MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said he was caught off guard by reports early Tuesday that linebacker Shaq Barrett wants to unretire. The two-time Super Bowl winner signed a one-year deal with the Dolphins in March, then abruptly announced his retirement on social media in July, just days before the start of Miami's training camp. “Just to be candid, obviously there's a reason why you target and sign somebody," McDaniel said Tuesday afternoon. “I was fully caught off guard, or caught by surprise this morning as I found out.” McDaniel indicated the Dolphins have not had any conversations with Barrett recently. Miami holds the 32-year-old’s contractual rights. ESPN first reported the news. “It was kind of news as you guys got it,” McDaniel said. He also said he hasn't had a chance to think about Barrett potentially rejoining the team, and that his immediate focus is on Miami's Thursday night game at Green Bay. “The team is counting on me to think about the Packers,” he said. "I'll get with (GM) Chris (Grier), and we'll work through that. There's a ton of implications that go along with it in terms of team and roster stuff, so we'll work through that as we just got the news today.” Barrett has 400 tackles, 59 sacks, 22 forced fumbles and three interceptions in nine seasons — four with Denver and five with Tampa Bay. He was a second-team All-Pro with the Buccaneers in 2019, with a league-high 19 1/2 sacks. The Dolphins waived veteran safety Marcus Maye on Tuesday and activated rookie safety Patrick McMorris from injured reserve. Maye, who signed with the Dolphins in June, played in 11 games with three starts for Miami this season. He had 30 tackles and a tackle for loss. He could re-sign to the team's practice squad if he clears waivers. Maye previously played for New Orleans, but was cut in a money-saving move in March after two seasons with the Saints. Maye's release made room on the roster for McMorris, who was drafted in the sixth round by Miami in April. He began the season on injured reserve because of a calf injury.

Snowfall paints Kashmir white

WASHINGTON (AP) — The State Department said Monday it is not actively reviewing the “foreign terrorist organization” designation of the main Syrian this weekend. But, it said such designations are constantly under review, and that even while it's in place, the label does not bar U.S. officials from speaking with the group. “There is no specific review related to what happened” over the weekend, State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters. “That said, we are always reviewing. Based on their actions, there could be a change in our sanctions posture, but we have nothing today.” He said a review could be initiated if , known as HTS, takes steps to reverse the reasons for its designation. That would be , he said. The designation imposes numerous sanctions against those targeted, including a ban on the provision of “material support” to such groups, although Miller said that would not necessarily prevent discussions between its members and U.S. officials. HTS will be an “important component” in and the U.S. needs to “engage with them, appropriately, and with U.S. interests in mind,” said a senior administration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. Miller cited the case of the Trump administration negotiating with the Taliban over the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, but later conceded that the Taliban has never been designated in the same way. Instead, the Taliban was listed as a “specially designated terrorist organization,” a label that comes with less stringent sanctions. Nevertheless, Miller said U.S. officials “do have the ability, when it is in our interest, legally to communicate with a designated terrorist organization.” Meanwhile, President Joe Biden and Jordan’s King Abdullah II spoke by phone about the rapidly evolving situation in Syria and joint efforts to the situation, according to the White House. In their call, Biden and the Jordanian monarch also discussed the dozens of U.S. airstrikes conducted on Sunday targeting IS leaders and fighters in the Syrian desert as well as ongoing efforts to reach a ceasefire and hostage deal in Gaza. The call came as Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs John Bass and Assistant Secretary for Near Eastern Affairs Barbara Leaf were in the region holding consultations with key partners. They are in Amman, Jordan, on Monday and were in Doha, Qatar, over the weekend, the State Department said. More than a million into neighboring Jordan since the civil war ignited in 2011, and officials in Amman are hoping to avoid another refugee crisis following the fall of Assad’s government. “The President emphasized the support of the United States for the stability of Jordan and Jordan’s central role in maintaining stability and de-escalating tensions throughout the Middle East region,” the White House said in a statement. Separately, the State Department said the U.S. had arranged with local groups to secure the shuttered U.S. Embassy compound in Damascus, which suspended operations in 2012 and had been until recently under the protection of the Czech Embassy. The Czechs, however, closed their own embassy in Damascus as the situation in the capital grew more uncertain. It would not say with what groups the U.S. made the arrangements. Matthew Lee And Aamer Madhani, The Associated PressOTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said dealing with incoming president Donald Trump and his thundering on trade will be "a little more challenging" than the last time he was in the White House. Speaking at an event put on by the Halifax Chamber of Commerce, Trudeau said that's because Trump's team is coming in with a much clearer set of ideas of what they want to do right away than after his first election win in 2016. Even still, Trudeau said the answer is not to panic and said Canada can rally together to address the tough scenario the nation will face following Trump's inauguration in January. Trump has threatened 25 per cent tariffs against Canada and Mexico, if the two nations do not beef up their borders to his satisfaction. On the weekend, Trump appeared in an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press," where the president-elect said he can't guarantee the tariffs won't raise prices for U.S. consumers but that eventually tariffs will "make us rich." "All I want to do is I want to have a level, fast, but fair playing field," he said. Trudeau warned that steep tariffs could be "devastating for the Canadian economy" and cause "just horrific losses in all of our communities," and that Trump's approach is to introduce "a bit of chaos" to destabilize his negotiating partners. But he also said that Canada exports a range of goods to the U.S., from steel and aluminum to crude oil and agricultural commodities, all of which would get more expensive and mean real hardship for Americans at the same time. "For years, Americans have been paying more for their homes than they should because of unjust tariffs on softwood lumber. Maybe this level of tariffs will actually have them realize that this is something they are doing to themselves," Trudeau said. "Trump got elected on a commitment to make life better and more affordable for Americans, and I think people south of the border are beginning to wake up to the real reality that tariffs on everything from Canada would make life a lot more expensive." Experts, including Canada's former top trade negotiator Steve Verheul, have warned the country needs to be ready to respond if Trump goes through with his tariff threats. The prime minister said his government is still mulling over "the right ways" to respond, referencing Canada's calculated approach when Trump hit Canada with steel and aluminum tariffs. "It was the fact that we put tariffs on bourbon and Harley-Davidsons and playing cards and Heinz ketchup and cherries and a number of other things that were very carefully targeted because they were politically impactful to the president's party and colleagues," he said. That's how Canada was able to "punch back in a way that was actually felt by Americans," he added. Trudeau also said the country needs to rally together and work past its political differences. He offered up some rare words of praise for Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe — a frequent political thorn in his side and "no big fan of mine" — as one of Canada's strongest voices during that tumultuous time period when NAFTA was under threat. "His voice with governors down south, his making the case for Canadian workers and Canadian trade in a way that complemented the arguments that we were making, did a better job of showing what Canadian unity was and (what) Canada's negotiating position could be to a United States that has a political system that is incredibly fractured and fractious," Trudeau said. On Sunday, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said "every single Conservative would tell every single American" that tariffs on Canada would be a bad idea — and also took time to bill Trudeau as a weak leader. One member of his caucus, Conservative MP Jamil Jivani, said he had dinner with incoming vice-president JD Vance and British Conservative Leader Kemi Badenoch over the weekend in Arlington, Va. He said it's crucial right now to be building "strong relationships with our allies."

A sombre day in Birmingham as victims of the bombings are remembered

December 2024 Altcoin Watchlist with Top 5 Coins – The Next Crypto Titans Are Here!Many of us take navigation for granted; when we're lost, we simply pull out our phones and open Google Maps to find where we are. You could even ask Siri to give you directions if you don't want to be bothered getting your iPhone out of your pocket. You don't need Wi-Fi or a mobile data connection to find your location, either. As long as your phone has a pre-loaded map of your area, it can accurately place you anywhere on Earth so long as you can see the sky. So, whether you're walking in an urban jungle, trekking through the woods, climbing a mountain, sailing the seas, or even soaring through the sky at 35,000 feet, your phone can tell you where you are. This technological marvel that allows us to find our way around is powered by GPS, and it's available in every smartphone, many tablets, several car models, and even smartwatches. But what exactly is GPS, and how does it know where you are? GPS means Global Positioning System, and it uses a constellation of satellites to help you locate where you are. The U.S. military developed a satellite-based navigation system called Transit in the 1960s to help its missile submarines get accurate fixes, allowing them to launch their deadly nuclear payloads with extreme accuracy. But in 1973, the Department of Defense launched the current Global Positioning System, eventually supplanting Transit in 1995, making GPS one of the military inventions we use daily . However, the key event that led the U.S. government to make GPS available for civilian use was the tragic shooting down of the Korean Airlines 007 in 1983. Investigations revealed that the pilots used the wrong navigation mode, and since they had no access to GPS, they could not accurately determine where they were, causing them to stray into Soviet Air Space. Because of this, they were shot down by a Soviet fighter plane, resulting in the loss of 269 passengers. This event pushed President Reagan to make GPS available for civilian use. While it formerly required dedicated receivers to use, technological advancements have allowed even the smallest of devices, like smartphones and smartwatches, to come equipped with it. When combined with other technologies like Bluetooth, it can make navigation and location extremely accurate — much like how an Apple AirTag works . Before satellites were invented, mariners used celestial navigation to find their place on Earth. They used a tool like a sextant to measure the angle of a certain star above the horizon, marking the exact time that they saw that star, knowing that they were sitting along the circumference of a circle with the star at its center. They could then repeat this procedure for two more stars, and they'll be able to find their exact location on the globe. GPS navigation uses the same principle, but instead of relying on stars or the sun to find our location, our devices use satellite signals. We currently have over 30 GPS satellites orbiting the Earth at around 20,200 kilometers or about 12,550 miles above us, with at least four always visible from any point on Earth's surface. Your device would look for at least four satellites to find its position. Once it detects the signals from these satellites, it can automatically compute its location, giving you almost real-time information with an accuracy of 16 to 100 feet or 5 to 30 meters. One thing you might notice is that while celestial navigation uses three reference points to help you find an accurate position, GPS uses four satellites. The sailors of old typically used flat maps to find their position, so three reference points would suffice. Since GPS devices move in three dimensions, you need a fourth satellite so that you can find your precise location in space. Aside from that, your device also needs precise time-keeping to ensure that you get the most accurate signal from just three satellites. This means that our phones must be equipped with an atomic clock if we want to know that we're getting accurate directions. Since these devices are expensive and typically thicker than a phone, it would be inconvenient to have them in our device. Instead, GPS uses a fourth satellite to verify the information that you receive, allowing you to get high accuracy. As the name suggests, GPS is a complete system, meaning it has many different segments. While we only think of the satellites (Space Segment) and our own devices (User Segment) as the parts of GPS, it also has one other important segment: the Control Segment. The Control Segment is a network of ground facilities that monitor the 31 GPS satellites currently orbiting the Earth to ensure that they're exactly where we need them to be and that they're sending the correct data. This is also the team that maintains the satellites, ensuring that they're all up to date, and maneuvers them to the correct location as needed, ensuring that all GPS users will see a minimum of four satellites all the time. This segment consists of a master control station at Schriever Air Force Base in Colorado, an alternate master control station at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, 11 command and control antennas, and 16 monitoring sites located globally. The 16 monitoring sites track and measure the GPS satellites and forward the data to the master control stations. This is then processed by the master control station, and, if it needs to send out a command, it does so via the 11 command and control antennas. This ensures that GPS is working 24/7, ensuring accurate and precise navigation data for all of its users. While GPS is synonymous with satellite navigation today, it's not the only one that provides this service. The generic term for GPS is actually GNSS, or global navigation satellite system, and other countries and organizations have built their own. China has the BeiDou Navigation System (BNS), which was formally commissioned in 2020 and has 35 satellites, while the EU has Galileo, which was launched in 2016 and has over 24 satellites at the moment. Russia also has GLONASS, which is called Globalnaya Navigazionnaya Sptunikovaya Sistema in Russian or Global Navigation Satellite System in English. Aside from these, India also has the India Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS), which is now renamed to Navigation Indian Constellation (NavIC) and has seven satellites to cover the Indian Region. Japan also launched the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS), with four satellites in 2018, and currently has more than seven satellites, all focused on East Asia and Oceania. All these GNSS services could work on the same phone, provided that your manufacturer supports it. That's why Google Maps changed the navigation game ; by being able to use many different GNSS providers (based on your phone), it could deliver the best, most accurate mapping and navigation service to just about anyone with a smart device.

Meanwhile, streams of refugees crossed back into Syria from neighbouring countries, hoping for a more peaceful future and looking for relatives who disappeared during Mr Assad’s brutal rule. There were already signs of the difficulties ahead for the rebel alliance now in control of much of the country. The alliance is led by a former senior al-Qaida militant, who severed ties with the extremist group years ago and has promised representative government and religious tolerance. The rebel command said they would not tell women how to dress. “It is strictly forbidden to interfere with women’s dress or impose any request related to their clothing or appearance, including requests for modesty,” the command said in a statement on social media. Nearly two days after rebels entered the capital, some key government services had shut down after state workers ignored calls to go back to their jobs, the UN official said, causing issues at airports and borders and slowing the flow of humanitarian aid. Rebel leader Ahmad al-Sharaa, who was known by his nom de guerre Abu Mohammed al-Golani, also met with Prime Minister Mohammad Ghazi Jalali for the first time. Mr Jalali stayed in Syria when Mr Assad fled and has sought to project normalcy since. “We are working so that the transitional period is quick and smooth,” he told Sky News Arabia TV on Monday, saying the security situation had already improved from the day before. At the court of Justice in Damascus, which was stormed by the rebels to free detainees, Judge Khitam Haddad, an aide to the justice minister in the outgoing government, said that judges were ready to resume work quickly. “We want to give everyone their rights,” Mr Haddad said outside the courthouse. “We want to build a new Syria and to keep the work, but with new methods.” But a UN official said some government services had been paralysed as worried state employees stayed at home. The public sector “has just come to a complete and abrupt halt,” said Adam Abdelmoula, UN resident and humanitarian co-ordinator for Syria, noting, for example, that an aid flight carrying urgently needed medical supplies had been put on hold after aviation employees abandoned their jobs. “This is a country that has had one government for 53 years and then suddenly all of those who have been demonised by the public media are now in charge in the nation’s capital,” Mr Abdelmoula told The Associated Press. “I think it will take a couple of days and a lot of assurance on the part of the armed groups for these people to return to work again.” In a video shared on a rebel messaging channel, Mr al-Sharaa said: “You will see there are skills” among the rebels. The Kremlin said Russia has granted political asylum to Mr Assad, a decision made by President Vladimir Putin. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov declined to comment on Mr Assad’s specific whereabouts and said Mr Putin did not plan to meet with him. Damascus was quiet Monday, with life slowly returning to normal, though most shops and public institutions were closed. In public squares, some people were still celebrating. Civilian traffic resumed, but there was no public transport. Long lines formed in front of bakeries and other food stores. There was little sign of any security presence though in some areas, small groups of armed men were stationed in the streets.

VALPARAISO, Ind. (AP) — Valparaiso hired longtime Marietta coach Andy Waddle as its new football coach, athletic director Laurel Hosmer announced Monday. Waddle is scheduled to be formally introduced on campus Wednesday. He spent the last 12 seasons turning around the Division III program located in Southeastern Ohio. There, he went 55-61 after inheriting a winless team. He led the Pioneers to their first 8-0 start last season and matched the 1920 squad's school record with a 13-game winning streak that started in 2023. In 2024, Marietta made its first postseason appearance since 1973. Waddle went 16-5 over the past two seasons and produced seven winning records over the last eight seasons. The Pioneers had only two winning seasons in the previous 20 years. “I think there is a great group of young men on the (Valparaiso) roster, and we’re excited to invest in those student-athletes and continue to add more high-quality people and football players to the program,” Waddle said of the program located in Indiana's northwest corner. “I think Valpo is not only an outstanding fit for me professionally, but also an outstanding fit for me and my family.” Waddle spent eight seasons working with the defense as an assistant for his alma mater, Wittenberg, where he was an all-conference defensive back. He also has coached at Mansfield University in Pennsylvania and at Maryville College in Tennessee. “His experience building success and winning culture as a head coach, passion for developing student-athletes on and off the field and high character made it clear he was the right leader for our football program,” Hosmer said in a statement. The move comes two weeks after Hosmer announced the school would not give Landon Fox a contract extension after his deal expired. Fox was 21-42 in six seasons at Valparaiso.

AP college football: https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-football-poll and https://apnews.com/hub/college-footballThe year in review: Influential people who died in 2024Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Friday denounced the International Criminal Court’s issuing of an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying he would defy it by inviting him to Hungary. In comments to state radio, Mr. Orban accused the International Criminal Court (ICC), the world’s top war crimes court based in The Hague, of “interfering in an ongoing conflict for political purposes,” saying the decision to issue the warrant for Mr. Netanyahu over his conduct of the war in Gaza undermined international law and escalated tensions. Member countries of the ICC, such as Hungary, are required to detain suspects facing a warrant if they set foot on their soil, but the court has no way to enforce that. The ICC issued the arrest warrant on Thursday for Mr. Netanyahu as well as for his former defence minister and Hamas’ military chief, accusing them of crimes against humanity in connection with the 13-month war in Gaza. The warrants said there was reason to believe Mr. Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant used “starvation as a method of warfare” by restricting humanitarian aid and intentionally targeted civilians in Israel’s campaign against Hamas in Gaza – charges Israeli officials deny. In his comments Friday, Mr. Orban, a close Netanyahu ally, called the arrest warrant “outrageously impudent” and “cynical.” He said he would invite Mr. Netanyahu to Hungary later Friday and vowed to disregard the warrant if the invitation is accepted. “We will defy this decision, and it will have no consequences for him,” Mr. Orban said. Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto earlier criticised the ICC’s warrant as “absurd.” Israel and its top ally, the United States, are not members of the court. But other Israeli allies, including some of its close European friends, are put in an awkward position by the warrants. Several, including France, welcomed the court’s decision and signalled they might arrest Mr. Netanyahu if he visited. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said President Joe Biden’s administration was “deeply concerned by the prosecutor’s rush to seek arrest warrants and the troubling process errors that led to this decision.” Mr. Netanyahu on Friday praised Hungary for its stance on the warrant, saying in a statement: “Against the shameful weakness of those who stood by the outrageous decision against the right of the State of Israel to defend itself, Hungary – like our friends in the United States – is displaying moral clarity and standing by justice and truth.” The action by the ICC came as the death toll from Israel’s campaign in Gaza passed 44,000, according to local health authorities, who say more than half of those killed were women and children. Their count does not differentiate between civilians and combatants.

Karu calls on President to reinstate oversight committees and strengthen democracyIt takes a lot of shock pop culture fans these days, but Rita Ora managed to do it. The British pop star is known for her sexy, feminine style . But Ora walked the red carpet at the 2024 British Fashion Awards in her masculine take on ’80s power dressing. After the annual fundraiser and awards show, the “Your Song” singer took to social media to explain herself. Rita Ora leaves fans speechless with ’80s style Ora joined dozens of celebrities from the UK and beyond to celebrate outstanding contributions to the fashion industry over the past year, including exceptional talent in womenswear and menswear. The “Anywhere” singer looked almost unrecognizable in a Primark pinstripe three-piece suit with exaggerated shoulder pads. Showcasing her ever-evolving style, Ora added wide-leg pants, a classic striped button-up, and a pink patterned tie. She accessorized with gigantic silver coil earrings, stacks of metal cuffs, and nearly one statement ring per finger. Perhaps most shocking were Ora’s choices regarding the hair on her head. The 34-year-old bleached her eyebrows to a barely-there blonde shade. She embraced an iconic ’80s hairstyle, the mullet, via a matching bleach-blonde wig. Celebrity hairstylist Rio Sreedharan applied the piece, creating volume up top and curly tendrils down the back of Ora’s neck. Sreedharan has been known to push boundaries. He’s worked with clients like Bella Hadid, Naomi Campbell, and Cara Delevingne to create avant-garde looks. Rita Ora gives an explanation for her look Ora took to social media to explain the meaning behind her business attire at the British Fashion Awards. In an Instagram Story, she said, “Let me talk to you about the inspiration. I wanted timeless with an edge. The mismatching hair just feels so classic and iconic. We decided to pick this oversized suit that has loads of different colors, architectural jewelry, and a twist on a timeless suit.” Ora credited ISAMAYA Beauty for her glossy bronzed copper lip and lashes. Ora walked the red carpet with her mom, Vera Sahatçiu, who wore a complimentary suit in several shades of gray. Vera, a mental health advocate and psychiatrist, collaborated with her daughter on a clothing line for Primark. The Irish fashion retailer label happens to be a patron of the British Fashion Awards, it even more appropriate for Rita to debut her look. She and her mom custom-designed both suits. They’ll be available in stores next year — perfect for fans who want to emulate her look.
