Bhubaneswar: Maoist activities have come down substantially in Odisha over the last few years, and only 60-70 members of the proscribed organisation are active in the state, a senior BSF officer said on Saturday. Addressing a press conference ahead of the BSF Raising Day on December 1, BSF IG (Frontier HQ - Special Ops) CD Aggarwal said most of the active Maoists in Odisha belong to neighbouring Andhra Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. "Only seven of them are from Odisha and they are not in any leadership roles," he said. According to the Union Home Ministry, seven districts -- Kalahandi, Kandhamal, Bolangir, Malkangiri, Nabarangpur, Nuapada, and Rayagada, have been categorised as Left Wing Extremism (LWE) affected but Maoist activities are mostly confined to the Kalahandi-Kandhamal-Boudh-Nayagarh (KKBN) region, he said. "While significant progress has been made, challenges remain, particularly in the dense forests of Kalahandi, Kandhamal and Boudh where IED threats persist. Additionally, the socio-economic impact of Naxal-linked narcotics trafficking, especially Ganja cultivation, poses new hurdles," Aggarwal said. He said BSF was first deployed in Odisha in 2010 when Naxal violence was at its peak. "The BSF has conducted anti-Maoist operations in some of the most treacherous terrains and neutralised 250-300 Naxalites, recovered arms and explosives and facilitated the surrender of hard-core cadres," he said. "In 2024, three dreaded Naxalites were neutralised and 24 hardcore cadres surrendered. Besides, 34 IEDs, 117 grenades, and a large cache of arms and ammunition were seized in the state," he added. Aggarwal said one of the most significant achievements for the force was transforming the erstwhile cut-off area into 'Swabhiman Anchal'. "The BSF is committed to eradicating Naxalism from Odisha by March 2026, with enhanced coordination with Odisha Police and intelligence agencies, deployment of advanced technologies like drones and satellite surveillance and strengthening community engagement," he said. Fourteen BSF personnel gave their lives while combating Maoists in Odisha since 2010, he said.

A “mystery disease” recently struck the south-western corner of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), killing between 67 and 143 people over two weeks . The disease was reported to cause flu-like symptoms of fever, headache, cough and anaemia. An epidemiologist told Reuters that it was mainly women and children who were seriously affected by the disease. But little else is known about the disease so far. Health officials in the DRC are urgently investigating this incident to identify the cause of this deadly outbreak. Initially, they would consider possible diseases known to be endemic to the region such as malaria, dengue or Chikungunya . However, they are likely to face difficulties detecting the cause because of diagnostic testing infrastructure issues , as well as difficulties with sample collections, transport of those samples to laboratory and testing. In low-income countries, such as the DRC, many clinical laboratories can only test for common pathogens. Limitations in the quality and performance of some of their clinical laboratories are also a problem. If it is not one of the usual suspects, the detection of rarer pathogens often requires samples to be sent to more specialist laboratories that can do specialised tests, such as gene sequencing. This could mean that samples need to be sent to laboratories abroad. However, the international sharing of such biological samples is highly contentious over concerns that the benefits of doing so are often not fairly shared between countries. Another priority for local health officials is to understand the extent and severity of the outbreak. The high mortality and number of cases of people affected are alarming. However, it is not easy to work out the true extent of such outbreaks, as not all infected patients will be detected. Not all infected people seek care. Clinics may be few and far between, especially in remote areas, and are often understaffed. Indeed, the DRC has fewer than two doctors per 10,000 population (by comparison the UK which has more than 31 doctors per 10,000 population). Even if patients did attend a hospital or clinic, not all infections would be diagnosed. Not all patients would be tested for infection, and not all detected infections are reported to the health authorities. The lack of information about the cause, extent and number of infected people makes it hard to accurately assess the threat it poses. But this is not an isolated risk. Outbreaks of new infectious diseases have occurred regularly over the years . This is partly driven by climate change, changing population demography, urbanisation and deforestation that enables the “spillover” of infections from animals to humans. Unfortunately, our global infectious disease radar is broken. Disease surveillance is fragmented globally . In poorer countries, there will be many areas where diseases are not detected or are detected late. Surveillance services are often poorly resourced and understaffed, staff often lack training or supervision, and reporting may not be standardised. There is also often a significant delay from the time a person gets infected, and is diagnosed with the disease, to the time it is reported to the public health authorities . This in turn delays disease control responses to outbreaks. These problems are worse in resource-poor settings, such as in sub-Saharan Africa. What solutions are being tried? One World Health Organization (WHO) initiative being trialled in several countries across Africa, South America and south Asia, is the 7-1-7 initiative . This sets aspirational targets for outbreaks of infectious diseases to be detected within seven days, notified to public health authorities within a day, and seven days to complete an initial response. This is a laudable aim but it may still be too late for fast-moving outbreaks. Another solution is to better integrate and better coordinate existing surveillance activities and systems. One such WHO initiative is Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (IDSR), which has mainly been deployed in Africa over the past two decades. IDSR has had mixed success so far. A recent review found information technology system issues, financial constraints and data-sharing problems, as well as workforce gaps. Other global initiatives include the International Pathogen Surveillance Network brought together by the WHO Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence, and recent efforts to promote collaborative surveillance across different agencies and sectors (from human health to animal health and the environment) to work together and share information as well as expertise. The effectiveness of such initiatives remains to be seen, but they are a step in the right direction. Without better disease surveillance globally, we may not detect the next pandemic until it is too late. Andrew Lee has previously received research funding from the National Institute for Health Research. He is a member of the UK Faculty of Public Health and the Royal Society for Public Health, and has previously worked for Public Health England. He was previously funded by the International Association of National Public Health Institutes as a technical advisor for their global review of disease surveillance.

Some 20 contracts worth a total of $70 million were recently approved for the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office to provide law enforcement and dispatch services and school resource officers for several communities and schools. The deals, finalized late last month by the county Board of Commissioners, include the addition of five addition officer positions and two vehicles in all – led by three deputy posts and one vehicle in Lenox Township, a sergeant and vehicle in Harrison Township and a sergeant in Macomb Township. A sergeant in Washington Township is expected to be added, too. The addition of sergeants on Harrison and Washington give those communities a single leader of the local police force for the first time. The three-year deals cover 2025-27 and have already been approved by the municipalities and school districts. Sheriff’s Cmdr. Jason Abro told the board at a committee meeting in the county Administration Building in Mount Clemens last month that his office and the communities are working well together. “We’re pretty pleased with all of the communities,” Abro said. “We are on the right track.” The contracts are renewals, albeit at higher costs, of existing deals with eight communities for law enforcement, some of which also include dispatching and one or two resource officers. Two deals with Sterling Heights and Clinton Township are for dispatching, which takes place at the county Communications and Technology Center in Mount Clemens. School-resource deputies are trained by the sheriff’s office for use by the schools. The increased presence of sheriff’s officers in the communities indicates the ongoing growth of the county, particularly in the north end. /*!

Victor Wembanyama went to a park in New York City and played 1-on-1 with fans on Saturday. He even lost a couple of games. Not in basketball, though. Wemby was playing chess. Before the San Antonio Spurs left New York for a flight to Minnesota, Wembanyama put out the call on social media: “Who wants to meet me at the SW corner of Washington Square park to play chess? Im there,” Wembanyama wrote. It was 9:36 a.m. People began showing up almost immediately. RELATED STORY | NCAA head warns of the dark side of college sports gambling Washington Square Park is a known spot for chess in New York — Bobby Fischer among others have famously played there, and it's been a spot used for multiple movie scenes featuring the game. Wembanyama was there for an hour in the rain, from about 10-11 a.m. He played four games, winning two and losing two before departing to catch the Spurs' flight. Wembanyama had been trying to get somewhere to play chess for the bulk of the team's time in New York — the Spurs played the Knicks on Christmas and won at Brooklyn on Friday night. The schedule never aligned, until Saturday morning. And even with bad weather, he bundled up to make it happen. He posed for photos with a couple of dozen people who showed up, braving a morning of cold rain to play chess with one of the NBA's biggest stars. “We need an NBA players only Chess tournament, proceeds go to the charity of choice of the winner,” he wrote on social media after his chess trip was over. RELATED STORY | LeBron and Bronny James make history as NBA's first father-son duo to play together Wembanyama is averaging 25.2 points and 10.1 rebounds this season, his second in the NBA after winning Rookie of the Year last season.Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy asked MicroStrategy Inc MSTR Chairman Michael Saylor in a recent interview to explain Bitcoin BTC/USD to him in a way that he can understand. This was after Portnoy recently said he sold his Bitcoin after the Winklevoss twins confused him back in 2020. What Happened : When it comes to Bitcoin history and education, Saylor is one of the most popular names and one of the largest holders thanks to the balance sheet strategy of MicroStrategy, the software company he co-founded. "I want to know what I got wrong about Bitcoin," Portnoy asked Saylor during a recent interview. Saylor shared several sports metaphors to help explain Bitcoin and its future to Portnoy. "There's some games you can't play, but can watch," Saylor said. Saylor said there are some games you can't play, like if a team you watch in person wins a bunch, the season tickets might get more expensive. Some games you can play, but they might be rigged like casino games being in favor of the house, Saylor added. "Satoshi created a game that is rigged in favor of the individual. Satoshi gave us a game we can all win. Bitcoin is that game," Saylor said of the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin. Saylor said with Bitcoin you could be winning the game over time. He then dropped an analogy of playing alongside two of the greatest NBA players of all time. "Wouldn't it be great if you had a basketball team, you had LeBron James, you had Michael Jordan , you had the digital version of them and they play forever. You can get on the court and play with them." Saylor said that James and Jordan might score 100 points and you might score only two, but you're "getting rich together." "Everyone gets to play. You don't just win the game, you get wealthy while you win the game."

"I've been chasing it ever since. Dave is sad," Portnoy tweeted recently. Asking Saylor the question and listening to the sports analogies could help Portnoy and others understand the game of cryptocurrency. Saylor has a long-standing strategy of continuing to buy Bitcoin no matter the price. On Monday, it was revealed MicroStrategy purchased 21,550 Bitcoin for $2.1 billion in the first week of December. MicroStrategy now owns 423,650 Bitcoin worth an estimated $42 billion. "We have a simple strategy and our strategy is we just acquire Bitcoin, and we hold the Bitcoin," Saylor told Benzinga in a previous interview. Saylor said investors focus on scarce and desirable investments. "And of course we happen to think that Bitcoin is the highest-quality scarce desirable property." Saylor told Benzinga that Bitcoin is the "highest-quality, best asset in the world" at the time. "Everything else in the world is inferior to Bitcoin. So, if you give me $1 million and said what do you want to buy, I don't want to buy a sports tea, I don't want to buy a building, I don't want to buy a company ... all I want to buy is Bitcoin."

With each team coming off a come-from-behind win, West Virginia and North Carolina Central square off Tuesday night in Morgantown, W.Va. West Virginia (6-2) has won two straight games and is in the midst of a 16-day, four-game homestand that kicked off with a 73-60 win over Georgetown in the Big 12-Big East Battle on Friday night. North Carolina Central (4-7) comes off a 78-77 road win over Gardner-Webb on Saturday night. Javon Small led the Mountaineers with a game-high 26 points against Georgetown as they overcame a second-half deficit with a decisive run. "The way we played in the second half (against Georgetown), I'll take that team everywhere," West Virginia coach Darian DeVries said. "You have to be able to do that every single night, every single possession you don't always get to go on a 16-0 run to pull you out of it. That's where we are still growing as a team." Eduardo Andre was questionable for the Georgetown game after he missed the Mountaineers' 83-76 overtime win against Arizona on Nov. 29. But the fifth-year senior center returned with four points, three rebounds and four blocks. "It was good to have him back in the lineup for a reason," DeVries said. "That presence, especially defensively and the ability to block shots, that's a huge deal for us." Against Gardner-Webb, Po'Boigh King led NCCU with 28 points, well above his 17.4 points per game average, as the Eagles rallied from a 17-point second-half deficit to win on a late 3-pointer from Isaac Parson. On offense, the Eagles take care of the ball. They are seventh in the nation in turnover margin at plus-7.5 per game. They seek extra possessions on defense and are second nationally with 18.9 turnovers forced per game "We're good enough, we just need to fine tune some things," NCCU coach LeVelle Moton said. "We've got to cross some T's, dot some I's and close. We can't be a really good basketball team until we get the mindset that when winning time presents itself in the last five minutes, (the other team) has to earn it." --Field Level MediaThe Growing Importance of Agritech Startups India’s agricultural sector is the backbone of its economy, employing nearly half of the workforce and contributing significantly to GDP.

Sabre Corporation Enhances Airline Connectivity with EVA Air’s New Distribution Capability Integration

TikTok star Breckie Hill has squashed rumours linking her to Barry Keoghan , claiming she's "never met" the actor amidst speculation of an affair allegedly leading to his split with pop star Sabrina Carpenter . The 31-year-old social media influencer became the subject of rumours that she was the reason for the couple's breakup but took to TikTok to clear the air, insisting she has only seen the 32-year-old star on TV in 'Saltburn'. In her TikTok video, she explained: "I just recently got out of the hospital. I got into a skiing accident and I broke my spine. "Now that I’m out of the hospital, I just wanted to make this video and address these rumours that have been circulating all throughout the internet. To put it simply for you all, no, I did not get with Barry. I have never encountered this man in my life. The only time I’ve seen him is on my TV from watching Saltburn." Meanwhile, Barry Keoghan chose to shut down his Instagram account amid the chaos, pleading with online trolls to stop tarnishing his hard-earned reputation . After deactivating his account, he expressed his anguish on Twitter : "I can only sit and take so much. My name has been dragged across the internet in ways I usually don't respond to." "I have to respond now because it's getting to a place where there are too many lines being crossed. I deactivated my account because I can no longer let this stuff distract from my family and my work. The messages I have received no person should ever have to read them. Absolute lies, hatred, disgusting commentary about my appearance, character, how I am as a parent and every other inhumane thing you can imagine." "Dragging my character and everything I worked extremely hard for and stand for." Barry, who has been candid about his upbringing in the care system in Ireland, has a two-year-old son, Brando, with his ex-partner Alyson Sandro. He pleaded with social media users to be "respectful", reminding them that his son will read all of this when he's older. He continued: "Talking about how I was a heroine baby and how I grew up and dragging my dear mother into it also. Knocking on my grannies door." Sitting outside my baby boys house intimidating them. Thats crossing a line. Each and every day I work harder to push myself on every level to be the healthiest and strongest person for that boy. "I want to provide opportunities for him to learn, fail and grow. I want him to be able to look up to his daddy, to have full trust in me and know I will have his back no matter what. I need you to remember he has to read ALL of this about his father when he is older. Please be respectful to all. Thank you." Former Disney Channel star Sabrina cast Barry in her music video for 'Please Please Please' earlier this year. She recently finished the North American leg of her 'Short n Sweet' tour and is set to tour Europe in March 2025. Meanwhile, Barry is currently working on a film adaptation of 'Peaky Blinders' for Netflix . Saltburn sensation Barry has been defended by sources close to him, who claim he was "very present" in his relationship while juggling fatherhood and a blossoming romance. His commitment to his two-year-old son Brando, whom he shares with former partner Alyson Sandro, didn't hinder his role as a supportive boyfriend. An insider shared with People: "He was a fantastic boyfriend to her and was very present through all she was going through as her career took off – he worked very hard to be there for her when she needed someone most. They had a great relationship and he really cared deeply about her – which you could see via the comments he would often leave on her Instagram page. He is at his strongest and happiest and is the best version of himself to date. "He has been very resilient and triumphed through a lot to be in this place. He worked hard to get here and remains focused – and though he and Sabrina are on a break – that isn’t setting him back in any way – he has a lot of fortitude." The source also made it clear that infidelity was not the reason behind their split, adding: "He was always very faithful to her from the start, there was no third party involved in their break or at any other point in their relationship. Reports indicating otherwise are entirely fabricated." Follow Mirror Celebs on TikTok , Snapchat , Instagram , Twitter , Facebook , YouTube and Threads .

CHARLESTON SOUTHERN 83, MIAMI (FL) 79The Jacksonville Jaguars entered Week 14 in the driver’s seat for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, but that changed following Sunday’s 10-6 win over the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium in Nashville. Jacksonville improved to 3-10 and slid from No. 1 to No. 5 in the reverse NFL standings after Sunday’s early window. The Jags now have the same record as the Titans, Panthers, Patriots, Jets and Browns in what has become a serious logjam at the bottom of the NFL standings. Only a pair of two-win teams remain atop the reverse NFL standings: the Las Vegas Raiders and New York Giants . Reverse NFL Standings (thru Week 14 early window) — Source: www.tankathon.com/nfl Jacksonville’s remaining schedule is truly a toilet bowl. The Jags get the Jets in Week 15 (home), the Raiders in Week 16 (road) and the Titans again in Week 17 (home). If they lose all three of those games —which is a real possibility with the uninspiring Mac Jones under center — they’ll be right back in the hunt for No. 1 overall. The story of Sunday’s game was Jacksonville’s defense, which allowed no touchdowns and just 272 total yards on the road. The team continues to show fight under embattled head coach Doug Pederson, which is likely why Pederson is getting the chance to keep his dignity and finish out the season on the sideline. Fans tend to latch onto the draft when their team’s season goes into the toilet, but Jaguars fans also know well from experience: Drafting No. 1 overall guarantees absolutely nothing as your team enters a rebuild.
