Abbotsford (Abbotsford PD and files from CBC) – The RCMP’s announcement advising of allegations of criminal activity connected to the Government of India occurring within Canada is deeply concerning to the AbbyPD. Not only are the lives of the victims or intended victims of these criminal acts affected, but the fear that these criminal acts create can adversely impact the lives of friends, family, neighbours, and communities, including the Abbotsford community.
AbbyPD has remained steadfast in assessing and investigating reported incidents of extortion and violence. We will continue to work alongside our law enforcement partners, including the RCMP, to hold those accountable for crimes committed within Abbotsford. AbbyPD remains open to work with key community stakeholders to listen and collaborate in tackling violence and threats of violence in our community.
Each day, AbbyPD is committed to ensuring public safety for the citizens of Abbotsford and wants to assure our community that acts of violence are a priority for us as we continue to pursue our mission to make Abbotsford the safest city in BC.
Your vigilance and cooperation are crucial in maintaining the safety of our community. The RCMP and AbbyPD are seeking the public’s assistance in reporting incidents of foreign interference by the Government of India. Anyone who feels threatened online or in person, should report the incident to their local police. If
someone is in immediate danger, call 9-1-1. Individuals can also report to the RCMP National Security Information Network by phone at 1-800-420-5805 or online at rcmp.ca/report-it.
On October 14, CBC reported: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the Indian government has made a “fundamental error” as he accused it of supporting a campaign of violence against Canadians on Canadian soil.
The prime minister spoke to reporters Monday, hours after the head of the RCMP laid out stunning allegations accusing agents of the Indian government of playing a role in “widespread violence” in Canada, including homicides, and warned that it poses “a serious threat to our public safety.”
Earlier in the day, Canada announced it’s expelling six Indian diplomats. India has denied the allegations and quickly retaliated, ordering six Canadian diplomats to leave the country within a week. | https://fraservalleynewsnetwork.com/2024/10/15/opinion-abbypd-response-to-rcmp-foreign-government-allegations-targeting-south-asian-communities/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=opinion-abbypd-response-to-rcmp-foreign-government-allegations-targeting-south-asian-communities | 2024-10-15T18:17:50Z |

National Police officers have taken down two cannabis smoking clubs in Marbella where marijuana, hashish and ecstasy were allegedly being sold. Investigators arrested three people, aged between 23 and 33, including the managers of the two clubs.
As a result of the search of the properties in Puerto Banús, police seized 470 grams of marijuana, 280 grams of hashish, 54 grams of ecstasy, five weighing scales and 900 euros in cash.
The operation was launched by the specialised and violent crime unit based at the force's headquarters in Marbella and followed reports of drug users in the vicinity of the two premises which were registered as cannabis smoking associations.
The clubs under suspicion were used as a starting point to hide "substantial quantities" of drugs, and their subsequent sale, on a small and medium scale, to third parties. The suspects were members of two associations that promoted and encouraged the sale and consumption of cannabis derivatives, and these establishments had become "black spots" for the distribution of narcotics in Marbella, police investigators said.

Mexican officials: No planting, consumption of GMO white corn
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said in her Oct. 1 inaugural speech that Mexico “will not allow the planting of transgenic corn” and that the country will “be self-sufficient not only in white corn, but also in beans and other crops,” according to a translation of her speech released on Truthdig by Timothy Wise, an American opponent of genetic modification previously associated with the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy.
In addition, Wise released an article quoting Mexican Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development Julio Berdegué Sacristán stating that there will be “no production or human consumption in Mexico of transgenic white corn.”
According to the translation, Sheinbaum said, “We will advance in food sovereignty and self-sufficiency, as the president says: ‘feed those who feed us.’ We will not allow the planting of transgenic corn, says Andrés Manuel López Obrador. We will not allow the planting of transgenic corn. We will be self-sufficient, not only in white corn, but also in beans and other crops, and Diconsa will be transformed into Alimentación para el Bienestar with the objective of promoting prices and fair trade for various agricultural products and continue serving 22 million families.”
Imagen Agropecuaria (Agricultural Image) reported, “The head of the Secretariat of Agriculture and Rural Development (Sader), Julio Berdegué Sacristán, stated that a major priority for the new administration is to increase food production for national consumption and the country will continue to be self-sufficient in non-transgenic white corn for human consumption,” and “that is an uncompromising goal, there will be no production or human consumption in Mexico of transgenic white corn, that is not going to happen.”
The U.S. government has filed a case objecting to the Mexican policy with the U.S. Mexico Canada Agreement on trade, and a decision is expected soon, according to U.S. officials.
“Mexico’s resolve — reaffirmed by Scheinbaum’s newly seated secretary of agriculture in his own inaugural remarks — presents a bold challenge not only to the U.S. government, but to a global trade regime widely charged with favoring multinational firms over countries’ legal commitments to protect public health and the environment,” Wise said in the article. | https://www.thefencepost.com/news/mexican-officials-no-planting-consumption-of-gmo-white-corn/ | 2024-10-15T18:17:52Z |
U.S. issues warning to Israel: resolve Gaza crisis or face arms embargo
"Failure to implement these measures could lead to consequences for American policy, in accordance with American law."
The United States has issued a stark ultimatum to Israel regarding the escalating humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.
Senior administration officials have conveyed a clear message: resolve the situation within 30 days, or face potential sanctions on arms shipments. This threat of an arms embargo represents a pivotal moment in the relationship between the two longstanding allies.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin have explicitly warned the Israeli government about the urgency of addressing the humanitarian crisis.
A formal document sent to Israeli ministers Ron Dermer and Yoav Gallant states: "Failure to implement these measures could lead to consequences for American policy, in accordance with American law."
This pressure from Washington aligns with recent calls from French President Emmanuel Macron, who urged an end to arms deliveries to Israel amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza. In response, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu labeled the notion of an embargo as a "shame." | https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/israel/diplomacy/artc-u-s-issues-warning-to-israel-resolve-gaza-crisis-or-face-arms-embargo | 2024-10-15T18:17:52Z |
SANTA MONICA, Calif. -- A Santa Monica College employee was shot and injured at a California satellite campus, and a search was underway for the suspect Tuesday, authorities said.
The incident happened just before 10 p.m. Monday at the college's Center for Media and Design on Stewart Street, according to a statement from the school.
The victim, who has not been identified, was taken to a local hospital in critical condition.
Johnnie Adams, the school's chief of police, said in a statement that the shooting was a "workplace violence incident" and not a random act.
A description or identity of the suspect was not available.
All Santa Monica College campuses will be closed Tuesday. | https://abc7chicago.com/post/employee-shot-santa-monica-colleges-center-media-design-search-suspect-underway/15431648/ | 2024-10-15T18:17:52Z |
Effective immediately, SEBI has increased the position limits for trading members (TMs) in index derivatives. The new limit is set at the higher of Rs 7,500 crore or 15% of the total Open Interest (OI) in the market, up from the previous limit of Rs 500 crore or 15% of total OI. The position limits will be applicable for index futures and index options separately.
Starting from April 1, 2025, SEBI will begin monitoring positions based on the total open interest of the market at the end of the previous day's trade. This shift from real-time monitoring aligns with the current practice in the currency derivatives segment and aims to address concerns about fluctuations in open interest throughout the trading day.
SEBI has clarified that participants will not be penalized or forced to unwind their positions in cases where the market Open Interest drops compared to the previous day, even if their position remains unchanged. This is to prevent "passive breaches" of the new position limits.
Stock exchanges and clearing corporations are required to modify their bye-laws and regulations to implement these changes. Market participants, including trading members, are advised to review the SEBI circular and familiarize themselves with the new guidelines.

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.wsbtv.com/news/national/fantasy-football/FC4M6YSYJ5WC6BJCO3H3DEJPM4/ | 2024-10-15T18:17:52Z |
Butt took the job from fellow co-owner Gary Neville in 2022, but feels he can no longer give the position the time it deserves.
The League Two club have stalled in their progress over the past 12 to 24 months.
"Whilst I have enjoyed the day-to-day responsibilities of the chief executive role and discovered a huge amount about the challenges an EFL club faces away from the football pitch, I have recently realised how much I miss the coaching and development of players, and this has increased my desire to get back into that side of the game," he said.
"Over the past few months there have been several exciting opportunities put forward to me that have put my focus back on coaching and on the grass.
"That being said I have always wanted to put Salford first, and we now have experienced executives within the senior management team here which means that I can step away from my current duties without any impact on current operations and it will be very much business as usual." | https://www.tribalfootball.com/article/soccer-league-two-man-utd-legend-butt-leaves-salford-role-as-he-aims-to-return-to-coaching-7808e645-ae45-4a63-b0ef-0c13d8a5c49a | 2024-10-15T18:17:52Z |

The Blues have made it a habit to cash in on products from their youth academy to fund first team purchases.
However, the duo claim that a big money offer for a youth player was rejected this past summer.
“We had a significant offer for one of our academy products this summer that we absolutely chose not to take,” Winstnaely told The Telegraph.
“There’s a lot of misconception out there.
“We’ve had two debuts this year. There’s three or four more players in behind who we think we can push through this year as well that we’re keen to do. The manager’s on board with that, he’s aware of the players coming through. We give them opportunities when we can to make sure they’ve got that pathway.
“It’s not just about PSR, it’s contractual statuses, it’s circumstances. The two players you referenced, there were contractual problems that we walked into. It’s really important for us to bring through players.” | https://www.tribalfootball.com/article/soccer-premier-league-chelsea-co-sporting-directors-says-youth-development-is-very-important-at-the-club-113928a8-7854-4098-8237-b41cd6c01b5c | 2024-10-15T18:17:53Z |

Next year - 2025 - is just around the corner and the more far-sighted of us will already be keeping an eye on the calendar of public holidays to plan our leisure time.
New Year's Day, 1 January ; Good Friday, 18 April; Labour Day, 1 May ; Day of the Assumption of the Virgin, 15 August; National Holiday of Spain, 12 October; All Saints' Day, 1 November; Constitution Day, 6 December; Day of the Immaculate Conception, 8 December, and Day of the Nativity of the Lord, 25 December.
In addition to the national holidays of New Year's Day (1-6 January), Holy Thursday and Good Friday of Easter Week, Labour Day (1 May), Day of the Assumption of the Virgin (15 August), National Holiday of Spain (12 October), All Saints' Day (1 November) and the three December holidays, Spanish Constitution Day, Immaculate Conception and Christmas), in Andalucía we must add the celebration day of the region (28 February). This coming year, 12 October falls on a Sunday, so the public holiday will be moved to Monday 13 October. Here you can check which day of the week the national holidays in Andalucía will fall on in 2025.
To these, each municipality adds two local public holidays. The number of public holidays may not exceed 14 per year, of which two are local. In the following document you can see the complete list of municipalities in Malaga and Andalucía and their two local public holidays.
In Malaga city for example, public holidays will be on Tuesday 19 August (Incorporation of Malaga into the Crown of Castile) and Monday 8 September (Virgen de la Victoria); in Marbella they will be on Wednesday 11 June and Monday 20 October, and in Vélez-Málaga on 25 July and 29 September.

NEW YORK — (AP) — When Elton John was on tour in America in the 1970s, there was someone on TV who caught his eye. She was an over-the-top, heavy makeup-wearing performer who wore her heart on her sleeve and yet seemed in on the joke — televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker. You could say game was recognizing game.
John — who back then toured in bedazzled hats, cartoonish outfits and sported enough sequins to choke an elephant — was drawn to a woman with caked-on makeup, an ability to connect with fans and the skill to return after a gut-punch of betrayal.
“She fascinated the hell out of me,” John tells The Associated Press. “I love people who come back from the dead, more or less. She was completely outlawed and banished, and she fought through that because of her goodness and kindness and her belief and her faith. It’s an amazing story, Shakespearean in a way."
John has put this Shakespearian heroine's story to song with the stage musical "Tammy Faye" and the latest iteration lands on Broadway this month, championing what he calls "a gladiator on her own terms."
“She comes from absolute nothing — complete poverty — getting all the fame and the wealth and then losing it all in a world of men,” says book writer James Graham. “There is a universality to that story.”
Tammy Faye and Jim Bakker rose to prominence as the husband-and-wife televangelist hosts of TV's Praise the Lord Club from 1974 through 1987. They preached the prosperity gospel, a belief that God wants his followers to be wealthy and healthy.
The Bakkers were embroiled in a scandal when Jim Bakker was accused of sexual assault and financial fraud involving hush money paid to his alleged victim. After divorcing Bakker in 1992, Tammy Faye would go on to marry Roe Messner, who was himself convicted of bankruptcy fraud in 1996.
The musical has been retooled from a run in London in 2022, with two songs out and two added. The project has the blessing of her second husband, and her son Jay Bakker, has attended rehearsals.
The creative team — John, Graham, director Rupert Goold and lyricist Jake Shears of Scissor Sisters — is largely British, except for Shears, so they say they were careful coming to America telling the story of an American icon.
“Most of the music is joyous because it’s set in the South and it’s gospel-orientated,” says John. “I consider her to be joyous and so it was quite easy to write the joyous songs. I love that kind of music. I’m basically a born-again Southern person. It just appealed to me.”
Audiences will see a woman — two-time Olivier Award-winner Katie Brayben reprises her West End Tammy Faye — surrounded by men, including portrayals of Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Swaggart, Pat Robertson and Marvin Gorman.
“She is the one that no one was really paying attention to. Everyone went, ‘Oh, that silly woman with the hair and the eyes.’ She’s the one who’s lasted and now has a musical on Broadway. And I think that’s great,” says Graham.
The musical comes at a time when the culture is reconsidering stories of women lost amid crisis, like Sinéad O'Connor, Janet Jackson and Monica Lewinsky. But the look at Tammy Faye is not entirely sympathetic, pointing out that she turned a blind eye to the vast riches coming into her church.
“We celebrate her values and what she represented and her kookiness and her humor. She got into some stuff as well, though, and we have to hold her accountable for,” says Graham. “We have to test her and push her a bit as well, giving her a prosecution and a defense.”
This is not the first time the story of Tammy Faye Messner, who died of cancer in 2007 at 65, has been explored. RuPaul narrated the documentary "The Eyes of Tammy Faye," which was turned into a Hollywood movie that snagged Jessica Chastain her first Oscar opposite Andrew Garfield.
John has had smashing success on Broadway — like with "The Lion King," "Aida" and "Billy Elliot: The Musical." He sees a few connections between "Billy Elliot" from 2005 with "Tammy Faye." Both lampoon conservatives — Margaret Thatcher in "Billy Elliot" and evangelicals in "Tammy Faye" — and both examine traditional gender roles amid culture wars.
Graham hopes a younger audience can connect even without having lived through the time when Messner warbled gospel songs on TV or cried so much her mascara dripped down her cheeks.
“Way before reality television and cancel culture and social media, in a way, she and her family were the very first reality TV family,” he says. “For a younger audience, it's also all about how you celebrate your individual idiosyncrasies and your identity and not apologize for them.”
In the soulful ballad "Empty Hands" that closes Act 1, Brayben as Tammy Faye sings to her husband: "Here I am/Trying to stand/With faithless mercy/Empty hands/I want to forgive you/ But I don't think I can/With faithless mercy and empty hands."
Messner gained lasting affection for stepping out of the strict evangelical, anti-gay doctrine of the time to show compassion and empathy with Steve Pieters, a gay minister living with HIV and AIDS.
“What she represented even 30 or 40 years ago was a desire to reach across those divides and nothing about her faith contradicted that,” says Graham.
“I think what she represents — that goodness and decency — is something we all, particularly in this election year, need to remind ourselves. We’re not divided by these things. That’s weaponized by people to divide us.”

Kamala Getting Desperate, Reportedly Plans to Use Joe Rogan in Risky Attempt to Sway Voters
The powerful people who installed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party’s 2024 presidential nominee must have something planned.
Otherwise, one could scarcely imagine their motives in setting up the vice president for a near-certain catastrophe.
On Monday, Reuters reported that Harris campaign officials have engaged in talks that could result in their candidate sitting down for an interview with ultra-popular podcaster Joe Rogan, host of “The Joe Rogan Experience” on Spotify.
Two sources close to the situation confirmed that Harris campaign officials have indeed met with Rogan’s team this week. Thus far, however, the talks and meetings have not yet resulted in a confirmed interview.
To put it mildly, an appearance on Rogan’s podcast would force the vice president well outside of her comfort zone.
For instance, according to The Joe Rogan Experience podcast stats, updated as recently as Friday, Rogan has recorded 2,454 episodes in the show’s 14.5 years of existence, and the average duration of an episode is 2 hours, 38 minutes and 25 seconds.
In other words, Rogan conducts long-form conversations of remarkable depth.
Likewise, of the show’s 1,134 total podcast guests, 89 percent have been male.
Furthermore, Rogan’s 2018 interview with entrepreneur Elon Musk ranks as the most-watched episode in podcast history. To date, that episode and Musk’s second appearance on the Rogan podcast have amassed more than 100 million combined views.
Thus, should an interview materialize, the vice president would find herself venturing onto a podcast that would require her to speak in an unscripted manner for nearly three hours to a predominantly male audience of viewers and listeners who love Musk.
What could go wrong?
Nothing, of course, would more clearly signal the Harris campaign’s mounting desperation. After all, polls have shown that young men, including young black men, have drifted more and more toward former President Donald Trump.
Last week, in a lame attempt to appeal to black male voters, campaign operatives trotted out former President Barack Obama. It backfired. Predictably, rather than appeal to black male voters’ interests and values, the elitist former president accused them of sexism.
Harris campaign operatives tried something similar with Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, the vice president’s running mate. That earned them some delicious and justifiable mockery from liberal talk show host Bill Maher.
Meanwhile, Harris spent last week bombing friendly interviews. Her appearances on CBS’s “60 Minutes” and “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” along with ABC’s “The View,” were widely panned, for they illustrated her inability to speak in coherent sentences or even to distinguish herself from President Joe Biden.
Thus, one wonders how she would endure nearly three hours of unscripted conversation with Rogan.
After all, if she had something interesting to say, she would have said it by now. Instead, she has treated the public to one word salad after another.
Moreover, Rogan has made no secret of his lack of respect for the vice president’s intellectual capacity.
See, for instance, the following clip from a Rogan interview conducted several months ago with author Michael Malice.
“If you’re going after Officer Harris you’re either racist or sexist or ableist,” Malice said in a clip posted to the social media platform X.
“Right. Ableist?” Rogan asked.
“Yeah, ’cause she’s a retard. She’s literally retarded,” Malice replied with a straight face.
At that point, Rogan nearly fell off his chair laughing.
The host and his guest then spent nearly 90 seconds mocking Harris and trying to explain her bizarre behavior.
WARNING: The following video contains language that some readers might find offensive
NEW: Joe Rogan starts cracking up after Michael Malice tells him that VP Kamala Harris is “literally ret*rded” and is “America’s wine mom.”
Malice joked that Harris has the “three phases of wine mom.”
“I think of her as America’s wine mom because b*tch seems like she’s three… pic.twitter.com/fgz3lM18HD
— Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) August 1, 2024
No doubt many Americans in the last four years have debated whether the members of our political establishment qualify as diabolical or merely stupid.
For the likes of Harris, the jury remains out.
As for those who installed her as a presidential nominee, one leans toward diabolical.
So what is their play here in setting her up for a possible interview with Rogan that would further expose her myriad inadequacies? Do they hope for a nervous breakdown that would require a last-minute substitute?
Whatever the reasoning, their desperation has become palpable.

Roborock Q7 Max
The Roborock Q7 Max is an impressive robot vacuum with a wide range of smart features and for a limited time it's discounted to just $220, which is its lowest price ever and a saving of $380.
A smart home isn't complete without a little help keeping the floors clean, and today at Amazon, you can get that help alongside some savings. The Roborock Q7 Max robot vacuum is seeing its all-time lowest price, with Amazon marking it down to just $220. This is a massive saving from its regular price of $600 and a total discount of $380.
If a new robot vacuum interests you, you'll want to click through and make a purchase quickly, as Amazon has this listed as a limited time deal. Prime members will also get free one-day shipping, so act quickly and you can put this robot vacuum to work as soon as tomorrow.
Why you should buy the Roborock Q7 Max robot vacuum
A robot vacuum is a no-brainer when considering the best smart home devices, and the Roborock Q7 Max is worth considering even at its regular price. With this $380 price drop, however, you're getting a lot of robo-vac for a price you'll usually see among more entry-level options. When it comes to the more practical aspects of keeping the floors clean, the Q7 Max produces an incredible maximum suction power of 4200 Pa. This allows it to lift debris, such as pet hair, from floors, cracks, and even carpets. Its smarts will chip in here, too, as it's capable of increasing suction the moment it detects carpet to ensure deeper cleaning.

Gallant meets families of hostages, admits no solution in sight
"There is stagnation, and I don't see any progress right now, I'm sorry to say," Gallant told the families
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant met with the families of Hamas hostages on Monday, conveying a grim outlook regarding the ongoing negotiations for their release.
During the meeting, Gallant expressed that there is currently no end in sight to the impasse between Israel and Hamas, acknowledging the challenges ahead.
According to Gallant, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar is closely monitoring escalating tensions on the Lebanese and Iranian fronts, hoping that the regional conflict he has long desired will come to fruition.
"There is stagnation, and I don't see any progress right now, I'm sorry to say," Gallant told the families, as reported in a recording released by the Israeli press.
The defense minister emphasized Israel's commitment to securing the hostages' return, stating that if an opportunity arises to advance a hostage deal by linking developments in Lebanon and Gaza—an approach favored by Mossad chief Ronen Bar—Israel would seize it. "We need it for them, but also for us as a society," Gallant remarked.
These statements come just days after Bar's secret visit to Cairo to discuss the situation with Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel, underscoring the complexities of the ongoing negotiations and the urgent need for a resolution. | https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/israel/politics/artc-gallant-meets-families-of-hostages-admits-no-solution-in-sight | 2024-10-15T18:17:55Z |

Anne With An E star Miranda McKeon reveals 'mental health effects' of battling cancer at age 19
- Have YOU got a story? Email tips@dailymail.com
Anne With An E star Miranda McKeon has revealed the 'mental health effects' of battling stage three cancer at age 19.
The actress was about to enter her sophomore year of college in 2021 when she felt a lump in her right breast and was diagnosed with the illness.
She underwent a punishing course of treatments, including a double mastectomy, another surgery to remove multiple lymph nodes, chemotherapy and radiation.
Now, she is 22 years old, the disease is in remission and she is 'definitely eager to get back into the industry,' Miranda shared.
'I just never thought I’d be this happy again,' she said, baring her soul about the emotional impact of her cancer battle to People.
Anne With An E star Miranda McKeon has revealed the 'mental health effects' of battling stage three cancer at age 19
'The mental health effects that come along with cancer diagnoses can be so heavy. I would go to bed every night thinking about it,' shared Miranda, who is writing a book about her ordeal.
While being treated for cancer, she also entered therapy and began taking an antidepressant that she still uses to this day.
'I never thought I’d reach the point where I wouldn’t think about having cancer every day of my life. But now I do have days where I don’t think about it,' she revealed.
After acting Off-Broadway as a child, Miranda enrolled in college at the University Of Southern California, but her freshman year was virtual because of COVID-19.
For her sophomore year in 2021, she was finally allowed to attend school in person - only to feel a lump in her right breast during summer vacation.
'I kind of started freaking out. I was taught growing up that when you feel a lump in your breast that’s indicative of having breast cancer,' she said.
Although she went in for tests, the doctor tried to comfort her, telling her she was unlikely to have cancer because of her age and the fact it did not run in her family.
However, when she traveled to San Francisco to attend a summer agriculture program, she received a text from her doctor.
Miranda, who beat her cancer into remission in 2022, is pictured in an Instagram photo posted from New York City last week

Now, she is 22 years old, the disease is in remission and she is 'definitely eager to get back into the industry,' Miranda shared; pictured with the cast of Anne With An E
'I was like: "Huh, that’s odd, never do doctors really text you." She said I had cancer and that it had already spread to my lymph nodes,' Miranda remembered.
'It was a really surreal moment. I immediately got emotional, and I remember getting my mom on the phone right away.'
During her treatments - including the double-mastectomy, the lymph node removal, eight rounds of chemotherapy and 25 sessions of radiation - she experienced 'days where I felt like I was completely melting or falling apart.'
The physical impact of the chemotherapy included pain 'coursing through my legs, neck and back' as well as fatigue - a sensation that also affected her mentally.
'As a person who likes to push myself to my limits, that really crushed me. All I wanted to do was lie in bed, but everything hurt the most when I was dormant — so I really had to push myself,' said Miranda.
She also had to deal with the psychological fallout of the hair loss caused by the chemotherapy, while continuing to conduct her college social life.
'My hair was such a huge part of my identity. I really love who I am, and I love connecting with new people - but I felt like I wasn’t able to show up as who I wanted them to see. It added so much insecurity. I hated going out to frat parties in a wig.'
She was able to lean on her friends who helped 'make sure my fake hairline was straight - and didn’t make my forehead look ginormous. But I just felt like I was in a totally different realm than the rest of my peers, and that was super isolating.'

'I really love who I am, and I love connecting with new people - but I felt like I wasn’t able to show up as who I wanted them to see,' she said: 'I hated going out to frat parties in a wig'
Miranda also found herself freezing her eggs ahead of her chemotherapy, which in some cases can render the patient infertile.
'That’s not something I ever thought I was going to have to do,' she confessed. 'But I wanted to give myself the option to have children in the future.'
She beat the cancer into remission by 2022, but her 'brain fog' only 'really lifted' in early 2023 as she began the second half of her junior year of college.
At that point, sporting a 'short little Euro bob,' she studied abroad for a semester in Rome and 'felt so free and back to myself and truly ready for things to just pick back up. I felt normal, which was all I could have asked for.'
She drew strength from her family and moved back to the East Coast after college because that is where they live.

Miranda revealed the 'little things that kind of ease my mind when I lay my head on the pillow' - her dogs Bodhi and Kona, plus surfing, beach strolls and Pilates.
She has a boyfriend she has described 'a really beautiful part of my life' and is looking ahead to a return to show business.
In order to be fully prepared to reenter the world of the entertainment industry, she is currently enrolled in acting classes at Julliard.
'There’s so much good happening in my life as a result of all the hardship. I've become acutely aware of the time that we have on this earth — and that’s something that I’m so grateful for,' she reflected.
After her cancer went into remission, Miranda posted a candid Instagram post confessing that during her treatments, she felt her body had become a 'ticking time bomb' that 'needed to be cured.'
However by March 2022, the time of her post, she was 'slowly reclaiming my body,' which she had come to regard as a 'shiny golden gift.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-13962635/anne-e-miranda-mckeon-mental-health-effects-cancer.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2024-10-15T18:17:56Z |
If you were a fan of the 2024 quarterback class, Week 6 was something special, as a whopping four rookie quarterbacks scored 20 or more fantasy points. Caleb Williams was the star of the show, of course, leading all QBs with 29.64 fantasy points, including four touchdowns through the air and 56 rushing yards to the joy of fantasy managers.
Unfortunately, most folks have already caught onto his fantasy relevance, so he's not accessible on most waiver wires. You might just find some surprise value, however, in New England in No. 3 pick Drake Maye or Broncos QB Bo Nix, both currently unrostered in more than half of Yahoo leagues.
Maye was the fourth rookie quarterback to make his NFL debut this past week, having an up-and-down outing where he posted 243 passing yards, 3 TDs and 2 INTs but saved his fantasy day with another 38 yards on the ground. Maye led the team in rushing, showcasing some of his athleticism which is a huge plus for fantasy managers. This week, the Patriots will travel overseas to London to face the Jacksonville Jaguars who just allowed a monster breakout game to Williams.
Nix is interesting, too, heading into Week 7 having scored 19+ fantasy points in three of the last four weeks, including 21+ fantasy points in each of the last two. Nix has been showcasing his mobility as well, with 47 or more rushing yards or a rushing touchdown in three of the last four games.
Find out where rookie Drake Maye, Nix and the rest of the quarterbacks slated to start fall in our team's Week 7 quarterback rankings:

An unearthed video of Rachel Reeves laying into the Tories for putting up National Insurance has come back to haunt the chancellor.
She and Keir Starmer have both repeatedly refused to rule out increasing the NI rate paid by employers in the forthcoming Budget.
But speaking in the Commons in 2021, Reeves, who was then shadow chancellor, said: “It is so worrying that at this crucial time, the prime minister and chancellor concocted a new jobs tax to arrive in the spring.
“Despite all of their election promises to cut National Insurance contributions, they’re actually raising them against the strong advice of business and trades unions.
“The Conservative government’s actions will make each new recruit more expensive and increase the costs to business.
“The decision to saddle employers and workers with a job tax takes money out of people’s pockets when our economic recovery is not yet established or secure, and only adds to the pressure on businesses after a testing year and a half.”
Labour’s election manifesto said: ”[We] will not increase taxes on working people, which is why we will not increase National Insurance, the basic, higher, or additional rates of income tax, or VAT.”
However, speaking on Monday, Reeves insisted that putting up the employers’ rate of NI would not break that pledge.
She said: “We are going to need to sort of close that gap between what government is spending and bringing in through tax receipts. But we are going to be a government that sticks to our manifesto commitments, including that one.”
Asked directly on Monday whether it would break the manifesto promise, the prime minister told the BBC: “It was very clear from the manifesto that what we were saying was we’re not going to raise tax for working people. And it wasn’t just the manifesto, we said it repeatedly in the campaign, and we intend to keep the promises that we made in our manifesto.”
Meanwhile, the chancellor today dropped another huge hint that taxes will rise in the Budget on October 30.
She told a cabinet meeting that “there would have to be difficult decisions on spending, welfare, and tax”.
A Labour spokesperson said: “The chancellor told cabinet the Budget would focus on putting the public finances on a strong footing and being honest with the British people about the scale of the challenge.” | https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/unearthed-video-of-reeves-criticising-tax-hike-resurfaces_uk_670e7e5de4b094567cfe4fb9 | 2024-10-15T18:17:59Z |

UK imposes sanctions on 'extremist localities' in the West Bank
The timing of the announcement is particularly significant, coinciding with the start of the olive harvest—a period traditionally associated with increased violence
In response to a significant escalation of violence, the United Kingdom has announced new sanctions targeting extremist Israeli localities and organizations in the West Bank.
This decision follows reports from the UN, which documented over 1,400 attacks on Jewish residents since October 2023. Foreign Secretary David Lammy characterized the situation as "horrific," emphasizing the urgent need for action.
The sanctions specifically target three illegal outposts—Tirzah Valley Farm, Meitarim, and Shuvi Eretz—as well as four organizations: Od Yosef Chai Yeshiva, Hashomer Yosh, Torat Lechima, and Amana. These entities are accused of facilitating, inciting, or supporting actions that severely undermine the rights of Palestinians.
Among the sanctioned organizations, Od Yosef Chai Yeshiva has garnered notoriety for promoting violence against non-Jews, while Amana is a construction company implicated in the establishment of illegal outposts. Lammy criticized the Israeli government's inaction on settler violence, stating, “The Israeli government must crack down on settler violence and stop the expansion of settlements on Palestinian land.” He underscored that as long as violent extremists remain unpunished, the UK and the international community will continue to take action.

Remote working is increasing security threats and is among the pressing issues driving SASE adoption globally
CHICAGO, IL, UNITED STATES, October 15, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- - 99% of organizations have experienced a security attack in the last 12 months.
- 44% of these attacks are a result of a remote or hybrid worker.
- 82% are struggling to recruit and retain specialist security skills.
Xalient, a global provider of expert advisory and managed services in identity, cybersecurity, and networking, has today released its global research report Why SASE is the Blueprint for Future-Proofing Your Network in 2025 and Beyond. The study found that 99% of organizations with 2000+ employees have experienced a security attack in the last 12 months, primarily as a result of remote, hybrid or roaming workers. The research, which was conducted by independent market research company, Opinion Matters, surveyed 700 IT, network and security leaders from organizations with 2,000+ employees from the UK, US & Canada, and Benelux. It finds that organizations are struggling to keep up with the evolving threat landscape and this is a primary driver for Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) adoption.
On the back of this, a key challenge facing respondents is finding, recruiting, and retaining specialist security skills to protect their organization from new and growing threats that impact the networks.
The driving factors behind SASE implementation
According to the report, nine out of ten organizations surveyed admitted that new cybersecurity threats are taking advantage of gaps in their network, while 45% agree that they struggle to enforce policies and deliver a consistent performance because they must lock down so much of their network. While this is considered a means to securing a network, it is not highly effective or efficient and, for this reason, many respondents opted for a SASE solution to improve their security and overcome performance issues. As such, security is a major concern that is driving SASE adoption.
According to respondents, further drivers for SASE adoption are addressing performance issues with business-critical SaaS apps (15%), securing remote access for the hybrid/remote workforce (14%), and addressing the rising cost of traditional network architecture (13%).
The benefits of SASE adoption
The benefits of SASE were many, with cited benefits ranging from enabling secure remote access for the hybrid and remote workforce, to secure cloud adoption and migration. However, the top benefit, experienced by 30% of organizations, was improved performance of business-critical SaaS apps. This was followed by updated threat protection without hardware and software upgrades (28%) and the third most common benefit was around improved security surrounding breaches with consistent policies (27%).
Single vendor vs Multi-vendor SASE
The research highlighted mixed assumptions about single vendor vs multi-vendor SASE solutions, with misalignment between the benefits organizations think they will derive from each SASE model.
While benefits of single vendor SASE solutions included a more predictable return on investment (ROI) owing to fewer point solutions (30%), greater economies of scale (25%) and tightly integrated components (25%), challenges with this approach included obtaining the control they need (26%), flexibility to introduce different vendors on a best-of-breed basis (26%) and these not being as effective and vendor lock-in (24%).
Likewise, with multi-vendor SASE solutions, while respondents perceived the controls to be better (25%), with more flexibility and enhanced security (27%), there were concerns around pricing which isn’t always clear (22%), with many admitting they would need a partner to help them manage multi-vendor SASE solutions (28%).
“It is encouraging to see that the key driver for organizations adopting SASE, namely security, is also considered one of the top three benefits that they have seen from implementing the solution,” said Stephen Amstutz, Director of Innovation at Xalient. “SASE, whether through a single vendor or multi-vendor approach, offers several key benefits to organizations and aims to provide a seamless user experience, optimized connectivity and comprehensive security.”
“However, as SASE covers both the network and security elements, it can often be challenging to select the right model for the organization, particularly for resource-stretched teams,” adds Amstutz. “To help overcome this, a good MSP can ease the selection process and ensure that they implement the right SASE solution for their business.”
Regardless of the approach, SASE adoption will continue to grow as organizations look for ways to close the security gaps that new and evolving threats present to the network – and make the network more resilient and performant to deliver a better user experience.

For instance, according to estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 273,272 children (age 17 or younger) were treated in emergency departments (EDs) in the US in 2016 for nonfatal traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) related to sports and recreation. It is estimated that 3.5 million children suffer injuries from sports-related incidents annually. Bicycling was the second riskiest sport, with about 417,000 injuries, while football and basketball were third and fourth, with 404,000 and 292,000 injuries, respectively. In addition, the increasing use of electrotherapy systems in treating sports injuries among professional athletes and sportsmen is thus another factor driving the market in North America.
Europe is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.43% during the forecast period. The rise in diabetes prevalence and the resulting increase in diabetic nerve pain are blamed for the market expansion. According to the World Health Organization, there are about 60 million diabetics in Europe (WHO). Diabetes is increasing in prevalence among people of all ages in the European region, primarily due to increased overweight and obesity, a poor diet, and sedentary lifestyles. In addition, the region's steadily rising cancer survivability rate and expanding geriatric population are also anticipated to contribute to the electrotherapy market's expansion. High healthcare spending is also expected to fuel the market's growth. According to a report released by the European Union, approximately 9.6% of the entire gross domestic product was spent on healthcare in European nations.

PARIS — (AP) — As Notre Dame gears up to reopen its doors in December, Paris is on the verge of a remarkable eco-revival, bringing nature back to the forefront of the City of Light.
Beyond restoring the cathedral's iconic spire and medieval charm, the city announced plans Tuesday to revamp Notre Dame's surroundings — to a tune of 50 million euros ($55 million) — into a serene, green oasis.
The project echoes a broader, post-Olympics eco-facelift that’s reshaping Paris from its historic monuments to its bustling avenues.
Among the key elements of this broader transformation are the revitalization of historic spaces like the Champs-Elysees and Place de la Concorde, a redesign aimed at reducing traffic around the Arc de Triomphe, and green promenades connecting the French capital's landmarks.
Here's a look at some of the eco plans for Paris in the coming years:
The reopening on Dec. 8 promises to be a historic moment for Paris, fulfilling President Emmanuel Macron’s vow made after the devastating 2019 fire for a five-year timeline. While the cathedral’s spire and oak-framed roof have been restored to their prefire glory, Paris City Hall's plans for the area around Notre Dame are bringing something new.
The ambitious, future-facing project will create 1,800 square meters (around 20,000 square feet) of green space and plant 160 trees, according to a news conference at City Hall that featured speeches from Paris officials, including mayor Anne Hidalgo on Tuesday.
Hidalgo stated that the redesign will integrate nature and the Seine more fully into the area. Hidalgo emphasized that this transformation aims “to better highlight our beautiful cathedral and do it justice, while respecting its history.”
The redesign includes transforming the underground parking area into a visitor space complete with services and amenities. Additionally, the Seine’s adjacent quays will be revitalized, offering a new promenade along the river. A belvedere will provide panoramic views of the Ile Saint-Louis and the Seine, further enhancing the visitor experience.
The project will unfold in two phases, with the first, focusing on the parvis and surrounding streets, expected to be completed by the end of 2027. The second phase, which will include the renovation of Square Jean-XXIII and other nearby areas, is set to finish by 2030.
At the heart of Paris, the Place de la Concorde — home to the 3,300-year-old Luxor Obelisk — will undergo a significant overhaul between 2026 and 2027.
Paris officials have enlisted the input of a dozen architectural experts to envision how to preserve its rich history, while aligning the plaza with the city’s modern green ambitions. Expect more greenery and less traffic as the revamp balances historical significance with a fresh eco-friendly design.
Not everything has been a picnic in Paris’s post-Olympics makeover.
Two of France’s most high-profile female politicians — Hidalgo and Culture Minister Rachida Dati — are engaged in a fierce battle over the future of the Eiffel Tower, casting a shadow over the city’s plans for its famed monument.
Hidalgo has proposed to keep the Olympic rings affixed to the Eiffel Tower beyond the Games, which ended in August. She argues that the rings symbolize the “festive spirit” of the successful Paris Olympics and wants them to remain at least until the next Summer Games in Los Angeles in 2028.
Critics, however, say Hidalgo is using the Eiffel Tower as a political billboard to boost her image before the 2026 mayoral election, in which she is expected to face off against Dati.
Dati has been vocal in opposing the plan, arguing that the tower is a protected heritage site and can't be altered without proper consultation. She has accused Hidalgo of using the monument as a “personal campaign poster,” while Hidalgo counters that the rings are a harmless tribute to Paris’ Olympic success.
Dati has gone further, launching an ultimatum to push for the Eiffel Tower to be classified as a full historical monument — something Hidalgo has resisted. This would add extra layers of bureaucratic protection and control, potentially thwarting Hidalgo’s plans.
Paris’ Champs-Elysees, sometimes called “the most beautiful avenue in the world,” is receiving a 30-million-euro facelift, beginning with the renovation of its sidewalks, tree bases, and gardens that began in preparation for the Olympics.
With 150 proposals to “re-enchant the Champs-Elysees” over the coming years, this project aims to add even more green spaces and revive its historic charm, reinforcing its reputation as the world’s most beautiful avenue.
Changes to the Arc de Triomphe’s bustling roundabout are designed to reduce traffic flow and calm the surrounding environment.
Traffic lanes encircling the famous monument will be trimmed, while the central ring will be widened, allowing for a quieter, more accessible space.
Leading from the Arc de Triomphe to the Bois de Boulogne, the Avenue de la Grande Armee is also getting the green treatment. Authorities plan to recreate a historic green promenade, transforming this major traffic artery into a lush, tree-lined boulevard that reconnects the avenue with the nearby forest, historically converted into a public park in the 19th century under Napoleon III.
Paris’ Louvre Museum, the world’s most visited, will undergo its own transformation under the “Louvre 2030” project.
Though specific details remain sparse, the project aims to address the growing influx of visitors, with a significant redesign of Place du Louvre planned to help manage the crowds and provide a more tranquil, green environment for visitors.

Her stunning appearance came on the first full day of Paris Fashion Week proceeding.
Kate and her daughter Lila are in Paris for the second and final Paris Fashion Week of the year, which kicked off on Monday.
On Monday the pair were seen together as they made a stylish arrival at the hotel ahead of the prestigious week of fashion.
Their arrival in the French capital comes after Lila recently reunited with her aunt Lottie Moss at the British Fashion Council and Burberry London Fashion Week closing party last week.
The pair looked happy while chatting at the star-studded event, held at The Roof Gardens in High Street Kensington.
Their catch-up came just days after Lottie reconciled with her supermodel sister and Lila's mother Kate - following three years of feuding.

Last month, Lila set pulses racing in a plunging black lace dress as she joined her famous mother Kate at Paris' Saint Laurent show
The reconciliation followed Lottie's reveal that at one point she had become so estranged from her family that even her own mother stopped talking to her.
The fall-out reportedly began when Lottie started stripping off for adult subscription website OnlyFans, after moving to Los Angeles in 2021.
It was a pivotal moment for the pair who have not been pictured together in years, with Lottie previously claiming Kate 'doesn't even reply to my texts '.
This is despite the sisters once being so close that Lottie was a bridesmaid at Kate's wedding and even moved into her Cotswolds mansion during the Covid pandemic . | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-13962805/Lila-Moss-Victorias-Secret-Fashion-New-York-City.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2024-10-15T18:18:03Z |

While we spent our Monday mornings preparing for the week ahead, a NASA spacecraft was setting off on a quest to explore Jupiter’s Europa moon to discover whether it could support life.
It launched from Florida’s Kennedy Space Center and will now make a five and a half year journey to reach to the Gas Giant’s moon.
The Europa Moon is icy, with a deep ocean beneath it, which gives scientists hope for the possibility of life there.
NASA said: “Scientists say we should look for three key ingredients that make life possible: liquid water, chemistry, and energy. Also, life takes time to develop. We should look for life on worlds where sufficient time has passed for life to get started.
“Jupiter’s icy moon Europa may have these essential ingredients and is as old as Earth. NASA is sending the Europa Clipper spacecraft to conduct a detailed exploration of Europa and investigate whether the icy moon, with its subsurface ocean, has the capability to support life.
“Understanding Europa’s habitability will help scientists better understand the potential for finding life beyond our planet and guide us in our search.”
What will the Europa Clipper do?
According to Ars Technica: “The voyage to Jupiter will span 1.8 billion miles (2.9 billion kilometres), taking the spacecraft by Mars next March, then back near Earth again in 2026.
“These flybys will use each planet’s gravity to slingshot Europa Clipper farther from the Sun, allowing the spacecraft to take aim on Jupiter.”
Then, on April 11th, 2030, the Europa Clipper will fire its engines for six to eight hours to brake into orbit around Jupiter. Then, the spacecraft will begin a series of 49 close encounters with Europa.
The craft will never actually land on the moon, the scientists were careful to point out, with Jordan Evans, the mission’s project manager at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory explaining: “We do get as close as 25 kilometers above the surface. That’s about 16 miles. These flybys cover both hemispheres of the moon and a variety of latitudes to get us near global coverage of the moon for the science instruments.”
How very exciting. Only 2,004 days to go. | https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/we-may-actually-discover-extraterrestrial-life-someday-soon_uk_670e63fde4b0c5b8c0af518d | 2024-10-15T18:18:05Z |
With Hurricane Milton now largely vanished from Florida’s shores, all that remains is the cleanup. And for entertainment giant Disney (DIS), the disruption turned out to be comparatively light. Investors breathed a sigh of relief and sent shares up fractionally in Monday afternoon’s trading. Disney parks were reopened as of Friday and were operating on “a normal schedule,” according to reports from CBS News.
Both the Disney Springs shopping center and the array of theme parks Disney operates in Florida were brought back online by Friday. More specifically, some of Disney was actually reopened and running by 7:30 a.m.
In addition, reports noted that power companies expect to have all of Florida completely restored by Tuesday, which is undoubtedly a welcome development for Floridians who spent the weekend without electricity.
A Bit of Rebuilding
Though Disney could successfully reopen many of its parks, it faced its share of challenges as well. An Instagram post from Dr. Mark Penning, vice president of animals, science, and environment at Disney, detailed some of what the animals—and their caregivers—endured during the storm. Not only did the animals need to be moved out of the path of the storm to safer locations, but their habitats also needed clearing and repair afterward.
Nevertheless, reports noted that several animals were successfully returned to their habitats at the Animal Kingdom Lodge following the storm.
Is Disney Stock a Buy or Hold?
Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Strong Buy consensus rating on DIS stock based on 15 Buys and four Holds assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After an 11.49% rally in its share price over the past year, the average DIS price target of $113.36 per share implies 19.45% upside potential.

Nature Cam PRO
Nature Cam PRO, the camera module at the core of the Smart Bird Feeder PRO, is the next progressive step in backyard birding technology. With best-in-class features, it delivers stunning 2K
HDR video quality, high-resolution 5MP photos, and a choice between close-up and wider view. The camera boasts a 100% larger image sensor than the first generation at 1/2.7", improved low-light performance, and enhanced energy efficiency. Additionally, HDR (High Dynamic Range) and slow-motion functionality capture high-speed bird activity with unrivalled detail, allowing users to see wildlife in ways never before possible.
Commenting on the launch of Nature Cam PRO, Bird Buddy CEO, Franci Zidar said:
"Nature Cam PRO lets us see birds in extraordinary detail-we can literally count the feathers. The video and image quality are unlike anything else on the market, and it's helping us admire and deepen our connection to nature. This is the next step in our mission to bring people closer to the wildlife in their own backyards."
"This launch follows hot on the heels of our app's recent update which unlocks higher video resolutions for all users and gives them more control over how much content they receive
from their Bird Buddy cameras, increasing the amount of delivered moments by up to 3x. All users can now also invite up to 10 guests to their feeders and block unwanted species from sending notifications which was previously only available to subscribers of the Bird Buddy Premium."
A key feature of Bird Buddy products is their modular design, enabling customers to customise their birdwatching setup. Current Bird Buddy users can upgrade their existing feeders by purchasing the Nature Cam PRO and seamlessly integrating it with their current housing units - the original Smart Bird Feeder and the more recent Smart Hummingbird Feeder. This modular approach allows users to enhance their bird watching experience without the need to buy a completely new feeder. Nature Cam PRO is available to US customers only, retailing at $149.
Bird Buddy invented the Smart Bird Feeder category in 2020, going on to successfully launch on Kickstarter to the tune of over $4m. Since then, around 300,000 units have been shipped worldwide, with subsequent new product launches including their Smart Hummingbird Feeder. Bird Buddy's Nature Cam PRO is their latest invention and best in market camera module for smart feeders. Bird Buddy's subscription service, for those enthusiasts who want more from their feeder, is now called Bird Buddy Premium.
Smart Bird Feeder PRO and Nature Cam PRO are available to order directly from Bird Buddy's online shop.

Jennifer Aniston has debuted in new photos for the brand she works with, Pvolve.
The 55-year-old siren flashed her very muscular arms as she modeled a plunging black bodysuit with a wide belt in images posted on Tuesday.
Her blonde hair was down and she looked like she just got a fresh tan in Malibu.
The size 0 workout enthusiast also shared a behind-the-scenes video where she was being filmed during a Pvolve workout.
At one point the sweaty Friends star was cooled down with what looked like a massive long-nosed fan that resembled a vacuum cleaner nozzle.
This comes after she revealed she is on the fad diet called the 16:8 Diet which involves intermittent fasting.
Jennifer Aniston has debuted in new photos for the brand she works with, Pvolve
The 55-year-old siren flashed her very muscular arms as she modeled a plunging black bodysuit with a wide belt in images posted on Tuesday
'A little BTS of the making of our new @pvolve campaign. Come work out with us!! ❤️' wrote The Morning Show actress in her caption on Tuesday.
Jennifer has said she does Pvolve five days a week.
Her workout regime is cardio intense, while she also attends 10-to-20 minute Pvolve classes.
Pvolve is a science-led workout method that combines low-impact functional fitness with resistance-based equipment, she has said.
That is how she stays a reported 117lbs at 5ft5in.
The Emmy winner talked to InStyle about how she has beaten her body up over the past 15 years in order to look Hollywood perfect but it has taken a toll on her.
While talking up her collaboration with fitness brand Pvolve, she said now her mindset around health has shifted.
That means she no longer does exercises that are 'too repetitive' - like being on a StairMaster for hours. 'When you're in a mindset of, "I need to do 45 minutes of cardio or I won't get a good workout," it's daunting,' she shared with the site. 'I believed it for so long. I just burnt out and broke my body.'
Sometimes she just worked out too hard. And a therapist had to point it out. 'My physical therapist gave me a Barbie doll that's covered in Kinesio tape,' she shared.
'It's a silly mental image until you realize the purpose of all that tape is 'to show every injury I've had in the last 15 years.'
Her blonde hair was down and she looked like she just got a fresh tan in Malibu
The size 0 workout enthusiast also shared a behind-the-scenes video where she was being filmed during a Pvolve workout. At one point the sweaty Friends star was cooled down with what looked like a massive long-nosed fan that resembled a vacuum cleaner nozzle
She also posed in this new image
How she cultivates the right workout vibe: 'I much prefer working out with friends,' she admitted.
'Doing your own workout by yourself, meh. If you get some good music going you can have fun, but I like to be guided. It's too easy for me to do things less correctly than I should.'
Turns out she jams to hip hop during her sweat session.
'It's hard for me to choose favorites. There are so many! I'm really into Lizzo right now, I love Rihanna, of course, and I love old-school '90s hip-hop.'
The Hollywood it girl started working with the program after hurting her back two years ago.
And she claims Pvolve helps 'strengthen and restore' her body through its on-demand classes. 'As we get into our lovely older periods, we have to keep it exciting. And we have to be kinder to our bodies,' the Friends vet told People this week.
And she has told her pals to get on it. 'I like to find something that really works and then share it with my girlfriends,' Aniston noted. 'If I had known about it 20 years ago when I was breaking my body to begin with, we would've saved so much pain.'
Aniston went to Pvolve founder Rachel Katzman to talk about working together to promote the program. 'I just want more people to know about it because I think it's so good,' the actress added.
This comes after she revealed she is on the fad diet called the 16:8 Diet which involves intermittent fasting
'I do intermittent fasting, so no food in the morning. I noticed a big difference in going without solid food for 16 hours,' she has said
In the new clip she put her arm around this model whom she worked out with
She says likes how the program is different. 'Our minds used to think, we have to hurt; no pain, no gain. It has to be an hour of a workout. You have to work out three times a day.
'With this, you can start gentle,' she explained. 'My girlfriend transformed her entire body, and it just had such a beautiful snowball effect in so many positive areas of her life.'
The star added, 'It was so user-friendly, you just start in little tiny chunks, tiny steps. And then next thing you know, you've done four 20-minute classes because you just want to keep going.'
This comes after she was seen leaving a plastic surgeon's office with pal Sandra Bullock in Connecticut. The center specializes in face lifts and nose jobs, though they also offer Botox and other injectables such as Kybella.
It is not known why the A-lister was there, but it did draw attention to how she keeps herself appearing so young.
While she has admitted to doing Botox in the past, she said it was not for her. Instead, she does Peptide Injections.
And for decades she has denied getting a nose job. In 2007 Aniston shared with People she had rhinoplasty for a deviated septum not to change the shape of her nose. 'Best thing I ever did... As far as all the other [rumors], as boring as it sounds, it's still mine. All of it.'
The star also does intermittent fasting, also called the 16:8 Diet.
Aniston had on a bra top and leggings as she used the black-and-white mat
In 2015, Aniston said that she was not a fan of injections. 'People think that I do a lot of (Botox) injections, but I don't,' began the Along Came Polly actress.
'I'm not saying that I haven't tried it but I see how it's a slippery slope.
'All that cosmetic stuff looks ridiculous on me,' she told Yahoo Beauty. 'And like we were saying before, they just start to lose perspective, it's their new normal, so it's a hard one to come back from.'
Last year the Bruce Almighty star again talked staying youthful looking during an interview with The Wall Street Journal. She said she tried a salmon sperm facial, though she admittedly isn't sure if it did anything for her skin.
Aniston then said she liked peptide injections. Peptides are strings of molecules called amino acids, which are the 'building blocks' of proteins. Peptides are basically short proteins that are about 2-100 amino acids long. Peptide supplements may have anti-aging, muscle growth, and fat loss benefits, according WebMD.
Last year Jennifer said she loves a 'cheat day' and will sip on a dirty martini cocktail when the mood takes her.
The Emmy winner is committed to a healthy and holistic lifestyle and follows a high-protein, low-carb and low-sugar diet.
Aniston will reward herself with cheat days when she wants to enjoy her favorite foods and drinks.
Last year she was seen doing Pvolve at her Bel Air mansion; seen on a mat
Her alcoholic tipple of choice is the martini mix, which is made with gin and vermouth and garnished with an olive or a lemon twist.
A source told Us Weekly magazine: 'Jen's meals are rich in protein with a healthy amount of carbs, and she also indulges in treats and cheat days.
'If she wants to enjoy a dirty martini or tequila, she'll splurge. It's no big deal.'
When it comes to relaxing, The Morning Show star practices meditation and makes sure she gets plenty of fresh air with her pet dogs.
The source added: 'She meditates, and loves hikes with her dogs.'
Jen is said to not be worried about ageing and has no interest in cosmetic procedures and instead wants to focus on being 'healthy and happy' as she continues to grow as a woman.
The insider spilled: 'Jen feels fine about getting older. For her, it's about being healthy and happy as she can be.'
While she has admitted to doing Botox in the past, she said it was not for her. Instead, she does Peptide Injections. And for decades she has denied getting a nose job. The star also has an intense daily workout routine does intermittent fasting. Seen in Just Go With It in 2011
Aniston in February 2024; she is still on the A-list in Hollywood
Aniston has been able to maintain her incredible shape even as she has settled into her 50s.
In April 2022, the Morning Show actress shared with First For Women magazine how she is able to look so youthful even as she works full time on her acting career and heads up companies like LolaVie Haircare.
The 5ft5in cover girl admitted that she keeps her diet in check by starting her day off with warm lemon water and she also takes climbing classes on her stair climber. But the best part of her day is the time she sets aside to meditate, she said.
In the section titled Curbs Cravings: Breakfast With A Twist, the blonde beauty said: 'During quarantine I loved cooking.'
The Cake actress added: 'When I wake up I have warm lemon water, then a shake or avocado and eggs. I found ways to make eggs every which way.'
The ex-wife of Oscar-winning actor Brad Pitt then shared: 'But I also do oatmeal with an egg white whipped in. Do it right before the oatmeal is finished cooking - it gives extra protein and this fluffy texture that's delicious.'
In an interview with Radio Times, Aniston revealed that intermittent fasting (IF) has changed her life.
She practices a version of IF called the 16:8 diet.
'I do intermittent fasting, so no food in the morning. I noticed a big difference in going without solid food for 16 hours.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-13962811/Jennifer-Aniston-55-models-bodysuit.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2024-10-15T18:18:09Z |

The Monkey: NEON Releases Trippy First Trailer For King Adaptation
NEON released the first footage from Stephen King adaptation The Monkey. It hits theaters on February 21st.
Article Summary
- NEON unveils a trippy first trailer for Stephen King's adaptation, The Monkey.
- The Monkey, directed by Osgood Perkins, hits theaters February 21, 2025.
- Star-studded cast includes Theo James, Tatiana Maslany, and Elijah Wood.
- Blends horror and arthouse vibes, promises to join NEON's horror success streak.
The Monkey has its first footage out, as NEON has released the first full trailer for the Stephen King adaptation. This film will star Theo James (The White Lotus), Tatiana Maslany (She-Hulk: Attorney at Law), Elijah Wood (The Lord Of The Rings), Christian Convery (Sweet Tooth), Colin O'Brien (Wonka), Rohan Campbell (The Hardy Boys) and Sarah Levy (Schitt's Creek), and is being produced by James Wan. Osgood Perkins writes and directs, reteaming with the studio after the wildly successful release of Longlegs earlier this year.
The Monkey Is In Good Hands
"When twin brothers Hal and Bill discover their father's old monkey toy in the attic, a series of gruesome deaths start occurring all around them. The brothers decide to throw the monkey away and move on with their lives, growing apart over the years. But when the mysterious deaths begin again, the brothers must reunite to find a way to destroy the monkey for good before it takes the lives of everyone close to them." Here is the new poster for the film, released over the weekend, which has one of the cheekier taglines you have seen this year on it. Seriously, even our editor here at BC forbade us from putting it in the featured image of this article. Naughty NEON.
I can't say that I have read this story, but I can say that this is a fantastic cast. Perkins made a name for himself this summer with the success of Longlegs, so The Monkey is going to be poised to be one of the breakout hits of the winter for sure. NEON is making a ton of noise in the horror space, and you better believe this will continue that trend. This first footage looks absolutely insane, like an arthouse version of Final Destination, and that is a mix I can get behind.
The Monkey will be released in theaters on February 21, 2025. | https://bleedingcool.com/movies/neon-first-footage-the-monkey-osgood-perkins-february/ | 2024-10-15T18:18:11Z |
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.

Hebrew SeniorLife and Dorchester Bay Economic Development Corporation Joint Effort
BOSTON, Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Hebrew SeniorLife, along with partner Dorchester Bay Economic Development Corporation, celebrated the opening of its newest community, Leyland Community , with a ribbon-cutting celebration at the Dorchester location.
The Upham's Corner community offers 43 senior apartments with service-enriched affordable housing. It utilizes Hebrew SeniorLife's Right Care, Right Place, Right Time Initiative (R3), which integrates wellness teams into senior housing communities.
Many state, local, and private partners, including Massachusetts Housing Investment Corporation, Massachusetts Housing Partnership, Eastern Bank, Rockland Trust, and LISC Massachusetts, as well as the design and construction teams, were integral to the project's success.
Among the many friends, neighbors, community organizations, and government officials who joined the celebration were representatives from State Senator Liz Miranda, the Massachusetts Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities, the Massachusetts Executive Office of Elder Affairs, the Boston Age Strong Commission, the Boston Housing Authority, and the Mayor's Office of Housing.
Resident Lana Andrews, who joined other residents in helping to cut the ceremonial ribbon, shared her perspective: "This is a wonderful building. I am so blessed to have a chance to live here at Leyland Community." She noted that the big picture window in her fifth-floor apartment, which overlooks the Boston skyline, is perfect for all her plants. She also thanked each staff member by name for creating such a wonderful community.
"Hebrew SeniorLife was founded 121 years ago in 1903, and we were founded right here in Dorchester, and we have been excited from day one at the prospect of returning to where it all started and to be able to be part of this community with our wonderful partners at Dorchester Bay Economic Development Corporation," said Hebrew SeniorLife President and CEO Louis J. Woolf.
"Dorchester Bay EDC is proud of our work with Hebrew SeniorLife to create the first affordable housing in Upham's Corner, which will ensure that seniors who have given so much to our community will have the ability to age in place," said Dorchester Bay Economic Development Corporation CEO Kimberly R. Lyle.
Leyland Community residents have access to a full range of support from Hebrew SeniorLife, including service coordination, wellness, and health programs, and staff who help them continue to thrive in their community.
Hebrew SeniorLife is committed to helping people age in the neighborhoods where they raised families, built businesses, and created vibrant communities. It recently completed the expansion of the Simon C. Fireman Community in Randolph, construction is nearly finished on a new building at Center Communities of Brookline, and a new affordable senior housing community in Stoughton is in the planning stages.

Fat Joe admits to using Ozempic after dramatic 200lb weight loss

Fat Joe has revealed Ozempic was responsible for his dramatic 200lbs weight loss.
The All The Way Up star, 54, who first revealed his shock transformation in July 2023, said a combination of the celebrity-favorite weight loss drug and cutting carbohydrates from his diet enabled him to drop the weight.
He told US Weekly: 'Ozempic says you may only have two pieces of your favorite stuff.'
The star did not reveal how long he had been taking the drug for.
He added: 'We just try to eat everything with the least carbs as possible. So we try to stay away from the bread, the pasta, the rice. That’s the smartest way to eat.

'Like this morning I ate breakfast, I had this toast. I cut the corner off, ate it and kept it moving. Normally I would’ve ate [sic] the whole thing. But you know, that’s what we do. We cut carbs and try to be smarter.'
He also revealed his wife of 29 years Lorena Cartagena misses his bigger frame as she 'likes me being a big boy.'
Last year the star revealed his weight loss had helped him get his diabetes under control and has given him a whole new outlook on life.
He started his journey to a healthier weight and mindset more than 20 years ago when his friend and fellow rapper Big Pun died of a heart attack in 2000 at age 29, but only really started making big progress with his weight loss journey recently.
'I went to his funeral and I felt like Ebenezer Scrooge. Like, I seen me. And I'm looking at his little daughter. She was the same age as my daughter. I said, 'You gotta lose weight; otherwise you outta here,'' the Another Round rapper told Men's Health.
The outlet asked him if he planned on changing his name now that the adjective fat no longer applies to him.
He said he briefly considered changing his stage name to Slim Joe or something similar but in the end opted not to.
'Although I've gotten health conscious on another level, it wouldn't make sense to change it. Now it's my brand. It's what I built,' he said.

The What's Luv singer also spoke to the outlet about the depression he's battled for his entire life, calling his mind, 'The most complex Rubik's Cube you could ever, ever, ever, ever try to figure out. And so you battling that every day.'
He continued: 'When you're fighting yourself, there isn't a wall high enough that you can build. There isn't an island you can go to. There isn't a place you can go to where you get away from it, because you're fighting your mind.
You wake up, and then the minute you think about it, your brain sends you a message to say, 'We're not supposed to be happy.' And then you fall right back into depression,' he explained.
And one he figured out how his body processed different types of food, revealing that his parents still cooked with lard and drank whole milk, he also unlocked the key to fighting his depression.
'Your body's just a computer. It reads stuff you eat in different ways,' he said.
And once he got his weight under control, he no longer had to inject insulin as he had been doing since he was diagnosed with diabetes at age 12.
After a period of pretty bad depression, he figured out that, 'Once you snap out of it, you should know what brings you there and to run the other way. The minute I feel unhappy, I go toward happy.'
He explained how a conversation with one of his drivers left him feeling like 'Slim Joe' was a disappointment to his bigger fans.
'Steve is a big boy. And he said, "Man, you always fly, Joe. All the big boys, you gave us confidence and made us think that big was fly. You Fat Joe. Then out of nowhere, you start losing weight." | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-13962917/fat-joe-ozempic-dramatic-weight-loss.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2024-10-15T18:18:17Z |

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:

Governor Dauda Lawal has swears in Bala Aliyu Gusau as the chairman of the Zamfara State Independent Electoral Commission (ZASIEC).
The move is as part of Lawal’s administration’s preparations for the forthcoming local government election as the tenure of the local government sole administrators ends on October, 23rd this year.
The swearing-in ceremony was held during the State Executive Council meeting at the council chamber of the Government House, Gusau.
The statement added that the chairman of the Zamfara State Independent Electoral Commission (ZASIEC) was sworn in by Chief Judge, Justice Kulu Aliyu, represented by Justice Mukhtar Yusha’u, at the instance of the Executive Council.
A statement by the governor’s spokesperson, Sulaiman Bala Idris, says the current administration is committed to ensuring a local government poll that will be accepted by all.
During the executive Council meeting, Governor Lawal informed members that his participation at the 79th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) was valuable, noting that it would yield positive results in his administration’s efforts to improve the lives and wellbeing of the people of Zamfara.
The governor said he signed the Zamfara State Electoral Law amendments a few weeks ago following the upcoming local government election.
He said: “Based on the Supreme Court’s recent judgment concerning Local Government elections, we needed to conduct elections in our local government councils.
“Accordingly, with the signing of the amended law, the State Independent Elections Commission will announce the election timetable as soon as possible so that we will have democratically elected local government councils in Zamfara State.
“The Zamfara State Independent Electoral Council (ZASIEC) is to come up with guidelines and modalities on the elections, and it is expected that we all will give the necessary support and cooperation towards the success of the exercise.”
Furthermore, during the council meeting, Governor Lawal instructed the Secretary to the State Government to work with the Deputy Governor to promptly arrange the inauguration of the Zamfara State Investment Promotion Agency (ZIPA) Board so that it can operate effectively.
The governor also informed the council that the state is ready to start the cash transfer component of NG-Cares.
“The transfers will support the vulnerable poor, unemployed youth and women across the 14 local government areas of the state. A total sum of about N4.9bn will be expended.
“The beneficiaries would be 5000 poor and vulnerable households; Labour intensive public workfare (LIPW) to 6000 unemployed youths and women; Lively support grants (LG) to 8000 economically active youths and women.
“The principle of fairness and justice must guide the nominations to all peoples in our constituencies.” He said.

Governor Dauda Lawal has swears in Bala Aliyu Gusau as the chairman of the Zamfara State Independent Electoral Commission (ZASIEC).
The move is as part of Lawal’s administration’s preparations for the forthcoming local government election as the tenure of the local government sole administrators ends on October, 23rd this year.
The swearing-in ceremony was held during the State Executive Council meeting at the council chamber of the Government House, Gusau.
The statement added that the chairman of the Zamfara State Independent Electoral Commission (ZASIEC) was sworn in by Chief Judge, Justice Kulu Aliyu, represented by Justice Mukhtar Yusha’u, at the instance of the Executive Council.
A statement by the governor’s spokesperson, Sulaiman Bala Idris, says the current administration is committed to ensuring a local government poll that will be accepted by all.
During the executive Council meeting, Governor Lawal informed members that his participation at the 79th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) was valuable, noting that it would yield positive results in his administration’s efforts to improve the lives and wellbeing of the people of Zamfara.
The governor said he signed the Zamfara State Electoral Law amendments a few weeks ago following the upcoming local government election.
He said: “Based on the Supreme Court’s recent judgment concerning Local Government elections, we needed to conduct elections in our local government councils.
“Accordingly, with the signing of the amended law, the State Independent Elections Commission will announce the election timetable as soon as possible so that we will have democratically elected local government councils in Zamfara State.
“The Zamfara State Independent Electoral Council (ZASIEC) is to come up with guidelines and modalities on the elections, and it is expected that we all will give the necessary support and cooperation towards the success of the exercise.”
Furthermore, during the council meeting, Governor Lawal instructed the Secretary to the State Government to work with the Deputy Governor to promptly arrange the inauguration of the Zamfara State Investment Promotion Agency (ZIPA) Board so that it can operate effectively.
The governor also informed the council that the state is ready to start the cash transfer component of NG-Cares.
“The transfers will support the vulnerable poor, unemployed youth and women across the 14 local government areas of the state. A total sum of about N4.9bn will be expended.
“The beneficiaries would be 5000 poor and vulnerable households; Labour intensive public workfare (LIPW) to 6000 unemployed youths and women; Lively support grants (LG) to 8000 economically active youths and women.
“The principle of fairness and justice must guide the nominations to all peoples in our constituencies.” He said. | https://www.tvcnews.tv/2024/10/lawal-swears-in-siec-boss-expresses-readiness-for-lg-polls/ | 2024-10-15T18:18:20Z |
Now that the threat of Hurricanes Helene and Milton has receded, millions of homeowners and business-owners across Florida and the Southeastern U.S. are faced with traversing the often long and laborious process of using insurance to rebuild their lives.
“You’re just traumatized when you have these losses. At some point, you’re just glad you’re alive,” said Don Hornstein, an insurance law expert at the University of North Carolina. “And then you have to turn to the business side of this. It’s tough.”
Helene was a Category 4 storm that first struck Florida's Gulf Coast on September 26, dumped trillions of gallons of rain and left a trail of destruction for hundreds of miles across several states. At least 246 people have died in what is now the deadliest hurricane to hit the mainland U.S. since Katrina, according to statistics from the National Hurricane Center.
Two weeks later, Hurricane Milton swept across Florida, killing at least 11 people. The Category 3 storm destroyed coastal communities, tore apart homes, filled streets with mud and spawned a barrage of deadly tornadoes.
The combined private insured losses from the two hurricanes could reach $55 billion, according to risk management firm Moody’s RMS.
Immediately after disasters like these, property insurance is likely not top of mind as people secure their safety and basic needs, but insurance claims are part of the process of resetting. Many buy the policies in hope they can help protect them when disaster strikes. But oftentimes insurance doesn't cover what the policy holder thinks it does — or thinks it should.
Rhoda Moehring, who turns 86 this month, says she doesn’t have a lot of faith that insurance companies will help her salvage the flooded rental homes she owns in the river town of Steinhatchee in Florida’s Big Bend.
“I usually get zip with these things,” Moehring said. ”‘Was I insured for that?’ ‘No, sorry, you weren’t.’ And it goes on and on. So I don’t put a whole lot of confidence in it.”
Moehring said she wasn’t sure about the details of her insurance policies and she’ll be relying on her son to help her navigate the claims process.
Here are some steps home and business owners should keep in mind when filing an insurance claim after a natural disaster.
After the immediate emergency response, the first thing a homeowner or business owner should do is call their insurance agent or broker. The deadline to file a claim is generally about 60 days from the date of loss.
There are different types of policies that insure against damage. In the initial call, first focus on thoroughly understanding your policy, including coverage limits, deductibles and exclusions, so that you can do a rough calculation of what is covered and what deductibles are at play to decide if you should file a claim, experts said.
Many policies have payouts in complicated percentage formulas. For example, if your roof is damaged, your policy may spell out different deductibles depending on the roofing material, the age of the roof and even the wind speed from the damage event, and the percentage paid out may be based on the insured value versus the cost of replacement, said Amy Bach, executive director of the consumer advocacy group United Policyholders.
Homeowners should weigh their options, as a minor payout may not be worth the long-term ding on your claims history. That’s especially true if you don’t have flood insurance, as the average home insurance policy covers wind damage but generally doesn’t cover flood damage.
While Helene was primarily a flood event, there may be disputes over what is or isn’t “wind-driven rain” from Milton. Hornstein said the line between wind and water is a thin but very clear line that technical experts can determine. Should there be a proverbial tie, the law favors the insurance company.
“If the house was simultaneously destroyed by flood and, concurrently (by) wind, it’s not covered by private insurance,” Hornstein said.
Business owners should also check to see if they have business income or business interruption insurance, which covers the loss of income and other costs like expenses, salaries, or rent when a business is forced to close.
To file a claim, keep track of and document everything. Before and after photos and videos are ideal to jog your memory of what's been lost and for proof to help bolster settlement claims. For business owners, keeping a record of costs that are incurred after the hurricane is important too.
“You may have evacuation costs, you may have business shut down interruption costs, you may have housing costs, you may have additional expenses that are unusual to your business," said Steve Powell, executive vice president of property and catastrophe for claims management firm Sedgwick.
Once a claim is filed, the insurance company’s adjuster will come to survey the damage, typically within a few days if conditions allow. Be responsive to adjusters and make sure they see (and document) the damage that you see.
While it’s easy to get frustrated, adjusters are likely stressed too, said Lawrence White, an economics professor at the NYU Stern School of Business.
“To the maximum extent possible, try not come across as angry. Try to come across as reasonable,” White said.
If there’s disagreement or concern about the accuracy or fairness of the adjuster’s report from the insurance company, property owners can consider hiring a public adjuster for a second opinion. Their own adjuster can then lead the negotiations with the insurance company. First, however, owners should be aware of the fees the public adjuster charges and check their references.
“The insurance companies have totally the upper hand and when there’s a public adjuster, it does level the playing field a lot for the consumer having someone who speaks insurance and speaks damage," Bach said.
Be aware of the deadlines for accepting a payment offer or filing an appeal with the insurance company.
Once you agree to an insurance payout, know that you can update the claim if more damage is discovered during the repairs though there may be deadlines for how long a homeowner has to reopen a claim.
If the back-and-forth with the insurance company drags on, you may consider hiring an attorney to reach a settlement as a last resort. A dispute that ends up in arbitration could stretch out for a year or more.
About 90% of all insurance claims are settled without escalating into a court fight, said Charles Nyce, a professor of risk management and insurance at Florida State University’s College of Business.
For those with little or no insurance, there are government programs that can assist. The application process is similar to insurance claims: Contact the agency, determine eligibility and file an application.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency offers grants for home repair or replacement for applicants who meet certain conditions. The Department of Housing and Urban Development also offers certain grants that are available for hurricane survivors. And the Small Business Administration offers low-interest loans to renters, homeowners, business owners, and non-profits that suffered losses due to disasters. However, the government has warned that the SBA is running out of money to fund these loans unless its coffers are replenished by Congress.

Posted in: Disney+, Netflix, TV | Tagged: agatha all along, Heartstopper, WandaVision
Heartstopper Creator Oseman Had Joe Locke/Wiccan Vision Back in 2017
It appears that Heartstopper creator Alice Oseman had early visions of Joe Locke (Agatha All Along) as Billy Maximoff/Wiccan - back in 2017?
One of the things that we love about covering pop culture – television, in particular – is the fun (and sometimes not-so-fun) ways that paths end up crossing in ways that you never saw coming. If you're reading this, then chances are you're a fan of Joe Locke – and you have every reason to be a fan. Along with killing it as Charlie, alongside Kit Connor's Nick in Showrunner and original graphic novel series creator Alice Oseman's Heartstopper (with all three seasons now streaming on Netflix), Locke has been making headlines for his turn as Teen in Jac Schaeffer's Kathryn Hahn-starring Agatha All Along. Well, at least he was known as "Teen" until last week's episode, "Darkest Hour / Wake Thy Power" (directed by Rachel Goldberg and written by Laura Monti).
During the game-changing chapter, Teen (Joe Locke) confronts Agatha (Hahn) over some seriously fatal stuff that had just gone down, with the two getting into a nasty exchange. Agatha crosses a line when she drops this on Teen: "You're so much like your mother." That wasn't taken too well – with Teen showing that he's got a whole lot of blue magic raging inside of him after all. Soon, Agatha, Lilia (Patti LuPone), and Jen (Sasheer Zamata) are being left to drown in the sentient mud as Teen looks on as a blue crown appears on his head – one with more than a striking resemblance to what his mother, Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen), aka Scarlet Witch, previously wore. Yup, Locke's "Teen" is Billy Maximoff, confirming a whole lot of speculation while opening up a whole mess load of questions that need to be answered.
It also created a very cool and unexpected crossover – as we mentioned earlier. With Locke as Billy, there is always the possibility that he will become Wiccan in the live-action MCU as he did in the comics (as part of Young Justice). That works nicely for a whole lot of Heartstopper viewers who are big fans of Charlie and Nick, even creating fan art showing Locke and Connor as Wiccan and Hulkling, Billy's love and teammate. I don't think we need to tell you how last week's "Agatha" reveal has only fueled fans' desires for Connor to take on the role of Hulkling – but here's where it gets even weirder in a very cool way. It turns out that Oseman has visions of Locke/Charlie and Connor/Nick as Wiccan and Hulkling shared a look – back in 2019 – at some of her artwork depicting the two as the popular Marvel Comics characters. In fact, the Heartstopper creator adds that the artwork dates from 2017 – five years before the Netflix series and a whole eight years before last week's big reveal. Spooky, right?
During WandaVision, we learn that Tommy (Jett Klyne) and Billy (Julian Hilliard) were created by Wanda as part of the sitcom world Westview that she created – along with resurrecting Vision (Paul Bettany). With Billy, Wanda had a son whose powers were similar to hers – except Billy's magic was blue as compared to Wanda's red magic. Tommy and Billy were 13 years old when Wanda finally lifted the spell on Westview, resulting in the brothers and Vision disappearing. With Agatha All Along taking place three years after the original series, the timelines would seem to line up – and we've gotten clues along the way, like the reference to Teen being "originally" born in Eastview and that "a lot happened" to him when he was 13 years old (ages lining up). Could Teen/Billy be looking for a way to bring his mother back after things went really, really bad in Marvel Studios' Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness? More importantly, though – what happened to Billy between WandaVision and now? It looks like this week's episode (check out the trailer above) will be filling in some of the backstory. | https://bleedingcool.com/tv/heartstopper-creator-oseman-had-joe-locke-wiccan-vision-back-in-2017/ | 2024-10-15T18:18:25Z |
Two suspects have been arrested in a mass shooting that left one person dead and nine injured near a Tennessee State University homecoming football game event over the weekend, including one alleged shooter who was carrying a high-powered assault-type rifle when he was caught, authorities said.
Both men were arrested on charges of murder, according to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department.
The suspects in the shooting near the Nashville, Tennessee, college were identified as Marquez Davis and DeAnthony Brown, both 24 years old, according to police, which released photos of the pair following their arrests.
Davis and Brown were taken into custody Monday night at a short-term rental property close to where Saturday's shooting erupted, according to police. Davis was allegedly carrying an assault-style rifle with a loaded extended magazine at the time of his arrest, authorities said.
In April, Davis was convicted of robbery, felony gun possession and felony drug possession charges, according to police. He received a 10-year probated sentence to the Community Corrections Program, according to the Nashville police.
"The shooters had no regard for human life and put a crowd of innocent persons, including children, in extreme danger. The entire criminal justice system must treat violent gun crime with the seriousness it demands with resulting incarceration for those convicted," Police Chief John Drake said in a statement following the arrests.
The shooting unfolded around 5 p.m. local time at an off-campus homecoming celebration event, several blocks east of the Tennessee State campus.
The shooting left a 24-year-old man dead, police said. Of the nine people injured, three were juveniles ranging in age from 12-14 years old, police said.
An exchange of gunfire erupted between two groups of people, according to police.
Five victims were taken to local hospitals via ambulance. Five others were transported by private vehicle, according to police.
Officials believe that some of those injured and hospitalized are suspected of being involved in the gunfire, but most were innocent bystanders, police said.
Injuries range from minor to critical, with some victims sustaining graze wounds, according to police.
A handgun was recovered at the scene, officials said.
The investigation is ongoing and police said more arrests are expected.
The shooting broke out about an hour before the kickoff of the homecoming game between Tennessee State and Eastern Illinois University at Nashville's Nissan Stadium, several miles from the university.

Superman: James Gunn Introduces Krypto for #AdoptAShelterDog Month
In honor of #AdoptAShelterDog Month, Superman writer/director James Gunn introduced us to Krypto and shared his real-life "origin story."
As far as we're concerned, this is the biggest update we've gotten from Superman writer/director James Gunn regarding the David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan-starring film – set to hit screens next summer. Earlier today, Gunn posted a look at Corenswet's Superman sitting side-by-side with none other than Krypto – with Gunn confirming that the good pup will be appearing in the film (with powers) and how he was inspired by his own dog, Ozu.
"Krypto arrives on screens in Superman this summer. Krypto was inspired by our dog Ozu, who we adopted shortly after I started writing Superman. Ozu, who came from a hoarding situation in a backyard with 60 other dogs & never knew human beings, was problematic to say the least. He immediately came in & destroyed our home, our shoes, our furniture – he even ate my laptop. It took a long time before he would even let us touch him. I remember thinking, 'Gosh, how difficult would life be if Ozu had superpowers?' – and thus Krypto came into the script & changed the shape of the story as Ozu was changing my life. What better time to debut the not-so-good-good-boy Krypto than #AdoptAShelterDog Month. Btw, Ozu today, is, fairly often, a very good boy. #Superman," wrote Gunn in his Instagram post, offering us a look at The Man of Steel and Krypto enjoying some time together and more.
Here's a look at Gunn's post, followed by a whole lot more of what we know about the feature film so far:
Superman "Very Loyal" to Comics But Has "James Gunn Twist": Merced
Checking in with Josh Horowitz and his Happy Sad Confused podcast last week, Isabela Merced (Hawkgirl) had a message to share with fans out there who have been wondering what they can expect from Gunn's efforts. "The whole movie is very loyal to the comic books but with a James Gunn twist. I really think it's funny, it's clever, it's heartwarming…at least, that was my experience on set. Obviously, things can change in the editing room but… God, I loved James," Merced shared, explaining how Gunn created a set environment that allowed the actors "room to get excited, have faith in it, and relax into the role."
Merced continued, "He's so prepared. I could exhale on set and didn't need to worry about exhaling after because James is one of those people who knows exactly what he wants, will stop at nothing to get it, has a shot list, communicates with his team, and they're all prepared when they get there because they've worked with him for twenty plus years." The actress added, "When somebody is in charge and on it, you have room to get excited, have faith in it, and relax into the role. That was the loveliest part of that experience."
DC Studios' Superman stars David Corenswet (Hollywood) as Superman/Clark Kent and Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) as Lois Lane. In addition, the Superman: Legacy cast includes Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Nicholas Hoult (The Great) as Lex Luthor, Wendell Pierce (HBO's The Wire) as Perry White, Isabela Merced (Sicario: Day of the Soldado) as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi (X-Men: First Class) as Mister Terrific, Nathan Fillion (The Rookie) as Green Lantern Guy Gardner, Anthony Carrigan (Barry) as Metamorpho, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, María Gabriela de Faría as Angela Spica/The Engineer, Sean Gunn as Maxwell Lord, Pruitt Taylor Vince (Murder One, Lady in the Lake) as Jonathan Kent/"Pa Kent," and Neva Howell (Ghosts of the Ozarks) as Martha Kent/"Ma Kent."
Joining them are Beck Bennett (Saturday Night Live) as Daily Planet sports editor Steve Lombard, Mikaela Hoover (Guardians of the Galaxy, The Suicide Squad) as Daily Planet gossip columnist Cat Grant, and Christopher McDonald as skilled Daily Planet reporter Ron Troupe – with Frank Grillo's Rick Flag Sr. (from Creature Commandos and Peacemaker Season 2) set to appear, along with Alan Tudyk in an undisclosed role. Composer John Murphy (28 Days Later, Sunshine, Kick-Ass, The Suicide Squad, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3) will score the film. | https://bleedingcool.com/tv/superman-james-gunn-introduces-krypto-for-adoptashelterdog-month/ | 2024-10-15T18:18:31Z |

Welcome to Week 7 of the fantasy football season, kicker fans! With another week of the season under our belts, we're continuing to learn more about the landscape of the kicker position.
While Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey — the top kicker off draft boards this year — ranks No. 1 on the year averaging 13.7 fantasy points per game, one surprising name has emerged as a viable weekly flex play: Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell, available in 50% of Yahoo leagues.
Through six weeks, Boswell is tied for the second-most field goal attempts in the league (17), including six kicks good from 50+ yards. In Week 7, the Steelers are set to host the New York Jets on "Sunday Night Football" — a matchup currently allowing the third-most fantasy points per game to opposing kickers.
Could one of Week 7's top streaming options be available in your league? Find out where Boswell landed in our team's Week 7 kicker rankings;

The Italian was a surprise hire by the club in the summer, given he had only spent a year as a head coach at Championship side Leicester City (earning them Premier League promotion).
Now that Maresca has made an impressive start to life as a Blue, the duo are happy with their choice.
They stated to The Telegraph that Maresca “has got the personality to manage this club.”
“Enzo was somebody we admired and were keen to bring here,” said Winstanley.
“We were really excited by the way he works, aligned with the club and the playing squad, how it’s set up to move forwards. And we absolutely see him here for the long term, that’s definitely how we see it.
“He’s got the personality to manage this club and coach this team, and he’s got a strong belief in the playing style, as we have. And that’s translating to the pitch, it’s translating to the players. The players have got a belief in that. So, none of us are surprised that he’s grasped it quite quickly, but it’s early days and we’ve got to keep that momentum going.”
Stewart said: “As Paul said, we do see it for the long term. He has a five-year contract, that’s what Enzo signed and now he needs a period of time to work with the group and continue to confirm his ideas about his way of playing and for the players to understand that. It’s still very early days.” | https://www.tribalfootball.com/article/soccer-premier-league-chelsea-co-sporting-directors-surprised-that-maresca-has-grasped-manager-role-so-quickly-b93ede13-11d5-448f-a791-f8fc811d17b2 | 2024-10-15T18:18:33Z |

The Transmission Company of Nigeria says that the national grid experienced a partial disturbance, on Monday, 14th October, 2024 at about 6:48pm and notes that efforts to fully recover the grid is still ongoing.
Although the recovery of the grid commenced immediately, with Azura power station providing the blackstart, grid recovery reached advanced stages at about 10.24am, today when it encountered a challenge that caused a slight setback in the recovery process.
The slight setback notwithstanding, TCN continued with the grid recovery process, which has reached an advanced stage, ensuring bulk power availability to about 90% of its substations nationwide. Supply has been restored to the Abuja axis and other major distribution load centers nationwide.
The partial disturbance did not affect the Ibom Gas generating station which was islanded from the grid yesterday, and continued to supply areas in the South Southern part of the country such as Eket, Ekim, Uyo, and Itu 132kV transmission Substations during the period.
Investigation into the cause of the incident will be carried out as soon as the grid is fully restored. | https://www.tvcnews.tv/2024/10/national-grid-recovery-still-ongoing-despite-setback-tcn/ | 2024-10-15T18:18:35Z |
Investors with an interest in Banks - Foreign stocks have likely encountered both DNB Bank ASA (DNBBY) and HDFC Bank (HDB). But which of these two stocks offers value investors a better bang for their buck right now? We'll need to take a closer look.
We have found that the best way to discover great value opportunities is to pair a strong Zacks Rank with a great grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system. The Zacks Rank is a proven strategy that targets companies with positive earnings estimate revision trends, while our Style Scores work to grade companies based on specific traits.
DNB Bank ASA and HDFC Bank are sporting Zacks Ranks of #2 (Buy) and #4 (Sell), respectively, right now. Investors should feel comfortable knowing that DNBBY likely has seen a stronger improvement to its earnings outlook than HDB has recently. But this is just one piece of the puzzle for value investors.
Value investors analyze a variety of traditional, tried-and-true metrics to help find companies that they believe are undervalued at their current share price levels.
Our Value category grades stocks based on a number of key metrics, including the tried-and-true P/E ratio, the P/S ratio, earnings yield, and cash flow per share, as well as a variety of other fundamentals that value investors frequently use.
DNBBY currently has a forward P/E ratio of 8.26, while HDB has a forward P/E of 20.90. We also note that DNBBY has a PEG ratio of 1.52. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. HDB currently has a PEG ratio of 2.01.
Another notable valuation metric for DNBBY is its P/B ratio of 1.34. The P/B is a method of comparing a stock's market value to its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. By comparison, HDB has a P/B of 2.66.
These are just a few of the metrics contributing to DNBBY's Value grade of B and HDB's Value grade of C.
DNBBY has seen stronger estimate revision activity and sports more attractive valuation metrics than HDB, so it seems like value investors will conclude that DNBBY is the superior option right now.

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.
Luckily our fantasy football analysts are here to help you navigate the treacherous waters of the Buccaneers backfield moving forward. Find out where Tucker, Irving and others landed in our team's Week 7 RB rankings for half-PPR scoring leagues:

Jerry Seinfeld makes shock U-turn on claiming 'extreme left' politically correct mob has killed comedy
- Have YOU got a story? Email tips@dailymail.com
Jerry Seinfeld has taken back his explosive claim that the 'extreme left' politically correct mob has killed comedy.
In April the iconic comedian, 70, sparked uproar when he told the New Yorker's David Remnick that oversensitivity has ruined comedy and claimed people are now 'worrying so much about offending' people.
The Seinfeld star fondly remembered the days when people would get home and turn on the TV to watch comedies such as 'Cheers,' 'M.A.S.H.,' or 'All in the Family.
'Well, guess what? Where is it? Where is it? This is the result of the extreme left and P.C. c**p and people worrying so much about offending other people,' he said.
Now Seinfeld has revealed his 'regret' over the comments which he says are 'not true' in a groveling appearance on the latest episode of comedian Tom Papa’s Breaking Bread podcast.
Jerry Seinfeld has taken back his explosive claim that the 'extreme left' politically correct mob has killed comedy
In April the iconic comedian, 70, sparked uproar when he told the New Yorker's David Remnick that oversensitivity has ruined comedy and claimed people are now 'worrying so much about offending' people - pictured in Seinfeld in 1989
Addressing the controversy he said: 'I said that the extreme left has suppressed the art of comedy. I did say that. That’s not true. It’s not true.
'If you're Lindsey Vonn, if you're a champion skier, you can put the gates anywhere you want on the mountain, she's gonna make the gate
'Whatever the culture is, we make the gate. You don't make the gate you're out of the game...
'So does culture change? And are there things that I used to say that I can't say, that everybody's always moving. Yeah but that's the biggest easiest target
'The accuracy of your observation has to be a hundred times finer than that.
'So I don't think that as I said the extreme left has done anything to inhibit the art of comedy.'
Seinfeld previously told the New Yorker's Radio Hour that even though people crave comedic relief, they can't no longer find it on TV.
'Nothing really affects comedy. People always need it. They need it so badly and they don't get it.'
Addressing the controversy he said: 'I said that the extreme left has suppressed the art of comedy. I did say that. That’s not true. It’s not true'
Seinfeld previously told the New Yorker's Radio Hour that even though people crave comedic relief, they can't no longer find it on TV - pictured March 27, 2024
His comments saw him criticized by his own Seinfeld co-star Julia-Louis Dreyfus - who branded his remarks a 'red flag warning.'
During an interview with the New York Times, the actress said that political correctness can actually be 'fantastic.'
'When I hear people starting to complain about political correctness — and I understand why people might push back on it — but to me that's a red flag, because it sometimes means something else,' Louis-Dreyfus, 63, told the publication. 'I believe being aware of certain sensitivities is not a bad thing. I don't know how else to say it.'
Louis-Dreyfus won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress In A Comedy Series seven times: once for The New Adventures Of Old Christine (2006-2010) and six more playing Selina Meyer in Veep (2012-2019).
On top of that, she won the award for Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series for Seinfeld (1989-1998) during her nine-season run on the legendary sitcom that starred Jerry Seinfeld in the lead role.
'My feeling about all of it is that political correctness, insofar as it equates to tolerance, is obviously fantastic,' the acclaimed actress said. 'And of course I reserve the right to boo anyone who says anything that offends me, while also respecting their right to free speech, right?'
The New York City native admits that certain comedies and dramas from yesteryear just don't work anymore under modern scrutiny, but being sensitively aware of changing cultural norms should be acknowledged.
When asked directly about Seinfeld's comments on political correctness, Louis-Dreyfus stressed how comedy has evolved over the decades.
'If you look back on comedy and drama both, let's say 30 years ago, through the lens of today, you might find bits and pieces that don't age well,' the TV veteran with more than 40 years of experience said. 'And I think to have an antenna about sensitivities is not a bad thing.'
The former Saturday Night Live cast member added, It doesn't mean that all comedy goes out the window as a result.'
His comments saw him criticized by his own Seinfeld co-star Julia-Louis Dreyfus - who branded his remarks a 'red flag warning'; the duo are pictured in September 2013
While Louis-Dreyfus agreed with the premise of the iconic stand-up comedian's statement, she cited her reasoning to be more centered on the sitcom being 'too unique' as opposed to it not being PC enough for the times.
She went on to admit that it's 'good to be vigilant' and keep up with the changing times and culture, citing how even some great films and television shows of the past can include beliefs and attitudes that 'today would not be acceptable.'
'Probably not,' were her exact words when initially asked whether Seinfeld could be made today. 'I mean, what the hell is happening in network television anymore?
Seinfeld is no stranger to criticizing those he sees as PC - 'politically correct' - mobs.
Back in 2015, he warned other comics not to perform at college campuses because they were too politically correct.
Roughly nine years later, Seinfeld says political correctness is alive and well on network television, and comedy fans are circumventing that by going to see live comedy shows instead.
'Now they're going to see stand-up comics because they are not policed by anyone. The audience polices us. We know when we're off track. We know instantly. And we adjust to it instantly,' Seinfeld said.
Seinfeld said that people who want to be successful comedians need to be able to work within the parameters of what society deems acceptable, using the metaphor of gates in skiing.
Seinfeld is no stranger to criticizing those he sees as PC - 'politically correct' - mobs. Back in 2015, he warned other comics not to perform at college campuses because they were too politically correct
Seinfeld added that organic process of trial and error doesn't happen in TV boardrooms and jokes are nitpicked.
'But when you write a script, and it goes into four or five different hands, committees, groups – 'Here's our thought about this joke' – well, that's the end of your comedy,' he said.
'With certain comedians now, people are having fun with them stepping over the line, and us all laughing about it.
'But again, it's the stand-ups that really have the freedom to do it because no one else gets the blame if it doesn't go down well. He or she can take all the blame [themselves.]'
At a time when pro-Palestine protests rage on at college campuses across the nation, Seinfeld, who is of Jewish descent, was confronted by angry agitators outside the State of the World Jewry Address in New York City back in February.
Journalist Bari Weiss gave the address, and as Seinfeld left the event, protestors repeatedly screamed at him 'free Palestine' and 'you support genocide.'
Seinfeld is seen waving at the hostile crowd as he gets into his car to drive off.
Seinfeld revealed to the Times of Israel in December 2023, a little over two months after the war in Gaza began, that he 'lived and worked on a kibbutz in Israel when I was 16 and I have loved our Jewish homeland ever since.'
He concluded by saying he would 'always stand with Israel and the Jewish people.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-13963007/jerry-seinfeld-extreme-left-woke-americans-killed-comedyy.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2024-10-15T18:18:37Z |
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:

However, Sir Alex will now give up the position at the end of the year as part of cost cutting.
The initiative is being driven by INEOS, who are minority owners but control football operations.
Per The MIrror, Avram and Joel Glazer were happy to pay Fergie for all he had contributed to the club.
The Athletic has revealed how INEOS felt that it was money that could be put to better use.

Delhi Court To Deliver Verdict On Satyendar Jain’S Bail Plea On Oct 18
Date
10/15/2024 11:15:11 AM
(MENAFN- IANS) New Delhi, Oct 15 (IANS) A court here will pronounce its verdict on a plea filed by former Delhi Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Satyendar Jain seeking bail in connection with a money laundering case on October 18.
The Rouse Avenue Court, which was scheduled to deliver its decision on Tuesday, did not assemble and will now pronounce verdict on Satyendar Jain's plea on October 18.
Recently, the Delhi High Court dismissed Satyendar Jain's plea challenging the dismissal of his default bail request by the trial court.
In his plea, the former Delhi minister contended that the ED failed to complete its investigation within the statutory period and filed an incomplete prosecution complaint before the trial court in July 2022, in a bid to deny him default bail under Section 167 (2) of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC).
He argued that filing an incomplete chargesheet while the investigation was ongoing violates his fundamental right under Article 21 of the Constitution, undermining his right to default bail as per Section 167 (2) CrPC.
Earlier on March 18 this year, the Supreme Court had dismissed Jain's regular bail petition and ordered him to forthwith surrender before the jail authorities.
Before that, the AAP leader remained out on interim medical bail for about ten months. The apex court had initially granted Jain interim relief in May 2023 for six weeks but the same was extended from time to time.
The ED's case against Jain originates from an FIR by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) under Sections 13(2) and 13(e) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, alleging he acquired disproportionate assets between 2015 and 2017.
Additionally, the ED alleges that companies beneficially owned and controlled by Jain received Rs 4.81 crore through accommodation entries from shell companies via a hawala route.

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.wdbo.com/news/national/fantasy-football/A3725AFWSDNOFJSZYTVOHPSW4I/ | 2024-10-15T18:18:42Z |

The fashion show was canceled in 2019 after dealing with bad ratings and a whole slew of wild controversies, and has since made an effort to become more inclusive.
Now, following a five year hiatus, the models are back and gearing up to showcase the latest range of lingerie being offered by the brand.
While the runway show has not occurred in five years, last year the company did release Victoria's Secret 'The Tour', a 'reimagined' feature-length, behind-the-scenes show that focused on 'emerging global trailblazers' rather than strictly lingerie-clad vixens. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-13963131/alessandra-ambrosio-iconic-strut-nyc-victorias-secret-fashion-2024.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2024-10-15T18:18:43Z |
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.wsbtv.com/news/national/jets-owner-woody/LTEP6CRNJNBQI4ZQW5ZVT6O5KM/ | 2024-10-15T18:18:45Z |
The Citizens are bringing Echeverri to their side in January when he is done at River Plate.
The midfielder was signed last January, but kept at River for a further year to continue developing.
Former City defender Martin Demichelis had been River Plate’s manager until July 2024, which means he has good knowledge of the player.
He said, per The Mirror: "Claudio is truly one of the great emerging talents in River's football. We have a great squad that always produces technically gifted players. However, the day-to-day whirlwind at River demands not only winning but being a protagonist in a very special way, trying to play well.
"I believe that when you leave River well-formed, you are prepared for anything. Claudio is still in the stage of evolution. He has made a very, very significant leap in recent months. Technically, he is a marvel. We enjoy watching him play, even at such a young age. He caught everyone's attention. We'll enjoy him for a while longer and then leave him to you." | https://www.tribalfootball.com/article/soccer-premier-league-guardiola-says-echeverri-is-one-of-the-great-emerging-talents-as-he-joins-man-city-c5a5bcca-3aba-4065-b29d-ae15b310c6b8 | 2024-10-15T18:18:46Z |
(MENAFN- IANS) Guwahati, Oct 15 (IANS) Bypolls for five Assembly seats in Assam will be held on November 13 and counting of votes will be taken up on November 23, the Election Commission announced on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the ruling BJP is set to contest three seats, leaving two constituencies for its ally parties.
The five seats fell vacant after five legislators including a cabinet Minister were elected to the parliament in this year's Lok Sabha polls.
This included two MLAs from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), including a cabinet minister, along with one each from alliance partners Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), United Peoples Party Liberal (UPPL), and one from the opposition Congress.
Dholai Assembly seat fell vacant after former cabinet minister Parimal Suklabaidya (BJP) won from the Silchar Lok Sabha seat. Similarly, senior BJP leader Ranjit Dutta vacated the Behali Assembly seat as he was elected to the lower house of the parliament.
The AGP opened its account in the parliament with its senior leader Phani Bhusan Choudhury being elected from the Barpeta Lok Sabha seat. The party contested in two parliamentary constituencies in the state. However, it lost polls in Dhubri to Congress candidate Rakibul Hussain.
Choudhury was a six-time MLA from the Bongaigaon Assembly segment. When AGP fielded him from the Barpeta Lok Sabha seat, supporters of Choudhury opposed the party's decision and urged Choudhury to remain the MLA of Bongaigaon.
Samuguri Assembly seat was vacated by Congress leader Rakibul Hussain who defeated the three-time AIUDF MP and party chief Badruddin Ajmal in the Dhubri Lok Sabha seat with a margin of more than 10 lakh votes.
UPPL's Joyanta Basumatary, the former MLA from Sidli, also made headlines by securing the Kokrajhar Lok Sabha seat.
Bhabhesh Kalita, the state BJP president said,“Our party will contest in three of the five Assembly constituencies, while the AGP and another ally, the UPPL, will each contest one seat.”
He stated that the BJP would field candidates in Samaguri, Dholai and Bihali Assembly seats.
Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) is set to contest polls in the Bongaigaon Assembly seat and UPPL will field a candidate in the Sidli Assembly constituency.

The Ogun State Government has dismissed several reports in the media indicating that the state had joined some states of the federation in a case at the Supreme Court challenging the constitutionality of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
It added that the issue its contending in court relates to the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU)’s Financial Guidelines, which it said unfairly limits the operations of states and local governments in the country.
The Ogun State government issued this rebuttal in a statement by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Strategy, Kayode Akinmade.
According to the statement, the constitutionality of the EFCC and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) had since been determined by the Supreme Court, and Ogun State considers discussions on the issue closed.
The Ogun State government stated that it had no factual reason or recent development to reopen the question of the EFCC’s constitutionality, adding that as a federating unit with law enforcement agencies of its own, it had no desire to undermine the Federal Government’s law and order objectives.
Providing clarification on the actual case filed by Ogun State in court, the statement said: “The case Ogun State has filed (SC/CV/912/2024) and the case that several states are party to (SC/CV/178/2023) litigate a very narrow issue that does not attack the constitutionality of the EFCC.
“Nigerians recall the obnoxious naira redesign policy, which was invalidated by the Supreme Court after Ogun State and other states successfully challenged the policy.
“A lesser-known fact is that around that time in January 2023, purporting to act under the Anti-Money Laundering Act, Proceeds of Crime Act, and its enabling statute, the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) released a Guidelines document and an Advisory which, among other things, placed limits on cash withdrawals by State and Local Governments. Ogun State disagrees with these limits because they do not align with our view of the law and cause significant governance disruptions.
“As such, the suit is targeted at invalidating the NFIU Guidelines and Advisory, insofar as they interfere with the economic and governance interests of Ogun State and its Local Governments.
“Especially now that the Supreme Court has guaranteed the Local Governments’ access to their funds, intrusive subsidiary legislation by unelected bureaucrats in the NFIU ought not to stand in the way of the justified free use of public funds.” | https://www.tvcnews.tv/2024/10/we-challenged-nfiu-guidelines-not-efccs-constitutionality-ogun/ | 2024-10-15T18:18:48Z |
The wide receiver landscape for fantasy football got a huge shakeup this week, as star wide receiver Davante Adams finally got his wish to once again play with his former quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, as they seek to win their first Super Bowl together.
Though Adams' arrival is surely good news for the Jets as they look to climb out of their 2-6 hole to start the season, fantasy football managers are likely less-than-thrilled about the prospect, as the waters for star wideout Garrett Wilson — a second-round pick in most fantasy drafts this season — have now muddied significantly.
It remains to be seen if Adams will play in Week 7's showdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers on "Sunday Night Football," but fantasy managers will undoubtedly need to factor in the possibility of him on the field this week while making start/sit decisions.
Find out where Adams, Wilson and Allen Lazard stand in our team's Week 7 wide receiver rankings, and be sure to check back for updates as more information is received throughout the week:

Man City are 'strongly considering' Sporting Lisbon boss Ruben Amorim to replace Pep Guardiola if he leaves - and have one key figure in their camp who could sway him
- Ruben Amorim has won two league titles leading Portuguese club Sporting CP
- Man City reportedly see him as a strong candidate to replace Pep Guardiola
- SOCCER A-Z: Listen now wherever you get your podcasts, or watch on YouTube. New episodes every Wednesday and Friday
Manchester City reportedly see Sporting CP's manager Ruben Amorim as a potential successor to Pep Guardiola if he leaves.
Guardiola's contract is up at the end of the season and he has publicly refused to commit his future to the club where he has won six Premier League titles and one Champions League.
With the FA seeing him as their 'dream target' to replace Gareth Southgate as England boss - notwithstanding their ongoing talks with Thomas Tuchel - Guardiola's head could be turned and City require a plan.
They are thus 'strongly considering' Amorim, who has won two Portuguese titles with Sporting, according to The Guardian.
It might help City have in recent days agreed a deal for Hugo Viana, the Portuguese side's sporting director, to replace director of football Txiki Begiristain - an exclusive story by Mail Sport.

Guardiola's contract is up at the end of the season and he has been tight-lipped over his future
City have agreed a deal with Hugo Viana, the sporting director who hired Amorim at Sporting
Viana brought Amorim to Sporting after paying £10million to prise him from Braga and that was seen as a catalyst for their spell of dominance.
Amorim had been seen as the favourite to succeed Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool but that avenue fizzled out before they opted for Arne Slot.
He also flew to London in April to hold talks about taking over from David Moyes at West Ham, but rejected the Hammers and apologised to Sporting fans for jetting off mid-title race, which they went on to win.
Amorim is seen as one of the brightest young coaches in Europe for the way he has punctured the dominance of Porto and Benfica.
Alongside two league titles, he has also won two cups and a super cup at Sporting, as well as leading them as far as the last 16 in the Champions League.
Sporting will host City in the Champions League next month.
It could yet be that Guardiola chooses to stay, though the loss of Begiristain, with whom he is very close after they got to know each other at Barcelona, is a blow.
Amorim, who has won two titles with Sporting CP, is one of Europe's brightest young coaches
'I've not decided anything, everything can happen. So I don't know,' he recently said of his future.

DETROIT — (AP) — Kamala Harris and Donald Trump both pushed Tuesday to energize key constituencies that their allies worry might be slipping away, with the vice president looking to reach Black men and the former president focusing on women.
Harris will appear at a town hall-style event in Detroit hosted by the morning radio program “The Breakfast Club," featuring Charlamagne Tha God, who is especially popular with Black males. Trump, meanwhile, will tape a Fox News Channel town hall featuring an all-female audience and moderated by host Harris Faulkner.
The vice president was also scheduled to stop by a Black-owned business in Detroit. A day earlier, she visited LegendErie, a coffee shop and record store in Erie, Pennsylvania, where she met with the husband-and-wife owners, a local pastor and other community leaders.
Harris' running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, is unveiling his ticket's plan to improve the lives of rural Americans. It's yet another sign that in a razor-tight race, each side is trying to cut into the other's margins of support with different voting blocs while shoring up traditional areas of strength.
The vice president's "Breakfast Club" appearance comes one day after she announced a series of new proposals dubbed the "Opportunity Agenda for Black Men." The ideas are meant to offer the demographic more economic advantages, including providing forgivable business loans of up to $20,000 for entrepreneurs and creating more apprenticeships. The plan would also support the study of sickle cell and other diseases more common in Black men.
The focus on Black men sharpened last week when former President Barack Obama campaigned for Harris in Pittsburgh and said he wanted to speak "some truths" to Black male voters, suggesting some " just aren't feeling the idea of having a woman as president."
The vice president’s campaign says it doesn’t believe Black men will flip in large numbers to supporting Trump, especially after strongly backing Democrat Joe Biden, with Harris as his running mate, in 2020. They are more concerned about a measurable percentage of Black males opting not to vote at all.
Sen. Raphael Warnock, the first Black senator elected from the state of Georgia, issued a stark warning Tuesday to other Black men that voting for Trump will be “literally dangerous” for them, as the former president heads to Atlanta for a rally.
“He will be dangerous every time you get in the car and you deal with the issue of driving while Black,” Warnock said.
He argued that Democrats’ job is to reach Black men who are deciding whether to vote at all. “The issue is folks have got to understand that if you do not vote, it’s a vote for Donald Trump,” Warnock said.
Harris' campaign has also placed special emphasis on other male voters, including creating " Hombres con Harris," or "Men with Harris," a group that is using celebrities and key elected officials to organize events on her behalf meant to appeal to Hispanic men.
As she campaigns in Detroit, Harris faces other potential challenges in Michigan, including Arab activists angered by the Biden administration's full-throated support for Israel in its war with Hamas in Gaza. Dearborn, outside Detroit, is the largest Arab-majority city in the U.S.
Still, the vice president's campaign expects to see strong support on Election Day from white, college-educated voters in Michigan at rates that might exceed Biden's in 2020, and she hopes to expand the margin by which Trump lost many of the state's key suburbs four years ago.
She's also seized on insults Trump made about Detroit last week while campaigning there. He said if Harris wins, “Our whole country will end up being like Detroit." He added, "You’re going to have a mess on your hands.”
Trump has maligned cities hosting him before, but Harris said it was proof he was “unfit to be president.” Her campaign also released an ad voiced by actor Courtney B. Vance, a Detroit native, that declares: “What Donald Trump doesn’t understand, or care to learn, is that when he said, ‘Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she’s your president.’ That he should be so ... lucky.”
Trump is scheduled to return to Detroit later this week for a rally.
The former president figures to do well with rural voters, but team Harris hopes to at least keep things closer. And while Harris’ support among women is strong, Trump aims to keep her from running up the score.
Trump has seen his support among women, especially in the suburbs of many key swing states, soften since his term in the White House. A September AP-NORC poll found more than half of registered voters who are women have a somewhat or very favorable view of Harris, while only about one-third have a favorable view of Trump.
To reverse the trend, Trump has sought to cast himself as being able to personally shield women from various threats, as when he suggested at a rally in Pennsylvania last month that women in America, "will no longer be abandoned, lonely or scared. You will no longer be in danger."
“You will be protected, and I will be your protector," Trump said then. He's also suggested that, should he win, women will no longer have a reason to think about abortion, after three Supreme Court judges that he appointed helped in 2022 to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision that had guaranteed a woman's right to the procedure.
In Chicago before members of the Economic Club, Trump defended his support for high tariffs as an economic cure-all.
“To me, the most beautiful word in the dictionary is ‘tariff,’” Trump told Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait, who interviewed him at the event. Micklethwait has repeatedly pressed Trump on warnings from economists that the costs of high tariffs will be passed along to American consumers, raising prices.

Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann has spoken about the resurgence of Ryan Gravenberch.
The Dutch midfielder was a peripheral figure under Nagelsmann at Bayern Munich two years ago.

He was eventually moved along to Liverpool, where he struggled last season but is now shining under coach Arne Slot.
“I had just become coach of Bayern and had two German internationals with (Leon) Goretzka and (Joshua) Kimmich that I could not easily pass,” said Nagelsmann.
“That was difficult for Ryan, because he was used to being a regular at Ajax.
“His start at Bayern was not perfect either, but you could see his great talent. That he is doing so well now does not surprise me.
"It was there and it is now coming out at Liverpool and the Dutch national team. I am happy for him.

(MENAFN- IANS) Gandhinagar, Oct 15 (IANS) The Gujarat government has announced an investment of over Rs 54.50 crore in upgrading the state's fishing harbours and fish landing centres.
This initiative aims to provide modern infrastructure at key locations, benefiting thousands of fishermen and fishing boats in Porbandar and Gir Somnath districts.
Fisheries Minister Raghavji Patel stated that the upgrades will be carried out at Navibandar in Porbandar district, along with Dhamlej and Hirakot in Gir Somnath district. The Dhamlej fish landing centre will receive an investment of Rs 26.40 crore, while Rs 14.60 crore and Rs 13.48 crore will be allocated to Hirakot and Navibandar, respectively.
These upgrades are expected to directly benefit over 35,000 fishermen and more than 8,000 fishing boats, boosting the region's fishing industry. The improvements will include protection bunds, internal road networks, auction halls, boat repair shops, maritime security systems, and other essential infrastructure like water and lighting facilities, fire-fighting equipment, and rest sheds.
Gujarat boasts the longest coastline in India, stretching approximately 1,600 kilometres along the Arabian Sea. This extensive coastal line is crucial to the state's economy, particularly in the fishing industry.
Gujarat is home to over 3.5 lakh fishermen who rely on the sea for their livelihood. The state's fishing sector is highly developed, with more than 107 fishing harbours and landing centres operating along the coast.
Gujarat has 121 fish landing centres, including key harbours Veraval, Mangrol, Porbandar, Okha, and Jakhau. These centres serve as important hubs for fishing operations and exports.
Gujarat's export-oriented fishery industry contributes significantly to India's seafood exports. The state exports fish and fish products to countries like Japan, the USA, China, and Southeast Asia.
Gujarat accounts for about 30 per cent of India's total seafood exports, bringing in foreign exchange and strengthening the state's economy.
The major species caught off Gujarat's coast include pomfret, ribbonfish, mackerel, shrimps, crabs, and Bombay duck, all of which are in high demand both domestically and internationally.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has stated its side of the story following the arrest drama at Urban Radio in Enugu City, Enugu State Nigeria.
The agency in a Press Statement by its head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, said “On Monday, October 14, 2024 a team of operatives of the Enugu Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, comprising four officers were at Urban Radio 94.5FM, Enugu to invite one Favour Ekoh, host of Prime Time, a programme running at the Station”.
It added that the situation is far from what was presented in the media.
Mr Oyewale said “Ekoh is being investigated by the Enugu Zonal Directorate of the EFCC in an alleged N700 million Ponzi scheme fraud involving about fifty (50) victims”.
According to the victims, Ekoh allegedly lured them into investing in a scheme “Life Trading” in a company, Leverage Index Limited, where they were offered returns on investment of 10 percent of their capitals after a period of time.
The victims alleged that after investing their money into the company located at No. 1 Colliery Street, Okpara Avenue, Enugu State, the company closed its office with no return on investment or principal returned to the victims.
Ekoh allegedly invited the victims into the business and she remained the only link the victims could hold.
At the Radio Station, operatives of the Commission, holding a warrant of arrest for Ekoh, identified themselves as officers of the EFCC.
They informed the Managing Director of the Station, Bamikole Owoyomi, about their mission.
However, in a rather strange twist, a staff of the Station called the Chairman of the Radio Station who ordered that the gate of the building be locked in and out, thereby holding the officers hostage.
Faced with such hostility, they called for a rescue team which eventually arrested Omoyomi, Ekoh and the two security guards that locked them within the premises of the Station.
Ekoh had to be trailed to the Station for an arrest because the nature of the fraudulent dealings necessitated a sting operation that would foreclose her escape or going underground.
She was neither arrested while on air nor any disruption of the lawful activities of the Radio Station took place.
No equipment of the Station was tampered with and she has since been released after being allowed to make a Statement at the Enugu office.
Owoyomi and the two security guards were arrested for obstruction of justice as they initially prevented the operatives from carrying out their official duty.
They also made statements to that effect and had since been released.
The EFCC holds the media in high esteem both as the fourth estate of the realm and critical stakeholder in the fight against economic and financial crimes and other acts of corruption, but the precipitate and unlawful obstruction of officers of the Commission from carrying out their duties, by staff of the Radio Station, is unacceptable.
Besides, the professional credentials of Ekoh, a principal suspect in a Ponzi scheme to the tune of N700m affecting 50 innocent Nigerians, are questionable.
The Commission hereby calls on the International Press Institute, IPI, and the Nigerian Union of Journalists, NUJ, to investigate the conduct of the Station in the light of integrity and ethical professional practice.

The EFCC holds the media in high esteem both as the fourth estate of the realm and critical stakeholder in the fight against economic and financial crimes and other acts of corruption, but the precipitate and unlawful obstruction of officers of the Commission from carrying out their duties, by staff of the Radio Station, is unacceptable.
Besides, the professional credentials of Ekoh, a principal suspect in a Ponzi scheme to the tune of N700m affecting 50 innocent Nigerians, are questionable.
The Commission hereby calls on the International Press Institute, IPI, and the Nigerian Union of Journalists, NUJ, to investigate the conduct of the Station in the light of integrity and ethical professional practice.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has stated its side of the story following the arrest drama at Urban Radio in Enugu City, Enugu State Nigeria.
The agency in a Press Statement by its head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, said “On Monday, October 14, 2024 a team of operatives of the Enugu Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, comprising four officers were at Urban Radio 94.5FM, Enugu to invite one Favour Ekoh, host of Prime Time, a programme running at the Station”.
It added that the situation is far from what was presented in the media.
Mr Oyewale said “Ekoh is being investigated by the Enugu Zonal Directorate of the EFCC in an alleged N700 million Ponzi scheme fraud involving about fifty (50) victims”.
According to the victims, Ekoh allegedly lured them into investing in a scheme “Life Trading” in a company, Leverage Index Limited, where they were offered returns on investment of 10 percent of their capitals after a period of time.
The victims alleged that after investing their money into the company located at No. 1 Colliery Street, Okpara Avenue, Enugu State, the company closed its office with no return on investment or principal returned to the victims.
Ekoh allegedly invited the victims into the business and she remained the only link the victims could hold.
At the Radio Station, operatives of the Commission, holding a warrant of arrest for Ekoh, identified themselves as officers of the EFCC.
They informed the Managing Director of the Station, Bamikole Owoyomi, about their mission.
However, in a rather strange twist, a staff of the Station called the Chairman of the Radio Station who ordered that the gate of the building be locked in and out, thereby holding the officers hostage.
Faced with such hostility, they called for a rescue team which eventually arrested Omoyomi, Ekoh and the two security guards that locked them within the premises of the Station.
Ekoh had to be trailed to the Station for an arrest because the nature of the fraudulent dealings necessitated a sting operation that would foreclose her escape or going underground.
She was neither arrested while on air nor any disruption of the lawful activities of the Radio Station took place.
No equipment of the Station was tampered with and she has since been released after being allowed to make a Statement at the Enugu office.

Sir Alex Ferguson is told to stay away from the Man United DRESSING ROOM in yet another controversial move after Sir Jim Ratcliffe 'sacked' club legend from his £2.61m ambassadorial role
- Ferguson's role was ended as part of a wide-ranging cost-cutting programme
- Former stars such as Eric Cantona have been up in arms about the INEOS moves
- LISTEN NOW: It's All Kicking Off!, available wherever you get your podcasts. New episodes every Monday and Thursday
Sir Alex Ferguson and the Manchester United football board have been asked not to enter the dressing room at Old Trafford – breaking a tradition that stretches back to the days of Sir Matt Busby.
Earlier on Tuesday it emerged that Ferguson had seen his multi-million pound ambassadorial role stripped by the club’s new part owner INEOS, as part of a wide-ranging cost-cutting programme.
And Mail Sport can reveal that in a further, controversial move Ferguson – the most successful manager in the club’s history – will no longer enter the inner sanctum following matches as part of a change in policy.
United deny that they have directly banned Ferguson from the changing room but say there is now a ‘collective understanding’ over who goes inside.
Visits to the dressing room have been part of the club’s culture for decades. Ferguson and fellow football board members David Gill and Mike Edelson were always welcome, as were Sir Bobby Charlton and former director Maurice Watkins, before they passed away.
Sir Alex Ferguson and other members of Man United's football board have been told to stay away from the club's dressing room
Sir Jim Ratcliffe is believed to have told the club legend of his decision to make changes - including the end of his ambassadorial role - at Old Trafford
The tradition of visits to the dressing room dates back to the era of legendary manager Sir Matt Busby (pictured right in 1962)
Ferguson, who won 38 trophies in 26 years, signed a deal following his retirement in 2013 to continue as a global club ambassador and director. In 2014 accounts United said Ferguson, 82, was paid £2.16m for his services.
United’s football board is seen as a ceremonial body and is separate to the official board, which includes the six Glazer siblings.
INEOS have launched a series of swingeing cuts since they took a quarter share in the club earlier this year. As Mail Sport revealed, they made 250 redundancies across departments. Ferguson was informed of the changes in a face-to-face meeting at Old Trafford with INEOS founder Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Lifelong United fan Ratcliffe, 71, told the Glaswegian that, given the cuts, the club was no longer willing to pay him his previous salary. Ferguson will remain as a non-executive director and will retain his place in the director’s box and table for eight which he hosts at home matches. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13963075/Sir-Alex-Ferguson-stay-away-Manchester-United-dressing-room-controversial-Sir-Jim-Ratcliffe.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2024-10-15T18:18:56Z |
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.wdbo.com/news/national/fantasy-football/FC4M6YSYJ5WC6BJCO3H3DEJPM4/ | 2024-10-15T18:18:55Z |

SAN FRANCISCO — A Navy parachutist was off-target and instead of landing where he should have, he landed on a mother and daughter during San Francisco’s Fleet Week.
The jump happened on Sunday at the city’s Marina Green, the designated target, SFGate reported.
But instead of hitting the spot where the sailor was supposed to land, he fell onto a group of spectators on the area’s perimeter.
The mother and daughter, who were not identified, bore the brunt of the impact but had minor injuries. They were still taken to an area hospital by ambulance, fire department officials said.
The crash was under investigation. It is not known why the jump went bad, KRON reported.
The U.S. Navy released a statement saying, “Our thoughts are with the individual and their family. Safety is our number one priority. We cannot immediately assess what happened; however, we will review this incident to determine the cause,” KRON reported.

The 24-year-old has been hugely impressive for the Toffees since signing from Marseille.
Interim Senegal manager Pape Thiaw confirmed Ndiaye is back in training, albeit not with the group.
"Iliman was injured during the match," he said, per Joueurs on X.
"He trained yesterday even though he wasn't with the group on the pitch. He was at the hotel, he trained.
“So he is at my disposal, now we'll see tomorrow! It could be him or someone else. You'll see tomorrow." | https://www.tribalfootball.com/article/soccer-premier-league-ndiaye-returns-to-everton-training-after-suffering-injury-with-senegal-d6dec9a6-bb99-44fc-a14b-3651e2b90e8c | 2024-10-15T18:18:59Z |
(MENAFN- IANS) New Delhi, Oct 15 (IANS) Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Tuesday heaped praise on the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) for giving "exemplary" responses to Canada for consciously providing space to anti-India elements, violent extremists and terrorists to harass, threaten and intimidate Indian diplomats and community leaders in the country.
As Hindu temples in Canada continue to be constantly vandalised by Khalistani goons and Hindu-Canadians besides Indian diplomats also being repeatedly targeted, the MEA had on Monday issued a strongly-worded statement, detailing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's continued hostility towards India which it said has long been in evidence.
After underlining that in an atmosphere of extremism and violence, the Trudeau government's actions endangered the safety of Indian diplomats, the MEA had announced its decision to withdraw India's High Commissioner in Canada and other "targetted diplomats and officials".
"I have also witnessed threats, physical threats, to people who represent India. I have been at the receiving end of some of those threats. I think it is incomprehensible that in the name of freedom of expression, you allow the photograph, whether on social media, of a head of mission with different people firing bullets at it. Our responses on all these things have been exemplary. I think they will realise when we start calibrating our response. I read the statement by MEA and it filled me with pride. They have called spade a spade. I have seen my colleagues in different places being attacked in Gurdwaras, etc. It is unbelievable to see what is going on and then we speak about the rule of law," said Puri while speaking at the launch of the book 'Inside the Terrifying World of Jaish-e-Mohammed' written by Abhinav Pandya.
With the book examining the origins, ideology, organisational structure, financing, strategies and radicalisation methods of Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and its chief Masood Azhar, Puri, a seasoned diplomat before he ventured into politics, also spoke in detail about terrorism and major terror entities.
"Prior to 9/11, whenever we spoke, or rather I spoke on behalf of my country to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London or to others, the distinct impression we got was that this was someone else's problem. Because of our geographical location, we were at the receiving end of a country which decided to use terror as an instrument of foreign and security policy. We became used to cross-border terrorism in all its forms. But, the world still thought that was a particular problem of South Asia or some other part of the world," he said.
The Minister also called for urgent reforms in the UN Security Council, asserting that the post-1945 global architecture was flawed as it was based on the dictum 'to the victor belong the spoils'.
It is the only designated agency which is allowed to authorize all means necessary, even in courts, which means corporations. And unfortunately, today, whoever wants to go to war against someone else does so without even that, they have courtesy of their friends in the Security Council. So if we do, if you get this appointment that entities are being named or proscribed as observed, I think we should be equally alarmed and influenced by the fact that you have an entirely dysfunctional Security Council, which was also the enforcers, the need for reform and, devised.
"Unfortunately today, whoever wants to go to war against someone else, does so without even a courtesy of a reference to the Security Council. So, if we get disappointed that the entities are not being named or proscribed as a result, I think we should be equally alarmed and equally disturbed by the fact that you have an entirely dysfunctional Security Council, which, of course, also reinforces the need for reform and a revised multilateral order with India occupying its rightful place as a permanent member," opined Puri.

Lamar Jackson remains as big a threat on the ground as ever, while Baker Mayfield has proven his own worth through the air leading the league with 15 passing touchdowns, ranked as fantasy football's QB1 and QB2 respectively.
Find out where these two stars and the elite skill position players they're working with Yahoo Fantasy's Week 7 PPR rankings at each position to help you make your start/sit decisions:

Donald Trump reveals why there's 'nobody' like Dana White as he opens up on friendship with UFC chief
Donald Trump has heaped praise on his close pal Dana White and explained why there is 'nobody' like the UFC chief.
Trump has been good friends with White - the CEO and president of the world-famous MMA promotion - for well over 20 years after hosting two UFC events at his now-defunct Atlantic City casino in the early 2000s.
Over the past two decades White has repaid the American tycoon by remaining loyal to him throughout his various political campaigns, even speaking at several Republican National Conventions to endorse him as US president.
And during an appearance on the Bussin' With The Boys podcast, Trump has opened up on his friendship with the combat-sports exec - insisting there is no one who could do what he does in the UFC.
'There's nobody like him,' he said about White. 'You always say that everybody's replaceable, [but] I don't think anybody can do what he does.
Donald Trump has heaped praise on Dana White and explained why there is 'nobody' like him
'He's built billions of dollars of value. There's nobody like this guy.
'He's just a fantastic person and he's so loyal. I've known him a long time and he's never changed, he's just an incredible guy and he really understands that business.'
When White took over in 2001, the UFC was verging on bankruptcy eight years after the company was founded. Under his guidance it has become one of the most successful sports businesses in the world with an estimated value of over $12billion.
Trump is convinced that his buddy could even venture outside of combat sports if he wishes to.
'I think he could probably do something else,' he continued about White before adding, 'although his enthusiasm is so... I mean, he's going to a fight and it's like the first fight he's ever gone to. He's so enthusiastic.'
One month out from the presidential election, White ramped up his support for Trump by taking aim at his rival Kamala Harris last week.
The MMA boss launched a scathing attack on Harris after her appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, saying her potentially presidency should 'scare the s***' out of people.

He described his close pal as being irreplaceable to the world-famous MMA promotion
Sharing a clip of the Democratic leader giving a rambling answer to Colbert upon being asked what she'd change if she wins next month's election, White wrote: 'I don’t like to post a lot of political content, but this clip should scare EVERYON
'She is the sitting VP and running for President of the United States. She is incapable of putting a sentence together without a teleprompter and even she appears to know she is in way over her head.
'This election is very important and this along with the many other clips of her attempting to answer questions should SCARE THE S*** OUT OF YOU!!!'
White is not the only sporting figure to throw their support behind Trump of late.
Last week controversial Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker revealed he will be voting for the Republican in next month's election, as did former racing driver Danica Patrick. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/mma/article-13962751/donald-trump-dana-white-ufc.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2024-10-15T18:19:02Z |
Researchers Convene in D.C. to Address a Neurological Condition Commonly Mistaken for Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s Disease
The Research Workshop on iNPH aims to advance understanding and treatment of this frequently misdiagnosed condition affecting approx. 800,000 seniors in the US
iNPH is frequently misdiagnosed as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, or simply a part of normal aging, due to its common symptoms, which include gait disturbances, urinary incontinence, and dementia. Increasing awareness among healthcare providers is crucial, as many fail to recognize iNPH, attributing its symptoms to normal aging processes.
During the first day of the workshop, experts will discuss the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to refine diagnostic methods and enhance tracking of treatment effectiveness for iNPH. They will also investigate biomarkers to gain insights into the underlying causes of the condition and identify non-invasive drug targets, while discussing strategies to improve surgical outcomes and mitigate complications for patients. Day two will feature innovative discussions on leveraging lessons from other diseases to reverse brain cell damage in iNPH and exploring the role of fluid circulation systems in shaping the future of hydrocephalus research.
“It is essential to advance research in iNPH since it is understudied and underrecognized,” stated Dr. Monica Chau, National Director of Research Programs at the Hydrocephalus Association. “We have convened over 70 experts and stakeholders, including neuroscientists, neurosurgeons, neurologists, patients, advocacy leaders, science writers, neuropsychologists, and representatives from government funding agencies. Together, we will establish the research priorities for iNPH over the next decade, which will be published in a scientific journal to guide future research efforts.”
These cutting-edge discussions offer an exciting glimpse into the future of iNPH research, covering a wide range of topics from advanced diagnostic technologies and the integration of AI and machine learning to the exploration of biomarkers, surgical strategies, and non-invasive treatment options. As the aging population continues to grow, this workshop seeks to revolutionize the diagnosis, treatment, and overall understanding of iNPH.
By bringing together leading experts, the Hydrocephalus Association is committed to accelerating breakthroughs that could significantly enhance the quality of life for individuals affected by this often-overlooked condition. The Association remains dedicated to fostering collaborations and driving progress toward better patient outcomes, ultimately paving the way for innovative solutions in iNPH care.
ABOUT THE HYDROCEPHALUS ASSOCIATION
Founded in 1983 by parents of children with hydrocephalus, the Hydrocephalus Association has grown to become the nation’s largest and most widely respected organization dedicated to hydrocephalus. The Hydrocephalus Association began funding research in 2009. Since then, HA has committed over $15.5 million to research, making it the largest nonprofit, non-governmental funder of hydrocephalus research in the U.S. For more information, visit www.hydroassoc.org or call (888) 598-3789.

AITO, Lebanon — (AP) — An Israeli airstrike on an apartment building in northern Lebanon that killed at least 22 people needs to be independently investigated, the United Nations' human rights office said Tuesday.
“We have real concerns with respect to … the laws of war,” Jeremy Laurence, a spokesperson for the U.N.'s human rights office in Geneva said a day after the strike, as rescue workers searching through the rubble found more bodies and remains. Laurence said the U.N. had received credible reports that a dozen women and children were among the dead.
The Israeli military said it “struck a target belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organization" and that it would look into reports of civilian deaths.
The apartment building hit in the airstrike was in the small village of Aito, in the country's Christian heartland and far from Hezbollah's main areas of influence in Lebanon's south and east. The strike was a shock to residents, and it exacerbated fears that Israel would expand its offensive deeper into Lebanon.
“I heard a loud noise, like a boom,” said Dany Alwan, who lives next door. “We ran outside, I saw the dust and the smoke and the rubble. There was a body here, another one there. It was a really ugly and painful scene.”
The three-story building had been rented out to the Hijazi family, which fled their home in the southern village of Aitaroun, according to Elie Alwan, Dany Alwan's brother and the building's owner. Some 1.2 million people have fled southern and eastern Lebanon, where the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah has been concentrated.
As rescue workers rummaged through the debris on Tuesday, they found the body of a child, and later a small leg and other remains that they put together in a white bag. The Lebanese military watched as a bulldozer cleared heaps of twisted steel, destroyed olive trees, and crushed rocks.
Over the past year, 2,350 people in Lebanon have been killed in Israeli airstrikes, according to the country's Health Ministry, which says roughly 25 percent have been women and children.
Earlier on Tuesday, the acting leader of Hezbollah said the militant group would fire rockets into more areas of Israel until it ceases its airstrikes and ends its ground invasion of Lebanon.
Naim Kassem said Hezbollah is focused on “hurting the enemy,” comments made in a pre-recorded televised speech delivered on the same day the United States said it sent a small team of troops to Israel to support an American-made missile-defense system.
Hezbollah has fired thousands of rockets into Israel over the past year in support of Hamas' war with Israel in Gaza. Tens of thousands of northern Israelis have been displaced from their homes by those attacks — and Israel has said its war with Hezbollah is aimed at stopping those rockets so families can return home.
On Tuesday, Kassem signaled that Hezbollah would ramp up attacks further south in Israel, which it has already done by targeting Tel Aviv and Haifa. Kassem has headed the militant group since Sept. 27, when its longtime leader, Hassan Nasrallah, was assassinated in an Israeli airstrike.
Hezbollah began targeting Israel with rockets on Oct. 8, 2023, a day after the Hamas attack on Israel that left 1,200 dead and 250 as hostages in Gaza.
Israel's ensuing war against Hamas has left more than 42,000 people dead in Gaza, according to local health officials. They do not differentiate between fighters and civilians, but have said a little more than half the dead are women and children. Hezbollah has insisted it will continue to target Israel until a cease-fire in Gaza is reached.
“We cannot separate Lebanon from Palestine, or Palestine from the world,” Kassem said.
Also on Tuesday, Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder announced the arrival of U.S. troops in Israel on Monday. The team will operate a Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense battery there to defend against ballistic missile attacks from Iran, which backs both Hezbollah and Hamas, and has launched two missile attacks on Israel.
“Over the coming days, additional U.S. military personnel and THAAD battery components will continue to arrive in Israel,” Ryder said.
Iran has warned U.S. troops would be in harm’s way if they launch another attack.
In Lebanon, Israel's bombardment and ground invasion have displaced more than 400,000 children in the past three weeks, according to Ted Chaiban, deputy executive director at UNICEF, the U.N. children's agency.

With Eddie Howe’s team short on attacking talent, rumors of a January move are persisting.
Per Chronicle Live, the Magpies may well go into the market in January if the opportunity arises.
"As a team, we knew the quality he has and we saw that last year. He's got to just keep working hard - being aggressive and being clinical," Semenyo’s Bournemouth teammate Lewis Cook told BBC Sport a few weeks ago.
"He's got a lot better at running back and helping out the team too. He's a powerful lad and has all the ability in the world. Hopefully he can continue to show that." | https://www.tribalfootball.com/article/soccer-premier-league-newcastle-linked-with-move-for-semenyo-after-impressive-start-for-bournemouth-82cea528-7e83-401b-a18b-d5e45741894f | 2024-10-15T18:19:06Z |

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:

Donald Trump lifts the lid on his failed $1billion bid to buy the Buffalo Bills

- READ MORE: Jerry Jones in furious rant as he is grilled on Cowboys' struggles
Donald Trump has opened up on his attempt to become an NFL owner when he bid for the Buffalo Bills back in 2014.
The Republican presidential hopeful offered $1billion cash for the Bills a decade ago, following the death of founder and Hall of Fame owner Ralph Wilson.
Trump was one of three known finalists in the battle to take charge of Buffalo. A group led by rock star Jon Bon Jovi also showed interest in acquiring the team.
In the end, however, the owners of the NHL’s Buffalo Sabres, Terry and Kim Pegula, won the bidding with $1.4bn offer.
Ten years on, Trump is on the campaign trial as he eyes a return to the White House in next month's election against Kamala Harris.
Donald Trump has opened up on his attempt to buy the Buffalo Bills back in 2014
Terry and Kim Pegula, parents of tennis star Jess Pegula, won the bidding with $1.4billion offer
The 78-year-old appeared on popular YouTube show 'Bussin' With The Boys' and outlined his botched move into football.
When asked how close he came to closing the deal, Trump said: 'Not close. The owner who got it is a very good man. I think he's done a great job. Well, he made a great pick - he picked a great quarterback in Josh (Allen).'
The Republican nominee added: 'I bid $1bn dollars and I put up a letter of credit. I thought I might get it because it was in Buffalo which was having some troubles... and (Pegula) bid $1.4bn - so it's $400m more.
'I don't think it was a very serious run but I gave them a guarantee of a $1bn so that's always serious, right?'
'He made a great pick - he picked a great quarterback in Josh (Allen),' Trump said of Pegula
Trump paid tribute to Terry Pegula - father of tennis star Jess Pegula - for his achievements with the Bills, including selecting Josh Allen in the 2018 draft after other teams passed on the quarterback.
Allen was expected to be the No 1 overall pick until a series of offensive social media posts from his past resurfaced. The Bills nevertheless selected the quarterback with the seventh overall pick.
'He's a very nice guy. I think he's terrific,' Trump said of Pegula. 'I think he's done a great job with that team.'
The 78-year-old added on Allen: 'He's an exciting quarterback but he's a great one... the Bills picked him and (Pegula) took him round on apology tour for a day and he ends up with one of the best quarterbacks.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/nfl/article-13962827/Donald-Trump-bid-buy-Buffalo-Bills-NFL.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2024-10-15T18:19:09Z |
WASHINGTON — (AP) — 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 U.S. 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 U.S. policy toward humanitarian aid and arms transfers, was sent amid deteriorating conditions in northern Gaza and an Israeli airstrike on a hospital tent site in central Gaza that killed at least four people and burned others.
A similar letter that Blinken sent to Israeli officials in April led to more humanitarian assistance getting to the Palestinian territory, State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said Tuesday. But that has not lasted.
“In fact, it’s fallen by over 50% from where it was at its peak," Miller said. "So the secretary, along with Secretary Austin, thought it was appropriate to make clear to the government of Israel that there are changes that they need to make again, to see that the level of assistance making it into Gaza comes back up from the very, very low levels that it is at today.”
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 in their letter. They said Israel had 30 days to respond to the requirements.
"We are making clear to the government of Israel that there are these changes that need to be implemented, that we give them an appropriate period of time to implement it,” Miller said.
An Israeli official confirmed a letter had been delivered but did not discuss the contents. That official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss a diplomatic matter, confirmed the U.S. had raised "humanitarian concerns" and was putting pressure on Israel to speed up the flow of aid into Gaza.
The letter, which an Axios reporter posted a copy of online, was sent during a period of growing frustration in the administration that despite repeated and increasingly vocal requests to scale back offensive operations against Hamas, Israel's bombardment has led to unnecessary civilian deaths and risks plunging the region into a much wider war.
“We are particularly concerned that recent actions by the Israeli government, including halting commercial imports, denying or impeding 90 percent of humanitarian movements” and other restrictions have kept aid from flowing, Blinken and Austin said.
The Biden administration is increasing its calls for its ally and biggest recipient of U.S. military aid to ease the humanitarian crisis in Gaza while assuring that America's support for Israel is unwavering just before the U.S. presidential election in three weeks.
Funding for Israel has long carried weight in U.S. politics, and Biden said this month that "no administration has helped Israel more than I have."
Humanitarian aid groups fear that Israeli leaders may approve a plan to seal off humanitarian aid to northern Gaza in an attempt to starve out Hamas, which could trap hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who are unwilling or unable to leave their homes without food, water, medicine and fuel.
U.N. humanitarian officials said last week that aid entering Gaza is at its lowest level in months. About 80 trucks carrying aid have entered through crossings in Gaza’s north since Oct. 1, down from roughly 60 trucks a day previously, according to the U.N. website tracking deliveries.
COGAT, the Israeli body facilitating aid crossings into Gaza, denied that crossings to the north have been closed.
U.S. officials said the letter was sent to remind Israel of both its obligations under international humanitarian law and of the Biden administration’s legal obligation to ensure that the delivery of American humanitarian assistance should not be hindered, diverted or held up by a recipient of U.S. military aid.
Israel’s retaliatory offensive since the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks by Hamas has killed over 42,000 people in Gaza, according to the territory’s Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in its count. The Hamas attacks that launched the war killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and militants abducted another 250.
The United States has spent a record of at least $17.9 billion on military aid to Israel since the war in Gaza began and led to escalating conflict around the Middle East, according to a report for Brown University's Costs of War project.
That aid has enabled Israel to purchase billions of dollars worth of munitions it has used in its operations against Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon. However, many of those strikes also have killed civilians in both areas.

Former Tottenham midfielder Rafael van der Vaart has taken a dig at Micky van de Ven.
The Dutch defender has been impressive since arriving in the Premier League at the start of last season.

However, Van de Ven was not too impressive in a 1-0 loss against Germany in the Nations League.
Van Der Vaart name checked Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk and stated of Van de Ven: "I don't easily get ashamed of the Dutch team, but today I did.
