Jayden Daniels' Change in Physical Appearance Turns Heads at Commanders Practice
Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels was amazing in 2024, completing 331 of 480 passes for 3,568 yards, 25 touchdowns, nine interceptions and a 100.1 passer rating. Combining that with his 891 rushing yards and six touchdowns, it's not much of a surprise that he wound up winning Offensive Rookie of the Year and being named to the Pro Bowl. Advertisement Daniels even led the Commanders to the NFC Championship Game, losing to the Philadelphia Eagles 55-23. It was still the furthest they had advanced in the playoffs since winning the Super Bowl at the end of the 1991 season. Now, it's clear the team is ready to get back to work for 2025, and on Thursday, the Commanders' official X page posted photos of several players at voluntary organized team activities (OTAs), with one featuring their star quarterback. The photo quickly caught the attention of many fans, who believe Daniels looks much bulkier and stronger compared to last season. "JD5 looks like he put on some size," said one comment. Advertisement "Yea he put on some wait and muscle," said another. "JD5 beefed up. League be on notice," a third added. A fourth stated, "Yea man. Dude looking swole. Love it. He said it after the season that putting on weight was going to be a focus. Looks like the young man hit his goal." "Yeah 5 has definitely been in the Weight Room," a fifth continued. "Jayden actually putting work in at the weight room?? Let's go," said another. Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden J.

Lower House passes laws on electricity, civil aviation, women's affairs, virtual assets
AMMAN — The Lower House on Monday passed the 2025 electricity draft law, introducing stricter penalties aimed at curbing violations and unauthorised use of the national electricity system. Under the new legislation, individuals found guilty of illegal electricity connections or aiding in theft of power will face prison terms ranging from one to three years, in addition to fines between JD5,000 and JD10,000, Al Mamlaka TV reported. The law also stipulates fines of JD500 to JD1,000 for encroachments on designated electrical easement zones, with increased penalties for repeat offenders. Property owners will be held accountable for such violations unless they can provide evidence implicating a third party. A new provision criminalises the unauthorised storage of energy beyond limits set by the Energy and Minerals Regulatory Commission (EMRC), with violators facing one to three years in prison or fines between JD100,000 and JD200,000. Additionally, tampering with or removing seals from electricity meters or switches installed by licensed distributors, when done with intent to steal electricity, will carry penalties of one to two years' imprisonment and fines ranging from JD2,000 to JD7,000. The law aims to protect the integrity of the national grid and reduce electricity theft, which continues to pose a significant challenge to Jordan's energy sector. The Lower House on Monday also approved the 2024 draft public statistics law and the 2025 amendments to the Civil Aviation Law, endorsing changes introduced by the Senate earlier this month. One of the key amendments to the Public Statistics Law grants non-governmental organisations the right to conduct and publish statistical studies for their own purposes, or on behalf of others, provided they obtain prior written approval from the Department of Statistics. The Lower House ratified this provision as part of the revised bill. During their deliberations, lawmakers also recommended that the government adopt clear definitions of statistical concepts to better delineate the roles of key institutions involved in data governance, including the Department of Statistics, the National Information Centre, and the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship. The Public Statistics Law forms a key component of Jordan's broader economic modernisation agenda. It seeks to enhance data collection through administrative records and modern technologies while establishing a national data centre to support evidence-based decision-making with secure, high-quality and accessible information. MPs approved the amended Civil Aviation Law, which grants the Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission (CARC) sole authority to approve or reject land-use plans in and around airports, a power the Lower House had initially proposed be subject to Cabinet oversight. The House also accepted a Senate-endorsed article stipulating that all CARC-issued documents, including licences, certificates, permits, and reports, whether in electronic or paper format, are to be recognised as official. The revised law also aims to bolster institutional governance, clarify regulatory mandates, improve aviation safety protocols, and facilitate international aircraft leasing arrangements. It also ensures that investigations into aviation incidents are conducted independently. The Lower House also approved the 2024 draft law on the National Committee for Women's Affairs, formalising the body's mandate through a 13-article legal framework that ensures its sustainability, independence, and coordination with both government entities and civil society organisations. Established in 1992, the committee plays a key role in advancing the political, economic, and social empowerment of women across the Kingdom. During the session, Speaker Ahmad Safadi and Minister of State Ahmad Owaidi Abbadi commended the Legal Committee for its efforts in refining the draft. He also emphasised the importance of clarifying that senior appointments to the committee are made through a Royal Decree. The Chamber also referred the 2025 draft law on the regulation of virtual assets to the Parliamentary Committee for the Digital Economy. The proposed legislation seeks to regulate virtual asset activities, define licensing standards, and align with international norms on anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing. It also outlines the supervisory role of the Jordan Securities Commission over service providers, with the aim of maintaining financial stability while fostering technological innovation. Page 2

Jordan: Cabinet approves pension increase for military retirees, veterans
AMMAN: The government on Tuesday approved an increase in military pensions, setting the minimum at JD350, effective as of the end of this month. The decision, announced during a Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Jafar Hassan, coincides with Veterans Day. The adjustment will benefit some 17,000 retired military personnel at a total cost of around JD5 million, to be financed by the Ministry of Finance's Directorate of Pensions and the Social Security Corporation. It also ensures parity between military pensioners who receive their pensions from the Social Security and those who receive their pensions through the Ministry of Finance. The move corrects a long-standing disparity affecting older military pensioners, whose pensions ranged from JD220 to JD350. As new military pensions already start at JD350, the decision brings older pensioners into line with current standards. Prime Minister Hassan reaffirmed the government's commitment to supporting veterans, recognising their service as an integral part of the nation. He emphasised that they remain a trusted pillar of society and a valuable source of experience, enjoying the full confidence of His Majesty King Abdullah. The government is also working with the Economic and Social Association of Retired Servicemen and Veterans and other institutions to allocate agricultural land and support cooperatives that create economic opportunities for retired military personnel. © Copyright The Jordan Times.

Cabinet approves pension hike for military retirees, veterans
Ammon News - The Cabinet approved a pension increase for military retirees on Tuesday, raising the minimum pension to JD350, effective at the end of the month. The decision is expected to benefit around 17,000 retirees, with a total financial impact of approximately JD5 million dinars, sourced from the Ministry of Finance and the Social Security Corporation. The pension increase will also apply to those receiving pensions through the Social Security Corporation, ensuring fairness for all military retirees, regardless of the system under which they retired. This adjustment addresses long-standing disparities, particularly for retirees whose pensions had been as low as JD220. The new policy ensures that no military retiree will receive less than JD350, aligning both new and previous retirees under the same financial standard. Prime Minister Jafar Hassan reaffirmed the government's commitment to supporting military retirees, recognizing their significant contributions to the nation.
