State government can regulate mobile towers, levy fee: High courtTeam India batter Yashasvi Jaiswal enjoyed some fun banter with Australian pacer Mitchell Starc during India's second innings on Day 5 of the 4th Test at the MCG on Sunday. New Delhi: Yashasvi Jaiswal engaged in fun banter with Australian pacer Mitchell Starc during India’s 340-run chase in their second innings on Day 5 of the ongoing fourth Test between the two sides at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in Melbourne on Monday. Jaiswal and Starc had a fun exchange between them after some bail-swapping antics. The incident happened during the 33rd over of India’s innings when Jaiswal was out in the middle with Rishabh Pant with Starc bowling for the hosts. The left-arm pacer went on to switch the bails on the non-striker’s end after a delivery to Pant. However, Jaiswal was quick to put the bails back in their original position as Starc walked back for his run-up. Some banter followed after the next delivery as Starc was caught on the stump mic asking Jaiswal if he believed in superstitions. Jaiswal responded by stating that he believed in himself before telling Starc how he is enjoying his life, facing someone like him in an important Test match for India. “Is that superstition? Why did you change the bails back,” Starc was heard telling Jaiswal on the stump-mic while walking back for his run-up. “I believe in myself, that’s why I am here. I am just enjoying this moment in my life,” Jaiswal responded. The banter between the duo created a buzz among the fans and a clip of the incident went viral on social media. Watch banter between Yashasvi Jaiswal and Mitchell Starc in 4th Test: This is not the first time Jaiswal and Starc have been involved in banter in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The young Indian opener had teased the veteran Aussie quick about the lack of pace in his bowling during his stupendous knock of 161 runs in India’s second innings of the 1st Test match against Australia in Perth. Pant, Jaiswal steady the ship for India after poor start Jaiswal and Pant combined to steady the ship for India after their horror start in the 340-run chase in their second innings on Day 5. India lost skipper Rohit Sharma cheaply on 9 before Pat Cummins got rid of KL Rahul on a duck and Virat Kohli was dismissed by Starc on 5, leaving the visitors reeling at 33/3 in the 27th over. However, Pant and Jaiswal joined hands after lunch to help India stage a fightback in the run-chase. Jaiswal went on to complete his half-century as the duo added a 50-plus stand for the 4th wicket to keep India in the game. A lot will be riding on Pant and Jaiswal’s shoulders if India are to fancy their chances of pulling off an unlikely victory in the Test match and take 2-1 lead in the series.

Pooling funds for F&O tradeSen.-elect Dave McCormick is the most popular person in the room at Pa. SocietyPeter Lynch , legendary investor and former manager of Fidelity's Magellan Fund, continues to inspire investors with his timeless principles. What Happened: Lynch, who achieved a remarkable 29% compound annual return during the 1980s, shared key investment lessons in a 1997 speech that remain relevant today. His insights are a roadmap for navigating market fluctuations and identifying opportunities. Lynch has emphasized that stock prices can defy expectations. Stocks can always go higher, he explained, particularly if the fundamentals of the underlying business are solid. He warned against selling a rising stock purely because it seems overvalued, though he acknowledged the risks of inflated valuations. Short-term market sentiment, not fundamentals, often drives price movements. “If a stock goes higher, especially if it’s a high-flying stock without the earnings to back it up, investors may think it couldn’t possibly go higher. If the fundamentals of the business are great, with sales and profits expanding, then the stock could still continue to rise higher, as the market’s short-term movements are often driven by sentiment, not reality,” Lynch said. “The fact that a stock has gone higher is not a reason to sell in and of itself, though don’t forget that overvalued stocks are risky,” he further added. Also Read: Investment Guru Peter Lynch: ‘If You Can't Explain To An 11-Year-Old In 2 Minutes Or Less Why You Own The Stock, You Shouldn't Own It' Another critical point Lynch made is that a stock price decline doesn't necessarily mean the investor was wrong. Short-term volatility doesn't dictate the validity of a well-researched investment decision. Lynch noted, "The average movement of a stock on the New York Stock Exchange this century has been 50% between its high and low." Even strong stocks can experience significant temporary declines. “The short-term movements of a stock price don’t determine whether you are right or wrong. Investing success cannot be determined by the initial outcome alone,” he added. Lynch also reminded investors of the inherent risk in stock investing. He dispelled the myth that cheap stocks are inherently safer, pointing out that the potential loss is the same regardless of the stock's initial price if it collapses entirely. “Many people often forget that when investing, you can always lose what you have invested, even if a stock is cheap,” he said. Lynch highlighted the importance of thorough research. He said that the person who turns over the most rocks wins, encouraging investors to scrutinize a broad range of companies to uncover mispriced opportunities. If you look at 10 companies you will find one which is mispriced. If you look at 20 you will find two. The person who turns over the most rocks wins," Lynch added. Why It Matters: These principles, rooted in decades of experience, provide valuable guidance for investors navigating today's dynamic markets. By focusing on fundamentals, avoiding emotional decisions, and committing to rigorous analysis, Lynch's approach underscores the keys to long-term success.

A massacre of more than 200 people in Haiti this month followed a gang-ordered manhunt that saw victims, many of them elderly, pulled from their homes and shot or killed with machetes, the UN said Monday. The victims were suspected of involvement in voodoo and accused by a gang leader of poisoning his child, with the suspects taken to a "training center" where many were dismembered or burned after being killed. A civil society organization had said at the time that the gang leader was convinced his son's illness was caused by followers of the religion. "On the evening of December 6, (Micanor Altes) ordered the members of his gang -- around 300 -- to carry out a brutal 'manhunt.' They stormed into about ten alleys of the (Port-au-Prince) neighborhood and forcibly dragged the victims out of their homes," said the report, authored jointly by the UN office in Haiti, BINUH, and the UN Human Rights Commissioner (OCHR). In the days that followed, the gang returned to the neighborhood, abducting adherents from a voodoo temple, targeting individuals suspected of tipping off local media and slaughtering people seeking to escape. Some of the bodies "were then burned with gasoline, or dismembered and dumped into the sea," the report concluded. A total of 134 men and 73 women were killed in total over six days, the report said. A mosaic of violent gangs control most of the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince. The impoverished Caribbean country has been mired for decades by political instability, made worse in recent years by gangs that have grown in strength and organizational sophistication. Despite a Kenyan-led police support mission, backed by the United States and UN, violence has continued to soar. "According to BINUH and OHCHR, since January 2024, more than 5,358 people have been killed and 2,155 injured," the report said. "This brings the total number of people killed or injured in Haiti to at least 17,248 since the beginning of 2022." The UN Security Council "strongly condemned the continued destabilizing criminal activities of armed gangs and stressed the need for the international community to redouble its efforts to provide humanitarian assistance to the population." A spokeswoman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said "these crimes touched the very foundation of Haitian society, targeting the most vulnerable populations." Voodoo was brought to Haiti by African slaves and is a mainstay of the country's culture. It was banned during French colonial rule and only recognized as an official religion by the Haitian government in 2003. While it incorporates elements of other religious beliefs, including Catholicism, voodoo has been historically attacked by other religions. gwKINGSTON, Jamaica – The Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) is reminding the public that no weapons of any kind will be permitted at the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) annual conference, scheduled for this Sunday at the National Arena.

PLAINS, Ga. — This love story begins in Plains, Georgia. That’s where Former President Jimmy Carter and Rosalynn would meet. They were both born and raised in a small farming town, just miles apart from one another and their love story would last a lifetime. On July 7, 2023, the couple celebrated 77 years in their love journey . Rosalynn Carter died on Nov. 19, 2023, while Jimmy Carter died on Sunday in Plains, more than a year apart from each other. As Eleanor Rosalynn Smith would later describe in her memoir ‘First Lady from Plains,’ “Jimmy and I grew up three years and three miles apart.” They would return to Plains throughout their career and settle there later in life . “We do a lot of things, go a lot of places, but Plains is home, and we always come home,” Rosalynn said in the book. After Jimmy proposed for a second time, Rosalynn accepted and the two were married on a warm Southern summer day, July 7, 1946. There wasn’t a ton of fuss, no invitations or anything like that. He was 21, she was 18 and they were in love. Rosalynn reportedly refused the first proposal and promised her father, on his deathbed, to finish college at Georgia Southwestern before getting married . RELATED: A day before their 75th wedding anniversary, the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum reopens On their wedding day, Rosalynn said Jimmy picked her up from her parent’s home to drive to the church together. She wore a short dress, opting for a corsage in lieu of a bouquet. He wore his white Navy Uniform. They walked into the church and down the aisle hand-in-hand, when they emerged, they were man and wife. Is it a coincidence that #InternationalKissingDay is the day before the Carter’s wedding anniversary? We think not! Image: NAID 173390 #GreatCouplesInHistory #75YearsTomorrow ! pic.twitter.com/pEN8P2WXt6 The couple mainly spent their first married years in Norfolk, Virginia. Jimmy was in the Navy and assigned to the USS Wyoming. The day before Independence Day in 1947, they had their first son, John Williams, who they named after Rosalynn’s grandfather. In 1950 while stationed in Hawaii, James Earl III was born and named after Jimmy and his father, James Earl Sr. Two years later, Donnell Jeffrey became their third boy. It would be 15 years before they had their only baby girl, Amy Lynn in 1967. Throughout Jimmy’s journey to Georgia’s Governor’s Mansion and eventually the White House, the Carter’s love story would season, and their family grew. The Carters have three granddaughters, nine grandsons – one who died – and more than a dozen great-grandchildren. In a conversation with reporters in 2015, Jimmy said they have “a good and harmonious family.” And on that journey in politics and the philanthropy and activism that would follow, the Carters were one. In speeches, Jimmy nearly always wrote “Rosalynn and I” when talking about their work on the ground in developing nations and here at home. They raised Amy together in the White House and Rosalynn would become a confidant to the most powerful man in the world. RELATED: Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter honored by World Health Organization for mental health advocacy In an op-ed published in 1996, Jimmy described her as a “key player in political strategy meetings.” He said, “I shared almost all problems and questions with Rosalynn. In fact, we met in the Oval Office for regular weekly luncheons devoted exclusively to public affairs.” When they left the White House, the couple began to write books and established The Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum, and The Carter Center in Atlanta. One experience in their marriage nearly ended it. When the couple co-authored the book ‘Everything to Gain: Making the Most of the Rest of Your Life’ Jimmy said writing that book “almost broke up a 40-year marriage.” “It was amazing to find how differently we remembered the important events of our lives together, and how differently we reacted to them. As the writing progressed, we couldn't speak to each other about the book, and could communicate only by writing vituperative notes back and forth on our word processors,” he said in a speech in 1995. Their marriage survived the book. RelatedGuam joins the rest of the world in mourning the death of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter at age 100, with local officials and the Democratic Party of Guam pointing to Carter's brokering of peace between Israel and Egypt, his Nobel Peace Prize for his humanitarian work, and his 1978 transmission of Guam’s proposed constitution to Congress that showed his support for the island’s political development. "On behalf of the people of Guam, we mourn the passing of former President Jimmy Carter and extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones, as well as to the American people who grieve the loss of an extraordinary leader,” Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero said in a statement on the passing of the 39th president, who was a Democrat. The governor ordered flags to be flown at half-staff for Carter. "As the 39th president of the United States, Jimmy Carter served with a deep moral conviction and a commitment to peace, democracy, and human rights. His leadership during a time of great challenges reflected his belief in the power of diplomacy, compassion, and service to bridge divides and bring about meaningful change," the governor said. Lt. Gov. Josh Tenorio said Carter's lifelong dedication to finding peaceful solutions to conflict and uplifting underserved communities earned him the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize, "a recognition of a legacy that resonates strongly in today’s world, where the values he championed are needed more than ever." "Guam joins the nation and the world in honoring his remarkable contributions. May we continue to draw inspiration from his vision for a better, fairer, and more peaceful world," Tenorio said. Carter died peacefully at his home in Plains, Georgia, on Sunday, Dec. 29. That's Monday, Guam time. The Democratic Party of Guam, in a statement, said Carter’s tenure from 1977 to 1981 was marked by significant achievements, including the Camp David Accords and a steadfast commitment to human rights. "His post-presidential years further exemplified his dedication to humanitarian efforts, notably through the establishment of the Carter Center, which has made substantial contributions to global health and democracy," the Democratic Party of Guam said. In 1978, Carter transmitted Guam’s proposed constitution to Congress, underscoring his support for the island’s political development, the Democratic Party of Guam said. Additionally, in the 1980 U.S. presidential straw poll on Guam, Carter received significant support, securing over 55% of the vote, reflecting the island’s favorable view of his leadership, the party said. "President Carter’s legacy is one of integrity, compassion, and unwavering service to humanity. His contributions have left an indelible mark on the world, and he will be deeply missed," the Democratic Party of Guam added. Guam Del. James Moylan, a Republican, extended his condolences to Carter's family in a statement. "President Carter will forever be known as one of the greatest advocates for human rights in the modern era," he said. "He was a fighter for global democracy and a champion of economic and social development in many foreign countries." Carter’s most significant achievement as commander in chief was brokering peace between Israel and Egypt during the Camp David Accords, Moylan added. He said Carter's post-presidency efforts in undertaking peace negotiations, campaigning for human rights, and working for social welfare earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. Carter's wife, the late First Lady Rosalyn Carter, founded the Carter Center, a nonprofit institution. Together, the Carters advocated for mental health, caregiving, early childhood immunization, human rights, and conflict resolution through the Carter Center, Moylan added. "Their work will live on," Moylan added. Carter is survived by his four children, 11 grandchildren, and 14 great-grandchildren.
