'What sets this event apart is the unique opportunity for players to meet and compete with people they might never have met before' - Tournament Director Brandon de Souza
Each event will offer plenty of daily prizes, says Brandon D'Souza. -Photo UGC Instagram
Brandon de Souza, Tournament Director of the Ultimate Golf Challenge (UGC), is on a mission to take competitive golf to a new level by blending individual excellence with the magic of team dynamics.
Now in its second year, the UGC is a groundbreaking franchise-based competition featuring 10 teams, each with 14 players, including two women. Each team is owned by a strategic partner.
The UGC’s offers a unique format allows golfers to play not just for themselves but also for the pride of their team.
De Souza, a former professional golfer who now heads a sports and events management agency, explained in an interview with Khaleej Times: “What makes this event special is the opportunity it gives players to meet and compete with people they might never have come across before. Many have played in smaller groups of 12, 16, or even 20, but this event has brought together a larger community, and that’s where the magic happens.
"Each event will offer plenty of daily prizes, culminating in the Grand Final, where one team will be crowned the Ultimate Golf Challenge champion."
The first event takes place on January 30, 2025, at Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club, followed by the second on February 7, 2025, at the Faldo Course at Emirates Golf Club. The Grand Final will be held on February 13, 2025, at the iconic Majlis course, the crown jewel of golf in the UAE.
Players are divided into skill categories - low, medium, and high handicap - guaranteeing a fair and balanced competition. Every team must include two players from the low and high handicap categories, four from the middle, and two women.
De Souza emphasizes the importance of maintaining a fair playing field, stating: "The main thing we’re trying to crack this year is to avoid confusion and ensure players stick to their registered handicaps. Whether you're playing off a low or high stroke index or course rating, your EGF handicap is the one you’ll play off.”
The event uses a combination of Best Ball Stableford and Individual Stableford scoring over three days. Day 1 involves five pairs per team, with the total aggregate of their Stableford points contributing to the team's score. On Day 2, the best ball format takes the stage, while Day 3 is dedicated to singles play. Teams will have the flexibility to rest weaker players on the first two days to maximize their chances.
Reflecting on the growth of competitive team golf, De Souza commented” “I have just came back from Chandigarh, where we ran the Trinity Golf Championship League, and it’s incredible to see how it’s caught fire. People are going nuts over it.”
This enthusiasm is what fuels the Ultimate Golf Challenge. The event offers a platform for both seasoned players and newcomers to connect, compete, and experience the thrill of team-based golf. And with its unique format and inclusive team-building aspect, it's no wonder the UGC is quickly becoming a favourite among golfing communities.

After the Dallas Cowboys lost in blow out fashion to the Detroit Lions, 47-9, tensions were high on a radio show appearance by owner Jerry Jones. The Cowboys president and general manager would seem to threaten the hosts jobs on asking questions about the state of the team which garnered an impassioned response by football analyst Shannon Sharpe.
As mentioned before, the Cowboys were outplayed in every facet by the Lions last Sunday which brings more questions to their team as radio hosts did on 105.3 The Fan where he regularly appears on. Sharpe would say on ESPN's “First Take” that Jones' actions on the show gave him a very bad impression.
“To put a man in fear for his job, I hate, I detest, I despise someone that would pray on the weak,” Sharpe said. “And because Jerry Jones is in an advantageous situation, because he has the power in this situation, he would actually say that publicly. That tells me a lot about a man, that tells me a lot about a man that has power and would abuse that power to tell that man I will get somebody in here to ask me favorable questions. that is absolutely that guy's job is to ask.”
Jones has no doubt been criticized in the past for not being active during the offseason in terms of acquiring more talent and for waiting on giving extensions to quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb.
Shannon Sharpe believes Cowboys' Jerry Jones lacks accountability
Sharpe would continue on the show saying that Jones is not accountable for the negatives of Dallas.
“Jerry wants all the credit when things go well but none of the blame,” Sharpe said. “He told us how many times, ‘the buck stops with me, any deal that’s ever happened I either signed off on it or I got notified of it.’ Now you getting trounced, you getting run through like Sherman went through Atlanta during the Civil War and now you want know part of it when they ask you about it.”
In terms of what Jones said on the radio show that has caused a flurry on social media and in the football world, he would say that he can get others to ask him questions about the team. It was a question of why the Cowboys did not make more moves in the offseason to improve the team.
“This is not your job. Your job isn't to let me go over all the reasons that I did something and I'm sorry that I did it. That's not your job,” Jones said. “I'll get somebody else to ask these questions. I'm not kidding. You're not going to figure it out what the team is doing right or wrong. If you are, or any five or 10 like you, you need to come to this (NFL) meeting I'm going to today with 32 teams here, you're geniuses.”
At any rate, the Cowboys are now 3-3 as they look to bounce back and turn around their season as they head into a much needed bye week and then face the San Francisco 49ers that next Sunday night on Oct. 27. | https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-shannon-sharpe-blasts-jerry-jones-for-threatening-radio-hosts-job | 2024-10-15T18:13:41Z |

The design of the iPad Mini 7 remains largely unchanged from the previous generation, retaining the edge-to-edge screen and flat edges that were introduced with the iPad Mini 6 in 2021. It features an 8.3-inch LCD, along with Touch ID integrated into the top button. The new model continues to prioritize portability and ease of use with its compact design.
Apple Pencil Pro Compatibility and Improved Connectivity
One of the key updates is compatibility with the new Apple Pencil Pro, offering improved precision and usability for creative tasks. This feature was previously exclusive to the M4 iPad Pro and M2 iPad Air, making it a welcome addition to the iPad Mini line.
The iPad Mini 7 also benefits from upgraded connectivity options, including Wi-Fi 6E support for faster internet speeds and a USB Type-C port that is twice as fast as before, with data transfer rates up to 10Gbps. These enhancements ensure that users experience smoother and faster data transfers.

Familiar features

This refresh ensures that users can enjoy the benefits of a new-generation device without sacrificing the features that made the previous model popular.
With its powerful A17 Pro chip, Apple Pencil Pro support, and improved connectivity, the iPad Mini 7 is set to deliver a seamless and efficient user experience, catering to both productivity and entertainment needs.

Key Takeaways
- RCS support in iOS 18 is a mixed bag.
- Automatic updates could mean that not everyone is even running iOS 18, yet.
- Apple's focus is still on iMessage over improving RCS because it prefers selling more iPhones.
Supporting RCS, or "rich communication services," with iOS 18 was supposed to change everything. The technology modernizing carrier-based messaging on Android was going to bring all the benefits of iMessage to chats between iPhones and Pixels. Instead, because of a multitude of factors, it already feels inconsequential.
Apple announced it would adopt RCS on the iPhone in November 2023 as part of its next yearly software update. The company made the announcement sandwiched between multiple changes it was making to comply with the European Union's Digital Markets Act , though the change itself appears to have more to do with keeping carriers in Asia happy than opening up the company's approach to software.
Whatever the reason Apple complied, RCS was supposed to make messaging Android devices like iMessage. But Apple's rollout of the tech has been more than a little bumpy, not working correctly on some phones, not available to all carriers, and not enabled by the simple fact that not everyone has updated to iOS 18, but Apple has no incentive to care, and doesn't have complete control over what happens anyway.
Why Apple finally decided to bring RCS messaging to the iPhone
The iPhone will be adopting RCS later this year, but what took so long to get here? Plus, what should you expect when it arrives?
What RCS does to make messaging better
Modern messaging, with larger files, and more than just text
RCS was created by the GSMA, an international organization composed of carriers, network providers, and smartphone makers, as the alternative to SMS and MMS. It combines the features of both, and adds in other modern touches like read receipts, to make texting work and feel more like the messaging apps that sprung up to make up for the shortcomings of the GSMA's other standards.
The Universal Profile is the RCS specification GSMA created that companies have to adopt, to interoperate with other companies using RCS. The features you'll get after adopting the Universal Profile are pretty straightforward, especially if you already use iMessage on the iPhone or an app like WhatsApp. You'll get things like:
- More room for image and video files
- Read receipts
- GIFs
- Audio messages
- Group messaging
- Longer messages
What RCS doesn't do is change how non-iMessage messages appear on an Apple device. They'll still be green, and if RCS is for some reason not available, an iPhone will drop back to SMS or MMS as a last resort. RCS chats are also not end-to-end encrypted (only readable by the phones in the message or group chat), unlike chats in Apple's Messages app, or chats in Google Messages, which uses an E2EE system Google bolted on top of the normal vanilla Universal Profile.
How to use Gemini in Google Messages
It's much easier to access Gemini in Google Messages than a separate app, but what it can actually do might not be useful for everyone.
That Samsung, one of the largest Android phone makers in the world, opted to use Google Messages rather than its own messaging app didn't happen by accident. It's the result of multiple years of campaigning from Google. First adopting RCS in its own app, then offering to host RCS chats for carriers via its service Jibe, and finally making things even simpler by just getting phone makers to pre-install Google Messages so RCS chats are encrypted by default.
The other major standard Apple has contributed to in the last few years is Matter, the protocol designed to allow smart home devices to talk to each other.
An iPhone using RCS is still better than one that isn't. And Apple has at least said it wants to contribute to RCS so that future chats can be encrypted without having to use Google Messages. But it's clear that RCS isn't the life-changing change that it wasn't claimed to be, and might not solve the social stigma that may or may not exist around green bubbles.
And that's before I've touched on the issues iPhone owners have reported with the current implementation of RCS.
The issues with RCS in iOS 18
Not every carrier is able to enable RCS
A major issue with RCS in iOS 18 as it stands now is that not every carrier supports it. While Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T are able to transfer RCS messages to their appropriate recipients, MVNOs (Mobile Virtual Network Operators) like Google Fi Wireless and Mint Mobile apparently can't -- because Apple won't let them. After some Fi users reported that their iPhones running iOS 18 were still sending SMS messages, Google told 9to5Google that the issue was Apple, not the carrier. "Only Apple has the ability to enable RCS interoperability for iPhone users on Fi, and our hope is that they will do so in the near future," the statement says.
"Only Apple has the ability to enable RCS interoperability for iPhone users on Fi, and our hope is that they will do so in the near future," the statement says.
Apple now publishes a list of wireless carriers and which iPhone features they support, and you can see that Mint Mobile and a few others don't support RCS, and Google Fi Wireless isn't listed at all. If it really all is on Apple, it's not clear why the company would be slow to enable the feature on some MVNOs, especially MVNOs that are technically using networks owned by larger carriers that already support RCS, but it's a real sticking point.
Automatic updates mean that not every phone can use RCS
Then there's the issue of updating to iOS 18. If you have automatic updates enabled, then it's quite possible you haven't updated to iOS 18 yet. Apple can sometimes wait up until a month after a numbered update is released to push it out to all the devices that can run it. These staggered releases make it easier to prevent catastrophic bugs from being on everyone's device at the same time. That way, once everyone is running the latest software, issues have been ironed out, and sometimes delayed features are available.
iOS 18 hasn't had any disastrous issues (though Apple has already pushed out iOS 18.01), but iPadOS 18 has been a bit of a mess. After iPadOS 18 bricked some new M4 iPad Pros, Apple pulled the update entirely and still hasn't rolled it out to its most expensive tablet. That's yet another obstacle to more people using RCS.
RCS itself doesn't always work as expected
Since the update rolled out, another thing users have noticed is inconsistent performance. RCS group messages can break if one person tries sending a message as an SMS message (which can happen if you lose your internet connection). Some iPhone owners have also reported that RCS messages can sometimes take longer to arrive than a more traditional message, which likely has to do with how carriers are handling chats.
It would be simple to lay all of these issues at Apple's feet, but it's as much a problem of how cellphone networks provide their various services as it is the half-hearted way Apple decided to support RCS on the iPhone.
iMessage is its own advantage
Apple would still prefer that everyone just buys an iPhone
Before Apple decided to support RCS, its long-standing stance was that messaging on an iPhone was just better, and the best solution for anyone trying to improve messaging between Android devices and iPhones was to just buy an iPhone. There are very few incentives for Apple to improve open standards or adopt practices that might make it easier to stop using an iPhone.
For as much as the company claims to care about its customers' privacy, it won't let that belief get in the way of more money. iMessage and the Messages app are fantastic products, and have been since the company introduced them with iOS 5. Why upset a system that's already selling iPhones?
There's really no reason for Apple to make the current implementation of RCS better, and so much of the experience is determined by how well carriers hold up their end of the bargain, it makes sense that the company wants to wash its hands of the whole thing. RCS was not a revolution, it will make messaging better, but until there's a reason for Apple to care or a way to make carriers do a better job, don't expect it to ever be as seamless as iMessage.

Week 6 was another wild ride at the running back position for fantasy football managers. 12 total RBs scored 18 or more fantasy points on the week, and several of the names on the list to accomplish the feat were particularly shocking, including Sean Tucker, Tyrone Tracy Jr., Tyler Allgeier and Bucky Irving.
Tucker and Irving in particular took advantage of a prime opportunity in Week 6 thanks to an absence from starting RB Rachaad White. They combined for 297 yards and 3 TDs from scrimmage, and HC Todd Bowles acknowledged Monday that they've made these backs have made their case for a "three-headed monster" — great news for fantasy. Not.

Stone crab is one of Florida’s true dining treats, and the recreation and commercial season for catching the crustaceans is on Tuesday.
Stone crab season runs through May 1 in Florida waters and associated waters. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is encouraging residents who are 16 years or older to take advantage of the season. But there are some strict reminders and stipulations before throwing down stone crab traps into state and federal waters.
For recreational stone crabbers, crab trap registrations are required. The application process is free at the FWC registration website. There’s also a license registration at that site. Following that registration, each person gets a unique trap registration number that has been attached to each trap in a legible and permanent label. Those requirements apply to local waters as well as federal waters.
There are other stipulations, including limits on crabs that are harvested from traps. Each crab that is harvested must have a minimum claw size of 2 7/8 inches long.
There are also stipulations for the actual stone crab traps themselves including “an unobstructed escape ring measuring 2 3/16 inches in diameter that must be located within a vertical exterior trap wall for all recreational and commercial plastic or wood stone crab traps,” an FWC news release said.
Of course, the claws are the point of harvesting the stone crabs. FWC officials advise there are rules for the removal process as well.
“Care should be taken when removing the claws so as to not permanently injure the crab,” the FWC news release said. “Claws may not be taken from egg-bearing stone crabs. Stone crabs may not be harvested with any device that can puncture, crush or injure a crab’s body. Examples of devices that can cause this kind of damage include spears and hooks.”
While there are many stipulations as to catching and harvesting the stone crabs, state officials are pretty liberal when it comes to the amount of stone crabs being harvested, although there are limits on that end as well.

As the pressure for more transparent and cost-effective solutions in the insurance ecosystem rises, Troy Vermillion, a visionary strategist and disruptor, is at the forefront of this transformation. Join him on the latest episode of Disruption Interruption as he discusses how artificial intelligence (AI), and data-driven platforms are making equitable healthcare a reality.
TAMPA BAY, Fla., Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Currently, U.S. employers and private insurers pay, on average, 254% of what Medicare would pay for hospital services. (1) This leads us to ask: Where is this money going and how do they come to this pricing? Karla Jo Helms (KJ), host of the Disruption Interruption podcast, talks with Troy Vermillion, Client Executive at Hylant, a leading insurance brokerage firm —visionary strategist and advocate for equitable healthcare— about the battleground of employee benefits and how traditional healthcare models often prioritize profit over patient outcomes. "The most disruptive thing we can do is question our own beliefs," he states. "What was true yesterday may no longer be true today, especially in a world where technology and healthcare are evolving at such a rapid pace."
Navigating the Healthcare Arena: Transparency and Innovation
Vermillion highlights the complexities of the healthcare system, which often undermines individual interests, and stresses the need to dismantle obsolete employee benefit models and adopt strategies that genuinely benefit them. "The way that the system works... it is against the actual care of the individual. It is built on profit, and people are products in this arena of health care," he states.
According to Vermillion, the rising demand for a more transparent and efficient healthcare system is gaining momentum as the industry faces pressure to provide cost-effective solutions through data-driven technologies. He also highlights that smaller employers often lack access to healthcare data, while employees struggle to understand insurance costs or remain unaware of hidden fees, leaving them at a disadvantage.
The Power of AI for Employee Healthcare Solutions
Emerging AI platforms are leveling the field. This technology will allow companies to access critical demographic data and predict healthcare risks more effectively. By analyzing data like prescription drug usage, doctor visits, and treatment patterns, employers can create tailored, cost-effective healthcare plans.
Vermillion points out that as technology progresses, employers will have more options, such as captive insurance, enabling even smaller companies to self-insure. This evolution will enhance transparency in the industry, benefiting both employers and employees by lowering costs and improving care quality, providing them with the benefits they deserve. "Employers need to demand access to their data. Without it, how can we strategize for better healthcare solutions?", he questions.

Taliban-run media stop showing images of living beings in some Afghan provinces
Taliban-run media have stopped showing images of living beings in some Afghan provinces to comply with morality laws, an official confirmed Tuesday.
In August, the country’s Vice and Virtue Ministry published laws regulating aspects of everyday life, including public transportation, shaving, the media and celebrations reflecting authorities’ interpretation of Islamic law, or Sharia.
Article 17 bans the publication of images of living beings, sparking concerns about the consequences for Afghan media and press freedom.
A spokesman for the Vice and Virtue Ministry, Saif ul Islam Khyber, said government media in the provinces of Takhar, Maidan Wardak and Kandahar have been advised not to air or show images of anything with a soul — meaning people and animals.
Khyber told the Associated Press a day earlier that the ministry was responsible for implementing the morality laws.
The Taliban says it’s mandatory for Afghan women to conceal their voices and bare faces in public.
He did not clarify if the rules affected all media, including foreign outlets, or only Afghan channels and websites.
Nor did he say how the laws would be enforced or if there was a deadline for compliance.
Hujjatullah Mujadidi, the director of the Afghan Independent Journalists Union, said that Vice and Virtue Ministry officials initially told state media to stop running pictures and videos of living beings. This request was later extended to all media in those provinces.
“Last night, independent local media [in some provinces] also stopped running these videos and images and are instead broadcasting nature videos,” Mujadidi said.
No other Muslim-majority country imposes similar restrictions, including Iran and Saudi Arabia. During their previous rule in the late 1990s, the Taliban banned most television, radio and newspapers altogether.

Why The Dodgers Will Cover The Spread/Win
Los Angeles needs to hit the ball well if they want to win this game. Walker Buehler has not thrown the ball well this season, and his lone postseason start was rough. This means the Dodgers really have to back him up. Luckily, Los Angeles has a very good lineup. Mookie Betts and Shohei Ohtani will lead the charge, and they are two of the best hitters in baseball. If the Dodgers hit the ball well, they are a tough team to beat.
One thing the Dodgers have done really well in this series is take their walks. Los Angeles walked seven times in their win, and they were able to draw eight walks in game two. Allowing the Dodgers to reach that base that many times without earning it is never going to be good. If Los Angeles draws their walks in this game, they are going to have plenty of runners in scoring positions. With that, the Dodgers will have a chance to put up some runs and win this game.
Why The Mets Will Cover The Spread/Win
Luis Severino has thrown the ball decently well this postseason. He pitched well enough to lead the Mets to a win over the Brewers in the Wild Card series. He also kept the Mets in the game in his start against the Phillies. New York was not able to hold on in that one, but Severino was definitely good enough for the Mets to win. He has a tough matchup against the Dodgers in this game, but if he can go another six strong innings, the Mets will be able to win this game.
Severino is a better pitcher at home. During the regular season, Severino's ERA was more than two runs better at home, he allowed fewer hits, and opposing teams hit for less power. He has not made a home start yet this postseason, so the adrenaline is going to be pumping in this game. Severino should be able to give the Mets a great chance to win this game with a strong start.
Final Dodgers-Mets Prediction & Pick
Walker Buehler has not been good this season, and he was hit around in his start against the Padres. Because of that, I think the Mets are going to hit the ball well while Luis Severino does enough to lead them to a win. I will take New York to win straight up.

Union External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Tuesday meet and exchanged pleasantries with Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in Islamabad in nearly a decade on the sidelines of the SCO summit. The brief exchange between Jaishankar and Sharif took place at a banquet dinner hosted by the Pakistan prime minister at his residence in honour of the delegates attending a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO).
However, the background of the meeting venue caught the attention of the netizens who brutally trolled Pakistan and said the background of the venue looked like 'barati reception entrance'.
Even some of the social media users wondered whether the curtains used in the background were from a tent house.
"Ye kaisa pandaal banaya hai shadio me b nai lagate aisa ab toh," said one social media user, while another said, "What're those curtains in background from tent house?"
Yet another user said, "Ye shaadiyo waala tent kyu lagaya hai peeche?"
Another user went on to say that "Sir shaddi me gaye ho toh panner aur biryani khake aana."
"Lagta hai kahi marriage chal rahi hai. Bilkul nehin lag raha hai ki background scene ko dekh ke yeh multilateral event hai. Iss din ke liye Hindu land ko Islamization kiye thee. Aaa thooo yeh Islamization ki," one user added.
Notably, 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. | https://www.indiatvnews.com/trending/news/shehbaz-sharif-meets-jaishankar-netizens-troll-pakistan-say-background-looks-like-barati-reception-2024-10-15-957325 | 2024-10-15T18:13:48Z |

Key Takeaways
- Offline Backup is a playlist for Spotify Premium users when your phone or tablet goes offline.
- It's generated automatically using cached files, unlike other Spotify downloads.
- The feature is rolling out gradually as of October 2024.
Most if not all music streaming services have some sort of offline playback support, since people regularly travel places without Wi-Fi or cellular access. Even if there is coverage, caching can be a way of coping with flaky connections or the restrictive data caps imposed by some wireless carriers. Spotify in particular has let Premium subscribers download playlists and other content for several years at this point, including to various wearables, like the Apple Watch .
Now, though, the company is going a step further with a feature called Offline Backup. So what is Offline Backup, and how does it work when you need it?
Is Spotify's audio really lossless, or just close enough?
Whether or not it makes a difference is another matter.
What is Spotify Offline Backup?
A fallback for a fallback
Gradually rolling out as of October 2024, Offline Backup is a contingency playlist that's automatically generated for iPhones and Android devices in case you haven't downloaded any playlists or podcasts on your own. It only includes recently streamed and queued songs, the idea being that you won't use any more storage than Spotify normally caches. The app is making use of data it already has.
It can be sorted by artist, genre, and mood, and Spotify says that it will evolve over time based on your listening habits. One of the company's priorities is keeping the playlist fresh, although there are obvious limitations -- if you've been binging on Taylor Swift and Chappell Roan lately, don't expect the app to have your favorite rap, classical, or ambient music ready to go.
You can also save an Offline Backup mix to your library if it hits a sweet spot.
How do you trigger Offline Backup?
No muss, no fuss
The beauty of Offline Backup is that you don't have to do anything -- assuming you've got the latest version of Spotify on your phone or tablet, the playlist should appear automatically in the app's homescreen when your device goes offline. If you want to trigger it manually, your best bet is flipping on Airplane Mode in Quick Settings (Android) or Control Center (iPhone/iPad). You can also try disabling Wi-Fi and cellular individually if you're worried about disconnecting Bluetooth accessories.
There are some criteria to meet, however:
- It's only available to Premium subscribers. People on the Free tier don't have any access to any form of offline caching.
- Offline listening has to be enabled by going to [Profile picture] -> Settings -> Data Saving and Offline or Storage. It may already be on if you're a Premium customer.
- You need to have listened to at least five songs recently. Your Offline Backup will hopefully be longer than this.
There's also a possibility that the feature hasn't rolled out to you yet. So if you're counting on Offline Backup, try testing it first. If the playlist doesn't appear on your homescreen, you'll have to download one or more playlists of your own choosing.
Should you use Offline Backup?
A matter of practicality versus taste
That depends on your circumstances. When you're low on device storage, Offline Backup is better than nothing if you're not comfortable with silence. If you've got plenty of room to work with, however, you should be downloading your own playlists, given more control over their length and variety. That's especially true on long trips -- a 24-hour Favorites playlist might consume a lot of space, but you'll be thankful if you're ever stuck on a seven-hour drive.
FAQ
Q: Do other music services have a version of Offline Backup?
Not directly. The closest equivalent is probably YouTube Music's Offline Mixtape/Smart Downloads feature, but that fetches up to 500 songs in advance, depending on your settings. It's definitely using storage beyond what the app would normally use, and may not be available if the app hasn't had time for an overnight download over Wi-Fi. | https://www.pocket-lint.com/spotify-offline-backup/ | 2024-10-15T18:13:48Z |

In a meeting with the new local government chairmen, Governor Eno urged them to foster unity and development within their communities, stating, "We must build bridges of unity and development, not walls of hatred and unnecessary partisanship."
He highlighted the importance of their roles as Chief Security Officers, emphasising that they should remain attuned to their constituents' needs to enhance grassroots welfare.
"The Arise Agenda focuses on rural development, and I expect you all to design strategies that align with this vision," he added.

As Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni has been getting flack, especially after the team barely won against the Cleveland Browns, he is also getting some heat for saying he had a hand in the defensive play calling. This isn't the only event where Sirianni has been getting negativity like his interactions with fans last Sunday, but on the topic of the original issue, Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio would downplay the thought of the head coach being involved with the defense.
Fangio would clarify to the media Tuesday that Sirianni did not call a defensive play during the win over the Eagles, but instead provided input in being aware of areas in the game according to Eliot Shorr-Parks of WIP.
“It wasn’t a defensive call. It was just a situation thing to where he just said ‘hey, be alert for this.’ He didn’t call a defense,” Fangio said.
Eagles' Nick Sirianni clarifies his comments on calling a play on defense
The Philadelphia defensive coordinator would later say that Sirianni isn't any different than other head coaches he's worked with in terms of his involvement with the defense. After the game Sunday, Sirianni would claim that he “made a call on defense” according to Sports Illustrated.
“I did that on defense one time as well,” Sirianni said. “I made a call on defense. It didn't work out just so you know. I'll put that out there. That wasn't on [Defensive Coordinator] Vic [Fangio]. I won't tell you which play. I'm going to do that from time to time. This time it didn't work. That's on nobody else but me.”
Sirianni, the Eagles coach who was sporting a new bald look, was followed up with a question Monday and gave more insight into his statements the day before.
“I think it’s very common in the NFL when the head coach gets on and says, ‘Attack; concede; come on, let’s get after these guys.’ I think that is where that comes from,” Sirianni said. “Then there are personal philosophies that I have of how to play certain situations that you talk through. So it wouldn’t be fair for me to have the philosophies that I have, and push that on my coaches, and then not take accountability for it when the play doesn’t work.”
At any rate, the Eagles still came out of the game against the Browns with a victory as they are 3-2 and look to win two straight as they face the New York Giants next Sunday. | https://clutchpoints.com/eagles-news-vic-fangio-shuts-down-nick-sirianni-play-calling-claim | 2024-10-15T18:13:49Z |

Universal’s Epic Universe — the biggest expansion happening in Orlando in decades — could be fully open by Memorial Day 2025, according to a new story from The Wall Street Journal.
Universal Orlando Resort is building a new theme park from the ground up near the Orange County Convention Center. The company has not officially confirmed the theme park’s exact opening date, though Universal has said it expected the park to be open by Summer 2025.
Epic Universe was originally supposed to debut in 2024, but the opening was pushed back during the pandemic.
The Wall Street Journal quoted anonymous sources who were familiar with the project in the new story raising the possibility of an earlier than expected opening. If it’s true, Epic Universe will be arriving ahead of schedule before the Summer season just in time for a busy travel holiday in Orlando.
Universal Orlando Resort did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Florida Politics Tuesday afternoon.
Tickets could go on sale as soon as October, according to the WSJ report, although it’s unknown how much tickets will cost. According to media reports, visitors will reportedly be required to purchase multiday passes to visit Universal’s Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios if they want an opportunity to be among the first to see Epic Universe.
Epic Universe will feature five lands with more than 50 attractions, as well as three hotels.
Throughout this year, Universal has teased new videos and images of the lands to hype up the theme park that’s expected to add fuel to the competition between Disney and Universal. Universal is aiming to be a one-week destination for visitors.
Epic Universe will feature Celestial Park, a grassy park-like land, in addition to other lands devoted to fan-favorite intellectual property of Harry Potter’s Wizarding World, Super Nintendo World, How to Train Your Dragon and Dark Universe of Universal Monsters.
“Epic Universe will present a level of theme park immersion and innovation that is unmatched — transporting guests to expansive worlds featuring more than 50 awe-inspiring attraction, entertainment, dining and shopping experiences that come together to create an unforgettable adventure that is nothing short of epic,” Universal said in a press release earlier this year. | https://floridapolitics.com/archives/701674-could-universal-orlandos-epic-universe-open-sooner-than-expected/ | 2024-10-15T18:13:50Z |

Ghost Train
Historical fantasy novel set in 19th century Japan, to release on October 15
With lyrical prose that evokes the mystique of 19th-century Kyoto, this meticulously researched narrative weaves together historical authenticity with the ethereal allure of yokai folklore.”
NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, October 15, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- SelectBooks publishers are very pleased to announce the upcoming publication of Ghost Train by Natalie Jacobsen (ISBN: 978-1-59079-564-4). Ghost Train is Natalie Jacobsen’s debut novel and it marks a new step in SelectBooks’ effort to develop its list of titles serving a Young Adult and New Adult readership. Coming out in time for the Halloween season, this new book is a suspenseful foray into the realm of Japanese folk horror.— Jake Adelstein, author of Tokyo Vice and The Last Yakuza
Ghost Train is a folk-horror novel set in 1877 Kyoto during Emperor Meiji’s rule which led the way to Japan’s Industrial Revolution—also referred to as the Meiji Restoration. Based on true events and folklore, samurai daughter Maru Hosokawa spends the summer working in a geisha teahouse where she is haunted by: ghosts, plagues, and a mystery surrounding disappearing girls. A kitsune, a fox-shaped demon, finds her and claims the faults lie with the emperor, urging her to help before she too falls victim. The teenage girl overcomes her anxiety and finds the strength to confront authority while challenging the rapid transformation and Westernization of her society—her mission is to save her world while simultaneously finding her place in it.
Jacobsen spent years writing Ghost Train and collaborating with historians and subject matter experts across Japan and the U.S. for historical accuracy. “It was critical that I not only rely on my personal experience in Japan, but others’ perspectives, knowledge, and expertise,” she says. For years Jacobsen has had a career in journalism, media, and nonprofit in both Japan and the U.S. Her beats included civil rights, travel, and lifestyle. She is currently a marketing professional for a Federal workplace giving campaign, and volunteers in her spare time.
SelectBooks Publisher, Kenzi Sugihara’s long career in book publishing includes his stints as a Vice President and Publisher at both Bantam/Doubleday/Dell and at Random House, ushering in a number of best-selling and critically-acclaimed books. He formed SelectBooks in 2000, noting that the emergence of desktop publishing and digital printing presented new opportunities in the industry. In response to what attracted him to Jacobsen’s novel, he stated, “One of the many compelling things that we saw in Ghost Train was Natalie’s ability to assemble this fascinating tapestry of history, fantasy, and Japanese culture to produce an immersive story. I found it to be simultaneously thrilling and meditative. Also, her deep connection with Japanese culture is unmistakable, and quite profound.”
In his endorsement for the book, Jake Adelstein, author of Tokyo Vice and The Last Yakuza, stated, “With lyrical prose that evokes the mystique of 19th-century Kyoto, this meticulously researched narrative weaves together historical authenticity with the ethereal allure of yokai folklore. Prepare to be captivated by a world where every shadow conceals a mystery, every whisper harbors a secret, and every choice echoes in worlds seen and unseen—a mesmerizing journey that will linger in your thoughts long after the final page is turned.”
As a key new release in their developing line of Young Adult publications, SelectBooks hopes that Ghost Train will resonate with a younger generation that is now rediscovering the rich fabric of Japanese society through such pop culture idioms as Manga comics, Anime film, and the video game industry.
Ghost Train hits bookshelves everywhere October 15, 2024. A launch party open to the public is set to be held at Solid State Books in Washington, DC and at the National Press Club in Washington, DC in October and at the Japan Society in New York City in November. She is due to visit a number of bookshops in the Mid-Atlantic and New York regions to speak on Japanese yokai and media, living in Japan, and what we can learn from history’s lessons. “This is my love letter to Japan,” says Jacobsen. “I hope to do right by its history, folklore, and people.”

New Delhi: Temperatures have begun to dip in Delhi, with the city recording its lowest minimum temperature of the month so far at 17.4 degrees Celsius on Tuesday, while the air quality improved to the 'moderate' category.
The air quality in the national capital, which was in the 'poor' category for the past two days and was recorded at 207 at 9 am today, shifted to the 'moderate' category later with a reading of 198 at 4 pm.
Meanwhile, farm fires have decreased, with 2,399 fires reported from the start of the year till October 15, down from 2,791 during the same period last year.
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the minimum temperature of 17.4 degrees Celsius is two notches below the season's average.

On Tuesday, relative humidity fluctuated between 64 per cent and 46 per cent, while the maximum temperature reached 34.2 degrees Celsius, a notch above the seasonal average.

In response to the declining air quality, restrictions under Stage 1 of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) took effect in Delhi on Tuesday.

GRAP Stage 1 also mandates strict checks on polluting vehicles, improved traffic management, and emission controls in industries, power plants, and brick kilns to help mitigate air pollution in the capital, according to the official.

Efforts to restore power commenced immediately, with the Azura power station playing a crucial role in initiating the black start process.
Despite reaching advanced recovery stages by 10:24 AM today, TCN encountered a minor setback temporarily hindering progress.
"The slight setback notwithstanding, TCN continued with the grid recovery process, which has reached an advanced stage," the company stated, ensuring bulk power availability to approximately 90% of its substations nationwide.
Power restored in Abuja axis
Power supply has been successfully restored to critical areas, including the Abuja axis and other major distribution load centres across the country.
Notably, the Ibom Gas generating station remained unaffected by the disturbance, maintaining its supply to regions in the South-South, including Eket, Ekim, Uyo, and the Itu 132kV transmission substations.
Looking ahead, TCN plans to thoroughly investigate the cause of the incident once the grid is fully restored.
"Investigation into the cause of the incident will be carried out as soon as the grid is fully restored," assured Ndidi Mbah, GM of Public Affairs.
The ongoing efforts highlight TCN's commitment to maintaining stability in Nigeria's power supply system, even amid challenges. | https://www.pulse.ng/news/tcn-issues-fresh-update-on-national-grid-collapse/eq5nvt1 | 2024-10-15T18:13:55Z |
We're back again with another College Football Week 8 betting prediction and pick as we head to the American Conference for this upcoming tilt. The East Carolina Pirates (3-3) will take on the No. 23-ranked Army Black Knights (6-0) in a competitive tilt. It is time to continue our college football odds series with an East Carolina-Army prediction and pick.
The East Carolina Pirates are 1-1 in the American Conference following their most recent 55-24 loss against Charlotte. They own a conference win over UTSA in the game prior, but they'd like to improve their stock heading into this week where they have a chance to knock off the leading team in the American.
The Army Black Knights are 6-0 to start their season for the first time since 1996. They most recently took down UAB to the tune of 44-10, marking their third straight game with at least 40 points and beating their opponent by double-digits. As the stern betting favorites in this matchup, they'll look to get the job done and continue their success.
Here are the East Carolina-Army College Football odds, courtesy of FanDuel.

Why East Carolina Could Cover The Spread/Win
East Carolina will be looking to bounce back after a tough game on defense against Charlotte in which the Pirates allowed 311 rushing yards and six touchdowns on the ground. Considering they'll be facing another run-heavy team in Army, East Carolina will have to figure things out on their defensive front in order to offer some resistance against the run. Quarterback Jake Garcia has eight passing touchdowns on the season, but he's already thrown for 12 interceptions and the Pirates won't be able to sustain their drives if they continue to turn the ball over.
East Carolina can find success throughout this game if they focus on the rushing attack themselves. They have two very capable ball carriers in Senior Rahjai Harris and Freshman London Montgomery. The pair has combined for 516 yards and four touchdowns on the ground this season, both breaking off a number of long runs in respective performances. In order to relieve some pressure off of their quarterback, the ECU offensive line will be crucial to their success in opening up holes for the running backs.
Why Army Could Cover The Spread/Win
The Army Black Knights are having their best season of the last two decades and finally see themselves among the top 25 teams in the country. Much of their success can be attributed to QB Bryson Daily who's thrown for six touchdowns and no interceptions on the season. More impressively, he leads the team in rushing with 738 yards and a whopping 14 touchdowns, more than most rushing tandems in the American Athletic Conference. The team will go as far as he'll take them and it's apparent they've found their motivational leader on this team.
During their win over UAB last week, the Black Knights attempted just seven passes for three completions. On the flip side, they rushed the ball 56 times for a total of 413 yards and five touchdowns. Given their opponents' struggles in stopping the run, we wouldn't be surprised to see another rush-heavy attack as it's been working for them all year so far. Expect them to play fast as they've scored 40+ points in their last three consecutive outings.
Final East Carolina-Army Prediction & Pick
We'll have another exciting tilt in the American Athletic Conference as the Pirates of East Carolina try their hand at upsetting the No. 23 team in the nation with Army. East Carolina has had their ups-and-downs this season, struggling with turnovers and mounting sustainable offensive drives throughout the course of a game. Army, on the other hand, will come into this contest with arguably the most lopsided rushing attack in the country up to this point.
The main focal point for East Carolina having any chance at this upset will be to key in on the Black Knights' Quarterback in Bryson Daily. He's a downhill runner and he's having success thanks to the impressive performances from his offensive line. If Army can get him going early and bowling into defenders, it'll only be a matter of time before this Army offense will start to test the will of the Pirates' defense.
For our final prediction, we have to roll with the hot hand and side with the Army Black Knights in this one. What they did against UAB was truly an impressive performance and given East Carolina's recent struggles against the run, I think the Black Knights are in for another blowout.

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) We are committed to ensuring that the discussions remain focused on national issues, not partisan politics.
Lahore, Pakistan, Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Following the“National Dialogue on Pakistan's Permacrisis” event held yesterday at the Governor House Lahore, Oxford Alumni Pakistan announced their opposition to the use of Oxford's name for Political gains.
The Oxford Alumni Community of Pakistan is conducting a National Dialogue on Pakistan's Permacrisis , an initiative that has so far been held in Peshawar, Quetta and Lahore. These dialogues have been attended by a diverse group of participants, including members of political parties, parliamentarians, academia, civil society, the armed forces, journalists, the judiciary, bureaucracy, religious leaders, youth and business community from across Pakistan.
The participation of representatives from all political parties highlights our commitment to ensuring that the discussions remain focused on national issues, not partisan politics. The National Dialogue focuses on solutions to the pressing issues faced by the nation and we strategically remain passive on political matters.
Regarding the concerning media reports, we categorically deny any claim suggesting that as a forum, we support or oppose any specific candidate in the Chancellor Elections. We have not issued any statements endorsing any candidate. The statements circulating in the media are not representative of our collective voice and we emphasise that no such public endorsements or oppositions have been made concerning any candidate.
We believe that the University of Oxford, with its centuries old tradition of excellence, has well established systems in place to manage the Chancellor Elections impartially, in accordance with its rules and regulations.
The Oxford Alumni Community of Pakistan comprises individuals from diverse backgrounds and political ideologies. The decision to vote in the Chancellor Elections is a matter for Oxford's current students, registered and eligible alumni and faculty members, and falls beyond the scope of the National Dialogue team and its mission.
As proud alumni of this esteemed institution, we believe that the university remains a place where intellectual rigour and values prosper and we want to infuse that into Pakistan. We have confidence that the University of Oxford will manage the Chancellor Election process with fairness, independence, integrity and in adherence to its guiding principles.
We remain committed to upholding the values that University of Oxford represents and we ask to respect the impartiality of this prestigious institution and its alumni forums.

Welcome to Week 7, friends! We're officially through (at least) half of the regular fantasy football season which means crunch time for your lineups. Luckily, the scheduling gods offered us a lighter slate of bye weeks this go-around, with just the Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears on bye, meaning we should have the bulk of our starting lineups in place ... barring injury, of course.
There are plenty of interesting games on the slate this week, but expect everyone's eyes to be on the showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers — a matchup of Super Bowls LIV and LVIII, each of them games where MVP QB Patrick Mahomes emerged victorious. Brock Purdy will face Andy Reid's Chiefs coming off a bye — an area where the Chiefs have had success historically — but there's no doubt that the Niners have the better personnel on offense to set their QB up for success.
That's certainly been reflected in their fantasy football value this year, as Purdy has had two games of 24+ fantasy points this year, while Mahomes seeks his first game of more than 18 points through his first five games.
Will Chiefs-49ers be the fantasy-scoring bonanza we all hope it will be? To help you make your lineup decisions, our fantasy experts have ranked their top plays at each position in their Week 7 fantasy football rankings for half-PPR scoring formats:
Good luck with your Week 7 matchups! | https://www.k923orlando.com/news/national/fantasy-football/A3725AFWSDNOFJSZYTVOHPSW4I/ | 2024-10-15T18:13:56Z |

The group's deputy leader, Naim Qassem, said the only solution was a ceasefire

Lebanese group Hezbollah threatened Tuesday to attack targets across Israel and said it would not be defeated by ongoing intense bombardment of its strongholds and leadership.
The group's deputy leader Naim Qassem said the only solution was a ceasefire.
"I am telling the Israeli home front: the solution is a ceasefire," he said in a speech broadcast live.
In another day of fighting, the Iran-backed group said it launched a barrage of rockets towards the northern Israeli city of Haifa and targeted Israeli bulldozers and a tank near the border.
Stay up to date with the latest news. Follow KT on WhatsApp Channels.
Israel responded with fresh air strikes around Lebanon, a day after an estimated 41 people were killed in attacks on the country, according to Lebanon's health ministry.
In his speech, Qassem vowed that the group "will not be defeated" and would begin widening the scope of its targets inside Israel.
"Since the Israeli enemy targeted all of Lebanon, we have the right from a defensive position to target any place" in Israel, he said.
Only after a ceasefire would residents of northern Israel be able to return home, he said, referring to Israel's stated war aim.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday told French President Emmanuel Macron he opposed any "unilateral ceasefire, which does not change the security situation in Lebanon".
Iran, which supports Hezbollah, has in recent days engaged in diplomatic talks around establishing ceasefires in Lebanon and war-battered Gaza amid growing fears of a broader regional conflict.
Lebanon's Prime Minister Najib Mikati told AFP that his country was ready to bolster its military presence in the south after any ceasefire, adding that Israeli troops were making brief cross-border incursions.
Security has been tightened in the country's only airport in Beirut "to remove any pretexts" for an Israeli attack, Mikati added.
Israel dramatically escalated its air campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon from September 23 and then launched a ground invasion a week later intended to push the group back from its northern border.
Hezbollah has been firing thousands of projectiles into Israel over the last year in support of Hamas, displacing tens of thousands of Israelis.
Israel's military targeted several areas in southern and eastern Lebanon on Tuesday, including in the Bekaa Valley where a hospital in Baalbek city was put out of service, Lebanon's official National News Agency reported.
An Israeli strike on the northern, Christian-majority village of Aito on Monday killed 21 people, mostly women and children, according to a revised toll from the Lebanese health ministry.
The UN rights office called for a "prompt, independent and thorough investigation" of the strike which levelled a residential building reportedly being used by displaced people.
At least 1,356 people have been killed in Lebanon since Israel escalated its bombing last month, according to an AFP tally of Lebanese health ministry figures, though the real toll is likely higher.
The war in Lebanon, which has suffered years of economic crisis, has displaced at least 690,000 people, according to figures from the International Organization for Migration.
Israel is also weighing how to respond to Iran's decision to launch about 200 missiles at the country on October 1.
Netanyahu's office said that Israel — and not its top ally the US — would decide how to strike back.
"We listen to the opinions of the United States, but we will make our final decisions based on our national interest," it said in a statement on Tuesday.
The Iranian barrage was in retaliation for an Israeli strike in Lebanon's Beirut that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Iranian general Abbas Nilforoushan on September 27.
US President Joe Biden — whose government is Israel's top arms supplier — has warned Israel against striking Iran's nuclear or oil facilities.
According to a Washington Post report on Monday citing unnamed US officials, Netanyahu reassured the White House that Israel was only contemplating targeting military sites.

Justice M. O. Idowu, presiding over the case (suit no: ID/8584/GCM/2024), also fined Otse ₦500 million for libel and instructed him to compensate the Falanas for damages.
The court's decision followed a series of posts made by Otse on September 24, 2024, in which he linked the Falanas to controversial Nigerian personality Bobrisky.
Justice Idowu stated that the comments were "defamatory and injurious" to Falana and his son's public reputations.
According to the applicants, the court noted, "the defendant knew these statements were false and untrue but proceeded to publish them to injure their reputation."
Falana and Falz argued that the claims had no basis in truth and were created to tarnish their standing.
Dawodu, speaking for the applicants, noted that VeryDarkMan's allegations remained highly visible on his social media platforms, thereby "continuing the injury to their reputation as long as the publication remains online."
The judgment emphasised the need for prompt removal of defamatory posts to prevent further reputational harm, making this a landmark ruling in Nigeria's fight against online defamation. | https://www.pulse.ng/news/vdm-fined-naira500m-ordered-to-withdraw-defamatory-statements-against-falana/2q8q1gd | 2024-10-15T18:14:01Z |
Preseason prognostications bring out plenty of emotions and it's not just limited to the fans. For instance, the Memphis Grizzlies are getting defensive about their Western Conference chances this season. Grizzlies star Ja Morant could not believe the NBA's GM put him on the league's breakout lists. Morant is already an established All-Star who led the Grizzlies to a top-four seed and a postseason run. There is room for some shock-the-world growth from one homegrown talent though.
Curiosity will bring in customers to see Zach Edey. Scotty Pippen Jr. is better poised for a breakout than Morant, who will be the focus of scouting reports all season. The son of a Hall-of-Famer, Pippen Jr.'s opportunity with the Grizzlies is unique. Marcus Smart's deployment as a two-guard and Derrick Rose's retirement has pushed the 23-year-old up the depth chart. Right behind Morant in fact, if Pippen Jr. can handle the pressure.
Pippen Jr. has already shown glimpses of his potential during the preseason and Summer League action. He led all players in assists (6) in the opener against the Dallas Mavericks. Adding 12 points, two rebounds, and going 2-for-2 from three-point range was promising as well. The five turnovers, not so much.
The Grizzlies got nine points, five assists, and four rebounds from Pippen Jr. in the preseason home opener. He had another nine points and five assists against the Indiana Pacers. That is about all Taylor Jenkins needs in 20 minutes of action leading the reserves.
Pippen Jr. averaged 12.9 points, 4.7 assists, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.7 steals per game with Memphis last season. Hitting over 40% from beyond the arc will keep Pippen Jr. in an NBA rotation. The Grizzlies are good enough to blow out more than a few teams this season. That will give the reserve point guard plenty of time to pad stats.
Two-way contracts have a 50-game threshold. Fans can expect the Grizzlies to give Pippen Jr. a fully guaranteed deal before the NBA All-Star break. Grizzlies general manager Zach Kleiman has been planning on it.
“We’ll see where things shake out, in terms of who’s in what role as we kick the season off,” explained Kleiman. “But Scotty is someone who we have real confidence in playing a role.”
Grizzlies defensive about Scotty Pippen Jr.'s potential
Defense is another area where Pippen Jr. excels. His 1.7 steals per game highlight his ability to disrupt opposing offenses and create transition opportunities for his team. Pippen Jr.'s points and free throw attempts depend on those easy buckets. A never-ending defensive tenacity will be crucial for the Grizzlies in the Western Conference race.
Just don't ask Pippen Jr. about filling a Hall of Famer's shoes. That is not how he sees the situation, as told to Clutch Points.
“Growing up I used to always go to Chicago Bulls games and was around Derrick as a kid,” Pippen Jr. replied. “I feel I've been seeing him since I was 10 years old so that was a surreal feeling to play with him on the roster last season. I definitely talked to him after I heard the news of his retirement. I wouldn't say ‘filling his shoes' or anything like that. I don't really look at it that way.”
NBA fans will be looking at Pippen Jr. in a different way after a breakout season. Book it like a ticket to that Bulls visit to Memphis on October 28. | https://clutchpoints.com/grizzlies-player-who-will-shock-nba-breakout-2024-25-season | 2024-10-15T18:14:01Z |

Cloudflare NET shares have gained 12.6% in the year-to-date (YTD) period. However, NET stock has underperformed the Zacks Internet Software industry, Zacks Computer and Technology sector and the S&P 500 index’s return of 26.3%, 26.9% and 22.9%, respectively, YTD.
Given this underperformance, investors are wondering whether this slow growth in stock price reflects underlying weaknesses, or is it a temporary stagnation that offers a buying opportunity.
Sluggish Growth Hurts Cloudflare Stock’s Performance
NET stock’s underperformance can be attributed to the company’s decelerating growth, which has raised concerns about its near-term prospects. Notably, Cloudflare has experienced impressive growth since its IPO in 2019. However, recent quarterly reports indicate a slowdown. The company's revenue growth, while still robust, is not as explosive as in previous years.
Cloudflare enjoyed nearly 50% year-over-year top-line growth until 2022. However, the growth rate decelerated to 33% in 2023. Current estimates for 2024 and 2025 suggest further deceleration to around 27%.
Similarly, Cloudflare has seen tremendous improvement in its bottom-line results over the past few years, turning profitable on a non-GAAP basis in 2022 and registering a robust 272% increase in 2023. However, earnings growth for 2024 and 2025 is projected to be around 45% and 18%, respectively.
Going ahead, near-term prospects might be hurt by softening IT spending as enterprises postpone large tech investments due to macroeconomic uncertainties and geopolitical issues. This makes the company's near-term prospects appear cautious.

Cloudflare’s Elevated Valuation Raises Concerns
Cloudflare appears overvalued from a price-to-earnings (P/E) perspective. The stock is currently trading at a forward 12-month P/E ratio of 116.13X, significantly higher than the Zacks Internet - Software industry average of 35.41X. This premium valuation raises concerns about the stock’s sustainability, signaling potential downward risk.
Though slowing growth and stretched valuation remain concerns, it's not all gloom and doom for Cloudflare. The company’s robust market position and sustained focus on expanding its presence in the AI market offer significant long-term growth opportunities.
Cloudflare’s Robust Market Position Aids Customer Growth
Cloudflare has built a solid reputation for its innovative solutions in content delivery, Internet security and edge computing. The company's mission to build a better Internet has resonated with a wide range of customers from small businesses to large enterprises.
Its extensive global network, combined with a strong focus on performance and security, has been driving customer growth. In its most recent earnings report for the second quarter of 2024, Cloudflare’s total paying customer base soared 21% year over year to 210,200.
NET added 168 new customers who contributed more than $100,000 in annual revenues during the quarter, bringing the total count of such customers to 3,050. This growth is supported by a high net retention rate, indicating strong customer loyalty and the ability to upsell additional services.
Expansion in AI Space to Drive NET's Growth
Cloudflare has been expanding in the artificial intelligence (AI) space by launching innovative products. So far this year, NET has launched security products for AI, including Firewall for AI and Defensive AI. Firewall for AI protects Large Language Models from cyberattacks by providing a security layer. Defensive AI protects devices exposed to the Internet from AI-based cyberattacks.
Cloudflare has also expanded in the AI space through partnerships with Hugging Face Hub, CrowdStrike CRWD, Microsoft MSFT and NVIDIA NVDA. Cloudflare’s collaboration with Hugging Face enabled developers with the capacity to develop AI applications on NET’s global network with just one click from Hugging Face.
NET’s collaboration with CRWD combined Cloudflare’s Zero Trust protection and CrowdStrike’s AI-powered cybersecurity solutions to prevent breaches on a large scale. Cloudflare has also partnered with many other industry leaders in 2024 to expand its expertise beyond AI.
Cloudflare’s collaboration with Microsoft was focused on allowing enterprise customers to deploy AI models across devices, network edges and cloud environments by utilizing ONNX runtime. In 2023, NET also announced its plan to use NVDA’s GPUs and Ethernet switches in its global network to bring AI close to its users.
What Should Investors Do?
Although Cloudflare’s strong market position and expansion in the AI market are encouraging, high valuation warrant caution. The company's slowing growth rates and macroeconomic uncertainties pose near-term risks.
Keeping these factors in mind we suggest investors to wait for a better entry time in this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Key Takeaways
- Free streaming services like Tubi offer over 20k titles, making it a great choice for on-demand content.
- Other options like Pluto TV, Freevee, and The Roku Channel provide various content categories and original programming.
- Explore different free platforms as alternatives to paid services for movies, TV shows, and live channels.
Why pay for something when you can get it for free? That's just a lesson in capitalism. Well, perhaps the version that you can get for free isn't worth having. That isn't the case when it comes to free streaming services. These days, there are a ton of options for watching content for free. You can watch clips of shows on YouTube for free. But you aren't really going to be able to sit and watch all the content that you want on the website. There's the ability to get a smart TV antenna and hook it up to your TV to get local channels as well as select broadcast cable networks.
Some antennae work better than others though, and your house may not be near a broadcast tower, making it harder for a lot of channels to come in clearly. If you have a smart TV, you can download different apps to stream free content through certain streaming platforms. There are countless free streamers that give you access to top content with movies and TV series available through just a few clicks. Whether you're using Apple TV 4K , Roku , Fire TV Stick , Chromecast , or the operating system built into your TV, you have the option to stream on so many platforms.
But what if you're searching for a wide range of content? Or you're looking for specific shows that you want to watch? Different streamers offer different kinds of content. If you want to watch something that has a lot to offer, there are a few different ones that you should consider. Here's more on the free streaming platforms built with large content libraries.
Which free streaming service has the most content to watch?
One of the platforms stands above the rest
In terms of free content, you can start with Tubi. This is a platform that, while it doesn't have the most up-to-date movies and TV series, it sure does have a lot of movies and TV series to choose from. There are over 20,000 titles that you are able to stream. There aren't any live channels that you can choose from, so you don't want to come to Tubi if you want to watch something that's on right now.
But what you do want to come to Tubi for is an easy way to watch different shows and movies on demand. You can spend hours scrolling through all the options on its platform. Tubi separates them into categories, making it easier to squash your hunger if you know you want to watch a comedy or horror movie but don't know which one. Tubi also shows you which titles it has recently added to its streamer, so you can keep up on what is available to stream.
Tubi is a smart choice for anyone looking to endlessly scroll through different titles before selecting one.
It even has a Not on Netflix category to potentially sway you to stay on its free platform. The interface is simple to navigate and the library is deep. Tubi is a smart choice for anyone looking to endlessly scroll through different titles before selecting one.
Free streaming service Tubi surpassed Disney+, Peacock, and Paramount+ in May
Tubi, the free-with-ads streaming service, has beat titans such as Disney+ and Max for average viewership in May. And it may just be the beginning.
How much content do other free streaming services have?
There's plenty to go around
If you have tried Tubi and you realize it's not what you're looking for, there are more free streamers you can choose from. Pluto TV is a good choice that provides you with a completely different setup than Tubi. Pluto TV does have an extensive on-demand library and also have a channel guide with over 250 channels. It markets itself as a streaming platform with "free 100s of TV channels and 1,000s of movies." The channels are either category-based like Pluto Crime movies or they are specific to a show or network like CBS Exclusives or The Walking Dead Universe. Pluto TV Kids also has 25 TV channels with just children's content.
Freevee and The Roku Channel are other free streamers with their own perks. Freevee is owned by Amazon and offers both older TV series and movies as well as new original programming. It is an excellent spinoff streaming service to Prime Video, which has arguably the deepest lineup of content in all of paid streaming services with over 18,000 titles. The Roku Channel is another popular free streaming service that is automatically installed on Roku devices but can be downloaded to other devices. It has original content as well as over 350 channels, which include local channels, sports, and more.
The Roku Channel changes its content selection frequently, so you should keep an eye on what is available.
Other free streaming services include:
- Plex
- Fandango at Home
- Crackle
- Kanopy
- Xumo

The following is an excerpt from the latest edition of Yahoo's fantasy football newsletter, Get to the Points! If you like what you see, you can subscribe for free here.
Fantasy managers will spend the next 24 hours working the waiver wire, but that's obviously just part of the process. In most instances, you also have to make a corresponding drop. And we'd like to help you make those difficult cuts.
Most fantasy advice will never be one size fits all, and that's especially true for a cut list. You need to apply this to your situation and the context of your league. A nifty stash in one league could be a see-you-later player in a different room. And remember, if you never make a regretful cut during the season, you're probably playing far too conservatively.
Isaiah Likely, TE, Ravens (59% rostered)
I have a few fantasy shares of Likely, and I'm not eager to give them up. But we have to accept that he's merely a contingency-value stash at tight end these days, not someone you can play. He has just nine catches since the blowup season opener. Unless Mark Andrews gets hurt, Likely can't be trusted in lineups. And in the teeth of bye season, that might make him a drop now.
Dontayvion Wicks, WR, Packers (47% rostered)
You used good process when you added Wicks, but he didn't come through in his last two opportunities, and now the receiving room is healing up. The Packers also have two talented backs and a tight end of note. Wicks is also dealing with a shoulder injury, giving him week-to-week status. In most formats, it's not worth the wait.
Trey Sermon, RB, Colts (48% rostered)
Jonathan Taylor probably isn't long off, even if he can't play in Week 7. But Sermon has a more immediate issue — Tyler Goodson is clearly outplaying him. Surely this isn't lost on the Indianapolis coaching staff.
Antonio Gibson, RB, Patriots (49% rostered)
He flopped in his starting opportunity last week (13 carries, 19 yards) and the Patriots will go back to Rhamondre Stevenson when healthy, no matter how much he fumbles. And some of New England's rushing production will also be distributed to athletic and resourceful rookie QB Drake Maye.
Jerome Ford, RB, Browns (73% rostered)
He's dealing with a balky hamstring, the offense is shipwrecked by poor blocking and QB play, and Nick Chubb might return this week. Ford was a fantasy dud most of the year, and while much of it wasn't his fault, he has a capped ceiling.
Daniel Jones, QB, Giants (21% rostered)
He made sense as a Week 6 sleeper, even though his home/road splits are starting to become too large to ignore (Jones, for some reason, plays poorly in New Jersey). It's a home date against Philly this week, and then a trip to Pittsburgh. Even with Malik Nabers expected back, we hope you have a better QB option to navigate the bye weeks. | https://www.k923orlando.com/news/national/fantasy-football/FC4M6YSYJ5WC6BJCO3H3DEJPM4/ | 2024-10-15T18:14:04Z |
Country at intersection of Eastern Europe and West Asia is introducing a national learning management system for its 600,000 K-12 learners
RICHMOND HILL, ON, Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Edsby®, an innovative vendor of K-12 education software, has been selected by the Ministry of Education, Science and Youth of the country of Georgia as the winning vendor for a national learning management system (LMS) initiative. The project seeks to transform education across the country through the implementation of advanced digital learning.
The contract for Learning Systems Solutions and Support is part of Georgia's I2Q initiative, a six-year, multifaceted education reform supported in part by the World Bank.
Edsby's selection follows a rigorous international Quality-Based Selection (QBS) process. Edsby was awarded the contract with local Georgia technology integrator partner Orient Logic.
Edsby, a leading K-12 social learning platform, is to be piloted beginning next year across Georgian public schools to support localized, flexible curriculum, interactive teaching methodologies, and active learning pedagogies. The platform is ultimately to provide a national system for teachers, students, and parents to engage in blended learning, with support for synchronous, asynchronous, and activity-based learning paths.
"We are pleased to collaborate with the Georgian Ministry of Education, Science, and Youth and Orient Logic on this high impact project," said John Myers, CEO of Edsby. "The I2Q initiative aligns perfectly with Edsby's mission to empower educators, students and parents with cutting-edge learning technologies. Our platform will enhance Georgia's educational landscape by providing a flexible, scalable, and engaging system that fosters a culture of lifelong learning."
"This project represents an exciting step forward in transforming education in our country. In partnering with Edsby, we are equipping our students, parents and teachers with world class tools to thrive in the 21st century," said Alexander Bagratia, CEO of Orient Logic. "This new national LMS is to enable personalized learning pathways and provide robust support for educators and families. We look forward to the positive impact on our students' education."
Georgia's I2Q project focuses on improving educational outcomes, promoting inclusion, and fostering innovation. I2Q aims to foster quality teaching and learning in Georgian schools and includes a focus on localized, student-centered curricula. The implementation of the Edsby LMS will support Georgia's strategic objectives of raising educational standards, creating equitable access to quality education, and preparing students for future success.
When fully deployed, the national Georgian learning management system will be comparable in size to Edsby's contract with the New Zealand Ministry of Education, another national deployment of Edsby to 800,000 K-12 learners and their parents, and the country's educators.
About Edsby
The unique needs of K-12 education are hard to meet with conventional technologies. Edsby's innovative software systems have been putting the connections between people, not just documents, at the center of K-12 worldwide since 2010.

Speaking at the 30th Nigeria Economic Summit, hosted by the Nigeria Economic Summit Group (NESG) on Tuesday, October 15, Edun emphasised the government's focus on agriculture, manufacturing, oil, and housing as vital drivers of Nigeria's economy.
Edun highlighted the administration's intent to tackle poverty by enhancing agricultural productivity and food security, which is essential to lowering the high inflation rate burdening many Nigerians.
"We are looking to food production to help bring down inflation," he explained. "Our aim is to make food more available, affordable, and to reduce the cost of living for Nigerians."
FG, AfDB partnership
He added that to support this effort, the government is partnering with the African Development Bank (AfDB) to establish agricultural processing zones, which will provide a robust supply of raw materials for domestic industries.
The minister also discussed the government's approach to the oil and gas sector, emphasising its critical role in generating foreign exchange.
Edun revealed that recent reforms have attracted significant investments, including an additional $10 million from ExxonMobil and other key industry players.
"The oil sector is our first avenue for foreign exchange and global revenue," he stated, expressing optimism about sustained contributions from local and foreign investors alike.
Reform in manufacturing sector
Edun explained that manufacturing is also set to benefit from new tax incentives and cheaper funding. These policies, he said, are designed to cut operational costs and increase job opportunities within the sector.
"We're offering specific incentives, including excise tax and withholding tax reliefs, to stimulate the manufacturing sector," Edun noted.
These measures, according to him, have encouraged Nigerian manufacturers to commit up to $4.2 billion in investments, boosting the country's economic prospects.
FG's new mortgage scheme
The government is also set to address housing affordability, launching a mortgage scheme offering near-single-digit interest rates on loans spanning up to 25 years.
According to Edun, this initiative aims to "spark a construction boom" by increasing access to affordable housing, a critical area for job creation and economic growth.
"In partnership with the private sector, we're delivering mortgages that will support Nigeria's housing and real estate sector," he affirmed.
Edun asserted that this comprehensive plan underscores Nigeria's renewed commitment to economic stability and inclusive growth, with "growth and jobs" as the ultimate objectives for a sustainable future. | https://www.pulse.ng/news/wale-edun-announces-new-scheme-to-control-inflation-agricultural-boom/kqete71 | 2024-10-15T18:14:07Z |
New Delhi: The Supreme Court Tuesday questioned the West Bengal government over hiring of civic volunteers in the state and sought data regarding their recruitment and appointment process.
A bench of Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud and Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra called the process of hiring as a means of granting “political patronage” to unverified people.
The top court, as a result, directed the state government to furnish details on the legal source of authority for recruitment, modalities, qualification, verifications, institutions the civic volunteers are assigned duties in and the payments made to them.
The apex court was hearing a suo motu case related to the rape and murder of a doctor at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata.
The top court further directed the state government to enlist steps ensuring these volunteers were not posted at sensitive establishments such as hospitals and schools.
The top court was informed that Sanjay Roy, an accused in the rape and the murder of the Kolkata doctor was a civic police volunteer and had unrestricted access to the hospital building.
Senior advocate Karuna Nundy, appearing for a doctors’ association, submitted that the state government had doubled the recruitment of civic volunteers which was a violation of a Calcutta High Court order disallowing them from discharging any law and order functions.
Nundy stated that over 1,500 such volunteers were working in the state and sought setting aside of the “Rattirer Sathi” programme that aimed to protect women working in night shifts.
Advocate Vrinda Grover, appearing for the victim’s kin, said the main accused in the case was recruited as a civic volunteer despite facing criminal cases of domestic violence.
“Who recruits these civic volunteers? We need to know what are these qualifications. We need to know that such volunteers do not operate in hospitals, schools that are sensitive in nature…Otherwise this a nice process of conferring political patronage on people who are totally unverified”,” the top court told senior advocate Rakesh Dwivedi, representing the West Bengal government.
Dwivedi, informed the bench that the security staff at the hospitals were now being recruited according to the Private Security Agencies (Regulation) Act 2005, akin to the rest of country.
During the hearing, Solicitor General of India Tushar Mehta, representing the CBI, submitted the fifth status report of the agency and informed that the investigation in the Kolkata rape and murder case was being carried out with “utmost seriousness”.
The top court observed that the CBI report indicated that the agency was probing the role of other persons as a part of its ongoing investigation and sought a further status report within three weeks.
On the issue of the National Task Force (NTF), constituted to make recommendations over the safety and security of medical professionals, the apex court noted that it had held no meeting since the first week of September. The apex court, therefore, directed the Centre to take proactive steps to ensure that the work was completed within a reasonable period of time.
The top court noted that the West Bengal government had sanctioned a Rs 123-crore budget towards installation of CCTV cameras and other measures.
It also took on record Dwivedi’s assurance of completing the shortfall in the installations in about 28 medial colleges by October 25 and in R G Kar Hospital by October 31, respectively.
The top court took note that a state-level committee had been set up for security audit and the deployment of an additional 1,400 security personnel, comprising 900 women, in hospitals had been carried out.
The bench posted hearing in the matter post Diwali vacations.
On September 30, the apex court had expressed dissatisfaction over the “tardy” progress made by the West Bengal government over the installation of CCTVs and construction of toilets and separate resting rooms in government medical colleges, and directed the state to complete the ongoing work by October 15.
On September 17, the top court said it was disturbed by the findings given in the CBI’s status report in the case while refusing to divulge the details and observed that any disclosure may jeopardise the ongoing investigation.

The New York Jets have had an eventful last couple of weeks. First they fired head coach Robert Saleh, then dropped a close game to the Bills on Monday Night Football. New York responded to Monday's loss by making a big trade, acquiring wide receiver Davante Adams from the Raiders. It should be no surprise that his new QB has plenty of good things to say about him.
Aaron Rodgers gushed about how excited he is to play with Davante Adams again on The Pat McAfee Show.
“I love Davante Adams and he's a phenomenal player and a dear friend,” Rodgers said. “I heard the news at about 12:45 last night.” | https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-aaron-rodgers-breaks-silence-davante-adams-trade | 2024-10-15T18:14:09Z |

Pele used a jet ski to get to the man. (Representational)
Panaji: A fisherman rescued an elderly Russian man at a beach in South Goa on Tuesday, and the video of the effort has gone viral on social media.
In the video, Francis Fernandes, popularly known as Pele, is seen rushing to help a Russian man in his late 60s as he struggled to get to the shore at Benaulim beach.
Pele used a jet ski to get to the man, who had ventured into the sea with his woman partner.
When contacted, Pele said he noticed the elderly Russian man struggling to get to the shore.
"I could save him at the right time. I pulled him onto my jet ski and returned to the shore," he said.
In the video, Pele tells the Russian couple that he respects tourists, as they are his bread and butter.
Pele runs a shack and water sports activity centre at Benaulim.
In February 2024, Pele shot into the limelight with a video of him with former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's wife, Akshata Murty, at Benaulim beach. He was seen telling Murty to take care of Goans in the UK.
The fisherman has also given a jet ski ride to cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar at Benaulim beach.

Congratulations, fantasy football managers! Fantasy's top-scoring defense is back in the mix this week as the Minnesota Vikings return from a bye, currently ranked top-three in sacks (20) while leading the NFL with 11 interceptions despite playing just five games. The bad news? They're set to face the Detroit Lions, who are allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing defenses.
Elsewhere, the Chargers will take on the Las Vegas Raiders who are without recently-traded WR Davante Adams and could be missing a number of other top receiving options with Jakobi Meyers banged up with an ankle injury and Michael Mayer out due to personal reasons. The Raiders have allowed 11 or more fantasy points in four of six games this season, including each of the last three.
Find out where the Chargers D/ST landed in our team's Week 7 defense rankings:

Arabian perfumes have been having a major moment in 2024. Not only have they become famous for producing luxurious dupes of popular designer and niche brands, but they’re also known for their intense, long-lasting fragrances at affordable prices.
Smelling Expensive Is Easy With These 7 Affordable Arabian Perfumes
Their usual house scents typically feature-rich notes of oud, incense, amber, sandalwood and so on. Arabian perfumes have captivated the hearts (and pockets) of perfume lovers everywhere.
Recommended articles
As a fragrance lover myself, I have curated a list of seven affordable Arabian fragrances that don’t break the bank. The fragrances on this list are easy to find, smell amazing and last for hours—tried, tested, and loved!
Khamrah by Lattafa
Imagine walking into a luxurious hotel lobby in a hustle and bustle metropolitan city—that’s what Khamrah smells like. This unisex oriental fragrance contains a rich blend of sweet and spicy notes like cinnamon, nutmeg, dates, praline, and vanilla, with warm notes of tonka bean and myrrh. Many perfume enthusiasts say it reminds them of cinnamon apple pie or even a boozy holiday drink, but to me, it smells like a sweet gingerbread cookie.
Something about it gives huge Christmas vibes, making it perfect for the festive season (not to say you can’t wear it all year round). Plus, it lasts a solid 8 hours, making it a perfect choice for work or formal occasions. Price: ₦45,999. Where To Buy: Shop Fragrances.com
Berries Weekend Pink Edition by Fragrance World
If the idea of smelling like candied fruit sounds like your jam, Berries Weekend is the fragrance for you. This sweet, fruity floral perfume is a hit with women who love fresh, fruity, and sweet scents. With juicy notes of tangerine, iris, and nectarine, this fragrance feels like having a picnic or walking through a garden of blooming flowers and ripe fruits. Ideal for date nights, it’s light but long-lasting.
Additionally, I often find myself going nose-blind to it, but the compliments I get from people around me prove that this fruity fragrance is still doing its things. A crowd favourite for sure. Price: ₦14,500. Where To Buy: Shop Muna Cosmetics.
Lamsat Harir by Arabiyat
Smelling like grapes might not sound as appealing as, say, the scent of vanilla or caramel, but Lamsat Harir makes it unexpectedly elegant. The combination of blackcurrant, musk, and cedar creates a fragrance that is youthful and playful, but still sophisticated and mature.
Its vibe is reminiscent of sipping a chilled glass of red wine, true to its notes of grape and blackcurrant. It is perfect for a casual day out or a cozy evening in. It’s one of those perfumes that transitions effortlessly from day to night. Price: ₦18,000. Where To Buy: Shop Lily Scent.
Qaed Al-Fursan Unlimited by Lattafa
If you’re a gourmand lover, Qaed Al-Fursan Unlimited is the fragrance of your dreams. At some point in time, Qaed Al-Fursan Unlimited became my go-to bedtime fragrance because it is so warm and cozy. Think of a creamy coconut milkshake packed with vanilla and a dash of pineapple—it’s that sweet! The subtle scent of coconut, ylang-ylang, and musk makes it not go over the edge of being sickly sweet but maintains its comfort and cozy vibe.
It’s not a fragrance that will fill the room, but it’s perfect for close encounters and intimate moments. Plus, who wouldn’t want to smell like dessert? Price: ₦23,000. Where To Buy: Shop Perfumes for Less NG.
Yara Pink by Lattafa
Do you live for sweet vanilla fragrances? Then Yara is the scent for you. Imagine a creamy strawberry milkshake in perfume form—that’s Yara Pink. It’s a simple but irresistibly sweet scent that gives off major brunch-with-the-girls vibes. Wearing it feels like wrapping yourself in pink tulle—it’s girly, playful, and unapologetically feminine.
If you want something that will have people stopping you on the street and asking what fragrance you’re wearing, Yara is it. Price: ₦30,500. Where to Buy: Shop Tos Nigeria.
Club de Nuit Woman by Afnan
If you’re looking for an affordable dupe of Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel, Club de Nuit Woman is the answer. Its name, which roughly translates to “Night Club woman,” isn’t exactly the vibe the fragrance gives off. First of all, it is a second skin scent which means it’s very soapy and clean - perfect for daytime wear. Secondly, this fragrance is very elegant and sophisticated, not exactly what you’ll find in the club.
A few sprays of this fragrance go a long way, thanks to its high oil concentration, but be warned—too much can be overwhelming! Price: ₦53,000. Where to Buy: The Scent Store.

New Delhi: Telecom Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia Tuesday rejected service providers’ demand to auction satcom spectrum but made it clear that radiowaves will come with a cost even if assigned without auction for satellite-based communications services.
Earlier in the day, Bharti Airtel founder and chairman Sunil Bharti Mittal joined rival firm Reliance Jio in demanding allocation of spectrum for satcom services in the same manner as it is allocated to telecom players.
“The Telecom Act 2023 which was passed in December of last year has very clearly put this in Schedule 1 which means that satcom spectrum will be allocated administratively. That does not mean that spectrum comes without a cost. “ What that cost is and what the formula of that cost is going to be will not be decided by you and me but it will be decided by Trai,” Scindia said at India Mobile Congress.
He was responding to a question on telecom operators’ demand to allocate spectrum to satcom players through the auction route.
“We have a regulatory authority for telecom and that regulatory authority has been empowered by the constitution to determine what that administrative pricing is going to be? I am very confident that they will come up with the best pricing that should be adopted provided that it is being given in an administrative manner,” Scindia said.
On September 27, 2024, Trai floated a consultation process to explore methodology and price for assigning spectrum to satellite companies to provide calling, messaging, broadband and other services in the country.
Reliance Jio last week sought Scindia’s intervention to get regulator Trai issue a revised consultation paper on a proposed spectrum allocation rule to ensure a level-playing field between terrestrial and satellite players.
Jio in its letter to Scindia last week, referred to the Supreme Court’s judgement in 2G case and indicated that Trai’s failure to incorporate questions on level-playing field may lead to legal tussles.
Reliance Jio, in the letter dated October 10, mentioned that satellite communication companies such Elon Musk’s Starlink, Amazon’s Kupier, Bharti Group-backed OneWeb Eutelsat, and SES-Jio joint venture have expressed interest to provide their services in India, which will directly compete with land based mobile networks, and therefore a fair and transparent auction system for satellite services is essential to ensure level competition.
Mittal at the inaugural ceremony of India Mobile Congress and ITU’s World Telecommunication Standardisation Assembly by Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that satellite companies interested in providing communication services in urban areas will need to buy spectrum like telecom companies.
“Those satellite companies who have ambitions to come into urban areas serving retail customers just need to take the telecom licenses like everybody else and be bound to the same conditions. They need to buy the spectrum as the telecom companies buy,” Mittal said.
Mittal’s Bharti Enterprise is the single-largest stakeholder in satcom services firm OneWeb and he earlier favoured administrative allocation of spectrum for satcom services.
Later Airtel issued a statement in which it said that the company has always maintained that it will use all technologies including satcom to ensure that every nook and corner of the country is covered for high-speed broadband connectivity.
“This position remains consistent. Airtel has tied up with Eutelsat OneWeb, which has a LEO constellation, only the second one in the world, through which it proposes to provide satcom services in India and Africa.
“Satellite operators who want to provide services to urban areas and retail customers indeed need to go through the regular licensing process of any country, and in this case, India, to obtain a license; buy the spectrum; undertake all the obligations, including rollout and security; pay their license fees and taxes and they would be welcomed by the telecom fraternity,” Airtel said.
Airtel said that mobile operators and satcom operators who have worked in harmony for decades can continue to do so to serve those who are still struggling to find internet connectivity.
Scindia said that satellite spectrum across the world is allocated administratively.
“India is not doing anything different from the rest of the world. Conversely, if you do decide to auction then you are doing something which is different from the rest of the world.
“Satellite spectrum is a very high level of spectrum beyond 7-8 Ghz is shared spectrum. If spectrum is shared then how can you price it individually? I think there are a number of issues that go into decision making which is why globally all countries of the world are following a certain model and India is doing pretty much the same,” the minister said.

The New York Jets made a blockbuster trade with the Las Vegas Raiders on Tuesday morning, reuniting quarterback Aaron Rodgers with his former Green Bay Packers teammate Davante Adams. The Adams trade signals a full on panic mode in New York after the Jets' Monday Night Football loss to the Buffalo Bills, one that dropped their record to 2-4 on the young 2024 season.
New York's offense, although not terrible on Monday evening, has largely been a disappointment so far this season in Rodgers' first real year at the helm after playing just a few snaps in 2023. In fact, a recently unearthed stat from NFL insider Dov Kleivman revealed that there has been exactly no improvement by the team from this year to last year on that end of the field.
Through six weeks in 2023 under quarterback Zach Wilson, the Jets had mustered a total of 113 points. Their count after six weeks in 2024? The exact same number: 113.
While certain factors like the rain-soaked conditions they played in vs the Denver Broncos as well as the strength of their opponents' defenses certainly play a role in the statistic, it's still a nice encapsulation of the frustration that Jets fans are feeling watching their supposed superteam falter in front of their eyes.
Can the Jets save their season?
The move to trade for Adams was a clear sign of desperation for a Jets front office that is running out of chips to push to the center of the table for this season.
New York hasn't seen the connection they were hoping to from Rodgers and wide receiver Garrett Wilson, and the quarterback threw yet another game-losing interception on Monday late in the fourth quarter vs the Bills.
Overall, Rodgers has shown flashes of his former MVP self but largely looks like a 40 year old quarterback coming off of an Achilles tear, and the Jets' offense has suffered mightily as a result.
Meanwhile, Adams remains one of the elite receivers in the league and is almost guaranteed to provide a boost to New York, especially considering the connection that he and Rodgers already have from their time in Green Bay.
In any case, things don't get any easier from here for New York, as the Jets are next slated to take the field on Sunday evening on the road vs the Pittsburgh Steelers. That game is slated to kick off at 8:20 PM ET. | https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-aaron-rodgers-vs-zach-wilson-stat-comparison-blow-your-mind | 2024-10-15T18:14:15Z |
The secretaries' letter outlined specific steps Israel must take within 30 days, including enabling a minimum of 350 trucks to enter Gaza per day, and instituting pauses in fighting to allow aid delivery
Photo: Reuters File
Israel must take steps in the next month to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza to avoid legal action involving US military aid, according to news reports and sources, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said.
"We are writing now to underscore the US government's deep concern over the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza, and seek urgent and sustained actions by your government this month to reverse this trajectory," they wrote in an October 13 letter to their Israeli counterparts, posted by the reporter of an American news website on X on Tuesday.
A reporter for an Israeli news channel first reported the contents of the letter on X. Two sources familiar with the matter confirmed the letter's veracity to Reuters.
Stay up to date with the latest news. Follow KT on WhatsApp Channels.
The State Department and Pentagon did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the letter. Representatives for Israel's government also could not be immediately reached for comment.
Washington has frequently pressed Israel to improve humanitarian conditions in Gaza since the war with Hamas began just over a year ago, but the Biden administration has not imposed restrictions on the military aid the United States sends to Israel.
The reports come as Israeli forces expand operations into northern Gaza amid ongoing concerns about access to humanitarian aid throughout the area and civilians' access to food, water and medicine.
Reuters reported earlier this month that food supplies have fallen sharply since Israeli authorities introduced a new customs rule on some humanitarian aid and are separately scaling down deliveries organised by businesses.
The United States told the UN Security Council last week that Israel needs to address urgently "catastrophic conditions" among Palestinian civilians in the besieged Gaza Strip and stop "intensifying suffering" by limiting aid deliveries.
The secretaries' letter outlined specific steps Israel must take within 30 days, including enabling a minimum of 350 trucks to enter Gaza per day, instituting pauses in fighting to allow aid delivery and rescinding evacuation orders to Palestinian civilians when there is no operational need.
"Failure to demonstrate a sustained commitment to implementing and maintaining these measures may have implications for US policy ... and relevant US law," the letter said.
It cited Section 620i of the Foreign Assistance Act, which prohibits military aid to countries that impede delivery of US humanitarian assistance.
It also cited a National Security Memorandum US President Joe Biden issued in February that requires the State Department to report to Congress on whether it finds credible Israel's assurances that its use of US weapons does not violate U.S. or international law.
US officials earlier this year said Israel may have violated international humanitarian law using US-supplied weapons during its military operation in Gaza.

Baba Siddique murder: Two of the three suspected shooters were arrested on Saturday.
Mumbai: The shooters who killed Maharashtra politician Baba Siddique relied on YouTube videos to practise shooting. Accused Gurmail Singh and Dharamaraj Kashyap - who were arrested hours after they fired six rounds at Siddique - learned to shoot by watching videos on YouTube, sources said.
The police are trying to find out about the location they used to practice at, the sources added.
The Mumbai crime branch has so far recorded the statements of more than 15 people in this case, including many witnesses. The Mumbai Police also arrested one more person today - its fourth arrest - in connection with the killing of the NCP leader, claiming that he provided money and weapons for the crime.
Harishkumar Balakram Nisad (23), from Bahraich in Uttar Pradesh, was on Tuesday remanded in police custody till October 21 by a court in Mumbai.
Accused Pravin (arrested) and Shubham Lonkar (on the run) had given Rs 2 lakh to the arrested shooters Gurmail Singh and Dharamaraj Kashyap and this money was sent through the fourth accused Harish, the police said.
Nisad worked as a scrap dealer in Warje area of Pune city, said a police official.
Gurmail Baljit Singh (23), Uttar Pradesh native Dharmaraj Rajesh Kashyap (19) - the alleged shooters - were arrested on Saturday while "co-conspirator" Pravin Lonkar was arrested yesterday.
Three accused in the case - including another suspected shooter Shiva Lumar Gautam and Shubham Lonkar - are still on the run.
Nisad and Kashyap belong to the same village as the wanted accused Gautam.
Baba Siddique (66), a former Congress leader who had joined the Nationalist Congress Party earlier this year, was shot outside his MLA son Zeeshan Siddique's office in Bandra east's Nirmal Nagar area. He was rushed to the nearby Lilavati hospital where he was declared dead.
Pravin Lonkar was accused of "enlisting" two of the three alleged shooters. The police were also verifying a purported social media post of his brother Shubham, an alleged member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, owning up to the murder of Siddique.
The police have also written to the Facebook and Instagram authorities, seeking more details about the post.
Shubham Lonkar was also picked by Mumbai Police in June this year for questioning after the firing incident outside Salman Khan's house in Mumbai in April as the Bishnoi gang's involvement was suspected.
But he was let off as no evidence was found. Still, he was kept under surveillance, but on September 24 he became untraceable.
The crime branch, meanwhile, has recovered a 7.62 mm gun from a black bag found near the crime scene. | https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/baba-siddiques-killers-relied-on-youtube-for-shooting-practice-sources-6797321 | 2024-10-15T18:14:18Z |

We've got another interesting slate of games in Week 7, but it's possible that none of them will be more interesting for a cohort of fantasy football wide receivers than the Baltimore Ravens vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Week 7 "Monday Night Football." Each of these teams has some top-tier receiving options, including Bucs WRs Chris Godwin and Mike Evans and Ravens wideout Zay Flowers.
Two of those wideouts (Godwin, Flowers) are coming off a week where they ranked top-10 in fantasy scoring, while Evans had himself a disappointing Week 6, catching just two of his six targets for 34 receiving yards.
The good news is that the sparks for Godwin and Flowers should continue with their respective matchups, and Evans will be in a bounce-back spot; both the Ravens and Buccaneers rank top-seven in fantasy scoring allowed to opposing wide receivers.
Find out where this trio landed in our team's Week 7 wide receiver rankings:

Washington: The Biden administration has warned Israel that it must increase the amount of humanitarian aid it is allowing into Gaza within the next 30 days or it could risk losing access to US weapons funding.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warned their Israeli counterparts in a letter dated Sunday that the changes must occur. The letter, which restates US policy toward humanitarian aid and arms transfers, was sent amid deteriorating conditions in northern Gaza and reports Israel had conducted a strike on a hospital tent site in central Gaza that killed at least four people.
A senior defence official said Tuesday that Blinken and Austin sent a letter to their Israeli counterparts as they saw a recent decrease in assistance reaching Gaza. The official said a similar letter sent by Blinken in April triggered a constructive response and “concrete measures from the Israelis”.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations, said the latest letter was a way to similarly address the problem.
For Israel to continue qualifying for foreign military financing, the level of aid getting into Gaza must increase to at least 350 trucks a day, Israel must institute additional humanitarian pauses and provide increased security for humanitarian sites, Austin and Blinken said. They said Israel had 30 days to respond to the different requirements.
An Israeli official confirmed a letter had been delivered but did not discuss the contents. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss a diplomatic matter, confirmed the US had raised “humanitarian concerns” and was putting pressure on Israel to speed up the flow of aid into Gaza.

As Davante Adams became the newest addition to the New York Jets, he posted to his Instagram account a simple message.
Davante Adams’ post on his Instagram story a few minutes ago… pic.twitter.com/u6VYR7O9Wm
— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) October 15, 2024
Adams seems to have pure excitement following the trade. He had some of his best seasons with quarterback Aaron Rodgers when they were on the Green Bay Packers. In his final two seasons in Green Bay, Adams became an All-Pro and solidified himself as arguably the best receiver in the league. In 2020, he had 115 receptions, 1,374 yards, and 18 touchdowns. The following year, he had 123 receptions, 1,553 yards, and 11 touchdowns.
His route running, finesse, and strong ball security made him Rodgers's top weapon. As a result, Rodgers still had a solid 2022 season but missed his top target. Adams dominated in his first season with Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr. He earned another All-Pro selection and led the league in receiving touchdowns with 14. As Carr was released by the Raiders, it left a sour taste with Adams.
He mainly went to the Raiders to play with Carr but only got to spend one season with him. The Raiders had inconsistent quarterback play, something Adams isn't accustomed to. Still, he had another 1,000-yard receiving season, all things considered.
Davante Adams will be happy with the New York Jets
The Raiders had their fair share of issues, and the Jets are no different. After the Jets fired former head coach Robert Saleh amidst a 2-3 start, the organization looked foolish. A top-5 defense in nearly every metric but they had a lackluster offense. Rodgers has wide receiver Garrett Wilson but has needed another weapon. Insert Adams, who has as good of chemistry with a quarterback as any receiver in the league.
Adams hasn't played with a top defense since leaving Green Bay. The Jets have a nice secondary, headed by Sauce Gardner. He and Adams should have plenty of battles throughout practice. Still, New York has some work to do if they want to get back to their Super Bowl expectations.
They'll need to improve their passing game. Adams improves that drastically but it can so much more. Having two elite route runners and a strong pair of hands offers more versatility in the offense. Not to mention, current Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett worked with the duo in Green Bay and helped them dominate.
That mix, along with running back Breece Hall shows legitimate signs of previous Packers teams that dominated. It's only six weeks into the season but Adams can make all the difference. There'll likely be more smiles, jokes, and a positive aura with the All-Pro making his Jets debut. | https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-davante-adams-3-second-story-after-raiders-trade | 2024-10-15T18:14:21Z |

Pakistan regularly brings up the Jammu and Kashmir issue at UN platforms.
New York: India exercised its right of reply against Pakistan at the Joint General Debate on decolonization at the United Nations on Monday. Counsellor Eldos Mathew Punnoose from India condemned Pakistan's "unsubstantiated allegations" regarding the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
He emphasised the need for Pakistan to cease its ongoing human rights violations in Pakistan-occupied Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh.
Targeting Pakistan, he said, "Unsubstantiated allegations by Pakistan largely pertain to the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. India would like to reiterate that Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh are, were and will be an integral and inalienable part of India. Clearly, Pakistan does not merit a response on the internal affairs of India."
He further said, "At this juncture, we also advise Pakistan to stop the grave and ongoing human rights violations in Pakistan-occupied Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh (PoJKL). The world is witness to the divisive activities that Pakistan tries to undertake day in and day out. India would like to stress that our foundations are built on the enduring pillar of democratic values, unlike Pakistan's."
Stepping up his criticism of Pakistan, he said that the nation is familiar with sham elections, incarceration of opposition leaders, and suppression of political voices.
"Given their tainted democratic record, Pakistan considers real democratic exercises as a sham, as reflected in their statement. All countries speak from their experience. Sham elections, incarceration of opposition leaders and suppression of political voices are what Pakistan is familiar with," Punnoos said.
"It is natural that Pakistan must be disappointed to see real democracy at work. It was only last week that election results were announced in Jammu and Kashmir. Millions of voters in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir have spoken. They exercised their right to vote and have chosen their leadership according to the Constitutional framework and universal adult suffrage. Clearly, these terms must be alien to Pakistan," he added.
He further criticised Pakistan by highlighting the country's notorious reputation for supporting terrorism and engaging in transnational crimes. "It is ironic that a country which is infamous across the globe for state-sponsored terrorism and transnational crimes cast aspersions on the world's largest democracy. It has been Pakistan's consistent state policy to employ cross-border terrorism as a weapon against its neighbours," Punnoos added.
He also said that Pakistan has been implicated in several attacks, including the attack on the Indian Parliament. "The list of attacks orchestrated by Pakistan is indeed long. In India, they have targeted our Parliament, market places and pilgrimage routes, among several others. Normal Indian citizens have been victims of such dastardly and inhumane acts by Pakistan," Punnoos said.
He also compared India and Pakistan, praising the former for its "pluralism, diversity and democracy," and highlighting the latter's "terrorism, parochialism and persecution."
Punnoos said, "India symbolises pluralism, diversity and democracy. In contrast, Pakistan reminds the world of terrorism, parochialism and persecution. Religious and ethnic minorities and their places of worship are targeted and vandalised on a regular basis. It is important for Pakistan to first look inward and set own house in order instead of meddling in the internal affairs of neighbouring countries."
He added, "Pakistan's obsession with India and their past practice corroborate that they will continue to use this august forum for spreading their malicious propaganda against my country. They will exercise their right of reply but I shall refrain from responding to it... As such, facts speak for themselves. Lies are lies, even if they are repeated over and over by Pakistan."
Meanwhile, Punnoose emphasised India's pivotal role in the global struggle against colonialism, highlighting the country's unwavering commitment to freedom.
He said, "India has been a global champion and leading voice in the struggle against colonialism. In 1962, India was also elected as the first chair of the Decolonisation Committee, a committee of 24, which was established to monitor the implementation of the 1960 Declaration on Granting of Independence to colonial countries and peoples and consider applications in this regard. Since the establishment of the Decolonisation Committee, India has been actively contributing towards its functioning. We have also been working constructively on the decolonisation agenda..."
Notably, Pakistan regularly brings up the Jammu and Kashmir issue at UN platforms and other international forums, irrespective of the agenda of the meetings.
India has repeatedly rejected Pakistan's attempts to raise the Kashmir issue on international platforms, asserting that the union territories of Jammu and Kashmir as well as Ladakh are "integral parts of India" and Pakistan has no "locus standi" to make statements regarding India's domestic matters.

The New York Jets made a big move on Tuesday morning, shaking up their roster by trading for Las Vegas Raiders star wide receiver Davante Adams. The move comes in response to the Jets falling 23-20 to the Buffalo Bills in Week 6 to fall to 2-4 on the season.
Shortly after the news was announced, Jets owner Woody Johnson spoke to the media about the trade and emphasized that New York couldn't afford to remain complacent after their disappointing start, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
“Status quo is killer,” Johnson said, per Rapoport. “You have to go with your instinct and build a culture.”
Johnson also said that he was encouraged by last night's game despite the loss and that the addition of Adams would “open things up”. His chemistry with Aaron Rodgers will certainly be a big boost for the Jets' passing game that has struggled to find reliable weapons outside of Garrett Wilson.
Adams has been dealing with a hamstring injury that has kept him out of the Raiders' last three games, but the Jets are hopeful that he can make his debut with the team on Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers. For the season, Adams has 18 catches for 209 yards and one touchdown.
Jets offense still flawed, but more explosive with Davante Adams
Despite losing to the Bills on Monday night, there were still plenty of encouraging signs for a Jets offense that had been stuck in the mud at times this season. With passing game coordinator Todd Downing calling the plays instead of offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, the Jets displayed more balance with the run game and decisiveness in the passing game.
On the ground, the Jets ran for 121 yards on 21 carries. Breece Hall was extremely efficient (18 carries, 113 yards), posting his first 100-yard game of the season. Rodgers was sharp in the passing game, playing on time and delivering the ball accurately all night long.
The addition of Adams gives Rodgers more weapons, but it doesn't fix the weakness of this offense. The Jets' offensive line has been very inconsistent this season, and Rodgers has been hit far too many times for this passing game to remain viable. The line has struggled in the running game at times this season as well, and even though they improved in that area on Monday night, it's still an area of concern for the team.
Despite their flaws, opposing secondaries are going to have headaches game planning for a wide receiver room that includes Adams and Wilson. The two stars immediately form one of the most talented duos in the NFL, and the two should take pressure and attention off of each other and allow them to thrive in one-on-one matchups. | https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-woody-johnson-breaks-silence-davante-adams-trade | 2024-10-15T18:14:28Z |
South Africa also made it to the last four from Group B while England were eliminated from the competition

An opening blitz by Qiana Joseph and Hayley Matthews helped West Indies thrash England by six wickets and storm into the semi-finals of the Women's T20 World Cup on Tuesday.
Joseph smashed 52 for her first T20 international half-century and skipper Matthews hit a 38-ball 50 as West Indies overhauled England's 141-7 with 12 balls to spare.
South Africa also made it to the last four from Group B while England were eliminated from the competition.
"Incredibly proud of the group. Up against the odds tonight but to put up a performance like that with the bat, with Joseph scoring her first T20I fifty — what a time to do that," said Matthews.
"We have been chasing (before in this tournament) and we back ourselves to knock off whatever runs are put on the board."
Matthews launched the West Indies chase with aplomb, hitting a six and two boundaries in the first over by Lauren Bell.
Joseph too joined the party, smashing left-arm spinner Sophie Ecclestone for two fours in a row as West Indies raced to 55-0 in five overs.
Matthews picked Charlie Dean for some special treatment, dispatching the ball over the square leg fence for three boundaries in the sixth over.
England were sloppy in the field, dropping as many as five regulation catches.
Joseph, named player of the match, was dismissed in the 13th over after hitting two sixes and six fours in her 38-ball innings.
Matthews also departed soon after but Deandra Dottin made 27 to give West Indies their first win against England in 14 matches and the first away from home in 10 years.
"Credit to them, they came at us hard, played the conditions well and put us under the pump. Tough to take but credit to Hayley and her team," said England skipper Heather Knight.
"We bowled too short and they played it well."
Put in to bat, England lost Danni Wyatt-Hodge (16) early with the opener being caught brilliantly just inches off the ground by Dottin (1-16) off Matthews (2-35).
Dottin was in the thick of action soon again when she ran out Alice Capsey for one with a sharp one-handed throw to wicketkeeper Shemaine Campbelle.
England suffered another blow as opener Maia Bouchier (14) was caught off leg-spinner Afy Fletcher (3-21) at extra cover, reducing the side to 34-3 by the seventh over.
Knight and Nat Sciver-Brunt (57) helped rebuild the innings, sharing 46 runs for the fourth wicket.
After Knight retired hurt on 21 with a calf strain, Fletcher removed Amy Jones (7) and Charlie Dean (5) in successive overs.
Sciver-Brunt was the most impressive among the England batters, hitting five fours in her unbeaten 50-ball knock. | https://www.khaleejtimes.com/ml/world/west-indies-thrash-england-to-reach-womens-t20-world-cup-semis | 2024-10-15T18:14:23Z |

The CEC asserted that the trumpet symbol was different from the 'man blowing turha'.
New Delhi: The Election Commission on Tuesday said it had agreed to a request by NCP (Sharad Pawar) for a prominent display of its poll symbol -- man-blowing 'turha' -- on ballot units of EVMs, but turned down the demand to freeze the trumpet symbol.
Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar said the NCP-SP had conveyed to the poll authority that its election symbol -- 'man blowing turha' -- was not displayed prominently on the ballot units of EVMs.
"We had asked them to specify how would they want their poll symbol to be displayed on the ballot unit. The NCP-SP had given us three options on the poll symbol and we accepted the first suggestion made by them," Kumar said.
However, the CEC made it clear that the Commission did not wish to disturb the existing system of allocation of election symbols while turning down the demand for the removal of the trumpet symbol from the list of symbols.
The CEC asserted that the trumpet symbol was different from the 'man blowing turha'.
The Sharad Pawar-led party had argued that the trumpet symbol was similar to 'man blowing turha' which confused voters during the Lok Sabha elections.
The NCP-SP had contended that the independent candidate who was allotted the trumpet symbol in the Satara constituency polled more votes than the margin of victory of the BJP candidate Udayanraje Bhonsale.
Bhonsale had defeated NCP-SP candidate Shashikant Shinde by a margin of 32,771 votes. Independent candidate Sanjay Gade, who contested the election on trumpet symbol, had polled 37,062 votes.

The tight end position got off to a slow start in the 2024 fantasy football season, but that all changed in Week 7. After five weeks of (mostly) disappointment, most of the top-drafted fantasy football tight ends this year finally enjoyed some relevance, as George Kittle, Mark Andrews, Trey McBride and Sam LaPorta all finished as top-six options.
It was Andrews' performance this week that was a particular stunner, posting a 3-66-1 line on four targets for his first week scoring more than eight fantasy points in 2024. He posted a season-high 94.7% route participation rate on passing snaps — all good signs of what could be to come in the future.
Are you bold enough to start Andrews again in Week 7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? Find out where he lands in our team's Week 7 tight end rankings:

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) A new path for entry-level professionals to unlock successful accounting careers.
Gainesville, Fla., Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aspiring accounting professionals have a new and powerful tool at their disposal as Gleim Exam Prep, the leader in accounting exam preparation, announces the release of its comprehensive review material for the recently launched financial and Managerial Accounting Associate (FMAA) certification .

Gleim Exam Prep has drawn on its 50 years of accounting certification experience and the expertise of its team of professional educators to create this unique study package for the FMAA exam.

The Kraken and the Predators meet in Nashville! Neither team has started the season playing well through the very early part. We continue our NHL odds series with a Kraken-Predators prediction and pick.
The Seattle Kraken were inconsistent last season and missed out on the postseason. Jared McCann was the team's leader, and they went as he went. This season, Jordan Eberle has been the big difference-maker for the team. He will be the biggest factor for the team in this game against the Predators.
The Nashville Predators were a playoff team last season but have struggled to open this NHL season. Filip Forsberg was huge for the team last year and has started off this season playing well. Jonathan Marchessault has already been a big key for the team this season, but it is still looking for its first win.
Here are the Kraken-Predators NHL odds, courtesy of FanDuel.
NHL Odds: Kraken-Predators Odds
Seattle Kraken: +1.5 (-162)
Moneyline: +152
Nashville Predators: -1.5 (+134)
Moneyline: -184
Over: 5.5 (-132)
Under: 5.5 (+108)
How To Watch Kraken vs Predators
Time: 8:00 pm ET/ 5:00 pm PT
TV: ESPN+
Stream: fuboTV (Free Trial)
Why the Kraken Could Cover the Spread/Win
The Kraken had one of the best defenses in the NHL last season. They were allowing 2.83 goals per game and they had a 90.9% save percentage. The biggest key for them on defense is their goalies, Joey Daccord and Philipp Grubhauer. Daccord had 19 wins in 50 games and he allowed 2.46 goals per game with a 91.6% save percentage. Grubhauer had 14 wins out of 36 games and then allowed 2.86 goals per game with an 89.9% save percentage. This season, both players have been inconsistent with Grubhauer allowing 2.59 goals per game and Daccord allowing 3.71 goals per game.
The Kraken offense struggled last season. They scored 2.61 goals per game and had a 9.1% shooting percentage. Jared McCann led the way in points at 62 and in total goals at 29. Jordan Eberle has been a huge key this year for the Kraken so far this season. He has three total points with two goals and one assist. McCann has two points with one goal and one assist, so far this season.
Why the Predators Could Cover the Spread/Win
The Predators were a playoff team last season. Their offense was solid, scoring 3.24 goals per game and having a 10.1% shooting percentage. The offense goes as Filip Forsberg goes. Last season, Forsberg had 94 points and 48 goals and he had 46 assists. This season, Jonathan Marchessault has been a big addition. He has two assists with two points this season. In comparison, Forsberg has one assist and one goal for two points as well.
The Predators' defense was solid last season as well. They allowed 3.02 goals per game and had a 90.7% save percentage. Saros has 35 wins and 64 games and allowed 2.86 goals per game while having a 90.6% save percentage. Saros has allowed 2.09 goals per game this season while having a 90.5% save percentage. The defense has been inconsistent so far, allowing 3.50 goals per game with an 85.4% save percentage.
Final Kraken-Predators Prediction & Pick
The Kraken are the more trustworthy team in this game. They have started the season playing well and have a great opportunity in this game against the Predators. This should be a close game and the Predators might still win, but expect the Kraken to keep it close because these two teams have also had similar seasons so far this year.
Final Kraken-Predators Prediction & Pick: Seattle Kraken +1.5 (-162) | https://clutchpoints.com/kraken-vs-predators-prediction-odds-pick-10-15-2024 | 2024-10-15T18:14:34Z |
Cloudflare NET shares have gained 12.6% in the year-to-date (YTD) period. However, NET stock has underperformed the Zacks Internet Software industry, Zacks Computer and Technology sector and the S&P 500 index’s return of 26.3%, 26.9% and 22.9%, respectively, YTD.
Given this underperformance, investors are wondering whether this slow growth in stock price reflects underlying weaknesses, or is it a temporary stagnation that offers a buying opportunity.
Sluggish Growth Hurts Cloudflare Stock’s Performance
NET stock’s underperformance can be attributed to the company’s decelerating growth, which has raised concerns about its near-term prospects. Notably, Cloudflare has experienced impressive growth since its IPO in 2019. However, recent quarterly reports indicate a slowdown. The company's revenue growth, while still robust, is not as explosive as in previous years.
Cloudflare enjoyed nearly 50% year-over-year top-line growth until 2022. However, the growth rate decelerated to 33% in 2023. Current estimates for 2024 and 2025 suggest further deceleration to around 27%.
Similarly, Cloudflare has seen tremendous improvement in its bottom-line results over the past few years, turning profitable on a non-GAAP basis in 2022 and registering a robust 272% increase in 2023. However, earnings growth for 2024 and 2025 is projected to be around 45% and 18%, respectively.
Going ahead, near-term prospects might be hurt by softening IT spending as enterprises postpone large tech investments due to macroeconomic uncertainties and geopolitical issues. This makes the company's near-term prospects appear cautious.
Cloudflare YTD Performance

Cloudflare’s Elevated Valuation Raises Concerns
Cloudflare appears overvalued from a price-to-earnings (P/E) perspective. The stock is currently trading at a forward 12-month P/E ratio of 116.13X, significantly higher than the Zacks Internet - Software industry average of 35.41X. This premium valuation raises concerns about the stock’s sustainability, signaling potential downward risk.
Though slowing growth and stretched valuation remain concerns, it's not all gloom and doom for Cloudflare. The company’s robust market position and sustained focus on expanding its presence in the AI market offer significant long-term growth opportunities.
Cloudflare’s Robust Market Position Aids Customer Growth
Cloudflare has built a solid reputation for its innovative solutions in content delivery, Internet security and edge computing. The company's mission to build a better Internet has resonated with a wide range of customers from small businesses to large enterprises.
Its extensive global network, combined with a strong focus on performance and security, has been driving customer growth. In its most recent earnings report for the second quarter of 2024, Cloudflare’s total paying customer base soared 21% year over year to 210,200.
NET added 168 new customers who contributed more than $100,000 in annual revenues during the quarter, bringing the total count of such customers to 3,050. This growth is supported by a high net retention rate, indicating strong customer loyalty and the ability to upsell additional services.
Expansion in AI Space to Drive NET's Growth
Cloudflare has been expanding in the artificial intelligence (AI) space by launching innovative products. So far this year, NET has launched security products for AI, including Firewall for AI and Defensive AI. Firewall for AI protects Large Language Models from cyberattacks by providing a security layer. Defensive AI protects devices exposed to the Internet from AI-based cyberattacks.
Cloudflare has also expanded in the AI space through partnerships with Hugging Face Hub, CrowdStrike CRWD, Microsoft MSFT and NVIDIA NVDA. Cloudflare’s collaboration with Hugging Face enabled developers with the capacity to develop AI applications on NET’s global network with just one click from Hugging Face.
NET’s collaboration with CRWD combined Cloudflare’s Zero Trust protection and CrowdStrike’s AI-powered cybersecurity solutions to prevent breaches on a large scale. Cloudflare has also partnered with many other industry leaders in 2024 to expand its expertise beyond AI.
Cloudflare’s collaboration with Microsoft was focused on allowing enterprise customers to deploy AI models across devices, network edges and cloud environments by utilizing ONNX runtime. In 2023, NET also announced its plan to use NVDA’s GPUs and Ethernet switches in its global network to bring AI close to its users.
What Should Investors Do?
Although Cloudflare’s strong market position and expansion in the AI market are encouraging, high valuation warrant caution. The company's slowing growth rates and macroeconomic uncertainties pose near-term risks.
Keeping these factors in mind we suggest investors to wait for a better entry time in this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

IFVI launches environmental value factors and methodologies spanning Air Pollution, Land Use, Waste, and Water Pollution.
BOSTON, Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The International Foundation for Valuing Impacts (IFVI) launches the Interim Methodologies, a suite of new impact accounting resources that enable companies and investors to measure and value in monetary terms the most significant environmental impacts. These resources span four environmental categories – air pollution, land use and conversion, waste, and water pollution; and cover more than 430 different types of impacts, tailored for the unique contexts of over 268 countries and regions.
Building on the frameworks and protocols of existing standard setters, IFVI is developing the next level of sustainability information – the monetary valuation of impacts, also called impact accounting. To drive adoption of impact accounting and meet market needs as soon as possible, IFVI is making the Interim Methodologies available for use prior to completing its methodology oversight process.
For the first time, investors that have channeled trillions into ESG investments will be able to rely on robust data to measure and compare in monetary terms the impacts created by companies.
The resources include:
- Global Value Factor Database: The near 100,000 value factors included in the interim and official environmental methodologies are presented together in this database for ease of use.
- Interim Methodologies: Overviews of the topic, its impacts, and how to apply the value factors to support users in preparing impact accounts for each of the topics.
- Interim Models: Spreadsheets outlining the detailed formulas and data inputs used to calculate the value factors, presented for transparency and for future revision and expansion.
- Interim Technical Manuals: Detailed guides of how to understand, apply, and expand the model used to apply the methodology for each topic.
Learn more at: https://ifvi.org/methodology/environmental-topic-methodology/interim-methodologies/
T. Robert Zochowski, President & CEO of IFVI said:
"The work that we have accomplished has eliminated a significant barrier to impact accounting – lack of open access to impact accounting methodology and value factors. We are closer than ever to a just and sustainable global economy based on the full contribution of business to people and the planet, built upon the practice of impact accounting to promote decision-making based on risk, return, and impact."
George Serafeim, Charles M. Williams Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School said:
"I'm very excited about the work that IFVI has accomplished over the past two years, creating standard methodologies that expand on the initial work of the Impact-Weighted Accounts Project and allow for different data to be connected to each other. There is already a lot of impact data that exists. The issue is how we connect that data and gain insights. That is the value of impact accounting and why this development serves as a monumental achievement."
Rt. Honorable Nick Hurd, Chair of GSG Impact and the Impact Task Force said:
"The destination we must reach is a world in which companies and governments account for their impact in a meaningful way by putting a monetary value on impact and building it into financial statements so that climate and nature are on the balance sheet."

Security has been tightened around the venue of the swearing-in ceremony.
Srinagar: The stage is set for Omar Abdullah to take oath as the first chief minister of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir following the victory of his National Conference in the maiden assembly election after the abrogation of Article 370.
Preparations have been put in place for the oath ceremony of the chief minister and his council of ministers at the Sher-i-Kashmir International Convention Centre (SKICC) on Wednesday, officials said.
The chief minister and his ministers will be administered the oath of office and secrecy by J-K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha at 11:30 am.
Security has been tightened around the venue of the swearing-in ceremony, the officials said.
"The security has been increased especially as a lot of VVIPs will be attending the event. We will ensure the smooth conduct of the event," the officials added.
Invitations to attend the oath ceremony have been sent to the constituents of the INDIA bloc.
National Conference (NC) Kashmir provincial president Nasir Aslam Wani said it was not clear yet who will be attending the ceremony.
"We will get to know about the VVIP attendees later this evening after receiving their confirmation," Wani said.
Sinha on Monday invited the NC vice president to take oath as the J&K chief minister.
The invitation came a day after the Centre revoked the President's rule in the Union Territory.
In a letter to Abdullah, Mr Sinha said, "I have received a letter of 11th October 2024 from Dr. Farooq Abdullah, President, Jammu and Kashmir National Conference, wherein it has been informed that you have been unanimously elected as Leader of the Legislature Party."
He said he has also received a letter from Jammu and Kashmir Congress chief Tariq Hameed Karra, CPI(M) secretary G N Malik, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national secretary Pankaj Kumar Gupta and Independent MLAs-elect Payare Lal Sharma, Satish Sharma, Mohammad Akram, Rameshwar Singh and Muzafar Iqbal Khan extending their support to the NC.
"I am pleased to invite you to form and lead the Government of Jammu and Kashmir. As separately settled, I shall administer Oath of Office and Secrecy to you, and to those recommended by you for induction as members of your Council of Ministers, at SKICC, Srinagar on 16th October 2024 at 11:30 a.m," Sinha said in his letter.
The LG's emissary had handed over the letter to Abdullah and informed him about the date and time of the swearing-in ceremony.
Abdullah was unanimously elected the leader of the NC Legislature Party on Thursday, setting the stage for his second term as chief minister. His first term, from 2009 to 2014 when Jammu and Kashmir was a full-fledged state, was also under an NC-Congress coalition government.
The NC won 42 out of the 90 seats which went to poll in the recent elections, while the Congress won six. Together, the two pre-poll allies hold a majority in the 95-member assembly -- five members are to be nominated by the LG.
Their strength is further bolstered by the support from five Independent MLAs-elect and a lone AAP MLA-elect.

New York Jets owner Woody Johnson said on Tuesday that it's going to be a busy week for the franchise — one that he believes will turn a rough start into a winning season.
Speaking to reporters at the NFL owner's meetings, Johnson said "we want to bring a lot of change this week" as news traveled that the team was reportedly acquiring wide receiver Davante Adams from the Las Vegas Raiders — a move the Jets owner couldn't confirm, but said was "in the hopper."
The Jets fell to 2-4 following Monday night's 23-20 overtime loss to the Buffalo Bills, their third straight defeat. Last week's loss to the Minnesota Vikings led to head coach Robert Saleh getting fired. Now they're bringing in an All-Pro wideout and former teammate of quarterback Aaron Rodgers to begin the turn around process.
It's a reversal that Johnson is confident will happen starting with these two big moves in a week.
"Salvageable?," Johnson said of the Jets' season. "We're gonna kick ... you can add the words after that. We're going to do really well."
There are still 11 games to play for the Jets and they are only two games behind the Bills for the AFC East lead. But there's still work to do.
Through six weeks, the Jets are tied for the seventh-most sacks allowed (16), third-most interceptions (5), ninth-worst completion percentage (62.2), are fourth in total receiver drops (11), and own the worst field goal completion percentage (66.7) in the NFL.
What's done is done, Johnson believes. The only thing left to do now is look towards the future — moving Haason Reddick may be next — in order to improve their circumstances.
"You have to look forward," Johnson said. "We have to look forward to the games we're going to play each and every week and try to win all of them and that's basic stuff, right? ... You just have to go with your instinct and what's the best thing to build a team and build a winning team and most importantly build a culture, a culture of winning. And I think based on what I saw yesterday, I think we're starting a new and more exciting direction." | https://www.k923orlando.com/news/national/jets-owner-woody/LTEP6CRNJNBQI4ZQW5ZVT6O5KM/ | 2024-10-15T18:14:39Z |

Bengaluru: Inmates of Karnataka's Kalaburgi jail are getting VIP treatment, indicate videos which are being widely circulated on social media. Photos and videos, not independently verified by NDTV, show them having easy access to smart phones and marijuana.
In one video, a prisoner is seen making a video call to friends using his smart phone. Other prisoners are seen posing for selfies while smoking marijuana.
Malini Krishnamurthy, Director General of Police in charge of the state's prisons, assured that the matter will be investigated.
Such incidents coming to light frequently, the authorities have ordered a preliminary inquiry, she said.
"There is already an FIR registered. We will investigate if there is any role involving the police officers as well. We will take action accordingly.... We are working towards putting an end to this," she added.
Actor Darshan, accused in a murder case, was recently caught enjoying VIP treatment at Parappana Agrahara prison in Bengaluru.
Darshan's Personal Assistant Nagaraj was moved to Kalaburagi Jail when he was shifted to Ballari. Taking note of this, the DGP Prisons of Karnataka paid a visit to Kalaburagi to take stock of the situation.
The matter has surfaced amid the headlines over the murder of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique, allegedly by the gang of Lawrence Bishnoi.
Bishnoi currently being in Gujarat's Sabarmati jail, questions have been raised about how he can orchestrate such a massive crime from behind the bars. | https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/vip-life-of-kalaburagi-central-jail-inmates-exposed-police-case-filed-6797378 | 2024-10-15T18:14:43Z |

(MENAFN- PR Newswire)
FISHKILL, N.Y., Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Despite advances in interoperability, ambulatory referrals from one clinician to another often lack necessary information essential for optimal efficient care. 360X, an
ONC sponsored, standards organization-approved protocol for closed-loop referrals, solves this problem. Many organizations, including Epic, MedAllies, eCW, NextGen, Netsmart and others, have devoted time and resources in the development of the 360X protocol.
Today 360X is live.
With 360X, the necessary information is "pushed" from the referring clinician's electronic health record (EHR) directly into the receiving provider's EHR. Once the consultation has been completed the information is "pushed" back to the referring physician, thereby closing the referral loop. An Epic client and a Netsmart Behavioral Health client both in Multnomah County, Oregon, are now successfully using 360X for closed-loop referrals over the
MedAllies Direct Network.
"360X not only expedites the entire referral process, the 360X protocol also enables clinicians to have the necessary information for patient care within their own
EHR system," said Holly Miller, MD, chief medical officer for MedAllies. "This facilitates the quality and efficiency of care and enhances staff, clinician and patient satisfaction."
"Netsmart has been at the forefront of advancing interoperability standards to connect community-based care providers, enhancing the client journey," said AJ Peterson, SVP & GM of CareGuidance, Netsmart. "By leveraging electronic closed-loop referrals, providers can offer an integrated care experience, ensuring that clients' data accompanies them as they move through various care settings."
To explore adopting 360X within your organization, contact your
EHR vendor.
