FDA Grants IDE Approval for the Pivotal Trial of the JuxtaFlow® Renal Assist Device (RAD)Unidentified drones were spotted flying over three United States Air Force (USAF) bases in Britain. The occurrences happened from November 20 to November 22. The impacted aviation sites were RAF Feltwell in Norfolk and RAF Lakenheath and Mildenhall in Suffolk. The drones, which are referred to as "small unmanned aerial systems" (UASs), were seen over the sites as well as close to them. Although the sightings were confirmed by the USAF, it has not yet concluded if the drones were a hostile danger. Details of the Drone Incursions Drone kinds and numbers fluctuated during the occurrences. A US Air Forces official in Europe said the drones varied in size and configuration. “The UASs were actively monitored,” the spokesperson said, “and installation leaders determined that none of the incursions impacted base residents or critical infrastructure.” According to the Daily Mail, the sightings had no effect on the bases' regular activities. Authorities haven't revealed the drones' potential origins or how long they were in the region, though. Defensive Measures Remain Classified Whether defensive measures were used has not been addressed by the USAF. Officials stressed that they had the right to defend the bases, nevertheless. “To protect operational security, we do not discuss specific force protection measures,” the spokesperson added. “We continue to monitor our airspace and work with host-nation authorities and mission partners.” The Daily Mail brought attention to persistent worries over the possible susceptibility of vital military facilities. The inexplicable intrusions have sparked concerns about aviation security despite the guarantees. Collaboration With British Authorities Coordinating with local British officials was verified by the USAF. The goal of the study is to identify the operators and the purpose of the drones. Because they house troops and cutting-edge technology, RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall are essential to USAF operations. Whether the drones constituted a surveillance danger or any other type of operation has not been officially determined. Drone invasions at military installations are uncommon but are being closely examined because of security concerns, experts told The Guardian. Ongoing Monitoring and Safety Assurances The USAF promised that the bases were safe in spite of the events. The official statement said there was no impact on base assets or people. The invasions are being taken seriously by the authorities. As the investigations continue, further updates are anticipated.

ATLANTA — Jimmy Carter, the peanut farmer who tried to restore virtue to the White House after the Watergate scandal and Vietnam War, then rebounded from a landslide defeat to become a global advocate of human rights and democracy, has died. He was 100 years old . The Carter Center said the 39th president died Sunday afternoon, more than a year after entering hospice care , at his home in Plains, Georgia, where he and his wife, Rosalynn, who died in November 2023, lived most of their lives. The center said he died peacefully, surrounded by his family. As reaction poured in from around the world, President Joe Biden mourned Carter’s death, saying the world lost an “extraordinary leader, statesman and humanitarian” and he lost a dear friend. Biden cited Carter’s compassion and moral clarity, his work to eradicate disease, forge peace, advance civil and human rights, promote free and fair elections, house the homeless and advocacy for the disadvantaged as an example for others. “To all of the young people in this nation and for anyone in search of what it means to live a life of purpose and meaning – the good life – study Jimmy Carter, a man of principle, faith, and humility,” Biden said in a statement. “He showed that we are a great nation because we are a good people – decent and honorable, courageous and compassionate, humble and strong.” Biden said he is ordering a state funeral for Carter in Washington. A moderate Democrat, Carter ran for president in 1976 as a little-known Georgia governor with a broad grin, effusive Baptist faith and technocratic plans for efficient government. His promise to never deceive the American people resonated after Richard Nixon’s disgrace and U.S. defeat in southeast Asia. “If I ever lie to you, if I ever make a misleading statement, don’t vote for me. I would not deserve to be your president,” Carter said. Carter’s victory over Republican Gerald Ford, whose fortunes fell after pardoning Nixon, came amid Cold War pressures, turbulent oil markets and social upheaval over race, women’s rights and America’s role in the world. His achievements included brokering Mideast peace by keeping Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin at Camp David for 13 days in 1978. But his coalition splintered under double-digit inflation and the 444-day hostage crisis in Iran. His negotiations ultimately brought all the hostages home alive, but in a final insult, Iran didn’t release them until the inauguration of Ronald Reagan, who had trounced him in the 1980 election. Humbled and back home in Georgia, Carter said his faith demanded that he keep doing whatever he could, for as long as he could, to try to make a difference. He and Rosalynn co-founded The Carter Center in 1982 and spent the next 40 years traveling the world as peacemakers, human rights advocates and champions of democracy and public health. Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, Carter helped ease nuclear tensions in North and South Korea, avert a U.S. invasion of Haiti and negotiate cease-fires in Bosnia and Sudan. By 2022, the center had monitored at least 113 elections around the world. Carter was determined to eradicate guinea worm infections as one of many health initiatives. Swinging hammers into their 90s, the Carters built homes with Habitat for Humanity. The common observation that he was better as an ex-president rankled Carter. His allies were pleased that he lived long enough to see biographers and historians revisit his presidency and declare it more impactful than many understood at the time. Propelled in 1976 by voters in Iowa and then across the South, Carter ran a no-frills campaign. Americans were captivated by the earnest engineer, and while an election-year Playboy interview drew snickers when he said he “had looked on many women with lust. I’ve committed adultery in my heart many times,” voters tired of political cynicism found it endearing. The first family set an informal tone in the White House, carrying their own luggage, trying to silence the Marine Band’s traditional “Hail to the Chief" and enrolling daughter, Amy, in public schools. Carter was lampooned for wearing a cardigan and urging Americans to turn down their thermostats. But Carter set the stage for an economic revival and sharply reduced America's dependence on foreign oil by deregulating the energy industry along with airlines, trains and trucking. He established the departments of Energy and Education, appointed record numbers of women and nonwhites to federal posts, preserved millions of acres of Alaskan wilderness and pardoned most Vietnam draft evaders. Emphasizing human rights , he ended most support for military dictators and took on bribery by multinational corporations by signing the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. He persuaded the Senate to ratify the Panama Canal treaties and normalized relations with China, an outgrowth of Nixon’s outreach to Beijing. But crippling turns in foreign affairs took their toll. When OPEC hiked crude prices, making drivers line up for gasoline as inflation spiked to 11%, Carter tried to encourage Americans to overcome “a crisis of confidence.” Many voters lost confidence in Carter instead after the infamous address that media dubbed his “malaise" speech, even though he never used that word. After Carter reluctantly agreed to admit the exiled Shah of Iran to the U.S. for medical treatment, the American Embassy in Tehran was overrun in 1979. Negotiations to quickly free the hostages broke down, and then eight Americans died when a top-secret military rescue attempt failed. Carter also had to reverse course on the SALT II nuclear arms treaty after the Soviets invaded Afghanistan in 1979. Though historians would later credit Carter's diplomatic efforts for hastening the end of the Cold war, Republicans labeled his soft power weak. Reagan’s “make America great again” appeals resonated, and he beat Carter in all but six states. Born Oct. 1, 1924, James Earl Carter Jr. married fellow Plains native Rosalynn Smith in 1946, the year he graduated from the Naval Academy. He brought his young family back to Plains after his father died, abandoning his Navy career, and they soon turned their ambitions to politics . Carter reached the state Senate in 1962. After rural white and Black voters elected him governor in 1970, he drew national attention by declaring that “the time for racial discrimination is over.” Carter published more than 30 books and remained influential as his center turned its democracy advocacy onto U.S. politics, monitoring an audit of Georgia’s 2020 presidential election results. After a 2015 cancer diagnosis, Carter said he felt “perfectly at ease with whatever comes.”

M yles Lewis-Skelly is the latest academy graduate to make the leap to Arsenal’s first team. An intelligent full back who reads the game with a maturity that belies his age, he impressed again against Ipswich Town on Friday night. His progress may have looked smooth, but the 18-year-old’s mother, Marcia Lewis, who previously led a technology training department at an investment bank, is intent on helping other parents to navigate the “minefield” that is raising a young footballer. No1Fan.club is a noble cause, pooling information and resources for families about everything from the logistics of life in the academy — the process of getting trials, scholarship contracts and balancing football with education — to the intimidating world of interacting with agents, sports lawyers and sponsors.

The King seemed amused as he laughed at British comedian Matt Forde's impression of President-elect Donald Trump on the stage of the Royal Variety Performance. Charles attended the show at the Royal Albert Hall in London for the first time as patron of the Royal Variety charity, following in the footsteps of his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II. In a statement from Buckingham Palace, he said: "The charity's crucial work in assisting those who have fallen ill, had an accident or hit hard times is as essential now as it ever has been." "I would like to thank all of those who have worked so hard to stage this year's production and wish everyone a very enjoyable evening." The performance saw political comic Forde reference the unfounded claims Mr Trump repeated during his presidential debate against Democrat candidate Kamala Harris earlier this year, that illegal immigrants from Haiti were eating locals' pets in the small Ohio city of Springfield. Forde exclaimed in the president-elect's voice: "They're eating the cats, they're eating the dogs!" He then turned to address Charles from the stage, saying in Mr Trump's voice: "Your Majesty King Charles , you're named after a spaniel be very careful, they'll eat you alive." The King was seen laughing in response to the joke from the royal box. Charles appeared at the event without the Queen, who insisted the "show must go on" after pulling out of attending the performance on Friday evening as doctors advised that she should prioritise rest. A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said: "Following a recent chest infection, the Queen continues to experience some lingering post-viral symptoms, as a result of which doctors have advised that, after a busy week of engagements, Her Majesty should prioritise sufficient rest." "With great regret, she has therefore withdrawn from attendance at tonight's Royal Variety Performance. His Majesty will attend as planned." A royal source said the Queen was "naturally disappointed to miss the evening's entertainments and sends her sincere apologies to all those involved, but is a great believer that 'the show must go on'". "She hopes to be back to full strength and regular public duties very soon," the source added. The Royal Variety Performance will air on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player in December. Money raised from the show will go to help people from the world of entertainment in need of care and assistance, with the Royal Variety Charity launching an initiative to help those with mental health issues this year.

In a bold move to transform Argentina into a global energy powerhouse, . The plan outlines the construction of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), compact nuclear units designed to provide power to commercial sectors and other large-scale operations. " ," Milei declared confidently, emphasizing the country's abundant natural resources, skilled workforce, and Patagonia's cold climate, which he described as ideal for housing energy-intensive technologies like AI. "Nuclear energy is the only source that is sufficiently efficient, abundant and rapidly scalable to cope with the development of our civilization," he added. , with IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi joining Milei and his key advisor, Demian Reidel, during the plan's official launch. , reports. The reactor is expected to help meet rising energy demands and alleviate power shortages throughout Argentina. Reidel emphasized the significant contribution of Argentine nuclear engineers to the initiative. "We will do so with 100% Argentine technology, developed by our nuclear engineers, who are recognized among the best in the world," he stated, according to . He added that the plan "will give us energy sovereignty, will allow us to export this technology to the world," and assured that "blackouts will be just a bad memory," according to . The government envisions positioning Argentina as a global leader in the peaceful use of atomic energy, while also advancing its aspirations to become an international hub for AI innovation. Currently, Argentina operates three nuclear power facilities—Atucha I, Atucha II, and Embalse—which together supply around 9% of the nation's electricity consumption, according to government data from July 2023. The announcement comes as Argentina has officially emerged from a severe recession, a milestone that marks a major success for Milei and his bold economic reforms.

The now-repealed "Tax for an Inclusive and Solidary Argentina," or "PAIS" for short, was a temporary surcharge introduced by former socialist President Alberto Fernández. He enacted it in December 2019 during the early days of his administration. “I have more good news, and that is that the lowering of taxes will continue, as is our irrevocable commitment, to return the surplus in the form of relief to the taxpayer, because less taxes is more competitiveness,” the president in a statement announcing the move. By Zerohedge.comIN late September and early October, many middle-class communities across the country were giddily discussing one thing that was not about the usual suspects: politics, sports, entertainment or the launch of a new technology product. It was rather about a bond offering from a property developer on a hotel-building spree overseas that carried an unprecedented 8-percent return a year. A recently retired overseas Filipino worker (OFW) couple — he, in the Middle East; she, in the Czech Republic — kept gushing about the 8-percent yearly return from the bond offeror as we were swapping boars (their Anglo-Nubian for my Boer) at their farm-cum-retirement place on Oct. 1.

The team hosted Rhode Island FC at Weidner Field in front of a sold-out crowd and a national broadcast on CBS after a season of milestones. After winning the Western Conference Final at home for the first time in team history, the team had an opportunity that fans have only dreamed about for the past 10 seasons. The excitement that built up over the last week hit its peak Saturday morning as downtown Colorado Springs saw a sea of cyan and black hit the streets. Fans were lining up outside Weidner Field as early as 7:45 a.m. to celebrate and anticipate the 10 a.m. game kickoff, with the tailgate lot across the street beginning to fill up even earlier. Tim Owen, a board member for the Trailheads, the official supporters group for the Switchbacks, compared Saturday's game to the Colorado Springs equivalent of a Super Bowl. "I woke up happy, and getting up earlier on a weekend was totally worth it," Owen, who got up at 4:45 a.m. for the game, said. "It is definitely a different feel, it's like the Super Bowl of the USL here in the Springs." The Trailheads organized the tailgating lot, which was filled with excited fans decked out in face paint, glitter and even some hair dye. Brian Mcgary, who has been growing out his beard since the first game of the season, decided to dye it blue for Saturday's special game. "People make comments on it all the time, it makes people smile," Mcgary said with a laugh. "We make as much noise as possible inside, and it's a great release of the frustrations of a week to be able to just get out there, scream, and not have anybody looking at you like you're weird." Tailgaters were excited ahead of Saturday’s Switchbacks game! A major event for the team as they compete in the finals for the first time in their 10 seasons! @csgazette pic.twitter.com/LHzlCLeeIG It was a brisk morning ahead of the 10 a.m. start time for the soccer game, and merchandise tables surrounding Weidner Field were selling exclusion 10th season scarfs and shirts. According to the communications director Ashley Purslow, after winning the Western Conference Final, merch for the team was selling out quickly all week. Inside, it was a sold-out game, with standing room only tickets available in the days before the game. Purslow said the 8,000 tickets sold for the game originally sold out within 48 hours. An additional few hundred tickets were released just before Saturday, allowing even more of the community the chance to cheer on their home team. One long-time fan, Kristen Clingerman, got a little emotional when talking about the journey from the very first game the team ever played to Saturday's championship opportunity. "This is what we've been working for forever," Clingerman said. "Last game, I was just crying. We've been through thick and thin and this is so surreal." At nearly every Switchbacks game, one fan in particular stands out with his bright red hair and extravagant face paint both in tailgate lots and inside the stadium. Ben Currie, a member of the Kilted Hooligans, credits the team for many of the friends he has made over the years. "Every meaningful relationship I've built since I've moved out here comes from the stadium one way or the other," Currie said. "(The team) having massive success like this, when I'm kind of making some strides in my own life, it's a very cathartic feeling." Another fan in attendance also had a special story that started with him and his dad buying season tickets for the very first season of the Switchbacks. Jason Smith, who caught many other fans' attention with his costume for the game, cried all the way home after the team won the Western Conference Final. The team has a special place in his heart for helping him open up socially. Jason Smith, a longtime fan of the Switchbacks, drew lots of attention from other fans with his outfit for Saturday’s game! Had to snag a photo! @csgazette pic.twitter.com/8LxLWDBa3i "Everyone was so welcoming at the start, and we build and build over the years," Smith said. "It is just a family, we watch out for each other." In the last hour leading up to kick-off, excitement only continued to grow as DJs blasted music through the streets while a large group of supporters marched into Weidner Field. Supporters of the Switchbacks march into Weidner Field! @csgazette pic.twitter.com/I11P6JVnny At halftime, the Switchbacks were in the lead 2-0, holding complete control of the match in stoppage time. From outside the stadium, the cheers from fans echoed down the street as fireworks were shot off throughout the game. By the end of the game, the Switchbacks reached even more milestones by securing the cup and making Colorado Springs history. This season was previously tied with the 2022 season for the most home wins with 10 victories. That number officially jumped to 11 on Saturday afternoon. Energy from the fans was even higher following the conclusion of the match with the stadium erupting into cheers as the clock ran down. The ending score was 3-0. Even more fireworks launched into the sky with a cyan powder dusting the field. "The energy was palpable; I could feel it as soon as I walked in there," said Peter Burlingane, season ticket holder. "It's been amazing to watch this team. They started (shaky), and they went nine straight games unbeaten, and then they brought us to the championship and they brought home a cup."
