Bayan al-Hinnawi, who spent years behind bars in Bashar al-Assad's Syria, joined crowds in the heartland of the Druze minority on Friday to celebrate the president's fall, "a dream" come true for the former prisoner. Hundreds of people descended on Sweida's main square, singing and clapping in jubilation, just days after Islamist-led rebels took the capital Damascus, sending Assad fleeing. The Druze-majority city in Syria's south has been a focal point of renewed anti-government demonstrations over the past year and a half. On Friday, residents waved Syria's pre-Assad flag of white, green and black with three stars, and raised olive branches in a sign of peace. Some of them have lost family members during the anti-government uprising that began in 2011 and spiralled into civil war. Others, like Hinnawi, had languished in prison under the Assad family's five-decade rule. "It was a dream," said 77-year-old Hinnawi of Assad's ouster. Decades ago, a few years after Hafez al-Assad seized power -- which he later handed over to his son Bashar -- a 23-year-old Hinnawi was jailed. He was released 17 years later. The grey-haired man said he had "dreamed that one day the regime would fall", but did not believe that he would live to see the day. "It's a wonderful sight. Nobody could have imagined that this could happen", he said. But his joy was incomplete, remembering the many who have died in jail. "I wish that those who died when I was imprisoned in Mazzeh or Saydnaya could see this scene," said Hinnawi. Since Assad's fall, rebel forces and residents have broken into both detention centres, freeing political prisoners and searching for long-missing loved ones. Activists and rights groups say the Assad government tortured and abused inmates at both facilities. "I got out when I was 40, I missed out of my whole life," said Hinnawi, who served in the Syrian army before being jailed. Recalling torture behind bars, he said that "no oppressor in history has done what they did to us." Since Sunday, the ousted government's security forces were nowhere to be seen in Sweida, and the office of Assad's Baath party has been abandoned, as have army checkpoints on the road to Damascus. Local armed men are present, but not the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham which spearheaded the rebel offensive against Assad. Siham Zein al-Din, who lost her son in 2014 after he defected from the national army to join rebel fighters, said he had "sacrificed his life... for freedom, for dignity". The family was still searching for Khaldun's remains, said his 60-year-old mother. Like her son, some members of the Druze community took up arms against Assad's forces during the war. The Druze, who also live in Lebanon, Israel and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, make up about three percent of Syria's population, around 700,000 people. Beyond defending themselves from attacks in the areas where they live, Syria's Druze largely stayed on the sidelines of the civil war. Many managed to avoid compulsory conscription since 2011. Residents of Sweida have long complained of discrimination and the lack of basic services. Many buildings in the city are constructed from black volcanic stone that can be found in the area, and its roads have fallen into disrepair. Sheikh Marwan Hussein Rizk, a religious leader, said that "Sweida province has been marginalised" for decades, with most of its residents living in poverty. But, surrounded by the joyful protesters, Rizk said better days may be coming. "Today, we look to the future and ask for a helping hand... Our hand is extended to all Syrians." Next to him, resident Hussein Bondok held up a poster of his brother Nasser, a journalist and opposition activist who was last heard from in 2014 when he was arrested. Bondok, 54, said he believes his brother was likely killed under torture in one of Damascus's prisons. Nasser struggled for freedom, Bondok said. "I want to congratulate him now, because the seeds he had planted with his brothers-in-arms has become a tree." lk/ami/itReport: Leadership needed to address quantum threat mitigation

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — The Miami Dolphins were ready to deal veteran defensive tackle Calais Campbell to the Baltimore Ravens ahead of the Nov. 5 trade deadline until Mike McDaniel stepped in. “I may or may not have thrown an adult temper tantrum,” Miami's coach said, confirming the news first reported by NFL Network Sunday morning. The Dolphins were 2-6 and had lost three straight at that point. They'd played four uninspired games without their starting quarterback, going 1-3 after Tua Tagovailoa went on injured reserve on Sept. 17 with a concussion. Campbell would have had a chance to rejoin the contending Ravens, and Miami would have received a 2026 fifth-round pick in return, NFL Network reported. McDaniel argued that Campbell was too valuable to lose. “I was happy that they brought me into the conversations," Campbell said after Miami's 34-15 win over the New England Patriots . “They didn't have to say anything to me at all. We had a really good conversation about what we think about this team, where we are. We felt like we had a good shot to get back into the fight.” Added McDaniel: “I think it wasn’t like it was (GM) Chris (Grier) versus me. ... That’s the tricky thing about Chris’ job is he has to look long-term and short-term at the same time, what’s the best for the organization.” Campbell, a 17-year veteran, signed with the Dolphins after playing for Atlanta last season. Players and coaches have praised the 38-year-old's contributions on the field and in the locker room. “There’s no one’s game I’ve come to respect more than Calais up front on the D-line,” defensive tackle Zach Sieler said, “being with him this year and just the energy, the attitude and the mindset he brings every week. It can’t be matched, and that’s the reason why he is who he is today and doing what he’s doing at 17 years.” Campbell leads the team with four sacks. With back-to-back sacks in Weeks 10 and 11, he became the eighth player 38 or older to record sacks in consecutive games since the 1970 merger. He also has nine tackles for loss, giving him at least five tackles for loss in 15 of his 17 seasons. He played for Baltimore from 2020-2022, totaling 11 sacks and 113 tackles. “I think he means a great deal to not only the defensive line room, but the entire defense as well as the entire team,” McDaniel said earlier this week. “It’s rare for a guy to get here when he did, and then be voted, with such conviction, captain. I think the way that he operates to be a pro, I think has had a substantial impact on a lot of players that hadn’t been fortunate enough to be around someone with sustained success like he’s had.” The Dolphins have won three straight games since the deadline. Miami's defense held the Patriots scoreless until the fourth quarter on Sunday. Campbell broke down the team's pregame huddle as he has done before most games this season. He was also seen coaching up rookie linebacker Chop Robinson, who is always seeking pointers from the six-time Pro Bowler. “My job is to speak on behalf of what’s the best thing for the 2024 Dolphins,” McDaniel said. “I’m just fortunate to work in an organization where myself and the GM can be transparent and work together. “And he didn’t want to see any more adult temper tantrums.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFLRepublicans rally around Hegseth, Trump's Pentagon pick, as Gaetz withdraws for attorney general

has made it much easier to tell which case is which, either upon arrival at the airport carousel, or out in the field. Given that these are authentic Pelican cases, products sold through ColorCase are of the same quality and exceptionality as any other case bearing the Pelican name. Of course, this includes Pelican's lifetime warranty. ColorCase provided me with two cases to test. ColorCase had no input on this article, and no advance copy of this article was provided to ColorCase. I tested the larger Pelican 1595 Air ColorCase in trekking green with orange handles and latches. I also tested the carry-on sized Pelican 1535 Air ColorCase, in deep pacific with teal handles and latches. The new 1595 Air is a beast of a case. Positioned between the carry-on size and the largest checked baggage size, the 1595 was large enough for me to load all of my electronic gear for a headshot shoot in one case. Despite the fact that I jammed the case full of gear, I appreciate how light the Air versions actually are. I could easily roll it from location to location or check it with an airline. If I'm traveling by air, the case protects my gear, while its light weight means I can pack more options for each shoot without overweight fees. Given how much I'm traveling with my gear, this provides me with much-needed flexibility. The 1535 Air is designed to be the perfect carry-on. The original 1510s are quite heavy, weighing in at 12 lbs. The empty case alone takes up a good chunk of my carry-on allowance. The 1535 Air, on the other hand, is only 8.7 lbs. This means I can get more into my case. On my part, I'm fitting in an extra Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 in here. It seems that every single check-in desk employee at every airline is aware of how heavy Pelicans can be. I've never managed to get a Pelican by without a weigh-in. Using the 1535 Air gives me confidence that I'll be able to get my gear on board with me, where I can treat it with care if necessary. Pelican is proud of their super-light proprietary HPX Polymer that allows their cases to be light and crush-resistant. Pelican is known industry-wide for their robust cases. I work in extremely taxing environments. Some days I'm shooting in Canada's sub-Arctic, other days I'm somewhere below the Antarctic Circle, while other days see me in the middle of an African rainforest. Flying around the world with my gear for work is made much simpler with the Pelican Air cases. I can depend on their robustness while taking advantage of the lighter weight construction to pack more gear. The new Air cases also come with "Press and Pull" latches. I rarely use locks on my checked bags; if someone wants in, they'll get in. I do put zip ties on my cases as a minor deterrent. That said, the two-step process required to open the latches and then open the case means that an accidental spill is less likely. The 1595 comes with five of these multi-step latches. With this kind of security, there is only the smallest chance that this case will be opened accidentally by luggage workers at the airport. As I've mentioned before, I work in wet and very demanding environments. These Pelicans are certainly rain-resistant. Pelican Air cases are built with o-rings meeting IP67 ratings, sealing the contents of your case for up to 30 minutes while it's submerged in just over 3 feet of water. Related to the water resistance, there is also a pressure equalization valve on each of these Pelican cases. I didn't realize the value of this feature until we were out shooting and the temperature and related pressure changed significantly. I heard my case hiss. This hissing equalization protects the waterproof value of the case. So, you can dunk me and my case in 90 degrees, and you can also dunk me in the Churchill River with the polar bears right around 30 degrees. If I wanted, I could even jump into an Antarctic polar plunge below freezing with my case. If I wanted. The IP67 rating also means that the cases will protect your gear from dust, making them ideal for both transportation and storage in dirty environments. Offering a wide variety of colors and the ability to mix and match your case with different color latches and handles makes pulling my case out of a lineup fast and efficient. Of course, a fluorescent orange case is going to attract the wrong attention in airports around the world. So, ColorCase offers a variety of muted but still distinguishable colors. You can also choose the typical Pelican black and accent your case with a unique handle and latch set. Unique is easier to see than the ubiquitous black. I feel this also provides me with a bit of extra security, as I can distinguish my cases in a pile of other Pelicans from a distance. This means I can tell if someone is rooting around in my now-unique case instead of their own. That being said, if you're using your case for storage or for local shooting, there are some wildly fun colors to choose from. The oxblood is striking a particular aesthetic chord, reminding me of my teenage and Doc Martens years. I really liked the three handles on the larger 1595. I could pick my case up from almost any direction and easily maneuver it into the back of my car using three different touch points. The three handles also allowed me to get a better grip and secure my case more than a typical one- or two-handled large-sized case. The 1535 has two handles. As a smaller case, it doesn't really need three handles. The main suitcase handle is robust and allows for a good ergonomic grip. However, the vertical handle is much narrower and bites into my hand when I'm packing a heavier load. I understand that this handle is narrower than the vertical handle on the traditional 1510 to save weight, but I'd rather have a few extra grams and a more robust and ergonomic handle. These aren't cheap cases. But it does bring to mind the often-repeated advice: buy something cheap and buy it twice. Given how sturdy these cases are, they're a buy-it-once type of investment. These are clearly expensive, but they will last. Perhaps you're not ready to go and buy a whole new series of cases. Thankfully, ColorCase has a huge selection of colored handles and latches to personalize your case. You can quite easily install these on a typical black Pelican and make your case easy to identify.
