Analysis: Win or lose at UNC, Belichick's NFL legacy cementedMaryland sues maker of Gore-Tex over pollution from toxic 'forever chemicals'President Javier Milei of Argentina announced a new formal alliance with Israel on Thursday, calling it “a bilateral alliance for freedom, democracy, and against terrorism and dictatorships.” The announcement came the same day as the International Criminal Court (ICC) approved warrants for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant, over objections from the United States and Argentina as well. Milei, an admirer of Israel and the Jewish faith, slammed his predecessors for their closeness to the Iranian regime, which was responsible for a massive terror attack on the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires in 1994. He pledged to support the fight against terrorism, and to stand up for the values of the West against their enemies. Earlier this year, during a visit to Israel, Milei signed a treaty on social rights with the Israeli government. He also visited Jewish holy sites and the community of Kibbutz Nir Oz, which was decimated by the October 7 terror attack. “We will never forget the inhuman attacks with [which] terrorism punished the Argentine people 30 years ago. And we also do not forget barbarism committed by the terrorist group Hamas on October 7th,” Milei said on Friday. He demanded the unconditional release of 101 remaining hostages held by Hamas, including eight Argentinian citizens. Joel B.

The action aims to empower employees and encourage them to excel further within their roles, while also serving as an additional benefit that can attract top talent from the local market. Introducing the employee stock option plan aligns with stc’s strategic approach to strengthening its workforce and building loyalty amongst its employees. The program will be implemented once approved by the board of directors, followed by obtaining the approval during the company’s annual general meeting. stc indicated in a statement that the board of directors aims to strengthen the relationship between the Company and its employees, inspiring them to continue innovating and progressing within their respective fields.

Aside from its existing employees, the stock option program is set to attract new talents through this additional benefit that will be provided by the Company. The amendment to the Article of Association comes under stc’s ongoing commitment to enhance its human resources policies by adopting global best practices in enhancing workplace environments. stc expects the stock option program to foster a stronger sense of ownership among employees, creating a deeper alignment between their individual goals and the company’s overarching objectives.

In the rural areas of Sri Lanka, many schools face significant challenges that hinder their ability to provide quality education. One such school is Kossalpala Kanishta Vidyalaya, located in Bibila, Madulla, which serves 223 students and 13 dedicated teachers. Catering to grades 1 through 11, the school is situated in a region where access to educational resources, particularly technology, is limited. This lack of access has made it difficult for students to develop essential skills that are crucial for their future opportunities. At Kossalpala Kanishta Vidyalaya, inadequate infrastructure and technology have been a pressing issue. The school previously had no access to computers, leaving students without opportunities to learn practical ICT skills. Although the teachers are passionate and committed, they were often unable to provide the kind of hands-on learning experiences that could prepare students with the skills needed for the future. On a broader level, the school also faces funding challenges. Many of the existing facilities were built through the combined efforts of teachers and parents, who went above and beyond to ensure the students have access to a conducive learning environment. Recognizing these challenges, WIA Systems, through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative, took action to bridge this digital divide. As part of the “For a Better Tomorrow” WIA CSR Initiative”, the company provided laptops to Kossalpala Kanishta Vidyalaya. The technology introduced at the school allows students to engage with new learning tools, and practice computer skills, preparing them for a future where technology is a vital part of every profession. WIA Systems is deeply committed to making a positive impact on communities across Sri Lanka, especially in underdeveloped areas. The company’s CSR efforts extend beyond technology donations. They reflect a long-term commitment to supporting education, enhancing learning environments, and creating opportunities for students to thrive. For example, in addition to supporting Kossalpala Kanishta Vidyalaya, WIA Systems is also planning a new project at Tamil Maha Vidyalayam, where the company will help build a roof for the school’s advanced Level classrooms. This project exemplifies WIA Systems’ broader dedication to improving educational infrastructure and ensuring that all students have access to safe, supportive spaces to learn. WIA Systems is proud to be part of this journey and looks forward to continuing its efforts to make a meaningful difference in the lives of students across Sri Lanka. Thanks to these initiatives, the students at Kossalpala Kanishta Vidyalaya now have the opportunity to embrace the future with confidence, knowing they have the tools and skills to pursue their dreams.Philadelphia star quarterback Jalen Hurts remains in concussion protocol and has been ruled for Sunday's game against the visiting Dallas Cowboys, with the Eagles expected to start Kenny Pickett. Hurts missed practice all week, and head coach Nick Sirianni confirmed before Friday's session that Hurts remains in the concussion protocol, adding, "It's going to be tough for him to make it this week." Hurts and Pickett (ribs) were both injured during last weekend's 36-33 loss to the Washington Commanders, but Pickett was a full participant in Thursday's practice and was limited on Friday. The Eagles also have Tanner McKee as the emergency third quarterback and signed Ian Book to the practice squad this week. Pickett, who grew up as an Eagles fan in Ocean Township, N.J., will have a chance to help Philadelphia (12-3) clinch the NFC East title in his first start for the franchise. "I'm very excited. It's a big opportunity," he told reporters Thursday. "I've been working hard to stay ready and I felt like I was in a good position last game with my preparation and now having a week to practice, I'll feel even better going into the stadium. So, I'm excited. I just want to get the win." Pickett relieved Hurts in the first quarter against Washington and completed 14 of 24 passes for 143 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Prior to that, he had appeared in three games in mop-up duty. "He's done a great job," Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown said on Friday. "He did a great job last week. I know he had a few hiccups, but overall he's doing a great job. It's not his first rodeo. We have a lot of confidence in him, I do, and I'm excited. "(He's) poised, confident. He comes in, he's commanding the huddle and that's what you want to see." Pickett, 26, compiled a 14-10 record as the starter for the Steelers from 2022-23 after being drafted by Pittsburgh in the first round (20th overall) in 2022. After the Steelers acquired Russell Wilson in March, Pickett was traded along with a 2024 fourth-round pick to the Eagles in exchange for a 2024 third-round pick and two 2025 seventh-rounders. Pickett has completed 62.3 percent of his pass attempts for 4,622 yards with 14 touchdowns and 14 interceptions in 29 career games. He has rushed for 303 yards and four scores. Hurts, 26, has completed 68.7 percent of his passes this season for 2,903 yards with 18 TDs and five picks in 15 starts. He has rushed for 630 yards and is tied for the NFL lead with 14 rushing touchdowns. --Field Level MediaSo, King Charles III finally turned up for the Australian leg of his victory lap of the Commonwealth. History editor Dr Glenn Davies declares it's time an Australian head of state was one of us... and also a resident. IT'S BEEN OVER two years since then-Prince Charles stepped into the top job. A royal tour between 18 and 26 October 2024 marked the first time that Australians experienced a royal audience with their king. After over ten years, four governors-general and two monarchs, a sitting Australian Head of State finally appeared Down Under! Our absentee King’s 17,000-kilometre journey from the other side of the world saw Charles and his wife, Queen Camilla , grace us with the presence of a British Monarch on Australian soil for the first time as our Head of State (although the grace was presented only in Sydney and Canberra). King Charles III was greeted in Canberra by the Prime Minister, but not a single state leader — all declined their invitations , citing “other commitments” ranging from election campaigns to cabinet meetings. Paying a King's ransom King Charles-the-whatever is coming to Australia on 18 October until some other date you can no doubt find in your calendar, if you could be bothered. Queensland experienced its second King’s Birthday Public Holiday — even though KCIII’s actual birthday is 19 November. Queenslanders took the day off work; not in recognition of their hard work, but to recognise the British Monarch who will most likely be sleeping through our public holiday. The King’s Birthday Public Holiday doesn’t remind us of anything good about our country. At worst, it tells us Australia’s head of state gets the job by inheritance. Perhaps it would have been better if the British Monarch had turned up for "his" birthday weekend? I suppose, though, that would have been awkward: a public holiday in Queensland, only at this time of year (with WA a week before) and Queensland not even on the visiting schedule. Oops. The lack of actual public activity around King’s Birthday Public Holiday shows just how much the concept of monarchy is out-of-step with contemporary Australia. Since his birth as Prince Charles, KCIII has known he would one day take over the top job. One morning in 2022, Australians simply woke up to hear news from Britain that could affect our country for decades to come. Australians did not choose King Charles III as our Head of State. It is a disgraceful fact that without Constitutional change, the citizens of Australia will never be consulted on our head of state. Etiquette tips for awed commoners when meeting King Chukka Here are some vital deportment behavioural protocols in the face of British flapdoodle. It’s time for an Australian to be our head of state and do the job full-time rather than someone working from home at Windsor Castle — who can’t be bothered Zooming into an Australian office once a week. We are a unique multicultural country and we need someone who understands how to embody us, to be the guardian of our Constitution — to be a unifying symbol at home and someone we are proud to see representing us abroad. Our head of state should be elected on merit, not gifted this position by birthright. They should have the skills and work experience to do the job. It should be one of us. A person responsible and accountable to us and unwaveringly loyal to us — and only us. We have our own identity as Australians. The Royals represent Britain and cannot represent us or really unite us as Australians. So many Australians believe in freedom and equal opportunity — not that some are born to rule over others. We come from all walks of life, from all corners of the globe and this ancient land. Our shared commitment to our common future is what binds us together. Standing against this is the elevation of Charles III. I’ve argued previously here that there is no place for princes and kings in modern Australia. The public repudiation of former PM Tony Abbott’s knights and dames decision showed that Australia has moved on from the old colonial way of thinking. We can have respect and affection for Britain and its celebrity royals but still, question why we do not have our own head of state. The British Royal Family: A cult of obsession Support for an Australian Republic referendum is persistently stifled by the mainstream media's obsession with treating the Royal family as celebrities. The royals are welcome to visit as representatives of Britain, but I look forward to when the British people and their royal family will welcome a visit by the first Australian head of state. In the words of Australian comedian and radio presenter Sammy J : "So to our King, we say g’day and we praise his DNA, his ever-loyal subjects across the sea. We might have golden soil and a bit of wealth for toil, but us Aussies are still girt by monarchy." For us in Australia, royalty only ever visits us from somewhere else, from across the seas. It’s not something that lives with us. Royalty comes and royalty goes, but it is never a true part of us. Thanks Charles, but we’ve got it from here. Toodle pip.
