For the fourth consecutive year, the No. 1 player from the PGA Tour University standings at the end of the fall college golf season will earn an exemption into the prestigious Hero Dubai Desert Classic.
This year, the top-ranked player as of November 27, 2024, will secure an invitation to compete in the Rolex Series event at Emirates Golf Club, scheduled for January 16–19, 2025.
In the last two years, the top-ranked PGA Tour University player made the cut at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic. Ludvig Åberg finished tied for 70th in 2023, while
Michael Thorbjornsen secured an impressive tie for 11th in 2024. Both players went on to conclude their collegiate careers ranked No. 1 in the PGA Tour University standings, earning PGA Tour membership.
Åberg continued his success by winning for the first time on both the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour, earning a Ryder Cup captain’s pick in his rookie season. Thorbjornsen posted two top-10 finishes in 10 PGA Tour starts since turning pro in June while Sam Bennett, the first PGA Tour University exemption into the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, finished 31st on the Korn Ferry Tour Points List in his second pro season.
Simon Corkill, Executive Tournament Director of the Dubai Desert Classic, said: “We’re thrilled to once again offer the top-ranked player in PGA Tour University an exemption into the Hero Dubai Desert Classic.
"This event has a rich history of showcasing future stars, and we’re proud to be a part of the journey for these talented young golfers.
“Watching players like Ludvig Åberg and Michael Thorbjornsen not only compete but excel on the global stage reinforces the significance of this opportunity,” he added. “We look forward to welcoming the next top-ranked player to Emirates Golf Club and seeing what they can achieve in this prestigious Rolex Series event.”
Auburn’s Brendan Valdes is currently No. 1 in the PGA Tour University Ranking, and he narrowly leads North Carolina’s David Ford. Also in contention for the exemption are Arizona State teammates Josele Ballester (No. 3), who won the U.S. Amateur earlierthis summer, and Preston Summerhays (No. 4).
The No. 1 player in the PGA Tour University Ranking on November 27 th, 2024, will not only receive the exemption into the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, but also the full PGA Tour University points for his finish in the event.
Brendan von Doehren, Executive Director of PGA Tour University, said: “The Hero Dubai Desert Classic has played an integral role in the careers of Sam Bennett, Ludvig Åberg and Michael Thorbjornsen, and we couldn’t be more thankful for the tournament’s support of PGA Tour University and amateur golf.
"There’s no better way to prepare for a professional career than competing against the world’s best in an event like the Hero Dubai Desert Classic”

In a relentless pursuit of one of a degree considered the noblest in academia, we often forget the cost it extracts from those who seek it. Each year, India produces more than 24,000 doctoral graduates, ranking fourth in the world, as per the OCED report. It is home to some of the most prestigious institutions and research organizations, that have produced leading scientists, engineers, and veterans. For millions of students, it is the pinnacle of achievement, a place where years of blood, sweat, and tears will be rewarded. From exhausting examinations to proposals, they somehow reach their dream college to get their ‘PhD’ degree. However, behind the accolades and academic achievements, they meet a reality that no one talks about – a grim and silent struggle.
Reports of PhD students being under immense stress and depression have been raising concerns in the academic fraternity. In a recent survey by a student body at IIT-K, research scholars spoke about their challenges – almost 80% of the enrolled scholars agreed that they have faced mental health issues during their doctorate program. The survey also revealed that 60% of the students wanted to drop out of their research programs for various factors which included ‘favoritism,’ ‘elitism,’ and ‘casteism’ by academic guides. The situation is concerning especially when the institute has witnessed four suicides by three PhD students and one postgraduate student since last year.
Mental health professionals often highlight the complex nature of issues faced by the PhD students. In Western countries where counseling forms an integral part of the PhD process, Indian institutions lack accessible and stigma-free mental health support systems. The students often face multiple challenges including – pressure to publish papers, lack of funding, limited resources, institutional apathy, and isolation are just some of them that are visible on the surface.
The stigma surrounding mental health challenges faced by academicians adds to the load. Students are often expected to bear all the adversity in the name of ‘hard work’. They hesitate to seek any help afraid of being labelled as weak or incapable. These students often isolate themselves on this long journey, and one of the reasons is seeing their peers climb the corporate ladder.
As if the constant pressure wasn’t enough, the toxic relationship between guides and the students is also one of the challenges. Each student is required to complete their PhD under senior professors or guides, who often wield enormous power over their mentees. The power is often abused, where differences and disagreements can be taken in a negative light, impacting the career of the students. In December 2022, an MS-PhD student at IISER Pune tried to end her life after her professor’s guide stole her ‘thesis’ because she reported his abusive behavior to the committee. This isn’t an isolated incident and the fact that many of them go unreported due to the fear of being sabotaged and excluded from the community.
PhD students extensively rely on funding and fellowships, which help them to pursue their research. However, bureaucratic red tape and lack of budget make it a drowning field. Scholars at central and state universities have complained of the meager stipend that they receive, making it difficult to even pay the rent, let alone carry research as a full-time job. While NEP 2020 promises better infrastructure and extensive funding to improve the situation, researchers are still struggling. These students, especially from socially and marginalized communities are even more affected by the financial precarity. They have to take up freelance and full-time jobs which further adds to stress and strain, not allowing them to devote actual time and energy to their academic aspirations.
PhD is a long road and is certainly rewarding at the end. However, the path is filled with obstacles that need to be addressed as soon as possible. Academic institutions need to overhaul their priorities, valuing the well-being of their students as much as research outcomes. These scholars are the future of academia and it is time that we ensure they have the support they need to thrive, not just survive. | https://www.scoopwhoop.com/career/phd-grim-reality-of-indian-academia/ | 2024-10-15T18:12:25Z |
The ongoing internal struggle at Red Bull has led to speculations running wild over Max Verstappen and his future. Add to that Mercedes boss Toto Wolff’s attempts to sign the Dutchman and the rumors find legitimacy. Wolff may have eventually settled with Andrea Kimi Antonelli, but the mystery around Verstappen’s future with Red Bull remains.
Despite the same, he is in no mood to add any fuel to them and has set out a path for himself for the coming months. Verstappen recently encountered the question of whether he was keeping his options open for the 2026 season. While he acknowledged it was possible he may leave Red Bull, he made it clear that thinking about the same was certainly not his priority in the present.
Speaking with Motorsport.com, he said, “Yes, of course, I know it’s possible, but I’m not thinking about it at the moment. I think I have enough to worry about at the moment with other things that we want to do better. We’ll see what happens in the future. I’m not thinking about it too much at the moment, to be honest. But if it doesn’t happen, oh well. It won’t change my life.”
Max Verstappen: “I think I have enough to worry about at the moment with other things that we want to do better.”

Several factors make Verstappen an ideal target for many F1 teams. One of those is his ongoing form behind the wheel. Verstappen is not only the defending champion but is also showing great resilience in churning out the best results he can with a car that is no longer as dominant as it once was.
Another reason is the set of new regulations that will come into play in 2026. Teams will look to lock in their ideal driver lineups and curate their 2026 cars in accordance with the racing style of their drivers. Roping in Verstappen a year before would therefore be ideal.
Is Verstappen keen on racing in F1 beyond 2026?
The 27-year-old has time and again reiterated his desire to call it quits in F1 earlier than most expect him to go on. Among the reasons is his interest in different disciplines in racing and the wish to spend more time with his family.
The ongoing developments in F1 have further fueled his desire to hang up his racing boots sooner. For instance, the Dutchman made it clear that he did not support the increasing fixtures in the F1 calendar, which has reached 24 in a year.
The recent tussle with the FIA over swearing in a press conference and the resultant community service sentence once again made him rethink his future in F1. Whether he plans on acting on these threats to retire is not known.
As for his plans after F1, Verstappen has revealed that he is keen to set up his own racing team. The three-time F1 champion has neither specified which discipline he will choose nor has he thought about his role — whether it will be as a driver, a team principal, or just as an owner/part owner. | https://thesportsrush.com/f1-news-i-have-enough-to-worry-about-max-verstappen-dismisses-rivals-poaching-attempts-for-2026/ | 2024-10-15T18:12:30Z |

90s Bollywood sensation Shilpa Shirodkar has once again stepped into the limelight, this time as a contestant on Bigg Boss 18. The show has a way of making people talk, but Shilpa is no stranger to that. After all, she was a leading lady back in the day, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Amitabh Bachchan, Govinda, and Shah Rukh Khan.
But where has she been all these years? Well, let’s dive into Shilpa’s rollercoaster of a journey because it’s definitely more than just a Bigg Boss comeback story.
Born into a family with acting in its blood, Shilpa made her Bollywood debut with Bhrashtachar at just 18 years old, playing a blind girl in a Ramesh Sippy film. Not a bad way to start, right? But it wasn’t smooth sailing from there. Before her big break, Shilpa was labeled a “jinx” in the industry after losing out on two films. Luckily, Mithun Chakraborty believed in her and pushed for her casting in Bhrashtachar—and the rest, as they say, is history. She quickly became a household name, starring in films with some of the biggest Bollywood legends.
Did you know Shilpa was the Original Choice for Chaiyya Chaiyya?
But, it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows. Did you know Shilpa was the original choice for Chaiyya Chaiyya? Yes, that iconic number from Dil Se…. But, according to her, the producers thought she was “too fat” for the song. Ouch. That was a tough pill to swallow, but Shilpa shrugged it off as destiny and continued to shine on screen. Eventually, she got to work with Shah Rukh Khan on Gaja Gamini—a dream come true for her.
However, in 2000, Shilpa decided to take a step back from acting after marrying UK-based merchant banker Apresh Ranjit. Moving to the UK with her new family, Shilpa put her acting career on hold to raise their daughter Anoushka. But Bollywood wasn’t entirely out of her system. She made a TV comeback in 2013 with Ek Mutthi Aasmaan and is now back in action on Bigg Boss 18.
Shilpa has the Biggest Family Support
What’s even more heartwarming is the support she’s received from her family. Her sister, Namrata Shirodkar, and brother-in-law, Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu, have been her biggest cheerleaders. Before entering the Bigg Boss house, Shilpa shared photos of Namrata and Mahesh, showing how proud they are of her. “They are very proud of me, and I know I’m going to make them even prouder,” she said in an interview.
From losing out on roles to being labeled a “jinx,” to becoming a 90s sensation and now re-emerging on our screens, Shilpa’s journey is proof that no matter how many twists and turns life takes, passion always finds its way back. | https://www.scoopwhoop.com/entertainment/all-about-bigg-boss-18-contestant-shilpa-shirodkar/ | 2024-10-15T18:12:31Z |

New data finds consumers are increasingly AI-reliant, while the majority remain in the dark regarding just how much data these tools collect
WARRINGTON, England, Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Cassie, the leading consent and preference management platform serving Fortune 500 companies globally, today released the findings of its report: The AI Trade-Off. Surveying over 600 consumers in the United States, the results uncover which AI perks consumers find irresistible, even if it means compromising their personal information – as well as the deal-breakers that deter them from using AI tools.
From virtual assistants to smart home devices, AI tools offer unmatched convenience, but this often comes at the cost of sharing personal data. According to the report, 34% of AI users incorporate these tools into their daily lives for a variety of tasks, including setting reminders (62%), checking the weather (63%), and playing music (67%). However, this convenience comes at a price that most users don't even know they're paying: while 78% of AI users value their data privacy more than the conveniences of AI, over half (54%) are unaware of how much personal data these tools collect.
Adding to these concerns is the fact that half of consumers don't actually know how AI works, with 52% not confident in their ability to distinguish between AI-powered and non AI-powered tools. While only 14% claim to not use any AI tools, 79% of those who don't use AI admit that they aren't entirely sure which tools constitute "AI-powered."
"Consumers have grown to love the convenience that AI tools offer, but there's a worrying indifference as to how their data is being used," said Nicky Watson, founder of Cassie. "As the public becomes more privacy-conscious, it's important for them to understand the risks involved with using AI, such as data breaches or misuse of personal information. By being transparent about data practices and giving clear consent options, companies can build trust and help users feel more secure with their AI experiences."
Additional key findings from Cassie's AI Trade-Off report include:
- When data is the currency, many users experience buyer's remorse: 3 in 10 AI users believe AI tools collect too much personal data.
- Notably 71% have regretted data sharing with an AI tool after discovering the extent of what they shared.
- While 84% of consumers are aware that AI collects data to train models, a majority (85%) admit they don't know how much data is actually being collected for this purpose.
- Many consumers struggle to comprehend AI data-sharing policies, with 78% finding them confusing and 87% believing these policies often fail to prioritize consumer data protection.
- To address these challenges, 95% of consumers believe that opting out of data sharing should be a fundamental right, indicating a strong need for brands to offer clearer pathways for consent.

AFCON 2025: Sudan Beat Ghana in Destiny Defining Game in Libya, 4 Things We Learned
- Ghana suffered yet another setback in their quest for qualification to the 2025 AFCON with a defeat against Sudan
- The Black Stars' qualification hangs by a thread, with two destiny-defining games left to turn things around
- We take a look at the four key takeaways from the clash, which has rendered Ghana winless in the qualifiers so far

Ghana's quest to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) was severely hampered by a disappointing 2-0 loss to Sudan.
In what was a crucial matchday four of the qualifiers, the Black Stars struggled to assert themselves, falling to the Falcons of Jediane in Libya.
Sudan stun Ghana in Libya
The turning point came in the 62nd minute when Ahmed Hamed Mahmoud capitalised on a defensive mishap to open the scoring, 3news reports.
A failed clearance in the Ghanaian box led to confusion, allowing Mahmoud to slot the ball home.
Just three minutes later, Sudan doubled their lead through Mohamed Abdelrahman, leaving the Black Stars with a mountain to climb.
Despite Ghana’s efforts in the closing stages, Otto Addo's team couldn't break through, per Myjoyonline.
Here, YEN.com.gh breaks down four things we gleaned from Ghana’s loss as they edge closer to the painful prospect of missing the AFCON for the first time since 2004.
1. Kwesi Appiah outwits Otto Addo
Over the two-legged tie, Kwesi Appiah showcased his tactical superiority over Otto Addo.
After securing a draw in Accra, Appiah's tactical approach was even more impressive in Libya, where he masterminded a clinical win.
His strategy focused on neutralising Ghana’s attacking talents, particularly captain Mohammed Kudus, and it worked perfectly.
The Black Stars were limited to just one shot on target, a stark contrast to their attacking potential.
Appiah’s ability to read the game and exploit Ghana’s defensive weaknesses through swift counter-attacks paid off, with Sudan scoring twice in three minutes to seal victory.
2. Defensive fragility exposed again
Ghana’s defensive vulnerabilities have been a recurring issue since Otto Addo took charge in March 2024.
Despite having some of the best individual defenders, the Black Stars continue to look shaky as a collective unit.
In eight matches under Addo, they have managed just one clean sheet, with various combinations tried in defence but none providing the required solidity.
Against Sudan, defensive errors once again proved costly.
Alidu Seidu and Gideon Mensah’s mix-up allowed Mahmoud to score, while Mohamed Salisu was overpowered by Abdelrahman, who calmly finished past Lawrence Ati-Zigi.
3. Lack of creativity and genuine goal threat
A significant flaw in Otto Addo’s system is the lack of creativity in his attack.
His pragmatic approach often favours defensive solidity, opting for a double pivot that focuses more on stability than innovation.
This has led to a blunt attacking force as the team struggles to create chances from the centre of the pitch.
Against Sudan, Ghana dominated possession but failed to turn that control into opportunities, managing just one shot on target compared to Sudan’s five.
Without a dynamic ball carrier or creative spark, the Black Stars look predictable when their wingers are shut down, as seen in Libya.
4. Midfield balance needs rethinking
Otto Addo’s midfield structure has become a point of concern.
His preference for a double pivot restricts forward movement, making it difficult for the team to transition from defence to attack fluidly.
Without a true playmaker to link the defence and attack, Ghana's midfield often feels disconnected, resulting in slow build-up play.
To address this, Addo needs to rethink his approach, potentially introducing a more adventurous midfielder who can drive the team forward and create chances for the forwards.
How Ghana can still qualify for AFCON 2025?
Earlier, YEN.com.gh outlined the conditions Ghana must fulfill to maintain their hopes of securing an 11th consecutive AFCON appearance.
To keep their chances alive, the West African giants must secure victories in both of their remaining games: an away fixture against Angola and a final clash against Niger.

The dominant performance at Dambulla was Sri Lanka's sixth-largest T20 win against any team, surpassing their previous best over West Indies — a 57-run triumph in London in 2009
A Sri Lankan fan takes selfies with Sri Lanka's Dunith Wellalage (2nd R) and Matheesha Pathirana (R) after Sri Lanka won by 73 runs during the second Twenty20 international cricket match between Sri Lanka and West Indies at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium in Dambulla on Tuesday. — AFP
Sri Lanka stormed back to level the three-match T20 series with an emphatic 73-run win over the West Indies on Tuesday, marking their largest ever margin of victory against the Caribbean side.
The dominant performance at Dambulla was Sri Lanka's sixth-largest T20 win against any team, surpassing their previous best over West Indies — a 57-run triumph in London in 2009.
Sri Lanka, after setting a competitive target of 163, unleashed a relentless assault from their spinners, skittling the visitors for just 89 runs in 16.1 overs.
This score marked the West Indies' lowest total against Sri Lanka in T20 internationals, and their sixth lowest ever.
The spin-dominated attack claimed nine wickets, with only three overs of pace bowled, capitalising on a worn pitch that deteriorated quickly, leaving West Indies with no foothold in the chase.
Sri Lanka's spin magic struck early, removing both openers within the first four overs.
Evin Lewis and Brandon King, who had been the architects of West Indies' explosive start in the first match with a 107-run partnership, were neutralised by Sri Lanka's bowlers.
Debutant all-rounder Dunith Wellalage made an immediate impact, dismissing King with a sharp stumping in his first over, while almost sending Lewis packing on his first ball — though a missed review kept Lewis briefly in play.
Wellalage struck again, claiming Roston Chase at slip, as the West Indies stumbled to 17-3, and struggled to 21-3 by the end of the power play.
Wellalage's stunning debut saw him finish with figures of 3-9 in four overs.
Sri Lankan captain Charith Asalanka called it a "very pleasing win", and hailed Wellalage's performance as "sensational".
Maheesh Theekshana, Charith Asalanka and Wanindu Hasaranga supported Wellalage's efforts with two wickets each, cementing Sri Lanka's grip on the game.
Sri Lanka's total of 162 was built on the solid foundation set by openers Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka, who combined for a 72-run stand.
Nissanka top-scored with 54 off 49 balls, peppering the boundary with nine fours and a six.
"It was a tough wicket to bat on," Nissanka said. "I took some calculated risks — we had a target of 160 and were glad we got there."
Contributions from Kusal Perera (24) and Kamindu Mendis (19) helped push the total past 160, setting up a challenging chase for the West Indies.
On the visitors' side, spinners Chase and Gudakesh Motie were economical, giving away only 37 runs in their combined eight overs, raising questions about the West Indies' decision not to include an additional spinner.
The stage is now set for a thrilling series decider on Thursday, also at Dambulla, with eighth-ranked Sri Lanka eyeing an upset series victory over the third-ranked West Indies.
West Indies skipper Rovman Powell credited Sri Lanka for using "the conditions well" and acknowledged that his men "didn't bat well".
But he said the team would look ahead to the series decider.
"We will look back at things and reassess things and bounce back", he said.
The West Indies won the first match after a commanding five-wicket victory on Sunday. The T20 series will be followed by a three-match ODI series. | https://www.khaleejtimes.com/ml/sports/sri-lanka-level-t20-series-with-record-breaking-west-indies-win | 2024-10-15T18:12:30Z |

Paul George is already on injury watch as the Philadelphia 76ers wrap up their preseason. The veteran star hyperextended his left knee in a preseason win over the Atlanta Hawks. Although he offered a promising self-assessment after the game, the Sixers have to observe him and make sure his condition doesn’t worsen.
George played 12 minutes in the Sixers' 104-89 win over the Hawks on Monday, scoring eight points, before getting bumped by Jalen Johnson and buckling his knee. He was able to leave the court without any assistance but it was not how a knee should bend.
After the 76ers' practice on Tuesday, Nick Nurse said that George is “okay for now” and that he will get further imaging done on his knee. Nurse also said that everything with PG has “checked out okay” so far and that he and other veterans did not participate in practice. George (and other veterans) will not play in the Sixers' next preseason game on Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets, though that was decided prior to his injury scare.
Paul George working through knee injury ahead of regular season
Joel Embiid has already been ruled out for the remainder of the preseason and the 76ers could make a similar decision with George even if the results of his next examination are good. Embiid never played in any of the four games so far while George at least got to play 26 minutes in one of Philly's prior preseason matches, a loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. He shot the ball beautifully, racking up 23 points on 8-15 shooting from the field.
Nurse and George both lamented the lost chances to familiarize the veteran star with his new team on the court. Although he and Embiid were never slated to play together until the regular season, there are a variety of new teammates to get acquainted with, namely co-star Tyrese Maxey. Nurse said that further imaging must be done on George's knee before a firm timetable is set for his return.
The 76ers' first game of the regular season is Wednesday, October 23 against the Milwaukee Bucks. They’ll play their final two preseason games on Wednesday (at home against the Nets) and Friday (on the road against the Orlando Magic). | https://clutchpoints.com/76ers-news-paul-george-okay-for-now-after-worrisome-knee-injury-per-nick-nurse | 2024-10-15T18:12:38Z |

Colorado Elected District Attorney Disbarred for Litigation Misconduct
From People v. Stanley, decided Sept. 10 by the Office of Presiding Disciplinary Judge of the Supreme Court of Colorado but just posted to Westlaw; the opinion is by Presiding Disciplinary Judge Bryon M. Large, joined in part by Member Sherry A. Caloia (a lawyer) and in part by Member Melinda M. Harper (a citizen member):
Following the highly publicized disappearance of a Chaffee County woman [Suzanne Morphew], Stanley, who was the newly elected District Attorney of Colorado's 11th Judicial District, brought first-degree murder charges against the woman's spouse [Barry Morphew]. During the prosecution, Stanley made three improper extrajudicial statements about the case to the media, which threatened to prejudice the defendant and undermine the public's interest in justice. Those statements contributed in part to a judicial ruling changing venue in the case. Through this misconduct, Stanley violated Colo. RPC 3.6(a) (a lawyer who participates in the investigation or litigation of a matter must not make an extrajudicial statement that the lawyer knows or reasonably should know will be disseminated by means of public communication and will have a substantial likelihood of materially prejudicing an adjudicative proceeding) and Colo. RPC 3.8(f) (prosecutors must refrain from making extrajudicial comments that have a substantial likelihood of heightening public condemnation of the accused unless the comments serve a legitimate law enforcement purpose, are necessary to inform the public of the nature and extent of the prosecutor's action, or are permitted under Colo. RPC 3.6(b)).
At the same time, Stanley did not adequately supervise the prosecution of the case. She failed to timely direct adequate administrative resources to process discovery, leading to a series of judicially imposed sanctions against the prosecution for discovery violations. She failed to take reasonable measures to establish a leadership structure that ensured accountability within the prosecution team, with the result that the prosecution team overlooked important projects in the case. And she failed to intervene when the prosecution team was given an opportunity to cure its deficient endorsements for expert witnesses, the majority of whom were eventually excluded. Through this conduct, Stanley violated Colo. RPC 5.1(b) (a lawyer with direct supervisory authority over another lawyer must make reasonable efforts to ensure that the other lawyer conforms to the Rules of Professional Conduct).
After the presiding judge [Ramsey Lama] issued several adverse rulings less than two months before jury selection, Stanley instructed her chief investigator to interview the judge's former spouse to determine whether the judge committed domestic abuse. Even though she had no credible evidence to believe that the judge had ever engaged in such criminal conduct, Stanley ordered the investigation in an effort to uncover information about the judge that would require him to recuse from the case. Shortly after the interview, which revealed that the judge had never abused his former spouse, Stanley dismissed the case without prejudice. Though this conduct, Stanley attempted to violate Colo. RPC 8.4(d) (it is professional misconduct for a lawyer to engage in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice), thereby contravening Colo. RPC 8.4(a) (it is professional misconduct for a lawyer to attempt to violate the Rules of Professional Conduct).
In a bid to rehabilitate her relationship with the media, Stanley later agreed to sit for a videotaped interview with a local reporter. During that interview, which Stanley reasonably should have known was on the record and would be publicly disseminated, she again made improper extrajudicial statements about two defendants criminally charged in the death of a ten-month-old baby.
She effectively pronounced that one of the defendants was guilty, revealed inadmissible details about the defendant's sexually based juvenile offenses, and impugned the motives and character of the defendants. Two judicial officers, ruling independently, concluded that Stanley's extrajudicial statements amounted to outrageous government conduct so severely prejudicing the defendants that the judiciary was required to dismiss each defendant's criminal case. Through this conduct, Stanley violated Colo. RPC 3.6(a) and Colo. RPC 3.8(f)….
In their opening statement, the People likened Respondent's handling of the Morphew prosecution to that of a ship's captain who never appeared on the bridge. In some ways, this analogy is apt. Respondent's absence at the helm during key phases of the prosecution—even when she was warned that it faced rough waters—led to a series of events that ended with the first-degree murder case running aground.
The analogy captures Respondent's dereliction of her duty as an elected official and the top prosecutor in her district. In that role, her obligation was not to win or to protect her reputation but to see justice done. Instead, her unjustifiable extrajudicial statements in the Jacobs and Crawford cases led to the opposite result, prejudicing each criminal defendant and torpedoing the criminal cases against them. And her baseless decision to launch an in-house investigation of a judge presiding over a case that was close to trial prejudiced the administration of justice and abused her position of trust. She must be disbarred.
This is just the introduction and the conclusion; the full opinion goes into much more detail. Member Caloia dissented in part:
I would be remiss if I did not set forth the particularities of practicing criminal law in a small rural jurisdiction and the accepted practices of criminal lawyers and district attorneys. The problems that exist with respect to providing discovery to defendants in a criminal case in Colorado are many and widespread. The practice of responding to motions and filing expert witness reports varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and judge to judge. I am concerned that the Morphew case has undergone an extensive amount of Monday-morning quarterbacking. Practices common to a civil arena are not always common to a criminal case. There are various accepted practices and discovery issues that are particular to criminal law that need to be considered….
I also dissent as to the majority's finding as to [the interview of Judge Lama's wife]…. Here, the majority concludes the People have not proved that Respondent's decision to interview Iris Lama either prejudiced or attempted to prejudice the administration of justice. Respondent's decision to seek an interview with Iris Lama had some grounding—most specifically, Judge Lama's decision to exclude evidence of domestic violence in the Morphew case. That, coupled with Iris Lama's position with the Alliance Against Domestic Abuse and her public advocacy for missing people, including Suzanne Morphew, was sufficient to justify exercise of Respondent's sweeping discretion to look into the change.org petition's allegations.
I am even more influenced by the manner in which Respondent chose to inquire into potential judicial bias. Though best practices would dictate that an outside agency conduct the interview, Respondent did solicit help from the Chaffee County Sheriff and the CBI; both agencies declined to participate. After settling on Corey to interview Iris Lama, Respondent took reasonable steps to ensure that the interview was both voluntary and entirely confidential. Corey met on Iris Lama's terms, wore civilian clothes, and conducted the interview in a conversational, low-pressure way. The prosecution took no further investigative action. As I see it, the interview was something short of a criminal investigation and did not clearly evince an attempt to prejudice the administration of justice. Further, because Respondent did not make public the allegations or the fact of the interview, I assess the risk as rather low that the interview took on the appearance of harassment, intimidation, or retaliation. Ultimately, the case was dismissed shortly after the interview, so no prejudice to the justice system accrued.
I conclude that Respondent's decision to interview Iris Lama was within the bounds of Respondent's prosecutorial discretion. In making this determination, I am particularly mindful that an opposite conclusion could send the message that prosecutors are prohibited from merely asking citizens questions about intimations of wrongdoing. Had Respondent gone further—if, for example, she had made Judge Lama aware of the interview, approached him for an interview, taken other additional actions, or more conspicuously invoked the authority of her office—I would find differently. But under these specific circumstances, I cannot conclude the People have proved that Respondent prejudiced or attempted to prejudice the administration of justice….
Finally, I dissent as to the appropriate sanction in this case. I believe that Respondent should not be disbarred but instead should be suspended for a period of two and a half years, with the requirement that before she returns to the practice of law she must prove she can practice law in conformity with the Rules of Professional Conduct….
Member Harper dissented in part as to a different matter: She would have also found that DA Stanley had "failed to exercise reasonable diligence in prosecuting the Morphew case." Judge Large's opinion was thus a majority opining for the panel, though different members joined different parts.
The majority opinion also discusses DA Stanley's background; had her behavior in these cases been different, her personal might have been inspiring:
Respondent grew up in Davenport, Iowa. After receiving an associate's degree in criminal justice, she moved to Colorado in 1989 and worked as a truck driver. In 1993, she obtained a bachelor's degree at Metro State University in criminal justice. Later, she served as a police officer for several years, first in Arvada and then in Blackhawk. Before starting her family, Respondent returned to driving semis, which paid more and which she adjudged was less dangerous. She had two boys, who are now grown. Eventually, she attended the University of Denver master's degree program in public administration with an emphasis in domestic violence prevention, an issue personal to her, having been a victim of domestic violence. In autumn 2006 she enrolled at University of Denver law school in the part-time evening program, with the goal of working as a prosecutor. She graduated from law school in May 2010.
Respondent was admitted to practice law in Colorado in 2012. She has worked as prosecutor for most of her legal career in municipal, county, and district courts. In 2017, she briefly worked in private practice before accepting employment as a hearing officer for the Colorado Department of Revenue. She left that position in January 2020 to campaign for the position of district attorney …. She testified that she ran in part on a platform of prioritizing cold cases. She won the election ….

Media reported that Mbappe was the target of the investigation, following his two-day visit to Stockholm last week
Mbappe's entourage said it had no knowledge of a legal complaint made against him. — AFP file
A Swedish prosecutor said on Tuesday a rape investigation had been opened without mentioning Kylian Mbappe, following media reports that the Real Madrid and France star was the suspect following a visit to Stockholm.
Swedish newspapers Aftonbladet and Expressen and public broadcaster SVT on Tuesday reported that 25-year-old Mbappe was the target of the investigation, following his two-day visit to the Nordic capital last week.
"In response to media reports about a suspected rape in Stockholm, the prosecutor can confirm that a criminal report has been submitted to the police," Sweden's Prosecution Authority said in a statement.
It added that the alleged incident occurred at a hotel on October 10, but did not name a suspect and said no further information could be shared for the moment.
According to a filing with the Stockholm district court reviewed by AFP, the alleged incident occurred at the upscale Bank Hotel in central Stockholm.
Expressen on Monday identified Mbappe as the suspect, citing anonymous sources, while Aftonbladet and SVT said on Tuesday they had also obtained information confirming Mbappe was the suspect.
Expressen said Mbappe was "reasonably suspected" of rape and sexual assault, the lower of two degrees of suspicion in the Swedish legal system.
According to the Prosecution Authority, the higher degree of suspicion, "probable cause," is usually a prerequisite for a suspect to be remanded in custody prior to a formal charge.
Contacted by AFP on Monday, Mbappe's entourage said it had no knowledge of a legal complaint made against him.
The French international was not selected for his country's latest round of Nations League matches, and so visited the Swedish capital with a group of people last Thursday.
According to Aftonbladet, they dined at a restaurant before going to a nightclub. Mbappe and the group left Sweden on Friday.
Aftonbladet said the complaint was filed on Saturday after the alleged victim had sought medical attention.
Expressen reported on Tuesday that police had seized some clothing as evidence, saying it consisted of women's underwear, a pair of black trousers and a black top.
On Monday, Mbappe himself claimed in a post on X that there was a link between the Aftonbladet report and his hearing before a French league committee on Tuesday, in his bitter dispute with his former club Paris Saint-Germain over what he says are unpaid wages.
"Fake News !!!!. It's becoming so predictable, on the eve of the hearing, as if by chance," Mbappe posted.
A source close to Paris Saint-Germain told AFP on Monday it would "ignore" Mbappe's claim that there was a link between the report in Sweden and his dispute with the club.
Mbappe's entourage said in a statement given to AFP on Monday: "Today, a new slanderous rumour is starting to spread across the web from the Swedish media Aftonbladet.
"These accusations are completely false and irresponsible, and their propagation is unacceptable." The statement said "all necessary legal action will be taken to re-establish the truth".
Mbappe claims he is owed 55 million euros ($60 million) by the Qatari-owned French champions.
The French league (LFP) ordered PSG in September to pay Mbappe the 55 million euros in wages and bonuses he claimed he was owed at the time of his departure for Real Madrid at the end of last season.
The committee, which is notably made up of two members of the French national players' union, a magistrate and an independent president, can confirm or overturn the LFP's order.
Mbappe joined Madrid this summer after seven years at PSG and has up until now stayed clear of scandal in his private life.
The forward, who is known for carefully managing his image through a close network of family, lawyers and spokespeople, has become one of the world's highest paid players after a stellar career that began when he was barely into his teens.
He joined Pele as the only teenager to score in a World Cup final when France beat Croatia 4-2 to win the 2018 edition and was voted Best Young Player of the tournament.
Four years later in Qatar, he scored a hat-trick in the final against Argentina but finished on the losing side as Lionel Messi's side won in a penalty shootout. | https://www.khaleejtimes.com/ml/sports/swedish-prosecutor-confirms-rape-probe-without-naming-mbappe | 2024-10-15T18:12:39Z |
We're back once more with a betting prediction and pick for the upcoming Week 8 slate of College Football action. This next matchup takes us to the Big 12 Conference as the Arizona State Sun Devils (5-1) will take on the Cincinnati Bearcats (4-2) in a close game between surging teams. It is time to continue our college football odds series with an Arizona State-Cincinnati prediction and pick.
The Arizona State Sun Devils are 2-1 in the Big 12 following their most recent back-to-back wins over Kansas and No. 16 Utah. Their 27-19 victory marked a massive upset as the Utes were favored by six points ahead of the game. Now, they visit Cincinnati as the short betting favorites looking for another upset.
The Cincinnati Bearcats are also 2-1 in the Big 12 after conference wins over Houston and most recently UCF. They showed their grit last week with a late touchdown to seal the victory against UCF and they've got their heads held high as the betting favorites at home in this one.

Why Arizona State Could Cover The Spread/Win
Arizona State comes into this game following their biggest upset in recent memory over No. 16 Utah. During that game, Senior running back Cam Skattebo totaled 22 carries for 158 yards and two touchdowns while marching the Sun Devils down the field. Even more impressive was the ASU secondary, forcing three interceptions and flipping the field during crucial drives for Utah. Quarterback Sam Leavitt was fairly efficient, but it's clear this team can rely on their running game when looking for points.
The key factor in their recent wins has been their defense and coming up with big stops against efficient offenses. They play with a ton of energy and given their last upset, their confidence will be at an all-time high as underdogs in this one. Expect a gritty performance from the Sun Devils based on their staunch defense and relentless running game.
Why Cincinnati Could Cover The Spread/Win
The Cincinnati Bearcats are proving to be a scrappy team to start the season and they should give some good teams issues within the Big 12. Last week, their defense stifled the high-scoring attack of UCF and their offense supported them with enough points to get the job done. Sophomore QB Brendan Sorsby has been impressive with 13 passing touchdowns to just three interceptions while running back Corey Kiner has been performing well as of late, ripping a few long runs against UCF in their last game.
The Cincinnati Bearcats will be the favorites during this meeting due to their ability to turn the ball over with their defense. They also rank twenty-second in the nation with 291.1 passing yards per game, so expect this offense to air it out if they need to play from behind at any point. Still, this defense is stern enough not to fall into holes, so we doubt the Bearcats will be trailing for much of this game. Brendan Sorsby also leads the team with four rushing touchdowns, so expect him to be a big threat in using his legs around the goal line.
Final Arizona State-Cincinnati Prediction & Pick
We should have yet another close matchup as the Sun Devils travel to Cincinnati for this tilt. ASU is coming off a huge win against No. 16 Utah and they're looking to make some noise within the Big 12. The Bearcats, on the other hand, are firing on all cylinders from the defensive end and they'll be a tough test for ASU to find yards throughout this game.
Ultimately, both defenses are very capable of shifting the momentum in this game and we should see a low-scoring affair throughout. Neither offense is immune from turning the ball over, so this may tilt on whichever offense can limit their mistakes and end each of their dives with points. As far as offense is concerned, Arizona State certainly has the advantage and can open the scoring if they strike early.
For our final prediction, we're going to roll with the Arizona State Sun Devils to get the win as the underdogs. Cincinnati's defense should create issues for ASU early, but I expect the sustained rushing attack and ability to convert third downs through the air will be the difference. The Cincinnati crowd will be jumping, but Arizona State is 5-1 ATS this season and I like that trend to continue.

Journal of Free Speech Law: "The Future of Free Speech: Curiosity Culture," by Olivia Eve Gross
A new article from the Daedalus (Journal of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences) Future of Free Speech Symposium.
The article is here; the Introduction:
Before entering college in 2020, I thought cancel culture existed solely in the domain of celebrities, newsmakers, social media, consumer brands, and large corporations. I first became aware of the phenomenon in its original context: a TV show was canceled in response to a backlash after its star committed an abhorrent act. In another case, a product-endorsement contract was canceled ahead of public outcry over the spokesperson's reported behavior. As these scenarios grew more common, I assumed cancellations only took place in the realm of the famous.
At the start of my first year at the University of Chicago, I learned that cancel culture had infiltrated campus life. Students were being shunned for voicing an unpopular view in class, excoriated on social media over a pun, or shamed for asking a question because they were of the "wrong" identity for the subject matter. My campus wasn't unique—if anything, Chicago does more than almost any other university to advocate and defend principles of free speech.
This revelation was as bewildering as it was upsetting. The fundamental mission of a liberal-arts education is to promote diverse perspectives, thoughtful debate, intellectual growth, and, hopefully, classmate camaraderie in the shared experience of it all. And my university does a lot to support this objective. But students themselves are now stifling the university experience by using a variety of methods to either silence speech or ensure that certain speech receives social punishment. Such trends have detrimental consequences for the campus community at-large, eroding the university's formative environment of speech. In polling conducted by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, more than half of students (56 percent) expressed worry about damaging their reputation because of someone misunderstanding what they have said or done.

Duet co-culture system is a novel approach to studying the dynamics between different microbial populations, enabling more precise, reproducible and reliable results without the typical time and cost restraints.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Cerillo, a leader in cellular analytics, announces the release of Duet, the first standardized co-culture system that allows researchers to explore microbial and cellular interactions in real time. Designed to address challenges in microbial research, Duet offers a novel approach to studying the dynamics between different microbial populations, enabling more precise, reproducible, and reliable results in fields ranging from synthetic biology to antimicrobial resistance.
The Duet Co-culture system is poised to be a game-changer for research in areas such as synthetic biology, antimicrobial resistance, fermentation, microbiome studies, women's health and engineering complex microbial communities. By enabling fluidic interaction between distinct microbial populations while maintaining physical separation, Duet allows researchers to explore complex microbial communities and interactions—without the typical time and cost constraints.
"We developed Duet to address the need for a system that would allow researchers to systematically investigate microbial interactions," said Eric Mayton, CEO of Cerillo. "By providing real-time phenotypic measurements, Duet enables deeper insights into these interactions, which are crucial for understanding everything from antimicrobial resistance to community-based behaviors."
The Duet system has already demonstrated its impact in antimicrobial resistance research, an area where understanding mobile genetic elements and drivers of resistance can lead to critical breakthroughs. Alan J. Wolfe, Ph.D., Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at Loyola University in Chicago, highlighted how Duet has accelerated his lab's research. "Using Duet, my postdoc was able to achieve results in two weeks that would have taken two months with traditional methods," said Wolfe. "The system has allowed us to significantly improve the efficiency of our experiments, providing us with high-quality data in a fraction of the time."
For researchers studying phage therapy, where understanding the interactions between bacteria and bacteriophages is essential, Duet has opened new possibilities. Bryan Hsu, a researcher at Virginia Tech, emphasized how the system has made it possible to study bacterial growth curves and phage interactions more effectively. "Previously, examining phage-bacteria interactions in complex microbial communities required laborious and costly methods such as sequencing," said Hsu. "With Duet, we can now use straightforward absorbance measurements, significantly simplifying our workflow and allowing us to collect critical data much faster."
The Duet platform's flexibility extends beyond microbial interaction studies. David Liu, a researcher now at Queen's University Medical School, shared how the system has streamlined his crystallization experiments. "Duet has cut our experiment time in half and eliminated sterilization issues we faced with older systems," Liu explained. "Its high-throughput capabilities have also allowed us to explore the role of various bacterial genera in processes like struvite stone formation more comprehensively."
In synthetic biology, where constructing complex microbial communities is often a trial-and-error process, Duet provides clarity by allowing researchers to better understand how individual organisms interact. Steve Techtmann, Professor of Biological Sciences at Michigan Technological University, noted how the platform simplifies his work. "Duet allows us to rapidly screen for microbial interactions without the extensive downstream analyses that are typically required," said Techtmann. "We can now design more efficient experiments and accelerate the process of building synthetic communities for specific purposes."
Expanding the Boundaries of Microbial Research
By providing researchers with precise, real-time data on microbial interactions, Duet is reducing the complexity of experimental design and enabling more systematic approaches to studying microbial communities. This enhanced capability is opening new avenues for research in areas such as the microbiome, antimicrobial resistance, and synthetic biology, where understanding microbial dynamics is key to innovation.
The Duet Co-Culture System is now available. For further inquiries, contact [email protected] or visit Cerillo's website.
About Cerillo:
Cerillo is committed to advancing scientific discovery through the development of cutting-edge tools for cellular and microbial research. The company's mission is to make these tools more accessible to researchers across a wide range of disciplines, enabling new insights and accelerating the pace of discovery.

If Dede Ayew is reading this, he should be grateful to his maker for his football career. Otto Addo and the GFA not including him in recent games might be a blessing, protecting his family name. I'm sad about the game result but happy for the Ayews.
If he had played, the Ayew name could have faced severe criticism. Sometimes, God blesses us through our disappointments. There's no more patriotic player in the current Black Stars than Captain fantastic Andre Morgan Dede Ayew.

Buffalo Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins felt that he did his job in Week 6. In a Monday Night Football game that was dominated by penalties and overshadowed by a brawl in between the third and fourth quarters, Dawkins felt that he held New York Jets edge rusher Micheal Clemons in check.
After the game, Dawkins told reporters that the scuffle between the Bills' offensive line and the Jets' defensive line was a “little weird” and sparked by a New York trainer. Regardless, Dawkins felt that he threw Clemons off his game and did what head coach Sean McDermott wanted of him by being a “dog.”
“It was a little weird,” Dawkins said, via Jon Scott of WGRZ. “They talking, running their mouths. One of their trainers was walking by with water and I felt like he was trying to be funny, putting it in my face… I think I'm more in their heads than they are in mine.
“I went out there and did exactly what I planned on doing; getting [Micheal Clemons] out of his game. He had a chance to stop Josh [Allen], Josh ran right around him on the last play of the game… Coach wants dogs, so I'm gonna go out there and I'm gonna run my mouth and talk my stuff.”
In their head-to-head matchup, Dawkins did not allow a sack in the game and Clemons could not effectively get to Allen. Dawkins was responsible for one penalty, an unsportsmanlike conduct call on him that started the brawl.
Bills take control of first in AFC East with win
With their win over the Jets in Week 6, the Bills are now first in the AFC East with a 4-2 record. The win also ended a brief two-game skid that included losses to the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans.
Behind the Bills, the rest of the AFC East teams have not met the expectations given to them with no other group with a winning record. The Miami Dolphins are in second with a measly 2-3 record as they struggle without quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
The Jets are struggling just as much as the Dolphins with a 2-4 record and are not the team many predicted they would be with Aaron Rodgers under center. A recent trade for Davante Adams might help but the offense is not what anybody expected through six games.
The only team in the division with less than two wins is the New England Patriots who own a disastrous 1-5 record. Five games was all it took for head coach Jerod Mayo to give up on Jacoby Brissett at quarterback and turn to rookie Drake Maye in hopes of potentially turning the season around. | https://clutchpoints.com/bills-news-dion-dawkins-jets-micheal-clemons-blast | 2024-10-15T18:12:56Z |

The Canadian dollar is on track for a tenth day of declines today and the selling was helped out by CPI at 1.6% y/y compared to 1.8% expected.
The market was evenly split on the question of 25 bps vs 50 bps ahead of the data but the probabilities now sit at 73% for a larger cut in the overnight rate.
CIBC highlights a big reason why:
"Excluding mortgage interest costs, which are still picking up the effects of past interest rate hikes and which most countries exclude from their inflation targets, CPI would have been a mere 1.0% year-over-year in September."
They also note that clothing prices and goods in general are sources of deflation.
Headline inflation may perk up a bit in the months ahead due to higher gasoline prices so far in October, and may even rise back above 2% briefly in early 2025. However, core measures of inflation should continue to decelerate given evidence of slack in the economy, and we think that there's plenty of room for the Bank of Canada to cut interest rates and accelerate growth to prevent an undershoot of the 2% inflation target next year. We now forecast a 50bp cut at the October meeting, and continue to predict an overnight rate of 2.25% by mid-2025.
The next BOC decision is on October 23.

CHP secures $700K federal grant to boost motorcycle safety, awareness across state
By CHP Media Relations
SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The California Highway Patrol (CHP) is launching Get Educated and Ride Safe VII (GEARS VII), a yearlong program that focuses on education and enforcement strategies to reduce motorcycle-related crashes and fatalities. The CHP received a $700,000 federal grant to fund the program.
Provisional data from the federal fiscal year 2022-23 highlights the urgent need for such measures, with more than 7,000 motorcycle-involved crashes, resulting in 336 fatalities and more than 6,300 injuries within CHP jurisdiction.
“This grant will significantly enhance the CHP’s motorcycle safety and awareness programs by allowing us to continue educating both motorcyclists and drivers on safe practices,” said CHP Commissioner Sean Duryee. “It’s a vital reminder that whether you’re driving a car or riding a motorcycle, everyone shares the responsibility for keeping our roads safe.”
Throughout the grant period, CHP is ramping up motorcycle safety activities in regions with high crash rates and will participate in statewide and national traffic safety public awareness campaigns, including “National Motorcycle Ride Day” which was held on Saturday, October 12, 2024. These efforts will promote the use of U.S. Department of Transportation-compliant helmets and emphasize the importance of sharing the road with motorcyclists. Additionally, the CHP will increase enforcement in areas with motorcycle-involved crashes caused by speed, improper turns, and driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The mission of the CHP is to provide the highest level of Safety, Service, and Security.

Sexual Intercourse, Exhibiting Body In Front Of Minor Child Punishable Under Pocso Act: Kerala HC
Date
10/15/2024 10:45:14 AM
(MENAFN- IANS) Kochi, Oct 15 (IANS) The Kerala High Court has held that having sexual intercourse and exhibiting any part of the body with the intention that it would be seen by a child would amount to sexual harassment and be punishable under the Pocso Act.
"To be more explicit, when a person exhibits the naked body to a child, the same is an act intending to commit sexual harassment upon a child and therefore, the offence punishable under Section 11(i) read with 12 of the Pocso Act would attract. In this case, the allegation is that the accused persons engaged in sexual intercourse after being naked, even without locking the room and allowed the entry of the minor in the room, so that the minor could see the same. Thus, prima facie, the allegation as to commission of offence punishable under Section 11(i) read with 12 of the Pocso Act, as against the petitioner in this case is made out," the court ruled.
The petitioner, who is the second accused, had sexual intercourse with the mother of the child, the first accused.
The allegation is that the petitioner and the mother engaged in sexual intercourse at a lodge room after sending the minor boy to buy some articles. When the boy returned he saw the person and his mother engaging in sexual intercourse after getting naked as they did not lock the room. The man, seeing the minor, abused him by grabbing his neck, beating him on the cheek, and kicking him and was booked for various charges including Section 11 (sexual harassment) and 12 (punishment for sexual harassment) of the Pocso Act.
The court stated that the minor got into the room since the room was not locked which led the minor boy to see the sexual intercourse.
"Reading the statutory provision, a person is said to commit sexual harassment upon a child, when such person with sexual intent, utters any word or makes any sound, or makes any gesture or exhibits any object or part of body with the intention that such word or sound shall be heard, or such gesture or object or part of body shall be seen by the child. The same is an offence punishable under Section 12 of the Pocso Act," it said.
Accordingly, the High Court stated that the petitioner can be tried for offences punishable under Sections 323 read with Section 34 of IPC as well as under Section 11(i) read with 12 of the Pocso Act.

The Cleveland Browns are sticking with quarterback Deshaun Watson as their QB1, but NFL Insider Mike Sando of The Athletic has a plan on how Cleveland can avoid Watson altogether. The plan is extremely detailed and involves a plethora of hypotheticals. On the Scoop City podcast, Sando described what they could pull off if a potential team was interested.
“If you were a general manager of another team and I was general manager of the Browns,” Sando said. I would say, ‘Hey, you guys have a billionaire owner and he’s loaded, you guys don’t have a very good team and you guys have a lot of cap space.' Is there any way we could trade Deshaun to you, and you could cut Deshaun whatever you want to do?
Watson is one of the least team-friendly contracts in the entire NFL. He's set to make $92 million guaranteed for the next two seasons. The contract wouldn't be so gruesome if the Browns were having a successful year. However, it's been anything but that. Cleveland has a 1-5 record with Watson as the QB1 and the offense is in a funk. Despite running back Nick Chubb being out, Watson still has the talent to win games.
Deshaun Watson's contract is an eyesore for the Browns', and other teams
The nearly $100 million that Watson is guaranteed is concerning. It would be one thing if he performed like he did with the Houston Texans. However, it's been the inverse since returning from his injury. So far this season, Watson has thrown for 1,020 yards, five touchdowns, and three interceptions. He hasn't had a game over 200 passing yards.
Also, their offense has been porous, to say the least. They're 30th in the league for points per game (15.8). Also, they haven't scored over 20 points in a game this season. Sando detailed his plan involving draft picks and what the Cleveland front office would think.
“We’ll give you X amount of picks,” Sando said. “We’ll give you two 2nd round picks and you give us back a player that you don’t want on your team. And what that will do is it will severely reduce the cap hit that Cleveland faces. By doing the trade that cap burden and cash burden some of that would go over to the other team.”
Unless Watson flips the switch soon, he could be headed for the trade block. Despite his contract, some teams like the Tennessee Titans, and Las Vegas Raiders could be willing to make the trade to establish consistent play at the position. | https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-nfl-insider-reveals-way-out-of-deshaun-watson | 2024-10-15T18:13:02Z |

Charles Schwab’s SCHW third-quarter 2024 adjusted earnings of 77 cents per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The bottom line, however, remained stable year over year.
Stay up-to-date with all quarterly releases: See Zacks Earnings Calendar.
Shares of the company rose 9.3% in pre-market trading on better-than-expected results.
Results benefited from the solid performance of the asset management business, which drove revenues. The absence of fee waivers and solid brokerage account numbers acted as tailwinds during the quarter. However, higher funding costs posed a major headwind. The company also recorded a rise in adjusted expenses.
Results excluded acquisition and integration-related costs, amortization of acquired intangibles, and restructuring costs. After considering these, net income (GAAP basis) was $1.41 billion or 71 cents per share, up from $1.13 billion or 56 cents per share in the year-ago quarter. We had projected net income (GAAP) of $1.57 billion.
Revenues Up, GAAP Expenses Fall
Quarterly net revenues were $4.85 billion, which rose 5.2% year over year. The increase was mainly due to a 20.6% jump in asset management and administration fees. This was partly offset by a marginal fall in net interest revenues and a 25.9% decline in Bank deposit account fees. The top line surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate.
Total non-interest expenses (GAAP basis) decreased 6.8% to $3.01 billion. We had projected this metric to be $2.99 billion. Excluding non-recurring items, adjusted total expenses were $2.85 billion, up 5.5%.
The pre-tax profit margin increased to 38% from 30% in the prior-year quarter.
At the end of the third quarter, Charles Schwab’s average interest-earning assets decreased 7.6% to $419.2 billion.
As of Sept. 30, 2024, the annualized return on equity was 14%, stable with the prior-year quarter.
Other Business Metrics
As of Sept. 30, 2024, Schwab had total client assets of $9.92 trillion (up 26.8% year over year). During the reported quarter, net new assets — brought by new and existing clients — were $90.8 billion.
Schwab added almost 1 million new brokerage accounts during the quarter. As of Sept. 30, 2024, the company had 36 million active brokerage accounts, 1.95 million banking accounts and 5.4 million corporate retirement plan participants.
Our Take
Charles Schwab’s inorganic expansion efforts continue to strengthen its position as a leading brokerage player. Higher interest rates support top-line growth but increasing deposit costs are likely to weigh on it. Rising expenses and expectations of an economic slowdown are major headwinds.

The DP World Tour is at Sotogrande, Spain for the penultimate event, the ‘Back 9’, before next week’s Genesis Championship in Korea
UAE resident Garrick Porteous (Eng) competing this week on the Challenge Tour in China - a big week for all. - Supplied photo
Our focus this week is on the Challenge Tour – and the $500,000 Hangzou Open in China – the penultimate event of the season, before the season ending Rolex Challenge Tour Grand Final supported by The R&A in Mallorca at the end of the month.
Dubai residents, Garrick Porteous (Eng) and Joshua Grenville-Wood (UAE) are in 52nd and 64th respectively in the Road to Mallorca Rankings and both need good weeks – if not exceptional weeks to get in the top 45 to play in Spain.
Porteous, 34 years-old is a winner this year – taking top prize and €45,148.70 as well as 320 Ranking points in the Abu Dhabi Challenge at Al Ain Equestrian, Shooting and Golf Club back in April.
The top 20 players in the CT Rankings after Spain will earn their 2025 DP World Tour Cards – all part of the pyramid eco-system of professional golf around the world.
The DP World Tour is at Sotogrande. Defending champion and Dubai resident Adrian Meronk (Pol) is not in the field but is committed to play in the DP World Tour Play-offs at both the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship at Yas Links and DP World Tour Championship at Jumeirah Golf Estates on the Earth course next month.
The field in Spain includes: Jon Rahm (Spain), the Hojgaard twins (Den), Victor Perez (Fr), David Puig (Spain) and Eugenio Chacarra (Spain) as well as last week’s FedEx Open de France champion, Dan Bradbury (Eng) and a host of DP World Tour stars.
The importance of the Rolex Series events on the DP World Tour’s Race to Dubai is well illustrated by the fact that Meronk last played in a DP World Tour event at the HERO Dubai Desert Classic and is still 34th in the Rankings – without significantly performing that well in all four Majors. These big events attract the best players and are really Ranking movers, as well as Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) movers - anchoring the DP World Tour Rankings.
This week’s event in Spain is the penultimate event on DP World Tour’s ‘Back 9’ before next week’s Genesis Championship in Korea and then to the DP World Tour Play-Offs.
An exciting climax to the season is ahead of us – with it happening here in the UAE.

The big turn in tech shares today was largely due to a disappointing guide from Dutch fab-builder ASML. The company accidentally posted results early due to a technical glitch and shares have fallen 17%.
ASML said it expects net sales for 2025 to come in between 30 billion euros and 35 billion euros, that's at the lower half of the range it had previously provided. The company has been hobbled by US sanctions that prevent it from selling its top equipment to China. It's share of sales to China is forecast to fall to 20% from 49%.
“While there continue to be strong developments and upside potential in AI, other market segments are taking longer to recover. It now appears the recovery is more gradual than previously expected,” company CEO Christophe Fouquet said in the earnings release.
The important caveat here is that he doesn't hint at slower AI demand.

One of the biggest driver market news stories of this year’s silly season has been Carlos Sainz’s move to Williams. After a long time, a multiple-time Grand Prix winner will drive for the Grove-based outfit again. Since Williams have pulled off such a huge move, team principal James Vowles has been receiving all the credit.
Now, the Briton has revealed on the Nailing the Apex podcast that he did not speak to anyone other than the Spaniard to fill the second seat at Williams, and had the 30-year-old rejected his side, he did not have any backup option. When asked about how he decided that Sainz was the right fit for Williams, Vowles began his reply by stating,
“I was only speaking to Carlos and his family back then — no one else. And pretty much the whole process that was the only individual I was talking to as well”.
James Vowles about convincing Carlos:
“It was shockingly close to dating. It started with messages and it ended with my going to his hotel room.”#CarlosSainzpic.twitter.com/HCGLSKP4Bx
— Carlos Sainz News (@CSainzNews_) August 26, 2024
The Briton then further explained that he knew Sainz was the right fit for him as the Spaniard is a very fast driver and showcased his capabilities in Singapore last year.
That was a race when Sainz utilized a clever strategy by backing up the whole pack, ensuring that a DRS train was formed, to maintain his lead till the chequered flag as he knew he did not have the fastest car.
This kept the charging Mercedes duo — who were on faster medium tires — at bay, with Sainz using Lando Norris’ McLaren as cover in P2 and purposely giving him DRS to maintain his position. Vowles has seen many such clever moves from the Spaniard on the track and he hopes that Sainz keeps up with this track record at Williams.
Vowles: “He’s held his own” against very strong teammates
During the same podcast, Vowles also revealed how Sainz has managed to soak up the pressure despite having some of the best teammates in the sport. The Williams boss highlighted that Sainz had Max Verstappen as his teammate at Toro Rosso, Lando Norris at McLaren, and now Charles Leclerc at Ferrari.
Despite having such top drivers as teammates, Vowles stated, “Every time against them, he’s held his own for the most part”. Furthermore, the 45-year-old also believes that Sainz has the capability to lead a team as every team that the Spaniard has been with, has moved ahead in F1.
Since such a top driver like Sainz will join Williams in 2025, the prospects of the Grove-based outfit undoubtedly seem bright. The team is even performing at a very high level this year ever since Franco Colapinto replaced the underfiring Logan Sargeant. | https://thesportsrush.com/f1-news-i-was-only-speaking-to-carlos-james-vowles-admits-he-had-no-back-up-if-sainz-rejected-williams-offer/ | 2024-10-15T18:13:09Z |
Germany halts arms shipments to Israel amid civilian use concerns
Shafaq News/ US newspaper Politico reported, on Tuesday, that senior officials in Germany have refused to approve arms shipments to Israel, despite Berlin's announcement that it had not imposed a ban on arms exports to its ally.
According to unnamed sources, "Germany has demanded assurances from Israel that weapons imported from Berlin will not be used against civilians amid the ongoing conflict in Lebanon and Gaza."
This development follows reports that German officials denied approval for arms shipments until Israel guarantees that the weapons will not be used against civilians. Politico cited a source stating that "Germany could halt arms exports if it does not comply with international humanitarian law."
In September, Reuters reported that Germany had suspended licenses for any new arms exports to Israel. Last year, Germany approved arms exports to Israel worth €326.5 million (approximately $363.5 million), which included military equipment and weapons for warfare, marking a tenfold increase compared to 2022, according to data from the Ministry of Economy that oversees export licenses.
However, approvals for exports have declined this year. Data provided by the Ministry of Economy in response to parliamentary inquiries indicated that the value of German arms received by Israel did not exceed €14.5 million from January to August 21.
Of this amount, only €32,449 was classified as "war weapons."
A source close to the ministry reported that a senior government official stated that the approval process for arms export licenses to Israel has been halted pending resolution of legal issues claiming that such exports from Germany "violate humanitarian law."
The ministry did not respond to requests for comment.
The source added that the government has stated it has not issued any war weapons under any license since the attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023, except for spare parts related to long-term contracts, while defending its position in two cases—one before the International Court of Justice and another in Berlin brought by the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights.
Thus far, no legal challenge to German arms exports to Israel has been accepted, including one filed by Nicaragua at the International Court of Justice. | https://www.shafaq.com/en/World/Germany-halts-arms-shipments-to-Israel-amid-civilian-use-concerns | 2024-10-15T18:13:10Z |
Contego Medical's Neuroguard IEP® System is a unique 3-in-1 carotid stenting system that combines a high-performance stent, an integrated dilation balloon, and integrated filter. The system streamlines the carotid stent procedure by reducing the number of steps and makes it safer by capturing emboli that traditional embolic protection systems do not.
RALEIGH, N.C., Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Contego Medical, a leader in developing innovative medical devices for cardiovascular procedures, announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) premarket approval (PMA) of the Neuroguard IEP® System, a unique 3-in-1 carotid stenting system that combines a high-performance stent, an integrated dilation balloon, and integrated filter. The system streamlines the carotid stent procedure by reducing the number of steps and makes it safer by capturing emboli that traditional embolic protection systems do not.
Clinical studies of the Neuroguard IEP System, including the PERFORMANCE I Trial and PERFORMANCE II IDE Trial, have consistently recorded unprecedented low event rates – zero major strokes, zero neurologic deaths, and zero stent thrombosis at 30 days and 1 year.
Dr. William Gray, System Chief of the Division of Cardiovascular Diseases at Main Line Health and Co-National Principal Investigator of the PERFORMANCE II trial, said, "FDA approval confirms the results of the clinical studies. The innovative Neuroguard IEP system performs exceptionally well with the lowest one-year stroke rates ever shown for any type of carotid revascularization, thereby establishing a new standard of care for meaningfully reducing the risk of procedural and long-term stroke among patients with carotid artery disease."
The Neuroguard IEP System utilizes Contego Medical's clinically-proven Integrated Embolic ProtectionTM (IEP) technology, featuring a 40-micron filter integrated on a 6 French delivery catheter. The size of the integrated filter can be adjusted by the operator to custom fit each patient's unique anatomy, and the pores on the filter are 3-4x smaller than those on traditional filters, improving protection against stroke and cognitive impairment. The newest generation closed cell stent is highly conformable and shows remarkable short and long-term durability, with no thromboses, no clinically driven target lesion revascularization, and very low restenosis rates at one year.
"This FDA approval is a huge step forward for Contego and for patient care. The Neuroguard IEP System transforms how we approach patients with carotid artery disease by addressing the specific threats of microembolization while simultaneously reducing procedural steps, ensuring patients receive the highest level of protection throughout the procedure," said Dr. Ravish Sachar, Contego Medical's CEO and Founder. "The ongoing PERFORMANCE III trial is evaluating the Neuroguard IEP system with a next-generation direct transcarotid access and protection system, TCAR-IEP, to demonstrate advanced stroke protection regardless of vascular approach."
In 2023, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a national coverage decision significantly expanding coverage for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) of the carotid artery concurrent with stenting performed with FDA-approved carotid stents and embolic protection devices. This decision and FDA approval of the Neuroguard IEP System positions Contego for ongoing growth.

Many believe that the downfall of Daniel Ricciardo’s F1 career started with his decision to leave Red Bull. However, F1 pundit Edd Straw believes that even if he had stayed with the Milton Keynes squad, his career wouldn’t have turned out dramatically different from where it eventually ended.
Ricciardo announced mid-season in 2018 that he would be leaving Red Bull to join forces with Renault starting in 2019. His motivation to leave the Austrian team came from his belief that Red Bull had gradually started to favor Max Verstappen more and more and that they had decided if anyone was going to become a champion at Red Bull, it was the Dutchman.
In a recent episode of the ‘The Race’ podcast, Edd Straw answered questions from the fans regarding the Honey Badger’s career had he stayed at Red Bull. “Well, there’s kind of some short-term detail changes had he not left Red Bull… There would have been some more wins certainly more wins than he’s got.”, Straw said.
“But I don’t think he’d have been a world champion suddenly, although he could have been quite a valuable ally in the 2021 championship fight.”, he wondered.
There have been several speculations around the notion that Ricciardo should’ve stayed at Red Bull in 2018. But as Straw suggested, it seems difficult that the Aussie would’ve made peace with the issues he felt at Milton Keynes around Verstappen being the team’s favorite.
While it was a full-circle moment for him to want to return to the same Red Bull team, Ricciardo could not fulfill that fairytale ending he wished for.
In any case, Ricciardo still deserved to at least finish his last season in F1 and many fans believe that he has been mistreated by Red Bull. And he could have finished the season if it was not for one man.
Helmut Marko wanted to get rid of Ricciardo even sooner
Christian Horner recently commented that he had been holding back Marko from dropping Daniel Ricciardo even earlier in the season. One fan asked the panel if that was the right call to drop him mid-season.
Scott Mitchell-Malm explained that this has always been a problem with the Red Bull management that they haven’t always been very clear about which drivers to back (except for Verstappen maybe). However, he also pointed out that perhaps Marko had never been able to get over the fact that Ricciardo walked from Red Bull of his own accord.

“It kind of shows very clearly what we’ve known all along and been saying all along. Ricciardo was Horner’s man Marko not so much a fan. I don’t think Marko ever really let go of Ricciardo walking away from Red Bull in the manner that he did a few years back,” Mitchell-Malm said.
He also said that he got to know from one of the Aussie’s confidantes that they knew since April that he would be sacked and wouldn’t have stayed till Singapore if not for Horner. | https://thesportsrush.com/f1-news-staying-at-red-bull-in-2018-wouldnt-have-drastically-changed-daniel-ricciardos-career-path/ | 2024-10-15T18:13:13Z |

Raj and DK are back, and this time it’s with Citadel: Honey Bunny, where our very own desi spies are about to take center stage. The much-awaited web series trailer just dropped, and if you love action, drama, and a bit of sass, you’re in for a treat.
The trailer introduces us to Bunny (Varun Dhawan), a stuntman, and Honey (Samantha), a struggling actress. And surprise, surprise, they’ve got some serious history. Fast forward to their reunion, and this time they’re not just fighting bad guys—they’re protecting their daughter, Nadia. Yep, you read that right. Nadia! In a fun twist, fans were quick to notice the name connection with Priyanka Chopra’s character from the UK version of Citadel. Coincidence? We think not!
The trailer is packed with action from the get-go—bullets flying, cars flipping, and Bunny-Honey dishing out some serious punches. But it’s not all intensity; true to Raj and DK style, the film comes with its share of witty punchlines. The best part? Little Nadia steals the show with her sassy closing line: “Everyone is dying or getting killed. I’m still a kid, you know.” We already love her.
At the teaser launch event, Varun Dhawan couldn’t stop praising Samantha’s dedication to the role. He shared how his prep felt like a breeze compared to what Samantha went through. ICYMI, Samantha revealed in 2022 that she was diagnosed with myositis, an autoimmune condition. Yet, she didn’t let that stop her from delivering some kickass action scenes. Talk about dedication! “Her work ethic really inspired me,” Varun said, making all of us love Sam a little bit more.
In case you missed it, Citadel is a global spy series with editions in India, Italy, and Mexico, and yes, the whole thing is being backed by the Russo Brothers. While Priyanka and Richard Madden headline the global version, Raj and DK are leading the Indian chapter, bringing back their golden touch from Family Man 2.

Since the 2006 Draft, the NBA has disallowed players from entering the League immediately after completing high school. During a sit-down with Chris Tucker for Interview Magazine, Anthony Edwards opened up about this topic. He claimed that he wanted to join the League straight after finishing high school.

Edwards was ready to get out there and make a name for himself in the NBA. But when asked if he regrets going to college, the Timberwolves star said,
“No, I don’t regret it. I was a class clown too and school was hard for me. I was the same as you. I was ready to get out there. I wish I could have went [to the NBA] out of high school, honestly.”
The reason behind his strong desire to avoid college was his difficulty in school. Despite being a class clown and making people laugh, the two-time All-Star found it hard. He followed a grueling schedule in school to balance basketball and academics. The death of his mother when he was 14 years old added to the pressure. After overcoming all of these obstacles, he felt that he was ready for the NBA after graduating from school. But with rules preventing him, the star prospect joined Georgia.
As a five-star recruit, Edwards was expected to dominate his lone season with the Georgia Bulldogs. He lived up to those expectations and put up an impressive 19.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.3 steals per game. But he shot just 40.2% from the field, as he was left to do all the heavy lifting on offense.
The Bulldogs had a so-so 16-16 record before the 2019-20 NCAA season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. ANT was named the SEC Rookie of the Year and also made it to the Second-team All-SEC as a freshman. Despite his desire to play NBA basketball as soon as possible, Edwards does not regret his college stint.
Anthony Edwards doesn’t regret going to college
While Edwards wanted to enter the NBA immediately after high school, he does not regret joining the Bulldogs for a year. His college experience proved invaluable while preparing him for a grueling road in the NBA. Furthermore, college competition helped refine his game and provided a higher level of competition.
Little doubt remained that Edwards set himself up for an incredible future when he declared for the Draft on March 20th, 2020. He was selected first overall in the Draft by the Timberwolves and has not looked back since.
He has provided the team with the missing leadership it needs, helping the Timberwolves make progress in the postseason. Do you think Edwards would have become the star he is today if he’d skipped High School? | https://thesportsrush.com/nba-news-anthony-edwards-wishes-he-skipped-college-and-entered-the-nba-out-of-high-school/ | 2024-10-15T18:13:14Z |

“I think that the most important member of the cabinet of a mega city is a town planner because it is his responsibility to envision how the state, the environment, will be done.
“The town planner has not taken the driver’s seat, and I think that, compared to other professionals, the town planner has been somewhat diffident.
“If the town planner steps forward and begins to take us on that journey of visioning, on that journey to prosperity, some of the problems we agonise about today will be solved much quicker, because we will understand what needs to be done.
“We have almost everything – the land resource, the oceans, the creeks, the landforms. Everything is here but the real question is: how have we used those resources? And that is the remit of the town planner,” he said.
The former governor also said that town planners should be involved in determining the optimal allocation of resources for infrastructure.
He said, “I envision the role of town planner as one who decides how these nature’s assets are used for the optimal benefit and the common prosperity of the environment.”
Town planners should be, in my view, leaders in determining what parts of the land provide roads, schools, markets, places of worship, health facilities, recreation facilities, waste, and water treatment, before deciding what is left for building dwelling houses.
“If this is done, I think that we would avoid the current situation where people first take land for dwelling, then, there is no land to build the roads to get to their houses.”
In his remarks, Lagos State Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu thanked Fashola for the insight.
He said, “Thank you very much Governor Fashola for reminding us again, and for explaining it clearly what a mega city is and how it has given me millions and millions of problems, because, when you have millions and millions of citizens, it also develops challenges.”
He said that there was need to ensure that town planners would take their rightful place in mega city construction.
“We, as leaders, can create that opportunity for them, but they themselves – town planners – must rise up, stand up, be counted to fully be able to take their rightful place because, indeed, the cities are owned by them.
“It is only when they make those commitments and they take those first steps that all of us can follow,” he said.
Earlier, the state Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr Oluyinka Olumide, said that the summit provided a unique opportunity for stakeholders to collaborate and chart a path for the future of physical planning in Lagos.
“We will explore strategies to address pressing issues of implementation, investment, sustainability and physical planning service delivery.
“The paradox of Lagos’s success is that our great city, the commercial nerve centre of Nigeria, the centre of excellence, has achieved unimaginable growth and progress, but this success has also brought forth unique challenges that we must address, ” he said.
NAN reports that the summit was attended by permanent secretaries, traditional rulers, commissioners, stakeholders in the built industry, Lagos State House of Assembly members and local government chairmen, among others. | https://www.pulse.ng/news/local/fashola-urges-town-planners-to-be-actively-involved-in-lagos-mega-city-plan/ktscwht | 2024-10-15T18:13:14Z |
The facts behind Hurricane Milton misinformation
At least three congressional Republicans have condemned conspiracy theories repeated by fellow members of their party
The aftermath of Hurricane Milton has left a trail of misinformation about relief efforts in hard-hit Florida, including conspiracy theories about officials controlling the weather.
The storm’s devastation was not as severe as initially feared in Florida, one of the many states that were battered by Hurricane Helene nearly two weeks earlier.
A wave of misinformation caused at least three congressional Republicans to condemn conspiracy theories repeated by fellow members of their party.
Social media accounts also shared AI-generated content showing false imagery of the damage. Others used AI to amplify political messages before the November 5 election.
“This idea of influencing people’s perception of reality, and the real impact it has, is huge,” said Henry Ajder, an independent adviser on generative AI.
“We are seeing on social media the narrative about Democrats controlling the weather, AI-generated imagery of how Fema [Federal Emergency Management Agency] are failing … fuelling a hateful and impactful fire. This makes it more difficult for these people to do their job in incredibly challenging circumstances.”
Here are some of the misinformation narratives that emerged:
CLAIM: Images show flooded Disney World in Orlando
What we know:
AI-generated images were shared online alongside false captions stating they showed the devastation caused by the storm at the theme park.
An analysis run through TrueMedia.org, an online deepfake detection platform, concluded there is “substantial evidence of manipulation”, adding that text-to-AI image generator Stable Diffusion was the likely source of these images.
Hany Farid, a digital forensics expert at the University of California, Berkeley, said in an email that their models flagged these images as probably AI-generated.
“These three images are [not very good] AI-generated images,” he added. “There are tell-tale and obvious structural defects in all images including inconsistent reflections in the water.
“The danger of this content is that it further muddies the waters as officials are trying to save lives and it casts everything we see into doubt. This poisoning of the information ecosystem is incredibly dangerous for our society and democracy.”
The theme park, which was closed on Wednesday and Thursday, reopened on Friday but its website did not specify if there was any damage at the location. Walt Disney World did not respond to a request for comment.
CLAIM: Video showing frequency waves pumping through Hurricane Milton are “not natural”
What we know:
A 41-second clip shared on X, clocking more than 1.5-million views, shows a wall of clouds rotating about a central core and occasional blue flashes appearing in or about those clouds.
The video was shared as supposed evidence of unnatural “frequency waves” emerging from Milton, suggesting the storm was engineered to be a weapon.
But the video can be traced to an Instagram post published by the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (Cira) at Colorado State University.
A Cira spokesperson said that “frequency waves” did not exist and the video shows cloud movement during the formation of Milton with lightning colorized blue for visibility.
CLAIM: Underwater imagery shows HAARP facility controlling Florida weather
What we know:
A video shared online shows a person using Google Maps’ satellite imagery about Florida to zoom in on an underwater facility, claiming it belongs to the Alaska-based High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (Haarp), which has often been invoked in narratives suggesting the government can control the weather.
But the image shows a coral nursery off the Florida Keys run by a conservation group, not a Haarp facility.
A spokesperson for Haarp also said, “Haarp can’t create, modify or manipulate a hurricane.”
CLAIM: Fema official says they have plans to “execute” people in an audio clip
What we know:
A 2021 audio clip repurposed online to make false suggestions that Fema had plans to “execute” people as Hurricane Milton barrelled towards Florida earlier this week gathered more than 800,000 impressions.
In the original clip (timestamp 20.03) from a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on the Afghanistan withdrawal, US secretary of defense Lloyd Austin is seen making an apparent verbal slip-up, saying, “we plan to execute …” before correcting himself while detailing the evacuation plan for “70,000-80,000 people”.
CLAIM: Fema funds for disaster relief are used to house “illegal immigrants”
What we know:
This is misleading. Posts on social media have accused the Biden-Harris administration of diverting funds allocated for Fema disaster relief to help house “illegal immigrants”.
These unfounded claims were amplified by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and Congressman Jim Jordan.
But Fema’s page responding to hurricane-related rumours says, “No money is being diverted from disaster response needs.”
Fema’s Disaster Relief Fund received more than $20bn from Congress for fiscal 2024, according to its budget overview.
The Shelter and Services Program, created in 2023 and administered by Fema, is a separate appropriated grant programme to provide shelter to “noncitizen migrants after their release from the department of homeland security (DHS)”.
When the programme was first created, Congress directed US Customs and Border Protection to transfer $800m from its operations budget to Fema for the Shelter and Services Program.

(MENAFN- IANS) Lucknow, Oct 15 (IANS) The Election Commission has announced by-elections for nine out of ten Assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh. The polling will take place on November 13, and the results will be declared on November 23, along with the results of the Maharashtra and Jharkhand Assembly elections.
No voting will take place for the Milkipur seat in Ayodhya due to a pending legal case.
The contest is primarily seen as a showdown between the BJP and the Samajwadi Party (SP).
The Milkipur by-election is delayed due to a petition filed in the High Court by former MLA Gorakhnath Baba, challenging the 2022 election result in which SP's Awadhesh Prasad emerged victorious. Baba's petition questions the validity of Prasad's nomination, as his notary's license had been cancelled five years prior. With the court yet to deliver a verdict, the election date for Milkipur remains unannounced. The Milkipur seat fell vacant after SP leader Awadhesh Prasad was elected to Lok Sabha from Ayodhya seat.
The nine seats where by-elections will be held include Sisamau (Kanpur), Phulpur (Prayagraj), Karhal (Mainpuri), Majhawan (Mirzapur), Katehari (Ambedkar Nagar), Ghaziabad Sadar, Khair (Aligarh), Kundarki (Moradabad), and Meerapur (Muzaffarnagar).
In Karhal, elections are held after SP chief Akhilesh Yadav vacated the seat following his election as an MP from Kannauj. SP has fielded Tej Pratap, a member of the Mulayam Singh family, to contest the seat. Other seats became vacant due to MLAs becoming MPs, disqualification and resignation.
The Phulpur assembly seat of Prayagraj became vacant after BJP's Praveen Patel was elected as MP. Similarly, elections are being held on Khair assembly constituency after Minister Anoop Pradhan became MP.
The SP has already announced candidates for six of the nine seats, with Tej Pratap contesting from Karhal and Naseem Solanki, wife of former MLA Irfan Solanki, standing for the Sisamau seat.
Meanwhile, BSP chief Mayawati has confirmed her party will contest the by-elections alone, with no alliance with any political party.
In a statement on social media, Mayawati reiterated her commitment to contesting alone, stating the need for elections to be free from money and muscle power. She also called upon BSP workers to mobilise and uphold the ideals of B.R. Ambedkar.
The election notification will be issued on October 18, with the last date for nominations set for October 25. Scrutiny of nominations will be completed by October 28, and candidates can withdraw their candidature until October 30. Voting will take place on November 13, with counting scheduled for November 23.
Additional Chief Electoral Officer Chandrashekhar confirmed that the Model Code of Conduct is now in effect in the districts where by-elections are taking place.

Islamabad: External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar Tuesday exchanged pleasantries with Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, hours after landing in the Pakistani capital in the first such visit from New Delhi in nearly a decade.
The brief exchange and handshake between Jaishankar and Sharif took place at a banquet dinner hosted by the Pakistani prime minister at his residence in honour of the delegates attending a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO).
The Pakistan prime minister greeted all the leaders of the delegations of the SCO member nations at the banquet reception.
Pakistan is hosting the SCO meeting under tight security and the capital city has almost been under lockdown. The main conclave will be held on Wednesday.
It is understood that Jaishankar also exchanged pleasantries with Pakistan Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar at the reception.
Earlier, Jaishankar’s aircraft landed at the Nur Khan airbase on the outskirts of the Pakistani capital city at around 3:30 pm (local time) and he was greeted by senior Pakistani officials.
It is the first time in nearly nine years that India’s foreign minister travelled to Pakistan even as the ties between the two neighbours remained tense over the Kashmir issue and cross-border terrorism emanating from Pakistan.
The external affairs minister will lead the Indian delegation at the SCO Council of Heads of Government (CHG) summit on Wednesday.
“Landed in Islamabad to take part in SCO Council of Heads of Government Meeting,” Jaishankar posted on ‘X’ along with photographs of children and officials welcoming him with flowers at the airport.
The last Indian Foreign Minister to visit Pakistan was Sushma Swaraj. She travelled to Islamabad to attend the ‘Heart of Asia’ conference on Afghanistan, which was held from December 8-9, 2015.
Jaishankar, then India’s foreign secretary, was part of Swaraj’s delegation.
During the visit, Swaraj held talks with her then counterpart Sartaj Aziz.
Following the Swaraj-Aziz talks, a joint statement was released in which both sides announced their decision to start a Comprehensive Bilateral Dialogue.
Little over two weeks after Swaraj’s trip, Prime Minister Narendra Modi sprang a surprise with a 150-minute visit to Lahore on his way back home from Kabul.
Modi visited the ancestral home of his then-Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif and had talks to open ways for peace.
However, a series of terror attacks on India by Pakistan-based terrorists significantly strained the ties subsequently.
Before Jaishankar left for Pakistan, India on Tuesday said it remains actively engaged in various mechanisms of the SCO.
“The SCO CHG meeting is held annually and focuses on the trade and economic agenda of the Organisation,” the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said.
“External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will represent India at the meeting. India remains actively engaged in the SCO format, including various mechanisms and initiatives within the SCO framework,” it said in a brief statement in New Delhi.
Both sides have already ruled out any bilateral talks between Jaishankar and Dar on the sidelines of the SCO summit.
In his recent address at an event, Jaishankar said, “like with any neighbour, India would certainly like to have good relations with Pakistan.”
“But that cannot happen by overlooking cross-border terrorism and indulging in wishful thinking.”
The decision to send the senior minister is seen as a display of India’s commitment to the SCO.
The ties between India and Pakistan came under severe strain after India’s warplanes pounded a Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist training camp in Balakot in Pakistan in February 2019 in response to the Pulwama terror attack.
The relations further deteriorated after India announced the withdrawal of the special powers of Jammu and Kashmir and the bifurcation of the state into two union territories on August 5, 2019.
Pakistan downgraded diplomatic ties with India after New Delhi abrogated Article 370.
India has been maintaining that it desires normal neighbourly relations with Pakistan while insisting that the onus is on Islamabad to create an environment free of terror and hostility for such engagement.
Pakistan’s then foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari visited India in May 2023 to attend an in-person meeting of the foreign ministers of SCO nations in Goa.
It was the first visit of a Pakistani foreign minister to India in almost 12 years.

Apple TV+ is running full speed ahead on Slow Horses: The Emmy-winning spy drama has been renewed for a sixth season.
The show that stars Gary Oldman as the leader of a group of dysfunctional British spies — unaffectionately known as the Slow Horses — just had its fourth season premiere on Sept. 4. It was renewed for a fifth season earlier this year.
"Audiences around the world have fallen in love with the Slow Horses, and I'm delighted that Gary Oldman will be leading this star-studded cast on another acerbic and action-packed adventure," said Apple TV+'s Jay Hunt.
Season six is adapted from Joe Country and Slough House, respectively the sixth and seventh novels in Mick Herron's "Slough House" book series.
All four seasons of Slow Horses hold a perfect 100% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes, the streamer points out.
The six-episode sixth season will see "the Slow Horses on the run as Diana Taverner embroils them all in a fatally high-stakes game of retaliation and revenge," Apple teases.

Is An Etrog The Same As A Lemon, And What's Its Significance During Sukkot?
Etrogs and lemons are both citruses that grow on trees and share a waxy yellow peel. They look similar from a distance, but they are not interchangeable in the kitchen or for religious ceremonies. Etrogs are citrons used in the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, so you'll want to know how to spot one at first sight.
One major difference is that lemon juice is a common ingredient in cooking, while etrogs are cherished for their peels and pith. A round fruit with a smooth peel, the lemon is believed to have originated in Southeast Asia, and lemons grow all over the Middle East. It's not uncommon to find lemon trees growing in people's backyard gardens in Jordan, Palestine, and Lebanon. Just one lemon holds up to 1.5 fluid ounces of juice, making lemons perfect for cooking applications. You can squeeze out every last drop for a tall glass of lemonade with its sour goodness. Lemons' zesty tang can transform familiar dishes into showstoppers like fluffy lemon ricotta pancakes. Lemons' applications are endless — whether they are used in pasta, lobster, or sorbet.
Etrogs are oblong citrons with bumpy skin, and they're often bigger than lemons. They have less pulp than lemons, despite their size, so they're not as optimal for juicing. People love these fruits because their peels make for a great candied treat. Etrog can be a part of desserts like cookies or turned into jams. This plant goes beyond an ingredient and into a part of Jewish tradition as an important symbol.
Etrogs are a ceremonial fruit in Jewish tradition
Sukkot is a Jewish thanksgiving and harvest celebration to commemorate the exodus from Egypt — a time when they fled the country and made a pilgrimage across the desert in search of a better life. The desert was a harsh area without reliable food sources, and these ancient Jewish people could only build temporary homes to survive. To honor these difficult times, modern Jewish people carry on the tradition of camping in makeshift shelters.
The etrog plant is one of four branches used in the festivities of this holiday, including a palm branch, myrtle, and willow. These plants are built into the temporary shelters and waved in a prayer ritual to honor the Jewish people's Creator. Because of Sukkot's sacred nature, the plants used in their ceremonies can't be blemished in any way. In an article for Exploring Judaism, Rabbi Dan Ornstein explains that the etrog must be grown and harvested in perfect condition — part of the mindset being that you wouldn't offer a broken gift to a loved one.
However, the etrogs don't have to go to waste once the Sukkot rituals commence, according to the American Jewish Historical Society. You're more than welcome to cook them however you want and there are recipes you can use them for in accordance with the kosher diet. So enjoy your etrogs and have a wonderful Sukkot! | https://www.chowhound.com/1679300/what-is-etrog-meaning-sukkot/ | 2024-10-15T18:13:18Z |

The 5 best penalty takers in world football according to EA FC 25
Penalty-taking is an art form which only a select few have truly mastered in real life, but who are the best players to rely on from the spot in FC 25?
There are some obvious names at the top of the game that we default to when it comes to taking penalties, but in searching for the five best penalty takers in EA’s latest football offering, we found one or two surprising inclusions.
Read on to discover the five best penalty-takers in FC 25. Surprisingly, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Kylian Mbappe all miss out.
5. Erling Haaland – 90
One of the best players in the game and an absolute freak in real life, it’s no big surprise seeing Haaland sneak into the top five here.
He’s scored 46 times from the spot in real life and missed just five, and possesses a shot power like no other. Having to stand up tall against that absolute freak while he shapes up to send a rocket towards you must be terrifying.
The Norwegian won’t come cheap in FC 25, though, in either Ultimate Team or Career Mode, so it might be best to look elsewhere for a penalty specialist.
=2. Borja Iglesias – 92
The 31-year-old striker spent the second half of the 2023-24 season on loan at Bayer Leverkusen to provide cover for Victor Boniface and left having won a Bundesliga title, but failed to score during his spell in Germany.
Iglesias has otherwise spent his entire career in his native Spain without causing too much fuss, but his quietly impressive penalty record of 36 scored, four missed sees him come into FC 25 with one of the best penalty ratings in the game.
If you need a penalty taker on a budget, Iglesias is your man.

TRY A QUIZ: Can you name the 30 highest-rated defenders on EA FC 25?
=2. Ivan Toney – 92
No surprises here. We’re gutted about Toney moving to Saudi Arabia for a number of reasons, one of them being that we no longer get to watch him make a mockery out of goalkeepers from 12 yards in the Premier League.
Seriously, how does he do it? The technique is brilliant, but it’s the sheer audacity that ties it all together, giving keepers the eyes wherever he goes.
Toney has only missed two penalties in his career, which is outrageous given his approach. Honestly, we feel he’s been done a little hard done by with this rating.
=2. Andrej Kramaric – 92
Some fans may remember Kramaric for his ill-fated spell at Leicester in the season they won the Premier League, where he only played twice in the league and was thus ineligible for a winners’ medal before leaving after one season.
He’s since rebuilt his career away from England, though, starring for Hoffenheim and Croatia at international level. Kramaric has scored 53 career penalties to date and has also been partial to a no-look spot kick similar to Toney.
If you want a penalty specialist in Ultimate Team or Career Mode, he’ll likely be available on the cheap.
1. Harry Kane – 93
Kane tops the lot with an astonishing 93 penalties rating in FC 25 and it’s pretty hard to argue.
The Bayern Munich striker has long been a killer from the spot, scoring 80 out of 91 career penalties for club and country. To add to that, he’s not missed a penalty since having an effort saved by Hugo Lloris at the 2022 World Cup and has scored every penalty he’s taken so far for Bayern.
He’ll come at a cost, but for a player of his quality, it’s so worth it. Cheat code. | https://www.planetfootball.com/lists-and-rankings/ea-fc-25-best-penalty-takers-world-football-haaland-kane | 2024-10-15T18:13:18Z |

At a trailer park in Zephyrhills, Gov. Ron DeSantis announced that half a million dollars is coming from the Florida Disaster Fund to support nonprofits engaged in storm recovery in Milton’s wake.
Speaking at Betmar Acres Mobile Home Park, DeSantis said the state would send $50,000 each to 10 organizations to help people in Pasco County and surrounding areas displaced by the storm.

Additionally, DeSantis announced that Lowe’s would provide 250 “flood buckets,” including bleach, sponges and other items, to clean up water and sanitize after the floods that hit, even though Pasco and other counties were north of the landfall.
“The northern part of the storm is just so wet,” DeSantis said. “You have places in Pinellas, Pasco, Hillsborough, Polk that they just got inundated with water, and so you had 10 to 15 inches that occurred along and east of the I-75 corridor. Both inland and riverine flooding have been observed. Clearly there were multiple places within Pasco County that have seen that.”
Emergency Management Director Kevin Guthrie noted that 20 additional pumps have been provided to help remove floodwaters in the area. He noted that multiple rivers are in flood stage, and those floods would have to recede before substantial progress could be made.
DeSantis also noted progress in electricity reconnections with “4 million accounts restored to power,” leaving “about 170,000 accounts without power,” with TECO, FPL and Duke Energy customers bearing the impacts.
Only Hillsborough is over 10% without power at this point, at “about 12%,” but with an “aggressive timeline” for restoration, DeSantis added.
And gas shortages are coming to a close, with “fuel really rushing into state” and imports via Port Canaveral “doubled.”
The Governor noted that not every gas station will have gas, given this is “not Venezuela” and that sector is controlled by “private markets, private companies,” so “you’re not going to have the state controlling” the flow of gas.
The state has provided more than 2.5 million gallons of gas free of charge, with “backfilling” of some stations and 10 “open fuel sites” in Southwest Florida. | https://floridapolitics.com/archives/701632-gov-pasco-gas-power/ | 2024-10-15T18:13:18Z |
LAWRENCE TWP., New Jersey -- A 12-year-old boy is dead after a tree fell on him while he was playing with a friend in his backyard, authorities said.
The incident occurred at approximately 12:09 p.m. on Monday when officers from the Lawrence Township Police Department in New Jersey responded to the 100 block of Eldridge Avenue in regard to a "report of a tree that had fallen on a 12-year-old male," according to a statement from the Lawrence Township Police Department early Tuesday morning.
"Officers were able to free the juvenile from under the fallen tree and began CPR," police said in their statement. "The victim was transported to Capital Health System - Regional Medical Center by Lawrence Township EMS, where he later succumbed to his injuries."
Investigators subsequently determined that the boy was playing with a friend in his backyard when the tree was "blown over by gusty winds, striking the juvenile and causing fatal injuries," according to authorities.
The Lawrence Township School District said that they will have grief counselors on hand to assist students and staff in the aftermath of the accident.
"In addition, therapy dogs and members of the Mercer County Traumatic Loss Coalition will be on school grounds to provide assistance," police said.
The investigation into the accident is currently active and ongoing. | https://abc7chicago.com/post/12-year-old-killed-fallen-tree-limb-mercer-county-new-jersey/15428586/ | 2024-10-15T18:13:20Z |

Bollywood actor Alia Bhatt's film 'Jigra' was released in theatres last Friday. The film got embroiled in controversies as soon as it hit the theatres. The producer and actor of the film 'Savi', Divya Khossla, put 'Jigra' in the dock and made many allegations against the makers including Karan Johar and Alia Bhatt. While Alia remained silent on these allegations, Karan Johar responded without taking names. Moreover, from Instagram to Twitter, the fans of both the filmmakers also clashed, however, everyone had the same question, 'Is Jigra a copy of Savi?' The makers of both these films neither gave may not have given an accurate answer to these rumours but we have brought the real truth here.
Similarities between 'Savi' and 'Jigra'
Yes, there are some similarities between the films 'Savi' and 'Jigra', but they are quite minor. Both films have a woman at the centre. The themes of both female-centric films are also quite similar, where the leading ladies of both are engaged in saving their closest ones. In both films, the woman frees her close ones from jail. In 'Savi', a housewife tries to free her husband from a high-security jail and somehow succeeds in it, while in 'Jigra', Alia Bhatt's character is seen trying to save her brother. While Alia's character is joined by Manoj Pahwa in the film. Divya Khossla is supported by Anil Kapoor in 'Savi'.
Apart from this, there is not a single scene in the film that is similar. Both Alia and Divya are seen with dishevelled hair and guns in one scene, but Alia is shown to be quite confident in every action scene. Divya plays a rather scared and helpless wife's role. Both the heroines have a no-makeup look, but while Divya's dressing style is completely European, Alia's is Korean-inspired. The story of both films is emotional but falls short in many ways.
What did Divya Khossla say about her film?
Recently, Divya Khosla talked about the comparison between 'Savi' and 'Jigra' and said that the story of her film was inspired by the mythological tale of Savitri and Satyavan. On the comparison with 'Jigra', she said, 'Every film has its own journey.' Savi's director and lead actress Divya Khosla has accepted that both films have their journey. She also claimed that this is the first film of this genre, but is her claim correct? Many such female-centric films have been made in India before, where a female lead character has saved her close one and if Divya Khossla is talking about the first female lead film on Jailbreak, then perhaps she is forgetting Bobby Deol, Manisha Koirala and Kajol's film 'Gupt'.
'Savi' is not the first of its kind!
It is worth noting that neither the plot of Alia's 'Jigra' is completely new nor that of Divya Khosla Kumar's 'Savi'. First, let's talk about 'Jigra' which is more influenced by Sridevi and Sanjay Dutt's 'Gumrah' than 'Savi'. Despite lakhs of claims, the plots of both films seemed similar to the audience. While in 'Jigra' Alia is getting her brother out of jail, in 'Gumrah' Sanjay Dutt is getting his sister out of jail. Both the stories have action and jailbreak scenes. The only difference is that 'Gumrah' has an Indian background, while 'Jigra' shows Korea. Now coming to 'Savi', this film is also a remake of a Hollywood and French film. The French film 'Pour Elle' was released in 2008. Its American remake was made in 2010, named 'The Next Three Days'. Divya's 'Savi' is the Hindi remake of this film only.

Washington: The Biden administration believes it has won assurances from Israel that it will not hit Iranian nuclear or oil sites as it looks to strike back following Iran’s missile barrage earlier this month, two US officials said Tuesday.
The administration also believes that sending a US Terminal High Altitude Area Defence battery to Israel and roughly 100 soldiers to operate it has eased some of Israel’s concerns about possible Iranian retaliation and general security issues.
The Pentagon Sunday announced the THAAD deployment to help bolster Israel’s air defences following Iran’s ballistic missile attacks on Israel in April and October, saying it was authorized at the direction of President Joe Biden.
However, the US officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private diplomatic discussions, cautioned that the assurance is not iron-clad and that circumstances could change. The officials also noted that Israel’s track record on fulfilling assurances in the past is mixed and has often reflected domestic Israeli politics that have upended Washington’s expectations.
The most recent example of that was last month when US officials were told by their Israeli counterparts that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would welcome a US- and French-led temporary cease-fire initiative for Lebanon only to see Israel launch a massive airstrike that killed Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah two days later.
Netanyahu’s office said in a statement that “we listen to the opinions of the United States, but we will make our final decisions based on our national interests”.
The Middle East has been bracing for an expected response from Israel after Iran launched roughly 180 ballistic missiles on Oct 1, which the United States helped to fend off. The tit-for-tat strikes and uncertainty about whether Israel might strike strategically important energy and nuclear sites in Iran have raised fears about escalation into an all-out regional war.
Israel’s offensive against Iranian-backed Hamas militants in Gaza has expanded into a ground invasion of Lebanon targeting Hezbollah, another Iranian proxy that has been firing into Israel since the conflict in Gaza started a year ago in solidarity with Hamas.
Biden has said he would not support a retaliatory Israeli strike on sites related to Tehran’s nuclear programme and urged Israel to consider alternatives to hitting Iran’s oil sector. Such a strike could affect the global oil market and boost pump prices just ahead of the US presidential election.
Biden and Netanyahu spoke by phone last week for the first time in seven weeks, while Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin has been speaking regularly with his Israeli counterpart, Yoav Gallant.
The Pentagon said in a readout of a call from Sunday that the US has reaffirmed its support for Israel’s security but urged it to ensure protections for UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon, shift from military operations to a diplomatic solution and “raised concern for the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza and stressed that steps must be taken soon to address it”.
The White House National Security Council declined to confirm that Netanyahu offered Biden any assurances about targets.
“Our commitment to Israel’s defence is ironclad,” the White House National Security Council said in a statement. “We will not discuss private diplomatic discussions and would refer you to the Israeli government to speak to their own potential military operations.

Key Takeaways
- Apple has just announced the long-awaited seventh-generation iPad mini.
- The new device arrives with the A17 Pro chip, a new 128GB base storage configuration, Apple Pencil Pro support, among other additions.
- The iPad mini 7 is available now for pre-order at $500, with general availability slated for October 23.
In a surprise move, Apple has announced the long-awaited refresh to its popular iPad mini tablet. This seventh-generation mini is equipped with the new A17 Pro chipset, which makes it Apple Intelligence-ready from day one. Other notable changes include Apple Pencil Pro support, a new base storage configuration of 128GB, a faster USB-C port, and Wi-Fi 6E support.
The iPad mini 7 is available now for pre-order now and will officially release on October 23 for a starting price of $500. This base configuration ships with 128GB of internal storage. Colorways include a choice of blue, purple, starlight, and space grey, with the blue color replacing the outgoing pink from the iPad mini 6.
I miss when Apple only launched products when they were 100% done
It's not just about practicality and getting features out -- it's about excitement.
The iPad mini 7 looks to be a fairly minor upgrade overall
The design remains the same, with only the internals receiving a refresh
Externally speaking, Apple's new iPad mini 7 looks just about identical to the outgoing iPad mini 6, which was released in 2021 and represented a major overhaul of the iPad mini design language.
The general size and dimensions remain unchanged, with the only physical difference being the new blue colorway and the updated purple hue on offer. Rather, it's what's on the inside that counts: a fairly substantial spec bump that brings Apple's mini-sized tablet up to par with the rest of its portable lineup.
We first saw the A17 Pro chip debut in last year's iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, and it holds the distinction of supporting the Apple Intelligence suite of AI features. Of course, we're still waiting for the first of these AI tools to land in customers' hands, but iOS 18.1 is expected to land before the end of October.
The new 128GB of base storage is long overdue, as is the ability to spec the device up to a higher 512GB configuration.
The new 128GB of base storage is long overdue, as is the ability to spec the device up to a higher 512GB configuration. Wi-Fi 6E and a new 10GBps USB-C port are also welcome upgrades, as is the support for Apple's Pencil Pro stylus.
For better or worse, the iPad mini 7 appears to ship with the same display as its predecessor -- an 8.3-inch 2266 x 1488 pixel resolution LCD panel. The lack of an upgraded 120Hz fast refresh rate is expected, given the new iPhone 16 series also lacks the feature. It's unclear whether Apple has addressed the 'jelly scroll' issue of the iPad Mini 6, which sometimes causes a strange wobbling effect to occur while scrolling.
Apple's potential smart home strategy is the opposite of what I want
Screens in every room isn't home automation at all.
The prospect of a dedicated Apple hardware event to cap off 2024 now seems less likely
We might see the company stealthily drop some M4-based MacBooks before the end of the calendar year
The majority of rumors and leaks indicated that Apple was preparing a dedicated hardware keynote to launch the iPad mini 7, alongside new M4-powered MacBooks, a new M4 iMac, and possibly even a redesigned Mac mini.
However, given Apple's modus operandi with regard to the iPad mini 7, it seems more likely that we'll instead receive additional surprise product announcements from the company.
Apple Intelligence could arrive on iPhone on October 28 -- here's what to expect
According to reports, the first AI features will be released in iOS 18.1 at the end of October. | https://www.pocket-lint.com/apple-shadow-drops-the-ipad-mini-7/ | 2024-10-15T18:13:23Z |

Your Noisy Blender Is A Nuisance, But A Towel Can Help
We love the idea of starting the day with a fresh, healthy smoothie, but we definitely don't love the ear-piercing screech of a blender at the crack of dawn. Whether it's for a protein-packed smoothie or frozen margaritas later in the day, the loud roar of your blender is a minor disturbance, but it's one you can easily quell. All you need is a towel! Here's the science behind how it helps.
Blenders generate noise for two primary reasons: the high-speed motor and the vibrations caused by the spinning blades. These vibrations, which are necessary to break down solid foods, create sound waves that transfer into the countertop, amplifying the noise.
By placing a towel underneath the blender, you can dampen this vibration. The towel works as a sound absorber, acting as a barrier between the vibrating blender and the hard surface below. Sound absorption occurs because the towel's soft, porous material disperses the sound energy, converting it into a less noticeable form.
To use this trick, fold an everyday kitchen towel and place it under your blender before starting. Make sure the appliance remains stable on the towel. It's a quick and affordable way to make your blending routine less noisy while protecting your countertops from scratches.
Some blenders are quieter than others
If the towel trick doesn't quiet your blender enough, you might be in the market for a more permanent solution. However, a blender is truly an investment. When you're spending so much, you almost want to find a blender that cleans itself, or one that is silent altogether. Different types of blenders can vary greatly in how much noise they produce. We've found some that are at the happy medium of not too pricey, but not too loud.
Some pricier models, like those from Vevor, include sound shields or insulated motors that significantly reduce blending noise. If you're seeking top-tier performance without the commotion, these options are worth exploring.
On the other hand, personal blenders tend to be quieter simply due to their size. Since they're smaller and less powerful than larger models, they generate less noise. A personal blender like the Magic Bullet could be a great choice if you mostly make single-serving smoothies or shakes and want a quieter kitchen experience.
However, for those who need power without excessive noise, high-end, high-performance blenders like Vitamix are a strong option. While traditionally louder, some models are designed with quieter motors or specially shaped containers to reduce sound while maintaining their powerful blending capabilities. If you value peace and quiet, consider investing in a blender that's known for its noise control — paired with the towel trick, it'll make your blending experience much more peaceful. | https://www.chowhound.com/1686551/towel-trick-quiet-blender-noise/ | 2024-10-15T18:13:24Z |

An organization representing election officials in all 67 Florida counties is again asking state officials for short-term accommodations so voters can cast ballots in storm-ravaged areas after Hurricane Milton.
The Florida Supervisors of Elections (FSE) sent a letter to Secretary of State Cord Byrd and Division of Elections Director Maria Matthews requesting temporarily loosened voting restrictions in 10 counties.
They include Manatee, Pinellas, Polk and Sarasota counties, which the FSE letter noted as having suffered “extensive damage” from Milton; and Collier, Glades, Highlands, Indian River, Orange and St. Lucie counties in Central and East Florida, which sustained tornadic and water damage that could hinder regular election activity.
Sarasota was also among 13 counties for which the FSE sought changes on Oct. 2 after Hurricane Helene. Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an executive order three days later honoring every request the organization made, and even offered more concessions so voting could go smoothly.
Now more help is needed, according to FSE Executive Director David Ramba and Deputy Executive Director Ryan Cox. The two wrote anout how damaged roads, communication networks and public buildings have rendered some polling sites unusable or inaccessible. Power outages and disrupted communication lines are preventing local election officials from notifying voters about substitute sites and procedures.
“(These) regions are facing unprecedented challenges in the aftermath of these hurricanes,” they wrote. “The compounded effects of these natural disasters exacerbated the difficulties in preparing for the upcoming election and an additional Executive Order addressing these concerns is necessary and imperative.”
Additional accommodations the FSE is requesting include:
— Extending the deadline for designating and notifying voters of ballot drop boxes and early voting sites to 10 days before an election, up from 30 days before in Milton-affected counties and 20 days before for Helene-affected counties.
— Waiving a requirement that relocated or consolidated polling places must be within a neighboring precinct.
— Extending early voting through Election Day at the main and branch offices of Pinellas and Taylor counties, both of which were among the 13 counties hit hard by Helene late last month.
— Allowing the secure ballot intake stations (ballot drop boxes) in Pinellas to continue operating through the Monday before Election Day.
— Vote-by-mail modifications, including adding for Milton-affected counties changes DeSantis approved after Helene easing mail-in ballot requests at alternative addresses and extending the deadline for ballot deliveries, waiving the need for voters to fill out an emergency affidavit to request a mail-in ballot during early voting, and enabling immediate family members of first responders, line workers and relief workers to request mail-in ballots on their behalf.

The victim's sister and fellow train operator says tree along NJ Transit River Line route has been an issue for years
MANSFIELD TWP., New Jersey -- The family of the New Jersey Transit operator who was killed in Monday's train accident plans to take legal action after the deadly incident.
The victim has been identified as Jessica Haley, a single mother of three boys from Levittown, Pennsylvania, according to Kila Baldwin, the attorney retained to represent the family.
"The family is understandably devastated and intends to pursue this matter to the fullest extent of the law to prevent anyone from ever suffering the same fate," Baldwin said in a statement on behalf of the family.
The victim's sister and fellow train operator, Rebecca Haley, says trees along the NJ Transit River Line route have been an issue for years, adding that "other trains had hit downed trees in recent years."
The accident happened just after 6 a.m. on Monday on the New Jersey River Line Light Rail track near US 130.
The train was traveling southbound from Trenton when it struck a tree just north of Roebling Station.
Haley was killed and 23 passengers were injured. The injured passengers are all expected to be okay.
In the statement, Baldwin said they intend to file a tort claims act (FTCA). An FTCA allows people to file claims against the federal government in cases, such as wrongful death.
Baldwin said they are filing the FTCA against New Jersey Transit, as well as several other entities, for "failure of the responsible parties to inspect these tracks and keep them clear."
ABC Philadelphia affiliate WPVI reached out to NJ Transit for comment but have not yet heard back.
"It is the duty of all companies who operate trains to ensure the tracks are clear for the safety of everyone on those trains, including the operators of the trains, like Ms. Haley," Baldwin said. "This never should have happened, and we will be investigating the case carefully to hold all responsible parties accountable."
The family attorney claims that at one point, trees that were allegedly deemed "dangerous" along the route were marked with an "X" but were never taken down. Baldwin also claims that there had been a landslide in the area near the crash recently and that a "small retaining wall" was built in a section to "prevent debris from falling on the track." However, Baldwin noted that the specific section where the accident occurred had "no protection."

The Brain & Performance Centre in Dubai ambassador reveals how treatment at the DP World Tour company aided his recovery from a harrowing illness

After his recent career-changing runner-up finish at the DP World Tour’s Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, UAE resident Nicolas Colsaerts has taken time to reflect on the past couple of years—both on and off the golf course.
Despite missing nine cuts in his previous 15 starts during the 2024 Race to Dubai campaign, the 41-year-old pushed one of the world’s best players to the limit. He was denied victory by a single shot when England's Tyrrell Hatton made a birdie on the 18th hole at St Andrews’ Old Course.
“I was fully present every second of the day, every shot of the day,” he told the DP World Tour media team. “When you stop putting unnecessary pressure on yourself, you can play the game freely, and it feels incredibly good.”
His runner-up finish has most significantly seen him regain his card for next season on the DP World Tour, and earned him almost €500,000 in prize money, considerably his biggest pay cheque since he won the Open de France in 2019.
As Colsaerts alludes to, he has faced personal challenges – publicly revealing in 2022 that he feared for his life after being diagnosed with a rare kidney disease - which have stood in his way of returning to his full potential, resulting in him balancing his playing opportunities with being a commentator.
Earlier in the 2024 season, he revealed he struggled with “toxic” self-criticism after finding it difficult to reassess his goals following his spell away with illness.
Colsaerts reflected on his treatment at The Brain & Performance Centre, Dubai—a DP World Tour company. The centre offers a groundbreaking and innovative brain performance medical treatment protocol. This program is based on over 15 years of accredited research studying the impact of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) on the brain's regeneration process.
Colsaerts said: “Their extensive facilities are located in JLT, very close to Emirates Golf Club here in Dubai. They were the title sponsors of the DP World Tour tournament held on the Fire course at Jumeirah Golf Estates in November 2023, which I participated in. That was when I first became aware of them and decided to begin treatment.
“I completed the Medical Programme at The Brain & Performance Centre, which ran for three months. It is designed to help athletes and sports enthusiasts improve their physical and mental performance, including focus, memory, and attention, as well as accelerate physical recovery,” he added.
“Each participant in the programme meets with the clinic’s expert medical professionals, using a combination of The Brain & Performance Centre’s proprietary Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), cognitive and physical training, and a personalised nutritional programme that focuses on two key areas: the cognitive and physical benefits. The HBOT involves breathing 100 per cent pure oxygen in a special room known as an HBOT Suite.’
“According to The Brain & Performance Centre, the biological effects of ageing can be reversed, and we can all regain the peak performance and quality of life we crave for,” Colsaerts said, “I began the original screening process early March 2023.(But) I have missed my job and passion terribly,’ concluded Colsaerts.
But it seems that the smile for Colsaerts is back with his confident gait has returned and we look forward to seeing his resurgence on the DP World Tour over the next few weeks, months and the 2025 season.
It seems that Colsaerts' smile is back, along with his confident stride.

Before Kobe Bryant earned the nickname the ‘Black Mamba’, he was the kid from Lower Merion High School. During the AAU summer basketball circuit, Bryant joined forces with the likes of former NBA stars, Tim Thomas and Vince Carter. Thomas experienced Bryant’s unwavering pursuit of proving the doubters wrong firsthand.
Advertisement
Thomas, the former 7th pick of the 1997 NBA Draft, made a guest appearance on ‘The ShotClock’. He recalled a moment from practice during his AAU days when Kobe proved his teammates wrong. He said,
“Kobe pulled up, kind of deep, and shot an air ball. We were telling him like ‘Yo move in’. He came right back the same spot and shot it again and made it. He just kept elevating.”
His teammates weren’t criticizing Bryant’s skill but were trying to look out for him. For context, Carter and Bryant paired together in 1994. In the 1993-94 NBA season, the average amount of three-pointers attempted per team was 9.9. Teams averaged only 3.3 made three-pointers per game.
In comparison to the modern era of basketball, the incorporation of deep three-pointers in a player’s shot diet during the 1990s wasn’t the norm.
However, Kobe took a simple suggestion from his teammates as a challenge. He proved that he was able to convert that three-point shot.
Although the moment was an eye-opening experience for Thomas, Carter and others on the team, it was a fun experience. Bryant and Carter shared great memories on the team as Kobe once declared it to be “the greatest AAU team ever.”
Kobe mastered the art of mind games
When it comes to winning, Kobe would do whatever it takes to gain the advantage. The Hall-of-Famer is notorious for running through Pau Gasol, his beloved friend and Godfather of his daughter, Natalia. Tim Thomas was no exception.
Thomas revealed in Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes’, ‘ALL THE SMOKE’ that Kobe’s mind games applied to anyone, no matter how close the relationship was. He said,
“That was a contract year for me and then obviously playing against my brother Kobe, right?…I just knew the mental warfare that was gonna be there. Kobe loved to play those games with those he loved. He will say hi to say or do something stupid before the game or not even speak to you just to let you know what type of day it was gonna be.”
The instance to which Thomas referred was the 2006 first-round against the Lakers and the Suns. Despite falling in Game 1, Bryant led the Lakers to a 3-1 lead at one point in the series. His mental antics with Thomas and others made the outcome a possibility.
Bryant’s ability to dominate opponents in the mental aspect of the game was a trait that separated him from his contemporaries. | https://thesportsrush.com/nba-news-kobe-bryant-made-sure-to-prove-aau-teammate-vince-carter-wrong-during-practice-says-tim-thomas/ | 2024-10-15T18:13:28Z |
The atmosphere inside the UFC Apex is electric. The roar of the crowd hangs thick in the air, a constant reminder of the unforgiving stage where dreams are made and shattered. On November 9th, UFC Vegas 100 will see the return of bantamweight veteran Cody Stamann, and for him, this fight isn’t just another night at the office. It’s a crossroads, a do-or-die clash with serious implications for his future in the Octagon.
Stamann, known for his aggressive pressure fighting and relentless wrestling, finds himself in unfamiliar territory. Two consecutive losses have cast a shadow on his once-promising career. The sting of defeat against Douglas Silva De Andrade, a fight many believe he should have won, is still fresh.
“Looking back at the De Andrade fight, I can’t accept that I lost,” Stamann confessed in a recent interview with RG.org. “Mentally, I wasn’t defeated. It was a bad choice in the heat of the moment that cost me the fight.”
But Stamann isn’t one to dwell on the past. His focus is laser-sharp, on the upcoming clash with Da’Mon Blackshear. Both fighters share a similar fighting style, a blend of explosive striking and suffocating grappling. This promises a war of attrition, a test of wills that could erupt into an instant classic.
“Mentally, I’m preparing for a war,” Stamann declared. “Blackshear’s a tall, rangy guy with a strong grappling base. We’re both going to be looking to take it down, and with the small space of the Octagon, it’s definitely going to get physical.”
The pressure for Stamann is undeniable. A loss to Blackshear could put his UFC career on the brink. But instead of succumbing to the weight of expectation, Stamann views it as fuel.
“I know I’m backed into a corner,” he acknowledged. “This fight is about going out there and putting on a performance that leaves no doubt. It’s about securing my future, making sure I still have a job come Monday.”
This unwavering determination is a testament to Stamann’s character. He’s been through the highs and lows of this brutal sport, and each setback has only strengthened his resolve. The fire in his eyes burns brighter than ever, fueled by a desire to silence the doubters and reclaim his place among the bantamweight elite.
His recent loss to Taylor Lapilus, where he inexplicably came out flat despite a meticulous training camp, serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of MMA. Yet, Stamann refuses to let past failures define him. Instead, he uses them as stepping stones, lessons learned that will propel him forward.
As Stamann walks towards the Octagon on November 9th, it won’t just be his fighting skills on display. It will be the culmination of months of tireless training, unwavering belief, and the unyielding spirit of a fighter who refuses to be broken. This is more than just a fight – it’s a chance for redemption, a battle for his future, and a declaration to the world that Cody Stamann is still a force to be reckoned with in the bantamweight division.
Will Stamann find the victory he desperately needs? Or will the pressure prove too much to bear? Tune in to UFC Vegas 100 to witness the return of the “Cody Stamann Show” and find out if the veteran can rewrite his narrative and prove that his fighting spirit remains unbreakable. | https://clutchpoints.com/cody-stamann-prepares-for-war-at-ufc-vegas-100-against-damon-blackshear-in-a-do-or-die-matchup | 2024-10-15T18:13:28Z |

Rajiv Khandelwal turned 49 today on Wednesday. The actor is known for his films like Aamir and Table No. 21. But did you know that the Jaipur-born actor started his journey from Indian television? Rajiv may now be known as a fun host and film actor, but he began his acting journey on the small screen and won the audience with his effortless performances. On the occasion of his birthday, let's have a look at Rajiv Khandelwal's filmography.
Television
In television, Rajiv is known as an actor with a wide range of performances and a powerful presence on screen. He started his career in the early 2000s and became well-known for his roles in popular TV shows like Kahin To Hoga, and Left Right Left. He has played many different types of characters, from romantic leads to more complicated personalities, showing his talent as an actor on the small screen.
Films
In 2008, he started his acting career in Bollywood with the movie Aamir. This was a very important moment in his career. He also won the Filmfare Awards for Best Male Debut for Aamir. After that, he acted in many movies like Soundtrack (2011), Shaitan (2011), Table No. 21 (2013), and Samrat & Co (2015).

Key Takeaways
- The eufyCam S3 Pro offers clear night vision and 4K resolution without requiring a monthly subscription.
- The system includes at least two cameras and a HomeBase for AI recognition of people, animals, and objects.
- While it's a pricey investment at $550, the eufyCam S3 Pro offers impressive features like MaxColor Vision and customizable motion zones.
Having to justify the cost of a smart home product can be difficult to swallow, but it's often a necessary evil -- almost everyone needs a smart doorbell as a part of their home security system. Others are definitely novelties, such as motion sensors , that can trigger lights to turn on. If you're considering turning your home into a smart one, it is important to do research and find one that's not only easy to use, but also fits into your budget. But, if you want higher end additions to your home, you're going to have to spend a prettier penny on them.
That especially goes for outdoor cameras . Security cameras are meant to help you keep an eye on everything that's going on outside your home. They can also provide you with clear images and videos both during the day and at night, so it makes sense for anyone who wants to keep their home protected to install security cameras in other places besides their smart doorbell. The eufyCam S3 Pro is the company's newest addition to its outdoor camera lineup, and while there are multiple configurations to choose from, one thing remains the same for eufy: Its camera resolution is generally some of the best on the market.
I tried the Eufy SmartTrack Link and it's like having a slimmer $20 AirTag
The Eufy SmartTrack Link may not be an Apple product, but it fit beautifully in my FindMy system, wallet, and budget.
The eufyCam S3 Pro isn't just one camera. It's a system that includes at least two cameras and a eufy HomeBase, and it's set up with AI enhancements that distinguish between all kinds of people, animals, and objects. I was able to test out the eufyCam S3 Pro and had some thoughts to share on the entire experience.
EufyCam S3 Pro
The eufyCam S3 Pro comes with two cameras and a eufyy HomeBase S380 to connect it to your router. It offers terrific night vision and clear 4k resolution. It also doesn't have need a monthly subscription to save the recordings.
- MaxColor Vision for day and night
- No monthly subscription
- Comes with solar panels
- Requires HomeBase
- Expensive
Price, availability, & specs
This system is really expensive
As I mentioned above, there are multiple configurations of the eufyCam S3 Pro -- the one I tested out came with two cameras and a HomeBase S380, retailing for $550. That is no small investment by any means, and you should note that there are even bigger packages that include three cameras for $700 and four cameras for $800. If you haven't set up any form of security in your home before, the three- or four-camera packages might be worth considering.
They are available on eufy's website and at Amazon.
The biggest difference between previous eufy cameras is that this has an F1.0 aperture lens and has something called MaxColor Vision, which utilizes four spotlights (compared to two in previous setups) and a 1/1.8-inch CMOS sensor to create night vision photos that look realistic. Night Vision doesn't usually look very clear on many cameras, which is a large downfall for those who don't have great exterior lighting or don't want to have a light on all night to shoot clearly in the dark.
Eufy launches a new SoloCam line of battery-powered security cameras
Anker's smart home brand, Eufy, is introducing a new lineup of battery-powered security cameras under a brand called SoloCam.
The eufyCam S3 Pro cameras connect to your system via Wi-Fi, but the HomeBase S380 must connect to your router via Ethernet and then the cameras connect with that. It's used as a hub for the cameras and helps with AI recognition. The cameras are powered via battery, but they can stay charged longer by using the built-in solar panels or the additional solar panel that you can install and connect to the cameras. The camera kit comes with mounting equipment, an Ethernet cable, and more, giving you all the tools you'll need for any kind of installation process.
What I like about the eufyCam S3 Pro
The night vision is impressive
I've traditionally had Ring cameras for my home security system -- I have a Ring Video Doorbell at my front door and near my garage. So, I set up the eufyCam S3 Pro in my backyard to keep an eye on what was going on. I have previously used a Ring Floodlight Cam to offer both lighting and surveillance, but there are some blind spots on certain areas of the house that I wanted to eliminate.
The fact that these are solar-powered and battery-powered gave me more flexibility with where I could install them. I didn't have to have them near an outlet, so I could actually install them on my deck. I didn't love the idea of drilling holes into the exterior of my house if they were cameras I didn't want to end up keeping, but having them on my deck provided a view of my yard that I've never had before.
Eufy's E340 dual-camera video doorbell is a no-brainer for Eufy fans like me
I went hands-on with the Eufy E340 Dual Camera video doorbell to see how it stands out in a crowded market.
Having used eufy devices before, I already had the app installed on my phone and an account. Installing everything wasn't difficult, and I knew I needed to keep the cameras closer to the HomeBase and router to make sure the Wi-Fi would reach them. As expected, the camera feed showed up in the app and I was able to hear two-way audio, which is standard for most security cameras these days. But what continues to strike me when using eufy cameras is the resolution.
They have a 4K picture with a terrific 8x zoom capability to deliver clear photos day and night. The MaxColor Vision is a lot better than anything a Ring security camera offers as it shows up in rather clear color even if it's pitch dark outside. It uses AI recognition to differentiate between people, animals, and more, and even showed me a raccoon walking through my backyard in all its true color glory. The AI clip stitching went from one camera to another and showed the creature's journey through my backyard and created a seamless clip.
The best Ring cameras to protect your home, indoors and out
Ring makes a number of great smart home cameras -- but which is the best one?
Another boost for eufy is how you don't need to pay for a subscription. The HomeBase S380 is loaded with 16GB of local storage, and you can extend it up to 16TB with a hard drive. The eufyCam S3 Pro also integrates with my Amazon Alexa smart speakers, so I could bring up the feed on my Echo Show 8. I also love being able to customize the zones of what it will pick up -- it offers up to 40 feet and a 120-degree field of view to let me manipulate its focus on certain areas.
What I don't like about the eufyCam S3 Pro
It caused my Wi-Fi to act up
As I mentioned, I have Ring Video Doorbells already. As soon as I plugged the HomeBase S380 into my router, the feed for my Ring Video Doorbell started acting up, and it wouldn't connect to the Internet. My Wi-Fi started to run more slowly when streaming something on my TV, and it's obviously less than ideal when installing any new kind of product. The fact that I had to plug something directly into my router, and it caused other devices in my home to run less than smooth really turned me off to these cameras. If I'm being honest, I finished up the review and uninstalled them. With other camera systems that don't require a hub, it just feels like this is just an extra piece of equipment.
Night Vision does not usually look very clear on many cameras, which is a large downfall for those who don't have great exterior lighting or don't want to have a light on all night to shoot clearly in the dark.
What's the best Google Nest camera?
I took a look at what Google Nest security cameras are available and they each offer -- this is the right one for you and your home.
Another thing I don't love about these cameras is the price tag. While they have a ton of great features, $550 for two cameras and a hub is a significant investment. The advancements in color and picture compared to other options wasn't quite worth it, more so because I already had some security cameras in place. If you're someone that doesn't have cameras set up, this could be a sound investment to start your security journey. But if you're someone like me who already has some in place, this is an expensive addition.
Should you buy the eufyCam S3 Pro?
If you have the money, it could be worth it
The eufyCam S3 Pro is a set of at least two cameras and a HomeBase. For a minimum of $550, it's an investment for anyone who chooses it. But, it does shoot in incredibly clear 4K resolution, and ColorVision makes it look like daytime when it's nighttime. The cameras are easy to mount and run on either battery or solar power, but I did have issues with my Wi-Fi after plugging the HomeBase into my router, making me more leery of using eufy products in the future. Maybe you won't have an issue and, if not, it could be a great set of cameras for you. I hope that's the case.
EufyCam S3 Pro
The eufyCam S3 Pro comes with two cameras and a eufyy HomeBase S380 to connect it to your router. It offers terrific night vision and clear 4k resolution. It also doesn't have need a monthly subscription to save the recordings.

Citigroup Inc.’s C third-quarter 2024 adjusted net income per share of $1.51 surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.34. The metric decreased 0.7% from the year-ago quarter.
Find the latest earnings estimates and surprises on the Zacks Earnings Calendar.
As expected, Citigroup posted a year-over-year increase of 31% in Investment Banking (IB) revenues, driven by strength in Debt Capital Markets. The company also witnessed a rise in total loans and deposits balance in the quarter. However, provisions for credit losses increased.
Net income (GAAP basis) in the quarter was $3.2 billion, which decreased 8.6% from the prior-year quarter.
Citigroup’s Revenues Increase, Expenses Decrease
Revenues, net of interest expenses, moved up 1% year over year to $20.32 billion in the third quarter. The top line surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $19.90 billion.
Excluding divestiture-related impacts, primarily consisting of the nearly $400 million gain from the sale of the Taiwan consumer banking business in the prior-year period, revenues rose 3% year over year.
Net Interest Income (NII) fell 3% year over year to $13.36 billion, while non-interest revenues (NIR) increased 10% to $6.9 billion.
Citigroup’s operating expenses declined 2% year over year to $13.25 billion, both on a reported basis and excluding divestiture-related impacts. This decrease in expenses was primarily due to savings associated with the company’s organizational simplification and stranded cost reductions, partially offset by volume-related expenses, continued investments in transformation and other risks, and control initiatives.
Citigroup’s Segmental Performance
In the Services segment, total revenues, net of interest expenses, were $5.02 billion in the reported quarter, up 8% year over year. The increase primarily reflects continued momentum across Securities Services and Treasury, and Trade Solutions.
The Markets segment’s revenues increased 1% year over year to $4.82 billion, driven by growth in Equity markets’ revenues, partially offset by lower Fixed Income markets’ revenues.
Banking revenues of $1.59 billion moved up 16% year over year, primarily driven by growth in IB.
U.S. Personal Banking’s revenues were $5.05 billion, up 3% from the prior-year quarter, driven by higher net interest income due to loan growth in cards and higher non-interest revenues due to lower partner payments.
In the Wealth segment, revenues were $2 billion in the reported quarter, rising 9% year over year. The increase was driven by a 15% rise in non-interest revenues, reflecting higher investment fee revenues on momentum in client investment assets, as well as a 6% increase in net interest income due to higher deposit volumes and spreads.
Revenues in the All Other segment declined 18% year over year to $1.83 billion.
Citigroup’s Balance Sheet Position Strong
At the end of the third quarter, Citigroup’s deposits were up 2% from the prior quarter’s levels to $1.31 trillion. Also, its loans increased marginally on a sequential basis to $689 billion.
Citigroup' Credit Quality: Mixed Bag
Total non-accrual loans fell 34% year over year to $2.20 billion. However, C’s provisions for credit losses and benefits and claims for the third quarter were $2.67 billion, up 45% from the year-earlier quarter.
Nonetheless, the allowance for credit losses on loans was $22.1 billion, up 9.4% from the prior-year quarter’s levels.
Citigroup's Capital Position Strong
At the end of the third quarter, the bank’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 13.7%, up from 13.6% in the third quarter of 2023. However, the company’s supplementary leverage ratio in the reported quarter was 5.8% compared with 6% in the prior year.
Citigroup's Capital Deployment Solid
In the reported quarter, Citigroup returned $2.1 billion to shareholders through common share dividends and share repurchases.
Citigroup's 2024 Outlook
Management expects revenues of $80-$81 billion, driven by fee growth in the Services segment and a strong IB business.
NII (excluding Markets) is projected to be slightly down on a year-over-year basis.
Management anticipates expenses of $53.5-$53.8 billion (excluding FDIC special assessment and Civil Money Penalties).
Our Viewpoint on Citigroup
The company’s third-quarter 2024 results have reflected strength, driven by higher loans and deposit balances and lower expenses. The company’s revenue growth was largely driven by strength across businesses, particularly in Services, Banking, U.S. Personal Banking and Markets, offset by a decline in All Other segment revenues.
The business transformation initiatives, including its consumer business exits and organizational simplification efforts, will help it in the long run. Focus on growth in the profitable business while eliminating non-viable segments will likely aid results in the long run.

Rafael Nadal is set to retire with one of the most illustrious resumes in ATP history. Apart from winning 22 Grand Slam titles and 36 Masters 1000 titles, Nadal has etched his name in the record books on multiple instances. One such impressive record is the positive overall head-to-head record against all but three players that he has faced in his 23-year career.
Novak Djokovic is often regarded as Nadal’s greatest archnemesis. The two faced off 60 times in their careers, with the majority of these clashes coming toward the tail end of the tournament. Till 2011, Nadal had a massive 16-7 head-to-head advantage.
However, the Serbian tied the tally at 23 apiece during the ATP World Tour Finals 2015. The duo last played during the Paris Olympics 2024, with Nole emerging victorious. The glorious rivalry between the two is set to end 31-29 in Djokovic’s favor.
Only two other players have a positive head-to-head record against Nadal despite facing him at least five times. One would assume Roger Federer, Andy Murray, or Stan Wawrinka would be on that list. However, the remaining two players to achieve this feat are quite surprising – Nikolay Davydenko and Borna Coric.
Players to have faced Nadal at least five times and have a positive H2H record vs him:
Novak Djokovic 31-29
Nikolay Davydenko 6-5
Borna Coric 3-2End of the list
— Luigi Gatto (@gigicat7_) October 14, 2024
Coric has a 3-2 record against the Mallorca native. His 6-1, 6-3 victory in the Cincinnati Masters 2016 remains to be the most dominant win of all.
Rafa had a 3-2 lead in his head-to-head battles against Davydenko. However, during the final few years of his career, the Russian was simply unstoppable when playing against Nadal. From 2009-2011, Davydenko won each of the four matches that they played – including the Shanghai Masters 2009 finals and the Doha Open 2010 finals. The former World No.3 ultimately retired with a 6-5 H2H record against Rafa.
Davydenko wasn’t intimidated when facing Nadal
As surprising as it seems, Davydenko also claimed Nadal to be “just another opponent” when looking back at their duels.
Nadal took very little time to become one of the best players on the tour. His aggressive style of play instilled fear in his opponents. However, Davydenko wasn’t intimidated by Nadal.
In an interview from 2022, the former player had an interesting take on his battles with the Spaniard.
“For me, playing against Nadal on hard felt like playing against just another opponent… In tennis, it is about matchups – my game matched up well with Nadal’s on hardcourts, I had no problems with him,” Davydenko said.
Davydenko retired with no Grand Slam titles. However, a 6-5 winning record against Rafa is one of the most impressive feats he’s achieved. | https://thesportsrush.com/tennis-news-borna-coric-and-nikolay-davydenko-join-novak-djokovic-in-h2h-record-achievement-against-rafael-nadal/ | 2024-10-15T18:13:34Z |
When the microphones turned off on the set of ESPN's First Take, former Dallas Mavericks majority owner Mark Cuban was caught making a sympathetic remark about Dallas Cowboys owner, Jerry Jones.
“I feel bad for Jerry (Jones), I really do,” Cuban said.
The Cowboys are on the wrong side of where they were the previous season. They have a 3-3 record and were dismantled 47-9 by the Detroit Lions on Sunday. It was their second game of allowing 40+ points, with the first coming against the New Orleans Saints in Week 2.
In 2023, Dallas was simply dominant. They ended up with the highest-scoring offense in the league (29.9 points per game). Also, they had the fifth-best defense in the league, only allowing 18.5 points per game. So far this season, it's been the inverse. They're currently 19th in the league on offense and 30th in defense. While some of their downfall can be attributed to Dan Quinn leaving the defensive coordinator position, they retained most of their personnel.
Regardless, the defensive woes have been inexcusable. Also, the offense has looked like a shell of itself. After Michael Irvin sounded the alarm on the Cowboys, Cuban had a similar sentiment, but this one with more empathy and sympathy.
Jerry Jones has question marks around him and the Cowboys
Jones was unhinged in a radio rant about the Cowboys' performance on Tuesday. He scrutinized a reporter for asking about the lack of offseason moves. The attack could be one of frustration, since Jones has a winning expectation for his franchise. The ability to not handle constructive criticism is a little alarming, considering the circumstances.
Also, the Cowboys owner is the general manager of the team. One of the most critical moves he made was not signing current Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry. In a Sports Illustrated article, Jones stated that the team couldn't afford him. Henry ended up signing a two-year, $16 million with the Ravens.
This was one of the many misses in free agency for the Cowboys. They also let Tony Pollard walk in free agency, and he ended up signing with the Tennessee Titans. Had they been willing to spend money on anyone other than quarterback Dak Prescott, and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, this might be a different conversation.
However, there's only been six weeks of the season so far. There's still time for improvement and a turnaround but it's dwindling fast. If Jones can make some needed adjustments via trade or any other move, the Cowboys could have a chance in an unstable NFC East division. | https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-mark-cuban-jerry-jones-admission-amid-struggles | 2024-10-15T18:13:34Z |

How To Cook Twinkies In The Air Fryer
The Twinkie is arguably one of the most iconic American treats of all time (ironically created by a Canadian-born baker), so it should come as no surprise that there are a plethora of ways to spice up the snack cake-eating experience. For instance, in 2002, workers at the now-closed Chip Shop pub in Brooklyn, New York did exactly that when they plunged the treats into hot oil and the deep-fried Twinkie was born (via The New York Times). While you can throw some Twinkies on the grill or make them into a quick and easy dessert for a barbecue, there's a simple and clever alternative that will yield a similarly exciting dessert: Pop them in the air fryer.
If you're looking for a warm and crumbly fried Twinkie experience without the hassle of dealing with all that oil, your hack-friendly air fryer offers an easy solution. In its most basic form, all it requires is putting America's favorite yellow snack cakes in an air fryer basket and letting the countertop appliance work its magic. However, while it might seem like this method couldn't be more straightforward, there are a few things to take into consideration for true air-fried Twinkie bliss.
Tips for air frying Twinkies
If you've seen some of the clips of this hack that have gone viral on social media, you might be tempted to brush your Twinkies in butter before air-frying them, ostensibly for an even richer, crispier finish that melts in your mouth. However, the cakes already contain plenty of fat, so it's not like adding more is necessary. The Takeout's Dennis Lee compared two Twinkies cooked at 400 degrees Fahrenheit in his own experiment and concluded that, while there was a subtle difference in the color and the crispiness of the exterior, it wasn't worth the extra step (and actually might have made it oversaturated). So, consider leaving your Twinkies unbuttered and saving the seasoning for later.
Almost every version of this tasty treat calls for pre-heating your air fryer to between 350 and 400 degrees Fahrenheit. However, after this step, the amount of time that the Twinkies should cook may be dependent on the model of your air fryer. In a basket-style air fryer, expect between three and five minutes of cooking time. Still, practice makes perfect: Try different times to find your preferred amount of crispiness. Once the gooey treats are fresh out of the fryer basket, top them off with powdered sugar, chocolate, or cinnamon for a delicious ending! For a more filling finish, include a scoop of ice cream, whipped cream, or fruit. With a box of Twinkies and an air fryer, you can have dessert on the table in no time. | https://www.chowhound.com/1686582/upgrade-twinkies-air-fryer/ | 2024-10-15T18:13:35Z |
India TV Fact Check: A post circulating widely on social media claims that the late Ratan Tata's pet dog, named 'Goa,' passed away days after the industrialist's demis. However, a Mumbai Police official has debunked this rumour, stating that the claim is false.
What is going viral?
A post is going viral on social media claiming that industrialist Ratan Tata's pet dog 'Goa' has died soon after his owner's death. It is being claimed that 'GOA' did not eat or drink anything after Ratan Tata's death, due to which he died. One such viral caption reads, "Sad news...Tatas pet Dog GOA DIES AFTER 3 DAYS ..OF HIS DEATH ..That's why they say that Dogs are more faithful to their masters, than human beings!"
India TV did investigation
As the post about Ratan Tata's pet dog 'Goa' rapidly spread on social media, we decided to investigate the claim. First, we did a Google Open Search to find news related to the viral claim but we did not find any such report. However, we found an Instagram post from a Mumbai Police officer related to the viral claim.
Sudhir Kudalkar, a Mumbai Police officer, addressed the misinformation by posting on Instagram. In his post, he clarified, "A WhatsApp message is circulating about Late Ratan Tata Ji’s pet dog, Goa, passed away. I verified this with Shantanu Naidu,@suitcase_full_of_sparks who is also known as a close friend of Tata Ji and he confirmed that Goa is doing fine. Please make sure to verify facts before sharing posts."
What came out in fact check?
The fact check has confirmed that the viral post circulating on social media claiming the death of late Ratan Tata's pet dog, Goa, is entirely false. Goa is healthy, and the claim being spread was baseless. Therefore, the people are advised to be cautious of any such post.

Aside from Prime, there are services like Music Unlimited, Prime Video, and, of course, Kindle Unlimited. The last will probably seem like an obvious add-on if you've just bought a Kindle e-reader -- it grants you a world of reading options each month for the price of a single paperback from the convenience store.
Even if you can afford the ongoing cost of an Unlimited subscription, though, you might find that your original reading ambitions were too high, or that you don't like Amazon's selection -- not everyone is into thrillers or romance novels, which seem to be the mainstay. Here's how to get out of a Kindle Unlimited subscription as fast as possible, and what happens when you cancel.

How to cancel Kindle Unlimited
A few quick clicks and you're free
The cancelation process is straightforward, mercifully -- Amazon isn't going to fight you on the way out, unlike your cable or internet provider. It will offer you an alternative, though, as you'll see in a second. Follow these steps whenever you're ready to proceed:
- Go to Amazon.com's Your Memberships & Subscriptions page in a web browser. Sign into your account if you're not already logged in. If you want to return to that page later but don't have the link handy, you can just mouse over Account & Lists, then select Memberships & Subscriptions (see above).
- Under your Membership settings, click Cancel Kindle Unlimited Membership.
- You may be given the option of pausing your subscription for a month. If you take that, your subscription will stop temporarily after the current billing cycle is over.
- If you're sure you want to cancel for good, click Cancel Membership.

What happens when you cancel Kindle Unlimited?
No literary apocalypse, anyway
Once you've decided to cancel, you'll still have access to everything in your Kindle Unlimited account until the current billing cycle is over, by which Amazon means the next time a payment is due. Once that date passes by, however, you'll lose access to every title you checked out, regardless of how far you were into reading something. Don't be too trigger-happy with the cancelation button, in other words. You can of course subscribe again later as if you were a new customer, and your progress may re-sync if you're lucky.
Note that if you choose to pause instead, you can resume your subscription at any time before your paused month is up by going to Kindle Unlimited Central in your web browser. If you don't resume early, your subscription will kick in again at the start of the next cycle, so make sure your credit card or bank account is ready.
Be aware that you can't pause if you're using Kindle Unlimited with a free trial -- or any other form of promotion. So if you earned the service as a bonus with another product, you've got a finite amount of time to use it at zero cost. | https://www.pocket-lint.com/how-to-cancel-kindle-unlimited/ | 2024-10-15T18:13:36Z |
Heading into the last month of campaigning, Republican Rep. David Smith holds a clear cash advantage over Democratic challenger Sarah Henry. But both state parties are continuing to invest heavily in the House District 38 contest.
Smith, a Winter Springs Republican, remains one of the most prolific fundraisers in the House, collecting more than $466,000 as he seeks a fourth term. After spending, he had more than $121,000 in cash on hand as of Oct. 4 in his candidate account.
By comparison, Henry, a Casselberry Democrat, has reported nearly $172,000 in donations. But she has also spent more than $176,000 through the last disclosure period, putting her under by more than $4,000.
She spent nearly $39,000 in the last week of September with Snyder Pickerill Media Group in Chicago and almost $8,000 with Portland-based Mandate Media.
Smith spent some $59,000 with SimWins in the same period, along with more than $7,000 with Nationwide Publishing on direct mail, $5,000 with Ionica Advertising on email blasts and $2,200 with Jet Set Printing to put up more signs.
That’s just the activity coming out of the candidates’ official campaigns.
Friends of David Smith, the political committee boosting the incumbent, also closed the period with more than $112,000 in cash on hand for the last weeks of the campaign, while Friends of Sarah Henry PC was down to just over $20,000.
But the spending by the campaigns tells just part of the story.
The Florida House Republican Campaign Committee has provided more than $52,000 worth of in-kind polling and texts to Smith’s campaign, while the Republican Party of Florida has offered more than $29,000 in campaign staffing and text services.
Meanwhile, the Florida Democratic Party has given more than $40,000 in in-kind staff salaries and benefits. The Florida House Democratic Campaign Committee has made a massive investment, providing more than $136,000 worth of polling and field consulting. | https://floridapolitics.com/archives/701646-david-smith-holds-massive-cash-edge-over-sarah-henry-in-closing-weeks-of-hd-38-race/ | 2024-10-15T18:13:35Z |
(MENAFN- AFP)
US aircraft manufacturer Boeing unveiled measures meant to replenish its cash flow Tuesday, including an intention to raise up to $25 billion, as it navigates recurrent production problems and a major US strike.
In a regulatory filing, the Aviation giant indicated plans to raise the funds by selling stock and debt.
It also earlier announced that it was in an agreement to obtain $10 billion in credit from multiple banks.
The moves come amid a machinist strike in the Seattle region which effectively shut down assembly plants for the 737 MAX and 777.
About 33,000 Boeing workers in the Pacific Northwest have been on strike for nearly a month in a fight focused on higher wages and improved retirement benefits.
Workers complain of more than a decade of near-flat wages during a period when inflation has risen.
Boeing staff with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM), walked off the job on September 13 after overwhelmingly rejecting a contract offer.
The direct financial impact of the first month of the strike cost Boeing more than $3 billion, according to Anderson Economic Group.
- Stalled negotiations -
The IAM said in a statement last week that it is "ready and willing to resume negotiations at any time."
But it added Monday: "While it is important to return to the table, the Union remains firm on securing an agreement that truly reflects the respect our members have earned and deserve."
Last week, Boeing said it planned to cut 10 percent of its workforce as it projected a large third-quarter loss in the wake of the labor action.
The cuts of 17,000 positions globally will include executives, managers and employees, according to Chief Executive Kelly Ortberg, who added that the company must "reset our workforce levels to align with our financial reality."
Details of the cuts are expected to come this week.
The work stoppage has only added to the company's litany of problems.
As a result of the strike, Boeing has said it is pushing back first delivery of the 777X to 2026 from 2025. The much-delayed jet was originally supposed to enter service in January 2020.
Boeing sank into further turmoil in January when a panel blew out mid-flight on an Alaska Airlines plane, necessitating an emergency landing on a 737 MAX, the aircraft involved in two fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019.
That led to the Federal Aviation Administration tightening oversight of Boeing's production processes, capping the company's output. Production on the MAX is now halted due to the IAM strike.

Dan + Shay have a big announcement coming. And no, you don't have to wait "10,000 hours" for it.
The duo hopped on Instagram to share that they're dropping "the announcement we've been teasing for 10 years" on Thursday at 9 a.m. CT.
"What do you think it could be?" they asked fans on their post.
Most took to the comments to guess a Christmas album or a world tour announcement. Fellow country singer Russell Dickerson joined in the fun and wrote, "SANTA ZADDY!!! A 69 convertible too!"
All will be revealed soon on Dan + Shay's socials.
Dan + Shay's latest album is Bigger Houses, which features the #1 hit "Save Me the Trouble," and its title track and follow-up single, which is now in the top 15 of the country charts.
