Title: New Monster Moves in "Black Myth: Wukong" - Meet the Stylish Tiger Vanguard!Jailed former prime minister Imran Khan had agreed to change the protest location from D-chowk to a venue on the outskirts of Islamabad, but his wife Bushra Bibi did not accept the proposal, a minister said on Saturday. Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on November 24 called for a sit-in protest with party workers crossing barricades and making their way to Islamabad where four people died and over 50 were injured in a midnight crackdown. However, PTI claimed “hundreds” were killed in the violent clashes with security personnel. Defence Minister Khawaja Asif in a conversation with the media in Sialkot said the government offered PTI several alternative protest locations and while Khan, 72, agreed to the proposal, Bibi insisted on going to D-Chowk, leading to the chaotic situation. He said that while PTI’s crowd size “was good, just like anyone familiar with politics would muster, Bushra Bibi, unfamiliar with such a massive gathering, reportedly expressed concern, saying, ‘Who will go there now’, and insisted on continuing the march towards D-Chowk”. “What happened later, she fled from the scene, escaping with Gandapur,” the minister claimed. Asif, criticising PTI leadership, said the party leaders fled the scene when confronted with genuine resistance, The Express Tribune reported. He compared their retreat to a lack of resolve and said such behaviour was unprecedented in any war or movement. Asif said that Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur’s vehicle was also hit by bricks as he fled the scene with Bibi. He mentioned the leaders only managed to escape and resurfaced in Mansehra. Addressing the deaths reported during the protests, Asif said that while PTI leaders provided conflicting reports about the number of fatalities, with Sardar Latif Khosa reporting 278 deaths, the actual figure was in single digits. Rangers and police personnel were martyred and hundreds were injured because of the violence incited by Khan’s supporters, the minister claimed. He praised the security forces for successfully preventing what he described as the third attack on the federal government. He said there was a lack of evidence to support claims of mass killings and said no videos of funerals or statements from the families of the deceased emerged, nor had there been any concrete proof of widespread bloodshed. Separately, Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar said an anti-riot force was being raised to combat such situations. The minister regretted the PTI was resorting to a false narrative of dead bodies to cover up the embarrassment of fleeing from the protest site. Criticising the PTI for airing old and AI-generated images on social media, Tarar said it was the violent protesters who used different weapons against the security personnel and inflicted damage on public property. Khan’s party on Wednesday formally suspended for the time being its protest in Islamabad and blamed the midnight crackdown by the authorities. Amid concerns about the whereabouts of Bibi and Gandapur – who were leading the march to Islamabad – the party said they were at Mansehra town, near Abbottabad, of the northwestern province. The midnight crackdown forced Khan’s supporters to evacuate the D-Chowk and its adjacent main business district of the capital ending their protest, which his party described as a “massacre” under the “fascist military regime” even as police sources said about 450 protestors were arrested in the crackdown.
The average Social Security check is about $1,927 per month, but that's not enough for most retirees. It amounts to just over $23,000 per year. That covers a little more than a third of the average senior household's expenses, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Married retirees are lucky enough to benefit from two monthly checks, but most people rarely get more than this. However, in November 2024 only, a lucky few beneficiaries will receive three Social Security checks -- or as many as four for some married couples. But before you celebrate too much, there's an important caveat you need to know. Social Security retirement benefits aren't the only monthly benefit available Social Security retirement benefits , or spousal benefits for those married to qualifying workers, are what most people are referring to when they talk about Social Security checks. But it's only part of the program, which also covers disabled workers and their families, as well as the family members of deceased workers. There's also another program known as Supplemental Security Income (SSI). This is a monthly benefit the government administers to qualifying blind and disabled people, and seniors aged 65 or older with low incomes and limited resources. The benefit amount depends on your state and financial situation. The federal benefit for 2024 is up to $943 for a single adult and $1,413 for a married couple. Some states add to this for their residents. The government pays traditional Social Security benefits on either the second, third, or fourth Wednesday of each month, depending on the day of the month you were born on. Here's what that looks like for November 2024: Born on the 1st to the 10th: Nov. 13, 2024 Born on the 11th to the 20th: Nov. 20, 2024 Born on the 21st to the 31st: Nov. 27, 2024 SSI payments generally go out on the first of every month. But when the first falls on a weekday or a holiday, the government pays the benefit out on the last weekday before the first. That's why workers receiving Social Security and SSI will receive three checks this month. They received their November SSI payment on Nov. 1, and their November Social Security check has already arrived, or will on Nov. 27. The December SSI payment will reach their bank account on Nov. 29 because Dec. 1, 2024 is a Sunday this year. Plan carefully for December Receiving three benefit checks this month is exciting, but it's important to remember that you're not getting extra money. You're simply getting your December SSI payment a little early. You'll need to make that payment last, because you won't receive your next Social Security check until Dec. 11, 2024 at the earliest. And you won't get your January 2025 SSI payment until Dec. 31, 2024 (early again because Jan. 1, 2025 is a holiday). Stretching your benefits can be especially difficult this time of year because the holidays lead to increased spending. Keep careful track of what you're buying, and consider putting off some purchases until the new year if you can afford to do so. Keep in mind that your Social Security and SSI benefits will both go up by 2.5% next year . This will raise the average Social Security benefit to $1,976 per month and the maximum federal SSI payment to $967 per month for individuals and $1,450 per month for couples. It's not much, but it might give you a little more breathing room than you have right now.Authorities Say 15-Year-Old ID'd as Armed Person Killed by Officer After Gunshots Heard Nearby
