The Author Racheal Cardiss
TOMAH, WI, UNITED STATES, October 15, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- Racheal Cardiss's novel, "Rock on by," is an evocative and beautifully crafted tale that delves into the life of Craig Winter, a fourth-generation carpenter raised on the historic 'Winter Forth'
Farm in Queensland. The
novel explores themes of legacy, love, and resilience through the lens of Craig's life as he navigates the joys and challenges of family, friendship, and personal growth.
Craig Winter, like his father Logan and generations before him, was brought up with the values of hard work and community. The sprawling farm located 100 kilometers north of Hillstem, with the railway running opposite and the nearby Kanelake station, forms the backdrop of Craig's world. Though never described as a place of magic, 'Winter Forth' holds deep sentimental value, with its beautiful scenery and an ancient boulder that serves as a quiet witness to the memories of those who cherish it. As the eldest son of Logan and Renee Parkes, Craig grows up learning the family trade, creating hand-made items like kitchen cupboards and rocking chairs from the wood of the estate. When he finally becomes a qualified carpenter, he eagerly joins his father on a work trip, where he encounters personal coordinator Helen McKenzie. From this moment, Craig knows his life will never be the same.
Throughout "Rock on by," readers are invited into Craig's world as he experiences life's highs and lows. From the deep friendship and business partnership with his neighbor, Russell Thompson, to the heartwarming bond with his family, the novel captures the essence of enduring relationships and the strength they provide in times of difficulty. Chapter by chapter, Cardiss takes readers on a journey through Craig's most intimate moments, allowing them to witness his personal evolution. And will come to understand just as Craig did“That no matter what befalls us in our lives, when you have special friends and family near you, you can face any problem.”

The Sporting News fantasy team is back with our fantasy football sleepers for Week 7. Caleb Williams, Chase Brown, and Tyrone Tracy highlighted this list in Week 6, and all three went on to have very strong performances. In the case of Williams and Tracy, these two rookies are looking like they'll have serious impacts on fantasy rosters down the stretch, and Tracy is back in the column again this week as well.
There's no time to dwell on the past as the fantasy season moves quickly, and we have to adapt as the weeks progress. Week 7 offers a brand new slate of games with matchups that we can look to exploit in fantasy football.
If you don't have time to dive into the outlook for each game, don't worry, we've got you covered. We dove head first into each matchup of the Week 7 slate to pinpoint which situations and matchups we should attack in fantasy football. Three of our fantasy analysts have identified a player at each position.
WEEK 7 FANTASY FOOTBALL RANKINGS
QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/ST | Kickers
Fantasy QB Sleepers for Week 7
Michael O'Hara: Bo Nix, Denver Broncos — Don't look now, but Bo Nix is the QB12 over the last month. He's really come on in the last month, averaging 17.7 PPG in his last four outings, including three games with 19-plus points. Nix's often underrated rushing ability has bolstered his fantasy production in these games. He's averaging 6 PPG from rushing production alone, and his willingness to scramble, especially around the goal line, makes him a realistic plug-and-play option.
Ed Williams: Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams — All things considered, Matthew Stafford has been pretty impressive this season. The stats alone don't tell the whole story, but factoring in he's been without his top-2 targets for essentially the entire season so far, his offensive line has been severely banged up, and his defense has been putting them in negative game scripts, he's made the most of what he has to work with. And now, coming out of the bye, Stafford could be getting Cooper Kupp back, and they face a Raiders defense that is just middle of the road overall (16th) and against the pass (15th).
Vinnie Iyer: Drake Maye, New England Patriots — If you are playing the streaming game, Maye's first rookie start and quick emergence as a passing and running stat compiler is timed very well for a great matchup in London vs. the Jaguars. Maye will be motivated to prove he's a surefire franchise guy with Mac Jones on the bench for the opponents. Maye's legs are a big bonus as he keeps this one of the most viable seasons for rookie QBs in fantasy. He also gets to pick apart a bad Jacksonville secondary that hemorrhages points.
WEEK 7 WAIVER WIRE ADVICE
Full waiver wire list | How to spend your FAAB | Top Players to Target
Fantasy RB Sleepers for Week 7
O'Hara: Tank Bigsby, Jacksonville Jaguars — Travis Etienne is officially week-to-week with a hamstring injury, meaning we could see a two-headed "monster" of Tank Bigsby and D'Ernest Johnson in Week 7. In a matchup against the Patriots, this should be a game script that favors Bigsby as the early-down rusher. Bigsby has already shown that he can be efficient and effective with his touches; an increased workload further elevates his fantasy outlook.
Williams: Tyrone Tracy Jr., New York Giants — There's a good chance that Devin Singletary is able to make it back for this week's NFC East showdown against the Eagles, but it's hard to believe that Tracy is going to just fade away into the background after a very impressive couple of weeks in the starting role. He's been especially effective in the passing game. In fact, Tracy was a wide receiver in college before converting to running back when he transferred to Purdue. Even if Singletary reclaims the "starting role", this is likely to become a 1A and 1B scenario. This could end up being pretty similar to another NFC East team in the Commanders who have both Brian Robinson and Austin Ekeler.
Iyer: Alexander Mattison, Las Vegas Raiders — Zamir White is hurt. Ameer Abdullah is bad near the goal line. Mattison should get the key work again with a great shot to get back into the end zone on the Rams' awful run defense in Week 7. Mattison has been a solid Flex RB this season, but here he can put up his third game of RB2 numbers while Kyren Williams goes off on the ground for the home team.
Fantasy WR Sleepers for Week 7
O'Hara: JuJu Smith-Schuster, Kansas City Chiefs — It appears that the Kansas City Chiefs are attempting to recreate Rashee Rice by morphing Travis Kelce and JuJu Smith-Schuster into a dominant underneath weapon. In the Chiefs' first full game without Rice, Smith-Schuster drew a target on 31 percent of his routes, was second on the team in targets, and led the team in receiving yards. The modern Chiefs offense revolves around high-percentage, underneath looks that put receivers in a spot to generate YAC. Along with Kelce, Smith-Schuster seems to be one of the beneficiaries of this offensive approach.
Williams: Ladd McConkey, Los Angeles Chargers — Don't look now, but the Chargers came out of the bye week slinging the ball more than usual and against one of the league's better pass defenses. Herbert, who finally got to rest his injured ankle over the bye week, looked healthier and unleashed 34 throws against the Broncos. That's seven more than his previous high of 27 attempts, and 11 more than what he was averaging over his first four games. This week they get the Arizona Cardinals who are 25th in overall defense and 17th in passing defense. This isn't going to turn into a hugely pass heavy offense with Jim Harbaugh calling the shots, but with Herbert healthier and with a weak defensive opponent, I expect top target Ladd McConkey to have a nice day. He's been averaging 7 targets per game over the last three games, and that's more than enough for a productive day against Arizona.
Iyer: Jordan Addison, Minnesota Vikings — Addison should be busy with significant volume against the Lions' weak secondary, playing off Justin Jefferson. The Jets were a tough draw before the bye, but he should get key targets again from Sam Darnold to help his team trying to keep up with high-flying Detroit. Addison should take advantage of his single coverage for solid execution through 8-10 looks.

Fantasy TE Sleepers for Week 7
O'Hara: Zach Ertz, Washington Commanders — If your roster doesn't have a reliable tight end and you're looking for an option to just keep your team afloat, look no further than Zach Ertz. The veteran has now cleared seven PPR points in four of six games on the year and has seen five-plus targets three times in the last month. He's not going to win you weeks, but he's the primary pass-catching tight end in Washington and should do enough to keep your team on the path to success.
Williams: Cade Otton, Tampa Bay Buccaneers — While the upper echelon of tight ends have started to stabilize and start producing, it's still pretty dicey in that second tier of tight ends. But Cade Otton continues to see promising usage with the Bucs. Over the last four games, he's averaged 6.7 targets, and he finally converted a touchdown last week as well. And this week they get the Ravens who are 5th worst against tight ends so far this season.
Iyer: Jonnu Smith, Miami Dolphins — Jake Ferguson and Cole Kmet are both on byes, so if a manager of either would need a 1-week replacement off the wire, Smith should come through with solid play. Before the bye, he caught 5-of-8 targets for 62 yards against the Patriots, saying he should be more involved in the offense with QBs struggling to push the ball downfield to wide receivers.
Fantasy Defense Sleepers Week 7
O'Hara: Cincinnati Bengals — After giving up just seven points to Daniel Jones and the Giants, the Bengals' defense proved to be capable of containing an offense with lacking quarterback talent. They'll be in a similar situation against the Browns in Week 7. Deshaun Watson is simply not an NFL-caliber quarterback anymore and Cleveland has failed to reach 20 points in six straight games. Cincinnati is in a spot to keep that streak alive this week.
Williams: Philadelphia Eagles — The Eagles have had the Giants' number over the last several years, but last year's blowout last at the end of the season amidst Philly's epic collapse is probably what stands out most in fantasy managers' minds. Granted it was against Deshaun Watson, but the Eagles' defense looked much better coming out of the bye. The Philly defense didn't allow a touchdown, and they picked up five sacks (they only had nine coming into the game). Rookie Quinyon Mitchell has been great in coverage so far, and fellow rookie Cooper Dejean emerged from the bye as the starting nickel corner, and made an impact all over the field through blitzing, sound tackling, and punt returning.
Iyer: Washington Commanders — They are back in the streaming conversation after the obvious 1-week respite from fantasy lineups because of the Ravens matchup. Now they draw the Panthers at home, where they have been strongest all-around and will be in position to rack up sacks and interceptions off a trailing Andy Dalton.

Deterrent measures need to be taken if Israel is disregarding the global community and undermining international legitimacy, Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi on Tuesday.
Addressing a joint news conference with his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan in Ankara, Safadi said the only way to deter Israel, which continues air and ground attacks into Lebanon, while also conducting strikes in Gaza, is to impose sanctions on Israel and stop supplying it with weapons.
He said using starvation as a weapon of war is a war crime, adding that Israel has not only destroyed schools, hospitals, mosques and churches, but has also destroyed the entire infrastructure, turning Gaza into an uninhabitable land.
Safadi said another war waged by Israel against the Palestinian people was in the West Bank through killing, targeting, settlement and destruction.
He lamented that the Security Council was not playing its role in maintaining security and peace.
The Jordanian diplomat also attended the Conference on the Future of Palestine organized by Türkiye.

Injuries are mounting and fantasy managers are now having to navigate bye weeks, making it increasingly difficult to put together a respectable fantasy lineup. If you're looking to give your lineup some stability to get through the week, the waiver wire may have your answer.
Be sure to check out our full waivers list to see where we stand on some of the potentially "trendy" names like Ty Chandler, Sean Tucker, and Michael Wilson. There are plenty of players who you may want to consider filing a low waiver claim for, but many are better suited to be picked up as free agents.
This week's group of "top pickups" are all worthy of a waiver claim and should not be allowed to slip into free agency. Managers could also justify using a sizeable portion of their FAAB budget on these players. If you land one of these players, they could make an immediate impact on your roster.

Top fantasy football waiver wire pickups for Week 7
Roster percentages reflective of Yahoo leagues
DeMario Douglas, WR, New England Patriots (7% Rostered)
Drake Maye showed an early connection with New England's go-to slot receiver. DeMario Douglas led Patriots receivers with nine targets, six receptions, 92 yards, and a trip to the end zone. He's leading the race to become Maye's No. 1 target, and if Maye can turn this offense around, Douglas can be a legitimate fantasy option in a high-volume role.
Isaac Guerendo, RB, San Francisco 49ers (4% Rostered)
49ers starting running back Jordan Mason suffered an AC Joint sprain on Thursday Night Football last week and is considered day-to-day. If he is forced to miss any time, Isaac Guerendo is the next man up on the depth chart. He already proved that he fits like a glove in Kyle Shanahan's rushing scheme. Guerendo racked up 99 yards on 10 carries last week, including a 76-yard scamper. He'll contend for an RB1 ranking in Week 7 if he becomes the starter.
WEEK 7 FANTASY FOOTBALL RANKINGS
QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/ST | Kickers
JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, Kansas City Chiefs (33% Rostered)
With Rashee Rice no longer in the picture, the Chiefs were forced to give the shallow targets to someone else in this offense. It appears that they'll be attempting to recreate Rice's production through two players - Travis Kelce and JuJu Smith-Schuster. In the first game without Rice, the duo combined for 18 targets and 200 receiving yards. Smith-Schuster is well worth a bench stash (or even a Flex start) while keeping tabs on whether or not he maintains a high-volume role. Regardless of your previous thoughts on Smith-Schuster, 6-8 targets per game in a Mahomes-Reid offense is well worth the pickup.
Josh Downs, WR, Indianapolis Colts (48% Rostered)
It's shocking that Josh Downs is still available in over half of Yahoo leagues. What does he have to do to be rostered at a higher rate... score 15-plus points in three straight weeks? Well, he's done that in his last three games. Downs put on another clinic out of the slot, dominating the target share market (10 total targets) on his way to 19.5 PPR points. Downs is one of the most crisp route runners in the NFL, and it's impossible for quarterbacks to ignore him when he is consistently beating defenders. He's a must-add if he's still available in your league.

Davante Adams has been traded to the Jets and fans are again set to watch the connection between him and QB Aaron Rodgers, who were teammates for eight seasons with the Packers.
And while Adams and Rodgers are reunited, things will look different this time around. The duo will be in a different shade of green and wearing different numbers from their Green Bay days.
Photoshops of Adams wearing No. 17 are quickly circulating but it appears he will not be able to don his signature number in New York. As Adams moves on to the third team of his 11-year NFL career, he may need to switch numbers for the first time.
What number will Adams wear as a Jet? Here is why his go-to number may be unavailable and what he may elect to do as a result.
MORE: Why Raiders traded Davante Adams | Will Adams play Week 7? | Adams trade grades
Can Davante Adams wear No. 17 with the Jets?
As it stands, No. 17 is unavailable with the Jets because it belongs to rookie WR Malachi Corley.
Corley, a third-round pick in 2024, has one catch for four yards this season. There is no precedent of midseason number changes in the NFL, meaning Corley will likely keep No. 17 through the 2024 season and Adams will need to switch numbers.
NFL HQ: Live NFL scores | Updated NFL standings | Full NFL schedule
What number will Davante Adams wear with the Jets?
It is unclear what number Adams will wear with New York. During his standout career at Fresno State, Adams wore No. 15, which is currently available.
No. 15 may be the best choice for Adams, as his NFL and high school numbers are also taken.
Adams wore No. 10 in high school, but that number is currently worn by Allen Lazard, another former Packer teammate Adams will reunite with in New York. No. 4, Adams' high school basketball number, is currently worn by Jets CB D.J. Reed.
A number change could be the best way to usher in a new chapter for Adams. Rodgers, who famously wore No. 12 throughout his time in Green Bay, switched to No. 8 in New York because 12 is retired for Joe Namath. Despite receiving Namath's blessing to wear the retired number, Rodgers stuck with No. 8.
In a new location, the all-too-familiar Adams-Rodgers connection stands to look different in more ways than one.

Kamran Ghulam, becoming the 257th cricketer to represent Pakistan in Test cricket, marked his debut spectacularly with a commanding century on the opening day of the second Test match against England. Pakistan closed the day with a total of 259-5 after 90 overs at the Multan Cricket Stadium on Tuesday.
Ghulam, who came to the crease with Pakistan reeling at 19-2, crafted a brilliant 118 off 224 deliveries, including 11 boundaries and a six. His innings, which steadied Pakistan’s early struggles, came to an end in the 85th over, bowled by Shoaib Bashir.
Ghulam's key partnership came alongside Saim Ayub, who contributed a solid 77 from 160 balls, including seven fours. Together, the pair stitched a crucial 149-run stand for the third wicket, pulling Pakistan out of early trouble. Ayub, however, was dismissed in the 56th over by Matthew Potts, caught by Ben Stokes at short mid-off with the score at 168-3.
Earlier in the day, Pakistan won the toss and chose to bat first. England’s Jack Leach struck early, removing Abdullah Shafique for a laborious seven off 28 balls in the eighth over. He followed it up by dismissing Shan Masood for just three runs in the next over, caught at short midwicket by Zak Crawley.
By lunch, Pakistan had recovered somewhat, reaching 79-2, with Ghulam and Ayub having already put on a 50-run partnership. Saim Ayub later reached his third Test half-century before falling just before the tea break, leaving Pakistan at 168-3.
In the final session, England’s Brydon Carse claimed the wicket of Saud Shakeel (4) in the 61st over, leaving Pakistan at 178-4. Mohammad Rizwan (37* off 89 balls) then joined Ghulam at the crease, and the two built a gritty 65-run partnership, stabilizing Pakistan’s innings.
During this stand, Ghulam achieved a milestone, becoming the 13th Pakistani player to score a century on Test debut, and the sixth to do so while batting at No. 4. He reached the mark by hitting Joe Root to midwicket for a boundary in the 74th over.
Ghulam’s superb innings finally ended in the 85th over when Bashir bowled him with Pakistan at 243-5. Salman Ali Agha (5* off 19 balls) and Rizwan saw Pakistan through to stumps, finishing the day at 259-5.
SCORES IN BRIEF: DAY 1: PAKISTAN 259-5, 90 overs (Kamran Ghulam 118, Saim Ayub 77, Mohammad Rizwan 37*; Jack Leach 2-92) vs ENGLAND.

Stephanie Lind, fouder of Elohi Strategic Advisors
Lind will serve as a member of the Council at large and of both the Taxation and Economic Development Committees
Joining NSBA's Leadership Council will enable me to advocate for a seat at the table for the 1.1 million women business owners in America and improve representation across demographic groups” - Stephanie Lind, founder of Elohi Strategic AdvisorsELGIN, IL, UNITED STATES, October 15, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- The National Small Business Association (NSBA) recently named Elohi Strategic Advisors Founder Stephanie Lind to its Leadership Council.
NSBA is the nation's oldest small business advocacy organization and operates on a staunchly nonpartisan basis.
Stephanie Lind, a recognized leader in the small-business community, joins the NSBA Leadership Council alongside other small-business advocates from across the country as they work to promote the interests of small business to policymakers in Washington, D.C.
“As a small-business owner, I see daily the importance of being involved and active when it comes to laws and regulation,” stated Lind.“Joining NSBA's Leadership Council will enable me to take our collective small-business message to the people that need to hear it most: Congress. It will also allow me to advocate for a seat at the table for the 1.1 million women business owners in America, as we work to grow that number and improve representation across demographic groups.”
Lind joined the NSBA Leadership Council as part of her efforts to tackle the many critical issues facing small business, including tax reform, regulatory restraint, health care costs and the ways the Affordable Care Act will impact small business.

(MENAFN- The Conversation)
Mozambique ranks in the of the human development index . This measures a country's progress based on key dimensions such as a long and healthy life and a decent standard of living. Nearly two-thirds of Mozambicans – 18.9 million people – live below the national poverty line of US$0.70-a-day .
The country also struggles to finance public spending, consistently running state budget deficits . At the same time it also fails to spend all the money that's been budgeted.
Mozambique's frequent budget deficits are no surprise. The country has a rapidly growing population , increasing needs of the poor populations , dilapidated infrastructure , and very limited revenue generation .
In a recent study on budget credibility in Mozambique we explored how the government's challenges in meeting its revenue and expenditure targets harm the overall economy. And we suggest solutions.
Our study focused on public expenditures on the social sector. This included education, health, social protection and public works (which includes water and sanitation). All are vital for human capital generation and poverty reduction. The social sector accounts for 40% of budgeted expenditure . Education is the largest at about 20% of the overall pie.
Our study introduces – and successfully tests – a simple method that can be easily applied by budget oversight entities. This includes the parliament budget oversight unit and the accounts court. It can also be applied by planning units within ministries, especially the ministry of finance. Finally, it can be used by civil society budget watchdogs, as it relies on public information.
Adopting it will provide tools to improve budget management in turn leading to more credible budget execution.
Assessing public financial management
The Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability programme was initiated in 2001 by the European Commission, International Monetary Fund, World Bank, and the governments of France, Norway, Switzerland and the UK. The aim was is to improve fiscal outcomes. It has conducted 533 assessments in 155 countries, including 47 countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Ten assessments have been completed in Mozambique.
The programme defines budget credibility as the extent to which the government's budget is realistic and implemented as intended. A credible budget reassures a range of stakeholders on the predictability of public expenditure and services. This includes taxpayers, donors and lenders, the firms that supply the government, public workers and the recipients of public services.
The credibility question
To measure the credibility of the budget in Mozambique, we used publicly available state budget data. We looked at both planned spending and actual execution.
In its previous assessments, the Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability programme had identified several weaknesses. These included deviations, sector-specific variability, revenue shortfalls and mid-year budget adjustments.
However, these insights didn't explore the origins of the underlying budget discrepancies. The assessments therefore didn't allow for in-depth insights.
In our study , we further analysed the credibility of the budget measured along expenditure types and the fiscal year.
Our findings revealed consistent under-execution of budgeted expenditures. This was the case even in years with sufficient revenue. Significant disparities existed along sectors. For example, education and health showed relatively credible budgets compared to public works, social protection and overall non-social expenditures.
A comparison between types of expenditure showed interesting patterns. An example is the investment expenditures in social sectors (such as schools, health facilities, water, and sanitation). These were primarily externally funded, showed higher volatility and lower credibility than current expenditures. Current expenditures include teachers' payments and, more generally, overall salaries.
We also found a strong indication of resource reallocation outside of regular budgetary rules. For example, we found a suggestion that resources initially allocated for investments were redirected to fund current expenditures.
Finally, we found no strong evidence that mid-fiscal year budget adjustments improved reliability. This was in line with Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability reports.
Causes and potential solutions
The Government of Mozambique's State Budget Account attributes budget inconsistencies to two main factors.
On one hand, slower economic growth and inefficient tax collection lead to revenue shortfalls. On the other, there were expenditure overruns due to a range of developments. These included natural disasters, health shocks (such as COVID-19), inflation, exchange rate fluctuations and delays in donor disbursements. Administrative and logistical issues that delayed projects also played a role.
The government has taken steps to mitigate these vulnerabilities. These include:
establishing a reserve fund under the new sovereign fund
increasing tax collection
it has initiated VAT reform. This was suggested by the IMF .
These efforts are coupled with measures to address expenditure overruns. These include improving transparency and accountability in public budgets. They also include efforts to limit the overall public sector wage expenditure.
Our study recommends additional strategies to boost budget credibility:
Sectoral focus : enhance expenditure targeting in social sectors. This includes education, health, social protection and social work. And improve related budgeting processes
Enhanced investment management : strengthen oversight mechanisms for externally financed projects. The aim would be to reduce fund diversion to unplanned purposes. And better alignment with long term development goals
Budget adjustments reassessment : focus mid-fiscal-year budget adjustments on strategic reallocation rather than ad-hoc adjustments
Improved monitoring : implement a system that enables the Ministry of Economy and Finance to identify areas for improvement, potential quick wins and best practices
Budget credibility is crucial for Mozambique's economic development and public trust. Effective budget management ensures transparency, predictability, and accountability. All are essential for sustainable growth.
This is an modified version of a blog, Budget credibility in Mozambique – challenges and solutions , originally published by UNU-WIDER.
An extended discussion of the topics covered in the blog, Understanding Mozambique's budget credibility issues and solutions , was published by the International Growth Centre (IGC).

Following a Week 6 win over the Raiders, the Steelers are 4-2 behind QB Justin Fields and are seemingly in contention for the AFC North title.
However, despite that early-season success, Pittsburgh may be making a change at quarterback.
Russell Wilson came into 2024 projected as the favorite to start over Fields in a talented quarterback room, even earning the starting nod from head coach Mike Tomlin before Week 1. He's been sidelined since then, though, which has given Fields an opportunity to lead the team's offense.
With reports on Tuesday that threw another twist into the Steelers' quarterback controversy, here are the latest updates on which quarterback, Wilson or Fields, will start in Week 7 against the Jets, plus a look at Fields' numbers this season and what kept Wilson inactive until to this point.
MORE: NFL Week 7 power rankings
Who is the Steelers' starting quarterback this week?
The Jets could be showcasing a new-look offense with Davante Adams in the fold on "Sunday Night Football" — and their opponent's offense could look different as well.
Fields has started in all six games so far, but NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported Tuesday that the Steelers plan to give Wilson first-team reps this week at practice, which would be "putting him in line" to make his Pittsburgh debut on Sunday.
Sources: The #Steelers plan to give Russell Wilson first-team reps in practice this week, putting him in line to make his season debut and start Sunday night against the #Jets.

Pittsburgh is 4-2 with Justin Fields. But Wilson’s calf is fully healed and now he gets his shot. pic.twitter.com/vrhgo7LfgO
ESPN's Adam Schefter also reported that Tomlin said Wilson is "in consideration" to start against the Jets. Nothing is official on who the Steelers will start on Sunday yet, but Wilson being healthy has made things much more interesting.
Given the team's 4-2 start under Fields, some figured they'd stick by the former Bear as the starter until he gave them a reason not to. Pittsburgh is tied with Baltimore in the AFC North standings, and the team's performance behind Fields has been strong enough to continue vying for a playoff spot.
Instead, Wilson is being given a second shot at the job after originally being named the starter. It's a unique scenario in Pittsburgh, as both Fields and Wilson had extensive starting experience before joining the team. Since signing Wilson in free agency and trading for Fields, the Steelers have had a quarterback competition on their hands.
There isn't yet full clarity on whether it will be Wilson or Fields throwing passes against New York in Week 7, but as Wilson earns first-team reps at practice, he could reclaim his top spot over Fields on the team's depth chart.

QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/ST | Kickers
Justin Fields stats
Through six games, Fields has the highest completion percentage (66.3 percent) and rating (93.9) of his career so far.
After three years with the Bears before the team moved on to Caleb Williams, Fields has been more efficient than ever — part of the reason for Pittsburgh's winning record so far.
Here's a look at Fields' game-by-game and totals in 2024:

What happened to Russell Wilson?
Tomlin announced before the 2024 season that Wilson would be the team's Week 1 starter at quarterback, but shortly after, the former Seahawk and Bronco went down with an injury.
Wilson aggravated a calf injury before the season began. Schefter reported at the time that the quarterback told his team he could play, but instead, he was inactive for that matchup and wound up sitting out for the following five games as well.
Wilson has been recovering from that calf issue since then, and the team has been cautious about his return timeline until this point. But now that he's seemingly healthy enough to return to the field in Week 7, there's a chance that Wilson trots out as Pittsburgh's QB1 against the Jets on Sunday night.

Türkiye's president on Tuesday asked how the UN can defend the rights of others amid Israel's attacks on UN peacekeepers in Lebanon, when it is unable to protect the rights of its own personnel.
"We have followed with embarrassment as the UN Security Council and international organizations have been completely powerless in the face of Israel's impudence," Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said at the Global Diplomacy and Future of Palestine conference in Ankara.
"How much longer will the UN Security Council stand by and watch our region turn into a sea of blood, with civilians in Gaza being burned alive?" he said.
"Unable to break the hands reaching out to a soldier wearing a blue helmet with 'UN' written on it, how will the UN prevent the dirty hands reaching out to the people of Gaza and Lebanon?," Erdoğan asked.
"We witnessed how the human rights organizations and global media outlets play the role of three monkeys when it comes to the rights of innocent children killed in Gaza," he added.
Erdoğan also said that Palestinians have been enduring this oppression for decades while Israel has perpetuated its policies of occupation, destruction and execution uninterrupted for 76 years.
"We can predict where this expansionism will lead if Israel, which is becoming increasingly arrogant and aggressive, is not stopped," he added.
"After Gaza, Israel's genocidal policies are now extending to Lebanon and have served as an opportunity for humanity to recognize the true face of Zionism," said the Turkish president.
"In this process, we have all closely witnessed how the Zionist lobby controls global powers and the system, how it exerts pressure on the economy, trade, media, the film industry, all branches of art, academia, universities, and even the state, military, and civil bureaucracy in some countries."
Israel killed with bombs the people whose lives they could not take by leaving them hungry, thirsty, without food, medicine, doctors and hospitals since Oct. 7, 2023, he said.
Despite great suffering, this process will result in establishment of the Palestinian state based on 1967 borders, he added.
International community and the Islamic world must do more to deliver more humanitarian aid to Gaza before winter, he said.
In Gaza and Lebanon, not only children, women, elderly, and civilians are dying, but the conscience of humanity is also dying, he added.
"Türkiye is the only state that has shown strongest reaction to the massacre in Gaza, and has taken concrete measures against Israel," the president said.
"Despite all challenges, we stand firmly with the Palestinian people who heroically defend their homeland, and we will continue to do so," Erdoğan said.
"Türkiye is the country that has delivered the most humanitarian aid to Gaza, with over 84,000 tons of assistance," he said, adding: "We will remain unwavering in struggle until an independent and sovereign Palestinian state is established based on 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital."
Erdoğan stressed that Israel, which has continuously expanded its occupation since the Nakba, has now seized 85% of the 27.000 square km of Palestinian territory.
"Since then, Israel has made Palestinians refugees in their homeland and forced millions of Palestinians to migrate from their homes and homeland," he added.
He added that the number of Palestinians exiled during the Nakba alone is nearly 1 million.
"Today, there are more than 6 million Palestinian refugees around the world, a significant portion of whom are in Jordan, longing to return to their homes and are even keeping the keys to the homes they were forced out of."
With the construction of the separation wall in 2002, Israel has institutionalized the apartheid regime in the Palestinian territories, said the Turkish president.
"Millions of Palestinians living in the West Bank are no longer able to travel to many areas of Palestinian territory, including Jerusalem, because of the separation wall," Erdoğan said.
Before Oct. 7, Gaza had already been under blockade for 17 years, and over 2 million Gazans were condemned to live in an open-air prison for 17 years, he added.
"In fact, the Palestinian people were not the only victims of Israel's racist and fascist policies. Jews of different backgrounds, especially Jews of African descent, also face apartheid practices," the president noted.
By attacking Lebanon, Israel demonstrated it will not be satisfied with occupying Gaza, Erdoğan said.
"Netanyahu's Cabinet members are revealing their true intentions, where their eyes are set, and how far they wish to extend their occupation policies with every new statement they make," he maintained.
Erdoğan said that they sincerely support every effort made to hold war and genocide criminals accountable, reminding that they submitted an application to intervene in the genocide case opened by South Africa at the International Court of Justice on Aug. 7.
Stating that civil society organizations continue to present files and evidence to the court, Erdoğan emphasized that they are doing everything possible and will continue to do so to ensure that the genocidal criminals are held accountable under international law.
"Our nation is reacting to the massacre with boycotts and protests. We stand and will stand firmly with the Palestinian people who heroically defend their homeland despite all odds," he said.
Israel has mounted massive airstrikes across Lebanon against what it claims are Hezbollah targets since Sept. 23, killing at least 1,542 people, injuring over 4,555 others, and displacing more than 1.34 million people. It also began a ground invasion earlier this month.
The campaign is an escalation from a year of cross-border warfare between Israel and Hezbollah since the start of its offensive on the Gaza Strip, in which Israel has killed more than 42,000 people, most of them women and children, since a Hamas attack last year.

GUADALAJARA, Mexico -- As he sits fiddling with the strings on his hoodie in the Guadalajara sun, Malik Tillman's voice hardly rises. He's calm, as he always is. The 22-year-old midfielder rarely shows emotion. No matter the situation, Tillman remains stoic, reserved and, to be honest, just a little bit shy.
His voice may not rise often but, for a split second, a burst of passion comes out. That's because he has a confession to make: he knows what people think of him.
Tillman is naturally quiet, but he has become very aware of what his shyness portrays. He knows how it's perceived when he doesn't bat an eye, yell or react when things don't go his way or, more importantly, his team's way. He knows that there's a segment of U.S. men's national team fans that see him walking off the field emotionless and wonder one thing: why doesn't he feel this as much as we do?
From the outside, it may look like he doesn't care. Tillman sees that, feels that and understands that, but he's also determined to set the record straight.
Malik Tillman does, in fact, care, perhaps more than even those closest to him realize.
"Some people say I'm not interested in the game just from the way I look," Tillman tells GOAL, "but it really is more or less the other way around. That's just how I express myself. I'm a chill guy, and that's also me on the pitch. I might seem relaxed or seem like I don't care, but it really is the other way around.
"I mean, this is just how I am. This? This is how I can be the best I can be."
Tillman is reaching a point where the USMNT will need him to be at his best. With new coach Mauricio Pochettino leading the charge, there are big expectations now being placed on Tillman's shoulders, including from the coach himself. On the club level with PSV, Tillman is the best he's ever been. He's third in the Eredivisie with four goals and he leads the Dutch league in chances created with 21. The goal of being at the 2026 World Cup is in sight, particularly if he continues on the path he's currently on.
Tillman doesn't talk about his goals much. In fact, he doesn't talk about anything much. He generally keeps to himself, both on the field and off of it. Don't mistake his shyness for meekness, though. As he looks to make his mark and seize opportunities for club and country, he has one more message to send:
"As soon as the game comes, for me, I'm not afraid of anyone," he insists.

(MENAFN- EIN Presswire)
FFSF is leading the effort to support litigation by the states to enforce their equal power under Article V of the U.S. constitution to propose a fiscal responsibility amendment.
Hon. David M. Walker - Former U.S. Comptroller General
Federal Fiscal Sustainability Foundation Launches Website Highlighting Litigation Efforts to Enforce States' Rights to Propose a Fiscal Responsibility Amendment
Regular legislation has thus far proven ineffective in solving the nation's growing debt problem. A Constitutional amendment is the only long-term solution to enforce fiscal discipline.” - David WalkerWASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, October 15, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- The Federal Fiscal Sustainability Foundation (FFSF) is pleased to announce the launch of its new website, , designed to provide comprehensive information on the urgent need to restore fiscal responsibility and sustainability in the United States. The website serves as a resource hub for those interested in understanding the litigation being considered by state attorneys general and legislatures to enforce states' rights under Article V of the U.S. Constitution to propose a fiscal responsibility amendment.
With the nation's debt and deficit levels rising to unsustainable levels due to Congress's short-term focus driven by election cycles, the FFSF's new platform outlines why this litigation is the most timely and viable path to addressing the nation's fiscal crisis before we face a global debt crisis. The site features a detailed summary of potential litigation, scholarly articles, legal precedents, and more, emphasizing the importance of states exercising their constitutional authority.
“Since regular legislation has thus far proven ineffective in solving the nation's growing debt problem-because one Congress cannot bind the next-a constitutional amendment is the only long-term solution to enforce fiscal discipline,” said David Walker, Chair of the FFSF Board.“The Constitution empowers states to call a convention to propose such an amendment, and the necessary number of states have already applied. If Congress fails to fulfill its duty, states must enforce their rights, and citizens should advocate for this essential action.”
The new site highlights key points, including:
.A Growing Crisis: The United States faces a severe fiscal crisis due to unsustainable deficit and debt levels driven by short-term political priorities. Without immediate and decisive action, the nation risks severe economic consequences that would be felt around the globe.
.The Constitutional Solution: The FFSF advocates for a fiscal responsibility amendment as the only effective long-term solution. The Constitution grants the states power to call a convention to propose amendments when Congress fails to act, and more than two-thirds of states have already applied to limit federal spending through this process.
.Litigation Overview: As of 1979, enough states had applied to require Congress to call a convention. Congress's failure to act violates its“shall call” obligation under Article V, necessitating litigation by the states to restore their constitutional power and prevent further fiscal irresponsibility.
The FFSF supports both statutory and constitutional measures to limit federal spending and debt, with a particular focus on enforcing states' equal power under the Constitution to propose a fiscal responsibility amendment. Without this litigation, Congress risks nullifying states' authority under Article V, leaving the nation vulnerable to a fiscal crisis with far-reaching consequences.
For more information and to explore the resources available, visit . Citizens are encouraged to support FFSF's efforts and engage with their state and congressional representatives to advocate for this critical constitutional process and help secure the nation's financial future.
About the Federal Fiscal Sustainability Foundation
The Federal Fiscal Sustainability Foundation (FFSF) is dedicated to advocating for fiscal responsibility through statutory and constitutional solutions. FFSF supports state-led efforts to propose a fiscal responsibility amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ensuring long-term solutions to the nation's debt crisis. States need to pursue their rights under Article V and hold Congress accountable for failure to discharge its constitutional duty. The FFSF urges other states to join this effort and for citizens to encourage the Congress to hold a hearing on this matter this calendar year.

When coaches change teams in the NFL, it isn't uncommon for their former players to follow them either through free agency or by requesting a trade. Rarely, though, does it happen when a player changes teams.
But few players have the same pull that Future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers has. When Rodgers was traded to the New York Jets ahead of the 2023 NFL Draft, it started a pipeline of players heading from Wisconsin to New York.
Following the trade of Davante Adams to New York, let's look at all the players who once donned the Green and Gold, but now call the Jets home.
NFL HQ: Live NFL scores | Updated NFL standings | Full NFL schedule
Former Packers on Jets roster?
What's the old phrase? "Once is by chance, twice is a coincidence, and three times is a pattern." Players change teams every year in the NFL, but it is worth looking at when a handful of players all end up in the same place. The catalyst for the pipeline between Green Bay and New York was the acquisition of Rodgers. While the veteran certainly has sway, how many players he convinced to join the Jets was surprising.
The Jets clearly wanted to bring in players who would allow Rodgers to feel more comfortable with his new team. It wasn't like they overhauled the roster, but bringing in depth pieces that he was familiar with was certainly more beneficial for Rodgers.
2023 Jets roster
The first year that Rodgers was with the Jets saw the biggest influx of former Packers to the Jets. Veteran wide receiver Randall Cobb was expected to play a solid depth role, but with Rodgers' injury, that didn't happen. He played in 11 games but only had five receptions for 39 yards and a touchdown. There was talk about New York going after veteran offensive tackle David Bakhtiari, but he remained with Green Bay in 2023, was released in 2024 and was never brought in by the Jets.
Players who were on the Packers with Rodgers that ended up with the Jets in 2023 included:
- WR Allen Lazard
- WR Randall Cobb
- WR Malik Taylor
- Backup QB Tim Boyle
- FS Adrian Amos
- C Jake Hanson
- T Dennis Kelly
- T Billy Turner
MORE: Why Raiders traded Davante Adams | Will Adams play Week 7? | Adams trade grades
Jets 2024 depth chart
- QB Aaron Rodgers
- RB Breece Hall
- RB Braelon Allen
- WR Garrett Wilson
- WR Davante Adams (played with Rodgers in GB 2014-2021)
- WR Allen Lazard (played with Rodgers in GB 2018-2022)
- WR Mike Williams
- TE Tyler Conklin
With the addition of Davante Adams, the Jets depth chart of offensive skill players looks like one of the best in the league. Rodgers' career is winding down, but this roster could help him finish strong. Despite being a rookie, Allen has shown to be a great complement to Hall in one of the better running back duos in the league.
Adams will help elevate the pass-catchers for Rodgers. Wilson is one of the best young wide receivers in the league, and Lazard has a history with Rodgers, who has leaned on him so far in 2024. Williams will move down the depth chart, but when you look at WR4s around the NFL, he is easily the best. Rodgers has been known to lean on his tight end, but with how bad the New York offensive line is, Tyler Conklin hasn't built as much rapport with his quarterback and has been called on to block more.
Packers 2020 roster
Six members of the Packers 2020 roster have played for the Jets since Rodgers was acquired in 2023.
- QB Aaron Rodgers
- WR Davante Adams
- WR Allen Lazard
- WR Malik Taylor (currently on IR with Jets)
- FS Adrian Amos (free agent)
- QB Tim Boyle (Miami Dolphins)
Rodgers won his third career MVP Award in 2020 and followed it up with another in 2021. He relied on Adams as his primary receiver, who finished with 1,374 yards and 18 touchdowns. Lazard only played in 10 games that season but finished with 451 yards and three touchdowns. Taylor was also just a rookie, but played in 15 games and had 66 yards and a touchdown.
Amos started every game for the Packers in 2010, and racked up 83 tackles, 2 interceptions and 2 sacks. Boyle barely played as a backup to Rodgers.
While Cobb and Rodgers spent a lot of time together in Green Bay, Cobb was a member of the Texans during the 2020 NFL season.

England fast bowler Matthew Potts praised his team's strategy in breaking key partnerships, emphasizing that their plan was executed with precision.
Addressing a press conference on Tuesday, Potts acknowledged the challenges England faced on the field but expressed satisfaction with the eventual breakthrough. "We gave it everything as fast bowlers, but it was a real struggle to break those partnerships," Potts said. "Today was tough, but the effort paid off."
Reflecting on his past bowling experiences in the subcontinent, Potts highlighted the unique challenges in Multan. "I’ve bowled in India before, but the heat in Multan was something else,” he noted. Despite the heat, Potts believed the pitch still had plenty to offer for seamers.
"I had in-depth discussions with James Anderson about the conditions, and we both felt there was enough in the pitch for us," the pacer explained. "A long partnership can swing the game, but overall, the bowling felt good," he added.
Potts stressed the critical role of breaking partnerships in changing the course of a match. “As a bowler, it’s vital to disrupt key partnerships, and we’re glad we were able to do that. Coming in with a solid plan and seeing it executed is always rewarding."
He also addressed a pivotal moment in the game when Mohammad Rizwan was caught. "The catch off Rizwan felt clear to me, even though the keeper and slip didn’t pick it up immediately. Breaking that partnership was crucial for us."
Despite the challenging conditions, Potts remained positive about his bowling performance and England’s overall standing in the match. "It was a tough day, but I’m pleased with how we handled it, and I’m optimistic about where we are in the game," he concluded.

The U.S. has demanded that Israel improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza within 30 days, about a week after the Nov. 5 presidential election, or risk an American arms embargo, according to reports published Tuesday.
The Sunday letter from Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, obtained by multiple news outlets, was unusually terse, and detailed multiple issues that could imperil the further provision of assistance.
"We are now writing to underscore the U.S. government's deep concern over the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza, and seek urgent and sustained actions by your government this month to reverse this trajectory," they wrote, according to a purported copy of the letter posted on social media by an Axios reporter.
"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 northern 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," they added.
The amount of international assistance that has entered Gaza since Israel promised to increase deliveries in March and April has fallen by over 50%, and in September deliveries fell to their lowest point in a year, Austin and Blinken wrote.
The officials said their departments "must" under U.S. law "continually assess your government's adherence to" its promises not to obstruct U.S. and U.S.-supported international aid.
They called on Israel to surge all international assistance throughout Gaza ahead of winter, including by allowing a minimum of 350 trucks to enter the coastal territory per day, and ensuring that commercial corridors and those run by Jordan operate at "full and continuous capacity."
The letter further calls on Israel to "end isolation of northern Gaza" by reaffirming that Israel will not force Palestinian civilians to evacuate to the south, and ensuring humanitarian groups "have continuous access" to the north.
Israel has dramatically increased its attacks on northern Gaza in recent days, killing scores of Palestinian civilians and ordering them to flee. Many who have attempted to do so have reported coming under Israeli attack.
Austin and Blinken said it is "vitally important" that the U.S. and Israel establish a "new channel" to discuss what they called "civilian harm incidents," saying their "engagements to date have not produced the necessary outcomes." They asked for first meeting of that mechanism take place by the end of October.
Neither the Pentagon, nor the State Department, responded to requests for comment on the purported letter.

Today's top stories
Today, Vice President Harris is set to announce initiatives aimed at winning over Black voters, particularly men. She has pledged to legalize recreational marijuana, protect cryptocurrency assets and give 1 million fully forgivable loans of up to $20,000 for Black entrepreneurs and others to start businesses. Polls show that Black men are not as enthusiastic about Harris as they were about President Biden in 2020. Some are showing interest in former President Donald Trump. Democrats are worried that even a small shift in the Black male vote could harm Harris' chances of winning crucial swing states needed to secure the White House.
- 🎧 With the race so close, NPR's Deepa Shivaram tells Up First that Harris spending these final weeks trying to appeal to Republican and independent voters. She is set to discuss her new proposals today at a town hall event with Charlamagne tha God, one of the hosts of The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne is known for being a challenging interviewer and has been critical of Democratic candidates in the past.
Aid workers and human rights groups fear that Israel's new offensive is starving people in north Gaza. The plan, which has been in effect for the past two weeks, focuses on the Jabalia refugee camp where Israel claims Hamas was attempting to regroup. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which provides aid to Palestinians, reports that civilians in the area are being forced to either leave or face starvation due to blocked food deliveries. Israel has issued an evacuation order for all of north Gaza.
- 🎧 NPR’s Daniel Estrin spoke with a man named Mohammed El Balaawy, who fled his home in Jabalia. El Balaawy stated that he was part of a group of 25 people who escaped while under fire, and 10 of them were injured or killed. His relatives who stayed behind have run out of food and water. The practice of "leave or starve" is not an official policy, and the Israeli army denies its implementation.
The Biden administration is establishing a new national marine sanctuary off the Central California coast that will protect over 4,500 square miles of ocean. The Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary will be the first to be managed by Indigenous people. It will be overseen in collaboration with local tribes and Indigenous groups that will provide guidance to the federal government. This initiative reflects the Biden administration's commitment to involving tribes in decisions regarding the lands and waters that were historically taken from them.

Sometimes, we tend to criticize our style or body when getting dressed. Stylist Sophie Strauss wants to flip the narrative and reframe how we talk about our clothes in relation to our bodies. Here are positive and constructive ways to tackle style complaints.
- 👖 If you're feeling stuck or bored with your style, don't rush to buy new clothes. Take this opportunity to reconsider what you already have and get creative.
- 👖 Saying comments like “this isn’t flattering” blames your body. Put the fault back on your clothes by saying, “I don’t like this.”
- 👖 Remember, anyone can take fashion risks; it just takes confidence, which can be built.

Every year during Holy Week leading up to Easter, the community in Juntas, Buenaventura, Colombia, celebrates the Manacillos festival. This ancient ritual originated near the Yurumangui River. During the festival, no one is allowed to work in the artisanal gold mines or the agricultural fields in the jungle. The Manacillos festival holds profound spiritual significance, as it reaffirms the residents' African roots and resists colonialism and imposed Catholicism through syncretism, creating a new collective cultural identity.

Michael Charles Angelos, 70, passed away peacefully on the evening of Tuesday May 28, 2024 at his home in Davenport, Iowa. He was cremated at Halligan-McCabe-DeVries Funeral Home and had no funeral or service per his wishes. Mike was interred in Linwood Cemetery in Dubuque, Iowa, next to his father, James Angelos.
Mike was born in Dubuque, Iowa on November 3, 1953 to James Andrew Angelos and Helen Mary (Petrakis) Angelos. He graduated from Iowa State University in 1976 with a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering. Mike worked for Harrington Signal Control Process Division and Honeywell before retiring from the Rock Island Arsenal after 25 years of service. He enjoyed golfing, playing basketball, watching ISU football, and researching his Greek ancestors through genealogy.
He is survived by his sister, Andrea (John) Ellerbach; nieces Aurora (Jason) Hawk and Natalie (Larry) Ellerbach Cadile; great niece Luciana Cadile; Julie Schmidt Urban; and many cousins and friends. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his grandparents, Charles K. and Mary A. (Antonopoulos) Petrakis; Andrew D. and Vera T. (Vrotsos) Angelos; and great parents Theodore G. and Irene E. (Skondrianos) Vrotsos.
And Now for the Rest of the Story
There's so much more to Angelos, as those of us who worked with him called him. I first met Mike Angelos around 2006 when many of us were waking up to the wisdom of Dr. Ron Paul, former multi-term Texas congressman, three-time Presidential candidate, best-selling author, and sound-money and peaceful-foreign-policy promoter. No, this article isn't about Ron Paul. But it goes without saying to those who knew and loved Angelos that Ron Paul is/was the nexus around which our mutual orbits frequently collided.
Angelos was quiet, reserved, soft-spoken, and a relentless driving force for restoring Liberty in Iowa and living by Iowa's state flag creed: “Our liberties we prize and our rights we will maintain.” When he and Michael Elliot and James Getman and I started the local Meetup we called “SuperLiberty,” we all agreed that the mission of such a voluntary association virtual and IRL meetup would be to “make Scott County an oasis of liberty in Iowa.”
The SuperLiberty meetup was promoted at Meetup.com, on social media, and by word of mouth. We hosted an open-to-the-public/no-membership-fee round table discussion and networking event in the basement of the downtown Davenport Public Library. Every other week on Saturday morning, there would be as few as six and as many as 20 attendees. The meetings started with a rundown of a definition of terms that focused on the differences between privileges and rights. You know: nutballs like us that actually read the Bill of Rights and state and federal constitutions. Then, each attendee would be asked to give a brief report of what they have been up to lately to make a difference with citizen vigilance, advocacy, and/or protesting. This is before instant messaging on phones, posting on a dozen socials. It's the type of forum and gathering our country's founders did, except they were in a tavern most of the time and we kept the vibe all business in the library basement! Invariably, each attendee would give everyone an update about the state wide or nation wide advocacy group they were current focused on. Angelos was one of the primary forces that kept SuperLiberty going when he helped stand up and monitor a list-serve e-mail list via Meetup.com for SuperLiberty.
I admired and greatly appreciated Angelos' moderating skills on this list-serve. I learned a lot in those threads, and met many new friends. There were skirmishes, sure. But he was a natural at keeping shit-posting out, common sense in, and reminding the group what the mission is from time to time. He researched voraciously and always shared substantive information after having reviewed it himself before posting links and comments. He was the deft fact-checker on the inside, and diplomatically called out bull crap when required, always encouraging the other party to prove him wrong so he was more informed. When I go back and look at the threads from more than 15 years ago, the topics and local situations we were being contacted about and vetted by our core team, it is staggering.
The Ultimate Local Concerned Citizen
Angelos, like many of us in SuperLiberty, attempted to be part of the mainstream two-party system when Ron Paul decided to run for president as a Republican and not a Libertarian in 2007. That pivot to influencing a local political party made us inherently focus on what else was going on locally. We had heard about Agenda 21 – the global agenda to centrally control local population growth, labor-food-energy resources and property rights – many times in the SuperLiberty meetups, all under the guise of “sustainable development” or “smart growth.” Based on Agenda 21 hawks in other states, we learned that the County government is where these agendas were taking root. None of us even knew who was on the County Board of Supervisors back in 2010. Angelos, Elliott, and I attended our first Scott County Board of Supervisor public meeting to start paying attention. I will never forget the board chair pointing to us three sitting there before the meeting started and asking who we were and why we were there? They were not used to citizens just showing up to monitor their activities back then.
Angelos was a frequent Letters to the Editor submitter to the Quad-City Times, sending in letters on a variety of topics many times each month, attempting to awake any who would listen to topics and perspectives not being shared in the daily paper of record. He had an ongoing feud with the editors who would edit his letter's copy, much to his chagrin, and he kept a file of what he submitted alongside what made it to print, for posterity. He even cataloged by topic and author other local letter writers' submissions. The Davenport Public Library should archive his archives of such letters.
Angelos and his late-in-life-life-partner Julie Schmidt Urban were true urban (no pun intended) pioneers for food freedom spearheading the Davenport city ordinance that governed allowing residents to have chickens on their properties in 2017. It was the first of any such ordinance in Scott County. They solicited petitions for months at the farmers' markets and eventually got all but one alderman to agree to a backyard or urban chicken ordinance. The city even engaged Angelos and Julie to be the teachers of the class required to complete one's application, which they did through 2020.
Iowans for Accountability
In 2010, Angelos helped form the Iowans For Accountability, a non political party organization to run three candidates for Scott County Supervisor (ScottCountyIFA.blogspot.com/2010/11/election-day-update.html). Like many of us, he was fed up with faux conservatives on the Board rubber stamping our property rights away, and something had to be done to shake the system up. None of us even knew such an NPPO could be formed, but Angelos helped research the law, and if at least 50 percent of the then-63 precincts in Scott County had an eligible voter convene a meeting to form the NPPO, then that NPPO and its nominees would be on the ballot.
It took three meetings to get this accomplished in 2010, and Angelos was elected Secretary of the new NPPO that nominated John Green, Jesse Anderson, and John Riley for Supervisor that year. The uni-party prevailed, of course. This was during the SECC911 era when the County formed a new uncapped taxing authority with multiple governmental entities under a state code 28E, and added a new line item to all of our property taxes to create a new Emergency Management Agency subsidiary to consolidate 911 dispatching. It would take years for consolidation to happen and few even recall that the 28E organization was formed illegally with no signatures from the enabling governance members until years after SECC911 was implemented and the taxes were collected that paid the debt for an already built a multi-million dollar structure. But I digress. Back to Angelos.
I will never forget sitting with Angelos in the Scott County court house for the proceedings of empaneling and swearing in the Scott County Grand Jury for its year of service in 2011. SuperLiberty had been involved with the Fully Informed Jury Association and had been publishing an eight-page tabloid newspaper called Concerned Citizen that many of us took turns handing out in front of the courthouse every Monday morning to all who entered. The paper included information about juries voting their conscience, especially if a law was unjust. We eventually started researching the esoteric and back then hardly mentioned county grand jury and the Iowa Criminal Code 2.0 that in part governed their duties. After months of pressing then county attorney Mike Walton, he got a letter from then Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller confirming Angelos' persistent petitions to Walton that the identity of the county grand jury should be public, while their proceedings remain private.
With that letter from Walton in hand, Angelos and I confirmed when the next grand jury swearing in would be and attended. Eventually into the proceedings, the judge pointed to me and Angelos, asking, “Who are you, and why are you here?” Our answer was, “Is this not a public proceeding, your honor?” He said, “See me in chambers afterwards!” Angelos and I went into his office after the grand jury was sworn in, and showed him the letter and explained that we were simply trying to ensure the watchers knew we were watching the watchers and knowing who the annual grand jury is in your county is good preventative maintenance. The judge read the letter and then said, “Good for you guys. Well done. Carry on.”
We mailed each of the grand jurors a tool kit to help inform them of how important their role was to ensuring the government served the people, not the other way around (ScottCottcountyIFA.blogspot.com/2011/08/ifa-open-letter-to-scott-county-grand.html). So for nearly 10 years, Angelos and I would be joined by as many as a dozen other concerned citizens to be present at the annual Scott County Grand Jury empanelment, and we would publish the grand jury names and contact information at the Iowans for Accountability Web site. Sadly, beginning in 2023, the new county attorney and new court clerk have taken direction from the new state attorney general's office, and now claim that the grand jury membership is secret. That's a whole other story for the next Reader edition.
What's in the Water Again?
Angelos was a pragmatic planner, always helping whatever groups were meeting about an issue to stay focused on the mission and tasks at hand. One such group he helped lead was the Fluoride Free Quad Cities project, started in 2012. Nearly 12 years ago, Angelos and the SuperLiberty crew were ahead of the curve on examining how and why our water supply continues to contain a neural toxin in the form of a highly corrosive hydrofluorosilicic acid in the name of fighting tooth decay, also known as water fluoridation. We reported on this topic extensively in the Reader pages (RCReader.com/tags/fluoride).
Back then, Angelos helped organize “Have the Debate” events in January of 2013, where the one of the world's leading experts on neural toxins, Dr. Paul Connett, PhD spoke publicly at the Moline and Bettendorf public libraries. Mike wrote back then, "We are very fortunate to have the caliber of scientist and author that Dr. Connett is to help us launch this public debate about an issue that impacts nearly everyone living and working in Scott and Rock Island counties. This is not a partisan issue, and if we can't have a public and adult discussion about the chemicals going into our drinking water, then we are going to have an even harder time addressing what many consider partisan issues."
This campaign prompted the Scott County Health department to break out the white coats and assure the Supervisors and Davenport City Council that medicating a populace without its consent with an industrial waste by product, rather than the pharmaceutical grade fluoride the original contract called for, was good for the poor kids who won't stop eating candy and can't afford to go to the dentist. Angelos tried to get local dentists or an educator at the University of Iowa dentistry school to debate Dr. Connett, but no one would have such a debate. The Davenport city council dutifully listened to Fluoride Free Quad Cities at a public meeting, and then, with prepared remarks, a handful of city councilmen dismissed the concerns with conspiracy talking points, telling us behind the scene that there was just not enough people on the petition or showing up to city hall to even review the terms of the 1950s-era original contract to see if it was up to current standards. Angelos kept the group going for several more years, but the issue never gained enough traction for a widespread public discussion. Now, more than 10 years later, Angelos' shared vision is coming to fruition with the September 24, 2024 federal-court ruling compelling the EPA to do its job and regulate this “unreasonable risk” to children. Angelos would have loved to meet Connett's son Michael, who has been fighting this battle in the California federal court for seven years. See the story by Flouride Action Network's executive director on page 4 for more details.
A Stickler for Details
In 2020, Angelos joined former Scott County Supervisor Diane Holst as a plaintiff in the lawsuit against the Center for Technical and Civic Life (CTCL) over their private funding (from Facebook founder Zuckerberg's foundation that injected $400MM into swing county elections in 2020) of public elections in Scott County, Iowa. These efforts led in part to the resignation of then County Auditor Roxanna Moritz, who Angelos worked well with upon Moritz taking office years earlier. Angelos helped Michael Elliot run for Auditor as an independent. Even though he did not win the election, it was Elliot's platform that Angelos helped craft that Moritz in part adopted, giving the voters of Scott County its first published chain of custody policy in more than 30 years.
Angelos would be chagrined to learn that in 2022 the county supervisors voted in unison to make that chain of custody policy which was previously public, now secret. The ordinance reads in part, “WHEREAS, while the Scott County Auditor’s Office advocates for 100-percent transparency in local government, the Office recognizes that releasing public records related to vulnerabilities of election infrastructure would be irresponsible and detrimental to the voters and may allow bad actors to affect the integrity of elections administered by the County.” I can hear Angelos now, applying his engineering mind to this self congratulatory passage, stating something like, “So much for 100-percent transparency. We never asked the Auditors office to publish vulnerabilities. Wait … you are stating it is a public record. We want to know who is responsible for moving the election assets from points A to B.” See the 2024 Auditor's race questionnaire for more info.
There are so many projects in the name of citizen vigilance and sound governance that Angelos participated in, it's hard to keep track of them all! They include Continental Congress 2009 in St. Charles, Illinois, where Angelos was an Iowa delegate for the week-long We the People Foundation-led, nationally attended citizen forum to document remedial instructions to the federal and state legislators on the well-documented constitutional violations. Angelos was front and center when those instructions The Articles of Freedom were delivered in person to our local state legislators and again on April 19, 2010 when we held an event at the state capitol and personally delivered them to the governor, and Senator Tom Harkins office. Senator Chuck Grassley sent an aide to the event to receive the documents, and only state senator Dr. David Hartsuch responded to the instructions by recording a video agreeing with the fundamental premise that citizens have the right to withhold their money when petitions for redress of grievance go unanswered.
Michael Angelos is sorely missed. He was very private and very few even knew he was dying of kidney cancer toward the end. He did not want any funeral service. However, those of us who loved him and enjoyed his revolutionary spirit will be celebrating Angelos' life on what would have been his 71st birthday on Sunday, November 3, at the Freight House's Front Street Brewery (421 West River Drive, Davenport IA), beginning at 3 p.m. Please join us in celebrating Angelos' tireless effort to make the Quad Cities an oasis for Liberty.

GAA president Jarlath Burns last weekend floated the possibility that inter-county GAA managers could be put under regularised contracts, which brought back to the surface a persistent talking point in GAA: payments to managers.
Despite the GAA’s amateur status, successive presidents and directors-general of the Association have acknowledged that managers are paid at club and inter-county level. On today’s show, Sinéad O’Carroll and Gavin Cooney reveal how much managers are making at club and inter-county level, and ask what it means for the GAA from a reputation and taxation point of view.
Is the best remedy to regularise the payments, and if so, would that destroy the amateurism heart of the GAA? Or is that amateurism already dead?

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Meritage Homes (NYSE:MTH), the fifth-largest public homebuilder in the U.S., today announced the appointment of Erin Lantz as an independent director to its Board of Directors, effective October 14, 2024. Her appointment demonstrates the Company's commitment to ongoing board refreshment as it increases its size to 11 directors. The Board plans to consider Ms. Lantz for appointment to one or more board committees over the course of the next several regularly scheduled board meetings.
Ms. Lantz brings to the Meritage Board over 20 years of leadership experience and extensive knowledge in technology-related offerings. She currently serves as Chief Revenue Officer for Ethos, a fintech company specializing in life insurance. Previously, Ms. Lantz was the Vice President and General Manager of Mortgages at Zillow Group, Inc., an online real estate database company, and Senior Vice President at Bank of America, where she led the Direct-to-Consumer purchase home loan business.
Her public company director experience currently includes Blend Labs, Inc. (NYSE: BLND), a provider of digital banking solutions, where she chairs the Compensation Committee and serves on the Audit Committee. Ms. Lantz formerly served on the boards of TrueCar, Inc., a digital automotive marketplace, and Washington Federal, Inc., a bank holding company. She holds an MBA from Harvard University and received a bachelor's degree in Political Science, Philosophy and Economics from the University of Pennsylvania.

ATLANTA — Local election board members in Georgia cannot refuse to certify election results in any scenario, even if they report concerns about fraud or errors, a state judge ruled Tuesday.
“If election superintendents were, as Plaintiff urges, free to play investigator, prosecutor, jury, and judge and so — because of a unilateral determination of error or fraud — refuse to certify election results, Georgia voters would be silenced,” Fulton County Superior Judge Robert McBurney wrote in his decision. “Our Constitution and our Election Code do not allow for that to happen.”
The ruling comes as several Republican local election board members have already declined to certify election results from primary contests earlier this year and after the Georgia State Election Board passed new rules that appeared to allow this discretion. Georgia’s Republican secretary of state has long emphasized that certification is not optional under Georgia law.
Julie Adams, a Republican on the Fulton County Board of Elections, asked the court to rule that her duty to certify is discretionary — not mandatory. Adams has declined to certify multiple elections this year.
McBurney has yet to decide on the new State Election Board rules themselves, which are being challenged in several other lawsuits.
New election rules
One rule says local boards should conduct a “reasonable inquiry” into the accuracy of the count before certifying results. The other says local board members must be allowed to examine all election-related documents “prior to certification of results.”
Several Democratic local election officials and voters, as well as the Democratic Party of Georgia and the Democratic National Committee, filed a lawsuit asking the courts to overturn the rules, or at least affirm that under Georgia law, local election boards’ duty to certify is mandatory, not discretionary.
Certifying election results at the county level is a critical step leading up to the Electoral College vote. Election observers worry that even unsuccessful attempts to block certification could result in disruptions or open the door for misinformation about the integrity of the election — which could have sweeping consequences in a critical swing state.
The Republicans on the State Election Board have faced scrutiny for a series of rule changes ahead of the November election that have been praised by former President Donald Trump. The last-minute tinkering with election rules has drawn criticism not only from Democrats and local election officials, who are scrambling to train poll workers, but also Georgia’s Republican secretary of state and attorney general.
Several of the rules, including a measure approved in September that requires poll workers to hand count the number of ballots cast on Election Day in each precinct, are facing multiple lawsuits and are in court over the next several days.
A trial over certification rules
During a roughly two hour trial, lawyers challenging the certification rules and those defending them agreed Georgia law is clear that election results must be certified by the state deadline. But they fought over whether the court should go further to rein in potentially rogue election officials who may not comply.
“We’re going to assume that public officials are going to fulfill their duty in good faith,” argued Elizabeth Young, the state’s senior assistant attorney general. “You do your best and you certify and you turn whatever the issue is that you think is not quite resolved over to the district attorney.”
McBurney was skeptical. “I happen to live in a county where a member of a board didn’t certify, so I’m wondering when we need to set aside this presumption when faced with real-life examples,” he replied, referencing Fulton County, where Republican members including Adams declined to certify election results earlier this year. Similar votes have occurred in other Georgia counties and in other swing states since 2020.
Attorneys challenging the rules pressed McBurney for a ruling making it undisputable that local election board members must certify.
In fact, later that same day, McBurney heard arguments in the lawsuit from Adams, the Fulton County election board member.
Her lawyer, who works for the Trump-aligned America First Policy Institute, argued that individual board members can vote against certifying or decline to certify certain buckets of votes as long as the board as a whole still moves to certify votes that are “correct.”
In his Tuesday ruling, McBurney did agree that any election information not protected from disclosure that is needed to inspect or conduct elections should be promptly provided to election board members. But he made clear that not receiving that information is not grounds to vote against certifying.
“[Election s]uperintendents are rule-writers, personnel trainers and managers, logisticians, marketers, and accountants. Much of what they do is left to their broad, reasoned discretion. But not everything — some things an election superintendent must do, either in a certain way or by a certain time, with no discretion to do otherwise,” McBurney wrote.
“While the superintendent must investigate concerns about miscounts and must report those concerns to a prosecutor if they persist after she investigates, the existence of those concerns, those doubts, and those worries is not cause to delay or decline certification,” he wrote.
The decision can be appealed, so litigation may be ongoing as Election Day nears.

Netanyahu: Israel will respond to Iran ‘based on national security needs’ October 15, 2024Netanyahu addresses UN General Assembly on Sept 27, 2024 (AP/Pamela Smith)(AP/Pamela Smith)Netanyahu: Israel will respond to Iran ‘based on national security needs’ Tweet WhatsApp Email https://worldisraelnews.com/netanyahu-israel-will-respond-to-iran-based-on-national-security-needs/ Email Print Netanyahu had reportedly informed Biden that Israel’s retaliatory strike on Iran would avoid nuclear and oil sites.By JNSThe decision to respond to Iran’s missile attack against Israel will be “based on Israel’s national security needs,” according to a statement released by the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu overnight Monday.“We listen to the American government’s thoughts, but will make our final decisions based on Israel’s national security needs,” the statement continued.The statement was an apparent response to a Washington Post report on Monday that Netanyahu had informed U.S. President Joe Biden that Israel’s retaliatory strike on the Islamic Republic would avoid oil and nuclear installations and instead focus on military sites.Read 'This is madness' - US furious over Netanyahu plan to fire defense ministerA U.S. official and an official familiar with the matter told the Post that the comments were made during a phone call last week between the two leaders. The latter official said that the retaliatory action would be adjusted to avoid the perception of “political interference in the U.S. elections.”Both officials suggested that the alleged softening of Netanyah’s stance in favor of a more limited strike was related to Washington’s decision to deploy in Israel a THAAD advanced aerial defense system to defend against a potential Iranian response.The Israeli strike on Iran would be carried out before the U.S. presidential election on Nov. 5, the official familiar with the matter said, because a lack of action could be seen by the regime in Tehran as a sign of weakness.Read Netanyahu poised to fire Defense Minister Gallant and replace him with New Hope chief Saar - report“It will be one in a series of responses,” she said.Jerusalem’s target list will likely include Iranian military and energy infrastructure, but not nuclear facilities or assassinations, NBC News reported on Saturday, citing U.S. officials.However, the sources stressed that Israel has not decided on the type or timing of strikes.The Jewish state has vowed a significant response to Tehran’s second-ever direct attack on Oct. 1, in which over 180 ballistic missiles were fired at Israel from Iranian soil. The Israeli military with the assistance of the United States and Jordan shot down most of the missiles, with the sole casualty of the attack being a Palestinian man from Gaza who was struck by falling missile debris near Jericho.Read Iran using Houthis as weapons ‘testing ground’The damages from the Iranian attack are estimated at 150 million to 200 million shekels ($40 million to $53 million), according to an initial assessment by the Israel Tax Authority published on Sunday.Since the Oct. 1 attack, approximately 2,500 claims have been submitted to the Israeli government, including some 2,200 instances of damage to buildings and 300 claims of damage to vehicles and their contents.Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said on Oct. 9 that Israel’s strike “will be powerful, precise and above all—surprising,” adding that the Islamic regime “will not understand what happened and how it happened.” Benjamin NetanyahuIranretaliation strike

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Researchers, consultants, and behavioral scientists to provide advice, insights into employee sentiment and global workforce trends
TEMECULA, Calif., Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Perceptyx , the global leader in employee listening and actioning, today unveiled The Center for Workforce Transformation (CWT) , a research-based entity dedicated to studying, sharing, and amplifying practices that improve the employee experience.
Perceptyx created the CWT to deliver original research and evidence-based perspectives grounded in its 20-plus years of experience working with large global enterprises such as Dell, AB InBev, Citi, Ahold Delhaize, and Sysco. Previous CWT research topics have shed light on important EX trends such as workplace loneliness, conflict at work, and effective manager behavior. New research coming later this year from the CWT will examine what defines a meaningful career for the four generations in today's workforce and its influence on factors including intent to stay and life satisfaction.
CWT-led initiatives include:
Panel Research and Thought Leadership : Since 2020, Perceptyx has interviewed nearly 100,000 workers across the U.S. and Europe in every major industry and at every level of seniority, on a broad range of workplace and personal topics.

The CWT conducts and publishes regular research using this robust dataset to provide guidance to customers and the market. Organizations can use these data to compare themselves with their peers and target specific areas for focused action.
Industry-focused consortia : The CWT brings together industry practitioners in dynamic forums to address their unique employee experience challenges and celebrate successful employee experience practices. The first of these, the Healthcare EX Consortium, focuses on enhancing the healthcare worker experience in a mission-driving industry characterized by an ever-changing work environment.
Events : Perceptyx will host webinars and events to present new data and showcase how people leaders can achieve EX transformation.
“Over the last two decades, Perceptyx has enabled enterprises across industries to implement and demonstrate real change,” said John Borland, CEO of Perceptyx.“Through data, we've helped them understand the internal and external forces shaping their employees' experiences. The Center for Workforce Transformation is a natural extension of that work. It provides timely insights that companies can use to drive organization-wide change to transform their workplaces.”
Emily Killham, Senior Director and Head of the Center for Workforce Transformation, will spearhead the new organization, quantifying how changing workplace experiences and behaviors influence business outcomes. Kira Foley, Ph.D., Senior Behavioral Scientist, and Laura Sinkler, M.S., Senior Data Analyst, will support the CWT with applied research, data analysis, data visualization, and compelling storytelling about the leading practices that help to create and sustain workforce transformations.
"The Center for Workforce Transformation is dedicated to creating better workplaces through data-driven insights," said Emily Killham, Senior Director and Head of the Center for Workforce Transformation at Perceptyx. "We provide leaders with the research and data they need to take action at the right time to transform their EX to build a thriving workforce.

Llandeilo 5 Aberaeron 34
Admiral National League 3 West
A BONUS point win on the road was just reward for an impressive display for Aberaeron as they locked horns with Llandeilo, writes Parry Evans.
The league this year will see the Seagulls facing new challenges with the visit to Cae William the first on the agenda.
Urged on by a good away support they could not have asked for a better start to the day with a penalty by Rhodri Jenkins from the kick off.
The outside half had a purple afternoon, amassing 14 points with 100% accuracy from the boot, and so important to keeping the scoreboard ticking over.
Open rugby was the focus for the day with visitors backline once again always creating opportunities .
They will however not get all the glory as the hard work was achieved up front, fronting up well against heavy opponents.
Man of the match Bobby Jones was a foraging threat throughout, just shading fellow forwards Ceri Davies, Julian Roberts and Alex Danton.
After the early bonus it was well constructed move that allowed Steffan D J Jones to squeeze in at the corner and despite conceding a try late on Aberaeron led 13-5 at half time.
Minutes from the restart they registered their second score, again starting from their own half and ending with prop Danton crashing over under the posts.
Soon after the third try came from a searing break from captain Morgan Llewelyn, and winger Jones was on hand to cross wide out.
With 10 minutes remaining Aberaeron were harshly adjudged to have transgressed and given two forward yellow cards and this gave the incentive for the hosts to attempt an unlikely comeback.
Despite their strong forays and rolling mauls deep into the visitors half, the character and resilience shown by the defence kept the line intact, and the rearguard action became the most talked about at the final whistle.
They also had the last laugh as they broke from defence with an excellent passage of handling resulting in centre Jenkins adding to his points from the boot.
On the day the final result was born from an united and confident squad, and this will be important in the coming weeks with a tough encounter with Haverfordwest away next up.
Aberaeron will head down to Haverfordwest again the following week for a Division Three Cup second round tie.
Aberaeron have made a solid start to the campaign with two wins and a defeat in the league and a 45-17 win against Tonna in the first round of the Division Three Cup.
In the league they have beaten Llandeilo and Llangadog and lost to early leaders Tycroes.
Other ties include: Cardigan v Cwmafan; Machynlleth v Caernarfon Athletic; Abergele v Dolgellau.

Spanish PM Demands EU Halt Trade Deal with Israel October 15, 2024Pedro Sanchez Perez-Castejón Prime Minister of Spain and general secretary of Spanish Socialist Party during intervention in the Spanish congress of deputies. (Shutterstock)(Shutterstock)Spanish PM Demands EU Halt Trade Deal with Israel Tweet WhatsApp Email https://worldisraelnews.com/spanish-pm-demands-eu-halt-trade-deal-with-israel/ Email Print The move is the latest effort by Spain to isolate the Jewish state over the past year.By Algemeiner StaffSpanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on Monday urged other members of the European Union to suspend the bloc’s free trade agreement with Israel over its military campaigns in Gaza and Lebanon, marking the latest effort by Spain to isolate the Jewish state over the past year.“The European Commission must respond once and for all to the formal request made by two European countries to suspend the association agreement with Israel if it is found, as everything suggests, that human rights are being violated,” Sanchez said during an event in Barcelona.Sanchez was referring to requests made by Spain and Ireland in February to review the EU-Israel Association Agreement, over concerns that Israel had breached the pact’s human rights clause.Read WATCH: Spanish EU parliament member calls for countries to apologize to Israel over UNRWA fundingThe socialist leader also said his government opposed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s call for United Nations peacekeepers in southern Lebanon to move out of harm’s way while the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) conducted military operations against Hezbollah terrorists embedded in nearby locations.“Spain strongly condemns Netanyahu’s statement,” Sanchez said. “There will be no withdrawal of UNIFIL [UN Interim Force in Lebanon]. It is time for the international community to wake up and act decisively. The international order must be based on the rules that we all give ourselves, not on the strength of a few.”Israel has been fighting Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, where the Iran-backed terrorist organization wields significant influence, in recent weeks after a year of nearly daily drone, missile, and rocket strikes by Hezbollah forces on northern Israeli communities. The relentless barrages from Hezbollah caused tens of thousands of Israelis to evacuate their homes, and the Israeli government has pledged to make the area safe for the displaced citizens to return.Sanchez’s call for Europe to halt its free trade agreement with Israel came three days after the Spanish premier urged other countries to stop supplying weapons to the Jewish state.Read Spain’s Prime Minister calls on other countries to stop arming Israel in latest salvo against Jewish state“I believe it is urgent that, in light of everything that is happening in the Middle East, the international community stops exporting weapons to the government of Israel,” Sanchez told reporters after meeting with Pope Francis at the Vatican in Rome.“This is an appeal that I will make … to the entire international community,” the socialist leader added, saying it was important “not to contribute in one way or another to the escalation of violence and to the war and its expansion in Gaza, the West Bank or, in this case, to Lebanon.”Sanchez’s comments came as Israel continued to conduct military operations against not only Hezbollah in Lebanon to the north but also the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas in Gaza to the south. Hamas and Hezbollah, which openly seek Israel’s destruction, are both backed by Iran.Under Sanchez, Spain has been one of the most vocal critics of Israel since Oct. 7 of last year, when Hamas-led Palestinian terrorists invaded the Jewish state from neighboring Gaza. The terrorists murdered 1,200 people, wounded thousands more, and abducted over 250 hostages in their rampage, leading Israel to respond with a military campaign aimed at freeing those taken captive and dismantling Hamas’s military and governing capabilities.Read To the EU: Time to stand against Iran's regime, terror groups, nukesIn the aftermath of the Oct. 7 atrocities, Spain launched a diplomatic campaign to curb Israel’s military response. At the same time, several Spanish ministers in the country’s left-wing coalition government issued pro-Hamas statements and called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, with one member of the cabinet from the far-left Podemos alliance falsely accusing Israel of “genocide.”More recently, Spanish officials said they would not allow ships carrying arms for Israel to stop at its portsIn May, Spain officially recognized a Palestinian state, claiming the move was accelerated by the Israel-Hamas war and would help foster a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Israeli officials described the decision as a “reward for terrorism.”Spain, like many other countries around the world, experienced a surge in antisemitic incidents targeting the Jewish community following Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacre.

Analysis: Spats, shoves, snubs and snapbacks have ruled the NFL sidelines in 2024
The action on the football field has taken a back seat at times to sideline spats, snubs, shoves and snapbacks
Some of the NFL's biggest moments of late have come not on the field but the sideline.
Spats. Shoves. Snubs. Snapbacks.
It started with Aaron Rodgers refusing a bro hug from Robert Saleh after a touchdown in September before things went sour at the the New York Jets training center.
Two instigators who raised eyebrows in Week 6 quickly backtracked with Maxx Crosby denying his two-handed shove to the chest of an assistant Raiders coach was out of malice and Eagles coach Nick Sirianni apologizing for taunting his own fanbase at the Linc following a narrow win over the Browns.
Jerry Jones had a very unhappy 82nd birthday watching his Cowboys' fourth straight home loss, a 47-9 thrashing from the Detroit Lions. But Jones said after the worst home loss since he bought the team in 1989 that he's not considering dumping coach Mike McCarthy like Woody Johnson canned Saleh five days earlier.
Dallas' home skid includes lopsided losses to the Packers in the playoffs and the Saints this season along with a 28-25 loss to the Ravens after falling behind 28-6.
So, Saleh's stunningly early pink slip heading into Week 6 with the Jets just one game out of first place in the AFC East didn't lead to any copycats like so many other things in NFL do — at least not right away.
Rodgers and Saleh made light of their awkward moment in the aftermath of their rout of the Patriots, but the laugh track ended following two subsequent ugly offensive performances in back-to-back losses and Saleh was shown the exit as he was preparing the Jets for their showdown against the Bills on Monday night.
Rodgers insisted he played no role in Saleh's firing, which came as Saleh was reportedly considering stripping Nathaniel Hackett of his offensive play-calling duties, something Jeff Ulbrich did in his first major move as interim head coach on Thursday.
Ulbrich replaced Hackett with Todd Downing, the Jets’ passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Hackett — who is close to Rodgers from their time together in Green Bay — chose to remain with the team and retained his offensive coordinator title.
Rodgers, who nearly had his first 300-yard passing game since 2021 in New York's 23-20 loss to Buffalo on Monday night that dropped them to 2-4, said during the week that he takes a lot of the blame for the team's struggles and feels some responsibility for the changes because he hasn’t played up to his standard.
Rodgers, by the way, levied some serious criticism at the officials Monday night for throwing 22 combined flags for 204 penalty yards: “It seemed a little ridiculous. Some of them seemed really bad. Including the roughing passer on me. That’s not roughing the passer.”
Sirianni apologized Monday for gesturing and jawing at fans in the final moments of a win during which restless fans booed a listless performance and “Fire Nick!” chants permeated pockets at Lincoln Financial Field. After the team's fourth win in its last dozen tries, Sirianni defended his antics, saying he was simply “excited” to get a victory. He added the Eagles “don’t necessarily like it” when fans boo at home games.
Sirianni struck a conciliatory tone for his behavior a day later after his boorish behavior was ripped by fans and media.
“I was trying to bring energy yesterday. Energy, enthusiasm,” Sirianni said Monday. “I’m sorry and disappointed at how my energy was directed at the end of the game. My energy should be all in on coaching, motivating and celebrating with our guys.”
The Raiders have been the among the league leaders in drama this season with Devante Adams' trade request, a quarterback shuffling and now their superstar Crosby shoving Mike Caldwell, the Raiders' run game coordinator and linebackers coach, during the Raiders' 32-13 loss to the Steelers.
Crosby called it a “love push” in a post on X, and also addressed the situation at his locker with reporters after the game, saying, "Mike Caldwell is a great dude. We have a great relationship, and we do that all the time. ... That's how we play football. We're grown men. We're alpha males. We don't greet each other the same.
“So ... like he was just hyping me up and I hyped him up like, 'Let's go!' We're down, but it just showed that we're not quitting. And so that was literally all it was,” Crosby added. "... The camera, they made it look bad. It looked like I was throwing him out the club but that was not what happened at all.”
A week earlier, the Raiders lost in Denver, where Bo Nix clapped back at coach Sean Payton, who laid into his rookie quarterback as he retreated to the sideline following an off-script incompletion in the end zone.
Payton called his passionate reaction “my love language," and added that Nix still has “some Ferris Bueller in him," a babyboomer jab that made a lot more sense Sunday when the Broncos offense took much of the day off in their loss to the Chargers, falling behind 23-0 in the fourth quarter. At halftime. Nix had just three completions for 22 yards, plus an interception that safety Elijah Molden returned 25 yards.

The annual Broadway Halloween Parade will return for its eighth year on Saturday, Oct. 19 at 6:00 p.m. with more than a dozen hearses, 20+ hot rods and classic cars, horses, ghostbusters, zombies, giant skeletons, marching bands, aerial dancers and tons of spooky creatures to scare your socks off. The parade travels down Broadway from 5th to Alameda Avenue.
Presented by the Broadway Merchants Association and City Council District 7 Flor Alvidrez, the annual parade is a community and family-friendly event held in the eclectic and historic heart of Broadway. Small businesses on Broadway view this as an unofficial kick off to the holiday season.
“The Broadway Halloween Parade is my family’s favorite event of the year, and the best way to kick off Halloween! I can’t wait to see what funky and creative floats the community comes up with this year,” says City Councilmember Flor Alvidrez.
Denver7 is a proud partner of the Broadway Halloween Parade. Denver7 Anchor/Reporter Micah Smith will emcee the festivities.
Everyone is invited to join their neighbors and local businesses and debut their 2024 costumes and floats. All attendees (including dogs) are encouraged to join in the fun by wearing a Halloween costume.
The Broadway Halloween Parade depends on volunteers and is still looking for more than 35 volunteers to make sure the parade runs smoothly and safely.
Organizations and businesses who wish to enter a float in the parade (and volunteers) can apply at www.TheBroadwayHalloweenParade.com.
After increased expenses threatened to halt this Halloween tradition, the community came together to support the Broadway Halloween Parade, ensuring it continued this year, and beyond.
“We asked the community to help save the parade and they stepped up like I’ve never seen before,” said Broadway Merchants Association President Luke Johnson. “We’ve never had more than a few hundred dollars from community members, and we’ve never raised more than $13,000 in a single year for sponsorships. The very expensive ($26,000) pedestrian barricades will bring a new level of safety that the kids of our community need for this parade to continue. Thank you to all of the media outlets that helped spread the word.”
To learn more about the Broadway Halloween Parade, visit www.TheBroadwayHalloweenParade.com.
Denver7 is committed to making a difference in our community by standing up for what's right, listening, lending a helping hand and following through on promises. See that work in action, in the videos above.

US pressuring Zelenskyy on lowering draft age – President's Office adviser
Politicians from both the Democratic and Republican parties in the United States are pressuring President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to lower the draft age, but he has "not caved in", according to Serhiy Leshchenko, an adviser to the head of the President's Office.
"American politicians from both parties are pressuring President Zelenskyy on why Ukraine is not drafting those aged 18 to 25. The argument from our partners is that, during the Vietnam War, the US drafted soldiers starting at age 19," the adviser wrote.
Americans hint that Western weapons alone are not enough and mobilization from age 18 is needed, according to him.
Leshchenko noted that Zelenskyy has "not caved in" and continues to persuade both Democrats and Republicans to provide weapons to Ukraine without changing the draft age.
Earlier, in August, Fedir Venislavskyi, a member of the defense committee, confirmed that the issue of lowering the draft age is periodically raised by Ukraine's partners who are providing assistance.
In their view, this age range is "the most optimal and effective" for citizens to fight, considering their physical and psychological qualities, noted the MP from the Servant of the People party.
At the same time, he emphasized that there are currently no plans to lower the draft age, and all government institutions share the same position on this issue.

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) The integration ensures real-time data synchronization on a unified platform, allowing clients to meet regulatory standards more efficiently
LEHI, Utah and HOUSTON, Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Avetta ®, the leading provider of supply chain risk management (SCRM) software , announced a strategic partnership with energy Worldnet (EWN), an industry benchmark in training and compliance solutions for the energy sector. This collaboration will combine EWN's Operator Qualification (OQ) management features and the Avetta One platform, delivering a streamlined solution for midstream operators to enhance worker safety and meet regulatory OQ compliance requirements.
Managing contractor qualifications can be a significant administrative burden, particularly for clients under Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) regulations. The oil and gas industry has long awaited a solution to eliminate data consistency issues between OQ providers and compliance software, which often slows a client's ability to respond to PHMSA audits. This newly announced partnership addresses this need by providing a seamless approach to managing contractor OQ compliance alongside existing prequalification, business, financial, and cyber risk assessments, ensuring adherence and oversight of critical safety standards in pipeline operations.
"Integrating EWN's OQ data with Avetta One Worker Management equips pipeline operators with a single platform to oversee both safety and OQ requirements efficiently," said Taylor Allis, CPO of Avetta. "Pipeline operator qualification gets complicated with changing requirements, but EWN and Avetta offer a streamlined solution that improves training, transparency, and traceability, simplifying operations and PHMSA audits."
"We're excited to partner with Avetta to enhance compliance in the energy sector," said Coleman Sterling, EWN's CEO. "This integration aligns with EWN's commitment to delivering cutting-edge tools that streamline OQ processes, ensuring safety and regulatory compliance. Together, we're driving operational excellence across the industry."
Additional benefits include improved compliance tracking for regulatory audits, data synchronization to ensure contractor OQ compliance information is current and accurate, and a comprehensive view of contractor compliance, workforce safety, and OQ compliance for clients managing active pipeline operations. Data will also be available on Avetta's Mobile Solution, allowing contractors to view compliance information onsite.
"We are thrilled about Avetta's partnership with EWN, as it opens up new pathways for streamlined OQ solutions, empowering teams to ensure compliance and boost operational efficiency," said Sean Kelly, Director of Environmental, Health, Safety and Compliance at Producers Midstream. "With the addition of the Safety Maturity Index (SMI), an even more robust and streamlined contractor/supplier solution, we're fueling a future where safety and excellence go hand in hand."

Two factors often determine stock prices in the long run: earnings and interest rates. Investors can't control the latter, but they can focus on a company's earnings results every quarter.
The earnings figure itself is key, of course, but a beat or miss on the bottom line can sometimes be just as, if not more, important. Therefore, investors should consider paying close attention to these earnings surprises, as a big beat can help a stock climb and vice versa.
Hunting for 'earnings whispers' or companies poised to beat their quarterly earnings estimates is a somewhat common practice. But that doesn't make it easy. One way that has been proven to work is by using the Zacks Earnings ESP tool.
The Zacks Earnings ESP, Explained
The Zacks Earnings ESP, or Expected Surprise Prediction, aims to find earnings surprises by focusing on the most recent analyst revisions. The basic premise is that if an analyst reevaluates their earnings estimate ahead of an earnings release, it means they likely have new information that could possibly be more accurate.
With this in mind, the Expected Surprise Prediction compares the Most Accurate Estimate (being the most recent) against the overall Zacks Consensus Estimate. The percentage difference provides the ESP figure. The system also utilizes our core Zacks Rank to provide a stronger system for identifying stocks that might beat their next quarterly earnings estimate and possibly see the stock price climb.
When we join a positive earnings ESP with a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or stronger, stocks posted a positive bottom-line surprise 70% of the time. Plus, this system saw investors produce roughly 28% annual returns on average, according to our 10 year backtest.
Stocks with a ranking of #3 (Hold), or 60% of all stocks covered by the Zacks Rank, are expected to perform in-line with the broader market. Stocks with rankings of #2 (Buy) and #1 (Strong Buy), or the top 15% and top 5% of stocks, respectively, should outperform the market; Strong Buy stocks should outperform more than any other rank.
Should You Consider Texas Instruments?
Now that we understand what the ESP is and how beneficial it can be, let's dive into a stock that currently fits the bill. Texas Instruments (TXN) earns a #3 (Hold) right now and its Most Accurate Estimate sits at $1.37 a share, just seven days from its upcoming earnings release on October 22, 2024.
Texas Instruments' Earnings ESP sits at +0.44%, which, as explained above, is calculated by taking the percentage difference between the $1.37 Most Accurate Estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.36. TXN is also part of a large group of stocks that boast a positive ESP. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
TXN is one of just a large database of Computer and Technology stocks with positive ESPs. Another solid-looking stock is Lyft (LYFT).
Slated to report earnings on November 13, 2024, Lyft holds a #3 (Hold) ranking on the Zacks Rank, and it's Most Accurate Estimate is $0.23 a share 29 days from its next quarterly update.
For Lyft, the percentage difference between its Most Accurate Estimate and its Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.19 is +21.05%.
TXN and LYFT's positive ESP figures tell us that both stocks have a good chance at beating analyst expectations in their next earnings report.
Find Stocks to Buy or Sell Before They're Reported
Use the Zacks Earnings ESP Filter to turn up stocks with the highest probability of positively, or negatively, surprising to buy or sell before they're reported for profitable earnings season trading. Check it out here >>

U.S. Agriculture Department officials have launched an internal investigation into how the agency handled reports of serious problems at a Boar's Head deli meat plant tied to a deadly listeria outbreak, a lawmaker said Tuesday.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal said that USDA Inspector General Phyllis Fong is looking into whether federal investigators and Virginia state inspectors responded appropriately to dozens of reports of problems at the factory, including mold, insects, dripping water and meat and fat residue on walls, floors and equipment. Inspection reports dating back at least two years indicated that the conditions could pose an “imminent threat” to food safety.
The action came in response to a Sept. 5 letter from Blumenthal demanding an investigation, he said.
“USDA took virtually no action — allowing Boar’s Head to continue business as usual at its chronically unsanitary Virginia plant — despite finding repeated serious violations," the Connecticut Democrat said in a statement.
At least 10 people died and nearly 50 were hospitalized in 19 states since May after eating listeria-contaminated Boar's Head products, including liverwurst, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. After recalling more than 7 million pounds of deli meat distributed nationwide, Boar's Head officials shuttered the plant in Jarratt, Virginia, and permanently stopped making liverwurst.
Officials with Fong's office did not immediately confirm the investigation. Blumenthal declined to release the agency's response. He said the internal investigation would evaluate the handling of recurrent problems and whether state inspections properly reduced the risk of tainted products entering the food supply.
The Boar's Head plant was inspected under a program that allows state inspectors to act on behalf of the federal agency.
In addition to the internal investigation, Blumenthal and Connecticut Rep. Rosa DeLauro last month asked the Justice Department to investigate whether criminal charges were warranted.
Officials with USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service have refused to share documents regarding the agency's inspections and enforcement at the plant, plus inspection reports from eight other company factories across the country. The agency denied Freedom of Information Act requests submitted by The Associated Press, saying releasing the records could “interfere with” and “hinder” potential law enforcement investigations. The AP is appealing the denial.

Trump emphasizes hypermasculinity as he and Harris pursue male voters
The candidates for U.S. president and their allies want men to believe their vote says big things about their masculinity
Attention, American men: Donald Trump and his allies want you to believe your vote says big things about your masculinity.
In the final weeks before the Nov. 5 election, the Republican nominee is amping up his hypermasculine tone and support of traditional gender roles, a reflection of the surgical campaign-within-a-campaign for the votes of men in a showdown with Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris. But where Harris is deploying “dudes” who use bro-ey language and occasional scolding to boost her support particularly among Black and Hispanic males, Trump's camp is meeting men in alpha-male terms, often with crude and demeaning language. That means he appears on podcasts, gaming platforms, and alongside surrogates who define American manliness as a vote for the former Republican president.
“If you are a man in this country and you don’t vote for Donald Trump, you’re not a man,” Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk said on his podcast.
Subtle, it's not. But the razor's edge contest between Trump and Harris elevates the importance of small caches of voters who are apathetic or on the fence in the battleground states poised to decide the election. So in a twist on gender and identity politics, both camps are reaching out beyond their ideological bases.
“You’re thinking about sitting out or supporting somebody who has a history of denigrating you, because you think that’s a sign of strength, because that’s what being a man is?” former President Barack Obama scolded Black men last week in Pennsylvania, the largest battleground state. “That’s not acceptable.”
The polls and history tell the story of the candidates' pursuit of support from men. Trump, who has a long history of denigrating women and bragging about the size of his body parts, won among men in 2016, when he defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton and in 2020, when he lost to President Joe Biden.
This year, men appear to be leaning toward Trump and women toward Harris, though the size of the gap varies across polls.
The nation has an unbroken list of male presidents, who have been presented as father figures, role models and archetypes of American masculinity. Their ranks have included military heroes, including George Washington and Dwight D. Eisenhower. Lawmakers such as Abraham Lincoln, Obama and Biden. A son of the South, Bill Clinton. An actor-turned-governor in Ronald Reagan. And scions like John F. Kennedy and George W. Bush — a Texas rancher.
Then there’s Trump, the New York developer and entertainer whose political fortunes have survived a troubled presidential term, 34 felony convictions, a jury verdict finding him liable for sexual assault and two assassination attempts. He rose from a shooting in July, blood-splattered and fist raised, yelling, “Fight, fight, fight!”
He's taking a paternalistic approach as part of a strategy that his campaign hopes could help him not just among men, but also among suburban women who might hesitate supporting him. Trump has long aimed misogyny at women who challenge him.
“I think women like me because I will be your protector,” he told supporters in Aurora, Colorado, on Friday, in remarks about illegal immigration. “The women want protection. They don’t want these people pouring in.”
Last week, Trump called radio host Howard Stern, whose audience is overwhelmingly male, a “BETA MALE” on Truth Social. He recently suggested a female protester at one event should “go back home to Mommy” to “get the hell knocked out of her.” His spokesperson, Steven Cheung, tweeted ridicule of Harris’ campaign using a sexualized slang term — “cucked” — as apparent shorthand for weakness and submission.
He often muses on stage about his advisers counseling him to change so he would better appeal to women — but then dismisses their advice.
Trump is employing a strategy that has roots in the late 1960s and 1970s, when Republicans realized that framing their opponents as soft and feminine could win them appeal among white working-class men, according to Jackson Katz, an author and the creator of the film “The Man Card: 50 Years of Gender, Power & the American Presidency.”
By positioning Trump as a masculine hero, the campaign has crafted a story, Katz said. “It really is like a soap opera for men.”
In a series of twists on the ever-present gender gap and identity politics, young women are growing more liberal, but young men are not. Most Hispanic women view Harris favorably, but Hispanic men are more divided on her. Alarm bells sounded in Democratic ranks last weekend over concerns about Harris' support among Black men. And some young men feel culturally disaffected in the age of MeToo and Black Lives Matter.
In the election's closing weeks, those dynamics could spell opportunity for the campaigns as they seek to carve more support from whisper-thin slices of the electorate that have yet to choose a side.
“There does seem to be a battle in this campaign to define masculinity,” Jack Z. Bratich, a communications professor at Rutgers University, wrote in an email. Trump, he said, is “harnessing their insecurities and resentments so they feel empowered to vote for him as a way of restoring patriarchal order.”
Harris has unveiled a plan to give Black men more economic incentives and opportunities to thrive. She's sitting for a town hall Tuesday with Charlamagne Tha God, an influential radio host. And vice presidential candidate Tim Walz, fresh off pheasant hunting with reporters in tow and talking football, unveiled an effort to improve the lives of rural voters. She wants you to know that she owns a Glock and that her favorite curse word, as she once said, starts with an “m” and ends with “ah.” (After letting out a trademark chuckle, she clarified further: “Not ‘e-r.’”)
Harris also announced that she'll step outside her ideological comfort zone for her first interview on Fox News. That was enough to activate Trump.
“Fox has grown so weak and soft on the Democrats,” he groused on Truth Social, his social media platform. For his part, Trump is also appearing on Fox News this week in an all-female town hall.
In a sign of how important the votes of men are to Harris' campaign as well: Men are appealing to men to support her. Hence the birth of “Dudes for Harris,” "Hombres con Harris" and Black Men Huddle Up” events in battleground states.
“What the hell are you waiting for?” demanded gravelly voiced actor Sam Elliott in an ad by the anti-Trump Lincoln Project. “Because if it's the woman thing, it's time to get over that.”

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Fisent GenAI Efficacy Framework (GEF) Offers a Data-Driven Approach
to Selecting Best Fit GenAI Models for Business Process Automation
TORONTO, Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fisent Technologies , a pioneer in Applied GenAI Process automation solutions, has unveiled a new framework designed to help its Fisent BizAI customers objectively evaluate the performance of various GenAI models for specific business process automation use cases. Fisent's GenAI Efficacy Framework (GEF) enables enterprises to measure, compare, and select the most effective GenAI models based on key metrics like accuracy, speed, cost, and consistency.
Fisent's GEF empowers enterprises to optimize their GenAI implementations by identifying the best model and parameters for each of their process automation efforts. This data-driven approach helps teams justify their GenAI choices and demonstrate a clear return on investment. By evaluating models against real-world requirements, GEF mitigates the risk of suboptimal performance and ensures that organizations stay ahead of the rapidly evolving GenAI landscape through continuous assessment and optimization.
"The idea for GEF sparked as typical AI model evaluation methods, like those that measure Massive Multitask Language Understanding (MMLU), failed to balance the nuanced requirements of our customers' real-world automation decisions," explains Adrian Murray, Founder and CEO of Fisent. "GEF offers a more pragmatic approach by evaluating the most important factors to any given application decision: accuracy, speed, cost, and consistency. Understanding these metrics allows enterprises to make more informed decisions about which LLM to employ for each of their process automation challenges."
Fisent's GEF includes a configurator that customers can use to evaluate the tradeoffs inherent in comparing their LLM options. The GEF configurator intelligently scores given requirements against available LLMs to produce a ranked list of the models expected to perform best for a specific situation along with numerous visual comparison charts for speedy analysis. For example, using the configurator to increase the requirement for accuracy will adjust the rank-order of LLMs under consideration. What's more, other variables evaluated by the configurator adjust accordingly. If there is a need for both speed and high accuracy, the cost variable associated with the best-fit LLMs is likely to increase. GEF is useful to Fisent customers when they initially implement Fisent BizAI against a specific process automation and again when evaluating new models or model upgrades.
Key benefits of Fisent's GEF include:
Comprehensive evaluation: Assess GenAI models across multiple variables, such as accuracy, speed, cost, and consistency. Data-driven insights: Provide actionable recommendations based on objective metrics and statistical analysis. Continuous optimization: Enable enterprises to monitor and improve model performance over time. Ease of use: Streamline the process of evaluating and selecting GenAI models, even for non-technical users.
"Fisent is committed to driving innovation in the Applied GenAI Process Automation space and empowering enterprises to harness the full potential of this transformative technology," said Murray. "Providing a robust and reliable framework for evaluating meaningful GenAI model performance is just one way that Fisent is delivering on this vision."
About Fisent
Fisent Technologies is revolutionizing how business is performed by enabling the utilization of GenAI models for the automation of common business processes. By creating a bridge between the enterprise application layer and the rapidly evolving ecosystem of both proprietary and publicly available GenAI models, Fisent's Applied GenAI Process Automation solution, BizAI, enables process automation of time-consuming repetitive tasks such as contract reviews, new customer onboarding, and order processing. By combining the power of new technologies and its industry expertise, Fisent creates solutions that are fast, efficient, and cost-effective for customers of all sizes, helping them to achieve their desired business outcomes.

UK’s Conservative government was poised to impose sanctions on Israeli ministers prior to election defeat October 15, 2024British foreign minister David Cameron meets Benjamin Netanyahu, November 23rd, 2023.

Hugh has uncovered an amazing little operation that allows wine enthusiasts to craft their own wine. It’s called, Tin Lizzie Wineworks.
This is a facility that allows customers to make their own wine, from start to finish using grapes of their own choosing. Under the direction of winemaker Dave Zuchero, customers identify the type of wine they want to make, and Zuchero sources appropriate grapes. The process begins with crush, then goes to fermentation, barrel aging and bottling. At the end of the process the customer owns all the wine they have made. According to Hugh Sisson, the quality is surprisingly good.
To reach Tin Lizzie Wineworks, call 301-318-9954. Their website is https://tinlizziewineworks.com/. Tin Lizzie Wineworks is located in Clarksville, MD.

ELBERT COUNTY, Colo. — A shelter-in-place order has been issued in Elizabeth with multiple law enforcement agencies responding to a scene, according to the town.
Around 9 a.m. Tuesday, the Elbert County Sheriff's Office and Elizabeth Police Department issued a shelter-in-place order around 175 Spruce Street, as law enforcement worked around the area of the Fitzgerald Apartments. Residents are asked to stay in place until they receive an all-clear message, according to the Town of Elizabeth's Facebook page.
Anybody who cannot shelter in place can come to the Elizabeth Town Hall, located at 151 S. Banner St. The town hall is closed for business.
Elbert County SWAT was at the scene.
"More information will become available, but as this is a fluid event, involving several law enforcement departments, your cooperation is appreciated," the Town of Elizabeth wrote on Facebook.
Elizabeth Fire Rescue said the public should expect increase police activity on S. Elbert Street, which is now closed between Highway 86 and East Maple.
Elizabeth School District is on fall break this week, so no local schools are impacted by the police activity.
Elizabeth is a small town along Highway 86 about 13 miles east of Castle Rock.
Denver7 has a crew on their way to the scene to learn more.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
Denver7 is committed to making a difference in our community by standing up for what's right, listening, lending a helping hand and following through on promises. See that work in action, in the videos above.

Millions of people around the country have already cast a ballot in this year’s election. With competitive races for President and for U.S. Senate, Maryland voters are expected to turnout in high numbers.
The 2020 election, which put President Joe Biden into office, saw 66% participation. Two years later, in the 2022 midterms, only 46% of eligible voters cast ballots.
But besides low turnout, recent election suffered from a lack of poll workers. And with early voting in Maryland beginning in 10 days, election officials are continuing to call for more residents to get involved in the election process.
Marylanders working to ensure a secure and fair election join Midday today. They are organizing to get as many people as possible to cast votes, and they are getting young people involved in the electoral process.
Jared DeMarinis is Maryland’s State Administrator of Elections. We ask him about overseeing the state's election at a time of heightened paranoia and fearmongering around electoral integrity.
Then, we talk to Sam Novey, Co-Founder of Baltimore Votes Coalition. He is working to get more people involved in the election process, including young people. High school students Aleni Lila and James McLaughlin are new election judges participating in the upcoming election.
Maryland residents can register to vote at the polls during early voting and on Election Day.
The deadline to register to vote online is Oct. 15 by 11:59 p.m. By mail, registration must be postmarked by 5:00 p.m. local time on Oct. 15.
Early voting starts on Oct. 24 and runs through Oct 31, where voters can cast their ballots at any specified early voting center in their county. The final day for voters to cast their ballots in-person is on Election Day, Nov 5.
You can find more information at the State Board of Election website, vote.md.gov.

112 Minigames. 22 playable characters. 7 boards. 5 unique multiplayer modes and an exclusively single-player adventure to boot.
Super Mario Party Jamboree is stacked like no other game in the decades-old series. It’s not as consistent as its last title, Superstars, but it’s an appropriately extravagant celebration of the franchise’s rapidly-closing Nintendo Switch era.
Controlled chaos
Mario Party might be a digital board game about rolling dice, collecting coins, and racing to buy stars, but it's always lived and died by its minigames. Jamboree’s collection ranges from satisfying to mediocre — better than 2018’s Super Mario Party but falling short of 2021’s Mario Party Superstars. Many of its worst minigames are motion-controlled, but they’re thankfully few and there’s an option to exclude them.
The most extensive (often best) minigames occur when you collide with a “Jamboree buddy” while running around the board. These allies parachute in from the main cast and challenge players to a special competition. Yoshi has you run a footrace, Waluigi has you play pinball, Donkey Kong has you drum to a beat — and so on.
Win and you’ll recruit the buddy, gaining access to their unique power and the ability to double some normal actions — allowing you to buy two stars instead of one, for example. These allies are so powerful that, unlike their equivalents in 2018’s Super Mario Party, they’ll only stick around for a few turns, and ditch you to join other players that pass you on the board.
Other revisions hearken back to earlier titles or streamline old annoyances. Stars again cost 20 coins, not 10, pushing you to hoard money and minigame victories. Bowser spaces have returned — land on one and a giant “Imposter Bowser” will steal from you or launch a “Bowser Revolution” to equalize everyone’s coin totals. The game also has a swifter tempo, with snappy animations you can fast-forward through. Finally, optional “Pro Rules” rein in the randomness — trading hilarious upsets for tighter tactics.
Party favors
Jamboree bursts with other diversions aside from this main event. You can cooperate through rhythm challenges in a fantastical cooking show. You can tilt motion controls to slide items around a factory. You can even exhaust yourself with “Paratroopa Flight School” — where you’ll literally flap your arms to soar through the skies.
If you’ve got a Nintendo Online subscription, you can jump into the co-operative “Bowser Kaboom Squad” or cutthroat “Koopathlon” modes, which feature their own unique minigames for eight to 20 players (sadly, each participant needs their own Switch). Conversely, if you wish to party alone, there’s a surprisingly involved single-player mode called “Party-Planner Trek.”
Many activities quickly wear out their novelty. “Paratroopa Flight School” is difficult to maneuver, leaving me literally sore. “Toad’s Item Factory” requires patience and teamwork at odds with the game's typically frenetic pace. “Koopathlon” feels like Nintendo’s version of Fall Guys: blisteringly fun when you’re at the top of the pack and terribly demoralizing when you’ve fallen behind.
But in this overbearing variety, Jamboree lives up to its name. Even if it’s not the classic that Mario Party Superstars proved to be, I can already tell that its approachable gameplay and goofy chaos will make it a family staple for years to come.

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Three sites featuring targeted capacity of 500MW each
Signed option to lease or purchase a total of 580 acres of land, with two sites located in North Texas and one site located in West Texas
Suitable for both HPC and bitcoin mining data centers
NEW YORK, Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cipher Mining Inc. (NASDAQ: CIFR) (“Cipher” or the“Company”) today announced it has signed option agreements to acquire the recently announced three sites in West and North Texas from Juvo Energy.
The three sites are adjacent to transmission assets and in the final stages of approval for interconnection with 500 MW targeted capacity per site. Cipher will be able to exercise the option in the next 24 months to acquire the sites, including 580 acres of land to be either leased or purchased. The ultimate purchase price to exercise the options for the sites will be determined by the number of megawatts actually approved for interconnection. The three sites all have the necessary characteristics for development of HPC data centers or bitcoin mining operations.
“We have seen increasing demand from hyperscalers for large sites that can be energized within the next three years. By getting involved earlier in the development timeline and process, we can source valuable sites that most of our competitors cannot, spend less for premium sites and improve long-term visibility for our supply chain management and construction functions. These new sites give us tremendous optionality on the expansion of our HPC hosting business,” said Tyler Page, Cipher's CEO.
With the addition of these new sites, Cipher's active portfolio and development pipeline will total 2.5 GW across 10 sites.

The cost of rising number of injuries in European soccer nears $800 million, report finds
MANCHESTER, England (AP) — The rising number of injuries to top soccer players came at a cost of nearly $800 million to teams across Europe’s leading leagues last season, according to a report published Tuesday.
At a time when there are growing concerns about the number of games players are being asked to play, the Men’s European Football Injury Index found there were 4,123 injuries in the top divisions of England, Spain, Germany, Italy and France in the 2023-24 campaign.
The cost of the injuries was based on the reported salaries of the players concerned and the amount of time they were sidelined for.
The report highlighted a greater strain on clubs as a result of the newly expanded Club World Cup, which will be staged in America next year.
The number of injuries has risen year-on-year since the index was first published in 2021 and the latest report said “it would be fair to expect a continuation of this upwards trajectory.
“The squad depth of clubs will continue to be tested, particularly with the impending introduction of the new FIFA Men’s Club World Cup in 2025.”
The index is produced by sports insurance firm Howden. Its publication comes a day after a players union and European leagues filed a formal complaint to the European Union against world governing body FIFA.
The 32-team Club World Cup — up from seven — has faced consistent pushback over concerns about player welfare since its new extended format was announced last year.
Last month Man City midfielder Rodri said players were close to going on strike in the face of increased demands on them — including an expanded Champions League this year. The Spain international suffered a season-ending knee injury days after those comments.
The football index has tracked a rise in injuries even before the expanded Club World Cup and Champions League.
It said there had been 14,292 — excluding COVID-19 — in the top five European leagues dating back to the 2020-21 season. That came at a cost of $2.5 billion based on the reported salaries.
Last season alone the figure was $798 million.
On average there was an injury every 92 minutes of football involving teams across those leagues.
It found that German teams suffered the most injuries per game (1.72). German teams also made up the top 13 places in terms of injury susceptibility and accounted for 15 of the top 20.
Of the teams least susceptible to injury, the top four were all from the French league.
The report said there was a “concerning trend” surrounding players under the age of 21, who were sustaining an increase of severe injuries.

NEW YORK – The largest retail trade group in the United States said Tuesday that it expects consumers to spend more during the upcoming holiday shopping season but the growth in sales to be slower than last year due to concerns over persistent inflation and prices.
The National Retail Federation said its 2024 forecast indicates that shoppers will make $979.5 billion to $989 billion worth of purchases in November and December, which would represent a 2.5%-3.5% increase over the same two-month period a year ago.

However, the $955.6 billion spent during the 2023 holiday shopping season was 3.9% more than in 2022.
This year's predicted pace is consistent with the average increase of 3.6% from 2010 to 2019. During the coronavirus pandemic, Americans ramped up their spending. Holiday season sales rose 9% in 2020 from the year before, and they soared 12.4% in 2021, according to the National Retail Federation.
The trade group makes its calculations based on government figures. The numbers exclude sales at automobile dealers, gasoline stations and restaurants.
The forecast considers economic indicators such as employment, wages, consumer confidence, disposable income, consumer credit, previous retail sales and weather.
“Interest rates are still a little higher than they were in recent memory,” National Retail Federation CEO and President Matt Shay said during a call with reporters. "Consumers do have those interest rates and the lingering inflation on their minds. So we expect that consumers will continue to be more price-conscious and pragmatic in their spending decisions.”
The retail federation issued its look-ahead as the data shows U.S. consumers continuing to spend, powered by sturdy hiring, low unemployment and healthy household finances. Moreover, gas prices are coming down, leaving a little extra money for shoppers to spend on gifts. The national average price for a gallon of unleaded gasoline was $3.2 on Tuesday; a year ago, it was $3.60, according to auto club AAA.
But there are plenty of challenges this season, including a presidential election that could create a big distraction from shopping in November. NRF officials said it was nearly impossible to measure the election's impact on current or future spending.
With Thanksgiving falling on Nov. 28, there also will be six fewer days between the holiday and Christmas Day compared to last year. Other factors that could hurt holiday sales: the economic impact of hurricanes Helene and Milton, NRF officials said.
Walmart, the nation’s largest retailer, plans to advertise savings on Thanksgiving meal products starting Oct. 14, about two weeks earlier than last year.
NRF’s forecast was in line with the predictions of other analysts, which also point to a more restrained mood among shoppers.
Management consulting firm Bain & Co. said it anticipated November and December retail sales to rise by 3% as opposed to the 4.2% growth seen last year. AlixPartners, another consulting firm, expects sales for October through December to be up anywhere from 2% to 5%, lower than last year’s 6% increase. Consulting and research firm Customer Growth Partners predicted sales to grow 4% during the holiday period, just slightly below its figure from last year.
Meanwhile, Adobe Analytics predicts online sales will surge 8.9%, marking the highest spending pace since 2021 when it was 8.6%. A year ago, online sales were up 4.9%, compared with the previous year. Vivek Pandya, lead analyst, Adobe Digital Insights, noted that shoppers’ bigger interest in discounts will drive spending. Discounts should average about 30%, the same as a year ago, he said.
While the inflation rate is coming down, it’s still a big pocketbook issue for shoppers as many food items still cost considerably more than they did a few years ago.
James Zahn, editor-in-chief of industry trade publication The Toy Book, thinks shoppers are even more price-conscious than they were last year when it comes to buying toys. Toys under $20 are resonating with parents, he said.
Kohl’s executives said last week that shoppers, particularly those in lower income brackets, will feel more squeezed than a year ago.
Christie Raymond, Kohl’s chief marketing officer, said the cumulative impact of high prices on food and other essentials is eating into people's savings. As part of its holiday strategy, Kohl’s plans to be aggressive with offering discounts. As for the presidential race, Kohl’s executives said they were not sure if consumers will hold back their buying ahead of the Nov. 5 election but it’s something they are monitoring.
“We’re just trying to follow the consumer, and we know that they’re going to feel squeezed once that Thanksgiving time frame hit,” Raymond told reporters.

There’s a valley in rural southwest Utah that’s become a hub for renewable energy. Dozens of tall white wind turbines whoosh up in the sky. A sea of solar panels glistens in the distance.
But the new kid on the block is mostly hidden underground.
From the surface, Fervo Energy’s Cape Station looks more or less like an oil derrick, with a thin metal tower rising above the sagebrush steppe.
But this $2 billion geothermal project, which broke ground last year, is not drilling for gas. It’s drilling for underground heat that CEO Tim Latimer believes holds the key to generating carbon-free power — lots of it.
“Just these three well pads alone will produce 100 megawatts of electricity. Around-the-clock, 24/7 electricity,” he said.
Latimer stood overlooking the project, which is currently under construction, on one of the drill rig’s metal platforms 40 feet off the ground. This well is one of the 24 Fervo is in the process of completing at Cape Station to harness the Earth’s natural heat and generate electricity.
Not your father's geothermal energy
This isn’t the type of geothermal that’s already active in volcanic hot spots like Iceland or The Geysers project in California. It’s called an enhanced geothermal system.
Cold water goes down into a well that curves like a hockey stick as it reaches more than 13,000 feet underground. Then the water squeezes through cracks in 400-degree rock. The water heats up and returns to the surface through a second well that runs parallel to the first. That creates steam that turns turbines to produce electricity, and the water gets sent back underground in a closed loop.
This horizontal well technique has been pioneered at a $300 million federal research project called Utah FORGE located in this same valley, which has paved the way for private companies to take the tech and run with it.
Recent innovations like better drill bits — made with synthetic diamonds to eat through hard subterranean granite — have helped Fervo drill its latest well in a quarter of the time that it took just a couple of years ago. That efficiency has meant an 80% drop in drilling costs, Latimer said.
Last year, Fervo’s pilot project in Nevada used similar techniques to begin sending electricity to a Google data center. And the company’s early tests at Cape Station in Utah show the new project can produce power at triple the rate of its Nevada pilot.
“This is now a proven tech. That's not a statement you could have made two or three years ago,” Latimer said. “Now, it just comes down to how do we get more of these megawatts on the grid so we have a bigger impact?”
This summer, this type of geothermal got one step closer to Americans’ living rooms.
Fervo signed a landmark deal with Southern California Edison, one of the country’s largest electric utilities with 15 million customers. It will send the first 70 megawatts of geothermal juice to the grid in 2026. By the time the project is fully completed in 2028, this Utah plant will deliver 320 megawatts total — enough to power 350,000 homes.
Carbon-free mandates stimulate demand
California leaders set a mandate in 2018 requiring the state to have 100% renewable electricity by 2045. So, SoCal Edison spokesperson Reggie Kumar said adding geothermal makes sense.
“For California to achieve its decarbonization goals by 2045, the grid must expand faster than ever before. This means we need to take bold actions.”
The U.S. Department of Energy’s long-term goal is to multiply domestic geothermal capacity nearly 25-fold by 2050 — to a level that could power more than 65 million homes. The federal government is investing millions in geothermal projects to speed up geothermal’s deployment nationwide. The local geology in southwest Utah makes it a prime spot for tapping underground heat, but recent mapping from the National Renewable Energy Lab shows potential for enhanced geothermal to work across much of the West and even in some eastern states, such as Mississippi, Iowa and Pennsylvania.
Geothermal does currently cost more per megawatt hour than wind or solar, but those more-established renewables require big batteries to keep power flowing around the clock. Geothermal, on the other hand, has the potential to ramp up and down as needed to fill the gaps when it’s not sunny or windy, said Alexandra Gorin, who manages the carbon-free electricity team at sustainability think tank RMI.
“Theoretically, it offers a firmer, clean fuel source,” she said, “and so for utilities and grid operators that are concerned a lot about reliability and resource adequacy, geothermal has the potential to provide ... closer to 24/7 renewable.”
The fact that a giant utility like SoCal Edison made this type of deal sends a message to the broader energy market about geothermal’s viability, said RMI senior principal, Uday Varadarajan.
“It's saying something that they feel they need geothermal, even though they have so much wind, solar and storage. So I think it is a big deal.”
We won’t know for sure if geothermal can be a reliable utility-scale power source until it actually happens, Varadarajan said, but he’s cautiously optimistic. And if the Fervo project works, he said more companies could begin building additional geothermal projects for other utilities within just a few years.
“We do hope we will have other [renewable energy] options in the next decade, but geothermal is something that can start scaling by the end of this decade,” he said. “That few years can make an enormous difference for competitiveness [and] for climate.”
Enhanced geothermal has potential to scale quickly, in part, because it borrows a lot of tech and know-how from the industry many would like to see it replace: fossil fuels. Fervo is even based in Houston — Oiltown USA — and a majority of the company’s employees came from the fossil fuel industry.
Scalable with off the shelf technology
Eric Williams, for example, spent decades working in oil and gas but now oversees safety at the Fervo project in Utah. Switching industries didn’t change his daily tasks, he said, but it did change the way he feels about his job.
“You say you work in the oil and gas industry, sometimes people go, ‘Ehhhh.’ But when you say geothermal and when you say renewable, sustainable ... a lot of people go, ‘Wow,’” Williams said. “So when I do tell people about what I do out in the world, I'm proud.”
That illustrates another reason why geothermal could help the U.S. chart a path to a cleaner energy future, said CEO Tim Latimer. A lot of fossil fuel operations will be phased out to fight climate change. And a lot of oil and gas workers will need a landing spot.
Geothermal could help with both transitions, he said, if the project in Utah is the start of something bigger.
“When we stand here 10 or 20 years from now, our hope is not only was this a successful project, but it was a template for something that we could repeat dozens and even hundreds of times all over the world.”

Things We Learned About Lisa Marie Presley After She Died
Lisa Marie Presley lived an extraordinary life by just about any measure. She was the only child of Elvis Presley, and as such, a famous figure quite literally throughout her entire life. As a daughter of the world's arguably most famous musician, she was essentially doomed to live in her superstar father's shadow, but nevertheless tried to carve her own legacy in the music business. Her personal life included high-profile relationships with two other extremely well-known people, Nicolas Cage and Michael Jackson. Tragically, she also dealt with substance abuse and one of her children died by suicide.
What's more, all of this happened in just 54 years, because her rollercoaster of a life ended early in a tragic fashion. The heart-wrenching death of Lisa Marie Presley came unexpectedly on January 13, 2023, and the shocking news also revealed some new information about her. Though many parts of her life were under intense media scrutiny, she had nevertheless managed to hold on to some secrets that only transpired after her tragically early demise. This was because certain events took place so shortly before she died, and because the public simply didn't get to know some sides of her while she was still alive. Here's what the world learned about Presley after her death.
Complications from a past surgery killed Lisa Marie Presley
Lisa Marie Presley's cause of death took a while to figure out. When her ex-husband Danny Keough found her in her bedroom on January 12, 2023, it was initially thought that she'd had a cardiac arrest. However, the autopsy report that was released on July 2023 revealed that while a cardiac event contributed to her death, its ultimate cause was a different and far more drawn-out medical situation.
Presley's real cause of death was a small bowel obstruction. On the whole, this is a condition where a blockage in the small intestine prevents digestion, essentially causing the things a person eats and drinks to stop moving through their system. This may damage the gastrointestinal tissues and even burst the bowel, which can cause the contents to leak into the abdominal cavity and create a life-threatening infection.
In Presley's case, the condition was caused by complications from a past weight loss procedure called bariatric surgery, which had caused scar tissue to form in her small bowel. She'd had the surgery several years ago, and the obstruction the scar tissue caused was ultimately the reason for the cardiac arrest she was hospitalized for. This turned out to be so serious that it damaged her brain, and she ultimately had another, fatal cardiac arrest at the hospital. Apart from all this, the autopsy also found that her body had built up acid, which implied her kidneys weren't working properly.
Her death had eerie similarities to Elvis' demise
Lisa Marie Presley's premature death inevitably drew comparisons to the story of Elvis Presley's tragic death. The final 12 months of Elvis' life were marked by rampant drug misuse and self-destructive behavior before he died in a Graceland bathroom at just age 42. However, in this case, such comparisons may be warranted. While there were differences in the circumstances of their deaths, there are a number of eerie similarities in the way the famous father and daughter passed away.
Both Presleys' deaths involved cardiac events, and it's worth noting that they're not even the only ones in their family to suffer such a fate. Elvis' mother Gladys Presley also died of a cardiac arrest – at the same age he did, no less. What's more, Lisa Marie and Elvis had both been dealing with colon-related medical issues before their deaths. Lisa Marie's autopsy report revealed that the cause of her death was a small bowel obstruction. Meanwhile, medical professionals have suspected that Elvis' heart attack may potentially have been caused by overt physical straining, due to the rock star's chronic constipation.
Another link between Elvis and Lisa Marie's deaths is that both had several drugs in their blood, though not in fatal doses. Lisa Marie, who had struggled with addiction in the past and took a number of medications, was found to have used oxycodone and multiple other prescription drugs, while Elvis' body had remnants of a vast cocktail of prescription opiates.
She dealt with grief and dark thoughts
After Lisa Marie Presley's death, her mother Priscilla Presley revealed that she had been in a pretty dark place before she passed away. According to her, much of this had to do with Lisa Marie's son Benjamin Presley, who died by suicide in 2020 .
In an interview with "Piers Morgan Uncensored" (via E! Online), Priscilla shared a haunting memory of a late-game interaction with her daughter. "We were in Memphis, we were sitting up in a suite and she said, 'Mom, I don't know if I want to be here,'" she said. "I go, 'What are you talking about?' And she'd go on about Ben and how she is still grieving." After a follow-up question, she also expressed her belief that Lisa Marie's comments meant she didn't wish to be alive anymore.
Lisa Marie Presley was open about the profound way her son's death impacted her. In 2022, mere months before her death, she wrote an essay for People where she analyzed the concept of grief. "Grief is something you will have to carry with you for the rest of your life, in spite of what certain people or our culture wants us to believe," she wrote. "You do not 'get over it,' you do not 'move on,' period." Priscilla Presley's comments indicate that Lisa Marie indeed hadn't moved on in the days leading up to her death, making the essay a testament to the pain she felt until the end.
Lisa Marie Presley lived in physical pain for months
Lisa Marie Presley's autopsy report may have shed some light on the dramatic circumstances of her death from small bowel obstruction, but it also revealed tragic details about her final months. The weight loss surgery that caused the intestinal scarring that led to her death had taken place years ago, and the complications it caused had created numerous, extremely painful-sounding symptoms that plagued her in the months leading to her death.
The report revealed that Presley had been suffering from abdominal pain for several months before her death. Her symptoms also included nausea, vomiting, and fever-like sensations. While she had a cosmetic surgery procedure during her final months and was later treated for a subsequent infection, it appears she didn't get medical help for these symptoms, excruciating as they sound.
Presley kept the bariatric surgery procedure that ultimately killed her hidden from even some of her closest friends and acquaintances, who were surprised to learn about it after her death. It's unclear whether this was a factor in her decision to not seek help for her abdominal symptoms, but the very idea that she may have suffered for months before her death is an unnerving thought that adds an extra layer of tragedy to her sad fate.
She died in deep debt but had a massive life insurance
There are many famous rock stars who are surprisingly poor and even musicians who died penniless, but you wouldn't necessarily expect a musician who also happens to be the sole child of Elvis Presley to rank among them. However, this was the case with Lisa Marie Presley, whose debt at the time of her death may have been as much as $4 million.
This information surfaced in November 2022 during her custody case with Michael Lockwood, but major outlets only really started covering it after she died. Apart from the $4 million debt, she also said she owed $1 million to the IRS. As it turned out, after her death, she had a sizeable life insurance policy that paid out a total of $25 million to her three children and her half-brother.
Lisa Marie Presley inherited Elvis' wealth after he died, gained access to his estate after she turned 25 in 1993, and sold off 85% of her ownership in 2004. This netted her around $100 million, and Graceland stayed in her hands. However, come 2018, she sued her business manager and claimed his mismanagement had sent her $16 million in debt. Compared to this situation, her money situation at death doesn't seem quite as bad as it once was — and her life insurance threw yet another curveball at her complicated finances, allowing her to posthumously provide its recipients financial security despite her own struggles with money.
She shared a fun moment with her mother just before her death
Despite the grief and health issues she was dealing with, Lisa Marie Presley was still able to find joy in life. What's more, she was still able to enjoy the company of her mother Priscilla Presley, despite the often difficult relationship between them. According to Priscilla, the mother and the daughter had a spontaneous bit of fun just before the 2023 Golden Globes, mere days before Lisa Marie's death on January 13.
"We had just gotten there, you go down all these stairs," Priscilla Presley told The Hollywood Reporter. "I tripped a little bit because I had these high heels on, and she started laughing so hard. I started laughing. We hadn't even had a drink yet. She goes, 'Oh my God, Mom, you can't even have a drink.' ... It was fun, a fun memory."
It may be comforting to think that even with the pain Lisa Marie was dealing with, she was able to share a moment of genuine joy with her own mother. Unfortunately, this heartwarming moment soon ended when the impending tragedy stepped in with a painful warning. "Then we sat down and ordered drinks, and she says, 'Mom, my stomach hurts really bad.' We immediately got up and left," Priscilla recounted the grim follow-up to the moment of shared laughter.
She went through a dangerous-sounding crash diet for the Golden Globes
With Baz Luhrmann's 2022 movie "Elvis," it's only natural to expect that there would be plenty of fresh interest in Lisa Marie Presley and the rest of the family in the media. After Presley's death, it turned out that her answer to said interest was to embark on a secret and rapid weight loss regime for the 2023 Golden Globes, possibly losing as much as 50 pounds in just six weeks. "She wanted to look her very best," an unnamed friend told Page Six.
Presley had a self-admitted history of experimenting with various fashionable diets, but in 2014, she told People that she had found that simple clean living is the best fit for her. "Knowing my family history – my father's side is totally not healthy and they have shorter life spans, while my mom's side is super fit with long life spans — I didn't know where I would land," she said. "So I said, 'Okay. I'm going to play it safe and try to be as healthy as I can be.'"
Unfortunately, it appears that the healthiness approach didn't last, and she resorted to more extreme weight loss methods. While her autopsy report didn't associate crash dieting with her death, the weight loss surgery she'd had some years ago did end up causing the small bowel obstruction that proved fatal.
Pat Boone revealed his ominous final meeting with Lisa Marie
When a celebrity dies, family, friends, and other acquaintances may find themselves reflecting on their last interactions with the dearly departed, and sharing their experiences with the world. In an interview with the U.S. Sun, singer and friend of the Presley family Pat Boone found himself in such a situation. He revealed that when he had visited Graceland for Elvis Week in August 2022, he interacted with both Lisa Marie and Priscilla Presley — and soon noticed that something wasn't right with the former. "I got to spend time with Lisa Marie and Priscilla. I could tell at that time Lisa Marie seemed down, seemed depressed," Boone recounted his experiences. "I felt something. I had, what's the word, ominous feelings about her, and of course it proved to be accurate. I didn't know it was serious enough for me to get involved."
Boone was in Graceland in an official capacity, appearing on two Elvis Week events to share stories and interact with the audience. As a veteran of the entertainment industry and someone who personally knew Elvis, he was aware of the personal and professional difficulties Lisa Marie Presley had to deal with while struggling with her father's overwhelming legacy. "I think she had a lot of disappointments and then the death of her son," he said. "I mean it was just too much."
An interviewer at the Golden Globes noticed something was wrong with her
Lisa Marie Presley died at a time when the spotlight on the Presley family shone even brighter than usual. Mere two days before her death on January 13, 2023, she had attended the 2023 Golden Globe awards, where Baz Luhrmann's "Elvis" biopic earned star Austin Butler an award for best actor in a drama motion picture. In her comments to the media and the attendees, she expressed happiness and gratefulness about the event and Butler's performance. However, one interviewer grew concerned about her condition, though he couldn't quite put a finger on what was wrong.
"Extra" host Billy Bush was present at the scene, and while interviewing Presley, he immediately realized that she didn't seem to be in full health. "She was very uneven in her balance," Bush commented on the experience of interviewing her for Fox 11 Los Angeles. "The speech was very slow. And, definitely, when the interview was over, I turned to my producer next to me and said, 'Something's off here.'
Bush wouldn't know that she was interviewing a dying woman until two days later, and as he noted, Presley was still able to function despite her frailty. "She was cognizant. She was certainly with it, just a second slow. But she was there. She was definitely there, but just a tad off in some way."
She was working on multiple books at the time of her death
Unbeknownst to many, Lisa Marie Presley was working on at least two different books at the time of her death. One was a collaborative memoir with her daughter Riley Keough, who entered the project at her mother's request in 2022 to move things along. Despite Presley's untimely death, Keough went on to complete the project, "From Here to the Great Unknown: A Memoir," which combines both Lisa Marie's and Riley's experiences to describe the former's truly uncanny life as Elvis Presley's daughter.
Apart from "From Here to the Great Unknown," Presley was also planning to work on another, at least as personal book project. Together with author and grief expert David Kessler, she was set to write a book on grief — a subject both of them knew well. "I met Lisa Marie after her son Ben died," he wrote on Instagram after her death. "She wanted to talk to me, not because I was a grief expert, but because I was someone who also had a child die. It became an improbable friendship but that is how grief works." It remains to be seen whether anything will come of this project, but since it appears to have been at an early stage, Presley's 2022 essay on grief for People – which features a link to Kessler's website — may be the closest thing to a collaboration between the pair we're going to get.

TORONTO — Thanksgiving Weekend presented by Purolator answered a few questions about teams and players across the league.
One of them was about the Saskatchewan Roughriders, who put on a dominant performance on both sides of the ball to clinch a home playoff game and set themselves up for a potential West Division title.
That also meant CFL Fantasy success, with Trevor Harris, Jerreth Sterns and the defence scoring plenty of points for fantasy owners.
The other one was about Brady Oliveira and his potential Most Outstanding Player bid. The veteran continues to put up numbers even when his team doesn’t perform well overall on offence.
Who else made this week’s top fantasy lineup? CFL.ca brings you Fantasy Rewind for Thanksgiving Weekend.

Trevor Harris, SSK – 18 Fantasy Points
Harris is having a potential MOP season and Thanksgiving Weekend was no different.
The pivot was nearly perfect in a high-stakes matchup against the BC Lions on Saturday, completing 25 of 30 passes for 271 yards and two touchdowns.
Brady Oliveira, WPG – 16.5
Speaking of MOP candidates, Oliveira was once again doing his thing even when his team struggled to produce on offence.
Oliveira finished with 105 yards from scrimmage, running 12 times for 64 yards and catching six passes for 41 more.
Justin Rankin, EDM – 14
Unlike Oliveira, Rankin did all his damage as a runner.
The young tailback rushed 10 times for 140 yards in the Elks win over the Calgary Stampeders.
Eugene Lewis, EDM – 24.1
Lewis also showed his dual-threat abilities in the win over the Stamps.
The veteran receiver caught six passes for 46 yards and a touchdown while also adding a 15-yard major on the ground to bolster his fantasy production and help his team capture the win.
Jerreth Sterns, SSK – 18
Sterns finished ahead of Samuel Emilus in fantasy points due to a touchdown connection with Harris.
Overall the receiver caught six passes for 60 yards and a major in a strength in numbers approach for the Riders passing offence.
Justin McInnis, BC -17.9
Even on a day when the Lions struggled to produce points, McInnis was still productive in fantasy.
The receiver led the Lions aerial attack once again by catching six passes for 119 yards in the loss to Saskatchewan.
Saskatchewan Roughriders – 17
Eight points allowed, three turnovers forced, one touchdown scored. The Riders defence did it all.

British former 'diplomat' promotes war against Iran
The Chatham House platform is used to promote regime change in Iran
An article has been published by UK Government/MI6 influencer Chatham House. In the article a former British Head of Mission in Burma, Jerusalem, Syria, Iraq, Libya, and Saudi Arabia, ‘Sir’ John Jenkins essentially promotes regime change in Iran on behalf of Israel.
Described as a Tehran focused policy, Jenkins lays out the potential hybrid warfare plans thus:
A new paradigm is needed, which centres on Tehran and its malign influence. Ideally this would mean a change in Iran itself. An extension of the current conflict to the country could destabilize the regime – something the leadership fears in the light of its massive domestic unpopularity. But, given its proven willingness to use lethal force to crush dissent, it would be unwise to count on significant change from within any time soon.
Jenkins recommends collaboration with the Gulf States, particularly those who have already normalised relations with the genocidal, apartheid so-called state of Israel, many of whom have no issue with increasing trade ties with Israel during the ongoing hourly slaughter of Palestinians in all the occupied and besieged territories.
Jenkins promotes the deeply compromised and Zionist-stooge PA as the “only available instrument” to “properly administer Gaza after the destruction of the last year”. Jenkins advocates the elimination of the Resistance groups in the region - Hezbollah, Hamas and the “Houthis” or Ansarullah as is their correct title.
It is not possible that Jenkins is unaware that the Zionist-alleged elimination of these groups is being used to justify mass slaughter of civilians, the majority being children, in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen.
He writes:
Above all, the US and its partners must keep close to Israel and provide iron-clad long-term security guarantees. That has to mean helping Israel neutralize Hezbollah and Hamas – and also the Houthis, who cannot be allowed to become a Hezbollah of the South.
Jenkins outlines the proposed policy to bring Iran to heel:
To begin, in Western countries the mosques, cultural centres, and bogus human rights organizations which Iran has used to shape opinion in its favour need to be closed.
Then there is the question of sanctions. The snapback provision of the JCPOA has expired. But there is scope for the UK to reimpose sanctions unilaterally, perhaps with allies within the EU. Domestic enforcement, financial intelligence and related security service capacity should also be strengthened.
The UK could also move with EU allies to proscribe the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization, granting more latitude for action against its funding. And real costs must be imposed on those who use brutal force to suppress legitimate protest within Iran.
In the military sphere, groups like Shia paramilitaries in Iraq and the Houthis must be hit hard every time they attack US and other targets. Iranian arms and oil smuggling must also be better combatted.
Of course, much of this strategy had been previously laid out in the 2009 Brookings Institute paper - Which Path to Persia: Options for a New American Strategy Towards Iran.
I asked former British Ambassador to Syria, Peter Ford, to critique the Jenkins article. Here is Peter’s response in full:
There was a time when Chatham House enjoyed widespread international respect for its objective analyses, despite its always being effectively the in house think tank for the Foreign Office. That time is no more. Chatham House is now Israeli-occupied territory.
John Jenkins' piece could have been written for him by the Israeli Embassy. The calls in it for Israel to be prepared to come to terms with the Palestinians are transparently a smokescreen for the the most rabid support of maximalist Israeli ambitions.
The giveaway is that Jenkins cannot actually bring himself to mention a Palestinian state. The quisling Palestine Authority is to be brought in on the back of Israeli tanks to administer Gaza on behalf of Israel but other than that Jenkins is revealingly coy.
For Jenkins the crucial thing, and he states this without shame, explicitly, is that Israel must be made to feel more secure. Of course it must. The most powerful military power in the region by far, demonstrating on a daily basis for over a year its crushing superiority over rag tag Arab armed groups deprived by the West of air defence that can be shot like fish in a barrel - yes, this depraved monster must be made to feel even more secure.
This is the same power that under the auspices of the so-called Middle East Peace Process, enjoying the most favourable security environment imaginable for an occupying power, not only dragged its feet for three decades over making 'concessions' (i.e. returning stolen land) but used the time to dot settlements all over the stolen land to make peace more and more impossible. And Jenkins says that we should all trust Israel to do the right thing once all its enemies have been neutralised, or, better, wiped from the map.
During his brief time as Ambassador to Damascus Jenkins was famous for two things: hating the Syrians, few of whom he deigned to meet, and bumping into a glass door injuring himself.
This is a man blinded by prejudice who cannot see plain facts staring him in the face.
One of those facts is that from 2006 until October 2023, Hizbollah, having thrown the Israelis back behind their own border (how Jenkins must have ground his teeth at that), kept that border remarkably quiet for 17 years, to the chagrin of Palestinian fedayeen. To pretend now that Hizbollah was set to attack Israel just beggars belief that anyone could be so intellectually dishonest.
Jenkins really is rabid. This comes out particularly when he speaks of Iran and its allies. You can hear the snarl in his voice. These are entities which have dared to resist the Israeli behemoth and frustrate Gulf princelings from consecrating to the full their longed-for trysts with Israel. Jenkins does not even shrink from calling for the closure of Iran-linked mosques, cultural centres and NGOs in Britain.
[Note: this has potential to lead to de facto ethnic persecution of Shia Muslim communities in the UK]
Jenkins comes from a long line of British diplomats who simply could not abide the idea of a strong independent Iran. Iranians will never forget the British role in the overthrow of the uppity Mossadeq and the installation of the brutal Shah. Not for nothing is Britain known as the 'Little Satan' to Iranians.
That a former British ambassador could write a piece like this without even pretending to be dismayed by the appalling human suffering being inflicted on Palestinians and Lebanese, and whose only glimmer of humanity comes in a reference to October 7, is numbingly shocking.
In the Westminster/Tel Aviv/ Abu Dhabi/Washington world in which Jenkins moves, however, he will get a pat on the back for helping to condition British public opinion for the coming war with Iran, because that is what his article is really about and why it was commissioned.
End of statement.
America is preparing for elections next month. Trump and “Team Unity” are being positioned by the Deep State to faciliate war with Iran. In lockstep, British regime messaging will also point towards the Path to Persia with Tony Blair back in charge, Keir Starmer acting as his useful front-man.

GUADALAJARA, Mexico -- As he sits fiddling with the strings on his hoodie in the Guadalajara sun, Malik Tillman's voice hardly rises. He's calm, as he always is. The 22-year-old midfielder rarely shows emotion. No matter the situation, Tillman remains stoic, reserved and, to be honest, just a little bit shy.
His voice may not rise often but, for a split second, a burst of passion comes out. That's because he has a confession to make: he knows what people think of him.
Tillman is naturally quiet, but he has become very aware of what his shyness portrays. He knows how it's perceived when he doesn't bat an eye, yell or react when things don't go his way or, more importantly, his team's way. He knows that there's a segment of U.S. men's national team fans that see him walking off the field emotionless and wonder one thing: why doesn't he feel this as much as we do?
From the outside, it may look like he doesn't care. Tillman sees that, feels that and understands that, but he's also determined to set the record straight.
Malik Tillman does, in fact, care, perhaps more than even those closest to him realize.
"Some people say I'm not interested in the game just from the way I look," Tillman tells GOAL, "but it really is more or less the other way around. That's just how I express myself. I'm a chill guy, and that's also me on the pitch. I might seem relaxed or seem like I don't care, but it really is the other way around.
"I mean, this is just how I am. This? This is how I can be the best I can be."
Tillman is reaching a point where the USMNT will need him to be at his best. With new coach Mauricio Pochettino leading the charge, there are big expectations now being placed on Tillman's shoulders, including from the coach himself. On the club level with PSV, Tillman is the best he's ever been. He's third in the Eredivisie with four goals and he leads the Dutch league in chances created with 21. The goal of being at the 2026 World Cup is in sight, particularly if he continues on the path he's currently on.
Tillman doesn't talk about his goals much. In fact, he doesn't talk about anything much. He generally keeps to himself, both on the field and off of it. Don't mistake his shyness for meekness, though. As he looks to make his mark and seize opportunities for club and country, he has one more message to send:
"As soon as the game comes, for me, I'm not afraid of anyone," he insists.
