Srinagar, Nov 24: As part of the World Heritage Week celebrations in Kashmir, INTACH’s Kashmir Chapter organised a study tour and heritage walk at Burzhom archaeological site for students from Government School Malbagh and Kashani Memorial Public School. The event aimed to delve into the prehistoric heritage of the region, with a focus on Burzhom, a nationally protected site that holds tentative World Heritage status under UNESCO. The Burzhom site is of immense historical significance, as UNESCO highlights its role in transferring agricultural practices from Central Asia to the Gangetic plains of North India. It also provides a glimpse into the Neolithic period, showcasing the evolution of early human life in Kashmir. This era, dating back to 3000 BCE and extending into a second phase around 1500 BCE, marks the transition of humans in Kashmir to cultivators and domesticators of animals. The site features evidence of early pit dwellings, cultivation, and animal domestication—the first of its kind in Kashmir’s history. During the event, students explored the essential aspects of Neolithic life and its contributions to agriculture, livelihoods, and early technologies. They participated in an engaging lecture-demonstration led by Saleem Beg, convener of INTACH Kashmir Chapter. His insightful interaction made the history of Burzhom accessible and relatable, simplifying complex archaeological and cultural concepts for the young audience. Group discussions led by teachers and INTACH experts further deepened the students’ understanding of the site’s material heritage, including excavated artifacts such as pottery and metal tools. These discussions shed light on the technologies and skills that shaped prehistoric Kashmir. The event’s success was largely attributed to the collaborative efforts of teachers, including Urfana Amin and Sheema, who guided the students throughout the walk. “Their dedication enriched the learning experience and ensured the event was both educational and enjoyable,” the organisers said Altaf Hussain, co-convener of INTACH Kashmir, extended his gratitude to the principals of Government High School Malbagh and Kashani Memorial Public School Burzhom for their support in making the event a success. World Heritage Week at Burzhom proved to be a meaningful exercise, fostering a deeper connection among students to their region’s rich cultural and historical legacy.

After missing out on Juan Soto, the New York Yankees made their first splash of the offseason. The Yankees and left-handed starting pitcher Max Fried have agreed to an eight-year, $218 million contract, several reports said Tuesday. The contract includes the most guaranteed money for a left-handed pitcher in baseball history, ESPN reported. A two-time All-Star, Fried will join right-handed ace Gerrit Cole to form a one-two punch at the front of the Yankees' rotation. Fried, 30, spent his first eight MLB seasons with the Atlanta Braves and went 11-10 with a 3.25 ERA across 29 starts last season. He had 166 strikeouts and a career-high 57 walks over 174 1/3 innings. He also pitched a major league-high two complete games (one shutout). Fried was an All-Star in 2022 and 2024, and he received votes for the National League Cy Young Award in 2020 (placing fifth) and 2022 (second). In 168 career games (151 starts), Fried has gone 73-36 with a 3.07 ERA and 863 strikeouts against 246 walks in 884 1/3 innings. He has tossed six complete games, including four shutouts. --Field Level Media25 EV charging points to come up in cityThe Winnipeg Jets, who have the National Hockey League’s best record, visit the Pittsburgh Pengiuns on Friday night. The game from PPG Paints Arena will start at 7 p.m. ET and you can watch it on the NHL Network or live stream it on ESPN+ , fubo TV (add-on, FREE trial), Sling TV (add-on, discount) or DirecTV Stream (add-on, FREE trial and discount). Winnipeg has 7-2-0 record on the road and lead NHL play with 80 goals, averaging 4.2. The Jets, even with losses in two of their last three games, are 16-3-0. They have woken up alone atop the NHL standings every day for the last four weeks. They will lead the league after 20 games for the first time. A win Friday in Pittsburgh would tie the Jets for the fifth-most points after 20 games in NHL history with 34; only four teams have had more, most recently the 2012-13 Chicago Blackhawks (37). They’re 15-0-0 when allowing three goals or less and score on 35.7% of their power plays, the best in the league so far. They’re winning by 1.79 goals per game, another league-best. They entered Wednesday second in goals per game and fifth in goals-against average. And they have incredible balance — the Jets have 11 players with at least 10 points, the most in the NHL. The rest of the league, on average, has six players with at least 10 points. Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor lead with 24 points each (both top the team with 12 goals apiece) and Nikolaj Ehlers is next with 22. Finally, last year’s Vezina Trophy winner is even better this year. Connor Hellebuyck was the league’s best goalie a year ago after finishing 37-19-4 with a 2.39 GAA and .921 save percentage; this year, he’s 13-2-0 with a 2.20 GAA and .923 save percentage. “You’re pretty amazed, a little bit,” Jets coach Scott Arniel told The Associated Press . “At the same time, these players, they do have to recognize that it’s an amazing feat what they’ve done so far. But we’d like to just keep this going a little bit longer.” As for the Penguins (7-10-4, in the Metropolitan Division), they have lost four out of their last five games, including 3-2 at home on Tuesday night to Tampa Bay. The Penguins, who allowed a two-goal lead to slip away in the third period for the second straight game, have 12 losses in their last 16 overall. Pittsburgh has a 4-4-2 record in home games, and overall a minus-25 scoring differential, with 56 total goals scored and 81 allowed. Sidney Crosby leads in points (20) and is tied with Rickard Rakell in goals (7 apiece). Evgeni Malkin has posted 19 points. Alex Nedeljkovic is the best of the three goaltenders, with a 3.17 goals-against average. His record is 3-3-3. ©2024 Advance Local Media LLC. Visit pennlive.com .

Power couple: green energy, gas giant bet on renewablesThe first indicator was the sudden appearance of a farmers’ market a few years ago. But when Pilates studios and small free libraries started popping up in my suburb of Beaconsfield recently, I knew the gentrification was well under way. You know where you live is upscaling when hipster husbands happily fill crocheted shopping bags with overpriced organic produce while munching on homemade kale cookies. My working-class hamlet’s upward trajectory was assured once designer dogs started to replace the marauding mutts. Fremantle Farmers’ Market, set up at Bruce Lee Reserve in the heart of Beaconsfield, is packed every Sunday. Credit: Fremantle Farmers' Market Beaconsfield is only a short bike ride to the South Fremantle cafe strip, South Beach and the port city, so it was just a matter of time before it shed its blue-collar charm. When we first moved into the 6162 postcode more than 16 years ago, there wasn’t a single McMansion in the street. Now our quaint, ramshackle 1960s cottage has slowly been dwarfed by shiny, two-storey, white boxes. Thankfully several lush gum trees, home to quirky birdlife, have avoided the chop. While some of the new abodes are architecturally uninspiring, the revamp has brought something wonderfully unexpected: a tranquillity and quietness that is oddly comforting. However, lurking just beneath this harmonious narrative of urban life is the dangerous new weapon of surveillance technology. Home owners want their gentrified space kept safe, so every house appears to be fitted with CCTV cameras and “smart” video doorbells. I’m reluctant to stroll to the letterbox in my elephant undies or mix up my recyclables with household waste, fearing some upbeat digital native will expose me on TikTok as a biosphere-destroying boomer. Sometimes when a place goes through a dramatic spruce-up there can be a beige homogeneity. But there are still shops run by several European families that migrated to the area post World War II. The local independent grocer, the Grocer and the Chef, serves up the most scrumptious continental rolls anywhere in WA. Whatever apocalypse befalls humanity, this eatery will be the first place raided. The newly opened Beaconsfield Wine Bar has further elevated the rundown shopping strip. The community was clearly craving a boutique watering hole with a tantalising selection of vino, beer and cocktails, combined with zesty, tapas-sized portions of Parisian-inspired delicacies, because the joint is always packed.

Credit: Brendan Foster It wasn’t that long ago the suburb was dubbed “Beacy Bronx” because of the ongoing antisocial behaviour in one of WA’s last remaining public housing precincts, Davis Park, but there are many places a good deal more terrifying and nasty and anyway, the public housing estate has since been bulldozed to make way for affordable homes and a retail hub. Ironically, Davis Park will form part of the Heart of Beaconsfield masterplan, along with the former South Fremantle TAFE site and Lefroy Road quarry. It will undoubtedly follow the script of urban intensification and send house prices through the roof. Not that the suburb needs a leg up after recently joining the $1 million club.

Credit: Brendan Foster Although given the median house price in Perth is now just a tick under $900,000, according to Domain , Beaconsfield isn’t part of some selective sorority. Sadly, the musicians, artists and colourful characters who gave the area grittiness and style are being displaced because of the skyrocketing prices. I am not advocating some proletarian uprising against the gentrifiers who have no hankering to rip the heart and soul out of the place. I understand the pull of the suburb for young families given the array of parks, schools and shops. Although any Millennials who giddily tell me which Hogwarts house they belong to will get poked in the eye with their Harry Potter wands. Beaconsfield hasn’t totally shaken its shabbiness. You can still hire a truck, get a tattoo, and risk toxic shock syndrome via a two-day-old pie from one of the local delis. Despite the urban renewal, there is a strong egalitarian sensibility about the suburb, which I find appealing. You get the sense people would have your back. A few years ago, the NAB Charitable Giving Index named Beaconsfield WA’s most charitable postcode, even though the weekly wage was seven per cent below the state’s average, and noted the strong community spirit in the area. This is very admirable considering our household members dive under the couch when we hear the rattling of a collection tin. Not everyone benefits from gentrification, but I have no desire to be trapped in a neighbourhood frozen in time, where the only cup of coffee I can get is from the local servo. And the glacial rebirth of Beacy has morphed it into a walkable suburb. Coffee, food and booze are only a stroll away. Surely, that’s the Holy Trinity of a village life.

In his book , NBA legend Scottie Pippen wrote that Michael Jordan — the player he won six rings with on the Chicago Bulls — “ruined basketball.” Pippen also wrote that LeBron James “was the greatest player this game has ever seen.” “I may go as far to say Mike ruined basketball,” Pippen wrote. “In the ’80s, on the playgrounds, you’d have everyone moving the ball around — passing to help the team. That stopped in the ’90s. Kids wanted to be ‘Like Mike.’ Well, Mike didn’t want to pass — didn’t want to rebound, or defend the best player. He wanted everything done for him. That’s why I always believed LeBron James was the greatest player this game has ever seen — he does everything and embodies what the game is truly about.” After “The Last Dance” doc came out in 2020, Pippen began bashing Jordan. Pippen was frustrated with how “The Last Dance” turned out. Jordan had editorial control over the doc. “On and on it went, the spotlight shining on number 23,” Pippen wrote. “Even in the second episode, which focused for a while on my difficult upbringing and unlikely path to the NBA, the narrative returned to MJ and his determination to win. I was nothing more than a prop. His ‘best teammates of all time,’ he called me. He couldn’t have been more condescending if he tried. “On second thought, I could believe my eyes. I spent a lot of time around the man. I knew what made him tick. How naive I was to expect anything else. Each episode was the same: Michael on a pedestal, his teammates secondary, smaller, the message no different from when he referred to us back then as his ‘supporting cast.’ From one season to the next, we received little or no credit whenever we won but the bulk of the criticism when we lost. Michael could shoot 6-for-24 from the field, commit 5 turnovers, and he was still, in the minds of the adoring press and public, the Errorless Jordan.” The GOAT debate between MJ and Bron is among the most discussed topics in basketball discourse. Jordan has career averages of 30.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 2.3 steals and 0.8 blocks with the Bulls and Washington Wizards. He won five MVPs, one Defensive Player of the Year Award, six championships, six Finals MVPs, three steals titles and 10 scoring titles. Meanwhile, LeBron has career averages of 27.1 points, 7.5 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.7 blocks with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers. He’s a four-time MVP, a four-time champion and a four-time Finals MVP. Jordan is first in NBA history in points per game, fourth in steals, fifth in field goals and second in player efficiency rating. He holds the NBA record for most points (63) scored in a postseason game. LeBron, who grew up idolizing Jordan, is first in NBA history in points, fourth in assists, eighth in steals, second in field goals, seventh in 3-point field goals, fifth in triple-doubles, seventh in points per game and third in player efficiency rating. LeBron is the only player in NBA history to rank top five all-time in points and assists, the only player to win three Finals MVPs with three different teams, the only player with 30,000 points, 10,000 rebounds and 10,000 assists and the only player to score 40,000 points. With the Cavaliers and Heat, LeBron never lost to the Bulls in the playoffs. Pippen and Jordan are the best duo in NBA history. However, they are no longer on speaking terms.
