Additionally, Arsenal also missed out on securing a seasoned defender who could bring experience, leadership, and solidity to their backline. Recognizing the need for defensive reinforcements, Arteta had targeted a proven center-back with a strong track record in top-level competitions. Talks were progressing positively, and it seemed like a deal was within reach. However, delays in contract discussions and last-minute rival offers scuppered Arsenal's plans, leaving them vulnerable in defense and without the defensive reinforcement they desperately needed.Penn State seeks to stay perfect, takes on FordhamThe collaboration between Luckin Coffee and the maker of the 183.5 yuan co-branded cup was intended to offer customers a stylish and functional drinking vessel for their favorite beverages.

The Washington Commanders are hoping to snap a three-game losing streak when they host the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Now they'll have to do so without two notable names, on Saturday releasing 2023 first-round draft pick Emmanuel Forbes while placing running back Austin Ekeler on injured reserve. Forbes, 23, had been a healthy scratch for the Commanders multiple times this season. His exit is nonetheless notable, considering Washington drafted the Mississippi State product No. 16 overall in 2023. After appearing in 14 games as a rookie, the young cover man struggled to find a role under new management this summer, and dipped farther on the cornerback depth chart after the in-season trade acquisition of former New Orleans Saints star Marshon Lattimore , who's yet to make his Washington debut. Forbes posted a reference to Job 8:7-17 upon his release, seemingly hinting at his abrupt tenure in Washington: "Your beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous will your future be." Ekeler, meanwhile, has been a steady change-of-pace back for the Commanders' offense when healthy, though he suffered his second concussion of the 2024 season in Week 12. His move to injured reserve guarantees at least a four-game absence, meaning he'll be sidelined for all but one of the Commanders' remaining regular-season games, and perhaps the rest of the year. Signed to a one-year deal this offseason after seven seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers , Ekeler has totaled 701 yards from scrimmage in tandem with Brian Robinson Jr. , securing 33 catches as a secondary passing outlet for rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels . His absence figures to result in more touches for reserve back Jeremy McNichols , who's set to serve as the No. 2 alongside Robinson this week.State-owned Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) has garnered an international award from a regional research organization for its pioneering sustainability initiatives in the country, a top official said.

ELKO – “Put the child first.” That’s the motto of the Great Basin Children’s Advocacy Center, which serves child crime victims in Elko, Eureka, Lander and White Pine counties and tribal lands within those areas. Since the center opened a year ago, its team has been busy, providing advocacy for 68 families, conducting 120 forensic interviews, 289 mental health sessions, 11 medical examinations and assisting the Department of Child and Family Services in 104 cases. According to Elko County District Attorney Tyler Ingram, the center assists in investigations for jurisdictions outside of “typical partnerships.” “When a child in our region discloses a crime that happened somewhere else, the center and local law enforcement will provide ‘interagency assists’ by using nationally recognized procedures and protocols to interview children and/or conduct exams,” Ingram said. The Center works with law enforcement agencies across the region, including the sheriff offices in Elko, Eureka, Lander and White Pine, police in Elko and Carlin, DCFS, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Department of Homeland Security, FBI, and Elko, Lander, White Pine and Sho-Pai social services. Grant funding provides for one full-time employee and one part-time employee. the center is a National Children’s Advocacy Center member launched in Huntsville, Alabama, in 1985. More than 1,100 CACs are nationwide. “All CACs are governed by a standardized accreditation process, and the entire system is geared toward regular interaction between CACs to help us improve and develop together,” Ingram said. He praised the connection between the local facility and other centers, which “offer GBCAC unique insight into the dynamics of multi-disciplinary teams, and continually reinforces how amazing and unique our team is.” The team’s motto to “put the child first” helps “passionate and strong people and organizations” deal with situations that are “not for the faint of heart” and help them through their work. Ingram said the center's team members maintain a focus on the children and their trauma through an investigation as “our law enforcement partners defer to using GBCAC-affiliated trauma-focused professionals because it is best for the children. We are honored by their confidence in our abilities and contribution.” However, “it can become a habit to look at the criminal justice angle as a measurement of the efficacy of CAC services and investigative practices,” he added. Although the center works with law enforcement agencies through a case, its “primary purpose is the children we work with. Period,” Ingram said. Elko’s facility, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization led by a volunteer board of directors, opened last year through “the kindness and generosity of community partners,” Ingram said. The site is the former city of Elko’s police headquarters across from the Municipal Swimming Pool. Contributions for the facility were donated by the Pennington Foundation, Nevada Gold Mines and NGM Heritage Fund, Eureka County, White Pine County, Elko August Give Back, NV Energy, Southwest Gas, McEwen Mining, Kinross Gold, Lamoille Women’s Club, LDS Church, Elko Motor Co., Soroptimist International of Elko, Festival of Trees, Toys for Tots, the Inter-Tribal Council of Nevada and other private donations. On Nov. 21, the center celebrated its first anniversary with an open-house event. Sponsors included Machi’s, Print N Copy Center, Amy’s Sweet Treats, the Giddy Garden, the Elko Convention Center, the Star Hotel and the Event Source.

The study, conducted by researchers from Perth's Curtin University, indicates that Mars once had boiling hydrothermal systems like Earth's volcanoes. This also means that the planet may have been habitable at some point in its history and could have supported microbial life. 'Black Beauty' meteorite offers unique insights The research team analyzed meteorites from a space rock named NWA7034, or 'Black Beauty.' Unlike most Martian meteorites, which are mostly igneous or mantle rocks, these offer unique insights into Mars's geological history. Aaron Cavosie, a planetary scientist from Curtin University's Space Science and Technology Centre in Australia, said Black Beauty is unique as it is a regolith sample from Mars's surface and contains hundreds of rock and mineral fragments from different sources across the planet. Zircon grain analysis reveals hot water on Mars About 20 meteorites discovered on Earth are thought to have come from Mars during the impact that brought the original Black Beauty stone here. A minuscule zircon grain inside one of these meteorites, studied for the first time in 2022, provided clues about Mars's early crust formation and preserved evidence of past meteorite impacts. Cavosie said these meteorites offer valuable clues to reconstruct Mars's geological history. Element patterns hint at Mars's early history The research team studied the Martian zircon grain's trace elements to gain insight into its early history. Researchers used nano-scale geochemistry to uncover evidence of hot water on Mars 4.45 billion years ago. They also detected element patterns in zircon, like sodium, iron, yttrium, as well as aluminum. These patterns revealed that these elements were incorporated into the grain as it grew. "Hydrothermal systems were essential for life on Earth and our findings suggest Mars also had water," Cavosie said.However, despite the efforts to secure a new deal, sources suggest that the player could opt to leave the club next summer in search of regular playing time at a club where he can further develop his skills and make a name for himself on the big stage. This decision may be influenced by the player's desire to fulfill his potential and establish himself as a top-level striker in the competitive world of professional football.
