7/11 jacinto boulevard

7/11 jacinto boulevard NAPLES, Fla. (AP) — Narin An handled the windy conditions with a hot putter on Thursday, making four straight birdies around the turn and finishing with an 8-under 64 for a one-shot lead in the CME Group Tour Championship. At stake for the 60-player field is a $4 million prize to the winner, the largest single-day payoff in women's golf. Nelly Korda already has won more than that during her sterling season of seven wins. Now she faces an eight-shot deficit over the next three days at Tiburon Golf Club if she wants to end her year in fitting fashion. Korda, coming off a victory last week, couldn't make amends for her three bogeys and had to settle for an even-par 72. She has come from behind in four of her victories, and still has 54 holes ahead of her. But it has made the task that much tougher. Everything felt easy for An, a 28-year-old from South Korea who has never won on the LPGA and has never cracked the top 10 in any of the 16 majors she has played. “Today my putt really good,” An said. “The speed was good and the shape was good. I just try to focus a little bit more.” She had a one-shot lead over Angel Yin, who shot 30 on the back nine, including an eagle on the par-5 17th hole that most players can easily reach in two. Former U.S. Women's Open champion Allisen Corpuz and Marina Alex were at 66, with Lydia Ko leading the group at 67. Despite the wind so typical along the Gulf Coast of Florida, 27 players — nearly half the field — shot in the 60s. “It's a good head start for the big ol' prize we get at the end of the week,” Yin said. Whoever wins this week is assured of breaking the 17-year-old LPGA record for most money earned in season. The record was set by Lorena Ochoa in 2007 at $4,364,994, back when the total prize money was about half of what it is now. Ochoa earned $1 million for winning the Tour Championship in 2007. The opening round followed a big night of awards for the LPGA Tour, where Korda officially picked up her first award as player of the year, which she clinched earlier this month . Ko was recognized for her big year, highlighted by an Olympic gold medal that put her into the LPGA Hall of Fame. She regained plenty of focus for the opening round on a course where she won just two years ago. “The course isn't easy,” Ko said. “I set a goal of shooting 3 under today, and somebody shot 8 under. I was like, ‘OK, maybe I need to make a few more birdies.’ It's a course that can get away from you as much as you can shoot some low scores, so I’m just trying to stick to my game plan and go from there.” Also in the group at 67 was Albane Valenzuela of Switzerland, already celebrating a big year with her debut in the Solheim Cup and her first appearance in the Tour Championship. She made a late run at her first LPGA title last week at Pelican Golf Club, and kept up her form. And she can see the finish line, which is appealing. “I everyone is looking at that $4 million price tag,” Valenzuela said. “I try not to look too much at the result. I feel like in the past I’ve always been stuck on results, and ultimately all I can do is control my own round, my own energy, my own commitment. “It's the last week of the year. It’s kind of the bonus week. No matter what, everyone is having a paycheck.” AP golf: https://apnews.com/hub/golfAccess Bank Tackles VeryDarkMan, Says No N500m Missing From Customer’s Account

Carnatic music is somewhat of a late entrant to archiving. Beyond a few isolated instances, books and periodicals, audio, and video records are available in plenty but very poorly stored, imperfectly curated, and most often, inaccessible. In recent years, technology has come to the rescue and has enabled archiving in various ways. We have some repositories abroad such as the Harvard and Wesleyan Universities that have done this. In India, while digitising and uploading on public platforms do happen, several questions with regard to artistes’ rights and copyrights remain unresolved. This article deals with the experience of digitisation and archiving at The Music Academy in Chennai. Digitising a repository The Music Academy in its 97 years has also served as a repository. There are firstly its own publications. Secondly, the Academy has a truly enviable library dedicated to the arts, with over 6,000 books. Thirdly, there is the recorded archive, sadly not comprehensive, but still sizeable. In an effort to make all of this more easily accessible, the Music Academy has in the past three years or so, embarked on a digitisation initiative. Progress has been slow but steady, and hopefully, in the years to come there will be a substantial, well-curated collection online, though whether for a fee or for free remains a matter of debate. Academy publications The Academy’s print collection comprises books, newspaper clips and photographs. Its annual journals and souvenirs have been published from its inception. While the former is valued for its scholarly articles and detailed reporting of the proceedings of the Academy’s annual conferences, the latter is much sought after for its musician profiles, detailed song lists and historical content – by way of snippets on the Academy’s growth and also advertisements that serve as a record of the corporate, retail and entertainment world of the past. Both of these have suffered from repeated handling, by Academy staffers, researchers and during shifts of the library across the campus. To prevent any further damage, these have been entirely digitised and made available for download on the Music Academy’s website. Rare books in the library CHENNAI, TAMIL NADU, 26/11/2024 : Music Academy TAG Digital Archive in Chennai on Tuesday. Photo: R. Ravindran | Photo Credit: Ravindran_R The KR Sundaram Aiyar Memorial Library of the Music Academy has in its vast collection several rare books. These include the oldest surviving Carnatic music book -- the Sangita Sarvartha Sara Sangrahamu of Veena Ramanuja, dating to the mid-nineteenth century. There are also several first editions of the late 19th and 20th centuries. The Academy acquired the collection of books of Sangita Kalanidhis Embar Vijayaraghavachariar, Prof P. Sambamoorthy and Dwaram Venkataswami Naidu. The collection of Vinjamuri Varadaraja Iyengar was donated by his daughter Sandhya Vinjamuri Giri to the Academy. In recent times, more donations have come in. A digitisation exercise was embarked upon with the help of the Roja Muthiah Research Library and around 300 rare books were identified for it. These are now available for research in-house in electronic form, thereby preventing the necessity to touch/access the originals. Photograph archive Likewise, the photograph collection of the Music Academy has over 5,000 prints. These range from a single photograph of the 1927 conference to several of those in the 1980s. All of these have been digitised and labelled, with as many of the people present as possible being identified. The focus is now to retrieve photographs from the 1990s, which are in CD format and transfer them to cloud storage and catalogue them. The digitised photos are available on request for free in low resolution format and for a payment in high resolution. In the digitisation of books and photos, the Academy has benefited hugely from the assistance provided by its consulting librarian, Mysore K. Jagadish. Seeing what has been done by the Academy, families of some musicians and scholars have come forward to share their book collection as well as in some instances memorabilia. The Academy has now worked out an acquisition policy and accepts what is in conformance to its principles. Building a music archive The archiving of music has been more challenging. The Academy has been recording concerts and academic sessions held under its auspices since the 1950s -- sporadically in the initial years and regularly since the 1980s at least. Unfortunately, storage at the Academy was quite porous and over the years, many of its records were lost – some of them are now up on YouTube, uploaded by music lovers acknowledging that these are Academy performances! Serious work on archiving began in 2008 when R.T. Chari, industrialist and noted patron, and then committee member and later vice president at the Academy, underwrote the setting up of the Music Academy-TAG archive with a listening centre as well. He also donated his collection of music. With other collections including those of G. Narasimhan of The Hindu , music stored in spools, cassettes and CDs began to be digitised. As a matter of policy the Academy focuses on concerts and events held under its auspices and avoids collections comprising branded labels. A sizeable archive has also been built up in audio and video of Academy performances since 2005. These are not available in the public domain. Digitising performances Even as the digitisation progressed, it was overtaken by technology. YouTube and other platforms proliferated and as a result, footfalls at the listening centre dwindled. Focus shifted thereafter to cataloguing and preserving music, with curation of content. Many of the spools had no details of what they contained, and those that did had many errors. A team under musician and archivist Savita Narasimhan got on with the task. With inputs from scholars such as Ritha Rajan, R.S. Jayalakshmi, Sriram Parasuram and Kanakam Devaguptapu and technical inputs from a young team comprising Harini Rangan and Lakshman, as well as Academy staffers, the work on music is more or less complete, with attention now shifting to dance. Building a platform for listening It was during the process of digitisation that the Academy got valuable help from V. Suresh, a technical expert. A full platform was built especially for the Academy archive with Entermedia, an international communication media agency. While this did help, the inherent requirements of Carnatic music and classical dance when it came to classifying, exposed limitations, and it was decided that the Academy, with help from Suresh would be better off building its own platform. A pilot was presented in the annual conference of 2023 and since then work has rapidly progressed. The institution has not yet arrived at a conclusion on how its recordings can be shared with a larger public. There are questions of copyright, etc, which need resolution. Hopefully these should be ironed out before the collection is made accessible to all.

Syrian opposition fighters celebrate Sunday after the Syrian government collapsed in Damascus, Syria. Joyful crowds gathered in central squares in Damascus, waving the Syrian revolutionary flag in scenes that recalled the early days of the Arab Spring uprising, before a brutal crackdown and the rise of an insurgency plunged the country into a nearly 14-year civil war. Others gleefully ransacked the presidential palace and residence after President Bashar Assad and other top officials vanished, their whereabouts unknown. A man tries to take a lamp Sunday as people search for belongings in the ransacked private residence of Syrian President Bashar Assad in the Malkeh district of Damascus, Syria. Russia, a close ally, said Assad left the country after negotiations with rebel groups and gave instructions to transfer power peacefully. Abu Mohammed al-Golani , a former al-Qaida commander who cut ties with the group years ago and says he embraces pluralism and religious tolerance, leads the biggest rebel faction and is poised to chart the country's future. In his first public appearance since fighters entered the Damascus suburbs Saturday, al-Golani visited the capital’s sprawling Umayyad Mosque and said Assad's fall was “a victory to the Islamic nation.” Calling himself by his given name, Ahmad al-Sharaa, and not his nom de guerre, he told hundreds of people that Assad made Syria “a farm for Iran’s greed.” The rebels face the daunting task of healing bitter divisions in a country ravaged by war and still split among different armed factions. Turkey-backed opposition fighters are battling U.S.-allied Kurdish forces in the north, and the Islamic State group is still active in some remote areas. Syrian opposition fighters remove a government Syrian flag from an official building Saturday in Salamiyah, east of Hama, Syria. Syrian state television broadcast a video statement early Sunday by a group of rebels saying that Assad was overthrown and all prisoners were released. They called on people to preserve the institutions of “the free Syrian state.” The rebels later announced a curfew in Damascus from 4 p.m. to 5 a.m. The rebels said they freed people held at the notorious Saydnaya prison, where rights groups say thousands were tortured and killed . A video circulating online purported to show rebels breaking open cell doors and freeing dozens of female prisoners, many of whom appeared shocked and confused. At least one small child could be seen among them. Rebel commander Anas Salkhadi, who appeared on state TV later in the day, sought to reassure Syria's religious and ethnic minorities, saying: “Syria is for everyone, no exceptions. Syria is for Druze, Sunnis, Alawites, and all sects.” “We will not deal with people the way the Assad family did," he added. People gather Sunday in Manbij, Syria, to celebrate the fall of the Syrian government. Celebrations in the capital Residents of Damascus gathered to pray at mosques and to celebrate in squares, chanting, “God is great.” People also chanted anti-Assad slogans and honked car horns. Teenage boys picked up weapons apparently discarded by security forces and fired into the air. Revelers filled central Umayyad Square, where the Defense Ministry is located. Men fired celebratory gunshots and some waved the three-starred Syrian flag that predates the Assad government and was adopted by the revolutionaries. “I cannot express my happiness," said Bassam Masr. “But this happiness will not be completed until I can see my son out of prison and know where is he. I have been searching for him for two hours. He has been detained for 13 years.” Soldiers and police left their posts and fled, and looters broke into the Defense Ministry. Videos showed families wandering into the presidential palace, with some emerging carrying stacks of plates and other household items. “Victory to Syria. Syria remains and Assad to hell, to the dustbin of history,” said a man exploring the palace. A man walks by a broken portrait of the late Syrian President Hafez Assad as people search for belongings Sunday in the ransacked private residence of Syrian President Bashar Assad in the Malkeh district of Damascus, Syria. Syria’s al-Watan newspaper, which was historically pro-government, wrote: “We are facing a new page for Syria. We thank God for not shedding more blood. We believe and trust that Syria will be for all Syrians.” The newspaper added that media workers should not be blamed for publishing past government statements, saying: “We only carried out the instructions and published the news they sent us.” A statement from the Alawite sect — to which Assad belongs and which formed the core of his base — called on young Syrians to be “calm, rational and prudent and not to be dragged into what tears apart the unity of our country.” The rebels mainly come from the Sunni Muslim majority in Syria, which also has sizable Druze, Christian and Kurdish communities. In Qamishli in the northeast, a Kurdish man slapped a statue of the late leader Hafez Assad with his shoe. An opposition fighter steps on a broken bust of the late Syrian President Hafez Assad on Sunday in Damascus, Syria. Assad reportedly in Russia Syrian Prime Minister Mohammed Ghazi Jalali said in a video statement that the government was ready to “extend its hand” to the opposition and turn its functions over to a transitional government. A video shared on Syrian opposition media showed a group of armed men escorting him out of his office and to the Four Seasons hotel Sunday. Syrian President Bashar Assad listens May 19, 2023, during the Arab summit in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Rami Abdurrahman of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights told The Associated Press that Assad took a flight Sunday from Damascus. Russian state news agencies reported that Assad arrived in Moscow with his family and was given asylum. The agencies, Tass and RIA, cited an unidentified Kremlin source. The Associated Press was not immediately able to verify the reports but has contacted the Kremlin for comment. A senior diplomat from the United Arab Emirates, which sought to rehabilitate Assad's image and welcomed high-profile exiles in recent years, declined to comment on his whereabouts when asked by reporters at a conference in Bahrain. Anwar Gargash said Assad's destination at this point is a “footnote in history,” comparing it to the long exile of German Kaiser Wilhelm II after World War I. Assad was accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity during the war, including a 2013 chemical weapons attack on the outskirts of the capital. Opposition fighters burn down a military court Sunday in Damascus, Syria. Calls for an orderly transition The rebel advances since Nov. 27 were the largest in recent years, and saw the cities of Aleppo, Hama and Homs fall in a matter of days as the Syrian army melted away. Russia, Iran and Lebanon's Hezbollah militant group, which provided crucial support to Assad throughout the uprising, abandoned him in the final days as they reeled from other conflicts. The end of Assad’s rule deals a major blow to Iran and its allies, already weakened by over a year of conflict with Israel . Iran, which had strongly backed Assad throughout the civil war, said Syrians should decide their future “without destructive, coercive, foreign intervention.” The Iranian Embassy in Damascus was ransacked after apparently having been abandoned. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meanwhile said Israeli troops had temporarily seized a buffer zone in the Golan Heights established in 1974, saying the move was taken to protect Israeli residents after Syrian troops abandoned their positions. Israel captured the Golan in the 1967 Mideast war and later annexed it. The international community, except for the United States, views it as occupied. Israeli soldiers walk Sunday near armored vehicles parked along the so-called Alpha Line that separates the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights from Syria. The rebels are led by the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group, or HTS , which has its origins in al-Qaida and is considered a terrorist organization by the United States and the United Nations. Its head, al-Golani, has sought to recast the group as a moderate and tolerant force. HTS set up a “salvation government” in 2017 to administer a large region in northwestern Syria under its control. “Golani has made history and sparked hope among millions of Syrians," said Dareen Khalifa, a senior adviser with the International Crisis Group and an expert on Syrian groups. "But he and the rebels now face a formidable challenge ahead. One can only hope they rise to the occasion.” People gather Sunday in Manbij, Syria, to celebrate the fall of the Syrian government. The U.N.’s special envoy for Syria, Geir Pedersen, called Saturday for urgent talks in Geneva to ensure an “orderly political transition.” The Gulf nation of Qatar, a key regional mediator, hosted an emergency meeting of foreign ministers and top officials from eight countries with interests in Syria late Saturday. The participants included Iran, Saudi Arabia, Russia and Turkey. Majed al-Ansari, Qatar’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, said they agreed on the need “to engage all parties on the ground," including the HTS, and that the main concern is “stability and safe transition.” Sewell reported from Beirut.
