the latest system updates installed.
You can switch to 5G by heading over to Settings> Mobile Data> Mobile Data Options> Voice & Data. Here, find the toggle to switch to 5G and you’re good to go. You should start seeing the 5G network indicator on your status bar immediately.
Jio is still conducting its 5G trials in many supported regions of the country, where 5G access is allowed only for select users. However, those who are a part of the ‘Jio 5G Welcome Program’ do get unlimited 5G speeds when they are in a 5G-supported area .The program is also now available to a lot more users since the past month.
To proceed, Jio users can open the MyJio app, where they will see a prompt to try out 5G services. Once you have signed up (just a few taps in the app), you will get a message from Jio in a few days alerting you of being absorbed into the program. You can find a more detailed guide on how to do this here.
Users will then need to recharge with a plan of Rs 239 and above to be eligible, and then they just need to switch their phone’s network to 5G to kick things off.
Once you have started using 5G on both Airtel and Jio, you can check your new speeds by heading to any speed testing website or app. | https://indianexpress.com/article/technology/techook/how-to-activate-airtel-5g-jio-5g-on-apple-iphone-5g-8323947/ | 2022-12-14T07:38:47 | en | 0.943912 |
With the onset of winter, Uttarakhand’s Auli, a top skiing destination, is witnessing a surge of tourists and adventure enthusiasts. The Indo-Tibetan Border Police has shared a video of how it had to lend assistance to a trekker from Delhi who suffered a leg fracture on his way up a hill.
The video shows the trekker being carried on a stretcher down the hill. Manoeuvring the rough terrain, the ITBP personnel are seen cautiously carrying the youngster and one of them is heard consoling the trekker saying an ambulance is waiting downhill.
The ITBP, in their tweet, said that the trekker was carried on a stretcher for 5 km from Gorson Bugyal at 11,500 feet to Field Hospital in Joshimath. “A trekker from Delhi was rescued by M & SI, ITBP, Auli from Gorson Bugyal (11,500 ft) to Field Hospital, Joshimath. #Himveers carried the trekker on a stretcher for 5 kilometres. The trekker was reported to have suffered a leg fracture while trekking with a group,” the ITBP said in a tweet, along with photographs of the rescue operation.

Since being shared on Instagram on Monday, the clip has amassed more than 27,000 views. The ITBP personnel earned plaudits for the rescue operation. A user commented, “Our superheroes.” Another user wrote, “Well done.” A third user commented, “Great work done @vinod da.”
In January last year, a man stranded on a cliff in Sikkim was rescued by the ITBP. After hours of strenuous efforts, the person was saved with minor injuries. An official told news agency ANI that the man had gone to repair a water pipeline behind the General Reserve Engineer Force camp in Lachung. | https://indianexpress.com/article/trending/trending-in-india/itbp-personnel-carry-delhi-trekker-on-a-stretcher-for-5-km-in-uttarakhands-auli-8323950/ | 2022-12-14T07:38:53 | en | 0.962117 |

Kyiv mayor reports explosions in center of Ukrainian capital
The mayor of Kyiv reported multiple explosions in the Ukrainian capital on Wednesday, the first such time in weeks during Russia's ongoing war against the country.
Related video above: US poised to approve Patriot missile for Ukraine
Vitali Klitschko wrote in a post on Telegram that there were explosions in a central district of the capital that is home to many government agencies and buildings. He said municipal teams were in place and more details were expected.
The reported blasts come as Ukraine has faced a barrage of Russian air strikes across the country, largely targeting infrastructure, in recent weeks as well as continued fighting along the front lines in the eastern and southern regions.
It was not immediately clear what the targets were, or whether civilian, administrative or military sites were the aim.
U.S. officials said Tuesday the United States was poised to approve sending a Patriot missile battery to Ukraine, agreeing to an urgent request from Ukrainian leaders desperate for more robust weapons to shoot down incoming Russian missiles.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy pressed Western leaders as recently as Monday to provide more advanced weapons to help his country in its war with Russia. The Patriot would be the most advanced surface-to-air missile system the West has provided to Ukraine to help repel Russian aerial attacks in the war between the countries that erupted with Russia's invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24.
U.S. officials also said last week that Moscow has been looking to Iran to resupply the Russian military with drones and surface-to-surface missiles.
Ukrainian authorities said that during the latest round of volleys on Dec. 5, more than 60 of 70 strikes were intercepted by air defense systems. Klitschko said Ukrainian forces shot down 10 self-explosive drones over Kyiv and the region Wednesday. | https://www.4029tv.com/article/kyiv-mayor-reports-explosions-center-ukrainian-capital/42236689 | 2022-12-14T07:40:00 | en | 0.978867 |

Wichita Falls pastor arrested for sexual assault of a child
WICHITA FALLS, Texas (KAUZ) - The pastor of a church in Wichita Falls was arrested on Dec. 9, 2022, for allegedly sexually assaulting an 11-year-old child.
66-year-old Paul Coleman was charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child and indecency with a child - sexual contact. Police said he is the pastor of Good Samaritan Outreach Ministries.
Officers were reportedly sent to United Regional on Dec. 1, 2022 in reference to a victim who had been sexually assaulted by Coleman. A forensic interview at Pasty’s House was then done with the victim on Dec. 8, 2022.
The victim told detectives she had been sexually assaulted by Coleman during the time that she and her family were members of the church, according to court documents. The family reportedly started attending the church in September of 2020, but then stopped going on Dec. 1, 2022, when the victim made an outcry.
During the interview, the victim reportedly described at least three different sexual assault incidents involving Coleman. She also told investigators Coleman threatened to kill her if she told anyone, according to court documents.
On Dec. 9 2022, the victim’s brother also completed a forensic interview, where he reportedly stated he witnessed Coleman sexually assaulting his sister. The brother then said Coleman told him not to tell anyone or else he would “do something” to him, according to court documents.
The victim’s father reportedly told investigators that the victim’s outcry to him matched what she said in the interview at Patsy’s House.
Coleman was arrested and remains jailed in Wichita County on bonds totaling $300,000.

Woman charged in deadly Killeen hit-and-run
KILLEEN, Texas (KWTX) - Chakria Dominique Lee, 35, is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in the Dec. 4 hit-and-run that claimed the life of Latasha Suzanna Brenda Wright, police announced on Monday, Dec. 12.
Officers were dispatched to the area near S. Fort Hood Road and West Lane to investigate the wreck shortly before 10 p.m. on Dec. 4.
They located the 39-year-old Wright suffering from serious injuries and started performing life saving measures until paramedics arrived.
Wright eventually succumbed to her injuries, police said, and was pronounced dead at the scene by Justice of the Peace Gregory Johnson at 10:43 p.m.
Police said the suspect driver fled the scene in a light-colored pickup.
The driver, now identified by police as Lee, later showed up at the police department to speak with detectives. A warrant was issued for her arrest shortly after that meeting, police said.
On Friday, Dec. 9, investigators and U.S. Marshals located Lee and took her into custody.
She was arraigned by Justice of the Peace Bill Cooke, and is currently being held in the Bell County Jail on a $1 million bond.

LINDENWALD — An event organized by a Lindenwald business leader is in its final season, but that doesn’t mean the hope the event provides to the area is going away.
Joy to the Wald, which allows folks to enjoy the Pleasant Avenue area of the community and to see Santa Claus, is set for Saturday. Children who go will be given a holiday gift.
“People look forward to the event each year … I get the feeling that some of these kids wouldn’t have a Christmas at all if it wasn’t for this little gift that they are going to get. ... And we just like doing that, making sure that everybody has Christmas. It’s a little bit more of a celebration than they might have if it was just left up to the home,” said Frank Downie, chair of Lindenwald’s neighborhood association, PROTOCOL, which stands for People Reaching Out to Others: Celebrating Our Lindenwald.
He said there’s always a “very good” response to the event and more than 200 gifts were given out last year. The majority of children are accompanied by a parent, grandparent or another family member. There’s also an outpouring of community volunteers who get involved to help put on the event.
Joy to the Wald, Christmas with Santa is going to be from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Heaven Sent, in the outdoor area next to the banquet hall on Pleasant Avenue. It is free to attend.
The event was founded by Debbie Doerflein of Heaven Sent more than 23 years ago.
Cookies and hot chocolate will be served. Guitarist Paul Underwood will also be playing live music inside at the shop.
“This is going to be our last one, because I’ve got my buildings up for sale. We’re going out as big as we can,” Doerflein said. “I just wanted it to be really good this year. We have a DJ, and we’re going to have a dance-off. We’re going to have a pet parade with the best costume. And, of course, we’ll have all of the presents we normally have, but this year we are not going to wrap them. We are going to let each child choose a gift, so they get what they want and they’re not disappointed when they get home.”
Doerflein has partnered with many individuals, organizations and businesses throughout the community, such as Walgreens and the Hamilton High Twelve Club to ensure the success of the event, which has drawn as many as 300 children.
“This is very bittersweet for me, so I wanted it to be perfect,” Doerflein said.
This year, local barber David Smith of Perfectly Blended Barbershop has donated 12 bicycles and helmets for kids. Children that attend will receive raffle ticket and winners will be selected to receive a bicycle and a helmet.
The reason Doerflein won’t again host Joy to the Wald is that she lost her husband, Dave, earlier this year, and she has put her businesses up for sale.
Downie said PROTOCOL hopes to memorialize the event and continue the tradition with some type of community event in the future.

Kyiv mayor reports explosions in center of Ukrainian capital
The mayor of Kyiv reported multiple explosions in the Ukrainian capital on Wednesday, the first such time in weeks during Russia's ongoing war against the country.
Related video above: US poised to approve Patriot missile for Ukraine
Vitali Klitschko wrote in a post on Telegram that there were explosions in a central district of the capital that is home to many government agencies and buildings. He said municipal teams were in place and more details were expected.
The reported blasts come as Ukraine has faced a barrage of Russian air strikes across the country, largely targeting infrastructure, in recent weeks as well as continued fighting along the front lines in the eastern and southern regions.
It was not immediately clear what the targets were, or whether civilian, administrative or military sites were the aim.
U.S. officials said Tuesday the United States was poised to approve sending a Patriot missile battery to Ukraine, agreeing to an urgent request from Ukrainian leaders desperate for more robust weapons to shoot down incoming Russian missiles.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy pressed Western leaders as recently as Monday to provide more advanced weapons to help his country in its war with Russia. The Patriot would be the most advanced surface-to-air missile system the West has provided to Ukraine to help repel Russian aerial attacks in the war between the countries that erupted with Russia's invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24.
U.S. officials also said last week that Moscow has been looking to Iran to resupply the Russian military with drones and surface-to-surface missiles.
Ukrainian authorities said that during the latest round of volleys on Dec. 5, more than 60 of 70 strikes were intercepted by air defense systems. Klitschko said Ukrainian forces shot down 10 self-explosive drones over Kyiv and the region Wednesday. | https://www.wbaltv.com/article/kyiv-mayor-reports-explosions-center-ukrainian-capital/42236689 | 2022-12-14T07:48:16 | en | 0.978867 |

Making kebabs from ground beef presents an opportunity and a problem. They can be boldly flavored from within by mixing spices and herbs into the meat. But getting them to stay put on skewers is tricky.
So, what if we got rid of the skewers altogether? In this recipe from our book "Tuesday Nights Mediterranean," which features weeknight-friendly meals from the region, we instead cook patties of spiced ground beef under the broiler. One side browns deeply as they cook, giving just enough open-fire flavor without worry that the meat will tumble off.
For the flavorings, we took inspiration from kebab hindi, which, despite its name, is a Levantine, not Indian, dish. Red onion, fresh cilantro, pine nuts, cinnamon, allspice and paprika are mixed into the beef.
Traditionally, the meat is baked in a tomato sauce, but we opted to cook them without the sauce to get more flavorful browning. We then use the same baking sheet to broil tomatoes and onion to form a chunky, relish-like sauce.
The sauce is seasoned with tangy ground sumac, which is sold in well-stocked supermarkets, spice shops and Middle Eastern grocery stores. If it's not available, simply squeeze a little lemon juice into the sauce while stirring in water after broiling.
Remember to keep the foil lining from the baking sheet in place after transferring the patties to a serving platter. That helps make cleanup a breeze after broiling the tomato-onion mixture.
These kebabs are delicious served with rice or flatbread.
Spicy Ground Beef Kebabs with Tomato-Sumac Sauce
Start to finish: 40 minutes
Servings: 4 to 6
1½ pounds 80 percent lean ground beef
1 large red onion, ½ finely chopped, ½ thinly sliced, reserved separately
¼ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro stems, plus ½ cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped, reserved separately
¼ cup pine nuts, chopped
1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1½ teaspoons ground allspice
4 teaspoons hot paprika or 3½ teaspoons sweet paprika plus ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
2 pints cherry or grape tomatoes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon ground sumac (see headnote)
Heat the broiler with a rack about 6 inches from the element. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. In a large bowl, combine the beef, chopped onion, cilantro stems, pine nuts, cinnamon, allspice, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and 1½ teaspoons pepper. Using your hands, mix well, then divide into 12 portions and shape each into a patty 2½ to 3 inches in diameter; arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Broil the patties until well browned on top and the centers hit 160 degrees Fahrenheit, from 7 to 9 minutes. Using a wide metal spatula, transfer to a serving platter and cover with foil. Discard any residual liquid on the baking sheet; set aside the baking sheet with foil lining.
In a medium bowl, toss together the sliced onion, tomatoes, oil, sumac, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Distribute in a single layer on the baking sheet and broil until the tomatoes burst and the onions char, from to 6 minutes.
Using the back of a fork, crush the tomatoes to form a chunky sauce. Add 2 tablespoons water to the baking sheet and stir gently to combine, then taste and season with salt and pepper. Spoon the sauce over the patties. Sprinkle with cilantro leaves and drizzle with additional oil.

Muggles in Jacksonville may not have received a letter to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but they can see the school at the Jacksonville Area Museum.
A 25,000-piece Lego structure is one of the entries in the museum's Lego exhibit and features the entirety of the caste, greenhouses and some of the grounds.
Building Nick Little, who is a museum board member, said he has always been an big "Harry Potter" fan.
"I fell in love with the 'Harry Potter' franchise and I loved the castle itself," Little said. "I'm a huge architecture fan and I enjoyed finding all the nooks and crannies. I love all the archways and towers."
Hogwarts was the magical school where Harry Potter and his friends learned magic and was a dream for many fans who wished to receive their own letters to the school.
Hogwarts scenes were filmed at Alnwick Castle in England for the first two movies, with other scenes filmed throughout Europe. A model version has also been created at Universal Studios in Florida for visitors to walk through the halls of the school.
The Lego model is a miniature version of the castle.
"I tried to picture myself walking through the Great Hall or the clock tower," Little said. "I mean, who wouldn't want to have a meal in the Great Hall. I think that would be so fun."
Little spent a few weeks to piece together the main structure of the Harry Potter world.
"The first bit [the main castle] was an authorized Lego kit, so it was sorted and everything," Little said. "That took a few days around work to complete. The rest took a couple of weeks. They were unofficial expansion kits, so they were all Lego bricks, but the kit isn't produced by the Lego company."
During the creation, Little said one of the most difficult things was to find the space to do it all. Since there were more than 25,000 pieces in the model, he said it took up a lot of space to piece together.
"I pretty much did it on the floor of my living room," Little said. "It was a chaotic mess for awhile," Little said.
Little said when he started building the castle, he had no idea what he was going to do with the finished product. The museum officials had previously discussed doing something with Legos, but hadn't decided what. Then the idea came to display Lego models and builds.
He said he was terrified while moving it from his home to the museum. Since he couldn't us the levitation spell "Wingardium Leviosa" he had to move the castle in sections to the table that is holding his display.
The display is roughly 3 feet by 5 feet.
Hogwarts is just one of the displays in the exhibit. There are original kids pieces and other kits. The exhibit will be available to see through Feb. 4. The museum is open 10 a.m.-4 p,m. Wednesdays and Saturdays and 1-4 p.m. Sundays. | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Building-magic-Jacksonville-man-builds-25-000-17651054.php | 2022-12-14T07:54:57 | en | 0.99075 |
Jelly doughnuts, also known as sufganiyot, have become a classic Hanukkah treat, one of a number of foods fried in oil that are popular for the holiday. (Latkes, or potato pancakes, are another.)
They're doughnuts without a central hole, fried and stuffed with jelly or jam. In Israel, jelly doughnuts for Hanukkah are especially popular, and sometimes also are filled with chocolate or halvah. They also can be prepared in savory versions, stuffed with meat or vegetables.
The story goes that more than 2,000 years ago, after the Second Temple of Jerusalem was ransacked by invaders, there was only enough oil to keep the temple candles lit for one day and night. Inexplicably, the oil burned for eight days and eight nights, a feat now celebrated as Hanukkah, the eight-day "festival of lights." (This year, Hanukkah begins Sunday evening.)
There are two ways to fill jelly doughnuts. You can fill them before frying (the jelly is sandwiched between two disks of yeast dough, sealed and fried). Or you can fry them first and then inject them with filling, which is what I do here. This technique removes the risk of not-properly-sealed doughnuts coming apart in the pan and leaking their filling.
The traditional yeast dough used to make doughnuts requires two risings, one for the ball of dough itself and the other for the shaped doughnuts before they are fried. Both risings are necessary for light and fluffy doughnuts.
You can use any type of jam you like; strawberry and raspberry jelly are popular.
Jelly Doughnuts
Serves 16
1 (.25-ounce) package active dry yeast or 1 tablespoon dry yeast
¾ cup warm milk (about 100 degrees Fahrenheit)
¼ cup melted butter
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup sugar
1 large egg and 1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
2 ½ to 3 cups all-purpose flour, divided
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, mace or cinnamon
Vegetable oil for frying
¾ cup jam or jelly, any flavor
For the coating:
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Generously flour a clean work surface and lightly oil a medium-size bowl.
In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, add the warm milk, then sprinkle the yeast over the milk. Using an electric mixer, or the dough hook for a stand mixer, stir to dissolve and allow it to sit until it gets foamy, about 10 minutes. Add the butter, salt and sugar, and stir or blend to combine.
Blend in the egg and egg yolk, then beat in 2 cups of the flour. Beat until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl, then beat in another ½ cup of the remaining flour plus the nutmeg, mace or cinnamon.
When the batter has formed into a cohesive ball, turn it onto the floured work surface and knead the dough for 2 minutes. Add more flour as needed if the dough feels too sticky. Form the dough into a ball and place in the oiled bowl. Cover with a dishtowel or plastic wrap and let sit in a warm, draft-free place until the dough has doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
Clean and re-flour your work surface. Turn the dough onto the floured surface and roll it out with a floured rolling pin to a ½-inch thickness.
With a 3-inch biscuit or cookie cutter, cut as many rounds as you can, minimizing the space between each round. Gather the scraps, let them sit for another 15 minutes, then roll the dough out again, and cut as many more circles as possible. Place the circles on a very lightly floured baking sheet with a couple of inches between each doughnut, cover with a clean dishtowel or loose plastic wrap, and let sit for about 1 hour, until they are quite puffy, about 1 inch thick.
About 15 minutes before you are going to fry the doughnuts, place paper towels on a clean surface. Make the sugar coating: In a shallow bowl, mix together the 1 cup sugar with the cinnamon. Pour at least 2 inches of oil into a deep skillet or pan over medium heat. Heat to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Use a spatula to transfer two or three doughnuts into the pan. They will rise and bob on the surface; fry for about 1 minute, until golden brown on the underside, then flip them and cook until the second side is golden brown, another 1 to 2 minutes. You can occasionally gently press the doughnuts down into the oil to cook the sides evenly. Remove the doughnuts, allowing excess oil to drain back into the pan, and let them rest for a minute on the paper towels.
Then place them in the bowl with the sugar coating and turn to coat completely.
Use a chopstick or wooden dowel to poke a hole into the side of each doughnut, giving it a wiggle as you slide it in to create a small pocket in the center of the doughnut. Fill a pastry bag or sturdy plastic bag with the jelly. If you are using a plastic bag, cut a very small triangle from one of its bottom corners. Insert the pastry bag or snipped corner of the plastic bag into the hole on the side of the doughnut. Gently squeeze a couple of teaspoons of jelly into the middle of the doughnut. Remove the bag carefully from the doughnut and repeat until all the doughnuts are filled.

It may be a bit of a last-minute thing, but MacMurray College alumna Erin Geering only recently realized what was missing from her holiday season.
Once she did, Geering quickly set about organizing a Zoom-based virtual version of the former college’s “Lessons and Carols.”
“It used to be by candlelight,” Geering said of the Advent vespers service that was held in the college’s Annie Merner Chapel on campus. “This can’t be by candlelight … but it was inspired by that. It’s a hybrid. And, in the future, I’d like to have something so people can be there in person.”
The virtual event will be at 5 p.m. Friday. Those wanting to attend — it’s open to anyone, not just those with a MacMurray connection — can register at bit.ly/3WclzxR and Geering will provide a link to the program.
The lineup will include dulcimer music by Mike Anderson, poetry readings by retired MacMurray professor Robert Seufert and scripture readings by Tiffany Pitman-White, Geering said.
The MacMurray program is high on the list of things Geering misses about her alma mater, she said.
“It’s definitely (part of) what I miss about MacMurray,” Geering said. “It was the perfect time,” providing a bit of calm after the hectic rush of finals ahead of Christmas break.
While Geering wishes her event could be held in Annie Merner Chapel and offer that in-person connection, she’s looking forward to what she has been able to organize in a fairly short time.
“Even if we can’t physically be in the same place, I was hoping we could make this a part of our Christmas,” she said. | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/MacMurray-alum-revisits-Lessons-and-Carols-17651161.php | 2022-12-14T07:55:10 | en | 0.966942 |
Though the county saw the closure of one major murder trial this year, the new year will move forward with several pending court cases that are lingering as both the state's attorney and the defendant attorneys prepare for trial.
This year, the Morgan County courts saw the closing of the trial for Dustin A. Finlaw who was convicted of first-degree murder in the stabbing death of Robert. L Utter, 42, in Meredosia in the early morning hours of May 24, 2018.
Finlaw faced a jury trial the final week of January and received a guilty verdict on Jan. 31. In June, he was sentenced to 40 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections.
however, despite that trial finishing, the county still have two first-degree murder trials waiting, with several other homicide-related cases pending.
State's Attorney Gray Noll said the county is expecting to move forward and see trial in several cases in 2023.
Joshua E. Wilson, 39, of Jacksonville is expected to see trial in early 2023, Noll said.
Wilson has pleaded not guilty in the death of Malcolm V. Fitts, 26, of Chicago. Fitts is originally from Jacksonville and was visiting Feb. 28, 2021, when he was shot at 5:30 a.m. in the 800 block of Hoagland Boulevard. He died at the hospital about an hour later.
Noll said Wilson was originally set for trial this month, however, Wilson's attorney asked for a continuance.
"The defense has requested a continuance as they are seeking some additional evidence," Noll said. " The state has turned over all the relevant video surveillance that we have, however the defendant has requested additional hours of video. My expectation is that this will be a trial, likely in early 2023."
Wilson is currently scheduled for a pre-trial conference at 2 p.m. Jan. 20.
The three defendants facing charges in connection with the October 2020 homicide of Robert J. “Joey” Schofield, 32, of Nortonville also will return to court in coming months.
Kenneth J. Acree, 37, of Nortonville is scheduled to appear in court for a status hearing at 2 p.m. Jan. 27. He is facing first-degree murder charges and concealment of a homicidal death.
Schofield disappeared, prompting a wide search near Nortonville. His body later was found in a cornfield.
"There has been a variety of discovery exchanged and the state has recently received some information back from a variety of search warrants, so I believe all the discovery has finally came in," Noll said. "I believe we will be in a position to go to trail in early to mid-2023.
Two others are also still facing charges in Schofield's death.
Sara M. Schofield, 31, of Nortonville was charged with concealment of a homicidal death and obstructing justice in the investigation into her husband's death. She is scheduled for a pre-trial conference at 9 a.m. Jan. 4.
Ken Acree's wife, Laura C. Acree, 37, will next appear on Feb. 7 at 1:30 p.m. She was charged with concealment of a homicidal death and obstructing justice in the Oct. 2020 death.
Other cases that are pending:
Michael O. Bailey, 49, of Jacksonville is awaiting trial in the Sept. 5, 2021 death of Edwina “Kris” Teubner, 58, of Jacksonville.
Bailey was charged with reckless homicide, concealment of a homicidal death and failure to report an accident involving death after Teubner was found unresponsive on the grounds of Prairie Land Heritage Museum.
He is set for a pre-trial at 1:30 p.m. Feb. 8.
"I can't predict if or when he will be tried," Noll said. "We have had multiple conversation about possible resolutions, but nothing has been worked out yet."
Edward E. Baldwin III, 31, of Jacksonville is facing charges of leaving the scene of an accident involving death or injury and failing to report an accident with injuries. He was charged after leaving the South East Street scene where his vehicle and a motorcycle being ridden by Richard Jackson Gregory collided in April 2021; Gregory later died.
Baldwin is set to appear in court at 1:30 p.m. Jan. 11.
"We are in the process of negotiating a possible resolution," Noll said.
Noll said these cases do take time, however, they are working to find resolutions or trial as soon as they can. | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Morgan-court-cases-continuing-into-the-new-year-17648663.php | 2022-12-14T07:55:16 | en | 0.979071 |

If all goes as planned, Starbucks will be part of the lineup of coffee sellers in Jacksonville by October.
First reading of a petition to rezone the property at 1110 W. Morton Ave. as well as a site plan for the coffee shop was approved Monday by City Council. The plans were given the go-ahead Dec. 7 by the Jacksonville Plan Commission. A special-use permit is necessary for the drive-through lane.
The store would be next door to a new Taco Gringo, which is planned for 1108 W. Morton Ave.
The Jacksonville store will be a typical Starbucks, said Mark Wilhoite, executive vice president of development of Compton Addy Real Estate Development of Cincinnati. The building will be about 2,400 square feet and retain the same appearance and branding as other Starbucks.
"The Jacksonville market is attractive. We have site selection folks who look at these markets to see where the coffee drinkers are," Wilhoite said. "We are filling in our secondary markets and Jacksonville fits into that. We don't have a lot of competition among national coffee-sellers here."
Wilhoite said Starbucks is pushing to get into smaller mid-sized markets like Jacksonville.
"Springfield has been developed, and the stores there are doing well, so they spin off from there. Starbucks is doing a lot of that in Ohio and Kentucky, too. They need more units, so they are trying to get more stores open, especially in 2023," Wilhoite said.
After site plan and special-use permit gets final approval, which should come at the next council meeting, the only hurdle is working with the Illinois Department of Transportation on a traffic study and to verify access points. Wilhoite said the goal is to start construction no later than mid-March so it could open by October.
"We hope to have permits and access requirements done by mid-January, then start construction, depending on the weather, in February or March. Mid-March would be a great target to hit. Once construction starts, it takes about five months to build the shell of a store. Starbucks comes in and finishes the interior," Wilhoite said.
Compton Addy is a preferred developer for many tenants, including Starbucks and Chipotle. The company buys the ground, get permits and site plans, then builds it. It operates mostly in the Midwest, though Wilhoite said they are moving into the Carolinas and Florida because of tenant's desires.
"Most of the time we end up selling the stores. We like to get in and out, and sell it once we're done," Wilhoite said. "We own a few, but mostly it's in and out. Starbucks are kind of a no-risk deal."
The company will start recruiting employees in the summer. He said there are usually 20 to 25 employees for each store.
Wilhoite singled out Community Development Director Brian Nyberg and the city of Jacksonville for helping Compton Addy through the process.
"They have been great to work with," Wilhoite said. "Smaller markets really embrace new businesses, and it makes it easier on us. I think Starbucks will do phenomenally well in Jacksonville." | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Starbucks-aiming-at-October-opening-in-17651245.php | 2022-12-14T07:55:32 | en | 0.970612 |
You saw it at Thanksgiving, and you'll likely see it at your next holiday feast: piles of unwanted food — unfinished second helpings, underwhelming kitchen experiments and the like — all dressed up with no place to go, except the back of the refrigerator. With luck, hungry relatives will discover some of it before the inevitable green mold renders it inedible.
U.S. consumers waste a lot of food year-round — about one-third of all purchased food. That's equivalent to 1,250 calories per person per day, or $1,500 worth of groceries for a four-person household each year, an estimate that doesn't include recent food price inflation. And, when food goes bad, the land, labor, water, chemicals and energy that went into producing, processing, transporting, storing and preparing it are wasted, too.
Where does all that unwanted food go? Mainly underground. Food waste occupies almost 25% of landfill space nationwide. Once buried, it breaks down, generating methane, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. Recognizing those impacts, the U.S. government has set a goal of cutting food waste in half by 2030.
Reducing wasted food could protect natural resources, save consumers money, reduce hunger and slow climate change. But as an agricultural economist and director of the Ohio State Food Waste Collaborative, I know all too well that there's no ready, elegant solution. Developing meaningful interventions requires burrowing into the systems that make reducing food waste such a challenge for consumers, and understanding how both physical and human factors drive this problem.
Consumers and the squander sequence
To avoid being wasted, food must avert a gauntlet of possible missteps as it moves from soil to stomach. Baruch College marketing expert Lauren Block and her colleagues call this pathway the squander sequence.
It's an example of what economists call an O-ring technology, harking back to the rubber seals whose catastrophic failure caused the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster in 1986. As in that event, failure of even a small component in the multistage sequence of transforming raw materials into human nutrition leads to failure of the entire task.
MIT economist Michael Kremer has shown that when corporations of many types are confronted with such sequential tasks, they put their highest-skilled staff at the final stages of production. Otherwise the companies risk losing all the value they have added to their raw materials through the production sequence.
Who performs the final stages of production in today's modern food system? That would be us: frenzied, multitasking, money- and time-constrained consumers. At the end of a typical day, we're often juggling myriad demands as we try to produce a nutritious, delicious meal for our households.
Unfortunately, sprawling modern food systems are not managed like a single integrated firm that's focused on maximizing profits. And consumers are not the highly skilled heavy hitters that Kremer envisioned to manage the final stage of the complex food system. It's not surprising that failure — here, wasting food — often is the result.
Indeed, out of everyone employed across the fragmented U.S. food system, consumers may have the least professional training in handling and preparing food. Adding to the mayhem, firms may not always want to help consumers get the most out of food purchases. That could reduce their sales — and, if food that's been stored longer degrades and becomes less appetizing or safe, producers' reputations could suffer.
Three paths to squash the squandering
What options exist for reducing food waste in the kitchen? Here are several approaches.
• Build consumer skills.
This could start with students, perhaps through reinvesting in family and consumer science courses — the modern, expanded realm of old-school home economics classes. Or schools could insert food-related modules into existing classes. Biology students could learn why mold forms, and math students could calculate how to expand or reduce recipes.
Outside of school, there are expanding self-education opportunities available online or via clever gamified experiences like Hellman's Fridge Night Mission, an app that challenges and coaches users to get one more meal a week out of their fridges, freezers and pantries. Yes, it may involve adding some mayo.
Recent studies have found that when people had the opportunity to brush up on their kitchen management skills early in the COVID-19 pandemic, food waste declined. However, as consumers returned to busy pre-COVID schedules and routines such as eating out, wastage rebounded.
• Make home meal preparation easier.
Enter the meal kit, which provides the exact quantity of ingredients needed. One recent study showed that, compared to traditional home-cooked meals, wasted food declined by 38% for meals prepared from kits.
Meal kits generate increased packaging waste, but this additional impact may be offset by reduced food waste. Net environmental benefits may be case specific, and warrant more study.
• Heighten the consequences for wasting food.
South Korea has begun implementing taxes on food wasted in homes by requiring people to dispose of it in special costly bags or, for apartment dwellers, through pay-as-you-go kiosks.
A recent analysis suggests that a small tax of 6 cents per kilogram — which, translated for a typical U.S. household, would total about $12 yearly — yielded a nearly 20% reduction in waste among the affected households. The tax also spurred households to spend 5% more time, or about an hour more per week, preparing meals, but the changes that people made reduced their yearly grocery bills by about $170.
No silver bullets
Each of these paths is promising, but there is no single solution to this problem. Not all consumers will seek out or encounter opportunities to improve their food-handling skills. Meal kits introduce logistical issues of their own and could be too expensive for some households. And few U.S. cities may be willing or able to develop systems for tracking and taxing wasted food.
As the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine concluded in a 2020 report, there's a need for many solutions to address food waste's large contribution to global climate change and worldwide nutritional shortfalls. Both the United Nations and the U.S. National Science Foundation are funding efforts to track and measure food waste. I expect that this work will help us understand waste patterns more clearly and find effective ways to squelch the squander sequence.

‘Our entire world’: Brother and sister killed in fire at Pa. home
SEWICKLEY, Pa. (WPXI) - A fire broke out at a Pennsylvania home in the early morning hours, killing the two children who lived there.
Lyric Keys, 9, and her 6-year-old brother, Jack Wylde Lightner, were killed early Tuesday morning in a fire at their home in Sewickley, Pennsylvania.
“They were amazing, smart, kind kids. They lit up every room they were in. They are our entire world,” said the children’s father, Robbie Linn.
Neighbor Tom Pastore says he saw flames coming from the house just before 3 a.m.
“I started hearing loud pops, sort of like fireworks, and then, I would hear screaming,” Pastore said. “I saw the house was on fire… My first thoughts were the children. They’re innocent, the little kids. I was praying for them.”
Firefighters were able to pull the siblings from the home, but they didn’t make it.
Their mother survived by jumping from the second floor. She suffered burns and is in the hospital.
“It’s a tragedy for a mother to lose her children,” Pastore said.
At a Tuesday night vigil, family friends remembered Lyric, who celebrated her 9th birthday just last week, as a little girl who always found the beauty in life. Her brother, Wylde, was nonverbal until recently, according to loved ones.
It’s unclear what sparked the fire, but Sewickley Fire Chief Shayne Quinn says he encourages everyone to check their smoke alarms and make sure they have working batteries.

Russia has sourced at least $2.6 billion in computer components and electronics in the months since falling under Western tech sanctions for its invasion of Ukraine, Reuters reported Tuesday, citing purchased Russian customs records.
Semiconductors and other technology arrived in Russia between April and Oct. 31 via Hong Kong and Turkey — which have not joined U.S. and EU export restrictions — as well as EU member Estonia.
U.S. companies like Intel, AMD and Texas Instruments accounted for at least $777 million of the imported products.
Intel, AMD and Texas Instruments said they have not shipped products to Russia in compliance with sanctions and export controls.
Reuters reported this summer that Western chips had been found inside Russian missiles and weapons systems collected from the battlefield in Ukraine.
The U.S. Commerce Department estimates Russia’s access to semiconductors has been slashed by nearly 70% since the start of the invasion.
However, Reuters said its review of the purchased customs records from three commercial providers showed the declared value of semiconductor imports has “risen sharply” since Moscow invaded Ukraine.
The data showed “an active roster of substitute players ready to replace” companies restricted from exporting sensitive high-tech components to Russia, Reuters said.
“It is no surprise that Russia is working hard to circumvent controls,” a Commerce Department spokesperson told the news agency.
The European Commission said it “takes EU circumvention very seriously, as it is a practice that can undermine the effectiveness of EU sanctions.”
The Kremlin and Russia’s Industry and Trade Ministry did not respond to requests for comment.
Reuters carried out the investigative report with the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), a London-based defense think tank. | https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2022/12/14/russia-sources-sanctions-busting-26b-in-tech-since-invading-ukraine-reuters-a79693 | 2022-12-14T08:03:45 | en | 0.965509 |
The Pentagon is finalizing plans to send Patriot missile batteries that can shoot down incoming missiles to Ukraine, U.S. media reported Tuesday.
As Russia has ramped up missile strikes on key Ukrainian infrastructure, the administration of President Joe Biden could announce the deployment as early as this week, U.S. officials told The New York Times and CNN.
Ukraine's air defenses have played a key role during Russia's invasion, but with Moscow stepping up strikes on energy infrastructure as it faces growing losses on the ground, Kyiv has repeatedly pressed other countries — especially the United States — for the Patriot system.
The U.S. Army describes Patriot — which consists of multiple parts including a radar, a control station, power generating equipment and up to eight launchers — as its "most advanced air defense system."
While dozens of personnel are assigned to a battery, only three are required to operate it in combat.
The U.S. Army's first Patriot battalion was activated in 1982, but the system was not used in combat until 1991 during Operation Desert Storm, the international air and ground offensive against Iraqi forces who had invaded Kuwait.
Patriot has intercepted more than 150 ballistic missiles in combat since 2015, and has also undergone more than 3,000 ground and 1,400 flight tests, primary contractor Raytheon says.
When Russia invaded in February, Ukraine's air defenses largely consisted of Soviet-era planes and missile systems, which Kyiv used effectively to deny Moscow air superiority.
They have since been significantly augmented: the United States provided NASAMS and Germany offered IRIS-T — two advanced systems — while older equipment such as the S-300 and HAWK systems and Stinger missiles have also been donated. | https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2022/12/14/us-plans-to-send-patriot-missiles-to-ukraine-media-a79692 | 2022-12-14T08:03:51 | en | 0.974369 |

Haryana government to waive interest on pending property tax till Dec 31
With an estimated Rs 1,000 crore outstanding payment, property owners or occupiers have been asked to deposit the tax before December 31, 2022, under the House Tax Interest Waiver Scheme implemented by the government in urban areas.
CHANDIGARH: Haryana's Urban Local Bodies Minister Kamal Gupta on Tuesday said the state government will give a waiver on payment of interest on pending property tax till December 31.
With an estimated Rs 1,000 crore outstanding payment, property owners or occupiers have been asked to deposit the tax before December 31, 2022, under the House Tax Interest Waiver Scheme implemented by the government in urban areas.
Under this scheme, complete interest is being waived on the outstanding house tax amount, Gupta told reporters here.
He said that earlier only 25 per cent people used to deposit property tax, but with the creation of property IDs, now all people would pay the tax to the urban local bodies department.
The minister said that after mapping and surveys, more than 42.70 lakh properties have been identified for property tax in urban areas. Out of this, property IDs of about 33 lakh have been made.
According to Gupta, more than 23.50 lakh new properties were identified after the survey. Of these, 1.98 lakh objections were registered.
"Out of these, one lakh objections were resolved and 60,000 objections were cancelled and 30,000 are pending. The officers below the rank of District Municipal Commissioner have been given the powers to remove these objections so that they can be resolved quickly," he said.
Gupta said that the process of regularising illegal colonies developed in different cities of the state is going on.
"During the survey, 2,237 illegal colonies have been identified. Of these, there are 1,399 colonies in the urban body area. Through the Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs), the government has called for applications to regularise these illegal colonies.
"So far, proposals for applications of 66 colonies have been received through RWAs. These colonies will be regularised soon," he said.
The government had decided to mark the parking areas at crowded places in the cities. The minister said that this is showing positive results and now people going to urban areas are parking their vehicles at designated places only.
"Marking will be done at designated places for parking of vehicles at public places like government offices, banks, schools etc. In eleven cities -- Gurugram, Faridabad, Yamunanagar, Panipat, Karnal, Rohtak, Hisar, Panchkula, Sonipat, Manesar and Ambala -- a target has been set to create marking places for parking 1.20 lakh two-wheelers and four-wheelers," he said.
Under the 'Mukhyamantri Shehri Nikaya Swamitva Yojna', the state received 7,077 applications to give ownership rights to tenants of houses and shops in urban areas residing there for more than 20 years.
"Out of these, ownership rights have been given to 1,761 and 1,304 applications have been cancelled and action is being taken on 4,012 applications," he said.
Further, the minister said 101 lakh metric tonnes of legacy waste were to be disposed of in the state under a solid waste management plan, of which 40 lakh metric tonnes of waste have been disposed of. The remaining waste will also be disposed of soon, he said.
Notably, legacy wastes are the wastes that have been collected and kept for years at some barren land or a place dedicated for landfill.
He said that 13 clusters have been formed in the state for door-to-door collection of garbage.
"Under this, a legacy plant of 700 metric tonnes capacity is operated in Sonipat and Panipat. A 1500 MT capacity plant will be set up soon in Gurugram and Faridabad. Apart from this, 638 MT capacity solid waste management plants are being set up in Karnal-Kaithal-Thanesar, 168 MT in Sirsa and 155 MT in Bhiwani," the minister said.
Waste management plants will soon be set up in Ambala-Yamunanagar, Rohtak-Bahadurgarh-Jhajjar, Hisar-Fatehabad, Jind, Rewari, Palwal-Punhana, Farukhnagar and Panchkula. | https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/industry/haryana-government-to-waive-interest-on-pending-property-tax-till-dec-31/96214411 | 2022-12-14T08:04:51 | en | 0.967343 |

DDA to hold draw of lots for waitlisted applicants under housing scheme 2021 on Dec 15
The draw will be based on random number generation system and will be held in the presence of independent observers comprising a retired judge and senior officers of the central government, the DDA said in a statement.
NEW DELHI: Delhi Development Authority has decided to conduct the draw of lots for allotment of flats for waitlisted applicants under the Special Housing Scheme 2021 on December 15, officials said on Tuesday.
The draw will be based on random number generation system and will be held in the presence of independent observers comprising a retired judge and senior officers of the central government, the DDA said in a statement.
"The general public can view the live telecast of the draw on December 15 from 3 pm onwards through webex platform. The meeting no. of Web-ex id 2510 910 7937 and password is 12345," it said.
The scheme was launched on December 23, 2021 and closed on March 10, 2022.
As many as 18,335 flats of different categories in Dwarka, Narela, Rohini and Jasola, among other places, were offered under the scheme. These flats are those which remained "unsold in previous housing schemes" of the urban body.
The DDA had made the announcement for the scheme via a newspaper advertisement in which it said the flats were being sold at "discounted prices".
The DDA on April 18 had conducted a draw of lots for the scheme for applicants, which was live-streamed.
"DDA initially placed 18,335 flats located in 28 localities under the scheme. In response to it, only 12,387 applicants have deposited requisite registration fee, although around 22,100 got themselves registered," the DDA had earlier said. | https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/residential/dda-to-hold-draw-of-lots-for-waitlisted-applicants-under-housing-scheme-2021-on-dec-15/96214370 | 2022-12-14T08:04:58 | en | 0.981241 |
