Jammu, Dec 20: Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Kumar Choudhary Friday asserted that Jammu and Kashmir would get its statehood back besides the special status to safeguard citizens’ right to land and jobs. “We will get statehood; that is our right. It is right of all of us, here. You too need to speak on this account. We are raising this issue at every forum. We will also get special status to safeguard our jobs and lands,” he said. Choudhary was responding to media queries after inaugurating the IT expo Jammu at Kala Kendra here. Asked to comment on the JKPCC chief spokesperson’s statement that the present NC government did not have power as J&K has a dual power structure, the Deputy Chief Minister said, “As far as power is concerned, if you are asking me regarding my ministry or our government, are you not able to notice it (power) in our performance? Yes, there are certain things where some interference is there. Everyone knows that.” “But let me tell you, whether we have power or not, this government will live up to the expectations of the people. We have a mandate for five years and we will do during this period (five years) what others could not do in ten years. This is the commitment of the National Conference government,” he asserted. Confronted with queries about the National Conference government facing accusations of discrimination against “Dogri, Hindi and Sanskrit languages in advertising posts of Plus Two lecturers”, the Deputy Chief Minister said, “J&K is a state, converted to Union Territory presently, where people speak varied languages – Urdu, Pahari, Gojri, Sanskrit, Hindi, Dogri and Punjabi. Unfortunately, we talk only about a few languages. We need to talk about Punjabi as well. Provisions should be made for all languages so that students can study the languages they have opted for. There should be provision for Hindi and Sanskrit as well.” “But we’ll have to understand which pockets need to be identified. I have studied Sanskrit in my childhood but nowadays children don’t opt for Sanskrit. Even students don’t opt for Hindi as our children fail in Hindi subjects while they find it very easy to clear English as a subject. We (in our childhood) used to find Hindi as a very easy language,” Choudhary said. “We believe that all languages should be respected and should be taught as subjects in schools so that our children can get jobs. We have been in the government for just over two months. We have inherited a very weak (disempowered) Jammu and Kashmir, which is not a state but a UT. There are certain things which are not in our hands like the Police are not with us. So we need your (media’s) support and cooperation of youth, who comprise the future of J&K and this nation. We all, including our leaders – Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah – say that all languages should be respected and taught,” he added. In response to a question about the Congress demand for the resignation of Union Home Minister Amit Shah for his statement in the Parliament on B R Ambedkar, Choudhary said, “Congress has demanded it so you better ask them.” Regarding BJP’s accusations against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and the registration of an FIR against him for “manhandling some of its (BJP’s) MPs”, the Deputy Chief Minister echoed the stance of his party leader and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah. “However, as far as yesterday’s incident is concerned wherein some accusations have been made against the Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhiji, we believe that given his inherent nature and behaviour, he (Rahul) cannot do like this (pushing MPs). B R Ambedkar is the architect of the Constitution of India,” he said. “For all the communities and people belonging to all religions in India, the constitution comes only next to their respective religious scriptures. It (the constitution) has safeguarded our freedom and ensured the rights of all citizens. We both (media and politicians) are talking to each other this way because of the rights given by our constitution. This is why the respect for the Constitution and Dr Ambedkar should always remain intact,” Choudhary said. About queries regarding the IT Expo, he stated, “Expo was a good opportunity for Jammuites to get acquainted with the new revolutionary trends and innovation in the IT sector. People associated with the IT sector from across India are here bringing expertise and innovation in branded products and technology from across the globe.” “They will be able to witness “smart classes” here and will also be able to equip themselves to check cyber crimes. I’ve suggested sending IT experts to schools and colleges to create awareness among students against cyber crimes which have emerged as the latest threat and people lose crores due to lack of awareness. I’ve been told that school students will also visit this exhibition. I exhort all Jammuites to visit this expo and derive benefits out of it,” the Deputy Chief Minister said.90jili website 。

HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — Aidan O'Connell will start at quarterback when the Las Vegas Raiders visit their AFC West rival and two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs on Friday. Raiders coach Antonio Pierce made the announcement Wednesday, saying O'Connell had progressed well after breaking his right thumb on Oct. 20 in a 20-15 loss to the Los Angeles Rams . “He’s been dialed in obviously throughout this time that he’s been on (injured reserve),” Pierce said. "He’s been at all the meetings. He’s been very encouraging on the sideline. He’s got that laser-eye focus right now. Great opportunity for him.” Gardner Minshew broke his left collarbone on Sunday in a game against the Denver Broncos and is out for the season . The Raiders could have gone with Desmond Ridder to replace Minshew. Las Vegas signed Ridder off Arizona’s practice squad on Oct. 21. He started 13 games for Atlanta last season, passing for 2,836 yards and 12 touchdowns with 12 interceptions. Pierce opted for O'Connell, who became the starter midway through last season and went 5-4 the rest of the way. Minshew beat him out for the job in the preseason but then struggled through five games. Pierce then put O'Connell in the starting lineup on Oct. 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. O'Connell completed 27 of 40 passes for 227 yards and a touchdown with an interception in the 32-13 loss . Then O'Connell was injured early the following week at Los Angeles and was placed on IR, sidelining him for at least four weeks. The Raiders on Monday designated him to return to practice, opening a three-week window in which O'Connell could be activated. That came this week. “He carried himself like a starter, even when he was on IR," Pierce said. "He did that when he was a backup. He did a great job of just being engaged with the players, engaged on the sideline, in meeting rooms. He’s the one speaking up, talking. You could just look at his eyes. You can look at his demeanor. "He wasn’t a guy like: ‘All right, I’m out for the season. I’m not going to play. No, I’ll be back. I’m ready to be back.’ And he worked his tail off to get back.” O'Connell has a short week to prepare, complicated further because the Raiders aren't having full practices. He was the last opposing quarterback to win at Arrowhead Stadium. Even though he didn't complete a pass after the first quarter, the Raiders walked away 20-14 winners in that Christmas Day game. Las Vegas can only play a little bit of a spoiler this week. The Raiders at 2-9 have lost seven consecutive games, and the Chiefs have their sights on becoming the first team to win three Super Bowls in a row. “Let’s call a spade a spade,” Pierce said. "The best team in football against the worst team in football. Let’s change the narrative, right? Let’s go out there and make it a dog fight. Let’s make it ugly. Let’s make it scrappy. It’s Black Friday. Let’s create a little chaos. Let’s get back to Raider football and have some fun and some personality. Let it loose.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL

NoneCambridge, Massachusetts, best known as the brainy backyard of Harvard University and MIT, has been crowned the top destination for young, wealthy professionals looking to escape the chaos of big cities, according to a new report by GOBankingRates . Forget Manhattan’s skyline or LA’s beaches — this study reveals that young high earners now prioritize safety, livability and a chance to grow their wealth. Cambridge, with its historic charm, cultural vibrancy and proximity to Boston, ticks all the right boxes. More than 40% of Cambridge’s residents are between 25 and 44 years old, and more than half of those households earn at least $150,000 annually — the income threshold deemed “wealthy” by the study. The city also boasts a stellar livability score of 86 out of 100, driven by low crime rates and its easy access to Boston’s booming job market. Danielle Hale, chief economist at Realtor.com , said in a separate report that the region’s success is due to its appeal for high-paying industries. “The region is an education hub, home to many top universities, and as a result, attracts workers in high-paying knowledge industries like technology and research,” she said. Runner-up spots for young and affluent professionals went to Jersey City, New Jersey, and Santa Clara, California. Rounding out the top 10 were Hillsboro, Oregon; Sandy Springs, Georgia; and Sunnyvale, California. Texas, however, dominated the broader top 50 list, with cities like Austin, Dallas and Irving attracting high earners eager to stake their claim in the Lone Star State. But Cambridge isn’t the only Massachusetts city on top. Springfield, just 90 minutes west of Boston, has become the hottest real estate market in the US, according to Realtor.com. Homes in Springfield are attracting three times the national average in views and selling in just 37 days — well below the 62-day national average. “One of the reasons that markets around Boston have done so well is the success of Boston itself,” Hale said.

The video clips have been constant. A couple of months ago, head coach Kevin O’Connell joined “The Pat McAfee Show” and spoke about the pivotal role a team must play in developing a young quarterback. The clip was heavily circulated on the internet. Several weeks later, O’Connell found Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson on the field after a game and provided an uplifting message. Microphones caught the soundbite, and it, too, went viral. . @Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell had some words of encouragement for @GVOaant ❤️ pic.twitter.com/TaXW9dFaMx — NFL (@NFL) November 7, 2024 These might seem like one-offs, a couple of flattering snapshots of O’Connell at the right time. They’re not. These moments capture O’Connell’s perspective on coaching the position he once played. If you aren’t empathizing and you aren’t uplifting — if you aren’t doing everything you can to give your quarterback and team the best chance — then what are you really doing? Advertisement O’Connell’s approach is not fake, either. He is self-aware enough to have admitted his perspective was shaped by his journey, his unfulfilled promise as a player. His path made him who he is as a coach, which has shaped who the Vikings have become as an organization. With a great deal of intentionality, Minnesota has built and maintained an exceptional infrastructure at quarterback, and because of that, available players with options — like Daniel Jones — see it as the optimal destination. On Wednesday, the Vikings signed Jones, 27, to their practice squad . O’Connell spoke with the four current Vikings quarterbacks ( Sam Darnold , Nick Mullens , Brett Rypien and J.J. McCarthy ) before making the move. Jones is expected to arrive in Minnesota on Friday before the team’s Week 13 game Sunday at home against the Arizona Cardinals . GO DEEPER Ex-Giants QB Daniel Jones to sign with Vikings “I got a chance to talk to (Daniel) Monday night,” O’Connell said Wednesday. “He had a lot of interest and rightly so.” Because the New York Giants released Jones last week, and because he cleared waivers, the Vikings will only have to pay Jones a smidge over $100,000. Signing with the practice squad, as opposed to the 53-man roster, also means another team could sign Jones in the event of an injury to its starter. If he is added to the Vikings’ active roster, his price tag could increase. For now, it feels like a sensible move for both sides because there are short- and long-term benefits for both Jones and the team. Jones struggled this season for the 2-9 Giants. And rather than being thrust back into action in a new system and with different skill players, Jones, who is 22-44-1 as a starter, will have something that’s rare in today’s NFL : time. Jones will acclimate to an upbeat and experienced quarterback room in the coming days and weeks. Quarterbacks coach Josh McCown and assistant quarterbacks coach Grant Udinski will assist with Jones’ transition, a process Udinski is familiar with having played a part in last year’s introduction of Josh Dobbs. Advertisement Darnold will obviously remain the starter. As for the backup spot, the Vikings believe in Mullens. He started three games last year. He has entered games and completed meaningful third downs twice already this season. Jones might be an option in the most dire situation, a serious injury to Darnold. It would be wrong to view this signing as an indication of anything in the present other than an opportunity for Jones to add insights to the quarterback room and build relationships with coaches and players. GO DEEPER Vikings hoping they have team in place to successfully draft, develop rookie quarterback “The player development side and the quarterback development side are huge passions of mine,” O’Connell said. “I just love getting opportunities to work with guys. ... Hopefully our system is built to help guys realize their truest potential. It’s as simple as that.” But there may be larger ramifications, as well. Of the Vikings quarterbacks, only McCarthy is under contract for 2025. He is still recovering from surgery this fall to repair a torn meniscus. The Vikings have reiterated McCarthy’s timeline is still on track and that he should be ready to pick up where he left off this spring and summer. That doesn’t change the fact that Minnesota is still going to need another quarterback (or two) for 2025. Signing Jones to the practice squad does not mean Darnold won’t return. That possibility (or the lack thereof) will depend on Darnold’s value, which has increased by the week. Only Josh Allen and Justin Herbert have a higher big-time throw rate this season than Darnold, according to Pro Football Focus. He is also completing a career-high 67.6 percent of his passes. His 10 interceptions might raise a red flag for some teams, but his combination of toughness and athleticism should put him in position to receive a sizable pay increase. The primary reason the Vikings transitioned from Kirk Cousins to Darnold (and McCarthy) was the flexibility it provided from a roster-building perspective. That team-building approach remains, potentially pricing Darnold out for 2025.

This is purely speculative, but Darnold’s departure would leave a void, and that’s where Jones presents another option. If Jones fits in seamlessly over the next couple of months, Darnold continues to excel before leaving this offseason for a massive payday and the Vikings need a quarterback for 2025, they’ll have already built a relationship with Jones who will be one of the better available options. Conversely, if Jones doesn’t fit, or if Darnold decides to come back, Jones can sign elsewhere, strengthening the Vikings’ formula for a compensatory pick. Advertisement It takes some gymnastics to find a downside here, which is why other respected teams were said to have reached out to Jones, too. The Vikings’ pitch was not filled with PowerPoints or talking points, but it was full of examples. Privately, Cousins’ exit from Minnesota was difficult because of how much O’Connell empowered him. This spring, the Vikings were committed enough to build an infrastructure that allowed for patience for McCarthy, so they forked over $10 million for Darnold. O’Connell often shares how important it is to build genuine relationships with players, and this opportunity made that possible with Jones. The Vikings’ offer verified that the discussion point is real. Squint and you’ll see a move emblematic of what O’Connell has established in Minnesota: a franchise focused on maximizing the most important position in the sport not for one season but for the long haul.
