Moving on to the defensive line, Di Marco and Miltao demonstrated their defensive prowess with stellar displays for their respective clubs. Di Marco, a key figure for his team's backline, showcased his versatility by excelling in both defensive and offensive duties. His solid defending, timely interceptions, and overlapping runs down the flank made him a constant threat to the opposition. Similarly, Miltao's commanding presence in central defense, precise tackles, and aerial dominance were instrumental in shutting down the opposition's attacks. Together, Di Marco and Miltao formed a formidable defensive duo that played a crucial role in their teams' victories.
The case has reignited the debate over the use of force by law enforcement and military personnel in policing and crowd control situations. Critics argue that the acquittal sends a dangerous message that violence against protesters will go unpunished, further eroding trust between the public and those tasked with maintaining law and order.21 of the funniest memes about Joe Biden pardoning his son Hunter
However, while the prospects for intensified consumer stimulus policies offer hope for boosting market activity, it is essential for policymakers to carefully calibrate these measures to avoid potential pitfalls. Balancing the need for short-term stimulus with long-term sustainability, averting inflationary pressures, and ensuring that the benefits reach those most in need are critical considerations in the design and implementation of consumer stimulus policies.In a world plagued by conflicts and divisions, let this story serve as a reminder of the indomitable spirit of compassion and solidarity that binds us together as a global community. May we draw inspiration from the selfless actions of individuals like the Syrian Chinese businessman and the local militants, and strive to emulate their example of extending a helping hand to those in need, disregarding differences and embracing our shared humanity.

A young K G Subramanyan was sent to Madras Presidency College to study economics, and he was doing well. But Subramanyan was no ordinary student. Coming from a politically charged Mahe in Kerala, where he picked up Marxian and later Gandhian ideals as a teen, nationalism ran in his veins. He organised a picketing at the Madras state secretariat and was sent to jail for six months. IPL 2025 mega auction IPL Auction 2025: Who got whom IPL 2025 Auction: Updated Full Team Squads As was the practice then, he was also debarred from studying in all govt institutions. But the jail stint changed something else in the idealistic youngster; he noticed that not all of his political peers were committed to the cause like him and realised politics was not his cup of tea. His paintings, which he was doing on the side, caught the attention of big names in art such as K C S Panicker, who invited him to study art instead of economics. He didn't join an art college in Madras; his elder brother wrote to Nandalal Bose, Principal of Kala Bhavan, Santiniketan in West Bengal, and got him a spot there, a move that changed the course of his life. "He moved from the political orbit of Gandhi to the cultural one of Tagore ," says Raman Siva Kumar, his student, associate, and colleague. "It inspired him to respond to the social and political environment through his art, unlike many of his contemporaries for whom art was still about Indian mythological figures." When Subramanyan finished his studies, India became independent, and the artist had to rethink his subjects, style, and mediums. Over his 70-year career—one of the longest for an artist—his work evolved from watercolours and pen on paper to terracotta, children's books, and reverse glass paintings. Post-independence, Subramanyan helped set up a project for vocational training for refugees of Partition. "In 1951, he joined MSU Baroda as a teacher. The profession changed his attitude towards art. Its analytical aspects became as important as expression." Sculptor Ratnabali Kant recalls in her biography of late husband Awani Kant, Subramanyan's student, how the artist advised him to carry a camera, sketchbook, and pencil for a week and start painting only once he found a subject that attracted him, for only then would he "start producing endlessly with pleasure." In a video interview with Priyamvada Kant, the couple's daughter, Subramanyan says, "Teaching and producing one's own works offer two kinds of happiness. A persistent teacher will only restrict a student's development. A teacher in fine arts has little to do for the development of the student except clear the air for them and not ‘consciously' teach. I just pretend to teach." Subramanyan belonged to the generation of progressive artists such as M F Hussain, who used modern cubist vocabulary, but his approach was more cautious, says Siva Kumar. While at the Slade School of Art in London (1956), he studied medieval art, which few other Indian modernists did. "By the late 1950s, he left Baroda to focus on craft, working as deputy director of design for the handloom board. Returning in 1961, he painted still life works with sand and pebbles." Subramanyan's aim was to create an artistic language of his own, not just a style, says Siva Kumar. In 1963, for Tagore's birth centenary, the Union govt commissioned a mural for the Tagore theatre in Lucknow. Inspired by the playwright's ‘King of the Dark Chamber', Subramanyan used 13,000 terracotta tiles, where individual units held no meaning but formed a narrative when grouped. "From a distance, you see abstract shapes, but once you get closer, you see the details," says Siva Kumar. In the 1960s, Subramanyan experimented with sand casting and textile murals, but works from this period, including those sold at the 1965 New York Trade Fair, remain undocumented, says Siva Kumar. The 1960s also saw him working on children's books, which were surprisingly monochromatic, and toys. He also tried glass painting in 2005. All through, his works continued to make political statements, reflected in the children's fables as well. "One story describes how the people made by God looked alike until God gave them a wardrobe and they started dressing differently. The clothes stick to their bodies, and they start fighting." He wanted his art practice to be outside the gallery space, says Abeer Gupta, curator of Arthsila in New Delhi. "He would give away his work to people as gifts for weddings or birthdays." Today, his work is priced at `5 lakh and more. Email your feedback with name and address to southpole.toi@timesofindia.com
Braves Advised To Sign $200 Million Infielder As Potential 'Emergency Move'Israel says rabbi who went missing in the UAE was killed. The government arrests 3Johor government will streamline all benefits and incentives provided to small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the state through the Entrepreneurs Data Centre (Padu) system starting next year. State youth, sports, entrepreneur development and cooperatives committee chairman Mohd Hairi Mad Shah said the decision followed investigations by Perbadanan Usahawan Johor Sdn Bhd (PUJB), which revealed instances of some SMEs receiving one-off benefits multiple times. “There have been reports of owners receiving support up to three times from different federal and state government agencies. “The additional aid could have been used to help other SMEs in need. “Although these cases are rare, we need a strict, fair approach to ensure no single SME receives multiple aid from various agencies. “This way, we can assist more small businesses in need,” he told StarMetro. Mohd Hairi added that 63,000 businesses were currently registered under Padu, with 57,000 of them being SMEs. PUJB will collaborate with Johor State Entrepreneur Development Council to better manage and identify the types of aid and businesses to support in the future, he said. Currently, there are 43 state and federal agencies under the entrepreneur development council, aside from private sector participation. In addition to streamlining state aid for SMEs, PUJB through Padu will also organise events and programmes more effectively to avoid overlap, according to Mohd Hairi. “We recently received complaints about six food festivals and events being held simultaneously in various parts of Johor Baru. “This spreads the target market too thin, leaving some businesses unable to make a profit. “With PUJB overseeing future programmes, we aim to ensure better organisation and more strategic scheduling so SMEs can benefit fully,” he said. When asked whether the state planned to capitalise on Malaysia’s role as Asean chair next year, Mohd Hairi confirmed that the entrepreneur development council was exploring opportunities. “This will be an excellent chance for local businesses to gain international exposure.”
One of the key factors contributing to the potential for infighting among anti-government armed groups is the complex and fragmented nature of the opposition forces. These groups often have divergent goals, ideologies, and allegiances, making them prone to internal power struggles and conflicts. In addition, the lack of a unified command structure and clear lines of communication further exacerbates the risk of infighting.

The Assad regime, backed by Iran and Russia, has been a key player in the Syrian conflict that has raged on for over a decade. The regime's survival has been heavily dependent on the support it receives from its allies, particularly Iran, which has provided military, financial, and political backing to Assad's government. However, with the ongoing civil war in Syria showing no signs of abating, there has been growing speculation about the potential collapse of the regime and its implications for the wider region.Israel cracks down on Palestinian citizens who speak out against the war in Gaza UMM AL-FAHM, Israel (AP) — In the year since the war in Gaza broke out, Israel's government has been cracking down on dissent among its Palestinian citizens. Authorities have charged Palestinians with “supporting terrorism” because of posts online or for demonstrating against the war. Activists and rights watchdogs say Palestinians have also lost jobs, been suspended from schools and faced police interrogations. Palestinians make up about 20% of Israel's population. Many feel forced to self-censor out of fear of being jailed and further marginalized in society. Others still find ways to dissent, but carefully. Israel's National Security Ministry counters that, “Freedom of speech is not the freedom to incite.” Israel says rabbi who went missing in the UAE was killed TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israel says the body of an Israeli-Moldovan rabbi who went missing in the United Arab Emirates has been found, citing Emirati authorities. The statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office on Sunday said Zvi Kogan was killed, calling it a “heinous antisemitic terror incident.” It said: “The state of Israel will act with all means to seek justice with the criminals responsible for his death." Kogan went missing on Thursday, and there were suspicions he had been kidnapped. His disappearance comes as Iran has been threatening to retaliate against Israel after the two countries traded fire in October. Israeli strike kills Lebanese soldier and wounds 18 as Hezbollah fires rockets at Israel BEIRUT (AP) — An Israeli strike on a Lebanese army center has killed one soldier and wounded 18 others, the Lebanese military said. The Hezbollah militant group meanwhile fired barrages of rockets into northern and central Israel, wounding at least five people. Israeli strikes have killed over 40 Lebanese troops since the start of the war between Israel and Hezbollah, even as Lebanon's military has largely kept to the sidelines. There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military, which has acknowledged mistakenly hitting Lebanese troops while saying they are not a target of its campaign against the militants. After Trump's Project 2025 denials, he is tapping its authors and influencers for key roles WASHINGTON (AP) — During the campaign, President-elect Donald Trump had hailed what would become Project 2025 as a conservative roadmap for “exactly what our movement will do." Trump pulled an about-face when Project 2025 became a political liability. He denied knowing anything about the “ridiculous and abysmal” plans, even though some were written by his former aides and many allies. Now, after winning the 2024 election, Trump is stocking his second administration with key players in the effort he temporarily shunned. Trump has tapped Russell Vought for an encore as director of the Office of Management and Budget; Tom Homan, his former immigration chief, as “border czar;” and immigration hardliner Stephen Miller as deputy chief of policy. Trump's Republican Party is increasingly winning union voters. It's a shift seen in his labor pick WASHINGTON (AP) — Working-class voters helped Republicans make steady election gains this year and expanded a coalition that increasingly includes rank-and-file union members. It's a political shift spotlighting one of President-elect Donald Trump’s latest Cabinet picks: a GOP congresswoman, who has drawn labor support, to be his labor secretary. Oregon Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer narrowly lost her bid for a second term this month, despite strong backing from union members. They're a key part of the Democratic base but are gravitating in the Trump era toward a Republican Party traditionally allied with business interests. Forecasts warn of possible winter storms across US during Thanksgiving week WINDSOR, Calif. (AP) — Forecasters in the U.S. have warned of another round of winter weather that could complicate travel leading up to Thanksgiving. California is bracing for more snow and rain this weekend while still grappling with some flooding and small landslides from a previous storm. The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for California's Sierra Nevada through Tuesday, with heavy snow expected at high elevations. Thousands remained without power in the Seattle area on Saturday after a “bomb cyclone” storm system hit the West Coast earlier in the week, killing two people. Parts of the Northeast and Appalachia also began the weekend with heavy precipitation. Pakistan partially stops mobile and internet services ahead of pro-Imran Khan protest ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan has suspended mobile and internet services “in areas with security concerns” as supporters of imprisoned former premier Imran Khan gear up for a protest in the capital. The government and Interior Ministry made the announcement on X, which is banned in Pakistan. Sunday's protest is to demand Khan's release. He has been in prison for more than a year but remains popular. His supporters rely heavily on social media and messaging apps to coordinate with each other. Pakistan has already sealed off Islamabad and shut down major roads and highways connecting the city with Khan's power bases. Here's what to know about the new funding deal that countries agreed to at UN climate talks BAKU, Azerbaijan (AP) — In the wee hours Sunday at the United Nations climate talks, countries from around the world reached an agreement on how rich countries can cough up the funds to support poor countries in the face of climate change. But it’s a far-from-perfect arrangement, with many parties still unsatisfied but hopeful that the deal will be a step in the right direction. Japan holds Sado mines memorial despite South Korean boycott amid lingering historical tensions SADO, Japan (AP) — Japan has held a memorial ceremony near the Sado Island Gold Mines despite a last-minute boycott of the event by South Korea that highlighted tensions between the neighbors over the issue of Korean forced laborers at the site before and during World War II. South Korea’s absence at Sunday’s memorial, to which Seoul government officials and Korean victims’ families were invited, is a major setback in the rapidly improving ties between the two countries, which since last year have set aside their historical disputes to prioritize U.S.-led security cooperation. Chuck Woolery, smooth-talking game show host of 'Love Connection' and 'Scrabble,' dies at 83 NEW YORK (AP) — Chuck 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.

In a small, close-knit village nestled in the heart of the countryside, a female master's student was discovered wandering aimlessly by a kind-hearted villager. The villagers were quick to offer her shelter and assistance, but as the days went by, conflicting accounts emerged about the young woman's backstory and the circumstances of how she ended up lost in their village. The truth of the matter remains shrouded in mystery, awaiting resolution.
