"The government will ensure that justice is done, and the accused persons are punished. Government is with you," the minister told the inconsolable family members. Later, the minister announced an ex gratia of Rs 10 lakh to the family members of Panchal. "I spoke to the family members who complained to me that the police refused to register a case. I have spoken to senior police officials. Action has been taken against a few policemen," he added. Khandre said the Government Railway Police (GRP) is probing the suicide case and the government would also consider handing over the investigation to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID). The BJP has taken the case seriously. It has demanded that the case should be handed over to the CBI. "The death note written by Panchal, a contractor from Bidar who committed suicide due to harassment by Minister @PriyankKharge's right-hand man, Raju, reveals alarming and serious information that he had given 'Supari' (contract killing) to kill our MLA Basavaraj Mattimadu, BJP leaders Chandu Patil, Manikantha Rathod and Andola Swami," the party's state president B Y Vijayendra said in a statement. Vijayendra and senior BJP functionaries on Sunday evening visited Panchal's residence and spoke to the family members. Priyank Kharge, who is the son of Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, hit out at the BJP for making baseless allegations against him and politicising Panchal's death. He said nowhere in Panchal's death note is his name mentioned, and added that there were financial transactions between Panchal and Kapanur which need to be investigated. Amid mounting pressure, Priyank Kharge met Chief Minister Siddaramaiah at his residence 'Cauvery' in Bengaluru. "Priyank Kharge had a discussion with the chief minister for about 10 minutes. The details of the discussion are not known," sources close to the minister told PTI.

- Powering a new era in Brazil's urban core with the Grand Opening of the Ideal Scientology Mission of Santo André - SANTO ANDRÉ, Brazil, and LOS ANGELES, Calif., Dec. 28, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Santo André, Brazil, is a dynamic city of sophistication and opportunity. Home to three-quarters of a million people, it yet maintains its welcoming attitude and signature friendliness. Although lying within Greater São Paulo’s industrial corridor, green spaces such as Parque Central, with its picturesque lakes and shady walkways, provide respite from the city’s hectic urban tempo. And Parque Chácara da Baronesa transports visitors to the 18th century with its colonial-era mansion and landscaped gardens. Downtown Santo André is a center for nightlife, entertainment, and festivals. And right in the bustling center of this dynamic urban mosaic, the new Ideal Church of Scientology Mission of Santo André welcomes one and all. Scientology Missions form the vanguard of the Scientology religion, providing the full array of basic and introductory Scientology services and Scientology auditing (spiritual counseling). And now joining the ranks of Ideal Missions, the new Scientology Mission in Santo André is designed to serve as the physical embodiment of Scientology technology in helping all to attain spiritual freedom. Community leaders, officials and guests joined Scientologists from across São Paulo and Brazil November 16 to celebrate the Grand Opening of the new Ideal Church of Scientology Mission of Santo André. Joining Mission Director Ms. Andreia dos Santos da Silviera on stage were Officer Renata Breyer Correia of the city of Jundiaí Municipal Guard and Chief Marcos Antônio Pinto de Moraes, Special Class Metropolitan Civil Guard of São Paulo. Working in internal affairs and responsible for the ethics of officers accused of misconduct, Ms. Correia experienced setbacks. “We have 50 supervisors and 460 guards. Those in leadership roles are challenged to effectively guide those under their charge,” she said. “This often leads to extra burden placed on other departments. “In trying to resolve these situations both for myself and my fellows, I discovered Dianetics. I was amazed. Here were answers to why man acted irrationally. This had the answers for how to go from being unmotivated to becoming a dynamic powerhouse. For me personally, as I have learned about and used Dianetics, I have increased my own positive influence on those around me. My goal is to improve Brazilian society through the application of the knowledge I have gained.” Ms. Correia presented the Church with a Certificate of Recognition for its work to spread moral values, promote drug-free living and address immorality and illiteracy in the Greater São Paulo area and throughout Brazil. Chief Moraes became a police officer to help people, particularly those living on the street. “People who need help and are on the margins of society are invisible to many. I find those who are destitute and help bring them back up, getting them out of the life of drugs and degradation that they are suffering from and reuniting them with their families. It was by doing this type of work that I first met the Church of Scientology. “Factually, Scientology found me ,” he said. “Brazilian Scientologists saw the work I was doing and got in touch with me to see how they could support me . That is when I first learned of the Drug-Free World program. This was a tool I could use in my work, both on the streets and with the police. I finally had a way to handle drug abuse before it begins. When people receive the Drug-Free World booklets, they see the truth about what drugs are and the effects they cause.” “I have never seen an organization so well managed as the Church of Scientology. And the entire reason for that level of organization is to increase the well-being of others. This is a church that takes action. If one person in the Church says ‘Let’s do this,’ the entire group aligns and unifies behind accomplishing that goal and changing society. I believe this Ideal Mission represents a new level of action and help for our community. Together, we are going to raise our society and help it prosper.” Chief Moraes presented the Mission with a Certificate of Recognition for reaching many thousands of youth with effective drug education to ensure their own future and that of São Paulo. Mission Director Ms. Andreia dos Santos da Silviera ended the dedication by inviting one and all to tour their new facilities. “Our Mission is here to serve the individual as the central ground from which to emanate Mr. Hubbard’s solutions for drug rehabilitation, drug prevention, and campaigns to salvage every sector of society. And we now open our doors to expand our help to the entire community.” Visitors to the Santo André Mission are welcome to tour the Public Information Display, featuring multimedia presentations of the basic beliefs and practices of Dianetics and Scientology as well as the life and legacy of L. Ron Hubbard. As an Ideal Church of Scientology Mission, Santo André is equipped with every facility needed to provide the full array of introductory Scientology services. These include the popular Life Improvement Courses through which anyone may find workable solutions to common challenges of everyday life—such as how to improve a marriage, successfully raise children, increase personal motivation, and set and achieve goals. The new Mission also offers seminars on a wide range of topics, including personal efficiency. The Hubbard Dianetics Seminar is based on Mr. Hubbard’s watershed work Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health , the bestselling book that reveals the source of one’s nightmares, unreasonable fears and irrational behavior—the reactive mind—and how to conquer it. Additionally, the Mission provides spiritual counseling, known as auditing , and the Purification Program , developed by Mr. Hubbard to free individuals from the mental and spiritual damage caused by drugs and toxins. The grand opening of the Ideal Scientology Mission of Santo André contributed to the record-breaking rollout of new Ideal Scientology Missions opened around the globe in 2024. From Quito, Ecuador, at the geographic center of the globe; to a new Ideal Scientology Mission in the thriving community of McMinnville, Oregon; back-to-back openings in Taiwan in the city of Chiayi, the gateway to the nation’s cultural heritage, and the bustling metropolis of Taichung; and finally, Japan’s thriving port city of Osaka. Many more Ideal Scientology Missions are planned across North and South America, Europe and Asia in the coming year. The Scientology religion was founded by author and philosopher L. Ron Hubbard. Mr. David Miscavige is the Scientology religion’s ecclesiastical leader . The first Church of Scientology was formed in Los Angeles in 1954, and the religion has expanded to more than 11,000 Churches, Missions and affiliated groups, with millions of members in 167 countries.

"I was hopeful that we would see declines in alcohol use, but I'm a practicing liver specialist, and the reality is, we had definitely seen a rise in patients with liver failure, which is really an extreme, I think, clinical condition from excessive alcohol use," Lee said. "So we had definitely seen a surge with the pandemic. And if you look at my clinic and in the hospital, at least from my experience, it hasn't gone down." New research, led by Lee and published Nov. 12 in the Annals of Internal Medicine, found that a spike in alcohol consumption among people in the U.S. in 2020 continued to rise slightly in 2021 and 2022. The study used data from the National Health Interview Survey, administered by the U.S. Census Bureau, and compared the data with 2018 as the baseline. The study included almost 25,000 respondents from 2018, about 31,000 from 2020 and almost 27,000 from 2022. The increase in drinking was seen among both men and women and across all race and ethnic groups. In 2022, 69.3% of Americans reported some alcohol consumption in the previous year, a slight increase from 69% in 2020 and 66.34% in 2018. Additionally, the percentage of heavy drinkers rose to almost 6.3% of those surveyed in 2022, up from 6.13% in 2020 and 5.1% in 2018. "While the findings are troubling, they are not surprising," said Dr. Jagpreet Chhatwal, director of the Institute for Technology Assessment at Massachusetts General Hospital, who was not involved in the study. "Alcohol consumption has been steadily increasing over the past several years." White Americans had the highest change in being heavy drinkers, with roughly 7.3% claiming to be heavy drinkers, an increase from about 5.7% in 2018 and 7.1% in 2020. Women also were more likely to be heavy drinkers, with 6.45% reporting as such, compared with 6.1% of men. It doesn't take much alcohol to increase health dangers, Lee says: "If you're drinking more than one drink per day as a woman, you can be at risk for having liver disease." The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism defines heavy drinking for women as four or more drinks on any day or eight or more per week. For men, it is defined as five or more drinks a day or 15 or more per week. The institute considers a drink to be about 14 grams of pure alcohol, which equates to about 12 ounces of regular beer, 5 ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits. Though the researchers couldn't answer exactly why alcohol consumption was so high among the US adults surveyed, Lee has a few hypotheses. "They had really disruptive pandemic-related effects to their careers, losing jobs or losing their routine. Some of them have young children, too," he said. "We know that alcohol is used as a coping mechanism for stress. What starts as a habit can become addictive or a substance disorder." Chhatwal agreed, adding that life stressors like financial insecurity, work pressure or other mental health struggles may contribute to the rise in alcohol consumption. "Increasing stress and burnout in society exacerbate this tendency," he said. "The normalization of drinking culture also contributes to increased and excessive consumption. Unfortunately, most people recognize the damage caused by alcohol only in the later stages of liver disease, when treatment options are limited." According to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, deaths caused by alcohol use in the U.S. spiked during the pandemic, with over 49,000 in 2020. The height of the pandemic also saw an average of about 488 deaths per day due to excessive alcohol consumption; there was an increase of more than 29% from 2016-17 to 2020-21. Lee believes that research findings alone are no longer enough to deter people from overconsuming. "We've shown in studies that liver transplants for alcohol have increased fivefold in the last 20 years. We've also shown that alcohol deaths due to liver disease are surging," he said. "Now, it's about intervention. What interventions could actually work to save lives and what policies can we enact to stem the surge?" Chhatwal recommends heavier taxation and limiting sale hours within retailers to decrease alcohol accessibility. Lee and Chhatwal also suggest that more and better messaging on the risks of overconsumption could help counter these effects. "People need to know what is harmful alcohol use and what it does to your body," Lee said. "Medical professionals really need to speak to their patients about alcohol use openly and nonjudgmentally. Alcohol has been implicated in more than 200 diseases, whether it's heart disease, cancer, pancreatic disease – it really can affect your body, and both patients and doctors really need to be aware of this."

It works on blockchain technology, which is a distributed ledger across network nodes that eliminates intermediaries such as banks. The verification of transactions is done through mining, whereby miners solve complex puzzles to validate the transactions and earn bitcoins. The supply is capped at 21 million bitcoins. Every four years, a "halving" cuts miners' rewards in half, which impacts the profitability of mining. The potential of Bitcoin is also due to its decentralized nature and limited supply. Currently, in the market cycle, Bitcoin remains of interest as a digital asset with unique features. Conclusion As major coins like BTC show less short-term potential, DOGEN stands out for ambitious individuals seeking success. Expected 700% growth by presale's end, with thousand-fold returns possible.

Aaron Rodgers' days with the Jets could be numbered. On Saturday, NFL insider Dianna Russini reported , "It appears increasingly likely that the four-time MVP, who is banged up, could be placed on injured reserve or possibly benched over the next few weeks. "Some around the league say they won't be surprised if Rodgers is cut in-season," Russini added. (h/t The Athletic) Russini also noted that her "understanding is that Rodgers still wants to play in 2025, just not for the New York Jets." A split would be mutually beneficial, and despite a disappointing 2024 season and having failed to make the playoffs since 2021, Rodgers could still be attractive to QB-needy teams. Here are three potential destinations for the Super Bowl XLV MVP next season: Las Vegas Raiders Rodgers and wide receiver Davante Adams, who was traded from the Raiders to the Jets earlier this season, could trade places. Maybe Adams could give Rodgers, his eight-year Packers teammate, a deal on his $11.4 million Las Vegas mansion . The Raiders (2-8) have struggled to replace former quarterback Derek Carr the past two years, and Gardner Minshew, Aidan O'Connell and Desmond Ridder have all received playing time this season. They've combined to go 241-of-362 (66.6 percent) for 2,098 yards (6.4 yards per attempt), 11 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. Rookie tight end Brock Bowers is a budding star. He has 70 receptions, 703 yards and four touchdowns this season. Underrated wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is also signed through 2025. Per Pro Football Focus data , he's one of four wide receivers with at least 55 targets who haven't been credited with a drop. His 71.4 percent contested catch rate is the second-highest among qualifying players, only trailing Commanders wideout Terry McLaurin. Cleveland Browns The Browns are probably stuck with quarterback Deshaun Watson. Spotrac shared his untenable dead cap hits for the next few seasons, which includes a $118.9 million dead cap hit in 2025 if released following the 2024 season. For the "just cut Deshaun now" crowd: 2024 Dead Cap: $119,942,678 ($93.2M cash) 2025 Dead Cap: $80,770,000 For the "cut Deshaun after 2024" crowd: 2025 Dead Cap: $118,935,000 ($92M cash) 2026 Dead Cap: $53,835,000 For the "cut Deshaun after 2025" crowd: 2026 Dead Cap:... But Watson was one of the league's worst quarterbacks before suffering a season-ending ACL injury (Weeks 1-7), while backup Jameis Winston has made them more competitive, going 2-2 in his two starts. Cleveland averaged 15.6 points and 253.9 yards per game in the first seven games. Over its last four, it has averaged 19.3 points and 360 yards per game. The organization might not rid itself of Watson, but that doesn't mean it has to start him. The Browns would only be able to offer Rodgers backup money, but that's about what he's worth at this point of his career. The distractions could be astronomical, but better to contain that chaos in one franchise than allow it to infect multiple. Minnesota Vikings Rodgers could follow former Packers quarterback Brett Favre's path — although hopefully skipping forays into amateur photography and fundraising — and sign with the Vikings. Favre signed with the Vikings in August 2009 after the Jets released him that April. Injured rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy's progress from knee surgery would influence Minnesota's potential interest. McCarthy suffered his injury during the preseason and had surgery in August. On Nov. 13 , ESPN's Kevin Seifert reported McCarthy underwent a second surgery while noting "he remains on track to return for the 2025 season." The Vikings (8-2) signed 2024 starter Sam Darnold to a one-year, $10 million deal this offseason, and he might receive interest elsewhere after keeping Minnesota competitive in the NFC. If McCarthy doesn't seem like he'll be ready for the start of next season, the Vikings could do much worse than pursuing Rodgers as an insurance policy.Chhattisgarh: BJP Targets Congress Over Bitcoin Scam; Alleges Involvement Of Bhupesh Baghel
