The Mustangs seek a seven-game win streak in their final nonconference test before welcoming No. 4 Duke to Dallas on Jan. 4. In recent victories over Alabama State, Virginia, LSU, and Boston College, SMU (10-2) averaged 85.3 points per game, allowed just 66.0 ppg, and climbed to No. 30 in the NET rankings. "We're a different team right now than we were earlier in the season," SMU head coach Andy Enfield said at the beginning of December, his words ringing even truer as the season progresses. "They'd never been under pressure together until recently, so they're starting to learn and figure things out." Longwood (11-3) enters its third consecutive road game, having won five of its last six overall. That includes a major 82-67 win at North Carolina Central on Dec. 20. It was only the sixth nonconference home loss for NCC since 2016, and Longwood head coach Griff Aldrich saw it as a result of his team's growing cohesiveness. "We got great contributions from so many players," Aldrich said. "We have been working to play more and more connected, and this team has really taken positive steps this week." The Mustangs' Matt Cross is among the biggest threats to Longwood's defense, which allows just 66.6 points per game. A 6-foot-7 forward, Cross had 36 points over SMU's last two wins, including a 16-point, 16-rebound double-double against LSU. What Cross does with the ball in his hands is impressive -- he is averaging 13.5 ppg in December -- but it is also what he does off the ball that increases his value. "He's extremely tough," Enfield said after Cross' performance against LSU. "His wall up in transition, where (Corey) Chest came down, was going to dunk the ball, and he stood there and took the contact. ...That's a big-time basketball play." Longwood is paced by Michael Christmas, a veteran forward in his fourth year in the program. A hard-nosed wing who can score at all three levels, Christmas is Longwood's only returner who started at least 30 games on last year's NCAA Tournament team. He is averaging a team-high 11.9 points per game. "(He) loves this university, loves this town and community," Aldrich said of Christmas. "He opted to come back here to really invest in the program." --Field Level Media

( MENAFN - Jordan Times) We all know the obvious impacts of violence and the destruction it causes, but what are some of the hidden impacts of war and conflict on people and societies? Last week, I came across two articles that grabbed my attention. The first is titled“If Guns Go Silent, the Sound of the Poor Grows Louder”, written in Arabic by renowned Palestinian-Israeli lawyer and academic Zaki Kamal, with whom I have exchanged articles and engaged in meaningful dialogue. I greatly benefit from his sober and objective analysis of Israeli politics. He typically writes about the impact of Israel's policies on Israel itself, the occupied territories and the nearby Arab countries. In this article, he specifically presents data highlighting how Israel's most recent war efforts have come at the lofty cost of lower growth rates, a weakened economy and bigger budget deficits, all of which have exacerbated the economic woes of the less fortunate segments of Israeli society. Mr Kamal provides clear and direct examples of how these wars have made it significantly more difficult for fragile and lower-income groups in Israel to access healthcare, nutrition and education. These wars have primarily impacted labour-intensive investments, while severing much of the income generated from tourism, which in turn has decimated the livelihoods of many service industry workers. The heavy cost of war always impacts the poor and working class of Israeli society, not just in fiduciary terms, but also in-kind. For instance, the constant stoppage of electricity impacts those without access to alternatives the most. This war campaign has also led to the mass relocation of people living in kibbutzim and subsidised colonial outposts. These massive inconveniences are adding to the daily burdens of people, pushing them to protest in the streets against the increased impoverishment and deprivation. On the other hand, my son Ali, who acts as my research assistant and helps with editorial work, brought to my attention a book called“The Better Angels of Our Nature” by Harvard Professor of evolutionary psychology and cognitive science, and one of the pioneers of psycholinguistics, Dr. Steven Pinker. The book, published in 2011, provides optimistic datasets on the decline of war and violence in the world. Pinker posits that since the turn of the 20th century, the rates of death from war have dropped significantly in comparison to the centuries prior. He makes his argument through seven key points: 1) Long-term historical trends, 2) The civilizing process, 3) The role of democracy, 4) The spread of international laws and institutions, 5) The decline of interstate wars, 6) The changing nature of warfare, and 7) Moral and cultural progress. This brings us to the disparity and distinctions between the two aforementioned authors. On the one hand, Mr Kamal highlights how even with the advent of high-tech advancements and a shared, deeply rooted historical trauma, a society can still inflict unimaginable harm on other peoples and countries, despite possessing, on the other hand, what Pinker refers to as attributes that should make them reject violence. If one were to look at any of the major data references in the world today, they would find that there are between 56 and 100 active conflicts. According to the“Global Peace Index” (GPI), the world is currently at a crossroads. According to their latest report, published out of London in June of this year, there is frightening evidence that violence is expected to grow and reach explosive levels. This conclusion is supported by the following facts: 1) 97 countries“deteriorated in peacefulness” this year, the highest number since 2008. The wars in Gaza and Ukraine are attributed as the main causes of this spike. 2) Ninety Two countries are currently engaged in conflicts outside of their borders. 3) There are 110 million people who are either refugees or internally displaced. So, while from a philosophical and psychological perspective, one can conclude that violence is tampering down, there is ample statistical evidence suggesting that the potential for increased violence is heating up and moving us in the opposite direction. The world population has grown eightfold, from 1 billion to 8 billion, in the last 100 years. If the world was much more violent when there were significantly fewer people, we should be wary of the potential for violence to erupt in a world where the population now exceeds 8 billion. We are now faced with existential threats the likes of which we have never seen before. Dr Zaki Kamal is correct in drawing our attention to the hard realities of the poor, and of poverty-which is growing rapidly-and how they are impacted in times of war. Although Professor Pinker's sociological and historical approach paints a picture of a world headed in the right direction, this is not an adequate remedy to pacify our fears of a highly asymmetrical and volatile world. In fact, the world looks more like that of H.G. Wells'“The Time Machine”.

BEIRUT (AP) — In 2006, after a bruising monthlong war between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant group, the United Nations Security Council unanimously voted for a resolution to end the conflict and pave the way for lasting security along the border. But while relative calm stood for nearly two decades, Resolution 1701’s terms were never fully enforced. Now, figuring out how to finally enforce it is key to a U.S.-brokered deal that brought a ceasefire Wednesday. In late September, after nearly a year of low-level clashes , the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah spiraled into all-out war and an Israeli ground invasion . As Israeli jets pound deep inside Lebanon and Hezbollah fires rockets deeper into northern Israel, U.N. and diplomatic officials again turned to the 2006 resolution in a bid to end the conflict.

(AP Photo/Mohammed Zaatari, File) Share Share Copy Link copied Email Facebook X Reddit LinkedIn Pinterest Flipboard Print Read More Years of deeply divided politics and regionwide geopolitical hostilities have halted substantial progress on its implementation, yet the international community believes Resolution 1701 is still the brightest prospect for long-term stability between Israel and Lebanon. Almost two decades after the last war between Israel and Hezbollah, the United States led shuttle diplomacy efforts between Lebanon and Israel to agree on a ceasefire proposal that renewed commitment to the resolution, this time with an implementation plan to try to reinvigorate the document. What is UNSC Resolution 1701? In 2000, Israel withdrew its forces from most of southern Lebanon along a U.N.-demarcated “Blue Line” that separated the two countries and the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights, which most of the world considers occupied Syrian territory. U.N. peacekeeping forces in Lebanon, known as UNIFIL , increased their presence along the line of withdrawal. Resolution 1701 was supposed to complete Israel’s withdrawal from southern Lebanon and ensure Hezbollah would move north of the Litani River, keeping the area exclusively under the Lebanese military and U.N. peacekeepers. Up to 15,000 U.N. peacekeepers would help to maintain calm, return displaced Lebanese and secure the area alongside the Lebanese military.

(AP Photo/Alvaro Barrientos, File) Share Share Copy Link copied Email Facebook X Reddit LinkedIn Pinterest Flipboard Print Read More The goal was long-term security, with land borders eventually demarcated to resolve territorial disputes. The resolution also reaffirmed previous ones that call for the disarmament of all armed groups in Lebanon — Hezbollah among them. “It was made for a certain situation and context,” Elias Hanna, a retired Lebanese army general, told The Associated Press. “But as time goes on, the essence of the resolution begins to hollow.” Has Resolution 1701 been implemented? For years, Lebanon and Israel blamed each other for countless violations along the tense frontier. Israel said Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force and growing arsenal remained, and accused the group of using a local environmental organization to spy on troops. Lebanon complained about Israeli military jets and naval ships entering Lebanese territory even when there was no active conflict. “You had a role of the UNIFIL that slowly eroded like any other peacekeeping with time that has no clear mandate,” said Joseph Bahout, the director of the Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy at the American University of Beirut. “They don’t have permission to inspect the area without coordinating with the Lebanese army.” FILE - Peacekeepers representing 41 different national contingents that make up the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), prepare to raise flags during a ceremony to mark the 40th anniversary of its peacekeeping presence in southern Lebanon, at the mission headquarters in the coastal town of Naqoura, Lebanon, Monday, March 19, 2018.

(AP Photo/Hassan Ammar, File) Share Share Copy Link copied Email Facebook X Reddit LinkedIn Pinterest Flipboard Print Read More UNIFIL for years has urged Israel to withdraw from some territory north of the frontier, but to no avail. In the ongoing war, the peacekeeping mission has accused Israel, as well as Hezbollah , of obstructing and harming its forces and infrastructure. Hezbollah’s power, meanwhile, has grown, both in its arsenal and as a political influence in the Lebanese state. The Iran-backed group was essential in keeping Syrian President Bashar Assad in power when armed opposition groups tried to topple him, and it supports Iran-backed groups in Iraq and Yemen. It has an estimated 150,000 rockets and missiles, including precision-guided missiles pointed at Israel, and has introduced drones into its arsenal . Hanna says Hezbollah “is something never seen before as a non-state actor” with political and military influence. How do mediators hope to implement 1701 almost two decades later? Israel’s security Cabinet approved the ceasefire agreement late Tuesday, according to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office. The ceasefire began at 4 a.m. local time Wednesday. Efforts led by the U.S. and France for the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah underscored that they still view the resolution as key. For almost a year, Washington has promoted various versions of a deal that would gradually lead to its full implementation. International mediators hope that by boosting financial support for the Lebanese army — which was not a party in the Israel-Hezbollah war — Lebanon can deploy some 6,000 additional troops south of the Litani River to help enforce the resolution. Under the deal, an international monitoring committee headed by the United States would oversee implementation to ensure that Hezbollah and Israel’s withdrawals take place. It is not entirely clear how the committee would work or how potential violations would be reported and dealt with. The circumstances now are far more complicated than in 2006. Some are still skeptical of the resolution’s viability given that the political realities and balance of power both regionally and within Lebanon have dramatically changed since then. “You’re tying 1701 with a hundred things,” Bahout said. “A resolution is the reflection of a balance of power and political context.” In this screen grab image from video provide by the Israeli Government Press Office, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu makes a televised statement Tuesday, Nov. 26, 2024, in Jerusalem, Israel.

Son of state lawmaker gets nod for LaPorte County Council seatPatna, Nov 24 (PTI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi's statement that there was "no place for Wakf law in the Constitution" on Sunday drew sharp criticism from Islamic scholar Maulana Arshad Madani. Addressing a function here organised by the Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, Madani, who is its president, also urged Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his Andhra Pradesh counterpart Chandrababu Naidu to stall the Wakf Bill that the Modi government is likely to bring in the Parliament's upcoming session. Also Read | Winter Session 2024: INDIA Bloc To Hold Parliamentary Floor Leaders Meeting To Decide Strategy on November 25. "I was appalled to learn that Modi ji has expressed the view that Wakf should be done away with since there is no provision in its favour in the Constitution. We did not expect such a frivolous remark from the Prime Minister of India," Madani said, at the conference titled "Save the Constitution and National Solidarity". He claimed that the comment, made by the Prime Minister while addressing BJP workers in New Delhi on Saturday, seems bereft of sense. Also Read | Shiv Sena MLAs Feel Eknath Shinde Should Continue As Maharashtra CM, Says State Minister Deepak Kesarkar. Tomorrow, it may be said that Muslims would not be allowed to offer namaz, go for Haj pilgrimage and give away zakat (alms) since these too find no mention in the Constitution, claimed the head of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, stated to be the largest organisation of Indian Muslims. "The PM should know that Wakf is an integral part of Islam and it finds mention in the Hadith, which are words spoken by our Prophet. As such, it is the duty of Muslims to safeguard Wakf. "The PM should also remember that the country's secular Constitution grants every religious minority the right to practise its faith. And Muslims are claiming that right by opposing the Wakf bill," he said. Madani urged Nitish and Naidu, BJP allies on whom the saffron party depends for surviving in power at the Centre, not to support the Bill stating that doing so "would be tantamount to stabbing Muslims in the back". Madani decried the "politics of hate" allegedly practised by the BJP. "The Assam CM (Himanta Biswa Sarma) spent months in Jharkhand,labelling Muslims as infiltrators. He should remember that most of the Muslims are of Indian origin," he said. Sarma was the BJP's co-in-charge of the assembly elections in adjoining Jharkhand. Referring to the BJP's defeat in Jharkhand, Madani said, "Those who were trying to spread hate have been humiliated. It is God's mercy, no doubt, but we must acknowledge that Hindus too stood up with us in the fight". Indirectly referring to Nitish Kumar, who heads JD(U), Madani remarked: "The ruling dispensation of the state is the crutch on which the Centre stands. The powers that be in the state claim they would not let Muslims suffer. The Wakf issue presents them with an opportunity to walk the talk. If they dither, the community must decide whether or not to trust them any more".
