Blackhawk, a leader in IoT and real-time digital transformation for remote and mobile assets, has signed a contract with Far North District Council (FNDC) to supply vehicle telematics systems, as well as a pool booking software solution, aiming to streamline FNDC’s fleet management across its range of vehicles.
FNDC’s Journey from Proof of Concept to Full Rollout
The agreement follows a successful proof of concept (PoC) phase, during which Blackhawk demonstrated the system’s return on investment and addressed key challenges faced by FNDC.
The Council initially approached Blackhawk with a series of operational challenges, including fragmented vehicle management across departments, reliance on manual updates for vehicle servicing and compliance data, gaps and inconsistencies in maintenance and compliance records, and a lack of visibility into vehicle utilisation.
FNDC also sought to address inefficiencies in manual pool vehicle booking processes, limited visibility on possible after-hours vehicle use, and the potential over-sizing of their fleet without supporting data to inform downsizing decisions.
During the PoC phase, Blackhawk supported FNDC to deploy plug-in GPS tracking hardware (OBDII), and test the Blackhawk Pool Booking application. Following this phase, FNDC made the decision to fully roll out Blackhawk’s system fleet-wide.
Client Testimonial
Tom Frost, Chief Digital Officer at FNDC, commented on the partnership: “We had been finding it difficult to stay on top of our fleet management, maintenance, and pool vehicle bookings. A number of our processes involved manual or paper-based processes, which led to a range of issues that we felt we could do better at. Working with Blackhawk.io has delivered immediate value, given us real data to make informed decisions, and automated many of the tasks we used to struggle with. After a successful trial phase, it was an easy decision to go with Blackhawk.”
Blackhawk’s Commitment to Supporting FNDC’s Operations
Keith Oliver, Chairman of Blackhawk.io, expressed pride in supporting FNDC: “Blackhawk is proud to be able to support an organisation like FNDC as it services the 74,700 residents of the Far North community. Their work is essential, and their fleet is key to enabling that work. FNDC’s requirements to gain efficiency around the management of their vehicle fleet is our specialty. We are thrilled to work with a team so dedicated to continuous improvement in their operations.”

Analysis: Spats, shoves, snubs and snapbacks have ruled the NFL sidelines in 2024
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 Ojai Film Festival has announced the lineup for its 2024 Diversity, Equity and Inclusion program in collaboration with NewFilmmakers Los Angeles and CineFemme.
“In the past year Hollywood has gone through a major shakeup caused by the WGA & SAGAFTRA Strikes, and the loss of leadership and momentum for DEI Programs,” said Rosa Costanza, special programs director at Ojai Film Festival, an Emmy-nominated producer and director. “The movie business is in a state of reinvention, so we need to discuss opportunities to step up in innovative ways for minority and diversity labeled filmmakers.”
The curated program of events highlights underrepresented voices in the film industry with the goal of creating a platform for them to share their work.
Taking place on Nov. 3, 2024 in Ojai, Calif., this year’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programming highlights the Ojai Film Festival’s commitment to fostering inclusivity in storytelling and amplifying the voices of filmmakers who identify as Women, Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC), Neurodiverse, and LGBTQIA+.
Also partnered in the program is Cinefemme, a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering female filmmakers with a mission to incubate and fund women’s films. Cinefemme will premiere its 2024 slate of sponsored films at the Cinefemme Sponsored Film Screening Block, taking place from 1 – 2:30 p.m. on Nov. 3. The film block highlights groundbreaking projects by women in tech, exploring subjects ranging from female founders to the true story of a Jewish grandmother’s escape from the Holocaust.
There will also be a career opportunities panel and roundtable discussion with panelists including Tema Staig, executive director of Women In Media, Michelle Ramirez, program manager of Group Effort Initiative, Daria Overby, executive director of creative diversity at Starz, and Joshua Walker, manager at the office of global inclusion at CBS/Paramount Global.

CAIRO – The Grand Egyptian Museum will partially open its main galleries on Wednesday, including 12 halls that exhibit aspects of ancient Egypt, as part of a trial run, officials said Tuesday.
The museum, a mega-project near the famed Giza Pyramids which has cost well over $1 billion so far, will open the halls for 4,000 visitors as a trial run until the official opening date, which is yet to be announced, according to Al-Tayeb Abbas, assistant to the minister of antiquities.
Recommended Videos
The opening of the museum, which has been under construction for more than a decade, has been repeatedly delayed for various reasons, including the COVID-19 pandemic.
More than 100,000 artifacts of Egypt’s ancient treasures will be displayed in the world’s largest archaeological museum, according to the Egyptian state information website.
Abbas told the AP that the trial run starting Wednesday would help prepare for the full opening by providing a deeper understanding of issues related to operations such as identifying overcrowded areas across the museum.
The displays across the 12 halls tap into issues related to society, religion, and doctrine in ancient Egypt, he added. All open-style halls have been classified by dynasty and historical order, and each will showcase at least 15,000 artifacts.
Eras that will be exhibited in the main galleries include the Third Intermediate Period (about 1070-664 B.C.), Late Period (664-332 B.C.), Graeco-Roman Period (332 B.C.-395 A.D.), New Kingdom (1550-1070 B.C.), Middle Kingdom (2030-1650 B.C.), and Old Kingdom (2649-2130 B.C.). One of the halls displays statues of “Elite of the King,” members of the royal family and high-ranking officials who worked in the army, priesthood, and the government.
Parts of the site have already been open for limited tours since late 2022 to test visitors’ experience and the museum’s operational preparedness.
Aude Porcedde, a Canadian tourist who visited several sections, told the AP she was amazed by the museum, adding that Egyptian civilization is important for her and for the world to know more about.
“There is a lot of history and a lot of things we are not aware of, especially coming from the other side of the world, and seeing everything here and learning from the locals has been great,” said Costa Rican tourist Jorge Licano.
The grand staircase, six stories high and with a view of the pyramids, and the commercial area are open to the public, showcasing monuments and artifacts that include sarcophagi and statues. Other parts of the museum, including the King Tutankhamun treasure collection, are set to open at later dates.
All halls are equipped with advanced technology and feature multimedia presentations to explain the lives of the ancient Egyptians, including its kings, according to Eissa Zidan, Director-General of the Preliminary Restoration and Antiquities Transfer at the museum.
One of the halls will use virtual reality to explain the history of burial and its development throughout ancient Egypt.
“The museum is not only a place to display antiquities, but it also aims to attract children to learn about ancient Egyptian history ... The museum is a gift to all the world,” Zidan told the AP.

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

MASKS – Faces of Us – Pop Up Exhibition
Saturday, 16th November / TAPAC Center / Western Springs 3:30 pm – 10 pm
RITUAL- ARTISTIC ENCOUNTER is a collective of professionals, artists and organisations with the mission to engage diverse ethnic groups, new migrants, refugees and other underserved communities through art, aiming to promote social inclusiveness and cultural pride.
This year RITUAL AE invites you to dive into the captivating world of MASKS. In addition to visual artworks from local and international artists with diverse cultural backgrounds, we’re showcasing an evening filled with live traditional and contemporary performances, theatre play, educational talks, contemporary and folkloric dances, live music, and interactive virtual installations.
From ancient rituals to contemporary society, Masks have been used for various purposes throughout history, including in ceremonial, theatrical, religious, and practical contexts
helping humans transcend universal challenges and emotions.
They often serve to conceal or transform one’s appearance, allowing wearers to adopt different identities or roles. Similarly, in the modern world, the persona is the mask we wear for social conformance and approval and amidst the glitter of media profiles and the weight of societal masks the quest for authenticity becomes a profound testament to inner strength and truth.
Don’t miss this unique experience! Join us on this enchanting journey through the artistic world of masks!

For Johnny and Matthew: Blue Jackets to play their home opener with Gaudreaus in mind
Johnny Gaudreau’s Columbus teammates have been given a few options for how to handle their emotions during the Blue Jackets’ home opener.
If you want to cry, cry.
If you want to laugh, laugh.
The only rules — play the game the way “Johnny Hockey” would, and with him in mind.
An emotional night awaits in Columbus on Tuesday, when the Blue Jackets host the Florida Panthers. It will be a night of tributes to Gaudreau, the Blue Jackets’ star who would have been entering his third season with the club and 11th NHL season overall, and his brother Matthew Gaudreau. They were killed on Aug. 29 when police said they were struck by a suspected drunken driver while they were riding their bicycles on a rural road in New Jersey on the eve of their sister Katie’s wedding.
“It’s such an unprecedented thing and something that obviously none of us wanted to go through, and nobody ever wants to go through it,” Blue Jackets coach Dean Evason said Monday as final preparations for the celebration of the Gaudreaus were being made. “But we have to.”
The 31-year-old Gaudreau wore jersey No. 13 for the Blue Jackets. Matthew Gaudreau — who was 29 and played five pro seasons in the American Hockey League, East Coast Hockey League and in Sweden — wore jersey No. 21. All 32 NHL teams are wearing decals on their helmets with 13, 21 and the letter G on their helmets through Oct. 24. USA Hockey has a similar tribute for its teams at all levels this year.
On Tuesday, the “13” tributes will be almost everywhere. Both the Blue Jackets and Panthers will take the ice for warmups wearing jerseys bearing the name Gaudreau and jersey number 13; those sweaters will be auctioned and raffled off to benefit the John and Matthew Gaudreau Foundation. There’s “13” on the ice behind the goals. All fans in attendance will receive a “13” patch, the ones Blue Jackets players will be wearing on their jerseys this season.
And they say the game starts at 7 p.m., but really, puck drop is at 7:13.
“Whatever they need,” Panthers coach Paul Maurice said Monday. “Whatever the fans need, whatever the team needs to start that healing process, we’d be proud to be a part of it.”
Gaudreau — all of 5-foot-9 and 165 pounds — was a star at Boston College before making it to the NHL, his debut coming in Calgary’s finale for the 2013-14 season. His first goal came on his first shot in his first game, and his star only kept shining brighter from there.
The player who fished the puck out of the net after Gaudreau’s first goal was Sean Monahan, his teammate then in Calgary and his teammate now in Columbus.
“I saw it firsthand. He had an impact on so many people,” Monahan said. “I mean, players that played against him are a fan of his and watch him and study his game and try and be like him.”
Monahan likely never aspired to be a donkey. Going forward, the Blue Jackets will clamor to be called one.
Johnny Gaudreau used that term — “donkey” — freely and endearingly around friends and teammates. The Blue Jackets have had a celebration for about a decade where the player of the game gets to wear a Civil War-style kepi hat, the recipient selected by the previous player recipient. The kepi is retired. The player of the game now gets a donkey hat. Monahan was the first to receive it.
“I’m really happy that we’ve kind of switched it up,” Blue Jackets defenseman Erik Gudbranson said. “I think it’s fitting for us. It was a great idea. And, you know, we wish the little guy was still here calling us that, But Monny is the right guy to get that the first time, for sure.”
Guy Gaudreau, the late brothers’ father and a longtime coach, was on the ice with the Blue Jackets for practice in Columbus on Monday and planned to be back for morning skate on Tuesday. Members of the family will be at the game. The tributes will not stop with this game. They’ll keep going, one way or another, for years to come.
“There’s going to be some tough moments, no doubt about it,” Gudbranson said. “We still miss him.”

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.
We know earnings results are vital, but how a company performs compared to bottom line expectations can be even more important when it comes to stock prices, especially in the near-term. This means that investors might want to take advantage of these earnings surprises.
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.
In fact, when we combined a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better and a positive Earnings ESP, stocks produced a positive surprise 70% of the time. Perhaps most importantly, using these parameters has helped produce 28.3% 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 Roku?
The final step today is to look at a stock that meets our ESP qualifications. Roku (ROKU) earns a #2 (Buy) 22 days from its next quarterly earnings release on November 6, 2024, and its Most Accurate Estimate comes in at -$0.32 a share.
Roku's Earnings ESP sits at +8.28%, which, as explained above, is calculated by taking the percentage difference between the -$0.32 Most Accurate Estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate of -$0.35. ROKU 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.
ROKU is just one of a large group of Consumer Discretionary stocks with a positive ESP figure. Las Vegas Sands (LVS) is another qualifying stock you may want to consider.
Las Vegas Sands is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock, and is getting ready to report earnings on October 16, 2024. LVS' Most Accurate Estimate sits at $0.58 a share one day from its next earnings release.
For Las Vegas Sands, the percentage difference between its Most Accurate Estimate and its Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.55 is +4.57%.
ROKU and LVS' positive ESP metrics may signal that a positive earnings surprise for both stocks is on the horizon.
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 >>

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court on Tuesday tossed out a decision allowing 18-year-olds to openly carry guns during emergencies in Pennsylvania.
There were no noted dissents in the high court's brief order. It lets stand a ban on people aged 18 to 20 carrying guns in public during a declared state of emergency.
Recommended Videos
The case comes amid major shifts in the firearm legal landscape following an influential Supreme Court decision in 2022 that expanded gun rights. The high court said any firearm restrictions must have a strong basis in history.
Multiple gun laws have been struck down in the wake of that ruling, including age restrictions, by judges in states like Minnesota, Virginia and Texas. The Pennsylvania challengers argued that younger people weren’t barred from carrying guns at the time of the nation’s founding, so they shouldn't be barred today.
But the Supreme Court handed down a new opinion this year that upheld a law intended to protect victims of domestic violence. The high court said Tuesday the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals should reconsider the Pennsylvania case in light of that decision.
Pennsylvania officials, for their part, had argued that there is a long tradition of limiting guns to people 21 and older dating back to the 1850s.

Arthur Ward/CFL.ca
Hello, Clarence Hicks.
That was one hell of an interception against the Elks on Saturday.
Elevation, a one-handed tip straight up, and then nabbing the ball as it and you were both crashing to Earth.

High art. Every time a big man gets an interception, an angel gets its wings.
Atta boy, Clarence.
Here are the Thanksgiving Weekend presented by Purolator takeaways.
IT’S TREVOR’S WORLD, CURRENTLY
Remember a few weeks ago when the Saskatchewan Roughriders were mired in a dismal slump, winless in seven and staring a missed playoff year dead in the eyes?
Nah, me neither.
After Saturday’s 39-8 thrashing of the visiting BC Lions, the Roughriders are winners of four in a row and turning their gaze to the possibility of hosting the Western Final.
Everything seems back in order for the Riders, including a rip-roaring streak being ridden by their quarterback, Trevor Harris, who went 25/30 against the Lions for 271 and a couple of touchdowns, posting an efficiency mark of 131.4, for gawd’s sake.
And that ain’t no one-off. Over Saskatchewan’s winning streak, Harris has gone 90/112 (80 percent completion rate) for 1,192 yards, and five touchdowns, throwing just two interceptions.
Name me a quarterback who’s on more of a heater right now. I’ll wait.
“I think we’re becoming who we want to be,” Harris told reporters after the win over BC. “And that’s a team that’s capable of beating anybody.”
BONUS TAKEAWAY: He ran for 84 yards on 16 carries and stiff-armed two different guys on one eight-yard power run. Now THAT’S the AJ Ouellette that we know.
EVERYBODY INTO THE POOL
The Toronto Argonauts dressed nine defensive linemen for their game against the Blue Bombers and then sent a blizzard of rotations at the Winnipeg offence in their 14-10 win on Friday night.
Eight of those linemen hit the stats sheet on defence (Tyson Hergott’s lone tackle was on special teams) with the unit racking up six of the Argos’ seven sacks on the night, led by Folarin Orimolade’s two. They accounted for 19 of Toronto’s tackles and if you want to add Hergott’s ST tackle along with those by Robbie Smith and Derek Parish, linemen nabbed 22 of Toronto’s 59 total tackles on the night.
“The more the merrier” strategy certainly worked wonders for Toronto in this one. After big wins against Montreal and Winnipeg, that Toronto defence looks like it is ramping up at precisely the right time.
BONUS TAKEAWAY: We were reminded that a fully-healthy, fully-speeding Wynton McManis is really something to behold.
IT’S LIKE THAT SCENE FROM ‘PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES’
“You’re going the wrong way,” the couple in the other car yell at John Candy and Steve Martin in that beauty of a film.
The BC Lions and the Ottawa REDBLACKS are Del Griffith and Neal Page, right now, making their way at a pretty good clip in the wrong direction, after Week 19 losses.
The REDBLACKS, once in firm control of second in the East, have lost four-straight now, taking them out of that seat, relegating them to third place behind the momentum-building Argos. The Lions, once with thoughts of perhaps rallying to a first place finish in the West, have lost three of their last four, after first impressing so many of us with a signature win against the Alouettes in Montreal in Week 14.
“When they do get our best shot we’re pretty good,” said an obviously disappointed Lions’ head coach Rick Campbell after his team’s thud in Regina.
In Montreal, REDBLACKS head coach Bob Dyce lamented his team’s propensity to take penalty after penalty after penalty against the Alouettes.
“We’ll take care of that this week,” he told TSN 1220 Radio afterward.
The good news is that just like the heroes of the film, while the struggles of the REDBLACKS and Lions might be real – and sometimes dispiriting – time has not yet run out.
IF DEFENCE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS WE’VE GOT SOME PRETTY GOOD CANDIDATES MAKING CASES FOR THEMSELVES
Goal line stands, acrobatic interceptions, overwhelming pressure and rally-to-the-ball hustle were all on full display in Week 19.
Why, Winnipeg coach Mike O’Shea was asked, couldn’t the Bombers’ offence move down the field at will against the Toronto Argonauts?
“Playing a good defence,” O’Shea replied with a laugh that suggested a level of incredulity. “You gotta give SOME credit to the opposition. We didn’t just stop ourselves, right?”
Toronto’s defence. Winnipeg’s defence. Saskatchewan’s, Montreal’s, too. And even Ottawa’s (minus the avalanche of first half penalties) can be counted in the group of CFL defences that showed up to strut their stuff in Week 19 and, in most cases, prior to it as well.
Good luck, offensive coordinators.
I THINK BRETT LAUTHER’S GONNA BE ALRIGHT AFTER ALL
Remember a few weeks ago, when Roughriders’ placekicker Brett Lauther had a miserable game against Montreal and missed four of seven field goal attempts in a game the Riders lost by three?
Nah, me neither.
Riders coach Corey Mace does and he wasn’t shy about reminding the doubters that so many of them wanted Lauther released after that game.
“He had a rough night, one night, and everybody was ready to say goodbye,” said Mace of Lauther, who went 6/6 against the Lions. Then Mace grinned, raised his eyebrows and cocked his head as though to say “okay, then, buddy.”
Since that horror show of a game, Lauther has been good on 26 of 27 attempts, and that includes a streak of his last 20 in a row. The last kick he missed? On the final play of the Labour Day Game.
Brett Lauther’s just fine.
“We’re happy he’s here,” said Mace.
AND FINALLY… We don’t talk enough about Isaac Adeyemi-Berglund.

James Franklin has a problem. So, too, does Kevin Hambly.
Franklin is the head football coach at Penn State and Hambly is the volleyball coach at Stanford. While they lead teams in different sports, their issue has its roots in the same source: the greed of those who run college football.
Franklin’s dilemma is that because the conference the Nittany Lions belong to, the Big Ten, a mostly Midwestern league, took in four schools from the West Coast – Oregon, Washington, UCLA and Southern Cal – he has to go on road trips to the Pacific time zone.
Unfortunately for Franklin, the runway at the regional airport in State College, Pennsylvania is 6,701 feet long.
While that’s 20 times the length of a football field, it’s not long enough to accommodate larger planes with higher fuel loads that can make cross-country flights, like the one Penn State had to take recently to go to Los Angeles to play USC.
As a result, Franklin’s team had to take a two-hour bus ride to Harrisburg to catch said flight and leave a day earlier than usual. Going forward, Franklin would like for the State College airport to extend the length of the runway so his team can jet west without a bus.
Meanwhile, Hambly’s problem is that because the four schools that bolted from the Pac-12 for the Big Ten, weakened the West Coast league that had been in business for decades, other universities, like Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado and Utah, all scattered too to find new athletic homes.
As a result, Stanford and Cal, two sterling academic institutions which don’t have particularly strong football footprints, also had to scramble to find a league for their teams to play. They ended up in the Atlantic Coast Conference, a league that, at last check, is nowhere near the Pacific Ocean.
Hambly’s volleyball team, a national championship contender, will travel close to 34,000 miles this year, more than any other fall program in college athletics. Yahoo Sports reports that the 25,000 miles the Cardinal will fly just for ACC games is more than the circumference of the Earth.
To his credit, Hambly has taken all of this in stride, quipping that his frequent flier status on United is already Premier One K and could get higher.
But this is no laughing matter, not for those who still hold on to the quaint notion of college athletics operating to make students more well rounded, athletically, intellectually and personally.
Increasingly, however, the world of intercollegiate athletics continues to more closely resemble prostitution, with heretofore pristine academic institutions putting themselves on the stroll for more football bucks, the only question being the price they’re willing to set for their virtue.
While grabbing all that gridiron scratch, these schools are putting the less visible programs like soccer, swimming, track and, yes, volleyball and those athletes in jeopardy.
And there’s no sign that this fever will soon break. Having just expanded the college football playoff field from four to 12, there will likely be nothing to slow further conference realignment, short runways and long volleyball journeys notwithstanding.
And that’s how I see it for this week. You can reach us via email with your questions and comments at Sports at Large at gmail.com. And follow me on Threads and X at Sports at Large.
Until next week, for all of us here and for producer Spencer Bryant, I’m Milton Kent. Thanks for listening and enjoy the games.

Cavendish, who this year claimed a record 35th stage win on the Tour de France, is expected to retire from professional cycling at the end of the year.
"I will always ride my bike, but I want to run now," Britain's Cavendish, who won the Tour de France sprint on the Champs Elysees in 2012, said in an interview with Men's Health.
"It's pure - get your shoes on and off you go! I've already agreed to do the Paris Marathon with my brother. He started cycling before I did, and he was better than I was.
"(In the) past four years, he's started to get fit. He's riding and started running. For the first time since we were kids, he's lighter than me."
Cavendish said he has not "entirely committed" to what he will do next but is focused on completing his year with the Tour of Saitama and the Singapore Criterium.
"I'm still racing this year, I'm contracted until December. I've got races in the Far East in October," said Cavendish, who rides for the Astana Qazaqstan Team.
"What is guaranteed is that I'm never doing the Tour de France again. That's a dead cert."
Cavendish hinted at a management role in cycling.
"I will always ride a bike, but the past few years I've known what I want to do after," he said. "I've set the wheels in motion for that. I want to stay in management in the sport, I still love it.
"I brought a lot of people to this team (Astana Qazaqstan) over the past two years, and I know what it takes to be successful. I've been building up to the moment I'm not racing."

The Cardinals have faced a rough patch recently, sliding down the NFL rankings over the past few seasons. Once considered a team on the rise, Kyler Murray's injury, paired with past mismanagement by former GM Steve Keim and ex-coach Kliff Kingsbury, has dropped Arizona to the league's basement.
A turnaround doesn’t seem imminent. After a tough season, the Cardinals managed only four wins, ultimately securing the draft rights to former Ohio State's standout receiver, Marvin Harrison Jr, who's had a promising start to his NFL career.
However, the team still has numerous holes throughout its roster, weaknesses that may be exploited in one of the NFL's toughest divisions.
Looking forward to watching the Cardinals NFL games? Please read our guide below to find out which TV channels and streaming services you need to watch every Cardinals game throughout the season.
Arizona Cardinals 2024 NFL Fixtures
Here is the list of Arizona Cardinals NFL fixtures for the 2024 regular season:
How to watch Arizona Cardinals NFL games in local markets
You can watch the Arizona Cardinals this season on CBS, ESPN, FOX, ABC, NBC, and Amazon Prime Video (which has the exclusive rights to broadcast Thursday Night Football nationally). You'll also find extra coverage on NFL Network and NFL RedZone.
Paramount+ offers the streaming option for CBS, while Fubo provides both CBS and FOX coverage as well as ABC and NFL Network. In Week 7, the Cardinals will host the Los Angeles Chargers on Oct. 21 for a Monday Night Football showdown. This matchup will not be aired live on ESPN or ABC. Instead, fans can catch it exclusively on ESPN+, ESPN’s subscription streaming service. This move aligns with the NFL's ongoing shift toward streaming platforms, moving some games beyond traditional cable access.
However, this only covers games that are broadcast locally. For the 2024 season, Netflix is not required for Arizona games, although die-hard NFL fans may want to check it out for other games scheduled on Christmas. If you reside outside the local market and want to watch Arizona Cardinals games, you'll need to subscribe to NFL Sunday Ticket, which is your gateway to out-of-market matchups.
If you require a cable, satellite, or live TV streaming service that includes all the NFL channels (ESPN, NFL Network, and local channels), be sure to check out our comprehensive guide below.
How to watch Arizona Cardinals NFL games with Satellite TV
Satellite TV, which beams programming to viewers via satellite dishes, remains a popular choice for catching NFL action, offering broader coverage compared to standard cable.
Providers like DIRECTV and DISH bring fans most local channels for the 2023 NFL season, giving access to both in-market and out-of-market games. By opting for extra packages, you can unlock additional networks like ESPN for even more coverage.
However, just like with cable, satellite services can come with a hefty price tag, so it's essential to weigh your options before committing. You don't want to find yourself shelling out more than necessary for your NFL fix. OTT streaming services offer the same top-tier programming you can get from your local cable provider at a fraction of the price.
How to watch Arizona Cardinals for free (through antenna)
Most Cardinals games can be watched for free using an over-the-air (OTA) antenna. This setup allows fans to access NFL channels such as ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC, provided they reside within their coverage area. Visit 506sports.com/nfl to see which games will be shown in your area.
Each year, these prominent broadcast stations feature numerous Cardinals games, including playoff clashes and the Super Bowl. Thus, installing an OTA antenna is a cost-effective way to enjoy a wealth of football without incurring monthly fees.
To find out which channels are available in your region, enter your zip code into the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Reception Map Tool.
How to watch the 2024-25 Cardinals season without cable
Streaming services are rapidly becoming the primary method for fans to watch NFL games, thanks to a growing array of providers in the market.
There is a wide selection of streaming options available, ranging from those that offer specific broadcast packages, such as Prime Video and YouTube TV, to more flexible choices like Sling TV and Hulu Live TV, which allow users to customize their channel selection.
No cable or satellite TV subscription is needed. Start watching with a free trial.
How to watch Cardinals NFL games on DirecTV Stream
DirecTV Stream serves as the online counterpart to the DirecTV satellite service, taking over from AT&T TV and AT&T TV Now.
The starting price for DirecTV Stream plans is $80 per month, which includes around 90 channels. Viewers can catch NFL games on all four major broadcast networks—ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC—in most areas, along with ESPN.
Recently, the service has also added the NFL Network and NFL RedZone to its offerings as part of the Choice plan for $108.99 per month.
It does not provide direct access to the exclusive "Thursday Night Football" games available on Amazon Prime Video, but if you live in the local market of either of the teams playing on Thursday, you should be able to watch the game on an over-the-air antenna or local FOX/CBS affiliate. You can use DirecTV Stream's channel lookup tool to see which local channels are available where you live.
🏷️💸SALE:- Choose $15 OFF each month for the first 2 months of Entertainment with Sports Pack or $20 OFF each month for the first 3 months of Choice or Ultimate
How to watch Arizona Cardinals NFL games on YouTube TV
YouTube TV is an excellent choice for Cardinals fans looking to catch all the action this NFL season. With CBS, ESPN, FOX, and NBC in its channel lineup, you'll have access to the vast majority of Arizona games, including primetime matchups and nationally televised contests.
But YouTube TV doesn't stop there. As one of the few streaming services to offer the NFL RedZone Channel, you can enjoy the thrilling moments when teams drive into the red zone on Sunday afternoons.
However, if you're a die-hard Cardinals supporter who wants to catch every single Arizona game, regardless of market, the NFL Sunday Ticket add-on is a must-have. This premium package, available on YouTube TV, provides access to all out-of-market Sunday afternoon games throughout the regular season.
While the NFL Sunday Ticket add-on comes at an additional cost of $379 for the season, it's a small price to pay for the dedicated fan who refuses to miss a single snap. You can even enhance your experience by bundling it with the NFL RedZone Channel for an extra $10.99 per month, allowing you to witness every red zone opportunity across the league.
It's important to note that if you're solely interested in NFL Sunday Ticket or the NFL RedZone Channel, you have the flexibility to purchase them as standalone offerings without subscribing to YouTube TV.
How to watch Arizona Cardinals NFL games on Hulu Live TV
Hulu + Live TV provides a comprehensive solution for streaming NFL games, offering nearly everything you need for $77 per month. This service grants access to all local NFL games in your area, barring any blackouts, and includes channels like ESPN and the NFL Network.

How to watch Arizona Cardinals NFL games on Sling TV
If you're a football fan looking for an affordable way to stream live games, Sling TV is a budget-friendly alternative that provides access to most of the essential channels at a lower cost compared to other live TV streaming services like Hulu or FuboTV.

The Sling Blue plan offers NFL Network, as well as Fox and NBC in select regions, while the Sling Orange plan provides access to ESPN. It's important to note that Sling TV does not carry CBS. For the most comprehensive NFL coverage throughout the season, we recommend opting for the Sling Orange + Blue plan, as it grants you access to the widest range of NFL content available on the platform.
Sling TV frequently offers promotional discounts, such as 50% off your first month's subscription. The streamer is also currently offering big savings on four months of the Orange + Blue tier plus the Sports Extra plan when you prepay for the Sling TV Season Pass. The plan costs $219, reduced from $300.

How to watch Arizona Cardinals NFL games Out-of-Market
Catching out-of-market NFL action can be tricky due to local broadcasting restrictions and state-specific blackouts. Whether you're a passionate fan living far from your team's home market or simply want to watch a broader variety of matchups, there are ways to overcome these barriers.
NFL Sunday Ticket is one option as it includes all out-of-market games but it's more expensive than other options and doesn't have in-market games. As the name implies, NFL Sunday Ticket provides access to Sunday games — but not all of them. The following games may be excluded:
- Local games broadcast on CBS and Fox
- Sunday night games
- Monday night games
- Thursday night games
- International games
- Holiday games (Thanksgiving)
A highly effective approach is using a VPN. Regardless of whether you use NFL+, Fubo (formerly FuboTV), or another streaming platform, you can supplement it with a VPN to watch out-of-market games. It enables you to alter your virtual location, letting you access games as though you're in a different state or even abroad (DAZN NFL Game Pass is also an option if you're overseas).
NordVPN is our pick for the best VPN service in 2024 when streaming live sports. You can even try NordVPN risk-free with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Follow these steps to watch out-of-market Arizona Cardinals NFL games
- Get a premium VPN and install it. We recommend NordVPN.
- Get the right streaming service and install it. We recommend Fubo.
- Choose your new location. For example, if you want to watch the "Cardinals vs Chargers” game, you’ll need a Arizona or Los Angeles address/zip code.
- Start your streaming service.
- Find the channel with the game and watch it.

A Trump town hall in Oaks, Pa., Monday night went from a Q-and-A session to a bizarre musical event in which Trump stood in front of his audience for an extended period while songs played on the sound system.
The town hall portion of the event lasted nearly an hour and was moderated by Kristi Noem, South Dakota's Republican governor who is a Trump ally.
The questioners were all friendly to Trump, with questions about how he would bring down inflation, as well as boost small businesses.
The town hall was paused twice for incidents in which the crowd called for a medic. Audience members shouted that the room was too hot.
As medics attended to people affected by the heat, Trump and Noem waited on stage. During the first pause, the crowd sang “God Bless America” together, after which Trump asked for someone to put the song “Ave Maria” on the sound system. An instrumental version soon began playing.
Shortly after the town hall resumed, there was another call for a medic.
“It’s steaming in here!” one man yelled as they waited for assistance, and the instrumental Ave Maria played once again, until the woman affected received help.
Trump joked about the heat in the room: “Personally, I enjoy this. We lose weight. We could do this, lose 4, 5 pounds.”
Trump then called for his “favorite chart” to be put up on screens -– the chart of border crossings that had been displayed in Butler, Pa., on July 13 when an assassin shot at Trump, hitting his ear. In addition, he asked that someone play a version of Ave Maria sung by Luciano Pavarotti.
“We’ll do a little music. Let’s make this a musical-fest,” he said.
Trump stood on stage until the song was over, at which point he stopped the question-and-answer portion of the evening.
“Let’s not do anymore questions. Let’s just listen to music,” he said.
Later, Trump ended the question portion and asked the audience to stick around.
“By the way, when we leave, you don’t have to go so fast. You can sit and listen. We’ll play a couple of songs. Some of you will be a little warm, but that’s OK. It’s not a bad thing. And if you want, we’re gonna do that, but I think it would be beautiful. Don’t you think? A little different.”
“I think it’d be amazing, sir,” Noem said.
“Nice to have imagin- isn’t it a nice thing to have imagination?”
Trump remained on stage for more than half an hour while an array of songs played, including “Hallelujah” as performed by Rufus Wainwright, as well as “November Rain” by Guns ‘n’ Roses.
On Tuesday, Trump, posting on his Truth social, called the evening "amazing."
"The Q and A was almost finished when people began fainting from the excitement and heat," he said. "We started playing music while we waited, and just kept it going. So different, but it ended up being a GREAT EVENING!"
The town hall came as three weeks remain in the voting season and Trump and Harris remain statistically tied, according to most polls. Both candidates are delivering their closing messages and drawing a contrast from their rival as they crisscross the country. Trump will deliver remarks on the economy in Chicago Tuesday, and pretape a town hall with women voters on Fox News that will air Wednesday. Harris is doing a town hall with the popular radio host Charlamagne tha God in her attempt to reach Black male voters.

Alex Murdaugh settles the wrongful death lawsuit that sparked his fall
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Alex Murdaugh has settled a lawsuit brought by the family of a teen killed in a boat crash involving Murdaugh’s youngest son that prosecutors said provoked the disgraced South Carolina attorney to later kill his wife and their son who wrecked the boat.
The agreement by an insurer to pay the $500,000 policy Alex Murdaugh had on the boat ends the wrongful death suit that ultimately pried open Murdaugh’s finances and laid bare his schemes to steal millions from his clients and his law firm.
The family of 19-year-old Mallory Beach sued the Murdaugh family and others after authorities said the boat Paul Murdaugh was driving crashed into a Beaufort County bridge in February 2019. Beach was killed and several others were injured.
Paul Murdaugh, who was 19 at the time of the crash, was charged with felony boating under the influence. Investigators said he had a blood alcohol level over 0.28% — more than three times the legal limit.
Beach’s family already received more than $15 million from a settlement with the Parker’s Kitchen chain of convenience stores and others, as well as lawsuits with a family that held an oyster roast the group on the boat attended, a bar that served Paul Murdaugh liquor just before the crash, and Paul Murdaugh’s older brother, Buster, whose ID he used to buy the beer.
A snag with the insurer of the boat, Progressive, prevented the entire case from being settled last summer. Progressive wouldn’t pay until Alex Murdaugh was dropped as a defendant in the Beach family’s lawsuit, according to court records.
Once special receivers assured all Murdaugh’s assets were paid out, Beach’s family agreed to end the case and the insurer paid the $500,000, Judge Daniel Hall wrote in an order filed Monday.
Court records indicate the other passengers on the boat who were injured have also settled their lawsuits against Murdaugh and others involved in the crash.
Alex Murdaugh, 56, is serving life without parole for the June 2021 shooting deaths of his wife, Maggie, and son Paul at their Colleton County home. He has denied killing them and is appealing his murder convictions.
But even if his murder convictions are overturned, he will remain in prison. Murdaugh admitted stealing around $12 million from his family’s law firm and from clients including a man who became a quadriplegic after a crash and from a trust fund intended for children whose parents were killed in a wreck. He was sentenced to 40 years in federal prison.
Prosecutors said one of the last things Murdaugh did before heading home the night of the killings was work on a financial statement he would likely have to present at a court hearing for the Beach lawsuit scheduled three days later.
Murdaugh feared an investigation into his statement would show he stole millions from clients and his law firm, prosecutors said, and the killings were a sinister, methodical plan to buy time to straighten out his finances and derail the wrongful death suit over the boat crash.
The lawsuit, which became known in the true crime world as the “Boat Case,” showed both his family’s longtime influence over Hampton County where for decades they controlled much of the criminal and civil courts and cracks in their control of their rural empire.
Nurses at the hospital where the injured teens were taken said Paul Murdaugh and his father tried to talk to them alone in the emergency room. One teen said it appeared the family was trying to convince them to say someone other than Paul Murdaugh was driving the boat.
Beach’s lawyer Mark Tinsley testified at Alex Murdaugh’s murder trial that he wanted him to pay $10 million, and Murdaugh’s lawyer said he was broke and might be able to scrape together $1 million.
Tinsley said that didn’t make sense with Murdaugh’s reputation and outward signs of wealth and asked for records of all of Murdaugh’s finances for the lawsuit hearing, which was postponed following the killings.
Alex Murdaugh killed his son Paul with two shotgun blasts and his 52-year-old wife, Maggie, with four or five rifle shots outside their home, authorities said.
Alex Murdaugh said he called 911 after finding the bodies following a brief visit to see his ailing mother.
He told investigators who arrived that he wondered if the anger toward his son over the boat crash led to the killings.

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump both pushed Tuesday to energize key constituencies that their allies worry might be slipping away, with the vice president looking to reach Black men and the former president focusing on women.
Harris will appear at a town hall-style event in Detroit hosted by the morning radio program “The Breakfast Club,” featuring Charlamagne Tha God, who is especially popular with Black males. Trump, meanwhile, will tape a Fox News Channel town hall featuring an all-female audience and moderated by host Harris Faulkner.

The vice president was also scheduled to stop by a Black-owned business in Detroit. A day earlier, she visited LegendErie, a coffee shop and record store in Erie, Pennsylvania, where she met with the husband-and-wife owners, a local pastor and other community leaders.
Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, is unveiling his ticket’s plan to improve the lives of rural Americans. It’s yet another sign that in a razor-tight race, each side is trying to cut into the other’s margins of support with different voting blocs while shoring up traditional areas of strength.
The vice president’s “Breakfast Club” appearance comes one day after she announced a series of new proposals dubbed the “Opportunity Agenda for Black Men.” The ideas are meant to offer the demographic more economic advantages, including providing forgivable business loans of up to $20,000 for entrepreneurs and creating more apprenticeships. The plan would also support the study of sickle cell and other diseases more common in Black men.
Trump, meanwhile, has seen his support among women, especially in the suburbs of many key swing states, soften since his term in the White House. A September AP-NORC poll found more than half of registered voters who are women have a somewhat or very favorable view of Harris, while only about one-third have a favorable view of Trump.
To reverse the trend, Trump has sought to cast himself as being able to personally shield women from various threats, as when he suggested at a rally in Pennsylvania last month that women in America, “will no longer be abandoned, lonely or scared. You will no longer be in danger.”
Elsewhere on Tuesday, Trump has an economic speech in Chicago and a rally in Atlanta.

Here’s the latest:
Trump defends his support for high tariffs
Donald Trump is defending his support for high tariffs as an economic cure-all as he speaks before members of the Economic Club of Chicago.
“To me, the most beautiful word in the dictionary is ‘tariff,’” Trump tells Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait, who is interviewing him at the event. Micklethwait has repeatedly pressed Trump on warnings from economists that the costs of high tariffs will be passed along to American consumers, raising prices.
But Trump isn’t budging.
“It must be hard for you to spend 25 years talking about tariffs as being negative and then have somebody explain to you that you’re totally wrong,” he says, to laughs.
The Economic Club of Chicago describes its membership as “a curated composition of business and civic leaders.”
Walz to unveil Harris’ plan for rural voters as campaign looks to cut into Trump’s edge
Democratic vice presidential nominee Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on Tuesday will unveil his ticket’s plans to improve the lives of rural voters, as Vice President Kamala Harris looks to cut into former President Donald Trump’s support.
The Harris-Walz plan includes a focus on improving rural health care, such as plans to recruit 10,000 new health care professionals in rural and tribal areas through scholarships, loan forgiveness and new grant programs, as well as economic and agricultural policy priorities. The plan was detailed to The Associated Press by a senior campaign official on the condition of anonymity ahead of its official release on Tuesday.
It marks a concerted effort by the Democratic campaign to make a dent in the historically Trump-leaning voting bloc in the closing three weeks before Election Day. Trump carried rural voters by a nearly two-to-one margin in 2020, according to AP VoteCast. In the closely contested race, both Democrats and Republicans are reaching out beyond their historic bases in hopes of winning over a sliver of voters that could ultimately prove decisive.
Walz is set to announce the plan during a stop in rural Lawrence County in western Pennsylvania, one of the marquee battlegrounds of the 2024 contest. He is also starring in a new radio ad for the campaign highlighting his roots in a small town of 400 people and his time coaching football, while attacking Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance.
North Carolina governor candidate Mark Robinson sues CNN over report about posts on porn site
North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson has sued CNN over its recent report that he made explicit racial and sexual posts on a pornography website’s message board. He made the announcement Tuesday and calls the reporting reckless and defamatory.
The lawsuit comes less than four weeks after a report that led many of his fellow GOP elected officials and candidates to distance themselves from Robinson’s gubernatorial campaign. That includes GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.
CNN declined to comment on the lawsuit. Robinson is also suing a man who alleges Robinson frequented a porn shop decades ago.
Georgia judge rules county election officials must certify election results
A Georgia judge has ruled county election officials must certify election results by the deadline set in law and cannot exclude any group of votes from certification even if they suspect error or fraud.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney ruled that “no election superintendent (or member of a board of elections and registration) may refuse to certify or abstain from certifying election results under any circumstance.” While they have the right to inspect the conduct of an election and to review related documents, he wrote, “any delay in receiving such information is not a basis for refusing to certify the election results or abstaining from doing so.”
Georgia law says county election superintendents, which are multimember boards in most counties, “shall” certify election results by 5 p.m. on the Monday after an election — or the Tuesday if Monday is a holiday as it is this year.
The ruling comes as early voting began Tuesday in Georgia.
Julie Adams, a Republican member of the Fulton County election board, had asked the judge to declare that her duties as an election board member were discretionary and that she’s entitled to “full access” to “election materials.”

8 New Family Thrillers to Devour
Family is the gift that keeps on giving — if nothing else, in fiction. Fair warning: you won’t find very many healthy families within the pages of these books. A couple, sure, but if you’re looking for heartwarming, may I gently direct you to another genre?
These books don’t just follow a family through an ordeal; they explore what family means and how it can enrich your life — or make it miserable. Are you a sucker for long-hidden family secrets? Secret societies? What about gangsters and their teenage daughters on the run? Then, you will love these eight family thrillers.

8 Cozy Queer Autumnal Books to Snuggle Up With
What is a cozy autumnal read? Well, fall leaves on the cover are always a plus, but it’s not mandatory. We’ve got a selection of cozy contemporary novels set during pumpkin spice and mooncakes season, plus some cozy fantasy reads that add a little magic to your reading life.
Recent Dark Academia to Read With Your Book Club
As a mood reader, I feel like I’m at full power. Since the first of October rolled by, I’ve read a cutsey witch/vampire mystery romance, one of the books below, started the OG ’90s dark academia classic The Secret History by Donna Tartt, and even put a little something together for those looking to deck themselves out in all manner of tweed and ancient Greek-inspired tees.
If you’re looking for something for your book club that’ll fully immerse you in these immaculate fall vibes, you could do worse than dark academia. The genre is, by definition, full of contradictions and provides excellent fodder for discussions on things like class and social hierarchies. Which means it’s perfect for book clubs.

- A growing number of Americans with auto loans owe more than their vehicles are worth, according to a report Tuesday from Edmunds.com.
- The average amount owed on upside-down loans climbed to an all-time high of $6,458 during the third quarter, according to the company.
- Upside-down car loans aren't necessarily dire on their own, but a growing number of consumers being underwater is another indication of pressure on American consumers.
DETROIT — A growing number of Americans with auto loans owe more than their vehicles are worth, according to a report Tuesday from Edmunds.com.
The auto data and consumer research company reports the average amount owed on so-called upside-down loans climbed to an all-time high of $6,458 during the third quarter. That compares with $6,255 in the prior quarter and $5,808 a year earlier.

Upside-down car loans aren't necessarily dire on their own, but a growing number of consumers being underwater is another indication of pressure on American consumers.
A sign of that strain came last month, when the Federal Reserve reported delinquency rates on auto loans rose substantially above pre-coronavirus pandemic levels to end 2023. They had fallen to historical lows during the global health crisis.
"Consumers owing a grand or two more than their cars are worth isn't the end of the world, but seeing such a notable share of individuals affected at the $10,000 or even $15,000 level is nothing short of alarming," Jessica Caldwell, Edmunds' head of insights, said in a release.
Money Report
Edmunds reports more than one in five consumers with negative equity owe more than $10,000 on their auto loans. That includes 22% of vehicle owners with negative equity who owed $10,000 or more, while 7.5% have negative equity of more than $15,000.
Consumers can counter upside-down car loans by holding onto the vehicles for longer periods. They also can should ensure regular maintenance is done to avoid additional drops in value and costs, according to Edmunds.
"With prices and interest rates being as high as they are, it's critical for consumers to think beyond the monthly payment and be honest with themselves about their ownership habits," Ivan Drury, Edmunds' director of insights, said. "A seven-year auto loan is a one-way ticket to negative equity if you know you're not the type of person to keep a vehicle for that long."
The current situation with upside-down loans is largely a result of consumers who purchased new vehicles in 2021 and 2022 amid a lack of inventory due to the coronavirus pandemic and parts shortages. Many then paid full price or over, with their vehicles depreciating faster than expected as the auto industry and inventories normalized.

Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) is expecting over 1.3 million passengers between October 18 and November 3, 2024, during the autumn holidays, marking an increase of 100,000 from last year.
Antalya in Turkey and Mallorca in Spain are the top holiday destinations, with 493 and 329 flights, respectively. Ryanair, easyJet, and Eurowings are offering the most flights, with Ryanair leading at around 1,500 take-offs and landings.
BER anticipates a busy start to the holiday season, with 250,000 passengers expected over the first weekend and 96,000 on Friday alone. The BERTeam, comprising staff from various airport departments, will be on-site to assist travellers. The airport encourages passengers to use its digital services, including free security access reservations and contactless facial recognition for a seamless experience. Travellers are also advised to check transport updates due to S-Bahn construction and possible disruptions from President Joe Biden’s visit to Berlin.
CEO Aletta von Massenbach highlighted the thorough preparations and welcomed the increase in passenger numbers, reflecting the continued demand for air travel.

There’s something to be said about peaking at the right time in this league.
The last two Grey Cup champions are perfect examples. The Montreal Alouettes finished the 2023 regular season on a five-game winning streak before taking home the 110th Grey Cup. The year before saw Toronto win seven of its last nine before finishing with a championship.
And this season’s Saskatchewan Roughriders are making a good case to be in that same conversation.
You can make it four straight wins for the Riders after their impressive 39-8 win over the BC Lions on Saturday. This comes after a miserable stretch that saw Saskatchewan go winless over a stretch of seven games (0-6-1), wiping out a great start to the season.
And don’t look now, but not only have the Roughriders clinched a home playoff date, they’re also still in the mix to lock down first place in the West Division after Winnipeg’s 14-11 loss to Toronto to kickoff Week 19. With both teams on a bye this week, top spot in the division won’t be decided until the final weekend of the regular season.

» Sign up and watch CFL games on CFL+ in the U.S. and Internationally
» Visit CFL Game Zone to make your All-CFL votes
Regardless, though, the Roughriders looks like they’re going to be a handful.
During this win streak, the Riders have averaged more than 33 points per game. It’s the offence Sask envisioned when they signed quarterback Trevor Harris in 2023 free agency before he sustained a season ending injury in Week 6 of last year.
Harris has averaged 298 yards passing during this four-game stretch while throwing five touchdowns against two interceptions. In fact, since returning from injury in Week 11, Harris has been one of the league’s most productive and efficient quarterbacks even if team results didn’t immediately follow.
But the good signs don’t stop at quarterback. The return of running back AJ Ouellette can’t be understated, either. After missing almost two full months with a hip injury, Ouellette returned on Saturday to the tune of 84 yards on 16 carries. Having their bruising tailback in the fold heading into the playoffs is a huge addition for this Saskatchewan offence.
Big plays only 🤝
In the first half, @SEmilus surpassed 1,000 receiving yards on the season 👏

At receiver, National Samuel Emilus has cemented himself as a go-to in this league and leads a group of receivers that has evolved impressively over the year. And let’s give a shoutout to this offensive line, which allowed just one sack against BC and has allowed less than two per game this season, which is a significant improvement compared to the last two years.
On defence, boundary halfback Rolan Milligan Jr. continues to put himself in the Most Outstanding Player conversation with his league leading eight interceptions. Milligan has been part of a thriving defensive backfield that also includes field corner Marcus Sayles (four interceptions) and SAM linebacker C.J. Reavis (84 defensive tackles, four sacks).
Things got a little scary for fans in Saskatchewan through the month of August and into September. But following a close 26-21 loss to Winnipeg in their Labour Day rematch, the Roughriders hit the reset button during a Week 15 bye.
Saskatchewan hasn’t lost since, and they’ve got as good a chance as anyone to come out of an ultra-tight West Division.
QUICK HITS
We didn’t mention this last week, but the Ottawa REDBLACKS deserve a little kudos for clinching their first playoff berth since 2018. Ottawa returned from its bye to close out Thanksgiving Weekend presented by Purolator with a tight 19-12 loss in Montreal. But despite the loss and a recent tough stretch, a REDBLACKS return to the post-season is an accomplishment worth noting after going four straight seasons with no more than four wins.
Team-leading eighth sack of the season for Michael Wakefield!

📱: Stream on CFL+ pic.twitter.com/5R2GqMb1Hx— CFL (@CFL) October 14, 2024
Speaking of which, the REDBLACKS are involved in the marquee matchup of Week 20 when they visit Toronto on Saturday afternoon. The Argos and REDBLACKS are locked in for the Eastern Semi-Final and are separated by just one point with two games remaining on either side. With home field still up for grabs, Saturday’s contest should be a lot of fun.
Then there’s the BC Lions, who close out their regular season Saturday night at home to Montreal. The Lions have a Week 21 bye and know they’ll be on the road for the Western Semi-Final, which means there’s plenty of incentive to finish on a strong note.
We know how talented BC is, but this group has struggled with consistency over the last couple months. Whether it’s a positive finish for quarterback Nathan Rourke or a strong defensive showing against the reigning Grey Cup champions, the Lions have a chance to enter the playoffs on a high with a win Saturday.

This makes it an ideal solution for extensive deployments in remote and rural environments.
These innovative UBRs are designed to deliver high throughput in last-mile and offers telcos and service providers with a scalable and robust wireless backhauling solution.
What sets HFCL apart is that these new UBR devices, among other wireless and wired products in its portfolio, can be easily controlled, monitored, and managed through an advanced Element Management System (EMS).

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.”

AYESHA RASCOE, HOST:
At the bottom of a deep red canyon in Southern Utah, the Colorado River is restoring itself, or at least a part of itself, even as climate change shrinks its volume. And that has river enthusiasts celebrating. Long-forgotten whitewater rapids are re-emerging upstream. Reporter Luke Runyon set out to find out more.
LUKE RUNYON, BYLINE: We just docked our boats to scout Gypsum Canyon Rapid. The sky is blue, the sun is out, it's hot, and you can hear the water roaring.
PETE LEFEBVRE: I'm just going to go down this main wave train and look for this domer rock and tuck underneath that.
RUNYON: Professional river guide Pete Lefebvre has been down Cataract Canyon more than 130 times, but he's never seen Gypsum Rapid, and it looks mean - a churning, roiling mess of water and boulders.
LEFEBVRE: It's steep, it's sharp. It's a must-make move. And I'm nervous.
RUNYON: Lefebvre has never seen this rapid because for more than 50 years, it's been buried under mud. Cataract Canyon is a transition zone, where the dammed-up waters of Lake Powell start backing up and sediment buries whatever's on the bottom. But since 2000, Lake Powell has dropped 100 feet. So here, the river is starting to behave like a river again, carving down and excavating these long-buried boulders. Mike DeHoff is another experienced river-runner.
MIKE DEHOFF: Cataract Canyon, I think, these days is like a friend that was in a car accident or had a terrible sickness that has come home from the hospital.
RUNYON: In 2019, he and Pete Lefebvre started the Returning Rapids project. DeHoff's wife, Meg Flynn, a librarian in nearby Moab, keeps its archive. Using old photos from before Lake Powell's dam was built, they anticipate when and where new rapids might again show themselves.
MEG FLYNN: We see here how flowing water brings life, and that the river, if you give it a chance, can recover at a rate that is really astounding to all of us.
RUNYON: The group has now seen at least seven formerly buried rapids re-emerge, with names like The Chute, La Rue's Riffle and Can Opener. In addition to the ones that never disappeared, like Little Niagara or Satan's Gut. Jack Schmidt runs Utah State University's Center for Colorado River Studies.
JACK SCHMIDT: As a geologist, we study rates of change that are invariably slow. I mean, my heavens, things are just going gangbusters here.
RUNYON: Schmidt says the Colorado River's problems are significant. The region struggles with a massive gap between water supply and demand. These changes are only happening because the giant reservoir has dropped precipitously under warming temperatures.
SCHMIDT: You know, at the same time, this place is both a reservoir in crisis and a river restoring itself. It's both those things.
(SOUNDBITE OF WATER RUSHING)
RUNYON: Back in our yellow inflatable rafts, Pete Lefebvre dips his oars into the water just above Gypsum Canyon Rapid.
LEFEBVRE: Well, here we go.
RUNYON: The boat drops into the newly returned whitewater, its nose pointed right into massive cresting waves.
After making it through that brand-new rapid, Lefebvre says he can't wait to see which one comes back next. For NPR News, I'm Luke Runyon in Cataract Canyon, Utah. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

On Monday, Mbappe did not hesitate to speak out on social networks, stating that the rumours linking him to a rape case were false: "FAKE NEWS!!!! It's becoming so predictable, the day before a hearing as if by chance."
That didn't stop the football world from going into overdrive, but as the hours went by, the details became more and more significant.
In the evening, several Swedish media outlets suggested that the captain of the French national team was involved in the rape case that took place last week in a Stockholm hotel - the same hotel where the Real Madrid striker stayed during the holiday granted by his club.
New information emerged on Tuesday. The Swedish courts confirmed that an investigation had been opened, without directly naming Mbappe and his possible involvement.
At the same time, the Frenchman has been removed from an advertising campaign linked to his club. However, according to information seen by Flashscore, this change has nothing to do with the Swedish affair. It is simply a question of marketing quotas between Adidas and Nike.
For each Real Madrid post on social networks, the club and the brands apply the 3x1 rule (three Adidas players for one Nike player). Here, Jude Bellingham, Linda Caicedo and Signe Bruun are with Adidas. As the post is in the basketball section, one of the team's players has to take part, and Sergio Llull has been chosen. He is sponsored by Nike.
The most important issue is the media storm in which Mbappe is now embroiled, and according to our information, we can confirm that the Madrid club has "no concerns" about the possible involvement of its number nine in the rape affair.
Real have full confidence in Mbappe's statement that he is not involved in any way. Mbappe has the support of his club at a time when he is in turmoil.

The Chargers are looking to turn things around after a tough 5-12 season under former head coach Brandon Staley. With high-profile hire Jim Harbaugh now at the helm, expectations are much higher for the 2024 NFL season.
Harbaugh joins Los Angeles after leading Michigan to a CFP national title and carries significant buzz due to his past success with the 49ers, where he took them to Super Bowl 47.
Prior to last season, the Chargers had posted a 10-7 record, earning a wild-card spot in the playoffs. With Harbaugh now on the sidelines and Justin Herbert still commanding the offense, they're aiming to reach similar heights, if not higher. After several frustrating finishes under Staley, this team is expected to deliver, with fans hoping for their first playoff victory in years.
Looking forward to watching the Chargers NFL games? Please read our guide below to find out which TV channels and streaming services you need to watch every Chargers game throughout the season.
Los Angeles Chargers 2024 NFL Fixtures
Here is the list of Los Angeles Chargers NFL fixtures for the 2024 regular season:
How to watch Los Angeles Chargers NFL games in local markets
You can watch the Los Angeles Chargers this season on CBS, ESPN, FOX, ABC, NBC, and Amazon Prime Video (which has the exclusive rights to broadcast Thursday Night Football nationally). You'll also find extra coverage on NFL Network and NFL RedZone.
Paramount+ offers the streaming option for CBS, while Fubo provides both CBS and FOX coverage as well as ABC and NFL Network. In Week 7, the Chargers will be on the road against the Cardinals on Oct. 21 for a Monday Night Football showdown. This matchup will not be aired live on ESPN or ABC. Instead, fans can catch it exclusively on ESPN+, ESPN’s subscription streaming service. This move aligns with the NFL's ongoing shift toward streaming platforms, moving some games beyond traditional cable access.
However, this only covers games that are broadcast locally. For the 2024 season, Netflix is not required for Chargers games, although die-hard NFL fans may want to check it out for other games scheduled on Christmas.
If you reside outside the local market and want to watch Los Angeles Chargers games, you'll need to subscribe to NFL Sunday Ticket, which is your gateway to out-of-market matchups. If you require a cable, satellite, or live TV streaming service that includes all the NFL channels (ESPN, NFL Network, and local channels), be sure to check out our comprehensive guide below.
How to watch Los Angeles Chargers NFL games with Satellite TV
Satellite TV, which beams programming to viewers via satellite dishes, remains a popular choice for catching NFL action, offering broader coverage compared to standard cable.
Providers like DIRECTV and DISH bring fans most local channels for the 2023 NFL season, giving access to both in-market and out-of-market games. By opting for extra packages, you can unlock additional networks like ESPN for even more coverage.
However, just like with cable, satellite services can come with a hefty price tag, so it's essential to weigh your options before committing. You don't want to find yourself shelling out more than necessary for your NFL fix. OTT streaming services offer the same top-tier programming you can get from your local cable provider at a fraction of the price.
How to watch Los Angeles Chargers for free (through antenna)
Most Chargers games can be watched for free using an over-the-air (OTA) antenna. This setup allows fans to access NFL channels such as ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC, provided they reside within their coverage area. Visit 506sports.com/nfl to see which games will be shown in your area.
Each year, these prominent broadcast stations feature numerous Chargers games, including playoff clashes and the Super Bowl. Thus, installing an OTA antenna is a cost-effective way to enjoy a wealth of football without incurring monthly fees.
To find out which channels are available in your region, enter your zip code into the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Reception Map Tool.
How to watch the 2024-25 Chargers season without cable
Streaming services are rapidly becoming the primary method for fans to watch NFL games, thanks to a growing array of providers in the market.
There is a wide selection of streaming options available, ranging from those that offer specific broadcast packages, such as Prime Video and YouTube TV, to more flexible choices like Sling TV and Hulu Live TV, which allow users to customize their channel selection.
No cable or satellite TV subscription is needed. Start watching with a free trial.
How to watch Chargers NFL games on DirecTV Stream
DirecTV Stream serves as the online counterpart to the DirecTV satellite service, taking over from AT&T TV and AT&T TV Now.
The starting price for DirecTV Stream plans is $80 per month, which includes around 90 channels. Viewers can catch NFL games on all four major broadcast networks—ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC—in most areas, along with ESPN.
Recently, the service has also added the NFL Network and NFL RedZone to its offerings as part of the Choice plan for $108.99 per month.
It does not provide direct access to the exclusive "Thursday Night Football" games available on Amazon Prime Video, but if you live in the local market of either of the teams playing on Thursday, you should be able to watch the game on an over-the-air antenna or local FOX/CBS affiliate. You can use DirecTV Stream's channel lookup tool to see which local channels are available where you live.
🏷️💸SALE:- Choose $15 OFF each month for the first 2 months of Entertainment with Sports Pack or $20 OFF each month for the first 3 months of Choice or Ultimate
How to watch Los Angeles Chargers NFL games on YouTube TV
YouTube TV is an excellent choice for Chargers fans looking to catch all the action this NFL season. With CBS, ESPN, FOX, and NBC in its channel lineup, you'll have access to the vast majority of Green Bay games, including primetime matchups and nationally televised contests.
But YouTube TV doesn't stop there. As one of the few streaming services to offer the NFL RedZone Channel, you can enjoy the thrilling moments when teams drive into the red zone on Sunday afternoons.
However, if you're a die-hard Chargers supporter who wants to catch every single Green Bay game, regardless of market, the NFL Sunday Ticket add-on is a must-have. This premium package, available on YouTube TV, provides access to all out-of-market Sunday afternoon games throughout the regular season.
While the NFL Sunday Ticket add-on comes at an additional cost of $379 for the season, it's a small price to pay for the dedicated fan who refuses to miss a single snap. You can even enhance your experience by bundling it with the NFL RedZone Channel for an extra $10.99 per month, allowing you to witness every red zone opportunity across the league.
It's important to note that if you're solely interested in NFL Sunday Ticket or the NFL RedZone Channel, you have the flexibility to purchase them as standalone offerings without subscribing to YouTube TV.
How to watch Los Angeles Chargers NFL games on Hulu Live TV
Hulu + Live TV provides a comprehensive solution for streaming NFL games, offering nearly everything you need for $77 per month. This service grants access to all local NFL games in your area, barring any blackouts, and includes channels like ESPN and the NFL Network. Additionally, subscribers receive Disney+ and ESPN+ at no extra charge, along with the standard Hulu on-demand library. For an additional $10 per month, you can enhance your package with the Sports add-on to include NFL RedZone.
What you can watch:
- Local games on Fox
- Local games on CBS
- Sunday Night Football on NBC
- Monday Night Football on ESPN

What you may miss out on:

On Hulu's live news page, you can input your ZIP code in the "Can I watch local news in my area?" section near the bottom to find out which local channels are available to you.)
- Out-of-market games
How to watch Los Angeles Chargers NFL games on Sling TV
If you're a football fan looking for an affordable way to stream live games, Sling TV is a budget-friendly alternative that provides access to most of the essential channels at a lower cost compared to other live TV streaming services like Hulu or FuboTV. Sling TV offers three different subscription tiers, each tailored to your specific channel preferences. The Sling Orange and Sling Blue plans are priced at $40 per month each, while the combined Sling Orange + Blue package is available for $55 per month. To further enhance your NFL viewing experience, you can add the Sling Blue Sports Extra package for an additional $11 per month, which includes NFL RedZone.
The Sling Blue plan offers NFL Network, as well as Fox and NBC in select regions, while the Sling Orange plan provides access to ESPN. It's important to note that Sling TV does not carry CBS. For the most comprehensive NFL coverage throughout the season, we recommend opting for the Sling Orange + Blue plan, as it grants you access to the widest range of NFL content available on the platform.
Sling TV frequently offers promotional discounts, such as 50% off your first month's subscription. The streamer is also currently offering big savings on four months of the Orange + Blue tier plus the Sports Extra plan when you prepay for the Sling TV Season Pass. The plan costs $219, reduced from $300.

How to watch Los Angeles Chargers NFL games Out-of-Market
Catching out-of-market NFL action can be tricky due to local broadcasting restrictions and state-specific blackouts. Whether you're a passionate fan living far from your team's home market or simply want to watch a broader variety of matchups, there are ways to overcome these barriers.
NFL Sunday Ticket is one option as it includes all out-of-market games but it's more expensive than other options and doesn't have in-market games. As the name implies, NFL Sunday Ticket provides access to Sunday games — but not all of them. The following games may be excluded:
- Local games broadcast on CBS and Fox
- Sunday night games
- Monday night games
- Thursday night games
- International games
- Holiday games (Thanksgiving)
A highly effective approach is using a VPN. Regardless of whether you use NFL+, Fubo (formerly FuboTV), or another streaming platform, you can supplement it with a VPN to watch out-of-market games. It enables you to alter your virtual location, letting you access games as though you're in a different state or even abroad (DAZN NFL Game Pass is also an option if you're overseas).
NordVPN is our pick for the best VPN service in 2024 when streaming live sports. You can even try NordVPN risk-free with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Follow these steps to watch out-of-market Los Angeles Chargers NFL games
- Get a premium VPN and install it. We recommend NordVPN.
- Get the right streaming service and install it. We recommend Fubo.
- Choose your new location. For example, if you want to watch the "Chargers @ Cardinals” game, you’ll need a Los Angeles or Arizona address/zip code.
- Start your streaming service.
- Find the channel with the game and watch it.

KYIV, Ukraine — Whenever Anton has free time after work, he sits at his kitchen table and spends a few hours assembling drones that will be sent to the front line.
“Our army needs a lot of them,” says Anton, a 35-year-old software developer, who declined to give his last name to avoid being targeted by Russia for his kitchen-top weapon-making. “People need to use factories in their own kitchens to assemble more and more drones.”
Ukraine has dramatically amped up domestic production of both attack and reconnaissance drones since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022. This year, the Ukrainian government allocated $2 billion to produce at least 1 million first-person-view, or FPV, drones, which are equipped with cameras that transmit video to remote pilots. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told foreign arms manufacturers earlier this month that the country had already surpassed that, contracting 1.5 million drones in the first three quarters of this year. He added that Ukraine is now capable of producing 4 million drones annually. The government, military, private companies and regular citizens are all involved.
“When we started doing this, it was only three people. We were doing everything ourselves,” said Serhiy Pirohov, who in the summer of 2022 co-founded the volunteer drone-assembly network Social Drone UA, though he now works independently. “It was the goal from day zero to bring in more people and educate them so the goal is that everyone in the country should be able to assemble some kind of drone.”
Ukraine even opened a new armed forces' branch dedicated to drone warfare, which the Ukrainian Defense Ministry says is the first of its kind. Vadym Sukharevsky, the commander of this branch, known officially as the Unmanned Systems Forces, compared it to the creation of an air force. Russia may have more drones, he told the Economist magazine in July, “but qualitatively we are keeping them at parity.” Sukharevsky told a recent military tech conference in Kyiv that when the branch is fully structured, “we will be operating at sea, we will be operating on land and air ... plus we will be working on research and development.”
Ihor Lutsenko, a former Ukrainian lawmaker now in the Ukrainian military, is also pushing for the creation of an all-female drone unit because “we do not have enough soldiers at the front, and it’s time to include women,” he told NPR.
Meanwhile, more than 200 drone-producing companies have opened in Ukraine since 2022, including Skyassist, which has its offices in a no-frills neighborhood of Kyiv. Co-founder Ihor Krynychko points to a reconnaissance drone.
“This is the prototype,” he says. “Literally made in the kitchen.”
Skyassist produces hundreds of drones every month. Krynychko, a jolly engineer from Kharkiv, says Ukrainians are producing state-of-the-art drones because “we paid for this knowledge in blood, with our soldiers’ lives.”
“I remember being at a military exhibition in Poland last year and seeing beautiful-looking weapons by Lockheed Martin, Boeing and others and thinking ‘they’re beautiful but none of them would work in war for various reasons,’ ” he says. “It’s not because our engineers are necessarily smarter. We are at war and we know better than anyone else what’s needed at the front.”
Ukraine’s navy has used sea drones to drive Russian warships out of the Black Sea. More recently, last month, the government unveiled the Palianytsia, which has been described as both a missile drone and a rocket drone which can be used against targets far into Russian territory. The Ukrainian military is already using domestically produced long-range attack drones to hit ammunition depots deep inside Russia.
The biggest barrier to expansion, though, is money. Ukraine’s government and private sector are producing more drones than the state can afford to acquire. Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov and former Strategic Industries Minister Oleksandr Kamyshin have urged other countries to help by buying Ukrainian drones.
Keeping up drone production helps Ukraine defend itself, says Krynychko, the co-founder of the drone-manufacturing company Skyassist.
“We have so many ideas for new drones,” he said. “We need time and resources to bring them to life.”

California college shooting that left employee critical was ‘workplace violence,’ officials say
SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) — Southern California’s Santa Monica College is closed Tuesday as police investigate a campus shooting that wounded an employee in what officials said was a “workplace violence incident.” No arrests have been made.
The shooting occurred around 10 p.m. Monday at the school’s Center for Media and Design on a satellite campus that’s also home to the public radio station KCRW, the community college said in a statement.
The victim, who was not identified, was hospitalized in critical condition, the college statement said. The shooter remains at large.
“This was a workplace violence incident, not a random act,” the statement said. “The College is fully cooperating with authorities, and all Santa Monica College campuses will be closed on Tuesday to prioritize the safety and well-being of our community.”
The Santa Monica Police Department, which is leading the investigation, did not immediately respond to calls and emails seeking additional details.
The school, with a series of satellite campuses in the beachside city, enrolls about 30,000 students.

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

The Rams defied expectations in 2023, despite bowing out in the first round of the playoffs.
Heading into the season, Los Angeles was projected to notch just seven wins. However, with head coach Sean McVay at the helm and a resurgent season from quarterback Matthew Stafford, the Rams posted a strong 10-7 record.
Although star wide receiver Cooper Kupp faced injuries throughout the year, rookie sensation Puka Nacua and second-year running back Kyren Williams rose to the occasion.
The defense remained formidable, anchored by the legendary Aaron Donald. However, 2024 will look different as Donald retired this past offseason, leaving Los Angeles without one of the game's all-time greats.
Looking forward to watching the Rams NFL games? Please read our guide below to find out which TV channels and streaming services you need to watch every Rams game throughout the season.
Los Angeles Rams 2024 NFL Fixtures
Here is the list of Los Angeles Rams NFL fixtures for the 2024 regular season:
How to watch Los Angeles Rams NFL games in local markets
You can watch the Los Angeles Rams this season on CBS, ESPN, FOX, ABC, NBC, and Amazon Prime Video (which has the exclusive rights to broadcast Thursday Night Football nationally). You'll also find extra coverage on NFL Network and NFL RedZone.
Paramount+ offers the streaming option for CBS, while Fubo provides both CBS and FOX coverage as well as ABC and NFL Network.
However, this only covers games that are broadcast locally. For the 2024 season, Netflix is not required for Los Angeles games, although die-hard NFL fans may want to check it out for other games scheduled on Christmas.
If you reside outside the local market and want to watch Los Angeles Rams games, you'll need to subscribe to NFL Sunday Ticket, which is your gateway to out-of-market matchups.
If you require a cable, satellite, or live TV streaming service that includes all the NFL channels (ESPN, NFL Network, and local channels), be sure to check out our comprehensive guide below.
How to watch Los Angeles Rams NFL games with Satellite TV
Satellite TV, which beams programming to viewers via satellite dishes, remains a popular choice for catching NFL action, offering broader coverage compared to standard cable.
Providers like DIRECTV and DISH bring fans most local channels for the 2023 NFL season, giving access to both in-market and out-of-market games. By opting for extra packages, you can unlock additional networks like ESPN for even more coverage.
However, just like with cable, satellite services can come with a hefty price tag, so it's essential to weigh your options before committing. You don't want to find yourself shelling out more than necessary for your NFL fix. OTT streaming services offer the same top-tier programming you can get from your local cable provider at a fraction of the price.
How to watch Los Angeles Rams for free (through antenna)
Most Rams games can be watched for free using an over-the-air (OTA) antenna. This setup allows fans to access NFL channels such as ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC, provided they reside within their coverage area. Visit 506sports.com/nfl to see which games will be shown in your area.
Each year, these prominent broadcast stations feature numerous Rams games, including playoff clashes and the Super Bowl. Thus, installing an OTA antenna is a cost-effective way to enjoy a wealth of football without incurring monthly fees.
To find out which channels are available in your region, enter your zip code into the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Reception Map Tool.
How to watch the 2024-25 Rams season without cable
Streaming services are rapidly becoming the primary method for fans to watch NFL games, thanks to a growing array of providers in the market.
There is a wide selection of streaming options available, ranging from those that offer specific broadcast packages, such as Prime Video and YouTube TV, to more flexible choices like Sling TV and Hulu Live TV, which allow users to customize their channel selection.
No cable or satellite TV subscription is needed. Start watching with a free trial.
How to watch Rams NFL games on DirecTV Stream
DirecTV Stream serves as the online counterpart to the DirecTV satellite service, taking over from AT&T TV and AT&T TV Now.
The starting price for DirecTV Stream plans is $80 per month, which includes around 90 channels. Viewers can catch NFL games on all four major broadcast networks—ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC—in most areas, along with ESPN.
Recently, the service has also added the NFL Network and NFL RedZone to its offerings as part of the Choice plan for $108.99 per month.
It does not provide direct access to the exclusive "Thursday Night Football" games available on Amazon Prime Video, but if you live in the local market of either of the teams playing on Thursday, you should be able to watch the game on an over-the-air antenna or local FOX/CBS affiliate. You can use DirecTV Stream's channel lookup tool to see which local channels are available where you live.
🏷️💸SALE:- Choose $15 OFF each month for the first 2 months of Entertainment with Sports Pack or $20 OFF each month for the first 3 months of Choice or Ultimate
How to watch Los Angeles Rams NFL games on YouTube TV
YouTube TV is an excellent choice for Rams fans looking to catch all the action this NFL season. With CBS, ESPN, FOX, and NBC in its channel lineup, you'll have access to the vast majority of Green Bay games, including primetime matchups and nationally televised contests.
But YouTube TV doesn't stop there. As one of the few streaming services to offer the NFL RedZone Channel, you can enjoy the thrilling moments when teams drive into the red zone on Sunday afternoons.
However, if you're a die-hard Rams supporter who wants to catch every single Green Bay game, regardless of market, the NFL Sunday Ticket add-on is a must-have. This premium package, available on YouTube TV, provides access to all out-of-market Sunday afternoon games throughout the regular season.
While the NFL Sunday Ticket add-on comes at an additional cost of $379 for the season, it's a small price to pay for the dedicated fan who refuses to miss a single snap. You can even enhance your experience by bundling it with the NFL RedZone Channel for an extra $10.99 per month, allowing you to witness every red zone opportunity across the league.
It's important to note that if you're solely interested in NFL Sunday Ticket or the NFL RedZone Channel, you have the flexibility to purchase them as standalone offerings without subscribing to YouTube TV.
How to watch Los Angeles Rams NFL games on Hulu Live TV
Hulu + Live TV provides a comprehensive solution for streaming NFL games, offering nearly everything you need for $77 per month. This service grants access to all local NFL games in your area, barring any blackouts, and includes channels like ESPN and the NFL Network. Additionally, subscribers receive Disney+ and ESPN+ at no extra charge, along with the standard Hulu on-demand library. For an additional $10 per month, you can enhance your package with the Sports add-on to include NFL RedZone.

- Out-of-market games
How to watch Los Angeles Rams NFL games on Sling TV
If you're a football fan looking for an affordable way to stream live games, Sling TV is a budget-friendly alternative that provides access to most of the essential channels at a lower cost compared to other live TV streaming services like Hulu or FuboTV. Sling TV offers three different subscription tiers, each tailored to your specific channel preferences. The Sling Orange and Sling Blue plans are priced at $40 per month each, while the combined Sling Orange + Blue package is available for $55 per month. To further enhance your NFL viewing experience, you can add the Sling Blue Sports Extra package for an additional $11 per month, which includes NFL RedZone.
The Sling Blue plan offers NFL Network, as well as Fox and NBC in select regions, while the Sling Orange plan provides access to ESPN. It's important to note that Sling TV does not carry CBS. For the most comprehensive NFL coverage throughout the season, we recommend opting for the Sling Orange + Blue plan, as it grants you access to the widest range of NFL content available on the platform.
Sling TV frequently offers promotional discounts, such as 50% off your first month's subscription. The streamer is also currently offering big savings on four months of the Orange + Blue tier plus the Sports Extra plan when you prepay for the Sling TV Season Pass. The plan costs $219, reduced from $300.

NEW YORK — A new wave of lawsuits filed Monday accuses Sean “Diddy” Combs of raping women, sexually assaulting men and molesting a 16-year-old boy.
At least six lawsuits were filed against the hip-hop mogul in federal court in Manhattan. They were filed anonymously, two by women identified as Jane Does and four by men identified as John Does.
The accusers are part of what their lawyers say is a group of more than 100 alleged victims who are in the process of taking legal action against Combs in the wake of his sex trafficking arrest last month.
One of the John Does, a man living in North Carolina, alleges that Combs fondled his genitals when he was 16 at one of the rapper’s famous white parties in Long Island’s Hamptons in 1998.
The man alleges that during a conversation about possibly breaking into the music industry, Combs abruptly ordered the then-teen to drop his pants.
According to the man’s lawsuit, Combs explained to him that it was a rite of passage to becoming a music star, at one point asking him: “Don’t you want to break into the business?”
The man said he complied out of fear, anxiety and power imbalance he felt with Combs, only realizing later that what had happened was sexual assault.
Until Monday’s lawsuit, Combs had only been accused in civil cases and his criminal indictment of sexual activity with adults.
Combs’ lawyers and other representatives did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment. When the planned lawsuits were announced Oct. 1, a lawyer said Combs “cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus.”
Combs, 54, has pleaded not guilty to racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges alleging he coerced and abused women for years with help from a network of associates and employees while silencing victims through blackmail and violence, including kidnapping, arson and physical beatings.
Combs’ lawyers have been trying unsuccessfully to get the Bad Boy Records founder freed on bail. He has been held at a Brooklyn federal jail since his Sept. 16 arrest.
Two judges have concluded that Combs would be a danger to the community if he is released from the Metropolitan Detention Center, a facility that has been plagued by violence and dysfunction for years. At a bail hearing three weeks ago, a judge rejected a proposed $50 million bail package, including home detention and electronic monitoring, after concluding Combs might tamper with witnesses and obstruct a continuing investigation.
On Friday, an appeals court judge denied Combs’ immediate release from jail while a three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals weighs his bail request.
Other lawsuits filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Manhattan include allegations of rape, forced oral sex and drugging to incapacitate victims.
One of the Jane Does suing Combs alleges he raped her in a locked hotel room in 2004 after he invited her and a friend there for a party, gave them drinks and told them to snort cocaine.
The woman, then a college freshman, alleges Combs also forced her friend to perform oral sex on him and said he would have them both killed if they didn’t comply with his demands.
The other Jane Doe alleges Combs violently attacked and raped her in a bathroom in 2005 at a party for the late rapper Biggie Smalls’ music video, “One More Chance.”
According to the woman, Combs brought her into the bathroom to talk privately and then started kissing her unexpectedly. When she tried to pull away, she alleges, he slammed her head against the wall, causing her to fall to the floor. The woman said she tried to escape, but Combs hit her again and raped her.
Afterward, according to the woman, Combs nonchalantly adjusted his clothing and told her: “You better not tell anyone about this, or you will disappear.”
In another John Doe lawsuit, a man working as a security guard at Combs’ Hamptons white party in 2006 alleges the star gave him an alcoholic beverage he came to believe was laced with a drug that made him feel extremely ill. The man alleges Combs then pushed him into a van, held him down and sexually assaulted him.
In the other lawsuits filed Monday, Combs is accused of forcing a man to perform oral sex on him in the stockroom of Macy’s flagship store in Manhattan’s Herald Square in 2008 and sexually assaulting a man at a party in October 2021. The latter man, who suspects a drugged beverage left him unable to fight back, recalls multiple men assaulting him and distinctly recalls seeing Combs above him, naked, at one point during the assault, his lawsuit said.

Gamification Can Revolutionise Traditional Learning Method: Shri Sukanta Majumdar, Union Minister of State for Education at IGC 2024
Date
10/15/2024 9:41:27 AM
(MENAFN- Adfactors PR) engaging for students and encouraging critical thinking, problem solving and creativity fostering literacy from an early age preparing students for a tech-driven future,” said Shri Sukanta Majumdar, Union Minister of State for Education, in a video recorded message at the second edition of the Indian Gaming Convention (IGC). The two-day convention is being organised by the Internet and Mobile Association of India, on October 14-15, at the Taj Palace, New Delhi.
The theme for IGC 2024 - India—the Next Superpower in Gaming, reflects India’s journey to being a global leader in gaming. Meta is the Title Partner of the convention. Over 60 prominent speakers, including policymakers, senior government officials, and industry leaders, will share their insights with more than 1,000 delegates.
Speaking about how innovations through gamification may have a profound impact on education, Shri Sukanta Majumdar commented, “Emerging technologies such as gamification enhance the educators’ ability to respond to students’ individual need and make learning a more engaging experience. It further extends the educative reach and thereby reduces learning inequality to create more inclusive classrooms.”
“Moreover, as the Ministry of Education, we are committed to providing quality education and ensuring our youth is future ready by making our education system modern and globally competitive. In today’s digital world, the importance of emerging technologies in education can hardly be overemphasised,” he added.
Talking about the New Education Policy 2020, he stated, “The NEP 2020 emphasises on using innovation like gamification to improve efficacy of our education system. The NEP emphasises leveraging technology for enhanced learning, gamification, augmented reality and virtual reality will be key tools for making education interactive and engaging.”
Shri Majumdar also said, “The government is promoting a culture of innovation through initiatives like Atal Tinkering Labs and Startup India. But it is important to practice responsible gaming, particularly for younger audiences. The government, parents and educators must work together to ensure the balance giving habit that promotes cognitive development without fostering addiction or negative behaviour.”
Among major partners of IGC 2024 are, Gold Partners –Salesforce and Veve; Silver Partners – Google Cloud & Bureau; Lanyard partner – Moloco; GameTech Enabler – Singhtek, and Knowledge Partner – PWC.

A new survey revealing trends in Kenya’s labour market has revealed that one in four companies have laid off permanent employees this year, and only one in 10 firms have added new permanent jobs.
At the same time, while only 13 percent of companies have hired new casual workers this year, close to half (42 percent) of firms have fired casuals amid tough economic times, according to a survey by the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK).
In its first assessment of hiring and firing of different categories of employees by companies since January, the CBK in its September Market Perceptions Survey notes that the number of firms that have retrenched workers this year is more than double those that have recruited.
The survey shows that while more companies were firing workers, the banking sector witnessed growth as lenders opened new branches in an expansion drive.
“Respondents were asked how the number of permanent, contract, and casual employees in their firms compare with those in a similar period in 2023.
“The responses showed that 59 percent of banks have hired new permanent staff in 2024 compared with only 10 percent of non-banks. At the same time, 25 percent of non-bank companies have so far laid off permanent staff in 2024 compared with only four percent of banks,” the survey notes.
The CBK notes that 39 percent of banks have hired new contract workers this year and the same number have retained the contract staff they had last year.
About 23 percent of banks said they dismissed contract workers this year.
On the other hand, 31 percent of companies in the general economy have fired contract workers on their payrolls this year, while 17 percent of the firms have added new contract positions compared to last year, notes the CBK survey.
“Banks have largely retained the numbers of casual employees they had in 2023, whereas non-banks have significantly reduced the numbers of casual employees. The survey findings therefore show that non-banks have employed less and laid off more in 2024 compared with banks,” the survey states.
It shows that 83 percent of banks have retained the casual staff they had last year, and 13 percent hired new workers. Four percent of banks made casuals redundant.
This is in stark contrast to the general economy, where 42 percent of companies fired casuals, with only 13 percent hiring new workers. Less than half (45 percent) of the companies maintained the number of casual workers they had in 2023.
Overall, the survey noted that 76 percent of banks and 38 percent of firms in other sectors of the economy expect to hire more employees in 2024 compared with those they had in 2023.
“Banks largely expect to hire more in 2024 to support continued branch expansion and growth in business, launch of new products, and to replace exiting staff," the survey stated.
“Non-banks expected the high cost of production, high overheads, low-profit margins, low business, reduced income, high cost of operations, business uncertainty, and the need to hold down costs with the reduced demand in the market to affect new hires in 2024,” it added.

Earnings are arguably the most important single number on a company's quarterly financial report. Wall Street clearly dives into all of the other metrics and management's input, but the EPS figure helps cut through all the noise.
We know earnings results are vital, but how a company performs compared to bottom line expectations can be even more important when it comes to stock prices, especially in the near-term. This means that investors might want to take advantage of these earnings surprises.
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 is more formally known as the Expected Surprise Prediction, and it aims to grab the inside track on the latest analyst estimate revisions ahead of a company's report. The idea is relatively intuitive as a newer projection might be based on more complete information.
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.
Bringing together a positive earnings ESP alongside a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better has helped stocks report a positive earnings surprise 70% of the time. Furthermore, by using these parameters, investors have seen 28.3% annual returns on average, according to our 10 year backtest.
Stocks with a #3 (Hold) ranking, which is most stocks covered at 60%, are expected to perform in-line with the broader market. But stocks that fall into the #2 (Buy) and #1 (Strong Buy) ranking, 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 Moderna?
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. Moderna (MRNA) earns a #3 (Hold) right now and its Most Accurate Estimate sits at -$1.80 a share, just 23 days from its upcoming earnings release on November 7, 2024.
MRNA has an Earnings ESP figure of +2.4%, which, as explained above, is calculated by taking the percentage difference between the -$1.80 Most Accurate Estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate of -$1.84. Moderna is one of a large database of stocks with positive ESPs. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
MRNA is just one of a large group of Medical stocks with a positive ESP figure. Tactile Systems Technology (TCMD) is another qualifying stock you may want to consider.
Tactile Systems Technology is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock, and is getting ready to report earnings on November 4, 2024. TCMD's Most Accurate Estimate sits at $0.19 a share 20 days from its next earnings release.
Tactile Systems Technology's Earnings ESP figure currently stands at +7.04% after taking the percentage difference between its Most Accurate Estimate and its Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.18.
Because both stocks hold a positive Earnings ESP, MRNA and TCMD could potentially post earnings beats in their next reports.
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 >>

In the world of industrial operations, preparation is key. For the past eight months, Atlas Copco Rentals’ Account Manager in Victoria had been planning a new compressor installation with a customer, a manufacturer of condiments and spices. Initially, this was seen as a long-term backup solution, but it quickly turned into a critical contingency plan.
As the installation date for the new compressors approached, disaster struck—the existing compressor failed, causing significant production disruptions. However, thanks to the groundwork already laid, Atlas Copco Rental was able to respond swiftly. The company deployed a diesel compressor and fuel cell to the site, restoring production within hours.
Atlas Copco Rentals’ PTS1600 and fuel cell have kept the plant operational without any downtime during the hire period, which is now in its third week and expected to continue for another three weeks. Additionally, Atlas Copco Rental has managed the refueling process seamlessly, ensuring that both the unit and the fuel cell remain fully operational by organizing a tanker to refuel on-site.
In the high-stakes world of 24/7 production, downtime can be devastating. For Atlas Copco Rentals’ customer, a market leader in producing iconic Australian food brands, the potential loss of production could have cost approximately $80k per shift. Such a disruption would not only have financial repercussions but also cause significant supply chain failures and impact brand reputation.
Thankfully, this shutdown was meticulously planned between the customer and Atlas Copco Rental. The unit arrived promptly, was commissioned, and ran smoothly without any hiccups over the period. Additionally, Atlas Copco Rentals’ efficient diesel management alleviated stress and prevented resource diversion, allowing for the customer to focus on what they do best.
This experience highlights the critical importance of proactive planning and reliable support in maintaining continuous operations. Atlas Copco Rental is committed to providing swift, effective solutions that keep clients’ production lines running seamlessly, even in the face of potential crises.
Atlas Copco Rentals’ “super power” is the ability to live up to its motto “making agility count” – There has been countless meetings on site from inception to execution ensuring that communication was upheld at every stage of the process. Atlas Copco Rentals’ preparation allowed the customer to map out space for the unit to ensure safety to staff and contractors during the work.
In emergencies, having a reliable contingency plan is crucial to minimize downtime and ensure safety. Contact Atlas Copco Rental today to secure your operations with a contingency plan!

Israel has been at war with Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas since the latter staged the deadliest-ever attack on Israel on October 7th last year.
Since then, Israel's national team have played all their home games in Hungary. Their first away game in the Nations League, against Belgium, was also moved to Hungary and played behind closed doors in Debrecen after Brussels announced that it was "impossible to organise this very high-risk match".
The Belgian football federation (RBFA) said it could not find a domestic alternative "given that in Belgium, no local administration deemed it possible to organise the Red Devils' home match against Israel".
Italy, however, decided it could host Monday's Nations League match against Israel in the northern city of Udine with fans in attendance
The city was placed on high alert, with the area around the stadium cordoned off by barriers, extra security checks and an off-limits "red zone" created some 48 hours before kick-off.
But the drastically increased levels of security, including police brought in from neighbouring region and soldiers on the stadium roof, and blaring headlines in local media about a "bunker city" were out of step with the largely relaxed atmosphere around Udine.
Hours before the match pro-Palestine demonstrators - estimated by police to be around 2,000 people - marched through central Udine flanked by several police officers.
In the sparsely-populated stadium, the majority of fans replied to weak jeers from some home fans of the pre-match Israel team announcement by breaking out into a round of applause in support of their guests.
The crowd did the same for Israel's national anthem, although there were some whistles while a small section of Italy supporters stayed seated until their own nation's anthem.
France are second in Group A2 behind Italy, who they visit in their last match. Victory over Israel would ensure a place in the quarter-finals for Les Bleus.

Gaps Between James Bond Movies Are Good, Actually
This might not have been the plan, but this pattern always works out for the best.
From 1962 to 1965, there were four back-to-back James Bond movies. Like the MCU at its peak, the beginning of the 007 film franchise produced a new movie nearly every single year. But then, there was a two-year gap between Thunderball (1965) and You Only Live Twice (1967). Later, the gaps between Bond films — and Bond film eras — became more pronounced. While these periods of waiting seem frustrating while they’re happening, the reality is that whenever the James Bond franchise has had big gaps between movies, the venerable secret agent tends to come back stronger than ever.
A recent interview in The Guardian with Jennifer Salke — the global boss of MGM Studios — revealed that she believes that the world will wait for James Bond to return. “The global audience will be patient,” she said. “We don’t want too much time between films, but we are not concerned at this point.” Here’s the thing: Historically, she’s not only correct, but it’s also likely that a gap between Daniel Craig’s last film in 2021 and whatever the next Bond film is, could result in a renaissance for the Bond brand. And we know that because it’s happened many times before.
Bond reboots are forever
While just two years passed between Sean Connery’s last official Bond movie in 1971 and the first Roger Moore film in 1973, there was, interestingly, right in the middle of Roger Moore’s tenure, a three-year gap. After The Man With the Golden Gun in 1974, Moore didn’t return as Bond until 1977 with The Spy Who Loved Me. The reason for this slightly longer interval between films is vaguely analogous to what’s happening now: behind-the-scenes production changes. The Spy Who Loved Me was the first Bond film in which founding Bond co-producer Harry Saltzman was no longer involved, leading to contractual disputes that delayed the film even further. And yet The Spy Who Loved Me emerged from a crucible of uncertainty as a low-key reboot of the Moore era. This was the film that gave Moore a chance to crank up the humor, layer on the charm, and gave James Bond his unforgettable underwater Lotus Esprit. Carly Simon sang the theme song, “Nobody Does it Better,” and audiences were convinced, for a time, that it was true. James Bond came back from a hiatus utterly renewed.
In 1989, after the release of Timothy Dalton’s last Bond film, the franchise hit another setback. The details are complex, but suffice to say, Pathé Entertainment and MGM were involved in a messy rights lawsuit that suspended the franchise until December 1993, when the possibility of a new Bond began to be explored. Timothy Dalton was, at one point, set to return for a third film, but eventually, the franchise rebooted altogether in 1995 with Pierce Brosnan as James Bond in GoldenEye. Again, this was a fantastic moment of rebirth for the franchise. There were six years between the last Dalton Bond and the first Brosnan Bond, and that gap resulted in a healthy rejuvenation of the character, including the brilliant introduction of Judi Dench as Bond’s boss “M.”
You can see where this is going. By 2002, with Brosnan’s last Bond film, the franchise again went on hiatus. There was a four-year gap before Bond emerged again, this time played by Daniel Craig in Casino Royale, which was probably the most formal reboot of the franchise to date insofar as it established a new beginning for Bond, and embraced a grittier, more grounded approach to the character, including many lines taken directly from Ian Fleming’s very first Bond novel.
Craig’s tenure lasted for five films, across 15 years. And within that era, the gaps between films once again produced great results. While there were only two years between Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, there were four more years before Skyfall dropped. Like Casino Royale had done in 2006, in 2012, Skyfall once again made Bond seem fresh, proving his absence only worked to the franchise’s advantage.
Bond movie or Bond TV?
Now, regardless of who plays James Bond in the next iteration of the franchise, history tells us that this waiting period is a usually good thing. Regardless of which actor plays Bond — and what form the franchise takes — this time of uncertainty could be positive. In the new Guardian interview, Salke didn’t rule out the idea that the traditional visual medium for James Bond could change. “When you are looking at iconic intellectual property like that, you look at what the entire long-term future might be,” she said responding to the question of a hypothetically Bond TV series. “Of course, you look at every facet.” To her point, Prime Video has already dropped a Bond-related TV series; the 2023 reality TV show, 007: Road to a Million.
That said, it’s worth repeating that Salke said she didn’t want “too much time between films” indicating a James Bond movie is likely the next project. But, of course, Bond has always existed in various media simultaneously. Currently in the world of best-selling novels, the James Bond universe is bigger than ever. In addition to Kim Sherwood’s 21st-century reboot Bond books, new adventures starring “Q” — Bond’s gadget master — is set to begin publishing in 2025, starting with the novel The Quantum of Menace. If the Q Mysteries and Sherwood’s Double O series can exist in the larger world of Bond literary adventures, couldn’t the same be true of the visual 007?
The literary rights and the film rights for Bond are controlled separately, and yet there’s no reason to believe that a TV Bond couldn’t exist alongside Movie Bond. We accept this kind of thing for Batman, why not 007 and his allies?
Whether the next Bond is actually multiple Bonds or just one isn’t really the point though. Clearly, an announcement about the next big splash for the franchise is right around the corner. And if history is any guide, James Bond’s next return could be better than ever.

Inspired by the noble Italian stone called Rapolano, the Rapolano surface is a tribute to the elegance and sophistication found in 16th-century Renaissance Italian palaces, which is becoming increasingly present in today’s interior design. The gentle tone transmits balance and refinement as characteristics that have adorned historic buildings in addition to classical and modern luxury spaces.
Rapolano, part of the Fusion collection, gets its essence from those Tuscan quarries where stone was molded by nature and man for centuries. This model arouses a feeling of peace, well-being and contemplation, all while adding a touch of Italian history to today’s interior design with its exclusive texture and also full body technology.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has reviewed its policy on loan surcharges to help countries cope with the impact of higher interest rates globally that have pushed up borrowing costs.
This is the first surcharges policy review since 2016 and is expected to lower borrowing costs for nations such as Kenya that hold debt from the multilateral lender.
Surcharges are additional fees levied by the IMF on loans to countries with outstanding credit to the multilateral lender.
Why does the IMF levy surcharges?
The surcharges provide price-based incentives for members to limit the size of IMF borrowing and diversify their sources of financing. They also encourage timely repayment of IMF credit once members regain market access on favourable terms.
Surcharges thus help preserve the revolving nature of IMF resources, which is important given the institution’s limited lending capacity.
The surcharges are designed to discourage large and prolonged use of IMF resources. They are an important part of the IMF’s risk management and help the Fund to continue to play its central role as the global lender of last resort in times of crisis.
To whom do surcharges apply?
Surcharges apply only to high and prolonged borrowing of non-concessional resources from the IMF’s General Resources Account (GRA). Borrowing by low-income countries from the concessional lending facilities is not subject to surcharges.
This is because most IMF lending to low-income countries is extended under the Poverty Reduction and Growth Trust (PRGT), which is provided on concessional terms, currently at zero interest, and without surcharges.
How are surcharges calculated?
The IMF says that surcharges are a component of its lending rate and depend on the amount and duration of credit outstanding. There are two types:
• Level-based surcharges that depend on the amount of credit outstanding: 200 basis points are applied on the portion of GRA credit outstanding greater than 187.5 percent of quota.
• Time-based surcharges that depend on the length of time credit remains outstanding: 100 basis points are applied on the portion of credit exceeding the threshold of187.5 percent of quota for more than 36 months (51 months in case of borrowings under the Extended Arrangement (EFF)).
Average effective surcharge rates paid by members (on total GRA credit outstanding) are in most cases substantially lower than the marginal rate of 200 basis points (300 basis points if both level-based and time-based surcharges apply) because level-based surcharges only apply to the portion of outstanding GRA credit that exceeds 187.5 percent of a country’s quota.
When is this policy changing?
The IMF has reviewed its surcharge policy effective November 1,2024. The current structure of surcharges was agreed by the IMF Executive Board in 2009.
The last formal review of the IMF’s surcharge policy took place in 2016, when the current thresholds for level-based and time-based surcharges were approved.
What is the current surcharge threshold?
Currently, the IMF-set threshold is 187.5 percent of the quota-- meaning that a country that borrows beyond this level pays extra interest on their loans by at least two percent.
What is the new surcharge threshold and what does it mean for Kenya?
The has IMF raised the quota threshold to 300 percent November 1, 2024, —which means that Kenya would be within the compliance bracket and not subject to surcharges. Kenya currently is at 247 percent of its debt quota—way above the IMF limit and has had to be surcharged.
What is Kenya’s current debt level from the IMF?
IMF is currently one of Kenya’s top creditors, with about Sh433.5 billion owed to the lender as of April this year, according to the latest statistics from the Treasury.
This year alone, Kenya has paid a total of Sh600 million in surcharges (3.4 million Special Drawing Rights [SDR]) in three different transactions in February, May, and August, data from the IMF database shows.
The IMF SDR is an international reserve currency created to supplement the official reserves of its poor member countries. This helps countries to improve liquidity
How does the IMF surcharges policy review affect Kenya debt repayment?
With the next repayment scheduled for next month, Kenya will pay at least Sh200 million less to the IMF, as the new threshold kicks off on November 1.
How many countries will be impacted by the surcharge policy review?
The expected number of countries subject to surcharges in fiscal year 2026 will fall from 20 to 13. This will be achieved by reducing the margin over the SDR interest rate, raising the threshold for level-based surcharges, lowering the rate for time-based surcharges, and increasing the thresholds for commitment fees.

The largest wind farm in the Southern Hemisphere has begun feeding into Victoria’s electricity grid, powering Victorian homes and businesses with cheap and reliable renewable energy.
The Golden Plains Wind Farm created about 700 jobs during construction and will generate up to 70 full time ongoing jobs.
Minister for Energy and Resources Lily D’Ambrosio announced the powering up of the Golden Plains Wind Farm at Rokewood, which will be able to power 765,000 homes – or every home in regional Victoria – when fully operational.
“The Golden Plains Wind Farm will be able to power every regional Victorian home – delivering lower bills for Victorian families,” said minister for Energy and Resources Lily D’Ambrosio.
“Victoria is the clean energy investment capital of Australia, and this project is another example of how Victoria’s ambitious renewable energy policies are creating jobs and driving the renewables sector.”
Once complete, the 1.3 gigawatt (GW) wind farm will produce more than 4,000 gigawatt hours (GWh) of energy each year and meet 9 per cent of Victoria’s current energy demand.
This will be supported by a 300 megawatt (MW) battery on site, that will soak up any excess energy and export it back to the grid when it is needed most.
Since 2014, the Victorian Government has more than quadrupled the amount of power generated by wind farms and the share of electricity generated by renewables has increased from less than 10 percent to 39 percent last year.
Meeting Victoria’s renewable energy generation and energy storage targets is set to help deliver $9.5 billion in economic activity and 59,000 jobs.

In an ideal world, the former Paris Saint-Germain striker would have been able to focus fully on settling in Madrid after he moved to the Spanish capital on a five-year deal during the summer just finished.
Instead, as well as being hampered by fitness problems, Mbappe has been locked in a bitter financial dispute with his old club and is now cited as the suspect in a rape investigation, according to reports in Sweden.
Mbappe has dismissed those reports as "fake news" and is hoping to win his battle with PSG over what he claims amounts to €55 million (£46 million) in unpaid wages and bonuses from last season.
Nevertheless, the negative headlines are a blow to the player's image and remove some of the aura around a young man who has become an icon in his home country and is a global sporting superstar.
When Mbappe emerged as a teenager at Monaco almost a decade ago, he stood out because of his precocious talent but also thanks to his remarkable communication skills.
Rather than being fazed by the media spotlight, Mbappe was clearly at ease in front of the cameras and spoke with the maturity and assurance of someone considerably older.
He was a World Cup winner at 19 and went on to become the all-time top scorer at PSG, the local club of the boy from Bondy in the Paris suburbs.
Committed captain?
In March 2023, a few months after scoring a stunning hat-trick in France's World Cup final defeat by Lionel Messi's Argentina, he was named captain of the national team by coach Didier Deschamps.
That seemed a natural choice given his status in the team and in the country in general, but his position as skipper meant the decision to rest him for France's UEFA Nations League matches this month was controversial.
Mbappe had picked up a thigh injury in late September, a minor problem but one that suggested giving him a break would be beneficial in the long run.
"We need to put the player's interests first, without putting him into difficulty," Deschamps said of that decision, referring to Mbappe's relationship with his new club.
But as France's sporting press debated whether Mbappe's temporary absence from the squad was justified or a sign of a lack of commitment to the French cause, the player himself travelled to Stockholm for a short break with members of his entourage.
Swedish newspapers Aftonbladet and Expressen, and public broadcaster SVT, have since reported that he is under investigation for rape, after an alleged incident in a hotel on October 10.
A Swedish prosecutor confirmed on Tuesday that a rape investigation had been opened but did not mention Mbappe's name.
Changing attitudes
Meanwhile Mbappe, whose career is managed by his mother Fayza Lamari, has taken his financial row with PSG to a French league committee.
He is trying to recover €55 million comprised of several months' unpaid wages and a signing-on fee, money PSG claimed he agreed to waive if he departed for free at the end of last season.
Mbappe even intimated on Monday that there was a link between the rape report and the wrangle with his old team, where he spent seven years.
"It's becoming so predictable, on the eve of the hearing, as if by chance," he wrote on X on Monday.
His unhappy divorce from PSG, which saw him left out of the team on numerous occasions in the second half of last season after he announced his intention to leave, surely contributed to a disappointing European Championship with France.
Mbappe suffered a broken nose in France's opening game at Euro 2024 in June and only scored one goal, a penalty in a group-stage draw with Poland, before Les Bleus lost in the semi-finals.
He looked some way short of peak physical form and is taking his time to settle in Madrid, even if he has seven goals in his first 11 appearances.
One recent moment seemed to capture the change in attitude towards Mbappe in his home country, as he was loudly booed by Lille supporters when introduced as a substitute for Real in a Champions League game earlier this month.
Such a welcome for an opposition player may not be unusual, but it contrasted sharply with the acclaim with which he was received around France in the aftermath of the last World Cup.

When it comes to horror, few video games can hold a candle to Resident Evil. For decades, the zombie-infested franchise has defined what it means to be a horror game, and one of the key creators responsible for that is series creator Shinji Mikami. While Resident Evil has proven to be an unstoppable juggernaut, Mikami left the franchise to create something new and, somehow, made lightning strike twice. The Evil Within is another visionary game from Mikami, but with a much different flavor than Resident Evil — and it has aged like fine wine.
In 2010, Shinji Mikami left Capcom to found his own studio, Tango Gameworks — which would go on to develop Ghostwire Tokyo and Hi-Fi Rush. Four years after its founding, Tango released The Evil Within as its debut game, and it’s one heck of a debut.
The Evil Within is a “classic” survival horror game in every sense; you creep through eerie environments filled with horrific enemies, need to manage your ammo and healing items constantly, and are often forced to solve little puzzles to keep advancing. But where Resident Evil deals with more physical horror, The Evil Within dives headfirst into psychological horror.
You play as Krimson City Police Detective Sebastian Castellanos, who, along with his squad, finds himself tasked with investigating a mass murder at Beacon Mental Hospital. As Sebastian investigates the bizarre incident, he encounters an equally strange hooded man. Quite suddenly, Sebastian’s squad is drawn into a horrifyingly unreal world, where twisted humans and creatures crave their blood, and the very fabric of reality tries to end them.
The story of The Evil Within is admittedly hard to follow, but that’s intentional. The final act of the game brings all the pieces together. But that’s actually the biggest drawing point of this game — seeing the story get more and more unhinged.
The Evil Within goes to some truly wild places by the end, diving into memories Inception-style, reshaping reality, battling a giant gruesome brain. It’s a game that’s huge on gore and body horror and uses both effectively, but there’s also an inherent sense of goofiness in the overall tone. The actors, especially Sebastian, do a great job of hamming up the story, making it feel like one of those classic 90’s Grindhouse films — but playable. This is a horror game, of course, so expect a few scares along the way, although The Evil Within is more unnerving and creepy than outright scary.
From a gameplay standpoint, The Evil Within is most easily comparable to Resident Evil 4. Tight shooting and item management are coupled with the game becoming increasingly unhinged and grotesque. You control Sebastian from an over-the-shoulder view and have a variety of guns and weapons to choose from, combining those with stealth. You constantly have to weigh trying to sneak around enemies to conserve ammo or just take them down, or being forced to fight if you aren’t stealthy enough. The Evil Within’s shooting feels crunchy and satisfying, there’s a weight to it, which feels fitting for how every bullet you use is a bullet that might keep you alive later down the road.
As visionary as The Evil Within feels, it’s not without its rough edges. The opening of the game, and the first few hours, can feel abysmally slow until the story really takes off. The stealth can feel a bit finicky, and there are a couple of boss battles that have specific gimmicks. But those small flaws ultimately feel like they add to the experience — The Evil Within is an imperfect masterpiece.
As much as I could wax poetic about the game, the sheer lunacy of where this story goes needs to be seen to be believed. The Evil Within is masterful with its horror aesthetics and tone, finds the sweet spot for item management in survival horror, and has enemy designs you’ll see in your sleep. All these years later it’s clear the game has become a classic, another piece of proof that Shinji Mikami is one of the most important creators in the history of video games.

A Minnesota horticulture teacher remained the reigning champion Monday of an annual pumpkin-weighing contest in Northern California where his massive gourds have won the top prize four years in a row.
Travis Gienger, of Anoka, Minnesota, beat his closest competitor by 6 pounds (2.7 kilograms) to clinch the victory at the 51st World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off in Half Moon Bay, south of San Francisco.
His winning gourd came in at 2,471 pounds (1,121 kilograms), falling short of the world record he set last year with a pumpkin weighing 2,749 pounds (1,247 kilograms).
Gienger, 44, said that as he has done in the past, he focused on having healthy soil and well-fed plants but that a cold fall with record-breaking rain likely impacted his pumpkin's growth.

"It takes a lot of good soil biology, good soil health and a lot of work in the beginning to get it this big," said Gienger. He also constructed a tent over the pumpkin to get it growing early.
“We had really, really tough weather and somehow, some way, I kept on working," Gienger said. “I had to work for this one, and we got it done at the end, but it wasn’t by much.”
Gienger and his family drove his gargantuan gourd for 35 hours to California.

Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
He said the giant pumpkin's next stop will be in Southern California, where a team of professional carvers will do a 3D carve on it at a Halloween event.
In addition to a cash prize of $9 per pound for the winning gourd, which amounts to $22,239, Gienger will also receive a championship ring and a coveted Mel Mello Sr. Grand Champion Growers Jacket.

While mobile apps are convenient and perfect for quick edits, desktop software offers more control and advanced editing options. If you're looking for complex features like layer editing, it’s worth investing in a desktop solution like Adobe Photoshop.

Monicah Mwaniki is a sociologist who co-founded Arvocap Asset Managers, an asset management company.
At Arvocap, she is the CEO, making her one of the two women in Kenya running companies that offer fund management, wealth advisory, family offices and corporate finance solutions.
Investment trusts are still overwhelmingly run by men.
Research from the Association of Investment Companies shows that just 12 percent of trust managers globally are women, a figure that is growing at a “glacial pace.”
She talks to the BDLife about how she transitioned from sociology to fixed-income dealership.
Your background in sociology is quite unique, especially considering your career in finance. How did you make that transition?
I’ve always had a passion for mathematics, excelling in it throughout high school, where I even participated in various math contests. On some occasions, I would even teach lessons in place of my teacher.
In university, I became increasingly interested in understanding human behavior, which naturally led me to sociology. However, my love for math never faded. I pursued a CPA qualification alongside my degree in sociology and environmental studies, allowing me to integrate both my interests.
How has your sociology background been beneficial in finance? Many say that emotions play a significant role in investment decisions.
It’s been incredibly valuable. Understanding investor behavior—whether they’re institutions or individuals—has been crucial.
Knowing when and how to communicate effectively, being able to read cues, and relating well with others are skills that give me an edge in this industry.
Your career reflects a willingness to explore your interests. Many professionals tend to stay within one field, while you've ventured into several. What advice would you give to someone wanting to step out of their comfort zone?
It’s essential to recognize that academic qualifications are just the beginning—they don't define your ability in any field. Instead, they teach you how to think.
If you approach your education seriously, you can excel in almost any area. But clarity is key. Be very clear about what you want to achieve, and remain open to opportunities beyond your initial training.
After a successful corporate career, what motivated you to start something similar yet distinct, something you could call your own?
I consider myself daring. After years of engaging with clients, I felt a higher calling. Alongside my talented co-founders, we saw both challenges and opportunities that led to the creation of Arvocap Asset Managers.
This was a big leap for me, as the asset management field has established heavyweights, but I was ready to shake things up and make an impact.
You’re a mother of three and have built a successful career. How have you balanced family and professional life?
Balancing both is challenging, and I believe something always has to give—that’s just reality. I’ve been fortunate to have a strong support system.
My family steps in whenever necessary, whether it’s for a school event or other commitments. But beyond that, personal motivation is what keeps everything on track.
What advice would you give to women striving for similar success while also raising a family?
Take your time and avoid rushing into anything. The pressure of the biological clock can sometimes feel overwhelming, but if you can quiet that pressure, you’ll be just fine. It’s also important to reevaluate your goals.
Many people set strict timelines for achievements—let go of those self-imposed limits. Focus on putting your best foot forward, and you’ll stay afloat.
Did you borrow some of this advice?
If I am to be very honest with myself, looking back I rushed certain decisions. But every step has its pros and cons, and I’ve grown by taking those bold risks.
You also enjoy travel and exercise. Could you tell us more about your fitness routine?
Exercise is like magic for me. Whether it's jogging or aerobics, it renews my energy and clears my mind. I work out at least three times a week, and more if I can. It’s an essential part of my routine.
You’re involved in philanthropy and are the founder of Jaberaz. Can you tell us about this group?
Jaberaz is a sisterhood of women who all met in high school around 2005 or 2006. There are twelve of us, and we’ve shared so much—supporting one another, exploring new places, and encouraging each other through life’s challenges. Jaberaz is more than just a group; it’s become like family, a way for us to navigate life together.
Finally, what has life taught you?
If you are intentional about how you do things, you will be amazed at the results you get.

The Japanese had won nine consecutive World Cup qualifiers without conceding but Shogo Taniguchi put Lewis Miller's low cross into his own goal in the 58th minute to give the Socceroos an unexpected lead.
Popovic, in his second game in charge since replacing Graham Arnold last month, had set his side up in an ultra-defensive formation and looked to hold on to their advantage.
But substitute Keito Nakamura eventually unlocked the Socceroos' defence with 14 minutes remaining, dancing through the backline before powering the ball across the face of goal for Cameron Burgess to deflect into his own net.
The result moves Japan, looking for an eighth successive World Cup qualification, onto 10 points from four games with the Australians five points behind in second place and Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, who play later on Tuesday, a point further adrift.
"My experience as part of this team is that in the most difficult moments that's when the boys stand up, no excuses," said Australia captain Jackson Irvine.
"To put in a performance like that tonight, I'm very proud of everybody. The calmness and composure we had to show, having to defend in hard moments right to the very last ball, it's a top foundation for us to move forward with."
China picked up their first win in Group C as Branko Ivankovic's side defeated Indonesia 2-1 in Qingdao with first half goals from Behram Abduweli and Zhang Yuning securing the three points.
South Korea, who have appeared at every World Cup since 1986, secured a 3-2 win over Iraq in Seoul as Hong Myung-bo's side registered a second win in a row to move clear at the top of Group B.
Oh Se-hun put the Koreans ahead in the top-of-the-table clash four minutes before half-time but Aymen Hussein's overhead kick five minutes into the second half levelled the score.
Oh Hyeon-gyu restored Korea's lead with 16 minutes remaining and Lee Jae-sung scored his side's third nine minutes later to leave Ibrahim Bayesh's 95th minute goal as nothing more than a consolation for Jesus Casas' team.
Later on Tuesday, Group A leaders Uzbekistan will host the United Arab Emirates while second-placed Iran take on Asian Cup holders Qatar and Kyrgyzstan entertain North Korea.
Jordan will take on Oman in Group B with Palestine facing Kuwait.

On October 15, a day of immense importance in India and internationally, we celebrate the birth anniversary of Dr. Awal Pahir Jainul Abdin Abdin Kalam, a prominent and inspirational figure in Indian history, fondly called the ‘Rocket Man of India’. It is said that Dr. Kalam’s enduring impact and contributions have served as a source of inspiration for generations, on this auspicious day we honor and respect his unique legacy.
The Early Life of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam
Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam was born on October 15, 1931, in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu, India. He comes from a humble background, growing up in a small town and facing many challenges. Despite the odds, his passion for learning and unwavering determination led him to pursue higher education in aerospace engineering.
Attaining Mastery in Aerospace Engineering
Dr. A.S. Kalam’s educational background brought him to the Madras Institute of Technology where he excelled in his studies. Later, due to his dedication and commitment, he studied aeronautical engineering at the prestigious National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in the United States. The experience shaped his career and fueled his passion for science and technology.
ISRO and India's Space Ambitions
On his return to India, Dr. Kalam joined the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), where he was instrumental in developing India's first satellite launch vehicle, SLV-III. Their contribution to the successful launch of the Rohini satellite marked a milestone in India's space journey. Dr. Kalam's work at ISRO laid the foundation for the country's space ambitions, which have continued to flourish over the years.
The Missile Man of India
While his achievements in the field of space exploration were remarkable, Dr. Kalam's most enduring legacy is his contribution to India's defense capabilities. He headed the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program (IGMDP) and was instrumental in the development of ballistic missile technology. Under his leadership, India achieved major advances in missile technology, including the successful test of the Agni and Prithvi missiles.
Presidential Journey:
In 2002, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam was elected as the 11th President of India. His presidency has been marked by his commitment to education, youth, and technology. He continued to inspire young minds across the country and inspire them to dream big and work for a prosperous India.
UN's Tribute to the Missile Man:
To pay tribute to Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, the United Nations officially declared his birthday as World Students' Day, a gesture that serves as a lasting reminder of the remarkable achievements of the Missile Man.
Nurturing Education and Empowering Youth:
Dr. Kalam believed strongly in the power of education and the potential of India’s youth. He interacted tirelessly with students, encouraging them to pursue careers in science and technology. His books, especially "Fire Wings" and "Sparkling Mind," remain popular with young readers and continue to inspire countless people to chase their dreams.
Conclusion:
Dr. Kalam‘s co-operation in science, technology, and defense has left a definite mark on India's development. As we celebrate his birth, remember and honor India's rocket man with a vision of a prosperous and strong nation born out of dreams and aspirations—the desire of youth. Dr. Kalamas' legacy will inspire generations to come and remind us that the sky is not the limit; It is the beginning of the journey to greatness.

Will NASA’s Europa Clipper Really Find Aliens? Here’s What the Spacecraft Can and Can’t Do
What could be lurking under Europa’s icy shell?
The idea that extraterrestrial life could exist in our Solar System got one of its earliest boosts almost half a century ago when NASA spacecraft first photographed the more intricate details of Jupiter’s icy moon, Europa.
The Voyager 2 mission captured a puzzlingly smooth surface in July 1979. It also found what astronomers have dubbed “crop circles.” On Earth, people attribute supernatural forces or alien visitors to these mysterious patterns formed from depressions in a field of wheat. But “crop circles” is also a name astronomers have given the puzzling, faint troughs on Europa’s surface. No, scientists don’t think they were made by intelligent alien life, but they do think they could be a sign that Europa might have the right ingredients to support life. If surface ice were moving around, it would create these troughs. And that morphing ice would exist because of hydrothermal activity, which could theoretically support life.
Europa’s crop circles will be better understood (hopefully) when Europa Clipper, NASA’s largest planetary mission in its 66-year history, completes the 1.8 billion mile trek through space that it began on Monday. Its mission will attempt to answer one of NASA's most ambitious questions: Are we alone in the universe?
Will Clipper find life on Europa?
For one, astrobiologists need to make sure Europa has plumes, which are vents of water and other material erupting out from beneath the surface. Confirmed plumes would be a sign that Europa is a geologically-active celestial body that is churning around heat and chemical ingredients that are known to be key to life. Clipper will also act as reconnaissance to spot a promising landing site for a potential future spacecraft.
It’s part of NASA’s hunt for signs that this icy moon is habitable to life. Based on brief visits from NASA missions like Voyager 2, Galileo, New Horizons, and Juno, researchers think Europa is covered in a 15-mile-thick shell of ice. But despite the ice’s fragility, the surface has remarkably few large craters. This points to the possibility that Europa is actively regenerating ice from a global subsurface ocean.
“Traces of what we call crop circles could be the sign of the ice shell moving,” Ines Belgacem, a planetary scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said during a session on October 8 at the 56th Annual Meeting of the American Astronomical Society’s Division for Planetary Sciences in Boise, Idaho.
And, if hydrothermal activity under Europa’s surface punches through its shell, Clipper’s suite of instruments may get a peek of the potentially life-supporting chemicals that lie beneath.
Under the surface is where life would be: Europa’s exterior is too harsh a place. Below the ice, alien life might have both shelter and warmth. Jupiter has almost three times more surface gravity than Earth, and the gas giant is more than twice as massive as all the other Solar System planets combined. More mass means more gravity; and Jupiter’s powerful gravity tugs at Europa mightily. The moon’s elliptical orbit adds to the existing stress, promoting uneven pressures during orbit. This physical tension might be causing heat to be released on the seafloor of Europa’s ocean.
If chemical compounds exist in this water, whether generated on-site, or carried over from volcanic moon Io and made their way to the subsurface thanks to the dynamics of the ice, nutrients for life might be swimming in the ocean.
Clipper will perform 49 flybys of Europa starting in 2031. Some of these may become “recon-able” flybys, Belgacem said, where the spacecraft would target regions with crop circles to see if they’re good places for a future lander to further probe the questions about habitability.
After analyzing Clipper’s flight plan, Belgacem and colleagues have an early idea about what these landing-site-scouting flybys require. That may change as the mission progresses. For now, the crop circle region must be on Europa’s dayside during the flyby. Altitude is also important. “We need to have an altitude that's sufficient for high resolution, but also not so low that we wouldn't be able to take good images,” Belgacem said. Shadows are another consideration. “The idea is you don't want too much shadow because you wouldn't see anything, and you don't want too few shadows because you need to assess the topography.”
Belgacem added that so far, 12 of the currently-planned 49 flybys are planned to scout for future landing sites.
Plumes, if they are there, would be a thrilling discovery. Another ice-shelled moon of the outer Solar System, Enceladus, stunned NASA’s Cassini mission team when the Saturn world revealed a magnificent jet to the spacecraft in 2005. The Hubble Space Telescope found evidence of “suspected plumes of water” on Europa in 2014. But they haven’t been confirmed.
Once Europa Clipper begins its investigations next decade, humanity will come one step closer to learning if life exists in Jupiter’s shadow.

Walgreens plans to close 1,200 stores over the next three years, the pharmacy chain said on Tuesday. It's part of the company's plan for a turnaround, as it faces retail competition and lower prescription payouts.
Chief Executive Tim Wentworth said about a quarter of the company’s stores are unprofitable. Walgreens has been on a $1-billion cost-cutting spree. It's already been shutting some stores, shaking up leadership and renegotiating its deals with insurers.
Walgreens, which also owns the British drugstore chain Boots, reported a net loss of $3 billion in the latest quarter. This was actually better than expected, with sales growing 6%.
Walgreens isn't the only big pharmacy chain attempting a turnaround. Rite Aid last month emerged from bankruptcy; CVS has also closed stores and reportedly weighs a breakup to undo its mergers with the insurance company Aetna and with Caremark, a pharmacy benefits manager.
The convenience-store part of pharmacy chains has been losing shoppers to Amazon, Walmart, Costco, grocery stores and dollar stores. Many of those rivals also fill prescriptions, competing for pharmacy customers, too.
Pharmacy chains have over-expanded to thousands of locations over the years, signing long-term leases for pricey corner locations. But many shoppers have criticized the quality of the stores, complaining about understaffing and the inaccessibility of items that are locked up to prevent theft. Pharmacies, for their part, have complained about shrinking profits for filling prescriptions, citing dramatic declines in reimbursement rates.
In light of these challenges, CVS and Walgreens have looked for profits elsewhere. They've tried to add primary-care clinics, a project that costs a lot of time and money. The chains have also proposed new payout structures for prescriptions, with Walgreens on Tuesday warning that it would be "willing to walk away from a line of business, if it doesn't make sense."
"I'm very confident that over a two- to three-year period we will have reset the framework for reimbursement discussions," Walgreens CEO Wentworth told investors on Tuesday.
He also added that Walgreens is focusing on adding more store-brand products to its chain. That tactic has been successful for Boots in Britain, though it has not done as well in the U.S. so far. Wentworth also said the chain would work to re-hire workers from stores that will close and added that overall, "Many of our actions across this turnaround will take time."

You have previously given us quite a comprehensive list of car things to check before a rainy season. For those of us who are too busy, lazy or just forgetful, what items are most urgent to check? Weather Watcher
Prioritise items that are directly related to safety, even if you don’t have time to attend those that help protect the car itself.
Top of the list? The tread depth of your tyres, especially if your driving involves highway journeys at relatively high speeds. Aquaplaning is one of the most likely causes of a serious accident. The risk is highest on (but not restricted to) tarmac roads with poor drainage - not an uncommon feature in these parts.
If the tyres are anywhere near due for renewal, wet weather is a good time to make the change, both for the aquaplaning reason and because wet (cooler) surfaces help “run-in” the tyre more gently.
Next, if your brakes have any tendency to snatch or pull to one side, have them adjusted now. On a slippery surface that pull is more likely to become a skid.
Also, ensure wiper blades and washer reservoir are full and the nozzles and that the windscreen demister are operating properly. Poor visibility is high on the wet-weather risk list.
Visibility is not just how clearly you can see others, but also how well others can see you. Check the operation and clarity of rear lights, brake lights and indicators.
Other more generally recommended checks - such as missing or blocked drain plugs, rusty jack screws, dust (that will turn to caked mud) in door panels, wax polish to inhibit corrosion on scratches, tears in grease boots, no trapped dirt on the underfloor etc., are all still a “good idea” for your car’s sake.

I (25F) live with my sister (23F) in a shared apartment. I had initially moved to this city for work and lived alone in a rental for six months. When my sister relocated to this city for a job, we decided to move somewhere between our offices. The lease is under her name because I sublet my previous place to a friend, since I still had 6 months left on my contract.
At first, the pranks were minimal and it didn’t bother me so much. Think somewhere along the lines of hiding my toothbrush or tickling my feet while I was sleeping. It was also new because she never really did things like this when we were growing up.
A few weeks later, the pranks started escalating. She would pour water on me when I was sleeping to see my reaction. She rearranged everything in my drawers, it took me hours to clean it up. She even lit a piece of cloth on fire then burst out laughing when I began panicking.
My final straw was last week. She showed new neighbours who hadn’t met me yet pictures of me and said I was her stalker, told them to keep an eye out. A few days later, the new neighbors spotted me walking to my door. A few minutes later, 2 cops are knocking on my door and arresting me for breaking into the place because that’s what the new neighbors told them.
I had to wait at the police station for hours until my sister came in to clear things up. I was so angry, I just started crying. I couldn’t take it anymore. I didn’t feel safe in my home anymore. And my sister still thought it wasn’t that big of a deal because I didn’t "really" get arrested.
I called in sick to work the next day, waited for my sister to leave then packed my clothes and checked into a hotel for the night. Came back the next morning to get the rest of my belongings and some furniture I could stuff into the back of my car and moved out.
I’m staying in my old apartment now with my friend while I sort things out. Texted my sister to let her know I’m done and that she can keep whatever I left behind. Now my sister is bombarding me with calls and texts. At first it was just tears and apologies, she said she went too far this time and swore up and down that she would stop. When I didn’t respond, she turned hostile and started calling me an ahole.
My dad stepped in today and called to tell me that while he disagrees with her pranks, I shouldn’t have left my sister high and dry, especially with the rent payments, now that I wont be contributing to half of it anymore.
My sister thinks I’m an ahole for putting her in this situation and making her finances suffer. AITA here for just leaving without a heads up? My dad says I could have at least given her a month’s notice so she could get things in order.

Since you aren’t on the lease not your problem. Also being arrested can probably be considered a constructive eviction. NTA.
Traveling-Techie said:
Tell me she’s the Golden Child without telling me she’s the Golden Child. NTA.
TeenySod said:
NTA. Although I do have to ask why on earth you didn't give her notice when she kept waking you up as a "joke" or messed up your things. This is not acceptable adult behavior. If this is real, stand your ground. Getting you arrested isn't funny.
lejosdecasa said:
NTA. She sounds insufferable. And living with her sounds awful. If she didn't want the person who was paying half the rent (who wasn't on the lease) to move out, maybe she should have been nicer.
Apprehensive_War9612 said:
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. That last “prank” could have gotten you killed. What if the neighbor was overzealous and thought they were protecting a single woman living alone & responded with a weapon not a call to police? Foh. Dad can help pay her rent. NTA.
Stormy111161 said:
NTA. Your sister and your Dad are real pieces of work. You did not put your sister in this position, she put herself in this position. Your Dad only disagrees with her pranks and thinks you should have given her a month to continue to torture you. What the hell?
takatine said:
NTA. You said the lease has only her name on it, so you're free and clear. As other's have said, tell daddy his princess is his problem now. The whole stalking and police debacle was a bridge too goddamned far. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Sister got exactly what she deserves.

In Kazan, employees of several companies were asked not to use their old cars during the days of the BRICS summit. People were also asked to minimize the use of personal cars, since "their old, rusty and excessively loud cars will tarnish the look of the city," 116.ru reports.
According to an unnamed employee of one of the companies, the management suggested that employees should use public transport and leave their personal cars in garages or at least park them further away.
In addition, students of one of Kazan technical schools were advised not to drive their "rattlers with loud music on not to disgrace the city."
The BRICS summit will be held in Kazan on October 22-24. Students of city universities, colleges and technical schools will switch to distance learning during these days, whereas schools changed the dates of autumn school holidays as well.
According to updated information, though, "there is no ban on driving old cars and motorcycles" implemented, Vladimir Kazantsev, the head of the information and analytical department of the mayor's office said.
"As far as I know, there is no ban on driving old cars and motorcycles. We don't have such bans,” Kazantsev said.
Parents of preschoolers were advised not to take their children to kindergartens from October 21 to 25. Schools in the city will start autumn holidays earlier — from October 21 to 28. The Kazan Federal University also announced a two-week holiday time from October 17.
Kazan is the largest city and capital of Tatarstan, Russia. The city lies at the confluence of the Volga and the Kazanka Rivers, covering an area of 425.3 square kilometres (164.2 square miles), with a population of over 1.3 million residents, and up to nearly 2 million residents in the greater metropolitan area. Kazan is the fifth-largest city in Russia, being the most populous city on the Volga, as well as within the Volga Federal District.

Paul Pogba has addressed the recent links to Olympique Marseille, following Patrice Evra’s offer to speak with the Ligue 1 club about signing him.
The midfielder is set to resume training in January and will be eligible to play in March after his initial four-year ban was reduced on appeal. Juventus, however, is already planning for a future without him and is currently in discussions to terminate his contract before its final year.
Pogba is open to the idea of moving on and is eager to restart his career as soon as he is eligible. A move to Marseille is an appealing option, as the club is in contention with PSG for the Ligue 1 title this season. His arrival could bolster their chances of winning the league in the second half of the campaign. For now, though, his focus remains on Juventus.
Asked about Evra’s comments on OM, Pogba said, as quoted by Calciomercato:
“I laugh about it because it’s Uncle Pat, he said it jokingly. I’m still under contract so it’s not credible. The possibility of coming to play in Ligue 1? I’m at a club, I’m just thinking about coming back and getting out of this situation. Of course, you never know what tomorrow will bring, so never say never.”
Juve FC Says
We need to end Pogba’s contract as soon as possible and move on with our lives so we can focus on on-field matters.

The intensifying diplomatic dispute between India and Canada is raising alarms across various sectors, notably IT, cybersecurity, and education. Although the conflict is rooted in political and security matters, its consequences are increasingly evident in the realms of business, technology, and academia. This article delves into the far-reaching impact of this diplomatic standoff, focusing on how it is affecting Canadian IT firms operating in India, Indian tech companies based in Canada, cybersecurity challenges, and the future prospects for Indian students pursuing ICT studies in Canada.
Impact on Canadian IT Companies in India
Canadian IT firms have long viewed India as a valuable destination for outsourcing and talent acquisition. Companies like CGI, a leading Canadian IT services firm, have established a strong presence in the Indian market, employing thousands of professionals. However, with diplomatic tensions running high, these companies face the risk of strained regulatory environments and operational challenges. The diplomatic discord could lead to disruptions in the hiring of skilled Indian tech talent and increased scrutiny from the Indian government.
As relations between the two countries continue to deteriorate, Canadian firms in India might encounter challenges in maintaining partnerships and navigating bureaucratic hurdles, which could ultimately impact their bottom lines.
Indian IT Companies in Canada
Indian IT firms like Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys, and Wipro have expanded their operations in Canada over the years, contributing significantly to the Canadian economy. These companies provide a wide range of IT services, including software development, consulting, and cloud computing, creating thousands of jobs.
The current diplomatic fallout, however, poses a potential risk to these companies. Stricter immigration policies, visa delays, and heightened scrutiny of Indian nationals could complicate their operations. Moreover, the strained ties might make it harder for Indian companies to secure new contracts with Canadian government agencies and businesses, impacting revenue streams.
Cybersecurity Angle
In the age of cyber espionage and global digital interconnectedness, diplomatic tensions between nations often lead to heightened cybersecurity risks. Both India and Canada are members of international cybersecurity alliances, and their cooperation is vital in mitigating global cyber threats. However, the escalating tensions could lead to a breakdown in cybersecurity collaborations, leaving both countries more vulnerable to cyberattacks.
Moreover, with allegations of covert operations and political espionage, there is a real risk of retaliatory cyber actions. Government systems, financial institutions, and critical infrastructure could become prime targets for cyber threats from state-sponsored actors.
Impact on Indian Students in Canada’s ICT Sector
Canada has been a top destination for Indian students seeking higher education, particularly in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Indian students contribute significantly to Canadian universities and the economy, with many opting to stay and work in Canada’s tech industry after completing their studies.
However, the ongoing diplomatic crisis may deter new students from choosing Canada as their study destination. Visa processing delays, concerns over safety, and a less welcoming environment may lead to a decline in Indian student enrollment in Canadian ICT programs. Furthermore, students currently studying in Canada may face uncertainties regarding their future job prospects, especially with Canadian tech companies that collaborate closely with Indian partners.
Diplomatic Escalation Between India and Canada
The recent diplomatic fallout was triggered by allegations from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, linking Indian government agents to the killing of a Canadian national with ties to the Khalistani separatist movement. In response, India has vehemently denied the allegations, and both countries have expelled several diplomats.
This tit-for-tat diplomatic exchange has further deteriorated relations, with no clear path to resolution in sight. The removal of diplomats complicates communications, making it harder for both countries to engage in meaningful dialogue.
Trade and Economic Relations Between India and Canada
Despite the political tensions, trade between India and Canada has remained relatively stable. According to recent data, bilateral merchandise trade between the two nations grew from $8.3 billion in 2022-23 to $8.4 billion in 2023-24. However, if the diplomatic crisis continues, it could disrupt trade flows, particularly in sectors like technology, energy, and natural resources.
IT companies on both sides may face barriers to expanding their businesses, leading to lost opportunities for growth. Moreover, the breakdown in diplomatic ties may delay any progress on pending trade agreements, including a potential Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between India and Canada.
The Political Context: Khalistan and Separatist Movements
At the heart of this diplomatic dispute is the longstanding issue of the Khalistani separatist movement. Canada has been home to a vocal minority of pro-Khalistan supporters, which has been a point of contention between the two countries. The recent killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Khalistani sympathizer, has reignited tensions, with Canada accusing Indian agents of involvement.
This issue has created a deep rift in India-Canada relations, overshadowing other areas of cooperation, including trade, education, and technology.
Potential Ramifications on Indian Diplomats in Canada
As diplomatic tensions escalate, the safety and well-being of Indian diplomats in Canada have become a significant concern. Canada’s government has made claims of Indian covert operations, which could put Indian diplomats at risk of harassment or violence from certain extremist factions. In response, India has withdrawn several key diplomats from Canada, signaling a sharp deterioration in bilateral relations.
Public Sentiment in India and Canada
Public reactions in both countries have been divided. In Canada, the issue has become a polarizing topic, with some citizens supporting the government’s actions, while others criticize Trudeau for his handling of the situation. In India, there is widespread support for the government’s firm stance, especially given the historical context of the Khalistani movement.
Impact on Five Eyes Intelligence Alliance
Canada’s role in the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing alliance is crucial, and its ongoing tensions with India could impact global intelligence-sharing efforts. Both countries are vital players in the global intelligence ecosystem, and a breakdown in trust could have far-reaching consequences for international security.
The Role of the Media in Escalating the Issue
Media coverage on both sides has played a pivotal role in escalating tensions. Canadian media has been particularly vocal in its criticism of India, while Indian outlets have strongly defended the country’s position. Sensationalist reporting and misinformation may have contributed to the deepening rift, making it harder for cooler heads to prevail.
India’s Strategic Diplomatic Moves
India’s decision to expel Canadian diplomats and recall its High Commissioner was a calculated move to send a strong message to the Trudeau government. This step is part of India’s broader strategy to assert its position on the global stage and protect its national interests.
Canada’s Diplomatic Response
In response to India’s actions, Canada has expelled several Indian diplomats and continued to make public statements about India’s alleged involvement in criminal activities on Canadian soil. The Trudeau government has also sought support from its allies, particularly within the Five Eyes network.
Conclusion
The ongoing diplomatic row between India and Canada shows no signs of abating soon. The fallout is being felt across multiple sectors, from IT and cybersecurity to education and trade. While the immediate impacts may not be catastrophic, prolonged tensions could severely harm bilateral relations in the long run. For now, both countries will need to carefully navigate these treacherous waters to prevent further escalation.

Ex-Louisville officer who fired shots in Breonna Taylor raid readies for 3rd trial
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A former Louisville police officer accused of acting recklessly when he fired shots into Breonna Taylor’s windows the night of the deadly 2020 police raid is going on trial for a third time.
Federal prosecutors will try again to convict Brett Hankison of civil rights violations after their first effort ended in a mistrial due to a deadlocked jury a year ago. Hankison was also acquitted of wanton endangerment charges for firing 10 shots into Taylor’s apartment at a state trial in 2022.
Jury selection in U.S. District Court in Louisville began Tuesday. In last year’s trial, the process took most of three days.
Hankison is the only officer who has faced a jury trial so far in Taylor’s death, which sparked months of street protests for the fatal shooting of the 26-year-old Black woman by white officers, drawing national attention to police brutality incidents in the summer of 2020. Though he was not one of the officers who shot Taylor, federal prosecutors say Hankison’s actions put Taylor and her boyfriend and her neighbors in danger.
On the night of the raid, Louisville officers went to Taylor’s house to serve a drug warrant, which was later found to be flawed. Taylor’s boyfriend, believing an intruder was barging in, fired a single shot that hit one of the officers, and officers returned fire, striking Taylor in her hallway multiple times.
As those shots were being fired, Hankison, who was behind a group of officers at the door, ran to the side of the apartment and fired into Taylor’s windows, later saying he thought he saw a figure with a rifle and heard assault rifle rounds being fired.
“I had to react,” Hankison testified in last year’s federal trial. “I had no choice.”
Some of the shots went through Taylor’s apartment and into another unit where a couple and a child lived. Those neighbors have testified at Hankison’s previous trials.
Police were looking for drugs and cash in Taylor’s apartment, but they found neither.
At the conclusion of testimony in Hankison’s trial last year, the 12-member jury struggled for days to reach a consensus. Jurors eventually told U.S. District Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings they were deadlocked and could not come to a decision — prompting Jennings’ declaration of a mistrial.
The judge said there were “elevated voices” coming from the jury room at times during deliberations, and court security officials had to visit the room. Jennings said the jury had “a disagreement that they cannot get past.”
Hankison was one of four officers who were charged by the U.S. Department of Justice in 2022 with violating Taylor’s civil rights. The two counts against him carry a maximum penalty of life in prison if he is convicted.
U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said Taylor “should be alive today” when he announced the federal charges in August 2022.
But those charges so far have yielded just one conviction — a plea deal from a former Louisville officer who was not at the raid and became a cooperating witness — while felony civil rights charges against two officers accused of falsifying information in the warrant used to enter Taylor’s apartment were thrown out by a judge last month.
In that ruling, a federal judge in Louisville wrote that the actions of Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, who fired a shot at police, were the legal cause of her death, not a bad warrant. The ruling effectively reduced the civil rights violation charges against former officers Joshua Jaynes and Kyle Meany, which had carried a maximum sentence of life in prison, to misdemeanors. They still face other lesser federal charges, and prosecutors have since indicted Jaynes and Meany on additional charges.
