US to require passenger vehicles to sound alarms if rear passengers don't fasten their seat beltsRavens’ John Harbaugh doesn’t rule out bringing in kicker to compete with Justin Tucker
Hailee Steinfeld's Coworker Causes a Stir After Josh Allen EngagementStakeholders have challenged leadership recruitment processes across Africa, especially on the political front. They have therefore called for more actions in support of initiatives aimed at liberating African minds across all sectors to rise to the challenge of repositioning Africa as a moral and technological superpower in the spirit of the African Renaissance. The call was made yesterday by stakeholders and participants at the 10th edition of the African Roots Renaissance Roundtable (AR3), held at Wigwe University in Isiokpo, in Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State. The AR3 was initiated in 2015 by Nollywood legend and university don, Dr. Sam Dede. The roundtable is held annually, exploring various themes in line with its objective to reawaken the African mind and reignite the spirit of African consciousness, especially among young people. Vice-Chancellor of the University, Professor Marwan Al-Akaidi, at the event, charged African leaders and citizens to go beyond conversations and begin to take Afro-centric actions that would reshape the future of the continent. The conference was themed ‘Globalization, the New World Order and the Hijacked Concept of Africanism’. At the event, which drew participants from the university community and beyond, the Vice-Chancellor said the Roundtable re-echoes the vision of the founder of Wigwe University, the late Dr Herbert Wigwe, ‘to ignite Africa’s potential for prosperity, nurture responsible fearless leaders, and become the leading university in Africa’. The Convener, Dr Dede, said the initiative was inspired by the exigent need to confront dominant negative perceptions about Africa, illuminate young minds with new paradigms of knowledge, and empower them to go beyond boundaries in driving the true African narratives. This, according to him, will help achieve extraordinary feats to project Africa’s preeminent position in world leadership, a position denied for several years by deeply entrenched anti-Africa chronicles. On the theme, Dede said: “The pace of the race towards globalisation and the so-called ‘New World Order’ is extremely confusing and difficult to understand for some of us in Africa and the developing world. “Increasingly, the continent has become a mass of ordinary spectators around a specially designed grand chessboard, manipulated and manoeuvred by ‘forces’, sometimes spiritual, whose perception of us is that of a people with very little or no value whatsoever. And by far, the grand mind game has positioned us to accept and believe the same perception and narrative about ourselves. Given that evolution will always create the need for adaptation, Africa is desperately in a frantic race to adapt to the ‘New World Order’ and globalisation, against our original concepts of traditional or cultural values and philosophies.” In their contributions to the engaging conversation, various speakers, including Mr. Deinbofa Ere, Dr. Tayo Isijola, Dr. Kennedy Modugu, Prof. Kalu Nwosu, Dr. Henry Dienye, Dr. Ikenna Onyeachu, Mr Innocent Ekwulo, Chief Adi Wali, Dr. Gift Worlu, Mr. Emmanuel Ephraim, and Anthonia Tekuru, advocated for a redefinition of the concept of globalization to enable young Africans to locate it within the context of dignifying African values. Director of Academic Planning, Wigwe University, Professor Chinyere Ukaga; Dean, College of Engineering, Professor Makanjuola Oki; Dean, College of Management and Social Sciences, Dr. Kennedy Modugu; Dean, Faculty of Humanities, University of Port Harcourt, Professor John Yeseibo; Professor Friday Nwafor; Curator/CEO of Moriri Gallery, Mr. Kayode Adeoti; Dr. Obari Osaro; Professor B. Chima Onuoha; renowned poet, Chijioke Amu Nnnadi; Dr. Prolific Mataruse; Dr. Ekeoma Peter Kings; and publisher of Ojemba magazine online, Victor Nwokocha, were among the notable dignitaries present at the event. The convener applauded Wigwe University and the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Al-Akaidi, among others, for their support in making the ‘Roundtable’ a great success.

PRAGUE, Czech Republic (AP) — When the referee whistled for the free kick just outside the area, Atletico Madrid forward Julián Álvarez quickly picked up the ball and moved in position to take the shot. “When I saw the free kick, I told Rodri (Rodrigo De Paul) that I felt confident with the shot,” Álvarez said. “And it was a great goal.” Álvarez, , has not been lacking confidence lately. The Argentina forward curled in the free kick shot in the 15th minute for the first of his two goals in the team’s 6-0 rout of Brest in the Champions League on Tuesday — the team’s biggest ever away win in European competitions. “We'll keep rotating who takes the free kicks,” said Álvarez, who also found the net in the 59th. It was Álvarez’s seventh goal in the last 10 matches, and third in his last three games across all competitions. The 24-year-old had a slow start to his first season with Atletico, scoring twice in 10 matches. “It was a matter of time before we started connecting well with each other,” said Álvarez, who joined Atletico after two seasons at Manchester City. “We have to stay on this path to keep improving.” Ángel Correa also scored two goals for Atletico, with Marcos Llorente and Antoine Griezmann adding one each. “We know that in this format of the competition we need to keep adding the three points and scoring goals," Álvarez said. "It's important to get the points and the goals.” Atletico was sitting in 13th place in the 36-team league standings. AP soccer:EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) — Cameron Haffner scored 13 points as Evansville beat Missouri State 57-40 on Sunday to snap a five-game losing streak.

Evansville carried a slim three-point lead into halftime, as Haffner led the way with seven points. Evansville took the lead for what would be the final time on Haffner's 3-pointer with 18:44 remaining in the second half. His team would outscore Missouri State by 14 points in the second half. The Associated Press created this story using technology provided by Data Skrive and data from Sportradar .DETROIT (AP) — Starting in September of 2027, all new passenger vehicles in the U.S. will have to sound a warning if rear-seat passengers don't buckle up. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Monday that it finalized the rule, which also requires enhanced warnings when front seat belts aren't fastened. The agency estimates that the new rule will save 50 lives per year and prevent 500 injuries when fully in effect, according to a statement. The new rule will apply to passenger cars, trucks, buses except for school buses, and multipurpose vehicles weighing up to 10,000 pounds. Before the rule, seat belt warnings were required only for the driver's seat. Under the new rule, outboard front-seat passengers also must get a warning if they don't fasten their belts. Front-center seats will not get a warning because NHTSA found that it wouldn't be cost effective. The agency said most vehicles already have warnings for the outboard passenger seats. The rule also lengthens the duration of audio and visual warnings for the driver's seat. The front-seat rules are effective starting Sept. 1 of 2026. Rear passengers consistently use seat belts at a lower rate than front passengers, the agency says. In 2022, front belt use was just under 92%, while rear use dropped to about 82%. About half of automobile passengers who died in crashes two years ago weren’t wearing belts, according to NHTSA data. The seat belt rule is the second significant regulation to come from NHTSA in the past two months. In November the agency bolstered its five-star auto safety ratings to include driver assistance technologies and pedestrian protection. Safety advocates want the Department of Transportation, which includes NHTSA, to finish several more rules before the end of the Biden administration, because President-elect Donald Trump has said he’s against new government regulations. Cathy Chase, president of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, urged the department to approve automatic emergency braking for heavy trucks and technology to prevent impaired driving.Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE:TSM) Stock Price Down 0.8% – Should You Sell?
