mega seven Jimmy Carter: Many evolutions for a centenarian ‘citizen of the world’( MENAFN - UkrinForm) In field conditions, soldiers of the 24th Separate Mechanized Brigade named after King Danylo upgrade ordinary drones from volunteers turning them into lethal weapons against the enemy. This was reported to Ukrinform by the press service of the Ukrainian Ground Forces. It is noted that a unique workshop has been set up near the combat zone. Drones from volunteers that reach the hands of experienced technicians undergo deep modernization, system upgrades, and are equipped with deadly payloads. Special attention is given to FPV drones, which become true "flying swords" in the hands of our defenders. At nearby training grounds, operators practice complex tactical tasks. They improve their skills to maximize the effectiveness of drones for reconnaissance, artillery fire adjustment, and direct strikes on enemy targets. The Ground Forces emphasized that every drone flight is a step toward our shared victory. As reported by Ukrinform, the Ukrainian Ground Forces are undergoing fundamental changes in recruitment, military training, advanced technologies, battle management, digitization of processes, transformation of leadership, logistics, and social support for service members.

Decisive votes against extending President Joe Biden’s nominee to the National Labor Relations Board by two outgoing independent senators provoked an immediate stream of reaction Wednesday from political observers across social media. The internet began to chime in after it became clear that Sen. Joe Manchin (I-WV) and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) effectively cost Democrats control of the labor board through 2026 with their “no” votes. “Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema just delivered a crushing blow to the labor agenda,” Democratic strategist Chris Jackson wrote in a social media post . “Their votes effectively hand Donald Trump the keys to the board the moment he takes office again. This is a betrayal of working families — and a gift to corporate interests, which is par for the course for these two.” X user Alex Guiden, a Media Matters analyst, shared a similar opinion. ALSO READ: Agenda 47: Alarm sounded about Trump’s dystopian plans for his second term “Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema just voted against Biden’s #NLRB nominee, blocking Democrats from securing control of the labor board through 2026," he wrote . "Their betrayal hands Trump control of the NLRB at the expense of working people. They should be ashamed." “If you want to know why Democrats have lost ground with unions and lost the working class look no further than Democrats like Manchin and Sinema,” Jared Schablein added to his followers . But while many Democrats seethed over the latest uproar stirred up by the two Democratic-turned-independent senators who have remained a thorn in the side of their former party, Republicans weren’t nearly as distraught. “Great news!! Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema blocked Democrat activist Lauren McFerran’s re-nomination to the National Labor Relations Board,” far-right activist Charlie Kirk wrote to his followers on X . “Trump and the Republican controlled Senate will now be able to confirm two nominees to the board, giving them a one-seat advantage.” Kirk added that the NLRB “is massively important as it settles disputes between big business and labor unions.” Greg Price, a Trump 2024 deputy rapid response director, also noted that Democrats would have controlled the NLRB if the two senators had voted for Biden's nominee. He added to his social media followers : “Now Donald Trump will appoint her replacement.” “Good,” said X user Jennifer Grady, who while critical of both Manchin and Sinema, also criticized the Democratic Party in her post. “People need to feel it. Talking is not working.”

Rarely does a college basketball game provide such stark contrast between the sport's haves and have-nots as when Jackson State faces No. 9 Kentucky on Friday in Lexington, Ky. While Kentucky claims eight NCAA Tournament crowns and the most wins in college basketball history, Jackson State has never won an NCAA Tournament game and enters the matchup looking for its first win of the season. Impressive tradition and current record aside, Kentucky (4-0) returned no scholarship players from last season's team that was knocked off by Oakland in the NCAA Tournament. New coach Mark Pope and his essentially all-new Wildcats are off to a promising start. Through four games, Kentucky is averaging 94.3 points per game, and with 11.5 3-pointers made per game, the team is on pace to set a school record from long distance. The Wildcats boast six double-figure scorers with transfer guards Otega Oweh (from Oklahoma, 15.0 ppg) and Koby Brea (from Dayton, 14.5 ppg) leading the team. The Wildcats defeated Duke 77-72 on Nov. 12 but showed few signs of an emotional letdown in Tuesday's 97-68 win over a Lipscomb team picked to win the Atlantic Sun Conference in the preseason. Kentucky drained a dozen 3-pointers while outrebounding their visitors 43-28. Guard Jaxson Robinson, held to a single point by Duke, dropped 20 points to lead the Kentucky attack. Afterward, Pope praised his team's focus, saying, "The last game was over and it was kind of on to, ‘How do we get better?' That's the only thing we talk about." Lipscomb coach Lennie Acuff also delivered a ringing endorsement, calling Kentucky "the best offensive Power Four team we've played in my six years at Lipscomb." Jackson State (0-5) and third-year coach Mo Williams are looking for something positive to build upon. Not only are the Tigers winless, but they have lost each game by nine or more points. Sophomore guard Jayme Mitchell Jr. (13.8 ppg) is the leading scorer, but the team shoots just 35.8 percent while allowing opponents to shoot 52.3 percent. The Tigers played on Wednesday at Western Kentucky, where they lost 79-62. Reserve Tamarion Hoover had a breakout game with 18 points to lead Jackson State, but the host Hilltoppers canned 14 3-point shots and outrebounded the Tigers 42-35 to grab the win. Earlier, Williams, who played against Kentucky while a student at Alabama, admitted the difficulties of a challenging nonconference schedule for his team. "Our goal is not to win 13 nonconference games," Williams said. "We're already at a disadvantage in that regard. We use these games to get us ready for conference play and for March Madness." Jackson State has not made the NCAA Tournament since 2007. The Tigers had a perfect regular-season record (11-0) in the Southwestern Athletic Conference in 2020-21 but lost in the league tournament. Kentucky has never played Jackson State before, but the game is being billed as part of a Unity Series of matchups in which Kentucky hosts members of the SWAC to raise awareness of Historical Black Colleges and Universities and provide funds for those schools. Past Unity Series opponents have been Southern in December 2021 and Florida A&M in December 2022. --Field Level MediaElias Cato scores 23 as Central Arkansas tops UNC Asheville 92-83 in double OTCollaboration, innovation, PPP key to achieve 2047 goals: Jitendra Singh

Carolina Panthers tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders was taken to a hospital for a neck injury after landing on his head while making a catch late in the first half of Sunday's 30-27 home loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. As Sanders was brought down near the sideline after a 10-yard reception, he was flipped upside down and landed directly on the top of his helmet as he went out of bounds on the tackle by cornerback Trent McDuffie. After receiving attention from the team's medical staff, Sanders was strapped to a backboard and taken off the field on a cart with 40 seconds remaining in the half. He was taken to Atrium Health Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte for observation and later released Sunday afternoon, according to the team. On the CBS broadcast following halftime, Panthers head coach Dave Canales said Sanders had movement in all his extremities, while extreme precaution was taken because of back tightness. CBS reported he was being examined for a concussion before later amending that to a neck injury. The 21-year-old rookie out of Texas had a team-leading three receptions for the Panthers at the half for 49 yards. In 11 games this season, Sanders has 29 receptions for 302 yards and a touchdown. Sanders was a fourth-round selection in the NFL draft in April. --Field Level Media"I am the happiest person today, more than you or your family, as our painstaking efforts to convince you to surrender and join the mainstream has bore fruit," Union Home Minister Amit Shah told a group of former Naxals on Sunday. The event here, attended by about 30 surrendered Naxals and insurgents belonging to six states -- Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Maharashtra, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Assam -- may be small but is very significant, Shah said. "I am getting immense satisfaction that the country's youngsters are responding to our appeal, realising the futility of violence and surrendering," he said. Shah said when Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave him responsibility of the home ministry in 2019, he thought that those who were involved in armed movements should be given a chance to lay down their arms, surrender and live a peaceful life. "Following our initiatives, 20 peace accords were signed in the northeast and 9,000 militants surrendered," he said. The Centre has formulated rehabilitation policies for surrendered militants and Naxals, including those injured in violence, the home minister said.

"You all should pass on the message to your former colleagues that violence is not the way forward. All Naxals should come forward and surrender. The government will take care of their needs," he said. He also told the surrendered militants to send a simple post card to the Union home secretary and their problems would be taken care of. The home minister said the government was preparing to host the Olympic Games in Ahmedabad in 2036 and, in the run-up to it beginning 2025, about 35,000 youngsters would be trained so that India might win as many medals as possible. "I want someone from Bastar to win at least one medal in the 2036 Olympics," he said. While interacting with Shah, the surrendered Naxals conveyed how they were benefitting from various government schemes, including jobs in the police and the private sector, and bank loans for starting their own ventures.
