The record will show that tight end Trey McBride had a great season, Marvin Harrison Jr. has a promising future, the Cardinals' defense played over its head for much of the year and Arizona was almost a good football team in 2024. Key word — almost. A frustrating stretch continued on Saturday when the Cardinals (7-9) lost 13-9 to the host Los Angeles Rams . Arizona was pushing for a go-ahead touchdown in the final minute, but Kyler Murray's pass took an unlucky bounce off McBride's helmet and LA's Ahkello Witherspoon made a spectacular grab for the interception, snagging the ball just before it hit the turf. “I think we can compete with anybody, but again, that doesn’t count,” second-year coach Jonathan Gannon said. “It’s about winning and losing, you what I mean? I just got to do a better job, but I know they’re doing the right things.” The Cardinals did a lot of things right against the Rams. Despite being eliminated from the postseason, Arizona competed hard. Murray completed 33 of 48 passes for 321 yards and a touchdown — but also had two interceptions. McBride caught 12 passes for 123 yards, including his first TD catch of the year. Harrison had one of his best games with six catches for 96 yards. “I’m going to choose to be positive about it,” Murray said. “I see a light at the end of that tunnel. I think we’re a couple plays away, a couple of plays away from being a 10-win team or right where we want to be, going to the playoffs or winning the division.” The Cardinals' defense played well for most of the game, limiting the Rams to 257 yards. But in the end, it was another loss. The Cardinals have dropped five of six after starting 6-4. “I know we’re close, man, and I know it’s hard to see that,” Gannon said. “For me, that’s hard to take on the chin but we’ll get better from it. We’ll get better.” The Murray-to-Harrison connection was much better on Saturday, producing several big plays. Gannon challenged Harrison to be more physical against opposing defensive backs last week, and the receiver responded, looking much more like the player the Cardinals expected when they selected him with the No. 4 overall pick. “I think the physicality of it, coming from college to the league, guys don’t realize how physical you can be when you get to the league,” Murray said. “He's going to be big time.” After doing a great job of taking care of the ball over the first 11 games, Murray has thrown seven interceptions over the past five. A few of those came in late-game situations when he had to take a chance and force a pass, but it's still not a good trend. McBride had his third 100-yard game of the season, showing sure hands and fighting through contact for extra yards. The third-year player has 1,081 yards receiving this season, becoming just the second tight end in franchise history to exceed 1,000 yards. The other was Hall of Famer Jackie Smith, who had 1,205 yards in 1967. He has 104 catches and is just the 10th tight end in NFL history to top 100 in a season. Arizona's special teams have been very good for most of the year, but Los Angeles' block of an extra point attempt by Chad Ryland in the third quarter proved costly. If the Cardinals had trailed by three points on the final drive instead of four, they would have had the option of kicking a tying field goal in the final minute. RB James Conner tried to battle through a knee injury against the Rams, but gained just 4 yards on the ground. His status for the season's final game is uncertain. LB Joey Blount (ribs) and CB Elijah Jones (ankle) were inactive. 822 — Harrison's receiving yards on the season. That ranks third for a rookie in franchise history behind Anquan Boldin (1,377 in 2003) and Frank Sanders (883 in 1995). Arizona's final game will be at home on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, who are also eliminated from the playoff race.

People thought I only painted horses and lately nudes but this is all wrong. I seek beauty everywhere. I am known as an artist because painting made me famous but there are many other aspects to my life. I am very involved in economics, science and technology. Art constitutes only 10% of my being the rest of me is spread in various other directions. —M.F. Husain Sitting by the atmospherically lit walls of DAG, now adorned with the grandeur of Hussain’s life-size canvases, a young man and woman replicates the lines and forms in their little notebooks. The space, filled with people of all ages reminiscing the times and thoughts that reflected into the maestro’s strokes in varied mediums, becomes a time machine, a place of discourse for generations. This power of convergence is the success of M.F Hussain, appropriately termed by the exhibition as “The Timeless Modernist”. His works can be deciphered by all generations and sensibilities, a juxtaposition of this country’s past and present. His art that reflected life in all of its myriad meanings, of violence and peace, shaped by impulse and autobiography, contributed in an understanding of India that is deeply rooted in its colloquial identity, an antithesis of its colonial past. Born in pre-Independence India, Hussain himself becomes a symbol of the changing times and society; presenting the contradictions and tensions of past and present. Symbolism and metaphors, much like any modernist artist under an oppressive regime or tumultuous time, thus becomes a natural medium of expression for Hussain. Geometric forms, interpreted not only as a signifier as an artist, but with the meticulous calculation of a mathematician, found new meanings as he himself describes in one of his sketches: ‘cowumbrella plus lantern minus a shoe is equal to man plus woman.’ With his profound sensibilities of forms, shapes, symbols, and at the forefront, the Indian-ness in his art, Hussain thus goes on to present a nation’s history in his own, semi surreal form. His willingness for freedom, which made him fin the Bombay Progressive artist’s group, to ‘unBritish Indian art’, creats vivid forms of significant national events, from the Nalli riots in Assam to the Emergency. Portraits of figures who made an impact in his life, from the Mahatma, to Mother Terressa to Indira Gandhi, everyday. Objects, village and city lives, nude bodies, his paintings denote a quest to decipher identity in the artist’s own internal logic. Hussain eliminated and in a way, liberated forms and stories from abundance and extras; he focused on the aura, more than the realism. Going through his paintings, it is hard to pin Hussain on one singular identity. He was a painter of grandiose, yet he possessed subliminal ideas of minimalism. The sketches which he would create spontaneously on a restaurant napkin, calm and fluid, can be seen as a completely different entity of his artistry. The sketches often found their grand presence later when interpretated on a canvas. The female forms, which Hussain had been fascinated with from his days of owning a camera and photographing his maid’s daughter, Butul, finds their presence with depth and vulnerability. His concept of Shakti, which later formulated his sensibilities, making him create his controversial nudes of women, both regular and divine, presents his desire, as well his representation of violence . Hussain’s symbolism, has been of much coding and uncoding. His map contains the tensions of the nation-state. The promise of Independence, the bitter violence of Partition and the communal riots that followed,His horses, claimed by critiques as a bourgeoise element. Horses, being a symbol of the aristrocracy and the ‘other’, which is the oppressive. Yet, his work remains as a material of deciphering when one gets to know the history and upbringing, and ofcourse, his love for cinema which readily shaped his thought. In the seminal exhibition by DAG, “Hussain: the timeless modernist” presents the life of the creator and his changing sensibilities. The exhibition has excerpts from his life, his interests and desires, which is a treasure for any viewer to understand his work. From his days of billboard paintings in the Bollywood, to his poetry, both as words and sketches, to the canvases that depicted war, peace , religion, women and his horses, the exhibition is a capsule of changing sensibilities, time and development, of both a man and a nation.
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stock indexes fell Thursday following some potentially discouraging data on the economy . The S&P 500 slipped 0.5% for its fourth loss in the last six days. It’s a pause for the index, which has been rallying toward one of its best years of the millennium . The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 234 points, or 0.5%, and the Nasdaq composite sank 0.7% from its record set the day before. A report early in the morning said more U.S. workers applied for unemployment benefits last week than expected. A separate update, meanwhile, showed that inflation at the wholesale level, before it reaches U.S. consumers, was hotter last month than economists expected. Neither report points to imminent disaster, but they dilute one of the hopes that’s driven the S&P 500 to 57 all-time highs so far this year : Inflation is slowing enough to convince the Federal Reserve to keep cutting interest rates, while the economy is remaining solid enough to stay out of a recession. Of the two reports, the weaker update on the job market may be the bigger deal for the market, according to Chris Larkin, managing director, trading and investing, at E-Trade from Morgan Stanley. A surge in egg prices may have been behind the worse-than-expected inflation numbers. “One week doesn’t negate what has been a relatively steady stream of solid labor market data, but the Fed is primed to be sensitive to any signs of a softening jobs picture,” he said. Traders are widely expecting the Fed will ease its main interest rate at its meeting next week. If they’re correct, it would be a third straight cut by the Fed after it began lowering rates in September from a two-decade high. It’s hoping to support a slowing job market after getting inflation nearly all the way down to its 2% target. Lower rates would give a boost to the economy and to prices for investments, but they could also provide more fuel for inflation. A cut next week would have the Fed following other central banks, which lowered rates on Thursday. The European Central Bank cut rates by a quarter of a percentage point, as many investors expected, and the Swiss National Bank cut its policy rate by a steeper half of a percentage point. Following its decision, Switzerland’s central bank pointed to uncertainty about how U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s victory will affect economic policies, as well as about where politics in Europe is heading. Trump has talked up tariffs and other policies that could upend global trade. He rang the bell marking the start of trading at the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday to chants of “USA.” On Wall Street, Adobe fell 13.7% and was one of the heaviest weights on the market despite reporting stronger profit for the latest quarter than analysts expected. The company gave forecasts for profit and revenue in its upcoming fiscal year that fell a bit shy of analysts’. Warner Bros. Discovery soared 15.4% after unveiling a new corporate structure that separates its streaming business and film studios from its traditional television business. CEO David Zaslav said the move “enhances our flexibility with potential future strategic opportunities,” raising speculation about a spinoff or sale. Kroger rose 3.2% after saying it would get back to buying back its own stock now that its attempt to merge with Albertsons is off . Kroger’s board approved a program to repurchase up to $7.5 billion of its stock, replacing an existing $1 billion authorization. All told, the S&P 500 fell 32.94 points to 6,051.25. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 234.55 to 43,914.12, and the Nasdaq composite sank 132.05 to 19,902.84. In stock markets abroad, European indexes held relatively steady following the European Central Bank’s cut to rates. Asian markets were stronger. Indexes rose 1.2% in Hong Kong and 0.8% in Shanghai as leaders met in Beijing to set economic plans and targets for the coming year. South Korea’s Kospi rose 1.6% for its third straight gain of at least 1%, as it pulls back following last week’s political turmoil where its president briefly declared martial law. In the bond market, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose to 4.33% from 4.27% late Wednesday. AP Business Writers Matt Ott and Elaine Kurtenbach contributed.Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, died on Sunday at the age of 100 — the first president ever to live to be a centenarian. Carter had turned 100 on Oct. 1, more than four decades after leaving office in 1981, having served one term in the White House — a period defined by economic woes at home, a valiant effort to bring about Middle East peace, and the hostage crisis in Iran. Get the Full Story Carter’s son, Chip, said that the former president and Georgia governor had died in his Plains, GA home on Sunday afternoon, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution . Jimmy Carter had spent the last several years in hospice care, and was preceded in death by former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, who died last year; they had been married 77 years. A Washington outsider, Jimmy Carter was elected president in 1976, narrowly beating President Gerald Ford just two years shy of the Watergate scandal that led to the resignation of Richard Nixon. But as president from 1977 to 1981, Carter struggled to deal with Congress, a sign of his political inexperience. His presidency was marked by stagflation: a toxic mix of high inflation, stagnant growth and persistent unemployment. Tensions in the Middle East further eroded his support. The 1979 Iranian Revolution led to sharp increases in energy costs and the infamous hostage crisis. The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan contributed to the atmosphere of chaos in Carter’s final year in office. Carter’s defeat in a landslide loss to Ronald Reagan in 1980 was humiliating. A post-political life in obscurity might have been expected. And yet, the opposite occurred. A legacy that outweighed his presidency James Earl Carter’s long post-presidency arguably achieved more than his presidency, which became bogged down in economic malaise and foreign policy reversals. As president, Carter’s greatest achievements came in his efforts to implement a human rights-based foreign policy. He continually put his own political well-being on the line to pressure US allies to improve their human rights records, as well as return the Panama Canal from US control. Arguably his greatest achievement was the Camp David peace accords, which established “normal and friendly relations” between Israel and Egypt after 31 years of warfare and hostility. Historian Richard Perlstein described Carter’s efforts: he knew just when to risk a scathing remark and when to say nothing at all; when to horse-trade and when to hold fast, ever reassessing the balance between the visionary and the pragmatic. Once free from the pressures of being president, Carter’s skills in foreign affairs flourished, working assiduously for human rights and peace, especially in the Middle East. In 2002, he won the Nobel Peace Prize for his “decades of untiring efforts” to find peaceful solutions to international conflict. Carter is one of only four US presidents to win the prize and the only one to win it after leaving office. Recently, the Carter Center in Atlanta, another of his legacies, called for a ceasefire in Gaza and noted that Carter would be on the plane to try and secure one if his health permitted it. Today, Carter’s Middle Eastern efforts – while certainly not perfect, given the intractability of the challenges – stand the test of time and remain especially relevant. Building on important environmental work as president, Carter installed the first solar panels at the White House and saved millions of acres in Alaska from development. This was long before climate change was widely recognized. For more than 40 years, Carter was also a stalwart of Habitat for Humanity, a charity that builds free houses for needy working families. In the early 1980s, he gave the group “national visibility”, an outcome that helped it expand internationally. This was well before housing affordability became a major political issue. Carter also strove to remove the stigma associated with mental illness, again long before such efforts were common. A former peanut farmer from Georgia, Carter’s post-presidency is distinctive in other ways. Most former presidents retire to live in luxury in Washington DC, New York or on private estates in the country. Carter, however, went back to Plains, GA, the small town (population 776) where he and Rosalynn had grown up. Carter has decreed that upon his death, the “modest” ranch house that he built there in 1961 will be gifted to the US National Park Service. The planned museum will showcase the house’s ordinariness; it is a typical example of the brick homes built by millions of Americans after World War II. Strong Christians, the Carters lived for decades among the citizens of Plains, going to church and mingling with the community. When Rosalynn died in 2023, the funeral was held at the local Baptist church, not in Washington DC. The entire town turned out to watch the procession. Presidents, first ladies, governors and senators were in the congregation, but only pastors, family and friends spoke. Carter’s survival is also notable. He has been in “end-of-life” hospice care at home for almost two years. In the US, the average stay in such care is 70 days. Carter’s family publicized his condition partly to break taboos about death and provide support for the millions around the world whose loved ones are in hospice care. Although frail, the former president had no underlying conditions; ahead of the Nov. 5 presidential election, his family reported that he was looking forward to voting for Democrat Kamala Harris, who lost the election to Republican Donald Trump. A man who lived the first 40 years of his life in a racially segregated southern state, with most adult black people unable even to vote, has witnessed tremendous social change. Carter may not have been the best politician, but his fundamental decency is an important legacy. Even his opponents could agree on that. According to James Fallow, a former aide who wrote an important account of the Carter administration, the 39th president had admirable personal qualities. Fallow described Carter as “disciplined, funny, enormously intelligent and deeply spiritual.”Bankability, procurement, patents and optimisation: Energy-Storage.news Guest Blog picks from 2024For as brilliant as the human mind can be, there are still limitations that hinder the potential of our brains. The most baffling instance of our mental shortcomings is related to how we think. Despite the brain boasting billions of neurons that dictate our every move, humans have a surprisingly constrained thought process, and scientists may now have answers to explain this mystery of human inefficiency. A new study recently published in the journal Neuron has quantified the speed of human thought, demonstrating an anomaly in brainpower. The study comes from the California Institute of Technology, where researchers working in the laboratory of biological sciences professor Markus Meister study neuronal circuits — in other words, groups of interconnected neurons that communicate with each other, facilitating functions of the body and mind. The Limit Behind Our Thoughts In the study, graduate student Jieyu Zheng examined scientific literature on human behaviors from reading and writing to solving Rubix cubes, crossing this analysis with knowledge of information theory — a mathematical field focusing on how information is processed, stored, and transmitted. The study reveals that humans think at an average speed of 10 bits per second . The curious part of this rate, though, is that the individual neurons in our brains (over 85 billion total) are technically powerful enough to process information much faster than 10 bits per second. Yet, the researchers discovered that the brain limits the speed of thought processing. The rate of thought processing is also much slower than our bodies’ sensory system, which acts 100 million times faster according to the researchers. The chasm between thought processing speed and sensory processing speed in humans raises many questions for neuroscientists. While our sensory system processes thousands of inputs simultaneously, we cannot have more than one concurrent thought going through our mind at any moment. But why is this? Read More: How Our Brains Organize Abstract Scientific Concepts How Our Slow Thoughts Evolved The study suggests that our brains came to work this way through evolution. The first animals to develop nervous systems — likely during the Ediacaran period, 635 million years to 543 million years ago — would have used their brains to navigate, moving toward food or away from predators. These behaviors fit with the idea that humans simply needed to follow a single path forward, or adhere to one thought, at a time. Although it may seem counterintuitive, the sluggish speed of our thoughts may have arisen simply because it was enough for our ancestors to survive. Because the environment around us often changes at a rather leisurely pace, the 10-bits-per-second rate of thought processing has been suitable for decision-making throughout the centuries. Can Humans Multitask? Humans are not the multitasking masters we often think we are. As one 2019 study puts it, the brain does not contain the neural “building blocks” to engage in more than one task at the same time. Instead, the brain rapidly switches between two tasks rather than actively pursuing both at once. Before the brain moves from one task to another, it can prepare itself and anticipate when a switch is going to occur. Task-switching can also fluctuate depending on the intensity of the tasks. Something that requires a lot of focus, for example, will render a person less ready to switch tasks. Switching tasks requires an associated cost that slows us down and adds more time to the completion of a task. Several experiments have demonstrated that people are slowed down when they have to switch between multiple tasks. So when we multitask, it may seem like an impressive strategy, but it usually impacts our performance in a negative way. Read More: What Happens in Your Brain When You Make Memories? The Brain-Computer Problem Zheng and Meister’s research casts doubt on ambitious technological concepts that have proposed a link between brains and computers. Knowing the limited rate of thought processing in humans, it appears that implantable brain-computer interfaces would not necessarily accelerate the brain’s rate of communication, according to the new study. Looking forward, though, the researchers are more concerned with taking a deeper look at the mechanics of the brain to understand why it can’t handle more than one thought at a time.
