San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey and top backup Jordan Mason are being placed on injured reserve. McCaffrey left the snowy field in Buffalo on Sunday night after a 5-yard gain that was preceded by him heading to the sideline in apparent pain at the end of an 18-yard run. McCaffrey was diagnosed with a posterior cruciate ligament injury in his right knee and did not play in the second half. The 49ers also lost Jordan Mason, who emerged in a starting role with McCaffrey out the first two months of the season, to an ankle injury. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Mason has a high-ankle sprain, which typically requires a recovery window of 4-6 weeks. Those moves push rookie Isaac Guerendo into the RB1 spot. He scored the team's only touchdown at Buffalo. The IR slots in San Francisco are manned by multiple starters, including wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, linebacker Dre Greenlaw, defensive tackle Javon Hargrave and safety Talanoa Hufanga. Mason had a team-leading 789 rushing yards and scored three touchdowns. Being placed on IR means he's not eligible to play until the regular-season finale at Arizona. McCaffrey had 53 yards on seven carries on Sunday night and caught two passes for 14 yards before exiting. He was playing in just his fourth game of the season after missing the first eight because of Achilles tendinitis. McCaffrey was the NFL Offensive Player of the Year last season, when he led the league with 2,023 yards from scrimmage: a league-leading 1,459 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns plus 67 catches for 564 yards and seven scores. McCaffrey hasn't scored a touchdown in his four appearances this season. He has rushed for 202 yards on 50 carries and caught 15 passes for 146 yards. "It was frustrating," Shanahan said after the game. "He had a great week of practice and I could feel his urgency and stuff and thought he came out great, looking really good, and it looked like he just got his shoestring there. ... I hurt for him, and tough for our team not having him." The 49ers (5-7) played without defensive end Nick Bosa (oblique) and left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) in the 35-10 loss. San Francisco has lost three in a row heading into next Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears (4-8) in Santa Clara, Calif. San Francisco resides two games behind the NFC West-leading Seattle Seahawks (7-5) with five games remaining on the schedule. Seattle and San Francisco split their season series. --Field Level Media

The Associated Press created this story using technology provided by Data Skrive and data from Sportradar .Experts at Nigeria’s agricultural sector, the National Agricultural Development Fund (NADF), and Heifer International Nigeria workshop, on Monday, called for a data-driven, de-risked mechanization model as a critical step to addressing Nigeria’s food security challenges. Stakeholders engaged in insightful workshop discussions, addressing best practices for improving mechanization in Nigeria. Topics included land cluster farming to improve efficiency; training programs for tractor operators and technicians; empowering youth and women in agriculture; and ensuring sustainability through IoT-enabled tracking and maintenance systems. Speaking during a workshop in Abuja, the Country Director of Heifer Nigeria, Dr. Lekan Tobe, lamented the poor management of existing mechanized equipment, which has led to inefficiencies and waste across the country. The workshop, themed “Implementation of the 10,000 Tractors Initiative with a Focus on the 2,000 Tractor Pilot Phase,” brought together key stakeholders from across the public and private sectors to deliberate on innovative strategies to enhance agricultural mechanization. He expressed concern over the low level of mechanized farming in the country, revealing that only 10% of Nigerian farmers utilize modern farming equipment. “At NADF, our ethos is rooted in interrogating policy and fostering collaboration to create impactful frameworks. Today’s workshop hosted in collaboration with Heifer Nigeria exemplifies this approach, as we engage with stakeholders to listen and refine strategies for the tractorization and mechanization program,” Tobe said. “As part of the first phase of this initiative, we are on track to acquire and assemble 2,000 John Deere tractors and implements by the end of Q1 2025, with deployment set for Q2 2025. Our goal is to establish unique models of mechanization, backed by Key Performance Indicators that can be implemented and monitored across the country to evaluate the success of these models. Together, we are building a robust foundation to advance agricultural productivity in Nigeria.” In her presentation on different tractor financing and operating models at the workshop, the Country Managing Director of Hello Tractor, Dr. Nneka Enwonwu, emphasized that: She said: “Effective mechanization requires innovative financing models. At Hello Tractor, we focus on addressing the financing and operational barriers that hinder access to mechanization. “By leveraging data-driven solutions like our Pay-As-You-Go model and technology-enabled tracking, we ensure tractors are efficiently utilized and maintained. This approach, combined with strategic partnerships and scalable solutions such as mechanization hubs, is transforming the mechanization landscape across Africa. “Together, we can build a sustainable and inclusive framework that empowers farmers, boosts productivity, and drives agricultural development in Nigeria and beyond.”AI was everywhere in 2024.

Senate Intel chairman calls Chinese hack ‘worst’ in ‘nation’s history’

Uruguay's voters choose their next president in a close runoff with low stakes but much suspenseTEL AVIV, Israel — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu underwent successful surgery Sunday to have his prostate removed, hospital officials said, a procedure that came as he manages multiple crises including the war in Gaza and his trial for alleged corruption. Netanyahu, who has had a series of health issues in recent years, has gone to great lengths to bolster a public image of himself as a healthy, energetic leader. During his trial this month, he boasted about working 18-hour days, accompanied by a cigar. But as Israel’s longest-serving leader, such a grueling workload over a total of 17 years in power could take a toll on his well-being. Netanyahu, 75, is among older world leaders including U.S. President Joe Biden, 82, President-elect Donald Trump, 78, Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, 79, and Pope Francis, 88, who have come under scrutiny for their age and health issues. Netanyahu’s latest condition is common in older men, but the procedure has had some fallout. The judges overseeing his trial accepted a request from his lawyer on Sunday to call off three days of testimony scheduled this week. The lawyer, Amit Hadad, had argued that Netanyahu would be fully sedated for the procedure and hospitalized for “a number of days.” Jerusalem’s Hadassah Medical Center announced late Sunday that the procedure had been “completed successfully.” Justice Minister Yariv Levin, a close ally, served as acting prime minister during the operation. Netanyahu is expected to remain hospitalized for several days. With so much at stake, Netanyahu’s health in wartime is a concern for both Israelis and the wider world. A turbulent time in the region As Israel’s leader, Netanyahu is at the center of major global events that are shifting the Middle East. With the dizzying pace of the past 14 months, being incapacitated for even a few hours can be risky. Netanyahu will be in the hospital at a time when international mediators are pushing Israel and Hamas to reach a ceasefire in Gaza and as fighting between Israel and Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels intensifies. Prostate issues are common and in many cases easily treatable. Still, the procedure puts a dent in Netanyahu’s image of vigor at a time when he would want to project strength more than ever, both to an Israeli audience navigating constant threats as well as to Israel’s enemies looking to expose its weaknesses. Previous health issues, including a heart condition Netanyahu insists he is in excellent health. His office releases footage of him touring war zones in full protective gear flanked by military officers, or meeting with defense officials on windswept hilltops in youthful dark shades and puffer jackets. But that image was shattered last year when Netanyahu’s doctors revealed that he had a heart condition, a problem that he had apparently long known about but concealed from the public. A week after a fainting spell, Netanyahu was fitted with a pacemaker to control his heartbeat. Only then did staff at the Sheba Medical Center reveal that Netanyahu has for years experienced a condition that can cause irregular heartbeats. The revelation came as Netanyahu was dealing with massive anti-government protests. The news about a chronic heart problem stoked further anger and distrust during extreme political polarization in Israel. Last year, Netanyahu was rushed to the hospital for what doctors said likely was dehydration. He stayed overnight, prompting his weekly Cabinet meeting to be delayed. Earlier this year, Netanyahu underwent hernia surgery, during which he was under full anesthesia and unconscious. Levin served as acting prime minister during the operation. Recovery can be quick According to Netanyahu’s office, the Israeli leader was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection on Wednesday stemming from a benign enlargement of his prostate. The infection was treated successfully with antibiotics, but doctors said the surgery was needed in any case. Complications from prostate enlargement are common in men in their 70s and 80s, Dr. Shay Golan, head of the oncology urology service at Israel’s Rabin Medical Center, told Israeli Army Radio. Golan spoke in general terms and was not involved in Netanyahu’s care or treatment. He said an enlarged prostate can block proper emptying of the bladder, leading to a build-up of urine that can lead to an infection or other complications. After medicinal treatment, doctors can recommend a procedure to remove the prostate to prevent future blockages, Golan said. In Netanyahu’s case, because the prostate is not cancerous, Golan said doctors were likely performing an endoscopic surgery, carried out by inserting small instruments into a body cavity, rather than making surgical cuts in the abdomen to reach the prostate. The procedure lasts about an hour, Golan said, and recovery is quick. He said that aside from catheter use for one to three days after the procedure, patients can return to normal activity without significant limitations.

The CoE has already begun functioning from the premier training facility of the Indian Railways located in Secunderabad. It has developed Kavach standard training and operating manuals as well as installation practices for the loco pilots, loco inspectors, loco-shed supervisors, signal and telecom engineers and other field personnel in recent times, informed senior officials. The centre, which has been working on the newer version and roll-out of Kavach, has just released an ‘Uniform Braking Algorithm’ incorporating various special features to meet operating conditions across various Original Equipment Manufacturers. Standard installation drawings of Kavach and various kinds of locomotives have been finalised, they explained. The ‘logic’ behind direct loco-to-loco communication on existing railway network designed by the centre has also been accepted by Research Design & Standards Organisation as a standardised arrangement to be used by all stakeholders. With the Railways Ministry expediting Kavach roll-out, the analysis of “incidents in the field” is being carried out from time to time for necessary corrective action. More than eight “critical” issues have been analysed apart from minor routine issues through verbal guidance, said senior officials. Pacts have been signed with three colleges — Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Technology (Hyderabad), Madan Mohan Malviya University of Technology (Gorakhpur) and MBM University (Jodhpur) for introducing ‘open’ electives and certification course on railway signal engineering and ‘Kavach’, for B.Tech students. Earlier, six other colleges had come on board for the course. While the focus is on conducting training courses on Kavach since it has become the flagship programme this year, about 1,014 personnel, including electric loco shed supervisors and mechanical officers alongside the usual trainees, have been trained through 45 programmes. Another 11 special training programmes were conducted for 877 chief loco inspectors in the technology, said IRISET Director-General Sharad Kumar Srivastava during the annual day function.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A jetliner skidded off a runway, slammed into a concrete fence and burst into flames Sunday in South Korea after its landing gear apparently failed to deploy. All but two of the 181 people aboard were killed in one of the country’s worst aviation disasters , officials said. The Boeing 737-800 operated by Jeju Air plane arrived from Bangkok and crashed while attempting to land in the town of Muan, about 290 kilometers (180 miles) south of Seoul. Footage of the crash aired by South Korean television showed the plane skidding across the airstrip at high speed, evidently with its landing gear still closed, and slamming into the wall, triggering an explosion and generating plumes of thick, black smoke. The crash killed 179 people, the South Korean fire agency said. Emergency workers pulled two crew members, to safety. They were conscious and did not appear to have any life-threatening injuries, health officials said. The chief of the Muan fire station, Lee Jeong-hyeon, told a televised briefing that the plane was completely destroyed, with only the tail assembly still recognizable in the wreckage. Officials were investigating the cause of the crash, including whether the aircraft was struck by birds, Lee said. The control tower issued a warning about birds to the plane shortly before it intended to land and gave the crew permission to land in a different area, Transport Ministry officials said. The crew sent out a distress signal shortly before the crash, officials said. Investigators retrieved the jet's flight data and cockpit voice recorders, said senior Transport Ministry official Joo Jong-wan. He said it may take months to complete the probe into the crash. The runway will be closed until Jan. 1, the ministry said. Video of the crash indicated that the pilots did not deploy flaps or slats to slow the aircraft, suggesting a possible hydraulic failure, and they did not manually lower the landing gear, suggesting they did not have time, said John Cox, a retired airline pilot and CEO of Safety Operating Systems in St. Petersburg, Florida. Despite that, the jetliner was under control and traveling in a straight line, and damage and injuries likely would have been minimized if not for a barrier being so close to the runway, Cox said. “It’s all in one piece. Everything is coming along fine until it hits that wall, at which point it disintegrates into a catastrophe,” he said. Another aviation expert said videos showed the aircraft had used up much of the runway before touching down. With little braking ability, the aircraft skidded atop its engine cowlings, said Ross “Rusty” Aimer, CEO of Aero Consulting Experts. “It's basically like skidding on ice,” he said. The Boeing 737-800 is a "proven airplane" that belongs to a different class of aircraft than the Boeing 737 Max jetliner that was linked to fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019, added Alan Price, a former chief pilot at Delta Air Lines and now a consultant. More than 4,500 of the planes are in service around the world, according to the aviation analytics company Cirium. One of the survivors was being treated for fractures to his ribs, shoulder blade and upper spine, said Ju Woong, director of the Ewha Womans University Seoul Hospital. Ju said the man, whose name was not released, told doctors he “woke up to find (himself) rescued.” Details on the other survivor were not immediately available. The passengers were predominantly South Korean and included two people from Thailand. Officials identified 88 of them in the hours after the crash, the fire agency said. Thailand’s prime minister, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, expressed condolences to the families of those aboard the plane in a post on X. Paetongtarn said she ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to provide assistance. Boonchuay Duangmanee, the father of a Thai passenger, told The Associated Press that his daughter, Jongluk, had been working in a factory in South Korea for several years and returned to Thailand to visit her family. "I never thought that this would be the last time we would see each other forever,” he said. Kerati Kijmanawat, the director of Thailand's airports, confirmed in a statement that Jeju Air flight 7C 2216 departed from Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport with no reports of anything abnormal aboard the aircraft or on the runway. Jeju Air in a statement expressed its “deep apology” over the crash and said it will do its “utmost to manage the aftermath of the accident.” In a televised news conference, the company's president, Kim E-bae, bowed deeply with other senior company officials as he apologized to bereaved families and said he feels “full responsibility” for the crash. He said the company had not identified any mechanical problems with the aircraft following regular checkups and that he would wait for the results of government investigations. Family members wailed as officials announced the names of some victims at a lounge in the Muan airport. Boeing said in a statement on X that it was in contact with Jeju Air and was ready to support the company in dealing with the crash. The crash happened as South Korea is embroiled in a political crisis triggered by President Yoon Suk Yeol’s stunning imposition of martial law and ensuing impeachment . South Korean lawmakers on Friday impeached acting President Han Duck-soo and suspended his duties, leading Deputy Prime Minister Choi Sang-mok to take over. Choi, who traveled to the site in Muan, called for officials to use all available resources to identify the dead as soon as possible. The government declared Muan a special disaster zone and designated a weeklong national mourning period. Yoon’s office said his chief secretary, Chung Jin-suk, presided over an emergency meeting between senior presidential staff to discuss the crash and reported the details to Choi. Yoon expressed condolences to the victims in a Facebook post. In Rome’s St. Peter’s Square, Pope Francis said he joined in “prayer for the survivors and the dead.” U.S. President Joe Biden said the United States was ready to offer “any necessary assistance.” The Muan crash is one of the deadliest disasters in South Korea’s aviation history. The last time South Korea suffered a large-scale air disaster was in 1997, when a Korean Airlines plane crashed in Guam, killing 228 people on board. In 2013, an Asiana Airlines plane crash-landed in San Francisco, killing three and injuring about 200. Sunday’s accident was also one of the worst landing disasters since a July 2007 crash that killed all 187 people on board and 12 others on the ground when an Airbus A320 slid off a slick airstrip in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and hit a nearby building, according to data compiled by the Flight Safety Foundation, a nonprofit group aimed at improving air safety. In 2010, 158 people died when an Air India Express aircraft overshot a runway in Mangalore, India, and plummeted into a gorge before erupting into flames, according to the safety foundation.

The Hanover Insurance Group, Inc. Increases Quarterly Dividend to $0.90 Per Common ShareLEDUC, Alta. - Alberta’s police watchdog says an RCMP officer is facing sexual assault charges stemming from a hotel room party two years ago. The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team says its investigation into the Leduc-based Mountie revealed evidence that gives reason to believe sexual assault offences happened and that the officer should be charged. It says they allegedly took place in an Airdrie hotel room while a group of people socialized in the early morning hours of Dec. 3, 2022. Const. Bridget Morla is charged with two counts of sexual assault. She has been released on the condition that she appear in court next week. The police watchdog says no further information would be released as the matter is before the courts. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 2, 2024.

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, has launched a blistering critique of former Rivers State Governor, Dr. Peter Odili, accusing him of political sycophancy and hypocrisy. Wike claimed he was instrumental in reviving Odili’s political relevance, describing him as “politically dead” before his intervention. Speaking at a Special Thanksgiving Service organized by the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Hon. Martin Chike Amaewhule, at the Church of the Holy Spirit, Anglican Communion in Port Harcourt, Wike responded to comments Odili made during a Christmas Ballad in honor of the current Rivers Governor, Siminalayi Fubara. Odili had alleged that Fubara thwarted Wike’s attempt to turn Rivers State into his personal estate. Reacting to Odili’s statement, Wike said, “Between him and myself, who has turned Rivers State to his personal estate? His wife is the Chairman of a Governing Council, his daughter is a commissioner, his other daughter is a judge, and he is the general overseer. Who has now turned Rivers State into a private estate?” Wike accused Odili of betraying past support and loyalty, adding that the former governor’s remarks reeked of opportunism. He recalled Odili’s earlier praise during his own tenure as governor. “When I was governor, this same Odili praised me to high heavens. In fact, he said then that all past governors in Rivers State combined did not do better than me. He even hung my pictures in every room of his house—living room, bedroom, kitchen, and toilets. But today, all those pictures are gone.” Read also: NPFL: Ikorodu beat Sunshine Stars as Rangers pip Tornadoes Wike detailed his contributions to Odili’s resurgence, highlighting the support he provided for PAMO University and the mansion he built for the former governor. “In 2007 after he left office, he couldn’t come near power in the state because Amaechi was governor. He was gone! When I became governor in 2015, I brought him back to life politically. For PAMO University, Rivers State sponsored 100 students per session, each paying at least N5 million per semester. I even called Julius Berger to build him a mansion. He was telling everyone how Wike had shown him love,” Wike recounted. The FCT Minister also took a swipe at Odili’s alleged sycophantic tendencies, accusing him of pandering to whoever is in power. “An elder statesman should not be a trader or a sycophant all the time. What can I learn from such an elder? What kind of advice can one get from someone who praises you one moment and criticizes you the next?” Wike queried. On the Rivers governorship issue, Wike dismissed Odili’s criticisms and alleged inconsistency. “When I was plotting who would be governor after me, was he there? Back then, he was complaining about this governor, saying he couldn’t stand before the public to talk. But today, he’s organizing Christmas Carols for the same governor he once opposed,” Wike said. Addressing Odili’s claim that Fubara had surpassed the achievements of past governors, Wike said, “The governor hasn’t even spent one year in office, and Odili is already saying he’s done more than all the past governors. You spent eight years as governor, and someone who hasn’t spent one year has beaten your record? What manner of elder talks like that?” Wike concluded by accusing Odili of lacking the courage to stand firm in politics, referencing Odili’s decision to step down from the presidential race years ago. “This is a man who wanted to run for president but didn’t have the balls. He chickened out because Obasanjo said no. Because of him, I never invited Obasanjo to Rivers State to commission projects. I didn’t want to humiliate him,” Wike stated. The Minister’s fiery remarks underscore a deepening rift between two of Rivers State’s most prominent political figures, casting a spotlight on the personal and political dynamics shaping the state’s leadership.
