Stewartville faced off with Dassel-Cokato in the Class 3A state championship football game on Saturday, Nov. 23, 2024, at the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. Stewartville won 43-22.Farmers blocked roads at many places across the state on Monday as part of their Punjab bandh call, affecting the commuter traffic in several areas. The bandh is being observed from 7 am to 4 pm on Monday, December 30. Farmers observed a sit-in at Dhareri Jattan Toll Plaza which affected vehicular movement on the Patiala-Chandigarh National Highway. A call for a shutdown was given last week by Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-political) and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha over the Centre not accepting the demands of protesting farmers. At Amritsar's Golden Gate, farmers started to assemble near the city's entry point while in Bathinda's Rampura Phul, they blocked roads. Farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher on Sunday said though there will be a complete bandh, emergency services will be allowed to operate. "The bandh will be observed from 7 am to 4 pm. However, emergency services will remain operational. Anyone travelling to the airport to catch a flight or anyone going to attend a job interview, or anyone needs to attend a wedding... all these things have been kept out of our bandh call," he said, according to PTI. Hundreds of farmers have been protesting at the Punjab-Haryana border demanding a legal guarantee of a minimum support price (MSP) for crops. The Railways has cancelled 150 trains due to the Punjab Bandh call. These include flagships like Vande Bharat and Shatabdi. Jagjit Singh Dallewal’s hunger strike continues amid Punjab bandh Meanwhile, 70-year-old farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal's hunger strike entered its 35th day on Monday. Dallewal has so far refused medical treatment. Dallewal had earlier said he would not break his fast until the government agreed to the farmers' demands. The apex court has given the Punjab government time till December 31 to persuade Dallewal to shift to a hospital , granting the state the liberty to seek logistical support from the Centre, if necessary. Farmers, under the banner of SKM (Non-Political) and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha, have been camping at the Shambhu and Khanauri border points between Punjab and Haryana since February 13, after their march to Delhi was stopped by security forces. A "jatha" (group) of 101 farmers attempted to march to Delhi on foot three times between December 6 and 14 but were stopped by security personnel from Haryana. Besides the MSP, farmers are also demanding a debt waiver, pension, no hike in electricity tariffs, withdrawal of police cases, and "justice" for the victims of the 2021 Lakhimpur Kheri violence.Jeremy Clarkson backpedals on previous claim he bought farm for tax reasons

The recent overthrow of Syria's authoritarian government has sent ripples of both joy and anxiety throughout the Middle East and beyond, as people react to the end of Bashar Assad's long-standing rule. Assad's leadership was marked by nearly 14 years of civil unrest, resulting in the deaths of half a million Syrians and the displacement of millions more. While some view Assad's fall as a moment of liberation, others express concern about potential instability in a region already fraught with conflict. Middle Eastern governments, whether supportive or adversarial to Assad, are keenly navigating the geopolitical implications of this drastic shift. Globally, nations like Iran, Turkey, and various European states have responded with calls for measured dialogue and reconstruction efforts to address Syria's future, as the international community grapples with ensuring regional stability in the post-Assad era.

WHL Roundup: Joe Iginla scores hat trick, Oil Kings thump Rebels 8-2Jeremy Clarkson backpedals on previous claim he bought farm for tax reasonsAP 13:06 JST, December 30, 2024 BEIRUT (AP) — Syria’s de facto leader said Sunday it could take up to four years to hold elections in Syria, and that he plans to dissolve his Islamist group that led the country’s insurgency at an anticipated national dialogue summit for the country. Ahmad al-Sharaa, who leads Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the group leading the new authority in Syria, made the remarks in an interview with Saudi television network Al-Arabiyya. It comes almost a month after a lightning insurgency led by HTS overthrew President Bashar Assad’s decades-long rule, ending the country’s uprising-turned civil war that started back in 2011. Al-Sharaa said it would take time to hold elections because of the need for Syria’s different forces to hold political dialogue and rewrite the country’s constitution following five decades of the Assad dynasty’s dictatorial rule. Also, the war-torn country’s battered infrastructure needs to be reconstructed, he said. “The chance we have today doesn’t come every 5 or 10 years,” said al-Sharaa, formerly known as Abu Mohammed al-Golani. “We want the constitution to last for the longest time possible.” Al-Sharaa is Syria’s de facto leader until March 1, when Syria’s different factions are set to hold a political dialogue to determine the country’s political future and establish a transitional government that brings the divided country together. There, he said, HTS will dissolve after years of being the country’s most dominant rebel group that held a strategic enclave in the country’s northwest. Earlier, an Israeli airstrike in the outskirts of Damascus on Sunday killed 11 people, according to a war monitor, as Israel continues to target Syrian weapons and military infrastructure even after the ouster of Assad. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the airstrike targeted a weapons depot that belonged to Assad’s forces near the industrial town of Adra, northeast of the capital. The observatory said at least 11 people, mostly civilians, were killed. The Israeli military did not comment on the airstrike Sunday. Israel, which has launched hundreds of airstrikes over Syria since the country’s uprising turned-civil war broke out in 2011, rarely acknowledges them. It says its targets are Iran-backed groups that backed Assad. Unlike his criticism of key Assad ally Iran, al-Sharaa hoped to maintain “strategic relations” with Russia, whose air force played a critical role in keeping Assad in power for over a decade during the conflict. Moscow has a strategic airbase in Syria. The HTS leader also said negotiations are ongoing with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces in northeastern Syria, and hopes that their armed forces will integrate with the Syrian security agencies. The Kurdish-led group is Washington’s key ally in Syria, where it is heavily involved in targeting sleeper cells belonging to the extremist Islamic State group. Turkish-backed Syrian rebels have been clashing with the SDF even after the insurgency, taking the key city of Manbij, as Ankara hopes to create a buffer zone near its border in northern Syria. The rebels attacked near the strategic northern border town of Kobani, while the SDF shared a video of a rocket attack that destroyed what it said was a radar system south of the city of Manbij. — Syrian state-run media said a mass grave was found near the third largest city of Homs. SANA said civil defense workers were sent to to the site in al-Kabo, one of many suspected mass graves where tens of thousands of Syrians are believed to have been buried during a brutal crackdown under Assad and his network of security agencies. — An Egyptian activist wanted by Cairo on charges of incitement to violence and terrorism, Abdulrahman al-Qardawi, was detained by Lebanese security forces after crossing the porous border from Syria, according to two judicial and one security officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to to talk to the press. Al-Qardawi is an Egyptian activist residing in Turkey and an outspoken critic of Egypt’s government. He had reportedly visited Syria to join celebrations after Assad’s downfall. His late father, Youssef al-Qaradawi, was a top and controversial Egyptian cleric revered by the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood. He had lived in exile in Qatar for decades. — Lebanese security forces apprehended an armed group in the northern city of Tripoli that kidnapped a group of 26 Syrians who were recently smuggled into Lebanon, two Lebanese security officials said on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to share the information with the media. The Syrians included five women and seven children, and security officials are working to return them to Syria.

Anti-NATO protest in Montreal erupts in fires, smashed windows, arrests, say policePublished 08:41 IST, December 30th 2024 ISRO is all set to launch its ambitious year-end mission, the "Space Docking Experiment" (SpaDeX), today, Monday, at 9:58 PM. New Delhi: The Indian Space Research Organisation ( ISRO ) is all set to launch its ambitious year-end mission, the "Space Docking Experiment" (SpaDeX), today, Monday, at 9:58 PM from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. The mission will use the PSLV-C60. The space agency will launch two small satellites for its Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX) atop the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV). Mission's Objective The primary objective of the SpaDeX mission is to develop and demonstrate the technology needed for the rendezvous, docking, and undocking of two small spacecraft (SDX01, the Chaser, and SDX02, the Target) in a low-Earth circular orbit. "In addition, SpaDeX, because of its small size and mass, is even more challenging due to the finer precision required for the rendezvous and docking maneuvers compared to docking two large spacecraft. This mission will serve as a precursor for autonomous docking needed for future lunar missions, such as Chandrayaan-4, without relying on GNSS from Earth," ISRO said in a statement. Currently, only three countries—the United States, Russia, and China have the capability to dock two spacecraft in outer space. With this mission, India aims to become the fourth country in the world to possess space docking technology. What is Docking? Docking refers to the process of aligning and physically connecting two spacecraft, such as satellites, in space. The two satellites, SDX01 (Chaser) and SDX02 (Target), will orbit the Earth at an altitude of 470 km, following a circular trajectory with an inclination of 55°. Initially, the satellites will be in close proximity, but over a 24-hour period, they will gradually drift apart. Like all ISRO satellites in low-Earth orbit, both SpaDeX spacecraft carry a differential GNSS-based Satellite Positioning System (SPS), which provides Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) solutions for the satellites. "In SpaDeX, a novel RODP processor is included in the SPS receiver, which allows for accurate determination of the relative position and velocity of the Chaser and the Target. By subtracting the carrier phase measurements from the same GNSS satellites in both Chaser and Target SPS receivers, highly accurate relative states of the two satellites are determined. The VHF/UHF transceivers in both satellites assist this process by transferring the GNSS satellite measurements from one satellite to the other. Hardware and software test beds, including closed-loop verifications, were conducted to characterize the RODP performance," the statement said. The SpaDeX spacecraft were designed and developed by the UR Rao Satellite Centre (URSC) with support from other ISRO centers (VSSC, LPSC, SAC, IISU, and LEOS). The spacecraft, in its orbital phase, will be controlled from ISTRAC using ISRO ground stations and other externally hired ground stations. "The full integration and testing of the satellites were carried out at M/s Ananth Technologies, Bangalore, under the supervision of URSC. After completing all tests and clearances, the spacecraft has moved from URSC to SDSC and is undergoing final preparations for launch," the statement added. Far Rendezvous The Target spacecraft's propulsion system will prevent the satellites from drifting apart and maintain a distance of 20 km between them, a process known as Far Rendezvous. Subsequently, the Chaser spacecraft will gradually approach the Target, reducing the distance between them to 5 km, 1.5 km, 500 m, 225 m, 15 m, and finally 3 m, leading to their docking. When and Where to Watch The launch will be streamed live by the space agency, and you can watch it on YouTube. The broadcast is expected to begin at 11 AM EST (1600 GMT).

Countess Karen Spencer has revealed a personal update amid her divorce from Earl Spencer which has seen her move out of Althorp House . Charles Spencer's estranged wife, 52, took to Instagram to share a house move update as she admitted to it being a "challenging time". Alongside a photo of two sheep in a lush fountain-adorned garden, the Canadian philanthropist penned: "It hasn't been easy finding a temporary rental that can accommodate seven horses, two sheep, four cats, and a dog - but with the help of some wonderful friends, we’ve finally found one. "It's been a challenging time, but also one filled with so much generosity and kindness. No exact move-in date yet, but we’re getting close," she continued. "Now, I'm excited to embark on the next chapter! Lucky and Minty, who featured in this week's newsletter, moved to the new house earlier this week, ahead of the rest of us. "They've settled in quickly and seem quite happy in their new space!," she concluded. Leaving Althorp The update regarding the Countess' new home comes just shortly after she was inundated with support following her departure from the Althorp Estate - the Spencer ancestral residence where Charles and his late sister Princess Diana grew up. The social entrepreneur shared a lengthy post reflecting on her 13 years at the property, describing it as a "treasure trove" amid this "transitional" time in her life. "I will miss seeing your beautiful posts from Althorp House... You've made it more magical than it has been in decades, I'm sure," wrote one loyal follower, while another added: "What a beautiful example of how to carry oneself through life's ups and downs." Countess Spencer's divorce The news that Prince William 's uncle had split from his third wife was shared with the public in June via the Mail on Sunday. "I just want to devote myself to all my children, and to my grandchildren , and I wish Karen every happiness in the future," Charles said.

Sampson scored on a 14-yard TD run early in the second quarter for the game's first points to deliver his 22nd TD of tje season to break the Tennessee single-season mark set by Gene McEvers in 1929. Iamaleava was 15 of 20 for 173 yards for Tennessee (9-2), while Bru McCoy caught a pair of TD passes and Squirrel White and Ethan Davis each had a TD reception. Tennessee moved its all-time record to 2-0 against the Miners, also having blanked the Conference USA school 24-0 in 2018. Jermod McCoy and John Slaughter had interceptions for the Volunteers, while Dominic Bailey recovered a fumble to set up a score. Skyler Locklear was 10-of-19 passing for 50 yards with an interception for UTEP (2-9), while rushing for 37 yards on eight carries. JP Pickles also had a turn at QB for the Miners and was 10 of 15 for 72 yards. Kenny Odom had eight receptions for 70 yards. Both defenses set the tone in the first quarter. The UTEP defense allowed just one first down to the Southeastern Conference team in three ugly series in the opening quarter and only 22 yards. In the second quarter, Sampson ended a 68-yard drive by dashing up the middle for 14 yards for the record-setting score to take a 7-0 lead with 13:22 remaining before halftime. After Bailey's fumble recovery, Iamaleava flipped a screen pass that White took 9 yards to the end zone nearly six minutes later. Davis put the Volunteers up 21-0 when he grabbed a short pass for a 1-yard TD. Iamaleava then found Bru McCoy from 18 yards with eight seconds left in the second quarter for a 28-0 halftime lead. McCoy caught his second TD and Peyton Lewis rushed for a pair for a 49-0 lead in the third quarter, but the biggest roar from Volunteers fans came when it was announced Florida beat No. 9 Ole Miss 24-17, to enhance the Volunteers' College Football Playoff hopes. Cameron Seldon's 3-yard run capped the scoring as the Volunteers finished the season undefeated at home for the second time in four years. --Field Level Media

No. 10 Georgia scores nearly at will, destroys UMassAs the year draws to a close, China has set its sights firmly on the future, with a roadmap laid out during the recently concluded annual Central Economic Work Conference. The focus is clear — scientific and technological innovation will be the cornerstone of the nation's economic strategy heading into 2025. The goal is nothing short of transformative — to create new quality productive forces and overhaul China's industrial system, building a framework for a modernized, tech-driven economy. As a journalist, I find it fascinating to see how the country is positioning itself at the forefront of the next industrial revolution. With major technological projects and large-scale demonstrations of new technologies, China is laying the groundwork for fostering new quality productive forces. This initiative, which centers around emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and the internet of things, promises to dramatically reshape industries across the board. The government is keen to foster innovation in emerging sectors, nurturing the industries of the future while ensuring that China maintains its competitive edge in strategic technological areas. Yu Hongjun, former vice-minister of the International Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, explained that China's push into digital infrastructure is already paying off. Over the past few years, the country has made major strides in establishing a robust digital economy. The widespread adoption of 5G and the development of 6G satellite communication systems have set the stage for what Yu calls a smart, connected economy. He said during the World Internet of Things Convention held recently in Beijing that the rise of new IoT, new data and new business models are quietly but powerfully reshaping China's economic landscape. This is the bedrock of the new quality productive forces the country is betting on for long-term success. As I dug deeper into the details, I realized the scale of what's unfolding here. He Xuming, chairman of the World Internet of Things Convention Executive Committee, said the global digital economy, driven by IoT technologies, is growing at an annual rate of 20 percent. This year, global IoT connections are expected to increase by more than 23 percent to surpass 25 billion. What's even more impressive is that China is leading the charge in IoT infrastructure construction and innovative development in the digital economy. China is poised to build over 4.3 million 5G base stations this year, helping to connect over 3 billion IoT devices, said He, adding that the traditional digital economy in China is projected to reach an annual output value of over 70 trillion yuan ($9.59 trillion), growing at a rate of more than 20 percent. With nearly a million companies already operating in the IoT space, the groundwork for China to lead in new quality productive forces is well underway. Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of this push is its potential to trigger the fourth industrial revolution. Wei Jianguo, former vice-minister of commerce, said the core of this revolution is the convergence of digital technologies with manufacturing processes. The digitalization of industry, Wei argues, will redefine global production systems, and China, with its advanced manufacturing supply chains and digital leadership, is uniquely positioned to spearhead this transformation. Wei further emphasized that the fourth industrial revolution will not only drive economic growth, but also profoundly impact China's social structure, economic models, and the relationship between humans and nature. As I reflect on these developments, it's clear that the shift toward new quality productive forces, driven by AI, IoT and other next-generation technologies, will inevitably position China as a global innovation powerhouse. The government's proactive approach to fostering these changes is strategic, forward-thinking and deeply embedded in its broader economic goals for the next few years. The story unfolding here isn't just about economic growth — it's about reshaping the very fabric of industry and society in ways we're only just beginning to comprehend. As 2025 approaches, all eyes will be on China to see how it executes this ambitious plan and whether it can truly lead the world into the next industrial revolution.

Anti-NATO protest in Montreal erupts in fires, smashed windows, arrests, say police MONTREAL — Police say they've arrested several people following an anti-NATO protest that included two car fires and left some businesses with smashed windows. Canadian Press Nov 23, 2024 7:13 AM Nov 23, 2024 7:20 AM Share by Email Share on Facebook Share on X Share on LinkedIn Print Share via Text Message MONTREAL — Police say they've arrested several people following an anti-NATO protest that included two car fires and left some businesses with smashed windows. Montreal police say they made at least three arrests following a demonstration that began late afternoon Friday. Police say that during the march, smoke bombs were deployed, metal barriers were thrown into the street and windows of businesses and at the convention centre were smashed. Delegates from NATO member states and partner countries are in Montreal this weekend to discuss issues including support for Ukraine, climate change and the future of the alliance. The protest was planned by the groups Divest for Palestine and the Convergence of Anti-Capitalist Struggles, who did not immediately respond to requests for comment Saturday. Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly condemned the protests in a Saturday morning post on social media platform X, saying that "rioting is not peaceful protest and has no place in Montreal or anywhere in Canada." "Those who spread hate and antisemitism, use violence, loot and destroy property must be condemned and held accountable," she added. Police spokesperson Manuel Couture says the demonstrators were completely dispersed at around 7 p.m. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 23, 2024.
