lol646 download apk old version EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings waived cornerback Akayleb Evans on Saturday in another setback for their beleaguered 2022 draft class. Evans started 15 games last season, but he had been relegated to a special teams role this year after the Vikings added veteran cornerbacks Stephon Gilmore and Shaquill Griffin. Evans was a fourth-round pick out of Missouri, one of three defensive backs among Minnesota's first five selections in 2022. Lewis Cine (first round) was waived and Andrew Booth (second round) was traded earlier this year. One of their second-round picks, guard Ed Ingram, lost his starting spot last week. Evans was let go to clear a roster spot for tight end Nick Muse, who was activated from injured reserve to play on Sunday at Chicago. The Vikings ruled tight end Josh Oliver out of the game with a sprained ankle. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL

Nets ran out of moments in 118-113 loss to BucksNew Delhi: India’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI) has succeeded in increasing financial inclusion and promoting equitable economic growth and access to formal credit for the first time, by enabling underserved groups, according to a study by top professors. The authors of the study said that the success of UPI can be replicated in other countries as well and India can play a leading role in helping them adopt the fintech system. “Within a short span, UPI led to exponential penetration of digital payments across India and is used at all levels from street vendors to large shopping malls,” said the paper prepared by IIM and ISB professors. Since its launch in 2016, the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) has transformed financial access in India, enabling 300 million individuals and 50 million merchants to perform seamless digital transactions, the study states. By October 2023, 75 per cent of all retail digital payments in India were through UPI. The rapid adoption of UPI was possible due to affordable internet across the country. “The affordability of digital technology played a critical role, enabling widespread UPI adoption in rural and urban areas alike,” according to the study. According to the paper, a 10 per cent increase in UPI transactions led to a 7 per cent rise in credit availability, reflecting how digital financial histories enabled lenders to assess borrowers better. Between 2015 and 2019, fin-tech loans to subprime borrowers grew to match those of banks, with fin-techs thriving in high UPI-usage areas,” according to the study. The authors said that fintech lenders scaled rapidly, increasing their loan volumes 77 times, far outpacing traditional banks in catering to smaller, underserved borrowers. The study also highlights that despite the credit surge, default rates did not rise, showing that UPI-enabled digital transaction data helped lenders expand responsibly.

By GREG BEACHAM PASADENA, Calif. — The Rose Bowl is the next stop on No. 1 Oregon’s national championship quest. And Ohio State or Tennessee will be the Ducks’ opponent in the 111th edition of the Granddaddy of Them All. Oregon (13-0) received the top seed in the first 12-team College Football Playoff on Dec. 8, sending the Ducks to celebrate the new year in Pasadena for the ninth time in school history as they continue to fight for their first national championship. But first, the eighth-seeded Buckeyes (10-2) and the ninth-seeded Volunteers (10-2) will meet in Columbus on Dec. 21, to determine Oregon’s opponent in the Rose Bowl Game, which is also a playoff quarterfinal. The first-round matchup pits a pair of college football powerhouses with little history together. The Volunteers beat the Buckeyes, 20-14, in the Citrus Bowl on Jan. 1, 1996, in the schools’ only previous meeting. Ohio State got home-field advantage despite missing out on a Big Ten title game date with Oregon after a humiliating 13-10 loss at home to Michigan last month. The Buckeyes also lost a 32-31 thriller to the Ducks in Eugene in October, but they might still get that rematch in California. Oregon is clearly the class of this jumbled college football season, finishing as the only undefeated team in the FBS and the No. 1 team in the AP Top 25 after holding off Penn State 45-37 to win its first Big Ten championship. The Ducks’ road to a title looks fairly daunting with two elite opponents vying for their quarterfinal shot, and social media filled up with fans and commentators bemoaning the relative difficulty of Oregon’s path. The rough road doesn’t bother Oregon coach Dan Lanning, however. “What an opportunity, right?” Lanning said on ESPN. “We focus on the things that you can control, and winning a national championship isn’t supposed to be easy. If our path is a little bit tougher, kudos to us if we go through it and take care of business.” For decades, the Rose Bowl cherished its position as a near-annual meeting of teams from the Big Ten and the West Coast conference most recently known as the Pac-12. The breakup of the Pac-12 and the permanent change in the Rose Bowl’s postseason position happened simultaneously over the past year, throwing the bowl’s future into flux. But Oregon’s familiar presence in Pasadena next month will smooth that change significantly — and if the Ducks’ opponent is Ohio State, the traditionalists will still get exactly what they crave out of this game anyway. Oregon and Ohio State met in the Rose Bowl in 1958 and again on Jan. 1, 2010, with Terrelle Pryor leading the Buckeyes to a 26-17 victory. Oregon is 4-4 in its previous trips to the Rose Bowl, and the modern Ducks have spent their holiday in Pasadena four times since 2010. They’ve won in their past three appearances in the Granddaddy, most recently beating Wisconsin 28-27 in Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert’s final game for his hometown school in 2020. Ohio State has made 16 previous appearances in the Rose Bowl, third-most in the game’s history behind USC (34) and Michigan (21). The Buckeyes have won their last four games in Pasadena, most recently beating Washington in 2019 and Utah in 2022. A trip to Pasadena would be a treat for Tennessee’s vast fan base. The Vols made two trips to the Rose Bowl during the 1940s, but they haven’t been back there since 1945. Oregon and Tennessee have faced each other twice, with the Ducks winning both matchups in 2010 and in 2013.

The SEC is a basketball conference now. On Sunday, Missouri (8-1) pulled off a stunning 76-67 win over No. 1 Kansas (7-2) to continue the conference's outstanding start to the 2024-25 season. The Tigers jumped out to a 14-point home lead and held the Jayhawks to 39.7% on their field goal attempts. Missouri had an overwhelming advantage at the free throw line, going 26-of-31 compared to 9-of-11 for Kansas. While SEC commissioner Greg Sankey fumes over his conference receiving three bids in the 12-team College Football Playoff, the conference's basketball domination this season should lower his blood pressure. Missouri's win caps a whirlwind first month of the men's college basketball season for the SEC. The conference has a country-high eight teams ranked in the most recent Associated Press poll. It went 14-2 in a dominant SEC/ACC challenge showing. NCAA.com's Mike Lopresti notes that the SEC was 6-2 in road games in the challenge and won 11 by double digits, including five by at least 20 points. Already this season, No. 2 Auburn (8-1) and No. 10 Alabama (7-2) have wins over No. 17 Houston (5-3) and No. 20 North Carolina (5-4). The Tigers also won 83-81 over No. 6 Iowa State (6-1). No. 4 Kentucky (8-1) beat No. 9 Duke (6-2) in November and No. 7 Gonzaga (7-2) in overtime on Saturday night. Mississippi State (7-1) notched its largest margin of victory against a ranked opponent in program history with a 90-57 romp over No. 18 Pittsburgh. Tennessee, the likely next No. 1 team in the AP rankings, has jumped out to an 8-0 start with an average margin of victory of 26.8 points per game. Per Lopresti's Dec. 5 article, the SEC was 43-15 against power conference opponents (ACC, Big East, Big Ten and Big 12) before this weekend. Per KenPom , Missouri is the third-worst SEC team. During the preseason , SEC media members picked it to finish 13th (out of 16 teams) in the conference. Its win over Kansas is a further sign of the SEC's remarkable 2024-25 depth. The conference is the clear best in college basketball, a fact insider Jon Rothstein noted on Saturday when pointing to the resumes of Oklahoma and Vanderbilt, teams predicted to finish last in the SEC this season. Rothstein wrote that the Sooners "won the Battle 4 Atlantis and [are] undefeated," while the Commodores are "9-1 and 4-0 against power conference teams." Missouri was picked 13th in the SEC and it beat Kansas. Oklahoma was picked 15th in the SEC and won the Battle 4 Atlantis and is undefeated. Vanderbilt was picked 16th in the SEC and is 9-1 and 4-0 against power conference teams. Best league in the country. Not close. https://t.co/kNdAZnbqYw Earlier on Sunday, the SEC took a hit when the CFP selection committee gave the final at-large spot in the 12-team playoff to the ACC's SMU over SEC giant Alabama, leaving the conference with only three representatives (Georgia, Tennessee, Texas). It already appears to have more national title contenders in basketball. Move over, football. The SEC has another sport to run.

The United Nations organisation for women, UN Women, has released a report on the progress made to advancing gender equality and the empowerment for women and girls. The report is to inform this month's Asia-Pacific regional intergovernmental review of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (BPfA). The BPfA was adopted in 1995 at the Fourth World Conference on Women and covered 12 areas of concern, including women and poverty, education and training of women, violence against women, and women in power and decision-making. The report said that in Oceania, excluding Australia and New Zealand, the prevalence of reported physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence - taking place in the past 12 months - was 30 per cent in Melanesia, 22 percent in Micronesia and 19 percent in Polynesia. For lifetime prevalence, available data disaggregated by SDG regional groupings suggest the rate for women aged 15-49 years stands at 27 per cent in Asia and 30 per cent in Oceania. Melanesia recorded the highest prevalence at 51 per cent, followed by Micronesia (41 per cent), Polynesia (39 percent), Southern Asia (35 percent), western Asia (29 percent), and Australia and New Zealand (23 percent). The report also quoted another study on violence against women and girls in Solomon Islands, which showed productivity loss of women in the formal sector, due to intimate partner violence, reached about US$15 million in 2021. "Gender-based violence is rooted in entrenched gender social norms about men's entitlement and privilege over women, unequal gender power relations and socially prescribed gender roles," the report said. "The impacts of violence extend far beyond immediate physical and emotional trauma for victims/survivors that can last throughout their lifetime." The report makes multiple recommendations, including transforming gender social norms. It said the Asia-Pacific region has made noticeable progress towards achieving gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls since the adoption of the BPfA, but critical challenges remain persistent. On Monday, the UN Women campaign '16 days of activism against gender-based violence' began. The UN said every 11 minutes in 2022, partners and family members killed a woman intentionally. Fiji is taking part in the activism, and prime minister Sitiveni Rabuka said gender-based violence affects every community in Fiji. He said it is an issue that demands collective action, "not just during these 16 days, but every day of the year, every year". "We all have a role to play in challenging harmful attitudes that normalise abuse or discrimination," he said. Rabuka said preventing violence in society starts at home. "Preventing violence is not just about policies or programmes; it is about the values we hold in our omes and the lessons we teach our children." Rabuka said every act of kindness, example of respect and moment of empathy within families lays the foundation for a society free from violence. In Aotearoa New Zealand, Le Va's Atu-Mai violence prevention programme is launching new child sexual abuse prevention resources. The resources cover topics such as Pasifika values, talanoa to protect, protecting our Pasifika children, knowing who is in your village, and be courageous and act. Atu-Mai Violence prevention senior manager, Paul Tupou-Vea, said there aren't enough Pacific-specific resources, "so we hope these resources help our communities in a culturally sensitive way". "Sexual violence is an uncomfortable topic, but it has significant, ongoing impacts on our communities."WhatsApp is working on a feature to bring a feature to remind you about the message that you missed to read. Here is how it will work. Ever forgotten to reply on WhatsApp? Let’s be honest — we’ve all been there! You open a WhatsApp message, get distracted, and totally forget to reply. It happens more often than we’d like to admit. But it looks like WhatsApp is working on a fix. According to reports, the instant messaging app is testing a new feature that could remind you about important messages you may have missed. You might already know that WhatsApp reminds you about missed status updates from friends. Now, the app is expanding this idea to messages. As per a report by WabetaInfo, the latest beta version for Android (v2.24.25.29) includes a “message reminder” feature. What’s special about it is that the feature notifies you about messages that you may have forgotten to check or respond to. But don’t worry — it’s not going to buzz you for every unread message. WhatsApp seems to be focusing on messages from people you interact with the most, making sure the reminders are actually useful and not annoying. How Could It Work? Though WhatsApp hasn’t officially explained how this feature works, the report by WabetaInfo suggests that it may rely on an on-device algorithm. In simple terms, the app could track how often you chat with certain people and prioritise reminders from those contacts. This means the reminders would adjust based on your current interactions, making them more personalised over time. When Will You Get It? Before you rush to check your WhatsApp settings, keep in mind that this feature is still in the beta version, which means it is not available to all users. A few of the beta testers seem to have come across it, but it is still not in mass circulation. WhatsApp appears to be trying it out in phases, perhaps to make some adjustments as per the consumers who tested it out. There has been no official announcement on when this feature will be available however it does seem like something a sizable number of the users would want. Just think of the scenario as lots of messages being sent and received on a daily basis and telling people that it is easy to miss some of the messages that have been sent. Perhaps, it would be helpful for bothersome, abusive, or unnecessary conversations to be flagged by the WhatsApp app. Click for more latest Tech news .

He said many ethnic Chinese students had been driven away from the US by discrimination from the government, including accusations of misusing American research funds for China’s benefit. “Chinese scientists have no choice but to leave the US because they work best under a supportive research environment,” he said. “This exodus is unfortunate for the US as it could diminish its research capabilities. For China, the return of these scientists means it is gaining top talent, but it also results in weakened ties with the US and a loss of first-hand knowledge of advanced technologies.”

MULTAN, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 23rd Nov, 2024) Deputy Commissioner (DC) Bukhari stressed the importance of running a comprehensive awareness campaign to highlight the significance of planning in today's digital era. He said a campaign should be launched and intensified with the help of digital to bring about positive social change regarding maternal and child health and unchecked population growth. Chairing a meeting of the District Coordination Committee for the Department, he stated that shifting social attitudes towards planning was essential to achieve population control targets. "Positive social change was key to addressing population-related challenges and taking further measures in this regard was the need of the hour," he remarked. District Officer Chaudhry Mujeeb Rabbani briefed the meeting about the department's performance during the session. APP/qbsPublic Relations (PR) plays a crucial role in the success of public hospitals by helping to establish and maintain a positive relationship between the hospital, patients, staff, and the community. The Ministry of Health (MOH) conducted a workshop on Improving Public Relations in Public Hospitals at the Department of Medical Services, Nay Pyi Taw on 27 and 28 November 2024. The Union minister attended the workshop and addressed the opening speech. In the opening speech, the Union minister mentioned that MOH is providing public healthcare services and as hospitals have become more trusted by the public, the number of patients has increased, making it necessary for staff to foster good relationships with patients and their families. In particular, there is a need to provide training for new doctors and nurses for public relations. Those attending this workshop should share their experiences and exchange ideas upon returning to their respective hospitals. It is important to understand that hospitals are different from other places, as people come when they are unwell, and patients often have expectations and anxieties. Therefore, our staff should engage in respectful communication and professional conduct, ensuring they are trained at all levels of the health service. The Ministry is also fulfilling its responsibility to provide necessary human resources, with plans to recruit approximately 1,800 nurses in December this year, and doctors and other skilled medical staff will continue to be appointed. The deputy minister also provided guidance on the do’s and don’ts regarding warm and welcoming interactions with patients at public hospitals. The Department of Medical Services has conducted the workshop to improve relations with the public, ensuring smooth and effective interactions. The following are several key ways in which public relations are important for public hospitals: â Building Trust and Credibility: Public hospitals often face the challenge of earning and maintaining the trust of the communities they serve. PR helps in communicating the hospital’s values, mission, and commitment to patient care. Regularly sharing success stories, patient testimonials, and healthcare innovations builds credibility and helps improve public perception. â Effective Crisis Management: Hospitals, particularly public ones, can face crises, such as disease outbreaks, medical errors, or facility-related issues. A strong PR strategy ensures that the hospital can effectively manage such situations by providing timely and transparent communication. Clear and empathetic messaging can mitigate negative media coverage and maintain public confidence. â Community Engagement and Education: Public hospitals serve a diverse range of populations, and effective PR can help educate the public about health services, preventive care, and new treatments. Through community outreach, health seminars, social media, and other channels, public relations professionals help hospitals connect with the community, offering valuable health education that promotes overall well-being. â Attracting and Retaining Patients: In the competitive healthcare landscape, even public hospitals need to attract and retain patients. PR can help hospitals communicate the quality of their services, highlight special programs, and promote patient-centric care. A strong public relations campaign can improve patient acquisition by emphasizing the hospital’s expertise, compassionate care, and modern facilities. â Internal Communication and Staff Morale: PR is also vital for internal communication within a hospital. It ensures that hospital staff are informed about important updates, guidelines, and achievements. Additionally, public relations strategies can help boost staff morale by recognizing their hard work and celebrating their contributions to patient care. This can improve employee satisfaction and reduce turnover, which ultimately benefits patients. â Building Relationships with Stakeholders: Good PR fosters collaboration, encourages investment, and ensures that stakeholders are aligned with the hospital’s missions. â Managing Reputation: A public hospital’s reputation can be fragile, and any negative news can have far-reaching consequences. PR professionals work proactively to build a strong reputation through positive media coverage, community involvement, and transparent communication. By managing the hospital’s image, they ensure that it remains a trusted institution in the eyes of the public. â Leveraging Digital Media: In today’s digital age, public hospitals must engage with their audiences online. Public relations efforts that include active social media presence, blogs, email newsletters, and online patient reviews help hospitals reach a wider audience, increase visibility, and facilitate patient engagement. Digital PR is also useful in addressing patient concerns, sharing health tips, and promot Moreover, Public Relations are essential for the ongoing success of public hospitals. By managing communication, building relationships, enhancing trust, and addressing issues proactively, PR professionals ensure that hospitals are well-positioned to serve their communities effectively. In a time of rapid technological change and evolving healthcare needs, the strategic use of PR helps public hospitals maintain their role as trusted healthcare providers.
