- Melting polar ice has counteracted the trend, postponing any decision on a negative leap second by three years.

- Russia and China vetoed a U.S.-sponsored UN resolution on Friday calling for an immediate and sustained cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza to protect civilians and enable humanitarian aid for over 2 million hungry Palestinians.
- The resolution reflected a shift in U.S. stance, diverging from much of the world's push for an unconditional end to the fighting.

- The Security Council had passed two resolutions on the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza, but none had called for a cease-fire.

Quick Glance: Jaguars Signing Former 49ers Player Arik Armstead: Impact and Analysis
- The Jaguars are signing former 49ers defensive player Arik Armstead, as per sources. Armstead was released by the 49ers this week after recording five sacks in 12 games last season.
- Armstead will join the Jaguars' defense, adding to their strong lineup. The 49ers requested Armstead to take a significant pay cut, leading to his release. A trade to Houston fell through, resulting in the acquisition of Collins by the 49ers.
- Expected to play as a 3-4 defensive end for the Jaguars, Armstead has been consistent in penetrating pass plays and solid in run defense. His injury history played a role in the pay cut request and subsequent release from the 49ers.
- Armstead's potential hinges on his health, as injuries have impacted his performance and led to his release. His unique talent and versatility will be valuable if he can regain full health and maximize his defensive capabilities.

Quick Glance: 49ers Ownership Transition: Jed York to Lead Franchise
- Jed York is on the verge of succeeding his mother as the 49ers’ primary owner, a title change that isn’t surprising after his past 13 years as CEO and face of the ownership group.
- Jed York, 43, has spent nearly 20 years working amid the 49ers’ hierarchy, taking on the CEO role in 2010. Three Super Bowl trips have followed, including last season’s under coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch, who both had their contracts extended prior to the season.
- While Denise DeBartolo York preferred a low-key profile during her tenure, Dr. John York has been a regular presence at games and occasionally at training sessions over the last two decades. However, it has been Jed York who has represented the ownership for almost a decade.
- Following a controversial ownership transfer due to Eddie DeBartolo's legal issues, Denise DeBartolo York became one of the NFL’s pioneering female owners. Among others currently acknowledged as primary or co-owners in the NFL are: Kim Pegula (Buffalo Bills), Virginia Halas McCaskey (Chicago Bears), Dee Haslam (Cleveland Browns), Sheila Ford Hamp (Detroit Lions), Janice McNair (Houston Texans), Carol Davis (Raiders), Gayle Benson (New Orleans Saints), Jody Allen (Seattle Seahawks), and Amy Adams Strunk (Tennessee Titans). According to ESPN, the Houston Texans are also anticipated to seek a transition of primary ownership from Janice McNair to her son Cal.
