AI-created antisemitic deepfakes are being created that cannot be detected by software, according to a report. Researchers found deepfake antisemitic images on the web, with 50 per cent depicting Jews as evil. The images also portrayed them using other stereotypes such as being greedy, warmongering, and blaming them for 9/11. Other deepfakes hide hate symbols within seemingly innocent images. While there is software to detect deepfakes, no AI models have been trained to detect antisemitism — making it hard to pick up. The report, titled Detecting Deepfakes by the Antisemitism Policy Trust and Project Decoding Antisemitism, concluded that “AI-generated antisemitism is on the rise, with potential significant implications for the Jewish community”.

Kylie Kelce claims she curses in front of her children ‘daily’ — what do experts say about that?It’s been a long road back to the highest levels of motorsport for Canadian driver Robert Wickens. Six years after he was paralyzed in a violent wreck, Wickens will again be behind the wheel against some of the best drivers in North America. Wickens, from Guelph, Ont., was named the newest driver for DXDT Racing earlier this week, moving the 35-year-old up to IMSA GTD competition for 2025, the highest class on the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship series. His promotion was made possible by a new hand control braking system created by Bosch Electronics, with help from GM Motorsports and Corvette Racing/Pratt Miller. “It’s not going to be easy but I wanted to get to the highest levels of motorsport again because, frankly, that’s where I was when I was injured,” said Wickens, who crashed at Pocono Raceway in 2018 during IndyCar’s ABC Supply 500. “But not only that, I want to prove to myself and other generations of people with disabilities that you can really do anything. “Maybe you’re having a hard time getting back to your place of work after a life-altering accident and — whatever your discipline, it doesn’t even have to be athletics — but I know it’s possible as long as you align yourself with a strong support system.” For Wickens, that’s been his wife Karli Wickens, his family and, in his professional life, organizations like Bosch and GM. Wickens’s crash left him with a thoracic spinal fracture, a neck fracture, tibia and fibula fractures to both legs, fractures in both hands, a fractured right forearm, a fractured elbow, four fractured ribs, a pulmonary contusion, and an indeterminate spinal injury that combined to make him a paraplegic. As he has slowly recovered some movement in his legs, Wickens has eased back into motor racing. He drove the parade lap of the 2019 Honda Indy Toronto, competed in the IndyCar iRacing Challenge during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, and then in January 2022 it was announced he would drive in the Michelin Pilot Challenge for Bryan Herta Autosport. He and co-driver Mark Wilkins won twice in the Michelin Pilot Challenge’s TCR category with three podiums in 2022. In 2023 the pairing didn’t win, but they reached the podium seven times to earn the TCR championship. All of Wickens’s post-accident cars have been fitted with hand controls. Those conventional systems rely on paddles around the steering wheel that activate pneumatics that then press the foot pedals. Hand controls like that are acceptable for regular road vehicles and even lower levels of motorsports but in the highest classes, like IMSA GTD where cars top out at more than 280 kilometres, the lag between the driver toggling the paddle and the car responding is unacceptably slow. That’s where the Bosch electronic system comes in, with the controls linked directly to the car’s braking system, removing the pneumatics as an intermediary. “When you hit the brakes to slow the car down for each corner that was always a big challenge for me where (with) the Bosch electronic system, the latency is milliseconds not tenths of a second,” said Wickens. “It’s basically as accurate as I would be if I was an able-bodied driver wanting to apply the brake. “Honestly, it’s just better in every facet imaginable. It’s just been a true blessing.” Advances in physical rehabilitation from spinal cord injuries as well as the ongoing development of vehicle technology has made Wickens’s return to competitive motorsport possible. “I’m very fortunate in the timing of my paralysis and my career,” Wickens said Wednesday from Tampa, Fla. “If this was even a decade ago we’d be having a very different conversation today.” The IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship has four classes of vehicles: two sports prototype categories and two grand tourer classes. GTD is considered the highest of the four classes because each team must have at least a silver or bronze driver and more than one platinum-rated driver on a team is prohibited. “I want to win,” said Wickens. “I think the big thing for me on this journey back was I wanted to race again because I truly felt like I could still win. “I want to raise awareness for spinal cord injury and disability, not by just being a participant, but by being the guy. I want to win races, fight for podiums, win championships, every time I’m sitting in the car.” Wickens said he won’t just be a role model for people living with paralysis or other mobility disabilities, but the technology his car will employ in 2025 will likely become commercially available for use in road vehicles. “Motorsports and the automotive racing industry were founded to be a proving ground for everyday automotive vehicles,” he said. “From there you make road cars and road safety better. “Hopefully we can provide the technology and have regularly available components that can make any race car accessible for anyone that needs hand controls or any other form of disability.” This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 27, 2024.

KABUL: Top Russian security official Sergei Shoigu visited Afghan government officials on Monday, assuring them Moscow will soon remove the Taliban from its list of banned organizations, Kabul said. Since the Taliban surged back to power in 2021 visits by foreign officials have been infrequent because no nation has yet formally recognized the government of the former insurgent group. Taliban government curbs on women have made them pariahs in many Western nations but Kabul is making increasing diplomatic overtures to its regional neighbors, emphasising economic and security cooperation. Shoigu, the secretary of Russia’s Security Council, met an Afghan cohort in Kabul headed by Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs Abdul Ghani Baradar. He “expressed Russia’s interest in increasing the level of bilateral cooperation with Afghanistan,” Baradar’s office said in a statement released on social media site X. “He also announced that, to expand political and economic relations between the two countries, the Islamic Emirate’s name would soon be removed from Russia’s blacklist.” The Islamic Emirate is the name the Taliban government uses to refer to itself. Russian news agencies quoted Shoigu as saying he wanted “constructive” ties with Kabul, without saying if he had floated Moscow removing the Taliban from its list of banned groups. “I confirm the readiness to build a constructive political dialogue between our countries, including in order to give momentum to the process of the internal Afghan settlement,” Shoigu said, according to the RIA Novosti news agency. He also said Russian companies plan to take part in projects in Afghanistan on extracting natural resources. Analysts say Moscow may be eying cooperation with Kabul to counter the threat from Islamic State Khorasan (IS-K) — the Afghan-based branch of the Sunni militant group. In March, more than 140 people were killed when IS-K gunmen attacked a Moscow concert hall. Taliban authorities have repeatedly said security is their top domestic priority and have pledged militants staging foreign attacks will be ousted from Afghanistan. “The Taliban certainly are our allies in the fight against terrorism,” Russia’s ambassador to Afghanistan, Dmitry Zhirnov, said in July. “They are working to eradicate terrorist cells.”Davis scores 15, Southern Illinois knocks off Florida Tech 81-54

JOHN Swinney was dubbed “dishonest” for refusing to accept the “unacceptable” state of Scotland’s NHS — as a report showed it has slumped drastically compared to England’s.

But the First Minister insisted our NHS was, in fact, “seeing more patients”. And he pointed out the “challenge” of Scotland having more sick people compared to the rest of the UK . Mr Swinney said: “That’s an underlying, long-standing issue we have to overcome, which is why we have such an emphasis on the public health message.” When it was put to him that England ’s NHS is recovering faster, the SNP supremo said: “There are more procedures being undertaken in our hospitals , we’re seeing more patients.

Advertisement "This suggests that hospital performance is still worsening in Scotland, while it is improving in England .” Measures found to be getting worse include the size of the elective care waiting list plus numbers treated within 18 weeks or waiting more than a year. Between April and June, there were 15 per cent fewer elective inpatient admissions, nine per cent fewer emergency inpatient admissions and six per cent fewer outpatient appointments compared to October to December 2019.

Jackie Baillie, Scottish Labour ’s health spokeswoman, hit out: “This is a damning report. Advertisement "Our hospitals are buckling under the strain of SNP incompetence.” THE SCOTTISH SUN SAYS... SCOTLAND’S NHS is in crisis and the SNP are in denial. That is the message of the Institute for Fiscal Studies’ scathing analysis we report today. It reads as a damning failure of first Humza Yousaf, then Michael Matheson, and now Neil Gray’s time in the Health Secretary role. And it proves that the SNP’s much celebrated NHS Recovery Plan — launched in 2021 — was not worth the paper it was written on. We have heard almost every week at First Minister’s Questions how a once-in-a-generation shock hit the NHS. And yes, the Covid-19 pandemic has hit every health service hard. But the SNP’s insistence that somehow Scotland is doing better than England has never been so roundly debunked. Nats chiefs must ask themselves what they are doing wrong and what politicians down south are doing right. Because the SNP are failing Scots. For far too long the NHS has been creaking under their influence. It is broken, unfit for purpose, and in desperate need of reform. But if you listen to SNP politicians, you would think everything is tickety-boo. The reality is Scots are forced to deal with rising waiting lists, consistently missed targets, and worsening productivity. And while NHS England is still suffering from a pandemic hangover, it is at least beginning to improve. In fact, on almost every metric things are worse in Scotland this year than they were last year. In England, it has taken a change of government for politicians to admit that the health service is broken. Maybe the same is required in Scotland for things to start heading in the right direction. Because it doesn’t take a genius to see John Swinney’s spin is complete and utter nonsense. Scots Lib Dem leader Alex Cole-Hamilton added: “Ministers have repeatedly boasted about Scotland’s superior performance to England — but this report by the IFS makes a total mockery of those claims.” BMA Scotland chair Dr Iain Kennedy said the figures reflected the “perma-crisis” in hospitals.

Partners In Health (PIH) is spearheading the push to end gender-based violence (GBV) in Neno District. The non-governmental organisation has been providing healthcare services in the hilly district since 2017. Two years later, it embarked on a village to village initiative to raise community awareness on how to prevent, identify, report and stop GBV. “Previously, the situation was bad. Many people in the district could not recognise and report gender-based violence. As such, they were not coming out to report abuse,” says PIH adolescent and women’s health clinical mentor Rachel Mwanza. The gap gave rise to various interventions to ensure no woman or girl was left behind. “This helped break the silence. A lot of cases surfaced,” says Mwanza. PIH has rolled out community social dialogue sessions known as Bwalo la Chinyamata, which target boys as allies in ending GBV. It also supported the establishment of community task forces and groups that link GBV survivors to screening for health complications and referral to law enforcers, psychosocial counselling and other remedies. The grassroots initiatives have strengthened coordination between local structures such as mother groups and community policing forums with child protection officers to effectively prevent GBV and respond to rights violations. PIH has also trained health workers on the management of GBV cases, helped over 2 000 survivors of rape, defilement, child marriages and other forms of GBV. Girls below 18 years old constitute about 80 percent of the reported cases, PIH reports. Gloria Munlo, now 22, is worried that illegal marriages involving girls below 18 have become a tolerated form of defilement. The girl, from Chikalema Village in Traditional Authority Chikalema, dropped out of Form Four and married a 24-year-old tailor during the Covid-19 school break in 2020. “It was just peer pressure,” she says. “All my four friends got married. I was 17 when I followed suit.” The last born in a family of seven children was the first to reach Form Four. “My parents were shocked when I dropped out months before completing secondary school. None of their children had obtained the Malawi School Certificate of Education [MSCE],” Gloria recounts. The parents tried in vain to rescue the girl from the outlawed marriage. “He promised to love me till death and I married him against my parents’ will. I got pregnant and it was difficult to return to my parents,” she says. Shortly after Gloria gave birth through caesarian procedure, the husband ejected her “saying he wasn’t ready for marriage”. “I spent days without food. He used to beat me day and night while screaming all sorts of abuse,” she recalls. The girl reported the case to the district’s social welfare office, but the abuse persisted. He kicked her out when the boy was 11 months old. “I was stranded. I asked my parents to give me a second chance, they accepted me back,” she says regretfully. In 2021, Gloria, with support from the local agents in the fight against GBV, sued her husband for child support. To her delight, Chikonde Magistrate’s Court in the district ordered him to pay K20 000 in monthly child support. However, the man only complied for a month, risking imprisonment for contempt of court. Gloria regrets quitting school just when she was about to sit for MSCE examinations, which marks transition from secondary school to university. When the baby was one year and six months old, her parents sent her back to school. Her mother devotedly took care of the baby during school hours and her father paid school fees so that she could learn. Her re-enrolment at Neno Community Day Secondary School in 2022 gave her a second chance to learn and achieve her dreams despite insults from her schoolmates. The girl, who scored 32 points in her MSCE examinations, dreams of studying tailoring to become self-sufficient. “My parents are my hero,” she says. “I cannot pay back for everything they have done to me. I won’t marry anytime soon. I’ve to take care of my son and parents.” District gender officer Gertrude Mphande says child marriages and sexual assault remain rampant in Neno. She says most of the rape and defilement cases are perpetrated by kabaza cyclists who carry travellers at a fee. PIH is supporting government in the global push to achieve the Beijing Declaration adopted in September 1995 to end all forms of violence against women and girls. The international declaration adopted at the Fourth World Conference on Women in the Chinese capital promotes gender equality and women’s empowerment. It embodies a shared vision to create a future free from fear and injustice. The declaration was the global talking point and rallying call during this year’s 16 Days of Activism against GBV, which was launched at Mpasa CDSS ground on November 25. The national theme was Unite to End Violence against Women and Girls in Malawi towards Beijing +30.

IU INDY 88, ALABAMA A&M 83CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — A Ukrainian girls’ hockey team is in Canada for a few days of peace and hockey in an arena that doesn’t have a missile-sized hole in its roof. After 56 hours of travel to Calgary, including a 24-hour bus ride from Dnipro to Warsaw, Poland, that required army escort for a portion of it, the Ukrainian Wings will join Wickfest, Hayley Wickenheiser’s annual girls’ hockey festival, on Thursday. The squad of players aged 11 to 13 was drawn from eight different cities in Ukraine, where sport facilities have been damaged or destroyed since in February 2022. “They all have a personal story of something awful happening,” said Wickenheiser. “We give them a week of peace and joy here, and I hope they can carry that with them. “We know full well they’re going back to difficult circumstances. It’s tough that way.” Nine players are from Kharkiv, where pictures show a large hole in the roof of the Saltovskiy Led arena where the girls’ team WHC Panthers once skated. “It was our home ice arena, and we played all our national team championships in this ice arena,” said Kateryna Seredenko, who oversees the Panthers program and is the Wings general manager. Ukraine’s Olympic Committee posted photos and wrote in a Facebook post Sept. 1 that Kharkiv’s Sport Palace, which was home to multiple hockey teams, was also destroyed in an attack on the city. Seredenko says the Wings’ arduous journey to Calgary was worth it because it gives the girls hope. “It’s not a good situation in Ukraine, but when they come here, they can believe that everything will be good, everything will be fine, of course we will win soon and we must play hockey. We can’t stop because we love these girls and we will do everything for them,” she said. “So many girls on this Ukrainian team are future players of the national team.” Wickenheiser, a , is the assistant general manager of player development for the Toronto Maple Leafs and a doctor who works emergency room shifts in the Toronto area. The six-time Olympian and four-time gold medalist organized her first Wickfest after the 2010 Winter Games. She’s had teams from India, Mexico and the Czech Republic attend over the last decade and a half, but never a team that ran the Ukrainians’ gauntlet of logistics. The Canadian Partnership for Women and Children’s Health took on the task of arranging visas and paying for the team’s travel. “We care about women and children’s health. Sport is such a symbol. When you see a group of girls coming off the ice all sweaty and having worked hard on the ice, it’s a symbol of a healthy girl,” said chief executive officer Julia Anderson. “That’s a healthy kid that’s able to participate in sport. We really believe if we can get girls there, whether they’re in an active war zone, or here in Canada, those girls will change the world.” The Wings aren’t the first Ukrainians to seek a hockey haven in Canada since the war began. An under-25 men’s team played four games against university squads in early 2023 to prepare for that year’s world university games. in the Quebec City International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament. “It’s the first time in Ukrainian history where a girls’ team is coming to Canada to a very good tournament,” Seredenko said. “They can see how they can play in their future. And they can see how it is to play hockey in Canada.” ___ AP sports:

Home | Business | Ola Electrics Stock Falls Around 3 Per Cent After Fresh High Level Exits Ola Electric’s stock falls around 3 per cent after fresh high-level exits Chief Marketing Officer Anshul Khandelwal and Suvonil Chatterjee, Chief Technology and Product Officer, step down from their roles citing personal reasons By IANS Published Date - 30 December 2024, 10:56 AM New Delhi: The share of Ola Electric fell around 3 per cent on Monday after some fresh high-level exits at the company, including its Chief Marketing Officer Anshul Khandelwal and Suvonil Chatterjee, Chief Technology and Product Officer. On Monday, the share was trading less than Rs 86 apiece, after falling nearly 3 per cent. Khandelwal and Chatterjee stepped down from their roles at the company, effective December 27, citing personal reasons. Both executives initially joined Ola’s ride-hailing business before transitioning to Ola Electric Mobility. Several top executives of the company have tendered their resignations this year as the company faces mounting pressure. N Balachandar, Group Chief People Officer, left the EV company in November after overseeing HR for Ola Electric, Ola Cabs, and Krutrim AI. In October this year, Ravi Jain, Business Head of Krutrim AI, and Sidharth Shakdher, CBO of Ola Mobility, left the company. After a blockbuster sales figure in October due to the festive season, Ola Electric vehicle registrations dropped by 33 per cent in November. According to Vahan portal data, the number of registrations of Ola Electric vehicles in November fell by 33 per cent on a month-on-month (MoM) basis to 27,746 units. In October last year, this figure was more than 40,000 units. Due to fewer registrations, the company’s market share dipped to 24 per cent in November, which was 30 per cent in October. However, the company still maintains the first position in the electric two-wheeler market by sales. Bhavish Aggarwal-led Ola Electric has seen volatility in sales in recent months. The reasons for this were attributed to increasing competition in the market and poor service and product quality.
