United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq-UNAMI بعثة الأمم المتحدة العراق

[] United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk: “Human rights don’t change with the seasons, political winds, or trends. They are timeless. In an increasingly polarised world, they help to unite us.

Honesdale Piles Up the Points Against Greater Nanticoke Area

Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Honesdale). They simply couldn’t be stopped on Friday as they easily beat the Greater Nanticoke Area Trojans 56-21. The Hornets haven’t had any issues with the Trojans recently, as the game was their third consecutive victory against them.

Gabe Duda

10/10/25 vs Greater Nanticoke Area 135
10/04/25 vs Lakeland 64
09/26/25 @ Western Wayne 226
09/19/25 vs Valley View 91
09/12/25 @ Mid Valley 86
+ 1 more games

Honesdale was led to victory by Kobe White and Gabe Duda. White rushed for 117 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries, while Duda rushed for 135 yards and one TD on only 13 carries. With that strong performance, Duda is now averaging an impressive 105 rushing yards per game.

They were just one part of a punishing run game: Honesdale was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 370 rushing yards. That’s the most rushing yards they’ve managed all season.

Special teams also deserves some recognition, posting 16 points in total. The biggest highlight from special teams (and perhaps the team as a whole) came courtesy of Duda, who ran a punt back for a touchdown. Another bright spot was a kickoff return touchdown from him.

The win was their first at home , bumping their record up to 3-5. As for Greater Nanticoke Area, they dropped their record down to 0-8 with the loss, which was their sixth straight on the road dating back to last season.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Honesdale will host Dunmore at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. As for Greater Nanticoke Area, they will square off against Wyoming Area at 7:00 p.m. on…

PFL splits from USADA, announces new drug testing partner

PFL and anti-doping program USADA have split.

MMA Junkie confirmed the partnership between the fight promotion and drug testing program is over after several fighters and their teams were notified of their removal from the pool.

“We can confirm the parties have agreed to end the partnership, and we wish PFL, and most importantly, PFL athletes, the best going forward,” USADA said to MMA Junkie in a written statement. “We were honored to serve the athletes with a robust, gold-standard program implemented in the unique tournament style format of the PFL.”

While it’s unclear exactly when the program terminated, tournament athletes were notified in late August.

PFL has replaced USADA with another anti-doping partner, however. The Mohegan Tribe Department of Athletic Regulation, headed by former ABC president Mike Mazzulli, will serve as the promotion’s anti-doping regulator. Mazzulli previously headed Bellator’s anti-doping efforts during its time under Viacom and oversees PFL’s international events.

“This new program reflects PFL’s continued commitment to athlete health, safety, and an even playing field across all competitions including PFL World Tournament, Champions Series, and PFL’s international leagues, PFL Europe, PFL MENA, and PFL Africa,” PFL said in a written statement to MMA Junkie on Monday.”With the expansion of PFL’s global footprint, the organization is evolving toward a single, consistent system for all athletes worldwide under the anti-doping oversight of the Mohegan Tribe Department of Athletic Regulation. This change enables the PFL to implement a robust, unified anti-doping system that ensures fairness, transparency, and global consistency for PFL fighters across all leagues and events.”

PFL hired USADA in July 2023 after a slew of its fighters failed state drug tests in Nevada. The failures resulted in suspensions, fines, and overturned results. It’s unclear if the promotion plans to hire a new independent drug testing program, or if it’ll revert to solely…

There’s no place like home for Wilkes-Barre, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Friday. They blew past the Hazleton Area Cougars 6-2 on Tuesday. Johnny Mendola was a massive factor in the win as he booted in five goals all by himself.

Wilkes-Barre is on a roll lately: they’ve won five of their last six matches. That’s provided a massive bump to their 9-5-2 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 27 goals over those six matchups. As for Hazleton Area, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 2-8-2.

Wilkes-Barre and Hazleton Area could both be facing uphill battles in their next games considering their disadvantage in the MaxPreps Pennsylvania Rankings. The Wolfpack will square off against Lake-Lehman at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday with a big rank disadvantage (155 vs. 46). Meanwhile, Hazleton Area (ranked 395th) will meet Dallas (ranked 100th) at 4:15 p.m. on Friday.

Catskills Folk Connection Honors Indigenous Peoples’ Month with Upcoming Exhibit, Lecture and Workshops

 

A version  of Wilma Cook Zumpano’s beaded and embroidered vase will be featured in Catskills Folk Connection’s exhibit “Indigenous Delaware County: Lenape and Mohawk Fiber Traditions. Photo by Nurddan Zeren. 

ARKVILLE — Learn about early Lenape traditions and modern basketry. Tap into contemporary Haudenosaunee high arts of beading, embroidery and fingerweaving, all presented by Catskills Folk Connection. 

On Friday, October 24, Catskills Folk Connection’s exhibit “Indigenous Delaware County: Lenape and Mohawk Fiber Traditions” will open in the Erpf Gallery at the Catskill Center. it is located at the intersection of State Highway 28 and  County Route 38 in Arkville. Turn up the driveway (past the bronze life-size cow) and proceed to parking in the back or park along Route 28.       

Displays will cover Lenape historical fiber use in structures and other practical applications such as cordage; fingerweaving of traditional Haudenosaunee sashes by contemporary artist Marilyn Isaacs (Tusarora/Mohawk); and raised-bead embroidered cushions, vases, and jewelry by Wilma Cook Zumpano (Akwesasne Mohawk).  There will also be a black ash splint basket that represents the sharing of traditions among Nations by Lenape artist Theresa Johnson. 

Fiber traditions were well-developed by the time the Lenape had contact with Europeans.  Justin Wexler, an ethnoecologist and scholar of Lenape history, traditions and language, will offer an illustrated talk at the Catskill Watershed Corporation’s auditorium,  November 22 at 1 p.m. illuminating the Lenapes’ uses of different native plants in their everyday life. 

On the first two weekends in November (actual days TBD), Wilma Cook Zumpano will be teaching up to seven participants how to create a project in raised-bead embroidery and Marilyn Isaacs will be teaching a similar number of participants to make a miniature fingerwoven project.  We expect to offer short public receptions for the artists at the end of their respective workshops.

Inaugural Homelands PowWow returns Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican celebration to tribal lands

Hugh Kane/The Williams Record

The Homelands PowWow, hosted this weekend at the Darrow School in New Lebanon, N.Y., marked the first powwow hosted by members of the Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican Tribe on their ancestral lands since their forceful expulsion in the late 18th century

Saturday’s main event was Grand Entry, a procession of community leaders,  dancers, and veterans of any service into a central circle where the majority of the powwow’s events took place. Directed by emcees from the Stockbridge-Munsee Reservation in Wisconsin and accompanied by Rez Dogs, a drumming group from Indian Island, Maine, participants processed into the circle, marking the high point of the day. 

According to its website, this year’s Homelands PowWow was intentionally small so as to foster relationships and community that will grow the event into a sustained, annual tradition that celebrates the Stockbridge-Munsee Mohicans. “Our mission is to honor and reconnect the Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican people with their ancestral lands,” the website reads. “Through the annual organization of this PowWow, we raise funds to support travel and lodging for tribal members who wish to return to these sacred homelands. Rooted in tradition, community, and cultural resilience, our work helps ensure that the connection between the Mohican people and their lands endures for generations to come.”

Shawn Stevens, who is the chairman of the Homelands PowWow Committee and a registered member of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans, traveled from Wisconsin to put on the event. Stevens spoke with the Record about the inspiration for the powwow. “My older sister Ginger met with another friend of ours, and they said, ‘Hey, it would be great to have a powwow,’ not thinking much about it,” he said. “But, they were very serious about it, and we talked to a lot of local…

Bert Kreischer Brings Permission To Party World Tour to Mohegan Arena

  

(Wilkes-Barre Township, Pa.) – Known for his larger-than-life personality and outrageous storytelling, comedian Bert Kreischer will bring his Permission To Party World Tour to Mohegan Arena at Casey Plaza in Wilkes-Barre Township on Thursday, April 2, 2026, delivering his signature unfiltered comedy to northeastern Pennsylvania audiences.

Kreischer has built a comedy empire defined by outrageous stories, unfiltered humor, and a personality larger than life. The comedian’s career has evolved from being named Rolling Stone’s infamous “Number One Partier in the Nation” to one of the top-grossing stand-up comedians in the world—and a powerhouse entrepreneur, content creator, and entertainment brand. Named by Forbes as “one of the best storytellers of his generation,” Kreischer has parlayed his signature comedy and authenticity into a dynamic media empire. In 2024, he landed the #6 highest-grossing comedy tour worldwide—despite performing only six months out of the year.

He recently wrapped his sixth Netflix special, Lucky, which premiered in Netflix’s Top 10 Most Watched TV Shows in March 2025. Kreischer’s 2023 special Razzle Dazzle drew more than 8.3 million views in its debut week, following the success of previous specials Hey Big Boy, Secret Time, The Machine and Comfortably Dumb.

Kreischer’s antics blur the lines between comedy and chaos. From out-lifting NFL stars to appearing on WWE Raw, he has built a persona that transcends traditional stand-up. He has also expanded into business empires, including with Por Osos Vodka, and expanded entertainment ventures, with his Sony Pictures film The Machine and upcoming Netflix projects Free Bert and…
