1 2 Prayagraj : Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath exuded confidence that forthcoming Maha Kumbh will be a standard in itself of digital, divine and grandeur. He said no Indian would want to remain deprived of seeing uninterrupted and pure Ganga or the holy Kumbh bathing at the holy confluence of Maa Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati. This time, Maha Kumbh will be made special by Prime Minister's guidance, blessings of saints and participation of common people, said Yogi on his visit to Prayagraj on Wednesday to take stock of preparations. He expressed his resolve to make Maha Kumbh an ideal example of social equality and public participation. During his visit, the chief minister unveiled equipment and development projects worth Rs 237.38 crore for security, Swachhata Mitras and Ganga Sevadoots in the fair area. "The world will get to see the rich cultural heritage of Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh and India through the world's largest spiritual and cultural gathering," said the CM, adding that preparations for the event were progressing rapidly and after its successful completion, he would return to congratulate all stakeholders. He said area of Kumbh had been increased from 1,800 hectares to 4,000 hectares, spread out in 25 sectors. Parking facility of 1,850 hectares was being provided and 14 flyovers and underpasses were being built. Along with this, nine concrete ghats were being built, seven river front roads, temporary ghats, were under construction, while 550 shuttle buses, 7,000 roadways buses along with electric buses would ply to and from seven bus stands that were being built. Through bioremediation by tapping all drains and sewers, no trash would be allowed to fall into the Ganga. The CM said that on Dec 13, PM Modi was scheduled to come to Prayagraj and pray to Ganga. He sought public cooperation to make Ganga completely clean and pure. Yogi directed officials to promote importance of Kumbh at global level to connect people from every section to ‘Green Prayagraj-Green Maha Kumbh'. He stressed special plans for safety and facilities for devotees. Instructing the police to adopt polite behaviour, he instructed them to make strong arrangements for drone surveillance, cyber security and disaster management. He said special action plan should be made for special bathing days with deployment of disaster rescue teams. The CM said there was plan to improve road, rail and air connectivity for pilgrims. Instructions were also given to run public awareness campaigns along with deploying additional manpower for cleanliness and banning single-use plastic. He said there were technical arrangements, so that various aspects of Maha Kumbh could be presented in digital form. Also, the goal of ‘Green Maha Kumbh' will be realised by activating Mohalla committees in Prayagraj. He directed officials to complete work on time and not compromise on quality. He ordered completion of work of land filling at Sangam Nose and construction of roads on time. He directed to keep NDRF and SDRF ready for adverse conditions. Laying emphasis on medical and other arrangements, the CM directed preparation of temporary hospitals for medical treatment in the fair area and gave priority to cleanliness. He also emphasised taking help of specialised institutions to study various dimensions related to Maha Kumbh. Yogi said there was curiosity all over the world for Maha Kumbh 2025 and it will be made historic with public cooperation.Say Nothing’s Gerry Adams disclaimer, explainedI stayed in a $1,500 resort and the cheapest hostel I could find during a trip to Jackson Hole.

For all its speed and centrifugal force, all its peril and push-the-envelope ingenuity, stock-car racing for decades subsisted on its array of characters. Guys named Fonty and Fireball, the Intimidator and the King, Foyt and France. They were an ensemble of ruffians and renegades, booze runners and barrier crashers, united by a critical common denominator. All were mavericks. Now, their audacity and achievements have been recounted in a sleek, photo-filled coffee-table book. “NASCAR Mavericks: The Rebels and Racers Who Revolutionized Stock Car Racing,” was been released. Published by Motorbooks (an imprint of the Quarto Publishing Group), it’s available at various online sites including Amazon and store.nascar.com . H.A. “Herb” Branham and Holly Cain, both former Tampa Tribune motorsports writers, spent 10 months on the project, interviewing roughly 100 sources. “What does it mean to be a maverick?” three-time NASCAR champ Tony Stewart asks rhetorically in his foreword. “Speaking from personal experience, it’s doing what you think is right, even when others say you’re wrong. And it’s being told you can’t, so you go even harder just to prove them wrong.” What ensues over the next 192 pages is an illustrated digest of sorts; character sketches in simple, unapologetic prose of those who embodied the maverick approach. “We talked to just about anybody that was relevant to the stories that were still alive, including obviously the people themselves,” Branham said. The mavericks include visionaries who helped propel the sport from red-clay tracks to major speedways (i.e. Bill France Sr.), crew chiefs who bent the rules to nearly their breaking point (i.e. Smokey Yunick), and drivers who had developed their automotive chops by running from the law in the South’s nether regions (i.e. Curtis Turner). The group also features those who sped full-throttle into what was once deemed a Southern-male sport. Among them: Wendell Scott, the first Black racer to win a NASCAR Cup Series race; and Sara Christian, the first female driver in the Strictly Stock Division (forerunner to the NASCAR Cup Series). Of course, the stars of NASCAR’s heyday — such as Dale Earnhardt, Darrell Waltrip and Richard Petty — get their due, as do modern-day mavericks such as Stewart, Kurt and Kyle Busch, and Hall of Fame crew chief Chad Knaus. Even maverick-style developments (a tobacco company becoming a corporate sponsor, the network TV takeover, the creation of a street race in Chicago) are chronicled. “It was a little bit of Wild West-style,” said Branham, who worked in NASCAR’s communications department nearly two decades. “It’s really not a corporate book at all. NASCAR, I think, is consciously just trying to ungloss what we did during my time there, where we just put lacquers over all of the history, at times which was deemed maybe not the type of stuff that mainstream America would like. And I think NASCAR now is trying to put it in reverse a little bit, and they’re really trying to recapture that great history.” Complementing that history are hundreds of photos — some iconic — that help bring the characters and cars to life. Noticeably absent is Michael Jordan’s ongoing antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR — a maverick move in itself — but Branham said the book had been completed long before that litigation arose. “We would’ve dealt with it,” he said. “We would’ve mentioned it, because there’s really not a whole lot of punches pulled in this book, which kind of makes it a little bit different.” Kind of a hardcover maverick.

Morgan Rogers looked to have given Unai Emery’s side another famous win when he slammed a loose ball home at the death, but referee Jesus Gil Manzano ruled Diego Carlos to have fouled Juve goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio and the goal was chalked off. It was a disappointment for Villa, who remain unbeaten at home in their debut Champions League campaign and are still in contention to qualify automatically for the last 16. A very controversial finish at Villa Park 😲 Morgan Rogers' late goal is ruled out for a foul on Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio and the match ends 0-0 ❌ 📺 @tntsports & @discoveryplusUK pic.twitter.com/MyYL5Vdy3r — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) November 27, 2024 Emiliano Martinez had earlier displayed why he was named the best goalkeeper in the world as his wonder save kept his side level in the second half. The Argentina international paraded his two Yashin Trophies on the pitch before kick-off at Villa Park and then showed why he won back-to-back FIFA awards when he denied Francisco Conceicao. Before Rogers’ moment of drama in the fourth minute of added time, the closest Villa came to scoring was in the first half when Lucas Digne’s free-kick hit the crossbar. But a draw was a fair result which leaves Villa out of the top eight on goal difference and Juventus down in 19th. Before the game Emery called Juventus one of the “best teams in the world, historically and now”, but this was an Italian side down to the bare bones. Only 14 outfield players made the trip from Turin, with striker Dusan Vlahovic among those who stayed behind. The opening 30 minutes were forgettable before the game opened up. Ollie Watkins, still chasing his first Champions League goal, had Villa’s first presentable chance as he lashed an effort straight at Di Gregorio. Matty Cash then had a vicious effort from the resulting corner which was blocked by Federico Gatti and started a counter-attack which ended in Juventus striker Timothy Weah. Villa came closest to breaking the deadlock at the end of the first half when Digne’s 20-yard free-kick clipped the top of the crossbar and went over. Martinez then produced his brilliant save just after the hour. A corner made its way through to the far post where Conceicao was primed to head in at the far post, but Martinez sprawled himself across goal to scoop the ball away. How has he kept that one out?! 🤯 Emi Martinez with an INCREDIBLE save to keep it goalless at Villa Park ⛔️ 📺 @tntsports & @discoveryplusUK pic.twitter.com/OkcWHB7YIk — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) November 27, 2024 Replays showed most of the ball went over the line, but the Argentinian got there with millimetres to spare. At the other end another fine goal-line block denied John McGinn as Manuel Locatelli got his foot in the way with Di Gregorio beaten. The game looked to be petering out until a last-gasp free-kick saw Rogers slam home, but whistle-happy official Gil Manzano halted the celebrations by ruling the goal out.AP Business SummaryBrief at 1:24 p.m. ESTAntisemitic AI deepfakes with hidden hate symbols on the rise
Retd Ship Captain Loses Rs 11 Cr in Cyber Fraud Promising Hefty Returns on Stock Investments; 1 HeldBy Anastasia Teterevleva and Maxim Rodionov MOSCOW (Reuters) -President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that Russia would keep testing its new Oreshnik hypersonic missile in combat and had a stock ready for use. Putin was speaking a day after Russia fired the new intermediate-range weapon into Ukraine for the first time, a step he said was prompted by Ukraine's use of U.S. ballistic missiles and British cruise missiles to hit Russia. The Kremlin leader described the missile's first use as a successful test, and said more would follow. "We will continue these tests, including in combat conditions, depending on the situation and the nature of the security threats that are created for Russia," he said in televised comments to defence officials and missile developers. "Moreover, we have a stock of such products, a stock of such systems ready for use." A U.S. official, however, said the weapon Russia used was an experimental one. The official said Russia has a limited number of them and that this is not a capability that Russia is able to regularly deploy on the battlefield. Intermediate missiles have a range of 3,000-5,500 km (1,860-3,415 miles), which would enable them to strike anywhere in Europe or the western United States from Russia. Security experts said the novel feature of the Oreshnik missile was that it carried multiple warheads capable of simultaneously striking different targets - something usually associated with longer-range intercontinental ballistic missiles designed to carry nuclear warheads. Ukraine said the missile reached a top speed of more than 13,000 kph (8,000 mph) and took about 15 minutes to reach its target from its launch. The firing of the missile was part of a sharp rise in tensions this week as both Ukraine and Russia have struck each other's territory with increasingly potent weapons. Moscow says that by giving the green light for Ukraine to fire Western missiles deep inside Russia, the U.S. and its allies are entering into direct conflict with Russia. On Tuesday, Putin approved policy changes that lowered the threshold for Russia to use nuclear weapons in response to an attack with conventional weapons. SEVERE ESCALATION Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Russia's use of the new missile amounted to "a clear and severe escalation" in the war and called for strong worldwide condemnation. He said Ukraine was working on developing new types of air defence to counter "new risks". The Kremlin said the firing of the Oreshnik was a warning to the West against taking further "reckless" actions and decisions in support of Ukraine. The Oreshnik was fired with conventional, not nuclear warheads. Putin said it was not a strategic nuclear weapon but its striking power and accuracy meant that its impact would be comparable, "especially when used in a massive group and in combination with other high-precision long-range systems". He said the missile was incapable of being shot down by an enemy. "I will add that there is no countermeasure to such a missile, no means of intercepting it, in the world today. And I will emphasize once again that we will continue testing this newest system. It is necessary to establish serial production," he said.

TOMS RIVER, N.J. (AP) — Gov. Phil Murphy has asked the Biden administration to put more resources into an investigation of mysterious drone sightings that have been reported in New Jersey and nearby states.
