ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Ten times as many migrants died in New Mexico near the U.S.-Mexico border in each of the last two years compared with just five years ago as smuggling gangs steer them — exhausted, dehydrated and malnourished — mostly into the hot desert, canyons or mountains west of El Paso, Texas.
During the first eight months of 2024, the bodies of 108 presumed migrants mostly from Mexico and Central America were found near the border in New Mexico and often less than 10 miles (6 kilometers) from El Paso, according to the most recent data. The remains of 113 presumed migrants were found in New Mexico in 2023, compared with nine in 2020 and 10 in 2019.
It's not clear exactly why more migrants are being found dead in that area, but many experts say smugglers are treating migrants more harshly and bringing them on paths that could be more dangerous in extreme summer temperatures.
The influx has taxed the University of New Mexico's Office of the Medical Investigator, which identifies the dead and conducts autopsies that almost always show the cause as heat-related.
"Our reaction was sadness, horror and surprise because it had been very consistently low for as long as anyone can remember," said Heather Edgar, a forensic anthropologist with the office.
Serving the entire state, the office over two years has added deputy medical investigators to handle the extra deaths on top of the usual 2,500 forensic cases.
"We'd always had three deputies down in that area, and I think we have nine or 10 now," Edgar said of New Mexico's eastern migration corridor.
Immigration and border security are among voters' top concerns heading into the Nov. 5 presidential contest, but the candidates have focused on keeping migrants out of the U.S. and deporting those already here.
The increase in deaths is a humanitarian concern for advocates as smugglers guide migrants into New Mexico through fencing gaps at the border city of Sunland Park and over low-lying barriers west of the nearby Santa Teresa Port of Entry.
"People are dying close to urban areas, in some cases just 1,000 feet from roads," noted Adam Isacson, an analyst for the nongovernmental Washington Office on Latin America. He said water stations, improved telecommunications and more rescue efforts could help.
New Mexico officials are targeting human-smuggling networks, recently arresting 16 people and rescuing 91 trafficking victims. U.S. Customs and Border Protection added a surveillance blimp to monitor the migration corridor near its office in Santa Teresa, in New Mexico's Doña Ana County. Movable 33-foot (10-meter) towers use radar to scan the area.
U.S. officials in recent years have added 30 more push-button beacons that summon emergency medical workers along remote stretches of the border at New Mexico and western Texas. They have also set up more than 500 placards with location coordinates and instructions to call 911 for help.
This summer, the Border Patrol expanded search and rescue efforts, dispatching more patrols with medical specialists and surveillance equipment. The agency moved some beacons closer to the border, where more migrants have been found dead or in distress.
Border Patrol says it rescued nearly 1,000 migrants near the U.S. border in New Mexico and western Texas over the past 12 months — up from about 600 the previous 12 months.
Dylan Corbett, executive director of the faith-based Hope Border Institute in El Paso, said 10-member church teams recently started dropping water bottles for migrants in the deadly New Mexico corridor alongside fluttering blue flags.
"Part of the problem is that organized crime has become very systematic in the area," Corbett said of the increased deaths. He also blamed heightened border enforcement in Texas and new U.S. asylum restrictions that President Joe Biden introduced in June and tightened last month.
New Mexico's rising deaths come as human-caused climate change increases the likelihood of heat waves. This year, the El Paso area had its hottest June ever, with an average temperature of 89.4 degrees Fahrenheit (31.8 Celsius). June 12 and 13 saw daily record highs of 109 F (42.7 C).
Those high temperatures can be deadly for people who have been on strenuous journeys. Some smugglers lead migrants on longer routes into gullies or by the towering Mount Cristo Rey statue of Jesus Christ that casts a shadow over neighboring Mexico.
Deputy Chief Border Patrol Agent Juan Bernal of the El Paso Sector said migrants are weak when they arrive at the border after weeks or months without adequate food and water in houses smugglers keep in Mexico.
"They're expected to walk, sometimes for hours or days, to get to their destination where they're going to be picked up," he said.
The deaths have continued even as migration has fallen along the entire border following Biden's major asylum restrictions.
New Mexico's migrant death numbers now rival those in Arizona's even hotter Sonoran desert, where the remains of 114 presumed border crossers were discovered during the first eight months of 2024, according to a mapping project by the nonprofit Humane Borders and the Pima County Medical Examiner's Office in Tucson.
Nearly half of those who died in New Mexico this year were women. Women ages 20 to 29 made up the largest segment of these deaths.
"We are awaiting for you at home," a family in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas implored in early June in a missing person post for a 25-year-old female relative who was found dead days later. "Please come back."
After a 24-year-old Guatemalan woman's remains were discovered that same month, a mortuary in her hometown posted a death notice with a photo of her smiling in a blue dress and holding a floral bouquet.
"It should not be a death sentence to come to the United States," Doña Ana County Sheriff's Maj. Jon Day told a recent community gathering. "And when we push them into the desert areas here, they're coming across and they're dying."

Supreme Court tosses out decision letting 18-year-olds carry guns during emergencies in Pennsylvania
WASHINGTON (AP) — 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.
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.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Artificial intelligence company iLearningEngines, Inc. (NASDAQ: AILE) is facing a securities fraud class action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland. The suit alleges the company and its executives inflated revenue through undisclosed related-party transactions.
Hagens Berman urges iLearningEngines investors who suffered substantial losses to submit your losses now.
Class Period: Apr. 22, 2024 – Aug. 28, 2024

Class Action Lawsuit Against iLearningEngines, Inc. Claims “Fake” Revenue and Misleading Statements
The lawsuit, filed on behalf of investors who purchased iLearningEngines stock between April 22 and August 28, 2024, contends that the company used an undisclosed "Technology Partner" to report fabricated revenue and expenses. The complaint further alleges that iLearningEngines' positive public statements about its business operations and future prospects were materially misleading due to this scheme.
Hindenburg Research Report Triggers Scrutiny
The alleged fraud came to light on August 29, 2024, when short-seller Hindenburg Research published a report titled "iLearningEngines: An Artificial Intelligence SPAC With Artificial Partners and Artificial Revenue." The report claimed that nearly all of the company's revenue and expenses in 2022 and 2023 were channeled through an undisclosed related party, the aforementioned "Technology Partner." Hindenburg alleged this partner was used to report "largely fake" revenue and expenses, including a specific instance of falsely inflated revenue by $138 million.
Hindenburg's investigation reportedly identified the "Technology Partner" as Experion Technologies, whose U.S. contact information matched that of iLearningEngines CEO Harish Chidambaran. This led to allegations that previous representations to the SEC and investors, stating the "Technology Partner" was not affiliated with the company, were demonstrably false.
Following the Hindenburg report, iLearningEngines' stock price reportedly plummeted by over 50%.
Shareholder Rights Firm Launches Investigation
Prominent shareholder rights firm Hagens Berman has launched an investigation into the matter. "We are looking into whether iLearningEngines may have inflated its financial performance through undisclosed related party transactions," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation

SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea said North Korea blew up the northern parts of inter-Korean roads no longer in use on Tuesday, as the rivals are locked in rising animosities over North Korea's claim that South Korea flew drones over its capital, Pyongyang.
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a brief statement that North Korea blew up parts of the roads on Tuesday.
It said South Korea's military is bolstering its readiness and surveillance posture but gave no further details.
The explosions came a day after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un called a meeting with his top military and security officials. During the meeting, Kim described the alleged South Korean drone flights as the "enemy's serious provocation" and laid out unspecified tasks related to "immediate military action" and the operation of his "war deterrent" for defending the country's sovereignty, the North's state media reported earlier Tuesday.
North Korea earlier put frontline artillery and other army units on standby to launch strikes on South Korea, if drones from South Korea are found over North Korea again. South Korea has refused to confirm whether it sent drones but warned it would sternly punish North Korea if the safety of its citizens is threatened.
Destroying the roads would be in line with leader Kim Jong Un's push to cut off ties with South Korea, formally cement it as his country's principal enemy and abandon the North's decades-long objective to seek a peaceful Korean unification.
During the previous era of inter-Korean détente in the 2000s, the two Koreas reconnected two road routes and two rail tracks across their heavily fortified border. But their operations later were suspended one by one as the Koreas wrangled over North Korea's nuclear program and other issues.
Last week, North Korea said it would permanently block its border with South Korea and build front-line defense structures to cope with "confrontational hysteria" by South Korean and U.S. forces. South Korean officials said North Korea had already been adding anti-tank barriers and laying mines along the border since earlier this year. They said North Korea has also planted mines and removed lamps along its sections of the inter-Korean roads and taken out ties on the northern side of the railways.

The Latest: Harris and Trump push to energize key voting blocs their allies worry are slipping away
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.
Follow the AP’s Election 2024 coverage at: https://apnews.com/hub/election-2024.
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.”

WATERFORD, Ireland, Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The mobile-first era in 2024 is redefining the online landscape, forcing all businesses to adapt or be left behind. As smartphones take over, the shift is shaking up every industry including online casinos, with mobile optimization now a must, not a choice. As an iGaming resource portal, Minimum Deposit Casinos (MDC) – a division of the OneTwenty Group – has examined this phenomenon and stayed ahead of the curve. It has invested in an ultramodern, mobile-first SEO approach tailored to the needs of today’s generation of mobile-savvy players globally.
“We have noticed a huge increase in players preferring mobile platforms over desktop, and we believe it’s the case for all online businesses. This trend is only growing stronger, so it’s a pivotal time for most businesses to adapt,” said iGaming SEO Analyst for MDC, Alisia Berrington.
Through this transition, MDC serves as a comprehensive guide for players seeking legitimate online casinos in different regions, ensuring reliable up-to-date information on payment methods, bonuses, and country-specific regulations - all from the palm of a player's hand.
“With this compatibility, players can quickly find what they are looking for, read reviews, and compare offerings in real-time. It’s a next-level on the go experience like never before,” said Berrington.
With search engines now prioritizing mobile-friendly websites, this kind of approach is imperative for online businesses of any kind. To keep pace with competitors, this should be a top priority.
As 2024 draws to a close, online casinos globally are embracing this shift. With more audiences opting to play via smartphones and tablets, those online businesses not getting on board with this new world order will be left behind.
The future of online casinos is clear: mobile-first SEO is not just an option, it's a critical necessity.

This event, in collaboration with the British Embassy Tokyo, continues to shine a spotlight on the remarkable achievements of women in cybersecurity and serves as a powerful platform for promoting diversity, inclusion, and gender equality in this critical field.
Her Excellency Ms Julia Longbottom CMG, British Ambassador to Japan, expressed her pride in supporting this significant initiative, commenting,“We are delighted to host the 2nd Women in Cyber event at the British Embassy in Tokyo. Gender equality is in all our interests. To build a stronger economy, we need to encourage and support the development of human resources and talent, including female talent.

Increasing the participation of women is the key to building a more open, inclusive, and resilient society.”
This year's CSWJ Awards are generously supported by Kyndryl as the Platinum sponsor, BAE Systems as the Red-Carpet Sponsor, and Cyber Security Cloud and Macnica as the Spotlight Sponsors.
Jonathan Ingram, President of Kyndryl Japan KK , shared his thoughts on their involvement, stating,“I am honoured that Kyndryl Japan will participate in the second Cybersecurity Woman of Japan Awards 2024, held at the British Embassy in Tokyo, for the first time as the Platinum sponsor.

Trump emphasizes hypermasculinity as he and Harris pursue male voters
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.”

US retail trade group expects holiday season sales to grow more slowly
NEW YORK (AP) — The largest retail trade group in the United States said Tuesday that it expects consumers to spend more during the upcoming holiday shopping season but the growth in sales to be slower than last year due to concerns over persistent inflation and prices.
The National Retail Federation said its 2024 forecast indicates that shoppers will make $979.5 billion to $989 billion worth of purchases in November and December, which would represent a 2.5%-3.5% increase over the same two-month period a year ago.
However, the $955.6 billion spent during the 2023 holiday shopping season was 3.9% more than in 2022.
This year’s predicted pace is consistent with the average increase of 3.6% from 2010 to 2019. During the coronavirus pandemic, Americans ramped up their spending. Holiday season sales rose 9% in 2020 from the year before, and they soared 12.4% in 2021, according to the National Retail Federation.
The trade group makes its calculations based on government figures. The numbers exclude sales at automobile dealers, gasoline stations and restaurants.
The forecast considers economic indicators such as employment, wages, consumer confidence, disposable income, consumer credit, previous retail sales and weather.
“Interest rates are still a little higher than they were in recent memory,” National Retail Federation CEO and President Matt Shay said during a call with reporters. “Consumers do have those interest rates and the lingering inflation on their minds. So we expect that consumers will continue to be more price-conscious and pragmatic in their spending decisions.”
The retail federation issued its look-ahead as the data shows U.S. consumers continuing to spend, powered by sturdy hiring, low unemployment and healthy household finances. Moreover, gas prices are coming down, leaving a little extra money for shoppers to spend on gifts. The national average price for a gallon of unleaded gasoline was $3.2 on Tuesday; a year ago, it was $3.60, according to auto club AAA.
But there are plenty of challenges this season, including a presidential election that could create a big distraction from shopping in November. NRF officials said it was nearly impossible to measure the election’s impact on current or future spending.
With Thanksgiving falling on Nov. 28, there also will be six fewer days between the holiday and Christmas Day compared to last year. Other factors that could hurt holiday sales: the economic impact of hurricanes Helene and Milton, NRF officials said.
Walmart, the nation’s largest retailer, plans to advertise savings on Thanksgiving meal products starting Oct. 14, about two weeks earlier than last year.
NRF’s forecast was in line with the predictions of other analysts, which also point to a more restrained mood among shoppers.
Management consulting firm Bain & Co. said it anticipated November and December retail sales to rise by 3% as opposed to the 4.2% growth seen last year. AlixPartners, another consulting firm, expects sales for October through December to be up anywhere from 2% to 5%, lower than last year’s 6% increase. Consulting and research firm Customer Growth Partners predicted sales to grow 4% during the holiday period, just slightly below its figure from last year.
Meanwhile, Adobe Analytics predicts online sales will surge 8.9%, marking the highest spending pace since 2021 when it was 8.6%. A year ago, online sales were up 4.9%, compared with the previous year. Vivek Pandya, lead analyst, Adobe Digital Insights, noted that shoppers’ bigger interest in discounts will drive spending. Discounts should average about 30%, the same as a year ago, he said.
While the inflation rate is coming down, it’s still a big pocketbook issue for shoppers as many food items still cost considerably more than they did a few years ago.
James Zahn, editor-in-chief of industry trade publication The Toy Book, thinks shoppers are even more price-conscious than they were last year when it comes to buying toys. Toys under $20 are resonating with parents, he said.
Kohl’s executives said last week that shoppers, particularly those in lower income brackets, will feel more squeezed than a year ago.
Christie Raymond, Kohl’s chief marketing officer, said the cumulative impact of high prices on food and other essentials is eating into people’s savings. As part of its holiday strategy, Kohl’s plans to be aggressive with offering discounts. As for the presidential race, Kohl’s executives said they were not sure if consumers will hold back their buying ahead of the Nov. 5 election but it’s something they are monitoring.

i feel so.. icky? we’ve been together since i was 16 and he was 17. my friend sent me a link to this tiktok of these 2 guys talking about how when one of them cheated on his girlfriend, she cheated on him after finding out instead of “working to fix the relationship.”
the man in the video said it was his biggest heartbreak because while his ons meant nothing to him she slept with one of his ex friends who she had a crush on before they got together. the video said it’s a woman’s duty to be nurturing and forgiving in a relationship and that women have to understand that certain men aren’t monogamous.
my friend sent it to me and said “i cannot believe how out of touch these men are” and after watching the tiktok i decided to read the comments. the first one i see is my bf tagging two mutual friends of ours and saying “women ☕️”. one of our friends responded to the comment and said “they're so dramatic” and my bf responded agreeing to him.
i feel sick. i thought we had the same views on things like this? he was raised by a single teen mom who worked 3 jobs to keep a roof over his head, food in his mouth, and allow him to play soccer despite their tight budget and expensive little league fees.
when we first started dating i asked him who his role model was and he said his mom. he went on and on about how strong and brave she is and how much he appreciates her for all she does for him. his mom was single and living alone at 17 because my bfs father cheated on her after she gave birth and was recovering because he “can’t be expected to just NOT get any for eight weeks.”
i’m just upset? i’m at school right now typing this out in one of the bathroom stalls because i just can’t keep this to myself anymore. i’m disgusted with him. he texted me earlier this morning asking if i want to hang out after school and i said yes. i’m gonna break up with him and tell him why.
eeveechuu11 said:
all i can think of is how stupid the man who made that tiktok is, lmfao. he cheats and then gets upset? bruh
[deleted] said:
All the best, OP. I am glad that you made the right decision, no matter how tough. I know it must hurt and feel bad but know that you dodged a big bullet. I hope you find someone caring and loving who does not believe in cheating.
jinkies422 said:
Tell his mom lmao maybe she’ll set him straight
OP responded:
LMAOO maybe depending how the talk goes 😭 emotions usually hit me after situations have been dealt with so if i’m not busy sobbing my ass off i’ll shoot her a text with some screenshots.
And CanAccomplished8788 said:
im really sorry you’re dealing with this you deserve to feel secure in your relationship and after reading comments like that i wouldn’t feel comfortable staying with him knowing thats how he feels and might end up treating you like that
Edit from OP:
he has commented under almost every post this account has made agreeing with all of their misogynistic views. he thinks that girlfriends/wives are property of the men they’re with.
Edit 2:
i’m not just gonna show up at his house, say “we’re done lmao” and leave. i’m gonna tell him what i saw and if there’s no explanation for it (idk what the hell kind of justification there is for the sh!t he said but we’ll see) THEN i’ll break up with him. i’m giving him the benefit of the doubt as much as i can. idk why some of y’all think i’m just gonna say “we’re over” with no explanation or discussion
YALL. okay so in the short amount of time from my last comment to now sh!t hit the fan. i made my last comment from my car then started driving back home to hopefully try and get my sh!† together before he gets off work in 20 mins. HIS MOTHER CALLED ME. while i was in the car.
literally as i’m driving 2 mins away from my house she calls me to ask me what sides i want her to make for thanksgiving (she’s a literal angel wtf 🥹) and i tried to keep it together as best as i could. i guess she could hear that i was upset bc she said in her mom voice “what’s wrong beautiful”. and i started SOBBING.
like so bad i had to pull over at the entrance of my neighborhood and i told her the bare minimum of what i’d seen (as much as i could through a sh¡† ton of snot and tears lol) and she was just dead SILENT. for like 20 seconds and i swear my heart fell out of my asshole. she said “honey. he’s not at work right now” and 🧍 i damn near died.
GET THIS YALL. her best friend owns a bunch of apartment complexes. like LUXURY. NICE apartments. like the 3.5k a month kind. THIS @$$HOLE IS VIEWING AN APARTMENT TO SURPRISE ME WITH WHEN I GRADUATE? his mom said her friend offered one of the apartments to my bf for DIRT CHEAP.
and he’s planning to get all the papers signed and surprise me with it on valentine’s day since the current tenant (the friends oldest daughter) is moving into a house with her wife and their lease ends on feb 1. his moms coming over to look at the screenshots i have then she’s taking me back to their house to confront him.
she’s literally the sweetest you guys. she said she wanted to be in the house when i talk to him just in case. currently sitting right inside the front door of my house taking the 8 mins in between their house and mine to type this out. i am in SHOCK. i’m just waiting for her to pull up so i’ll update as soon as i can. i don’t think i’m that sad anymore? just pissed off and confused as hell.
The update for all who missed it.. Basically, her boyfriend and his friends knew a girl in a relationship with a guy who was toxic and had these kind of beliefs. They were attempting to get proof to show to the girl by gaining his trust. The guy was suspicious of them so part of that plan included publicly making comments.
Upon confrontation, OP's boyfriend pulled up lots of proof immediately (conversations, discord chats, etc) that this scheme had been going on for a month and a half. (Boyfriend was trying to do something good in a naive, 19 year old way) OP’s boyfriend had given his friends his password and they were making comments on his account as part of this whole scheme.
In the end, she still wanted to take a month or so break to heal from the whole incident with rules like no dating/intimacy with other people, no frequent texting, going to individual counseling and then maybe couples counseling.

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

Dublin, Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Financial Crime and Fraud Management Solutions Market Report 2024" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The financial crime and fraud management solutions market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $17.08 billion in 2023 to $19.35 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.3%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the emergence of advanced technologies, the transition to digital and cashless transactions, increased pressure on financial institutions, a surge in demand for fraud prevention solutions, and the ongoing challenge of achieving efficiency and effectiveness.
The financial crime and fraud management solutions market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $32.22 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.6%. The anticipated growth during the forecast period can be attributed to increasing incidences of fraud and financial crimes, a growing demand for advanced analytics, rising digital transactions and e-commerce, high demand from financial institutions, and the global expansion of financial services. Major trends for this period include the expansion of robotic process automation, a shift towards integrated fraud management platforms, the integration of AI and ML technologies, the adoption of cloud computing, and the incorporation of blockchain technology.
The increasing threat of cybercrime is expected to drive the growth of the financial crime and fraud management solutions market. Cybercrime threats involve malicious activities targeting computer systems, networks, and digital data to cause harm, steal information, or disrupt operations. The rise in cyber threats is attributed to factors such as greater digitalization, more sophisticated attacks, an expanded attack surface, and insufficient cybersecurity awareness. Financial crime and fraud management solutions are essential for addressing these threats in the financial services sector. These solutions help detect, prevent, and mitigate various types of cybercrime, including data breaches, account takeovers, and financial fraud. For example, in November 2022, the Australian Cyber Security Centre, an Australian government agency, reported 76,000 cyberattack incidents in 2022, a 13% increase from the previous year. Consequently, the escalating cybercrime threats are driving the demand for financial crime and fraud management solutions.
Leading companies in the financial crime and fraud management solutions market are focusing on developing advanced technologies such as AI-powered ACH fraud detection systems to improve detection, streamline investigations, and enhance fraud prevention. An AI-powered ACH (Automated Clearing House) fraud detection system is designed to identify and prevent fraudulent activities related to ACH transactions, which are electronic payments and transfers processed through the ACH network. For instance, in June 2024, Oscilar, a US-based fintech company, launched its AI-Powered ACH Fraud Detection solution for fintechs and financial institutions. This new system uses machine learning (ML) algorithms, generative AI, and real-time data analysis with explainability to identify and prevent fraudulent transactions. It addresses various types of fraud, including first-party fraud, account takeovers, stolen account details, scams, business email compromise (BEC), money mules, and ACH check kiting. The system's fraud detection capabilities analyze bank account usage patterns, validate transaction intent, identify emerging attack vectors, and assist risk operations teams in scaling their investigations and reviews.
In May 2024, Permira, a UK-based private equity firm, acquired BioCatch for $1.3 billion. This acquisition aims to enhance global expansion and innovation in fraud detection solutions, utilizing BioCatch's advanced technology to address growing financial sector fraud threats and strengthen market leadership. BioCatch is a UK-based company specializing in behavioral biometric technology and financial crime and fraud management solutions.
Major companies operating in the financial crime and fraud management solutions market are Dell Technologies Inc., International Business Machines Corporation, Oracle Corporation, SAP SE, BAE Systems Applied Intelligence, Capgemini SE, Fiserv Inc., DXC Technology Company, Fidelity National Information Services Inc., LexisNexis Risk Solutions, Thomson Reuters Corporation, Experian Information Solutions Inc., Genpact, SAS Institute Inc., NICE Ltd., ACI Worldwide Inc., Fair Isaac Corporation, Temenos AG, Cloudera Inc., CRISIL Limited, Feedzai Inc., Featurespace Ltd., Securonix Inc., AxiomSL Inc., Guardian Analytics Inc.

LONDON (AP) — Anguilla is raking in extra revenue from registration fees for its .ai web domain thanks to the artificial intelligence boom, but it’s not the only place cashing in on demand for websites with distinctive address endings.
Here’s a look at some other places cashing in on their unique top-level domains:

Tuvalu is a string of coral atolls, scattered over hundreds of miles in the Pacific Ocean, located midway between Australia and Hawaii. It has one of the world’s smallest economies and its low-lying islands are vulnerable to climate change, but it does have a very valuable resource: the .tv web domain. Royalties from .tv, which web users might assume is short for television, have been climbing, especially after videogame streaming platform Twitch licensed the web address twitch.tv.
LIBYA
The North African country, which has been plagued by turmoil since longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi’s death in 2011, isn’t readily associated with internet culture. But Libya controls web addresses that end in .ly, which have become widely used as a so-called domain hack for websites with English names that end in -ly. Well-known examples include bit.ly, used by the weblink shortening service Bitly, and parse.ly, the website for online analytics platform Parse.ly.
MONTENEGRO
This Balkan country became an independent nation after the breakup of Yugoslavia. It’s one of Europe’s smaller countries — about 620,000 people — bordered by the Adriatic Sea, Bosnia, Kosovo, Serbia and Albania. Montenegro was assigned the .me web domain, which has become popular with people who want to claim their pronoun for personal branding.
Websites ending in .me are “often used for personal websites, portfolios, blogs and online resumes or portfolios because ‘me’ can be seen as a way to personalize an online presence,” website builder Wix says.
COLOMBIA
Websites that end in .co aren’t from a generic web domain for companies, like .com sites. The .co domain is assigned to Colombia, but the South American country allows anyone to sign up for its web addresses. Internet registrar GoDaddy says more than 2 million .co web domains have been claimed, including addresses claimed by Big Tech names like Amazon which uses it to redirect online shoppers to its .com home page. Google, meanwhile, informs visitors to g.co that the link is it’s official shortcut.

The market expects Trustmark (TRMK) to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on lower revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended September 2024. This widely-known consensus outlook is important in assessing the company's earnings picture, but a powerful factor that might influence its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.
The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on October 22. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.
While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's discussion of business conditions on theearnings call it's worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise.
Zacks Consensus Estimate
This holding company for Trustmark National Bank is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.83 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +29.7%.
Revenues are expected to be $191.5 million, down 1.4% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions Trend
The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.84% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.
Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.
Earnings Whisper
Estimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.
A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.
Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).
How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Trustmark?
For Trustmark, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +0.60%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.
So, this combination indicates that Trustmark will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?
While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Trustmark would post earnings of $0.61 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.66, delivering a surprise of +8.20%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates three times.
Bottom Line
An earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.
That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
Trustmark appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.
Expected Results of an Industry Player
Another stock from the Zacks Banks - Southeast industry, Cadence (CADE), is soon expected to post earnings of $0.63 per share for the quarter ended September 2024. This estimate indicates a year-over-year change of +12.5%. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $449.9 million, up 0.4% from the year-ago quarter.
Over the last 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for Cadence has been revised 2.7% up to the current level. Nevertheless, the company now has an Earnings ESP of -3.18%, reflecting a lower Most Accurate Estimate.
When combined with a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold), this Earnings ESP makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Cadence will beat the consensus EPS estimate. Over the last four quarters, the company surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.

Thanks to the generous financial support of Donate Eight and the LiveOnNY Foundation, the cutting-edge Simulation Center will elevate training and education for both Clinical Operations staff and the public, focusing on the lifesaving process of organ donation. The center includes a fully equipped mock operating room and ICU, designed to train employees in donor case management within a controlled, immersive environment.

By simulating critical scenarios-such as navigating organ donor operating rooms and critical care donor management settings, engaging with family members, and seeking authorization for organ donation-the center complements the hands-on learning experience of shadowing senior staff during real donor hospital cases. Staff will have the opportunity to develop crucial conversation skills and experience the complexities of approaching families in crisis to discuss the lifesaving gift of organ donation.

"As members of the buildings industry, we wanted to give back to our city. We are honored to partner with LiveOnNY on this lifesaving mission and deeply grateful to the LiveOnNY Foundation team for their dedication. We also thank LiveOnNY President and CEO Leonard Achan for his exceptional leadership, which has resulted in saving more than 3,000 lives over the past three years."
The Donate Eight Simulation Center is also designed as an educational tool for high school students, nursing and medical students, elected officials, and members of the public. By offering insight into the intricacies of organ donation, the center aims to raise awareness and understanding of the importance of organ and tissue donation, and the extraordinary effort involved in saving and changing lives through these gifts.
"This center embodies what we at Donate Eight wanted to do from the start – provide education and raise awareness about the critical need for organ donation in New York," said Bill Dacunto, Executive Vice President of Silverstein Properties, Chairperson of LiveOnNY Foundation and member of Donate Eight. "The Board of Donate Eight is proud to be part of the Simulation Center, it is such an achievement."

Meta’s Oversight Board says viral video left on Facebook threatened LGBTQ+ people in Nigeria
ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — Meta’s oversight board expressed serious concern Tuesday over the company’s failure to take down a viral graphic video showing two men bleeding after they were apparently beaten up for being allegedly gay.
The video was posted in Nigeria, one of more than 30 of Africa’s 54 countries where homosexuality is criminalized by laws that garner broad public support despite constitutional guarantees of freedoms. Such laws are often used to target and illegally arrest people suspected of being gay, with abuses against them often ignored.
The report said the damage done by the video, which was viewed more than 3.6 million times between December 2023 and February this year, was “immediate and impossible to undo.”
The board said the content “shared and mocked violence and discrimination” and though reported multiple times and reviewed by three human moderators, it stayed on Facebook for about five months despite breaking four different rules.
“With the video left up, the odds of someone identifying the men and of the post encouraging users to harm other LGBTQIA+ people in Nigeria increased,” the panel said. “Even after it was removed, the Board’s research shows there were still sequences of the same video remaining on Facebook.”
In the video, two men were seen bleeding as a crowd of people interrogated them about their identity and sexual orientation.
Meta couldn’t be reached for immediate comment.
The company admitted two errors regarding the said video, the panel said, in that its automated systems identified the language spoken in the video as English while it was the Igbo language spoken in southeastern Nigeria “but not supported by Meta for content moderation at-scale,” and that Meta’s human review teams also misidentified the language as Swahili.
“This raises concerns about how content in unsupported languages is treated, the choice of languages the company supports for at-scale review and the accuracy of translations provided to reviewers working across multiple languages,” the panel said.
In its report, the board recommended Meta update its Coordinating Harm and Promoting Crime Community Standard to include clear examples of “outing-risk groups,” conduct an assessment of enforcement accuracy of the prohibition on exposing the identity or locations of those alleged to be a member of such groups, ensure language detection systems identify content in unsupported languages and provide accurate translations while routing content for review.

RBTL season kicks off Tuesday with ‘Les Misérables’
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The Rochester Broadway Theatre League season kicks off on Tuesday with the first performance of the Tony Award-winning musical “Les Misérables”.
The start of the new season brings new features to the West Herr Auditorium Theatre including more parking, improved safety to and from the theatre, and new second-floor amenities. RBTL is working on a multi-stage renovation project for the historic building by 2030, the building’s 100th anniversary.
“Les Misérables”, set in the revolutionary period of France, runs through Sunday, Oct. 20. You can get tickets and see show times here or at the Auditorium Box Office. The musical based on the Victor Hugo novel includes iconic musical numbers such as “I Dreamed a Dream” and “On My Own”.
News10NBC spoke with Mya Rena Hunter, who plays Eponine in “Les Misérables”, about what makes this a timeless story.
“As we see the boys storm the barricade, they’re fighting for what they want, for what they want to see in the world, and how they want to be represented,” Hunter said. “So, I think that’s very important and I think, especially as our current political climate, as we’re involved as young advocates and just members of this country, I think it’s really interesting to see those parallels.”
Here are the other RBTL shows happening this season. You can get tickets and see show times here.
- Mama Mia!: Nov. 19 through 24
- MJ: Dec. 17 through 22
- The Wiz: Feb. 22 through 28

The news came quickly Tuesday morning as Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams was reportedly traded to the New York Jets, causing the trade market at the wide receiver position to shift swiftly.
While the Pittsburgh Steelers missed out on an Adams trade, which wasn’t a surprise at all, the need remains at wide receiver for the Black and Gold as Pittsburgh is having real issues with players behind George Pickens stepping up and being consistent producers.
Though Adams was the big fish, there are still plenty of talented receivers who could be available via trade ahead of the Nov. 5 trade deadline. One of those players is Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen, a player CBS Sports’ Cody Benjamin believes is one the Steelers should make a move for.
“The Steelers have been sniffing around blockbuster wideouts this year, from Adams to Brandon Aiyuk, but there are an abundance of lower-tier alternatives who could be available. Thielen is one, coming off an injury at 34 for the Panthers’ stuck-in-mud rebuild,” Benjamin writes for CBSSports.com. “He’s got a much lower ceiling than a playmaker like Adams, but when healthy, he’s remained one of the NFL’s most sure-handed possession targets, making him a logical partner for the more explosive George Pickens in Pittsburgh’s otherwise old-school attack.”
Thielen certainly isn’t a needle mover, especially at 34 years old and coming off of a hamstring injury that has caused him to miss the last three games while on Injured Reserve.
Prior to the injury, Thielen struggled to get going in the Panthers’ offense, which made a QB change from Bryce Young to Andy Dalton quickly. On the year, Thielen has eight receptions for 109 yards and a touchdown in three games.
In those three games, Thielen graded out at a 63.7 overall from Pro Football Focus, while aligning in the slot 73% of the time for the Panthers. He has one drop on the season but is two-for-two in contested-catch situations.
Last season, his first with the Panthers, Thielen hauled in 103 receptions for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns, grading out at a 72.7 overall from PFF. In his career, Thielen has 645 receptions for 7,805 yards and 71 touchdowns and was quite the story for much of his career with the Minnesota Vikings, going from a rookie minicamp tryout player to a star receiver in his home state.
Thielen signed a three-year, $25 million deal with the Panthers as a free agent ahead of the 2023 season and has one year remaining on his deal after the 2024 season.
The Panthers sit at 1-5 on the year. As the rebuild continues in Carolina, Thielen could be moved, and profiles as a cheap, dependable pass catcher, one who could produce in a new setting. That would be an intriguing add for the Steelers, especially if he’s cheap from a trade-capital standpoint.

Only Murders in the Building season 4 episode 9: Last before finale
At this point, there is so much to be excited about as we prepare to see Only Murders in the Building season 4 episode 9. Where do we start? That’s rather simple: With the fact that there are only two episodes left this season! We know that there is a season 5 to come, so you don’t have to worry about that! However, in the interim, there are still plenty of things to concern yourself over.
After all, remember that episode 8 closed with possibility that Glen Stubbins may have killed Sazz Pataki, as the possibility was raised that he was a protegee on a film that they worked together on in the past. Why would he do this, though? That remains to be seen, but someone was apparently harassing Sazz to the point where she worried they’d (metaphorically) “be the death” of her. Or, at least we think it is metaphorical.
SUBSCRIBE to Matt & Jess on YouTube for more Only Murders in the Building discussion — there are multiple videos a week all season!
If you have not heard already, “Escape from Planet Klongo” is the title for Only Murders in the Building season 4 episode 9. To get a better sense of what’s ahead, take a look at the synopsis below:
Seeking a critical clue, Charles, Oliver & Mabel must infiltrate a film set to get the real “background” on why Sazz was killed.
This certainly suggests that this is a different set from the movie being filmed based on the podcast, since we think there wouldn’t be a reason to just say “a film set” otherwise. If Glen is the protegee, is it possible that this has some people working there who have ties to him? It’s possible, but the other question is why the trio simply isn’t going back to that stuntman bar. Then again, maybe they think that those people won’t be willing to talk.
What do you most want to see moving into Only Murders in the Building season 4 episode 9?
Be sure to share right now in the attached comments! Once you do just that, keep coming back for some other updates.

Whether driven by power, conquest, or fear, these leaders left indelible marks on the world, often at the expense of countless lives. Here’s a look at ten of the most notorious chiefs in world history, whose actions earned them a place among the cruelest rulers.
Throughout history, several rulers have been remembered for their brutal and merciless reigns.
Recommended articles
1. King Leopold II of Belgium (1835–1909)
Leopold II is remembered for one of the darkest periods in colonial history. His personal rule over the Congo Free State led to the exploitation of millions of Africans in pursuit of rubber and ivory. The brutal regime he established caused millions of deaths due to forced labour, starvation, disease, and violent punishment. Under Leopold’s rule, entire villages were destroyed, and the use of mutilation as a punishment became infamous, with the cutting off of hands symbolising the horrors endured.
2. Genghis Khan (1162–1227)
Known as one of history’s greatest conquerors, Genghis Khan was also one of its most fearsome. His campaigns stretched across Asia and into Europe, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Genghis Khan’s armies were notorious for wiping out entire cities, and he is believed to have caused the deaths of millions. His ruthless military strategies and mass slaughter, such as in Nishapur, where nearly the entire population was killed, cemented his legacy as a figure of terror.
3. Ivan the Terrible (1530–1584)
Ivan IV, the first Tsar of Russia, lived up to his moniker “The Terrible” through his violent and erratic rule. Known for his paranoia and cruelty, Ivan created a secret police force, the Oprichnina, which carried out mass executions and enforced his authoritarian rule. His most infamous act was the Massacre of Novgorod, where thousands of citizens were tortured and killed, accused of treason. Ivan's unpredictable violence extended to his own family, as he killed his own son during a fit of rage.
4. Attila the Hun (406–453)
Attila, leader of the Huns, was one of the most feared figures of the ancient world. His reign of terror across Europe earned him the nickname "The Scourge of God." His brutal invasions of the Roman Empire involved widespread slaughter, pillaging, and destruction. Attila’s campaigns were marked by the sacking of cities and leaving devastation in his wake, making him one of history's most infamous conquerors.
5. Emperor Nero (37–68 AD)
Nero's reign as Roman Emperor is synonymous with decadence and cruelty. His erratic behaviour and harsh policies towards Christians earned him a dark legacy. Among his many cruel acts, Nero is most infamously associated with the Great Fire of Rome. While historical accounts differ, many believe Nero either caused or did nothing to stop the fire, which destroyed much of the city, allegedly playing music as Rome burned. His persecution of Christians, whom he blamed for the fire, led to brutal executions.
6. Shaka Zulu (1787–1828)
A brilliant military strategist, Shaka Zulu turned the Zulu Kingdom into a dominant force in Southern Africa. However, his reign was marked by extreme brutality, particularly towards neighbouring tribes. Shaka’s military innovations were accompanied by the destruction of rival tribes and large-scale massacres, which expanded his empire. His reign of terror earned him a reputation for being as ruthless as he was tactically brilliant.
7. Tamerlane (1336–1405)
Tamerlane (Timur) is known for his brutal conquests across Asia and the Middle East. His military campaigns, which aimed to restore the Mongol Empire, were characterised by the mass execution of populations and the destruction of cities. He was known for constructing towers out of the skulls of his enemies, most notably after the sack of Delhi. Tamerlane's legacy is one of a brilliant but merciless conqueror who left death and devastation wherever he went.
8. Pol Pot (1925–1998)
As the leader of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, Pol Pot presided over one of the most brutal genocides of the 20th century. His regime aimed to transform Cambodia into a classless, agrarian society, but this vision resulted in the deaths of approximately 1.7 to 2 million people due to starvation, forced labour, and execution. Pol Pot’s reign of terror, which sought to erase any intellectual or cultural history, destroyed an entire generation.
9. Queen Ranavalona I of Madagascar (1778–1861)
Ranavalona I, often called the "Mad Queen," ruled Madagascar with an iron fist. Her isolationist policies and mistrust of foreigners led to the deaths of thousands through execution, forced labour, and widespread famine. During her reign, about half of Madagascar’s population perished, earning her a place among the most brutal leaders in African history.
10. Francisco Pizarro (1476–1541)
The Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro is infamous for his ruthless conquest of the Inca Empire in South America. Driven by a desire for wealth, Pizarro captured and executed the Incan emperor Atahualpa, despite receiving a ransom of gold and silver. His conquest led to the collapse of the Incan civilisation and the death of thousands of indigenous people.
These ten leaders are remembered not only for their ambition but for the extreme cruelty they exhibited during their reigns. Their acts of violence, whether through conquest, persecution, or exploitation, have left scars that continue to echo through history, reminding us of the potential for power to corrupt and devastate on a massive scale.

PALOS VERDES ESTATES, Calif., Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Malaga Financial Corporation “Company” (OTCPink:MLGF), the parent company of Malaga Bank FSB, today reported that net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $17,339,000 ($1.93 basic and fully diluted earnings per share) compared to $17,198,000 ($1.92 basic and fully diluted earnings per share, as adjusted for the stock dividend declared on November 9, 2023) for the same period ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $141,000 or 1%. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, was $5,548,000 ($0.62 basic and fully diluted earnings per share), a decrease of $181,000 or 3% from net income of $5,729,000 ($0.64 basic and fully diluted earnings per share, as adjusted for the stock dividend declared on November 9, 2023) for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. For the first nine months of 2024, the Company’s annualized return on average equity was 11.39% and the annualized return on average assets was 1.61%.
Net interest income totaled $11,044,000 in the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of $381,000 or 3% from the same period in 2023. This resulted primarily from a decrease in average interest-earning assets of $142.3 million offset by an increase in the interest rate spread from 2.82% to 2.95%. The increase in the interest rate spread is primarily attributable to an increase of 0.34% in yield on average interest-earning assets offset by an increase of 0.21% in yield on average interest-bearing liabilities.
Other operating income increased $1,000 in the third quarter of 2024 to $217,000 from $216,000 for the same period in 2023.
Operating expenses decreased 3% in the third quarter of 2024 to $3,427,000 from $3,535,000 in the third quarter of 2023. The decrease is primarily attributed to decreases in compensation of $66,000, and general and administrative expenses of $49,000.
The Company had two delinquent consumer loans collateralized by certificates of deposit which were fully paid off in early October 2024. The Company had no foreclosed real estate owned at September 30, 2024. The Company’s allowance for loan losses was $3,719,000, or 0.30% of total loans, at September 30, 2024.
Randy C. Bowers, Chairman, President and CEO, commented, “As we strive to adapt to an uncertain and rapidly changing operating environment, we are pleased to report earnings for the first nine months of 2024 remain strong and stable with a modest increase over the prior year. While earnings continue to improve, asset quality remains excellent, capital levels are strong, and expenses are well controlled. We anticipate the remainder of 2024 and 2025 will be challenging, however are reasonably optimistic regarding our ability to continue to achieve favorable results.”
The Company’s total assets decreased by 10% to $1.404 billion at September 30, 2024, compared to $1.554 billion at September 30, 2023. The loan portfolio at September 30, 2024, was $1.232 billion, a decrease of $50.2 million or 4% from September 30, 2023. The Company originates loans principally for its own portfolio and not for sale.
The Company funds its assets with a mix of retail deposits, wholesale deposits and FHLB borrowings. Retail deposits totaled $731.3 million as of September 30, 2024, a $107.9 million decrease from $839.2 million at September 30, 2023. Wholesale deposits increased $14.8 million or 9% from $159.6 million at September 30, 2023, to $174.4 million at September 30, 2024. Wholesale deposits are primarily comprised of State of California certificates of deposit in the amount of $51.0 million and $123.4 million of long-term brokered certificates of deposits. FHLB borrowings decreased $70.0 million or 21% from $330.0 million at September 30, 2023, to $260.0 million at September 30, 2024. The decrease in FHLB borrowings is an interest rate risk management strategy related to the decrease in net loan growth.
As of September 30, 2024, Malaga Bank was in compliance with all applicable regulatory capital requirements and was deemed “well-capitalized” under applicable regulations. Core capital and risk-based capital ratios were 15.59% and 27.11%, respectively, significantly exceeding the minimum “well-capitalized” requirements of 5% and 10%, respectively.

(MENAFN- PR Newswire)
Positive Reinforcement is defined as the rewarding of desired behaviors with something pleasant
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
The use of positive reinforcement has come a long way since B.F. Skinner tested his theories in the 1930s and 40s. While the ideas and techniques are much the same, teachers are using the techniques to make differences today in the academic and personal lives of their students.

Flagship Charter Academy Fourth-grade Teacher Lisa Jackson-Clayborn poses for a photo with a student.
Sierra Anthony has spent the past five years teaching first grade at Knapp Charter Academy in Grand Rapids, Mich. Her use of positive reinforcement guides most of her actions and reactions in class with one goal: for students to be the best possible versions of themselves.
"One of my mantras for this year is to 'feed the positive and starve the negative,'" she said. "It could be words of affirmation, or it could be the promise of working on a special project with me. Kids are just so motivated by knowing that they're working towards something."
Anthony said she uses about eight positive motivators throughout the school day to keep students focused on doing well for themselves and the class. She keeps track of these moments by adding gumballs to a gumball machine. When it's full, the class can spin a wheel to select the prize – oftentimes a whole class party. She also hands out blue tickets to students making exceptionally good choices, then uses a clipboard to "clip them up."
Knapp Charter Academy First-grade Teacher Sierra Anthony:
"One of my mantras for this year is to 'feed the positive and starve the negative.'"
"We're about 30 days in, and I've had zero kids clip down because I only use it as positive reinforcement, so they get to move up."
She does this by keeping an eye on kids who are having an especially tough day and praises them when they make even the smallest, good choice. According to Anthony, clipping them up can be the turning point they need in their day to set them back on the right track.
"I do tell the class I will move their clip down at some point if they make an unwise choice. They'll need to take ownership of that. If you throw a pencil across the room, then you made your choice."
Anthony also hands out four bigger awards at the end of each day: Moral Focus leader, Hallway Leader, Behavior Leader, and Listening Leader.
"These are usually for the kids that are quiet leaders, ones that don't get recognized as much. I'm very intentional with my quiet leaders, I want to make sure they're seen, they're affirmed, and they're heard."
Across the state in Detroit, another teacher has found a unique way to provide a reset for students struggling with behaviors: "lunch detention". Flagship Charter Academy Fourth-grade Teacher Lisa Jackson-Clayborn is in her 30th year of teaching and realized if she shares some of her individual time with students, they start the second half of their day with a new perspective.
"Students have found that lunch detention is not really lunch detention," Clayborn said. "It's more of a time to talk with me. They get to find out what I like, and we get to listen to jazz music and just reset our day. It's because I don't want them to look at it in the negative, it's just a reset. Maybe your morning started off rough, but you know what? We can do something else for the afternoon."

That short window oftentimes reaps quick benefits. Students go out of their way to say hello to her in the halls and ask how she's doing. The positive moments spent with her improves their general temperament.
"We don't always have to make things so difficult or so hard for students. It's really about them getting to know you and seeing that you have their best interests at heart."
She also performs occasional check-ins with her former students as they move on to the next grade.
"I expect them to do great things in the classroom, and I do check on them. I talk to their teachers and sometimes I'll say to them 'hey, you remember we're doing great things in the classroom this year,' and they smile, and they laugh, and nod their heads."
Recently, a student from last year's class approached her in the hallway, all excited to tell her he decided to become a leader this year, a stark contrast to the previous year.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have one of the most talented but mercurial wide receivers in the league with third-year rising star George Pickens. There was a lot of pressure on him entering the season after the Steelers traded Diontae Johnson in the offseason. His stats haven’t lived up to the elevated expectations yet, but that isn’t stopping him from dubbing himself a top five wide receiver in the NFL.
Pickens appeared on FS1’s The Facility this morning, and he was asked where he views himself in the NFL WR pecking order.
“I definitely feel like, you know, me averaging 18.1 [yards per reception] last season, most definitely in, what is it, Year 3? Yeah, not five, six, seven, eight, or nine. So I definitely feel like I’m top five, top three just off of, I just got here,” Pickens said. “I definitely think I’m top five, if not better. Some guys, certain situations are better for certain receivers. That’s really the most I can say.”
Certainly off numbers alone, Pickens wouldn’t qualify for that top-five conversation, let alone top three. But just watching him play, when he is at his best, you can see all the potential to achieve those lofty titles.
Despite the passing game essentially running solely through Pickens in Pittsburgh this season, his stats are on pace for a slight regression from 2023. He is on pace for 73.7 receptions, 1,028 receiving yards and zero touchdowns. That is just based on his current numbers, so the pace can and obviously will change, but it has been a slower start than expected.
When asked what needs to happen for Pickens to prove to the world that he is top five, he pointed to schematics.
“I probably say schematically is the big thing in football,” Pickens said. “That’s how you get Amon-Ra St. Brown, slot merchants, that’s schematically getting fed the ball. When it comes to that, I ain’t playing QB, o-line, and defense all at once. So schematically, that’s probably the biggest thing in that way for me to really show the world a bigger platform over my game style.”
After playing two seasons in Matt Canada’s offensive system, Pickens is now playing under OC Arthur Smith. He is best known for running the ball and featuring tight ends. Against the Dallas Cowboys, for example, Pickens played the lowest snap-count total of his career, which was described by Smith as an attempt to maximize certain personnel groupings. He was in for all of the 11 personnel snaps with three receivers on the field, but he wasn’t in as much during the 12- and 13-personnel packages.
That changed in Week 6 against the Las Vegas Raiders, with Pickens playing the most snaps of the receiver group. He hasn’t had the most productive last couple weeks, but he was flashing great stuff over the first four games of the season, even if some of it was negated by penalties.
In total, Pickens has played 211 snaps out wide this season compared to 76 in the slot. That is 26.4 percent of his snaps in the slot compared to 16.8 percent last season. The Steelers are moving him around a bit more and giving him different ways to succeed. I think the success is coming as the offense continues to jell with the new quarterbacks, the new offensive coordinator, and the young offensive line.

Only Murders in the Building season 4 episode 8: Did Glen kill Sazz?
Following the events of Only Murders in the Building season 4 episode 8, it seems as though we have a prime suspect in Sazz’s death. Of course, we also know that this show loves nothing more than to trick us, and they may be doing that all over again here!
So, did Glen Stubbins actually kill Sazz Pataki? There may be a few pieces of evidence for it, but at the same time, there are also reasons to doubt it.
SUBSCRIBE to Matt & Jess on YouTube for more Only Murders in the Building discussion — there are multiple videos a week all season!
First and foremost, let’s just talk how the Hulu series is structured. When do they reveal the killer at the end of episode 8? Let’s just say that for the most part, it’s pretty darn unlikely they would give us an answer with two more episodes to go! Also, the show is inferring that Paul Rudd’s character (who is currently in the hospital) is Sazz’s protegee based on an IMDb listing for a previous project as well as the fact that they are both stuntpeople. This may not actually prove to be the case still.
One other thing to remember after this episode comes down to this: Someone was clearly making Sazz’s life miserable, as we’ve heard about that for some time. However, this may not mean that they wanted her dead! It also remains to be seen if this is the same person who was causing “chatter” on the Ham Radio about Charles, which is something we heard about at the end of episode 3.
Given that there are just a couple of episodes still to come this season, we are sure that some answers are coming and coming soon. Our hope just remains that John Hoffman and the producers manage to give us some surprises. We tend to think the best reveals are the ones no one sees coming … as long as they still make sense.
What did you think about the events of Only Murders in the Building season 4 episode 8?
Be sure to share right now in the attached comments! After you do just that, remember to keep coming back here for some other updates.

This announcement was made during today's meeting of the Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC).
In a key development ahead of the upcoming elections, Mrs Jean Mensa, Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), has announced that the Final Voters' Register will be available in the first week of November.
Recommended articles
The release of the Voters' Register is a crucial step in ensuring transparency and preparedness as the nation prepares for its next major election. The early availability of the register will allow political parties, civil society organisations, and other stakeholders to review and address any potential discrepancies.
Mrs Mensa reassured attendees at the IPAC meeting that the Electoral Commission is committed to maintaining a free, fair, and credible electoral process. She also encouraged all political parties to collaborate with the EC to ensure that the final register is an accurate reflection of the electorate.
This announcement follows a series of reforms and updates aimed at improving the electoral process, with the EC expected to address any concerns raised during the voter registration process before the final list is published.
As the November release date approaches, the focus will now shift to the readiness of electoral stakeholders to ensure smooth preparations for the upcoming elections.

Pregnant Princess Beatrice attends Ladies Lunch with mother Sarah Ferguson on her 65th birthday
- The royal mother and daughter attended a charity lunch in London's Mayfair
- READ MORE: Princess Beatrice is pregnant! Royal is expecting her second child with husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi
Pregnant Princess Beatrice and her mother, the Duchess of York, donned brightly-coloured ensembles to attend a Ladies Lunch held to raise money for a cancer charity today - which is also Sarah Ferguson's 65th birthday.
The royal mother and daughter were joined by celebrities including Elizabeth Hurley and Dame Joan Collins - who both also sported striking outfits - at the tenth annual Lady Garden Foundation Langan's Ladies Lunch in London.
Sarah, who is better known as Fergie, was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2023. Just months later, in January 2024, the mother-of-two was told she had malignant melanoma, an aggressive form of skin cancer.
While she has been advised against using the phrase 'cancer free', Sarah, writing in The Sun last week, said that her 'treatment has been successful and tests show there has been no spread or recurrence.'
For the event hosted by national women's health charity the Lady Garden Foundation, whose motto is 'We are loud and we are bold', Sarah wore a £945 multicoloured blouse with a pussybow feature by Italian brand Pucci.

She paired the distinctive blouse with a black, knee-length skirt and added a Gucci belt with a gold clasp.
Sarah completed the look with sheer black tights and patent high heels.
The playful duchess styled her long, auburn hair with a wide headband in the same psychedelic Pucci print and sported a pair of white, 1960s-style sunglasses.
Her daughter Princess Beatrice, 36, who announced that she was pregnant with her second child on October 1, opted for an equally striking dark pink mini dress.
Cinched at the waist and with a flared skirt, the princess's dress also featured button detailing down the left side.
She paired it with black opaque tights and black suede ankle boots.
Only a little less bold than her mother, Beatrice styled her long hair with a velvet headband in colour of the season burgundy.
While mother and daughter posed for photographs together, Sarah was also pictured with Elizabeth Hurley and Dame Joan Collins, as well as other attendees.

The Ladies Lunch at Mayfair celebrity haunt Langan's Brasserie was also attended by socialite and TV personality Tamara Beckwith and businesswoman Jenny Halpern Prince, who both looked attractive in brightly-coloured silk dresses with geometric prints.
Meanwhile, actress Elizabeth Hurley, 59, looked typically glamourous in a red and purple floral midi dress.
With a lowcut neckline highlighting the star's jaw-dropping figure, the dress also had short sleeves and an a-symmetric hemline.
Elizabeth added height to her frame with a pair of gold open toe heels and carried a rose gold clutch bag.
Letting her brunette locks fall loose down her shoulders, she completed her look with a pair of hoop earrings.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth Hurley looked sensational.
The actress, 59, ensured all eyes were on her as she arrived to the event in a red and purple midi dress with a floral print.
The garment featured a deep v-neckline that highlighted the star's jaw-dropping figure along with short sleeves and an a-symmetric hemline.
Elizabeth added height to her frame with a pair of gold open toe heels while she also carried a rose gold clutch bag.
Letting her brunette locks fall loose down her shoulders, the Bedazzled star completed her look with a pair of hoop earrings.

Joan Collins looked radiant as ever for the event as she sported a baby pink blazer with flared sleeves which she wore with black trousers.
Also in attendance at the event was Sarah Ferguson who cut a stylish figure in a multi-coloured blouse and a black pencil skirt.
The Lady Garden Foundation was launched in 2014 as the Gynaecological Cancer Fund to raise funds and awareness for various types of gynaecological cancers, hosted by charity chair and co-founder Jenny Halpern Prince.
It's been a busty few days for Elizabeth as she also put on a very busty display for her cover shoot with Maxim magazine.
The actress went braless underneath an oversized see-through blue shirt which she paired with a chunky gold necklace.
Sharing a behind the scene clip from the shoot, Elizabeth looked positively radiant as she laughed in snaps.
She captioned the snap: 'Thank you @maximmag for making me your No 1 a delightful day in St Tropez this summer with my old friend @gilles_bensimon - 30 years since our first shoot'.
Liz and Joan are good friends and were seen last month holidaying together in the South of France alongside Liz's son Damian, 22.
Meanwhile Liz also recently appeared on Loose Women for an emotional episode as she revealed that two friends of her friends are currently battling breast cancer as she discussed the topic close to her heart amid Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The model also detailed how she was inspired to join the breast cancer awareness fight 30 years ago after her grandmother died of the disease.
Discussing how attitudes towards it have changed from when her grandmother was ill, she said: 'When my grandmother was suffering and dying, nobody spoke. But I remember it really clearly.'
'As women we sometimes put ourselves last and it seems indulgent to take care of ourselves.'
She previously spoke to Extra about her grandmother's ordeal, remarking: 'When my grandmother had been diagnosed and was being treated — and of course ultimately died, we too didn't talk about it. There was no conversation about breast cancer at that time.'
'I just know that had she been diagnosed today, everything would just be so different. Now, women are told about the importance of early detection.'

Apple TV+ is running full speed ahead on Slow Horses: The Emmy-winning spy drama has been renewed for a sixth season.
The show that stars Gary Oldman as the leader of a group of dysfunctional British spies — unaffectionately known as the Slow Horses — just had its fourth season premiere on Sept. 4. It was renewed for a fifth season earlier this year.
"Audiences around the world have fallen in love with the Slow Horses, and I'm delighted that Gary Oldman will be leading this star-studded cast on another acerbic and action-packed adventure," said Apple TV+'s Jay Hunt.
Season six is adapted from Joe Country and Slough House, respectively the sixth and seventh novels in Mick Herron's "Slough House" book series.
All four seasons of Slow Horses hold a perfect 100% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes, the streamer points out.
The six-episode sixth season will see "the Slow Horses on the run as Diana Taverner embroils them all in a fatally high-stakes game of retaliation and revenge," Apple teases.

Stellar joins the Mastercard Crypto Credential ecosystem to unlock verified interactions across public blockchain networks
Today, the user experience of cryptocurrency transfers is still complex, which can create a barrier to adoption. With Mastercard Crypto Credential, crypto remittances can be simply initiated using the recipient's email address. Behind the
scenes, Mastercard Crypto Credential ensures the destination is valid, that it can accept the selected digital asset, and complies with regulatory requirements.
Mastercard Crypto Credential confirms interactions among consumers and businesses, providing some peace-of-mind that a user has met a set of verification standards. The solution also brings more trust and certainty to the process through the exchange of metadata and supports transferring the information needed for cross-border transactions.
Stellar and Mastercard work will initially focus on enabling credentialing for remittances and peer-to-peer transfers – pairing the user-friendly experience of Mastercard Crypto Credential with the Stellar network's fast settlement times and low fee structure. As an extension of the partnership, Mastercard and Stellar will explore how Mastercard's wide range of services can be leveraged on the Stellar network, opening doors for additional new and innovative applications of blockchain technology.
This collaboration marks a significant step forward in making cryptocurrency transactions more user-friendly and secure. The Stellar network has a large network of on-and-off-ramps that enable cash-to-crypto transactions around the globe and an ecosystem of trusted financial institutions with a variety of regulated, tokenized real-world assets.
This integration demonstrates the power of partnership to develop the future of blockchain technology. By simplifying transactions and enhancing security, the integration of Mastercard Crypto Credential into the Stellar network is helping to make blockchain technology more accessible and appealing to a broader audience, with the goal of fostering wider adoption and mainstream use.

"The Stellar network was designed to be fast, affordable and to demonstrate blockchain technology's ability to solve real problems for people," said Denelle Dixon, CEO of the Stellar Development Foundation. "Collaborating with Mastercard to integrate Mastercard Crypto Credential into the Stellar ecosystem will make transferring funds safer and faster, enabling a wide range of use cases and further driving adoption of blockchain technology."
"We designed Mastercard Crypto Credential to bring more trust and innovation to the digital assets ecosystem," said Raj Dhamodharan, executive vice president, Blockchain & Digital Assets at Mastercard. "Bringing our technology, standards and infrastructure together with Stellar's commitment to powering commerce using blockchain technology, we are paving the way for safer, simpler, and more secure digital assets."
"As the largest exchange in the Philippines, Coins is at the forefront of driving innovation in the financial landscape, making Mastercard's Crypto Credential on Stellar a perfect fit for us. In 2023, remittances to the Philippines reached $37.2 billion, highlighting the vast potential to bring millions on-chain-many of whom will experience the benefits of crypto for the first time, starting with fast and low-cost cross-border transactions made possible through our collaboration," said Coins CEO Wei Zhou.
"Joining forces with Mastercard and Stellar through Crypto Credential enables us to offer our customers more secure, compliant, and seamless crypto transactions," said Fabrício Tota, senior vice president, New Business Development at Mercado Bitcoin. "This collaboration strengthens our ability to innovate and connect traditional finance with blockchain solutions in Brazil and beyond."

By integrating with such a robust network, we're able to deliver on our promise of making crypto more accessible and usable for everyday financial needs.

Mike Tomlin hasn’t made it official, but all signs are pointing toward Russell Wilson retaking the Steelers’ QB1 job this week even though Justin Fields has played admirably. Wilson won the initial quarterback battle, and it seems like what he showed is enough to give Tomlin confidence in him as the starter. However, nothing is official yet, and Tomlin even said that both quarterbacks could play in Week 7.
“Certainly,” Tomlin said Tuesday during his press conference via the team’s YouTube channel. “There could’ve been a scenario where that occurred last week.”
That would certainly be a huge decision from Tomlin, although he could just mean that they’ll have packages for Fields if he doesn’t start Sunday night against the visiting New York Jets. That seemed like the Steelers’ original plan before Wilson got hurt. They could employ that strategy again, but perhaps with a bigger role for Fields because of what he’s shown through the first six games of the season.
If Tomlin is suggesting that the Steelers are going to use a two-quarterback system, though, that changes things completely. There are very few examples of that strategy being successful in the NFL. The Baltimore Ravens did something like that with Joe Flacco and Lamar Jackson, but even then, it wasn’t a true rotation. Jackson was still in more of a gadget role.
It’s also interesting to hear Tomlin state that they could have used Wilson and Fields against the Las Vegas Raiders. There isn’t enough information to definitively say what would have triggered that, but perhaps if the offense had continued to struggle, Wilson could have been rotated in. The Steelers did something similar with multiple pieces on their offensive line earlier this year.
Fields has been very effective in the red zone, so perhaps he could get more work there. His rushing ability has seemed to catch Tomlin’s eye. Before Week 6, he was the only Steeler with a rushing touchdown. That had to get some gears turning in the heads of Tomlin and OC Arthur Smith.
During that same press conference, Tomlin also stated that if Wilson is the starter, then that doesn’t necessarily say anything negative about Fields.
“Sometimes it doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with what [Fields] has done or not done. [Fields] has been an asset to us,” he said. “Last week, for example, his ability to utilize his legs, by design and by ad-lib, was a significant component of that game. He rushed for 50-plus yards and two touchdowns. We’re appreciative of that.”
Once again, Tomlin makes sure to take note of Fields’ incredible rushing talents. That could be a hint to what his role could be if Wilson is the starter. He has started to falter more as a passer, although he has protected the ball well. This doesn’t seem like the final nail in his coffin. It sounds more like the Steelers just want to see what they have in Wilson.
Fields will probably still see time on the field. If he impresses in those moments, and Wilson struggles, he could always get another chance as QB1. His story isn’t finished though. The Steelers have back-to-back primetime games coming up, and he could use this as motivation to show everyone that he can still be a high-caliber quarterback. He’s been a good pro so far, so hopefully he will buy into whatever role Tomlin gives him.

The re-exhibition period runs from 15th to 19th October 2024.
The Electoral Commission (EC) convened an Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting with all registered political parties, civil society organisations (CSOs), and donor partners on Tuesday, 15th October 2024 to discuss the re-exhibition of the Provisional Voters Register (PVR).
Recommended articles
In a bid to ensure transparency, the meeting was broadcast live to the public, following the Commission's commitment to open governance, reiterated during a special IPAC meeting on 1st October.
Attendance
The meeting saw the participation of all registered political parties, including the National Democratic Congress (NDC), New Patriotic Party (NPP), Convention People’s Party (CPP), Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), Great Consolidated People’s Party (GCPP), and others, alongside CSOs, members of the diplomatic community, and various stakeholders, including the media.
Key Points from the EC Chairperson
In her address, EC Chairperson Mrs Jean Mensa outlined several significant developments regarding the revised PVR:
- The revised PVR has been made available online at no cost, allowing voters to check their registration details conveniently.
- Hard copies of the revised PVR were distributed to political parties and independent candidates during the meeting.
- The updated PVR reflects substantial improvements over the version presented during the August 2024 exhibition exercise.
- A template will be provided for parties to document and report any discrepancies found in the revised PVR.
- This marks the first instance of the PVR being re-exhibited, highlighting the Commission's commitment to transparency and responsiveness to concerns raised by political parties, notably the NDC.
- Voters can verify their details for free using the shortcode 71151# or by visiting the EC’s official website at ec.gov.gh, where they can enter their 10-digit Voter ID number to access their information.
- Any discrepancies identified should be reported to the local District Office for correction before the end of the re-exhibition period on 19th October. After this date, while voters can still check their details online, corrections will not be permitted.
- Political parties were provided with a comprehensive list of 40,647 polling stations and 328 special voters.
Voter Registration Statistics
The EC also shared current statistics regarding the voter registration process:
- Total valid voters: 18,772,251
- Females: 9,689,987
- Males: 9,082,264
- First-time voters: 708,280
- Special voters: 131,476
- Total number of transfers: 332,107
- Transferred voters list: 311,344
- Proxy voters list: 2,142
- Exception list: 33,536
- Multiples list: 26,790
- Missing voters list: 1,273
With these measures in place, the Electoral Commission continues to emphasise its dedication to ensuring a transparent and inclusive electoral process, paving the way for a credible and successful election.

Black Mirror season 7 premiere date: October 2024 update
With us firmly into the month of October now, what more can be said regarding a Black Mirror season 7 premiere date?
First and foremost, let’s just point out here that of course, we want nothing more than to see this show back on the air and soon — especially since we know already that there is a “USS Callister” sequel on the way! Some of the cast members for this batch of episodes include Awkwafina, Paul Giamatti, Issa Rae, Emma Corrin, Chris O’Dowd, Peter Capaldi, Rashida Jones, Cristin Milioti, Tracee Ellis Ross, Jimmi Simpson, and Harriet Walter. This is a pretty eclectic mix, and we do tend to think there will be a lot of unique stories. (It has been noted already that a lot of the episodes ahead are going to be more sci-fi focused than what we saw in the past.)

So let’s now get back to discussing a possible premiere date — when is the show going to return? Well, the odds are fairly low that we’re going to get a start date this month. Instead, our feeling is that we’re going to be waiting until the end of this year or early 2025 to learn more about what’s coming. (The show is not slated to actually come back until next year.)
The thing that just makes Black Mirror so hard to predict here in general is its history. Think about it for a moment: Charlie Brooker and Netflix love for things to be unpredictable, and we see no real evidence that this is about to change. They could announce a date months in advance; or, they could drop the episodes as more of a surprise. Since we have seen the streaming service do both of these things in the past, we have to imagine that both possibilities are out there.
What are you most hoping to see moving into Black Mirror season 7, no matter when it premieres?

Glamorous TikTok star Rachel Yaffe dies from liver cancer at 27 after warning followers to 'trust their gut'
A TikTok star has died from a rare liver cancer at age 27 following a seven-year battle with the disease.
Rachel Yaffe, from Maryland, passed away on October 11, with one of her tragic final posts detailing how she was feeling weak after another bout of radiation.
In the clip, she appears in good spirits, but she reveals how her appetite was starting to wane, as evident from her increasingly frail figure.
Ms Yaffe - who documented her cancer journey online - said she felt like something was wrong in her late teens but put it down to a gluten intolerance.
But after visiting a doctor who saw her level of concern, she was referred to a specialist who discovered a 20cm tumor in her liver.
A biopsy confirmed fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma, a rare form of cancer that is unique because it affects mostly young, healthy people.
Rachel Yaffe from Maryland passed away on October 11 at the age of 27, following a seven year battle with liver cancer
The disease is extremely rare, only affecting around 200 people the world each year.
The majority of cases are in teenagers and young adults, though cases of patients as young as two and as old as 74 have been recorded.
Because there are few tell-tale symptoms, most patients are diagnosed late and the disease has already spread from the liver to other parts of the body where it becomes much harder to treat.
The five-year survival rate for stage I fibrolamellar carcinoma is 86%, however this plummets to 44% if the cancer progresses to stage 2 onwards.
After experiencing bloating in her abdomen, Ms Yaffe was diagnosed with stage 4 fibrolamellar and she was rushed in for surgery a few days later for the tumor to be removed.
While she believed that this would be the end of her cancer saga, it was just the beginning, and it returned three months later in the liver and the lungs.
This, she said, is when she 'kicked into gear with research and healing.'
Over the years, the former college lacrosse player said she tried everything to battle the disease, including traditional and alternative medicines.
Many of Ms Yaffe's past posts on Instagram capture shots of healthy meals, as she strived to nourish her body with dishes such as homemade chicken soup and 'brown rice noodles with sautéed veggies.'
Ms Yaffe said she felt like something was wrong in her late teens but put it down to a gluten intolerance
A biopsy confirmed that Ms Yaffe had an extremely rare form of liver cancer known as fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma
Touching on how her diet changed during her cancer journey, Ms Yaffe tells viewers in a TikTok posted this July: 'I was plant-based vegan for quite a long amount time.
'After going what I've been through and reevaluating my blood work with my new practitioners, we found out that I was pretty deficient in some of the nutrients that I really needed from proteins and fats so I'm actually leaning more into the keto carnivore diet, which is so new for me.'
She finishes the post by showing the contents of her lunch plate, which a piece of avocado, two chicken and apple sausages, a piece of turkey bacon and and an egg, 'all cooked in beef tallow.'
After living in Los Angeles for a period of time, Ms Yaffe relocated to New York in September 2023, where her sister lives.
However, shortly after her big move she was hit by a major health setback in February of this year as her lung hemorrhaged.
In a TikTok post, Ms Yaffe explains that this was due to a tumor putting pressure on her heart and blocking the airflow to her lung, which caused it to bleed.
While she underwent multiple life-saving emergency procedures and was incubated for three days, her parents gave consent for her to start radiation and immunotherapy to shrink the tumor and stop the bleeding.
In an update Ms Yaffe gave on her condition in June, she said she got scans back and there were some 'really positive parts and some not so ideal parts' so she was figuring out her plan and next steps.
While the majority of the tumors in her body looked 'stable,' there was one in her abdomen that doctors were concerned about so she opted for proton therapy to treat it.

On October 11, Ms Yaffe's obituary was posted online with details for her funeral. Above, pictured with a friend in September
With proton beam therapy, beams of particles called protons treat the tumor.
But unlike X-rays, they don't carry on travelling (through healthy tissue) after reaching their target; they instead come to a halt.
Ms Yaffe said she found that she experienced less side effects from the proton therapy and it didn't impact her normal life.
After this most recent round of proton therapy, Ms Yaffe rested up at her parents' home in Baltimore before returning to New York at the end of August.
However, in a TikTok posted from her apartment in Manhattan on September, she appears to be weaker than ever, with her physique increasingly frailer.
This would be her final video.
Maintaining an upbeat frame of mind, Ms Yaffe tells viewers: 'I lost so much of my strength when I was getting radiation and I'm starting from day one.
'It's been so hard to get up and force myself to move, so I'm working on doing that.
'Thankfully it's easier to walk around here being in the city.
'Plus, I'm working really hard to stick to a really strict food regimen for cancer healing so its taking up a lot of energy.
In a TikTok pinned at the top of her feed, Ms Yaffe says her lasting message is for others to get checked out by doctors if they think something is wrong
'I [have] a pretty low appetite so its been a little bit difficult both physically and mentally but I'm working on just focusing on the small things that that bring me joy.
'I'm really, really, really prioritizing my mental health as well.'
On October 11, Ms Yaffe's obituary was posted online with details surrounding her funeral.
It reads: 'She is survived by her devoted parents, Linda (nee Bass) and Wayne Yaffe; cherished brother and sister, Jordan Yaffe and Jessica Yaffe; dear grandmother, Sydney Bass; and loving dog, Layla.'
In a TikTok pinned at the top of her feed, Ms Yaffe says her lasting message is for others to get checked out by doctors if they think something is wrong.
She says, touching on how she dealt with symptoms long before getting help: 'I feel like everybody was making me feel like it was my anxiety and like I was crazy and I know a lot of people have stories like this.
'It made me stop trusting my body and the signals that it was sending me... because everyone was telling me that I was wrong and they couldn't find anything.
'If there is one thing that I've learned, it is to trust your body. Don't let anybody make you feel like you are wrong or crazy for feeling certain things.'

While the original Joker had been compared to Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver, that film's acclaimed screenwriter Paul Schrader wasn't impressed with Todd Phillips' panned sequel, Joker: Folie à Deux.
In a chat in Interview magazine, Schrader said he got to the theater to see the movie, but "I saw about 10 or 15 minutes of it. I left, bought something, came back, saw another 10 minutes. That was enough."
He added, "It's a really bad musical."
When pressed for details, he had some choice words for Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, as well as their respective characters Joker/Arthur Fleck and Harley Quinn.
"I don't like either of those people," he sniffed.
"I don't like them as actors. I don't like them as characters. I don't like the whole thing. I mean, those are people who, if they came to your house, you'd slip out the back door."
The Oscar-nominated writer used to be a film critic, and it seems other critics agree with his review: Joker: Folie à Deux has a 33% from them on the aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.

Global Bot Services Market Overview
Increasing Demand for Automation
The rising need for automation in various business operations is a primary driver of growth in the Bot Services market. Organizations across sectors are seeking ways to streamline processes, reduce human error, and enhance efficiency. By implementing bot services, companies can automate repetitive tasks, such as customer inquiries, appointment scheduling, and data entry, freeing up human resources for more complex and value-added activities. This shift not only improves productivity but also leads to significant cost savings, making automation an attractive option for businesses looking to optimize their operations.
Advancements in Artificial Intelligence
Significant advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are transforming the capabilities of bot services, driving market growth. These technologies enable bots to understand and process natural language more effectively, allowing for seamless interactions with users. Enhanced AI capabilities facilitate more personalized and context-aware responses, improving the overall user experience. As bots become more sophisticated, they can handle increasingly complex inquiries and tasks, making them valuable tools for businesses in enhancing customer engagement and satisfaction.
Growing Adoption of Messaging Platforms
The proliferation of messaging platforms and social media is creating new opportunities for bot services to thrive. With millions of users engaging on platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Slack, businesses are leveraging bots to connect with customers where they are most active. This trend is particularly significant as consumers increasingly prefer quick and convenient communication methods. By integrating bot services into these popular platforms, organizations can provide immediate support and information, ultimately driving customer loyalty and improving brand reputation. As more businesses recognize the potential of bots in enhancing customer interactions, the market is expected to experience robust growth.
To Purchase a Comprehensive Report Analysis:
Data Privacy and Security Concerns
One of the significant restraints limiting expansion in the Bot Services market is the growing concern over data privacy and security. With the increasing frequency of data breaches and cyberattacks, businesses are apprehensive about integrating bot services that may expose sensitive customer information. Regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and various data protection laws impose stringent compliance requirements that companies must adhere to when implementing bots. As a result, organizations may hesitate to adopt bot services, fearing potential legal repercussions and damage to their reputation if data security is compromised.
Complexity of Implementation
The complexity involved in developing and deploying sophisticated bot services is another barrier to market growth. Organizations often face challenges in integrating these systems with existing software and workflows, which can require significant technical expertise and resources. Smaller businesses, in particular, may lack the necessary infrastructure or skilled personnel to implement and maintain advanced bot solutions effectively. This complexity can lead to extended implementation timelines and increased costs, discouraging potential adopters from fully embracing bot technologies.
Resistance to Change
Resistance to change within organizations can hinder the adoption of bot services, limiting market expansion. Employees may feel threatened by the introduction of automation, fearing job displacement or a reduction in their roles. This cultural pushback can result in a lack of buy-in from staff, making it challenging to implement bot solutions effectively. Additionally, some organizations may prefer traditional methods of customer interaction, perceiving bots as impersonal or less effective. Overcoming this resistance requires significant change management efforts and education about the benefits of bots, which can slow the pace of adoption and limit market growth.
Geographic Dominance
The Bot Services market is predominantly led by North America and Europe, which together account for a major share due to their advanced technology infrastructure and high adoption rates of AI-driven solutions. North America, particularly the United States, is a leader in bot services, driven by tech giants and a robust ecosystem of AI and machine learning research. Europe follows closely, with many countries investing in automation to enhance business efficiencies and customer engagement. Meanwhile, regions like Asia and Africa are emerging as growing markets for bot services. With increasing digitalization, expanding internet connectivity, and a rise in smartphone usage, these regions are gradually embracing bot technology to cater to a younger, tech-savvy population. This trend reflects a broadening adoption of bot services globally as businesses seek to meet diverse customer needs in an increasingly digital world.

During his weekly Tuesday press conference, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin ruled out OLB Nick Herbig and C Zach Frazier for the team’s Sunday Night Week 7 contest against the New York Jets. Tomlin said via the team’s YouTube channel that Ryan McCollum, who replaced Frazier when he left with an ankle injury in Week 6, will start in his place.
“Nick Herbig can still be categorized as out with his hamstring, Zach Frazier will be categorized as out with his ankle. Ryan McCollum, who finished the game, is scheduled to play in his place,” Tomlin said.
Tomlin didn’t rule out RB Cordarrelle Patterson or S Damontae Kazee playing against the Jets and said that the team will let their participation throughout the week decide whether they’ll play on Sunday. In a bit of good news, Tomlin said the team is “really optimistic” about Alex Highsmith returning. He also said that TE MyCole Pruitt will also get some limited work this week after missing the last four games with an injury.
“Some of these other guys, we’re gonna watch their participation throughout the course of the week and let their participation be our guide in terms of their potential availability,” Tomlin said. “Patterson, as he works his way back to us, really optimistic about Alex Highsmith working his way back to us. Kazee, Pruitt, are some others that will be getting at least a limited amount of work at the top part of the week and kind of letting it pick up based on what transpires and then considerations from there as we go.”
It’s not ideal that Frazier is out, but FOX Sports insider Jordan Schultz reported that Frazier is “week to week,” which is at least better news that an injury that could be more long-term. Tomlin also called “Frazier “week to week,” saying the injury is not a long-term one.
Herbig suffered a hamstring injury in Week 5 and missed the Week 6 game against the Raiders. With Highsmith potentially returning this week from the groin injury that’s sidelined him the last three games, the Steelers will at least have their original starting EDGE duo potentially back with T.J. Watt and Highsmith, although Herbig remaining out hurts depth at the position.
All things considered, it’s better injury news for the 4-2 Steelers than they’ve had in recent weeks, although Frazier is a big loss as he’d been playing like one of the best centers in the league as a rookie.
Kazee missed Week 6 and could be back as more secondary depth, while Patterson would give the Steelers a healthy running back room with Jaylen Warren returning in Week 6 behind Najee Harris. We’ll see if Kazee, Pruitt and Patterson along with Highsmith can show enough in practice to be ready for a big AFC battle on Sunday night.

NCIS season 22 episode 4 will be huge Knight, Palmer story
Following the NCIS season 22 premiere on CBS, we understand fully if you are hoping that Knight and Palmer have a future. After all, Jess is coming back to DC, and it was clear last season that there were deep feelings there. Jimmy was just hurt that she was contemplating taking that job on the West Coast, and it caused all of his trauma and abandonment issues to come into play.
There is no denying that the two being back around each other serves as a possible beacon of hope for their future. At the same time, there is no guarantee that they will end up being back together; based on what Katrina Law is saying, there are clearly a lot of hurdles that the two still need to jump through.
Speaking to TV Insider, the actress noted that episode 4 will be huge for her character and Jimmy. She notes that in this installment, Knight will have been back for weeks and yet, there are still conversations that need to be had about their split and what happened:
…They haven’t spoken about anything and now all of a sudden they are in a situation where they are sitting next to each other with no way out and the conversation needs to be had … And I don’t know how it’s going to be edited or how it’s going to come across the audience, but I think that there is a very definitive moment where Knight opens up the door to say, do you want to stay this way or would you like something to possibly change? And Jimmy has a reaction that kind of breaks her heart a little bit.
…I think she realizes that there are these fundamental issues that she cannot work through with him, that he has to do his own work on these issues to become whole again and she just needs to take a step back.
In other words, have some tissues on standby. You may need them in this episode, but also in a few others a little later down the road.

In a significant turn of events, over 300 employees of the Adani-controlled Thiruvananthapuram International Airport have opted to transfer to other airports managed by the Airport Authority of India by submitting their resignations. This marks a new chapter in the ongoing transition of the airport's management. The mass transfer occurs three years after Adani Airport Holdings Limited (AAHL) officially took over operations at the airport following a contentious privatisation process.
The airport, which operates both domestic and international terminals in Thiruvananthapuram, the capital city of Kerala, is currently fully owned by AAHL, a 100% subsidiary of Adani Enterprises Limited. Adani Airport Holdings currently manages eight airports in India, including Thiruvananthapuram.
Thiruvananthapuram airport had come under the limelight when there was a widespread protest against its privatisation by the Kerala state government, opposition parties and airport employee unions. The transition to private ownership has been contentious, with stakeholders expressing concerns about the potential impacts on airport operations and passenger services.
Under the terms of the agreement, AAHL was to operate, manage, and develop the airport for 50 years, while AAI employees were given the option to either remain at this airport or be relocated to other AAI-run airports across the country.
“In order to make the transition smoother, the Airport Authority of India (AAI) and AAHL jointly ran the airport for the first three years after which AAHL has now taken the complete control of it. As far as the employee options were concerned, this period was over on 13th October," said K.P Suresh, President of the Airport Authority Employees Union (AAEU).
Suresh added that the employees were given a choice to get absorbed by AAHL or accept transfers to other AAI-controlled airports. “We all have decided to take the transfer,” he said.
"Since the takeover in 2019, AAHL has hired nearly 90% of the necessary staff and provided them with the required training. Now that the process is complete, the airport does not face any staff shortages," said Suresh while talking to The New Indian Express.
Employees who resigned from Thiruvananthapuram Airport have been transferred to various airports within and outside Kerala, including Coimbatore, Chennai, Kozhikode, and Madurai.
For people like Suresh, however, it’s the emotional impact that matters. These employees have worked together as a family for many years, with most having settled in the area. Now, they have all been scattered to different locations.
“While the employees' union assisted some in securing their preferred transfer locations, that was not the case for everyone," Suresh lamented.
The employees' union had previously resisted the privatization of airports, citing concerns over potential increases in utility service fees and other factors.
Thiruvananthapuram Airport recently made headlines by announcing a 50 percent increase in the User Development Fee (UDF) for embarking and disembarking passengers.

In a statement released on Tuesday, 15th October, the police urged the public to provide credible information to assist in the arrest of the suspect and other individuals involved in the altercation. “The images of the suspect are attached, and we urge members of the public to support us with credible information as we continue our intelligence-led operation to apprehend him and others responsible for the disturbance,” the statement read.
The Ghana Police Service has declared a man, identified by his pseudonym “Fatau Motorway,” wanted after footage surfaced showing him wielding a weapon during a violent clash between supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) at Mamobi, Accra.

This follows an earlier arrest made in connection with the clash, which erupted on Sunday, 13th October 2024, between rival political party supporters. The incident resulted in injuries to nine individuals and has stoked political tensions in the area, raising concerns ahead of the 2024 general election.
Seven of the injured individuals have since been discharged from hospital after receiving treatment, while two remain hospitalised, according to the police.
Efforts are underway to locate and arrest all individuals involved in the violence. The police have restored calm in the Mamobi area and are continuing investigations.
Despite the gravity of the situation, neither the NPP nor the NDC has issued any official statements addressing the actions of their supporters or condemning the violence. The clash, part of a series of politically charged unrests leading up to the election, has alarmed civil society groups and the public, who are calling for swift action to prevent further escalation.
The police have assured the public of a thorough investigation and pledged to ensure that all those involved face justice. They have called for calm as their intelligence-led operation proceeds.

Using helmets and protective equipment while cycling is crucial for preventing accidents, as they help reduce injuries and instill a sense of safety consciousness among riders.
Understanding the legal and safety implications of not wearing appropriate gear is crucial for cyclists in St. Louis, Missouri, especially when navigating the aftermath of an accident in places like St. Louis. Consulting an experienced St. Louis bicycle accident lawyer can provide essential guidance on how protective gear can impact accident claims and compensation.
In Missouri, where distracted driving caused 87 fatal crashes in 2021, including accidents involving bicyclists, the importance of wearing helmets and protective gear cannot be overstated. These safety measures are vital in reducing the severity of injuries in the event of an accident, potentially saving lives and mitigating long-term consequences.
Let’s take a look at the significance of bicycle helmets and protective gear in accident prevention.
Safeguarding the Head: The Importance of Helmets
Cyclists often consider the head a delicate area when riding a bike since it’s prone to injury during accidents. Helmets are specially designed to absorb shocks and safeguard the head and brain in case of a crash. Research has proven that wearing a helmet significantly lowers the risk of head injuries. These safety gears not only absorb impacts but also evenly distribute the force across the head to reduce the chances of traumatic brain damage. Bike helmets come in a variety of styles and materials to suit cycling activities, ensuring safety and comfort.
Guarding the Body: Extra Safety Equipment
Helmets are important for cyclists’ safety. At the same time, other protective gear, like elbow and knee pads, also serves a role by safeguarding joints from injuries such as scrapes and bruises. Gloves provide grip and protect hands from abrasions and blisters. Reflective clothing and lights increase visibility, making cyclists easily seen by drivers, especially in dim lighting. These safety components work together to lower the risk of injuries in case of accidents.
Advantages That Go Beyond Keeping You Safe
Wearing bicycle helmets and protective gear offers more than protection—it also boosts riders’ sense of security and confidence. The gear not only promotes safety but also encourages more individuals to embrace cycling as a regular pursuit. This heightened assurance can result in safe rides and contribute to a healthier way of living. Additionally, using safety equipment can inspire others—especially young cyclists—to prioritize safety in their riding practices.
Uncovering False Beliefs and Misunderstandings
There are still misunderstandings surrounding bicycle helmets and protective gear despite their advantages being highlighted in discussions held by people. The idea that helmets are heavy and uncomfortable is a misconception among individuals; however, modern helmets are manufactured with materials and ventilation systems to ensure comfort even during extended rides. Another false belief is that seasoned cyclists do not require any gear as they possess skills in riding bicycles. However, it is important to note that accidents can occur regardless of one’s experience level. Therefore, it is advisable for all cyclists—both beginners and experienced riders—to wear gear as a precautionary measure against potential mishaps.
Encouraging a Safe Environment
Creating a safe environment relies on everyone pitching in—from groups and businesses to each person in the community. Promoting the use of helmets and safety gear should be part of community events such as school and cycling group activities. By spreading the word about safety gear through initiatives, we can make people more conscious of its significance and encourage a positive shift in how they view it. Moreover, making protective gear readily available and budget-friendly can help overcome obstacles that might hinder individuals from embracing these safety precautions.
Selecting the Appropriate Equipment
Choosing the right gear for cycling requires taking into account different aspects, like the type of cycling you do and your personal preferences, as well as specific safety requirements to consider. Helmets need to be snug and compliant with safety regulations established by the proper authorities. Elbow and knee pads should provide ample protection while still allowing for freedom of movement. Reflective gear and lights ought to be luminous and easily seen from afar. Spending time selecting the appropriate gear guarantees optimal safety and comfort, which enhances the overall enjoyment of cycling.
End Note
Using helmets and protective equipment while cycling is crucial for preventing accidents, as they help reduce injuries and instill a sense of safety consciousness among riders. Acknowledging the significance of these safety measures is essential to promoting responsible biking habits and enhancing the well-being of the community. Choosing to prioritize safety gear allows cyclists to relish the advantages of biking while reducing the risks associated with it.

The United States presidential election will be held on November 5. In analyst Nate Silver’s aggregate of national polls, Democrat Kamala Harris leads Republican Donald Trump by 49.3-46.5, a slight gain for Trump since last Monday, when Harris led by 49.3-46.2.
Joe Biden’s final position before his withdrawal as Democratic candidate on July 21 was a national poll deficit against Trump of 45.2-41.2.
The US president isn’t elected by the national popular vote, but by the Electoral College, in which each state receives electoral votes equal to its federal House seats (population based) and senators (always two). Almost all states award their electoral votes as winner-takes-all, and it takes 270 electoral votes to win (out of 538 total).
Relative to the national popular vote, the Electoral College is biased to Trump, with Harris needing at least a two-point popular vote win to be the Electoral College favourite in Silver’s model.
Last Monday, Harris led by one to two points in Pennsylvania (19 electoral votes), Michigan (15), Wisconsin (10) and Nevada (six). In the last week, Trump has gained in all these states in Silver’s aggregates, reducing Harris’s lead to about one point in these states.
If Harris wins these four states, she probably wins the Electoral College by at least a 276-262 margin. Trump leads by less than one point in Georgia and North Carolina, which both have 16 electoral votes.
While Harris is still barely ahead in the Electoral College, her margins have been reduced in the states where she’s leading. As a result, Silver’s model now gives Harris a 52% chance to win the Electoral College, down from 56% last Monday.
This means the presidential election is effectively a 50-50 toss-up. There’s a 23% chance that Harris wins the popular vote but loses the Electoral College. The FiveThirtyEight model is giving similar results to Silver’s model, with Harris a 53% favourite.
There’s still over three weeks until the election, and polls could change in that time. The polls could also be biased against either Trump or Harris, and in this case that candidate could win easily. With the polls across the swing states so close, either candidate could sweep all these states.
I wrote about the US election for The Poll Bludger last Thursday, and also covered the UK Conservative leadership election, the far-right winning the most seats at the September 29 Austrian election and Japan’s October 27 election.
Ratings, economic data
Harris’s net favourability peaked about two weeks ago at +1.4 in the FiveThirtyEight national poll aggregate, but it has now dropped back to net zero, with 46.8% favourable and 46.8% unfavourable. Harris’ net favourability had surged from about -16 after becoming the Democratic nominee, and she gained further ground after the September 10 debate with Trump.
Trump’s net favourability has been steady in the last two months, and he’s now at -9.4, with 52.6% unfavourable and 43.2% favourable. Harris’ running mate Tim Walz is at +4.2 net favourable and Trump’s running mate JD Vance is at -9.6 net favourable. Biden’s net approval remains poor at -14.0.
US headline inflation rose 0.2% in September, the same increase as in August. In the 12 months to September, inflation was up 2.4%, the smallest increase since 2021. Core inflation increased 0.3% in September, the same as in August, and is up 3.3% in the 12 months to September.
Real (inflation-adjusted) hourly earnings were up 0.2% in September after a 0.3% increase in August, while real weekly earnings slid 0.1% after a 0.6% increase in August owing to changes in hours worked. In the 12 months to September, real hourly earnings were up 1.5% and weekly earnings up 0.9%.
Congressional elections
I wrote about the elections for the House of Representatives and Senate that will be held concurrently with the presidential election three weeks ago. The House has 435 single-member seats that are apportioned to states on a population basis, while there are two senators for each of the 50 states.
The House only has a two-year term, so the last House election was at the 2022 midterm elections, when Republicans won the House by 222–213 over Democrats. The FiveThirtyEight aggregate of polls of the national House race gives Democrats a 47.1–45.9 lead over Republicans, a gain for Republican from a 46.7–44.5 Democratic lead three weeks ago.
Senators have six-year terms, with one-third up for election every two years. Democrats and aligned independents currently have a 51-49 Senate majority, but they are defending 23 of the 33 regular seats up, including seats in three states Trump won easily in both 2016 and 2020: West Virginia, Montana and Ohio.
West Virginia is a certain Republican gain after the retirement of former Democratic (now independent) Senator Joe Manchin at this election. Republicans have taken a 5.4-point lead in Montana in the FiveThirtyEight poll aggregate, while Democrats are just 2.3 points ahead in Ohio.
Republicans are being challenged by independent Dan Osborn in Nebraska, and he trails Republican Deb Fischer by just 1.5 points. Democrats did not contest to avoid splitting the vote. In other Senate contests, the incumbent party is at least four points ahead.
If Republicans gain West Virginia and Montana, but lose Nebraska to Osborn, and no other seats change hands, Republicans would have a 50-49 lead in the Senate. If Harris wins the presidency, Osborn would be the decisive vote as a Senate tie can be broken by the vice president, who would be Walz. This is the rosiest plausible scenario for Democrats.

Alex Guarnaschelli is one of the most well-known Italian-American chefs, and yet, until today, she has never published a cookbook focused exclusively on Italian dishes. Trained in classical French cuisine, Guarnaschelli is the star of three Food Network shows—Ciao House, Supermarket Stakeout, and Alex vs. America—and has authored several best-selling cookbooks about home cooking and family-inspired recipes.
When it came time for her latest, she says her editor told her, “You know, you’re Italian American forever.” A lightbulb went off. “I’m like, there’s the book.”
The result, Italian American Forever, published by Clarkson Potter today (October 15), is a no-nonsense guide to the greatest hits of what has become one of our country’s favorite cuisines, as well as many deep cuts—lesser known but worthy dishes that Guarnaschelli makes accessible. Here, in this lightly edited Q&A, she discusses the new book in detail and the main idea behind it: “It’s stuff people really want to cook,” she says.
In the introduction to your new book, you talk about your mother and father’s approaches to making red sauce, and how they represent two different but connected philosophies that informed your upbringing.
My mother's family is from Sicily—Calabria—and my father's family is from Naples. So there's obviously a vastly different sensibility about the food from those two regions of Italy. And then you have the American factor introduced, and the way parents experienced the Italian American dishes in their own homes. So my father would bust out all afternoon, and my mother would put together something simpler and lighter. I mean, my mother’s sauce, the whole thing took half an hour. And those two different flavors represent a lot of what we often crave. Like, sometimes we want the all-day, grandma's ragù kind of vibes. And sometimes we want, like, a more weeknight kind of thing. I didn't think anything of it growing up. But now with some perspective, I just realized how different it was.
You write about nostalgic trips to Italian markets in New York City and include photos of you shopping. What were the memories that came back to you about growing up, particularly now that your parents are no longer with us, and how did that influence the book?
My mother would take two trains, a bus, a water taxi, and a bicycle to get a bottle of balsamic vinegar, you know? And in 1974, or whenever it was when Dean and Deluca came on the scene, my mother and I went down there. She got a real block of the Parmigiano Reggiano. We were shopping at Balducci's. We were going to Di Palo’s on Grand Street to buy mozzarella. It was ingredients, and particularly for the Italian dishes, that were the utmost priority to my mother and father. So it starts with a story of ingredients, and me thinking, “This is what everyone's eating, right?” And you know, it's only until you leave the house that you start realizing you live in an unusual place. I was over-parented in the cooking and shopping area and under-parented in other ways. And everybody has those places where things were more pronounced than others, but flavor—buying flavor by buying the best ingredients—and knowing how to develop flavor was something that I learned from my parents. When I put this book together, I thought, that's what I want people to know. [Readers] have a lot of flavor available to them, and this book should help them coax it out of their own food.
How did you decide to make this an Italian American cookbook?
A lot of what I covered [previously] has to do with my journey as a chef. I spent many years living in France, so a lot of the food that I make is really more French American, with hints of Italy. And I thought, you know, people are always asking me, “What did you eat growing up?” And I'm thinking, you know, my mom cooked a lot of French food, but it was really the comfort food nights—the random Tuesdays, the Sundays—where my parents were cooking these dishes, or we would walk from Seventh to Ninth Avenue in Hell's Kitchen and go to any one of the 50 [Italian restaurants]. So, you know, it's nostalgia, but it's more of what I ate and witnessed being cooked growing up, and I had never really explored that.
Did being a host of Ciao House have anything to do with you wanting to write an Italian cookbook?
No, I’m not gonna lie to you. That didn't really play a part. It was more just remembering what I actually watched my mother and father cook. Because tapping into all the cooking my mother did from James Beard and Julia Child's books, and all the French food, was a ton of these dishes, and I didn't realize how Italian my parents were.
Your mom was a cookbook editor, right?
Oh, yeah, a big one. Quite honestly, I just miss my parents, and this was a really fun, more joyous way to remember all of it.
The chapters start with antipasti and first courses, and salads and soups, but then become more distinctive, going from fish and shellfish dishes to homemade pasta doughs and sauces, then classic pastas, chicken, classic mains, and others. How did you structure it?
The meal disguised as a series of chapters: so antipasto, smaller dishes, fish, pasta, and, you know, things like stromboli and garlic knots. Then desserts, and then cookies, because you may have a dessert and then have a box of cookies that someone brought in the white box with the red and white string. It's just a thinly veiled agenda for a meal. You don't have to make it, but if you read through it, you're inadvertently eating a whole meal. That was my thought.
I was surprised that there are so many fish and shellfish dishes.
Part of me thinks, as a chef, that people are daunted by seafood. They're intimidated, and they don't really know how to approach it. So they'll either read about it and enjoy reading about it, or think, maybe this is something I can actually do and add to my repertoire. But also, these were dishes my mom made a lot. It's not a ton of stuff that's terribly fancy, right? It's not like poached turbot with caviar. You know, my dad and I would walk up to Citerella, which at that time was just a fish store, and he would go through and pick out fish. We didn't do it a lot, but it was a big thread in my childhood, and I think it's something that home cooks want to do more of, but they're more apt to eat these dishes in a restaurant. So you can either read about that chapter and say, I'm gonna go out and eat baked clams, or like, I’m going to make them myself. It's kind of a chef's responsibility to share accessible fish and seafood recipes.
I have to ask you the story of one recipe: Carmela Soprano’s Lasagna
I've already covered my family lasagna in previous books. So I was thinking, okay, if I'm not tapping into what my parents or any of my grandparents made, where am I looking? And [my daughter] Ava and I were watching The Sopranos a few years ago. And, you know, Bobby Bacala’s wife dies, and he's got his wife's ziti in the freezer: Karen's last ziti that Janice, Tony's sister, makes him eat, and that's how they kind of start their love affair. But in the freezer, he has a number of dishes that other women on the show had dropped off to him, and one of them was Carmela's lasagna with the basil in the middle. And Ava was like, This sounds so cool, all these different lasagnas. Let's interpret Carmela's lasagna, imagining what she's like. And so we took a show we loved and a larger than life character, and we wove her into what we make, sort of like an homage, out of respect to her. You know, like when the Queen of England came over for dinner in the 16th century, and they would make this huge cake with like 18 layers of flaming meringue in her honor.

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

Sharing a clip of the Democratic leader giving a rambling answer to Colbert upon being asked what she'd change if she wins next month's election, White wrote: 'I don’t like to post a lot of political content, but this clip should scare EVERYON
'She is the sitting VP and running for President of the United States. She is incapable of putting a sentence together without a teleprompter and even she appears to know she is in way over her head.
'This election is very important and this along with the many other clips of her attempting to answer questions should SCARE THE S*** OUT OF YOU!!!'
White is not the only sporting figure to throw their support behind Trump of late.
Last week controversial Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker revealed he will be voting for the Republican in next month's election, as did former racing driver Danica Patrick.

The New York Jets just keep digging the hole deeper.
They put everything into one shot this season with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback. They're 2-4, one of the most disappointing teams in the league. They have fired their coach, Robert Saleh, and in their first game without him they made a month's worth of mistakes and lost a big game to the Buffalo Bills.
If the Jets had won that game, Tuesday's trade for Davante Adams would have made more sense. Now it just seems like they're chasing losses.
The Jets sent a conditional third-round pick that can become a second to the Las Vegas Raiders for Adams. The whole Adams situation isn't the best look for the Raiders either, but we'll come back to that. For now it's the Jets, already all-in, reaching in their pocket to put more chips in the middle but with a bad hand.
There's a scenario in which this all works out for New York. But you have to tell a fairly unbelievable story to get there.
Jets' Davante Adams trade doesn't solve their issues
Adams essentially replaces Mike Williams as the Jets' No. 2 receiver, a few months after the Jets signed Williams to a $10 million deal as part of their veteran shopping spree. In a perfect world Adams is the All-Pro that Aaron Rodgers remembers from his Green Bay Packers days. In reality, he's a 32-year-old receiver whose numbers were way down last season — 1,516 yards and 15.2-yard average in 2022 to 1,144 and 11.1 in 2023 — and is joining a new team in midseason.
By the time Adams gets going in the Jets offense, if he ever does, it might be too late.
Adams could be a big help, giving the Jets a needed secondary option in the passing game after Garrett Wilson (though Allen Lazard has been quite productive) and it could help the Jets take off. But what's the real ceiling for this team?
The Jets are two games behind the Bills now, and the Bills have a road win over New York for tiebreaker purposes. if the Jets don't rally to overtake the Bills in the AFC East, the fight for a wild card spot might not be as tough as first anticipated due to down seasons from the Cincinnati Bengals and Miami Dolphins. Prudently, the Jets would have been better off looking toward what comes next rather than shipping off what might be a top 75 draft pick.
For this to all feel like a success, Adams would have to have a nearly immediate impact, reverse a troubling downward career trend, the 2-4 Jets would have to go about 8-3 to make the playoffs, then in the playoffs they would have to get on a hot streak against division winners who look way better than them right now. Maybe Jets fans would be happy with a playoff appearance and a one-and-done exit. It has been 14 years since they made it at all.
But even for that, the Jets would have to be a different team than they've shown the past six weeks. Adams doesn't fix all the issues with penalties, he won't make the offensive line better and he won't help kicker Greg Zuerlein out of his slump either.
Why didn't the Raiders trade Adams before?
The Raiders side makes more sense. They aren't paying any more of Adams' salary in the trade. That makes the dead cap hits a manageable $13.67 million this year and $15.7 million in 2025 according to Spotrac. It's a significant cap savings for a player that had a $44.1 million cap hit coming next season.
But the whole situation has been odd. The Raiders don't have many stars and Adams was a player who was front and center late last season in getting Antonio Pierce the permanent head coaching job. If the Raiders did want to move away from one of their only marketable stars just two years after a major trade for him, why not do it in March when his value would have been higher? Switching lanes three games into the season, when the Raiders aren't any better or worse than expected, makes it seem like Las Vegas doesn't have a plan. Getting a conditional third for Adams is fine but it's not transformative. At least there's more salary cap room for next season, although probably no enticing quarterback to spend it on.
Maybe it works out for everyone. The Jets make the playoffs with a new-look offense. The Raiders wisely use all that extra salary-cap space next offseason to take a big step in their never-ending rebuild. But at the moment, it's hard to find a clear winner to Tuesday's big trade.

New York, USA, Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prostate Cancer Clinical Trial Pipeline Experiences Momentum: DelveInsight Estimates a Diverse Pipeline Comprising 150+ Companies Working in the Domain
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men worldwide, especially in aging populations.

Prostate Cancer Overview
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, primarily affecting the prostate gland, a small gland that produces seminal fluid. While the exact cause of prostate cancer is unknown, certain risk factors increase the likelihood of developing the disease. These include age (typically over 50), family history, genetic mutations (such as BRCA1/BRCA2), race (African American men are at higher risk), and lifestyle factors such as diet and obesity.
Symptoms of prostate cancer can vary and may not appear until the later stages. Common signs include difficulty urinating, weak urine flow, frequent urination (especially at night), blood in urine or semen, erectile dysfunction, and pain in the lower back, hips, or pelvis. However, many men with early-stage prostate cancer experience no symptoms at all, which is why screening is vital.
Prostate cancer diagnosis typically begins with a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test and a digital rectal exam (DRE). If abnormalities are detected, further tests like a biopsy, MRI, or ultrasound may be conducted to confirm the presence and stage of cancer.
Prostate cancer treatment options depend on the stage and aggressiveness of the cancer. For early-stage prostate cancer, active surveillance may be recommended. Other treatments include surgery (prostatectomy), radiation therapy, hormone therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. In recent years, oncolytic virus therapy has emerged as a promising treatment for advanced prostate cancer, utilizing genetically engineered viruses to selectively target and destroy cancer cells.
Currently approved drugs for metastatic prostate cancer include XTANDI by Astellas/Pfizer and ZYTIGA by Janssen, both available for over a decade. Despite the introduction of ZYTIGA generics in the US in 2019 and in the EU since late 2022, causing a significant revenue drop, particularly in the US, ZYTIGA is still being actively studied in combination with emerging therapies, boosting its use with the compound abiraterone acetate.
In 2019, Janssen expanded its portfolio with ERLEADA for mHSPC, following its 2018 approval for nmCRPC. Bayer’s NUBEQA has also rapidly gained momentum, becoming a key competitor. PARP inhibitors have been making strides for patients with HRR gene mutations (BRCA1/2). AstraZeneca’s LYNPARZA was introduced for first-line prostate cancer treatment, while Pharma& Schweiz’s RUBRACA became available for 3L mCRPC patients in 2020. Additionally, in 2023, Pfizer’s TALZENNA, Janssen’s AKEEGA, and AstraZeneca/Merck’s LYNPARZA were approved for first-line use. Myovant Sciences’ ORGOVYX and Sanofi’s JEVTANA have also been approved in the US for treating mCRPC.
In 2022, Novartis' radioligand therapy, PLUVICTO, was approved for mCRPC treatment, resulting in higher-than-expected revenue in the third-line mCRPC segment. Novartis now plans to expand its presence into earlier-line mCRPC by 2024 and mHSPC by 2025 within the US market.

While Pittsburgh Steelers rookie WR Roman Wilson made his season debut in Week 6 against the Las Vegas Raiders, he only played five snaps and didn’t receive a target in the team’s 32-13 win. During his weekly press conference, Mike Tomlin was asked how he would assess Wilson’s NFL debut after just getting limited snaps.
“That’s how I would assess it, limited,” Tomlin said Tuesday via the team’s YouTube channel.
He explained it’s a different discussion when it comes to Roman Wilson being healthy and ready to play versus Russell Wilson since the former has “no background.”
“It is a process, his readiness. Not only first, his health, but then we’re also talking about a guy who’s getting on a moving train with no background. It’s a significantly different discussion than the one we were having regarding Russ. He’s just got to continue to come to work every day, and when the door is left ajar, he’s got to step through it.
Even though Pittsburgh’s depth is thin at wide receiver, Roman Wilson is still a rookie who didn’t play at all in the preseason after getting injured the first day the pads came on in training camp. That cost him some valuable development time, and that’s one reason why it’s been such a slow process getting him ready to contribute.
As a third-round pick, the expectations for Roman Wilson coming into the season were at least that he would be a contributor and one of Pittsburgh’s main receiving options, but obviously that has yet to come to fruition. Pittsburgh hasn’t gotten a lot of production from its receiver room, so at some point, it would make sense if he played a bigger role down the line, but Tomlin clearly doesn’t feel as if he’s ready to be a major contributor yet at this point.
It would make sense if Wilson’s role increased after the bye week, as he’s been practicing in full for multiple weeks now and was able to see the field on Sunday. With two more games before the bye, the expectation should be that Wilson’s role will continue to be limited, but an extra week of work to get up to speed could lead things to increase come Week 10.
It’s understandable that the Steelers are being cautious with Roman Wilson, as they are with a lot of their rookies, and especially with him coming off an injury. But if the receiver room continues to produce little outside of George Pickens, it would make sense for the Steelers to try to get him more involved to give the offense another option.

Chicago PD season 12 episode 4 spoilers: Voight’s mental state
As we get prepared to see Chicago PD season 12 episode 4 on NBC next week, there are a handful of important things to note. “The After” is a chance to dive more into Voight’s past — in particular, a case that he was working on not long after losing his wife.
Also, remember for a moment here that Voight is also still reeling from an experience that nearly killed him at the end of last season, and that is in addition to the departure of Hailey Upton from the team. This is something that he may be spending some time trying to work through; we certainly do not believe that the show will be doing a lot to rush any of this grieving process along.
So where is Voight at mentally entering this week’s episode? Speaking to TV Insider, Jason Beghe notes that his character is “calming down a little” following the events of the finale, but there will be some lingering effects:
… That experience changed him, and why try to define what that is? We don’t want to limit it. Let’s see. But is it a coincidence that he has this level of vulnerability and exposure, or is there a connection, a relationship between the two, and what’s next and where will he go?
One of our biggest questions is who Voight will look towards for some sort of emotional support, if anyone. The longer that he chooses to bottle things up, the more difficult that could be for him … and the more problems that this could cause when it comes to the job. You need to be on your A-game in Intelligence whenever you can; we have seen enough of the show over the years to know what happens often as a result if you aren’t.

NEW DELHI: The latest in a string of hoax bomb threats made to Indian airlines forced an Air India plane to make an emergency landing in Canada, the airline said Tuesday.
The passenger aircraft, flying from India's capital New Delhi to Chicago, was the subject of "a security threat posted online" and as a "precautionary measure" has landed at Iqaluit Airport in Canada, Air India said.
The aircraft and passengers were being "re-screened as per the laid down security protocol," the company said.
"Air India notes that it, and other local airlines, have been subject to a number of threats in recent days," it added.
"Though all have subsequently been found to be hoaxes, as a responsible airline operator all threats are taken seriously."
An Air India flight from Mumbai to New York was diverted mid-air to New Delhi after a false alert on Monday.
Similar hoaxes were received by low-cost operator IndiGo regarding two flights that were to take off -- to Jeddah in Saudi Arabia, and to Muscat in Oman.

Warm Springs Tribes have been engaged in restoration efforts on the Deschutes River for decades, not only to ensure clean, safe drinking water for the Reservation but also to improve fishery health.
On September 26, the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon (Warm Springs Tribes) shared the results of a new report that tested comprehensive water quality on the lower Deschutes River.
Report highlights:
- The Indian Health Service tested water quality to inform design of a new treatment facility for Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs’ drinking water supply
- Report finds high clarity, low turbidity, and no “forever chemicals” in water downstream from the Reregulating Dam
- Findings ensure Warm Springs Tribes can design new water treatment facility within existing budget
Repeated water sampling consistently showed that:
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances — also known as PFAS, or “forever chemicals” — were not present in the Deschutes River water source. 6PPD-Quinone, a tire rubber-derived organic chemical that the EPA notes is toxic to fish, was also not detected.
The water source has low turbidity and high clarity, which correlates with fish health, and is easy to treat for all other water quality conditions under EPA regulations.
Xuehua Bai, Principal of Bai Engineers who conducted the study and prepared the report on behalf of Indian Health Services (IHS), noted during a presentation to Warm Springs Tribal Council that the water quality rivals some of the best in the nation.
WHY:
The water testing serves to inform Warm Springs Tribal Council’s evaluation of the design of a new treatment facility for the community drinking water supply.
With evidence of such high-quality source water, Tribal Council was able to select a design for the new facility that is unlikely to require additional treatment components. As such, the project cost is estimated to be within existing available funding sources from the IHS and the EPA that are earmarked specifically for this project.
As Warm Springs Tribes plan a new water treatment facility for the future, they are also rehabilitating the current treatment facility for the present. The current rehabilitation will install more modern technology to ensure that drinking water can continue to be safe until the new facility is complete.
IMPACT:
This report speaks to the progress that Warm Springs Tribes, in collaboration with so many others, continue to make in improving overall water quality on the lower Deschutes River.
Warm Springs Tribes have been engaged in restoration efforts on the Deschutes River for decades, not only to ensure clean, safe drinking water for the Reservation but also to improve fishery health. The report’s findings are positive signs for both objectives, as the lack of PFAS points to clean drinking water, the absence of 6PPD-Quinone supports fish health, and the water’s low turbidity and high clarity also correlates with fish health.
WHERE:
The IHS tested water quality at Warm Springs Tribes’ Dry Creek Water Treatment Plant, located on the Deschutes River at River Mile 95, downstream from the Pelton Round Butte hydroelectric project’s Reregulating Dam.
WHEN:
The IHS’ two most recent comprehensive raw water sample collections and analyses occurred December 17, 2023 and May 29, 2024. Results were presented to the Warm Springs Tribal Council on July 16, 2024.
The design process for the new water treatment plant is ongoing. It is expected to be 30 percent complete by the end of September 2024.
QUOTES:
Jonathan W. Smith, Sr., Chairman, Tribal Council for the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon, said:
“Water is the first of the gifts that the Creator gave us, and it is our life’s work to protect and restore this sacred natural resource. We’re pleased by moments that affirm the effectiveness of our traditional and scientific approach to resource management. Our Tribal Council has also expressed collective relief that we can proceed with building our new water treatment plant within the planned budget.”
ABOUT:
The Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon is a federally-recognized, sovereign Indian tribe occupying the Warm Springs Reservation, which was reserved for its exclusive benefit by an 1855 Treaty with the United States. The Reservation stretches from the summit of the Cascade Mountains to the cliffs of the Deschutes River in Central Oregon.

I keep a sesame biscotto in my freezer that is now going on 14 years old. It was from the last batch made by my Nonna, and somewhere in my mind if that petrified rock of lemon-scented flour, oil, sugar and eggs still exists, so does she.
On my mother’s side of the family, we are Sephardic Jews from Sicily. We were there 2,000 years ago when Greeks brought honey and almonds to the island. We were there during the Golden Age of Islam when the Arabs brought over sugar, flower essences and the tradition of ices and ice creams; we were there when a brief French occupation brought with it bigné and lulú, and when Sicily became part of the Spanish Empire, chocolate made its way back from Mexico with the conquistadors and into Sicilian sweets.
And then they kicked us out.
King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella issued The Alhambra Decree on March 31, 1492, ordering the expulsion of practicing Jews from the Crowns of Castile and Aragon and their territories by July 31 of that year. Three days later, they sent Columbus off to discover a shortcut to India.
From Sicily we fled to the Ottoman Empire, taking our language, religion and sweets with us.
That was half a millennium ago, and the memories that remain of the old, old country are sense memories, mostly: the aroma of anise-scented yeast breads embedded with a hard-boiled egg, crunchy breakfast biscotti showered in sesame seeds, quince and rose spoon sweets, kumquats sewn together with thread and candied, and a wheatberry porridge made by whoever spotted a baby’s first tooth. Sugar makes Sicilians happy, and it’s a sticky memory indeed.
Apart from the sweets, the language and familial grudges that will be taken to the grave, our Sicilian-ness was eclipsed by the past few centuries in the former Ottoman Empire. Like so many people exiled from their homeland, I yearned for some sort of ancestral connection. I found it in Sicily.
It was an article about a pastry cook that drew me there. This woman, Maria Grammatico, now in her 80s, had spent her childhood in a convent in the medieval town of Erice. There, the nuns taught her the ancient art of pastry making. She ran a shop in the same town and lamented that few young people wanted to learn the art of pastry making and feared it would soon be lost.
So did I. Although I received formal training as a pastry chef, the most precious culinary knowledge I possess is what I learned from my Nonna, who learned it from hers. That’s when I knew I had to go to Sicily and meet this woman, and maybe even learn a thing or two from her.
I had spent time in other parts of Italy (there was that time before the internet when I spent an entire month with a family I thought was mine but found out later weren’t even a little bit related) but never ventured farther south than Naples. This time, landing in Catania, it smelled like coffee, cigarettes and Chanel No. 5 – in other words: home. Turns out you can take the girl out of Sicily, but it takes more than a few centuries to take Sicily out of the girl.
I wrote this book, Sicily, My Sweet, as a personal love letter to Sicily and the sweet things from her kitchen. I gathered recipes from friends, family, friends-of-friends, in-laws, (thank you, Provie!), and from pasticciere, casalinghe, farmers, nuns, shopkeepers and anyone else willing to share their secrets with me. Many recipes I developed myself, inspired by the flavors of this bewitching and magical island.
I wish you tante belle cose – many beautiful things.

Donald Trump lifts the lid on his failed $1billion bid to buy the Buffalo Bills
- READ MORE: Josh Allen inspires Buffalo Bills to victory over the New York Jets
- READ MORE: Jerry Jones in furious rant as he is grilled on Cowboys' struggles
Donald Trump has opened up on his attempt to become an NFL owner when he bid for the Buffalo Bills back in 2014.
The Republican presidential hopeful offered $1billion cash for the Bills a decade ago, following the death of founder and Hall of Fame owner Ralph Wilson.
Trump was one of three known finalists in the battle to take charge of Buffalo. A group led by rock star Jon Bon Jovi also showed interest in acquiring the team.
In the end, however, the owners of the NHL’s Buffalo Sabres, Terry and Kim Pegula, won the bidding with $1.4bn offer.
Ten years on, Trump is on the campaign trial as he eyes a return to the White House in next month's election against Kamala Harris.
Donald Trump has opened up on his attempt to buy the Buffalo Bills back in 2014
Terry and Kim Pegula, parents of tennis star Jess Pegula, won the bidding with $1.4billion offer
The 78-year-old appeared on popular YouTube show 'Bussin' With The Boys' and outlined his botched move into football.
When asked how close he came to closing the deal, Trump said: 'Not close. The owner who got it is a very good man. I think he's done a great job. Well, he made a great pick - he picked a great quarterback in Josh (Allen).'
The Republican nominee added: 'I bid $1bn dollars and I put up a letter of credit. I thought I might get it because it was in Buffalo which was having some troubles... and (Pegula) bid $1.4bn - so it's $400m more.
'I don't think it was a very serious run but I gave them a guarantee of a $1bn so that's always serious, right?'
'He made a great pick - he picked a great quarterback in Josh (Allen),' Trump said of Pegula
Trump paid tribute to Terry Pegula - father of tennis star Jess Pegula - for his achievements with the Bills, including selecting Josh Allen in the 2018 draft after other teams passed on the quarterback.
Allen was expected to be the No 1 overall pick until a series of offensive social media posts from his past resurfaced. The Bills nevertheless selected the quarterback with the seventh overall pick.
'He's a very nice guy. I think he's terrific,' Trump said of Pegula. 'I think he's done a great job with that team.'
The 78-year-old added on Allen: 'He's an exciting quarterback but he's a great one... the Bills picked him and (Pegula) took him round on apology tour for a day and he ends up with one of the best quarterbacks.'

The following is an excerpt from the latest edition of Yahoo's fantasy football newsletter, Get to the Points! If you like what you see, you can subscribe for free here.
Fantasy managers will spend the next 24 hours working the waiver wire, but that's obviously just part of the process. In most instances, you also have to make a corresponding drop. And we'd like to help you make those difficult cuts.
Most fantasy advice will never be one size fits all, and that's especially true for a cut list. You need to apply this to your situation and the context of your league. A nifty stash in one league could be a see-you-later player in a different room. And remember, if you never make a regretful cut during the season, you're probably playing far too conservatively.
Isaiah Likely, TE, Ravens (59% rostered)
I have a few fantasy shares of Likely, and I'm not eager to give them up. But we have to accept that he's merely a contingency-value stash at tight end these days, not someone you can play. He has just nine catches since the blowup season opener. Unless Mark Andrews gets hurt, Likely can't be trusted in lineups. And in the teeth of bye season, that might make him a drop now.
Dontayvion Wicks, WR, Packers (47% rostered)
You used good process when you added Wicks, but he didn't come through in his last two opportunities, and now the receiving room is healing up. The Packers also have two talented backs and a tight end of note. Wicks is also dealing with a shoulder injury, giving him week-to-week status. In most formats, it's not worth the wait.
Trey Sermon, RB, Colts (48% rostered)
Jonathan Taylor probably isn't long off, even if he can't play in Week 7. But Sermon has a more immediate issue — Tyler Goodson is clearly outplaying him. Surely this isn't lost on the Indianapolis coaching staff.
Antonio Gibson, RB, Patriots (49% rostered)
He flopped in his starting opportunity last week (13 carries, 19 yards) and the Patriots will go back to Rhamondre Stevenson when healthy, no matter how much he fumbles. And some of New England's rushing production will also be distributed to athletic and resourceful rookie QB Drake Maye.
Jerome Ford, RB, Browns (73% rostered)
He's dealing with a balky hamstring, the offense is shipwrecked by poor blocking and QB play, and Nick Chubb might return this week. Ford was a fantasy dud most of the year, and while much of it wasn't his fault, he has a capped ceiling.
Daniel Jones, QB, Giants (21% rostered)
He made sense as a Week 6 sleeper, even though his home/road splits are starting to become too large to ignore (Jones, for some reason, plays poorly in New Jersey). It's a home date against Philly this week, and then a trip to Pittsburgh. Even with Malik Nabers expected back, we hope you have a better QB option to navigate the bye weeks.

Last week was quite an interesting one for the Pittsburgh Steelers and WR George Pickens, who played the third-most receiver snaps in Week 5 against the Dallas Cowboys and faced two fines, one for wearing eye black that said “Open Fucking Always” and another for throwing down Cowboys CB Jourdan Lewis by the facemask. Pickens downplayed the eye black in his lone media session last week, and there was no drama in Week 6, a game where Pickens played the most snaps out of any receiver.
On Tuesday, Pickens went on FS1’s The Facility, and he addressed what he feels is the biggest misconception about him.
“I know the media and the world want to paint me out as a selfish guy, but really I’m the most unselfish guy in the world,” Pickens said.
He followed up a little bit by talking about Davante Adams and why he believed Adams wanted out of Las Vegas, and Pickens said he believed it stemmed from Adams not getting the ball and the Raiders not winning. Pickens made it clear that winning is one of the only things he cares about and said he is happy playing with either Russell Wilson or Justin Fields.
“They both engineer victory. Really, me coming from Georgia, that’s one of the biggest things I only care about, to be honest with you. Winning,” he said.
That aligns with what Fields said about George Pickens last week, with his comments essentially saying that Pickens only gets frustrated when he feels he’s not contributing to the team winning.
Receivers, especially ones as talented as Pickens, are going to want the football. It’s the nature of being a No. 1 receiver in the NFL, and Pickens isn’t alone in feeling that maybe if he had the ball more, the team would win more. It’s a fine thought process to have, and with Pickens, I do believe that he isn’t intentionally being a bad teammate or a me-first guy.
But there’s no doubt that he has some growing up to do. He’s reportedly been late to work multiple times, which isn’t acceptable, and he has to manage his emotions better. Even if he’s just upset about the team’s performance, slamming his helmet on the sidelines and acting out by throwing down Lewis and seemingly having a bad attitude when things aren’t going well isn’t the way to go about it.
And when the opportunity to make a play comes, Pickens needs to make it. He’s had multiple drops the last two weeks, and for a receiving corps that’s largely pedestrian, the Steelers can’t have their top receiver not make a play when he’s targeted and has a chance to catch the ball.
So, both things can be true. George Pickens isn’t selfish, but he needs to show and not tell by managing his emotions better when things aren’t going his or the team’s way. Hopefully, the rest of the season can be drama-free, and Pickens can really emerge as a top receiver, and we can talk about his play more than his attitude.

Agatha All Along episode 6 spoilers: Joe Locke on Billy’s story
As we prepare to see Agatha All Along episode 6 on Disney+, it does feel clear that major changes are about to come into play.
After all, consider the following for a moment here — Teen is now officially confirmed to be Billy, otherwise known as Wanda’s son or Wiccan within the Young Avengers. It may be dangerous to chart exactly what the producers have planned for this character down the road, but it does feel pretty easy to note that they are at least cooking up something and are going to go hard into embracing it now. After all, why wait now that the secret is out? We’re already on the Witches’ Road and moving forward, things are about to become so much more chaotic.
In speaking on all of this further in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, here is at least some of what star Joe Locke had to say:
“The show starts getting real … The show starts with Billy being very much the familiar, the secondary to all the witches. Now we know he is also a witch, and that changes things. Also, we now know that he has the ability to cause harm to them. Therefore, he is now the most powerful person on the Road. What does that change in the dynamic of the group and how does that change the future of those relationships?”
It is also worth noting that Locke says in this interview that episode 6 is when some answers are going to start to become more clear about his character’s motives, whether it be what he’s gone through or also why he is on the Road in the first place. We know that this is not just about power, so is there something more personal at the core of this story?

Be sure to share right now in the attached comments! Once you do just that, remember to keep coming back for some additional updates.

Jerry Jones celebrated his 82nd birthday on Sunday by watching his Dallas Cowboys get dismantled by the Detroit Lions 47-9. Two days later, he directed his frustrations towards a pair of hosts on the team's flagship radio station.
Following an offseason that saw the Cowboys spend little on free agents and save big money spending on their own star players —CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott — Jones did not take fondly to being asked why he wasn't more active on improving the roster.
Jones' annoyance with the line of questioning had him appearing to threaten the jobs of 105.3 FM's Shan Shariff, R.J. Choppy and Bobby Belt.
This is not your job. Your job isn't to let me go over all the reasons that I did something and I'm sorry that I did it," Jones said. That's not your job. I'll get somebody else to ask these questions. I'm not kidding. You're not going to figure out what the team is doing right or wrong. If you are, or any five or 10 like you, you need to come to this [NFL owner's] meeting I'm going to today with 32 teams here, you're geniuses.
"Ya'll really think you're gonna sit here with a microphone and tell me all of the things that I've done wrong without going all over the rights? Listen, we both know we're talking to a lot of great fans and a lot of great listeners. And I'm very sorry for what happened out there Sunday. I'm sick about what happened Sunday.
"One of the stupidest things I've ever done, that anybody had ever analyzed is buy the Cowboys. It was an idiot that did that. So idiot things can turn into good decisions. Smart things can turn into bad decisions. The facts are that when you make one, you don't really know if it's going to be good or not at the time. You want some conversation this morning, you're getting it."
The Cowboys have their bye in Week 7 before returning to face the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night in Week 8. There was already going to be a heavy discussion about the construction of Dallas' roster considering their mediocre start and that the NFL's highest-paid quarterback is tied for second in interceptions (6), has an 85.4% passer rating and has been sacked the fifth-most times (16) — not to mention they've lost four consecutive games at AT&T Stadium.
And now the Cowboys will gobble up headlines during an off week — which makes you think Jones knew what he was doing here. He's always been a salesman.
Jones said after Sunday's loss he was happy the bye week was coming as it will give them time to fix the numerous areas that need improvement. Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence will likely remain out through the bye, further hobbling a 25th-ranked defense that has given up the sixth-most rushing yards and allowed the third-most points through six weeks.
As for change? That's not coming for any part of the Cowboys' roster. Head coach Mike McCarthy's job is safe as Jones reiterated Tuesday by saying in-season coaching changes are "usually ineffective. They just aren't good."
On the field, Jones trusts in his players — his "outstanding personnel" as he put it — to turn around an uninspired start to the season.
"Well, first of all, where you going to go to get any players? Seriously? Where are you going to go to get any players for next week against San Francisco?" Jones said. "Now, No. 1, I've seen these players. I've seen every single one of them execute like you want the plays to be executed and do their job within the role. That didn't happen the other day, and we paid the consequences for it. But I've seen the players do it."

(MENAFN- PR Newswire)
OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- With the increasing severity and frequency of rain storms around the country, rain insurance has become a staple for many
fair and festival organizers , golf tournament organizers , and concert promoters and venues . These businesses are turning to Vortex Weather Insurance to provide cover for their outdoor events. But Vortex's parametric protection extends far beyond these industries.
From the pickleball court to the racetrack to the skies, event organizers are discovering the value of parametric weather insurance to help protect their events.
Pickleball events often face weather-related challenges, which is why Vortex recently joined pickleball event organizers and enthusiasts at PickleCon , a multi-day event in Kansas City, Mo., about all things pickleball. With so many pickleball events occurring outdoors, event organizers were excited to learn about the benefits of parametric rain insurance to protect their tournament investment.
"People jumped on it for big events," said Eric Anderson , Director of National Sales. "The pickleball club owners and event organizers are excited to use our rain insurance to protect expected revenue from potential loss from rain and see it as a perfect fit."
Pickleball may be the fastest-growing sport in the United States, but when it comes to going fast, auto racing wins the prize. While most people have heard of the Indianapolis 500 and the Daytona 500, it's the small local tracks where most drivers get their start. And an unusually wet season can make or break a local track.
Vortex's parametric weather insurance can help protect an entire season or a specific large-gate event. With payouts automatically triggered by the rain and time parameters set within the policy, a rainout doesn't have to become a budget crisis, allowing local tracks to continue to be a breeding ground for the next generation of racing superstars.
But Vortex weather insurance doesn't just insure events on the ground. Vortex is taking to the sky, insuring air shows that can be grounded by weather. Vortex's parametric weather insurance uses hyperlocal rainfall totals, often from the airport where the air show is taking place, to trigger its payouts, which means a cancellation due to weather no longer has to mean a loss of revenue for air show organizers.
"Often, big name flying teams like the Blue Angels have to be booked two years out," said Andy Klaus, Vice President of Business Development. "Being able to protect that investment in the case of rain can mean the difference between an event returning the next year or not."
No matter the event, parametric weather insurance helps protect event organizers' investments with quick payouts when the policy's parameters are met and include no restrictions on how the payout funds can be used . Event organizers don't have to prove any damage occurred. If the rainfall, date, hours and location targets are hit, then the policy pays.
Event organizers in the pickleball, racing and air show industries are quickly learning what fair and festival organizers have already discovered. Vortex's parametric weather insurance can help protect their events from losses due to weather, which helps keep these events returning year after year.
ABOUT VORTEX WEATHER INSURANCE:
Vortex Weather Insurance (dba Vortex Insurance Agency, LLC) is a data-driven weather risk insurtech that offers businesses a variety of affordable parametric weather index insurance products, including commercial supplemental hurricane insurance. Since 2008, Vortex has provided insurance for outdoor events ranging from fairs and festivals, motorsports, youth sports, pickleball events, professional golf tournaments and golf clubs to outdoor theaters and concerts, haunted houses and holiday light events. Insurance is underwritten by Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance USA, Inc. (MSU), admitted in all 50 states and has an AM Best rating of A+ (Superior). Weather or not ... Vortex it.

For All Mankind season 5 premiere date: October 2024 update
With us basically now at the midway point of October, is there something more that can be said regarding For All Mankind season 5?
The first thing that we should say here is honestly something rather remarkable and rare for a TV show so far in its run: We are just as excited now for what’s next as we were in the earlier seasons. Because of the time jumps that tend to exist here every single season, the series has a luxury of being able to start off more or less fresh and never have to repeat anything.
What we know about season 5 is that we are moving further ahead in time and at this point, the operation on the Goldilocks asteroid is underway. This is something that Ed desperately wanted to be attached to Happy Valley and in that sense, mission accomplished! Yet, how commercialized has the mining become, and are there space programs currently venturing out to outer worlds? There are so many fascinating questions to consider here!
Unfortunately, we do not think that we are going to be getting news on a premiere date for season 5 anytime soon! Our sentiment is that it could be announced either at the end of the year or within the first few months of 2025. We hope that the show will actually on Apple TV+ within the spring or summer, but it will probably come down mostly to whatever it is that the streaming service wants.
For now, it remains to be seen whether this is the final season; or, if there is something more coming down the road. We do at least think that there’s a chance for more, as the producers certainly have more of a long-term plan.
What do you most want to see when it comes to For All Mankind season 5 over at Apple TV+?
Be sure to share right now in the attached comments! Once you do just that, remember to come back for some other updates.

Russell Wilson went from pole position to pit lane, tuning up his calf injury the past six weeks. Sunday night against the New York Jets, he appears to be back leading the pack at the green flag. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero on X, Wilson will be taking first-team reps this week and should be in line to make his first start in the Black and Gold.
If this holds up, he will replace Justin Fields, who has started the first six games of the season and led Pittsburgh to a 4-2 record.
Wilson has remained the team’s starting quarterback on its depth chart throughout the first six weeks despite not playing a single snap. Initially named the team’s starting quarterback one week before the regular season began, Wilson aggravated a training camp calf injury the Thursday before he was slated to face the Atlanta Falcons in Week 1. That gave Fields the nod to start, a story that continued the first five weeks while Wilson rehabbed and was deemed not fully healthy by the team. He spent the first five weeks inactive and the team’s emergency third-string quarterback.
That changed going into Week 6. Wilson practiced fully all week long and was no longer given an injury designation by week’s end. However, Tomlin cited rust as a factor and stuck with Fields for the Steelers’ Week 6 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, Wilson serving as the No. 2 quarterback.
Now, Wilson is the starter. He’ll take his first snaps in primetime action against the Jets’ talented defense, a top-10 unit in the league. New York is coming off a short week following a Monday night 23-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
Wilson started 15 games for the Denver Broncos last season, throwing for over 3,000 yards, 26 touchdowns, and eight interceptions. He was benched by the team late in the season before being released on the first day of the new league year. Thanks to Denver being on the hook for his salary, he signed a one-year deal for the minimum to join the Steelers. Wilson is set to become a free agent this offseason.

Understanding how fault is determined in car accidents is essential for both victims seeking compensation and responsible drivers interested in minimizing their own risks on the road.
Car accidents can be extremely terrifying and devastating experiences, often leading to physical injuries, emotional trauma, and massive financial burdens. Determining who is at fault in these accidents is a crucial aspect of legal proceedings and insurance claims. It helps allocate responsibility and provides some peace of mind for victims seeking compensation. In this article, we will explore the concept of fault in car accidents from various legal perspectives.
1. Comparative Fault System
In many jurisdictions, the comparative fault system is used to determine liability in car accidents. This system takes into account the actions or negligence of all the parties involved in the incident before assigning fault. If multiple parties are found responsible, their degree of fault is assessed to determine the amount of damages they should pay. Consulting a car accident lawyer in Philadelphia can help understand the intricacies of this system.
2. Negligence vs Recklessness
When discussing fault in car accidents, it’s important to understand the distinction between negligence and recklessness. Negligence refers to a failure to exercise reasonable care while driving, which results in an accident. On the other hand, recklessness involves a conscious decision to disregard safety rules or engage in dangerous behavior while driving.
3. Rear-End Collisions
Rear-end collisions are one of the most common types of car accidents. In these cases, there is generally an assumption that the driver who rear-ended another vehicle is at fault as they did not maintain a safe following distance or failed to stop in time. However, there are instances where the driver who was rear-ended may share some portion of the responsibility if their actions contributed to the collision.
4. Left-Turn Accidents
Left-turn accidents often present complex situations when determining fault. While making a left turn, drivers must yield to oncoming traffic unless they have a protected green arrow signal indicating otherwise. If a driver fails to yield and collides with another vehicle going straight or making a right turn, they may be found at fault for not exercising caution.
5. Disputed Liability Cases
Some car accidents result in disputed liability cases, where the parties involved have differing accounts of what happened. These situations can create difficulties when trying to establish fault. In such cases, evidence such as witness statements, police reports, surveillance footage, or expert testimony may be crucial in determining who is at fault.
6. Contributory Negligence
While most states utilize comparative fault systems, there are still some jurisdictions that follow a contributory negligence rule. Under this rule, if a plaintiff is found even slightly negligent for the accident, they may be barred from recovering any damages. This system places a greater burden on accident victims to prove their innocence and sporadically denies them compensation.
7. Expert Witness Testimony
In complex car accident cases where liability is disputed or certain technical aspects need clarification, expert witness testimony can play a pivotal role in determining fault. Accident reconstruction experts might analyze factors such as vehicle speeds, braking distances, road conditions, weather conditions, and driver behavior to provide an unbiased opinion on fault.
8. No-Fault Insurance System
In some states and countries with no-fault insurance systems, the concept of fault is less relevant concerning insurance claims. Regardless of who caused the accident, each party’s insurance company pays for their respective damages up to specific limits defined by law. This system aims to expedite the process and reduce costly legal battles over liability.
Conclusion
Understanding how fault is determined in car accidents is essential for both victims seeking compensation and responsible drivers interested in minimizing their own risks on the road. While each case involves unique circumstances and applicable laws differ across jurisdictions, knowledge of legal perspectives can help individuals navigate through complex situations more confidently. Knowing your rights and responsibilities in car accident disputes can make a significant difference when advocating for yourself after an unfortunate event occurs on the roads.

SEOUL: A member of chart-topping K-pop group NewJeans tearfully testified to South Korean lawmakers Tuesday as part of an enquiry into workplace harassment, amid a boardroom drama over her super producer.
In recent years, South Korea's K-pop industry has become a global juggernaut powered by the success of groups like BTS, but domestically it is known for imposing strict standards and controls on fledgling stars.
Rising K-pop idols are expected to adhere to their powerful agency's behaviour and appearance guidelines, with many stars describing receiving extreme backlash from fans over perceived mistakes in their personal lives, for example dating.
Hanni, 20, who is Vietnamese-Australian, testified that she overheard a manager of another idol group linked to her parent agency instructing members of another girl group to spurn her.
"I saw a manager along with three members from another group and said hello... When the manager saw me, she told the members to 'ignore her as if you didn't see her,'" she told lawmakers.
"I could not understand why I had to go through this."
The alleged event took place amid a dispute between NewJeans' producer and mastermind, Min Hee-jin, and HYBE, the South Korean agency that manages BTS, after HYBE filed a legal complaint against Min for breach of trust in business.
Min, who headed the HYBE subsidiary ADOR which manages NewJeans, was replaced as ADOR's president in August amid the boardroom conflict.
During the livestream in which Hanni had raised the harassment claim, all NewJeans' members demanded that Min be reinstated as ADOR's CEO.
Multiple court cases on the issue are ongoing.
Unfair treatment
Hanni acknowledged that the ongoing dispute between the parent company and Min was related to the bullying she had experienced.
"It couldn't have been unrelated. But they didn't need to bring that issue into the workplace," she said.
"I felt I couldn't just sit idly by while such behaviour continued to repeat," she added, noting NewJeans members had been subjected to other unfair treatment by HYBE, such as discrediting their performance in Japan.
ADOR CEO Kim Ju-young, who succeeded Min, told lawmakers that while she personally believed Hanni's account, no CCTV evidence was available to support it.
Hanni's testimony was given to South Korean lawmakers who serve on the parliamentary committee overseeing workplace conditions and safety, which is not an investigative body.
ADOR's Min, who joined the industry in the early 2000s, is widely regarded as one of the most successful producers in the K-pop scene, having worked with stars such as Girls' Generation, EXO and SHINee, among others.
NewJeans, produced by Min, is among HYBE's most successful K-pop groups, alongside BTS, which is currently on a hiatus as some members perform South Korea's mandatory military service.
BTS member J Hope is scheduled to finish his military service this Thursday.
"I am grateful for the attention people have shown to this issue. I hope my fellow colleagues and (K-pop) trainees won't have to experience such concerns," Hanni said tearfully in her closing remarks.

The culprits of this extremely reprehensible and unforgivable incident will not be spared at any cost," he added.
Mishra was shot dead after torture and about half a dozen people were injured in stone pelting and firing as communal violence broke out in the Maharajganj area of Bahraich near Rahua Mansoor village in Mahsi tehsil during a Durga idol immersion procession in Bahraich on Sunday.

Nine Perfect Strangers season 2 premiere date: October update
With us now in the midway point of October 2024, our enthusiasm for a Nine Perfect Strangers season 2 is starting to increase. How can it not?
Well, the first thing that we should note (or remind you, if you’ve already heard) is that production on the new chapter of Nicole Kidman drama is complete. The series is shifting its setting over to the Swiss Alps, and there are going to be a number of new cast members presumably joining Masha … at a retreat? Are we going in this direction again? Much of the season has been shrouded in mystery, though Hulu did share the tiniest of teases during a recent sizzle reel.
Because Nine Perfect Strangers was in fact featured in that reel, we tend to think there’s a chance that more insight could be coming out for it soon. It is really just a matter of when the streamer wants to get the news out there. Personally, we do think there’s a slight chance more news will come out this month and if not then, at some point in November. There is still a faint possibility the show could return this year in theory, but early 2025 feels more likely just based on how most shows tend to get premiere-date announcements at least two months in advance.
No matter when a premiere date is revealed, we do tend to think that Hulu will have their work cut out for them trying to generate some excitement about the new chapter of the story. Just remember for a moment here that season 1 aired a pretty long time ago, which means that you probably need to remind people of what happened … even if we do have a largely new story with different characters.

Just before the start of Mike Tomlin’s press conference, NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero reported that Russell Wilson was “in line” to start against the New York Jets in Week 7. Tomlin spoke at length about the quarterback situation in his press conference. Though he offered less definitive language than Pelissero, it is much different than what he has said in recent weeks.
“At the quarterback position, like I said last week, we were scheduled for Russ [Wilson] to work in totality. He did that,” Tomlin said via video on the Steelers’ YouTube channel. “Over the course of the week, I got comfortable with his ability to display his health, now it’s about knocking the rust off. He did some of that last week. He is in consideration this week. We’ll see where that leads us. Both guys at the quarterback position are scheduled to work tomorrow, and we’ll just walk it day by day all geared towards putting ourselves in best position to win the football game.”
He said that an ultimate decision will come “closer to game time,” but it sure sounds like Wilson will get his first start in the Black and Gold.
This obviously comes at the expense of Justin Fields, who has led the team to a 4-2 start, including three big wins on the road. While Fields has played better than most probably expected, the offense has experienced too many slow starts to not be curious about what Wilson brings to the table. The offense has yet to put up a complete game with an even effort across all four quarters.
The Steelers initially brought in Wilson to be the veteran leader of the offense. There is a reason he was given pole position throughout the entire offseason. There is a reason he was named QB1 coming out of training camp. There is a reason he has remained atop the depth chart while out with a calf injury. He now will get an opportunity to begin to prove those reasons to be true.
There is a relatively high bar to clear for Wilson, with Fields winning over a large portion of the fan base with his 4-2 start.
Tomlin cited the “totality” of Wilson’s resume as a reason they are comfortable with him stepping in as the starter. What has gone overlooked in many of these conversations over the last few weeks is the fact that Wilson has been to two Super Bowls and won one, and that he is a nine-time Pro Bowler and potential future Hall of Famer.
This Steelers team isn’t the 2022 or 2023 Denver Broncos where he struggled. Now Wilson will have a chance to turn around the negative narratives that have been following him the last couple years.
