Custom-designed helmets that stave off major brain injuries. Mobile blood banks and preliminary surgery on the battlefield. Dog tags that broadcast medical data. Evacuation by helicopter to hospitals, measured in minutes. Fentanyl lollipops to ease the pain. As Israel plows into the second year of open-ended war on several fronts, its military doctors have been innovating trauma care on the fly and grimly boast a record survival rate. That, in turn, may help shore up public support in Israel for a conflict that has inflicted the country’s worst losses in decades. “We accrue battlefield knowledge and apply it and improve on it even as the fighting continues,” said Lt.-Col. Ofer Almog, head of technological development for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Medical Corps. The human cost on the other side has been devastating — 44,000 dead in Gaza and 3,000 in Lebanon, many of them civilians. Of Israeli soldiers who sustain wounds in the Gaza Strip or southern Lebanon that require urgent treatment, 6.9 percent die, the corps says — a “case fatality rate” (CFR) less than half that of Israel’s last major war, in 2006. It also compares favorably to the CFRs that U.S. forces suffered from similar kinds of attacks in Iraq and Afghanistan — 10 percent and 8.6 percent, according to a 2019 study published by the U.S. military’s Joint Trauma System. An inherent advantage the Israelis have is in the proximity of hospitals. The average time it takes to evacuate a Gaza casualty to a trauma center is 66 minutes, the corps says. The record was 17 minutes. But intervention begins beforehand, sometimes within seconds of the injury, administered by doctors, paramedics or medics deployed with every IDF combat company. Not far behind is an armored ambulance equipped with a specially cooled blood-bank, for type-O transfusions in large quantities to counteract catastrophic hemorrhaging. “Our staff in the field are even equipped to do intraosseous infusions — directly into the bone marrow — when a soldier’s veins aren’t accessible,” Almog said. Kyle Remick, a retired U.S. Army colonel and now trauma chief at Meritus Medical Center in Hagerstown, Maryland, described such “scoop and run” evacuations and rapid hemorrhage control as critical factors in saving lives. “Unprecedented” He called a CFR of 6.9 percent unprecedented, and noted that Israel has long been known as a leader in such battlefield care. Israel has lost almost 800 soldiers, with another 5,350 wounded, in the war that began with a surprise Hamas cross-border rampage in October. On a per capita basis, that’s almost four times the number of U.S. service members killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. And unlike the professional U.S. military, Israel’s personnel are mostly conscripts and reservists. The Hamas attack killed 1200 and abducted 250. Public support for the war in Israel has been strong, with some slippage only in recent weeks amid a sense that objectives in Gaza and Lebanon have been exhausted, said Tamar Hermann, a pollster with the Israel Democracy Institute think-tank. “Had there been many hundreds of fatalities, the erosion would have begun earlier, I think,” she said. Among the IDF’s wartime improvements to care, Almog said, has been a chip-bearing dog tag given immediately to a casualty, into which medics enter information through tablet-like devices. That smooths the handover from battlefield to helicopter to hospital, as each new team downloads the data. Ease breathing During the conflict, the IDF also stopped routinely draining excess air or fluid from a casualty’s chest to ease breathing, a procedure known as a thoracotomy. “We determined, after investigating hundreds of cases, that there was zero proven utility that would suffice to counterbalance the potential damage,” Almog said. Two months into the war, the IDF limited the procedure and instead focused on methods like intubation and ventilation. An IDF innovation team partnered with the Medical Corps is working on body armor that would give more protection than the ceramic breast plates currently issued to soldiers. The new design would incorporate malleable material and mitigate various penetrating injuries. “We found that shrapnel wounds are six times more likely than bullet wounds,” Almog said. The IDF already had its own battle helmet deployed, which the Medical Corps developed by studying head wounds and realizing that the most lethal were generally to the upper parts of the skull. Accordingly, the helmet has more plating over those areas and less elsewhere, for improved protection with roughly the same overall weight. Mental acuity and alertness also play a role in survival. Instead of injecting morphine to dull the pain of an injury, a fentanyl lollipop is given which the casualty can remove when the pain is tolerable and thus remain responsive and cooperative with medics. Upon landing at the hospital, an assistance officer phones one of the casualty’s parents and has them speak directly and briefly about the injury — to provide a measure of calm as the patient enters surgery.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Pittsburgh quarterback Eli Holstein was carted off the field and taken to a hospital with a left leg injury sustained while being sacked in the first quarter of Saturday's Atlantic Coast Conference game at Louisville. The redshirt freshman's left ankle was caught at an awkward angle beneath Louisville defensive end Ashton Gillotte's hip on a twisting tackle for a 4-yard loss at midfield. Panthers medical personnel rushed to Holstein's aid, with a cart arriving quickly on the field within minutes. Holstein’s leg was placed in a boot before he was helped onto the cart. He gave a thumbs-up to nearby teammates as he left the field to applause before being taken a hospital. Holstein started for the Panthers (7-3, 3-3 ACC) after missing last week’s 24-20 home loss to No. 17 Clemson with a head injury sustained in the previous game against Virginia while sliding at the end of a run. He left an Oct. 24 game against Syracuse after taking a hit, but returned against SMU the following week. Holstein completed 3 of 4 passes for 51 yards before being intercepted in the end zone by Louisville's Stanquan Clark on the game-opening possession. He was relieved by junior Nate Yarnell.

Murdoch loses 'Succession' battle for son's control of media empire: report
Expert View: The Indian stock market 's performance in 2024 was notably positive, with the domestic equity benchmarks Sensex and Nifty 50 logging gains of nearly nine per cent each. Nifty 50 crossed its milestone from 22,000 to 26,000 in a relatively short period. However, the second half of the year was met with significant volatility amid both domestic and global triggers. Several triggers, including new global trade patterns, higher tariffs, and shifts in domestic monetary policy, are expected to impact stock market sentiment in the coming year. These factors will likely create a dynamic environment, offering investors both opportunities and challenges in 2025. Also Read: ICICI Bank, L&T to Mastek: SMC Global Securities suggests THESE 10 stocks to buy for long-term with 15-30% upside Before the Indian stock market enters the new year 2025, Dr Mohit Batra, Founder of MarketsMojo , said in an interview with Mint's Nikita Prasad that 2025 would likely present a more challenging investment landscape and that investors must adopt a long-term perspective amid bouts of volatility. The D-Street expert believes the BFSI sector's valuation is attractive and will likely pave the way for greater inflows, particularly in private banks. Edited excerpts from the interview: 1. How do you view the Indian stock market's performance in 2024? What are the key triggers that will impact the Indian stock market in 2025? In 2024, the defining factor for the Indian equity market was the resilience of retail investors. Unlike in previous years, retail participants displayed a commendable maturity by leveraging volatility as an opportunity rather than a deterrent. Retail investors deployed record-high funds into equities, surpassing the previous peak in 2021 and consistent SIP inflows into mutual funds. This reflects an evolving understanding of equity markets as a critical tool for long-term wealth creation. Despite muted foreign portfolio investor (FPI) inflows, the robust participation of retail investors provided significant support, mitigating the impact of weak FPI activity. Also Read: Tech giants Nvidia, Tesla emerge top US-listed stock picks by Indians in 2024; ETFs gain momentum Looking ahead to 2025, several challenges warrant attention. Key among these are potential policy shifts in the US following Donald Trump's inauguration in January. India's economic growth has softened over the first two quarters of the current fiscal year , with GDP numbers for the December quarter also expected to remain underwhelming. Reviving growth will necessitate decisive policy action from the government, making such reforms a crucial market trigger. Additionally, food inflation is emerging as a significant concern for central banks globally. Elevated food prices could influence interest rate cycles, delaying expected rate cuts. Another critical factor is the potential rate hike from the Bank of Japan , which, if realised, could disrupt global capital flows, impacting market sentiment. These triggers underscore the importance of strategic and adaptive market navigation in the coming year. 2. Which sectors are poised for high growth potential in 2025? Should investors focus on domestic cyclicals amid a slowdown in GDP? We anticipate that the government will prioritise infrastructure spending in 2025, especially given the relatively restrained spending in 2024. This renewed focus should significantly benefit sectors associated with infrastructure development. Private sector banks are also poised for a strong rebound. Following two years of underperformance, their attractive valuations position them as potential outperformers in 2025.

Despite facing multiple headwinds in recent years, the sector appears to have weathered the worst. A revival in urban demand is expected, coupled with margin expansion for FMCG companies, which could drive strong performance in the year ahead. Collectively, these sectors present compelling opportunities for investors seeking growth amid economic uncertainties. 3. How will US President-elect Donald Trump's administration impact the US and the Indian stock market? Should we be worried about FPI outflows? The impact of Donald Trump's administration will largely depend on the policies implemented, particularly regarding tariffs and trade agreements. While some campaign promises may translate into actionable policies, others could serve as negotiating tactics rather than hardline measures. FPI flows into India were subdued in 2024, following record inflows in 2023. However, we anticipate a shift in 2025, with the US market likely to underperform, potentially redirecting flows to emerging markets like India. This could result in FPI inflows of ₹ 75,000 crore to ₹ 1 lakh crore for the year. Additionally, many FPIs remain underweight on Indian equities, a positioning that we expect will be corrected in 2025, further supporting FPIs flows.

Will IT stocks generate high returns with the US Fed's hawkish stance? We currently favour a greater allocation to the BFSI sector between IT and BFSI. After underperforming in the last two years' market rallies, BFSI valuations have become attractive , paving the way for increased inflows, particularly in private sector banks. The anticipated rate cuts by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in 2025 will further enhance the sector's appeal. The upcoming Union Budget will likely announce measures to boost private capital expenditure, which could drive growth in banks' corporate loan books. 5. What should be the trading strategy for retail investors in 2025 in case of volatility? Where do you see Sensex and Nifty reaching by the end of 2025? The market in 2025 is expected to be more selective, with specific sectors driving performance instead of a broad-based rally . This environment will require investors to adopt a disciplined stock selection and risk management approach. Unlike the relatively straightforward gains seen in 2023 and 2024, the coming year will likely present a more challenging investment landscape. India remains well-positioned to be one of the top-performing markets globally over the next decade. Retail investors should adopt a long-term perspective, ideally a five-year or more horizon, to ride out short-term volatility. Every market correction should be viewed as an opportunity to increase equity allocation, reinforcing the principles of disciplined investing (not trading) for sustained wealth creation.

Harnett has three decades of coaching experience and spent seven seasons as head coach and general manager with the Waywayseecappo Wolverines from 2017-24. He led the team to a winning record in five of those seasons. The 49-year-old native of Edmonton was hired this past summer as head of the Amarillo (Texas) Wranglers of the North American Hockey League. He was relieved of his duties 20 games into the season on Nov. 20, after guiding the team to a 10-10 record. “Taylor has a wealth of coaching experience,” said Spruce Kings general manager Mike Hawes. “Adding him to our staff gives us another resource which assists our players and our team to be better. We’re fortunate and thrilled to add Taylor to our organization.” Harnett joins a Spruce Kings staff that includes interim head coach Brad Tesink, who took over the team from Alex Evin two weeks ago, skills and development coach Brandon Manning and goaltending coach Kris Joyce. The Spruce Kings are back on home ice at Kopar Memorial Arena this weekend for a BC Hockey League doubleheader against the Langley Rivermen. Fans coming to the rink Saturday are being asked to bring wrapped winter clothing donations on Drop The Gloves and Sock It To ‘Em night. They can toss those items over the glass when the Spruce Kings score their first goal.
Rupert Murdoch's audacious bid to cement his eldest son's control over one of the world's most influential media empires has failed, a US report said Monday. The first family of news -- commanding a stable that includes Fox News, The Wall Street Journal and a host of British and Australian media -- had been the inspiration for the hit TV series "Succession." Like the fictional version, this real-life fight pitted the children of a powerful patriarch against each other for who should be the face and the voice of the empire after the old man dies. Murdoch, now 93, had long intended that his children inherit the empire, and jointly decide its direction. The eldest daughter, Prudence, has had little involvement in the family business, but at various times the other three -- Lachlan, James and Elisabeth -- have all been considered as successors. But in recent years Murdoch senior had reportedly grown concerned that Fox News -- the crown jewels of the collection -- might drift away from its lucrative right-wing moorings after his death, to reflect the more centrist views of James and Elisabeth. He had therefore sought to designate Lachlan -- who currently heads Fox News and News Corp -- as the controlling player in the wider business. That had required rewriting the terms of an irrevocable trust that passed power to the four siblings jointly, stripping three of them of voting power, while allowing them to continue to benefit financially. Rupert Murdoch had argued that giving control to Lachlan -- who is understood to share his father's worldview -- was in the financial interests of the whole brood. The family intrigue played out behind closed doors in a Nevada courtroom, where Murdoch senior and his four children were understood to have given several days' evidence in September. In a decision filed at the weekend, probate commissioner Edmund J. Gorman Jr. said the father and son had acted in "bad faith" in trying to rewrite the rules, The New York Times reported, citing a copy of the sealed court document. The plan to alter the trust's structure was a "carefully crafted charade" to "permanently cement Lachlan Murdoch's executive roles." "The effort was an attempt to stack the deck in Lachlan Murdoch's favor after Rupert Murdoch's passing so that his succession would be immutable," the Times cited the ruling as saying. "The play might have worked; but an evidentiary hearing, like a showdown in a game of poker, is where gamesmanship collides with the facts and at its conclusion, all the bluffs are called and the cards lie face up. "The court, after considering the facts of this case in the light of the law, sees the cards for what they are and concludes this raw deal will not, over the signature of this probate commissioner, prevail." Murdoch's lawyer, Adam Streisand, did not immediately reply to an AFP request for comment. The ruling is not final, and must now be ratified or rejected by a district judge. That ruling could be challenged, perhaps provoking another round of legal arguments. The complicated structure of the irrevocable trust reflects the colourful familial relationships that shaped Rupert Murdoch's life as he built the multibillion-dollar empire. The trust was reported to have been the result of a deal agreed with his second wife -- mother of Lachlan, Elisabeth and James -- who wanted to ensure her offspring would not be disenfranchised by children Murdoch had with his third wife, Wendi Deng. The Murdoch empire has transformed tabloid newspapers, cable TV and satellite broadcasting over the last few decades while facing accusations of stoking populism across the English-speaking world. Brexit in Britain and the rise of Donald Trump in the United States are credited at least partly to Murdoch and his outlets. hg/nro2025 Mini Countryman is fast, fun to drive and miserly in the process

ROME (AP) — In 2020, it was a run to the Champions League quarterfinals just as Bergamo was becoming the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic . Last season, it was an upset victory over Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final to end the German club’s European-record unbeaten run at 51 games. Atalanta keeps on surprising and its latest exploit was moving atop Serie A following a 3-1 win at Parma on Saturday for its seventh straight win in the Italian league. And to think that coach Gian Piero Gasperini considered leaving Atalanta toward the end of last season. Now, Gasperini has the chance to guide “La Dea” (The Goddess), as the team is nicknamed, to its first ever Italian league title. There’s a long way to go, though, and it should be noted that Atalanta is level on points with second-place Inter Milan, which routed Hellas Verona 5-0 earlier, and that Napoli has a chance to reclaim the lead when it hosts Roma on Sunday. Also Saturday, AC Milan and Juventus drew 0-0 at the San Siro in a match with few chances from both sides. Milan produced one shot on goal and Juventus created two. Atalanta's Mateo Retegui scored his league-leading 12th goal of the season, Ederson made it 2-0 before the break and Europa League final hero Ademola Lookman restored the two-goal advantage after Matteo Cancellieri had pulled one back for Parma. Retegui’s fourth headed goal of the season put him atop that category across Europe’s five major leagues, according to Opta, while Lookman volleyed in a cross from Juan Cuadrado after having two goals disallowed. Gasperini was sent off midway through the second half for protests. But he was smiling in the stands at the final whistle. Atalanta's 34 goals are the most in Italy, and trail only Barcelona (42), Bayern Munich (36) and Paris Saint-Germain (36) across Europe's top five leagues. Atalanta has won two and drawn two in the Champions League this season. Marcus Thuram scored twice for defending champion Inter at Verona. Inter was missing top striker Lautaro Martinez, who was out sick. But five goals in the first half made Lautaro’s absence a non-issue. Joaquin Correa opened the scoring 17 minutes in, Thuram then scored twice before more goals from Stefan de Vrij and Yann Aurel Bisseck. Correa nearly added another in second-half stoppage time but his effort hit the woodwork. Inter's only loss across all competitions this season was a derby defeat to Milan in September.
