1 2 3 4 Hyderabad: President Droupadi Murmu has said that citizens of the country maintained the flame of national unity for centuries despite attempts to fragment and undermine Indian society. Inaugurating the RSS-backed three-day Lokmanthan event here on Friday, Murmu said artificial divisions have been created to disrupt the inherent unity and stressed that it was important to instil a sense of ‘nation first' among the citizens. The President said that colonial rulers not only ‘exploited India economically' but also aimed to ‘dismantle its social fabric'. She pointed out that those who overlooked India's profound intellectual heritage fostered a sense of cultural inadequacy among the populace. "These impositions eroded our sense of togetherness. Centuries of oppression ingrained a mindset of servitude among the citizens," she said. She emphasised that the essence of Bharatiya (Indian-ness) sustained the spirit of national unity. "Regardless of whether we are ‘vanvasis' (forest dwellers), residents of rural areas or urban citizens, our primary identity is that of being Indians. This profound sense of national unity enabled us to remain cohesive in the face of various challenges," she said. President Murmu underscored India's historical global impact, asserting that the nation's religious traditions, artistic expressions, musical heritage, medical practices, technological advancements, languages and literary contributions have garnered widespread respect. "Indian philosophical systems are pioneers in presenting the world with the concept of ideal life values. We must uphold and reinforce the esteemed legacy of our forebearers," she said. Telangana governor Jishnu Dev Varma said that citizens should thrive and make the commitment to retain the unity in diversity in the country. "Each state has worked on this. All of us combined should take the country forward," he said. Union coal minister G Kishan Reddy, Telangana women and child welfare minister Seethakka and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat attended the event. The three-day event of nationalist thinkers will see the presence of Union ministers Nirmala Sitharaman and Gajendra Shekhawat.WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump said Saturday that he wants real estate developer Charles Kushner , father of Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, to serve as ambassador to France. Trump made the announcement in a Truth Social post, calling Charles Kushner “a tremendous business leader, philanthropist, & dealmaker." Kushner is the founder of Kushner Companies, a real estate firm. Jared Kushner is a former White House senior adviser to Trump who is married to Trump’s eldest daughter, Ivanka. The elder Kushner was pardoned by Trump in December 2020 after pleading guilty years earlier to tax evasion and making illegal campaign donations. Prosecutors alleged that after Charles Kushner discovered his brother-in-law was cooperating with federal authorities in an investigation, he hatched a scheme for revenge and intimidation. Kushner hired a prostitute to lure his brother-in-law, then arranged to have the encounter in a New Jersey motel room recorded with a hidden camera and the recording sent to his own sister, the man’s wife, prosecutors said. Kushner eventually pleaded guilty to 18 counts including tax evasion and witness tampering. He was sentenced in 2005 to two years in prison — the most he could receive under a plea deal, but less than what Chris Christie, the U.S. attorney for New Jersey at the time and later governor and Republican presidential candidate, had sought. Christie has blamed Jared Kushner for his firing from Trump’s transition team in 2016, and has called Charles Kushner’s offenses “one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes that I prosecuted when I was U.S. attorney.” Trump and the elder Kushner knew each other from real estate circles and their children were married in 2009. Tucker reported from Newtown, Pennsylvania.

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — A police officer responding to a report of a man with a gun inside a North Carolina supermarket was fatally shot Monday and authorities said a suspect was later taken into custody, authorities say. Police announced the death of Greensboro police officer Michael Horan at a news conference, saying Horan was responding to the report when he was shot shortly before midday at a Food Lion store in Greensboro in the central part of the state. Ramona Miller told WGHP-TV she was shopping with her 6-year-old granddaughter when she heard shots being fired. “We were on our way out and I was purchasing a lottery ticket and I was just sitting there and heard a ‘pop-pop’ and then ‘pop-pop-pop.’ I think I heard five shots,” Miller said. “At first I didn’t know it was a shooting ... but an employee yelled out ‘shooting! shooting!’ ” Miller said she and her granddaughter left the store, adding police had already arrived soon afterward. Authorities said Monday afternoon that the circumstances of the shooting remain under investigation and they did not immediately release further specifics how it unfolded. The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, the state's lead law enforcement agency, is continuing the investigation. Horan was hired in 2017 and became a sworn Greensboro Police Department officer in early 2018, Assistant Police Chief Milford J. Harris said. Horan served in the department’s patrol bureau. He also was a longtime U.S. Coast Guard member since 2000, according to his LinkedIn profile. “He was an excellent officer. He had an outstanding reputation inside the department and in the community,” Harris said at the news conference. Elsewhere, Gov. Roy Cooper said he has been monitoring the day's developments. Cooper said on the social media platform X that his office had sent a “significant” number of state law enforcement officers to help aid in the emergency response in Greensboro. A heavy police presence was spotted outside the grocery store in Greensboro afterward. The store will remain closed while authorities continue their investigation, Food Lion said in a statement, adding it was providing resources to its affected workers. It directed all questions to local law enforcement and said it was cooperating with the investigation. The shooting was another reminder that state lawmakers should strengthen resources and improve safety for law enforcement officers, said Democratic state Sen. Michael Garrett, who represents part of Guilford County where Greensboro is located. “During what should be a time of joy and celebration, another brave officer has been shot in the line of duty. Another family’s holiday season forever changed,” Garrett said in a Facebook statement.

Top cancer doctor accused of duping dementia-ridden relative into changing will to give her $750K apartment By NIC WHITE FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 10:29 EST, 30 November 2024 | Updated: 10:46 EST, 30 November 2024 e-mail 6 View comments The daughter of a prominent fashion editor claims a top cancer doctor and distant relative duped her into signing over her apartment while he was suffering from dementia. Jo Ann Paganette died at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City on April 30, aged 85, six years after a stroke that brought on her condition. Her daughter Georgia Lee Sarah Andrews expected to inherit her one-bedroom apartment at 152 East 94th Street on NYC's Upper East Side. But she discovered Paganette had changed her will to instead give her home to Dr Ann Marie Egloff, an oncologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. The head and neck cancer specialist is distantly related to Paganette, whose mother's maiden name is Egloff. DNA testing confirmed all three women were related. Egloff, 58, put the apartment up for sale for $749,000 and Andrews sued her in Manhattan Supreme Court on Wednesday, seeking to block the sale. Dr Ann Marie Egloff, an oncologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, is accused of duping her relative into signing over her apartment while he was suffering from dementia Jo Ann Paganette died at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City on April 30, aged 85, six years after a stroke that brought on dementia Paganette gave up her daughter for adoption as a baby in 1966, but Andrews wrote in her lawsuit that she later pursued a relationship with her. She claimed the pair remained close and Paganette named her as the beneficiary in her will in 1986, leaving her the apartment. Egloff only got involved last July, Andrews claimed, when was moved to the Upper East Side Rehabilitation and Nursing Center. Andrews claimed a lawyer for Egloff showed up and tried to get the ailing woman to sign what appeared to be estate planning papers. Doctors objected because Paganette was 'under the influence of psychotropic medication', the lawsuit claimed. 'Dr Egloff throughout her involvement in the decedent's affairs took steps to isolate the decedent from the rest of her family,' the lawsuit claimed. A trust was eventually set up in March this year and the co-op shares were transferred into it by April 18, less than two weeks before her death, by AKAM Living Services. Andrews is also suing AKAM, a property management company. Egloff tried to claim Andrews was not Paganette's biological daughter soon after her death, according to the lawsuit, but the DNA tests proved otherwise. The one-bedroom apartment is at 152 East 94th Street on NYC's Upper East Side Egloff (far right) with colleagues at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston Paganette was a professor at the Fashion Institute of Technology and was a retail editor for several magazine in NYC, including Neiman Marcus magazine, and a founding member of the Women's Jewelry Association. Her obituary detailed that she was born in Detroit to and earned her BA from Marygrove College, then graduate studies at the University of Detroit and Wayne State University, majoring in journalism and English. After winning the College Board Competition at Mademoiselle magazine, she became a fashion accessories copywriter for Hudson's in Detroit, before moving to NYC. 'She was an FIT professor, writer, and frequent judge of national and international advertising competitions. Her books featured the best photographers, artists and writers of the 1970s to 2000s,' the obit detailed. She often wrote under the name 'Paganetti' and is known by both name variations professionally. Signs of Paganette's dementia after her stroke appeared in scathing reviews from her FIT students on Rate My Professor. Students overwhelmingly portrayed her as rude, stuck in her ways, disorganized, and generally difficult to deal with, and had problems following her lectures. 'She talks about nonsense and barely explains the material... Her emails are unclear, shes really rude, and condescending,' one student wrote. Egloff, 58, put the apartment up for sale for $749,000 and Andrews sued her in Manhattan Supreme Court on Wednesday, seeking to block the sale Another added: 'You could tell how unclear and messy she is just by the syllabus.' A third wrote that Paganette was 'doing her best' but 'just rambles on the entire class'. 'She seems like she is very knowledgeable if only you could understand and hear the words that are actually coming out of her mouth,' another added. A particularly scathing review claimed: 'I cannot stress this enough, do not take her class. She is very inconsistent, unorganized, condescending, and rude. 'She is narrow-minded and will not listen to ideas that aren't hers. The class itself is an easy-A but it is not emotionally worth it.' Egloff's ad for the apartment noted it was an 'estate sale' and described it as a 'welcoming Art Deco co-op built in 1937'. 'This freshly painted, north and west facing, fifth floor co-op apartment looks over the serene tree-lined street of brownstones on East 94th street,' it read. The ad spruiked the hardwood floors, five large closets, eight-foot beamed ceilings, a separate dining room, oversized corner windows, and a grand living area with room for dining, custom built-ins. The was also a windowed kitchen with dishwasher, and the building had two elevators, a bike room, storage, and onsite laundry.

Young's fans can point to numbers and say he's an elite player. His detractors can point to numbers and say he's overrated. Both arguments have validity. To some, his cocky ways are endearing. To others, they're infuriating. This can't be argued: He's helping Atlanta author one of the season's surprise stories. The Hawks are in the NBA Cup semifinals, set to play Milwaukee on Saturday before the other semifinal between Oklahoma City and Houston. The title game is Tuesday night. “When we talk about Trae, the word I like to use is evolution,” Hawks coach Quin Snyder said. “And every player evolves. They just evolve in different ways. He's been an important part of our young guys' growth and being able to elevate them.” The Hawks haven't had a ton of big moments in Young's seven seasons. But he has shown a propensity for rising to the occasion: ousting New York in the 2021 playoffs, ousting the Knicks from the quarterfinals of this tournament to get to Las Vegas — and now comes another chance on national TV on Saturday, facing the Bucks with a chance to play for a trophy. “I feel like this team has been embracing the challenge each and every night from the beginning of the season,” Young said. “We haven’t looked too far ahead in any moment. We’re just taking it day by day. Even though early on in the season we may have had some struggles and some bumps in the road and some guys out, we stuck with the process and focus on each day." Here's part of the pro-Young argument: He's averaging 21 points and 12 assists something that only Magic Johnson and Isiah Thomas have done over a full season, and he's on pace to lead the league in assist average for the first time. Here's part of the anti-Young argument: Among the 220 players with at least 50 3-point attempts this season he ranks 189th at 30.8%, and of the 248 players with at least 100 field goal attempts this season he ranks 231st at 38.4%. Choose your side. They're both valid. But it's clear that Young — who made no secret that he was upset over not being picked for the team that won gold for USA Basketball at the Paris Olympics this past summer — is growing and maturing. “He’s doing a better job on both ends of the floor,” Bucks coach Doc Rivers said. “Defensively he’s figured out a way of keeping himself out of actions. I know that sounds easy. That’s hard to do, and he’s brilliant at it, he really is. ... He must be really studying the game on both ends of the floor, and you can see that in his play. And he’s earned the trust of his players. This team likes playing with him, that’s obvious. I couldn’t say that in the past, but now they love playing with him.” Hawks forward Jalen Johnson doesn't deny that point. “He’s so good, man,” Johnson said. "It’s crazy, like just seeing it in person and on TV prior to me playing with the Hawks and getting drafted by the Hawks, it was crazy just watching it. A guy that’s undersized, being able to score at will, being able to make any pass at will. And then next thing you know you’re his teammate and you’re on the receiving end of those passes. “Watching those clutch late game buckets, it’s a joy to watch. It’s a gift that he has that’s very special and not many people have had it at that elite of a level. It’s been great being his teammate. It’s been a blessing.” Saturday is an opportunity. The semifinals are the only games on the NBA calendar for that day; the title game Tuesday — which doesn't count in the standings — is the only game on the NBA slate that night as well. Young will have tons of eyeballs on him Saturday and would have tons more on him Tuesday if the Hawks find a way to win another big game against the Bucks. They're 3-1 against Eastern Conference-leading Cleveland and Boston already this season, 1-0 against Milwaukee. The potential is clear for the Hawks. The potential for Young has always been clear as well. Only now, it's starting to be realized. “The narrative about me not being able to do certain things or being too mad or frustrated about certain things is — I mean, just aren’t true,” Young said. "I think you’re just now being able to see like with the young team we have, just some of the different things we’ve been doing this year, I think just now you’re starting to kind of see it because the results are showing and we’re winning now. We’re here in this final four of the Cup, and it’s a big deal.” AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/NBA
