Allegheny County Council member proposes tax-hike compromise as deadline approachesJammu, Dec 29: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha today attended the Annual Day function of Jammu Sanskriti School “Karmanya-The Power of Good Deeds”, at General Zorawar Singh Auditorium, Jammu University. In his address, the Lieutenant Governor extended his felicitations to the school management, teachers and students on its annual day. Over the years, many eminent teachers and educationists have contributed to high reputation the Jammu Sanskriti School enjoys today. It is an occasion to remember all of them with gratitude, he said. The Lieutenant Governor highlighted that the prime objective of school education is to ignite the intellectual capacity of children. “The future of a nation is decided in school campus. The overall goal of our education system is to provide unique opportunity to every unique personality so that they can create something new and contribute to nation building with their unique talent,” he said. The Lieutenant Governor emphasized the role of teachers and educational institutions in developing a conducive environment to boost the confidence of the students and motivate them to continue their quest to learn new skills. “In today’s era of rapid change, when new technological advancements are taking place every day, only one skill will be relevant in the future and that is – Lifelong Learning Skill,” the Lieutenant Governor said. He observed that the primary and secondary education is an interesting phase of positive change in a student’s life. He said, this is the time when knowledge and influence around affects his mind and body. Whatever a child learns in this impressionable age stays for long years. It is during this period when a child develops instincts to make decisions and the sense of understanding between good and bad, right and wrong. Our focus should be to develop primary and secondary education as per the needs of the modern world, he added. On the occasion, the Lieutenant Governor gave seven resolutions to the educational institutions across the UT of J&K to adopt new technologies in education, focus on both knowledge and values and to stimulate students’ intellectual capacity. “The first resolution is to make the digital learning system interactive and encourage children to actively participate in the learning process. We must focus on one-to-one mentoring instead of information delivery, and offer field experience to students outside the classroom. Teachers must share their life experiences with the students, encourage them for data interpretation and problem solving, and provide them with the freedom to explore new ideas. Our focus should also be on project-based learning so that children develop the ability to use their skills in different situations. The seventh resolution is to ensure regular training and capacity building of teachers and provide them the opportunity to learn new things continuously,” the Lieutenant Governor said. The Lieutenant Governor further impressed upon the youth to imbibe the ideals of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan and Dr APJ Abdul Kalam. National Education Policy 2020 is a great opportunity for you. Kindle the curiosity within you and discover new frontiers in real life through independent thinking, creativity and problem solving, he said. The Lieutenant Governor felicitated the students who excelled in academics and diverse fields. He also released the latest edition of school magazine. Prof Manoj Singh Gaur, Director, IIT Jammu; Sh Harpreet Singh, Chairman, Jammu Sanskriti School; Ms. Rohini Aima, Principal of the school, teachers, students and parents were present. Ramesh Kumar, Divisional Commissioner Jammu; Sachin Kumar Vaishya, Deputy Commissioner Jammu, heads of various institutions and senior officials of Civil and Police Administration were also present on the occasion.fc188 xyz 。

Forge Institute Launches Phoenix Xcelerator to Scale Growth of Defense Tech StartupsPORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A businessman with no experience in public office is taking over as mayor of Oregon’s biggest city as it embraces an entirely new system of government — one that’s so different, the City Council chambers had to be completely renovated. Portland voters last month elected Keith Wilson, a trucking company executive and founder of a nonprofit working to increase homeless shelter capacity. He ran on an ambitious pledge to end unsheltered homelessness within a year and will be sworn in Thursday alongside a council expanded from five seats to 12. Portland is contending with homelessness, public drug use and a rising cost of living. Wilson, a Portland native, plans to reach his goal of ending unsheltered homelessness by increasing the number of nighttime walk-in emergency shelters in facilities such as churches and community centers. His message appeared to have resonated in a city where surveys conducted over the past few years have shown that residents view homelessness as a top issue. He ran against three outgoing City Council members. The mayoral race , which featured 19 candidates, was thrown open when Mayor Ted Wheeler decided against seeking reelection after holding the city’s top post since 2017. Wheeler rose to national prominence in 2020 as nightly protests erupted on Portland streets and around the country in response to the police killing of George Floyd . The field of candidates in council races was crowded as well, with nearly 100 running for the new seats that were elected by voters in individual districts rather than citywide. The 130-year-old City Hall was renovated for $8.3 million to accommodate the increase in members. The new dais can now seat 12 people; floor layouts were changed to create more office space; and technology, seismic and accessibility updates were added throughout the building. “Remodeling council chambers is a once-in-a-generation activity,” Maty Sauter, director of Portland’s Bureau of Fleet and Facilities, told the outgoing City Council as it held its last meeting on Wednesday in the new chambers. “We’ve been able to reuse this 1895 facility and make it modern, contemporary and useful.” It’s going to take time for the new government to figure out which of the many changes are working, said Chris Shortell, associate professor of political science at Portland State University. In another first for City Hall, Wilson and the incoming Council members were elected under Portland’s new system of ranked-choice voting . A candidate would win if they were the first choice of more than 50% of voters in the first round. Otherwise, a second round would eliminate the candidate with the fewest votes and their supporters’ votes go to their next choice. The process would repeat until someone emerges with a majority of votes. Some 34% of voters ranked Wilson as their first choice, according to final results. The new City Council will hold its first meeting in January.Bishop Amat got the splash hire it wanted, naming one of its all-time greats, Kory Minor, to be its next head football coach on Monday, the school announced through a press release. “Coach Minor shares the vision of Bishop Amat’s administration and athletic department to elevate the program to new heights,” Bishop Amat president Richard Beck wrote. Minor graduated at Bishop Amat in 1995 and was recruited by Lou Holtz to Notre Dame, where he played from 1995-98. He was a seventh-round draft pick in the 1999 NFL draft by the San Francisco 49ers and played 30 games in four seasons for the Carolina Panthers. While at Bishop Amat Minor was one of the top linebackers in the country, and named to the school’s Hall of Fame. Minor won a CIF-SS Division 1 championship with Amat in 1992 and his 1994 squad was ranked No. 1 in the country before a loss to Mater Dei in the Division 1 championship game. Minor, who played with other Amat greats like Daylon McCutcheon and Ralph Brown II, had 20 1/2 sacks his senior year and was named the USA Today defensive player of the year. Former coach Steve Hagerty resigned last month after 17 years at the school . Hagerty’s team’s won five league championships and he finished with a 118-6-1 record. But back-to-back losing season’s for the first time in Amat history steered Hagerty to walk away, saying, “I no longer believe I’m the guy.” Amat was 2-8 this past season and missed the playoffs. “Steve Hagerty is a phenomenal man,” Minor said. “He mentored many kids who have gone on to do big things. I’ve got big shoes to fill, but we’re going to get to work.” Hagerty’s decision to leave opened the door for Minor, who has long coveted this opportunity and who Bishop Amat targeted immediately. “It’s crazy, my mom has been praying for this for 20 years, she’s so excited,” Minor said. “For me it means a lot. I went to Amat as a young man and the community of Amat, the coaching staff at Amat and the administration all prepared me. I left my senior year as a man and that got me ready for Notre Dame in many aspects.” Minor’s only stint as a high school coach came at St. Margaret’s Episcopal in San Juan Capistrano, where he coached five seasons and led them to four CIF-SS playoff appearances , including the Division 9 championship game in 2021. Minor stepped down following the 2022 season. This past season Minor coached the freshman football team at Charter Oak, where his son Julian Minor was a freshman on the team. Minor said he will leave it up to his son Julian whether he stays and Charter Oak or transfers to Bishop Amat to join him. But Minor admitted, even while at St. Margaret’s where he got his first taste as a high school head football coach, he always hoped this day would come. “For sure, I wanted it to be the right time, and it was the right time and the whole process was seamless,” Minor said. “I’m thankful, honored and have had alumni and friends blowing me up around the country. I’ve got coaches calling me, texting me who want to come play for me and be part of this. I just fee like this was all part of God’s plan.” Bishop Amat is not the powerhouse that Minor remembers in the 1990s. Amat’s last championship came in 1995 and the closest they came since to a Division 1 title was in 2014, when it reached the semifinals. “I’ve been watching, I know what’s been going on here, we’re a proud football family and we talk,” Minor said. “We will get it right, I know we will. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t meant to be. We will have some growing pains but I think we can get back to the 90s when Amat was standing room only.” During the interview process with Bishop Amat’s administration, Minor said they talked about the financial commitment and the commitment from administration that would be necessary to surround himself with a staff and be able to attract players that could lift Amat to its storied past. “We had those conversations (with the administration) and every time is was like ‘Kory we know and Kory we Know.’ That’s why we wanted you,” Minor said. “It’s going to take all of us working together and having the same goals to turn this around.” Minor said the next steps of putting together a staff and vision for his players is what he is relishing. But he also knows the rebuild will not be easy. “Anything that’s worth doing well is challenging, it’s not supposed to be easy,” Minor said. “I’m going to surround our players with coaches that are great men of character, integrity and inspire, that is what produces winning, and that is what it was like when I was here. “That is a culture that’s proven over and over again. I’m a Lou Holtz guy, he was about builders of men. Three words on that statue at Notre Dame that read ... trust, commitment and love. Those three things powered our success, and it’s on us to pass that along to our young players because it’s about them.” In Minor’s conversations with alumni and friends, they all want the same thing. “We’re proud, we know what it takes, and what it could look like when we get there,” Minor said. “When Bishop Amat is rolling, there is no better place to be in the San Gabriel Valley.”Cyber Monday Samsung deals: Save up to $2,500 on TVs, phones, and more
