Telangana CM A Revanth Reddy (File photo) HYDERABAD: Telangana CM A Revanth Reddy on Monday warned that anyone attempting to change the official image of the Telangana Thalli (mother of Telangana) statue and its features or insulting it in speeches and or on social media platforms would face legal action, reports Roushan Ali. He said this after unveiling the new Telangana Thalli statue on the state secretariat premises in the presence of thousands of women members of self-help groups , poets, artists, ministers and elected representatives. Stating that the statue signifies the existence and self-respect of the people of Telangana, chief secretary A Santhi Kumari said the state govt has prohibited any change, modification, destruction, desecration, defiling, vandalising, breaking, demolishing or burning it in public or private and making a mockery or belittling it "will be treated as a crime." Revanth announced that Telangana Thalli Avatarana Utsavam will be officially celebrated every year on Dec 9 in the state. This date coincides with the historic announcement by the Central govt in 2009 that the exercise of forming a separate Telangana state had started. He said that so far there was no official image of Telangana Thalli until he unveiled the one approved by govt. Senior functionaries like Ale Narendra, Vijayashanti, K Chandrasekhar Rao and many others belonging to various political parties created different forms of Telangana Thalli statues during the statehood agitation, he said.

Daily Post Nigeria CBN’s interest rate hike will worsen imbalances in real sectors — CPPE Home News Politics Metro Entertainment Sport Business CBN’s interest rate hike will worsen imbalances in real sectors — CPPE Published on November 26, 2024 By Ogaga Ariemu The Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise, CPPE, said the continued hawkish stance of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, by further tightening the interest rate to 27.75 per cent will worsen imbalances in the country’s real sectors. The director of CPPE, Muda Yusuf, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday. This comes as DAILY POST reports that the CBN Monetary Policy Committee raised interest by 25 basis points to 27.50 per cent. Reacting, CPPE stated that the CBN’s decision to further raise the interest rate is troubling amid the declining growth recorded in the country’s critical sectors of the economy. CPPE noted that Nigeria’s 3.46 per cent growth in domestic product in the third quarter of 2024 showed a clear disconnect between the financial services sector and the real economy. This comes as CPPE said that manufacturing, agriculture, real estate, air transport, and textile sectors need monetary and fiscal support, not interest rate hikes. “It is troubling that despite the declining growth performance of many critical sectors of the economy as evidenced in the third quarter GDP report, the MPC still continued its tightening stance. “The GDP sectoral performance report also revealed a glaring disconnect between the financial services sector and the real economy. “The financial services sector recorded a growth of 32 per cent, while agriculture and manufacturing grew by 1.14 per cent and 0.92 per cent. This hawkish disposition would deepen these distortions. “Meanwhile strategic economic sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing and real estate recorded declines in growth in the third quarter. Air transport and textile remained in recession. These sectors need monetary and fiscal support, not a further tightening of monetary conditions. “In the meantime, we urge the CBN to upscale its support for development finance institutions to make up for the financing challenges created by the sustained tight monetary policy regime,” he stated.

He added: “His dedication and humility served as an inspiration to many, and I remember with great fondness his visit to the United Kingdom in 1977. “My thoughts and prayers are with President Carter’s family and the American people at this time.” Mr Carter, a former peanut farmer, served one term in the White House between 1977 and 1981 and spent his post-presidency years as a global humanitarian, winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. Sir Keir Starmer said Mr Carter had “lived his values in the service of others to the very end” through “decades of selfless public service”. Praising a “lifelong dedication to peace” that saw him win the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, Sir Keir added: “Motivated by his strong faith and values, President Carter redefined the post-presidency with a remarkable commitment to social justice and human rights at home and abroad.” Tributes to Mr Carter followed the announcement of his death by his family on Sunday, more than a year after he decided to enter hospice care. His son, Chip Carter, said: “My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights, and unselfish love.” Very sorry to hear of President Carter’s passing. I pay tribute to his decades of selfless public service. My thoughts are with his family and friends at this time. pic.twitter.com/IaKmZcteb1 — Keir Starmer (@Keir_Starmer) December 29, 2024 US President Joe Biden, one of the first elected politicians to endorse Mr Carter’s bid for the presidency in 1976, said the world had “lost an extraordinary leader, statesman and humanitarian”. He said: “Over six decades, we had the honour of calling Jimmy Carter a dear friend. But, what’s extraordinary about Jimmy Carter, though, is that millions of people throughout America and the world who never met him thought of him as a dear friend as well. “With his compassion and moral clarity, he worked to eradicate disease, forge peace, advance civil rights and human rights, promote free and fair elections, house the homeless, and always advocate for the least among us.” Vice President Kamala Harris said Mr Carter “reminded our nation and the world that there is strength in decency and compassion”. “His life and legacy continue to inspire me — and will inspire generations to come,” she said. “Our world is a better place because of President Carter.” Other UK politicians also paid tribute to Mr Carter. Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey said he was “an inspiration” who “led a truly remarkable life dedicated to public service with a genuine care for people”. Scottish First Minister John Swinney described the former president as “a good, decent, honest man who strove for peace in all that he did”, while Welsh First Minister said he was “a remarkable man” and “a humanitarian and scholar”. Former prime minister Sir Tony Blair said Mr Carter’s “life was a testament to public service”. He added: “I always had the greatest respect for him, his spirit and his dedication. He fundamentally cared and consistently toiled to help those in need.” Gordon Brown, another former prime minister, said it was a “privilege” to have known Mr Carter, who “will be mourned, not just in America, but in every continent where human rights are valued”. Mr Carter is expected to receive a state funeral featuring public observances in Atlanta, Georgia, and Washington DC before being buried in his hometown of Plains, Georgia. A moderate democrat born in Plains in October 1924, Mr Carter’s political career took him from the Georgia state senate to the state governorship and, finally, the White House, where he took office as 39th president in the wake of the Watergate scandal and the Vietnam War. His presidency saw economic disruption amid volatile oil prices, along with social tensions at home and challenges abroad including the Iranian revolution that sparked a 444-day hostage crisis at the US embassy in Tehran. But he also brokered the Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel, which led to a peace treaty between the two countries in 1979. After his defeat in the 1980 presidential election, he worked more than four decades leading The Carter Centre, which he and his late wife Rosalynn co-founded in 1982 to “wage peace, fight disease, and build hope”. Under his leadership, the Carter Center virtually eliminated Guinea Worm disease, which has gone from affecting 3.5 million people in Africa and Asia in 1986 to just 14 in 2023. Mrs Carter, who died last year aged 96, had played a more active role in her husband’s presidency than previous first ladies, with Mr Carter saying she had been “my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished”. Earlier this year, on his 100th birthday, Mr Carter received a private congratulatory message from the King, expressing admiration for his life of public service

Ruhullah joins students protest against reservation Suhail Bhat SRINAGAR, Dec 23: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today assured a delegation of protesting students that the Cabinet Sub-Committee formed to review the reservation policy in Jammu and Kashmir will submit its report within six months. The students are protesting against the reservation policy in Jammu and Kashmir implemented after the abrogation of Article 370. Following the meeting, Omar posted on X: “The beauty of democracy is the right to be heard & dialogue in a spirit of mutual cooperation. I have made certain requests and given assurances to the representatives of the Open Merit Students Association. This channel of communication will remain open without intermediaries.” “We met the Chief Minister and held discussions on the reservation issue for about 30 minutes. The crux of the discussion was that the Chief Minister has asked for six months for the Sub-Committee to complete its work,” one of the student leaders told reporters after meeting the Chief Minister at his residence. National Conference leader and Lok Sabha member from Srinagar Aga Ruhullah Mehdi earlier led a protest outside the residence of Omar to support the demand for “rationalisation” of reservations in Jammu and Kashmir. The protesters, carrying placards with slogans like “Justice for Open Merit” and “Eradicate Draconian Rule 17,” gathered outside the residences of the Chief Minister on Gupkar Road in Srinagar. Leaders from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), including Iltija Mufti and Waheed Parra, as well as Awami Ittehad Party (AIP) legislator Sheikh Khursheed, also participated in the demonstration. During a passionate address to the gathering, Mehdi, who had recently raised the issue in Parliament, called on the Government to either adjust the reservation policy in accordance with the population proportions of reserved categories or implement the Supreme Court’s 50% cap on reservations. “I made a commitment to the students that I would stand with them, and today we are here to demand justice. I am with them and will support them in taking this to its logical conclusion,” he said. He said, adding only be satisfied when the students’ concerns were fully addressed The protests were sparked by dissatisfaction with the reservation policy introduced following the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019. Students claimed that reducing the open merit quota to 40% or less violates Supreme Court directives. “It has led to an unfair distribution of medical seats,” an MBBS student said, adding that this year only 29% of seats were filled by students from the open merit category while the rest were distributed among the reserved categories. A five-member delegation, which was formed during the protest and represented students from Central, South, and North Kashmir, met with the Chief Minister to present their concerns and demands. After the meeting, a student representative briefed the media about the deliberations. “We spoke with him for half an hour, presenting all our queries and citing official data to suggest possible solutions. CM provided actionable points. For instance, he mentioned issues related to the 10% EWS quota and Rule 17, which fall within the Government’s domain and can be addressed immediately. He assured us that these matters would be resolved. He also mentioned that the Sub Committee will address other broader concerns in a time-bound manner, promising a resolution within six months. However, he clarified that six months is the upper limit, and decisions could happen sooner,” he said. The delegation also raised the issue of the 76.5% open category reservation. “He assured us that the Sub Committee would consult all stakeholders and ensure a fair and just solution,” the student representative said. However, the six-month time frame has drawn apprehension as major exams and recruitment cycles are ongoing. “Omar himself mentioned inclusivity but suggested that faster decisions are needed for the process to be meaningful. Regarding recruitment, no specific assurances were given,” the representative added. When asked if he was satisfied with the outcome of the meeting between the students and the Chief Minister, Ruhullah said that his satisfaction was immaterial. “If the students are satisfied, I am satisfied. The good thing is that the process of the Sub Committee has been made time-bound. Earlier, it was open-ended,” Mehdi said. He also clarified that it was wrong to call the event a protest, describing it instead as “an assembly of people to discuss” the reservation policy. PDP leader and MLA Waheed-ur-Rehman Parra called for urgently addressing the reservation policy issue. “We are not here for political mileage. The future of our youth cannot be neglected. With the alarming unemployment rate in Jammu and Kashmir and the absence of a robust private sector, public sector opportunities are crucial for our youth,” he said. PDP leader Iltija Mufti slammed the Government for its inaction. “It has been a month since the Cabinet Sub-Committee was formed, but there has been no progress. Hollow promises won’t suffice; the Government must act decisively,” she said. She urged the administration to demonstrate leadership during this crisis. “This is a test of governance. A fair and time-bound resolution to the reservation policy issue is what we expect,” she said. Mirwaiz Umar Farooq extended his support for the protesters in a post on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “The issue of reservations should be addressed with justice and fairness. The current policy undermines the interests of the general/open merit category. I appeal to the authorities to address their concerns immediately.”NoneRudy Giuliani draws rebuke for a courtroom outburst accusing judge in assets case of being unfair

Health minister Frank Vandenbroucke tells The Associated Press that the inexpensive e-cigarettes have turned into a health threat since they are an easy way for teenagers to be drawn into smoking and get hooked on nicotine.

Snoop Dog donned a headset on Colorado State's sideline, spent some time in the broadcast and even led both marching bands as conductor during their halftime performance.

(AP) — A trailblazing former “Sports Illustrated” model who pushed back against age discrimination has died in a Pennsylvania home from what authorities believe was carbon monoxide poisoning.

A 76-year-old man who was also in the home was hospitalized in critical condition. As a model, Haddon appeared on dozens of magazine coverage in the 1970s and 1980s.

(AP) — Officials say two Oregon men have died in a Washington state forest after they failed to return from a trip to look for Sasquatch. The Skamania County Sheriff’s Office says the 59-year-old and 37-year-old appear to have died from exposure. The sheriff's office says it based that conclusion on the weather and their lack of preparedness. Both men were from Portland. They were found in a heavily wooded area of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest northeast of that city. Family reported them missing after they failed to return from a Christmas Eve outing. Sasquatch is a folkloric beast thought by some to roam the forests, particularly in the Pacific Northwest.City attorney submits resignationChuck Woolery, the affable, smooth-talking game show host of “Wheel of Fortune,” “Love Connection” and “Scrabble” who later became a right-wing podcaster, skewering liberals and accusing the government of lying about COVID-19, has died. He was 83. Mark Young, Woolery's podcast co-host and friend, said in an email early Sunday that Woolery died at his home in Texas with his wife, Kristen, present. “Chuck was a dear friend and brother and a tremendous man of faith, life will not be the same without him,” Young wrote. Woolery, with his matinee idol looks, coiffed hair and ease with witty banter, was inducted into the American TV Game Show Hall of Fame in 2007 and earned a daytime Emmy nomination in 1978. In 1983, Woolery began an 11-year run as host of TV’s “Love Connection,” for which he coined the phrase, “We’ll be back in two minutes and two seconds,” a two-fingered signature dubbed the “2 and 2.” In 1984, he hosted TV’s “Scrabble,” simultaneously hosting two game shows on TV until 1990. “Love Connection,” which aired long before the dawn of dating apps, had a premise that featured either a single man or single woman who would watch audition tapes of three potential mates and then pick one for a date. A couple of weeks after the date, the guest would sit with Woolery in front of a studio audience and tell everybody about the date. The audience would vote on the three contestants, and if the audience agreed with the guest’s choice, “Love Connection” would offer to pay for a second date. Woolery told The Philadelphia Inquirer in 2003 that his favorite set of lovebirds was a man aged 91 and a woman aged 87. "She had so much eye makeup on, she looked like a stolen Corvette. He was so old he said, ‘I remember wagon trains.’ The poor guy. She took him on a balloon ride.” Other career highlights included hosting the shows “Lingo," “Greed” and “The Chuck Woolery Show,” as well as hosting the short-lived syndicated revival of “The Dating Game” from 1998 to 2000 and an ill-fated 1991 talk show. In 1992, he played himself in two episodes of TV’s “Melrose Place.” Woolery became the subject of the Game Show Network’s first attempt at a reality show, “Chuck Woolery: Naturally Stoned,” which premiered in 2003. It shared the title of the pop song in 1968 by Woolery and his rock group, the Avant-Garde. It lasted six episode and was panned by critics. Woolery began his TV career at a show that has become a mainstay. Although most associated with Pat Sajak and Vanna White, “Wheel of Fortune” debuted Jan. 6, 1975, on NBC with Woolery welcoming contestants and the audience. Woolery, then 33, was trying to make it in Nashville as a singer. “Wheel of Fortune” started life as “Shopper’s Bazaar,” incorporating Hangman-style puzzles and a roulette wheel. After Woolery appeared on “The Merv Griffin Show” singing “Delta Dawn,” Merv Griffin asked him to host the new show with Susan Stafford. “I had an interview that stretched to 15, 20 minutes,” Woolery told The New York Times in 2003. “After the show, when Merv asked if I wanted to do a game show, I thought, ‘Great, a guy with a bad jacket and an equally bad mustache who doesn’t care what you have to say — that’s the guy I want to be.’” NBC initially passed, but they retooled it as “Wheel of Fortune” and got the green light. After a few years, Woolery demanded a raise to $500,000 a year, or what host Peter Marshall was making on “Hollywood Squares.” Griffin balked and replaced Woolery with weather reporter Pat Sajak. “Both Chuck and Susie did a fine job, and ‘Wheel’ did well enough on NBC, although it never approached the kind of ratings success that ‘Jeopardy!’ achieved in its heyday,” Griffin said in “Merv: Making the Good Life Last,” an autobiography from the 2000s co-written by David Bender. Woolery earned an Emmy nod as host. Born in Ashland, Kentucky, Woolery served in the U.S. Navy before attending college. He played double bass in a folk trio, then formed the psychedelic rock duo The Avant-Garde in 1967 while working as a truck driver to support himself as a musician. The Avant-Garde, which tourbed in a refitted Cadillac hearse, had the Top 40 hit “Naturally Stoned,” with Woolery singing, “When I put my mind on you alone/I can get a good sensation/Feel like I’m naturally stoned.” After The Avant-Garde broke up, Woolery released his debut solo single “I’ve Been Wrong” in 1969 and several more singles with Columbia before transitioning to country music by the 1970s. He released two solo singles, “Forgive My Heart” and “Love Me, Love Me.” Woolery wrote or co-wrote songs for himself and everyone from Pat Boone to Tammy Wynette. On Wynette’s 1971 album “We Sure Can Love Each Other,” Woolery wrote “The Joys of Being a Woman” with lyrics including “See our baby on the swing/Hear her laugh, hear her scream.” After his TV career ended, Woolery went into podcasting. In an interview with The New York Times, he called himself a gun-rights activist and described himself as a conservative libertarian and constitutionalist. He said he hadn’t revealed his politics in liberal Hollywood for fear of retribution. He teamed up with Mark Young in 2014 for the podcast “Blunt Force Truth” and soon became a full supporter of Donald Trump while arguing minorities don’t need civil rights and causing a firestorm by tweeting an antisemitic comment linking Soviet Communists to Judaism. “President Obama’s popularity is a fantasy only held by him and his dwindling legion of juice-box-drinking, anxiety-dog-hugging, safe-space-hiding snowflakes,” he said. Woolery also was active online, retweeting articles from Conservative Brief, insisting Democrats were trying to install a system of Marxism and spreading headlines such as “Impeach him! Devastating photo of Joe Biden leaks.” During the early stages of the pandemic, Woolery initially accused medical professionals and Democrats of lying about the virus in an effort to hurt the economy and Trump’s chances for reelection to the presidency. “The most outrageous lies are the ones about COVID-19. Everyone is lying. The CDC, media, Democrats, our doctors, not all but most, that we are told to trust. I think it’s all about the election and keeping the economy from coming back, which is about the election. I’m sick of it,” Woolery wrote in July 2020. Trump retweeted that post to his 83 million followers. By the end of the month, nearly 4.5 million Americans had been infected with COVID-19 and more than 150,000 had died. Just days later, Woolery changed his stance, announcing his son had contracted COVID-19. “To further clarify and add perspective, COVID-19 is real and it is here. My son tested positive for the virus, and I feel for of those suffering and especially for those who have lost loved ones,” Woolery posted before his account was deleted. Woolery later explained on his podcast that he never called COVID-19 “a hoax” or said “it’s not real,” just that “we’ve been lied to.” Woolery also said it was “an honor to have your president retweet what your thoughts are and think it’s important enough to do that.” In addition to his wife, Woolery is survived by his sons Michael and Sean and his daughter Melissa, Young said.
