9s app casino real money legit The Gophers football team resembled its fan base in one respect this week. Current players sat down to watch as their predecessors put together highlight after highlight in Minnesota’s 31-26 upset of Penn State in 2019. ADVERTISEMENT The positive plays were plentiful. Tanner Morgan’s three touchdown passes, including a 66-yard catch and run from Rashod Bateman to open the game; Mariano Sori-Marin’s pressure to force a lofted pass on Antoine Winfield’s second interception of the game; Tyler Johnson’s fighting off pass interference to make a one-handed catch on a 38-yard score; Chris Autman-Bell taking a screen pass and making multiple Nittany Lions miss on a 21-yard TD; Esezi Otomewo’s big sack; and Jordan Howden’s game-sealing pick. With fourth-ranked Penn State coming into Huntington Bank Stadium on Saturday, the Gophers will look to pull off another upset. Their use of highlights fulfills one of their mottos: Embracing the past to create our future. Minnesota (6-4, 4-3 Big Ten) will need to collect a similar amount of big plays and turnovers to pull off an upset as an 11-point underdog to the Nittany Lions (9-1, 6-1). “It’s going to take our best players making plays like that,” head coach P.J. Fleck said about the 2019 victory. “Penn State’s going to say the same thing. We’re going to get their best shot. We know that. I don’t expect anything less from a James Franklin team, but we’ve got to coach them up so they get our best shot, too.” ADVERTISEMENT Back in 2019, the Gophers were 8-0 and ranked 13th in the nation. Penn State was also 8-0 and ranked fourth. Minnesota had not beat a ranked team up to that point and doubt remained that Minnesota could play with traditional powerhouses. After the win and fans stormed the field, the Gophers climbed the College Football Playoff rankings the next week. Five years on, it remains of the best wins of Fleck’s tenure since 2017. “That was a great moment spring-boarding us into what we have done consistently,” Fleck told the Pioneer Press. “Then just giving us that ability that we can and that mindset that we can and we will. It’s just a matter of time. A lot of things have to line up for it to happen, but that is what is so fun about it.” For the yesteryear Penn State game, Gophers defensive end Danny Striggow was a visiting recruit from Orono. He and other recruits were told not to storm the field because they were headed into the locker room postgame. ADVERTISEMENT “That was a cool game,” Striggow said. “... I was there as a recruit, so it’s kind of funny to look back on it, just being able to experience that as a fan and as a recruit.” Now Stiggow will play in his 50th game in maroon and gold. “(We can) look back at what they did to win that game, learn from that game and go forward and apply it,” Striggow said. Quarterback Max Brosmer said the 2019 Penn State game was the first one he watched to prepare for this year’s match-up. ADVERTISEMENT “I was wondering how Minnesota beat them in ’19 and what kind of things worked well for them,” Brosmer said. “... How did they execute the small details well to finish and win that game? We took away some good stuff from that game and we will use that to the best of our advantage.” ______________________________________________________ This story was written by one of our partner news agencies.

NoneQatar’s conservative oil price assumption of $60/barrel “underscores the country’s fiscal discipline and sustainable policies”, Oxford Economics said in a report released Thursday. Qatar has announced its 2025 budget, focusing on education, healthcare, and sustainability, with total expenditure set at QR210bn. The municipality and environment sector is allocated QR21.9bn, while the sports sector will receive QR6.6bn. The budget forecasts revenue of QR197bn, resulting in a projected deficit of QR13.2bn, which Oxford Economics noted is due to conservative oil price assumptions. “This supports Qatar’s strong credit rating, but we believe these oil price assumptions are conservative since Qatar has maintained a budget surplus over the past three years. We expect a surplus of around QR25bn for 2024, narrowing to QR12bn in 2025. These projections underscore Qatar’s fiscal discipline and sustainable policies,” Oxford Economics said. In a recent report, Oxford Economics estimated Qatar’s non-energy economy would grow by 2.4% in 2024 (versus its previous projection of 2.5%), up from 1.1% in 2023. Growth in the non-energy sector improved at the end of last year, picking up to 1.7% year-on-year (y-o-y) in Q4, from an average of 0.8% in the preceding three quarters. Performance was mixed across sectors at the end of last year, with positive trends in the wholesale and retail and hospitality-related sectors offset by drags spanning administrative and professional services, finance and insurance, and information and communications technology. Tourism has provided a key support to non-energy activities and will remain a driver of future growth. Data show the number of foreign arrivals neared 3mn in the year to July, on track to meet the researcher’s forecast of 4.5mn overnight visitors this year. The launch of the pan-GCC visa should help extend the positive performance in 2025. Oxford Economics sees Qatar’s energy sector growing just 1% in 2024, amid the weak performance of industry year-to-date, before strengthening to 2% next year. The authorities have doubled down on the North Field gas expansion project, which will have a positive medium-term impact. The target liquefied natural gas (LNG) capacity was raised to 142mn tonnes per year (mtpy) by the end of 2030, up nearly 85% from 77 mtpy currently and 13% on the intermediate target of 126 mtpy by 2027. Last year, Qatar awarded a $10bn contract for the second phase of the project, North Field South, which will include the delivery of two LNG trains. Qatar is also making progress in contracting future gas output. The government has signed long-term supply contracts with India, China, France, Germany, Hungary, Kuwait, and Taiwan and is negotiating a deal with South Africa, Oxford Economics noted.

Letter: Who's going to take your job?The world stands at the dawn of a “third nuclear age” in which Britain is threatened by multiple dilemmas, the head of the armed forces has warned. But alongside his stark warning of the threats facing Britain and its allies, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin said there would be only a “remote chance” Russia would directly attack or invade the UK if the two countries were at war. The Chief of the Defence Staff laid out the landscape of British defence in a wide-ranging speech, after a minister warned the Army would be wiped out in as little as six months if forced to fight a war on the scale of the Ukraine conflict. The admiral cast doubt on the possibility as he gave a speech at the Royal United Services Institute (Rusi) defence think tank in London. He told the audience Britain needed to be “clear-eyed in our assessment” of the threats it faces, adding: “That includes recognising that there is only a remote chance of a significant direct attack or invasion by Russia on the United Kingdom, and that’s the same for the whole of Nato.” Moscow “knows the response will be overwhelming”, he added, but warned the nuclear deterrent needed to be “kept strong and strengthened”. Sir Tony added: “We are at the dawn of a third nuclear age, which is altogether more complex. It is defined by multiple and concurrent dilemmas, proliferating nuclear and disruptive technologies and the almost total absence of the security architectures that went before.” The first nuclear age was the Cold War, while the second was “governed by disarmament efforts and counter proliferation”, the armed forces chief said. He listed the “wild threats of tactical nuclear use” by Russia, China building up its weapon stocks, Iran’s failure to co-operate with a nuclear deal, and North Korea’s “erratic behaviour” among the threats faced by the West. But Sir Tony said the UK’s nuclear arsenal is “the one part of our inventory of which Russia is most aware and has more impact on (President Vladimir) Putin than anything else”. Successive British governments had invested “substantial sums of money” in renewing nuclear submarines and warheads because of this, he added. The admiral described the deployment of thousands of North Korean soldiers on Ukraine’s border alongside Russian forces as the year’s “most extraordinary development”. He also signalled further deployments were possible, speaking of “tens of thousands more to follow as part of a new security pact with Russia”. Defence minister Alistair Carns earlier said a rate of casualties similar to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine would lead to the army being “expended” within six to 12 months. He said it illustrated the need to “generate depth and mass rapidly in the event of a crisis”. In comments reported by Sky News, Mr Carns, a former Royal Marines colonel, said Russia was suffering losses of around 1,500 soldiers killed or injured a day. “In a war of scale – not a limited intervention, but one similar to Ukraine – our Army for example, on the current casualty rates, would be expended – as part of a broader multinational coalition – in six months to a year,” Mr Carns said in a speech at Rusi. He added: “That doesn’t mean we need a bigger Army, but it does mean you need to generate depth and mass rapidly in the event of a crisis.” Official figures show the Army had 109,245 personnel on October 1, including 25,814 volunteer reservists. Mr Carns, the minister for veterans and people, said the UK needed to “catch up with Nato allies” to place greater emphasis on the reserves. The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said Defence Secretary John Healey had previously spoken about “the state of the armed forces that were inherited from the previous government”. The spokesman said: “It’s why the Budget invested billions of pounds into defence, it’s why we’re undertaking a strategic defence review to ensure that we have the capabilities and the investment needed to defend this country.”

Obama Democracy Forum will convene to focus on tools for bipartisan dialogueA key figure in a trucker protest that jammed Canada's capital and sparked a global movement against Covid mandates was found guilty Friday for his role in the blockade. The self-styled "Freedom Convoy" of big rig drivers and protesters rolled into Ottawa in early 2022 from across Canada to express anger at government protocols imposed to contain Covid-19. After three weeks of turmoil, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked rarely used emergency powers to dislodge the protesters. Pat King was among hundreds of people arrested, and the first of the protest leaders to be convicted. Two other organizers, Tamara Lich and Chris Barber faced a separate criminal trial but those verdicts are not expected until 2025. King faces up to 10 years in prison after being convicted on five charges, including mischief, counselling others to commit mischief and disobeying a court order. Acquitted of more serious charges, he smiled at a packed courtroom of supporters as the judge read the verdict. "Mr King was not merely engaging in political speech," Justice Charles Hackland said. "Rather, he was inciting the protesters to continue their ongoing blockade of downtown Ottawa." King led hundreds of big rigs and thousands of protestors to Ottawa, bringing the capital to a standstill for more than three weeks. Residents and business owners complained of incessant honking and harassment. As the demonstrators' demands expanded to a broader anti-establishment agenda, solidarity rallies popped up at Canada-US trade corridors and various places abroad. Most of the evidence at trial consisted of videos King posted on social media in which he urged his nearly 300,000 followers to rail against government overreach. "Hold the line," he said in video posts, appearing also to delight in the gridlock and misery of locals: "Pretty hilarious that people haven't been able to sleep for 10 days." Trudeau faced strong criticisms from civil liberties groups and the opposition Conservatives for invoking the Emergencies Act to dislodge the protestors. But a commission of inquiry ruled it had been "appropriate," calling it "a drastic move, but... not a dictatorial one." amc/bs/bfm

LPGA, USGA to require players to be assigned female at birth or transition before pubertyBhubaneswar: Technology stopped tragedy from unfolding on the tracks. A herd of 28 elephants, including calves, were ambling along the Bandhamunda-Barsuan railway track in Rourkela, frequented by goods trains, when they were spotted by an artificial intelligence (AI)-based thermal camera. As soon as the camera picked up the movement of elephants, it sent inputs with location details and photographs to the control room of both the forest department and the railways. The railways was quick to act, delaying the movement of a goods train by 30 minutes to allow the elephants to cross the track. Forest officials said that at about 7 pm on Saturday, an AI camera detected the herd and took an image. "Within minutes of receiving the image and location, it was decided that the incoming train be delayed by half-an-hour at the nearest railway station at Lathikata. We coordinated with the railway as well to ensure that the elephants could cross the track before the train's arrival," said Jasobant Sethi, divisional forest officer, Rourkela. The elephants usually shuttle between Sana Parbat reserve forest and Tainsar under Panposh range in the Rourkela forest division. Sethi said the 360-degree movement of cameras also helped them detect elephants crossing over to the other side of the railway track safely, following which the train was passed the area. Till Dec last year, 36 elephants had died in train hits in a decade. The advent of technology is bound to help reduce such incidents. Prem Kumar Jha, principal chief conservator of forests (wildlife), said they had installed a 12-ft high tower atop which the high-resolution AI camera has been installed. "The camera has been installed at a strategic location. AI-based thermal cameras were first installed in Similipal Tiger Reserve, and their help led to the arrest of many poachers. We will install such sophisticated cameras at other places as well," said Jha. Stay updated with the latest news on Times of India .

Jaland Lowe flirted with a triple-double as Pitt improved to 6-0 with a 74-63 win over LSU on Friday afternoon at the Greenbrier Tip-Off in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va. Lowe finished with a game-high 22 points to go along with eight rebounds and six assists for the Panthers, who have won their first six games of a season for the first time since the 2018-19 campaign. It would have been the second straight triple-double for Lowe, who had 11 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists against VMI Monday. Ishmael Leggett chipped in 21 points and Cameron Corhen supplied 14, helping Pitt outshoot the Tigers (4-1) 44.4 percent to 37.3 percent overall. Vyctorius Miller and Jalen Reed recorded 14 points apiece for LSU, with Reed also snatching seven boards. Cam Carter contributed 11 points. Pitt took control in the first four-plus minutes of the second half, opening the period on a 13-0 run to build a 40-28 lead. The Tigers were held scoreless following the break until Carter converted a layup with 13:13 to go. It was still a 12-point game after Zack Austin hit a pair of free throws with 12:50 remaining, but LSU then rallied. Corey Chest, Reed and Jordan Sears each had a bucket down low for the Tigers during an 8-1 spurt that made it 43-38. However, Lowe stemmed the tide, answering with back-to-back 3-pointers to put the Panthers up 49-38 with 9:31 left. Miller did everything he could to keep LSU in contention, scoring eight points in a span of 1 minute, 23 seconds, with his four-point play getting the Tigers within 56-52 with 6:03 to play. But Pitt never let LSU get the upper hand, and it led by at least six for the final 5:05 of the contest. The Tigers had a 28-27 edge at intermission after ending the first half on an 8-2 run. LSU overcame a quick start by the Panthers, who raced out to a 12-6 advantage and led by as many as eight in the first 20 minutes of action. --Field Level Media
