German leader Olaf Scholz frankly admitted that he did not explain well to the citizens of his country how important aid is currently for Ukraine
Points of attention
- Olaf Scholz said that he had not thought through his policy regarding aid to Ukraine.
- Germany and France are forced to cut financial and military aid to Ukraine due to budget deficits.
- Using the example of France's support for Ukraine, it becomes clear how frozen Russian assets are used to provide military aid.
Scholz does not hide his failure regarding Ukraine
During a conversation with the journalists of the Schweriner Volkszeitung, the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany stated that Germans are increasingly interested in issues related to the Russian Federation's war against Ukraine
He also officially confirmed that the question of whether the current level of support to Ukraine is justified is increasingly being raised in certain regions.
According to Olaf Scholz, this is due to the fact that in Germany the topic of the expediency of aid to Ukraine has not been discussed at the public level for a long time.
The chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany publicly admitted that this topic was lacking both in print media and on television and radio.
He also suggested that if the discussion had been conducted more actively, it would have helped to convince more Germans of the importance of supporting Ukraine.
Germany and France reduce support for Ukraine
As analysts note, not only Paris, but also Berlin had to reduce the cost of financial and military aid to Ukraine, which has been restraining Russian aggression for more than 10 years.
Both countries were forced to make these decisions while trying to reduce their budget deficit, which could reach 6% of their GDP in 2024.
It is worth noting that in France, about 300 million euros of military aid for Ukraine is paid from the income from frozen Russian assets. | https://news.online.ua/en/scholz-admitted-his-own-serious-mistake-against-the-backdrop-of-russias-war-against-ukraine-886017/ | 2024-10-15T17:59:18Z |
Donald Trump is ramping up his rhetoric depicting his political rivals and critics as criminals, while dropping a long trail of suggestions that he favors outlawing political speech that he deems misleading or challenges his claims to power.
In a speech Friday in Aurora, Colorado, the Republican presidential nominee blasted the immigration system and lobbed a rhetorical grenade at his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris.
“She’s a criminal. She’s a criminal,” said Trump, who was found guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in his New York hush money trial. “She really is, if you think about it.”
It’s a pattern of messaging that has long been part of Trump’s stump speeches but has escalated significantly in his 2024 candidacy. In the final stretch to the Nov. 5 election, the former president has developed a tendency to claim that speech he disapproves of is illegal, even if it is protected by the First Amendment.
A questionable cut of a “60 Minutes” Harris interview? “Totally illegal,” Trump wrote | https://www.schwartzreport.net/2024/10/15/totally-illegal-trump-escalates-rhetoric-on-outlawing-political-dissent-and-criticism/ | 2024-10-15T17:59:18Z |
Bamuturaki raps Mbarara LCV boss, City Mayor Kakyebezi over Kamukuzi assets war
Amos Tayebwa
Mbarara
The Former Mbarara District LC5 Boss Capt. JB Tumusiime Bamuturaki has broken silence over Kamukuzi property conflicts which have pitted Mbarara City Mayor Robert Mugabe Kakyebezi against Didas Twesigye Tabaro the Mbarara District Chairman LCV.
There has been pulling the rope between the two ever since Mbarara City was created.
Tabaro has always insisted that he cannot leave properties at Kamukuzi hill to be owned by Mbarara City much as they are located in the City boundaries yet they were bought and constructed by the District.
On the other hand, Mayor Kakyebezi has also claimed these assets on grounds that the district is not mandated to own government assets within another administrative unit as long as it shifts to another place.
He further claims that an administrative unit cannot operate into the other. That Tabaro and his staff should go to Bwizibwera and forget the ownership of immovable properties at Kamukuzi hill.
Some of the District administrative staff offices are still occupied at Kamukuzi hill as Mbarara District Headquarters located within Mbarara City.
There are various assets and properties that the district has been fetching a lot of revenue from. Some of the assets which the district Chairman is fighting for to never go into the ownership of Mbarara City include; the building rented by MUBS and MBA, Nganwa Hostel, King of Kings Church area, AMPROC/ UNICEF area among others.
However, during the recent commissioning of the PPDA Building Mbarara Branch at Kamukuzi Hill which was officiated by the State Minister for Finance, Planning and Economic Development Henry Musasizi, the Ex Mbarara District Chairman Capt. JB Bamuturaki called for harmony between Mbarara City and Mbarara District leaderships.
He said that creation of cities in Uganda by the NRM Government is one of the opportunities for the people of Mbarara and Western region.
He revealed that it is mandatory that where the City is created, the district should move away and work from the area where the Government could have gazetted for that particular Administrative Unit.
“As NRM, our focus is to urbanize the rural areas. Having the City it’s an opportunity for our people and it is one of the areas we are trying to support. And it is clear that where the City is created, the District should move away, and I am happy that the Ministry of Finance has allocated funds worth Shs1bn to each district that was cut from the City to make them move and begin the construction of its headquarters.
“Therefore, there shouldn’t be any disagreement between Mayor Kakyebezi and Chairman Tabaro. And moreover these are national policies, it is not going to affect Mbarara alone but it will affect all newly created Cities and the Districts,” said Bamuturaki, former Mbarara District boss.
“As a leader, it’s one of the reasons why I am still praised and respected by the People of Mbarara. During my tenure as the District Chairman, I played my role to ensure that Mbarara is given a regional City, and we ensured that we give some lands to strategic government entities to put up regional Centers like this one of PPDA because we are direct beneficiaries, the City and the District will benefit before others.
“I was focused enough and I was looking at a hundred years to come and you could not hear the disagreements between me and the Mayor because I know the role of the City Mayor and the role of the District Chairman.
“There I call upon the Leaders to always sit together and agree, I must tell you that the Land and structures at Kamukuzi all belong to the government, so as an Individual you come and serve and leave them and someone else will come and serve.
“So I call up on my friend Chairman Tabaro and his staff to stop the war over assets and go to Bwizibwera to serve closer to their people well, ” he added
Bamuturaki said these following the exchange of words happened between the City Mayor Kakyebezi, Didas Tabaro and the newly appointed Ass RDC Mbarara District, during the PPDA function.
During the function, Mayor Kakyebezi appealed to Minister Musasizi to put the government on tension to give the districts money so that they can fully shift and work within their areas of jurisdiction to avoid the alarming conflicts between the City and the District.
He further asked Minister Musasizi and the government not to create more cities.
“When you go to the Cabinet, raise this important issue; that the issues of Cities and Districts in terms of Administration and assets should be sorted. And if you are to create more, at least you begin from an area where you have made a very wrong transition and a very good direction, creating other more Cities will disturb us so much,” said Kakyebezi.
In his Address, Minister Musasizi informed the public that the Government of Uganda has no money to create other more Cities.
“Administrative units don’t give us any money, they simply give us spending pressure on the already constrained resource envelope. Therefore, we are saying some things like creating more new cities can wait. If you want to make Cities, you will have to wait, first of all these existing ones are not yet funded. For instance, Mbarara City is only collecting NTR (Non- Tax Revenue) of Shs 9bn and the government is allocating sh76bn. Therefore, the goal of the government now is to put money where it is most needed,” said Minister Musasizi. | https://redpepper.co.ug/bamuturaki-raps-mbarara-lcv-boss-city-mayor-kakyebezi-over-kamukuzi-assets-war/138257/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=bamuturaki-raps-mbarara-lcv-boss-city-mayor-kakyebezi-over-kamukuzi-assets-war | 2024-10-15T17:59:18Z |

Nothing beats starting your day with a cup of coffee.
According to the Harvard School of Public Health, low to moderate doses of caffeine (50–300 mg) may cause increased alertness, energy and the ability to concentrate. However, higher doses may have negative effects, such as anxiety, restlessness, insomnia and an increased heart rate.
In the Philippines, the coffee culture dates back to 1740, when Spanish colonizers introduced the first coffee tree in Lipa, Batangas. This marked the start of a bustling industry that further established the country as one of the world’s largest producers of coffee.
Celebration of heritage
With October as International Coffee Month, Starbucks Philippines honors the artistry of coffee with initiatives designed to elevate the Filipino experience.
At the recent “Coffee Live,” Kent dela Cruz, Starbucks Philippines 2024 Regional Barista Championship representative, demonstrated the unique pairing of the new blends Starbucks Milano Luna and Starbucks Milano Sole. Inspired by the rich coffee culture, art and design of Milan, these new offerings showcase the same blend interpreted through two distinct roasts: light and dark.
Crafted by master roasters at the esteemed Milano Roastery, Starbucks Milano Luna and Starbucks Milano Sole are a unique pairing of two contrasting cups that embody the duality of tradition and innovation. Starbucks Milano Sole features notes of creamy vanilla custard and sweet pomegranate, while Starbucks Milano Luna celebrates the heritage of Starbucks’ coffee roasting, highlighting bold notes of dark chocolate truffle and roasted black walnut.
These new blends are best paired with a hot chocolate donut and grilled cheese. “When pairing coffee, aside from something sweet, we can also pair coffee with something savory like pasta,” Dela Cruz said.
Meanwhile, Adrian Santos, Starbucks Philippines’ 2023 Latte Art Champion, demonstrated free-form, advanced and art-bar latte creations using the new blends.
“Latte art has always been my passion,” Santos said.
Aside from Milano Sole and Milano Luna, Starbucks Reserve stores will also offer exclusive beverages like Shakerato Bianco, Cold Brew Malt and Classic Affogato.
Home barista
The Covid-19 pandemic brought forth the whipped coffee trend, Dalgona, named after the famous South Korean candy.
As a proud queer home barista, Rizzo Tuazon, aka kape.rt on TikTok, has been making content on the social media platform, sharing everything from recipes and tips to behind-the-scenes content from his day-to-day life.
At a recent workshop, Tuazon demonstrated how to make brown sugar syrup, brown sugar shaken espresso, DIY creamer and a café-level iced latte. The products Tuazon used are available on TikTok.
“Our goal is to help customers shop smarter. We want to make every shopping experience smooth, easy and reliable so that customers can focus on enjoying the holidays rather than worrying about the safety or quality of their purchases,” Franco Aligaen, marketing lead for TikTok Shop Philippines, said. | https://tribune.net.ph/2024/10/15/brewing-the-coffee-culture | 2024-10-15T17:59:21Z |

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — (AP) — Joey Logano hoped he'd done enough to advance in NASCAR's playoffs with an eighth-place finish at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
But when he left the track Sunday night, he was four points below the cutline and eliminated from any shot at winning a third Cup Series title.
Then came the phone calls: inspection was taking a long time and there could be a problem with one of the playoff cars. All Logano could do was wait and wonder if there truly was something amiss with Alex Bowman's car and if it was egregious enough to push Logano into the round of eight.
“NASCAR, man. Expect the unexpected,” Logano said Tuesday. “You just roll with the punches and go with the flow and just continue on. I feel like these days, more and more, there are just crazy things that can happen. I just go with it."
Sure enough, Bowman's car was found to be underweight and he was disqualified. The penalty dropped Bowman in the standings, and as soon as Hendrick Motorsports declined Monday night to appeal, Logano was back in title contention.
“I was honestly surprised. I had heard rumors there was a delay in tech, some of those things going on. But usually nothing happens,” Logano said. “Would be in? That's the first question you have to ask. And then you are still cautiously optimistic, so you just keep going on with your life and prepare for the next race.”
That next race is Sunday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where Logano is a three-time race winner and has started from the pole three different times.
Logano will race over the next three weeks Team Penske teammate and reigning Cup Series champion Ryan Blaney, the Hendrick Motorsports trio of William Byron, Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson, Joe Gibbs Racing drivers Christopher Bell and Denny Hamlin and Tyler Reddick of 23XI Racing for the four spots in the championship-deciding finale.
Should he emerge as the title winner at Phoenix Raceway in November, Logano will be the only active three-time Cup Series champion in NASCAR. Kyle Busch, who did not make the playoffs, is the only active driver alongside Logano with two titles.
Logano said his No. 22 Ford team will not make any changes to its approach as the team heads to Las Vegas, Homestead-Miami Speedway and Martinsville Speedway in Virginia vying for a spot in the finals.
“Same way if we made it any other way, you go out there and attack the positives,” Logano said. "I feel that we've been steadily getting better and improving throughout the season to where we are now. The speed we had at The Roval looked pretty solid to me, to where we are a championship-four caliber race team.
“The stats may not look like it. We may look like we're underdogs from the outside looking in, but internally we feel very confident in our race team that we can make a run at this thing and get us into the championship four," Logano continued. "And we've seen in the past where if you can get in there, anything can happen at Phoenix.”
It starts Sunday at Las Vegas, where Logano won the 2022 playoff race that pushed him to his second Cup title. Larson won last year's playoff race at Las Vegas, as well as the spring race there earlier this season.
But Logano likes his odds now that he's been given this second chance.
“We've done it before,” he said, “we can do it again.”

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has launched an internal investigation into the agency's handling of repeated sanitary violations at a Boar's Head plant in Virginia tied to a deadly listeria outbreak.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said Tuesday that USDA's Inspector General Phyllis Fong is conducting an inquiry into why the deli meat processing plant was allowed to continue operating after federal and state inspectors found dozens of food safety rule violations and reported "disturbing conditions at the plant."
Previously released records revealed officials with the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service flagged issues including mold, insects, dripping water and meat and fat residue on walls, floors and equipment throughout the site.
“USDA took virtually no action — allowing Boar’s Head to continue business as usual at its chronically unsanitary Virginia plant — despite finding repeated serious violations," Blumenthal said in a statement.
The Senator said the IG's investigation will look into whether proper corrective and enforcement actions for reported violations were taken and to assess whether the agency has an effective process to "identify, elevate and address recurring non compliances" in order to reduce the risk of tainted products from entering the food supply.
At least 10 people have died and nearly 60 others in 19 states have been sickened by the listeria strain that was traced back to the Jarratt, Virginia, plant. Illnesses were reported between late May and late August, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported. All of those who fell ill were hospitalized.
In July, the Sarasota, Florida-based company recalled more than 7 million pounds of deli meat distributed to stores across the country. That came days after an initial recall of more than 200,000 pounds of Boar's Head products. Two months later, the company announced on Sept. 13 that it was closing the Jarratt plant and discontinuing production of liverwurst.
At the time, a spokesperson for Boar's Head said in a statement to NBC News that the company "deeply regret[s] the impact this recall has had on affected families." The spokesperson added that food safety is the company's "absolute priority."
According to the documents, the Agriculture Department reported "heavy meat build up" on a hydraulic pump in the plant and on the motor of an inspection line on Aug. 8, 2023, NBC News reported. During an inspection on June 10, inspectors found flies "going in and out" of pickle vats, "small flying gnat like insects were observed crawling on the walls and flying around the room" and "7 ladybugs, 1 beetle like insect, and 1 cockroach like insect" in the same room.

On Jan. 9, "black mold like substance." with some spots being "as large as a quarter," was discovered at the plant, according to the documents.
Inspectors reported four more instances of finding mold, and in one case mildew, in the plant in June and July.
In all, Agriculture Department officials had logged 69 instances of noncompliance with federal regulations at the plant from Aug. 1, 2023, through Aug. 2, 2024.
Boar's Head is facing several lawsuits filed by victims and their families.
Blumenthal and Rep. Rosa DeLauro, also of Connecticut, called on the Agriculture and Justice departments to “work closely” to determine whether to bring criminal charges against Boar's Head in connection with the crisis. It wouldn't be the first time a food-poisoning outbreak resulted in criminal and civil penalties.
In 2020, Chipotle agreed to pay a record $25 million to resolve criminal charges over tainted food that sickened more than 1,100 people in outbreaks between 2015 and 2018. In 2015, former Peanut Corporation of America executive Stewart Parnell was sentenced to 28 years in prison after an outbreak of salmonella in his company's peanut butter killed nine people and sickened more than 700. | https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/national-international/usda-internal-investigation-deadly-boars-head-listeria-outbreak/3574460/ | 2024-10-15T17:59:21Z |
Thomas Tuchel set for face-to-face talks with the FA in London this week as German closes in on England job… with one key attribute winning bosses over
- England are still searching for a permanent successor to Gareth Southgate
- Lee Carsley has been in interim charge of the Three Lions since Southgate's exit
- LISTEN NOW: It's All Kicking Off!, available wherever you get your podcasts. New episodes every Monday and Thursday
Thomas Tuchel is in talks with the Football Association about becoming the next England head coach.
The German is open to becoming Gareth Southgate’s long term successor, it is understood, with discussions towards an agreement said to be active and advanced.
According to a well-placed source further face-to-face discussions are set to take place in London in the coming days in a development that could be crucial towards the FA appointing the former Chelsea boss as their next permanent boss.
The FA have sounded out a number of candidates, including Pep Guardiola and Eddie Howe, over the position as England boss, which is currently Lee Carsley’s on an interim basis.
However, talks between Tuchel and the FA are accelerating and could be wrapped up quickly if the next round of talks go positively amid concrete interest in the Champions League winning boss.
Thomas Tuchel is in increasingly intense talks with the FA about the job of England manager
Tuchel has emerged as the leading contender to succeed Gareth Southgate, who quit in July
England Under 21s boss Lee Carsley has been in interim charge since Southgate's departure
Indeed, the FA will be aware of interest in Tuchel from Manchester United, as they consider Erik ten Hag’s position, which is emerging as a factor.
Losing to Brentford this weekend could have implications for Ten Hag’s position at Old Trafford, with Tuchel expected to be a candidate for the United job if the Dutchman is sacked.
But as things stand, Tuchel is emerging as the front-runner for the England job due to his track record of winning titles, which appeals to the FA.
Indeed, Carsley said this week England needed ‘a world-class coach who has won trophies’.
The fact Tuchel knows English football from his time with Chelsea, and worked with captain Harry Kane at Bayern Munich is an obvious bonus.
If the FA move forward with Tuchel, the fact he is effectively on gardening leave after leaving his previous job with Bayern could cause financial complications.
Tuchel wants to return to work and views the England job as an attractive proposition. The FA have declined to comment.
Carsley is expected to remain in interim charge, as has always been the plan, for the November fixtures versus Greece and Republic of Ireland.
But Mail Sport reported on Saturday night that the FA held major reservations over whether Carsley wants the position on a permanent basis.
Pep Guardiola has been viewed as the FA's dream candidate but there has been little since the intial approach in July
The governing body wanted to review the situation following November’s Nations League matches versus Greece and Ireland.
But there has been internal doubts in recent days over whether Carsley’s appetite for the role following a series of public comments that have been construed as the 50-year-old distancing himself from the full-time vacancy.
Carsley had support at the FA but the sense that he was not fully convinced about taking the permanent reins has led the FA to virtually rule the former Everton midfielder out of the running and move towards making an external appointment.
Guardiola has been viewed as the governing body’s dream candidate but the FA have not received any encouragement from the current Manchester City boss since an initial approach in July. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13963043/Thomas-Tuchel-talks-FA-London-German-England-one-key-attribute.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2024-10-15T17:59:24Z |
According to Serhii Leshchenko, the adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, official Washington is putting pressure on Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyi to reduce the conscription age in Ukraine.
Points of attention
- American politicians expressed the opinion that mobilization from the age of 18 is necessary to win the war.
- President Zelenskyi has not changed his position on this matter.
- Veteran Dmytro "Ivich" Verbych warns that refusal to mobilize may lead to the loss of Ukraine's independence.
What is known about US pressure on Zelenskyi
According to Serhii Leshchenko, he decided to confirm this information, as it recently surfaced.
He also added that American politicians from both parties are putting pressure on the head of state Volodymyr Zelenskyi on the question of why Ukraine is not mobilizing those aged 18 to 25.
How mobilization should work in Ukraine
According to Dmytro "Ivich" Verbych, a veteran of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and a defender of the Donetsk airport, the refusal of Ukrainian men to mobilize at the moment may cost them the loss of independence.
He shared his thoughts on this matter in an interview with Online.UA.
He also added that it is pointless to worry about the fact that someone's psyche is traumatized due to mobilization, because considering what the criminal army of the Russian Federation is doing in Ukraine, the psyche of the majority is already traumatized to a great extent. | https://news.online.ua/en/the-opu-announced-pressure-on-zelenskyi-from-the-us-886016/ | 2024-10-15T17:59:24Z |

Recent developments concerning the procurement of various vessels worth P2.1 billion by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) have revealed significant issues that raise questions about transparency, according to a lawyer.
Lawyer Faye Singson also questioned the failure of the special bids and awards committee (SBAC) for failing to adhere to standard bidding procedures, highlighting further challenges in ensuring a fair and competitive environment for public procurement.
Singson said the absence of SBAC chairperson, Zaldy P. Perez; vice chairperson, Ida T. Capacio, member, as well as other members of the technical working group, caused the postponement of the bidding due to lack of quorum.
Despite the fact that bidding requirements were already submitted last Friday, 11 October 2024, and have remained in BFAR’s custody for four calendar days, the opening of bids was rescheduled again for 16 October 2024, due to a reported power disruption in the BFAR building, Singson explained.
“This raises concerns about the potential for irregularities or manipulation of the bidding process, especially considering that the power disruption seems to have only affected the BFAR building,” she pointed out.
Singson, a former assistant prosecutor of the Office of the Ombudsman, said that while power outages can be unpredictable, the timing of this particular disruption raises questions about the transparency of the procurement process.
She said that it is crucial to ensure that there are adequate backup systems in place to prevent such disruptions from compromising the integrity of public procurement proceedings.
Furthermore, Singson noted, it is important to investigate whether there were any unusual circumstances or prior warnings about potential power issues in the BFAR building that could have led to the rescheduling of the bidding, the lady lawyer added.
The repeated postponements, lack of transparency, and alleged violations of procurement laws suggest that these may not be mere coincidences but rather intentional actions designed to favor certain bidders or to conceal irregularities, she added. | https://tribune.net.ph/2024/10/15/brownout-wipes-out-bfar-bidding | 2024-10-15T17:59:27Z |
Bugisu Cultural leaders salute UBOS for ensus 2024 job well-done
By Evans Najuna
KAMPALA – Bugisu Cultural Institution has applauded UBOS Census 2024 data noting commendable increase in the number of their people. This was revealed during a courtesy call to the Census Commissioner Dr. Chris Mukiza at Statistics House in Kampala. “I want to applaud the Bureau for timeliness in releasing the Census 2024 results.
For long we have always made reference to the Census 2014 figures, however, with this latest information, we can now use scientific evidence to plan better for our people” said Counsel Richard Masereje the Legal brain of Umukhuka who led the delegation. The population of the Bagisu has increased by 448, 767 people in the last ten years. The Census 2014 Final Report puts Bagisu population at 1,647,382 people while the Census 2024 Provisional Results indicates 2,096,149 people.
The team used the opportunity to request for separate results of the Bagasu and the Sebins. Masereje said that they would like to see Elgon as a standalone statistical sub-region without including the other districts of Kapchorwa, Kween and Bukwo. According to UBOS statistical sub-regions, Sebei and Bugiso has always been referred to as Elgon sub-region. The other statistical sub-regions include Acholi, Lango, Ankole, Bunyoro, Toro, Buganda North, Buganda South, West Nile, Bukedi, Busoga, Kigezi, Teso, and Karamoja.
The representatives of Umukhuka further noted that their proposal is timely as UBOS prepares to disseminate the National Population and Housing Census 2024 Final Results in December 2024 as per approved Census Roadmap. The Legal brain said this will ably guide their planning, policy formulation and evidence based decision making for the people of Bugisu. The delegation pledged their continuous support to the Bureau’s work whenever called upon.
Dr. Chris Mukiza was grateful to the Umukhuka for the collaboration and cooperation between the two institutions and most especially, the support rendered to the Bureau during the entire Census 2024 exercise. He noted that all cultural institutions in Uganda are consumers of quality statistical data and information and, therefore, they form part of the Bureau’s stakeholders in the whole statistical value chine. “The Census 2024 data is robust and of high quality, it is time to make good use of this latest statistical data and information. In fact your presence here at the Bureau is a testament of the importance that cultural institutions attach to statistical products”, he emphasized. Counsel Richard Masereje was accompanied by Hon. Vincent Waboya.
According the Census 2024 findings, the total population of Uganda now stands at 45,904,417 people with the females taking a big share of 24,338,681 and males 21,566,736 persons. The population has grown by 11.3 million people between 2014 and 2024 with a population growth rate of 2.9%. His Excellency the President of the Republic of Uganda has always agitated for a bigger population noting the benefits that come with it in relation to the socio-economic transformation of Uganda. | https://redpepper.co.ug/bugisu-cultural-leaders-salute-ubos-for-ensus-2024-job-well-done/138263/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=bugisu-cultural-leaders-salute-ubos-for-ensus-2024-job-well-done | 2024-10-15T17:59:25Z |
'All About It': Jinger Duggar Vuolo Announces Pregnancy; Set To Welcome Third Child With Husband Jeremy Vuolo
Jinger Duggar announced her pregnancy, expecting her third child with husband Jeremy. In a recent interview, she shared her husband and daughters' reactions to the happy news, deets inside!
Television personality and author known for books such as People Pleaser and You Can Shine So Bright is expecting her third child with her husband, Jeremy Vuolo. The announcement was made with pictures from her family photo shoot, showcasing her baby bump. The exclusive pictures, shared with PEOPLE, show Jinger holding a sonogram picture of her third child.
Another picture featured the couple’s two daughters, Felicity, 6, and Evangeline, 3, wearing “big sis” jackets. The Counting On alum spoke to the outlet about how “excited” they are to become a family of five. "We're super excited. I'm actually all about it," she shared.
Moreover, she’s excited about going through her pregnancy during the winter. Jeremy recalled being “speechless” when she told him the news. She made the revelation on one of their daughter’s birthdays by gifting him an Amazon bag. “ So I'm thinking, 'What did she get from Amazon for me?' Then I open it up and it's the positive result, and I'm actually speechless," he recalled. "She got me good.”
Jeremy further quipped that he’s officially on duty as Jinger’s "pickle and frozen fruit, ice cream delivery man." When asked about their plans to expand the Vuolo clan further, Jinger said, “We’ll see.” Initially, she thought she was “set with two,” but they always considered three a good number. "So three or four. I don't know. But I think three is what I'm leaning towards right now," she added.
The couple are thrilled to be parents to two incredible little girls and would be okay with whatever their third child’s gender might be. However, they are admittedly "curious” to be parents of a little boy.
"If it was another little girl, being a girl dad has been incredible,” Jeremy said, adding that they’ll be happy either way. The couple also shared the reactions of their little daughters upon hearing the news.
They got each of them a “big sis” jacket, but they were ecstatic when they understood its meaning. “Felicity started jumping up and down in excitement over the news,” the mom of two recalled. Meanwhile, the younger one was not sure what to make of the news. But Jinger is certain that Evangeline will be all about her new role as big sister once the baby arrives. | https://www.pinkvilla.com/entertainment/hollywood/all-about-it-jinger-duggar-vuolo-announces-pregnancy-set-to-welcome-third-child-with-husband-jeremy-vuolo-1353655 | 2024-10-15T17:59:27Z |
Investors might want to bet on Olo Inc. (OLO), as it has been recently upgraded to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). This upgrade primarily reflects an upward trend in earnings estimates, which is one of the most powerful forces impacting stock prices.
The sole determinant of the Zacks rating is a company's changing earnings picture. The Zacks Consensus Estimate -- the consensus of EPS estimates from the sell-side analysts covering the stock -- for the current and following years is tracked by the system.
Individual investors often find it hard to make decisions based on rating upgrades by Wall Street analysts, since these are mostly driven by subjective factors that are hard to see and measure in real time. In these situations, the Zacks rating system comes in handy because of the power of a changing earnings picture in determining near-term stock price movements.
As such, the Zacks rating upgrade for Olo is essentially a positive comment on its earnings outlook that could have a favorable impact on its stock price.
Most Powerful Force Impacting Stock Prices
The change in a company's future earnings potential, as reflected in earnings estimate revisions, has proven to be strongly correlated with the near-term price movement of its stock. That's partly because of the influence of institutional investors that use earnings and earnings estimates for calculating the fair value of a company's shares. An increase or decrease in earnings estimates in their valuation models simply results in higher or lower fair value for a stock, and institutional investors typically buy or sell it. Their bulk investment action then leads to price movement for the stock.
For Olo, rising earnings estimates and the consequent rating upgrade fundamentally mean an improvement in the company's underlying business. And investors' appreciation of this improving business trend should push the stock higher.
Harnessing the Power of Earnings Estimate Revisions
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock movements, so it could be truly rewarding if such revisions are tracked for making an investment decision. Here is where the tried-and-tested Zacks Rank stock-rating system plays an important role, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions.
The Zacks Rank stock-rating system, which uses four factors related to earnings estimates to classify stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive externally-audited track record, with Zacks Rank #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>.
Earnings Estimate Revisions for Olo
This company is expected to earn $0.21 per share for the fiscal year ending December 2024, which represents a year-over-year change of 40%.
Analysts have been steadily raising their estimates for Olo. Over the past three months, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company has increased 28%.
Bottom Line
Unlike the overly optimistic Wall Street analysts whose rating systems tend to be weighted toward favorable recommendations, the Zacks rating system maintains an equal proportion of 'buy' and 'sell' ratings for its entire universe of more than 4000 stocks at any point in time. Irrespective of market conditions, only the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks get a 'Strong Buy' rating and the next 15% get a 'Buy' rating. So, the placement of a stock in the top 20% of the Zacks-covered stocks indicates its superior earnings estimate revision feature, making it a solid candidate for producing market-beating returns in the near term.
You can learn more about the Zacks Rank here >>>
The upgrade of Olo to a Zacks Rank #2 positions it in the top 20% of the Zacks-covered stocks in terms of estimate revisions, implying that the stock might move higher in the near term.

PHILADELPHIA — (AP) — The Philadelphia Phillies signed manager Rob Thomson to a one-year contract extension through the 2026 season after he led the team to three straight trips to the playoffs.
The 61-year-old Thomson guided the Phillies to the 2022 World Series and the 2023 National League Championship Series and led them this season to their first NL East title since 2011. The Phillies were eliminated in four games by the New York Mets in the National League Division Series.
Thomson's .575 winning percentage is the best for any manager in franchise history. His contract was set to expire after the 2025 season.
“Year by year is good with me,” Thomson said Tuesday of the extension. “I've mentioned many times this is the only place I want to be. This will be my last stop.”
Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said the entire coaching staff — which includes polarizing hitting coach Kevin Long — will return next season, as well.
“Many managers will say it, but I truly believe we have the best coaching staff in baseball,” Thomson said.
Coming off a 95-67 season, Dombrowski made clear he was happy with the direction of the team under the manager affectionately known by his players as Topper.
“I think we have a good coaching staff, primarily,” Dombrowski said during Tuesday's announcement. “They do a very efficient job. They did lead us to 95 wins.”
Thomson has a 280-155 record since the veteran bench coach replaced Joe Girardi as Phillies manager on June 3, 2022.
Dombrowski said it was important for the team not to enter the 2026 season with a lame-duck manager.
“He's done a good job for us, been a very successful manager,” Dombrowski said. “There's been very few clubs in baseball that have made the postseason three years in a row. He has done that. We've been a very good club under his guidance. It's also one where I think stability in the manager's spot, I don't think going into the manager's last year is ever good situation to be in, if you can prevent that from happening. He deserves the extension in that regard.”
Thomson has been with the club since the 2018 season when he was first hired as bench coach under former manager Gabe Kapler.
He spent 28 years as a member of the New York Yankees organization (1990-2017), including 10 seasons on the major league coaching staff as bench coach (2008, 2015-17) and third base coach (2009-14).

Dave Grohl is 'going to therapy to save marriage' amid secret baby scandal
Dave Grohl is reportedly 'going to therapy' in a bid to save his marriage, just a month after dropping the bombshell that he secretly fathered a love child.
Grohl - who was spotted still without his wedding ring in Los Angeles on Monday - is said to be trying everything he can to make things right.
The 55-year-old Foo Fighters frontman, whose 'last-ditch' effort to win back wife Jordyn Blum was recently revealed, appeared somber as he carried an Amazon box up to a home on a quiet, tree-lined street.
To try and make things right, an insider claims to InTouch that Grohl is 'offering up phone text messages and constantly apologizing and going to therapy.'
Adding: 'He's trying to be a good dad but at the same time it's frustrating and he doesn’t understand that these things can take months, even years to fix.'

For his low-key appearance, Grohl sported a casual ensemble—donning a black short-sleeved printed shirt, green shorts, and black sneakers.
He topped off the look with a navy baseball cap and glasses, adding to his laid-back vibe.
The sighting follows news that his band is expected to go on hiatus, with Grohl reportedly taking time to rebuild trust within his family in the wake of the scandal.
The Nirvana founder shocked fans in September when he confessed to his infidelity in a bombshell Instagram post.
Sources say the confession was a 'final effort' to save his 21-year marriage to Blum, 48, with whom he shares three daughters, after she reportedly gave him an ultimatum.
Now, Grohl is said to be focusing all his energy on mending the relationship, making an effort to be present for Jordyn and support her in the daily aspects of their life together.
'He thinks the marriage is salvageable so why not try to fix it?' an insider told the DailyMail.com exclusively.
They said Blum, who admitted to not feeling like she hasn't been his 'number one' in years, gave the rocker a final chance to try and repair their relationship.
'She gave him an ultimatum to figure it out and he wants to regain her trust,' the source continued.
'He has to focus on her, that will be his best chance at getting back to what they had. Dave is focusing on her needs.'
The source added the Grohl initially chose to reveal his extramarital affair, with the intention of staying with Blum.

'Revealing [his affair and baby] in the first place was his last-ditch effort to save the marriage, because Jordyn knew about it well before the world found out,' they explained.
'He would rather remain married.'
Blum reportedly asked her musician husband to put a pause on recording new music and touring so he can focus on his personal life.
Foo Fighters cancelled their set at Soundside Music Festival in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in late September in the wake of the scandal.

Foo Fighters cancelled their set at Soundside Music Festival in Bridgeport, Connecticut, last weekend in the wake of the scandal.
'He can always go back to it if they get better,' the insider said. 'She hasn't felt like she has been number one for a long time.'
Grohl announced in a statement on September 10 that he had welcomed a daughter while vowing to try to 'regain [the] trust' of his wife and their three daughters.
'I've recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage,' Grohl announced to his 1.4 million followers on Instagram. 'I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her.
'I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness. We're grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together.'
The couple share three daughters (L-R) Harper, 15, Ophelia, 10, and Violet, 18 (pictured at the Grammy Awards in 2023)
The Foo Fighters front man announced he had fathered a secret love a child - a baby girl - outside of his marriage in a shocking Instagram statement in September
DailyMail.com previously revealed how in the months leading up to the announcement, a ‘jealous’ Grohl had been grilling Blum on her relationship with her ‘hot’ tennis coach, Christopher Crabb, 54, in what insiders claimed was an attempt to detract from his own indiscretions.
Grohl and Blum met in 2001 and have been married since 2003.
The couple share three daughters: Violet, 18; Harper, 15; and Ophelia, 10.
Blum has been consoled by her close friend Kate Hudson and has had a multi-million dollar offer from a publisher for a tell-all book about her life with the former Nirvana drummer. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-13962399/Dave-Grohl-therapy-secret-child-bombshell.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2024-10-15T17:59:30Z |

The Bureau of the Treasury (BTr) made a full award of its P15-billion reissued 10-year Treasury bonds (T-bonds) in its auction on Tuesday as the average rate declined amid investors’ anticipation of another rate cut by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas.
The BTr said the total bids for the debt instrument reached P40.9 billion or 2.7 times higher than the programmed offer.
The reissued bonds have a remaining term of six years and nine months.
They fetched an average rate of 5.690 percent, down from 6.128 percent the BTr recorded in its auction for the seven-year bond on 13 August.
Compared to the results in the secondary market, the new T-bond rate was also slightly lower than the average rate of 5.70 percent of the comparable bond tenor.
BSP’s policy rate cut
Rizal Commercial Banking Corp. chief economist Michael Ricafort said the new auction results echoed the BSP’s likely reduction of its policy rate on Wednesday.
“The BSP rate-setting is widely expected to be reduced by at least 25 basis points after inflation eased to 1.9 percent in September, slightly below the BSP inflation target range of 2 to 4 percent,” he said.
In its policy meeting in August, the BSP projected manageable risks from inflation as it expected inflation to settle at 3.3 percent this year, 2.9 percent in 2025, and 3.3 percent in 2026 mainly due to cheaper rice.
The government in July started to implement a lower tariff on imported rice at 15 percent from 35 percent.
Ricafort added rates of Philippine government securities could match those of US Treasury yields amid analysts’ projections that the Federal Reserve might tighten its policy rate this year amid Americans’ strong employment and consumption rates.
“There are reduced odds of Federal Reserve rate cuts for the rest of 2024 as priced in by the Fed Fund Futures to 45-basis point reduction versus more than 75 basis points about three weeks ago,” he said.
However, Ricafort said investors and central banks will closely monitor tensions in the Middle East as they threaten to push up prices of oil and other goods.
“Global crude oil prices were among the one-month highs amid increased tensions in the Middle East since 1 October, when Iran made a second missile attack on Israel,” he said. | https://tribune.net.ph/2024/10/15/btr-raises-p15b-in-t-bonds | 2024-10-15T17:59:33Z |
'Isn’t That Devastating?': Gladiator II Star Paul Mescal Reveals How Untrue Rumors Of One-Night Stands Affected His Mom
Gladiator II star Paul Mescal opened up about rumors of his one-night stands affecting his personal life, especially his mom. Scroll down to read what the actor said.
Paul Mescal is clearing the air over the untrue rumors about his alleged one-night stands. In a conversation with GQ Magazine, the Gladiator II actor revealed that the rumors circulating on the internet had taken a toll on him personally, as well as on his mom.
According to reports, the rumors claimed that after spending the night with his partner, Mescal would run off the following morning while the other person was distracted. Addressing the rumors, the Irish native described them as “categorically untrue.”
While talking to the media outlet, Mescal mentioned that he and his siblings couldn’t stop laughing over the video and news circulating around. Speaking about his mom, the actor stated, "The one thing that upset me was that I was in the kitchen; I remember my mom looking at the videos, and she was getting upset." He further asked, "Isn’t that devastating?"
The actor went on to reveal that he understands internet dynamics and shared a good laugh with his siblings. If the rumors had been true, they would have caused problems, but since they weren't, they could easily be laughed off.
Meanwhile, the Normal People actor is currently dating Gracie Abrams. The Hollywood star mentioned that he wants to keep his relationships private and away from the limelight.

He shared, "I mean, the speculation has been kind of mad for the last x amount of years.” Mescal went on to add, "I’m not comfortable inviting any access into that part of my life. How I am in my private life is so precious to me because I get very little of it, and it might be of public interest, but it’s not public-obligated information.”
On the other hand, the Foe actor revealed that his Oscar nomination for the movie Aftersun created a wave of happiness at his home, despite things getting difficult.
Following the actor’s nomination, his sister, Nell Mescal, posted on her social media about the conflicting situations in their family. She wrote, "My mom got a haircut today in prep for her chemotherapy and then Paul got nominated for an Oscar. Life is so crazy."
Meanwhile, on the work front, Mescal is set to appear in the lead role opposite Pedro Pascal in Gladiator II. The movie, directed by Ridley Scott, is set to hit theaters on November 15. | https://www.pinkvilla.com/entertainment/hollywood/isnt-that-devastating-gladiator-ii-star-paul-mescal-reveals-how-untrue-rumors-of-one-night-stands-affected-his-mom-1353648 | 2024-10-15T17:59:33Z |
CONFESSION! Katanga step-sister, a key witness in his murder trial, did not attend his burial
KAMPALA, UGANDA —Naome Nyangweso, the step-sister of the late Henry Katanga and a key witness in his ongoing murder trial, did not attend his burial, sparking questions about her relationship with the deceased.
Court records show Naome claimed she was too distraught but held a parallel gathering at her mother’s residence in Kashari. At this gathering, Naome allegedly made inflammatory remarks about Molly Katanga, Henry’s wife.
Phone logs presented in court revealed Naome and Henry spoke only twice in the two months leading up to his death. One call concerned Henry’s decision to choose cousin Lydia Kabirisi as the paternal aunt (ishenkazi) at his daughter’s wedding.
Under cross-examination, Naome admitted not caring for Henry’s bereaved family after his death. Henry’s phone records, however, showed frequent communication with Molly, with at least two calls daily from September to October 30th.
Defense lawyer Jet Tumwebaze questioned Naome’s decision to testify in Runyankore, despite being proficient in English. Nyangweso had previously issued three police statements in English and serves as the LC1 chairperson for Bugolobi, where English is dominant.
Tumwebaze suggested Naome was feigning ignorance to complicate court proceedings and evade questioning. Nyangweso responded in Runyankole, “I mean what I have said.”
When asked why she only made three statements to police after Henry’s death, despite claiming to know he was in danger, Naome failed to provide evidence of Katanga confiding in her.
The defense alleges Naome presented herself to police as a Katanga family member to inherit Henry’s property. This claim is compromised by Naome’s false testimony in a land dispute case, where she claimed to be the biological daughter of Arthur Edwin Katanga.
The trial resumes tomorrow with Naome facing further cross-examination. | https://redpepper.co.ug/confession-katanga-step-sister-a-key-witness-in-his-murder-trial-did-not-attend-his-burial/138270/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=confession-katanga-step-sister-a-key-witness-in-his-murder-trial-did-not-attend-his-burial | 2024-10-15T17:59:33Z |
PITTSBURGH — (AP) — Russell Wilson's time may be fast approaching in Pittsburgh.
Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Wilson is "in consideration" to be the starting quarterback when the Steelers (4-2) host the New York Jets (2-4) on Sunday night. The 35-year-old nine-time Pro Bowler has spent the past six weeks recovering from a calf injury he aggravated a couple of days before the season opener.
While Tomlin stressed that Justin Fields "has been really good" while filling in for Wilson and the team has "been really good at times," the NFL's longest-tenured coach added that good was "not to be confused with great."
Enter Wilson, who won the starting job at the end of training camp before tweaking the calf less than 72 hours before a Week 1 visit to Atlanta. Tomlin saw enough of Wilson in practice last week to have him serve as the backup behind Fields during a 32-13 win in Las Vegas, and there's a very real chance they could swap roles against the Jets.
“This is a competitive league, man,” Tomlin said. “We’re trying to position ourselves to be that team. And we got a player with talent who hadn’t had an opportunity to play. So we’re going to potentially explore those things.”
Fields has been efficient and occasionally spectacular during his six-week audition. He's also largely avoided the kinds of mistakes that were a common thread during his three years in Chicago, throwing just one interception in 160 attempts. His accuracy, however, had dipped of late. Fields has completed just 57% (29 of 51) of his passes over his past eight quarters, down from 69% (77 of 111) across the opening month of the season.
The Steelers are also 28th in passing and 20th in scoring, riding a soft(ish) early season schedule and a disruptive defense led by All-Pro linebacker T.J. Watt to a tie atop the AFC North with rival Baltimore. After a pair of home primetime games against the New York City area teams — the Jets on Sunday, the Giants on Oct. 28 — the sledding figures to get far heavier once the calendar flips to November and Wilson's resume may be too tantalizing for Tomlin to pass up.
Tomlin cautioned that the decision to give Wilson reps with the first team in practice this week has more to do with Wilson's experience and his resume than Fields' performance.
“Justin has been an asset to us," Tomlin said.
Just not enough of one for Tomlin to definitively hand the starting job to Fields outright. Tomlin declined to get into specifics on how he will divide the practice snaps with the first team and doesn't expect to make a decision on who will start against the Jets until later in the week.
"We’re just going to roll the ball out, let both guys work and make decisions from there," Tomlin said.
Fields' play has allowed the Steelers to bring Wilson — who turns 36 next month — along slowly. Wilson initially injured the calf when the team reported to training camp in July and there was a concern when he aggravated it that it could lead to something more serious.
Wilson has steadily improved and showed Tomlin last week that he could protect himself in practice. The next step will be knocking off whatever rust might remain from a month-plus of relative inactivity, though Tomlin doesn't sound overly concerned.
Whoever the quarterback is will likely be playing behind a seventh different offensive line combination in as many weeks with rookie center Zach Frazier out with an ankle injury sustained against the Raiders. Fields' mobility — he's already run for five touchdowns — has helped offset the constant churn in front of him. That's not a tool that Wilson has had since the height of his “Let Russ Cook” days with Seattle several years ago.
Asked how the offense might change with Wilson behind center, Tomlin smiled and said “it remains to be seen. And I think that’s one of the cute things about this discussion.”
NOTES: LB Nick Herbig (hamstring) will miss his second straight game. ... There's a chance OLB Alex Highsmith (groin), out since a win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sept. 22, could return. ... RB Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) may also be available after missing two games.

NASA’s Europa Clipper probe blasted off from Florida on Monday, bound for an icy moon of Jupiter to discover whether it has the ingredients to support life.
Lift-off aboard a powerful SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket took place shortly after noon (1600 GMT), with the probe set to reach Jupiter’s moon Europa in five and a half years.
NASA later confirmed that it had successfully acquired a signal from the probe and that its massive solar arrays — designed to capture the weak light that reaches Jupiter — had fully unfolded.
The mission will allow the US space agency to uncover new details about Europa, which scientists believe could hold an ocean beneath its icy surface.
“With Europa Clipper, we’re not searching for life on Europa, but we’re trying to see if this ocean world is habitable, and that means we’re looking for the water,” NASA official Gina DiBraccio said ahead of the launch.
“We’re looking for energy sources, and we’re really looking for the chemistry there, so that we can understand what habitable environments might be throughout our whole universe,” she added.
If life’s ingredients are found, another mission would then have to make the journey to try to detect it.
“It’s a chance for us to explore not a world that might have been habitable billions of years ago” like Mars, Europa Clipper program scientist Curt Niebur told reporters, “but a world that might be habitable today, right now.”
At 30 meters (98 feet) wide with its solar panels fully extended, the probe is the largest ever designed by NASA for interplanetary exploration.
Primitive life?
While Europa’s existence has been known since 1610, the first close-up images were taken by the Voyager probes in 1979, which revealed mysterious reddish lines crisscrossing its surface.
The next probe to reach Jupiter’s icy moon was NASA’s Galileo probe in the 1990s, which found it was highly likely that the moon was home to an ocean.
This time, the Europa Clipper carries a host of sophisticated instruments, including cameras, a spectrograph, radar and a magnetometer to measure its magnetic forces. | https://tribune.net.ph/2024/10/15/can-icy-jupiter-moon-sustain-life | 2024-10-15T17:59:39Z |
5 best Netflix films that beautifully explore cultural differences between lead couples
Here's a list of Netflix movies that gave a punch of entertainment while exploring stories through cultural differences between lead couples. Scroll down to find a suitable watch for the weekend.
India is a land of cultural diversity, and Bollywood hasn't been behind in incorporating that beautiful aspect within its films. In many Hindi films, the plot showcases how the lead couple from different cultural backgrounds complete a complex journey for their ‘happily ever after.’
Unlike Hollywood, music, dance, family, and festivals are important aspects of Bollywood. Filmmakers often add the nuances of cultures to enhance their storytelling. Take, for example, the Punjabi-hearted Naina from Kal Ho Naa Ho, who gets married to her friend, Rohit, from a Gujarati family, where the scenes portraying their cultural differences leave us in splits.
Top Netflix films that explore cultural differences between lead couple
1. Kal Ho Naa Ho
Starring Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta, and Saif Ali Khan, Kal Ho Naa Ho gave us an important lesson about living our lives to the fullest. In the film, Zinta plays the role of Naina, who falls in love with Aman, but he, in turn, sets her up with Rohit due to his ill health. The film's complex love story, characters' internal turmoil, and heartbreaking scenes have a special place in our hearts.
However, it also made us laugh when Naina's vibrant Punjabi family came across Rohit's practical and traditional Gujarati family. The subtle tussle between the families over celebrating their cultures makes us appreciate India's cultural diversity and familial values even more.
2. Dil Dhadakne Do
Directed by Zoya Akhtar, Dil Dhadakne Do taught us the importance of family values and understanding among family members. The film, released in 2015, follows the story of a dysfunctional family where a rich couple, Anil Kapoor and Shefali Shah, invite their loved ones for a 10-day cruise to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary.
Apart from the storyline, the cultural differences between characters are a strong point in the film. Ranveer Singh plays the role of the couple's son, Kabir. He belongs to a wealthy family but is forced to leave his dream and manage the family business. In contrast, Anushka, who plays his love interest, Farah, is a more independent and contemporary girl. She is adamant about making her identity and left her home to fulfil her passion. Their different cultural backgrounds yet similar core values make the plot more interesting.
3. Jab Harry Met Sejal
Another gem on the list is Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma starrer Jab Harry Met Sejal. In the film, Khan plays the role of Harinder ‘Harry’ Singh Nehra, a Punjabi tourist guide who works in Amsterdam. He is a lonely and helpful person who is forced to help his client, Sejal, played by Sharma, find a lost ring.
Apart from their different Punjabi and Gujarati cultures, Harry follows a Western lifestyle, while Sejal is a more traditional person who believes in Indian values. As they explore different parts of Europe, their cultural differences and different perspectives make the film an ideal watch. Moreover, the journey gradually leads them to accept each other's cultural backgrounds, setting a perfect example of cultural harmony.
4. Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar
Ranbir Kapoor's last rom-com Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, co-starring Shraddha Kapoor, was loved by the audiences for its plot, romance, and humor. The storyline, which follows the couple's journey from a modern love story to a traditional union, also highlights their cultural differences.
Ranbir plays the role of Rohan, a playful and carefree businessman with a modern viewpoint on love. On the other hand, Shraddha plays Tinni, who is more practical and embodies a traditional perspective on love. She has a job and is more responsible in life, which creates a difference between them. Moreover, Rohan's vibrant Punjabi family and Tinni's pragmatic family create a relatable cultural difference in the couple's journey.
5. Jodhaa Akbar
Jodhaa Akbar, starring Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan, was based on the love story of Mughal Emperor Akbar and his Rajput wife, Jodhaa Bai. The cultural differences between the Hindu queen and the Muslim king in the medieval age are a central theme in the film.
Although their marriage was a political deal, the couple gradually learned to respect and accept each other's culture in different scenes, which makes the film interesting.
Love knows no boundaries, and the lead couple in these films proves that as they overcome their cultural differences for their significant other. From their cultural clashes to their acceptance, these top Netflix films are an ideal addition to your watch list for the next weekend. | https://www.pinkvilla.com/entertainment/news/5-best-netflix-films-that-beautifully-explore-cultural-differences-between-lead-couples-1353659 | 2024-10-15T17:59:39Z |

The Center for Culinary Arts (CCA Manila) is seeing more students from various careers enroll, signaling a shift in the food industry as professionals switch to culinary careers.
Four current students at CCA Manila illustrate this trend:
Ninj Guinti, a former brand officer in the F&B industry, said her job made her realize the creative possibilities in the kitchen. “CCA Manila offers practical insights beyond cooking, like the discipline needed in a professional kitchen,” she shared.
Anton Luna, who has a BS in Management from Ateneo, is one of the growing number of recent grads pursuing culinary training. He highlighted the entrepreneurial side of his goals, saying, “The culinary industry offers so much knowledge that I can now use to run my own restaurant.”
Rennard Jared Benedict Wong, who shifted from medicine to culinary arts, explained that cooking had always been a passion. “I realized I couldn’t be truly happy with cooking just as a hobby,” he said.
Orien Macapagal, who moved from aviation studies to culinary arts due to the pandemic, said, “Cooking helped my mental health during tough times.”
Meeting industry needs
According to Dr. Veritas Luna, CCA Manila chancellor, the school’s curriculum has adapted to the industry’s demands. Their program blends hands-on kitchen training with food service management, preparing students for a range of roles beyond traditional kitchen work.
Many CCA graduates have become restaurant owners, culinary educators and food stylists. Chef John Martho Buenaventura, for instance, is now executive chef at Emirates Flight Catering for VIP Flights.
This influx of career changers could fuel innovation in the growing Philippine food service industry. However, it may also impact industries losing talent to culinary arts, a trend that warrants further research.
CCA Manila’s next student intake is in October 2024. Visit www.cca-manila.edu.ph or follow @ccamanila on social media for more details. | https://tribune.net.ph/2024/10/15/career-shifts-in-filipino-culinary-education-reflect-industry-trends | 2024-10-15T17:59:41Z |
KATANGA MURDER TRIAL: Controversial witness Naome Nyangweso returns to court as defence team pokes her testimony over lies
KAMPALA- Naome Kashani Nyangweso, the ninth witness in the ongoing murder trial of businessman Henry Katanga, is set to face further cross-examination, as the trial resumes at High Court today.
Ms Nyangweso, Katanga’s step-sister, has been at the centre of controversy due to inconsistencies in her testimony.
Defense lawyers have accused Nyangweso of intentionally delaying the trial by choosing to testify in Runyankore instead of English despite being proficient in both languages. This move has raised suspicions, as Nyangweso had previously issued three police statements in English and serves as the LC1 chairperson for Bugolobi, a Kampala suburb where English is a dominant transactional lingua.
During cross-examination, defense lawyer Jet Tumwebaze questioned Nyangweso’s decision, suggesting she was feigning ignorance of English to complicate court proceedings and evade questioning. Nyangweso responded in Runyankole, “I mean what I have said.”
When asked why she only made three statements to police after Henry Katanga’s death, despite claiming to know he was in danger, Nyangweso failed to provide evidence of Katanga confiding in her before his death.
This has led defence lawyers to conclude that her statement was a malicious afterthought, motivated by her alleged dislike of Katanga’s widow, Molly.
Nyangweso also confirmed recording her statements in a bar after 9 p.m., further fueling suspicions.
The defense team accuses her of invoking the Katanga name to gain a share of the estate.
Tumwebaze alleged that Nyangweso presented herself to police as a member of the Katanga family solely to inherit her brother’s property.
Nyangweso has also faced tough questioning over her response to the scene when informed of Katanga’s death. Additionally, in a land dispute case between the late Prince John Barigye and the estate of the late Arthur Edwin Katanga, Nyangweso testified under oath that she was the biological daughter of Arthur Edwin Katanga, which has been proven false.
The defense team has highlighted Nyangweso’s inconsistencies, revealing she has lied under oath about her parentage and alleged meetings with Henry Katanga.
Further questioning is expected today as the defence team takes on Ms Nyangweso, a key witness in the trial. | https://redpepper.co.ug/katanga-murder-trial-controversial-witness-naome-nyangweso-returns-to-court-as-defence-team-pokes-her-testimony-over-lies/138252/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=katanga-murder-trial-controversial-witness-naome-nyangweso-returns-to-court-as-defence-team-pokes-her-testimony-over-lies | 2024-10-15T17:59:40Z |
American figure skater Ilia Malinin has been doing gymnastics off the ice much of his life, one of the many reasons why he can so effortlessly land the dazzling quadruple jumps that made him a world champion at just 19 years old last March.
It is also why Malinin has been able to so seamlessly incorporate the backflip into his program.
Once banned in competition for its inherent danger, the backflip and all other "somersault type jumps" were removed from the restricted list by the International Skating Union after last season. And almost immediately, they began to pop up in lower-level competitions, including the Lombardia Trophy last month, when Malinin landed one on the way to victory.
But what about more important competitions, such as Skate America, which opens the Grand Prix season Friday night in Allen, Texas? Or the world championships in March in Boston, the last one before the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy?
“I’m definitely planning to keep it," said Malinin, the first skater ever to land the 4 1/2-revolution quad axel in competition. “I’m thinking of ways to really level it up as well in the future, like adding a twist or some crazy other combination.”
At the Lombardi Trophy, Malinin landed the backflip late in his free skate, set to “I'm Not a Vampire” by Falling in Reverse. He also landed five quads over two clean programs to outdistance Japanese rivals Yuma Kagiyama and Shun Sato.
“I’ve been doing it off-ice for four or five years now," explained Malinin, who took the backflip to the ice at first by using support ropes to help guide his landing. “I was doing gymnastics and it started to become muscle memory.”
Many skaters, including reigning Olympic champion Nathan Chen of the U.S., have been doing backflips in exhibitions for years. And in January, French skater Adam Siao Him Fa was so far ahead during his free skate at the European championships that he added one to his program, even though he knew it would cost him points.
The most famous backflip in competition came during the 1998 Winter Olympics in Japan. Surya Bonaly, who knew she would finish out of the medals, landed one on a single blade in her free skate — that particularly flip is now named for her.
Skate America is the first of the six Grand Prix events that lead up to the Grand Prix Final in December in France. And with the Winter Games just over a year away, the primary contenders for Olympic medals will begin to rise to the fore.
Russian and Belarusian athletes once again are banned from competing because of the war in Ukraine.
Kaori Sakamoto of Japan, who will begin her season at Skate Canada later in the month, is trying to become the first woman to win four straight world titles since Carol Heiss won five in a row from 1956-60. Scott Hamilton of the U.S. was the last skater to win four in a row, capturing every title from 1981-84.
Worlds runner-up Isabeau Levito will be at Skate America with American teammates Bradie Tennell and Elyce Lin-Gracey, while Alysa Liu — the 2022 U.S. Olympian fresh off a two-year retirement — will open her Grand Prix season at Skate Canada.
Two-time defending ice dance world champs Madison Chock and Evan Bates are back with their eyes on winning their first gold medals in the event at the Milano-Cortina Olympics. The duo were fourth at the Beijing Games. They did finally receive their team gold medals as part of the U.S. squad that were held up by the Russian doping investigation at the Paris Olympics.
“We’re headed for Milan," said Chock, who along with Bates are known for their avante-garde skating style. "We’re still inspired and finding new things in our skating, and it feels great to keep improving.”
Their biggest rivals are Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier of Canada and Charlene Guignard and Marco Fabbri of Italy.
Reigning world champs Deanna Stellato-Dudek and Maxime Deschamps will begin their Grand Prix seasons on home soil at Skate Canada. Their biggest competition will be Japan's Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara, who took silver at worlds, along with Sara Conti and Niccolo Macii of Italy and Minerva Fabienne Hase and Nikita Volodin of Germany.
U.S. pairs champions Ellie Kam and Danny O'Shea will be in the Skate America field this weekend.

Priyanka Chopra makes her 'Bollywood dreams come true' in Switzerland, twirls romantically during snowfall; WATCH
Priyanka Chopra Jonas has finally realized her Bollywood dream of twirling romantically during snowfall in Switzerland. The actress dropped a video doing the same and she is definitely super happy.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas has been in Bollywood for decades and has some of the biggest hits included in her filmography. While she has worked in several movies across genres, it was only recently that she fulfilled her Bollywood dream of romantically twirly in the snow.
Moments ago, global sensation Priyanka Chopra Jonas took to her Instagram stories and dropped a video that definitely made her fans go ‘woah!’. In the clip, she can be seen twirling happily on the snow-covered land, and snowfall makes her video aesthetic and dreamy. In the caption, she penned, “Making my Bollywood dreams come true in Crans Montana, Alpes, Switzerland.”
Take a look:
PeeCee is one B-town star who mesmerized the audience with her beauty and intelligence before stepping into the acting realm. While today she is the undisputed diva of the entertainment world, there was a time when she rocked boy but hair and was a Tomboy. Days ago, she went down memory lane and spoke about puberty, stating that grooming can do wonders for a girl. Sharing a side-by-side picture of her young self along with an image of her 17-year-old self when she won Miss India in 2000, she penned a long post.
Her emotional spot started with a warning that read, “Don’t troll my 9-year-old self.” She added, “So wild to think about what puberty and grooming can do to a girl. On the left is me at my awkward pre-teen era with a “Boy cut” hairstyle so it wouldn’t be cumbersome at school. (Thanks ma @drmadhuakhourichopra ) I went from a “katori cut” to this. so, it was a win and on the right is me at 17, having just won Miss India in the year 2000 and basking in the glory of hair, make up and wardrobe.. Both pictures taken less than a decade apart.”
Expressing how she felt entering showbiz as a young girl, the Bajiroa Mastani actress wrote, “As Britney Spears very articulately put it.. I’m not a girl, not yet a woman. That was exactly how i felt then, entering the big world of entertainment. Almost 25 years later.. still figuring it out. Though, aren’t we all? Looking back at my younger self often makes me kinder to myself today. Think about your younger self and how much she has done for you. Love yourself, you’ve gone through a lot to be where you are today.”
Take a look:
Meanwhile, on the work front, she is waiting for the release of Heads of State, followed by The Bluff. | https://www.pinkvilla.com/entertainment/news/priyanka-chopra-makes-her-bollywood-dreams-come-true-in-switzerland-twirls-romantically-during-snowfall-watch-1353661 | 2024-10-15T17:59:45Z |
Disappointing Men Show Little Knowledge Of How A Vagina Works
In a series of Man on the Street interviews, the account Roe v. Bros asked men if women could pee with a tampon in.
A woman’s body is mysterious. Not because it’s inherently more complicated than the male body, but the historically and predominantly male medical institution has historically paid far less attention to it. When we’ve asked them to, they’ve all but shoved their fingers in their ears while screaming “La la la la la have you tried losing weight?!”
TikTok account Roe v. Bros puts a humorous twist on this sad fact of life by asking men questions about women’s bodies, gameshow style.
In a series of “Man on the Street” interviews (emphasis very heavily on “man”), host Tiffany Springle asks a series of basic questions about women’s bodies. Like... extraordinarily basic. The kind of thing most of us learn in 5th grade health class. Questions like, “Can women pee while their tampon is in”; “Why there are different types of tampons”; “How many tampons someone would use over the course of their period”; and even the most basic “What is a period?”
The answers were... I’d say disappointing, but in order to be disappointed you had to have had hope in the first place and over the past few years that’s worn a bit thin for me. Judge for yourself...
But it’s that last question— “Are you registered to vote?” — that makes this less funny. Because whether or not guys know about women’s bodies, they will nevertheless be voting about them.
It’s also true of those legislating our bodies. And time and time again lawmakers have betrayed a profound ignorance on the topic. From suggesting a fetus simply “floats” and does “not directly connect to the woman”’s body (ditto the umbilical cord and placenta) to assuring voters “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing [i.e. pregnancy] down.” A 2019 bill in the Ohio house would have made insurers may cover a procedure to treat ectopic pregnancy (where a fertilized egg implants outside of the uterus) that would re-implant the ovum into a woman’s uterus, despite the fact that such a procedure does not currently exist.
Basically, some govern by vibes rather than actual science. It’s dispiriting to say the least. Perhaps Springle says it best when closing out the video.

Things are back to their normal pace for Live with Kelly and Mark after the sadness last month when Art Moore left the show to retire.
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos often discuss their lives during their morning host chat before they go to Mark’s favorite part of the show, Stump Mark.
Mark is admittedly competitive and hates to lose anything, even if it means giving a contestant a free mug or T-shirt. The show sends the winner of Stump Mark a free mug or T-shirt.
Each day, the LIVE crew calls a constant who has sent in a postcard with two statements about their life, one truth and one lie.
Mark has a minute to ferret out the correct answer, or the contestant gets to Stump Mark and walks away with a mug and a t-shirt for their trouble before they answer a trivia question trying to win a trip.
Kelly is always a softie who wants to see Mark lose so someone can win the game, but Mark feels the total opposite and loves to win Stump Mark.
Kelly called out Mark for being a ‘monster’ during Stump Mark
As Monsters and Critics have reported, Mark loves to win Stump Mark so much that he stormed off the stage once he lost.
Mark enthusiastically shared that he and he alone decide which statement the contestant on Stump Mark makes is true or is a lie.
Kelly asked Mark to admit that the whole game was silly, and he said, “Yeah, it is silly, but it’s war!” Mark takes this stance anytime he competes with anyone over anything; he treats it like an all-out war.
During the wild segment, Mark had to evaluate two statements made by Elly Craig, the contestant: I recently saw Dead & Company at the Sphere and went to the very first show of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour.
Mark asked several questions of the contestant and correctly guessed the truth, and the contestant lost out on the chance at a t-shirt and mug.
Kelly was so upset that Mark won that she called him a monster since he was so gleeful over winning. “I’m very sad about that. She ran 4 miles today. She deserves that mug; she deserves that T-shirt. You are pretty much a monster!”
Kelly and Mark like to bicker over this part of Stump Mark, and while it is all in good fun, Kelly does get upset with Mark pretty often.
She recently shared on LIVE how he upset her during a walk they took, and she left her AirPods home, assuming Mark would walk with her the whole way. It’s good that they utilize marriage therapy to fix things up.
Kelly and Mark play a wedding game with Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone
Kelly and Mark have a good marriage despite the occasional hiccups, and recently, Melissa McCarthy and her husband, Ben Falcone, came on the show and played a wedding game with them.
The game was similar to The Newlywed Game, where each person answered questions about their spouse.
One question was who would they cast as their partner in a movie; Melissa and Ben said Taye Diggs and George Clooney, while Kelly and Mark both answered Erik Estrada.
It is excellent that Kelly and Mark can still laugh with each other during their marriage.

ASHEVILLE, N.C. -- Governor Roy Cooper spoke alongside with FEMA and other state officials Tuesday morning to provide an update on North Carolina's recovery from Hurricane Helene.
This comes after officials say FEMA workers paused some operations briefly and adjusted recovery efforts in NC due to threats made over the weekend.
According to the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office, William Parson, 44, was armed with a handgun and rifle, threatening FEMA officials outside a grocery store that is functioning as a storm relief site. He faces a criminal charge of "going armed to the terror of the public."
Misinformation has been a source of contention in the aftermath of Helene.
"If you're participating in spreading this stuff, stop it," Cooper said Tuesday. "Whatever your aim is, the people you are really hurting are those in western North Carolina who need help. The safety of our government and volunteer response workers, including FEMA, remains a top priority. I've directed the Department of Public Safety to coordinate law enforcement assistance for FEMA and other responders who need it to help ensure their safety and security, so people can keep getting the help that they desperately need."
92 people are still unaccounted for in the state, he said.
FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell said misinformation about operations "has got to stop."
"Let me be clear, I take these threats seriously, and the safety of these responders is and will remain a priority for me and my team now," Criswell said. "Over the weekend, out of an abundance of caution, we made operational changes to keep FEMA personnel safe, but none of the changes we made impacted ongoing search and rescue or other life safety operations."
FEMA has continued to help those affected by Helene, she added. All normal operations have resumed.
Cooper also gave updates to progress made in western NC:
He also said there are some communities back open and welcoming visitors, which is paramount in getting their economy back up and running. | https://abc30.com/post/wnc-hurricane-helene-misinformation-fema-threats-hurting-recovery-gov-roy-cooper/15430603/ | 2024-10-15T17:59:46Z |
Rigathi Gachagua Miscalculated Legal Strategy in Public Participation
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s political future hangs in the balance, and the legal strategy he has employed to contest his impeachment may have inadvertently hastened his downfall.
PAY ATTENTION: Flexible Payment Plans Available! Invest in Yourself & See the Return with Our Affordable Copywriting Course!
While the fight over public participation has taken centre stage, it is clear that Gachagua's team miscalculated, opting for premature court interventions rather than a well-timed legal offensive.
In doing so, they squandered what could have been a golden opportunity to stall the impeachment process and regain political ground.
How Gachagua's team misguided him
Gachagua’s camp moved too quickly when they sought court intervention to declare the public participation process flawed.
The aim was to undermine the impeachment process before it could gain momentum.
In theory, this was a sound strategy—had they waited until after the impeachment to file the case, the National Assembly would have been forced to reconsider, and the courts might have been persuaded to annul the entire process. But by jumping the gun, Gachagua’s team placed their bet too early.
Initially, the courts agreed with Gachagua, but the victory was short-lived. Parliament responded the very next day, launching public participation at the constituency level. This move caught Gachagua off guard.
He had hoped that Parliament would be delayed or run out of time, thus stalling the impeachment calendar. Instead, the legislative body adjusted swiftly, leaving his legal team scrambling for new strategies.
Is Gachagua likely to be impeached?
Now, Gachagua’s legal team has filed another case, this time contesting the Senate trial by questioning the qualitative and quantitative aspects of public participation.
Once again, the courts have declined to intervene. The fundamental issue here is that Kenyan law does not set clear thresholds for what constitutes satisfactory public participation.
Without any specific legal framework to challenge, Gachagua’s team has found itself on shaky ground. The impeachment process at the presidential level, unlike other political processes, remains silent on the nuances of public participation.
This is where Gachagua’s legal fight faltered. By focusing on an area with little legal precedent, he lost crucial momentum. Now, with the Senate poised to proceed, Gachagua faces a grim choice: continue fighting a losing battle or concede.
In my opinion, if the Senate upholds his impeachment, Gachagua's political career will likely be over. Recent history shows us that impeachments are rarely kind to politicians.
The fates of former governors Mike Sonko and Ferdinand Waititu are instructive—both were impeached and effectively banished from the political arena.
Gachagua must now consider whether he wants to follow that same path or choose a different exit strategy.
How will Gachagua benefit if he resigns?
The best option for the deputy president at this point is to resign. While resignation would undoubtedly be a bitter pill to swallow, it would give him a chance to regroup and potentially seek elected office in the future, whether at the county or national level.
By stepping down voluntarily, he can protect his legacy, maintain the possibility of a political comeback, and, importantly, safeguard his retirement benefits. At the level of deputy president, lifetime protection and benefits are significant considerations.
For Rigathi Gachagua, the fight is far from over, but the window of opportunity is closing. Resignation would offer a lifeline—one that he should seriously consider before it is too late.

For years, singer/songwriter Lisa Marie Presley, the only child of Elvis Presley, refused to write a memoir; she told people she thought her life wasn’t interesting enough to fill a book.
"I think she's had a complicated relationship with existing in the public eye and wanting to connect to people and share her story, but also really not enjoying having attention on her," Lisa Marie's daughter, Riley Keough says.
Eventually, Lisa Marie changed her mind about the memoir. She began making audio recordings about her life and reached out to Keough for help with the project. A month later, in January 2023, Lisa Marie died suddenly, and Keough had to decide whether or not to complete the book.
"I received the tapes. And then I kind of put it off for a while because I was like, why am I doing this to myself?" Keough says. "But the project of the book really felt like a duty to me. ... It felt like just a task that had to be done, so then I think I approached it in that way."
The book, From Here to the Great Unknown, takes its title from a lyric from the song “Where No One Stands Alone,” featured on a 2018 compilation album of Lisa Marie singing duets with archival recordings of her father's favorite gospel songs. In the book, Lisa Marie describes growing up in Graceland and shock of losing her father when she was 9. She also looks back on her three marriages, her battle with addiction and the loss of her son, Benjamin Keough, who died by suicide in 2020.
Keough, who is listed as a co-author of the memoir, says she struggled throughout to capture her mother's voice.
"[Lisa Marie] was very complicated and she was very candid and honest and raw and tough and wild and rebellious," Keough says. "But she also had a side to her that was very sort of childlike and naïve as well. And [she was] one of the most loving people I've ever met. But also I don't know if she could ever receive love, which was interesting."
Interview highlights
On Lisa Marie’s relationship to her parents, Elvis and Priscilla
I think that she was so close with her father, like she was a daddy's girl and he was everything to her that the loss of him was so great. And I think that dictated the relationship she had with her mother. …
Priscilla was a very young mother, and obviously my grandmother was living in this world that was totally overwhelming and unusual and she [had] to be Elvis' wife. And I think there was a lot of pressure on her to be perfect and to be the perfect wife and woman that ever lived. … And I think that my mom and her were very different. Like my mother was very wild and unruly and rebellious and radical kind of, and [Priscilla] was very well mannered and perfect, kind of the opposite of my mom, so I think they would butt heads often. … I also think that that had to do with the fact that she was in grief, too, so I think that she was acting out. She was angry at the universe for taking her father away and that everything and everyone was not him.
On Lisa Marie’s account of the day Elvis died in 1977
She always felt protective over that story. I always got the sense that she would never share the details of that day publicly, but then when I got the tapes, I heard that she wanted to share the details of that day. …
She basically came into my grandfather's room and he was in his bathroom and she saw him in there and then somebody grabbed her and brought her out into her room. And the ambulance came. And I think she says she went to smoke a cigarette. She was 9 years old. And then she watched him get brought down the stairs on a gurney. And she kind of says she remembers seeing his shoes or his hand or something like that. And he gets wheeled out of the house. And then a few moments later, his father, Vernon, basically, she hears him yelling and saying, “My baby's gone” … and I think Vernon said, “Your daddy's gone.”
On the family grieving alongside the public
The whole world was grieving her father, and she talks about watching people come through the house and people fainting and having to be carried out and ambulances coming to get people. ... I think it was a very interesting way to grieve. And I think that it kind of maybe didn't leave her a lot of room for her own grief.
On Lisa Marie’s connection to Graceland
She was very happy to be at Graceland. And in general, like if we were in Memphis, she just loved it there. She wanted a house there. And it was where she grew up and had some of her best memories as a child. We always had a lot of fun there. We would have dinners there and Thanksgiving and when the tours were over, obviously we would hang out in the house and they would take the ropes down and it was just like a family home for us. We would hang out in the living rooms and me and my brother would run downstairs and play pool with our cousins. And so we got to experience it as a home growing up. … And her father's room, which has never been part of the tour, her room in her father's room are upstairs in the house, and it's really only been a few people who are allowed up there and just our family. And she kept a key with her, and it was just a place that she went. It was like a place of comfort for her. I think she really felt her father in the room.
On Lisa Marie’s marriage to Michael Jackson being questioned as a publicity stunt
Their love was very genuine and they were in love and they were in a real relationship and slept in bed together and were very normal. But I think that when you're that famous, there's a lot of people around. I think both camps kind of had people in their ears about each other. My mom started to perceive that maybe he was on drugs and he started to maybe get the idea that she was on to him maybe being on drugs. And then I think there was paranoia. I think my grandmother was apprehensive about the marriage and brought that idea up to my mom, and I think it just kind of exploded.
On Riley’s relationship Jackson
I think my mom says something in the book that people might kind of pass over, which is really kind of indicative of the whole thing, which is that like the version of Michael that was in her/our lives or that she was with, was different to, I think, the version that he presented on TV. Even the way he spoke was different. Probably with Elvis, too: There's the version of Elvis Presley for the world and then there's the version at home. And I think my experience with Michael was he felt like a human being and spoke differently. I remember the first time I saw him on TV, his register was higher and that's not how I was used to hearing him. And I remember thinking: That was interesting. So I think that in my life he felt like my mom's husband, like a stepfather.
On Lisa Marie seeing Elvis impersonators at her shows
She used to, before shows, peek out the side of the curtain and and find where they would be so that she wasn't surprised when she went out there and she would just peek around and kind of go, OK, there's one in the back, there's one over there so she wasn't shocked. … It's like some kind of wild fever dream to go out on stage and perform to your dead father, or like someone in costume. It's bizarre. People's relationship to him was as if he was like this sort of like God, you know? And so I don't think there was a lot of humanizing going on with her. It's not that they had ill intentions. I think that they're just fans and just maybe didn't realize how weird that would be for her.

KILLEEN, Texas (KXXV) — On Monday evening City of Killeen Planning and Zoning Commission denied a request to rezone a property on Featherline Rd. due to safety issues.
- Rezoning request denied due to safety issues
- Stop signs, right-turning lanes, and traffic lights are being added to Featherline Rd.
- Residents say traffic congestion, sidewalks, and flooding issues need to be addressed
BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
Taking it back to city officials in Killeen.
TCG Engineering company is resubmitting a rezoning request after being denied earlier this year in April.
“We are not asking for variance we intend to comply with all of Killeen’s drainage requirements and subdivision requirements,“ said a TCG Engineering representative.
According to the rules you can resubmit at a lower reduction of the originally requested area. The previous rezoning consisted of a request for almost 200 acres and now it is present approximately 88 acres - at a 55% lower rate
“We sell lots to home builders that employ sheet rockers, electricians, and plumbers all throughout Killeen and they build products that their customers demand,“ said Jason, a Killeen resident.
The agricultural land is proposed to bring more homes. Neighbors say this should not be done until things like sidewalks and flooding have been addressed, as they believe it will cause more traffic in a neighborhood that's already struggling with a lack of grocery stores and high traffic so close to schools.
“There’s nothing available other than R1 why are you continuously to be rezoned? We don’t have to,“ said Heather, a Killeen resident.
“We want this to be done smart. I think anyone will agree that there are things needed in that area but we want the infrastructure to be in place first,“ said James Sills, with Fix Featherline Rd.
The property is located in within Killeen development zone number 8 with a mix of land use of 60% residential and almost 40% commercial.
James Sills is the man behind the advocacy group Fix Featherline. He tells Neighborhood Reporter Epiphany La'Sha they have fought for a new stop sign, traffic lights, and right-turning lane - which is now in the works. They’re also seeking more sidewalks to help with pedestrians on a heavily congested road. These are problems the planning and zoning commission are aware of as they denied the rezoning request due to the lack of safety. | https://www.kxxv.com/news/local-news/in-your-neighborhood/bell-county/killeen/community-in-killeen-speaks-out-against-rezoning-request-on-featherline-road | 2024-10-15T17:59:47Z |

SYDNEY, Australia (AFP) — Clinging to a fluffy toy twice her size, orphaned koala joey Ajooni made a snuffling noise as she drank milk from a tiny syringe.
Weighing about the same as a mango, she was found by the side of a Sydney road where her mother was hit by a car and died.
It is a familiar tale for wildlife carer Emma Meadows.
Over the past two years, Meadows and other volunteers have recovered 40 koalas hit by cars in their neighborhood. The number left for dead is likely much higher.
Koalas are shy and notoriously difficult to count.
There are anywhere between 95,000 and 524,000 left in Australia, possibly down from millions before European settlement.
There is little doubt that expanding cities, land clearance and the spread of chlamydia are devastating the populations of one of Australia’s most iconic animals.
East Coast koalas were officially listed as “endangered” by the Australian government in 2022.
“I actually, truly, believe we’re heading towards extinction,” said Meadows, a volunteer with WIRES. | https://tribune.net.ph/2024/10/15/cars-chlamydia-threaten-australian-koalas | 2024-10-15T17:59:47Z |
Panicky NMS recalls deadly medicine manufactured by Kampala Pharmaceutical Industries
The National Medical Stores (NMS) in Uganda has finally recalled a defective antibiotic medication, Cloxacillin Capsules BP 250mg, supplied by Kampala Pharmaceutical Industries (1996) Ltd, but not without raising some serious concerns.
It took NMS a whole month to act on the recall notice, despite being notified on August 29. This delay has sparked outrage among Ugandans, who are questioning whether NMS bosses prioritize public health and safety.
NMS is recalling KAM CLOXA CAPSULES (Cloxacillin Sodium BP 250mg), supplied by Kampala Pharmaceutical Industries (1996) Ltd (KPI).
The medicine is being recalled after regulator National Drug Authority (NDA) discovered that the capsules inside have solidified and sticky powder.
Cloxacillin is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. This medication is a type of penicillin antibiotic. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria. This antibiotic treats only bacterial infections.
“During routine post-market surveillance, the National Drug Authority (NDA) discovered the product below with solidified and sticky powder inside the capsules,” NDA first wrote to Kampala Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd on 27th August, 2024, the manufacturer of the medicine.
The affected batch, numbered 0723, was manufactured in April 2023 and has an expiry date of November 2025, meaning it’s been in circulation for over a year before being detected.
“You are hereby instructed to conduct an immediate recall of the defective batch. Based on the recall procedures for the National Drug Authority, this is a Class B recall and should be conducted at the retail level,” the letter adds.
Kampala Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd was instructed to submit a recall status report within two weeks containing the following information: Details of the distribution of the product (quantity, where, and when), A list of clients notified of the recall, A list of clients who responded to the recall communication, A list of clients that did not respond, A list of products returned by each client contacted and the number of products accounted for and the total and the root cause investigation and proposed CAPA (Corrective Action and Preventive Action) report.
As per the NDA guidelines for the recall or withdrawal of a Medical Product, a Class B recall is initiated in a situation in which there is risk of temporary or minor health problems but very low risk of serious health problems.
KPI ACTS
On 29th August, 2024, Faisal Muhammad, a Financial Accountant at Kampala Pharmaceutical Industries, writing on behalf of the CEO, alerted NMS of the NDA findings.
NMS was requested to cease distribution and return all the stock from the affected lot.
“KPI (1996) Limited will replace all the returned Kam Cloxa capsules from the above- mentioned batch with other batch (es) of the same product,” the letter copied to KPI pharmacist reads.
NMS TAKES A MONTH TO ACT
Whereas KPI alerted NMS on August 29, it took a month for NMS to wake up from slumber land and recall the affected lot.
NMS remembered to act this month despite being notified in August.
“National Medical Stores on behalf of the contracted supplier is recalling Cloxacillin Capsules BP 250mg, supplied by Kampala Pharmaceutical Industries (1996) Ltd. to NMS. National Medical Stores is therefore requesting you to stop further use of the product. Collect data on availability of stock and return all the stock to NMS when drivers deliver to your facility. The remaining stock should reach NMS before 4/02/2025 or send feedback on the status,” NMS General Manager Moses Kamabare finally informed all Health Facility In-charges for NRH, RRH, GH, HCIV, HCIII & HCH on October 4th, 2024.
Concerned Ugandans are now questioning whether NMS bosses are acting in the interests of Ugandans and whether they value the importance of timely action in ensuring public health and safety.
“It’s concerning that NMS took a month to act on the recall notice, potentially putting many Ugandan lives at risk,” said one of the concerned Ugandans who preferred not to be mentioned.
While this is a step in the right direction, the delays in acting on the recall notice put many lives at risk.
“In institutions, officials are expected to act in the public’s interest, ensuring timely action to prevent harm. Incidents like this highlight the need for continued improvement. Ugandans deserve better, and it’s crucial that NMS bosses take responsibility for their actions and prioritize public health and safety moving forward,” the concerned Ugandan added. | https://redpepper.co.ug/panicky-nms-recalls-deadly-medicine-manufactured-by-kampala-pharmaceutical-industries/138267/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=panicky-nms-recalls-deadly-medicine-manufactured-by-kampala-pharmaceutical-industries | 2024-10-15T17:59:48Z |
When Rekha solved Jeetendra's 'income tax problem' by serving snacks to the officer in charge; veteran actor says, 'she is yaaron ka yaar'
Veteran actor Jeetendra recently recalled the time when his co-star Rekha helped him solve his 'income tax problem'. Jeetendra praised Rekha for being his true friend.
Veteran actor Jeetendra, who started his acting career with Geet Gaya Patharon Ne in 1964, has contributed to Hindi cinema from the 1960s to 1980s. Fondly regarded as India's 'Jumping Jack', Jeetendra is celebrated for his great acting and dancing skills. Do you know that Jeetendra's co-star Rekha once solved his 'income tax problem' by serving snacks to the officer in charge? The veteran actor recently shared that she is a true friend.
In a recent interview with Filmfare, Jeetendra praised Rekha for how she made an effort to help him during a problem related to income tax. The veteran actor recalled that his chartered accountant informed him that the officer in charge was a huge fan of Rekha and that he would be happy to meet her in person.
Jeetendra remembered explaining his issue to co-star Rekha over a phone call and the latter agreed to visit his home. "She went out of her way to be cordial with the officer. What’s more she even served him snacks with her own hands. The fanboy was floored and my tax problems were all sorted," the Jeene Ki Raah actor said.
Jeetendra, who was impressed by Rekha's gesture, stated that no one helps unless he or she is a true friend. The living legend added that she has always been a strong supporter like a "rock solid".
The 82-year-old actor reminisced that they have worked together in over 30 movies. He expressed that Rekha has "terrific acting skills and utmost professionalism". Jeetendra signed off by saying that Rekha is his "jaan" and that she’s also a "yaaron ka yaar".
Jeetendra and Rekha collaborated in films like Maang Bharo Sajana (1980), Mera Pati Sirf Mera Hai (1990), Jaal (1986), Souten Ki Beti (1989), Ek Hi Bhool (1981), Sadaa Suhagan (1986), Jaani Dushman (1979), Judaai (1980), Apne Apne (1987), and many more.
Jeetendra's other notable movies include Caravan, Jeene Ki Raah, Khilona, Dharam Veer, and others. Rekha, on the other hand, has worked in famous films like Khoon Bhari Maang, Biwi Ho To Aisi, Bahurani, Koi Mil Gaya, and Khubsoorat to name a few.

Hunker down, little-house-in-the-big-woods style.
It’s that time of year when you just want to get comfy, and honestly, it starts with your pajamas. Whether you’re in a warm climate or waking up to see your breath outside, cozy fall and winter pajamas are a must, and that means changing up what you’ve been wearing since mid-spring.
Because those sexy little short sets? Those were for summer. Those were for waking up at the beach on vacation and standing outside watering your flowers before the July sun cooked all of your petunias to death. It’s hunker-down season, y’all. We’re looking for fleece, we’re looking for ultra cozy, we’re looking for festive.
We’re looking for Ma Ingalls pajamas.
And I don’t just mean high-neck flannel nightgowns, but all those cozy nightdresses that make you feel extra feminine, extra comfy, and even extra sexy. (OK, the one that goes down to your ankles might not be the sexiest option.) These are perfect for fall movie nights, for early winter mornings with your coffee, and even for opening Christmas presents. So, pick your favorite, grab your go-to tea mug, and get ready to accept the Ma Ingalls inside of you.
The Softest Floral Nightgown
A classic nightgown is a must for any wardrobe, and this one from Croft & Barrow gives you all the cozy vibes while still being light enough to wear around the house. There are few things worse than cozy pajamas that you feel like you can’t actually move in, lest you break out into a heavy sweat. I love how vintage and sweet this one is without making you feel frumpy.
The Coziest Shirtdress
If this isn’t Ma Ingalls-coded, I don’t know what is. The way I want to put this snap-front sweatshirt lounger on and wrap myself up on the couch with a mug of hot tea is intense. You could wear this over a lighter nightgown or even light tops and bottoms, but I also think it’s plenty cozy to throw on after a shower for relaxing.
The Ultimate Flannel Nightgown
I mean, come on. This long nightgown from Jessica London is not only covered in cardinals, but it also goes all the way down to your ankles and is made of flannel. Like, just all the cozy things you need in pajamas rolled into one nightgown.
A Sexy, Cozy Look
I have several of these Auden nightgowns from Target, and they are so cozy and comfy... but also kind of sexy? I just love feeling all snug in a big, oversized, collared nightgown, and it gives me the best kind of vibes. Don’t worry; it’s long enough to wear while just around the house, too.
The Perfect Plaid Nightgown
Does it not look like you just threw on Pa’s work shirt to catch some winter ZZZs? From Natural Life, this flannel shirt dress is nice and long but also super roomy and cozy so that you can move around freely without feeling exposed or like you need to throw some clothes on ASAP. The plaid is the perfect color combo, too, and it works well for fall all the way through winter if you like being on theme.
The Softest Socks
You know those tootsies are going to get cold, so it’s only right that you have a soft pair of cozy socks to go along with your jammies. These chenille socks from UGG aren’t too long but feel almost like a light slipper when you pull them on (while still keeping you nice and warm). I usually hate socks, but these don’t slip down my legs either, and I can actually walk around my house without getting totally aggravated by them.
The Flannel Nightgown To Match The Whole Fam
Hanna Andersson always has the best holiday prints, and I’m obsessed with this festive forest version, especially when it comes on a flannel nightshirt. Not only is it another cozy winter pajama idea, but it also matches the whole family — you can grab this same print in other adult sets, as well as kid and baby sizes.
The Best Sleeveless Nightgown
My best friend has a thing against sleeves on pajamas, but I knew I could still find a classic, cozy nightgown that didn’t make her feel stuck or trapped. This sleeveless nightgown from Amazon has all of the traditional details you love, yet it’s nice and light for those who want to be comfy but don’t want to feel overheated or trapped in a lot of fabric.
A Breathable Nightgown
Another great option for those who just need to breathe in their nightgowns, this cotton interlock nightgown from Lands’ End is nice and light, with that kind of soft, somewhat stretchy breathable fabric you love. The scoop neck is super flattering, too, and I love the little tie at the top for an extra dash of feminine coziness.
The Coziest Plush Robe
If the fire went out in that Little House, you know darn well Ma had to be ready with extra layers. So, tap into your own winter in the big woods desires with this plush robe from L.L. Bean. It’s extra soft, extra cozy, and extra gorgeous in that plum color. Don’t you want to throw it on for Christmas morning? Same.
The Best Winter Slippers
I’ve recently become a Bombas girl, and I want everyone to have this pair of gripper slipper booties in their own house. These are sherpa-lined and have a soft, grippy bottom, so you can wear them in your house without feeling like you’re wearing a hefty pair of shoes on your own couch.
Which cozy pajama look is your favorite? Channel your inner Ma Ingalls all fall and winter long with one or all of these options. | https://www.scarymommy.com/shopping/cozy-nightgowns-slippers-for-women | 2024-10-15T17:59:52Z |
Below Deck Sailing Yacht charter guest Dr. Contessa Metcalfe called out Chef Cloyce Martin’s cooking.
The Married to Medicine alum was the first primary guest of Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5.
Dr. Contessa and her friends were the perfect group of guests: very polite, nice, and just there to have a good time.
As Monsters and Critics previously reported, though, Dr. Contessa did admit there was a “horrible” mishap that Below Deck Sailing Yacht viewers didn’t see play out.
Following her final episode on Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5, Dr. Contessa spoke about the meals they served on Parsifal III.
Speaking with The Daily Dish, Dr. Contessa didn’t hold back from evaluating Cloyce and his food choices.
Below Deck Sailing Yacht charter guest Dr. Contessa Metcalfe calls out Chef Cloyce Martin’s ‘children’s food’
“There was a new chef — he is quite adorable — but his cooking skills left a little bit to the imagination,” the Married to Medicine star shared.
Dr. Contessa wasn’t impressed with several of the meals the chef served her group. In fact, the meals reminded her of things she would make for her children.
“When we were presented with what I affectionately referred to as ‘children’s food,’ [I thought], I cook better than this for my three kids,” Dr. Contessa expressed.
Despite the meals, the doctor understands that the chef was new and young and that there were growing pains associated with being the first charter guests of the season with a crew that had just met.
For those wondering why Dr. Contessa didn’t complain on the show, well, it’s not her style.
“You never want to be that person who ruins the trip for everybody else by being a complainer,” she spilled to The Daily Dish.
In the end, Dr. Contessa and her group came for the view and Ibiza fun, which they got to experience. The meals were the least part of being on Below Deck Sailing Yacht.
Based on her words, we know why the tip wasn’t the best, and we can’t blame Dr. Contessa at all.
Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans react to Married to Medicine alum Dr. Contessa Metcalfe on the show
X (formerly Twitter) was buzzing over Dr. Contessa’s two-episode stint on Below Deck Sailing Yacht. The overall consensus was fans were excited to have the Bravoleberty on the show.
One X commented on how chill she was on Below Deck Sailing Yacht.
Another gushed over having a Bravo crossover to kick off the sailing season.
That was echoed more than once, but a different X user added hope that Dr. Contessa will return to Married to Medicine.
The first charter is done on Below Deck Sailing Yacht with very chill guests.
Off-screen, the drama is on fire thanks to Gary King, who fans are not thrilled to have back on-screen with Daisy Kelliher. For his part, Gary claims he’s being edited out of season amid lies about being spread about him.
Keep watching as Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 will be one for the books.
Below Deck Sailing Yacht airs Mondays at 9/8c on Bravo. Seasons 1-4 are streaming on Peacock. | https://www.monstersandcritics.com/tv/reality-tv/below-deck-sailing-yacht-charter-guest-dr-contessa-metcalfe-calls-out-chef-cloyce-martins-childrens-food/ | 2024-10-15T17:59:53Z |
Kiambu MCA Throws Cash Prize Challenge to Colleagues in Other Counties over ECDE Project
1 min read
- Kamenu MCA Peter Mburu is convinced that no county other than Kiambu is undertaking a facelift of ECDE centres to ultramodern standards
- Governor Kimani Wamatangi intends to put up equipped and state-of-the-art learning centres in all the wards making up Kiambu county
- Mburu challenged his colleagues in other counties to show forth such progress in their areas, throwing in a cash prize for whoever challenges him with photos
Leaders in Kiambu have taken pride in the county's initiative to put up ultramodern Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) centres.
The devolved unit under Governor Kimani Wamatangi has built 109 equipped model ECDE centres across all 60 wards.
Marvelling at the milestone, Kamenu Ward MCA Peter Mburu implies Kiambu could be a pacesetter among the 47 counties.
He seemed to argue that no other county had made such progress as Kiambu within two years.
Mburu challenged his colleagues outside Kiambu to share any such milestone if available, offering to give some good money if his assertion is challenged.
"I challenge people, including my fellow MCAs from other counties, to post photos or videos of even 20 state-of-the-art facilities from their counties that match or rival what Wamatangi has constructed. I will give a cash reward," said Mburu.

We're Obsessed With 'The Kelce Brothers' Little Golden Book
There’s even a nod to Travis Kelce’s relationship with Taylor Swift!
My daughter cannot get enough of Little Golden Books (she also happens to be a huge fan of the Kelce family thanks to our girl Taylor Swift), so when Golden Books announced that they were going to release a Little Golden Book Biography on Jason and Travis Kelce, I knew I had to get my hands on one.
In the book, The Kelce Brothers, Jason and Travis Kelce’s sibling bond and their impressive rise to becoming two of the greatest football players of all time is chronicled in a way that’s inspiring and easy for young readers to comprehend.
“Follow along from their early years in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, to achieving their dreams of being drafted into the NFL and making history in 2023 by becoming the first brothers to play against each other in a Super Bowl!” a press release summarizes. “2024 proved to be another life-changing year for the brothers. After a stellar 13-year career and one Super Bowl Championship with the Philadelphia Eagles, Jason officially announced his retirement with a heartfelt speech that paid homage to his bond with his younger brother. Meanwhile, Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs became back-to-back Super Bowl champions, which he cheerfully celebrated with his girlfriend singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, whose own Little Golden Book biography is the series' best-selling installment.”
My daughter also loves that book!
“Through years of hard work and with the support of their loved ones, Jason and Travis Kelce have reached the pinnacle of their careers, and they show no signs of slowing down,” the statement continues. “From their award-winning podcast, ‘New Heights’ to Jason’s new gig with ESPN, the Kelce brothers will continue to dream big and will always be each other’s biggest fan! This is the perfect book to give to young siblings to learn the value and importance of supporting one another, even when competing against each other.”
The book has several pages that include illustrations of couple Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, who initially took their romance public in September 2023, and follow some of the big moments in their relationship.
“In 2023, Travis started dating singer-songwriter Taylor Swift,” one of the pages read, featuring an illustration of the couple holding hands, as well as one of Travis Kelce on the field. “Their fans loved seeing Taylor cheering at Travis’s games alongside his friends and family.”
There's also a page dedicated to Jason Kelce's relationship with Kylie Kelce, with whom he shares three daughters.
The Kelce Brothers: A Little Golden Book Biography is set to release on Oct. 15. | https://www.scarymommy.com/shopping/kelce-brothers-little-golden-book | 2024-10-15T17:59:53Z |

It doesn’t look like three-division world champion Johnriel Casimero is on Top Rank’s radar screen even after his smashing first-round knockout win over the weekend in Yokohama, Japan.
“Nope,” Top Rank’s vice president for operations Carl Moretti told DAILY TRIBUNE when asked if the flashy Filipino is being considered as a potential foe of Naoya “Monster” Inoue, who the Las Vegas-based outfit promotes.
Casimero took the spotlight last Sunday when he destroyed Saul Sanchez of the United States in a scheduled 10-round super-bantamweight bout.
But questions about Casimero’s professionalism surfaced when he failed to make weight twice during the official weighin.
The Japan Boxing Commission (JBC) then allowed the fight to proceed after he came in a shade below the mandated 128-lb limit on the day of the fight.
Immediately after his latest victory, Casimero, 35, called out Inoue even as he defended his failure to make the weight since the bout with Sanchez didn’t have a title at stake.
Still, Casimero made the assurance that if he is given a shot at a world crown, he will make sure that he will make weight.
Inoue, acknowledged as the world’s No. 1 fighter pound-for-pound, is scheduled to defend his undisputed status against Sam Goodman of Australia on 24 December in Tokyo.
If he gets past Goodman, the plan is for Inoue to face Junto Nakatani in May 2025.
Nakatani is regarded as Japan’s best boxer next to Inoue and is the world champion at bantamweight, making their showdown the biggest bout in the country’s history.
Meanwhile, Casimero will have to make do with what’s going to be offered to him in the coming months as there are reports that the JBC will slap him a one-year suspension for coming in overweight against Sanchez.
Casimero turns 36 in February 2025. | https://tribune.net.ph/2024/10/15/casimero-not-on-top-ranks-radar | 2024-10-15T17:59:54Z |
Katie Ginella started her time on The Real Housewives of Orange County on a sour note when she gunned for Heather Dubrow for allegedly calling the paparazzi to take her photo at Disneyland.
At the time, there were concerns that she wouldn’t be asked back for RHOC Season 19 because viewers were Team Heather.
Thankfully, the back half of the season has given a more exciting insight into Katie as a mother and a friend.
As a result, she’s blossomed into one of the better cast members and shouldn’t have an issue being given a contract for another season.
The 40-year-old opened up in a recent episode of RHOC about how she was planning a trip to meet her birth mother in South Korea.
“My birth mother, as of now, said it’s okay,” she told the ladies as they sat down for their first dinner in London.
The development interested Heather, who had been struggling to trust Katie in the aftermath of paparazzi-gate.
Katie’s update reveals a devastating loss
Now that filming has wrapped on Season 18, Katie has shared an update on whether the trip happened.
In an interview with Bravo, the reality TV star revealed that she and her husband, Matt Ginella, are “still planning” the trip.
“My father-in-law passed away, so we kind of had to put it off for a little bit,” she added before admitting that timing continues to be the issue.
Katie revealed that she had previously attempted to get in contact with her birth mother a decade ago but was going through a divorce at the time and put it off.
“I really didn’t want two big life things happening at the same, so I put it off and kind of compartmentalized it for a little bit,” Katie added.
“I wanted to turn 40 and enter into my 40s, checking that off my bucket list,” she said of the looming trip.
Katie says her life is like a puzzle
“I talk a little bit about my adoption experience with the women at a dinner in London,” she added.
“I explain to people that I feel like my life is a beautiful puzzle, and I just have a bottom-right piece missing. I just want to put that puzzle piece in, and then I’ll feel whole.”
RHOC Season 19 probably won’t enter production until early next year, but by the time the show returns to the air, there’s a chance we could have another update on Katie’s trip.
Bravo has yet to renew the series officially, but as the original show in the franchise, it will probably reach at least Season 20 before any significant changes occur.
The Real Housewives universe is suffering from viewer fatigue, so we shouldn’t rule out many other cities getting the pink slip.
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo. Stream Seasons 1-18 on Peacock. | https://www.monstersandcritics.com/tv/reality-tv/did-rhocs-katie-ginella-meet-her-birth-mother-after-filming-season-18/ | 2024-10-15T17:59:54Z |

AFC East
As poorly as both of these teams are playing right now the Bills are currently sitting in 1st place in the AFC East while the Jets are currently sitting in 2nd place. The Miami Dolphins have the 3rd spot while the Patriots are in last. A win for either the Bills or Jets solidifies first place Monday night. Both teams are on a 2-game losing streak. The Bills dropped their last two games to Baltimore and Houston on the road. The Jets lost their last two to Denver and Minnesota at home. The winner of this game would take control of one of the weakiest divisions in football.
What to watch for
The quarterbacks will be on full display on Monday night. Can Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers get the team on track with a win at home? Will the Bills signal caller stop their two-game slide and get a much-needed win on the road at MetLife Stadium. The loser of this game will take a back seat in their first meeting in the division. This game will be huge for both teams. This will be a close game.
Game Info
Buffalo Bills vs New York Jets
Monday – October 14 – 7:15 p.m.
TV: ESPN/ABC
MetLife Stadium – East Rutherford, NY
Buffalo Bills (3-2, 1-2 Away)
The Bills are led by quarterback Josh Allen. Over the last two games the Bills offense is averaging 27 points per game, and he is the x-factor for the offense. The defense will need to create some stops and get the ball back to the offense to score some points. Two key weapons are listed as questionable for this contest. Running back James Cook and wide out Khalil Shakir is on the list. Other players will need to step up and get the ball into the end zone. Players to watch: LB Dorian Williams, CB Ja’Marcus Ingram and PK Tyler Bass.
New York Jets (2-3, 1-1 Home)
The Jets mortgaged the organization on the veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Over the past 2 weeks, the team dropped two games, and the head coach was relieved of his duties. The only way this team can turn this thing around is to get into the playoffs this season. I’m not sure if the Rodgers trade was good one for this team but it sold some tickets. Running back Breece Hall will be the x-factor for this team moving forward. Just give him the ball and let him to do his thing. The defense will be on full display for this game. Keep an eye on that side of the ball for some momentum changing plays.
Prediction
ESPN has the Bills with a 54.6% chance of winning on the road in New York. The over/under is 40.5, so take the over in this one. It will be a shootout. I’m taking the Bills by 6! They are the better team right now. This is an easy pick to make!
Final Score
Bills – 31
Jets – 25 | https://blitzweekly.com/buffalo-bills-vs-new-york-jets-preview-2/ | 2024-10-15T17:59:54Z |
THABILE NKUNJANA: SA agricultural exports not yet at risk from Middle East war
The Middle East conflict seems to be intensifying, which could affect international supply networks and trade.
Middle Eastern countries are the source of important global inputs, including fertilisers and crude oil. Due to the uncertainties surrounding the world’s oil supply after Iran’s attack on Israel, international crude oil prices climbed 7.9%, between September 30 and October 4, from $68.17 to $73.57 a barrel.
Since the start of the war there have been worries that it may extend throughout the region, particularly if Iran becomes involved considering its past relations with the Western countries that support Israel. Indeed, Iran fired missiles into southern Israel on October 1, further fuelling tensions in the region.
But on October 3 Israel attacked Beirut in Lebanon, rather than Iran, as many had predicted would happen in reprisal for Iran’s earlier attack. This gives rise to even more conjecture and doubt over the war’s future course.
The question now is where the escalating war position leaves SA farmers, agribusiness and exporters who are involved in the Middle Eastern market, which is becoming increasingly important for SA’s agricultural exports.
SA’s key markets for agricultural products in Middle East
For SA the Middle East is a modest but important and rising market. In 2023 SA’s agricultural exports to the world were valued at $13.2bn, of which 7%, or $966m, went to the Middle East.
The Middle East market consists of 17 countries when the Palestinian territories of Gaza and the West Bank are included, though they are not officially recognised as separate countries by the UN. SA’s agricultural exports remain concentrated to a few of these.
The countries and territories that are directly involved in the conflict — Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria and Iran — are negligible markets for SA’s agricultural products apart from Israel, which is the fifth-largest market for SA’s agricultural products in the Middle East.
The United Arab Emirates accounted for 52% of SA’s agricultural exports to the Middle East in 2023, making it the region’s biggest single market for SA. Saudi Arabia, with a 14% market share in 2023, was the second largest market, followed by Kuwait (7%), Qatar (6%), Israel (4%), Jordan (4%) and Iraq (4%). For the same period exports to Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria and Iran amounted to less than 1% each.
Agricultural products exported by SA to the Middle East
Even though the Middle East accounted for only 7% of SA’s total agricultural exports in 2023, some products are more dependent on the Middle East market than others. Among these are animal products, citrus, apples, pears, grapes and berries, a significant share of which are exported to the Middle East.
For instance, in 2023 the Middle East received at least 96% of all lamb carcasses and half carcasses sent from SA to the world, along with 86% of fresh and frozen beef and 43% of frozen boneless beef.
In value terms, in 2023 at least 22% ($150.8m) of oranges and 19% ($78.9m) of lemons from SA were exported to the Middle East, including about 67% of the fresh raspberries, blackberries, mulberries and loganberries (all together), 19% of pears, 17% of plums, 12% of fresh cranberry and bilberry s combination, 10% of apples and 7% of grapes.
Typically, a vessel leaves the port of Durban every week to deliver agricultural products from SA to the Middle East market. These primarily includes fruits and animal products.
As previously mentioned, as things stands there is little risk to SA’s agricultural exports associated with the war, and therefore there won’t be much of an affect on associated export revenues this year. The citrus marketing season, which is crucial for that region’s exports, is almost over for this year.
This also holds true for apple and pear exports to the Middle East, as well as other agricultural products. However, for value-added products such as orange juice, chocolate, grapefruit juice, jam and citrus fruit juice exported to Israel, the risk could increase if the war continues, since Israel’s economy is likely to be affected sooner or later.
This includes grapes, a significant export for SA that was banned from being imported by certain Israeli companies early this year due to consumer protests after SA’s case against Israel at the International Court of Justice.

RUN JIN Ep 10 Highlights: BTS member and B1A4's Sandeul get 'kidnapped', take on coast guard role; play Super Tuna relay
In RUN JIN Episode 10, chaos and fun collide as BTS' Jin and B1A4's Sandeul get "kidnapped," embrace their roles as coast guards, and take on a hilarious Super Tuna relay challenge. Read on!
Episode 10 of RUN JIN brought fresh thrills and laughter as BTS’ Jin and his longtime friend, B1A4’s Sandeul, reunited for a fishing trip that quickly spiraled into comedic chaos. The duo, known for their playful antics and genuine friendship, found themselves navigating unexpected twists that kept fans on the edge of their seats. From being "detained" unexpectedly to taking on the roles of coast guard officers, the episode was filled with entertaining moments that showed the duo’s fun-loving camaraderie.
A fishing trip gone wrong: "Kidnapped" at sea
The episode kicked off with Jin and Sandeul embarking on what seemed like a peaceful fishing adventure. However, their day took a sudden and amusing turn when they were humorously "kidnapped" by a group of actors posing as coast guard officers. The staged "detainment" took the pair by surprise, and their reactions ranged from bewilderment to bursts of laughter. The lighthearted “kidnapping” set the tone for the episode, with Jin and Sandeul embracing the unexpected turn of events as they were whisked away to take on their next challenge.
Training as Coast Guard Officers: A drowning simulation with a hint of humor
Once "detained," the duo was given their next mission; to step into the shoes of coast guard officers. The adventure began with a drowning simulation, where Jin and Sandeul were tasked with rescuing a supposed victim from the water. As they awkwardly fumbled through the simulated rescue, their efforts were a blend of earnest determination and comical mishaps. Jin’s exaggerated struggles to keep the dummy afloat while Sandeul offered half-serious guidance had viewers in stitches. The duo's banter and slapstick humor turned the otherwise serious exercise into a moment of genuine amusement.
The adventure didn't stop there. Jin and Sandeul took part in beach games including a Super Tuna relay that mimicked Coast Guard training exercises. The pair donned life vests and competed in an obstacle course, racing through the sand, diving under nets, and scaling makeshift barriers.
Team Kim Seokjin loses games for the first time
In a surprising twist, Jin’s team suffered its first defeat of the season, losing a competitive beach game that led to the entire team filling a pit they had previously dug. As Jin’s frustration grew with each failed attempt to keep the sand from caving in, Sandeul’s laughter echoed throughout the beach. The unexpected loss left Jin jokingly lamenting while reluctantly accepting the outcome. Despite the defeat, their good-natured attitude and unwavering humor kept the atmosphere lively, reminding fans why they love the pair’s antics.
Teasing horrific navigation: A sneak peek at episode 11
Before wrapping up the episode, the BTS member provided a thrilling glimpse of what’s to come. With a mischievous grin, he hinted at “horrific navigation” during their adventure. Known for his often-terrible sense of direction, Jin’s reaction sparked excitement and curiosity among viewers. The teaser promises more hilarious moments as Jin tackles a new location and faces unpredictable obstacles. Given Jin’s history with navigating under pressure, fans can expect plenty of laughter in the upcoming episode.
Watch the full episode here;
Jin and Sandeul’s close friendship and shared history are at the heart of what makes this episode of RUN JIN so enjoyable. The two have a natural rapport that shines through every segment, from their playful bickering to the genuine support they show each other.

Penske Automotive (PAG) appears an attractive pick, as it has been recently upgraded to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). An upward trend in earnings estimates -- one of the most powerful forces impacting stock prices -- has triggered this rating change.
The sole determinant of the Zacks rating is a company's changing earnings picture. The Zacks Consensus Estimate -- the consensus of EPS estimates from the sell-side analysts covering the stock -- for the current and following years is tracked by the system.
The power of a changing earnings picture in determining near-term stock price movements makes the Zacks rating system highly useful for individual investors, since it can be difficult to make decisions based on rating upgrades by Wall Street analysts. These are mostly driven by subjective factors that are hard to see and measure in real time.
Therefore, the Zacks rating upgrade for Penske basically reflects positivity about its earnings outlook that could translate into buying pressure and an increase in its stock price.
Most Powerful Force Impacting Stock Prices
The change in a company's future earnings potential, as reflected in earnings estimate revisions, has proven to be strongly correlated with the near-term price movement of its stock. The influence of institutional investors has a partial contribution to this relationship, as these big professionals use earnings and earnings estimates to calculate the fair value of a company's shares. An increase or decrease in earnings estimates in their valuation models simply results in higher or lower fair value for a stock, and institutional investors typically buy or sell it. Their bulk investment action then leads to price movement for the stock.
Fundamentally speaking, rising earnings estimates and the consequent rating upgrade for Penske imply an improvement in the company's underlying business. Investors should show their appreciation for this improving business trend by pushing the stock higher.
Harnessing the Power of Earnings Estimate Revisions
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock movements, so it could be truly rewarding if such revisions are tracked for making an investment decision. Here is where the tried-and-tested Zacks Rank stock-rating system plays an important role, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions.
The Zacks Rank stock-rating system, which uses four factors related to earnings estimates to classify stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive externally-audited track record, with Zacks Rank #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>.
Earnings Estimate Revisions for Penske
This auto dealership chain is expected to earn $13.78 per share for the fiscal year ending December 2024, which represents a year-over-year change of -14.4%.
Analysts have been steadily raising their estimates for Penske. Over the past three months, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company has increased 2.9%.
Bottom Line
Unlike the overly optimistic Wall Street analysts whose rating systems tend to be weighted toward favorable recommendations, the Zacks rating system maintains an equal proportion of 'buy' and 'sell' ratings for its entire universe of more than 4000 stocks at any point in time. Irrespective of market conditions, only the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks get a 'Strong Buy' rating and the next 15% get a 'Buy' rating. So, the placement of a stock in the top 20% of the Zacks-covered stocks indicates its superior earnings estimate revision feature, making it a solid candidate for producing market-beating returns in the near term.

The upgrade of Penske to a Zacks Rank #2 positions it in the top 20% of the Zacks-covered stocks in terms of estimate revisions, implying that the stock might move higher in the near term.

This paves the way for smaller, more powerful devices with applications in various fields beyond research labs. However, there are still challenges to address.
Remember those big, clunky machines needed for super precise light measurements? Those days are fading thanks to tiny devices called microcombs. These chips can do the same job, but on a much smaller scale, opening doors for new applications.
Microcombs work by harnessing light in special microstructures to create a rainbow of precise colors, useful for various scientific tasks. Recent breakthroughs have made these microcombs much more efficient, converting more light into a useful rainbow than ever before.
This efficiency boost is like getting more power out of a smaller engine. It paves the way for building microcomb devices that are portable and easy to use outside of labs.
Microcombs are recognized for their outstanding properties, which have enabled a wide range of applications, including spectroscopy, optical frequency synthesis, astronomical calibration, compact atomic clocks, optical communications, LiDAR, and microwave photonics. Ultralow-loss silicon nitride (Si3N4) waveguide technologies have facilitated the rapid transition from device-level demonstrations to system-level integration. These advancements pave the way for the mass production of compact OFCs suitable for deployment outside laboratory environments.
The efficiency of microcombs is a critical metric for their practical applications. Recent advancements have focused on improving efficiency through coupled resonators and broader pumping strategies. Notable progress has been made in generating flat-top microcombs, which distribute power evenly across the comb lines. This uniform power distribution is essential for modern communication systems and other applications that rely on consistent signal strength across multiple channels.
By addressing the limitations in these areas, researchers have significantly improved overall performance. Coupled microresonators have emerged as a promising approach, allowing for better energy flow and bypassing previous theoretical limits. These configurations, guided by the concept of general critical coupling, have demonstrated remarkable efficiency enhancements.
In addition to continuous-wave laser pumping, alternative pump schemes, including pulsed and parametrically-pumped microcombs, have shown enormous potential. These methods improve the temporal overlap between the pump and the soliton, enhancing efficiency.
Researchers are still working on perfecting microcombs, exploring different materials and ways to make them even more efficient. With continued progress, these tiny light combs have the potential to revolutionize various scientific fields.

The Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) on Tuesday disclosed that it has dismissed 20 of its personnel from the service since director general Gregorio Catapang Jr. assumed office two years ago as part of the effort to weed out the agency’s misfits.
Aside from those dismissed from the service, data from the agency revealed that 70 others have been suspended, 10 fined and 19 reprimanded.
The cases of those disciplined personnel range from gross neglect of duty, misconduct and conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the service, serious dishonesty, grave misconduct, neglect of duty and insubordination.
Catapang said that this only showed his commitment and firm stand to cleaning up the agency of undesirables and to uphold integrity and accountability within BuCor.
To recall, Catapang warned officials and employees that he would not hesitate to take actions against those who will violate the rules and regulations within the organization.
“This is a clear message that we will not tolerate any misconduct and inefficiencies in our organization,” Catapang said, adding that the bold stance not only serves to maintain discipline among current employees but also sets a precedent for future hires, emphasizing the importance of upholding the values of BuCor.
“Under the Bagong BuCor sa Bagong Pilipinas, we will hold everybody accountable for their actions by implementing a range of penalties based on the severity of the offenses committed,” said Catapang, adding that the agency is demonstrating fairness and consistency in the administration of justice within the bureau.
He also disclosed that since he assumed office, 95 BuCor personnel have been promoted from the service. | https://tribune.net.ph/2024/10/15/catapang-intensifies-bucor-cleansing | 2024-10-15T18:00:00Z |
Crystal Kung Minkoff was finally coming into her own as a cast member on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills when news broke that she hadn’t been asked back for Season 14.
Months after it was revealed that her time on the Bravo reality series was over, we have an update on her next project.
Deadline reports that the 41-year-old will join forces with fellow Bravolebrity Cynthia Bailey for a new podcast titled Humble Brag With Crystal and Cynthia.
Of course, Cynthia is best known for her lengthy tenure on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, which is set to premiere Season 16 in 2025.
Humble Brag with Crystal Kung Minkoff comes from Envy Media, the company Nick Viall started following the success of his own podcast, The Viall Files.
In a statement, Crystal said she was “thrilled” to work with The Bachelor alum to bring the podcast to life.
“Nick is one of the scrappiest, hardest-working people I’ve met, and his relentless drive for success mirrors my own,” Crystal added.
Crystal and Cynthia will cover many topics
The new podcast will feature the ladies discussing topics related to reality TV, pop culture, and the “celebrity sphere.”
It would be interesting if the pair covered RHOBH Season 14 because it would be intriguing to hear Crystal’s thoughts on the show now that she’s no longer a part of it.
Her affiliation with Bravo is over, so it probably allows her to be more candid about how scenes are set up and specific reactions from her former co-stars.
It’s a real shame Crystal’s time with RHOBH is over because, as we said, she had so much potential to be a great housewife.
Crystal was fired from the show alongside her rival, Annemarie Wiley, as producers opted to hire Bozoma Saint John and Jennifer Tilly as new cast members for Season 14.
RHOA Season 16 promises to be different
Meanwhile, Cynthia is returning to RHOA when it premieres Season 16 next year on Bravo. She will continue on the long-running reality series as a friend of the housewives.
The series has been in the headlines a lot this year, with fans initially excited about Kenya Moore and Porsha Williams reuniting on-screen.
However, Kenya walked from RHOA after allegations that she showed X-rated images of newcomer Brittany Eady.
Fans probably won’t know the whole story until the season premieres because Bravo typically keeps storylines under wraps until the episodes air.
Crystal and Cynthia are not the first Bravolebrities to have a podcast, and they certainly won’t be the last, so it will be good to see how they set their joint effort apart from their predecessors.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is on hiatus at Bravo. Stream Seasons 1-13 on Peacock. The Real Housewives of Atlanta is on hiatus.

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY — The City Local Environment and Natural Resources Office (CLENRO) has begun enforcing anti-epal policy against posters, streamers and other signages of aspiring local and national candidates for various posts in the coming 2025 midterm elections next year.
Engineer Armen Cuenca, Clenro announced that his office has reactivated “Oplan Baklas” that will take down streamers, posters and illegal advertising materials that have sprouted in various parts of the city.
The crackdown is in compliance with Executive Order 1325-2022 issued by Mayor Rolando “Klarex” Uy to remove propaganda materials which photos and identifiable to names, public officers in buildings, overpasses and vehicles owned by the city government.
A city ordinance also prohibits nailing posters on trees, Cuenca, however, clarified that exempted in the crackdown are billboards which have permits from the city business permit and licensing office and billboards on ongoing infrastructure projects in accordance with Commission on Audit directives.
He said the removal of posters and tarpaulins should serve as a reminder to politicians and owners of posters and tarpaulins.
The CLENRO head said the operation will continue, especially that posting of campaign paraphernalia on trees is expected to proliferate during the campaign period for the 2025 midterm elections.
Cuenca also clarified that also exempted in the crackdown are posters and propaganda materials posted in private properties and buildings.
Streamers and posters featuring photos and greetings of national aspiring candidates have also sprouted along national highways in Northern Mindanao.
Among the messages from aspiring candidates are “Amping sa Biyahi” (take care of your travel) and greetings to local fiesta and other celebrations. | https://tribune.net.ph/2024/10/15/cdo-cracks-down-on-epal-posters-streamers | 2024-10-15T18:00:02Z |

Law Firm Expands Services for Auto Accident Injuries in Bellingham & Franklin MA
Auto Accident Injury Help Available with Franklin Law Group in Franklin MA. Call at 617-277-3477 for a Consultation.
FRANKLIN, MA, UNITED STATES, October 15, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Franklin MA October 14, 2024 - Whether an individual is the driver of a vehicle, passenger in a vehicle, or pedestrian struck by a vehicle, monetary compensation for injuries sustained in a collision may be available.The first factor in the analysis of a potential claim is determining who is at fault. In Massachusetts, compensation is available for damages if an individual is less than 50% at fault for the collision. For example, if the total value of injuries and related damages to an individual was $100,000.00, but they were found 49% at fault, the amount of those damages would be reduced by the 49% and that individual would receive $51,000.00 in compensation. If an individual is not at fault, then the individual would receive 100% of the compensation, or $100,000.00.
Fault in a two-car collision is dependent upon the facts of the collision as determined by the police investigation of the collision scene. Once fault is determined to be more than 50% against the other driver and the individual has suffered injuries resulting from the collision, that individual is entitled to damages. Damages are determined by the negligent driver’s insurer and the personal injury attorney representing the individual’s interest in their claim. It is the job of the negligent driver’s insurance company and the claimant’s attorney to value injuries and related damages in good faith at a reasonable amount.
The elements of a claimant’s damages are dependent upon the extent of the injuries caused by the collision. These elements may include:
· Medical treatment costs are the total amount of all treatment costs charged by all the medical facilities and medical professionals involved in the treatment of injuries. The total amount of medical treatment costs is presented to the auto insurer as part of the total compensation of the claim and would also be presented to a jury if the claim went to trial.
· Permanent scarring from a cut caused by the collision or because of a surgery relating to a claimant’s injury. The length of the permanent scar, the appearance of the scar and the location of the scar are all factors in the valuation of permanent scarring. Scarring is determined to be permanent if it is still visible 9-12 months after the injury date or surgery date.
· Pain and suffering endured every day from the time of the collision until the claimant is no longer experiencing pain. During this time, the claimant will have attended various medical treatments as directed by a medical professional. This treatment may involve treatment for soft tissue injuries, physical therapy treatment, injection treatments, or surgery and post-surgery rehabilitation. In some circumstances, injuries do not heal with treatment or surgery. The treating medical professionals may determine that the injuries are permanent from which the claimant will suffer indefinitely. Permanent pain and permanent physical limitations will be valued at a significant amount as a life-long burden to the claimant.
·Lost wages involve the amount of actual weekly wages that were not paid by an employer because of a claimant’s inability to work due to the injuries sustained. Treating medical professionals may recommend that a claimant not go to work due to the extent of the collision-related injuries. The treating medical professionals may issue a note indicating that staying out of work is necessary to assist in the treatment and recovery from collision-related injuries. Lost wages may last a week, months, years or indefinitely.
Lost wages and medical treatment costs are added together to make up the tangible, hard number damages in a claim. Unlike pain and suffering, permanent loss of function, or permanent scarring, which are difficult to place a specific value to, the hard number damages are easier to calculate and are valued as part of the total damages.
Other damages may apply to a claim depending upon the circumstances. In Massachusetts, if an individual suffers injuries resulting from a motor vehicle collision, the spouse and/or younger dependent children may also be entitled to compensation for the loss of companionship, love, guidance, and services that the claimant could not provide due to their injuries.
There is no exact formula to calculate the valuation of a claim. Retaining the service of an auto accident personal injury attorney who is experienced in valuing and negotiating all the elements of a claimant’s damages is critical to receiving the greatest and highest value for the claim.

Kenya Wildlife Service Translocates 50 Elephants to Larger Park Due to Overpopulation
- The Kenya Wildlife Service has translocated 50 elephants from the Mwea Ecosystem to Aberdare National Park
- This is because the elephant population has recently flourished from its maximum capacity of 50 to 156
- The move is also meant to protect wildlife and foster harmonious coexistence with humans
Kenya has translocated 50 elephants from the Mwea Ecosystem to Aberdare National Park to mitigate human-wildlife conflict.
This is because the elephant population has recently flourished from its maximum capacity of 50 to a staggering 156, overwhelming the ecosystem.
According to Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife, Hon Rebecca Miano, the initiative is also meant to manage Mwea's growing elephant population.
Govt spends over KSh 12m to translocate elephants from Mwea National Reserve to Aberdare National Park
The CS emphasized that the government-funded project is part of a broader strategy to protect wildlife and foster harmonious coexistence with humans.
Family groups of elephants are being moved together, and select elephants have been fitted with GPS collars to monitor their movements over the next two years using the Earth Ranger system.
Miano also reassured the local community that their compensation claims for damages caused by wildlife are currently under review.
The Human-Wildlife Conflict Compensation Committee's move demonstrates the government's commitment to addressing the concerns of affected residents.
Dr Erustus Kanga, Director General of KWS, praised the efforts of the 54-member team involved in the translocation.
They include veterinarians, drivers, pilots, and species and communications officers.
He also acknowledged the invaluable contributions of partners like Save the Elephants, whose support has been critical to the project's success.
Furthermore, he commended the local community and leaders for their active involvement, which he believes will significantly reduce conflict and improve livelihoods in the area.
The elephant translocation marks a key step in ensuring the long-term survival of wildlife in Kenya while balancing the needs of local communities.
Govt spends over KSh 12m to translocate elephants
Meanwhile, Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) launched a five-year strategic plan for KSh 98.3 billion to enhance revenue sustainability in the tourism sector.
This came as the government initiated the translocation of elephants from Mwea National Reserve to Aberdare National Park.
Tourism CS Rebecca Miano revealed that the exercise will cost over KSh 12 million.

Bigg Boss 18 EXCLUSIVE: Chaahat Pandey on whether she wants to explore her romantic side in show; 'Jo hoga woh...'
In an exclusive chat with Pinkvilla, Chaahat Pandey opened up about about her strategy for Bigg Boss 18 and shared her admiration for Salman Khan too.
Chaahat Pandey has been hitting the headlines owing to her game in Bigg Boss 18. The actress, who also ventured into politics, has been accused by the housemates of not showing her real personality. For the last few days, she and Vivian Dsena are seen at loggerheads and locking horns. In an exclusive chat with Pinkvilla, before entering the controversial house, Chaahat opened up about whether she is open to exploring her romantic side in the show.
Chaahat Pandey told Pinkvilla, "Abhi wo toh kuch plan nahi kar sakte hum. Jo hoga woh hoga. Romantic side explore kaise karte hain, mujhe pata bhi nahi (laughs) (That is something which we can't plan. Let's see what happens. I don't even know how to explore the romantic side).”
Further, we quizzed her about what can trigger or irk her the most inside the Bigg Boss 18 house. The Nath actress stated, "Jab mujhe lagega ki kuch unfair ho raha hai yaa fir koi jhuth bol raha hai yaa koi misbehave kar raha hai (When I feel that something is unfair or someone is lying or misbehaving)." In addition to this, Chaahat Pandey expressed her admiration for Bigg Boss 18 host Salman Khan. She called him a 'good human being' and underlined how he helps people in need.
Taking the conversation ahead, we asked Chaahat if she had some kind of strategy in her mind that she would follow in the game. Replying to the same, Pandey said, "There's nothing like that. I just want to be real with other housemates."
Take a look at one of the promos of Bigg Boss 18 here:
For the uninitiated, Chaahat Pandey is known for her roles in shows like Tenali Rama, Hamari Bahu Silk, Laal Ishq, and Durga-Mata Ki Chhaya. She was supposed to star in Star Bharat's Radha Krishna alongside Sumedh Mudgalkar. A promo featuring her was also released, but things did not materialize between the actress and the producer.
As a result, Mallika Singh was brought onboard and she replaced Chaahat in the role of Radha. Well, the actress tried her hands in politics by contesting elections for Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party.

This is what Revinylize is all about. It's a one-stop solution for home builders and remodelers to connect with collection sites, recyclers and manufacturers to transform waste into treasure.” - Matt Dobson, Vice President, PEPA
ALEXANDRIA, VA, UNITED STATES, October 15, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- The Revinylize Recycling Collaborative TM estimates that over 300 million pounds of post-consumer vinyl siding is ready for recycling each year, according to recent data from the Polymeric Exterior Products Association (PEPA) , Home Innovation Research Labs and the U.S. Census Bureau. This data, featured along with additional insights here, includes:
New construction: 40 million pounds of recyclable vinyl, including:
o30 million pounds from 250,000 single-family homes
o10 million pounds from 100,000 multi-family homes
Home remodeling: 262 million pounds of recyclable vinyl, including:
o112 million pounds from 900,000 remodeled homes
o150 million pounds from 100,000 vinyl siding tear-offs
Revinylize is a recycling initiative comprised of dedicated installers, recyclers, collection sites and other advocates, in partnership with PEPA and verified by GreenCircle Certified. The program is revolutionizing the recycling of vinyl siding and other rigid vinyl building products by creating an innovative one-stop solution for home builders, remodelers and consumers. This groundbreaking initiative aims to turn "scrap" into valuable, renewable and durable building materials, all while reducing the carbon footprint of construction projects.
“This is what Revinylize is all about,” said Matt Dobson, Vice President of PEPA.“It's a one-stop solution for home builders and remodelers to connect with collection sites, recyclers and manufacturers to transform waste into treasure.”
The benefits of Revinylize are immediate and far-reaching, offering cost savings, opportunities for new business development and the creation of innovative new products made from recycled vinyl. At the same time, it promotes environmental sustainability by reducing carbon emissions. Dobson noted that,“One simple step – joining Revinylize – can open the door to a greener future.”
A Pilot Success and Ambitious Goals
Following a two-year pilot project, Revinylize officially launched in December 2023 in partnership with PEPA, the Vinyl Institute (who made a generous grant to help fund the collaborative), the PVC Pipe Association and the Plastic Pipe and Fittings Association (PPFA). Initial verification came from three top North American rigid vinyl recyclers: JP Industrial, Return Polymers and Viking Recycling. Their efforts were bolstered by collection site expansions, including C&D diversion points at Michael Brothers in Pittsburgh and Richard S. Burns & Company in Philadelphia.
The recycling program's initial target is to recycle 5 million pounds of post-consumer rigid vinyl by the end of 2025, and as of August 2023, Revinylize recycled half a million pounds. With formalized partnerships and expanding operations into Louisville, KY, Nashville, TN and the Northeast, the collaborative is confident it can quadruple these numbers by the end of 2024.
Targeting remodelers, who handle the largest volumes of post-consumer vinyl, is a key focus of the initiative.“We want to connect remodelers with GreenCircle Certified recyclers through Revinylize, who are willing to pay for these large quantities of post-consumer vinyl,” Dobson said.
Join the Movement
Since the official launch of Revinylize last year, the journey toward a more sustainable future is well underway. Builders, remodelers and other industry players are invited to take the next step by joining the collaborative effort to recycle post-consumer rigid vinyl products and contribute to a healthier planet.

China rejected the Philippines’ claim that its vessel “deliberately sideswiped” a Filipino-manned patrol boat in the West Philippine Sea (WPS) last Friday.
During a regular press briefing on Tuesday, Mao Ning, spokesperson for China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, denied that a Chinese vessel executed a dangerous maneuver against a Philippine boat in the disputed waters.
“According to my understanding, the actual situation was that a Philippine government vessel was navigating dangerously in waters under China’s jurisdiction and collided with a Chinese fishing boat that was operating normally in the area,” Mao said.
“The actions of the Philippine side infringed on China’s sovereignty and seriously threatened the safety of Chinese fishing boats and personnel,” she added.
According to the BFAR, the latest collision between Philippine and Chinese vessels occurred near Pag-asa (Sandy) Cay, about five nautical miles from Pag-asa (Thitu) Island in Barangay Pag-asa, Kalayaan, Palawan.
“China urges the Philippine side to genuinely respect China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights in the South China Sea and to cease any actions that may complicate the situation,” she said.
Earlier this week, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) said a Chinese maritime militia vessel deliberately sideswiped one of its two vessels that were conducting regular and rotating missions in the WPS.
According to the BFAR, the latest collision between Philippine and Chinese vessels occurred near Pag-asa (Sandy) Cay, about five nautical miles from Pag-asa (Thitu) Island in Barangay Pag-asa, Kalayaan, Palawan.
The agency said the Philippine vessel BRP Datu Cabaylo was sideswiped by a Chinese maritime militia vessel with bow number 00108, leaving dents in its starboard side. | https://tribune.net.ph/2024/10/15/china-denies-sideswiping-phl-vessel-in-wps | 2024-10-15T18:00:08Z |

The News
ALLEN, Tex. – Democrats are talking up Senate races in Texas and Florida as opportunities to keep their majority, a move designed to give them a fighting chance even if Montana Sen. Jon Tester loses re-election next month.
Republicans think that’s pretty funny, at times mocking Democrats’ efforts — even though multiple polls show Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, locked in a tight race and some vulnerabilities for Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla. On the outer edges of the battleground, Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb., is in a far tighter race than expected against independent labor leader Dan Osborn, although national Democrats are still skeptical of his chances.
And Cruz seems to recognize there’s no one Democrats would like to beat more than him — both to hold the majority and to oust one of their top foils.
“If you are a partisan left wing Democrat, after Donald Trump, there’s nobody in the country you want to beat more than me,” Cruz said after a campaign stop here. “What is happening is every wild eyed leftist in New York City and Chicago and San Francisco goes online and gives money to my opponent.”
To win the Senate, Cruz’s party needs to pick up two seats, or just one if Donald Trump wins the presidency and JD Vance casts the tie-breaking vote in the Senate. Republican West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice will almost certainly replace Sen. Joe Manchin, I-W.Va. And Tester has trailed in every public poll of his state since summer.
That math convinced some handicappers to predict a GOP takeover of the Senate. Democrats pushed back on that this fall, announcing that the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee would invest in both Texas and Florida.
“If you look at Ted Cruz in Texas, he just tends to be a more polarizing, partisan figure,” said DSCC Chair Gary Peters, D-Mich., in an interview with Semafor. “Rick Scott can be a very polarizing individual. If you look at his past races statewide, he’s never won by more than a little over 1%.”
The DSCC is in the midst of a “multimillion dollar” ad campaign in Florida and Texas. The group already launched ads with Rep. Colin Allred, Cruz’s challenger, and this week is kicking off joint ad buys this week with former Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, D-Fla. Still, both states are expensive and it might take tens of millions to make a real impact in either.
Democrats also have had a dialed-in donor base this cycle, which has helped boost campaigns with much-needed hard money. Allred in particular is raking in the fundraising, giving him a fighting chance.
“We have to make sure that we can communicate across a state this size, and I think we have a great story to tell,” Allred told Semafor.
In this article:
Know More
The Senate campaign committees and their allied PACs have spent hundreds of millions of dollars in half a dozen states, with Democrats mostly playing defense on a sprawling map: Montana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Nevada. By recruiting former Gov. Larry Hogan to run for Maryland’s open seat, Republicans also forced Democrats to spend more than $15 million in a deep blue state, even as recent polling shows Democrat Angela Alsobrooks taking a solid lead.
Both parties are still trying to expand the map, with late outside GOP money coming against Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., and Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich. Democrats are anxiously eyeing Nebraska, but they can’t help Osborn without muddying his identity as an independent, and they’ve seen similar independent candidacies fall short in recent cycles after initially polling well.
Texas looks more and more competitive for Democrats, as Florida appears to drift further away. That makes Allred, who out-raised Cruz by nearly $10 million in the last three months, look compelling to donors after ex-Rep. Beto O’Rourke came less than 3 points from unseating the senator in 2018.
Allred, a former pro football player and civil rights attorney from the metroplex, has run a more careful campaign, against an incumbent with little crossover appeal who ran for president from the hard right.
“People in Texas know him,” Peters said of Cruz. “It’s pretty hard to rebrand yourself when you’ve already been branded.”
Democrats feel the same about Scott, who presided over the GOP’s poor 2022 cycle while campaigning on his own fiscally conservative “Rescue America” plan that featured a headline-grabbing proposal to sunset programs like Social Security (he later walked it back). Mucarsel-Powell, who served just one term in the House from South Florida, got some traction by running on abortion rights, with a popular abortion rights amendment on the ballot this November.
But Republicans still don’t see a serious threat to Scott, who has won races after trailing in the polls, and currently holds a lead. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell calls the Democrats’ offensive forays a “waste of money.”
“We don’t think we’re going to lose incumbents,” he said in a recent interview.
Still, Republicans are spending in Nebraska to blunt the independent candidacy of Osborn, a union organizer who turned down the Democratic nomination and has run surprisingly competitive with Fischer. Last week, a super PAC with ties to Nebraska GOP Sen. Pete Ricketts invested $2 million in ads against Osborn. Its competition: Super PACs funded by Democratic donors, but not directed by the party in the Senate.
David’s and Burgess’ View
Democrats are committed to Tester, who can win only by running far ahead of the presidential ticket and every current poll. Only one senator pulled this off recently: Maine’s Susan Collins, who outperformed every poll in her race. She’s had more cross-party appeal in her other races than Tester had in his.
This is why the party wants donors and reporters to see a larger map — one where they can trade Republican-trending Montana for Texas, or make a post-election deal with an independent senator in Nebraska. It’s important for Democrats to be able to present a pathway to a majority, however difficult, to keep raising money and getting attention.
There are also some candidate-specific factors. Cruz and Scott are far more polarizing than Sen. John Cornyn, who is up for re-election in 2026, and Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., who won by 16 points in 2022. So Democrats are taking their shots while they still can.
“In both states, the momentum is moving in a way that we like,” Peters said. “So I would expect that we’re going to continue to invest through the end.”

Chiefs vs. 49ers Prediction, Odds, Spread, Injuries, Trends for NFL Week 7 (Back This Chiefs Trend)
Week 7 of the 2024 NFL season brings a Super Bowl 58 rematch between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers.
Oddsmakers have set the 5-0 Chiefs as underdogs in this matchup – the first time they’ve been dogs in the 2024 season.
San Francisco picked up a much-needed win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 6, getting back to .500 and first place in the NFC West in the process.
Meanwhile, the Chiefs are coming off their bye, a spot that they’ve thrived in during the Andy Reid era.
Here’s a breakdown of the odds, key players to watch and my best bet for Week 7.

Chiefs vs. 49ers Betting Trends
- The Chiefs are 4-1 against the spread this season.
- The 49ers are 3-3 against the spread this season.
- The OVER is 4-2 in the 49ers’ games this season.
- The UNDER is 3-2 in the Chiefs’ games this season.
- Patrick Mahomes has won six straight games as an underdog.
The biggest trend to know this week has to do with Mahomes as an underdog…
Chiefs vs. 49ers Injury Report
Chiefs Injury Report
- Mike Danna – questionable
- Rashee Rice – out
49ers Injury Report
- Christian McCaffrey – out
- Matthew Wright – questionable
- Jordan Mason – questionable
- Malik Mustapha – questionable
- Jordan Elliott – questionable
- Charvarius Ward – questionable
- Jake Moody – doubtful
- Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles – questionable
Chiefs vs. 49ers Key Players to Watch
Kansas City Chiefs
Patrick Mahomes: Let’s be honest, Patrick Mahomes has not been great to start 2024. Yes, the Chiefs are 5-0, but Mahomes has thrown just six scores to six interceptions. Can he get back on track with Rashee Rice and Isiah Pacheco sidelined?
San Francisco 49ers
Deebo Samuel: Samuel had over 100 yards and a score in Week 6, and he could be in line for a bigger dual workload in Week 7 with Chrisitian McCaffrey out and Jordan Mason dealing with a shoulder injury. Deebo is the most dynamic weapon in the San Fran offense until CMC returns.
Chiefs vs. 49ers Prediction and Pick
The Chiefs have gotten off to a fast start this season for bettors, going 4-1 against the spread despite being favored in every game. The only matchup that Kansas City has failed to cover in during the 2024 season was in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Now, it finds itself as an underdog against a banged up San Francisco team that has lost to the Minnesota Vikings, Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals.
This game looks eerily similar to the Super Bowl last season in terms of the odds, the Chiefs are just without Rashee Rice and Isiah Pacheco and the 49ers are without Christian McCaffrey.
I understand why oddsmakers are setting the Chiefs as dogs on the road, but I’m not going to bet against this Mahomes trend.
He’s been money as an underdog in his career, and Andy Reid is 12-4 straight up out of a bye (including playoffs) week since he took over in Kansas City.
Give me the Chiefs to win.
Pick: Chiefs Moneyline (+102)
Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.

Save My Life 12 Charity Gala held at Benidorm Palace Credit: FB: Save my Life Animal Charity Benidorm
The Save My Life 12 Charity Gala, held on Sunday October 13, at Benidorm Palace, was a resounding success.
Over 900 attendees gathered for an afternoon of entertainment and fundraising, demonstrating our community’s strong commitment to supporting abandoned and abused animals. The phenomenal event raised an astounding €36,926.97 for the charity, which was understandably overwhelmed and humbled by the support shown. This has since been made up to a nice round €37,000 by a very kind man called Paul Moor.
In a post on their Facebook page, a representative for the charity said, “We honestly and truly are lost for words by the amount raised at our Save My Life 12 Charity Gala Benidorm. This is absolutely unreal, and we are overwhelmed by everyone’s generosity.”
This epic fundraising extravaganza featured 10 fantastic acts, including dance and magic performances. However, the stars of the show were undoubtedly Beatrice and Little Man (Yoda) two dogs from the shelter who entered the stage and left many of the audience teary-eyed and overcome with emotion.
Just a few short months ago, it was doubtful if Little Man was going to make it, and Beatrice the 13 year old blind sweet lady was only taken out of the shelter six days ago.
The event itself offered many different opportunities to raise desperately needed funds, including two very special items in the auction: a mobility scooter and framed Mayweather memorabilia. Collectively, these two items alone raised a staggering €6,000 as the guests went into a bidding frenzy!
Christine Climent, the owner of Benidorm Palace, also expressed her gratitude on Facebook, saying, “A million times thank you to everyone who attended our gala fundraising day. Without your support, we couldn’t keep on doing what we do.”

CAIRO — (AP) — The Grand Egyptian Museum will partially open its main galleries on Wednesday, including 12 halls that exhibit aspects of ancient Egypt, as part of a trial run, officials said Tuesday.
The museum, a mega-project near the famed Giza Pyramids which has cost well over $1 billion so far, will open the halls for 4,000 visitors as a trial run until the official opening date, which is yet to be announced, according to Al-Tayeb Abbas, assistant to the minister of antiquities.
The opening of the museum, which has been under construction for more than a decade, has been repeatedly delayed for various reasons, including the COVID-19 pandemic.
More than 100,000 artifacts of Egypt's ancient treasures will be displayed in the world's largest archaeological museum, according to the Egyptian state information website.
Abbas told the AP that the trial run starting Wednesday would help prepare for the full opening by providing a deeper understanding of issues related to operations such as identifying overcrowded areas across the museum.
The displays across the 12 halls tap into issues related to society, religion, and doctrine in ancient Egypt, he added. All open-style halls have been classified by dynasty and historical order, and each will showcase at least 15,000 artifacts.
Eras that will be exhibited in the main galleries include the Third Intermediate Period (about 1070-664 B.C.), Late Period (664-332 B.C.), Graeco-Roman Period (332 B.C.-395 A.D.), New Kingdom (1550-1070 B.C.), Middle Kingdom (2030-1650 B.C.), and Old Kingdom (2649-2130 B.C.). One of the halls displays statues of “Elite of the King,” members of the royal family and high-ranking officials who worked in the army, priesthood, and the government.
Parts of the site have already been open for limited tours since late 2022 to test visitors’ experience and the museum’s operational preparedness.
Aude Porcedde, a Canadian tourist who visited several sections, told the AP she was amazed by the museum, adding that Egyptian civilization is important for her and for the world to know more about.
“There is a lot of history and a lot of things we are not aware of, especially coming from the other side of the world, and seeing everything here and learning from the locals has been great,” said Costa Rican tourist Jorge Licano.
The grand staircase, six stories high and with a view of the pyramids, and the commercial area are open to the public, showcasing monuments and artifacts that include sarcophagi and statues. Other parts of the museum, including the King Tutankhamun treasure collection, are set to open at later dates.
All halls are equipped with advanced technology and feature multimedia presentations to explain the lives of the ancient Egyptians, including its kings, according to Eissa Zidan, Director-General of the Preliminary Restoration and Antiquities Transfer at the museum.
One of the halls will use virtual reality to explain the history of burial and its development throughout ancient Egypt.
“The museum is not only a place to display antiquities, but it also aims to attract children to learn about ancient Egyptian history ... The museum is a gift to all the world,” Zidan told the AP.

U.S. National Security Council calls Israeli strike on Gaza hospital, fire in tent camp horrifying
A recent Israeli air strike on a hospital that sparked a fire at a tent camp in Gaza is being called "horrifying" by the U.S. National Security Council. CBS News' Ramy Inocencio and Nancy Cordes have more. | https://www.cbsnews.com/video/us-national-security-council-calls-israeli-strike-on-gaza-hospital-fire-in-tent-camp-horrifying/ | 2024-10-15T18:00:11Z |
The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq have edged higher while the Dow dropped, with the benchmark index hovering near record highs as investors parsed a mixed set of quarterly results from companies such as UnitedHealth and Bank of America.
In early trading on Tuesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 222.22 points, or 0.52 per cent, to 42,843.00, the S&P 500 gained 4.97 points, or 0.08 per cent, to 5,864.82 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 34.53 points, or 0.19 per cent, to 18,537.21.
Eight of the 11 S&P 500 sectors trended upwards, with Financials among top gainers with a 0.6 per cent rise, after several major banks reported results, adding to optimism after a set of positive earnings from institutions including JPMorgan Chase last week.
Bank of America jumped 2.2 per cent following a third-quarter profit beat while Charles Schwab soared 7.8 per cent after beating estimates.
The broader Banks index was trading at its highest level in more than two years.
However, Citigroup slipped 1.5 per cent after its results while Goldman Sachs dipped 0.4 per cent - both reversing pre-market gains.
"The financial sector (is) experiencing upward revisions to third-quarter earnings estimates but it's going from a low single digit gain to a mid-single digit gain - certainly not knocking the ball out of the park," Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA Research, said.
Meanwhile, the blue-chip Dow opened at a record high but quickly fell, weighed down by an 8.8 per cent slump in health insurer UnitedHealth after the company reported a surge in medical costs in the third quarter.
Energy stocks were down, with Exxon Mobil losing 3.1 per cent and Occidental Petroleum shedding 3.4 per cent, as crude prices dropped 4.0 per cent.
Growth stocks were broadly mixed, with AI-darling Nvidia falling 1.6 per cent following a record high close on Monday, after a report the US is considering limiting exports of advanced artificial intelligence chips from the company and other US peers to some countries.
Apple jumped 2.5 per cent.
"Nothing has really happened just yet to offer any good guidance for investors," Stovall said.
A number of S&P 500 companies are scheduled to report results through the week.
The large ones will have to justify their expensive stock valuations, particularly in the tech sector where valuations have grown increasingly inflated in the past year.
Boeing rose 0.4 per cent after the plane maker filed to raise up to $US25 billion ($A37 billion) through a stock and debt offering and entered into a $US10 billion credit agreement amid a crippling strike and upcoming debt maturities.
Walgreens Boots Alliance soared 13.6 per cent after narrowly beating Wall Street's lowered estimates for fourth-quarter adjusted profit.
Traders are pricing in about an 88 per cent chance the Fed will cut interest rates by 25 basis points in November and a slight probability it will leave rates unchanged, according to CME's FedWatch.
Speeches from Federal Reserve officials Adriana Kugler, Mary Daly and Raphael Bostic are also on deck while economic data including the monthly retail sales figures is due on Thursday.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by a 1.48-to-1 ratio on the NYSE, and by a 1.14-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq.
The S&P 500 posted 81 new 52-week highs and no new lows while the Nasdaq Composite recorded 68 new highs and 20 new lows. | https://www.perthnow.com.au/business/markets/wall-street-mixed-as-investors-assess-earnings-c-16406093 | 2024-10-15T18:00:10Z |

Museum Visitors In UK Can Engage In AI-Powered Conversations With Extinct And Endangered Species
The AI is programmed to respond in more than 20 languages
Visitors to the University of Cambridge's Museum of Zoology have the chance to engage in two-way conversations with some of history's most iconic animals, thanks to an innovative use of artificial intelligence.
The experiment begins on Tuesday and will allow museum-goers to chat with 13 specimens, including the extinct dodo, a red panda and a giant blue-fin whale skeleton.
The museum's assistant director, Jack Ashby, explained that the project aims to engage people more deeply with the natural world while providing insights into what museum visitors are most curious about.
Visitors can start a conversation with the exhibit specimen by scanning a QR code with their smartphones.
"Our whole purpose is to get people engaged with the natural world," Ashby said. "So we're curious to see whether this will work, and whether chatting to the animals will change people's attitudes towards them - will the cockroach be better liked, for example, as a result of having its voice heard?"
The AI-powered initiative is a collaboration between the Museum of Zoology and Nature Perspectives, a company that specializes in using AI for public engagement. The conversations with the animal specimens will be crafted from a simulated first-person perspective, drawing on scientific data to create realistic and informative responses.
"One of the most magical aspects of the simulations is that they're age-adaptive," said Gal Zanir, co-founder of Nature Perspectives. "For the first time, visitors of all ages will be able to ask the specimens anything they like."
The dodo, which has long been a symbol of extinction, will "come to life" in the virtual world.
Other specimens include the narwhal and bluefin whale skeletons, a preserved cockroach, and even an Ichthyostega model—a long-extinct ancestor of four-legged animals. The AI can communicate in over 20 languages, making it accessible to a global audience.

Moreover, the two actors who have received these titles in their country have also worked in India.
Shah Rukh Khan of Pakistan
The craze for films in Pakistan is just like India. An actor from Pakistan's superhit TV serial 'Zindagi Gulzar Hai' became a topic of discussion in the corridors of Indian cinema as well. After watching this TV show, people started comparing this actor with Shah Rukh Khan. People compared the expressions, style, and gait of this actor with Shah Rukh.

Monthly SQL hell
September 30, 2024Recently, I learned from MySQL 8.0 docs, that:
If you want to make your queries as fast as possible, look out for Extra column values of Using filesort and Using temporary, or, in JSON-formatted EXPLAIN output, for using_filesort and using_temporary_table properties equal to true.
So, I guess that I should probably stay away from these filesort and temporary table things. That sounds fair 🤔
You already know where this is going, but let’s see what
EXPLAIN
has to say about this suspiciously large query.

Residents are reeling from devastating rain and flooding from Hurricane Helene and now Hurricane Milton. Wars and conflict continue to bring suffering to Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan and many other places. People around the world are eager to help. How do you ensure that your donations will do the most good?
These are the guidelines suggested by experts in humanitarian aid.
Start with due diligence
Giving right away is important for immediate needs, says Ruth Messinger, a global ambassador for the American Jewish World Service and its former president. But, she emphasizes, "Never give to a brand new charity that does not have a track record." To find out more about an organization's track record, there are several resources, including BBBWise, Charity Navigator, the Center for Disaster Philanthropy and CharityWatch.
Also take a look at an organization's annual report. It should be found on their website (and if not, ask why not). The report should tell you how the group responded to past crises.
Make sure the charity is situated to help in this emergency.
Give priority to local nonprofits that have an established presence in the area, says Victoria Vrana, CEO of Global Giving, an organization that connects donors to nonprofits working toward various humanitarian causes around the globe.
“They understand their community needs better than anyone else. They truly are the first responders, before anyone else swoops in,” says Vrana. In funding local, “you're investing in the infrastructure of the place for the future. As you help build them up and keep supporting them, they will be [an ongoing] part of that community.”
Would-be donors can search for local organizations helping a particular cause and see more about the work they’re doing on Charity Navigator. And many larger organizations, including Global Giving, vet local organizations and then partner with them to maximize their impact. Partnerships between local and international groups should be spelled out on the group's website or annual report.
Any red flags to watch out for before donating?
Perhaps most obvious, you should get a receipt for your donation for tax purposes. If you don't receive one, something's amiss. The organization should also be able to provide its employee identification number (nonprofits and charities are required to have this government number before filing for tax exemption). You can look them up on ProPublica’s nonprofit database if you’re interested to see details such as executive compensation, revenue, expenses and more.
Also beware of:
- potential scams: asking you to send money to a personal bank account
- social media campaigns that seem sketchy – from photos that seem exploitive of people who are suffering to bullying tactics to press for donations to fuzzy “matching donation” schemes
- websites that seem incomplete, lacking budget rundowns or essential information about how the organization works and what it does.
Should you send money or stuff?
Our experts agree: Give cash!
Whether it’s a natural disaster or a humanitarian crisis, needs on the ground can change rapidly, even within hours. Giving cash allows organizations the flexibility to support what’s most needed at all stages of the crisis.
If you are keen on providing aid of a particular kind — children’s health or medical aid or food, for instance — look for humanitarian organizations that specialize in those areas.
Any specific considerations in wartorn areas?
All this advice holds true for supporting people living in war zones or ongoing conflict.
And, it’s particularly important to make sure the organization is based in or working in the conflict zone, says Dr. Paul Spiegel, director of the Center for Humanitarian Health and a professor at Johns Hopkins, who responded to questions via email while working in Mali.
“More and more, people may wish to consider [in-country] organizations who are there on the ground, know the culture and speak the language. Many conflicts last for years, and people should consider sustainability; providing funds to local organizations who will be there in the long run.”
In conflict, there are so many needs — medicine, food, water, shelter, mental health support — it's important to ensure that organizations are focusing on these humanitarian goals, says Vrana.
“We do screen all the activities and all the missions, to make sure they are fully focused on those things, and not anything that’s directly involved in supporting the military or something like that.”
How can I help over the long haul?
Conflict often lasts for years, leaving people displaced for long periods or permanently, says Siegel, so supporting local organizations and offering ongoing support is vital. “Once the media have gone, the funding reduces and these people often suffer accordingly.”
Whether it’s a natural disaster or a humanitarian crisis, 70-80% funding goes to short-term relief, and most of it is given in the first few months, says Vrana.
Consider making a recurring donation, says Vrana, “it can be like $5 a month, just set it and know that you’re in it for the long term.”
There are also humanitarian crises and wars that never make the headlines, says Vrana, such as in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Myanmar, Venezuela and more.
Global Giving recently started a fund to support crises that don’t attract high levels of global attention, Vrana says, “to have a more equitable approach to supporting organizations around the world.”
