Fatemeh Sepehri and Mohammad Hossein Sepehri, a sister and brother who are political prisoners held in Vakilabad Prison in Mashhad, Iran, sent a message to Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, telling him the Islamic Republic itself is "the greatest imbalance and the root of all other imbalances" in Iran. See the full story here .NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans have the slimmest of playoff hopes and must win out to have any chance of keeping them alive. Figuring out who they are would be a first step in the right direction. The Titans (3-9) also must bounce back from last week's ugly loss at Washington that cost this franchise yet another chance to string together consecutive wins for the first time in more than two years. “We know that this is a big opportunity for us to develop as a team and to create and to continue developing our identity,” quarterback Will Levis said. “And so we’re going to make sure that we do our best throughout these next few weeks to do that.” The Jacksonville Jaguars (2-10) lost Trevor Lawrence for the rest of the season after the hit he took from Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair in last week's 23-20 loss to Houston. Their already dim playoff hopes were extinguished Monday night when Denver won. That leaves the Jaguars playing for pride and potentially drafting No. 1 overall for the third time in five years. “It’s all about how you finish,” tight end Evan Engram said. “How we finish probably won’t erase the feeling we have of the season. But as the pride of this franchise, the pride of the team, it’s definitely worth going to finish strong and going to get some wins and fighting for that.” The Titans went into Washington with one of the NFL's stingiest defenses and wound up shredded, giving up a season-worst 267 yards rushing. Defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson said, “We can’t allow what happened last week to happen again.” Wide receiver Calvin Ridley says he's excited to see some old teammates Sunday and downplayed a question about how close Jacksonville's offer to keep him last March might've been when he chose to sign with division rival Tennessee instead. “Doesn't matter right now,” Ridley said. “I'm excited for this week. Jags come in here, play with my boys. I'm excited.” Ridley played one season with Jacksonville after the Jaguars traded for him . He had 76 catches for 1,016 yards and eight TDs last season with the Jaguars. So far this season, Ridley has 43 receptions for 679 yards and three TDs. “I just know I'm going to be ready,” Ridley said. Jacksonville has lost 16 consecutive games when tied or trailing at halftime. It’s a complete flip from the 2022 season, in which the Jaguars rallied to beat Dallas, the Las Vegas Raiders and Tennessee down the stretch to make the playoffs. The 20-16 victory against the Titans in the regular-season finale that year is the last time coach Doug Pederson’s team has come from behind to win after trailing or being tied at the break. Tennessee led 13-7 at the half in that one and was minutes from winning a third straight AFC South title . Jaguars defensive end Josh Hines-Allen needs 4 1/2 sacks to break the franchise record of 55 held by Tony Brackens. Hines-Allen has at least half a sack in four consecutive games against Tennessee, which has given up 43 sacks in 2024. “My family knows about it probably more than me,” Hines-Allen said. “My wife tells me all the time, ‘Hey, get that record. All you just need is four sacks.’ Like, you can just (get) four sacks. “I had a couple games last year where I had three, so I can’t say it’s out of the realm. But I never had four sacks; don’t know what it feels like to do that in one game. But hopefully speak it into existence.” Mac Jones will be starting at quarterback and is 0-2 with the Jaguars this season. He has one more interception (three) than touchdown passes (two) in five appearances. The Titans are looking to see if Levis can keep building on his strong play of the past month and start turning those into wins. Levis is 1-3 since returning from a strained throwing shoulder. He has seven TD passes with two interceptions for a 101.3 passer rating in his past four games. He also is completing 61.7% of his passes for 960 yards. “The cool thing right now for Will is that as we’ve corrected things, he’s corrected them,” Titans coach Brian Callahan said . “And that’s been really fun to watch as he’s made adjustments from game to game, sometimes even from in the game made an adjustment to a coverage or a read, and that part’s been good to see.” AP Pro Football Writer Mark Long in Jacksonville, Florida, contributed to this report.

The Associated Press created this story using technology provided by Data Skrive and data from Sportradar .One dedicated Pokemon archivist has created the ultimate place to browse through the creature-collecting series' Japanese Trading Card Game artwork, with a website they wanted "so badly" that they spent "hundreds of hours learning development" to make it happen themselves. The website is called The Art of Pokemon , and it's been created by Twitter user @pkm_jp. It's clearly been a massive undertaking, but they're obviously very devoted to their passion project, as even though they've already preserved thousands of pieces of artwork, the archivist says their work isn't done yet. "Years ago I wanted a place to scroll through all Japanese Pokemon cards, see a card's artist and learn what other artwork they've made. I wanted it so badly that I've spent hundreds of hours learning development making it happen slowly on weeknights and weekends," the archivist says on Twitter. During this process, they've rebuilt the site "many times over," but now, it houses the artwork for over 23,000 cards, as well as over 2,000 other illustrations (including pieces like promotional art and wallpapers), compiling the work of over 500 artists. You can browse by Pokemon TCG expansions, which are handily organized into various eras so you can flip straight back to Diamond and Pearl, Black and White, or keep up with the more recent Scarlet and Violet releases. Alternatively, you can browse by Pokemon or character if you really want to see all the artwork possible for Slowpoke, for example (and why wouldn't you?), or you can admire the work of specific artists by looking through collections of their pieces. The effort gone into compiling information about the artists might be my favorite thing about the project – where possible, PKMJP has included biographies for the illustrators, as well as links to their social media pages. It's a genuinely really lovely way to show some extra recognition and support for the people behind the art. Even after all that, though, PKMJP says "I still have tons of items to scan, edit, upload, and annotate," and adds: "Lots of improvements to speed things up, lots of artwork still to be added and labeled, more cards to be added, better ways to browse images... Features like custom lists, voting, and a proper blog are all on my wishlist for the future!" It's obvious how much effort has been put into this, and it's an absolute delight to browse through the pages looking for old favorite artworks and discovering new ones. Alongside the recent launch of Pokemon TCG Pocket , it feels like a better time than ever to show some appreciation for the artists behind the long-running trading card game.

In a national address delivered on the night before Ghana’s highly anticipated General Elections, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo urged Ghanaians to exercise their civic responsibility by voting peacefully for their preferred candidate. The president called for a calm and respectful electoral process, emphasizing the importance of peace, tolerance, and mutual respect as citizens go to the polls on December 7. He said, “Let us go and cast our ballots in peace and dignity and in an environment of tolerance and mutual respect... Each one of us should go out and do his or her duty to ensure a peaceful and prosperous Ghana and vote freely for your preferred candidate.” President Akufo-Addo also expressed confidence in the Electoral Commission (EC), commending the institution for its efficiency and transparency in organizing the elections. He remarked, “We have a good reason to be proud of the Electoral Commission... it is a much more efficient and transparent institution, and we are all ready to entrust it with the responsibility of delivering free, fair, and transparent elections that reflect the will of the people.” In his address, the president called on Ghanaians to avoid any form of violence and to cooperate with electoral officials and security personnel to ensure the success of the election process. He urged citizens to work together with the security agencies, particularly the police, who have made the necessary deployments to guarantee the nation’s peace, law, and order before, during, and after the elections. “I urge all of us to cooperate with the electoral officials to do their work and ensure that we can all be proud of having another notch to the list of successful elections we have held,” Akufo-Addo stressed, adding that the elections must take place in an atmosphere free of intimidation and violence. With the stage set for Ghana’s 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections, the president’s message highlighted the significance of maintaining peace, respecting the process, and ensuring the elections reflect the will of the people.
