LOS ANGELES (AP) — Right when the Los Angeles Rams' offense has dropped into a disconcerting slump, their defense has held three straight opponents under 10 points for the first time in decades. Although the Rams (10-6) are closing in on an NFC West title and another playoff berth with a five-game winning streak, the way they're doing it makes their postseason prospects quite unpredictable. The methodology has been strange, but the results are not: After holding off Arizona 13-9 on Saturday night, Los Angeles has won nine of 11 and is very close to claiming its fourth division title and sixth playoff berth in coach Sean McVay's eight seasons. “I’m proud of this group and the way they battled back,” Matthew Stafford said. “A lot of people doubted us, and a lot of people wrote us off at 1-4. To be able to sit here with our record what it is right now, I feel proud of this group.” The Rams hadn't held three straight opponents to single-digit scoring since 1975, but rookie coordinator Chris Shula's defense has done it with a strong front and a little luck on the back end, including the last-minute interception by Ahkello Witherspoon on a pass that deflected off star Arizona tight end Trey McBride's head at the goal line. Kyler Murray threw it before McBride was probably ready because Shula had called a zero blitz on first down at the Los Angeles 5. “I want to make more plays to make sure they don’t have to do as much as they did (against Arizona), but I’m proud of them,” Stafford said of the Rams' defense. "It’s awesome to watch where they were in training camp to where they are now. Shula is doing a hell of a job. We all knew he would. Those guys are playing hard for him.” But the Rams have scored more than 21 points just once during their five-game winning streak, their longest since their Super Bowl championship season in 2021. They’ve managed only three touchdowns in their last three games while scoring fewer than 20 points each time out, although that stretch includes games played in the rain (San Francisco) and in subfreezing temperatures (New York Jets). Against the Cardinals in Inglewood's ideal weather, the Rams’ offense still produced one TD, a season-worst 12 first downs and only 257 total yards — 139 fewer than Arizona. The running game struggled again, as it often does when all five starting offensive linemen aren't healthy, while the entire roster aside from Puka Nacua combined for just seven receptions for 60 yards — a surprising number for a McVay offense. “I don’t think there’s one thing I can point to,” McVay said Sunday. “I could go on and on about some of the things, starting with me, but then also about our execution in terms of getting connected in the run game, targeting the right way, making sure that the ball is going where it should go, and guys that I know are capable of playing the way that we’ve seen. If they do that, then I know that it’s not as far as sometimes it can feel like. But ultimately, we’ve got to do it.” What's working The young front four remains the strength of the defense. Jared Verse had a tremendous game on the edge against Murray and Arizona's running game, while fellow rookie Braden Fiske and second-year pros Kobie Turner and Byron Young all recorded sacks. What needs help The Rams again failed to establish the running game despite never trailing Arizona. Kyren Williams got his second-fewest carries of the season (13, with just five in the second half), while rookie Blake Corum was barely involved. Los Angeles' 3.9 yards per rush is the second-lowest mark in the NFL even though Williams began Sunday third in the league with 1,299 yards. Stock up Witherspoon not only made the game-saving interception, but the eight-year veteran who went unsigned until September also has seized the starting cornerback job from Cobie Durant, who didn't play on defense against the Cards despite being healthy again. McVay said Witherspoon's play during Durant's brief injury absence resulted in the change. Stock down Cooper Kupp had one catch against Arizona, and he has just 12 receptions in the past five games, matching the least productive five-game stretch of his eight-year career. Stafford has said the Rams need to get their Super Bowl 56 MVP more involved, and Kupp says he's healthy — yet it isn't happening. Injuries McVay believes the Rams stayed healthy outside of a stinger for rookie safety Kam Kinchens, but they felt the absence of RT Rob Havenstein, who injured his shoulder last week during an unpadded practice. Backup Joe Noteboom committed three holding penalties and got beaten repeatedly. Key number 4 — Stafford's consecutive games without taking a sack. That's the longest streak of his 16-year career, yet he has only one 200-yard passing game in that stretch. Next steps The Rams began Sunday preparing as if they'll play the Seahawks (9-7) next Saturday, although the game could happen a day later. McVay won't show his cards, but if the Rams have clinched, they seem likely to rest several regulars for the playoffs. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/NFL Greg Beacham, The Associated Press

Nathan Doak confided that Ulster were "hyped up" leaving the visitors' dressing-room at the Dexcom Stadium as they picked up their first win in six games. And head coach Richie Murphy insisted there is more to come from a group of young players who seized their chance against Connacht in Galway. Despite a large casualty list, Murphy's side - with his 20-year-old son, Jack, making his first start - won 17-7. READ MORE: Gutsy Ulster hold their nerve away to Connacht to end five-game losing streak "It's a massive result for us," said scrum-half Doak. "We're coming off the back of massively tough fixtures and we didn't want to use coming down here, you know, 'tough place to come'. "I tell you what, the forwards got us hyped up before the game and we all wanted to go out and put in a big performance. "It was just so good to be a part of that tonight, there's a lot of boys making second starts and debuts and we wanted to make it special for them, so it was class for everyone to come together and put out a performance like that. "The coaches gave heart to us, they put out the standard of what we want in our team and they pushed us to train to make sure we delivered it, and Jeez I thought we delivered it tonight - the linespeed, the physicality. "You get a good bounce, a good flow and a good feeling off that so fair play to the boys, it's a great result for us. We're ecstatic to have a win, it's been a while for us." Murphy said that Ulster have picked up some more injuries as the players look forward to a few days off before preparations start for their third Champions Cup pool game against Leicester Tigers. "I thought the lads were incredible tonight," the head coach commented. "A lot of things went against us during the week, even in the warm-up. "Mike Lowry, we weren't sure if he was going to get through the game, for him to put in that performance that he did was incredible. "Rob Herring obviously pulls up in the warm-up, James McCormick comes onto the bench and then into the game within 10 minutes (as a temporary replacement), so it just shows you the strength that's growing in the group. "We're missing a fair few top, top players, so for our young boys to come out here and go up against a back line like they did and defend the way they did, I was really, really proud of them. "We're going away with four points and after five losses on the bounce it shows the character of the team to come back like that. "I still think there's way more in them. What I loved about that was the commitment to the jersey, the commitment to each other, the hard work that the lads put in and they never took a backwards step. "So really happy with that but especially on the attack side of the ball I think there's way more in us, so we'll have a mini-break, we'll come back on Thursday or Friday and get ready for Leicester. "But we picked up another few injuries tonight. We've a few boys coming back in who started returning to training on Monday and Tuesday this week who weren't quite ready to actually come into this game, so we'll get them back this week but we've lost a few as well. "We'll just move on to the next one." Meanwhile, Doak is optimistic that this victory can be the start of better times for the Ulster side. "Look, we're young, maybe we're naive but we've got to back ourselves. We want to get better, we want to push on," the 23-year-old stressed. "I know people will have their opinions of where we're at but, for us being involved, being in there, it's just about working hard every day and that will hold us in good stead, getting a win. "Maybe it gives us a bit of confidence going into the next round of league games after a break. We all want to build on this."

PARIS (AP) — Howling winds couldn’t stop Notre Dame Cathedral ’s heart from beating again. With three resounding knocks on its doors by Paris Archbishop Laurent Ulrich, wielding a specially designed crosier carved from fire-scorched beams, the monument roared back to life Saturday evening. For the first time since a devastating blaze nearly destroyed it in 2019, the towering Gothic masterpiece reopened for worship, its rebirth marked by song, prayer, and awe beneath its soaring arches. The ceremony, initially planned to begin on the forecourt, was moved entirely inside due to unusually fierce December winds sweeping across the Île de la Cité, flanked by the River Seine. Yet the occasion lost none of its splendor. Inside the luminous nave, choirs sang psalms, and the cathedral’s mighty organ, silent for nearly five years, thundered to life in a triumphant interplay of melodies. The restoration, a spectacular achievement in just five years for a structure that took nearly two centuries to build, is seen as a moment of triumph for French President Emmanuel Macron, who championed the ambitious timeline — and a welcome respite from his domestic political woes . The evening’s celebration, attended by 1,500 dignitaries, including President-elect Donald Trump, Britain’s Prince William, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, underscored Notre Dame’s enduring role as both a spiritual and cultural beacon. Observers see the event as Macron's, and his intention to pivot it into a fully fledged diplomatic gathering, while highlighting France’s ability to unite on the global stage despite internal political crises. Inside, 42,000 square meters of stonework — an area equal to six soccer pitches — were meticulously cleaned, revealing luminous limestone and intricate carvings. Overhead, 2,000 oak beams, nicknamed “the forest,” were used to rebuild the spire and roof, restoring the cathedral’s iconic silhouette. The thunderous great organ, with 7,952 pipes ranging from pen-sized to torso-wide, resounded for the first time since the fire. Its newly renovated console, boasting five keyboards, 115 stops, and 30 foot pedals, was a marvel of restoration, reawakening a cornerstone of Notre Dame’s identity. Guests gradually filing into the cathedral for the evening reopening ceremonies were awestruck by the renovated interiors, many whipping out cellphones to capture the moment. “It’s a sense of perfection,” said François Le Page of the Notre Dame Foundation, which raised nearly half of the €900 million ($950 million) in donations for the restoration. He last visited in 2021, when the cathedral was cloaked in scaffolding. “It was somber,” he said. “It’s night and day.” The Rev. Andriy Morkvas, a Ukrainian pastor who leads the Volodymyr Le Grand church in Paris, reflected on his first visit to Notre Dame in over a decade. “I didn’t recognize it,” he said. “God is very powerful; He can change things.” He expressed hope that the cathedral’s revival could inspire peace in his homeland, drawing strength from the presence of Ukraine’s president. “I think that will have a big impact,” he said. “I hope Notre Dame and Mary will help us resolve this conflict.” The reopening of Notre Dame comes at a time of profound global unrest, with wars raging in Ukraine and the Middle East. For Catholics, Notre Dame’s rector said the cathedral “carries the enveloping presence of the Virgin Mary, a maternal and embracing presence.′′ “It is a magnificent symbol of unity,” Dumas said. “Notre Dame is not just a French monument—it is a magnificent sign of hope.” The international range of dignitaries coming to Paris underline the cathedral’s significance as a symbol of shared heritage and peace. Canadian visitor Noelle Alexandria, who had traveled to Paris for the reopening, was struck by the cathedral’s ability to inspire. “She’s been nearly ruined before, but she always comes back,” Alexandria said. “Not many of us could say the same after such tragedy, but Notre Dame can.” Guests entered through Notre Dame’s iconic western façade, whose arched portals adorned with biblical carvings were once a visual guide for medieval believers. Above the central Portal of the Last Judgment, the Archangel Michael is depicted weighing souls, as demons attempt to tip the scales. These stone figures, designed to inspire both awe and fear, set the stage for a ceremony steeped in history. Inside, the hum of hundreds of guests awaiting the service filled the cathedral with human sounds once more — a stark contrast to the construction din that echoed there for years. Tuners restoring the great organ often worked through the night to find the silence needed to perfect its 7,952 pipes, ranging from pen-sized to torso-wide. Notre Dame echoed to the sound of a sustained standing ovation after the showing of a short movie that documented the gargantuan rebuilding effort. Outside, the word “MERCI” — thank you — was projected against the cathedral’s iconic western facade. The movie showed the terrible wounds left by the inferno — the gaping holes torn into its vaulted ceilings and the burned roof. But that was followed by images of all types of artisans, many using traditional handicraft techniques, who collectively restored Notre Dame to look better now than ever. "We went from night to light," said one of the workers in the movie. The celebration is expected to give a much-needed boost to embattled Macron, whose prime minister was ousted this week , plunging the nation’s politics into more turmoil. The French president, who has called Notre Dame's reopening “a jolt of hope,” will address the gathering. He had hoped the occasion would briefly silence his critics and showcase France’s unity and resilience under his leadership. Macron's presidency now faces its gravest crisis after the government's collapse this week in a historic no-confidence vote that toppled Prime Minister Michel Barnier. The vote followed months of political gridlock after snap elections in June. Calls are now growing louder from opposition forces for Macron to resign. But he vowed Thursday to remain in office until the end of his term in 2027, and said he'll name a new prime minister within days. As France struggles with economic woes and social unrest, Notre Dame's rebirth celebrations form a stark contrast. Security will be high through the weekend, echoing measures taken during the Paris Olympics earlier this year. The Île de la Cité — the small island in the River Seine that is home to Notre Dame and the historic heart of Paris— is closed to tourists and non-residents. Police vans and barriers blocked cobblestoned streets in a large perimeter around the island, while soldiers in thick body armor and sniffer dogs patrolled embankments. A special security detail is following Trump. Public viewing areas along the Seine’s southern bank will accommodate 40,000 spectators, who can follow the celebrations on large screens. For many, Notre Dame’s rebirth is not just a French achievement but a global one — after the reopening, the cathedral is set to welcome 15 million visitors annually, up from 12 million before the fire.

Letter: Wildcat women's basketball

Next year promises some cosmic shake-ups , with a lineup of significant astrological transits that promise to bring themes like disruption and massive change. Astrology buffs can anticipate celestial shifts to resonate both personally and universally. Astrologer Chani Nicholas highlights the importance of 2025s transits, stating: "Tapping into our courage, individually and collectively, will help us co-create a brighter future. Prepare to face the friction of this upcoming year , and get ready to generate some heat." Brace yourselves for these seven crucial astrological events as we turn the page into the new year. Looking ahead to seven key astrological transits in 2025: All the celestial events to look forward to in 2024 after 'majestic' solar eclipse across US Leo Astrology: All about the star sign’s horoscopes, dates, compatibility and more Important Dates: Jan. 11, 2025-Feb. 20, 2027 Annually, we witness two seasons of eclipses, with each one spanning 18 months or 1.5 years, until the lunar nodes transit to a new sign axis, setting the scene for yearly astrological narratives. Come Jan. 11, the lunar nodal shift from the Aries-Libra alignment where the North Node resides in Aries and the South Node in Libra will progress into the Virgo-Pisces axis. With the North Node in dreamy Pisces symbolizing an insatiable thirst, and the South Node in detail-oriented Virgo indicating a need for release, were bound to experience a communal pivot from balancing relationships and selfhood toward harmonizing reality and aspirations. The first eclipse season will feature a lunar eclipse in Virgo on March 13 and a solar eclipse in Aries on March 29. The second season will see a lunar eclipse in Pisces on September 7 and a solar eclipse in Virgo on September 21. Dates: March 1, 2025-April 12, 2025 Venus, the celestial body associated with love and creativity, goes into retrograde every 18 months, or 1.5 years, for approximately 40 days. Astrologers suggest that during this period, we are prompted to revisit themes related to the planet and its ruling sign. From March 1-26, the first half of the transit, the planet will be in the cardinal fire sign, Aries, before transitioning into the mutable water sign, Pisces, until April 12. It's not uncommon for relationships to end or undergo significant changes during this time, as evidenced by high-profile splits like Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner's divorce during the last Venus retrograde in the summer of 2023. Dates: March 30, 2025-October 22, 2025; January 26, 2026-March 23, 2039 Neptune, the planet of illusions and dreams, will transition from its home sign of Pisces into the cardinal fire sign, Aries, the zodiac's trailblazer. This infrequent transit occurs roughly every 18 years and is expected to influence the next two decades significantly. Aries, known for its boldness and action-oriented nature, is predicted by astrologers to inspire protest - though it may also contribute to the propagation of misinformation. Chani spoke about the Neptune in Aries transit, saying, "Neptune's transition marks a major shift in how we collectively engage with our ideals. When the celestial dreamer enters this Mars-ruled fire sign, sparks fly. Instead of just fantasizing about giving peace a chance, the ram of the zodiac encourages us to show up at the protest and take action." "During this transit, staying grounded and resisting the allure of spiritual or political propaganda will be essential for honoring and protecting what we believe in," she added. Dates: May 24, 2025-Sept. 1, 2025; Feb. 13, 2026-April 12, 2028 The planet of boundaries, Saturn, will transition from the mutable water sign, Pisces, to the cardinal fire sign, Aries. This approximately three-year-long transit is characterized by challenging karmic lessons, particularly for those who will experience their Saturn return. Those with Saturn in Aries in their natal birth chart will undergo their eagerly-awaited Saturn return. Chani commented on the Saturn in Aries transit, stating, "When the two collide, we're asked to be more disciplined and intentional in the ways we exercise our aggression, vitality, and drive. Noticing where we're overly competitive or impatient can help us stay levelheaded as we strive to realize our ambitions." "Saturn has a reputation for teaching tough lessons, but for a reason: Experiencing dissatisfaction and encountering life's constraints can help us tap into our stamina, grit, and accountability for our own actions." Flat Earther admits he was wrong after traveling 9,000 miles to Antarctica to test his belief Huge 1300-ft stadium sized asteroid set for close encounter with Earth this week Dates: June 9, 2025-June 29, 2026 Jupiter, the planet of abundance and prosperity, will transition from the mutable Earth sign Gemini to the cardinal water sign Cancer. This shift is set to bring good fortune to the aspects of your life governed by Cancer, a sign known for its nurturing nature. Dates: July 7, 2025-Nov. 7, 2025; April 25, 2026-Aug. 3-2032; Dec. 12, 2032-May 22, 2033 Uranus, the planet of disruption, will move from the fixed Earth sign Taurus to the mutable Earth sign Gemini. Chani noted that during its time in Venus-ruled Taurus, we witnessed Venusian themes like resource shortages in supply chains, worker strikes, climate change, and reproductive rights issues emerge. Now, as it enters Mercury-ruled Gemini, she anticipates shifts in mass communication. This infrequent transit occurs approximately every seven years and will influence the underlying tone of nearly the next decade. Notably, events such as World War II and the Holocaust, the U. S. Civil War, and the U. S. Revolutionary War all took place under a previous Uranus in Gemini transit.

The slow-moving dwarf planet is seen in astrology as a celestial body of transformation, and Aquarius is a fixed air sign associated with social justice and scientific data. Pluto's last sojourn in Aquarius was from 1777 to 1798, a period that witnessed pivotal global events such as the American and French Revolutions, not to mention the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. This era also saw groundbreaking scientific breakthroughs, including the invention of the hot air balloon and the discovery of the planet Uranus. Astrologers are forecasting that the upcoming two decades will be characterized by profound societal shifts that will dismantle archaic structures. They also foresee a surge in technological innovation, especially in the realm of AI.

Regarding the Pluto in Aquarius phase, Chani remarked, "By the end of Pluto's time here in 2044, we can expect our social norms and ideologies to be radically transformed." "Whether we're grappling with the persistent climate crisis, the ascent of extreme political ideologies, or the scourge of gun violence, Pluto in Aquarius calls for our united efforts to turn these significant challenges around."MONTREAL — Quebec Conservative Party leader Éric Duhaime has been hospitalized with a heart problem. Duhaime says he suffered heart trouble Friday night and his spouse immediately brought him to hospital. The party leader made the announcement on X this afternoon, posting a picture of himself in a hospital bed giving a thumbs up. Duhaime says he's confident he will make a full recovery but will be taking a step back for the next few weeks. Last month, Duhaime indicated he would seek the opinions of party members in the Quebec riding of Arthabaska about running in the fall 2025 byelection and compete for a seat in the National Assembly. A Leger poll published earlier this week found that 13 per cent of the Quebec electorate intended to vote for the Quebec Conservative Party.

As Josh Campbell spoke joyously in the Hearts press room after winning the derby, a small man in a Hibs tracksuit came over and slapped him on the back cheekily in congratulation. Those who attend Hibs game regularly will be aware of Gavin Gillies, the club’s long-serving assistant kitman - although his role at Easter Road has a far wider remit. Thing is, Gillies wasn’t expected to be at Tynecastle. He has been suffering from ill-health and required emergency treatment last week in hospital. He has been at Hibs for two decades and has seen numerous high and lows, players and staff come and go. So when he was one of the first faces to greet the team upon their arrival on Boxing Day in Gorgie, he gave everybody a lift. Campbell - a boyhood Hibs fan - made sure Gillies got a big mention, hijacking the line of questioning to name-drop someone close to his heart. “I'm just going to give a shout out to wee Gav (Gillies), who fell really ill last week,” said Campbell. “He was here. And he got the win today. So just wanted to give a wee shout out to wee Gav. He got the boys through it today. “I've been at Hibs for 16, 17 years. He was there the first day I was there, welcoming me in. And he's a real big character at the changing ground, that man. If you come in from a defeat at the weekend, he'll lift the spirits right away. “Whether he's singing, whether he's dancing. Bad jokes. I've heard all the jokes, so I just sit and just ignore them. Because I've heard them all. But all the new boys get to hear them over and over again. But no, it was bad to hear the news of Gav, because he's massive for us, and when we walked in the changing room and seen him at the door at Tynecastle, it was a real smile for everyone.” It’s an example of the strong team spirit coursing through the Hibs dressing room right now. My word, they’ve needed it. This has been a testing season, bottom of the Premiership table in mid-December before a run of three wins, the latest being Thursday’s 2-1 derby triumph over Hearts, lifting them up to seventh in the table. The players have always been right behind Gray, even in the darkest of times. The victory at Tynecastle - Hibs’ first there in five years - sparked a jubilant party in front of the away end. The wounds of earlier in the season are healing. There is genuine optimism in the fanbase that finishing in the top six is now the aim, not fighting relegation. “Mental, words can't describe that to be fair,” was Campbell’s summation of the scenes in the Roseburn Stand. “For a Hibs fan, winning here. My first time winning here. Amazing! Incredible. Seeing them singing your name, it's just the best feeling in the world.” Taking centre stage in the celebrations was Elie Youan, Hibs’ flamboyant French forward who cavorted with a corner flag in front of the supporters. “There's only one person who can do that celebration and that's him,” laughed Campbell. “I would never do that. That's mental. I don't think I can dance like that.” It wasn’t always like this. Gray’s job was on the line just a few weeks ago, and Campbell was out of the team. But one thing that never wavered was team spirit. “The togetherness of the team has always been there,” said Campbell. “We've never not been together. As we said, it was a bad run of decisions that were going against us. Silly moments from individual people. But when you put that all aside and you move on each week, which we've done, we get the rewards that we're finding now. “Every year I'll come out of the team sometimes because I've not been performing, which is fair enough. I've always said that. But I'll never shy away from working behind the scenes to get back in. And I've done that and the managers put the trust in me to put me back out there.” Campbell is revelling in his role behind the two strikers in a 3-5-2 formation. Identified as a No 10 at the start of the season, the 24-year-old lost his place during Hibs winless run before making two consecutive starts for the team. “It just gives them [strikers Elie Youan and Martin Boyle] the freedom to do what they want because I'm happy to do other people's running,” explained Campbell. “I'll do the man-and-a-half run. So it allows them to have the freedom of floating about the front line and doing what they want. And I'll throw myself about. “It's a new position. Well, not new now, but I'm more an eight. Box to box, as you say. But I'm happy to do it as a 10 because I love being the box and scoring goals and having chances. I think I'm a threat.” Next up for Campbell and Co is a home match against another resurgent team in Kilmarnock, who smashed Aberdeen 4-0 at the same time as Hibs were winning the derby. Both teams are on 21 points and Hibs will be keen to back up their own run of three victories over Ross County, the Dons and Hearts. “The next game's at home, which is brilliant,” added Campbell. “Fans will be delighted with that. If we win that, we're close to the the top six. And then the season's turned right round, isn't it? So yeah, we're looking forward to it. “It’s exactly how quick it can turn. This league is mental. It can turn the click of a finger. But no, as you said, we're looking forward to Sunday.”

( MENAFN - Jordan Times) We all know the obvious impacts of violence and the destruction it causes, but what are some of the hidden impacts of war and conflict on people and societies? Last week, I came across two articles that grabbed my attention. The first is titled“If Guns Go Silent, the Sound of the Poor Grows Louder”, written in Arabic by renowned Palestinian-Israeli lawyer and academic Zaki Kamal, with whom I have exchanged articles and engaged in meaningful dialogue. I greatly benefit from his sober and objective analysis of Israeli politics. He typically writes about the impact of Israel's policies on Israel itself, the occupied territories and the nearby Arab countries. In this article, he specifically presents data highlighting how Israel's most recent war efforts have come at the lofty cost of lower growth rates, a weakened economy and bigger budget deficits, all of which have exacerbated the economic woes of the less fortunate segments of Israeli society. Mr Kamal provides clear and direct examples of how these wars have made it significantly more difficult for fragile and lower-income groups in Israel to access healthcare, nutrition and education. These wars have primarily impacted labour-intensive investments, while severing much of the income generated from tourism, which in turn has decimated the livelihoods of many service industry workers. The heavy cost of war always impacts the poor and working class of Israeli society, not just in fiduciary terms, but also in-kind. For instance, the constant stoppage of electricity impacts those without access to alternatives the most. This war campaign has also led to the mass relocation of people living in kibbutzim and subsidised colonial outposts. These massive inconveniences are adding to the daily burdens of people, pushing them to protest in the streets against the increased impoverishment and deprivation. On the other hand, my son Ali, who acts as my research assistant and helps with editorial work, brought to my attention a book called“The Better Angels of Our Nature” by Harvard Professor of evolutionary psychology and cognitive science, and one of the pioneers of psycholinguistics, Dr. Steven Pinker. The book, published in 2011, provides optimistic datasets on the decline of war and violence in the world. Pinker posits that since the turn of the 20th century, the rates of death from war have dropped significantly in comparison to the centuries prior. He makes his argument through seven key points: 1) Long-term historical trends, 2) The civilizing process, 3) The role of democracy, 4) The spread of international laws and institutions, 5) The decline of interstate wars, 6) The changing nature of warfare, and 7) Moral and cultural progress. This brings us to the disparity and distinctions between the two aforementioned authors. On the one hand, Mr Kamal highlights how even with the advent of high-tech advancements and a shared, deeply rooted historical trauma, a society can still inflict unimaginable harm on other peoples and countries, despite possessing, on the other hand, what Pinker refers to as attributes that should make them reject violence. If one were to look at any of the major data references in the world today, they would find that there are between 56 and 100 active conflicts. According to the“Global Peace Index” (GPI), the world is currently at a crossroads. According to their latest report, published out of London in June of this year, there is frightening evidence that violence is expected to grow and reach explosive levels. This conclusion is supported by the following facts: 1) 97 countries“deteriorated in peacefulness” this year, the highest number since 2008. The wars in Gaza and Ukraine are attributed as the main causes of this spike. 2) Ninety Two countries are currently engaged in conflicts outside of their borders. 3) There are 110 million people who are either refugees or internally displaced. So, while from a philosophical and psychological perspective, one can conclude that violence is tampering down, there is ample statistical evidence suggesting that the potential for increased violence is heating up and moving us in the opposite direction. The world population has grown eightfold, from 1 billion to 8 billion, in the last 100 years. If the world was much more violent when there were significantly fewer people, we should be wary of the potential for violence to erupt in a world where the population now exceeds 8 billion. We are now faced with existential threats the likes of which we have never seen before. Dr Zaki Kamal is correct in drawing our attention to the hard realities of the poor, and of poverty-which is growing rapidly-and how they are impacted in times of war. Although Professor Pinker's sociological and historical approach paints a picture of a world headed in the right direction, this is not an adequate remedy to pacify our fears of a highly asymmetrical and volatile world. In fact, the world looks more like that of H.G. Wells'“The Time Machine”.

A young TikToker learning to live with long COVID educates about chronic illnessUnisys Corporation Announcement: If You Have Suffered Losses In Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS), You Are Encouraged To Contact The Rosen Law Firm About Your RightsCINCINNATI (AP) — The Cincinnati Bengals have found all manner of ways to lose close games this season. Sunday's 44-38 loss to AFC North rival Pittsburgh can be blamed on a defense that missed tackles and allowed 520 yards of offense, and three turnovers by Joe Burrow. It's become a familiar story in this disappointing season. Cincinnati (4-8) keeps scoring lots of points but can't close out games. Seven of the Bengals’ eight losses this year have been by one score. Burrow has stopped talking about the possibility of going on a run and making the playoffs. He'd just like to win another game or two. “Playoffs are the furthest thing from my mind,” the fifth-year quarterback said. “You never know what can happen, so I’ll keep putting one foot in front of the other and try to be the best player I can be for the rest of the season, week in and week out.” The Bengals allowed Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson to throw for a season-high 414 yards and three touchdowns. After Wilson threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown, the Steelers (9-3) scored on seven of their last nine possessions. They didn't punt until early in the fourth quarter. Burrow lost two fumbles and threw an interception. “We haven’t done enough to earn the win,” coach Zac Taylor said. “It’s a simple as that. It’s nobody else’s fault but our own. We haven’t earned it.” Turnovers aside, Burrow had another strong game, finishing with 28 for 38 for 309 yards with three touchdowns. Burrow is having a great season statistically, and he hasn't hidden his disappointment and frustration about Cincinnati's narrow losses. ... WR Ja'Marr Chase had a touchdown catch to bring his league-leading total to 13. The defense missed tackles and couldn't hold off the Steelers, even with Burrow keeping the game close. It didn’t help that LB Logan Wilson (knee) and DT Sheldon Rankins (illness) had to sit out. The Bengals have allowed 34 or more points six times, including in four of the past five games. Cincinnati became the first NFL team to lose four games in a season in which it scored 33 points or more. RB Chase Brown has been dependable as the featured back since Zack Moss went down with a neck injury. He rushed for 70 yards and a touchdown against the Steelers. He also had three catches for 30 yards. The second-year back has 677 yards rushing and six TDs. “He’s really coming along, improving his game every single week,” Burrow said. “Pass game, run game, running hard, understanding his protection responsibilities. He’s a guy that practices hard, plays hard, and a guy you can count on.” The Bengals' coaching staff. Something has got to give. There was no excuse for the defense to play this badly after a bye week. The unit gave up 500-plus yards for the second time this season. None were reported in the game. 30.3 — The average points per game by the Bengals against teams with a .500 or better record this season. They are 0-7 in those games. The Bengals will try to regroup before facing the Dallas Cowboys (5-7) next Monday night. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL
