Growth investors focus on stocks that are seeing above-average financial growth, as this feature helps these securities garner the market's attention and deliver solid returns. However, it isn't easy to find a great growth stock.
By their very nature, these stocks carry above-average risk and volatility. Moreover, if a company's growth story is over or nearing its end, betting on it could lead to significant loss.
However, the Zacks Growth Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which looks beyond the traditional growth attributes to analyze a company's real growth prospects, makes it pretty easy to find cutting-edge growth stocks.
Hamilton Lane (HLNE) is on the list of such stocks currently recommended by our proprietary system. In addition to a favorable Growth Score, it carries a top Zacks Rank.
Studies have shown that stocks with the best growth features consistently outperform the market. And for stocks that have a combination of a Growth Score of A or B and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy), returns are even better.
While there are numerous reasons why the stock of this private-market investment firm is a great growth pick right now, we have highlighted three of the most important factors below:
Earnings Growth
Earnings growth is arguably the most important factor, as stocks exhibiting exceptionally surging profit levels tend to attract the attention of most investors. For growth investors, double-digit earnings growth is highly preferable, as it is often perceived as an indication of strong prospects (and stock price gains) for the company under consideration.
While the historical EPS growth rate for Hamilton Lane is 18.9%, investors should actually focus on the projected growth. The company's EPS is expected to grow 24.8% this year, crushing the industry average, which calls for EPS growth of 12.5%.
Cash Flow Growth
Cash is the lifeblood of any business, but higher-than-average cash flow growth is more beneficial and important for growth-oriented companies than for mature companies. That's because, high cash accumulation enables these companies to undertake new projects without raising expensive outside funds.
Right now, year-over-year cash flow growth for Hamilton Lane is 17.5%, which is higher than many of its peers. In fact, the rate compares to the industry average of -5%.
While investors should actually consider the current cash flow growth, it's worth taking a look at the historical rate too for putting the current reading into proper perspective. The company's annualized cash flow growth rate has been 15.9% over the past 3-5 years versus the industry average of 5.4%.
Promising Earnings Estimate Revisions
Beyond the metrics outlined above, investors should consider the trend in earnings estimate revisions. A positive trend is a plus here. Empirical research shows that there is a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
The current-year earnings estimates for Hamilton Lane have been revising upward. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has surged 0.2% over the past month.
Bottom Line
Hamilton Lane has not only earned a Growth Score of B based on a number of factors, including the ones discussed above, but it also carries a Zacks Rank #2 because of the positive earnings estimate revisions.
You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
This combination indicates that Hamilton Lane is a potential outperformer and a solid choice for growth investors.

Italy's Ferragamo tempers market expectations on 2024 profit
MILAN, Oct 15 (Reuters) -
Italy's Salvatore Ferragamo said on Tuesday that operating profit this year would be at the lowest end of current analyst estimates after revenues fell 7.2% at constant exchange rates in the third quarter, hit by weak demand in Asia.
The slowdown in demand for luxury goods, especially in mainland China, is making the group's turnaround harder.
"Decreasing consumer confidence is most notable in Asia Pacific, which has been the main negative driver of our sales performance," Chief Executive Marco Gobbetti said in a post-results call with analysts.
Gobbetti later quantified the lowest expectations for operating profit at around 30 million euros ($32.7 million).
Revenues totalled 221 million euros in the third quarter, below analysts' expectations of 229 million euros, according to a consensus cited by analysts.
Net sales in the Asian Pacific area, which accounts for around 31% of Ferragamo's total revenues, declined 20.5% in the period.
"The current context adds pressure on our top-line and profitability, therefore delaying the timing of the delivery of our financial objectives" Gobbetti said in the statement.
Ferragamo's peers are also facing tough times.
Global luxury bellwether LVMH, whose portfolio spans Louis Vuitton and Dior fashion and accessories, Tiffany & Co jewellery and Sephora cosmetics, said on Tuesday its third quarter sales fell 3%. ($1 = 0.9176 euros) (Reporting by Elisa Anzolin, editing by Alvise Armellini/Keith Weir)

Biden administration writes to Israel demanding it improve Gaza humanitarian situation
CNN
By Jeremy Diamond, Natasha Bertrand and Kylie Atwood, CNN
(CNN) — The Biden administration sent a letter to the Israeli government demanding it act to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza within the next 30 days or risk violating US laws governing foreign military assistance, suggesting US military aid could be in jeopardy.
The Sunday letter, jointly written by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, is addressed to Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant and Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer. It marks a significant new step by the US to try to compel Israel to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza.
They write that the US has deep concerns about the situation and ask for “urgent and sustained actions by your government this month to reverse this trajectory.”
Since this Spring, the amount of aid delivered to Gaza has dropped more than 50% and the quantity delivered in September “was the lowest of any month during the past year,” they added.
The letter notes that the US State and Defense departments, under US law, “must continually assess” Israel’s adherence to its assurances made earlier this year that it would not restrict aid flows into the enclave.
The deadline falls after the US presidential election on November 5.
“We are particularly concerned that recent actions by the Israeli government – including halting commercial imports, denying or impeding nearly 90 percent of humanitarian movements between norther and southern Gaza in September, continuing burdensome and excessive dual-use restrictions, and instituting new vetting and onerous liability and customs requirements for humanitarian staff and shipments – together with increased lawlessness and looting – are contributing to an accelerated deterioration in the conditions in Gaza,” Blinken and Austin write.
This story is breaking and will be updated.

Impact Plastics and CEO Gerald O'Connor sued by family of worker killed by Hurricane Helene flooding
Impact Plastics and its CEO, Gerald O'Connor, have been sued by the family of one of its Tennessee employees who was killed by catastrophic flooding caused by Hurricane Helene. The wrongful death lawsuit claims that workers were forced to stay at their posts even when managers knew conditions were growing dangerous.
Johnny Peterson was among the Impact Plastics employees who died Sept. 27 after Helene's flooding hit Erwin, a small, rural town in eastern Tennessee. Many of the surviving employees have stated they were not allowed to leave the plant in time to avoid the storm's impact.
Instead, it wasn't until water had flooded the plant's parking lot and the power went out that managers sent workers home.
"While most businesses in the area shut down to protect their employees, Impact Plastics and Mr. O'Connor chose profit," the lawsuit claims.
The raging waters swept 11 people away and only five were rescued. Two of them are confirmed dead and are part of a toll across six states that is nearly 250 dead. Four others from the factory are still missing after they were washed away in Erwin, where dozens of people about a mile away were also rescued off the roof of a hospital.
"Based on information we've uncovered, including accounts from surviving employees, we believe this tragedy could have been avoided," Alex Little, an attorney representing Peterson's family, said in a statement. "Impact Plastics was aware of the flood risks, and while employees requested permission to leave, the company failed to act. We will hold them accountable."
The 28-page lawsuit, filed Monday, alleges that Impact Plastics didn't have an emergency action plan, even though the factory was located in a federally-designated flood plain.
The lawsuit claims that while local schools and other businesses announced closures because of Hurricane Helene, Impact Plastics instructed its employees to report to work because the company "wanted to meet order deadlines."
One employee told CBS Mornings earlier this month that the deaths of his co-workers were "senseless."
"Everyone was in pure panic mode, not knowing what to do," Impact Plastics employee Richard Jarvis told CBS. "We had no evacuation plan whatsoever."
O'Connor's attorney did not immediately respond to an email requesting comment Tuesday.
Allegations in the Impact Plastics lawsuit
The suit also provides a sobering breakdown of Peterson's final moments with his family, including text messages revealing his fears that he would not escape the flood waters.
Just hours prior, the lawsuit says employees began receiving notifications around 10 a.m. urging all who could to evacuate to higher ground. At around 10:30 a.m., employees were instructed to move their cars because the parking lot was flooding.
The lawsuit goes on to claim that senior management, including O'Connor, had "stealthily exited the building" around 11:35 a.m. and employees believed they were dismissed from work. Peterson, who had stepped outside, went back into the building to help employees "trapped inside" but eventually became trapped himself after the water made it impossible to leave by car.
Peterson managed to climb onto a bed of a semi-trailer attempting to escape the area. But by about 1 p.m., the parking lot was completely submerged, toppling telephone polls and caving in the walls of the Impact Plastics building, the lawsuit claims.
"Johnny knew he could not survive much longer as the water levels continued to swell and pummel the semi-trailer. He texted his daughter for the last time at 1:17 p.m. 'I love you allllll,' he managed to type out.
"This was the last text Alexa Peterson received from her father," the lawsuit stated.
"Johnny's father tried in desperation to reach emergency services but could not. At 1:27 p.m., he asked his son 'You ok,' to which his son responded 'Not for Long.' This was the last text Johnny sent to anyone," the lawsuit continued.
The lawsuit alleges that Impact Plastics and O'Connor's actions represent a "gross deviation from the standard of care that an ordinary person would exercise under all the circumstances."
Tennessee investigation
The lawsuit comes after the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation announced earlier this month that it was investigating allegations involving Impact Plastics at the direction of the local prosecutor. The state's workplace safety office has also opened its own probe into the circumstances behind the deaths.
Impact Plastics has maintained that it monitored weather conditions on Sept. 27 and that managers dismissed employees "when water began to cover the parking lot and the adjacent service road, and the plant lost power."
Meanwhile, O'Connor has said no employees were forced to keep working and they were evacuated at least 45 minutes before the massive force of the flood hit the industrial park.

Multan: Kamran Ghulam hit a superb century on his debut to guide Pakistan to 259-5 on the opening day of the second Test against England in Multan on Tuesday.
The 29-year-old replaced out-of-form Babar Azam at No 4 and foiled England’s aggressive bowling and fielding to score a brilliant 118.
At close, Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Agha were unbeaten with 37 and five respectively.
The day ended Ghulam’s frustrating long wait for a place in the Pakistan team after he smashed a national record 1,249 runs in the 2020 season.
Ghulam led a fightback after Pakistan — who won the toss and batted — were struggling at 19-2 with England spinner Jack Leach striking twice in the first hour.
Ghulam added 149 for the defiant third wicket with Saim Ayub, who hit a career-best 77, and another 65 for the fifth wicket with Rizwan.
He reached three figures with a boundary off spinner Joe Root, taking 280 minutes and becoming Pakistan’s 12th batter to score a century in his first Test.
With just half an hour before stumps, Ghulam was bowled by spinner Shoaib Bashir, ending a resolute 323-minute knock spiced with 11 fours and a six.
England employed a short mid-off and two mid-wicket fielders to get wickets but the Multan pitch — the same used for the first Test — gave very little help to the spinners after some early promise.
Skipper Ben Stokes, one of two changes from England’s thumping innings win in the first Test, bowled five overs and showed no signs of the hamstring injury that forced him to miss the first Test.
Matthew Potts ended Ayub’s knock with a catch at short mid-off while Brydon Carse removed Saud Shakeel for four, the dismissals coming either side of the tea interval.
Leach has figures of 2-92 while Bashir, Carse and Potts have a wicket each.
Earlier, Abdullah Shafique was bowled by Leach for seven in the eighth over of the morning with the score on 15.
In his next over, the left-arm spinner had skipper Shan Masood caught low at short midwicket by Zak Crawley for three.
England lead the three-match series 1-0.
Pakistan’s defeat last week — their sixth in as many Tests — prompted the selectors to make wholesale changes, with Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah and Abrar Ahmed dropped.
Other than Ghulam, Pakistan also brought in the spin trio of Sajid Khan, Zahid Mahmood and Noman Ali, leaving them with only one fast bowler in Aamer Jamal.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Don Williams, an award-winning country singer with love ballads such as "I Believe in You," died Friday. He was 78.
Also Friday, Troy Gentry, one-half of the award-winning country music duo Montgomery Gentry, died in a helicopter crash hours before a concert, according to a statement from the band's website. He was 50.
A statement from Williams' publicist said he died after a short illness.
Williams had 17 No. 1 hits and was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2010. His mellow sound influenced a later generation of singers, including Joe Nichols and Josh Turner.
Williams, nicknamed "the Gentle Giant," had a rich voice, gentle delivery and storytelling style.
His hits included "I Believe in You," "Lord, I Hope This Day Is Good," "You're My Best Friend," "Some Broken Hearts Never Mend," "Till the Rivers All Run Dry" and "Back in My Younger Days."
Authorities said Gentry's helicopter crashed in a wooded area while approaching the Flying W Airport in Medford, New Jersey, hours before Montgomery Gentry was due to perform at a resort that is housed at the airport.
The band's website called Gentry's death "tragic" and said details of the crash are unknown.
Montgomery Gentry had success on the country charts and country radio in the 2000s, scoring No. 1 hits with "Roll With Me," "Back When I Knew It All," "Lucky Man," "Something to Be Proud Of" and "If You Ever Stop Loving Me."

Supreme Court divided in case of a trucker fired after taking CBD elixir
By John Fritze, CNN
(CNN) — The Supreme Court appeared sharply divided Tuesday in the case of a former commercial truck driver who was fired after a failed drug test he said was caused by a “CBD-rich medicine.”
A decision in the case, expected next year, could determine the ability of Americans to collect substantial damages under an anti-mob law if they lose their job after being injured by products.
The question before the court involved whether the driver, Douglas Horn, was permitted to file his lawsuit under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations, or RICO, Act, which authorizes civil lawsuits – and allows plaintiffs to collect triple damages – for business or property harms.
After just more than an hour of argument on Tuesday, it appeared the case could divide the court’s conservative justices, some of whom seemed sympathetic to Horn’s position and others who were wary of opening up the ability for people to seek large awards for run-of-the-mill injury claims.
Medical Marijuana Inc., and other companies involved in distributing the CBD product, argued Horn’s injury was a personal one – and therefore not a business or property harm as required in the law. That drew sharp pushback from the court’s liberal wing, especially Justice Elena Kagan.
“If you’re harmed when you lose a job, then you’ve been injured in your business, haven’t you?” Kagan asked the lawyer for the companies. The law, Kagan said, “just says if you’ve been injured by a RICO violation in your business, which includes your employment, then you’re entitled to threefold damages.”
But several of the court’s conservatives, including Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh, appeared concerned about opening a floodgate of RICO lawsuits for relatively minor injuries.
Kavanaugh described Horn’s position as representing a “dramatic, really radical shift in how tort shifts are brought throughout the United States.”
Horn worked as a commercial trucker for 14 years but suffered debilitating pain after a serious accident. He came across an ad for a new “CBD-rich medicine” called “Dixie X” that proclaimed to have no THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.
Horn tried the product in 2012 and failed his drug test weeks later.
He sued in the Western District of New York in 2015, alleging in part that Medical Marijuana Inc., and other companies involved in the distribution of Dixie X, violated the Controlled Substances Act and engaged in mail and wire fraud.
A federal district court ruled against Horn, but the New York-based 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals allowed his suit to move forward. The company appealed to the Supreme Court a year ago, arguing in part that the RICO Act never contemplated “garden-variety products-liability” suits.
Allowing Horn to sue, the company has said, would vastly expand the number and type of “civil RICO” lawsuits.
President Richard Nixon signed the federal RICO Act in 1970 to give prosecutors more power to go after the heads of organized crime families. Several states have enacted their own versions of the law. In Georgia, prosecutors are attempting to use a state RICO law to prosecute former President Donald Trump for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results there.
The federal law also permits private lawsuits by individuals who were “damaged” in “business or property” in certain circumstances.

EXCLUSIVE-Harris holds steady, marginal 45%-42% lead over Trump, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds
By Jason Lange
WASHINGTON, Oct 15 (Reuters) - Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris held a marginal 3-percentage-point lead over Republican Donald Trump - 45% to 42% - as the two stayed locked in a tight race to win the Nov. 5 U.S. presidential election, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll found.
Harris also held a 3-percentage-point lead among likely voters, who supported her 47% to 44%. The poll had a margin of error of around 4 percentage points.
While the gap between the two remained steady compared with a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted a week earlier, the new poll, which closed on Sunday, gave signs that voters - particularly Democrats - might be more enthused about this year's election than they were ahead of the November 2020 presidential election when Democrat Joe Biden defeated Trump.
Some 78% of registered voters in the three-day poll - including 86% of Democrats and 81% of Republicans - said they were "completely certain" they would cast a ballot in the presidential election. The share of sure-to-vote poll respondents was up from 74% in a Reuters/Ipsos survey conducted Oct. 23-27, 2020, when 74% of Democrats and 79% of Republicans said they were certain to cast ballots.
Harris appears to be drawing strength from voters picking her as the better candidate for healthcare policy and for handling political extremism, although voters also rate the U.S. economy as the top issue in the election and said Trump was the better economic steward, according to the new poll.
The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll surveyed 938 U.S. adults online, nationwide, including 807 registered voters. Among these, 769 were considered the most likely to turn out on Election Day. (Reporting by Jason Lange in Washington; editing by Scott Malone and Jonathan Oatis)

Download Sample Report (238 Pages PDF with Insights, Charts, Tables, Figures):
The sheet form segment to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period
Based on type, the sheet form segment held the highest market share in 2021, accounting for nearly three-fifths of the global cork flooring market, and is estimated to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period, as sheet forms are lightweight sustainable,easy to maintain, and last as long as other types of wooden floors. However, the tile form segment is projected to manifest the highest CAGR of 6.2% from 2022 to 2031, owing to the various important features of tile forms such as durability, fire resistance, thermal, acoustic and other properties, and the fact that they enhance the aesthetic look of floors.
The new construction segment to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period
Based on construction type, the new construction segment held the highest market share in 2021, accounting for more than half of the global cork flooring market, and is estimated to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period. Rise in need for new construction to meet the needs of growing population is one of the major factors that drives the growth of the cork flooring market. However, the replacement segment is projected to manifest the highest CAGR of 6.2% from 2022 to 2031, due to the increase in replacement and renovation activities of old heritage buildings.
The residential segment to maintain its lead position during the forecast period
Based on end use industry, the residential segment accounted for the largest share in 2021, contributing to around three-fourths of the global cork flooring market, and is projected to maintain its lead position during the forecast period. Issues such as shortage of housing facilities and high costs of new construction drive the demand for renovation, which in turn, propels the need for cork floorings.

Lufthansa fined $4 million for blocking 128 Jewish passengers from boarding flight
Lufthansa has been fined $4 million after the German airline in 2022 refused to let 128 Jewish passengers board a flight, the U.S. government announced on Tuesday.
The carrier at the time apologized for the incident in which a large group of travelers — most wearing distinctive garb typically worn by Orthodox Jewish men — were blocked from getting on a connecting flight in Frankfurt, Germany.
Calling it inconsistent with its policies and values, Lufthansa said at the time it had zero tolerance for "racism, anti-semitism and discrimination of any type."
On May 3, 2022, 131 passengers began a journey from New York City to Budapest to attend an annual memorial event for an Orthodox rabbi. Based on "the misconduct of some passengers" on the initial leg to Frankfort, 128 passengers were prevented from continuing on to Budapest, according to a consent order issued by the Transportation Department.
Despite many of the passengers not knowing one another and not traveling together, Lufthansa treated the men as a single group and prevented all of them from boarding for the alleged misbehavior of a few, the U.S. Department of Transportation said.
The penalty is the largest ever issued by the agency against an airline for civil rights violations.
Lufthansa did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
"No one should face discrimination when they travel, and today's action sends a clear message to the airline industry that we are prepared to investigate and take action whenever passengers' civil rights are violated," Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg stated in the announcement.

Dubai: South Africa will keep their Women’s Twenty20 World Cup title hopes alive after booking their place in the semi-finals on a better run-rate to book a meeting with the defending champions Australia at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Thursday in a repeat of last editions final.
The South Africans heaved a sigh of relief after the West Indies defeated England convincingly in the final match of Group B that helped the Caribbean Islanders leapfrog England and South Africa to the top of the table, while six-time champions Australia and New Zealand qualified from Group A.
The competition is so close and intense, the final positions could be determined only in the last match of each groups, a proof that there is very little margins between the teams in the women’s competitions.
New Zealand defeated Pakistan in their final match on Monday to join Australia in the last four stage, while all three teams — England, South Africa and West Indies — were in the running for the two spots from Group B.
In the other semi-finals the West Indies will take on New Zealand at Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Friday.
India were in the running until a nine-run loss ended their dream in Sharjah on Sunday. Still, a win for Pakistan would have taken them into the last four, but that was not to be. The only consolation
for India will be that they have qualified for the next World Cup, to be held in England in 2026.

When the summer is ending and fall is fast approaching we kind of shift gears around our place. The work associated with a big garden is over. We've cleaned off the bigger garden and planted turnips, beets, radishes, rutabagas and turnips. We still have veggies in our high tunnels and in our small garden. During the summer we go to several farmers markets, but even these are slowing down. Many who bought veggies through the summer have about ate their fill of veggies, so they aren't buying much. We are pretty much down to only tomatoes, and we aren't getting that many of those.
Our hay has been baled and it's under cover. The lawn has really slowed down so we don't have to mow as often. With it being so dry we may almost be through mowing the yard. We could do some fencing. I would like to fence off a section of ground behind our house for our steers, but it is not a must. It just feels different during this time of the year. It's refreshing to go out in the morning and needing a flannel shirt for a while.
All through the summer we have cut fallen limbs and such and put under cover for burning in our wood stove this winter. Just a week or so ago we had a big dead tree cut down along with some others trimmed. So all the bigger pieces are waiting to be split and stored for winter. Years ago we built an 8- by 36-foot lean-to for our firewood. It's about six feet tall so it holds a lot of wood. We don't quite have enough firewood, so we'll begin going back in the woods and cutting up fallen trees and branches. That's kind of enjoyable.
One thing I really enjoy in the fall is the cooler weather and all the benefits. I like sitting out in the evening as the day ends and just enjoying the quiet. I like to listen to the birds and watch the other critters. I really enjoy a good cup of coffee as the weather cools down. I drink coffee all summer, but when the weather cools coffee just hits the spot. All summer long I probably drink over a gallon of water or tea daily. In the fall I drink more coffee and a lot less tea and water. Once in awhile we'll build a small fire and enjoy sitting by it.
We usually sit in our side by side, close to the fences where we have our steers so they come looking for a pet or two. With the cooler weather they seem to perk up and enjoy themselves more. On a real cool morning they will run and buck and play. They feel good. Sometimes they will take after Dutchess, our dog, and give chase. It's kind of awesome watching an 800-pound steer chase a 50-pound dog for fun. Cooler weather seems to put an end to the flies that have bugged them all summer, so they can enjoy themselves. The one negative for our steers is the green grass is turning browner. Man, do they love that green grass.
Some of our trees are beginning to drop some leaves where it's been so dry. It's kind of sad in a way, but I still enjoy it. When the leaves have dropped it kind of opens up the view into the woods, and you can see the deer and squirrels and such. One other benefit is opening the sounds of the woods. When there are leaves on the trees you can't hear very good. But when the leaves have dropped, there is a carpet of dry leaves. Even a squirrel sounds like a train going through the woods.
As nights get longer and days shorter the water in our ponds and lakes will begin to cool down, which in turn makes the fish hungry. I love to spend time on the water trying to catch a bluegill or bass or crappie. With winter coming the fish are putting forth an effort to stock up on groceries so as to be ready. Many times they will come into the shallow water chasing after minnows or bugs. I've also caught them under persimmon trees by the edge of the water.
One of our spruce trees down by our one water tank has a vine growing in it. This vine has bell- or tulip-shaped flowers that are orange. The best part of this vine is it attracts hummingbirds, and this time of year there are always several going from flower to flower. So Marge and I sit and watch those little beauties fly as we fill the water tank. I should cut the vine out of the tree, but I hate to. I'll probably leave it where it attracts the hummingbirds. From what I've read the hummingbirds are migrating this time of the year. We'll miss them.
School is back in session so the buses are on the roads with the kids. I always enjoyed school, whether it was grade school or high school or college. Football games take up Friday and Saturday nights. We have lived in Nebraska, Oklahoma, Kentucky and Missouri, so we can root for any of these schools. I enjoy high school and college football. Players are filled with passion for the game, rather then the allure of money. I enjoy watching them all but will probably always have a special place in my heart for the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Slow down enough to enjoy the changing of the seasons as summer ends and fall begins. Take time for a slow cup of coffee or tea or a soda.

The body of a man who was found inside a partially zipped up suitcase in a wardrobe in a Drumcondra apartment was covered in bubble wrap with a plastic bag around his head, the Central Criminal Court has heard.
State Pathologist Dr Sallyanne Collis told Dean Caffrey’s murder trial on Tuesday that she examined the body of the deceased, Sean McCarthy, at a mortuary in Whitehall in Dublin. She was told that gardaí had discovered Mr McCarthy after the accused tipped them off that they would find the body in a wardrobe in his home.
When she opened the body bag, Dr Collis noted that the body was in a blue suitcase that was not fully zipped closed. The plastic wrapping, bubble wrap and shopping bag were secured with black and silver tape while a black elastic strap was held around the neck using carabiner clips.
When Dr Collis removed the wrappings, she found the body was “quite badly decomposed”, in keeping with the suggestion that Mr McCarthy had died four days before being found. She sent the body to the Mater hospital for a CT scan which revealed a bullet lodged in the back of the skull. The pathologist also noted a single gunshot entry wound above the left eyebrow.
Mary Lou McDonald accused of misleading Oireachtas last year over reasons for Niall Ó Donnghaile’s resignation
Dublin steakhouse Shanahan’s on the Green closed until further notice due to financial challenges
‘We moved in with each other after seven days. We got engaged after eight months’
Lessons from an Airbnb host: ‘Two sisters insisted we call the Bord Gáis emergency services because the radiator was too hot’
The cause of death, she said, was a gunshot wound to the head with no other contributing factors. The bullet damaged brain structures but would not have caused instant death because it did not damage the brainstem, she said.
Dr Collis further noted a laceration on the nose with an underlying fracture and bruises. There were further abrasions, bruises and areas of discolouration on the arms and legs.
Dr Collis agreed with defence counsel Lorcan Staines that she could not say how far away the gun was from Mr McCarthy when the shot was fired. She said that if the distance was less than 30cm , she would expect to find tattooing and suet soiling where explosive material leaving the gun stains the skin. She said she did not find any such staining but due to the body’s decomposition it is possible that the stains had been wiped away.
She also said she couldn’t assist regarding the trajectory of the bullet other than to say it entered at the forehead and travelled to the back of the skull. The laceration and fracture to the nose, she said, could have been caused before death but might also have occurred after death, while the body was being moved.
While a toxicology report was negative for drugs, Dr Collis said “ideal samples”, such as blood and urine, were not available due to decomposition. She used fluid from around the heart instead.
Dean Caffrey (38) of Beaucort, Achill Road, Drumcondra, Dublin 9 has pleaded not guilty to the murder of Sean McCarthy (28), from Ballymun, on a date between August 2nd and 7th 2022, both dates inclusive, in the State.
In her opening speech to the jury, prosecution counsel Cathleen Noctor said Mr Caffrey told gardaí that he had owed money for drugs to a third party but the debt was transferred to Mr McCarthy.
Mr Caffrey then agreed to store drugs and a firearm at his apartment but in late July, the accused said Mr McCarthy accused him of stealing heroin from one of the packages. On August 2nd, he said Mr McCarthy came to his apartment and demanded €5,000 for the missing heroin or Mr Caffrey would “leave in a body bag”.
He described Mr McCarthy holding a firearm as he stood between the kitchen and sittingroom when he was startled by a noise and turned away. Ms Noctor said: “A struggle ensued, the accused managed to secure the firearm from the deceased and ultimately the accused discharged the firearm in the direction of the deceased and inflicted the fatal wound.”
Ms Noctor said the accused told gardaí during interviews following his arrest that the gun “just went off” and elsewhere said he was acting in self-defence.
Counsel said that the prosecution intends to prove that Mr Caffrey intended to kill or cause serious injury when he discharged the firearm and that he is guilty of murder.
The trial continues before Mr Justice Paul McDermott and a jury of seven men and five women

BATON ROUGE – A trio of LSU players – quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, linebacker Whit Weeks, and defensive end Bradyn Swinson – have been recognized as SEC Players of the Week for their performance in the 29-26 overtime win over No. 8 Ole Miss on Saturday in Tiger Stadium.
Nussmeier earned SEC Offensive Player of the Week honors, while Weeks was tabbed as the league’s defensive player of the week and Swinson the defensive lineman of the week. The honor is the second for Nussmeier this year, while Swinson garnered his third player of the week honor in 2024.
Nussmeier, a junior, directed the Tigers on a game-tying drive late in the fourth quarter and then hit Kyren Lacy with a 25-yard TD pass on LSU’s first play in overtime to secure the win over the Rebels.
Nussmeier, who leads the SEC in touchdown passes with 18, completed 22-of-51 passes for 337 yards and three TDs in the overtime win. After the Tigers fell behind 23-16 with 3:15 to play, Nussmeier led LSU on a 13-play, 75-yard drive capped with a 23-yard TD pass to Aaron Anderson on fourth-and-5 to tie the game at 23-23.
In seven career starts, Nussmeier has led the Tigers to fourth quarter comebacks three times, including a road victory over South Carolina earlier this year and the ReliaQuest Bowl win over Wisconsin.
Earlier on that possession, Nussmeier converted a fourth-and-6 situation with a 14-yard completion to Mason Taylor that kept LSU’s chances for the win alive. Nussmeier also rushed for a pair of first downs in the game as LSU overcame a 10-0 deficit to beat Ole Miss for the eighth straight time in Tiger Stadium.
Weeks recorded a career-best 18 tackles, including 2.0 tackles for loss, a sack and a forced fumble, in an inspiring performance that held Ole Miss to only three field goals in the second half and overtime. Ole Miss entered the contest averaging 44.0 points a contest.
Weeks’ forced fumble with less than a minute to go in second quarter led to an LSU field goal and pulled the Tigers to within 17-13 at halftime. He also sacked Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart for a 6-yard loss on final play of regulation, sending game to overtime.
Swinson also tallied a career-high eight tackles, including 2.5 tackles for loss, a pair of sacks, and batted down two passes in the victory. As a unit, LSU sacked Dart six times.
The victory propelled LSU up to No. 8 in the national rankings as the Tigers improved to 5-1 overall and 2-0 in league play. LSU returns to action on Saturday, traveling to face Arkansas (4-2, 2-1 SEC) in Fayetteville.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State said Thursday the Biden administration aims to lead the international bloc opposed to into a broader coalition to counter what it sees as a more serious, long-term threat to global order from China.
In a speech outlining the administration’s China policy, Blinken laid out a three-pillar approach to competing with Beijing in a race to define the 21st century’s economic and military balance.
While the U.S. sees Russia and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine as the most acute and immediate threat to international stability, Blinken said the administration believes China poses a greater danger.
“Even as President Putin’s war continues, we will remain focused on the most serious long-term challenge to the international order — and that is the one posed by the People’s Republic of China,” Blinken said.
“China is the only country with both the intent to reshape the international order — and, increasingly, the economic, diplomatic, military, and technological power to do it,” he said. “Beijing’s vision would move us away from the universal values that have sustained so much of the world’s progress over the past 75 years.”
Thus, Blinken laid out principles for the administration to marshal its resources, friends and allies to push back on increasing Chinese assertiveness around the world. Although he made clear that the U.S. does not seek to change China’s political system, rather it wants to offer a tested alternative.
“This is not about forcing countries to choose, it’s about giving them a choice,” he said.
However, he also acknowledged that the U.S. has limited ability to directly influence China’s intentions and ambitions and will instead focus on shaping the strategic environment around China.
“We can’t rely on Beijing to change its trajectory,” Blinken said in the speech, delivered at George Washington University. “So we will shape the strategic environment around Beijing to advance our vision for an open and inclusive international system.”
Blinken’s address was delivered overnight in China and there was no immediate reaction to the speech from the Chinese embassy in Washington.
The speech followed President Joe Biden’s just-concluded , where China loomed large in discussions. Biden raised eyebrows during that trip when he said that the United States would in the event of an invasion by China, which regards the island as a renegade province.
The administration scrambled to insist that Biden was not changing , and Blinken restated that the U.S. has not changed its position. Blinken said Washington still holds to its , which recognizes Beijing but allows for unofficial links with and arms sales to Taipei.
“Our approach has been consistent across decades and administrations. The United States remains committed to our ‘One China’ policy. We oppose any unilateral changes to the status quo from either side,” he said, adding that “we do not support Taiwan independence.”
Blinken said that while U.S. policy on Taiwan has remained consistent, China’s had become increasingly belligerent.
He made the case that the global response to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine can serve as a template for dealing with China’s efforts to mold a new and unpredictable world order to replace the rules and institutions that have guided relations between states since the end of World War II.
China, Blinken said, has benefited greatly from that international order but is now trying to subvert it under the leadership of President Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party.
“Rather than using its power to reinforce and revitalize the laws, agreements, principles, and institutions that enabled its success, so other countries can benefit from them, too, Beijing is undermining it,” Blinken said. “Under President Xi, the ruling Chinese Communist Party has become more repressive at home and more aggressive abroad.”
Yet, Blinken also decried the rise in in the United States, saying Chinese Americans and other Asian Americans have the same claim to the U.S. as any other immigrants or their descendants.
Investment in along with stepping up diplomatic outreach to potentially vulnerable countries are other elements of the policy and are key to the U.S. approach, Blinken said.
In the latest manifestation of China’s push to expand its reach that has drawn concern from the U.S. and other democracies, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Thursday began an eight-nation during which Beijing hopes to strike a sweeping agreement that covers everything from security to fisheries.
Wang opened his tour in the Solomon Islands, which last month signed with China that some fear could lead to a Chinese military presence there. The agreement was finalized shortly after the Biden administration announced it would open as part of its efforts to engage in the greater Indo-Pacific region.
The Biden administration has largely kept in place confrontational policies toward China adopted by its predecessor in response to Chinese actions in its western Xinjiang region, Hong Kong, Tibet and the South China Sea.
And, while the administration sees areas for working with Beijing, such as combatting climate change, it will not trade cooperation for compromising on its principles regarding human rights and rule of law, Blinken said.

Steelers open door for Russell Wilson to start
Russell Wilson is back in the running to be the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are off to a 4-2 start with Justin Fields operating the offense.
Wilson will take first-team reps alongside Fields in preparation for facing the New York Jets in primetime on Sunday, head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday.
"Russ proved his health last week," Tomlin said. "We're looking hard at it this week. It is up for consideration."
Pittsburgh is tied for first place in the AFC North. The Steelers made a decision in the offseason to go another direction at quarterback, moving on from 2022 first-round pick Kenny Pickett and top backup Mason Rudolph. They combined for 10 total touchdowns -- the same number Fields has through six games -- in 17 regular-season games in 2023.
Wilson, 35, has started at least 14 regular-season games every season since he was drafted by the Seahawks in 2012. He was active for the first time last week at Las Vegas as the No. 2 quarterback behind Fields.
"Over the course of the week, I got comfortable with his ability to display his health," Tomlin said of why Wilson is back in the picture.
"You knock it off to a degree just getting an in-helmet perspective on the work," Tomlin said. "The reactions, the see-to-do, and some of those things. There's also a totality of his resume as well that makes you more comfortable than guys with shorter resumes in that regard, in terms of his ability to play ball on a limited amount of exposure. I have that mentality about guys at other positions. Veteran players, there's just comfort that comes with experience in those sometimes uncomfortable conversations."
Tomlin said the Steelers are in no hurry to determine a starter, adding Wilson needs to "knock the rust off" in practice after not playing in a game since August.
Fields and Wilson competed for the starting job in training camp, when Wilson was bothered by a calf injury. Tomlin took the decision down to the final preseason game before declaring Wilson, who is still listed No. 1 on the team's official depth chart, the starter entering Week 1.
But by midweek entering the opener at Atlanta, Wilson's calf injury had emerged again and Fields took all of the reps with the starting offense. He's been the QB1 for the first six games this season while Wilson was working to return, primarily in position drills.
Fields has five touchdown passes, one interception and a passer rating of 93.9. He's also tied for fifth in the NFL with five rushing touchdowns.

Dubai: The West Indians are born to play Twenty20, be it the men’s or the women’s teams. The 2016 champions made a mockery of the England bowling, racing to a six-wicket win to secure a place in the semi-finals of the Women’s Twenty20 World Cup at the Dubai International Stadium on Tuesday.
After a blazing start, aided by poor catching from England, the West Indies surged to 102 for no loss, chasing a challenging target of 142 on a pitch that offered good assistance to the bowlers.
However, when Qiana Joseph and skipper Hayley Matthews batted, it seemed like they were playing on a different pitch, each scoring half-centuries. But when both departed within six deliveries, England saw a glimmer of hope. Yet, it wasn’t to be, as the West Indies cruised home with two overs to spare.
Joseph’s aggression sets the tone
“Matthews told me to just back myself and go through with the line of the ball. I was real aggressive at the start and that followed me through my innings,” Joseph told the broadcasters after receiving the Player of the Match award. “It was a bit challenging at first, but I backed myself and played through the line.”
It was a contest between two former champions — a make-or-break situation for the West Indies. A loss would have ended the 2016 champions’ run in this World Cup, but instead, they shattered England’s dream, leaving the Three Lions disappointed after a near-perfect run in the tournament.
Key breakthroughs
Another twin strike added more drama towards the end, but it wasn’t enough to change the outcome of this fairytale victory. The first win for the West Indies against England in 14 games could not have come at a better time. The last time the West Indies defeated England in a Twenty20 match was in St. Lucia in 2018.
Despite missing top batter Stafanie Taylor, the West Indians produced an outstanding opening partnership, with Joseph scoring her maiden half-century. This is the third time West Indies have successfully chased a target in this World Cup.
“I don’t think many people had us as semi-finalists. Up against the odds tonight, but to put up a performance like that with the bat — Joseph scoring her first T20I fifty — what a time to do that. For the first six or so overs of our innings, it did slide on a bit better. We have been chasing (before in this tournament) and we back ourselves to knock off whatever runs are put on the board,” said Matthews, who will be playing her 100th Twenty20 International in the semi-finals against New Zealand on Friday.
“We have not won the World Cup yet. It will be a big game against New Zealand, and we are up for the challenge. Everyone knows their roles, what they want to do, and on the day, we want to execute. I feel we are peaking at the right time, and, hopefully, we can see something even better in the semi-final,” she added.
England didn’t get the start they wanted and were 61 for three at the halfway mark. An untimely injury to England skipper Heather Knight further hampered their momentum in the final stages. Nat Sciver-Brunt, however, battled through, scoring an unbeaten 57 to give England’s bowlers a fighting chance.
While Sciver-Brunt was fortunate to survive a leg-before decision — replays showed that the ball would have hit the stumps — West Indies had only themselves to blame for exhausting both their reviews. Sciver-Brunt eventually bore the brunt while bowling, watching Joseph dropped three times off her deliveries before finally breaking through in the 13th over.
By then, the West Indian openers had already inflicted significant damage, leaving England with a tough task midway through their innings. Talented England batter Maia Bouchier dropped Joseph thrice, including one difficult chance, while Sophia Dunkley and Alice Capsey also let opportunities slip away. These costly mistakes contributed to England’s downfall.
“It’s really frustrating and bad timing for me and tough to watch. Credit to them, they came at us hard, played the conditions well, and put us under the pump,” Knight said. “I don’t think we were far off. There was a bit of turn in the surface, and it was tough at times. We bowled too short and they played it well. That partnership was top-quality. In a tournament like this, you slip up once and it can be costly.”
Brief scores:
West Indies beat England by 6 wickets. England 141/7 in 20 overs (Nat Sciver-Brunt 57 not out, Heather Knight 21 rtd hurt; Afy Fletcher 3/21, Hayley Matthews 2/35). West Indies 144/4 in 18 overs (Hayley Matthews 50, Qiana Joseph 52, Deandra Dottin 27).

A woman has told a jury that a physiotherapist asked her if she wanted a “happy ending” massage, and touched her breasts during treatment for back pain.
The man, in his 30s, who is not being named due to reporting restrictions, has pleaded not guilty to sexual assault by touching her pubic area, vagina, breasts and buttocks at a gym in the midlands on a date in 2021.
The trial commenced on Tuesday afternoon before Judge Ronan Munro and a jury at Mullingar Circuit Criminal Court.
Ed O’Mahony, in his opening statement for the prosecution, told the jury of nine men and three women that the complainant contacted the accused about her scoliosis diagnosis.
‘We moved in with each other after seven days. We got engaged after eight months’
Lessons from an Airbnb host: ‘Two sisters insisted we call the Bord Gáis emergency services because the radiator was too hot’
Dublin landlord Paul Howard hit with tax penalty of more than €1m
Proposal to relocate RTÉ in GPO considered by Dublin taskforce
In evidence, the woman, in her 20s, told the jury that she played sports and had dealt with physios for her scoliosis and severe back pain. She had been doing generic programmes but wanted expert treatment.
The trial heard that she made an appointment with the accused after contacting him via social media and by email.
She went to a room with a physio table. She told the trial that she wore cycling shorts and a long-sleeve top.
The complainant said the accused got her to stand and “looked me up and down” and put one hand on her right rib cage, and the other whole hand covered her left breast for a couple of seconds.
The woman said he told her it was her pectoral muscle, and tension was causing her back issues.
The witness said she thought this was unusual but trusted in his professional judgment. She said he told her to take off her top and shoes. She still had a sports bra on and lay face down, and he got a towel.
She said he told her to put it over her back and carried on working on her.
She alleged he later told her to take off her top. He left the room but returned quickly and she dived down on the bed to cover up because she was completely exposed.
The woman said she lay face down, and he began rubbing her belly with both hands, which she found very unusual and something she had never previously experienced during physio.
The complainant said he talked about her work and that he began to make inappropriate comments. She claims he told her she was “in some nick” and “in some shape”. She claimed he told her that her job must be stressful “and asked if I had ever had a massage with a happy ending”, which she understood to be a sexual massage, or a Thai massage.
She told the jury she replied “No” and thought he was testing how she would respond.
The woman said he asked her to pull down her shorts, which she said was normal for physio, and he began to work on her hip bone. She said that a towel or blanket was moved down and alleged that he pushed really hard near her tailbone causing her pain. He gave a scientific explanation for the soreness.
The woman said he told her to take off her shorts and stepped out, but she did not have a chance to reposition the towel before he came back and told her “he would have taken them off me quicker”.
She said she was wearing just a thong and was covered with the towel, and he continued to work on her glutes and hip before she was asked to turn on her back. The woman said she rolled over and was face up, and he asked her if she wanted to put on an audiovisual headset, and she did.
The woman alleged that he moved the headphones to tell her he was going to work on her chest and groin “in case you think there is anything funny going on”.
The woman said around this time, he told her: “This never happened to me before, but I’m getting hard working on you.” She said she ignored it, closed her eyes and froze.
The complainant said that as he worked on her chest and neck, he removed the towel and touched both her breasts lightly with his fingers like a massage as she lay face up. The woman alleged he rubbed the whole way to her hips.
She told the jury that he said he was going to lose his job over her and that he was wondering if she was thinking the same thing. She said “absolutely not” and that she had self-control.
The woman said he told her, “You are bold, you are bold, I would say you’re wild”.
The complainant said she was terrified, so she put the headphones and goggles back on as a distraction and kept her eyes closed. She said he told her he was releasing a pressure point and touched her not far from her vagina.
The woman told the court she asked him what he was doing, and he used a scientific name.
She testified that it was “absolutely not” similar to groin injury treatment she received previously.
Afterwards the woman alleged the accused told her that he would finish her off in 30 seconds with just his hands. “When I said no, he said, ‘You wouldn’t be saying that if I had my clothes off’”.
She told the jury he told her she did not have to pay but she did.
She told a friend who lived in the area after she left what happened and later called her sister. She said she blamed herself for letting it happen but said she just froze.
The trial continues on Wednesday.

Multan: One of a dozen brothers, Kamran Ghulam got used to waiting his turn for a bat as a child.
He then had to wait for his Pakistan debut, but it all seemed worth it on Tuesday when he scored a century against England in Multan.
The 29-year-old debutant made a terrific 118 on the opening day of the second Test, anchoring the hosts to 259-5.
Dawood, one of the 10 older brothers, said Ghulam had learnt to be patient from very early on.
“We used to play cricket at our village and would not allow Kamran to bat on the pretext that ‘you are very small’,” Dawood told AFP from Peshawar, in Pakistan’s northwest, on the phone.
“He was a good fielder so we used to order him to field only and like a very obedient boy he would follow, and that patience has seen him through difficult times.”
Six of the brothers played for the same club in their village in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and would often be at loggerheads over who should bat first.
“It was normal to have a fight, but at the end of the day we always returned home happy and today we are at the height of our happiness,” said Dawood, 40.
“Our late father always wanted Ghulam to become a good player but he died 22 years ago.
“He would have been the happiest in the family.”
Since his first-class debut in 2013, Ghulam has piled on runs in all three formats of the game with his best coming in 2020-21 when he amassed 1,249 runs in 11 domestic matches.
That broke a 36-year record.
Ghulam was included in Pakistan’s preliminary squad for a home series against South Africa in 2021 but was not given a chance.
He said he knew his opportunity would come some day — as long as he was patient.
“They say the fruit of patience is always sweet and it is proved today,” said Ghulam after his opening-day heroics in Multan.
“I was eager for my chance and had always thought whenever it will come I will make it worthwhile.”
Last year Ghulam was in Pakistan’s squad against New Zealand in a one-day international in Karachi but he only got a chance as a substitute for Haris Sohail, who suffered concussion.
Ghulam’s full Test debut finally came as he replaced out-of-form Babar Azam following Pakistan’s innings defeat last week.
“There was pressure of replacing Azam so I had to do something special,” said Ghulam.
“So I am delighted that I am successful in achieving a feat and my wait is over.”

What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas.
In fact, sometimes the unfolding events in Sin City are broadcast live on a large screen at JR's Bar & Billiards in Cape Girardeau.
That was the case last month, when Brew Crew II, an eight-man pool team from Southeast Missouri, was concluding its hot roll on the tables at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino.
Playing 1,500 miles away from where their journey originated, Brew Crew hit pay dirt when Todd Scott banked in an 8-ball shot to cap a nine-match winning streak and claim the $25,000 that went with winning the 2017 APA 8-Ball World Championship.
Brew Crew prevailed among 748 teams in the competition, winning 7-2 in the final to become the first local team in 16 years to win in Las Vegas.
Mid America APA operator Brad Jones watched the broadcast at JR's with some of the league's vanquished. The Brew Crew already had navigated 121 teams, a journey which started by winning its weekly eight-team league division last fall. That qualified them for the 12 team Tri Cup Regional at Blue Diamond Sports Bar, where they won to advance to the 16-team World Qualifier in June at A.C. Brase Arena, which they also won to a spot in the Las Vegas field and $5,000 in travel expenses.
"That's huge. I'm proud of these guys," said Jones, who oversees APA league play in about 35 locations in Southeast Missouri.
Jones watched Brew Crew captain Eric Vines, Scott, Joey Heuring, Travis Hammontree, Ron Hammontree, Jeff Mathis, Larry Bailey and Hunter Davis finish their run of the table, which came after they dropped their third-round match that left them just one loss from elimination.
Also watching the final play out was Tracy Dietrich, the captain of Spun Off, whose team earned the trip to Las Vegas a year earlier along with the label of "team to beat" in this year's World Qualifier. His team defended valiantly but ultimately was the final obstacle for Brew Crew, whose members predominantly are from East Prairie, Missouri.
Scott also provided a big win in that match, defeating Dietrich, a friend he's played with and against over the years.
"Believe it or not, I probably played my best match ever against Todd, and lost," Dietrich said.
While he didn't like losing, he turned into a Brew Crew cheerleader. A couple of his teammates joined him to for the feat of reaching the final.
"I was watching it at home, hootin' and hollerin' for them," said Dietrich, who lives in Cape Girardeau.
In the Las Vegas final, the Brew Crew started fast, with Ron Hammontree and his son winning the first two matches, just as they had done in the semifinals. They were able to ignore the livestream's camera and commentators, also present in the room.
"At that point you were excited and had all that blocked out," Ron Hammontree said.
Heuring followed by winning his match before Scott delivered the knockout blow, ending the two-hour final.
"I told Joey, 'This is a $25,000 shot,'" Vines said before Scott's clincher. "Never a doubt in my mind. One-hundred percent of the time, when we got Todd up there, he does his job."
Scott, Vines and Heuring had played in Vegas before with their highest finish 17th place.
"You always want to finish better than you did the last time," Scott said. "I guess that was our expectation, but honestly, everybody that goes out there is trying to win it. It's tough. Every team, they're there for a reason, too."
The five other team members were making their Vegas debut.
"It was probably a once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing for me," Ron Hammontree said. "I really enjoyed it. A lot of teams, a lot of pressure, a lot of good people."
The winnings would have dropped more than $10,000 with a loss in the final. Each man received $3,125 from the grand prize.
It was a good payday for Davis, who was headed off days later for Lindenwood University, where he is on the roster of the billiards team.
However, the payout was not life altering. Scott had yet to buy anything notable with his share, while others joked about bland expenditures -- Heuring "paid bills" and Mathis "gave it to my wife."
Ron Hammontree said a highlight of the trip was experiencing it all with his son, Travis.
"I didn't think we'd go as far as we did," Ron Hammontree said. "It was just a team effort. My son plays on the team, too. It was a fun thing for both of us. We really enjoyed it."
He even stopped at a tattoo parlor after the victory to get some planned ink work done, getting a tattoo to match one worn by Travis.
While the group was at the parlor, Vines was browsing about and came across a shamrock design. It's now on his arm, emblazoned with "Brew Crew 2017."
It's also on the arms of the Hammontrees and the leg of Mathis. The others did not bow to the peer pressure, which still persists.
While many people may not remember the circumstances that led to late-night body art and may later regret the decision, Vines wears his as a remembrance of the events that took place in Las Vegas.
"You just can't go out there and play good to win," Vines said. "You've got to get some rolls, some breaks. I saw that four-leaf clover and I thought it pretty well summed up our week."

No. 14 Texas A&M aims to continue 'growth' vs. Mississippi State
Texas A&M is riding high after a quality win, but the 14th-ranked Aggies don't want to slip up Saturday afternoon when they visit Mississippi State in Southeastern Conference action in Starkville, Miss.
The Aggies (5-1, 3-0) are coming off their best win of the season -- a 41-10 throttling of then-No. 9 Missouri on Oct. 5. Le'Veon Moss ran for a career-high 138 yards and three touchdowns against the previously undefeated Tigers, helping his team move up from No. 25 in the AP Top 25.
"We are in a growth mindset. ... We are trying to grow every single day," said Texas A&M coach Mike Elko, whose team had a bye last week.
Moss ranks second in the SEC and 17th nationally in rushing yards per game (101.5), although it certainly helps create space when Conner Weigman is as effective as he was against Missouri (18 of 22 for a season high 276 yards).
Meanwhile, Mississippi State (1-5, 0-3) is in the midst of a gauntlet against top-15 teams. The Bulldogs lost to No. 1 Texas 35-13 on Sept. 28 and then came up short against No. 5 Georgia 41-31 last weekend -- both games coming on the road. Now the Bulldogs are back home, but they're taking on a third straight ranked foe and looking to avoid their sixth straight defeat.
Michael Van Buren Jr. fared well against Georgia, throwing for 306 yards with three touchdowns in a competitive loss. Kelly Akharaiyi reeled in two scoring strikes, while Kevin Coleman Jr. led the receiving corps with eight grabs for 103 yards.
"They answered the challenge, they answered the bell," said Mississippi State coach Jeff Lebby, whose team is starting a true freshman (Van Buren) at quarterback after losing starter Blake Shapen (shoulder) for the season. "I hate that we're sitting here disappointed, frustrated, that we're not on the right side of it. But our guys are continuing to fight like heck for each other. And I'm proud of them."
The Bulldogs actually became the first team since Tennessee in 2016 to score at least 30 points against Georgia in Athens.
"I think they're starting to find an identity," Elko said.
On defense, Mississippi State safety Isaac Smith likely will be a focus of the Texas A&M game plan. Smith ranks second in the SEC with 56 tackles, which is good for 12th nationally.
For the Aggies, defensive back Marcus Ratcliffe is a key contributor with three interceptions in the last five games, while Nic Scourton leads Texas A&M with 4.5 sacks.
From a big-picture perspective, the two programs essentially have gone through opposite seasons to this point. Mississippi State won its opener before losing five in a row, while Texas A&M dropped its first game against then-No. 7 Notre Dame before winning five straight contests.
Texas A&M lost two consecutive meetings with Mississippi State before rolling to a 51-10 victory in last year's matchup. Still, the Aggies have lost four of their last five road meetings with the Bulldogs.
"We're not very good in Starkville as a program," Elko said. "That certainly is something we're very aware of. So we're going to have to play our best football to have success on Saturday."

2024 election update: Trump's 'bizarre' town hall, Harris down in new poll, countdown | Oct. 15
NEW YORK - As the campaign heats up, just three weeks until Election Day, many are questioning former President Donald Trump's health after his Monday town hall appearance, labeling it "bizarre."
After several interruptions from the crowd, Trump chose to play his campaign closing song, swaying on stage for about 30 minutes as the audience gradually dispersed.
This comes amid new polling showing Trump rising from 44% to 48% and Harris dropping from 49% to 48%, drawing comparisons to polling after their first debate.

Latest polls
- 'Deadlocked': A new NBC News poll shows Trump and Harris are "deadlocked" in the race for president as Republicans are coming back to support Trump after last month's rough debate and Harris's popularity is declining following a summertime boost. (Oct. 14)
- Tightening race: Another poll by ABC News/Ipsos shows a tightening race - with Harris having 50% support to Trump’s 48% among likely voters. A similar ABC News/Ipsos poll in September showed Harris had a 5 percentage point lead over Trump. The Republican nominee's boost is likely fueled, in part, by dreary economic outlooks.
- AAPI voters: According to an AP-NORC/AAPI Data poll, Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander adults are more likely than the overall U.S. population to view legal immigration as an asset to the country’s economy and workforce. However, their concerns about risks posed by illegal immigration are nearly on par with those of Americans overall. (Oct. 14)

A couple of weeks after a Spanish website leaked the details of the new Kindle 12th generation early, things have been relatively quiet with the new entry-level Kindle e-reader. This changed today when John Lewis, a UK department store, started selling the Kindle 12th Gen and the Kindle 12th Gen Kindle Kids Edition. However, they have not listed the Kindle Paperwhite and are still selling the previous generation.

There was no immediate statement from Air India Express on the incident.
Singapore Armed Forces has scrambled two fighter jets to escort an Air India Express plane away from populated areas following a bomb threat before the aircraft landed safely at Singapore's Changi airport. The Air India Express plane operating flight IX 684 from Madurai to Singapore had received a bomb threat.
Singapore's Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen said Air India Express received an email that there was a bomb on board flight AXB684 that was bound for Singapore. "Two of our RSAF F-15SGs scrambled and escorted the plane away from populated areas, to finally land safely at Singapore Changi Airport at around 10:04 pm tonight," he said in a series of posts on X.

The Ground Based Air Defence (GBAD) systems and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) were also activated. Once on the ground, the plane was handed to the airport police, he said and added that investigations are going on.
"Many thanks to the dedication and professionalism of our SAF and Home Team that keep us safe in our homes, even when threats exist around us," he said. SAF refers to Singapore Armed Forces. The number of passengers onboard the aircraft could not be immediately ascertained. There was no immediate statement from Air India Express on the incident.

York Outer’s Labour MP has defended the appointment of a constituency office manager who has donated more than £55,000 to the party.
Luke Charters said Owen Trotter’s skills and experience had helped his office respond to hundreds of requests to help constituents since his appointment.
The Labour MP added Mr Trotter’s donations had all been transparently declared and they were not linked to his hiring.
It comes as Mr Charters has faced calls to explain the appointment of Mr Trotter to manage his office part-time following reports of his donations to Labour.
The Express reported that Mr Trotter, who runs the Key Capital Partners private equity firm, had donated £55,521.75 to Labour since 2019.
Electoral Commission records show he has made nine donations ranging from £2,221.75 to £20,000 to Labour both locally and nationally.
The latest donation, worth £2,300, was accepted on Tuesday, July 16, following Labour’s general election victory when Mr Charters won his York Outer seat.

Cllr Nigel Ayre, leader of the Liberal Democrat opposition group on City of York Council, told LDRS Mr Charters had serious questions to answer following the appointment.
The Liberal Democrat said: “This would appear to be a clear conflict of interest.
“Before the election Labour promised residents a: ‘clean-up that ensures the highest standards of integrity and honesty. We will make sure MPs focus on serving their constituents’.
“This is another in a long list of broken promises by York Labour.”
Chris Steward, leader of the Conservative Group on York Council, said: “Luke Charters urgently needs to clarify whether Owen Trotter is being paid by the taxpayer in his role as office manager.
"We also need to know what process was followed in appointing him to this role, and whether the job was fully opened up to other candidates."
But the York Outer MP said Mr Trotter had taken the role in the spirit of service and he had been chosen because he was best-placed to do the job.
Mr Charters added he had kept his election pledge not to take a second job while serving as an MP and had not personally accepted any hospitality gifts.
Those comments came after he was asked about concerns over Mr Trotter’s appointment in light of recent stories about Labour MPs accepting donations and gifts.
Mr Charters said: “I brought Owen into the team really quickly because I have people in crisis with their housing, immigration status and welfare.
“I wanted to get on with the job of delivering on that case work from day one, I didn’t want to wait.
“Owen’s had a career in private equity and he’s got lots of experience in business, he’s been really helpful in establishing my team who’ve been doing important work helping people in really tricky situations.
“Owen’s been a long-standing volunteer for Labour here, we’ve now got a dedicated team delivering at speed and we’ve responded to hundreds of cases, helping people in York Outer.
“As it’s something he’s doing part-time it’s a significant reduction in salary for him, so it’s something he’s doing from the perspective of service.
“All of the donations have been declared in the normal way, my priority is transparency and delivery.”
A Labour spokesperson said: “All donations are declared in the proper way in line with Parliamentary and Electoral Commission rules.”
All appointments by MPs are subject to Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) rules.

Saitama: Japan denied Australia a famous away victory after a 1-1 draw in Saitama in World Cup qualifying on Tuesday while South Korea and China both won.
Australia had never beaten Japan on Japanese soil but a Shogo Taniguchi own goal just before the hour gave the visitors a shock lead in front of a crowd of 60,000.
Cameron Burgess then scored an own goal with less than 15 minutes remaining to hand Japan an equaliser that keeps them on top of Group C on 10 points from four games.
Australia are second on five points, having taken one win and one draw in two games since new coach Tony Popovic replaced Graham Arnold last month.
Also in Group C, China beat Indonesia 2-1 at home to revive their qualification hopes.
The top two from each of the three Asian qualifying groups automatically reach the World Cup in North America.
South Korea are on course for 2026 and remain top of Group B after a 3-2 home win over Iraq, despite being without talisman Son Heung-min through injury.
Popovic said he was happy with the point in Japan after "a very resolute display defensively".
"They have a first 11 that are all players that play in top leagues in Europe," Popovic said of the hosts, who came into the clash with a perfect three wins.
"To keep them to the minimum - they will always have their moments because they have the quality - it was a very good display."
Australia's preparations were hampered when they arrived at Saitama Stadium 45 minutes later than scheduled after their team bus got stuck in traffic.
"Not ideal preparations but we didn't use that as an excuse - the players and staff were fantastic," said Popovic, who handed a first cap to 34-year-old midfielder Luke Brattan.
"The players had 10 minutes to get ready and we just dealt with the situation and they showed a fantastic performance today."
Substitutes make impact
Japan dominated possession but struggled to create clear-cut chances in the first half.
Australia's opener came against the run of play in the 58th minute when defender Taniguchi turned Lewis Miller's cross into his own net.
It was the first goal that Japan had conceded in nine games over two rounds of qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
"We hadn't conceded any goals before this game and then we went behind to an own goal," said Japan coach Hajime Moriyasu.
"The players continued to keep doing the right things and they handled it in a calm way.
"We didn't expect it to happen but they didn't let it get to them and they dealt with it."
Moriyasu brought on substitute wingers Keito Nakamura and Junya Ito after Australia's goal.
Nakamura forced the equaliser in the 76th minute when his cross was turned in by Burgess.
Both Nakamura and Ito caused Australia problems in a frantic end to the match but Japan could not find a late winner.
"The result maybe wasn't what we were looking for but to come back from conceding the first goal at home and then get the equaliser is a positive," said Japan captain Hidemasa Morita.
Japan are away in their next two qualifying games, against Indonesia and China next month.
Australia are at home to Saudi Arabia before travelling to face Bahrain, who beat them 1-0 in the opening game of the group.

We have a grandchild by marriage that came to the U.S. when he was 3 years old. He has been trying for the last one and a half years to get his citizenship. So far it hasn't been processed. He was told if he paid more money it would be processed more quickly. He is a law-abiding citizen. Holds a good job in which he has worked his way up to being a department manager. He owns his home. He is married and they will be expecting their first child in two months. Tell me what purpose would it prove to send him back to Mexico? He has never been there and speaks little Spanish. People who are in favor of sending the DACA population back to their birth country need to seriously look at the human aspect of these individuals and how it will affect them and their family members.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – LSU’s Flau’Jae Johnson and Aneesah Morrow were selected as Preseason Co-SEC Players of the Year in Monday’s preseason media poll while Mikaylah Williams was on the preseason Second Team All-SEC. LSU was selected to finish third in the league behind South Carolina and Texas.
It was a three-way tie for preseason player of the year as Johnson and Morrow shared the honor with Texas’ Madison Booker. With both Johnson and Morrow, LSU was the only team with multiple players on the preseason First Team All-SEC. The preseason poll consisted of votes from a panel of both SEC and national media members.
Kim Mulkey enters her fourth season at LSU. Johnson, Morrow and Williams are all starters who return from last year’s team that went to the Elite Eight. In addition to those three, LSU returns Last-Tear Poa and Sa’Myah Smith who both have starting experience at LSU too. The Tigers also brought in four transfers in Shayeann Day-Wilson, Kailyn Gilbert, Mjracle Sheppard and Jersey Wolfenbarger.
Johnson enters her junior season at LSU as one of the top returning guards in the league. She is coming off a sophomore season in which she averaged 14.9 points and 5.5 rebounds per game to earn a spot on the Second Team All-SEC. Johnson upped her play throughout the 2024 NCAA Tournament, averaging 20.5 points and 6.3 rebounds in four games as LSU reached the Elite Eight. The 2023 SEC Freshman of the Year, Johnson was a critical piece as a starter on LSU’s first National Championship team.
Senior Aneesah Morrow is entering her second season at LSU after averaging a double-double last season with 16.4 points and 10.0 rebounds per game to earn a spot on the First Team All-SEC. Her 21 double-doubles last year ranked No. 5 nationally. Not only is Morrow and threat scoring and rebounding, but her defensive prowess allowed her to gain 93 steals throughout the season which is tied for the third most in program history. Morrow, a Chicago native, who previously played in her hometown at DePaul enters the season ranked in the top-5 nationally in career scoring (2,178 points) and rebounding (1,229 rebounds) among active players. Morrow will make her return to Chicago on December 19 as LSU is scheduled to play at Illinois-Chicago to allow her to play in front of her hometown fans.
Williams is the reigning SEC Freshman of the Year as she will make her return to North Louisiana. Williams put together one of the best freshman seasons in LSU history last year, averaging 14.5 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game, becoming just the fifth LSU player to rank inside the top-10 in points and assists by a freshman in program history. She scored 20+ points in seven games, including a 42-point performance against Kent State, the most ever recorded by a LSU freshman during the NCAA Era.

Not many protest marchers need to be told the route to Dáil Éireann, but restaurateurs and publicans are not usually the protesting types.
About 1,000 members of the restaurant and pub trade left their businesses behind for a day to march from the Peppercanister Church in Dublin to Dáil Éireann via the Department of Finance where they blew whistles loudly and jeered.
“I don’t think I have ever been out on the street with a placard before,” said the matriarch of the Ballymaloe House business, Darina Allen. She got up at 6am to catch the early train to Dublin to walk with the other protesters.
Her business was doing okay, she said, but five restaurants had closed near her in Midleton, Co Cork and one restaurateur she knew hadn’t “paid herself for three months”.
‘We moved in with each other after seven days. We got engaged after eight months’
Lessons from an Airbnb host: ‘Two sisters insisted we call the Bord Gáis emergency services because the radiator was too hot’
Dublin landlord Paul Howard hit with tax penalty of more than €1m
Proposal to relocate RTÉ in GPO considered by Dublin taskforce
The main gripe among restaurateurs has been the Government decision made a year ago to restore the VAT rate from 9 per cent to 13.5 per cent and the failure to offer supports in the budget save for a €4,000 grant to help with energy costs.
Ms Allen said this came on top of increases in the cost of energy, the minimum wage and the price of raw ingredients which were driving small businesses to the wall. “These businesses are the life and soul of rural areas. Why did they not bring the VAT rate down to 9 per cent? I don’t understand. There is quite a lot of money in the exchequer to help people.”
The march was organised by the Restaurants Association of Ireland and by the Vintners’ Federation of Ireland (VFI) in the wake of more than 600 restaurants closing since the 13.5 per cent VAT rate was restored in September last year.
VFI chief executive Pat Crotty said the major drink suppliers were dealing with 1,400 fewer pubs than they were three years ago. He acknowledged that drinking patterns were changing and people were going to pubs less frequently, but the last “two years is entirely down to the Government”. Along with VAT, the minimum wage has increased by 36 per cent in the past four years. “There is no way we can put up our costs by that amount. The Government is putting people out of business.”
Joan McManus of the King Sitric pub and restaurant in Howth said her twice-monthly bill for VAT was in the order of €47,000. “Customers think there is a rip-off going on, there isn’t.”
Conor Maher of the Oarsman pub and restaurant in Carrick-on-Shannon said many businesses going to the wall were those with high standards. The Oarsman was busy, he said, but “we are treading water, we are finding it really tough. Something is broken.”
In Molesworth Street opposite the Dáil, RAI president Paul Lenehan, who co-owns four businesses in Co Kildare, exhorted those present to turn around and cheer themselves for the size of the crowd they had generated.
“None of us want to be here. We have been left with no other choice. We want to be at home in our restaurants, pubs and cafes doing what we love. We are the heartbeat of our towns and cities.”
Eimear Killian, manager of the Builín Blasta Cafe and Bakery in Spiddal, Co Galway, said the VAT rate hike had come on top of food costs trebling in the past two years.
“We are busy but we are not making any money. We are not going to be millionaires out of it. We just want to be able to pay our mortgages,” she said to cheers.
Cathal Sheridan of Sheridan’s Bar and Restaurant said he was the seventh generation of his family in the business, but there won’t be an eighth one if things did not “change immediately”.
“We will have to go to the Costa del Sol to see an Irish pub,” he said.

Adams health commissioner Ashwin Vasan to step down earlier than expected
NEW YORK - NYC Health Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan is reportedly resigning as soon as Friday, despite initially planning to step down at the end of the year. The reason for his early departure remains unclear.
Vasan's early resignation adds to a wave of departures among New York City officials, including Schools Chancellor David Banks and First Deputy Mayor Sheela Wright, as the Adams administration faces multiple federal investigations. The growing instability in leadership raises concerns about the administration's direction and effectiveness during a challenging period.
In a statement Tuesday, Vasan said: "As noted in the initial announcement of my resignation, it is time for the needs of my family to take precedence, despite how much I love this job, this work, and this agency. Those needs have taken on greater urgency, and so I have decided to move up my departure date to this Friday, October 18th."
See full list of Adams resignations here.
Who is Ashwin Vasan?
Vasan submitted his resignation in late Sept. explaining that he would leave his position by the end of the year.
Vasan joined the health department in 2022. Prior to his post he served as the founding Executive Director of the Health Access Equity Unit at the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
Vasan is a primary care physician, epidemiologist and public health expert with nearly 20 years of experience.
In a statement, Adams said, "his expertise as a mental health expert, coupled with his training as a public health professional, have proven indispensable to our city over the past two-and-a-half years as we’ve handled rising COVID rates, Mpox outbreaks, and a mental health crisis both on our streets and in our schools."
It is unclear at this time who Vasan's replacement will be.

Brazil police probe to tie Bolsonaro to coup bid, end in November, source says
By Ricardo Brito
BRASILIA, Oct 15 (Reuters) -
An investigation by Brazil's federal police will conclude that former president Jair Bolsonaro conspired to engineer an attempted coup d'etat after he lost the 2022 election, a source with direct knowledge of the investigations told Reuters.
Signs of Bolsonaro's involvement in editing a draft decree to overturn the election results will be reinforced by further evidence collected by the federal police using search and seizure warrants, according to the source.
The probe is expected to be finished by November.
Bolsonaro's lawyers did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The far-right former president has always denied any wrongdoing.
The source, who requested anonymity to discuss the topic, said that new evidence implied that Bolsonaro and his allies had engineered a scheme to prevent the inauguration of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva as president at the end of 2022.
The investigation was once expected to conclude by August but was extended after police asked to see evidence from a separate probe into alleged
illegal surveillance
of Bolsonaro's political adversaries while he was president.
The source said a riot on
Jan. 8, 2023
by Bolsonaro supporters, who invaded and ransacked Brazil's Congress, Supreme Court and presidential palace a week after Lula's inauguration, appeared to have been "the last breath of an attempted coup".
The source also said new evidence had been found on the cell phones of people targeted by the investigation, but did not detail what might be included in the final report, expected to be sent to the Supreme Court next month.
Bolsonaro has already been formally accused by federal police of
tampering
with COVID-19 vaccination cards, and also of embezzling
jewelry
gifted by the Saudi government.
He has also been
barred from public office
until 2030 after being convicted by Brazil's top electoral court of abuse of power and misuse of the media to spread unfounded claims about the electronic voting system. (Reporting by Ricardo Brito; Writing by Luana Maria Benedito; Editing by Gabriel Araujo and Kevin Liffey)

(MENAFN- EIN Presswire)
Sports Sponsorship Size, Share-Trends
By type, the signage segment is the highest revenue contributor to the market and is estimated to reach $58,383.6 million by 2032, with a CAGR of 6.8%.
WILMINGTON, DE, UNITED STATES, October 15, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- The sports sponsorship market size was valued at $73.8 billion in 2022, and is estimated to reach $151.4 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2023 to 2032.
Request The Sample PDF Of This Report:
The term "sports sponsorship" is a contractual arrangement in which a firm or brand contributes money or other resources to a sports team, event, or athlete in exchange for publicity and promotional possibilities. It is a typical marketing tactic used by businesses to increase the visibility of their brand, connect with a certain demographic, and connect their brand to the thrill and morals of sports.
According to sports sponsorship market analysis, the market is analyzed on the basis of type, sports, application, and region. By type, the market is divided into signage, digital activation, club & venue activation, and others. Among these, the signage segment occupied the major sports sponsorship market share in 2022 and is projected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. AR technology is being used to improve the fan experience and offer potential for interactive signage. Fans view more information, unique effects, or even virtual products placed on actual signage via mobile applications or AR-capable devices. While enhancing sponsor exposure, augmented reality signage provides fans with entertaining and memorable experiences.
By sports, the sports sponsorship market is segmented into football, hockey, cricket, and others. The cricket segment is anticipated to grow at a moderate rate during the forecast period.

The region that dominated the global sports sponsorship market in 2022 was Europe, and its dominance is anticipated to continue throughout the forecast period. Sponsors are using data analytics to better understand fan behavior, preferences, and demographics, enabling targeted marketing campaigns and customized experiences. Sponsors are using fan data to create their activations and deliver personalized content, offers, and experiences to increase engagement. These sports sponsorship market trends are fueling sports sponsorship market demand.
Sports sponsorship is still significantly impacted by the internet environment. Digital platforms, social media, and streaming services are being used more frequently by brands to interact with their audience. Utilizing live streaming, social media activations, virtual events, and tailored content to connect with audiences is part of this trend. Authenticity and alignment between sponsors and sports properties are becoming increasingly important. Brands are looking for partnerships that share their values and appeal to their target market. Sponsors are concentrating on genuine partnerships that go beyond logo placement, striving to develop shared narratives and mission-driven campaigns that engage fans on a deeper level. This is driving the sports sponsorship market growth.
The cost of sports sponsorship is high. Sponsors must carefully allot their marketing funds and make sure the return on investment justifies the costs. Sports organizations also have trouble luring sponsors if they seek large sponsorship prices that are out of proportion to their worth or market reach. Numerous brands compete for exposure and affiliation with sporting properties in the fiercely competitive sports sponsorship market. This makes it difficult for advertisers to stand out and obtain exclusive or prominent sponsorship opportunities. If a sports organization operates in a highly competitive industry or has distinctive selling qualities, finding sponsors is a challenge.
The major players analyzed for the global sports sponsorship industry are Nike Inc., Adidas AG, PepsiCo Inc., Red Bull GmbH, Puma SE, Macron S.p.A., Castrol India Limited, Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV, Electronic Arts Inc., and ASICS Corporation.

Into the groove: Henriksen House is the UK’s first home extension featuring exposed clay block walls
Architect Michael Henriksen uses textured clay blocks, cork flooring and self-built joinery to transform his family home in St Albans near London
As an architect, Michael Henriksen was well aware that even the best laid plans can go awry sometimes. But nothing could really have prepared him for the Covid-19 lockdown, just when he was getting started on figuring out how to revitalise his own family home in St Albans, Hertfordshire – a tired, pebble-dashed 1920s house that needed extensive remodelling.
Take our tour of the revived Henriksen House
The silver lining was that the pandemic’s supply chain issues and social distancing regulations spurred Henriksen, a director at Coffey Architects (a practice whose projects include a modern barn house in Dorset and a timber-lined Clerkenwell apartment), into an innovative direction. He decided to simplify the construction by building with exposed Porotherm clay blocks supplied by EH Smith, which form the entire wall structure except for the thin layer of render externally.
Filled with natural light thanks to an 8m skylight and glazed sliding doors that frame the small garden, the resulting family home is a warm and spacious scheme.
The idea to use exposed clay blocks was initially met with scepticism from the manufacturer, but, explains Henrikson, ‘the blocks’ soft colour and rich texture captivated us when on display, sparking interest in their natural, exposed form. Their pastel hues and textures, combined with wooden surfaces, plants and ample daylight, create a vibrant and welcoming environment and have won admiration from our friends and family.’
The clay blocks also offer excellent insulation, fire resistance, humidity reduction and thermal mass, keeping the home warm in winter and cool in summer. Their textured surface creates feature walls in the large open-plan living, dining and kitchen space, where they are combined with a birch plywood and glulam beam canopy and natural cork flooring.
Particularly appealing is the meticulous detailing: a shadow gap along the full length of the perimeter conceals LED lights; tall kitchen cupboards seamlessly wrap into the wall, and turn into the stair handrail; and plywood louvres conceal a hidden pivot door.
Cork and timber were used throughout, including in the new two-storey side extension housing two extra bedrooms. And it was a real labour of love, with most of the joinery handcrafted by Henriksen himself. ‘Although [this was] intended as a collaborative project with my father, the Covid lockdown led me to complete the work solo, discovering a deep appreciation for woodworking,’ he says.

Henriksen learned simple joinery techniques to give budget kitchen cabinets from Ikea a bespoke upgrade with custom plywood doors and integrated, routed recessed handles. Tactile and warm, the result is stunning and perfectly complemented by the polished concrete worktop he and his wife Hannah also constructed themselves as a special project for their ten-year anniversary.

Taskmaster's Alex Horne explains "mistakes" with spin-off – and why he and Greg Davies would "jump" to do it again
The comedy star reflected on a past misstep as Junior Taskmaster prepares to launch.
Taskmaster creator Alex Horne has opened up what went wrong with the show's short-lived US version – and expressed interest in another attempt at cracking the States.
The popular Dave-turned-Channel 4 entertainment format casts Horne as the underling of Greg Davies's eponymous Taskmaster, who sets a group of comedians wacky tasks to complete however they see fit.
The show has grown into an international franchise, with Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Spain, Sweden, Norway and Portugal among those with ongoing local iterations on television.
Alas, a US edition starring Horne and musician Reggie Watts received the axe after just one season, with the former saying in the latest issue of Radio Times that "a few mistakes" were made during the adaptation process.
By entering your details, you are agreeing to our terms and conditions and privacy policy. You can unsubscribe at any time.
"We sort of did everything the channel told us to do," explained Horne, "so we halved the length of the show. It was 22 minutes in total. And all the tasks were tasks we’d already done, because we thought we’d play it safe.
More like this
"We made a few compromises, which we regret. Greg and I would jump at the chance at doing it in America again, but on our own terms."
Even in its short run, the US edition did attract some recognisable faces, with Bates Motel and The Good Doctor star Freddie Highmore participating alongside Kate Berlant (Search Party), Ron Funches (Trolls), comedian Lisa Lampanelli and DJ Dillon Francis.
Horne was reflecting on the show's history of Taskmaster spin-offs as a major new addition to the franchise prepares to debut on Channel 4: Junior Taskmaster.
As the title suggests, the new show lets kids have a go at the silly challenges that have often perplexed their elders, building on the foundation laid by the Taskmaster Education programme, which applies elements of the show to curriculum-based learning.
Horne takes a backseat for Junior Taskmaster – handing the reins to Rose Matafeo and Mike Wozniak – and remains coy over whether the franchise could expand any further.
"We did a pilot for Foodmaster," he revealed. "We’ve talked about Dogmaster and Carmaster and so on. But I think we’re pretty happy with where we are. There's obviously a danger of diluting the product. I think, currently, junior and senior are our lot."
You can find more from Alex Horne and other TV stars in this week's issue of Radio Times.
Junior Taskmaster is coming soon to Channel 4. Check out more of our Entertainment coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.

The UAE left Milliy Stadium on Tuesday evening wondering what could have been after a 1-0 defeat to Uzbekistan in their latest FIFA World Cup qualifier, despite delivering a much-improved performance compared to their last outing against North Korea.
UAE manager Paulo Bento had been left unimpressed following the 1-1 draw with North Korea in Al Ain on Thursday night and was hoping for an immediate response against Group A leaders Uzbekistan.
He certainly got it from the start in Tashkent, with Yahya Al Ghassani, who earned a place in the starting lineup after scoring from the bench on Thursday, playing a lively role in a pulsating opening 15 minutes.
Just three minutes after Abbosbek Fayzullaev’s header narrowly missed the target in the seventh minute, Al Ghassani nearly broke the deadlock for the UAE with a brilliant volley.
He was denied by Utkir Yusupov, and though Caio Canedo latched onto the rebound, he didn’t connect well enough with the ball to trouble the Uzbek goal.
Two minutes later, the UAE No.10 was a danger once again, as he pounced on a defensive error to give himself another chance to open the scoring but saw his near-post effort go wide of the mark.
With just 15 minutes played, the UAE had already shown far more attacking intent than they had in Al Ain last week.
Both teams continued to press forward throughout the remainder of the half, making it all the more surprising when the referee blew for halftime with the score still locked at 0-0.
While neutrals at home likely enjoyed the back-and-forth nature of the first half, Bento would have surely instructed his players to tighten things up at the start of the second.
He didn’t get his wish, as the opening 15 minutes after the restart were arguably even more electric than the first.
Just a minute into the second half, Tahnoon Al Zaabi tested Yusupov with a long-range effort, and two minutes later, Harib Suhail squandered a golden chance, firing over the bar when clean through on goal with Yusupov off his line.
Uzbekistan responded with a flurry of chances of their own, before the game took a decisive turn in the 65th minute when Abdulla Hamad was sent off for a reckless lunge on Sherzod Nasrullaev.
The UAE protested, but Hamad’s challenge was late, high, and dangerous - leaving little room for argument.
The Whites did have a legitimate grievance eight minutes later when Khalifa Al Hammadi was penalised for handling the ball inside the box, blocking Bobur Abdikholikov’s goal-bound effort.
Replays showed the ball struck his hands, but they weren’t in an unnatural position and his body would have blocked the shot anyway. Despite the protests, referee Ning Ma stood by his decision, and Otabek Shukruov calmly slotted the penalty into the bottom corner, off the post.
Bento’s men pushed for a late equaliser, but with their numerical advantage, it was Uzbekistan who created the better chances to put the game to bed.
In the end, it finished 1-0, leaving the UAE on four points after four games, six points adrift of their opponents at the top of the table.
The UAE will continue their quest to qualify for just a second World Cup finals next month when they host Kyrgyzstan and Qatar.

BERGER, Mo. — The Missouri Department of Natural Resources said there are no indications any of the hazardous material in an eastern Missouri floodplain is being released to the environment.
A federal indictment alleges 9 million pounds of waste was dug up from Mississippi and illegally transported to a warehouse in rural Franklin County, near the Missouri River. The indictment names U.S. Technology Corp. of Ohio and Missouri Green Materials.
The DNR said Friday the material is stored inside containers, and the warehouse floor is elevated 4 feet. The DNR said staff members recently visited the site for re-assessment and saw no indication of release of the hazardous material.
The indictment states the stored material includes heavy metal-containing waste created when paint is removed from equipment on military bases.

Staque announces strategic partnership with D-Wave
Staque, a firm in AI, blockchain, and quantum computing, unveiled its partnership with D-Wave Quantum Inc, the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers, and launched Que AI autopilots to be powered by quantum computing. This strategic alliance aims to accelerate the adoption of annealing quantum computing solutions across the Middle East, fostering innovation in key industries such as health, logistics, financial services, and technology.
The partnership was announced at Qubits UAE, an exclusive, invitation-only event that gathered top experts in quantum computing and technology leaders. Held under the D-Wave Qubits flagship, the event brought together industry trailblazers to discuss the growing potential of quantum technology in solving complex real-world problems.
“By collaborating with D-Wave, we’re bringing cutting-edge computational processing power to help our clients harness advanced technology for growth,” said Dr. Muhammad Khan, Founder and CEO of Staque. Dr. Khan emphasized how this partnership aligns with Staque’s mission of pushing the boundaries of innovation while creating impactful solutions that drive customer success.
“We believe organizations must embrace advanced technologies such as quantum computing and AI in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment,” said Lorenzo Martinelli, chief revenue officer at D-Wave. “Staque recognizes the transformative impact that annealing quantum computing could have on its customers, and our shared commitment to redefining what’s possible with technology makes this partnership very exciting.”
Staque and D-Wave’s partnership comes at a critical time when Middle Eastern nations are looking to diversify their economies. As Dr. Khan highlighted, “The Middle East’s vision of becoming a leader in tech innovation makes our partnership with D-Wave a key milestone. Together, we will help enterprises leverage quantum computing to tackle pressing challenges in optimization, AI, and more.”
Quantum computing presents unmatched capabilities for tackling high-complexity problems, such as supply chain management, utility grid optimization, and portfolio optimization—key areas of focus for both Staque and D-Wave. Utilizing D-Wave’s Leap quantum cloud service, this collaboration aims to develop and deploy hybrid quantum applications, providing regional businesses with access to next-generation computing solutions. One such solution is Que – a network of AI autopilots specializing in various tasks like engineering, customer experience and medical diagnosis. Staque plans on leveraging annealing quantum computing to enhance the machine learning model underlying Que. The first set of Ques (beta) were deployed today for health care and customer service use cases. Ques differ from other AI agents in the sense that they can be continuously trained, hired, leased and monetized through Que Studio and Que Network.
The collaboration is also in line with broader regional goals. Countries like the UAE are keen on expanding their tech and innovation sectors as part of a long-term strategy to reduce dependency on oil-based revenues. According to the International Monetary Fund, economic diversification efforts are central to driving the Middle East’s growth agenda, and partnerships like this one play a crucial role in achieving those objectives.

It will be a criminal offence to destroy or allow harm come to the records of up to 250,000 survivors of historical institutional abuse under legislation being fast-tracked this week by Minister for Children Roderic O’Gorman.
The legislation, which will be brought forward as amendments to the Maternity Protection Bill currently in its final stages in the Oireachtas, was “urgent” said the Minister, adding he hoped it would be signed into law by “early next month”.
It will oblige any private organisation or individual holding “relevant records” to preserve and maintain them while criminalising the destruction, mutilation, falsification, alteration or export of such records. It will apply not only to individual survivors’ records but also those relating to how institutions like Magdalene laundries, mother and baby homes, county homes, industrial schools and orphanages, operated.
In addition, organisations will be obliged to comply with requests from the National Archives for inventories of their records.
Mary Lou McDonald accused of misleading Oireachtas last year over reasons for Niall Ó Donnghaile’s resignation
Dublin steakhouse Shanahan’s on the Green closed until further notice due to financial challenges
‘We moved in with each other after seven days. We got engaged after eight months’
Lessons from an Airbnb host: ‘Two sisters insisted we call the Bord Gáis emergency services because the radiator was too hot’
It will not compel organisations to hand over records but was nonetheless welcomed on Tuesday as a “very significant first step” in ensuring survivors’ access to records. A senior official at the Department of Children said on Tuesday access required “preservation as a first step”.
Dr Mark Coen, lecturer in law at University College Dublin, said the legislation represented a “significant change in attitude to these records ... The State is signalling these are not private records. [These] records would have been in the past regarded as totally private.”
He was speaking “as someone [who] found significant financial records on the Donnybrook laundry on the Donnybrook laundry site in 2018 in a building prone to vandalism and full of pigeons. We are aware of other examples where on an ongoing basis people are finding records.”
The rush to complete passage of the legislation was nothing to do with an impending general election, said the Minister, but due to reports of records being found stored “rotting and moulding” in derelict buildings, on display as curiosities in pubs and in other cases “wilfully destroyed”.
“I know how absolutely vital information is to people who may not have had a full picture of their past or their own identity and that for far too long that information was kept hidden,” he said. “The story of Ireland’s dark past must not be forgotten and it’s incumbent on all of us to ensure future generations can understand the horror of Ireland’s history of institutional abuse.”
Representative groups for survivors urged “all politicians” to support the “long overdue” records preservation legislation.
The special advocate for survivors, Patricia Carey, said since she took up her position six months ago, access to records was the second most frequently raised issue by survivors. “I think [the legislation] is overdue. It’s a first step but it’s very, very positive.
“I would highlight records are not only held by religious but also those held by private [offices including solicitors and GPs]. It will open a vast array of private, personal histories and the history of the State ... will give a vehicle for institutions to once and for all to hand over records [to the National Archives],” she said.
The legislation would mirror similar legislation passed in Northern Ireland in 2022 ensuring “consistency” for survivors of institutional abuse on both sides of the Border, said Dr Maeve O’Rourke, lecturer in human rights at the Irish Centre for Human Rights and the School of Law in NUI Galway.

Jets acquire WR Davante Adams from Raiders: AP sources
NEW YORK - Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams are finally reunited after a year of speculation — and now they'll try to save the New York Jets ' sinking season.
The Jets agreed to terms Tuesday to acquire the disgruntled Adams from the Las Vegas Raiders, two people with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press.
New York is sending a conditional third-round pick in next year's draft that could become a second-rounder, but it is pending a physical for the wide receiver, one of the people told the AP on condition of anonymity because the teams didn't announce the deal.
NFL Network was the first to report the trade.
The 31-year-old Adams immediately boosts a Jets offense that has been inconsistent through the first part of the season. The three-time All-Pro joins Garrett Wilson to give Rodgers two No. 1-caliber wide receivers to throw to, complementing fellow receivers Mike Williams, Allen Lazard and Xavier Gipson, tight end Tyler Conklin and running backs Breece Hall and Braelon Allen.
Adams, who missed the Raiders’ last three games with a hamstring injury, reportedly told the team he wanted out of Las Vegas — and the team was willing to accommodate his request.
And now he’s back with Rodgers, the quarterback with whom he enjoyed eight seasons of success catching passes from in Green Bay.
It seemed inevitable, especially when the Jets reportedly showed interest in Adams last year at the NFL trade deadline. Rodgers said at a celebrity golf tournament over the summer: "I love Davante. I can’t wait to play with him ... again." With a smile, Rodgers said during training camp he meant on the golf course, but it was enough to fuel speculation that at some point — somehow — the Jets would move to bring in Adams.
The deal came less than 12 hours after the Jets lost 23-20 to the Buffalo Bills, a game in which Rodgers threw a Hail Mary just before halftime but also was intercepted on New York's final drive for the second straight week. It was a game marked by penalties, mistakes and missed opportunities on offense, and dropped the Jets to 2-4 amid in a three-game skid.
"It’s frustrating," Rodgers said. "I’m here to win those games, but we’ve got to be on our details. It’s little things every single time."
The trade also caps what has been a tumultuous last seven days for the Jets. Two days after losing to Minnesota in London, owner Woody Johnson fired head coach Robert Saleh on Tuesday and defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich was tapped to replace him as the interim. Ulbrich then demoted offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett and replaced him with pass game coordinator Todd Downing on Wednesday.
And now the Jets have made a major deal to bring in Adams, one of Rodgers' best friends and favorite teammates. Adams has caught 615 passes from Rodgers for 7,517 yards and 68 touchdowns, all in Green Bay. That’s the most in all three categories between any combination of active players.
Adams’ departure from Las Vegas was expected after reports surfaced that he no longer wanted to be there — and the Jets immediately became a likely landing spot because of his relationship with Rodgers.
In his weekly appearance on the "Up & Adams Show" two weeks ago, Adams said he hadn’t heard from Antonio Pierce since the Raiders coach appeared to like a social media post about possibly trading Adams.
That was the first sure sign that a split could be coming, though an Adams trade has long been speculated given several statements he has made for more than a year. That included clear frustration he showed on the Netflix documentary series "Receiver" in which Adams’ season was among those featured.
Adams remains one of the NFL’s top receivers, even at nearly 32, because of his precise route running and ability to catch passes, even while double teamed. He caught 103 passes last season for 1,144 yards and eight touchdowns. It was his fifth 1,000-yard season in six years, broken up only by the 997 yards Adams had in 2019.
He has caught 18 passes for 209 yards and a touchdown in three games this season.
The Raiders gave up a major haul in 2022 to get Adams when they sent the Packers first- and second-round picks in that year’s draft and made Adams the highest-paid receiver at the time with a five-year, $140 million contract, with nearly $66 million guaranteed.
His final two years in 2025 and 2026 are not guaranteed. Adams’ salary-cap hit rises from $25.35 million this season to $44.1 million each of the next two years, according to Spotrac. ESPN reported the Jets will assume the balance of Adams’ remaining salary.

Architectural Association's newest show uncovers the architectural legacies of rural China's lost generation
The Architectural Association’s ‘Ripple Ripple Rippling’ is not your typical architecture show, taking an anthropological look at the flux between rural and urban, and bringing a part of China to Bedford Square in London
Fuelling China’s exponential urbanisation, as many as 295 million rural migrants of ‘working age’, known as the ‘floating population’, move between cities to find employment. As this mass movement leaves rural areas without a middle generation, a new multimedia and multisensory exhibition, 'Ripple Ripple Rippling', at the Architectural Association (AA) in London, brings into view the lives of those who are left behind amid the rise of China’s sprawling metropolises.
Spanning over ten years of research, architects, anthropologists, and choreographers Cyan Cheng, Chen Zhan, and Mengfan Wang embedded themselves in the rural village of Shigushan Eastern China – uncovering changes through acts of adaptation and appropriation of the built environment during the gradual disappearance of rural life as it once was.
Explore the Architectural Association's show 'Ripple Ripple Rippling'
As the population left behind recalibrates, Cyan says: 'Family structures are formed outside of what is prescribed, with alterations to the built environment to match this lifestyle of communality.' On the broader anthropological research within the exhibition, she continues: 'Architecture is not enough to capture everything that's going on. So our practice expands into other disciplines.'
The exhibition features field notes, drawings and photography from Shigushan, as well as a film trilogy. This includes the trio's latest piece of moving image, ‘Till Ashes Turn Into Pines’, which explores how reincarnation manifests in the treatment of the natural environment.
Spilling out of the confines of the AA's gallery setting, a partial reconstruction of a typical state-funded rural house sits among the quintessentially Georgian houses of Bedford Square, making for a slightly surreal contrast. Drystone walling demarcates domestic spaces such as a garden, porch, and living room amid the public forum of the square. This installation's ‘unfinished’ status references the often incomplete or semi-ruined buildings that lay in waiting for funds from family members working in the cities.
What comes to the fore is a diminished sense of ownership in this world of residential structures, contrasting with the sometimes aggressive boundaries between public and private that we might find in ostensibly capitalist cities. Areas such as the living room become semi-public, while liminal spaces such as the yard are actively inhabited through domestic activity. Thresholds are not just crossed – they’re contently occupied.
Chen notes: 'We find there is this rippling image; all the domestic activities, they just ripple out and then they linger around the gates and then they leak to the streets.' The act of ‘Rippling’ references this improvised and reactive support system where the use of space becomes entangled in collective care. She adds: 'The protocols we understand around family and home [are defied] in a mundane sort of way.'

Moving away from 'traditional notions of architecture’, the show foregrounds an evolved sense of architecture that supports assemblage as opposed to reinforcing fracture. It brings attention to networks of care that are also relevant to cities in rethinking boundaries, thresholds, and symbols of ownership. In doing so, it takes a humanised view not of what is visually showstopping in architectural terms, but of what is quietly brilliant in its subversion of the status quo.
‘Ripple Ripple Rippling’, by Jingru Cyan Cheng, Chen Zhan and Mengfan Wang at the Architectural Association, London, includes an outdoor installation, until 6 November 2024, and a gallery exhibition, until 7 December 2024. More information at aaschool.ac.uk

Peter Capaldi on playing a "sympathetic serial killer" and Doctor Who parallels
"I seem to have some facility for impersonating these characters who have this weird relationship with time."
"I think he's actually quite sympathetic, apart from the fact that he's a serial killer," Peter Capaldi muses.
The Scottish actor, who made his name with roles ranging from Malcolm Tucker in The Thick of It to the Twelfth Doctor in Doctor Who, is pondering his latest character, Gideon Shepherd, in The Devil's Hour season 2.
Season 1 saw Gideon, a man who is reborn every time he dies and who has devoted his life to prevent terrible tragedies from happening, locked in a cell.
But at the end of the season, he escapes and, this time around, he's unleashed onto the world as he and Jessica Raine's Lucy Chambers form an uneasy alliance to attempt to stop a devastating incident.
"I think I do empathise with him," Capaldi tells RadioTimes.com in an exclusive interview. "What's driving him is a desire to keep people, ironically, safe - and he's trapped.
More like this
"He has knowledge that traps him to a position where he either does nothing or he acts upon this knowledge. The path that he's chosen is a dangerous one."
If season 1 was a supernatural mystery, season 2 is an all-out thriller, with Gideon and Lucy racing against the clock and grappling with their newfound alliance.
"There's more action," Capaldi points out. "It's probably more of a thriller than the last one was. It still has its cosmic and psychological horror vibe about it, but I think it moves much more quickly, and there's a ticking bomb in it that has to be dealt with. It moves more speedily."
Raine adds: "It's a really uneasy relationship [between Gideon and Lucy]. He's basically come into her life and completely uprooted everything, and he talks in riddles, and he's a difficult character to bond with, because he's holding the knowledge of all these lives, so they're kind of forced together to work together for the greater good."
Crucially, Gideon has escaped from his cell and, for Capaldi, that meant one thing that he's had to get pretty used to over the years – an outrageous amount of running.
"It's a much more physical sort of thing, really, because he never quite still," Capaldi explains. "He's always planning and trying to deal with stuff.
"And so, whereas last [season], he held all the secrets, he had a lot of big speeches where he explained what was going on, this time, he's much more active. But he still holds the key to the unique kind of view of the world that the program has."
One of the key differences is that audiences have somewhat more of a sense of who Gideon is now – but that doesn't mean the mystery is gone. In fact, after asking writer Tom Moran if he could be more humanised last season, this time, Capaldi was gunning for more of a "cosmic" feel to the character.
"I went the other way this time, probably because there was more grounded stuff. Last time, it was just me in a cell, and so I requested that we give him more humanity in that what he does has a cost, because I think originally, it was slightly more veiled – I wanted to make him more vulnerable.
"But this time, because he's out and about in the world, we see him doing things and we see the cost to him, so this time I said, 'Let's make sure he's still a bit cosmic.'
"Poor Tom! I'm always asking him for more. I don't want grounded, I want cosmic this time!"
Of course, "cosmic" is something Capaldi is very, very good at to say the least. While he's been open about how he won't return to Doctor Who, there are moments in The Devil's Hour that may get a knowing smile from Whovians, with Gideon describing himself in season 1 as having "a complicated relationship with time".
Capaldi looks back fondly on Doctor Who, saying: "It was just an incredible experience. Suddenly, you're in the middle of this fantastical world, surrounded by people who love Doctor Who.
"I was watching Tom Baker talking about something, and he said that when he was Doctor Who, he would do tons and tons of publicity and stuff, because being Doctor Who was much more fun than being Tom Baker, and I would say the same, probably, being Doctor Who is much more fun than being me.
"Certainly, you're in a very privileged position, because you receive the affection for that character. It is a character, it's not me, and it's a delightful place to be. It would be a hard part to sustain, I think, forever, but you do see the best of people, which is lovely."
While he's not actively seeking out more time-bending roles, he admits: "Obviously, I seem to have some facility for impersonating these characters who have this weird relationship with time. It's just being the kind of actor – you bring yourself to everything, really."
He adds: "There are little overlaps [with Doctor Who], which is fine, but [as an actor], you learn a certain skill about how you look angry or look sad or whatever. But actually, actors really are an accumulation of their life and their life's experiences and also their roles.
"So that role [the Doctor] comes with me, as does Malcolm Tucker or other roles that I've played, and they're with me because they all have this face, so they do me a favour, because they come and suggest to the audience that there's more to me than there actually is."
It's not just Capaldi that creates the "cosmic" feel on the show, though, with the actor and his co-star Raine heaping praise on director Johnny Allan – not least for the creepy Easter eggs peppered in throughout the season.
"There's an incredible moment, I think it's in episode 1, with Lucy in Dr Bennett's office, and it's chilling," Raine explains. "It's my shot, I'm foreground, but in the background, there's a small eight-year-old child that's just peeping out from behind the curtain.
"And it's literally just a second and then the shot goes somewhere else. It made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up."

Capaldi adds that moments like these are "a testament to the to the skill and talent of our directors".
He points out: "This show really is has blossomed because of the direction, because to create that sense of unease and these chills and these sudden frights and stuff like that, that's a really skilful and complex task.
"[Allan] will talk about how, if you hang on to one shot a little longer than the audience expects, it kind of disrupts their rhythm, because they're used to things being cut at a certain speed.
"But if you alter that speed and just have a shot of someone sitting on a sofa, perhaps for three seconds longer than they should, you think, 'Something odd's going to happen.'"
While season 2 is just being released, filming on season 3 is well underway, beginning in March 2024.
"This is a three season thing," Capaldi confirms. "So it will complete, it will reach an end. It's not like we'll do a third season and then a fourth. It will end, the story will be drawn to conclusion."
While we currently have no idea of what to expect for how the show will bow out, Capaldi's got one big hope for Gideon: "It'd be nice to get some peace. He may end up in a peaceful situation.
"He's troubled by the world as a conscious conscience, ironically, because he is always killing people, but he would like the world to be better – but actually, he can't control it, even though he tries to."
The Devil's Hour season 2 will stream on Prime Video from 18th October 2024 – you can sign up now for a free 30-day Prime Video trial.

US 'concerned' by reports of North Korean soldiers fighting for Russia
WASHINGTON, Oct 15 (Reuters) - The United States is "concerned" by reports of North Korean soldiers fighting for Russia in Ukraine, a White House spokesperson on Tuesday.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy this week accused North Korea of transferring personnel to Russia's armed forces, saying his intelligence agencies had briefed him on "the actual involvement of North Korea in the war" in Ukraine.
The Kremlin has dismissed the allegation as "fake news."
In a statement, White House National Security Council spokesperson Sean Savett said the involvement of North Korean troops in Ukraine, if true, would mark a significant increase in the North Korea-Russia defense relationship.
"Such a move would also indicate a new level of desperation for Russia as it continues to suffer significant casualties on the battlefield in its brutal war against Ukraine," Savett said.
Washington says North Korea has supplied Russia with ballistic missiles and ammunition. Moscow and Pyongyang have denied arms transfers but have vowed to boost military ties, possibly including joint drills.

DETROIT -- 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.

Researchers in Indian higher educational institutions allege facing inordinate delays in receiving grants from the Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB) this year.
A statutory body introduced through the SERB Act of 2008 under the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, SERB aims to promote research in science and engineering and provide funding to scientists, academic institutions and R&D Departments through grants.
However, in 2024, SERB was dissolved and replaced by the Anusandhan National Research Foundation, established through the Anusandhan National Research Foundation Act of 2023.
While the ANRF has been announcing new initiatives and grants for scientific research, SERB recipients have been left wondering when they will receive the second instalment of their grants this year.
Speaking to EdexLive on the condition of anonymity, a researcher and teaching faculty member from an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) says that while funding and grants were never regularly disbursed in the past, this year’s delays were much worse.
“When we approached the DST for an answer, we were told that the delay was because this was an election year,” the researcher says.
While it has been four months since the elections ended, SERB recipients have yet to receive their grants.
“Under my grant, I was supposed to receive Rs 6 lakh every year for five years. However, I only received one instalment so far,” the researcher says
According to the researcher, SERB issues grants of a certain amount to its applicants for a fixed period, which is released in timely instalments throughout the research project. The grant money must be spent within the period for which it was issued, and each head for spending must be accounted for.
“If the funding is delayed, it would be difficult to spend them, as they are classified under different heads for different projects,” the researcher reveals.
He adds, “I have only three months until my current project is completed. If the funds meant for this project are disbursed after the project is concluded, they would be purposeless.”
Impact on research
Such delays can set back research projects, which would impact research and development as a whole, says the researcher.
“Often, researchers need funds to procure material, equipment and other materials for experimentation. Delays in funding could prevent them from conducting scientific experiments on time, which could delay their research,” he explains.
The most alarming consequence of such delays, he says, is how it would impact Project Assistants in various research projects.
“Various grants by SERB also allow researchers to hire Project Assistants, who are usually PhD or Masters’ students. Their stipends come from these grants. However, many Project Assistants are left with no compensation for their efforts if the funds get delayed,” he says, adding that he has seen many Project Assistants leave research projects due to lack of funds.
For many researchers, stipends and grants are not only sources of funding for their research but also a source of income. “Such delays make research a difficult proposition in India,” the researcher laments.
Symptomatic of a larger issue?
In case of delays in funds, the educational institutions where researchers are employed usually provide financial assistance, the researcher says. However, this has become increasingly less possible, as educational institutions themselves are short of funds now.
“Ever since the mode of funding for government-run HEIs was changed from grants to loans, several educational institutions found paying back loans to the government to be a strain on their finances. As a result, they are not in a position to assist researchers financially,” the researcher says.
He claims that the delays in grant funds could also be because the Ministry of Finance has not allocated funds for these grant programmes.
“Maybe research is not a priority for the Finance Ministry… Or maybe there haven’t been enough funds allocated for education to be able to fund research,” the researcher wonders.
The researcher plans to get in touch with teachers, researchers, and faculty from other institutions and gauge the depth of the problem.
These delays come at a time when various research scholars in public educational institutions have been alleging irregularities in the disbursal of their scholarship and fellowship stipends.

Football: Tuchel to become England head coach – reports
October 15, 2024Former Bayern Munich head coach Thomas Tuchel is set to become the new manager of the England men's national team, according to reports in both England and Germany.
The 51-year-old will become the third non-Englishman to take the job after Sweden's Sven-Goran Eriksson and Italian Fabio Capello – and the first ever German.
The English Football Association (FA) have been on the hunt for a new permanent head coach ever since Gareth Southgate stepped down after defeat to Spain in the final of Euro 2024 in Berlin.
England under-21 coach Lee Carsley has been in temporary charge of Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham and co since then, but The Times reported on Tuesday evening that the FA has successfully concluded negotiations with Tuchel to take on the job full-time.
German tabloid newspaper BILD corroborated the reports.
For Tuchel, who left Bayern Munich in the summer, it's a second job in English football after leading London-based club Chelsea to Champions League glory in 2021.
He'd previously led French side Paris Saint-Germain to the Champions League final in 2020 after making his name as a top tactician with Bundesliga sides Mainz 05 and Borussia Dortmund.
He had been loosely linked to struggling Premier League giants Manchester United in recent weeks.
Instead, the England role will be his first ever in international football.
More to follow ...

One of the aspects of Dragon Ball battles that makes them so hype is watching characters break through their limits and obtain a whole new form of power. Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero does an excellent job at emulating this feeling by allowing the player to either transform mid-match or select which transform they wish to start a battle as.
Review: DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO
A successor to Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi spectacularly enters the ring.
Of course, this feeds into a long debate for Dragon Ball fans: which transformation is the strongest? The answer to this will generally be the one you think looks the coolest, but in terms of power scaling, it is quite simple to put together a list of the strongest transformations in Dragon Ball by looking at their strength and when they debuted in the series.
10 Super Saiyan
The One and Only Original
Starting off the list is the most iconic transformation in anime history: Super Saiyan. Everyone who is even vaguely familiar with Dragon Ball as a concept knows the weight Super Saiyan carried when it was introduced. This weight is kept in Sparking Zero, transforming into a Super Saiyan mid-battle feels incredible and the damage boost that comes with it is nothing to scoff at.
Thirteen characters in Sparking Zero's roster can go Super Saiyan, nearly the entire Saiyan side of the roster, in addition to alternate versions of Goku. Despite its iconic status and how many characters are able to use this ability, Super Saiyan must fall to the bottom of this list for one simple reason: it has been outclassed. There are many transformations that outpower Super Saiyan in terms of both raw strength and cool factor, so it must fall low here.
9 Great Ape
Bane of Newbies' Existences
Next up on the list is the first major boss that a majority of the Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero player base has gotten stuck on: Great Apes! While technically weaker than Super Saiyans, there is one factor that puts them above SSJ on this list: the coolness of being able to play as a giant gorilla and wreak havoc.
Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO: How to Unlock Alternate Paths
Optional paths are easy to spot, but can be a challenge to start.
Great Apes absolutely tower over other characters, being closer to Kaiju than actual people. Smacking away at other characters like flies is satisfying no matter how many times it happens. There are only two characters in the game with a Great Ape form: Vegeta and Baby. No other Saiyan character in the game has their Great Ape form playable. Because of that disappointing fact and the weaknesses of this form when compared to others in this list, Great Apes must rank quite low.
8 Golden Frieza
Gauche but Great
After Dragon Ball left its decade of dormancy, one of the first steps the franchise took was reviving one of its most popular villains: Lord Frieza. While the movie he was revived in, Resurrection F, isn't considered the best by Dragon Ball fans, it did introduce the world to this conqueror’s first new form: Golden Frieza!
This devilish form turns Frieza into a pure golden state like Super Saiyan with a power surge to boot. With several unique specials to this form that all do massive damage, this form is not to be trifled with. Unfortunately, it must rank one on this list for one simple reason: it isn't even Frieza's current strongest form. Unfortunately, his actual strongest form will likely never be added to Sparking Zero as it is manga exclusive. Cementing Frieza's low on this list entirely.
7 Final Form Cooler
The Coolest Around
Lord Frieza may be cool, but do you know who's cooler? His brother: Cooler. This non-canon movie character comes with his own unique transformation: Final Form Cooler. This form sees Cooler become extremely muscular as well as gain a cool mask reminiscent of the Shredder.
Dragon Ball Theme Park Concept Unveiled, Construction To Begin Soon
Every Dragon Ball fan's dream is coming true.
While this form in-universe doesn't make much sense, Frieza's prior transformations were about limiting his power as opposed to gaining strength. However, Cooler's Final Form is so cool that it doesn't matter. Being able to play as and destroy enemies in this form is an absolute joy, so throw around that planet-destroying sphere as much as you wish with this form. It does, of course, need to rank low on this list due to not being too strong compared to later entries.
Cooler has always been one of my favorite movie villains. Hopefully they canonize him one day.
6 Super Saiyan 3
Destroyer of Movie Villains
Next up on the list is a form that was canonically Goku's strongest for nearly two decades: Super Saiyan 3! The coolness of this form came almost entirely from its first appearance and the several minutes of screaming it took for Goku to achieve it. It would then go on to be a movie villain destroyer, defeating them with a single punch.
That raw power and cool factor prevails in Sparking Zero. Playing as Super Saiyan 3 Goku and blasting away enemies with his massive damage makes you really feel like you're playing through a Dragon Ball OVA. Despite that though, the form must fall low on this list due to being outclassed by other forms and because the lack of eyebrows on Goku is too uncanny to stare at for long.
5 Super Saiyan 4
Red with Rage
Next up is the second non-canon form in this list: Super Saiyan 4. In the early and mid-2000s, this form ruled the internet and fan art. From there, it quickly became the one aspect of GT that would be referenced in most Dragon Ball side media to this day. The power this form holds is beyond imagination, transforming Saiyans into more animalistic forms with red fur.
Only GT Goku and Vegeta can transform into this form in Sparking Zero, but that hardly matters when it comes to SSJ4. Being able to use this power and crush foes between your hands is more than fun enough to justify playing as GT characters. While it is immensely strong, Super Saiyan 4 only falls to the middle of this list. How can a form that loses to Base Cabba rank any higher than that?
4 Super Saiyan God
Pure Enlightenment
After a decade without any Dragon Ball anime, the franchise returned with a new film known as Battle of Gods, which introduced new aspects of the universe such as the God of Destruction and, of course, a new form for Goku to transform into. The Super Saiyan God transformation is one of the most unique-looking in Dragon Ball, as rather than becoming more muscular, it slims Goku down quite a bit.
Super Saiyan God Goku is a fun transformation to play as in Sparking Zero, costing 7BP. It is put on the same tier as Super Saiyan 3, but it has slightly stronger power than the previous form. With cool specials like the God Impact and the God Burst Kamehameha, playing as this form is a sight to behold and more than earns a placement on this list.
3 Ultra Instinct
Faster Than Light
The Tournament of Power saga puts Goku through a gauntlet of fight after fight in what was, in-universe, less than an hour of time. Here he surpassed his limits repeatedly until he finally achieved his newest and currently strongest form: Ultra Instinct. In this state, Goku’s hair turns pure white and he gains the reaction speed of a god. This is reflected in Sparking Zero's gameplay via some of the coolest attacks in the game and a huge BP cost of 9.
Hunter x Hunter Nen x Impact Gameplay Trailers Present Slick Fighting Game Action
Gon and Killua look raring to go.
Ultra Instinct Goku is also one of the strongest characters in the game entirely, as in this state the player can gain an auto-dodge mechanic which allows them to not take damage from attacks at the cost of some of their ki. This mechanic alone earns Ultra Instinct a placement high on this list, but there are two transformations that outpaces it in the cool factor. Which outpaces it in the cool factor.
2 Legendary Super Saiyan
Animalistic Anger
Ever since the public witnessed Broly turn into the Legendary Super Saiyan in his debut movie, this form has been a fan favorite, with each video game appearance being a highly anticipated event. With maximum power and super armor that can just eat attack without taking any knockback, it's easily one of the coolest transformations in Dragon Ball history.
Sparking Zero is also one of the few games where Broly isn't the only character with access to this transformation. The game also includes Kale from the Tournament of Power saga, who also has access to this transformation. Being able to wreak havoc as a girl in this form for once is a joy and nearly earns the Legendary Super Saiyan transformation the top spot on this list. It only loses that spot as the only thing cooler than a transformation is the ability to stack two transformations.
1 Fusion
Worth the Dance
The final entry on this list is the only one with two methods to obtain: Fusion. This ultimate technique used only by a few powerful fighters combines two characters into one fighter with vastly magnified power. The fusions available to play as in Sparking Zero are Gotenks, Vegito, Gogeta, Fused Zamasu, and Kefla. Each of them is an utter powerhouse and a contender for being a top-tier character in the game.
Once you have Unlocked a fusion character, you feel completely invincible as they will likely be the strongest character on your team. Especially if you stack transformations by having your fusions turn Super Saiyan to destroy your foes. There's a reason most players in online ranked matches are using fusions, more than earning this transformation the top slot on this list.

London: Thomas Tuchel is in talks with the Football Association about becoming England’s next manager, according to reports on Tuesday.
It follows reports that Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, who is out of contract at the end of the season, has been asked about his interest in the role.
Tuchel, 51, led Chelsea to Champions League glory in 2021 but was sacked the following year.
He has been among the bookmakers’ favourites for the England job since Gareth Southgate stood down after England lost to Spain in the Euro 2024 final in July.
Sky Sports said the German, who left Bayern Munich at the end of last season, was in “pole position” to become Southgate’s long-term replacement.
The Football Association declined to comment on the reports.
Lee Carsley was appointed as Southgate’s successor on a temporary basis in August, initially for the Nations League campaign over three international windows.
However, the 50-year-old, who stepped up from his role as under-21s manager, has since given mixed messages about whether he wants the job on a permanent basis.
Best candidate
Carsley, who has overseen three wins and a defeat, believes the job should go to the best candidate, regardless of nationality.
England have twice before been managed by foreign coaches, with Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello taking charge.
Carsley’s own chances of landing the job full time were severely dented by a 2-1 defeat at home to Greece last week after he named an experimental line-up.
“We’ve seen in the past that we’ve had different nationalities coach the team. The best candidate should get the job,” said the interim boss.
“I think we’d be putting ourselves in a corner if we didn’t, and we didn’t open our minds a bit.”

Taking the word “adult” to its limits.
There are many sweets stores in Japan, but right now there’s one that’s on everyone’s lips: Ginza Tsuki to Hana (“Ginza Moon and Flower”). Located in Tokyo’s upmarket Ginza neighbourhood, this store specialises in one thing only, “Otona no Jam Pan“, or “Adult Jam Bread“.
The word “otona” is commonly used in the sweets world to describe an indulgence that’s designed for adult palates, with much less sweetness in the mix than treats enjoyed by children. However, its literal translation as “adult” leads to some ambiguity from a Western viewpoint, especially when the adult jam bread looks like this.
It’s hard to know whether the creator of this bread really knew what they were doing when they added the “adult” moniker to this round bun with a slit in the centre, but the store claims it’s totally innocent, describing its use of “otona” with the following statement:
“The jam we use at our store focuses on the sourness of fruits rather than the sweetness, and has a sugar content (sweetness) that is about half that of commercially available jams. We do this because when the sugar content is raised, all fruits begin to taste similar…As a result, even though the sugar content is low, we have achieved a rich flavor that brings out the sugar content, acidity, and aroma of the fruit itself. This is why it’s a jam pie that’s strictly for adults.”
▼ In Japan, breads filled with jam or sweet pastes usually look like this, so the “adult” version has an elevated look and flavour.
Whether or not the double meaning of “adult” has anything to do with the look of the breads, they’ve certainly become extremely popular in Tokyo, despite being priced from 370-400 yen (US$2.48-$2.68) each, which is slightly expensive for a sweet bread.
▼ Ginza is known for its luxury vibe and expensive price tags, though, so in terms of the neighbourhood this is a reasonable price to pay for a small indulgence.
Our reporter P.K. Sanjun was in charge of taste-testing the adult breads, and after trying a bite of one untoasted, he told us frankly that it wasn’t delicious. However, when he toasted the bun in a toaster for about a minute, it became incredibly delicious, with the outside gaining a crunch that was similar to a savoury French bread.
▼ Despite the slight charring, once it was baked, it became light and crispy.
Tearing the berry one in two, the jam oozed out delectably, and upon tasting it, it made P.K.’s cheeks pucker with its distinct tartness. It was so astringent that some people might find it too sour, but although this was P.K.’s first time eating a jam with such a tart flavour, he found it to be delicious.
Next up, he tried the Adult Grape Jam, and it too was a tart experience. The sweet bread did a great job of offsetting the tartness to a certain extent, but there was no way this would appeal to children.
Then it was time for the apple, and by this stage, P.K. began to realise that the tartness of the jams really did help to accentuate the different flavours of the fruit contained within them. Even the apples here were more sour than sweet, which was another new experience for P.K.’s taste buds.
After trying the breads, P.K. can confidently say that they truly are for adults. It was his first time trying jam breads like these in Japan, and although he thinks they might be an acquired taste for sweet tooths, those with more bitter cravings will likely find these addictive.
Bakers in Japan really know how to push things to the extreme in Japan, where you can even find fried sandwiches filled with sweet and savoury fillings.

There is nothing worse than a blocked toilet but finding a way to deal with this quickly can be challenging, especially if you don't have a plunger.
If you've only got one bathroom or have guests coming over, dealing with this problem right away is essential.
If you're looking for an easy way to unblock your toilet without a plunger, here is everything you need to know.
The easiest way to unblock a toilet without using a plunger
According to B&Q, if you're facing a blocked toilet and don't have a plunger, one of the easiest ways to deal with it may be to use hot water.
The DIY brand says: "First, turn off the water supply to your toilet to stop the cistern refilling. Then, wearing rubber gloves, remove as much of the stagnant water as you can and place it in a bucket.
"Next, pour half a glass of washing-up liquid into the bowl to help lubricate it then wait 10 minutes.

"After 10 minutes, pour 2-3 litres of hot but not boiling water into the bowl which should create pressure at the blockage. Pour the water quickly but be careful not to scald yourself.
"Wait a few minutes to see if the water level falls. If the level doesn’t fall and there’s enough space inside the toilet bowl, repeat one more time.
"If the blockage persists, the next step is to try a plunger."

Get help: If your vehicle breaks down in extreme heat, call for assistance right away to reduce wait time, and run the AC. If the AC isn’t working, roll down all windows.
Wait safely: If the temperature inside your vehicle becomes too hot, everyone, including pets, should exit carefully and seek out or create a shaded area as far away from the travel lanes as possible. Be careful walking on the road surface, which can be hot enough to burn skin. Keep your shoes on and try to keep your pets’ paws off the pavement. If you are stopped along the highway, raise the front hood and turn on hazard lights. Please keep in mind that parking in tall brush can start a fire.
Check your vehicle: You can help avoid breakdowns and blowouts by making sure your vehicle is in good operating condition. Check your air conditioner and coolant levels, top off any vital engine fluids and make sure your battery is up to par. Check your tire pressure, as the combination of under inflated tires and hot pavement can lead to a blowout.

Björk announces Cornucopia: The Book
The photographic documentation of Björk’s otherworldly tour
Björk’s ability to translate her musicality across a variety of artistic mediums remains indisputable, as evidenced by the newly announced 480-page picture book chronicling her celebrated Cornucopia Tour. Sophisticated set designs, bespoke instruments, ethereal projections, and intricate costumes come together to redefine what a theatrical music performance can be in today’s world.
Alongside director Tobias Gremmler’s artwork, performances by The Hamrahlíð Choir, and contributions from other musical and visual artists, Cornucopia: The Book immortalises the meticulous work behind the ambitious live production. Designed by M/M Paris and with photography by Santiago Felipe, the softcover book features flaps with sewn sections.
Björk’s interest in avant-garde practices, including virtual reality technologies and 360-degree audiovisual software, materializes into a fully immersive, emotionally rich live experience.
The Cornucopia stage strikes a balance between nature and technology. Wooden, metallic, and glass materials; mycelium-textured surfaces; floral-patterned textiles; and deep-sea colours and shapes blend seamlessly in a sophisticated set design. Custom-made instruments and sonic spaces push the boundaries of traditional performance. A magnetic harp, an aluphone, a circular flute, and a reverb chamber resembling a personal chapel, specially crafted with an audio architect, enhance both the acoustic and intimate dimensions of Björk’s live show.
Cornucopia: The Book invites readers into Björk’s singular world of sound and vision, sharing the journey of "a modern marionette who alchemically mutates, from puppet to puppet, from the injury of a heart wound to a fully healed state".

Invincible season 3 confirms release date on Prime Video
It's on its way soon!
We finally have a release date for Invincible season 3 - and thankfully it's not too long to wait!
The third instalment of Prime Video's hit superhero series will begin on Thursday 6th February 2025. The new season will drop the first three episodes at once, with the remaining episodes being released weekly.
That's not all - fans have also been blessed with a teaser trailer, which gives a glimpse at what's set to come next for Mark Grayson, voiced by Steven Yeun, after he inherited his father's superpowers.
Thankfully, there's a lot more Invincible to come too, with season 4 already being confirmed by Prime Video.
The animated superhero series, an adaptation of Robert Kirkman's comic book series, stars Yeun as Mark Grayson, AKA the titular Invincible, a half-human, half-Viltrumite intent on saving Earth - including from his Viltrumite father Omni-Man.
Kirkman told Variety after the season 2 finale: "Thankfully, we worked on season 2 and season 3 concurrently. I guess, unfortunately, we’re too far along on season 3 to learn anything from season 2, but I think we’re picking up some things on how best to adapt this show.
"We’re learning different things on the animation side that work and don’t work that will continue to improve the show. I’m very happy with the show. I am loving how it’s turning out. I feel very strongly that season 2 is better than season 1, [and] season 3 will be better than season 2.
"If we’re fortunate enough to continue, I hope that we’ll be able to continue improving the show until the final season is just a perfect product that has no flaws in it whatsoever."
Invincible season 3 will begin on Prime Video on 6th February 2025 – you can sign up now for a free 30-day Prime Video trial.

The student union of Hyderabad Central University (HCU, also known as University of Hyderabad - UoH) has been dissolved with immediate effect, as notified by an official notice by the Office of Dean (Students’ Welfare) dated October 15.
As per the notice, the decision has been taken as per the approval of Vice-Chancellor Prof BJ Rao. The notice further added that the election commission will conduct fresh polls for the student union for the academic year 2024-25.
In November 2023, a Students' Federation of India (SFI)-led alliance formed the student union at HCU after a clean sweep during the campus elections for the academic year 2023-24, with Mohommed Atiq Ahmed elected as the president.
Now, the student group says that the decision to dissolve the existing student union by the HCU administration is “undemocratic and autocratic” and has been taken without adhering to the official procedure.
It is crucial to note that the official term of the Students' Union, which was elected on November 11, 2023, has not been completed.
“The Union office bearers unequivocally rejected this directive and demanded that the guidelines laid out by the Lyngdoh Commission must be strictly adhered to in all circumstances. However, in blatant violation of the Commission guidelines, the administration has forced the electoral process in the absence of over 400 PhD student admissions and within less than two weeks of the UG admissions," the SFI HCU said in a statement.
“The Students' Union Constituion clearly states that the union has the rightful term of 1 year from the date of election results. The procedure to be followed in exceptional circumstances is ensuring student representation through a Caretaker Union. In the face of clear democratic and official guidelines the administration has decided to completely dissolve the Union, blatantly neglecting and stifling the will of the students and the voice of the office bearers and student organizations,” the statement added.
The student group has demanded that the notification be revoked.

Is Israel using 'surrender or starve' strategy in Gaza?
October 15, 2024The Israeli military's latest invasion of Jabaliya in northern Gaza could not be more catastrophic for residents, who have already endured the bombardments and hardship of the Israel-Hamas war, now in its second year.
"It's dangerous here. Nobody can move. It's risky and unsafe. They asked us to leave, but there was no time. All of a sudden, the area was surrounded and under fire," said Mohammed, who didn't want to give his last name, by phone.
Almost two weeks ago, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a new ground offensive in the Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza and ordered people to leave the area — once again. The IDF said intelligence showed efforts by Hamas, the militant group that runs the enclave, to reestablish itself and regroup in the area.
Palestinians and the United Nations fear that the latest invasion is part of a wider implementation of a "surrender or starve" strategy by Israel to forcibly displace northern residents and seal off northern Gaza, plans Israel denies.
"The Israeli military appears to be cutting off North Gaza completely from the rest of the Gaza Strip," the UN Human Rights Office said in a statement.
Mohammed, 41, said his wife and three children were visiting relatives in neighboring Gaza City when tanks moved in and airstrikes intensified in Jabaliya. He asked them to stay put.
"My neighbors and I stay close to each other, trying to share what is left of food and water. I don't know how long it will last," he said.
The UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) estimates that 50,000 people were displaced from Jabaliya over the past two weeks, while others remain stranded in their homes because of heavy fighting around them. According to OCHA, about 84% of the territory is under "evacuation order" by the Israeli military.
Situation in northern Gaza is 'terrifying'
Earlier this month, the Israeli army published a map showing new evacuation orders in several areas of the Gaza Strip, including Beit Hanoun, Jabaliya and Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza. Residents were urged to leave immediately using the Salah al-Din route, a main north-south road, for the designated "humanitarian zone," an overcrowded area lacking basic services in southern Gaza that Israel has also targeted in the past.
But many are weary of being displaced and appear to be seeking shelter within northern Gaza amid increased bombardment and fighting. Aya Tawfik, a volunteer nurse, fled with her siblings and father from Jabaliya to nearby Sheikh Radwan, a neighborhood in northern Gaza City.
"We don't want to go south," Tawfik told DW via text message. "The conditions are harsh. We don't want to live in a tent, and there is bombing and death there, as well."
She described the situation in Jabaliya as "terrifying" as the fighting has also moved closer to the area where her family is now.
"We are staying in a house close to the new evacuation area. We can hear the explosions, the sounds of tanks and drones above us. We don't know if we can stay here or not," Tawfik said, adding that people were constantly on the move in search of safety.
Afraid of never being allowed back home
Gaza's emergency services say they can't move around areas of heavy fighting and have to leave calls for help unanswered.
"It's a great risk for the safety of paramedics and the civil defense to get close to these areas," said Fares Afana, head of the ambulance services in northern Gaza. "There are big numbers of those injured, and there are martyrs (dead bodies) scattered around in the streets."
The OCHA estimates that at least 400,000 people remain in northern Gaza, including Gaza City, the territory's largest city. Those who have remained in northern Gaza despite repeated military orders over the past year to leave for the south have done so for a variety of reasons.
Some are caring for elderly and sick relatives. Others simply refuse to be uprooted from their homes or feel unsafe going anywhere under the constant threat of airstrikes. Many families are separated and scattered throughout Gaza.
Both Mohammed and AYA Tawfik fear that they will never be allowed to return home to northern Gaza. The small territory is now divided by the Netzarim corridor, a new road controlled by the Israeli military that runs from east to west in central Gaza. Residents say the road has made it almost impossible to return to the north.
Gaza's Hamas-run Interior Ministry had instructed civilians to ignore the call to relocate to other areas in the north of the Strip and to avoid heading south. The Israeli military claimed in a statement on Monday that Hamas militants were actively preventing some people from leaving.
What is Israel's 'surrender or starve' strategy?
The military's latest moves and evacuation orders have led to speculation among Palestinians, media and aid organizations that the Israeli government is gradually implementing a "surrender or starve" strategy, also known as the "General's Plan," in northern Gaza.
The plan was proposed by a group of retired senior officers led by retired Major General Giora Eiland, a former national security adviser. According to Israeli media reports, the Israeli Cabinet has recently discussed several options, but it remains unclear whether any have been adopted.
The strategy reportedly aims to force Hamas and its leader, Yahya Sinwar, to surrender by putting pressure on the remaining population in the north. Israel has long accused Hamas and other militant groups of hiding among the civilian population. Under the plan, civilians would be ordered to leave through evacuation corridors in southern Gaza and the northern part would be formally sealed off. Anyone who remained would be considered an enemy combatant, and all supplies would be blocked in a complete siege.
Far-right calls for Israeli resettlement of Gaza
The Israeli left-wing newspaper Haaretz reported this week that senior defense officials have indicated that the political leadership is pushing for the annexation of parts of the Gaza Strip. This comes amid renewed calls by politicians and far-right ministers for the resettlement of Gaza.
Far-right groups have announced a large gathering in the coming days to "train" for the resettlement of Gaza. However, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly denied any plans to allow Israeli settlers into Gaza.
While it is unclear whether the military has adopted any components of the plan in its current invasion, UnN officials have sounded the alarm.
"Since [October 1], Israeli authorities have increasingly cut off northern Gaza from essential supplies," Muhannad Hadi, humanitarian coordinator for the Occupied Palestinian Territory, said in a statement on Sunday. The statement added that the military operations have forced bakeries, medical points and shelters to close, while "hospitals have seen an influx of trauma injuries."
For people such as Tawfik, surviving this latest Israeli incursion is all that matters. "This invasion is harder than the last," Tawfik said. "We have no more energy. We are completely exhausted. We are constantly fighting to stay alive and not to lose our minds."

When it comes to iconic attacks and techniques, no anime quite matches Dragon Ball. Nearly everyone in the whole world has at least heard of the Kamehameha at least once. Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero respects this iconography and does its best to include nearly every attack from the franchise in the game. Every single one of the game's 182 characters possesses a different ultimate attack which they use in battle.
10 Games To Play If You Love Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero
Here are a few Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero alternatives!
With nearly 200 of these ultimates in the game (and all of them looking stellar), it can be difficult to decide which is the best. However, if one were to examine them all and judge them on aspects like how much damage they do and their overall cool factor, then it becomes possible to construct a list of the best ultimate attacks in Sparking Zero.
10 Sonic Blast
He will not let you destroy his world
What's cooler than instant transmissioning once before a Kamehameha (as Goku did during the Cell Saga)? Instant transmissioning multiple times before one! For Goku (Super) Super Saiyan’s ultimate attack, Sonic Blast, he'll teleport multiple times to completely confuse them, before unleashing his iconic beam attack right at them, blasting them away.
This ultimate begins with a dash move before transitioning into the actual blast which will hit your opponent eight times for 18,000 damage in total! A devastating strike that will leave a look of pure satisfaction on any player's face. That, combined with how cool this attack looks, more than earns this recreation of a Battle of Gods attack a spot on this list.
9 Hellzone Grenade
Kame and Nail's power combined
Piccolo is a character who doesn't have the best track record when it comes to fights. Throughout the entire manga, he loses far more than he wins. This bad track record of his has always made his fight against Android 17 in the Cell Saga stand out. Especially the new technique he used in it: Hellzone Grenade.
While this attack was pretty unremarkable in previous Budokai Tenkaichi games, in Sparking Zero the attack gets to shine as Piccolo throws out bundles of explosive ki around his opponent before pulling them all in to do 30 hits for a total of 19,950 damage. Not bad for a character with this big a loss streak.
8 Ozaru Fist
Ender of Demon Kings
The next ultimate attack on this list belongs to the only OG Dragon Ball character in Sparking Zero: Kid Goku's Ozaru Fist. This devastating attack that was used to defeat the Demon King Piccolo sees Goku fly into the air as the aura of a Great Ape forms around him before he eventually slams into the enemy's stomach.
Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO: How to Unlock Alternate Paths
Optional paths are easy to spot, but can be a challenge to start.
This callback and acknowledgment of Goku's more animalistic side is greatly appreciated in a series that originated with Journey to the West. The attack itself may only hit the opponent two times, but within those two hits, it will do a devastating 14,250 damage. More than enough to burst through the stomach of any opponent and, of course, enough to make it onto this list.
7 Big Bang Attack
Explosions are Cool
Just because an attack only ever worked on a weak opponent doesn't mean it wasn't cool. Cell Saga Vegeta's Big Bang Attack has always been an iconic move for the character and is a mainstay in nearly every video game he appears in. Simplicity is the Big Bang Attack's beauty, as it's nothing more than a big ball of ki launched at an enemy's face.
Don't let appearances be deceiving though. The Big Bang attack may look like a single blast, but it will hit your opponent 21 times to deal 15,750 damage. More than enough to blow up an android and get a placement on this list.
6 Dragon Fist
Destroyer of Movie Villains
Super Saiyan 4 from Dragon Ball GT may not be a canon transformation, but no one will ever deny that it's cool. Super Saiyan 4 Goku’s ultimate attack in Sparking Zero is, of course, the iconic Dragon Fist. While performing this attack the golden aura of Shenron surrounds Goku as he delivers a devastating blow similar to the Ozaru punch from OG Dragon Ball.
The attack may only hit the opponent 3 times, once for each impact of Goku's fist, but those three hits will do a combined total of 19,501 damage! The attack may not be canon, but it's more than worth purchasing SSJ4 Goku in the shop and at the very least has earned a spot on this list.
5 Super Ghost Buu Attack
Come Out, Ghosties!
The next attack on the list belongs to Super Buu, his Super Ghost Buu Attack! While the attack may appear to start incredibly simplistic, with Super Buu just performing the Ghost Kamikaze Attack, it quickly escalates as each of those ghosts performs the Masenko and Kamehameha. Seeing Super Buu actually use the techniques of those he's absorbed is a sight to behold.
Despite there being eight ghosts surrounding your target, the attack will actually hit them 21 times to do a total of 20,500 damage! With a cool-looking attack, great damage, and a good showcase of how Buu's absorption works, this attack more than earns a placement on this list.
4 Gigantic Burst
Game Over, Now You're Through
One of the coolest moments in the Tournament of Power saga of Dragon Ball Super was when Kefla tried to burn through all her energy in a single attack to take out Ultra Instinct Goku. The attack may not have worked, but the visual of combining two separate swirling attacks into a single beam is absolutely perfect for a fusion character.
Review: DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO
A successor to Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi spectacularly enters the ring.
The Sparking Zero version of this attack is a beam that goes by in the blink of an eye. In that short span of time, the attack will deal 25,594 damage through a total of 11 hits. This combo of attacks easily earns placement on this list with that damage alone.
Kefla is one of my personal favorite designs from Dragon Ball: Super and any video game where she makes an appearance is a good one.
3 Earth Breaker
Stronger than Time
The next attack on this list is one quite literally strong enough to destroy a planet: Golden Frieza's Earth Breaker strike! Upon activating this attack, Golden Frieza will unleash a fierce combo on your enemy, dealing 7 mighty blows of damage before knocking them to the ground and unleashing an attack right at the planet's surface for a total of 21 hits.
Frieza's Earth Breaker is one of the most devastating ultimates in the game, dealing 24,376 damage upon landing it. If you're facing a Golden Frieza player, your best hope is to dodge this attack entirely and strike him while his back is exposed.
2 Shining Sword Attack
Justice from the Future
Can't mention how cool Frieza is without also talking about the attack that killed him: Trunk's Shining Sword Attack. While most attacks in Dragon Ball involve either a flurry of punches or ki blasts, this one is quite unique in that it simply slices and dices your opponent to bits with a sword. He may not be one of the strongest characters in the game, but Trunks wins over the hearts of many with this strike.
Or at least it does for the first 10 blows in the combo. The remaining 12 hits come from Trunks finishing off your opponent by firing a singular orange ki blast to disintegrate them. Once it's all over, you'll have done a total of 21,645 damage to your opponent. An attack this unique and iconic has more than earned its way onto the list.
1 Super Spirit Bomb
Goku's Ultimate Gambit
The final attack to round off this list is the very same one that ended the final fight of Dragon Ball Z: the Super Spirit Bomb. After gaining energy willingly given by the entire universe, Goku is able to throw it all down as a single attack to destroy the evil Majin Buu. Sparking Zero's fantastic animation does the attack justice.
Upon hitting your opponent, they'll be given a brief glimpse of hope as the first five hits they take won't do much damage, but then the sixth will arrive to do a total of 19,688 damage! Enough to ruin the day of any evil conquer and to top this list.

Here are four great places in Japan where you can enjoy both the fall foliage as well as a soak in the hot springs.
Many parts of Japan are celebrating the arrival of autumn with scenic festivals or seasonal changes to the menu at the moment. As the days get chillier, the thought of a visit to a hot spring also sounds more and more appealing. Luckily, Booking.com Japan has compiled a list of highly user-ranked places from across Japan where travelers can soak in both the foliage as well as a hot bath. After all, why spring for just one when you can fall for both?
● Area for leaf-peeping: Sounkyo Onsen (Hokkaido)
Lodging name: Sounkaku
Online rating: 8.2/10 points
Website
The first recommendation is also the furthest north on the island prefecture of Hokkaido. The leaves in the Sounkyo Onsen area are sometimes called “the earliest foliage in Japan” because they begin changing color at the end of August and last through mid-October. Allow yourself a special treat by staying at the oldest hotel in the area, Sounkaku, which was built in 1923 during Japan’s Taisho period (1912-1926). You can enjoy the fall leaves from an open-air bath on the premises or at other popular leaf-peeping spots nearby such as the Ginsendai trailhead at Daisetsuzan National Park or Daisetsu Kogen Onsen.
● Area for leaf-peeping: Daisen (Tottori Prefecture)
Lodging name: Shukubo Kanshoin Yamarakuso
Online rating: 9.0/10 points
Website
Next, let’s travel south to Tottori Prefecture’s Mt. Daisen, which is the tallest mountain in the Chugoku region of Japan. It’s known as a preeminent spot for leaf-viewing in the western part of the country, where the leaves typically begin changing color in early October and last through early November. Daisenji, an important temple in the area with a centuries-old history, offers lodging where visitors can also sample vegetarian Buddhist cuisine, practice zazen meditation, or copy sutras. Once you’ve had your fill of that, you can go on a long hike on the mountain before relaxing in a large bath at the end of the day.
● Area for leaf-peeping: Iya (Tokushima Prefecture)
Lodging name: Iya no Yado Kazuraya
Online rating: 9.2/10 points
Website
The Iya region of Tokushima Prefecture is still considered to be a largely unexplored gem due to its remoteness on the island of Shikoku. Most famous for its kazurabashi, or vine suspension bridges, Iya’s fall foliage is spectacular in early November. The Iya no Yado Kazuraya hotel, which has a gorgeous open-air bath and cuisine based on edible wild plants and river fish, is only a ten-minute walk from the largest vine bridge–itself a registered Tangible Folk Culture Property of Japan. There are plenty of other local places from which to enjoy the fall colors as well, including Mt. Tsurugi, the Oku-Iya Double Vine Bridge area, and Hinoji Valley.
● Area for leaf-peeping: Zao (Miyagi Prefecture)
Lodging name: Chikusenso Onsen
Online rating: 9.3/10 points
Website
Mt. Zao, which is home to a well-known skiing resort that straddles Miyagi and Yamagata Prefectures, is a mecca for fall foliage. The Chikusenso resort hotel is located just off of the Zao Echo Line scenic road and has its own walking path on the premises to enjoy the seasonal colors. With its spacious grounds, clear mountain stream, natural onsen, and traditional Japanese banquet cuisine making use of local flavors, it’s no wonder that this entry scored one of the highest online ratings for enjoying all that autumn has to offer.
Japanese news reports are so far saying that the prime leaf-peeping season should be on average time or a little bit later than usual this year. Whether you go to one of the above locales or just admire the leaves from your bedroom window, make sure you simply take the time to soak it all in.

NYC father arrested, mother charged after 4-year-old son dies
HARLEM - Police have arrested the father of the 4-year-old boy found dead in Harlem, while his mother is expected to appear in court.
Outside the apartment building where 4-year-old Jahmeik Modlin spent his short, tragic life, residents have placed teddy bears, candles and balloons in memory of the child.
Neighbors told FOX 5 they rarely saw him outside.
Modlin's mother, Nytavia Ragsdale, 26, has been charged with Criminally Negligent Homicide and Endangering the Welfare of a Child, police said.
Police sources told FOX 5 the boy appeared severely malnourished. On Monday afternoon, police officers from the Elite Emergency Unit went into the apartment in search of the boy's father.
He did not live with the mother, but sources close to the investigation say he was the one who called 911 on Sunday night and told them his son was unconscious.
According to police, Modlin was taken to Harlem Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
Sources said doctors and staff did everything they could to keep him alive, but Modlin was pronounced dead Monday morning around 5:50 a.m.
Sources told FOX 5 NY's Lisa Evers he has been arrested and is now in custody.
Now in Harlem, there is outrage, but most of all, sadness.
"I feel like it's a blessing to have a child. If you can't take care of a child, then you shouldn't have them. You know, put them up for adoption," resident Robert Paulin said. "I have got 23 grandchildren and I lost one two years ago. Children are our future."
The father will be charged sometime today.
Authorities are waiting for the final results of the Medical Examiners investigation to find out if the boy was starved to death or by other causes.

Celebrate Día de los Muertos at one of London (and the world’s) finest Mexican restaurants
Día de los Muertos will arrive at KOL in Marylebone on 2 November, with a collaborative menu including dishes from the chefs behind Endo at The Rotunda to The Connaught, wrapped up with a mezcal fiesta
Keep your calendars free on 2 November as Mexican restaurant KOL is set to celebrate Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) in its authentic culinary style. Founder of Michelin-starred KOL , and new restaurant Fonda, the Mexico City native, Santiago Lastra has put together an exclusive evening which welcomes some of London’s most acclaimed culinary and drink experts to put together a gastronomic line-up to collectively celebrate the Mexican holiday.
Celebrate Día de los Muertos at KOL
The annual holiday is celebrated across Mexico, and is a time where families and friends celebrate the lives of loved ones who have passed. Each area has unique traditions from fireworks and dancing, to more intimate moments, yet a common denominator is the exchanging of food. Home altars (ofrendas) are filled with the favourite foods and drinks of the departed, while iconic dishes like pan de muerta - a sweetened bread - are shared around.
Lastra has delivered these vibrant festivities to the heart of Marylebone, for a fun evening of food, music and cocktails. Harnessing the KOL kitchen Hélène Darroze, chef patron of The Connaught in Mayfair, Chef Isaac McHale of The Clove Club in Shoreditch; and third-generation sushi master, Endo Kazutoshi of Endo at The Rotunda in White City, will collaborate on a sumptuous nine-course menu, with two dishes from each chef, which blends everyone’s individual styles in the home of the 17th best restaurant in the world.
Referencing Día de los Muertos' essence of community and connection, the evening will present an innovative nine-course menu, with two dishes from each chef and a beverage course from the bar teams. The menu will meld individual styles and memories, crafting a culinary experience of cultural celebration. Accompanying the decadent dishes, drink pairings selected by Ago Perrone from Connaught Bar and his right-hand and assistant director, Giorgio Bargiani, will tantalise the taste buds with wonderful mixology.
Once plates have been cleared and stomachs full, the festivities have only just begun. The evening will continue downstairs to KOL’s Mezcaleria where there will be live mariachi music, flamboyant colours celebrating traditional art, vibrant face painting and, of course, an abundance of mezcal on offer. A final tipple of the night can be selected from an exclusive cocktail menu crafted for this night only, which is in collaboration with Volcan Tequila - this will be a fiesta you won't want to miss.
Tickets for the collaborative dinner are £280 per person and are available here. This ticket includes access to the KOL Mezcaleria Fiesta. The KOL Mezcaleria Fiesta will begin at 20.00 and run until 01.00. Tickets for the fiesta after-party can be bought separately for £15 and can be purchased via the KOL website.

During a MAGA boat parade on Sunday, one group flew swastikas alongside Trump 2024 flags.
The parade drew a healthy crowd, with former President Donald Trump’s son Eric and his wife Lara in attendance.
The Nazi display—which also featured racial slurs yelled by the boat’s passengers—was upsetting and offensive to many. However, some Republicans claim that the group on the boat with swastikas weren’t actually Trump supporters, but people attempting to smear Trump supporters.
Today, far-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer tweeted that the boat with the Nazi flags is owned by someone who is “not a registered Republican and is not a Trump supporter.”
“He has been accused in the past of passing out Nazi flyers,” Loomer tweeted. “This was clearly a set up to make it look like Trump supporters at the boat parade are Nazis.”
The man Loomer referenced previously passed out antisemitic flyers in Punta Gorda, Florida in 2022 and was identified by local police. The Daily Sun, a Florida outlet, also connected the flyers to the Goyim Defense League (GDL), a neo-Nazi group in Florida.
But the flyers weren’t apolitical Nazi propaganda. They reiterated the pro-Trump slogan “Let’s Go Brandon,” while calling out members of the Biden administration.
The Daily Dot was unable to independently confirm the boat’s owner.
Colton McCormick, another Trump supporter, provided a different explanation. In a post on his social media accounts, he said that the boat with the Nazi flags was actually piloted by antifa, a leftist organization, who were “undercover as Trump supporters.”
“These were the Antifa scums that attended the boat parade today!!” McCormick said in an Instagram post. “They were undercover dressed as Trump supporters while flying Swastika flags!!”
Jim Pfaff, the president of the Conservative Caucus, a right-wing organization, also said that the Nazi display alongside the Trump flags was “so obviously a ruse.”
Many others claimed that not only were the Nazi flags flown by leftists, the Republican party doesn’t associate with Nazis, highlighting another boat spraying the Nazi group with water.
“Far left ANTIFA Nazis tried to join a Trump boat parade. They were flying Nazi flags and Trump flags, trying to create a literal false flag event,” far-right influencer Wall Street Silver tweeted. “Trump supporters dealt with the ANTIFA infiltrators appropriately.”

The Namibia Airports Company (NAC) has announced profits of N$40.8 million for the 2023/2024 fiscal year, more than double recorded in the previous fiscal period.
The announcement was made at the company's annual general meeting (AGM), held on 30 September in Windhoek.
"NAC demonstrated resilience and determination, navigating challenges while forging a strategic direction," NAC chief executive Bisey /Uirab says.
The NAC is now up-to-date and fully compliant with the submission of its audited annual financial statements, notes a media statement released on Tuesday.
The company is currently operating at approximately 92% pre-Covid levels, in terms of overall passenger volumes, states the NAC.
The AGM was also attended by various representatives from the Ministry of Works and Transport, the Ministry of Finance and Public Enterprises, the NAC board of directors and NAC management.
"NAC is one of the few public enterprises that have caught up with the backlog and could be used as an example to help other state-owned enterprises," says Louise Shixwameni, the deputy executive director of public enterprises.
The NAC notes planned infrastructure developments, among them the construction of solar power plants at Hosea Kutako International Airport (HKIA), Eros, and Andimba Toivo ya Toivo airports, at the cost of N$9.5 million.
The company's plans further include the finalisation of the transfer of land to the NAC for the construction of new terminal buildings at Katima Mulilo, Rundu and Lüderitz airports, as well as the upgrading of the parking management system at HKIA, Walvis Bay Airport and Andimba Toivo ya Toivo Airport.

Butte County faces nemesis Grace in postseason push with senior Hayley Jardine setting the tone
Published atARCO – It’s early afternoon on a Saturday and the host Butte County volleyball team lines up for the postgame handshake with Mackay.
Another day, another win against a quality opponent for the Pirates.
Actually, make that two quality wins as Butte County also beat Rockland, both matches ending 3-0.
It’s a good day for the home team, which improved to 34-8-1. Both Mackay and Rockland are ranked in the latest 1A state coaches poll.
But, once the handshakes and photos are done, the net is taken down, and the small gym in Arco is cleared out, it’s time to focus on the next opponent.
That would be Grace.
“It’s more of a mental game with Grace,” Butte County senior setter Hayley Jardine said. “We have to play our best.”
Rivalries aren’t typically built over one or two years, but Butte County players remember who stood in their way last season with a chance to play in the state tournament.
Yep, it was Grace, who after losing the first match to Butte County in the best 2 of 3 district tournament, came back to win the next two matches to advance. All three matches went to five sets.
Butte County’s season ended, while Grace advanced to the state title match.
The postseason buildup begins this week as Butte County and Grace conclude the regular season on Thursday.
Then the real fun begins.
The 2A High Desert Conference has just two teams, so Butte County and Grace are familiar foes. The best 2 of 3 district tournament begins next Monday with two matches. An if-necessary match would be played on Wednesday, but the Pirates hope it doesn’t get to that point. The eventual district winner would also have to win a state play-in game next Saturday to advance.
“We’re playing pretty well,” Butte County coach Gretchen Simpson said after Saturday’s matches. “We’re controlling what we can control on our side of the court.”
Simpson noted last year’s team was very young. This year’s squad, with just two seniors, is still relatively young, but has played like experienced upperclassmen.
“Even last year I knew we can get it,” Jardine said of thinking about a rematch with Grace and chasing the district title. “(Last) year might not have been our year, but we got it next year.”
Next year is here.
After last year’s run, Grace is 8-16 this season and Butte County already has a 3-0 win over the Grizzlies.
Perhaps the most interesting storyline on the Butte County team is Jardine.
While she’s technically a senior, and the team’s only starting senior, she’s a year and a half ahead in her classwork.
At 16, she’s set to graduate in December after taking online classes since last year.
She’ll attend Idaho State University next fall.
She said she’s excited to eventually move onto a new challenge, but first up is the postseason.
Butte County is ranked No. 2 in the state coaches 2A poll, behind only defending state champion Troy.
Despite still being young, the Pirate lineup does have experience and definitely has motivation after the way last year ended.
“Those younger players played together a long time,” Simpson said. “They’re pretty solid and they are competitors … We gave Grace a good run for their money at the district championship last year. That gave them the confidence and mental toughness to stick with it and persevere.”
Is that enough?
The Pirates will find out next week.

As the indefinite hunger strike by the junior doctors in Kolkata entered the 11th day today, Tuesday, October 15, two more junior doctors have joined in the agitation.
Dr Rumelika Kumar, a third-year Community Medicine Post Graduate Trainee (PGT) doctor at All India Institute of Hygiene and Public Health, Kolkata, and Dr Spandan Chowdhury, a second-year General Medicine PGT doctor at Midnapore Medical College and Hospital, have joined the ‘fast-unto-death’ agitation from today, October 15.
It might be recalled that despite a meeting between medical representatives and the state government on Monday, October 15, no resolution was reached. The situation worsened as two additional doctors participating in the 'fast-unto-death' protest in Kolkata's Esplanade area fell ill.
The doctors have been protesting the tragic rape and murder of a Postgraduate Trainee (PGT) doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital which occurred on August 9, over two months ago.
The indefinite hunger strike at Kolkata’s Esplanade area started on October 5, after over 50 days of 'cease work' which was held in two phases, and has continued for 11 days now. So far, four doctors have fallen critically ill and have been admitted to the ICU.
The doctors demand a precise timeline from the Government of West Bengal to address their ten-point demands, along with justice for Abhaya, and safety and security for healthcare workers.

Middle East: US gives Israel 30 days to boost Gaza aid
Published October 15, 2024last updated October 15, 2024What you need to know
-
Lebanon's Hezbollah vows to inflict "pain" on Israel, while saying a cease-fire is the "solution"
- UN Security Council voices "strong concern" for peacekeepers in southern Lebanon during emergency session in New York
- UNIFIL head says peacekeepers to remain in their positions
- Australia imposes fresh sanctions on Iran
Here are the latest developments on the Israel-Lebanon escalation, Gaza and the wider Middle East region on Tuesday, October 15:
US warns Israel of concern on aid to Gaza, risk of losing weapons
US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller has confirmed that Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin have written to Israeli ministers about the White House's concerns on the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
Miller said the letter had been sent to Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer.
The letter was sent as US President Joe Biden's administration noted a recent decrease in assistance reaching Gaza.
Miller said Blinken and Austin had made "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, the letter said. Israel must also institute additional humanitarian pauses and provide increased security for humanitarian sites, Austin and Blinken said.
They said Israel had 30 days to respond to the requirements.
Miller said the US knows it is possible to get humanitarian aid into Gaza and that bureaucratic and logistical obstacles can be surmounted.
"We need to see further changes by the government of Israel," Miller said, adding that there were implications under US law. He said Washington hoped that Israel would make the changes outlined in the letter.
It was said to have restated US policy toward humanitarian aid and arms transfers from the US to Israel.
The letter was sent amid deteriorating conditions in northern Gaza and reports that Israel had conducted a strike on a hospital tent site in central Gaza.
UNWRA deputy chief has 'deep concerns' about civilians in northern Gaza
Sam Rose, senior deputy director of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, or UNRWA, told DW that he has "deep concerns" about the population of northern Gaza. Most worrying, he said, is the Jabalia refugee camp, which Israel has started to surround, claiming that Hamas militants are regrouping there.
"We have deep, deep concerns about the lives, the well-being and the protection of the civilian population that's in that part of of Gaza," Rose said.
"About 400,000 people remain in Gaza City and Jabalia," Rose said, "and around half of those are children."
"Very little aid has got into northern Gaza over the past 2-3 weeks," Rose said, "less than at any time since the start of the conflict."
"We're hearing that, that a number of trucks may have crossed from Israel into northern Gaza this this morning," Rose said.
"But, given the harrowing situation that people are in," Rose said, "that flow will need to be increased."
"We're worried for the immediate lives and and and and and well-being of a population, particularly in Jabalia," Rose said, "that's been under very, very heavy bombardment now for several days and literally has nowhere to go."
Amid a resurgence of polio in Gaza, Rose said it did not appear likely that a planned second phase of vaccinations could happen in Jabalia.
"If we're not able to vaccinate enough children collectively," Rose said, "then the immunity of the population overall is at risk."
US tells Israel to improve Gaza's humanitarian situation or risk aid
The United States has demanded that the Israeli government act to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza within the next 30 days or face a suspension of military aid.
"We are writing now to underscore the US government's deep concern over the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza, and seek urgent and sustained actions by your government this month to reverse this trajectory," Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin wrote in a letter on Sunday, according to US news outlet Axios and Israeli News 12 reporters.
In the letter to Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer, they outlined specific steps that Israel must take within 30 days. These steps include enabling a minimum of 350 trucks to enter Gaza per day, instituting pauses in fighting to allow aid delivery and rescinding evacuation orders to Palestinian civilians when there is no operational need.
"Failure to demonstrate a sustained commitment to implementing and maintaining these measures may have implications for US policy ... and relevant US law," the letter said.
Countries receiving US military aid and involved in active conflicts must allow the uninterrupted transfer of US-supported humanitarian aid, as per US law and a memorandum signed by President Joe Biden.
The US and Israeli governments did not immediately react to the Axios report.
Hezbollah warns of widespread attack on Israel
Hezbollah Deputy Chief Naim Qassem vowed on Tuesday to inflict "pain" on Israel while also saying the group was open to a cease-fire.
Threatening to strike targets across Israel, the Lebanese militant group said it would not be defeated by the ongoing bombardment of its strongholds and leadership.
"Since the Israeli enemy targeted all of Lebanon, we have the right from a defensive position to target any place" in Israel, he said.
He warned that "up to 2 million will be in danger at any time" and added: "We will focus on targeting the Israeli military and its centers and barracks."
With Israel engaged in conflicts in both Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, Hezbollah's deputy chief said a cease-fire that included Gaza was the only possible path to a resolution.
"The solution is a cease-fire," the deputy chief said in a recorded speech. "We are not speaking from a position of weakness. If the Israelis do not want that, we will continue."
"But after the cease-fire, according to an indirect agreement, the settlers would return to the north, and other steps would be outlined," Qassem said.
Italian PM to visit Lebanon
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni plans to visit Lebanon and has called for security guarantees for Italian troops there.
Her comments come after UN peacekeepers were injured in Israeli military operations against Hezbollah in the area where the blue helmets are stationed.
Although no Italian troops were injured, the country's 1,000 troops represent the second-largest contingent deployed by the UN peacekeeping mission, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL).
"In recent days, for the first time in a year of Israeli military actions, the positions of the Italian military contingent assigned to the UNIFIL mission of the United Nations have been hit by the Israeli army," Meloni told the Italian Senate.
"Although there were no casualties or significant damage," Meloni said, "I believe this cannot be considered acceptable."
She demanded that the security of the UN peacekeepers be guaranteed.
Components for US THAAD missile defense system arrive in Israel
The US military confirmed that components for its high-altitude anti-missile system arrived in Israel on Monday.
The Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery is meant to bolster Israeli air defenses in case of an Iranian missile attack.
"Over the coming days, additional US military personnel and THAAD battery components will continue to arrive in Israel," Pentagon spokesperson Major General Pat Ryder said.
"The deployment of the THAAD battery to Israel underscores the United States' commitment to the defense of Israel and to defend Americans in Israel from any ballistic missile attacks by Iran," he added.
The measure includes the deployment of about 100 US troops to Israel.
Police officer killed after gunman opens fire near Tel Aviv
Israel police said a gunman opened fire on a highway near the Israeli city of Tel Aviv on Tuesday, killing a police officer and wounding four civilians before he was shot dead by a passerby.
Authorities did not provide any details about the identity of the attacker.
"A short time ago a terrorist just came over to the main road here next to Tel Aviv, next to Yavne, and started shooting toward a police car, then went on and shot other ongoing cars and wounded our people," police spokesperson Mirit Ben Mayor told reporters.
The shooter was killed by an off-duty Israeli paramedic who happened to be on the road at the time.
"I was driving on the road, I saw a terrorist shooting, I jumped out of the car and neutralized him," the unidentified paramedic who shot the gunman told Israeli media during a live interview from the scene.
UN urges probe into Israeli strike on Lebanese village
The United Nations on Tuesday demanded a "prompt, independent and thorough investigation" into an Israeli strike on the northern Lebanese village of Aito, which it said had killed 22 civilians.
According to an AFP photographer at the scene, Monday's strike leveled a residential building at the entrance to the Christian-majority village.
The UN human rights agency said it had received reports that most of the 22 victims of the airstrike were women and children.
"What we are hearing is that amongst the 22 people killed were 12 women and two children," UN human rights spokesperson Jeremy Laurence told a Geneva press briefing.
"We understand it was a four-story residential building that was struck. With these factors in mind, we have real concerns with respect to IHL (International Humanitarian Law), so the laws of war, and the principles of distinction, proportion and proportionality," he added.
Iranian commander Esmail Ghaani resurfaces at funeral in Tehran
Iranian commander Esmail Ghaani appeared in public to attend the funeral ceremony of slain general Abbas Nilforoushan, quashing rumors of his death.
Ghaani, who heads the Quds Force of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, had disappeared from public view for some weeks now and was thought to have been killed in an Israeli strike in Lebanon.
However, on Tuesday, he appeared at the funeral wearing the Revolutionary Guard's green military uniform.
Nilforoushan, a general in the Revolutionary Guards, was killed last month alongside Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah by Israeli airstrikes on Beirut.
Australia imposes fresh sanctions on Iranian individuals
Australia's government has imposed financial sanctions and travel bans on five Iranians who contribute to the nation's missile defense program, Foreign Minister Penny Wong said.
She said that Iran's launch of at least 180 ballistic missiles against Israel on October 1 was "a dangerous escalation that increased the risk of a wider regional war."
The sanctions were imposed on two directors and a senior officer at Iran's Aerospace Industries Organization. The director of the Shahid Bagheri Industrial Group and the commercial director of the Shahid Hemmat Industrial Group were also targeted.
The announcement brings the total number of Iran-linked people sanctioned by Australia to 200.
"Australia will continue to hold Iran to account for its reckless and destabilizing actions," Wong said.
Israeli government says it will listen to US but make own 'final decisions'
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement that Israel would listen to the United States but make its own decisions based on national interest.
"We listen to the opinions of the United States, but we will make our final decisions based on our national interests," Netanyahu's office said in a statement that was first quoted by The Washington Post and later by news agencies including Reuters.
The statement comes amid anticipation that Israel will retaliate to Iran's missile strikes on October 1.
The Washington Post reported, citing two official sources familiar with the matter, that Netanyahu assured the US that Israel would rather strike Iran's military assets over its oil and nuclear facilities.
The US is a steadfast supporter of Israel in its conflict with Hamas and now Hezbollah. However, President Joe Biden has warned Israel against striking Iran's energy facilities in order to avoid a further expansion of regional war and a spike in global energy prices.
UN Security Council expresses 'strong concern' over attacks on peacekeepers
The United Nations Security Council voiced "strong concern" over attacks on UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon days after at least five were wounded during fighting in the area.
The Security Council reiterated its support for the mission's role "in supporting regional security" after a session late on Monday in New York City.
It follows a series of incidents in which members of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) peacekeepers in southern Lebanon were wounded by Israeli military fire, often at their designated posts.
In one notable incident on Sunday, two Israeli tanks burst through the gates of a UNIFIL base, the UN said. At least five peacekeepers were injured. Israel has rejected the UN's account of the incident.
Members called on all parties "to respect the safety and security of UNIFIL personnel and UN premises," said Switzerland's UN envoy Pascale Baeriswyl, who serves as the acting president of the Security Council.
"They recall that UN peacekeepers and UN premises must never be the target of an attack," he said.
UNIFIL is tasked with supporting efforts to disarm militias, including Hezbollah, in southern Lebanon and help the Lebanese army keep control of the area close to the border with Israel. Israel has criticized the peacekeeping operation for failing to keep Hezbollah weapons and fighters out of this region, a key part of its mandate.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday repeated a call for UNIFIL troops to leave certain areas near the border during its military operations. He accused Hezbollah of using the UNIFIL forces as "human shields," staying in close proximity to them intentionally.
But the peacekeeping force has repeatedly said it will stay in all of its posts.
"A decision was made that UNIFIL will currently stay in all its positions, in spite of the calls that were made by the Israeli forces to vacate the positions that were in the vicinity of the blue line," said the UN's head of peacekeeping operations, Jean-Pierre Lacroix.

One of the United States' largest accidental spills of PFAS "forever chemicals" occurred this past summer at a former navy base in Maine. Now, health advocates have accused state officials of trying to cover up the dangers of this incident, the Guardian reported.
What's happening?
At Brunswick naval air station near the coast of Maine, a fire suppression system malfunctioned, spilling about 51,000 gallons of PFAS-containing foam into surface water and causing massive levels of contamination.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are synthetic chemicals used in consumer products and firefighting foam. They're commonly referred to as "forever chemicals" because they do not degrade naturally in the environment.
Health advocates said the state took too long to alert citizens, released misleading information, and resisted calls to check nearby drinking water to stop the contamination from spreading.
Shortly after the spill, the Maine department of environmental protection issued a "do not eat" warning for local fish and began testing nearby bodies of water.
A following progress report by the state government listed a reading of one of the most dangerous PFAS compounds, PFOS, as 3,230 parts per million, even though PFAS levels are usually reported in parts per trillion. In this case, that would be 3.2bn ppt.
Using the alternative unit of measurement makes the results seem less significant. Sarah Woodbury, director of Defend Our Health, referred to the government's communication as "unconscionable."
She said, "Causing confusion like that, however unintentional it was, just increases the distrust that people have when it comes to government dealing with catastrophes like this."
Why is PFAS contamination important?
Accidental spills of the chemical compounds into soil and surface water can lead to dangerous levels of contamination in water and wildlife that we use for food.
PFAS have been linked to a number of serious health issues for humans, like cancer, kidney disease, birth defects, decreased immunity, and high cholesterol, per the Guardian.
Studies have shown that PFAS can also harm wildlife. Research published in the Science of the Total Environment journal, summarized by Monga Bay, revealed that animals respond differently to the chemicals, but they can also experience health problems like decreased immunity and reproductive issues.
What's being done about PFAS exposure?
In Maine, health advocates were urging the government to provide bottled water to residents until further testing is done on drinking water and asking for soil to be tested in affected areas.
There is also a military effort to switch to PFAS-free firefighting foam and properly dispose of the old product by October 2025.
To lower PFAS exposure in daily life, use an effective water filter, avoid food packaging and containers that contain PFAS, and switch to cookware that's free from PFAS, like stainless steel and glass options.

The ability to fuse characters in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero is a cool mechanic, which gives you stronger moves and a new appearance that blends two heroes (or villains) together. You'll need to set up the right squad together, however, to be able to fuse, however.
How to Fuse
Before heading into battle, make sure you have the correct team composition for fusions. For example, if you want to see Goku and Vegeta's fusion transformations, you should have both Goku (Z - End) and Vegeta (Z - End) in your squad. You don't want to mix the wrong time periods; Vegeta (Z - Scouter) and Goku (Z - End) wouldn't work. An easier fusion to perform is Goten and Trunks (Kid) for Gotenks.
When you head into the arena, you'll need to first gather enough points on the Skill Count Bar. You'll increase the number by fighting, blocking attacks, and charging up your Ki. When you press Up on the D-Pad, you'll see the available transformations available to you. The number next to them tells you how much of a Skill Count you'll require to transform. You may need to switch tabs with the shoulder buttons to find the fusion you're looking for. For Gotenks, there are multiple versions, such as the regular fusion and their SS3 version. It doesn't matter what form either Trunks or Goten are when fusing with them.
Once you transform by pressing the correct button, the fusion will be permanent. You can't separate the characters once the action is done. This means you have one less member on your team. The fusion will be stronger, however, with a higher HP and slightly more strength. Hopefully, it will be worth it, losing a teammate. You can change the form of the fused character by holding Up on the D-Pad again.

Optional paths are easy to spot, but can be a challenge to start.
How to Change Characters
Thankfully, changing characters is fairly easy if you want to set up another fusion in your squad like Gogeta. Hold left on the D-Pad of your controller and then press the button associated with the character you want to switch to.
Before heading into battle, make sure you have the correct team composition for fusions. For example, if you want to see Goku and Vegeta's fusion transformations, you should have both Goku (Z - End) and Vegeta (Z - End) in your squad.
Fusing is not all that you can do with the Skill Count Bar. You can also use a neat counterattack that will stop combo strings. Press the right analog stick to perform the counter, and then it will cost 2 on the Skill Count Bar.
DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO is an arena fighter fifteen years in the making following DRAGON BALL Z: BUDOKAI TENKAICHI. The latest game is exclusive to the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC and runs on the Unreal Engine 5.

Walgreens to close 1,200 stores, likely including locations in NY, NJ, CT
Walgreens is preparing to close nearly 1,200 locations over the next three years as the drugstore chain works to recover from an estimated $3 billion quarterly loss.
In June, company leaders warned that they were finalizing a turnaround plan for their U.S. stores, which would result in hundreds of closures.
Walgreens earnings
On Tuesday, Walgreens announced that approximately 500 locations would close in the current fiscal year to improve cash flow. This plan also includes the 300 stores previously identified for closure in the last cost-cutting effort.
In a statement, Walgreens CEO Tim Wentworth emphasized that fiscal 2025, which began last month, will be a crucial "rebasing year" for the chain. "This turnaround will take time, but we are confident it will lead to significant financial and consumer benefits in the long run," he stated.
Walgreens has faced years of struggles due to tight reimbursement rates for prescriptions and rising operating costs, along with increased competition from online retailers like Amazon, as well as Walmart and Target.
Meanwhile, rival CVS Health is finishing a three-year plan to close 900 stores, while Rite Aid emerged from bankruptcy earlier this year after reducing its store count to around 1,300 locations.
Why is Walgreens closing?
At the beginning of the year, the company reduced the dividend paid to shareholders to generate more cash for business growth. In June, the drugstore chain further lowered its forecast for fiscal 2024.
The company says its mainly due to largely due to weaker performance in its U.S. retail and pharmacy sectors. The company also faced significant charges related to opioid litigation settlements from previous quarters and an equity investment in China.
Which Walgreens locations are closing?
The drugstore giant didn't say where the store closings would take place but it said all of the stores that were closing are located in the U.S.
Walgreens currently operates 8,500 stores in the U.S. and a few thousand overseas.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

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.
