Top 10 Best Corporate Law Firms in India 2025 | Legal Excellence Redefined2024 Year in Review: Gaza’s unfinished humanitarian catastropheBy James Boyd, Charlotte Carroll and Jelani Scott The New York Giants shook up the 2025 NFL Draft while crushing the Indianapolis Colts’ playoff hopes in the process with a 45-33 win on Sunday. The Colts’ loss eliminated Indianapolis (7-9) from playoff contention. The Giants (3-13) picked up their first win at MetLife Stadium this season in their final home game thanks to career days from quarterback Drew Lock and rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers. Advertisement Lock had a near-perfect passer rating (155.3), 309 passing yards and five total touchdowns — four passing and one rushing. Nabers’ Week 17 effort (seven catches, 171 yards and two TDs) gave the wideout his first 1,000-yard season. The Giants added three defensive takeaways and their first kickoff return TD since 2015. While the win gave the Giants a rare 2024 highlight, the aftermath clouds their chances for the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Giants entered Week 17 holding No. 1 pick, but with the win, the Giants brought numerous teams back into contention for it. Indy’s playoff hopes go up in smoke The Colts needed to win Sunday to keep their playoff hopes alive. They couldn’t deliver and will miss the playoffs for the fourth straight year. The Colts fell behind 21-6 with just under six minutes left in the second quarter and were never able to overcome Lock’s hot start. The Giants QB threw three TD passes on the Giants’ first four drives and finished the first half with more TDs (three) than incompletions (one). Colts QB Joe Flacco was hardly as successful. The 39-year-old passer, who filled in for the injured Anthony Richardson (back/foot), finished 26-of-38 passing for 330 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. His 13-yard and 7-yard TD passes to receivers Alec Pierce and Michael Pittman Jr. cut the Giants’ lead to two points twice in the fourth quarter. But Flacco’s interception with 2:57 left proved to be the dagger. Jonathan Taylor tried to put the Colts’ offense on his back midway through the game, but it was to no avail. The running back finished with 32 carries for 125 yards and two TDs, notching his seventh 100-yard rushing game of the season. — James Boyd, Colts beat writer Giants’ shot at top pick in peril The Giants broke a franchise record 10-game losing streak and avoided going winless at home for the first time since 1974, but it’ll come with a hefty cost — potentially losing out on the No. 1 pick. With their third win, they’re no longer in control of the first pick. Their strength of schedule will determine their position fate. Advertisement While players and coaches looked thrilled, fans in the stands and on social media expressed trepidation at the possibility of losing out on the pick for the win. — Charlotte Carroll, Giants beat writer Terrible tackling dooms Indy in defeat Indianapolis’ season-long tackling issues reared their ugly head again at the worst time. Three of the Giants’ touchdowns came after the Colts missed open-field tackles, perhaps most egregiously on Nabers’ 59-yard TD catch in the fourth quarter that gave New York a 35-26 lead. The Giants’ rookie caught the ball near the sideline, and cornerbacks Kenny Moore II and Sam Womack III both whiffed on tackles near the sideline that allowed Nabers to race down the sideline and ultimately to victory. The Giants entered Sunday’s game with the worst scoring offense in the NFL at just 14.3 points per game. However, they exploded for a season-high 35 offensive points against the Colts, plus a 100-yard kickoff return TD by Ihmir Smith-Marsette to open the second half. Smith-Marsette’s long score marked the Giants’ first kickoff return touchdown since 2015. The Colts defense also failed to sack Lock and managed only one QB hit. — Boyd Required reading (Photo: Vincent Carchietta / Imagn Images)
Faraday Future Announces it Will Change its Stock Ticker Symbol to "FFAI" and Host an “FF AI Open Day” Event in Early 2025ISLAMABAD: In a groundbreaking move to combat climate change, the Federal Cabinet has approved Pakistan’s first-ever Carbon Market Policy. The policy, spearheaded by the Ministry of Climate Change and Environmental Coordination, is a bold step toward achieving the country’s climate and development goals while aligning with global efforts under the Paris Agreement. The Carbon Market Policy provides a comprehensive framework to operationalize carbon markets in Pakistan, creating opportunities for emissions reductions across sectors such as energy, agriculture, waste management, and forestry. According to Climate Ministry Spokesperson, the initiative aims to attract both domestic and international investments while ensuring social equity and environmental integrity. The Ministry highlighted that the policy is rooted in three pillars: environmental integrity, economic development, and equitable benefit sharing. These priorities ensure that projects under the carbon market generate real, verifiable emission reductions and deliver economic and social benefits for communities. The approval process has been made simple and efficient to attract investors, with minimal fees. A Corresponding Adjustment Fee (CAF) will allocate 12% of net revenues to provincial and national climate funds, while only 5% of credits generated will be adjusted toward Pakistan’s voluntary climate commitments. The policy is supported by international organizations such as USAID, World Bank, UNEP, and GIZ, which are aiding Pakistan in building carbon market regulations, a carbon registry, and a pipeline of projects. These partnerships are expected to mobilize significant capital and expertise to turn the policy into impactful actions for climate resilience. Federal officials emphasized that the policy will channel investments into sectors with high emissions reduction potential, foster the deployment of clean technologies, and contribute to achieving Pakistan’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). With this policy, Pakistan has extended an invitation to global carbon market players to collaborate in developing projects that support national development, uplift local communities, and contribute to a sustainable low-carbon economy. “This policy marks a decisive step forward for Pakistan’s climate ambition. It’s a call to action for both domestic and global partners to join hands in creating a resilient, low-carbon future for Pakistan,” stated the ministry spokesperson. As one of the most climate-vulnerable nations, Pakistan’s proactive approach through its Carbon Market Policy could set a benchmark for other developing nations striving for sustainable growth and climate action.

Users can interview their matched attorneys and proceed only if they feel comfortable. "There's no cost to be matched, and no obligation to hire. It's a risk-free way to find the best legal help," Arteaga emphasized. Arteaga's vision is deeply rooted in his own journey and commitment to making a difference.

Loveland announced his decision Friday on social media . Though Michigan struggled in the passing game during a 7-5 regular season, Loveland was one of Michigan’s bright spots. He finished his junior season with 56 receptions, a school record for a tight end, 582 receiving yards and five touchdowns. Advertisement Loveland, an unheralded prospect from Gooding, Idaho, earned playing time as a freshman and was one of the key players in Michigan’s national championship season as a sophomore. The 6-foot-5 Loveland’s fluidity as a route runner made him one of the top tight end prospects in college football and a potential top-15 pick. “If he’s not ready to go play in the NFL , I don’t know who would be,” tight ends coach Steve Casula said earlier this season. “He’s outstanding. When you compare his movement skills, his athleticism, ball skills, all that stuff, (you can) compare him against NFL players right now.” Loveland became the third Michigan junior to declare for the draft, joining Johnson and Graham, two other potential first-round picks. Loveland didn’t address the ReliaQuest Bowl in his announcement but the mid-December draft declarations indicate the Wolverines will be without some of their top players when they face Alabama on Dec. 31. Loveland and Johnson were recovering from injuries, and neither played in Michigan’s season-ending upset of Ohio State . Analyzing Loveland’s draft stock In terms of pure receiver ability, Loveland is the best tight end in the 2025 NFL Draft class. His route nuance, ball skills, hand reliability and toughness at the catch point was simply more consistent over a longer period of time than Penn State stud Tyler Warren or anyone else. In just about every area, Loveland has first-round traits as a big, bendy target with speed and an ability to adjust in the air. As a blocker, Loveland was often the spread tight end during Michigan’s national title run with former tight end A.J. Barner occupying much of the inline responsibility. Loveland is a solid inline blocker, he’s not an elite one. In fact, some NFL teams may wind up preferring Warren – a more powerful and, frankly, bigger athlete – over Loveland simply based on this. He also missed the Ohio State game, his last in the series, with a shoulder injury. At the same time, he’s easily a top-20 talent in this draft. Whether or not he winds up in the top 20 — or completely locked into the first round in a weird year — remains to be seen. #Michigan TE Colston Loveland lined up all over the place as usual Saturday night.
