Mysuru: The Old Mysuru region experienced notable events throughout 2024. The region witnessed several political turmoils, including an FIR being lodged against chief minister Siddaramaiah, the arrest of the son and grandchildren of former PM HD Deve Gowda, BJP expelling one of its senior-most leaders, KS Eshwarappa from the party, and the appointment of CH Vijayashankar as the Meghalaya governor. An era ended with the demise of former CM SM Krishna. The year concluded with the grand success of the 87th Kannada Sahitya Sammelana in Mandya. The biggest political development in the region was Lokayukta cops filing an FIR against CM Siddaramaiah and his wife Parvathi on Sept 27, in connection with the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (Muda) sites scam. Later, both of them appeared before the Lokayukta SP for an inquiry in the city. In the Lok Sabha election 2024, Congress was able to wrest the Hassan constituency, which is considered the home turf of the Gowda family, after a gap of 25 years, while a member of the Mysuru royal family was elected as a Lok Sabha member for the first time after a gap of 25 years. BJP's decision to join hands with JD(S) in the 2024 Lok Sabha election helped both parties to wrest the majority of seats in the Old Mysuru region. Another major political development in the region was BJP's decision to leave the Mandya Lok Sabha constituency to its alliance partner JD(S), instead of retaining incumbent MP Sumalantha, who supported BJP after being elected as an independent candidate in the 2019 general election. After a gap of 18 years, Mandya got representation in the central cabinet with HD Kumaraswamy becoming the cabinet minister for steel and heavy industries. The arrests of former minister and MLA HD Revanna, son of former PM HD Deve Gowda, and his two children, Suraj Revanna (MLC) and Prajwal Revanna (ex-MP), in connection with an alleged sex scandal also made headlines. Revanna and his sons, Prajwal and Suraj, denied the allegations. A mammoth protest against the Deve Gowda family in Hassan, organised by like-minded organisations on May 30, also raised political tensions. End of an era Former CM SM Krishna's death on December 10 marked the end of an era. Krishna, who started his political career as an MLA from Maddur, was considered one of the tallest leaders of the state. Another veteran leader, KH Shrinivas from Shivamogga, passed away on August 30. Yettinahole project The ambitious but controversial Yettinahole drinking water project was inaugurated on Sept 6 at Hassan by CM Siddaramaiah. This project, which aimed at providing drinking water to the drought-hit areas of the southern districts, was criticised as an ecological disaster. No water crisis With southern districts recording heavy rain during the monsoon, there was no Cauvery water crisis this year. The KRS dam continues to remain filled even till the end of December, ensuring that there will not be a drinking water crisis in the summer of 2025. Sahitya Sammelana After a gap of 30 years, Mandya district hosted the 87th Akhila Bharata Kannada Sahitya Sammelana between Dec 20 and 22. Lakhs of people attended this Kannada festival, which attracted Kannada lovers from across the globe. Stay updated with the latest news on Times of India .

After his defeat by Ronald Reagan, he spent his post-presidency years as a global humanitarian, winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. His death on Sunday was announced by his family and came more than a year after he decided to enter hospice care. He was the longest-lived US president. Our founder, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, passed away this afternoon in Plains, Georgia. pic.twitter.com/aqYmcE9tXi — The Carter Center (@CarterCenter) December 29, 2024 His son, Chip Carter, said: “My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights and unselfish love. “My brothers, sister and I shared him with the rest of the world through these common beliefs. “The world is our family because of the way he brought people together, and we thank you for honouring his memory by continuing to live these shared beliefs.” Mr Carter is expected to receive a state funeral featuring public observances in Atlanta and Washington DC before being buried in his home town of Plains, Georgia. A moderate democrat born in Plains in October 1924, Mr Carter’s political career took him from the Georgia state senate to the state governorship and finally the White House, where he took office as the 39th president. His presidency saw economic disruption amid volatile oil prices, along with social tensions at home and challenges abroad including the Iranian revolution that sparked a 444-day hostage crisis at the US embassy in Tehran. But he also brokered the Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel, which led to a peace treaty between the two countries in 1979. After his defeat in the 1980 presidential election, he worked for more than four decades leading the Carter Centre, which he and his late wife Rosalynn co-founded in 1982 to “wage peace, fight disease, and build hope”. Mrs Carter, who died last year aged 96, had played a more active role in her husband’s presidency than previous first ladies, with Mr Carter saying she had been “my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished”. Earlier this year, on his 100th birthday, Mr Carter received a private congratulatory message from the King, expressing admiration for his life of public service.

She even had to fight to take her newborn home from the hospital. The Victorian mum has spent years researching and implementing new strategies to improve Angel's mobility and independence. She found horse riding to be the most effective therapy for helping Angel physically and inspiring his confidence and understanding of his potential. Now, Angel is having the adventure of a lifetime. He and his mum and her 14-year-old god-daughter, Iluka Thieme, with four horses and an assistance dog called Celeste, are horseback riding the National Trail, this week stopping in Canberra for Christmas. Angel Cropley on his horse Pippin with mum Sascha Yeomans at one of their stopovers while riding the National Trail, Pegasus Riding for the Disabled in Canberra. Picture by Gary Ramage And, like everywhere else on the National Trail, they have been moved by the kindness of strangers. Pegasus Rising for the Disabled in Holt put them up in a common room, giving them the luxury over the Christmas break of a roof overhead, showers, toilets and a kettle (!) for tea. "What else do you need?" a gleeful Sascha said. And a random encounter at the post office in Yarralumla delivered them a beautiful Christmas lunch with new friends. Angel Cropley, 15, has gained so much confidence horse riding on the National Trail he's now talking about travelling overseas with friends one day. Picture by Gary Ramage Sasha had sent ahead a box of dehydrated food to the post office in Yarralumla and got talking to a local woman, Tash Leonard, when she went to pick it up. "She asked us what we were doing for Christmas and we said we didn't have plans; she invited us for lunch with her family, which was amazing," Sascha said. "We've had just so many kind offers." Sascha, Angel and Iluka had Christmas lunch in Yarralumla with Tash Leonard and her family after Tash met Sascha in the local post office. Picture supplied Persistent rain in winter played havoc with the horses' hooves and the little party stayed for two weeks at the showgrounds in Taralga, north-east of Canberra, so the horses could rest and heal. "Somebody put a notice on their community Facebook page, and I think the whole town turned out. People just came past with meals and wines and coffee and wood and meat. So much meat! It was incredible," Sascha said. On an earlier visit to Canberra, they had also tried to connect with the Kambah Pony Club to find a place to stay, but couldn't find any contact numbers or get any responses from emails or social media messages. "Then this car stopped by the side of the road, and it was this young woman and she went, 'Oh you've got horses, what are you doing?' So we told her what we were doing and that we were hoping to stay at the Kamba pony club and she said, 'Oh, my mum's the secretary, I'll bring the key around, just message me when you arrive'," Sascha said. "And it just feels like the whole trail has been like that. "Every day you are walking into the unknown and every morning there is that little anxious feeling of, 'What are we going to face? and 'What's ahead"'. And, every day, unexpected doors open and it's incredible." Sascha Yeomans (right) with son Angel Cropley, 15, and god-daughter Iluka Thieme, 14, at Pegasus in Canberra this week during a break from their horse riding adventures. Picture by Megan Doherty The National Trail runs along the Great Dividing Range, covering 5330km from Healesville in Victoria to Cooktown in Queensland. The trail follows old stock routes and bush tracks as well as cutting through private property. Former National Party member for Monaro, Peter Cochran, one of the volunteer trail coordinators, also invited Sascha, Angel and Iluka to stay on his property in the Snowy Mountains, which includes part of the trail. Sascha, who is from Beechworth in Victoria, has been preparing Angel for the ride for six years, gradually getting him used to horses and being in the saddle solo. As puberty hit, Angel was facing musculoskeletal-skeletal issues that his mum wanted to do "everything to prevent", including scoliosis . Ahead of riding the trail, mother and son rode the 480km Tasmanian Trail, from Devonport to Dover, raising more than $16,000 for Riding for the Disabled Australia. They have now been riding the southern parts of the National Trail, on and off, over the past year. Six hours in the saddle every day riding the trail has strengthened Angel, both physically and mentally. And he's progressed in leaps and bounds. From hardly balancing on the horse to being able to get up in the saddle by himself and then ride for hours "In Kosciuszko, he was off the lead, normally I lead him, and he was rising trot for three or four hours of the day and singing loudly. I never would have thought that was possible. Unbelievable," Sasha said. "Angel's walk has also improved dramatically. It was actually the Children's Hospital in Melbourne that first suggested we try horse riding to improve a whole lot of issues that were going on. And it's been better than we ever imagined. Not just physically, but emotionally. Learning how to put animals first and take responsibility for things." Angel and his horse Pippin. Picture by Gary Ramage Angel has also grown in confidence and is now talking about one day traveling to Europe with Iluka. "I think being a disabled person in a regional area like we were, you're very limited," Sascha said. "This has given him such a sense of the world being possible." The dog, one of the horses and Angel all have satellite tracking collars on them in case were lose them. - Angel's mum Sascha Yeomans After Canberra, they are heading north, taking each day as it comes, but then taking a break for the hottest part of summer, resuming in autumn. "If we could ride the whole of NSW, that would be good. We'll go into Queensland and see. I'm not thrilled with crocodiles," Sascha said, with a laugh. "But we might just get in the groove." The little party is heading north after Canberra. Picture by Megan Doherty The ride takes enormous preparation and planning by Sascha and her husband, Tom, who coordinates it all from back home in Victoria. That includes making sure Angel, who has a big appetite, remains well-fed. Amazonia protein powders ended up as a sponsor, helping them keep up Angel's energy. Sascha also sends ahead boxes of freeze-dried meats and dehydrated vegetables from Campers Pantry to various locations on the trail. She and Angel have, over the years, also learnt how to do a myriad of practical things, from how to tie a good knot to put together a light pack. And Sasha works hard to prevent, as much as possible, anything from going wrong on the trail. "Safety is so important," she said. "We've got packs on every horse, not just one horse. Every horse has some form of shelter on them and some form of food for a night or two. And some form of warmth on them. And we've all got backpacks that have compasses and water and first aid, snake bandages, whistles, an emergency SOS device. "The dog, one of the horses and Angel all have satellite tracking collars on them in case were lose them. The horses have bells on them at night. Our whole campsite is reflective and high-vis." The travelling party includes Celetes the dog, four horses, Sascha and her son Angel and god-daughter Iluka. Picture by Gary Ramage Sascha, like any teenage boy, is not one to heap praise on his mum. But it's clear he loves his "fun" mum. "She's a good mum," he said. And Iluka will soon be heading back home to resume school. "It's been so incredible to be on this journey with people I love," she said. They're also very appreciative of the help they received from Pegasus. Pegasus Riding for the Disabled in the ACT has for decades known the joys and benefits of horse riding for people with disabilities. The much-loved organisation will in 2025 celebrate its 50 th birthday, the first meeting of the association that would become Pegasus taking place in June, 1975. Pegasus CEO Matt Watson said it was more than happy to help Angel, Sasha and Iluka - and their horses and Celeste the dog - have a place to stay at its Holt headquarters over Christmas. Mr Watson actually met Sascha at a conference a year ago. "Once I heard about what they were doing, I said 'Make sure when you get to Canberra you come and say g'day'," he said. "It was fantastic talking to them and hearing about their trip. I think it just shows, again, the magic of horse riding and how it can open up a new world for people with disabilities."

Here’s introducing the inkPhone duo, a smartphone concept with a regular OLED display on one side and an E Ink display on the other that appeared recently on . The front OLED display fills up the entire front which makes for zero bezel depth along all sides, save for slightly thick margins all along. The display is also shown to feature a unique slide-to-hide front camera system. Once the camera is hidden, the OLED display is uninterrupted. A similar slide-to-open feature is also available for the rear camera. Once deployed, it makes the display seem stretched to the edges. How the slide-to-open and slide-to-hide feature works is anybody’s guess. The feature has not been discussed in detail in the video, which is why you must take it with a bit of salt. Remember that such concept phones appear occasionally, only to disappear as soon as they arrive. That said, one can’t rule out the potential of dual-sided phones that are conventional on one side and sport an e-paper display on the other. We have had phones like the Yota phone that boasted a similar design. The benefits of such a design are manifold. You get the best of both worlds. While you have a regular smartphone on one side, the e-paper display on the other means it can be used as a mini e-reader device for reading e-books or other documents. Since there is zero power drawn for showing a static image, you can always have an image displayed, which can be your favorite picture, a ticket, or an important document you wish to be reminded of. Only time will tell whether the inkPhone Duo is the next wonder device or a fad. With a keen interest in tech, I make it a point to keep myself updated on the latest developments in technology and gadgets. That includes smartphones or tablet devices but stretches to even AI and self-driven automobiles, the latter being my latest fad. Besides writing, I like watching videos, reading, listening to music, or experimenting with different recipes. The motion picture is another aspect that interests me a lot, and I'll likely make a film sometime in the future.New Delhi: Manmohan Singh, who is credited with successfully anchoring the sinking ship of the Indian economy by ushering in bold economic reforms under Prime Minister P V Narasimha Rao, died at the age of 92 on Thursday. When Singh took the reins of the Finance Ministry in 1991, India’s fiscal deficit was close to 8.5 per cent of the GDP, the balance of payments deficit was huge and the current account deficit was close to 3.5 per cent of GDP. To make things worse, foreign reserves were just enough to pay for two weeks of imports indicating that the Indian economy was in deep crisis. Against this backdrop, the new economic era was brought in through the Union Budget 1991-92 presented by Singh. It was a turning point in the economic history of independent India which witnessed bold economic reforms, abolition of licence raj and opening of many sectors to private players and foreign players so that capital could flow in. He is credited with putting India on the new economic policy path which allowed Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), rupee devaluation, moderation in taxes, and privatisation of public sector companies. His role in ushering in a comprehensive policy of economic reforms is now recognized worldwide. “I present to you the budget of 1991-92”, Singh had said when he stood to present the iconic union budget that took the Indian economy into the direction of liberalisation, globalisation and privatisation. The budget marked a significant shift towards a markets-focused economy. This paved the way for rapid economic growth in the decades that followed. “No power on Earth can stop an idea whose time has come,” Singh had said, as he concluded his Budget speech. Under his tenure, the regulations on import and export were relaxed, and significant changes were made to cater to the needs of businesses. The initiatives taken during his tenure resulted in monumental growth of the services sector especially IT and telecom. On the capital market side, the establishment of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) in 1992 was another highlight of his regime. He continued as the Finance Minister till 1996, when the Rao government was voted out. Singh got another chance in May 2004 to serve the country, this time as the Prime Minister of India. He replaced Atal Bihari Vajpayee as the 14th Prime Minister of the country. In the new avatar, Singh carried forward the ideas of economic liberalisation in 1991 as this path was now tried and tested. In 2007, India achieved its highest GDP growth rate of 9 per cent and became the second fastest-growing major economy in the world. During his tenure as Prime Minister, the Mahatma Gandhi National Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) was enacted in 2005 to deal with rural distress and perk up income. Indirect tax reforms were introduced by ushering in the value added tax, replacing sales tax. Besides, a Rs 76,000 crore farm debt waiver and debt relief scheme was implemented across the country which benefited crores of farmers. He also steered the nation during the 2008 global financial meltdown and announced a huge stimulus package to deal with the situation. Aadhaar was introduced through the Unique Identification Authority of India during his tenure as prime minister for targetted subsidy transfer. Direct Benefit Transfers for many schemes were announced under his leadership. He also promoted financial inclusion in a big way and many bank branches were opened during his tenure as the Prime Minister. Other reforms like the Right to Food and the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act were enacted during his regime.

Lockerbie families furious over new Colin Firth TV drama and fear it will ruin 36-year fight for justiceWith each team coming off a come-from-behind win, West Virginia and North Carolina Central square off Tuesday night in Morgantown, W.Va. West Virginia (6-2) has won two straight games and is in the midst of a 16-day, four-game homestand that kicked off with a 73-60 win over Georgetown in the Big 12-Big East Battle on Friday night. North Carolina Central (4-7) comes off a 78-77 road win over Gardner-Webb on Saturday night. Javon Small led the Mountaineers with a game-high 26 points against Georgetown as they overcame a second-half deficit with a decisive run. "The way we played in the second half (against Georgetown), I'll take that team everywhere," West Virginia coach Darian DeVries said. "You have to be able to do that every single night, every single possession you don't always get to go on a 16-0 run to pull you out of it. That's where we are still growing as a team." Eduardo Andre was questionable for the Georgetown game after he missed the Mountaineers' 83-76 overtime win against Arizona on Nov. 29. But the fifth-year senior center returned with four points, three rebounds and four blocks. "It was good to have him back in the lineup for a reason," DeVries said. "That presence, especially defensively and the ability to block shots, that's a huge deal for us." Against Gardner-Webb, Po'Boigh King led NCCU with 28 points, well above his 17.4 points per game average, as the Eagles rallied from a 17-point second-half deficit to win on a late 3-pointer from Isaac Parson. On offense, the Eagles take care of the ball. They are seventh in the nation in turnover margin at plus-7.5 per game. They seek extra possessions on defense and are second nationally with 18.9 turnovers forced per game "We're good enough, we just need to fine tune some things," NCCU coach LeVelle Moton said. "We've got to cross some T's, dot some I's and close. We can't be a really good basketball team until we get the mindset that when winning time presents itself in the last five minutes, (the other team) has to earn it." --Field Level Media

By LISA MASCARO and FARNOUSH AMIRI WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard faced fresh scrutiny Monday on Capitol Hill about her proximity to Russian-ally Syria amid the sudden collapse of that country’s hardline Assad rule. Gabbard ignored shouted questions about her 2017 visit to war-torn Syria as she ducked into one of several private meetings with senators who are being asked to confirm Trump’s unusual nominees . Related Articles National Politics | Trump promises to end birthright citizenship: What is it and could he do it? National Politics | Trump has flip-flopped on abortion policy.

In some states, legislatures are working to undermine the results National Politics | Trump taps his attorney Alina Habba to serve as counselor to the president But the Democrat-turned-Republican Army National Reserve lieutenant colonel delivered a statement in which she reiterated her support for Trump’s America First approach to national security and a more limited U.S. military footprint overseas. “I want to address the issue that’s in the headlines right now: I stand in full support and wholeheartedly agree with the statements that President Trump has made over these last few days with regards to the developments in Syria,” Gabbard said exiting a Senate meeting. The incoming president’s Cabinet and top administrative choices are dividing his Republican allies and drawing concern , if not full opposition, from Democrats and others. Not just Gabbard, but other Trump nominees including Pentagon pick Pete Hegseth, were back at the Capitol ahead of what is expected to be volatile confirmation hearings next year. The incoming president is working to put his team in place for an ambitious agenda of mass immigrant deportations, firing federal workers and rollbacks of U.S. support for Ukraine and NATO allies. “We’re going to sit down and visit, that’s what this is all about,” said Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., as he welcomed Gabbard into his office. Meanwhile, Defense Secretary pick Hegseth appeared to be picking up support from once-skeptical senators, the former Army National Guard major denying sexual misconduct allegations and pledging not to drink alcohol if he is confirmed. The president-elect’s choice to lead the FBI, Kash Patel , who has written extensively about locking up Trump’s foes and proposed dismantling the Federal Bureau of Investigation, launched his first visits with senators Monday. “I expect our Republican Senate is going to confirm all of President Trump’s nominees,” said Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., on social media. Despite widespread concern about the nominees’ qualifications and demeanors for the jobs that are among the highest positions in the U.S. government, Trump’s team is portraying the criticism against them as nothing more than political smears and innuendo. Showing that concern, nearly 100 former senior U.S. diplomats and intelligence and national security officials have urged Senate leaders to schedule closed-door hearings to allow for a full review of the government’s files on Gabbard. Trump’s allies have described the criticisms of Hegseth in particular as similar to those lodged against Brett Kavanaugh, the former president’s Supreme Court nominee who denied a sexual assault allegation and went on to be confirmed during Trump’s first term in office. Said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., about Hegseth: “Anonymous accusations are trying to destroy reputations again. We saw this with Kavanaugh. I won’t stand for it.” One widely watched Republican, Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa, herself a former Army National Guard lieutenant colonel and sexual assault survivor who had been criticized by Trump allies for her cool reception to Hegseth, appeared more open to him after their follow-up meeting Monday. “I appreciate Pete Hegseth’s responsiveness and respect for the process,” Ernst said in a statement. Ernst said that following “encouraging conversations,” he had committed to selecting a senior official who will “prioritize and strengthen my work to prevent sexual assault within the ranks. As I support Pete through this process, I look forward to a fair hearing based on truth, not anonymous sources.” Ernst also had praise for Patel — “He shares my passion for shaking up federal agencies” — and for Gabbard. Once a rising Democratic star, Gabbard, who represented Hawaii in Congress, arrived a decade ago in Washington, her surfboard in tow, a new generation of potential leaders. She ran unsuccessfully for president in 2020. But Gabbard abruptly left the party and briefly became an independent before joining with Trump’s 2024 campaign as one of his enthusiasts, in large part over his disdain for U.S. involvement overseas and opposition to helping Ukraine battle Russia. Her visit to Syria to meet with then-President Bashar Assad around the time of Trump’s first inauguration during the country’s bloody civil war stunned her former colleagues and the Washington national security establishment. The U.S. had severed diplomatic relations with Syria. Her visit was seen by some as legitimizing a brutal leader who was accused of war crimes. Gabbard has defended the trip, saying it’s important to open dialogue, but critics hear in her commentary echoes of Russia-fueled talking points. Assad fled to Moscow over the weekend after Islamist rebels overtook Syria in a surprise attack, ending his family’s five decades of rule. She said her own views have been shaped by “my multiple deployments and seeing firsthand the cost of war and the threat of Islamist terrorism.” Gabbard said, “It’s one of the many reasons why I appreciate President Trump’s leadership and his election, where he is fully committed, as he has said over and over, to bring about an end to wars.” Last week, the nearly 100 former officials, who served in both Democratic and Republican administrations, said in the letter to Senate leaders they were “alarmed” by the choice of Gabbard to oversee all 18 U.S. intelligence agencies. They said her past actions “call into question her ability to deliver unbiased intelligence briefings to the President, Congress, and to the entire national security apparatus.” The Office of the Director of National Intelligence was created after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to coordinate the nation’s intelligence agencies and act as the president’s main intelligence adviser. Associated Press writer Stephen Groves contributed to this report.
