As the conflict enters a critical phase and the stakes continue to rise, the focus must shift from external enemies to internal cohesion. Only by addressing the underlying sources of potential conflict and working towards unity and solidarity can the anti-government armed groups hope to achieve their ultimate goal of bringing about political change.Zelensky's rejection of Trump's proposal can be attributed to a number of factors. Firstly, the Ukrainian president is wary of perceived attempts by the United States to dictate the terms of any potential peace deal. Zelensky has consistently emphasized Ukraine's sovereignty and the need for a negotiated settlement that takes into account the interests and concerns of all parties involved in the conflict.Report: Chargers expect WR Ladd McConkey, LB Khalil Mack to play vs. Ravens
EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she doesn’t believe she’ll need to invoke the Charter's notwithstanding clause to shield her government's three transgender bills from legal challenges. The bills passed third and final reading in the legislature this week and are set to become law. Two LGBTQ+ advocate organizations — Egale Canada and Skipping Stone Foundation — say they plan to file a legal challenge. It's anticipated the challenge will be on grounds the bills violate Charter rights, including equality rights. "I don’t want to prejudge the court," Smith told reporters at an unrelated news conference Wednesday when asked if she would use the notwithstanding clause. "We will put forward a robust case — that this (legislation) is reasonable in a free, democratic society, that it's evidence based, and that we're protecting children and their right to be able to make adult decisions as adults." One bill would require children under 16 to have parental consent if they want to change their names or pronouns at school. A similar law governs school policy in Saskatchewan, where the government invoked the notwithstanding clause last year, a measure that allows governments to override certain Charter rights for up to five years. The Alberta bills go further, encompassing a range of topics from sex education to transgender surgery and sports. One bill compels parents to opt-in for their children to receive lessons in school on sexuality, sexual orientation and gender identity. Outside resources or presentations would also need to be pre-approved by the Education ministry, unless they're part of a religious school program. Physicians would be banned from offering gender-affirming treatment, such as puberty blockers and hormone therapy, for those under 16. There would be a prohibition on gender-affirming "top" surgeries for minors. Transgender athletes would no longer be allowed to compete in female amateur sports, and sports organizations would be required to report eligibility complaints to the government. Bennett Jensen, Egale’s legal director, said the bills and the months of debate that preceded them have already hurt transgender children and athletes. Jensen said when political leaders discriminate against one segment of the population, it communicates that there is something wrong with that identity. “The consequences of having your identity debated in the public sphere for months is devastating,” Jensen said in an interview. "Anxiety is way up, depression is way up, bullying is way up, and this is without anything (legal) being in effect.” Jensen also took issue with Smith’s assertion that banning puberty blockers prevents children from making irreversible life decisions. "Puberty blockers do exactly what she is claiming to be wanting to protect for young people, which is afford them time and prevent irreversible changes," he said. The Canadian Civil Liberties Association said it may seek to be an intervener in the legal challenge. “This is a dark time for freedom in Alberta,” Harini Sivalingam, director of the association’s equality program, said in a statement. “The passage of these intrusive laws will severely erode the liberty of individuals and families to make deeply personal decisions about their lives.” NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi said he expects some of the United Conservative Party government's legislation will be deemed unconstitutional by the courts and wondered why Smith believes her bill is different. “(Saskatchewan Premier) Scott Moe knew it was unconstitutional and used the notwithstanding clause pre-emptively,” Nenshi told reporters.

YOURSAY | ‘Selective mutism only benefits the strong elites.’ Journalists march to Parliament to protest proposed PPPA changes Malaysiakini goes black and white for media freedom Vijay47: Going black and white may be only a symbolic protest. Nevertheless, it is a protest that has to be made, considering the kind of government Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has unleashed on us. There was an earlier report on Malaysiakini where Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail informed us that his ministry “has deferred plans to table proposed amendments to the Printing Presses and Publications Act 1984 pending consultations with all stakeholders”. Promising as this might seem to be, there are two conclusions to be drawn and kept in mind. The proposed amendments have only been deferred, they have not been dropped. Secondly, we are aware that the Madani government simply cannot be trusted, not with its record of failing to honour any of its many pledges even from day one. Fresh amendments will likely befall us, one made tighter and more formidable. Go ahead with the black and white protest, Malaysiakini and the others, for as long as Anwar’s record is red. Cogito Ergo Sum: This move is to target Malaysiakini in particular and other online media. MPs must vote with their conscience and not along party lines on these amendments. Will the DAP sign this death knell for freedom of the press? If they do, they are signing their very existence away. They will be deconstructed worse than Umno in the next general election. These amendments have Umno’s fingerprints all over the place. It is not without reason that the people strongly suspect that Umno, with the least number of MPs, is the puppet master pulling Anwar and the cabinet’s strings. How did the people, who rejected Umno, end up with that party still wrecking and ruining Malaysia? If these amendments are passed, it means no more investigative journalism and exposés of corruption. Libra: This is going to be difficult for you Malaysiakini . If you want the truth to be told, say it loudly without fear. In this age of misinformation and disinformation, even leaders of other countries are known to practise stifling free speech. What else can the public do? The media has the solemn duty to perform the right thing. Outlier: Shame on PKR and DAP, who were supposed to bring about positive media reform. This reform is nothing but a legalised Act to muzzle, harass, intimidate and prosecute free speech. I am all for clamping down on misinformation and fake news, particularly those about race and religious sensitivities, but this Act is too broad and all-encompassing. When Pakatan Harapan becomes the likely opposition again after the next general election, let’s see how they feel when this Act is used against them. UB40: This Madani government is the same as the former BN government. Anwar, you have betrayed the trust that you want to make reforms but regret not doing anything, instead enhancing these Acts to be more stringent. DAP, why are your MPs silent? Before becoming part of the Harapan government, DAP advocated truth and justice and wanted to repeal all the draconian laws. However once they became part of the government, all this rhetoric was muted. MS: That the Madani regime, which came to power on the backs of truth-telling media organisations like Malaysiakini , has stooped this low to do what neither former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad nor Muhyiddin Yassin even contemplated doing, should surprise no one. The move mirrors the mindset of Anwar, who has long specialised in the oily art of deception and betrayal. From the very outset, in 1998, it has always been about him. Keadilan was for him and him alone. What is right today is what is good for him. If it is good for him, it must be good for everyone else. In any case, while his ill-deserved "reformist" reputation lies in tatters, the collateral damage to the DAP will be such that both Umno and PAS will forever be grateful to PKR for doing what they only dreamed of doing - diminishing if not annihilating it from the face of local politics. Very concerned citizen: We believed in Anwar and voted him into power in the last general election. He made us all believe that he would reform many things in this country. We were taken for fools because we believed him. Look where he is taking us now. As they say, “A leopard will not change the colour of his skin”. So we are looking at his Muslim Youth Movement (Abim) days now. DAP, the party who promised us so much, is now putting its tail between its legs. Shame on you DAP! Former DAP leaders Lim Kit Siang or the late Karpal Singh would never commit such a betrayal. So who do we have to vote for in the next general election who will not betray us? Prominority: Press freedom makes people aware of many wrongdoings in the country. This land is mine: We do not have a free country if there is no media freedom. Selective mutism only benefits the strong elites. It is like a house where there is so much restriction to talk, the members of the household are like walking corpses.

Julia Bradbury said she has become more focused on her health than she has ever been after “death looked her in the eyes”. The 54-year-old TV presenter revealed in 2021 that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and later underwent a mastectomy during which her breast plus two lymph glands were removed before reconstruction took place. Bradbury has since stopped drinking alcohol and has changed the priorities in her life, but revealed she has received some pushback on social media from sharing her approach. She told The Times Weekend magazine: “I wasn’t close to death, but death looked me in the eyes. So I am more focused on my health than I ever have been. “I don’t drink, I eat a healthy diet and exercise every day. “When I came home from my mastectomy, I promised I would spend time outside every day, and that is my mantra, however poor it might be in this shitty winter.” Bradbury, who has since been given the all-clear, said a doctor recently helped her reframe how she utilises her energy. She recalled: “He said, ‘This drive that you have – you’re running on a credit card. You can push through all sorts of things. But is that the best thing for you?’. “I realised you don’t have to win every race. You don’t have to overcome everything. I don’t want to max out the credit card.” The presenter previously discussed her experience in an ITV documentary, Julia Bradbury: Breast Cancer And Me, which followed her as she came to terms with her diagnosis and prepared to undergo her single mastectomy. She also regularly shares her wellness and fitness tips with her more than 270,000 Instagram followers. However, she revealed she has had pushback from people saying, “I was healthy, I go to the gym, I got cancer, and now its metastasised and I’ve got secondary cancer. So are you blaming me for my illness?”. Responding to the accusations, she added: “No. All I’m saying is, this is what I went through. It was a wake-up call, and it made me look at life differently. “It made me prioritise my sleep, emotional health, and give more time to my loved ones. “If I drink more than four units of alcohol a week, my risk of reoccurrence goes up by 28%. But people find me giving up drinking infuriating.” Bradbury, who has a 13-year-old son Zephyr, and nine-year-old twins Xanthe and Zena, said having children later in life has caused her to not be as “patient” as she feels she should be at times after becoming more set in her own ways. “ People think that after you’ve got a cancer diagnosis, you become this beautiful angel with a halo, and a super mum and do everything right”, she added. “But no, you make the same mistakes. I lose my temper, and I can hear myself saying things that I can’t believe I’m saying. “ None of us know what we’re doing, really. We’re just doing our best. I know they do have lots of love. They are told that they’re loved every day.”Thanksgiving Travel Latest: Airport strike, staff shortages and weather could impact holiday travel
Players must be assigned female at birth or have transitioned to female before going through male puberty to compete in LPGA tournaments or the eight USGA championships for females under new gender policies published Wednesday. The policies, which begin in 2025, follow more than a year of study involving medicine, science, sport physiology and gender policy law. The updated policies would rule out eligibility for Hailey Davidson, who missed qualifying for the U.S. Women's Open this year by one shot and came up short in LPGA Q-school. Davidson, who turned 32 on Tuesday, began hormone treatments when she was in her early 20s in 2015 and in 2021 underwent gender-affirming surgery, which was required under the LPGA's previous gender policy. She had won this year on a Florida mini-tour called NXXT Golf until the circuit announced in March that players had to be assigned female at birth. “Can't say I didn't see this coming,” Davidson wrote Wednesday on an Instagram story. “Banned from the Epson and the LPGA. All the silence and people wanting to stay ‘neutral’ thanks for absolutely nothing. This happened because of all your silence.” LPGA commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan, who is resigning in January, said the new gender policy "is reflective of an extensive, science-based and inclusive approach." By making it to the second stage of Q-school, Davidson would have had very limited status on the Epson Tour, the pathway to the LPGA. The LPGA and USGA say their policies were geared toward being inclusive of gender identities and expression while striving for equity in competition. The LPGA said its working group of experts advised that the effects of male puberty allowed for competitive advantages in golf compared with players who had not gone through puberty. “Our policy is reflective of an extensive, science-based and inclusive approach,” said LPGA Commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan, who announced Monday that she is resigning in January. "The policy represents our continued commitment to ensuring that all feel welcome within our organization, while preserving the fairness and competitive equity of our elite competitions.” Mike Whan, the former LPGA commissioner and now CEO of the USGA, said it developed the updated policy independently and later discovered it was similar to those used by swimming, track and field, and other sports. United States Golf Association CEO Mike Whan said the new policy will prevent anyone from having "a competitive advantage based on their gender." “It starts with competitive fairness as the North star,” Whan said in a telephone interview. “We tried not to get into politics, or state by state or any of that stuff. We just simply said, ‘Where would somebody — at least medically today — where do we believe somebody would have a competitive advantage in the field?’ And we needed to draw a line. “We needed to be able to walk into any women's event and say with confidence that nobody here has a competitive advantage based on their gender. And this policy delivers that.” The “Competitive Fairness Gender Policy” for the USGA takes effect for the 2025 championship season that starts with the U.S. Women's Amateur Four-Ball on May 10-14. Qualifying began late this year, though there were no transgender players who took part. “Will that change in the years to come as medicine changes? Probably,” Whan said. “But I think today this stacks up.” The LPGA “Gender Policy for Competition Eligibility” would apply to the LPGA Tour, Epson Tour, Ladies European Tour and qualifying for the tours. Players assigned male at birth must prove they have not experienced any part of puberty beyond the first stage or after age 12, whichever comes first, and then meet limitation standards for testosterone levels. The LPGA begins its 75th season on Jan. 30 with the Tournament of Champions in Orlando, Florida.

Global Adult Stem Cell Assay Market Forecast: Key Growth Drivers, Trends, and Opportunities from 2024 to 2033Smoke’N Ash BBQ — the Arlington restaurant touted as the first Tex-Ethiopian smokehouse — has been “on fire” for several years, and in all the right ways, its owners say. The latest ember on the coals: recognition by the Michelin Guide as one of the state’s best restaurants. Fasicka and Patrick Hicks have seen images of what they perceived as Michelin-quality food — the sort of multicourse, small-plate fine dining the international guide is known for favoring. Get Arlington news that matters. Sign up for local stories in your inbox every Thursday. “It was on these little tiny plates,” Fasicka Hicks said. “It’s just such amazing-looking food. We have Texas-size everything. We try to make it look as good as possible before we plate it.” Smoke’N Ash, which the couple opened in 2018 after a few years of operating in a food truck, fuses Patrick Hicks’ expertise with hickory-smoked meats with the Ethiopian spices mixed up by his wife, who grew up in the African country. The food had already caught the attention of food writers before the November Michelin announcement, earning write-ups in The New York Times , The Economist , which called the restaurant “the world’s first Tex-Ethiopian smokehouse,” and Texas Monthly, which called the food “must-try cuisine” in 2021. Business took off after the Texas Monthly story, the couple said. “That was it,” Fasicka Hicks, 50, said. “We’ve been on fire since then.” The Michelin announcement has given sales a boost, most recognizably from out-of-towners sometimes on layover from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, the couple said. “It’s more diverse,” Fasicka Hicks said. “They come in with their backpacks and they just came in from the airport maybe. They want to be adventurous, and they want something new.” Orders for shipment nationally and into Canada via gourmet food delivery service Goldbelly have spiked, the couple said. Other restaurateurs have come in, asking the couple for advice — and even going so far as to ask whether the restaurant paid Michelin to take notice. Note: The state tourism agency paid Michelin $450,000; and each of the state’s five largest cities, including Fort Worth, is paying $90,000 apiece annually to have Michelin scout Texas restaurants over three years. The agreement is typical across the country. Four Tarrant County restaurants were among the 117 that Michelin recognized in Texas’ first year of the program. Smoke’N Ash’s customers can try everything from the Tex-Ethiopian barbecue — meats flavored with an Ethiopian spice blend called awaze — to vegetarian Ethiopian dishes. The perfect plate? Try the lamb sausage, Texas brisket, pork ribs, potato salad and collard greens, the couple says. One of the most popular sellers: pork ribs, smoked with rosemary and cardamom. “It’s a crazy good combination,” Fasicka Hicks says. “It was meant to be together. It’s not the most expensive thing on the menu, but it’s the most tasty.” Getting a table in the 100-seat restaurant at 5904 S. Cooper St. is not generally difficult. But lines on weekends run out the front door. Then it’s “take a number,” Fasicka Hicks said. All of this is a far cry from the days Patrick Hicks, a longtime employee for Siemens in Arlington, smoked meats for fun along with his wife and two children in the backyard of their home. Fasicka Hicks worked in human resources. They shared smoked foods with colleagues in their respective break rooms — “the break room smelled so good,” Fasicka Hicks says — and a catering business was soon born. Then the couple paid $1,000 for a larger smoker. “It was not even a month before we got our money back,” Fasicka Hicks says. A food truck followed. In 2018, the couple took a leap, borrowing from their 401(k)s to open a 30-seat restaurant. Both went to work full time in the restaurant. “We took a big risk,” Patrick Hicks, 58, says. Numerous milestones followed. They added Goldbelly shipping in 2021. In September 2023, they moved to the larger restaurant they occupy now with 14 employees. Fasicka Hicks is working on two cookbooks, the first is to be published in spring 2026. The couple is considering opening a second restaurant in mid-2025, in the Plano area, to be closer to an estimated 50,000 Ethiopians who live in North Texas. “We get a lot of traffic from that area,” Patrick Hicks says. The couple is working on ensuring service and food are consistently good — hallmarks of Michelin-recognized restaurants. “We’re looking at the quality of the product and the staff training and the presentation,” Patrick Hicks says. “Being consistent is the main thing. I may miss it sometimes, but you’ve got to stay on the straight line.” Scott Nishimura is a senior editor for the Documenters program at the Fort Worth Report.
