Marine City’S Premier Health Clinic Celebrates 3 Yrs Of Fall Prevention Therapy
LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) — Tyrese Hunter scored 17 of his 26 points after halftime to lead Memphis to a 99-97 overtime win against two-time defending national champion and second-ranked UConn on Monday in the first round of the Maui Invitational . Hunter shot 7 of 10 from 3-point range for the Tigers (5-0), who were 12 of 22 from beyond at the arc as a team. PJ Haggerty had 22 points and five assists, Colby Rogers had 19 points and Dain Dainja scored 14. Tarris Reed Jr. had 22 points and 11 rebounds off the bench for the Huskies (4-1). Alex Karaban had 19 points and six assists, and Jaylin Stewart scored 16. Memphis led by as many as 13 with about four minutes left in regulation, but UConn chipped away and eventually tied it on Solo Ball’s 3-pointer with 1.2 seconds remaining. Memphis: The Tigers ranked second nationally in field goal percentage going into the game and shot it at a 54.7% clip. UConn: The Huskies saw their string of 17 consecutive wins dating back to February come to an end. The teams were tied at 92 with less than a minute remaining in overtime when UConn coach Dan Hurley was assessed a technical foul for his displeasure with an over-the-back call against Liam McNeeley. PJ Carter hit four straight free throws — two for the tech and the other pair for the personal foul — to give Memphis a 96-92 lead with 40.3 seconds to play. UConn had three players foul out. Memphis attempted 40 free throws and made 29 of them. Memphis will play the winner of Colorado-Michigan State on Tuesday in the second round of the invitational. UConn will play the loser of that game in the consolation bracket. Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .

Over the past few years, integrity has become the subject of heated argument as far as elections are concerned. According to various claims, traditional voting systems suffer from problems like fraud, failure and lack of transparency which has led to a global discussion on enhancement of electoral systems. Among them is the inclusion of blockchain voting systems which has been touted as a revolutionary system. But do they really solve these problems of election integrity or are they just dreams with no realistic hope of becoming a reality? A blockchain is essentially a distributed ledger, which means a structure for keeping records of transactions across a network of computers in such a way that it is impossible to change or alter any transactions stored in it. Regarding elections and voting, the integration of blockchain technology offers a vote banking platform where one can cast, confirm and tally votes without the need for central authority. Consensus is the term used in this case for the need to agree upon transactions which are captured in the form of votes, each vote is like a transaction and placed in an encrypted sequence of transactions which is stored in blocks and visible to all participants in real-time. Blockchain's open ledger ensures that every vote is publicly visible while maintaining voter anonymity. This transparency can help eliminate suspicions of tampering, as all stakeholders can independently verify the vote count. The cryptographic mechanisms inherent in blockchain make it highly resistant to hacking. Once a vote is recorded, it cannot be altered without the consensus of the entire network, making tampering virtually impossible. Voting through the use of blockchain technology may make it possible for citizens to vote without physically being present in their countries. It is particularly useful for non-resident citizens, soldiers, or the physically challenged. Extensive and costly arrangements are usually needed in normal voting systems right from preparing the election venues to the manual processing of ballots. Such systems can be replaced with the use of block chain technology in which the results are automatically processed within seconds with little or no human help. No matter how prefect vote is cast in the voting system based on blockchain, each and every vote will be regarded to a particular source but not disclosing the actual voter. This means that even after the elections, the possibilities of losing the records of the voters will not happen and therefore no more issues concerning miscounting will arise. Not everyone has access to the technology or infrastructure required for blockchain voting, potentially disenfranchising certain groups, particularly in rural or underdeveloped areas. Voters may be put off by complex blockchain systems, which can lead to confusion and mistakes or, inversely, no participation at all. Thus, user-friendly systems and proper voter awareness are crucial for large-scale adoption. Present blockchain technologies are limited in their ability to support the multinational scope of national elections. If certain transaction processing times too long, people may lose trust in the system. Many voters will not trust the system claiming that it is created using core concepts of blockchain technology , as they may not be aware of what is behind the system. In most countries, electoral law does not recognize or endorse the paradigm of voting through Blockchain. Enabling these systems would mean drastic changes in the law, and standardization processes would have to be put in place. While the introduction of blockchain voting systems offers the prospect of rectifying several challenges associated with conventional voting systems. Their implementation will not only be problematic but also impossible without addressing profound technological, societal and legal barriers. In the light of the struggles of the global community towards achieving proper elections, one may say that all these innovative efforts serve a very important purpose, even if it wouldn't be the permanent solution. Mingling it with sound cyber defense, citizen enlightenment, and other conventional measures would lead to the realization of a more open and credible electoral process in the near future.

(ANI) (This is an unedited and auto-generated story from Syndicated News feed, LatestLY Staff may not have modified or edited the content body)From Okwe Obi, Abuja Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Kukah, has identified nepotism as part of Nigeria’s problem, saying that ministerial appointments among others were often based on personal relationships rather than merit. He also attributed the country’s problem to lack of knowledge, capacity and preparedness of its leaders. The fiery cleric specifically reiterated that the likes of former presidents, Olusegun Obasanjo, Umar Yar’Adua, Goodluck Jonathan, Muhammadu Buhari came to power unprepared. He, however, said it was unfortunate that millions of Nigerians still battle poverty despite President Bola Tinubu’s “preparedness” to govern the country. Kukah stated this at the fourth Amaka Ndoma-Egba Memorial Lecture, with the theme, “Leaders of tomorrow: Creating lasting change in a complex world,” in Abuja. The wife of former Senate leader, Ndoma Egba, died in an autocrash in Ondo State in 2020. He said: “I do not want to bore you, but run through, from the beginning, you will find out that almost everybody who came to power in Nigeria was as the result of one accident or the other. “President Tinubu, well, he prepared for it. However, we are still trying to get off the ground. But he took over from Buhari, who had already given up. “Buhari took over from Jonathan, who was thinking that after being deputy governor, he would go somewhere else and then something happened. “Jonathan took over from Yar’Adua, who had actually said he was going to teach at Ahmadu Bello University as he was finishing his term as governor. “Yar’Adua took over from Obasanjo, who was in prison, and was not expecting to come out but he somehow found himself out of prison. “Obasanjo took over from Abacha, who, sadly, even though the five political parties had said he would rule forever, was taken by nature. “Abacha took over from Ernest Shonekan, who was busy at the United African Company of Nigeria, and then they told him to come and be head of state. We can go all the way down but fundamental to governance is knowledge.” He reminded political office holders that the benefit of democracy is beyond physical infrastructure like roads, railways, and other projects, but the wellbeing of citizens. According to him, if democracy is solely about infrastructure, people would still be praising authoritarian regimes like Adolf Hitler and apartheid South Africa, which he said built impressive infrastructure during their reigns. “Democracy’s benefits are often not necessarily measurable. They are largely intangible. It is understanding how to expand the frontiers of human imagination,” he stated. He observed that Nigerians are impatient with the current state of democracy in the country, which he noted is hardly working. Kukah stated that despite the country’s little progress, Nigerians are never satisfied. He added that the nation would never be in a perfect place because such places do not exist. He said: “We have made a choice to live with democracy as it is. We know that our democracy is hardly working, although I would make quick to say that we are very impatient with ourselves; very, very impatient. “Nigerians are surprised when I say we have done pretty well. We are absolutely not happy and we will probably never be happy, because that’s not how the world is. You’ve got this, you want this, you want that. We are insatiable. “Now, we are not in a perfect place, because perfect places don’t exist, and we shouldn’t be looking for leaders who will take us to a place of perfection, because nobody has found that kind of place. However, there are minimum conditions that we require in a leader, and I think we need to use them to measure the whole concept of leadership. The bishop stressed the need for leaders to have set goals, boldness, courage, and patriotism, adding that true leadership was about influencing citizens, not just holding office. Meanwhile, Cross River State Governor, Bassey Otu, commissioned a legacy building in honour of the deceased. NDLEA Chairman, Marwa, who was chairman of the occasion, used the opportunity to expose the students, teachers and even parents to dangers of drug and substance abuse to their lives. He asked the students to eschew actions that could lead them to drug and substance abuse, so they can fully actualise their potential in life.
Stock market today: Dow hits another record as stocks riseSyrian government forces have lost control of Daraa city, a war monitor said, in another stunning blow for President Bashar al-Assad's rule after rebels wrested other key cities from his grip. Daraa was dubbed "the cradle of the revolution" early in Syria's civil war, after activists accused the government of detaining and torturing a group of boys for scribbling anti-Assad graffiti on their school walls in 2011. While Aleppo and Hama, the two other main cities taken from government control in recent days, fell to an Islamist-led rebel alliance, Daraa fell to local armed groups, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. "Local factions have taken control of more areas in Daraa province, including Daraa city... they now control more than 90 percent of the province, as regime forces successively pulled out," the Britain-based Observatory said late Friday, which relies on a network of sources around Syria. Daraa province borders Jordan. Despite a truce brokered by Assad ally Russia, it has been plagued by unrest in recent years, with frequent attacks, clashes and assassinations. Syria's civil war, which began with Assad's crackdown on democracy protests, has killed more than 500,000 people and forced more than half the population to flee their homes. Never in the war had Assad's forces lost control of so many key cities in such a short space of time. Since a rebel alliance led by the Islamist Hayat Tahrir al-Sham launched its offensive on November 27, the government has lost second city Aleppo and subsequently Hama in central Syria. The rebels were on Friday at the gates of Homs, Syria's third city, as the government pulled out its troops from Deir Ezzor in the east to redeploy towards to the centre. In an interview published on Friday, the leader of HTS, Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, said the aim of the offensive was to overthrow Assad. "When we talk about objectives, the goal of the revolution remains the overthrow of this regime. It is our right to use all available means to achieve that goal," Jolani told CNN. HTS is rooted in the Syrian branch of Al-Qaeda. Proscribed as a terrorist organisation by Western governments, it has sought to soften its image in recent years. According to Fabrice Balanche, a lecturer at France's Lumiere Lyon 2 university, HTS now controls 20,000 square kilometres (more than 7,700 square miles) of territory, nearly seven times as much as it did before the offensive started. As the army and its Iran-backed militia allies pulled out of Deir Ezzor in eastern Syria, Kurdish-led forces said they crossed the Euphrates and took control of the territory that had been vacated. The Observatory said government troops and their allies withdrew "suddenly" from the east and headed towards the oasis town of Palmyra on the desert road to Homs. The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, who are backed by the United States, expressed readiness for dialogue with both Turkey and the rebels, saying the offensive heralded a "new" political reality for Syria. The rebels launched their offensive the same day a ceasefire took effect in neighbouring Lebanon in the war between Israel and Hezbollah. The Lebanese militant group has been an important Assad ally, alongside Russia and Iran. Turkey, which has backed the opposition, said it would hold talks with Russia and Iran in Qatar this weekend. Ahead of the talks, the top diplomats of Iran, Iraq and Syria met in Baghdad, where Syria's Bassam al-Sabbagh accused the government's enemies of seeking to "redraw the political map". Iran's Abbas Araghchi pledged to provide Assad's government with "whatever (support) is needed". In Homs, scene of some of the war's deadliest violence, tens of thousands of members of Assad's Alawite minority were fleeing, fearing the rebels' advance, residents and the Britain-based Observatory said. Syrians who were forced out of the country years ago by the initial crackdown on the revolt were glued to their phones as they watched current developments unfold. "We've been dreaming of this for more than a decade," said Yazan, a 39-year-old former activist who now lives in France. Asked whether he was worried about HTS's Islamist agenda, he said: "It doesn't matter to me who is conducting this. The devil himself could be behind it. What people care about is who is going to liberate the country." On the other side of the sectarian divide, Haidar, 37, who lives in an Alawite-majority neighbourhood, told AFP by telephone that "fear is the umbrella that covers Homs now". The army shelled the advancing rebels as Syrian and Russian aircraft struck from the skies. At least 20 civilians, including five children, were killed in the bombardment, the war monitor added. At least 826 people, mostly combatants but also including 111 civilians, have been killed since the offensive began last week, according to the Observatory's figures, while the United Nations said the violence has displaced 280,000 people. Many of the scenes witnessed in recent days would have been unimaginable earlier in the war. In Hama, an AFP photographer saw residents set fire to a giant poster of Assad on the facade of city hall. "Our joy is indescribable, and we wish this for every honourable Syrian to experience these happy moments that we have been deprived of since birth," said Hama resident Ghiath Suleiman. Online footage verified by AFP showed residents toppling a statue of Assad's father Hafez, under whose brutal rule the army carried out a massacre in the city in the 1980s. Aron Lund, a fellow of the Century International think tank, called the loss of Hama "a massive, massive blow to the Syrian government". Should Assad lose Homs, it wouldn't mean the end of his rule, Lund said, but "with no secure route from Damascus to the coast, I'd say it's over as a credible state entity". bur-ser/rsc
Pep Guardiola admits the buck stops with him as Manchester City bid to arrest their dramatic slump in form. The champions crashed to a fifth straight defeat in all competitions – something not experienced by the club in more than 18 years – as they were thrashed 4-0 by Tottenham at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. The loss, which was also a third in succession in the Premier League and shattered a 52-game unbeaten home run, damaged the club’s hopes of winning an unprecedented fifth title in a row. It is the worst run of Guardiola’s glittering managerial career and the City boss, who extended his contract until 2027 last week, is determined to turn the situation around. The Catalan said: “When we start to lose I say to the people I have to find a way, I have to. It’s my duty, my responsibility, to find a way to be more consistent, that our game will be better and win games. “This is what we have to do.” City have been hampered by injuries to key players in recent weeks, particularly by the absence of Ballon d’Or-winning midfielder Rodri, who has been sidelined for the remainder of the season. Problems have emerged at both ends of the field with a lack of clean sheets – just five in 19 outings this term – and a shortage of goals being scored on occasions, like Saturday, when the prolific Erling Haaland has an off-day. Guardiola said: “We don’t expect to lose important players but it’s happened and you have to find a way. We have to find other abilities. “I don’t think we didn’t create enough chances. We created a lot of chances, clear ones at 0-0, 0-1, 0-2. “Of course we want a lot of players to score but it’s happened now. “I know at the Etihad when we are there and we score goals our momentum is there, but now we are not solid enough. That is the truth. “In both sides normally we are solid but we concede the goals. Now in both sides we are not good enough. “In these situations, what do you have do to? Keep going my friends, keep going. “We have done it in the past – not in terms of results being as bad as now – but we have done it and we face the situation and move forward.”
