While its usually a 50% chance a team will win in PKs, the Bruins were 100% this year, going 4-0 in extra kicks heading into the Class 1A boys soccer state title game Saturday. The Bruins outlasted Forest Park in penalty kicks 3-1 to win the school’s first state championship in any sport. Bethany Christian junior goalkeeper Jacoby Reinhardt made three-straight saves, putting his team in position to win. Along with the aforementioned semistate win, he had two stops in a regional semifinal win over Westview. “It was just such a great team goal,” Bethany Christian coach Tony Janzen said.

This coal, a resource long recognised for its untapped potential, may just hold the key to a brighter future. This development is undoubtedly a game-changer, with far-reaching implications for Pakistan’s energy security and food production. To move forward, the government should focus on developing a comprehensive coal gasification policy. A collaborative approach will not only ensure a smooth transition but also pave the way for an integrated strategy to capitalise on Thar coal’s potential. The time for action is now, and the potential is too significant to ignore.

So he would use it working on issues related to community, not for personal concerns. The officers travel extensively within the country and go abroad using government facilities or fully funded programs, yet on return they claim TA/DA. In the absence of effective and just tax collection system, the country continues to plunge into chaos and poverty. For example, millions of vehicle taxes are collected in cities every day. It is only through course correction that we can save ourselves from disaster.

Pakistani currency maintained its downtrend for the fourth consecutive day on Thursday but it resisted larger losses, signalling that the market would stabilise around Rs280 against the US dollar in inter-bank dealings. The uptick in demand for the US dollar and the downtick in foreign currency reserves came after the government let foreign companies send profits and dividends to their headquarters abroad. Market talk suggests that the demand for dollars surpassed their supply because the foreign currency was required to pay for imports and repay foreign debt. In open market, the rupee remained unchanged at Rs282/$ for the second consecutive day, according to the Exchange Companies Association of Pakistan. Besides, the rupee depreciation and uptick in gold demand forced the pricing committee to revise up the rate.

In a surprising move, Indian actor Kangana Ranaut has openly displayed her support for Israel. This move has ignited a new wave of controversy amidst the ongoing wave of attacks by Israel on Palestine. This comes at a time when many right-wing Indians have already been vocal about their support for Israel on social media. As the world watches these events unfold, Ranaut's public endorsement of Israel has drawn both support and criticism. A translation of her text in Hindi further reads, "Today the whole world, especially Israel and India are fighting their war against terrorism.

Cameron Parker (@camerondparker) - I’ll say the secondary because I think the Longhorn's run game will be good enough for Maalik or Arch to lean on. I think they’ll be able to handle BYU without Watts, Catalan, and Barron but Kansas State could be a real problem. Sark said on Thursday that Maalik Murphy will be the starter against BYU with Ewers officially out. Will Texas avoid an upset to BYU or will the ghost of Taysom Hill plague the Longhorns?

The year 1949 marked a crucial turning point when the United Nations passed a resolution laying the groundwork for the settlement of this protracted conflict. The United Nations Commission for India and Pakistan (UNCIP) played a pivotal role by adopting resolutions on August 13, 1948, and January 5, 1949. Thousands of Kashmiris, including prominent leaders like Masarrat Aalam Butt, Shabbir Ahmad Shah, and Aasiya Andrabi, are unjustly detained in Indian prisons, while the rest suffer under the weight of Indian state terrorism. The UNCIP resolution of January 5, 1949, authorised the people of Jammu and Kashmir to hold a free and UN-supervised plebiscite. Jammu and Kashmir is now undergoing a disturbing transformation into an Indian settler-colonial and apartheid project, mirroring the Israeli model.
