Supreme Court tosses out decision letting 18-year-olds carry guns during emergencies in Pennsylvania
The Supreme Court has tossed out a decision allowing 18-year-olds to legally carry guns in public
WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court on Tuesday tossed out a decision allowing 18-year-olds to openly carry guns during emergencies in Pennsylvania.
There were no noted dissents in the high court's brief order. It lets stand a ban on people aged 18 to 20 carrying guns in public during a declared state of emergency.
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.

Guys, it’s time to ditch your skinny jeans (seriously)
You know those denims lying in your closet, practically begging to be worn? It’s time to let them go. Seriously, this is not a drill. Give them away, or better yet, upcycle them into something useful, because the era of skinny jeans is over, and it’s not coming back anytime soon.
Trends may be cyclical, but trust me, as a fashion writer, the skinny jeans craze won’t be making a return anytime soon. If my expert word isn't enough to convince you, here are ten absolutely valid (and let's be honest, overdue) reasons why it’s time to part ways with your skinny jeans for good.
The future of fashion is calling and it’s all about comfort, style and leaving the leg-strangling behind!
Table of Contents
Comfort
If you are a closeted skinny jeans wearer, I don’t have to tell you how restricting they really are. Imagine going on a date to a nice restaurant and you have to adjust your jeans before you sit. You’ve lost the girl buddy! Go home.
Durability
Looser jeans tend to last longer, as the fabric isn't stretched to its limit like it is with skinny jeans. More relaxed fits allow the fabric to wear down evenly.
Versatility
Straight or relaxed-fit jeans are more versatile and easier to style for both casual and smart-casual looks, providing more outfit options than skinny jeans, which can sometimes feel limited.
Pockets With Purpose
With skinny jeans, your pockets are basically decoration. You can’t even fit your phone, keys, or wallet without risking your circulation. Time to embrace jeans that let you carry your essentials (and not in your girlfriend’s purse).
Your Legs Deserve a Break
Your legs have been squeezed for far too long! Let them finally stretch out and enjoy some much-needed freedom. Give your calves room to breathe, because they've been in a denim prison for years.
Your Jeans Shouldn’t Be Yoga Pants
If you’ve ever had to do a wiggle-dance to get into your jeans, that’s your body telling you it’s time to move on. Jeans shouldn’t double as a workout routine just to put them on.
Bathroom Battles
Skinny jeans turn every bathroom break into a struggle for survival. Fumbling with tight fabric in cramped stalls is no man’s idea of fun. Instead, a relaxed fit is the way to go.
The Sock Showdown
With skinny jeans, socks either bulge awkwardly or get hidden completely. With looser jeans, you can show off those funky socks you bought but never got to wear because no one could see them.
Not Your Perfect Lunch Companion
Skinny jeans do not play well with lunch - especially the all-you-can-eat kind. Looser jeans, on the other hand, are ready to accommodate your post-burger bliss without holding a grudge.
Not Nap-Ready
With skinny jeans, naps are out of the question - too tight to get comfortable. Switch to looser jeans, and you’ll be ready for a spontaneous snooze whenever the need arises.

(Bloomberg) -- Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco President Mary Daly said the US central bank must stay vigilant as inflation declines and the labor market cools, though she expressed optimism that officials could keep the current economic expansion on track.
Daly said workers are benefiting from a strong labor market that has drawn more people into the workforce and narrowed earnings gaps, as in past extended periods of growth.
“We’ve already seen some of the same patterns play out in our current expansion. Labor force participation for prime-age workers has reached new highs," Daly said Tuesday at an event in New York organized by the NYU Stern School of Business. “Compared to recent history, the current expansion is still relatively young."
Fed officials lowered their benchmark rate by a half percentage point last month, a move policymakers said was meant to protect the labor market. Officials also projected the central bank would reduce borrowing costs by another half point over the remainder of 2024, according to the median of estimates released in September.
Data released since the meeting showed hiring last month was more robust than expected and underlying inflation rose more than forecast, prompting several Fed officials to say they favored a more gradual approach to future cuts.
Daly said Tuesday the labor market was close to pre-pandemic levels and was no longer a source of major inflationary pressures. She also said the Fed’s inflation and employment goals are now balanced, adding officials must keep working to protect the strength of the labor market and bring inflation to their 2% target.
“We must stay vigilant and be intentional, continually assessing the economy and balancing both of our mandated objectives: fully delivering on 2% inflation while ensuring that the labor market remains in line with full employment," she said.
The San Francisco Fed chief reiterated that last month’s rate cut was a “recalibration" of policy as inflation cools, emphasizing that rates are still restrictive. She said last week she thought the central bank would likely make one or two more quarter-point rate reductions this year.
Answering questions after her speech, Daly repeated her view that it’s likely the neutral rate, which neither slows nor stimulates the economy, has likely risen. But she said current rates are still a “long way" from where they are likely to land in the long run.
“People want to know, where will the rate settle?" Daly said. “But the truth is, we’re a long way from where it’s likely to settle. So the decisions that are really in front of us are ones about how quickly to adjust towards that level."
(Updates with fresh Daly comments from ninth paragraph.)

India, US Sign ₹34,500 Crore Deal For 31 Predator Drones, MRO Facilities
The Indian and United States governments on Tuesday signed a deal worth ₹34,500 crore to acquire 31 Predator drones for the Indian armed forces. As part of the deal, India will also see the establishment of a maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility for the General Atomics-manufactured drones in the country.
The agreement, inked under the foreign military sales framework, was signed in New Delhi on Tuesday, October 15, in the presence of senior defence and strategic officials from both nations.
In recent years, both countries have expanded their military and strategic partnerships, driven by shared concerns over China's growing influence in the Indo-Pacific region.
The timing of the deal—just weeks ahead of the US presidential elections—signals India's intent to further deepen ties with Washington, especially in the domain of high-tech military equipment.
The Predator MQ-9B drones, also known as "Hunter Killers," are a critical addition to India's defence apparatus, providing advanced surveillance and combat capabilities. These drones are capable of conducting extended missions, staying airborne for over 35 hours, and carrying precision-guided weaponry, including Hellfire missiles and 450 kg of bombs.
Last week, the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, gave the final approval for the purchase of the drones. The procurement follows over a year of discussions, with the Defence Ministry having initially approved the acquisition in June 2022.
The drones are being acquired under a government-to-government framework, ensuring direct negotiations between the Indian and US governments, which reduces complexities by avoiding intermediaries and ensures favourable terms for India.
The deal's success can be largely attributed to the efforts of Vivek Lall, the Chief Executive of General Atomics Global Corporation, the American defence firm responsible for producing the MQ-9B drones. Lall played a key role in the negotiations and was present during the signing ceremony.
General Atomics has a long-standing relationship with India, having previously supplied various defence technologies, and this deal further cements their collaboration.
India's primary motivation for acquiring these drones is to strengthen its surveillance capabilities along its contentious borders, particularly with China. Tensions between the two nations have simmered for years, and India's ability to effectively monitor the Line of Actual Control (LAC) is a key factor in maintaining border security.
The long-endurance capability of the MQ-9B drones will allow Indian forces to maintain continuous surveillance over vast stretches of land, gathering critical intelligence that can inform military operations and prevent potential incursions.
Additionally, these drones offer offensive capabilities that could be leveraged in case of heightened conflict. The MQ-9B variant is equipped with advanced sensors and weapons systems that have proven effective in combat, including during the July 2022 operation in which a modified MQ-9B Reaper launched a Hellfire missile to eliminate al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in Kabul.
Of the 31 drones being procured, 15 will be Sea Guardian variants designed for the Indian Navy, while the remaining 16 will be Sky Guardians divided between the Indian Air Force and the Indian Army.

Is Rohit Sharma spreading fake news about Mohammed Shami’s injury days after pacer’s denial?
After veteran fast bowler Mohammed Shami wasn’t named in India’s squad for the three-match Test series against New Zealand, fans wondered if his rehabilitation would take longer than expected and whether he would gain fitness for the all-important Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Several media reports suggested that Shami would miss the Test series Down Under after suffering a fresh injury scare while undergoing his rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA).
The speedster, however, came down hard on those reports, describing them as “fake news”. He also urged his followers and well-wishers to not believe any piece of information about his fitness unless it has come from a credible source.
“Why these type of baseless rumors? I'm working hard and trying my level best to recover. Neither the BCCI nor me have mentioned that I am out of the Border Gavaskar series,” an agitated Shami wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Why these type of baseless rumors? I'm working hard and trying my level best to recover. Neither the BCCI nor me have mentioned that I am out of the Border Gavaskar series. I request the public to stop paying attention to such news from unofficial sources. Please stop and don’t… pic.twitter.com/0OgL1K2iKS
— 𝕸𝖔𝖍𝖆𝖒𝖒𝖆𝖉 𝖘𝖍𝖆𝖒𝖎 (@MdShami11) October 2, 2024
“I request the public to stop paying attention to such news from unofficial sources. Please stop and don't spread such fake fake fake & fake news, especially without my statement,” he added.
Days after Shami claimed that his rehabilitation was completely on track, Indian captain Rohit Sharma confirmed the concerns regarding Shami’s fitness. Speaking to the reporters on the eve of the first Test against New Zealand, Rohit revealed that the pacer suffered swelling in his knees at the NCA, derailing his rehabilitation schedule.
“To be honest, it is difficult to make a call on him for the Australia series. He had a setback and had swelling in his knees. That put him back a little bit and had to start again. He's at the NCA with doctors and physios. We don't want to bring undercooked Shami to Australia. We are keeping our fingers crossed,” Rohit told reporters.
The India skipper, in a way, confirmed that Shami would be running against time to be on that flight to Australia later this year.
“He was in the process of getting fit, getting close to 100 per cent, he had swelling in his knee, that put him back a little bit in his recovery. So, he had to start again. Right now, he's at NCA, he's working with the physios and the doctors at NCA,” he added.
“We are keeping our fingers crossed, we want him to be 100 per cent fit. We don't want to bring an undercooked Shami to Australia, that is not going to be the right decision for us,” he concluded.
Shami was expected to feature in the home Test series against New Zealand but an unfortunate swelling in his knees forced him to start his rehabilitation all over again.
If Shami doesn’t get fit before the marquee series Down Under, Jasprit Bumrah will be India’s senior-most pacer on that tour, which could be an advantage for the Australians.

Jaishankar To Be In Pakistan Today For SCO Summit
S Jaishankar's Pakistan visit: India has ruled out any bilateral talks with Pakistan during the two-day SCO summit and will only focus on issues within the framework of the bloc. This is the first visit by an Indian external affairs minister to Pakistan in 9 years
New Delhi: External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will be in Pakistan on Tuesday to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit, marking the first such visit from India to its neighbour in nine years due to strained ties between New Delhi and Islamabad.

"The 23rd Meeting of SCO Council of Heads of Government (CHG) will be held on 16 October 2024 in Islamabad under the chairmanship of Pakistan. The SCO CHG meeting is held annually and focuses on the trade and economic agenda of the Organization. EAM Dr. S Jaishankar will represent India at the meeting.

Bethany Joy Lenz from 'One Tree Hill' Opens Up About Being Lured Into an Idaho Christian Cult for a Decade
Bethany Joy Lenz from 'One Tree Hill' has opened up about the time she spent in a cult.
The actress penned a new memoir titled, 'Dinner for Vampires: Life on a Cult TV Show (While also in an Actual Cult!),' which will be released on October 22.
Prior to the memoir's release, Lenz opened up about her decade-long experience in the ultra-Christian cult led by a pastor in Idaho in an interview with 'PEOPLE.'
Lenz first encountered the group during a Bible study session in Los Angeles when she was 20, seeking stability after growing up in an Evangelical Christian family that frequently moved. "I had always been looking for a place to belong," she recalled.
Initially, the group offered the support and intimacy she craved. "We crave that kind of intimacy... The idea that someone out there says, 'No matter what you do... I still love you, and I'm here for you.' "
However, the dynamic changed when a pastor named "Les" invited members to live communally in Idaho. The 43-year-old shared,"It still looked normal... And then it just morphed. But by the time it started morphing, I was too far into the relationships to notice."
Yet, those she was close to outside of the cult noticed that something was wrong, including her 'One Tree Hill' co-stars. "I could see it on their faces... But I'd justify it, like, 'I couldn't possibly be in a cult.' " Craig Sheffer even warned her directly, saying she was involved in a cult. Lenz denied it at the time, responding, "No, no, no. Cults are weird... That's not what we do!"
Throughout her time on The WB's coming-to-age sports drama, Lenz's career, personal life, and finances were secretly dictated by the group. Reflecting on those years, she admits, "I don't think of it as brave... I think of it as important. Living silently in the suffering I experienced, I don't know if that helps anyone."
After marrying a fellow member and having her daughter Rosie in 2011, Lenz left both the cult and her marriage in 2012. But walking away wasn't easy. "The stakes were so high... They were my only friends. I was married into this group. I had built my entire life around it."
According to the Florida native, writing her memoir was trying, but Lenz hopes sharing her journey can inspire others.
She concluded: "I think of this more as the right thing to do."

Foundation joins an international coalition of public, private, and philanthropic leaders gathered at World health Summit to pledge USD 1 billion in support of WHO's goal of saving 40 million lives in next 4 years
BERLIN, Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Last night at the World Health Summit, the WHO Foundation announced a multi-year commitment of USD 50 million to the World Health Organization (WHO) for its work in 2025-2028, which it estimates will save 40 million lives.

The WHO Foundation's CEO, Anil Soni, joined a gathering of more than two dozen presidents, prime ministers, and leaders of governments, companies, and philanthropies, to rally behind a common purpose – health for all – and to support WHO as an indispensable engine uniquely qualified to achieve that vision on a global scale. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, speaking at the event, declared that "the WHO's work benefits us all."
Together, these leaders made USD 700 million in new funding commitments alongside USD 300 million in reaffirmed support, totaling USD 1 billion for WHO. Representatives of a dozen nations in Europe pledged, alongside a number of philanthropies from around the world, including the Gates Foundation, the Wellcome Trust, and Hong Kong's Institute of Philanthropy.
Soni announced in the WHO Foundation's pledge new contributions from corporate partners, including Sanofi, to help WHO eliminate sleeping sickness and operate emergency hubs to respond more quickly to disease outbreaks and natural disasters; Boehringer Ingelheim, to support suicide prevention in the Americas; and Novo Nordisk, for prevention and care of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes.
"We have an opportunity to make health more equitable," said Soni, "creating systems that are united and resilient against shared threats like climate change, outbreaks, and rising mental health issues. We've engaged companies across industries and philanthropies from around the world to power WHO's lifesaving work, bringing the public and private sectors together."
The pledges announced in Berlin are part of WHO's first-ever Investment Round, launched in Geneva at the World Health Assembly in May and culminating at next month's G20 Summit, in Rio de Janeiro and chaired by Brazilian President Lula da Silva. The Investment Round aims to fully finance WHO's Fourteenth General Programme of Work (GPW14), spanning from 2025 to 2028, with the goal of more predictable, flexible, and resilient funding for organization's work across more than 150 countries.
WHO Foundation's corporate partners pledged support for WHO's General Programme of Work:
"Today, as we face challenges of unprecedented scale - from health crises to climate change and geopolitical instability - it is essential that we join forces across all sectors," said Audrey Duval, Executive President, Corporate Affairs at Sanofi. "Sanofi and Foundation S are dedicated to advancing health equity and sustainability, which is why I am proud to announce our pledge of nearly USD 60 million
to support the World Health Organization over the next four years. This commitment reinforces our belief in the power of cross-sector collaboration to bridge critical gaps, strengthen healthcare systems, and build a better, more resilient world for all."
"One in eight people globally live with a mental health condition. Limited or no access to help for patients is alarming, especially in underserved communities. In partnering with the WHO Foundation, we want to increase access to life-saving healthcare services. In particular, we want to partner on more effective suicide prevention in the Americas," said Médard Schoenmaeckers, Global Head of Corporate Affairs at Boehringer Ingelheim.
Nicolai Haugaard, Vice President and Global Head of Health Equity, Novo Nordisk said: "We are delighted to announce Novo Nordisk's support to the World Health Organization. We are proud to support WHO's mandate to promote healthy and safer lives, serving the vulnerable worldwide, particularly improving prevention and care of non-communicable diseases in low- and middle-income countries. Today, we therefore pledge USD 2.9 million as part of the private sector contribution to the Investment Round, through the WHO Foundation, in support of the 14th WHO Global Programme of Work for 2025-2028."
The WHO Foundation's pledge in Berlin pools together contributions from a range of partners, including previous commitments from the ELMA Philanthropies, Firuza Foundation, Maybelline New York, and TikTok; it also reflects contributions which will be finalized in the coming months.
The Geneva-based WHO Foundation, now in its fourth year, was established as an independent entity to harness philanthropic, business, and public donations to create long-term impact in global health by supporting WHO and its mission. It works closely with WHO, but is operationally and financially independent.
"The Foundation believes everyone-business, philanthropists, and individuals-can contribute to a stronger WHO and a healthier world," said Soni. "This USD 50 million pledge is just the start of what we will be able to mobilize and achieve with WHO in the years ahead."

A Phone Scam That Starts With a ‘Hi’ is Robbing People Blind in Texas
Thieves are awful people in Texas. They will do any and everything to find a way to break into your home or into your car in the hopes of coming away with a big haul. Some thieves, however, don't have to break into your home or car to steal. Some can be very tricky buy offering a great deal or a nice gift. Some could start off their crime with a simple text message that says "Hi." After that initial contact, it will turn into a rabbit hole of dialogue that could turn into losing a large amount of your hard earned money. Learn more about this scam and how to avoid becoming a victim.
"Hi" Text Message Scam
This scam starts with the scammer sending a simple text message to you, the hopeful victim. The message will simply say "Hi." If you respond, the scammer will go into some small talk to hopefully build a rapport with you. Eventually, the scammer will "reveal" that they are some kind of company executive that lives a very lavish lifestyle. They'll eventually turn this small talk into flirting and escalate it to a point that you may feel like you're in a legitimate relationship.
The scammer will get to the point of being able to "teach" you how to trade cryptocurrency (which is kind of a scam in itself) or foreign currency. The thing is, these "trades" are being made in a made up market. It'll look like you've made some substantial profits when in reality, its all been a game.
If it's Too Good to be True, it Probably is.
When you get to the point that you want to withdraw some of the money you've "made," the scammer will shut down the platform you have been using to make those very "profitable" trades and turn it around to say that you owe the scammer money. A threat of law enforcement or government punishment is most likely used to scare you into paying the money (nbcdfw.com).
Don't Fall for This Scam
All of this simply for replying to a random text message with a sweet greeting of "Hi." The best way to avoid becoming a victim is to not reply to that unwanted text message. If you do receive a text message like that, contact your local authorities so they can get the word out to the rest of the area then delete it.

ESPN Analyst Suggest Miami Heat Are On Verge Of Being Irrelevant
The Miami Heat remained on the NBA radar the past few seasons mostly because of postseason success.
ESPN's Tim Legler thinks that could discontinue this season if there is no improvement. Despite making two Finals appearances since 2020, the Heat have nothing to show for it.
"Are we done caring about the Heat," Legler said on the All NBA podcast. "It's like we're kind of at that point. I think it's going to be interesting to see what they do with this group."
Legler broke down a variety of topics. Here's a few:
ON TERRY ROZIER
"Terry Rozier, he didn't have a full season with them last year and then he got hurt," Legler said. "Maybe he plays really well this season ... Coming into the season, it's a different look. When you've had training camp with the team and you know the guys a lot better, it's just different rather than doing it on fly."
ON NIKOLA JOVIC AND JAIME JAQUEZ
"Jovic is a guy that's going to be better this year," Legler said. "He had an Olympics experience that probably will be beneficial to him. He's a very talented, young player, so he could have a significant improvment in his impact. And Jaime Jaquez had a great year as a rookie. He just figures to get better."
ON BAM ADEBAYO, JIMMY BUTLER AND TYLER HERRO
"I think there's some things there to watch for them," Legler said. "The question is always going to revolve around those guys, Herro, Butler and Adebayo. Have you seen the best of what that's going to look like? If that's the case, they're not interesting."

The Dodgers pitching beast that had looked so invulnerable for the last two games of its series with the Padres and its first nine innings against the Mets suddenly toppled in the beginning of NLCS Game 2. Such are the momentum swings of the postseason, and such is the damage that sophomore third baseman Mark Vientos can do when he locks onto a ball from the batter's box.
After a glum 9-0 loss on Sunday night, it was Mr. Smile himself, Francisco Lindor, who gave the Mets a pick-me-up with a lead-off dinger to right against Dodger opener Ryan Brasier. That longball not only punctured L.A.'s lengthy scoreless streak, it also helped set up the key moment of the ballgame as Landon Knack labored through the second inning. Scooping up a couple of outs while allowing a single, a walk, and an RBI double, Knack was set to face the 1-for-1 Lindor with men on second and third and the score already 2-0. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts directed his man toward the correct strategic decision, sending Lindor to first on an imaginary quartet of balls. But the choice to face the next man in the order over Lindor only steamed up the Mets' two-spot hitter, who's no slouch himself.
A hyped prospect who's really exploded as a 24-year-old after an underwhelming first impression at the major-league level, Vientos stood out with 27 big flies across just 111 games and proved himself as the team's second-most important bat after Lindor as they made their second-half charge. He is, however, an aggressive hitter whose powerful swing can also produce a ton of whiffs, and compared with the expertise of the veteran Lindor, Knack couldn't have hated his chances of inducing an out.
But after an 0-for-5 start to the series with three Ks, Vientos dug in for a grueling at-bat that wore Knack down until he delivered the exact brand of cheese the hitter was looking for. Contending almost exclusively with Knack's slider, Vientos watched a ball, fouled off three straight, and then alternated balls with fouls until reaching the ninth pitch of the AB. This one was dead center without any movement, and Vientos was ready to meet it. Without overswinging, he lifted it to deep right-center, where it carried and carried until it cleared the fence.
The Mets bullpen would keep it interesting to the end. (It's really kind of humiliating how much of my happiness right now depends on, like, Ryne Stanek throwing strikes.) But that grand slam proved to be the difference in a 7-3 final that sent the series back to New York tied one-all.
The intentional walk to Lindor was reasonably sound strategy on the Dodgers' part, even if Vientos "did take it personal," but it marked the continuation of a trend pointed out by ESPN: The last three playoff grand slams after a purposeful free pass have all come at the expense of the Dave Roberts's boys. There was Miguel Montero as the eventual champion Cubs took Game 1 of the NLCS in 2016, Howie Kendrick for the eventual champion Nats in the 10th inning of an NLDS Game 5, and now Mark Vientos in 2024 for the outcome-TBD Mets. Nobody's had more practice at burning themselves in big moments than the Dodgers.

Esther Adan, nomad biker. Credit: Where is Esther, Instagram.
This Year’s recognition of the ‘Nomad of the Year’ at the Komando Bike Festival in Torremolinos is a woman who has only had her licence one year.
Crazy for adventure, Esther Adán, resident of Marbella, has been around the world on her bike since she passed her riding test last year. She says she experienced a type of ‘epiphany’ when riding passenger. Deaf, twice divorced mother, 57-year-old Esther has been no stranger to challenges in her life, not least when obtaining her motorcycle licence without being able to hear the examiner.
Once she had passed the test, she was off, and nothing would stop her. She embarked on travelling the world on two wheels, firstly to Asia, where she built up her experience and courage on an old 125cc. Since then, she has travelled through Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Norway, Spain and Colombia. Sometimes accompanied by friends, other times alone, or in packs of bikers.
Her passion is hers. There’s no history of bikers in the family, and while this Sevilla woman now has a comfortable base in Marbella, at this time in her life, she has decided to become nomadic and travel the world on a bike.
She currently rides a BMW G 310 R, but recently, in Colombia she fell in love with the massively different Ducati Scrambler 800, although she says she still has a soft sport for the little Honda she rode in Vietnam.
She posted on her Instagram where-is-esther, ‘At 57, with hearing problems and being a novice on the bike, I choose not to let my weaknesses dictate my life. I am a woman who keeps moving forward, enjoying every moment to the fullest. Life is to be lived with passion, joy, and freedom, no matter the obstacles. Now, I’m planning another great adventure. Stay strong, stay positive, and never give up.’

After a successful run in theaters -- and just in time to creep you out for Halloween -- Alien: Romulus is now available to rent or buy on digital streaming platforms.
The 20th Century Studios follow-up to Ridley Scott's 1979 classic Alien and James Cameron's beloved 1986 sequel Aliens was directed by Fede Álvarez, who directed the micro-budgeted 2016 horror hit Don't Breathe.
The logline teases, "While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe."
The digital release comes packed with supplemental extras, including a feature on how Álvarez opted for practical effects over digital wherever possible — including a close-up look of how they brought the creepy facehugger aliens to life.
Alien: Romulus is Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with an Audience Score of 85% and made more than $349 million worldwide, the second-highest-grossing film in the Alien franchise globally.
The film comes to 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD on Dec. 3.
20th Century Studios is a division of ABC News' parent company, Disney.

EA and BioWare are just about ready to deliver their next RPG epic, with Dragon Age: The Veilguard coming in for fans in a couple of weeks. In its latest blog post covering preload times and advanced specifications for the game, though, the developer also shared some information about the digital rights management (DRM) technologies it will be using, confirming that no third-party facilities will be used.
This means Denuvo will not be a part of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the popular anti-piracy measure used by many publishers and developers nowadays. There is a small drawback, though, with BioWare saying that "the lack of DRM means that there will be no preload period for PC players."
Here's when Xbox and PlayStation players can begin their preload of the game, plus global launch times for the RPG:
- Xbox Series X|S: October 14th 9 AM PDT
- Playstation 5: October 29th, 9 AM PDT
The studio has already shared hardware requirements for Dragon Age: The Veilguard PC players as well as details of the extensive testing this version is going through to make sure proper optimization is a major factor. It's even Steam Deck verified already.
Today, the studio showed off another PC specifications table with a little bit more information on what kind of performance players can expect with ray tracing and different FPS expectations. See the table below:
As for consoles, fidelity (30FPS) and performance (60FPS) modes will be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. The new PlayStation 5 Pro will feature the same options in Veilguard, but BioWare says additional resolution and visual improvements will be seen when using the latest and improved hardware.
"The team at BioWare is proud of how immersed players will be when they enter the beautiful world of Thedas, with upgraded image quality thanks to Sony’s new AI-based upscaler, PSSR," says BioWare studio technical director Maciej Kurowski. "We’ve enabled Raytraced Ambient Occlusion (RTAO) in the 60FPS Performance mode, which previously was only available on the base PlayStation 5 with 30FPS Fidelity mode."
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is releasing on October 31 across PC (Steam, EA App, Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X|S, as well as PlayStation 5.

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

New Delhi: India and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are on track to achieve a significant milestone of $100 million in non-oil trade by 2030, according to a statement from the commerce & industry ministry on Tuesday.
This announcement follows the second meeting of the Joint Committee (JC) under the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (Cepa), held in the UAE.
The Indian delegation was led by Ajay Bhadoo, additional secretary in the commerce department, alongside Juma Al Kait, assistant undersecretary for International Trade Affairs from the UAE economy ministry, who co-chaired the meeting.
"Both sides noted substantial growth in bilateral trade during the first two years of implementation of Cepa and expressed optimism in attaining the target of $100 million non-oil trade well before 2030," the statement said.
"The two sides also held wide-ranging discussions on all aspects of the bilateral partnership, including measures to strengthen and enhance two-way trade," it added.
A key focal point of the meeting was the implementation of Tariff Rate Quotas (TRQ) on designated products, with both parties agreeing to collaborate closely to ensure UAE exporters can effectively access these benefits.
Additionally, India reiterated its request to classify the Indian Jewellery Exposition Center in Dubai as a designated zone, enabling Indian jewellery manufacturers to benefit from concessional duties.
"On issues related to the trade in services matter, the two sides exchanged focal points and agreed to hold the First Sub-Committee Meeting at the earliest," the statement said.
"The Indian side highlighted the need for professional bodies from both sides to enter into Mutual Recognition Agreements that would enable professionals like chartered accountants, lawyers, nurses, etc. to provide their services without the need for another certification. Both sides agreed to work on an actionable plan in this regard," it added.
India also raised concerns about a recent surge in imports of silver products, platinum alloys, and dry dates from the UAE, urging verification of compliance with rules of origin norms to prevent circumvention.
The bilateral trade between India and the UAE has experienced remarkable growth, increasing to $83.6 billion in 2023-2024 from $59.5 billion in 2013-2014.
At present, crude oil and petroleum products account for more than a third of imports from the UAE.
The Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement, signed in 2022, has played a crucial role in this growth by reducing trade barriers and encouraging investment.

India vs New Zealand 1st Test: Bengaluru’s gloomy weather threatens washout
As India gear up to face New Zealand in the first Test at Bengaluru’s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, the weather report has painted a gloomy picture on all five days of the series opener.
Team India’s final practice session ahead of the Test match was cancelled due to an incessant downpour in the Garden City of India. The weather report hints at low to heavy downpours and thunderstorms on all five days of the match.
According to the Indian Meteorological Department, a low-pressure area formed over the Bay of Bengal has triggered widespread rainfall in several districts in the state, including Bengaluru.
According to the weather department, the arid regions in the northern parts of the state would continue to witness rainfall over the next few days.
“This situation will prevail for the next three to four days,” an official said, as quoted by The Indian Express.
According to the weather forecast website, AccuWeather, the opening day of the match has a high 25 per cent chance of thunderstorms which could affect the afternoon session significantly.
The forecast for the second day isn’t any better, with a 24 per cent chance of thunderstorms. Even on Friday, the rain is expected to play spoilsport in the afternoon session.
The penultimate day of the Test match is predicted to best weather with only 1 % chance of precipitation but the gloomy weather is expected to affect the play on the fifth and the final day the match.
If indeed these weather predictions are true, there is a high possibility of the match ending in a draw. The Kiwis aren’t Bangladesh, who could be defeated in a couple of days.
Looking at the weather forecast, both teams are expected to field a pace-heavy bowling attack, which means India could leave either Ravichandran Ashwin or Ravindra Jadeja out of the starting lineup.

Justin Trudeau Reels In US And UK, Says Alleged Evidence Shared With Allies In India-Canada Diplomatic Row
New Delhi: The India-Canada diplomatic row worsened further on Tuesday as Justin Trudeau ramped up his government’s campaign over the alleged Indian government agents’ involvement in the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
India has expelled six Canadian diplomats besides recalling its high commissioner and other targeted diplomats from Canada in response to a similar move by Ottawa over its claims of Indian government's involvement in the killing of designated terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
In the wake of the two countries expelling each other’s diplomats, Trudeau said Canada has shared all their information about its claims against Indian officials with its Five Eyes allies including the US. The Canadian prime minister also discussed the issue with his UK counterpart Keir Starmer, claiming a ”targeted campaign against Canadian citizens by agents linked to the Government of India.”
During the phone call, Starmer and Trudeau discussed “the need to ensure the safety and security of their citizens and the importance of upholding and respecting the rule of law and agreed to stay in close contact, the Canadian PM’s office said in a statement.
In a hurriedly convened press conference on Tuesday after India expelled six Canadian diplomats and recalled its high commissioner and other “targeted diplomats” from Canada, Trudeau, “From the beginning, we’ve worked closely with our Five Eyes partners, particularly with the United States, where they have gone through a similar pattern of behaviour from India in regards to an attempted extrajudicial killing.”
Responding to the recent chain of events, India’s Ministry of External Affairs said India holds the right to take further steps in response to the Trudeau government’s support for extremism, violence and separatism against India.
After the press conference, Trudeau also issued a long statement on his government’s investigation into the Nijjar killing in June 2023.
He claimed the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, probing the case, met with Indian officials over the weekend and shared the evidence “which concluded six agents of the Government of India are persons of interest in criminal activities”.
He added that his foreign minister issued deportation notices to these six individuals after “repeated requests to the Government of India, they have decided not to co-operate”.
“I believe that India has made a monumental mistake by choosing to use their diplomats and organised crime to attack Canadians, to make them feel unsafe here at (their) home, and even more, to create acts of violence and even murder. It’s unacceptable,” he alleged.
What Caused The Row Between India And Canada?
Khalistani elements based in Canada carrying out anti-India are at the centre of this diplomatic row and the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, one such person and a designated terrorist by India, led to the fall in ties between the two countries.
In September last year, Trudeau accused Indian agents of “potential” involvement in Nijjar’s killing in Surrey, British Columbia, in June 2023. New Delhi has repeatedly dismissed Trudeau’s allegations as “absurd.”
Nijjar, who immigrated to Canada in 1997 and became a citizen in 2015, had been an advocate for the creation of Khalistan, a separate Sikh state in India. He was wanted by Indian authorities on charges of terrorism and conspiracy to commit murder.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs Faces Explosive New Lawsuits for Sexual Assault and Death Threats
Sean "Diddy" Combs continues to face serious legal troubles.
The prominent music producer is now the subject of five new lawsuits filed in the Southern District of New York, accusing him of rape, drugging, sodomy, and death threats against the alleged victims.
According to court papers obtained by 'Page Six' on Monday, one woman stated that Combs raped her in 2004 when she was 19. She claims the assault took place after she was invited to his photo shoot and later brought to his hotel room at the Marriott in Manhattan.
In addition, another lawsuit details accusations from an unnamed male, alleging that Combs, 54, sexually assaulted him in a stockroom at Macy's in 2008.

A female victim has also alleged that in 2004, Combs assaulted her at the Marriott. Another male plaintiff stated that Combs attacked him in a department store stockroom in 2008.
In another lawsuit, a man claims that in 2006, Combs drugged and sodomized him inside a van following one of his infamous all-white parties. Despite the victim's pleas for help, Combs allegedly dismissed his cries, insisting that he would "be alright."
Additionally, another individual who attended a white party in 1998 claims that Combs demanded he expose himself before allegedly touching him inappropriately. The alleged male victim was 16 years old at the time.
In yet another claim, a woman accused the Bad Boy Records' founder of raping her at a 1995 event promoting Biggie Smalls' "One More Chance" music video. She alleges that Combs violently attacked her, hitting her head against a wall before assaulting her again.
Combs' legal team has yet to issue a statement in response to these accusations. However, he has consistently denied any wrongdoing since his arrest in September, where he faced charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and prostitution.
All of the alleged victims are represented by attorney Tony Buzbee, who revealed he is also representing more than 100 other individuals connected to the case.

New Delhi: India and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are on track to achieve a significant milestone of $100 million in non-oil trade by 2030, according to a statement from the commerce & industry ministry on Tuesday.
This announcement follows the second meeting of the Joint Committee (JC) under the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (Cepa), held in the UAE.
The Indian delegation was led by Ajay Bhadoo, additional secretary in the commerce department, alongside Juma Al Kait, assistant undersecretary for International Trade Affairs from the UAE economy ministry, who co-chaired the meeting.
"Both sides noted substantial growth in bilateral trade during the first two years of implementation of Cepa and expressed optimism in attaining the target of $100 million non-oil trade well before 2030," the statement said.

"The two sides also held wide-ranging discussions on all aspects of the bilateral partnership, including measures to strengthen and enhance two-way trade," it added.
Tariff Rate Quotas
A key focal point of the meeting was the implementation of Tariff Rate Quotas (TRQ) on designated products, with both parties agreeing to collaborate closely to ensure UAE exporters can effectively access these benefits.
Additionally, India reiterated its request to classify the Indian Jewellery Exposition Center in Dubai as a designated zone, enabling Indian jewellery manufacturers to benefit from concessional duties.

"On issues related to the trade in services matter, the two sides exchanged focal points and agreed to hold the First Sub-Committee Meeting at the earliest," the statement said.
"The Indian side highlighted the need for professional bodies from both sides to enter into Mutual Recognition Agreements that would enable professionals like chartered accountants, lawyers, nurses, etc. to provide their services without the need for another certification. Both sides agreed to work on an actionable plan in this regard," it added.
India also raised concerns about a recent surge in imports of silver products, platinum alloys, and dry dates from the UAE, urging verification of compliance with rules of origin norms to prevent circumvention.
The bilateral trade between India and the UAE has experienced remarkable growth, increasing to $83.6 billion in 2023-2024 from $59.5 billion in 2013-2014.

At present, crude oil and petroleum products account for more than a third of imports from the UAE.
The Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement, signed in 2022, has played a crucial role in this growth by reducing trade barriers and encouraging investment.

Eagles fans love to complain about the team. Eagles fans love to complain about the head coach. This week they’re getting a chance to do both after the team won, which perhaps raises the bar on what can be considered a perfect Eagles game. On Sunday the Eagles pretty much played like shit against a team they were expected to beat by more than a touchdown. Fans seemed pissed the whole game. Like, more than usual, and for more obvious reasons than usual.
Much of that ire went toward Nick Sirianni. He heard it during Sunday’s 20-16 win over the lowly Browns, a game in which the Eagles never trailed and never really seemed to get going. Philadelphia fans are rarely happy, but they had a right to complain in this one. The Eagles got wide receivers A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith back from injury. Lane Johnson returned to anchor the offensive line. The team was coming off a bye and playing at home one of the worst teams in the league. And while they got the job done, booing was a pretty reasonable response to the experience of watching them do it.
The only touchdown the Eagles allowed was on a blocked field goal returned for a score, but they did not play well. They looked pretty much like the same team they did before the bye, except with all of their offensive stars back. Fans expected more.
This was easy to tell, because they booed a lot. Reporters in the press box said fans near them tried to start a “Fire Sirianni” chant, though it didn’t catch on. But there were other fans, closer to Nick Sirianni, who made sure Sirianni heard their complaints about him.
Sirianni did not take this well. Who would? Some fans chirped at him seemingly the whole game. Knowing the Eagles fanbase, there is absolutely no way anyone said anything nice. After the Eagles put the win on ice with a bomb to A.J. Brown on the game’s final possession, Sirianni decided to let them have it.
As a result, the local fan, media, and sports talk radio chatter this week has been pretty much exclusively not about the team's dispiriting and dispiritingly close win over the Browns. It has mostly if not entirely been about Sirianni yelling at fans who heckled him throughout the game. If Sirianni was trying to get any heat off the rest of his team, it worked! But that does not seem to have been the intention.
In the offseason, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said he wanted Sirianni to tone things down a bit:
On the sideline, you don’t want to infuriate the referees. I worry about... I want the referees to give us a fair shake. I don’t want him to overreact. But I love his passion. So, I think he recognizes that it can be a little bit counterproductive if he overdoes his own passion. But you don’t want to stop where that passion is coming from. So, it’s—you've got to find a sweet spot. I think he wants to find a sweet spot of what that looks like. I love his passion.
Jeffrey Lurie press conference, March 2024
Lurie was primarily talking about how Sirianni’s emotions might hurt him with the referees, so maybe he’s OK with him insulting paying customers instead. But when your boss says that they “love [your] passion” twice in rapid succession, it is reasonable to assume that they have started to find your passion at least a little bit grating.
After the game Sirianni entered his press conference with his children, a thing he’d done in the past, as if that might blunt criticism. (Beat writers said that didn’t change the questions they’d ask.) Sirianni said players told him during the bye week that they wanted more emotion from him on the sideline; several could be seen laughing before his exchange with fans.
Mostly Sirianni tried to play it off. “It’s hard to get a win in this league, so we’re excited to get the win,” he said. “Our fans created a couple of false starts that really helped us win this game. But I was just excited to get the win and appreciate the Linc’s support.” Players said they had his back.
Sirianni entered the game with a shaved head—a new look for the coach that made it seem like he’d lost a hair vs. hair match during the bye. Fans haven’t shut up about his haircut or his exchange with fans since pretty much the final gun. I listened to sports talk radio for a bit this morning and people were, naturally, calling for a firing. People blamed Lurie, too, for not reigning Sirianni in. A story by longtime Eagles beat guy Reuben Frank called it “wacko” behavior. People asked if he went too far. ESPN called him a “straight clown.” All for a little yelling from the coach after the game!
The Daily News reported Eagles brass made Sirianni apologize yesterday, and he came through with a great one: “I’m sorry and disappointed on how my energy was directed at the end of the game.” He vowed to have “better wisdom.” This is how I’d apologize to people who heckled me throughout the game, too.
Anyway, it is now less than a week before everyone learns what Eagles fans are peeved about after a game against the Giants.

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.

US warns Israel to boost humanitarian aid into Gaza or risk weapons funding
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
WASHINGTON -- 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.

In June of this year, Microsoft announced three new Xbox consoles joining the existing lineup: two Xbox Series X models and one new Xbox Series S. After the preorders kicked off in late August, the new consoles are now available.
Unlike Sony's PlayStation 5 Pro model, which offers more horsepower under the hood for better graphics and faster framerates, Microsoft's refreshed Xbox models focus on two main things: design and storage capacity.
The new white Xbox Series X dropped the optical drive to save money, turning itself into an Xbox Series S on steroids. The White Xbox Series X with a 1TB SSD is now available for $449 (449 EUR), which is $50 less than the standard Xbox Series X with an optical drive.
Speaking of Xbox Series S, there is now a 1TB model. The console overall is the same, and the only difference is that the storage is now double in size. The price? $349 (349 EUR), a $50 increase over the standard 512GB Xbox Series S in white.
Finally, we have the Xbox Series X Galaxy Black Special Edition. It retains its optical drive for games on disks but upgrades the storage to a more impressive 2TB. Also, the console has a unique case finish resembling a starlit sky, hence the name. As for the price, the Xbox Series X Galaxy Black Special Edition will set you back $599 in the US or 649 EUR in Europe.
- Xbox Series S 1TB Robot White - $349 in the Microsoft Store
- Xbox Series X 1TB Robot White - $449 in the Microsoft Store
- Xbox Series X 2TB Galaxy Black Special Edition - $599 in the Microsoft Store.
The new Xbox Series X|S consoles are now available in the United States and other countries. Microsoft plans to expand the lineup to more regions starting October 29.

New Delhi: India has signed the mega deal of ₹34,500 Crores to procure 31 MQ-9B drones for its Navy, Army and Air Force in significant boost to New Delhi's defence capabilities. Here's all you need to know about the 'Predator' armed drones.
The MQ-9B drone is a variant of the MQ-9 'Reaper' drone used by the US to take out an Al-Qaeda leader in 2022.
Ramping up its defence capabilities, India has signed a whopping ₹34,500 Crores deal with the US to buy 31 long-endurance MQ-9B Predator drones from America’s defence major General Atomics as per the foreign military sales route has been approved at a cost of nearly USD 4 billion to enhance the Indian military’s combat capabilities along the contested borders with China.
According to the news agency PTI, the deal was signed in the presence of India’s top defence and strategic officials in the national capital, marking a significant strengthening of military ties between the two countries.
The procurement of the drones was finalised just weeks before the US presidential elections. Last week, the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, approved the acquisition of the MQ-9B ‘hunter-killer’ drones.
All About MQ-9B ‘Predator’ Drones And The Deal
The drones are being procured at an estimated cost of around USD 4 billion (₹34,500 Crores).
India is acquiring the drones to enhance the surveillance capabilities of its armed forces, particularly along the contested border with China.
In June 2022, the Defence Ministry approved the procurement of the MQ-9B Predator armed drones from the US under a government-to-government framework.
The MQ-9B drone is a variant of the MQ-9 “Reaper,” which was used to launch a modified version of the Hellfire missile that eliminated al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in Kabul in July 2022.
The Navy will receive 15 Sea Guardian drones, while the Indian Air Force and the Army will each acquire eight Sky Guardian drones.
The high-altitude, long-endurance drones can stay airborne for over 35 hours and are capable of carrying four Hellfire missiles and approximately 450 kg of bombs.
The Sea Guardian drones can perform a variety of roles, including maritime surveillance, anti-submarine warfare, and over-the-horizon targeting, among others.
The SeaGuardian can integrate a self-contained anti-submarine warfare (ASW) mission kit.

The playoff second game between the traditional powerhouses Samsung Lions and LG Twins is underway at Lions Park amidst a heated atmosphere.
Early in the game, Samsung's captain Koo Ja-wook faced an injury, but the way to escape that crisis was, once again, a home run.
Let's connect with our reporter for more details.
Heo Sol-ji, please tell us more.
[Report]
Yes, the playoff second game, which was postponed due to rain yesterday, took place today under cloudy weather, but the 23,000 seats at Daegu Lions Park were sold out early.
LG took the first point in the top of the first inning, but Samsung's captain Koo Ja-wook immediately responded in the bottom of the first inning.
After hitting a single and successfully stealing second base, he unfortunately suffered a shock to his left knee while sliding into the base.
Koo Ja-wook, who appeared to be in discomfort, limped home after Diaz's hit, bringing the game back to even.
Koo Ja-wook was replaced by Lee Seong-kyu and is currently being examined at the hospital.
The captain's injury could have dampened the mood, but instead, Samsung's batting lineup became even more energized.
In the second inning, Kim Young-woong hit a home run for the second consecutive game, allowing Samsung to turn the game around.
In the third inning, they also had a bit of luck.
Diaz avoided a strikeout when his swing was ruled a no-swing, and he immediately hit a single, allowing Lee Seong-kyu, who was on first base, to dash home.
In the heated atmosphere of Daegu, Samsung showcased their power as the top home run-hitting lineup with a two-run home run by Kim Heon-gon in the fifth inning, a home run by Diaz in the sixth, and another home run by both Kim Heon-gon and Diaz in the seventh inning, totaling five home runs.
Currently, Samsung is leading LG 10 to 2.
If the game ends this way, Samsung will need just one more win to reach the Korean Series.
The third playoff game will be held the day after tomorrow (Oct. 17) at Jamsil.

Diaz avoided a strikeout when his swing was ruled a no-swing, and he immediately hit a single, allowing Lee Seong-kyu, who was on first base, to dash home.
In the heated atmosphere of Daegu, Samsung showcased their power as the top home run-hitting lineup with a two-run home run by Kim Heon-gon in the fifth inning, a home run by Diaz in the sixth, and another home run by both Kim Heon-gon and Diaz in the seventh inning, totaling five home runs.
Currently, Samsung is leading LG 10 to 2.
If the game ends this way, Samsung will need just one more win to reach the Korean Series.
The third playoff game will be held the day after tomorrow (Oct. 17) at Jamsil.

[Anchor]
The playoff second game between the traditional powerhouses Samsung Lions and LG Twins is underway at Lions Park amidst a heated atmosphere.
Early in the game, Samsung's captain Koo Ja-wook faced an injury, but the way to escape that crisis was, once again, a home run.
Let's connect with our reporter for more details.
Heo Sol-ji, please tell us more.
[Report]
Yes, the playoff second game, which was postponed due to rain yesterday, took place today under cloudy weather, but the 23,000 seats at Daegu Lions Park were sold out early.
LG took the first point in the top of the first inning, but Samsung's captain Koo Ja-wook immediately responded in the bottom of the first inning.
After hitting a single and successfully stealing second base, he unfortunately suffered a shock to his left knee while sliding into the base.
Koo Ja-wook, who appeared to be in discomfort, limped home after Diaz's hit, bringing the game back to even.
Koo Ja-wook was replaced by Lee Seong-kyu and is currently being examined at the hospital.
The captain's injury could have dampened the mood, but instead, Samsung's batting lineup became even more energized.

Jon Bon Jovi Endorses Kamala Harris for President: 'The Truth Matters'
Jon Bon Jovi has shared that he will be endorsing Kamala Harris for president.
In a post to his Instagram account, the legendary rock singer shined a spotlight on his song called "The People's House" from his Forever album. The track features group The War and Treaty and is a patriotic anthem.
Bon Jovi took to the caption to share that he will be putting his support behind Harris in the upcoming presidential election next month.
"'The People's House' is a song that celebrates this beautiful place that we call home, from sea to shining sea. @thewarandtreaty," he began.
"The truth matters. And the truth is on election day I'll be voting for @KamalaHarris and @TimWalz because I believe in the power of we, not of me. I've written a song reminding us that out of many, we are still one," Bon Jovi said.
Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff went on to thank Bon Jovi for supporting his wife.
"It's my wife, and it's now or never. Election's coming in November. Thanks for supporting Kamala, @JonBonJovi!" he said in a post to Instagram.
This is not the first time that Bon Jovi has given his support to the Democratic Party. He previously supported current President Joe Biden and performed at the 2021 inauguration day "Celebrating America" concert. During his time there, he performed a cover of The Beatles' "Here Comes the Sun."
Harris has been the subject of support from various celebrities this upcoming election season. She has been given support from big names like Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish as well as country icon Willie Nelson.
Recently, Eilish opened up about her decision to support Harris in an interview with Vogue.
"I mean, this is the most important election of our time, maybe, and it's so easy to be like, I don't want to think about it... I have that same kind of feeling: I'm one person, I can't make any change. But the truth is, we can all make change. And I have this platform and I'm going to use it," she told the outlet.
"Really big fan of human rights. Really big fan of women's rights and women's reproductive rights and social justice and gun laws... A lot of my fans are going to be able to vote for the first time. So I'm like, Do you like freedom?" Eilish added.

Let us say—just as an example—that you were switching back and forth on your TV Monday night, between the ALCS and your favorite hockey team during commercials. Let us pretend, in this scenario, that you did not always switch back to the baseball game in time for the start of each inning, and sometimes missed a few pitches. Let us also imagine that at the start of the bottom of the third, you tuned in just in time to see Juan Soto crank a ball just over the wall in right-center. As he rounded the bases, you would naturally have turned your eyes to the score bug in the top-right of your screen. There, at first glance, and also second and third glances, you would notice the little bases graphic has second base a different color than the other two—lighter, filled in. You have been conditioned by a lifetime of score bugs to know what this means: There was a guy on second! Soto's was a two-run home run!
But no. It was a solo shot. The TBS graphic is just like that. It makes it look like there's always a runner a second.
Several times during TBS's coverage of the AL playoffs I have thought I was losing my mind when I believed there was a runner on second, when I didn't remember such a thing happening in the inning I was watching. I guess I chalked it up to distraction on my part or a glitch on theirs, but last night, when it kept happening, I got up close to confirm:
There's some kind of weird gradient under the graphic, but with the translucent bases it makes second appear lighter than the corners. Why? What is the purpose of this if not to confuse? It doesn't look any better.
Watching any sports besides the NBA on TNT Sports—formerly Warner Bros. Discovery Sports, formerly Turner Sports, formerly TBS Sports—already feels like a second-rate production. And humanity has been trying and failing to perfect the score bug since its invention in the shockingly recent year of 1992. But TBS's is notably bad. Too much going on. Less real estate given to important things like the score and the count than to the channel's logo. Unnecessarily showing the batter's performance so far in that game, which looks in many situations like the count—is Brayan Rocchio down 0-1 in the above instance, or is it all square at 2-2? Don't even get me started on the kerning.
But all of that pales in annoyance compared to the ghost on second base. One wonders how many design meetings, how many memos, how many higher-ups stuck their fingers in the stew, before it was decided that the best score bug was a misleading one. The worst part is: It wasn't like this last year. They made it worse!
Are there more important things to get mad about? Sure. Can any of them be fixed, this very moment, by one person in the right place bold enough to say, "Hey, this looks like shit"? Fix the score bug!

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.

NIA Report Reveal ISIS-Affiliated Members Behind Looting of ₹30 Lakh In Palakkad
Kochi: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) probe has revealed that an ISIS-affiliated group that has become active in Palakkad and Thrissur were involved in snatching ₹30 lakh from collection agents of a private finance company. The new findings point out that the terrorist group is deeply involved in swindling money and involve in larger financial crimes in the country.
The NIA submitted the findings before a court in Kochi while it was considering bail applications filed by two accused persons — M K Ashif and Shiyas T S, both hailing from Thrissur
The NIA court later dismissed the bail applications and ordered for further probe on the matter. In July 2023, NIA received information about an ISIS-affiliated group becoming active among Thrissur and Palakkad natives by trying to recruit more youngsters. A further probe led to the arrests of Ashif, Shiyas, Sayid Nabeel Ahammed, Rayees P A and Saheer E P.
The NIA probe revealed that Ashif and Sayid were active cadres of the Popular Front of India (PFI) and they acquired physical and arms training at a training centre in Green Valley, Manjeri. Ashif was involved in the murder of an RSS activist in 2008, while Sayid had taken part in a violent agitation conducted by PFI in the state. Later, they moved to Qatar and while working there, took part in the activities of the India Fraternity Forum (IFF) and the overseas wing of PFI. At IFF, they acquainted with Abu Tahir, who later joined Jabath al Nusrah, a terrorist group in Syria.
In 2016 while in Qatar, they were associated with a Keralite named Shihas alias Abu Bara, who later joined IS in Afghanistan and was accused in an NIA case registered in the same year. Both Ashif and Sayid also wanted to join ISIS in Syria and Afghanistan, but due to various restraints, they failed. They returned to Kerala and decided to engage in further activities of ISIS here.
After returning to Kerala, they decided to form an ISIS module here and recruited third accused Shiyas and were brainwashing fourth accused Rayees. The first accused pledged allegiance to ISIS by taking an oath in favour of Abu Al Qureshi, the then-global leader of a terror organization. Ashif started a Telegram group named ‘Pet Lovers’ to take the activities of ISIS forward in Kerala. The accused persons identified gullible youths and circulated pro-IS propaganda materials through social media platforms, said the NIA report submitted in the court.
The Detailed Order of The NIA Court While Denying The Bail
“It has been proved that they conspired to raise funds for furthering the activities of ISIS and perform ‘Hijrah’ by committing crimes as per the ‘Ghanimah’ ideology of looting the wealth of non-believers. “In furtherance of Ghanimah ideology, the first to third accused persons, conspired and decided to acquire wealth for the activities of the IS module by looting non-believers. The accused conducted a recce of Hindu temples and prominent persons of other communities for looting. As part of this, the first and second accused conspired with others and committed the robbery of Rs 30 lakh by attacking Prasanth, a collection agent of Indel Money and a native of Palakkad, on April 20, 2023,” stated the court order.

NordVPN, a popular VPN provider, operates over 6,400 ultra-fast VPN servers in 111 countries worldwide. Today, the company released its official app for Windows on ARM devices, making it one of the first VPN providers to offer native support for this platform. This includes devices like the latest Surface Pro series, Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge, Lenovo Flex 5G, HP Elite Folio, and Acer Spin 7.
With this new ARM-native app, users can enjoy enhanced performance when encrypting their internet traffic. While this initial release doesn't include the Threat Protection and Threat Protection Pro features, NordVPN plans to add them in future updates.
The new NordVPN Windows on ARM app supports French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Swedish, Dutch, and Polish languages. This release is a significant step towards broader ARM support in the VPN space.
Last month, another popular VPN service, ExpressVPN, announced the availability of its app for Windows on ARM PCs. ExpressVPN's app development journey for Windows on ARM is quite interesting. At first, ExpressVPN planned to develop an ARM-native application. Still, they changed their plans following the release of Microsoft’s new Prism emulator, which is available as part of the Windows 11 24H2 update.
The Prism emulator runs x86 apps with performance comparable to a native build. ExpressVPN's app UI and backend run in emulated mode, while the driver for their Lightway protocol is developed specifically for Windows on ARM devices.
Apart from Microsoft Office apps, Windows on ARM is finally gaining momentum, with several third-party app developers releasing their native apps. Several popular apps, including Chrome, Spotify, Zoom, WhatsApp, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, Blender, Affinity Suite, DaVinci Resolve, Arc browser, and many more, now run natively on ARM. Several popular apps, including Slack and Google Drive, are also coming soon.

Heidi Klum and Leni Klum Set Social Media Ablaze After 'Inappropriate' Mother-Daughter Lingerie Photoshoot
Heidi Klum and her daughter Leni Klum posed for pictures together while both wearing lingerie and social media has something to say.
The duo appeared together in several photoshoots for Italian lingerie brand Intimissimi Fall-Winter collection, where they showcased various lingerie sets. While the photos were meant to send the message of empowerment, many in the comment section of the post say the photos are "a bit weird."
When photos of the campaign were released on Instagram Monday, Intimissimi captioned the collection, "Lace that flatters, support that empowers – From generation to generation, #intimissimi celebrates every facet of femininity."
Leni also shared her excitement about the project on her Instagram, posting, "Our new @Intimissimiofficial campaign is OUT NOW! Look at the new collection online and in all Intimissimi stores! Excited to show you more of this perfect collection... Keep an eye out!"
On Heidi's Instagram, the 51-year-old model expressed how much she enjoyed working with her daughter, describing the collaboration as "so much fun" and urging her followers to explore the new collection.
One commenter questioned, "Am I the only one thinking this is a bit weird? ...Like who dresses up in lingerie with [their] mom and prances around taking pics?"
Others echoed similar sentiments, including one who wrote: "This is really weird and inappropriate ..... mother and daughter filming each other in lingerie?!!! What is this????" A third penned: "Quite strange to do this with your mum."
While criticism has been loud, some users defended the campaign, emphasizing that it was merely artistic modeling. One comment read, "They are just modeling. They are not making out. Mother and daughter modeling for the same brand." Still others questioned why people were viewing the campaign negatively at all.
One such defender wrote, "BEAUTIFUL and I don't understand the comments who say it is weird to do this with your mom. WHY? Do they eventually see the female body and lingerie as something always s3xual?" Another added, "There's nothing weird here, just art."
As of this writing, neither Heidi or Leni, 20, has addressed the backlash.

(MENAFN- PR Newswire)
SAN DIEGO and AUSTIN, Texas and HAMILTON, ON, Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Triumvira Immunologics , a clinical-stage company developing novel, targeted autologous and allogeneic T cell therapeutics that co-opt the natural biology of T cells to treat patients with solid tumors, today announced
the publication of a peer-reviewed article titled "Preclinical development of T cells engineered to express a T cell antigen coupler (TAC) targeting Claudin 18.2-positive solid tumors" in Cancer Immunology Research , a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. The article, authored by a team of scientists led by Dr. Andreas Bader, Triumvira's Consulting Chief Scientific Officer, details the preclinical pharmacology and safety of TAC01-CLDN18.2, a novel autologous T cell therapy targeting Claudin 18.2 for the treatment of solid tumors. TAC01-CLDN18.2 is currently the subject of a clinical Phase I/II study (TACTIC-3, NCT05862324 ).
"Our findings highlight the unique advantages of TAC01-CLDN18.2, which is designed to target and eliminate tumors with high specificity while minimizing the risk of adverse events that are commonly associated with T cell and other therapies," said Andreas Bader, Ph.D., Consulting Chief Scientific Officer of Triumvira Immunologics. "This research underscores our commitment to developing next-generation T cell therapies that are both effective and safe, and we are excited to continue exploring the clinical potential of TAC01-CLDN18.2 in treating patients with Claudin 18.2 positive solid tumors."
"Publishing this research is a significant milestone for Triumvira, as it reinforces the potential of our TAC technology, currently in the clinic for Claudin 18.2 positive tumors, to transform the treatment landscape for cancer patients," said Robert Williamson, President of Triumvira Immunologics. "We remain committed to bringing innovative, life-saving treatments to patients in need, and this publication is a testament to the rigorous science in the company and dedication of our team."
The study highlights the novel and proprietary T cell Antigen Coupler (TAC) technology from Triumvira Immunologics, a chimeric receptor that promotes tumor antigen-specific activation of T cells by leveraging the natural T cell receptor complex without causing tonic signaling. The preclinical results demonstrate that CLDN18.2-TAC T cells exhibit specific and durable anti-tumor activity across various in vitro and in vivo models of gastric, gastroesophageal, and pancreatic cancers. Importantly, the study reports high selectivity as these T cells did not induce notable off-target or on-target/off-tumor toxicities in these preclinical models, suggesting its potential safety and efficacy in clinical settings.
Key Findings
Specificity and Activity: TAC01-CLDN18.2 T cells demonstrated high specificity and potent cytotoxicity against Claudin 18.2 positive tumor cells in both 2D cultures and 3D tumor spheroids, including models with low antigen expression.
CLDN18.2-TAC T vs CLDN18.2 CAR-T: In a head-to-head comparison against CLDN18.2-directed 2nd-generation CAR T cells, CLDN18.2-TAC T cells exhibited greater proliferative capacity, lower levels and delayed onset of T cell exhaustion, and overall greater and longer-lasting cytotoxicity in a recursive tumor cell killing assay.
In Vivo Efficacy: In mouse models of gastric, gastroesophageal, and pancreatic cancers, TAC01-CLDN18.2 T cells effectively eradicated tumor xenografts, with durable efficacy observed in recursive killing and tumor rechallenge experiments.
Safety Profile: The preclinical data showed that TAC01-CLDN18.2 T cells did not induce notable off-target or on-target/off-tumor toxicities, as these cells were unreactive to human cells representing vital organs.
Durable Response: The research indicates that TAC01-CLDN18.2 T cells can induce a long-lasting anti-tumor response, supporting their potential as a safe and effective treatment for patients with Claudin 18.2 positive solid tumors.

This is Europa, a moon orbiting Jupiter.
It is located about 770 million kilometers away from Earth.
That is five times farther than the distance between the Sun and Earth.
Its size is about 90% that of the Moon, making it the sixth largest moon in the solar system.
Scientists estimate that there is a vast ocean beneath Europa's thick ice layer.
If sunlight, water, and organic materials exist, scientists are hopeful about the possibility of finding life on Europa.
NASA's spacecraft 'Europa Clipper', which will help answer that question, has departed from Earth.
Kim Kyung-soo reports from Washington.
[Report]
["3, 2, 1, Ignition."]
SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket lifts off with the unmanned spacecraft 'Europa Clipper'.
One hour after launch, the spacecraft successfully escaped Earth's gravity and began its long journey to Jupiter.
It plans to travel a staggering 2.9 billion kilometers over the next five and a half years and enter the orbit of Europa in April 2030.
Finding clues of life on Europa is the most important goal of this mission.
[Gina DiBraccio/Acting Director of NASA's Planetary Science Division: "Given everything that we have really learned about the necessary conditions for life, Clipper is going to tell us if Europa has all of these ingredients for life."]
For this grand journey across the solar system, the Europa Clipper is equipped with over 2 tons of propulsion systems.
With various exploration equipment and large solar panels installed, a massive spacecraft over 30 meters long and weighing more than 5 tons has been created.
[Jordan Evans/Project Manager for NASA's Europa Clipper: "We had to build these giant solar panels to capture the small amount of sunlight at Jupiter to power the spacecraft and that's led us to having the largest planetary spacecraft for NASA ever."]
The spacecraft's body features the names of 2.6 million people who applied from around the world, along with a poem by American poet Ada Limón.
The U.S. government has invested $5.2 billion, approximately 7 trillion won, into this project to find clues of life.

Pakistan Deploys 10,000 Security Personnel For SCO Summit In Islamabad
Islamabad: The 23rd Meeting of the SCO Council of Heads of Government (CHG) is all set to kick off on Wednesday in Pakistan's capital, Islamabad, with top-notch security measures in place.
With the arrival of foreign top officials, the security agencies are determined to prevent any disruptions and have amped up security in Islamabad, according to a report by Dawn.
To ensure the safety and security of the 23rd SCO summit in Islamabad, the Pakistan Army has been deployed to safeguard the event, key government buildings, and the Red Zone area.
Additionally, rangers have been stationed throughout the capital. As a precautionary measure, numerous businesses have been temporarily shut down to minimise security risks in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Key routes have also been closed.
Notably, the government has deployed over 10,000 police and paramilitary personnel for the security of about 900 delegates who are set to arrive for the event. The delegates will stay at different places in the capital located inside the 'Red Zone' or in the vicinity, as 14 locations in the capital have been arranged for their accommodation, Dawn reported.
A motorcade of 124 vehicles has been arranged to ensure transportation for guests. This fleet will be divided into two groups: 84 vehicles will escort the heads of states, while 40 vehicles will cater to other delegates.
With all delegations set to arrive today, a packed schedule awaits on Wednesday.
According to the programme, the participants will arrive on Wednesday morning at the Jinnah Convention Centre, where they will be received by Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. After group photos, PM Shehbaz will give his opening remarks, which are set to be followed by statements from other member states. A notable agenda of the day is "documents signing" before the PM offers the concluding remarks, Dawn reported.
On Wednesday afternoon, Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar and SCO Secretary General Zhang Ming will address the media. Following their press briefing, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will host "official luncheons" for the guests.
Earlier in the day, the Ministry of External Affairs said that the meeting would focus on the trade and economic agenda of the organisation.
"The 23rd Meeting of the SCO Council of Heads of Government (CHG) will be held on 16 October 2024 in Islamabad under the chairmanship of Pakistan. The SCO CHG meeting is held annually and focusses on the trade and economic agenda of the organisation," the MEA stated.
External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar will lead the Indian delegation at the 23rd Meeting of the SCO. He is set to arrive in Islamabad on Tuesday.
"India remains actively engaged in the SCO format, including various mechanisms and initiatives within the SCO framework," the release said.
The EAM had earlier said that he will not be going to Islamabad to discuss "India-Pakistan relations," but his visit is all about the multilateral event SCO Summit 2024. Jaishankar had also emphasised that he is travelling to Pakistan only to be a "good member of the SCO."
The Prime Minister of China Li Qiang, Prime Minister of Russia Mikhail Mishustin, Prime Minister of Belarus Roman Golovchenko, Prime Minister of Kazakhstan Olzhas Bektenov, Prime Minister of Kyrgyzstan Akylbek Zhaparov, Prime Minister of Tajikistan Akylbek Zhaparov, and Prime Minister of Uzbekistan Abdulla Nigmatovich Aripov, as well as the first Vice President of Iran Mohammad Mokhber be others representing the SCO member states during the summit, ARY News had reported.
The summit will also feature participation from Foreign Ministers and Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Turkmenistan as special guests, as well as the Prime Minister of Mongolia Oyun-Erdene Luvsannamsrai as an observer state.
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization is a permanent intergovernmental international organisation established on June 15, 2001 in Shanghai, China.
Key goals of the SCO include strengthening mutual trust between the Member States, encouraging cooperation in areas like trade, economy, science and technology, and jointly ensuring and maintaining peace, security and stability in the region.
Member countries of SCO include countries such as India, Iran, China, Pakistan and Russia. It has various other significant dialogue partners such as Bahrain, Egypt, Qatar, Maldives, Myanmar, UAE and Sri Lanka.

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

The Jets are a team that specializes in unfulfilled promise. The promise of the 2023 season was Aaron Rodgers's arrival, and was dashed the moment his Achilles tendon rolled up the back of his leg in the season opener. The start of this season brought even more promise: While Rodgers was out last year, the rest of the Jets' roster cohered into one of the league's more talent-rich outfits, and it wasn't hard to imagine a team that went 7-10 with Zach Wilson starting most of the games suddenly becoming a force after Rodgers reclaimed his position. A 2-3 start put a damper on things, but also opened the door for promises to be made. It was a coaching problem! With Robert Saleh shitcanned and Nathaniel Hackett stripped of his play-calling duties, the Jets would finally—finally!—be ready to transform into the great team their roster says they are supposed to be. Monday night's game against the Bills was a great opportunity for the Jets to finally start making good on some of those promises.
Did we see a transformed and re-energized Jets team on Monday night? Well, the offense looked better than it had. Todd Downing's play-calling opened some running lanes for Breece Hall that were previously hard to come by, and Rodgers had his best game as a Jet, throwing for 294 yards and two touchdowns. But is a team that is about to turn the corner one that loses 23-20 to a sputtering division rival at home? Is a team that has ironed out its inefficiencies one that nets one touchdown from four red-zone drives, gets repeatedly run over by Ray Davis and Ty Johnson, misses two field goals, and commits 11 penalties? The Jets under Saleh were a team that dropped way too many passes, drew way too many flags, and routinely undid itself with mistakes of all varieties. Our first look at the post-Saleh Jets indicates that this is still a team that drops way too many passes, draws way too many flags, and knows just how to undo itself with stupid mistakes.
The big fuck-up from Monday night's game was a holding penalty on Tyron Smith that negated a walk-in touchdown by Braelon Allen. Backed up to the 14, Rodgers threw an incompletion on third down, and then Greg Zuerlein doinked the field goal attempt. A drive that features first-and-10 at the opponent's 12 and ends up returning 0 points can be chalked up to rotten luck. This kind of thing has been happening often enough to the Jets over the last few years, however, that each instance becomes harder to read as anything other than the result of incompetence.
Even after all of that, though, the Jets were still in a good position to win the game. Down three with just under four minutes to play, the ball was in Aaron Rodgers's hands. He told reporters after the game that this was the type of game he was brought to New York to win. When Rodgers signed with the Jets, fans were probably not imagining too many one-score games ending with him tossing an underthrown interception.
And there the game ended, on one more mistake, one more poor choice or fine detail missed. When asked about the play during his postgame press conference, Rodgers implied that his throw was so bad because he thought that Mike Williams was running in one direction as he began his throwing motion, and then tried to alter the flight of the ball at the last second.
Rodgers finished the game with 294 passing yards, meaning that he still has not eclipsed the 300-yard mark in a single game since Week 14 of the 2021 season. Any form of belief in this Jets team has always been undergirded by the assumption that Rodgers, at age 40, is still one of the best quarterbacks in the league. He looked the part for a bit last night, even hitting one of his patented Hail Mary touchdowns to end the first half. But the enduring image of this game will be that of Rodgers limping up and down the field after taking one too many hits, and then sending everyone home with a panicked pass to the other team.
But hey, the good news is that there are always more promises to make. This morning, the Jets traded for Davante Adams. Once he and Rodgers get back on the field together, the NFL better watch out. This is a team that could go all the way to the top!

A Brooklyn-based rapper by the name of Ka passed away Saturday at 52 years old. His family confirmed the news in a statement shared to his Instagram.
"We are heartbroken to announce the passing of Kaseem Ryan (1972-2024), the rapper and producer known as Ka, who died unexpectedly in New York City on Oct. 12, at the age of 52. Born and raised in Brownsville, Brooklyn, Ka lived a life of service — to his city, to his community, and to his music," the statement read.
Ka started his underground rap career in New York City as part of the group Natural Elements. He later joined his friend Kev for the group Nightbreed before going solo, teaming with GZA for "Firehouse" and releasing his solo debut, Iron Works, in 2008. He released his last album, The Thief Next to Jesus, in August.
In addition to being a rapper, Ka worked for the New York City Fire Department for 20 years, serving as a responder during the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. Though he initially kept his fireman identity private, The New York Post made it public. He continued working as a firefighter up until his death.
Ka is survived by his wife, mother and sister.

Al Pacino on Being a New Dad at 84: 'I Want to Be Around for This Child'
Al Pacino says being a new father at 84 has been enjoyable.
The legendary actor, who recently welcomed his fourth child at the age of 83, says part of the reason for writing his autobiography, 'Sonny Boy,' was to give his son Roman Alfallah Pacino, now 16 months old, a way to learn about his life.
Reflecting on his past and the new phase of fatherhood, Pacino is optimistic about staying healthy and being present for his son, despite co-parenting with Roman's mother, Noor Alfallah, 30, whom he's no longer in a relationship with.
"I want to be around for this child. And I hope I am," he told the 'BBC' in an interview published Monday. "I hope I stay healthy, and he knows who his dad is, of course."
The East Harlem native described how Roman "does text me from time to time."
"Everything he does is real. Everything he does is interesting to me," he added. "So, we talk. I play the harmonica with him on the other video thing, and we have made this kind of contact. So, it's fun."
He also told 'PEOPLE' in an interview published last week how "it's just so wonderful to have children. For me, I loved it."
"It changed me for, if you want to say, the better. It changed me for life. And the idea that you're throwing your focus on other humans who happen to be your children ... there's the love," the father of four said.
When asked if being a new dad has been different this go-round, he answered: "Well, it's always the same. It's always the same. It's a mini miracle. That's all I can say."
"I love it, I'm very happy that I see my children. It's great," Pacino continued.
The 'Dog Day Afternoon' actor also spoke about his memoir and why he chose to write it at this point in his life. Despite some initial hesitation, he decided that after living such a full life, his story might be interesting enough for others to read. He enjoyed revisiting his childhood in New York's South Bronx and had no difficulty reflecting on his most famous films.
'The Godfather,' one of Pacino's most renowned movies, nearly didn't include him at all. He recalls almost being fired after just two weeks of filming because his performance was seen as underwhelming. Everything changed after filming the restaurant scene, where Michael Corleone kills a mob boss and a corrupt cop. This moment solidified his career and saved his role in the film.
Pacino also fondly reflected on his 1983 classic 'Scarface,' noting how the hip-hop community embraced the film and helped elevate it to cult status, despite its initial underperformance. He admitted that he would have liked to have been nominated for an Oscar for 'Scarface,' though he remains grateful for his win for 'Scent of a Woman.'

(MENAFN- PR Newswire)
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Woodruff Sawyer, one of the largest independent insurance brokerages in the US, announced the release of the
2025 Private Equity Looking Ahead Guide . With over 25 years of experience, Woodruff Sawyer is a trusted advisor to the private equity, venture capital, and M&A community, and provides counsel on 150+ transactions annually, spanning middle-market growth equity deals, strategic acquisitions, traditional private equity buyouts, and SPAC/de-SPAC transactions.

Attend our October 17 Webinar >>
As anticipated in last year's Guide, 2024 has proven to be a challenging year for dealmakers, though there are signs of improvement over 2023. Notably, Q2 2024 was the strongest quarter in two years, with 122 announced transactions at a valuation of $196 billion in enterprise value. However, the US private equity market remains significantly below the peak levels seen in 2021.
Despite the more challenging deal environment, private equity firms continue to deploy capital, primarily through smaller deals, add-on transactions, and exploring alternative sources of financing.
What do these macro trends mean for private equity firms conducting due diligence and closing deals from an insurance perspective? In short, insurance due diligence remains a crucial element. As deal teams and operating professionals seek to optimize EBITDA margins and mitigate risks to investment assets, a rigorous approach to insurance can provide a vital safeguard.
"Transactional risk and insurance due diligence advisory work are at the core of what we do, and these insights are embedded throughout our 2025 Looking Ahead Guide," says Luke Parsons, Partner and National Private Equity & Venture Capital Practice Group Leader at Woodruff Sawyer. "Often, insurance and employee benefits due diligence take a backseat to operational, legal, or financial diligence. But neglecting this aspect can leave acquirers and investors exposed to increased risks, that could negatively impact EBITDA in the short term and erode the long-term value of the asset. By involving expert insurance advisors in the due diligence process, companies can avoid these landmines, protect their investments, and ensure a smoother exit."
For a comprehensive analysis of the mergers and acquisitions landscape in 2025 and expert insights on what lies ahead, download the full Guide.

Citigroup Inc. Chief Executive Officer Jane Fraser said federal regulators have not placed any restrictions on the bank’s growth.
The clarification came after shares sank as much as 5% on Tuesday after Fraser said her bank is “working closely with our regulators” in response to repeated questions from Wells Fargo & Co. analyst Mike Mayo about whether the company has been slapped with an asset cap.
Regulators have dinged Citigroup in recent years for shortcomings in its risk and controls. In July, the Federal Reserve said the bank had made insufficient progress toward resolving a pair of consent orders that the central bank and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency had slapped on the bank in 2020.
“Let me be crystal clear: we do not have an asset cap and there are no additional measures other than what was announced in July in place, and we’re not expecting any,” Fraser said.
Shares of Citigroup were down about 3.5% after paring those earlier losses, which came after Fraser’s earlier response did not directly address a potential asset cap.
An asset cap is viewed as one of the most prohibitive penalties that banking regulators can place on US banks.
Mayo’s questions came as watchdogs recently announced in recent weeks that Toronto-Dominion Bank will pay almost $3.1 billion in fines and other penalties and face a cap on its US retail banking assets, after pleading guilty to failing to prevent money laundering by drug cartels and other criminals.

Appliances and consumer electronic major Samsung has welcomed trade body CITU's decision to call off over one month long strike at its Tamil Nadu-based plant and said it would not take any action against workers who merely participated in the strike.
Samsung India also thanked the Tamil Nadu government, which held extensive discussions with the concerned parties at various stages, according to a company statement.
"Samsung India welcomes CITU's decision to call off the illegal strike.
"We thank the government of Tamil Nadu for its support and welcome our workers who have decided to return to work unconditionally.
"We will not take action against workers who merely participated in the illegal strike," said a Samsung India spokesperson.
The spokesperson further said: "We are committed to work closely with our workers to make the Chennai factory a great place to work."
The 37-day strike by the employees of the Tamli Nadu-based plant was called off on Tuesday following extensive discussions between the representatives of trade union, the state government and the company's management.
The strike was called off after various departments held meetings with concerned parties at various stages and Samsung management announced several welfare measures in the interest of the workers, according to a statement issued by the Tamil Nadu government.

S Jaishankar Arrives In Islamabad To Attend 23rd Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Summit
The last Indian Foreign Minister to visit Pakistan was Sushma Swaraj. She had travelled to Islamabad in December 2015 to attend a conference on Afghanistan
New Delhi: External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar landed in Islamabad on Tuesday, marking the first visit by a senior Indian minister to Pakistan in years. The visit comes amidst a long-standing strain in India-Pakistan relations, fuelled by the Kashmir issue and cross-border terrorism.
Jaishankar was greeted at the Nur Khan airbase by senior Pakistani officials.
Jaishankar’s presence at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Council of Heads of Government (CHG) summit, hosted by Pakistan, has sparked speculation about the potential for a thaw in bilateral ties.
While both sides have ruled out any formal bilateral talks, the decision to send a high-ranking minister to Pakistan signals a willingness to engage within the SCO framework.
“The SCO CHG meeting is held annually and focuses on the trade and economic agenda of the Organisation,” the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said.
“External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will represent India at the meeting. India remains actively engaged in the SCO format, including various mechanisms and initiatives within the SCO framework,” it said in a brief statement in New Delhi.
The last visit by an Indian Foreign Minister to Pakistan was in December 2015, when Sushma Swaraj attended a conference on Afghanistan. Jaishankar’s visit, almost nine years later, reflects a shift in India’s approach towards engaging with Pakistan, albeit within the confines of multilateral diplomacy.
In the evening, Jaishankar is likely to attend a banquet reception to be hosted by Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to welcome the delegates from the SCO member nations, people familiar with the matter said.
In his recent address at an event, Jaishankar said “like with any neighbour, India would certainly like to have good relations with Pakistan.” “But that cannot happen by overlooking cross-border terrorism and indulging in wishful thinking.” The decision to send the senior minister is seen as a display of India’s commitment to the SCO.

S. Korea's professional volleyball league set to begin

This weekend, the men's professional volleyball league will also kick off, and Hyundai Capital, which has appointed the renowned French coach Blanc, has emerged as the top contender for the championship.
The media day scene looks a bit different from previous years.
With Hyundai Capital, Woori Card, and KB appointing foreign coaches, only two domestic head coaches remain seated in the middle: Kim Sang-woo of Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance and Kwon Young-min of Korea Electric Power Corporation.
Immediately after appointing the French coach Blanc, Hyundai Capital topped the KOVO Cup and was also named the top championship contender at the media day.
It will be interesting to see what results the foreign coach trend in the V-League will bring this season.

It's Spy Wednesday, almost 6 a.m. At the shipyard port in Buenaventura, the major port city in Colombia's Pacific region, the last wooden boats are about to depart for the Afro-Colombian communities along the Yurumanguí River.
Dozens of people embark on a journey that can last up to eight hours, crossing the Pacific Ocean, skirting cliffs and navigating through mangroves. Most passengers now live far from their native territory, displaced to the city due to economic instability, lack of health care access, education or the region's armed conflict.
Upon reaching the clear waters of the Yurumanguí River, wooden houses begin to appear along its banks. There are 13 settlements in the river basin, home to approximately 4,000 residents, mostly descendants of enslaved Africans and maroons brought to work in the mines between the 17th and 19th centuries.
In a context of geographic isolation and state neglect, where illegal armed groups have a substantial presence, the Afro community of Yurumanguí comes together despite intimidations to celebrate the Manacillos festival every Holy Week.
Far from tourists, this ancestral and unique ritual originated in Juntas, the uppermost village on the river, as an act of cultural resilience. During the festival, no one is allowed to work in the artisanal gold mines or the agricultural fields in the jungle.
In Juntas, the memory of slavery is alive. The Manacillos hold profound spiritual significance, reaffirming their African roots and resisting colonialism and imposed Catholicism through syncretism, creating a new collective cultural identity.
Manacillos: Spiritual beings
It's Maundy Thursday. The community has adorned the cobblestone streets and balconies with corozo palm leaves. Ayerson Valencia and Henry García finish sewing their Manacillos costumes with the help of female family members. Meanwhile, in the same room, some women braid their hair, paint their nails, and try on elegant dresses.
The typical Manacillo's costume is made of burlap sacks and banana leaves and is often adorned with colorful fabric patches. Additionally, every Manacillo wears a slender leather whip fastened to their waist, which they use to "punish" the other participants during the Manacillos' games.
Along with this, the rest of the costume consists of a distinctive and colorful mask carved from balsa wood sourced within their own jungle. In the backyard of his house, 15-year-old Henry applies the final touches to his mask, painting a red smile reminiscent of the Joker's.
The masks of the Manacillos transform the wearer into spiritual beings. “Every year, we decide what type of mask to paint, reflecting how we want to be perceived. Some evoke fear, others are humorous,” he says.
Meanwhile, some men are completing the construction of the Manacillos' house, a small wooden structure located in the center of the village that faces the church. Here, the group gathers to play traditional Manacillo songs, recharge with viche — a traditional alcoholic beverage of the Afro-Pacific communities — and plan their next activities. During the Manacillos' game, they attempt to steal Jesus' coffin, play pranks, tease passersby, steal objects and even “kidnap” locals, including babies, for ransom.
There is no age limit to become a Manacillo, as membership is inherited from parents by their sons or other close male relatives after they pass away. This year, the youngest member is 7-year-old Leandro Valencia, who inherited the role after his father, a leader in the community, died in exile. Over the next few days and nights, he plays his role tirelessly, just like a child.
Adolescents such as Henry, who has been playing the role for five years, feel a strong sense of pride: “I became a Manacillo to honor our ancestors and preserve our cultural heritage. My goal is to pass down this knowledge to the younger generation so that our traditions are not forgotten.”
Resistance through the traditional music
Holy Week is celebrated differently here. In their tradition, Jesus' death occurs at midnight on Thursday, not on Good Friday. The ritual begins with a procession of Jesus the Nazarene and is repeated nightly until Easter Sunday. During this religious syncretism, the village is shrouded in darkness, illuminated only by candlelight.
The village catechist, Delio Valencia, and the altar boys chant prayers while carrying leaf-adorned statues of Jesus and his mother, Mary. Leading the procession, a group of women sing soulful and loud salves and alabaos — traditional Afro community songs for religious rituals and funerals to bid farewell to the deceased. Their bodies sway with the rhythm.
At the front of the crowd, Luz Damaris García, a 49-year-old vocalist, sings with a deep, raspy voice. Tears glisten in her eyes as she holds her friend's arm. Both sway gently, harmonizing the lyrics and melody. "The salve is like a feeling. It reminds us of those who have departed," she says.
That night, the ceremonial procession visits the local cemetery, where three solitary souls, portrayed by trembling men in white sheets, descend from the sacred heights. Children hold their mothers' hands tightly, some crying, others laughing. They will sing their unique religious songs in the church until 4 a.m. The Manacillos will not appear until the next day.
The main outer wall of the church is adorned with a large painting of the last two social leaders who disappeared at the hands of armed groups. The painting includes the phrase, “We will die on the day we remain silent in the face of injustices."
One of the leaders was 79-year-old Delio’s son. "During prayers, we always entrust ourselves to them, who lost their lives to free the Yurumanguí River and liberate their people," he says.
The rules of the Manacillos' game
Originally, the Manacillos' ritual commemorated the passion, death and resurrection of Christ in their unique way. The group started with 12 men led by a Manacillo named Barrabás, after the Biblical figure, and has now grown to nearly 40. According to oral tradition, the Manacillos are the spirits of the Jews who betrayed and executed Jesus.
The Manacillos' play begins on Good Friday evening, and they are not allowed to sleep for the next 48 hours. Before singing, the masked men shout, “Death to God and long live Barrabás!” The rest of the community responds, “Long live God and death to Barrabás!”
The celebration begins with the drumbeat. A woman initiates a melodic chant: “On Holy Thursday, God died; on Friday, they buried him; on Saturday, they sang his glory; on Sunday, he ascended to heaven.” Other musicians join in with traditional instruments — bass drum, cununo and guasá, which sounds like water. The song is repeated several times.
Everyone is covered in sweat, the musicians seeming to merge with their instruments. The female singers and other participants repeat the song without showing signs of fatigue, their voices full of emotion. The music creates a mystical trance and euphoria among the participants. No other music is allowed until Easter Sunday; otherwise, the Manacillos will punish the offenders with whips.
Over the next few days, the entire community gathers in Juntas, captivated by the nocturnal warmth and viche spirits. Amid this fervor, the game's characters dance, leaping from side to side, holding their attires. The youngest members of the community move from house to house, singing in honor of the Manacillos.
“Music helps us preserve our identity amid the armed conflict. Today, many children prefer picking up an instrument over a weapon,” explains Franklin Valencia, an instrumental musician from the popular group Matachindé.
More than daily violence
During the Manacillos' dramatization, violent scenes occur as they are allowed to punish locals and vice versa. Many suggest that beneath the Manacillos' masks are community members affiliated with armed groups. These individuals get permission from their superiors during Holy Week to play the role before returning to the wilderness.
The festival enables improbable encounters in daily life. Civilians and soldiers from different armed groups come together in the same space without violence. Solange Bonilla Valencia, a Ph.D. student in social anthropology and a specialist in peace, culture and international humanitarian law, explains that in the tense conflict of Yurumanguí's river communities, violence takes on a spiritual dimension — a collective release.
“It’s a moment of catharsis, a chance to encounter the other. The fear of being struck with a whip is different from the fear of being killed with a firearm,” she says.
Amid the exuberant nature along the banks of the Yurumanguí River, prominent signs bearing the insignias and messages of the Jaime Martínez Group, an illegal armed faction of the demobilized guerrilla Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), appear every few kilometers upstream. The dissident group displays its presence and activity in the territory. The ever-present, yet hidden, eyes that intimidate the inhabitants.
The conflict among armed groups for control over this territory has intensified due to its strategic location for drug trafficking. The celebration has changed, and there is fear of losing ancestral traditions. “Many former Manacillos can no longer participate," Angulo explains. "Some were killed, others relocated due to insecurity."
Angulo, a 60-year-old human rights defender and active Manacillos leader who is identified only by his last name for his safety, as he plans on returning for future celebrations, spent several years away from his homeland due to the threats posed by the armed groups. Now, he is enthusiastic about the significant number of community members who have returned for the four-day celebration.
The Manacillos' festival is not only a moment of joy and a break from routine but also a time to remember deceased relatives, return to the territory and reinforce social ties. “I was raised in this jungle and then forced to leave, abandoning my children and traditions," he says. "That had a profound impact on me. Here, I feel good. I’m not a city man."
In late November 2021, two prominent social leaders, Abencio Caicedo and Edinson Valencia, were kidnapped by armed groups, plunging the community into distress and fear. Even the popular Manacillos festival was temporarily silenced by the residents' grief.
“The loss of a leader is a huge pain. Many have been killed, the most important leaders are lost, and we are left unprotected,” says Luz Damary.
The Yurumanguí River as a living entity
For the Yurumanguireños, the river is a living entity and an essential part of their community. Daily life revolves around its waters. Children learn to swim before they can speak. Women wash clothes and kitchen utensils in the river, which also serves as a natural shower and the main route for transporting wood, fish and fruits. The crystalline waters are surrounded by a lush, dense jungle that conceals sugarcane, plantain and corn fields, their primary sources of sustenance.
“Their primary concern is to safeguard the territory for future generations," Bonilla explains. "They emphasize the vital role of a thriving, preserved river in sustaining life. They warn that neglecting the river, especially through heavy machinery in gold mining, would deprive future generations of the essence of life itself."
"The river is life," the inhabitants of Juntas reiterate when asked about its significance. The sentiment is evident in their efforts to protect the river from external threats, a struggle that has claimed the lives of several social leaders.
It's Easter Sunday. After three sleepless nights, few seem tired. Once the rain stops, the Manacillos and the rest of the community — this time without the elderly or the children — march toward one of the river's beaches. Despite the previous night's alcohol, they skillfully cross the river. Some dive into the water while others fall asleep on the shore.
During the parade, the sound of the Manacillos’ songs resonates continuously, and everyone dances in ecstasy. This time, a few women, known as Manacillas, join them. Dressed in banana leaves and wearing straw hats adorned with colorful strips of plastic, they play their role while smoking prominent tobacco leaf cigars.
“Wearing the Manacilla attire brings me joy and fulfillment, connecting me deeply with memories of my grandmother," says 18-year-old Manacilla Camila García Valencia. "I am honored to uphold her legacy.”
The procession returns to the village, where children and the elderly gather around the church, dressed in their best clothes. As Jesus rises from the dead, the Manacillos throw themselves to the ground, acknowledging his resurrection. Now, they are believers.
Once inside the church, everyone dances to the rhythm of drums and bells. After several minutes, the instruments fall silent and the Manacillos retreat into the mystic world. Those behind the masks return to being ordinary people. The game between life and death ends in the ritual, but not in real life. “We are free here," Angulo says. "Look at the river! We just want more security in our territory.”

Jinger Duggar Vuolo Announces She's Pregnant with Baby No. 3 with Husband Jeremy Vuolo
The Vuolos are reportedly expecting their third bundle of joy!
Jinger Duggar Vuolo is currently pregnant with baby No. 3 along with her husband of eight years, Jeremy Vuolo.
According to 'PEOPLE, the TV personality and author is due in March 2025.
"We're super excited," Jiner, 30, gushed per the media outlet.

"I'm actually all about it. Especially in the heat the past few days, I think I'm not super big pregnant and so I'm not having to worry about the extra heat," she said of being grateful she's not pregnant during the hot months. "I'm like, 'Oh man, this is going to be such an awesome thing to go through pregnancy, not in the summer.' "
On the other hand, her husband noted that even though the news was somewhat expected, the confirmation was still shocking.
"When she told me, I was literally speechless," former soccer player Jeremy, 37, told the outlet.
"She got me good. It was on Felicity's birthday. Jinger says, 'I've got a gift for you.' It was in an Amazon bag. So I'm thinking, 'What did she get from Amazon for me?' Then I open it up and it's the positive result, and I'm actually speechless."
As the two already share two children — daughters Felicity Nicole, 6, and Evangeline Jo, 3 — the couple admitted they wanted to find the right way to break the exciting news. "We planned to get family pictures to announce the pregnancy and thought that would be the best time to let our girls know about their new sibling on the way," Jinger stated.
"We got Felicity and Evangeline each a denim jacket with the words, 'BIG SIS' on the back. The photographer captured the sweet moment when they realized what those words meant," she added.
The former '19 Kids and Counting' star says her and her husband are simply "enjoying life together as a family" before their newborn arrives.
"I mean, I felt like I was set with two, but I don't know. Three was kind of what we had always said was a really good number," the mother explained. "So three or four. I don't know. But I think three is what I'm leaning towards right now."
Since tying the knot back in 2016, Jeremy wears the title of "Girl Dad" as a badge of honor, revealing that being parents of little girls is incredible. That said, the two admitted to being curious about parenting a little boy.
"If it was another little girl — being a girl dad has been incredible," Jeremy said of their next child. "We're happy either way!"

OnePlus 13 is expected to launch later this month in China, with previous leaks suggesting that it could pack the biggest battery of all flagships. The OnePlus 13 is rumored to have the same display size as the OnePlus 12. However, as per the details shared by OnePlus in today's announcement, the OnePlus 13 is set to offer more advanced features than its predecessor.
OnePlus and BOE, the manufacturer of the OnePlus 13's display, revealed interesting information about the upcoming flagship's display. One of the standout features is the local high refresh rate, a potential game changer that rival brands should incorporate in their flagships.
The OnePlus 13's display supports a local high refresh rate feature, which means that different areas of the same display can run at different refresh rates. Current smartphones can run at a variety of refresh rates, but they apply to the entire screen. With OnePlus and BOE's latest technology, variable refresh rates can be used for different parts of the display.
OnePlus notes that thanks to the local refresh rate feature, the OnePlus 13 will offer more accurate color matching, smoother viewing, and better UI operation. Another benefit of this new display tech is that it will help reserve more battery since high refresh rates consume more battery.
Moreover, a local high refresh rate will allow users to view YouTube videos at a high refresh rate, whereas other UI/elements run at a lower refresh rate. Also, using apps in split screen can be another use case, where you can read a Kindle book at a low refresh rate, while the browser can run at a high refresh rate.
Aside from a local high refresh rate, the OnePlus 13 display is also claimed to have a "sun display," which would offer accurate colors and visibility even in harsh sunlight compared to its competitors. The phone is expected to launch with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor and could debut next year in the global market.

Pfizer Inc. and Albert Bourla got the upper hand in an early skirmish against Starboard Value LP — but the drugmaker and its embattled chief executive face a long war against an activist that hates to lose.
On Wednesday, Bourla is expected to sit down with Starboard after reports early last week that the investment firm had amassed a $1 billion stake in the $165 billion drugmaker and allied with two former Pfizer executives to help push for changes.
Ian Read and Frank D’Amelio, Pfizer’s former CEO and finance chief, respectively, had multiple conversations with Starboard and agreed with many points raised in a 50-plus page slide deck critiquing the company, according to people familiar with the matter. In a bizarre twist, it emerged that D’Amelio may have tipped off Pfizer by sending a blank email to Bourla that was also addressed to someone at Starboard.
At first, analysts were openly asking whether Bourla himself could be pushed out. “Investors would not mind an executive refresh,” Mizuho Securities analyst Jared Holz wrote in a note to clients.
Then Read and D’Amelio abruptly reversed course and said they supported Pfizer’s management in an oddly timed, late-night news release on Wednesday from an investment bank they used to work with but didn’t appear in any way connected to the Starboard activism push.
The mystery around their sudden change of heart didn’t last long. Early Thursday morning, Starboard accused Pfizer of coercing the men, claiming that the company threatened to claw back some of the executives’ pay and cancel some of their stock options. Starboard called on Pfizer’s board to investigate the company’s actions.
Getting two of Pfizer’s most respected former leaders back in the fold — for now — was a victory for Bourla. However, it’s unlikely to make questions about his leadership go away. If anything, it raises new ones about how he’s managing the company. Meanwhile shares of the drugmaker have fallen by more than 50% since late 2021, when Pfizer was riding high from bringing its Covid vaccine to market.
Bourla had banked on the idea that demand for Covid shots and treatments would last longer than it did. Flush with cash from selling vaccines and antiviral treatments to governments around the world, Pfizer embarked on a $70 billion string of deals.
But as quickly as the pandemic pushed Pfizer to the top of the pharmaceutical industry, the end of the global public health emergency has swept the company’s legs out from under it. Sales of Covid therapies have dropped radically — and a recent flurry of drug approvals for Pfizer hasn’t yet been enough to fill the void.
Starboard thinks Pfizer mismanaged its pandemic windfall with costly deals that haven’t paid off. Read and D’Amelio informed Pfizer’s board that Starboard is focused on controlling costs and being more disciplined about deals, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Starboard hasn’t commented publicly on its plans for Pfizer. A Starboard representative declined to comment.
A Pfizer spokesperson declined to comment.
Multiple Setbacks
Bourla had already promised $4 billion of cost reductions last year and put forward plans for $1.5 billion more in cuts in 2024. Yet that hasn’t been enough to appease investors who have worried that Pfizer missed the boat on booming demand for obesity treatments and misspent in other places.
As Covid revenues withered, Pfizer’s efforts to develop an obesity pill haven’t yet lead to much. It also botched the rollout of a promising RSV vaccine last fall, allowing rival GSK Plc to snatch a big slice of a market that Pfizer was counting on to offset slowing Covid sales.
“We used to be this star. We used to be the pride of the pharma industry,” Bourla said in January. “We ended up in a situation that very rapidly deteriorated.”
Pfizer’s biggest deal under Bourla, the $43 billion purchase of cancer-drug maker Seagen last year, will take years to pay off. The company hopes to have eight cancer drugs with more than $1 billion in sales by 2030, up from five today. That won’t immediately address the sales drain the company is now facing.
Mark DesJardine, an associate professor at Dartmouth College’s Tuck School of Business, said Bourla has overspent on deals that “haven’t paid off.” DesJardine said Pfizer’s board shoulders some of the blame, as it should have had better monitoring in place to prevent spending from getting out of control.
On Tuesday, a day before Pfizer and Starboard are expected to meet, the drugmaker appointed former Vanguard Group Inc. CEO Tim Buckley to its board of directors effective immediately. Buckley, 55, will join the board’s governance and sustainability committee and audit committee, according to a statement.
Pfizer is facing competition for bestsellers like breast-cancer therapy Ibrance and pneumococcal vaccine Prevnar, and it has suffered multiple setbacks with rare-disease drugs that could have made up for lost revenue. A gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy failed a big trial in June and a sickle cell anemia drug had to be recalled in September due to safety problems.
Gradual Climb
Trained as a veterinarian, Bourla joined Pfizer in 1993 and gradually climbed through the executive ranks. When he was president and general manager of Pfizer’s established products unit from 2010 to 2013, D’Amelio was sometimes critical of his deal-making, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Still, for years, Read and Bourla were close, so much so that other employees used to joke that Read treated him like a son, the person said.
A pivotal moment in Bourla’s ascent came in 2013, when Pfizer reorganized into three operating units. Bourla wasn’t originally picked for a leadership role, but then the executive slated to head the cancer and vaccines unit abruptly stepped down. Bourla got the job and was on the way to becoming Read’s handpicked successor.
Going into the pandemic, Pfizer’s prospects were uncertain. Sales had declined 4% in 2019, and the stock fell 10% during the first year of Bourla’s tenure. But Covid changed everything.
Bourla bet big on messenger RNA technology with partner BioNTech SE, taking advantage of Pfizer’s manufacturing might and clinical-trial prowess to be the first company to get a vaccine to market. Pfizer captured the majority of worldwide Covid shot sales and quickly followed up with the now widely prescribed antiviral drug Paxlovid.
At their peak in 2022, Pfizer’s Covid products had more than $56 billion in combined sales. That is expected to shrivel to under $9 billion for 2024.
Pipeline Pressure
Cost cuts alone won’t solve Pfizer’s larger malaise — the lack of obvious big new hits to replace its Covid sales.
As the pandemic ebbed, Bourla struck a series of deals to try to replenish Pfizer’s pipeline. He bought sickle cell anemia drugmaker Global Blood Therapeutics Inc. for $5.4 billion 2022, but the lead drug from that deal was recalled in September after a trial found a higher death rate in people who took it. Other deals brought in less groundbreaking medicines, such as a $11.6 billion pact for migraine drugs from Biohaven Pharmaceuticals in 2022.
Bourla next turned to obesity pills. At the JPMorgan Healthcare Conference in 2023, he vowed that Pfizer could capture $10 billion in annual sales by developing obesity and diabetes pills that mimicked Ozempic, the hit drug from Novo Nordisk A/S.
Five months later, Pfizer stopped testing one pill due to liver-related side effects. By the end of the year, a twice-daily version of a second pill was shelved. The company is still testing a new formulation of the second pill, but analysts no longer view it as a top contender in the race for next generation obesity drugs.
Bourla also gave up control of an experimental bowel drug shortly before its value soared. In December 2022, Roivant Sciences Ltd. acquired US rights to the treatment in exchange for giving Pfizer a 25% stake in a company formed to develop it. A year later, Roche Holding AG bought the Roivant subsidiary for $7.1 billion. Roivant received $5.2 billion of that, according to its securities filings.

The Election Commission on Tuesday announced that bypolls to nine of the 10 vacant assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh, except Milkipur of Ayodhya district, will be held on November 13.
This has invited sharp reaction from the Opposition, with the Samajwadi Party saying that the BJP was afraid of its defeat in Milkipur due to which it moved the court for "stalling" polls on the assembly seat.
Bypoll to the Milkipur assembly seat was not announced as an election petition is pending in the high court against the candidate who had won the seat earlier.
The assembly seats where bye-elections will be held are Katehari, Karhal, Meerapur, Kundarki, Phulpur, Sisamau, Ghaziabad, Majhawan and Kahir.
Eight of these assembly seats fell vacant after its MLAs were elected to the Lok Sabha, while the bypoll in Sisamau is being held due to the disqualification of SP MLA Irfan Solanki, who was convicted in a criminal case.
In the 2022 assembly polls, Sisamau, Katehari, Karhal, Milkipur and Kundarki were held by the SP, while the BJP had won Phulpur, Ghaziabad, Majhawan and Kahir. The Meerapur seat was held by the RLD.
The SP has raised question over not declaring bypoll to Milkipur seat.
"Whoever has postponed the war, consider that he has lost the war," SP president Akhilesh Yadav said in a post on X in Hindi.
SP spokesperson Anurag Bhadauria said, "When election is being held on nine seats, why it can't be held on the 10th seat -- Milkipur. What report the state government has given to the EC. It should be made clear."
Party leader Manoj Yadav said the BJP is afraid of its defeat in Milkipur due to which it has approached court for stalling poll on this seat.
"The BJP has moved the court for stalling Milkipur bypoll. It shows it is afraid of the SP. Our INDIA bloc will win maximum seats in the state," Yadav said.
Congress spokesperson Manish Hindvi, when asked about the bypolls, told PTI, "The BJP suffered humiliation after its defeat in Faizabad Lok Sabha seat. That is why the election on Milkipur seat of Ayodhya was not declared."
About the nine seats on which bypolls are declared, he said, "INDIA bloc will win these seats."
However, the BJP has defended the EC's decision on Milkipur seat.
"The licence of the person who got the notary done in the nomination filed by SP's Awadhesh Prasad, who won Milkipur in the 2022 assembly elections, was revoked five years ago. Against this, two candidates Gorakhnath and Ram Murti had filed a petition in the court, which has not been disposed of yet. That is why bypoll was not declared on this seat," BJP spokesperson Harischandra Srivastava told PTI.
UP minister Dayashankar Singh said the Opposition had misled people in the 2022 polls by saying that the BJP would be changing the Constitution, but this would not work now.
"We will win on all the seats in the bypolls," Singh said.
While Karhal seat fell vacant after SP chief Yadav was elected from Kannauj as MP, Katehari fell vacant following the election of party's Lalji Verma to the Lok Sabha from Ambedkar Nagar.
SP leader Awadhesh Prasad's election to the Lok Sabha from Faizabad (Ayodhya) led to his resignation from Milkipur seat, while SP leader Zia ur Rahman Barq's Kundarki assembly seat in Moradabad has fallen vacant following his election to the Sambhal Lok Sabha seat.
Chandan Chauhan of Rashtriya Lok Dal resigned from his Meerapur assembly seat of Muzaffarnagar following his election to Lok Sabha from Bijnor.
Similarly, the Ghaziabad assembly seat fell vacant after BJP's Atul Garg was elected to the Ghaziabad LS seat.
BJP's Vinod Kumar Bind resigned from his Majhawan assembly seat of Mirzapur following his election to Lok Sabha from Bhadohi, while party leader Anoop Singh alias Anoop Pradhan Balmiki left Khair assembly seat of Aligarh following his election from Hathras Lok Sabha seat.
BJP's Praveen Patel resigned from Phulpur assembly seat of Prayagraj following his election to the Lok Sabha from Phulpur.
In the 2022 assembly elections, out of these 10 seats, the BJP had given Majhawan and Katehri to the ally Nishad Party, which won in Majhawan but lost in Katehari.
The Samajwadi Party has already announced the names for six assembly seats, including Karhal (Mainpuri), Sisamau (Kanpur Nagar), Milkipur (Ayodhya), Katehari (Ambedkarnagar), Phulpur (Prayagraj) and Majhawan (Mirzapur).

Why Justin Trudeau Chose To Escalate Diplomatic Row With India Now
New Delhi: Justin Trudeau’s unprecedented aggression towards India comes at an interesting time. As much as he claims non-cooperation from the Indian government and the involvement of “agents” in the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the events coincide with the upcoming elections before which the Canadian prime minister is witnessing a decline in his popularity ratings.
Tensions between India and Canada escalated again after the Justin Trudeau administration expelled six Indian diplomats, claiming they were involved in a targeted campaign against Canadian citizens. The actions stems from the Canadian prime minister's claim that Indian government agents were involved in the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, designated a terrorist by New Delhi.
The ratings before elections also come with the growing dissent against his government from Canadians over his economic policies which is widely believed to be the reason for Trudeau to influence the politically-strong Sikh community in the country.
Trudeau’s Declining Ratings Before Elections
Amid growing concerns over the rising cost of living, a struggling healthcare system, and increasing crime rates, an Ipsos poll revealed that only 26% of Canadians view Justin Trudeau as the best candidate for Prime Minister, placing him 19 points behind Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre.
This decline follows two electoral defeats for the ruling Liberal Party. Last month, they lost a historically secure seat in Montreal, just three months after losing a special election in Toronto, a seat they had held for 30 years. To compound matters, Jagmeet Singh’s New Democratic Party, which had been supporting the minority Liberal government, withdrew its backing just before the Montreal defeat. Singh has been a vocal supporter of Khalistan.
Trudeau now faces internal pressure from party colleagues urging him to step down, with some experts predicting the Liberals could face the same fate as the Conservatives in the UK. Despite these challenges, Trudeau remains in office after surviving two no-confidence votes in Parliament.
Sikhs In Canada And Trudeau’s Separatist Vote Bank
Canada’s more than 7.7 lakh Sikh population is the country’s fourth-largest ethnic community, with a faction supporting the Khalistan movement.
India has always taken objection to Justin Trudeau’s approach to pro-Khalistan separatists. During his first official visit to India in 2018, Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Trudeau only on the sixth day, amid controversy over a dinner invitation from the Canadian high commission to businessman Jaspal Atwal. Atwal had been convicted, though later acquitted, for his involvement in a 1986 assassination plot against a Punjab minister on Vancouver Island. The invitation was eventually withdrawn as Trudeau tried to distance himself from the controversy.
However, Trudeau’s stance on the issue remained unchanged, as his government refused to crack down on protests outside Indian consulates, where some pro-Khalistan demonstrators were seen burning the Indian flag.
Indira Gandhi’s Assassination Float Row
Earlier this year, On the 40th anniversary of Operation Bluestar, processions in Ontario and Toronto showed floats depicting the 1984 assassination of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by her bodyguards. The Canadian government declined to intervene in a Khalistan referendum supported by Sikhs for Justice.
Hardeep Singh Nijjar Assassination
Relations between India and Canada hit a new low after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused “Indian agents” of being involved in the June 2023 killing of terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Trudeau made these accusations shortly after returning from the G20 Summit in New Delhi in September. India strongly denied the allegations and requested concrete evidence, which Canada has yet to provide.
In response, both nations paused negotiations on a trade agreement, and India temporarily suspended visa processing, citing concerns for the safety of its diplomatic staff in Canada. Following this, over 40 Canadian diplomats were withdrawn from India after New Delhi invoked the principle of staffing reciprocity.
Canada also sought to include India in a broader investigation into alleged election interference. During a meeting with Trudeau on the sidelines of the G20 Summit, PM Modi voiced concerns about anti-India activities by extremists in Canada.
This is not the first time that separatist movements have strained India-Canada relations. Former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, Justin Trudeau’s father, faced similar accusations of mishandling ties with New Delhi when Canadian authorities failed to take action against Khalistani extremists in the 1980s.
One notable incident involved Canada’s refusal to extradite Talwinder Singh Parmar, a member of terror outfit Babbar Khalsa, at India’s request. Parmar had fled to Canada after being accused of killing two police officers in Punjab. He was later implicated as a mastermind in the 1985 Kanishka bombing and was killed in Punjab seven years later.

The obesity treatment drug Wegovy, which has gained great popularity in the United States, has been launched in South Korea.
The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety has stated that it is an obesity treatment drug for patients with severe obesity and has reported side effects, urging caution against misuse.
Our medical specialist Park Kwang-sik reports.
[Report]
A man in his 30s, severely obese with a height of 179 cm and a weight of 109 kg.
He visited the hospital upon hearing the news of the launch of the obesity treatment drug 'Wegovy'.
[Lee Seok-hoon/Seongnam resident: "I heard that people like Elon Musk are using Wegovy and that it is very effective. If that's the case, I would like to try it…."]
The injectable 'Wegovy' has entered the domestic market about three years after its initial launch in the United States in 2021.
It has been found that 67% of patients with severe obesity visiting domestic obesity clinics want a prescription for Wegovy.
The secret to its popularity lies in its excellent effectiveness and convenience.
The weight loss effect of 'Wegovy' is an average of 14.9%, which is twice as high as the existing obesity treatment drug 'Saxenda'.
Unlike Saxenda, which requires daily injections, Wegovy only needs to be administered once a week.
[Kim Jung-eun/Family Medicine Specialist: "The direct effect of Wegovy is to increase feelings of fullness and reduce appetite, thereby decreasing intake. It allows for stable diet maintenance for a week with just one administration…."]
The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety emphasizes that 'Wegovy' is not just a simple diet supplement but an obesity treatment drug that requires a doctor's prescription.
The prescription targets are patients with a body mass index of 30 or higher, or those with a BMI over 27 who have related conditions such as hypertension.
Side effects should also be considered.
In clinical trials, side effects such as vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, gallstones, hair loss, and acute pancreatitis have been reported.
Moreover, the monthly cost that patients have to pay is around 800,000 won, which is a significant financial burden.
In line with the domestic launch of Wegovy, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety anticipates attempts at illegal distribution through social media and online platforms, and plans to conduct a focused crackdown for a month.

Paul Mescal's 'Gladiator' Photoshoot Is Making the Internet Thirsty
Paul Mescal says he thought rumors that he had a habit of running away after one-night stands were funny until they reached his mother and "upset" her.
Mescal, 28, opened up about life in the public eye in an interview for GQ's November cover story, and the interviewer asked about the rumors, which claimed the "Gladiator II" star had a habit of having one-night stands then disappearing early in the morning.
The Irish actor, who is currently dating Gracie Abrams, said the rumors were "categorically untrue," which made them all the more funny to him and his siblings. Paul told the outlet he and his brother and sister were "pissing ourselves" and "laughing, laughing, laughing" at videos about the rumors on social media.
But one family member didn't find them funny: Paul's mother, Dearbhla Mescal.
"The one thing that upset me was that I was in the kitchen, I remember my mum looking at the videos and she was getting upset," he explained. "Isn't that devastating?"
Mescal said he and his siblings were able to find the humor in the rumors "because we know that this is the way the internet works. It's hilarious. If it was true, it'd be f***ing bad, but as a rumor, it's funny."
The "Normal People" star said that as his fame has grown, he has had to draw "certain lines in the sand" that "are going to be impenetrable for the benefit of my own sanity."
"I mean, the speculation has been kind of mad for the last x amount of years," he said. "I'm not comfortable inviting any access into that part of my life. How I am in my private life is so precious to me because I get very little of it, and it might be public interest, but it's not public-obligated information."
The photoshoot also had fans going wild.

Google is rolling out a bunch of new features and improvements for its YouTube apps and services across all of its supported platforms. They include a new feature that will likely be welcomed by many users: a sleep timer.
In its YouTube blog post, Google stated that the new sleep timer feature, which was included for people who paid for a YouTube Premium subscription earlier this year, is now available for all YouTube mobile users.
Now, if you take your smartphone or tablet to bed and watch some clips at night, you can set up the app so that it shuts down automatically if you drift off into sleep. There are preset time limits ranging from 10 minutes to an hour, or you can set the app to go off after the end of a video.
YouTube is also improving the mini-player function for its mobile apps. Now, you can move the mini-player in the YouTube app so you can browse the other video selections while still watching your video. You can also resize the mini-player.
YouTube playlists are getting some changes as well. Users can send a link to others in the mobile app to help with the creation of playlists. YouTube TV app users will soon be able to add to their playlists as well with a QR code. Sometime later in 2024, users will also be able to vote for videos in playlists. Google added:
We’re also introducing new customization tools to give playlists a personal touch. Users can design their own custom thumbnails for playlists using their own photos or create new ones with generative AI.
Also, later this year, both the YouTube and YouTube Music mobile apps will support adding special badges to celebrate certain milestones for users, such as being a top listener for a creator's music.
Some of the other smaller updates for YouTube apps being rolled out include ways to change the playback speed of videos down to 0.05 increments and some visual improvements to the app that Google says help to simplify the experience.

Lizzo has been out of the spotlight musically for awhile, but she's been keeping an eye on the charts — and she says what's been happening is literally something she's been praying for.
Speaking to Fortune at the publication's Most Powerful Women Summit in California, Lizzo said when she first got into music, she was a rapper, so she was constantly asked, "How do you feel about being a female rapper in a male-dominated industry?"
"I started to resent that question," she continued. "And I would answer, ‘You know what, my dream is that one day there are so many women that are dominating in the industry that you can fill an entire festival slot with just women.’ And that dream has come true.”
Lizzo said artists like SZA and Chappell Roan are "redefining the music industry," adding, "It's an incredible time to be a woman, an artist, and a fan. Fans are getting fed right now because there's so much great music out, and I'm so proud of my contemporaries and my sisters."
Lizzo's appearance at the summit marked one of her first public appearances since she was accused by former employees of, among other things, creating a toxic work environment. She has denied all allegations. According to Fortune, Lizzo told the summit that she wasn't afraid of being canceled anymore, joking that she "has pretty much been canceled for everything."
The "About Damn Time" singer also told the summit attendees that she'd already voted, for Kamala Harris. She posted footage of herself voting by mail wearing a Harris/Walz cap and a T-shirt that read, "It's about MAdam Time."

Captain Ashalata Devi will become the first Indian woman footballer to play 100 international matches when she takes the field in the SAFF Championship opening match against Pakistan in Kathmandu on Thursday.
The 31-year-old Manipuri made her India debut in the pre-Olympics tournament in Dhaka against Bangladesh in March 2011, and the star defender has come a long way since then.
"When she pulled on an Indian shirt for the first time ... in the pre-Olympics in Dhaka against Bangladesh in March 2011, few would have imagined that Ashalata Devi would take Indian women's football by storm in quite the way she has," the All India Football Federation (AIFF) said while hailing Devi's feat.
Devi was called up for the India U-17 team in 2008 when she was 15.
Born in Imphal, she began playing football at the age of 13. She was initially with the Indian Railways football team and joined New Radiant Women's Football Club of Maldives in 2015.
Later, she played for Rising Student Club (Cuttack), KRYPHSA (Imphal), Sethu (Madurai) and Gokulam Kerala in the Indian Women's League. She is currently with East Bengal.
"I am excited and happy that I will play my 100th game against Pakistan. The focus, however, will be on winning all the games and taking the trophy back home. This is the main dream and motive for coming to Nepal,” Ashalata said after reaching here for the SAFF Championships.
"I am looking forward to all the matches in the championship because it is an extremely important tournament to us. We already suffered a setback in the last SAFF, but it will be different this time," she said in an AIFF release.
In the 2022 edition, India, then considered as overwhelming favourite, failed to defend the title.
"This is the sixth time I will play in SAFF. We were champions four times. I want to win this year's title for us because it's a special championship for me. We are determined to prove ourselves," she said.
Devi was a part of the Indian team that won two South Asian Games gold medals in 2016 and 2019. She was also part of the team that won the SAFF Women's Championship four times consecutively - in 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2019.
She was one of the nominees for the AFC women's player of the year in 2019 and was named the AIFF women's player of the year for 2018–19.

Myung Tae-kyun revealed today (10.15) the messenger conversation he had with First Lady Kim Keon-hee in the past.
The presidential office stated that the messenger conversation in question was a private exchange that took place before the president joined the party.
Reporter Lee Yoon-woo has the details.
[Report]
Myung Tae-kyun, pointed out by Kang Hye-kyung as having intervened in the nomination process along with First Lady Kim Keon-hee.
While criticizing the ruling party's Kim Jae-won, he disclosed the past messenger conversation he had with the First Lady.
According to the released content, Myung said, "When we meet Jun-seok tomorrow, we will get a clear answer," followed by a message from the First Lady saying, "Please forgive my brother who talks immaturely."
The presidential office clarified that the term "brother" refers to the First Lady's "biological brother."
They emphasized that the messages were private conversations exchanged before the president joined the party.
The Democratic Party criticized whether the brother of the First Lady, who holds no public position, should be involved in meeting with then-party leader Lee Jun-seok, claiming that regardless of who the "brother" is, it constitutes "state affairs manipulation."
In a phone call with KBS, Myung explained that it was a "conversation from the 2021 primary" and that "brother" refers to the "biological brother."
[Myung Tae-kyun: "No, I keep saying it's the biological brother, why do you keep saying President Yoon?"]
People Power Party leader Han Dong-hoon reiterated the need for the revival of the Second Office, personnel renewal in the presidential office, and the suspension of external activities by the First Lady.
[Han Dong-hoon/People Power Party Leader: "I believe it is necessary to quickly and definitely implement the measures I have already mentioned."]
Kim Jae-won, a senior member of the People Power Party who is in a verbal dispute with Myung, stated that he suspects the reason behind Myung's actions and vowed to ensure he faces appropriate punishment.

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

Tito Jackson 71st Birthday Honored By Family In Heartfelt Tribute Celebrating His 'Life And Legacy'
The Jackson family shared a heartfelt birthday tribute to the late Tito Jackson, a beloved member of The Jackson 5.
The family announced that October 15 would have been the iconic singer's 71st birthday, as they commemorated his "incredible life and legacy, but most of all his beautiful spirit."
Toriano Adaryll Jackson — a.k.a. "Tito" — passed away on September 15 after suffering a reported heart attack while driving to Oklahoma from New Mexico, per 'The New York Times.'
The musician had recently moved to a ranch located in Claremore, about 25 minutes northeast of Tulsa, per the media outlet.
"His presence will always be deeply missed, but his music, kindness, and love will forever live on in our hearts. Tito brought so much joy to the world, both as a member of The Jackson 5 and The Jacksons, and as an amazing father, brother, son, uncle and friend who touched the lives of many.
"As we honor him and commemorate his first heavenly birthday, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has shown support and love during this challenging time. Your words of comfort and the respect for our family's privacy has meant the world to us."
The post continued: "Tito's legacy will continue to inspire, and we are forever grateful to have shared in his remarkable journey. Today, let's remember Tito "Poppa T" Jackson. Not just today, but every day, there will still be 'Tito Time'."
Fans in the comment section shared their love and support for the late entertainer's birthday, some of which revealed that they were still heartbroken. "Happy Birthday, Tito. Wherever you are, I hope our thoughts reach you," one fan wrote.
Tito's son, TJ, 46, was also spotted in the comments showing gratitude for his father, stating: "I miss you pops. I love you pops. Thank you for all you did for us [love heart emoji]." The post featured a highlight reel of performances, group shots, and family photos.
'ENSTARZ' reported of the singer's passing back in September, which left the entertainment world in mourning. "It's with heavy hearts that we announce that our beloved father, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Tito Jackson is no longer with us," the siblings wrote in their announcement at that time.
The family took time to thank fans for their "continued support" and for "Keeping Tito's spirit alive" in their hearts. "His last message was to Love One Another," the heartfelt birthday message concluded.
Tito Jackson is survived by his three children: TJ, 46, Taryll, 49, and Taj Jackson, 51.

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.

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
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.

In a remote corner of northwestern Utah, there isn’t a rock, or tree, or even a blade of grass in sight — just miles and miles of salt in every direction. It’s here, at the Bonneville Salt Flats, where race car driver Craig Breedlove shattered the land speed record 60 years ago this week.
Breedlove had been going fast since he started drag racing as a teenager in Southern California, but President John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address — in which he invited Americans to “ask what you can do for your country” — inspired Breedlove to become the fastest. For decades, British drivers had claimed the land speed record, and Breedlove became determined to end their dominance.
He built a car that looked more like a rocketship, calling it the Spirit of America. Its sleek, silver-and-blue fuselage sat on three wheels and housed a jet engine salvaged from a fighter plane. A large American flag adorned its tail, and right below the cockpit was Breedlove’s name scrawled in stylish cursive.
Breedlove told NPR in 1996 that driving Spirit of America was “probably the greatest sensation of speed that anyone could ever experience.”
But even in the flat expanse of Bonneville, Breedlove faced obstacles. At the speeds he aimed to hit, enormous forces push the car upward and drag it downward. Breedlove had to be careful where he pointed the car, because it would go there — including straight up or straight down.
“It’s very much like driving on a sheet of ice,” Breedlove said. “It’s very, very slippery under the car. The tires tend to hydroplane on a film of air, and that happens at about 375 [mph] and up. And it’s noisy in the car, and the rough ride usually bounces you around a lot, and it’s real blurry to see because of the vibrations.”
With an average speed above 407 miles per hour, Breedlove reclaimed the top land speed for the U.S. in 1963, breaking a record that had stood for 16 years. His lasted for about a year until American half-brothers Walt and Art Arfons built their own competing jet cars and went even faster: 413 miles per hour, then 434 on Oct. 5, 1964.
Over the next two weeks, Breedlove returned to Bonneville with an upgraded Spirit of America and obliterated that mark.
On Oct. 15, dressed in a metallic blue race suit and a helmet emblazoned with stars, Breedlove adjusted his goggles as a mechanic fastened his oxygen mask. Then he scorched across the salt flats at 526 miles per hour — the fastest a human had ever gone on land, and the first to top 500 mph.
During its return run, the Spirit of America’s drag parachute malfunctioned. Breedlove skidded off course for 5 miles before hitting a telephone pole and crashing into a lake.
Thoroughly soaked but unhurt, he climbed out of the cockpit. He was beaming, seemingly giddy with adrenaline.
“What a ride,” Breedlove said. “And for my next trick, I’ll set myself on fire.”
Craig Breedlove’s record was broken by Art Arfons just two weeks later. He returned to Bonneville the next year to reclaim it — at more than 600 miles per hour.
The land speed record has been increased four times since, returning to British hands in 1983. The current record was set by the car ThrustSSC, driven by Britain’s Andy Green. In 1997 he hit 763 mph, becoming the first driver — and so far the only one — to break the speed of sound.

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 Design Contributions and NVIDIA Spectrum-X to Help Accelerate Next Industrial Revolution
SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OCP Global Summit- To drive the development of open, efficient and scalable data center technologies, NVIDIA today announced that it has contributed foundational elements of its NVIDIA Blackwell accelerated computing platform design to the Open Compute Project (OCP) and broadened NVIDIA Spectrum-XTM support for OCP standards.
At this year's OCP Global Summit, NVIDIA will be sharing key portions of the NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 system electro-mechanical design with the OCP community - including the rack architecture, compute and switch tray mechanicals, liquid-cooling and thermal environment specifications, and NVIDIA NVLinkTM cable cartridge volumetrics - to support higher compute density and networking bandwidth.
NVIDIA has already made several official contributions to OCP across multiple hardware generations, including its NVIDIA HGXTM H100 baseboard design specification, to help provide the ecosystem with a wider choice of offerings from the world's computer makers and expand the adoption of AI.
In addition, expanded NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet networking platform alignment with OCP Community-developed specifications enables companies to unlock the performance potential of AI factories deploying OCP-recognized equipment while preserving their investments and maintaining software consistency.
“Building on a decade of collaboration with OCP, NVIDIA is working alongside industry leaders to shape specifications and designs that can be widely adopted across the entire data center,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA.“By advancing open standards, we're helping organizations worldwide take advantage of the full potential of accelerated computing and create the AI factories of the future.”
Accelerated Computing Platform for the Next Industrial Revolution
NVIDIA's accelerated computing platform was designed to power a new era of AI.
GB200 NVL72 is based on the NVIDIA MGXTM modular architecture , which enables computer makers to quickly and cost-effectively build a vast array of data center infrastructure designs.
The liquid-cooled system connects 36 NVIDIA GraceTM CPUs and 72 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs in a rack-scale design. With a 72-GPU NVIDIA NVLink domain, it acts as a single, massive GPU and delivers 30x faster real-time trillion-parameter large language model inference than the NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPU.
The NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet networking platform, which now includes the next-generation NVIDIA ConnectX-8 SuperNICTM , supports OCP's Switch Abstraction Interface (SAI) and Software for Open Networking in the Cloud (SONiC) standards. This allows customers to use Spectrum-X's adaptive routing and telemetry-based congestion control to accelerate Ethernet performance for scale-out AI infrastructure.
ConnectX-8 SuperNICs feature accelerated networking at speeds of up to 800Gb/s and programmable packet processing engines optimized for massive-scale AI workloads. ConnectX-8 SuperNICs for OCP 3.0 will be available next year, equipping organizations to build highly flexible networks.
Critical Infrastructure for Data Centers
As the world transitions from general-purpose to accelerated and AI computing, data center infrastructure is becoming increasingly complex. To simplify the development process, NVIDIA is working closely with 40+ global electronics makers that provide key components to create AI factories.
Additionally, a broad array of partners are innovating and building on top of the Blackwell platform, including Meta, which plans to contribute its Catalina AI rack architecture based on GB200 NVL72 to OCP. This provides computer makers with flexible options to build high compute density systems and meet the growing performance and energy efficiency needs of data centers.
“NVIDIA has been a significant contributor to open computing standards for years, including their high-performance computing platform that has been the foundation of our Grand Teton server for the past two years,” said Yee Jiun Song, vice president of engineering at Meta.“As we progress to meet the increasing computational demands of large-scale artificial intelligence, NVIDIA's latest contributions in rack design and modular architecture will help speed up the development and implementation of AI infrastructure across the industry.”
Learn more about NVIDIA's contributions to the Open Compute Project at the 2024 OCP Global Summit, taking place at the San Jose Convention Center from Oct. 15-17.

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
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.

At long last, the Davante Adams trade news finally dropped! The Raiders traded Davante Adams to the New York Jets on Tuesday morning, October 15.
BREAKING: The Raiders are trading Davante Adams to the Jets for a conditional 3rd round pick, per @RapSheet. pic.twitter.com/uOTbYbwjJ7
— Yahoo Sports (@YahooSports) October 15, 2024
As many had suspected, he's headed to New York to reunite with his former quarterback, Aaron Rodgers — once again, wearing green, but this time for the Jets, as they look to get their 2-4 season back on track.
Let's take a look at what the news means for your fantasy football teams.
Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams both look like WR2's rest-of-season
There's no doubt that it's taken some time for Aaron Rodgers and Garrett Wilson to establish a greater rapport, but in Weeks 5 and 6, fantasy football managers have gotten a taste of what they're really capable of. Wilson has finished as a top-six fantasy receiver in each of those outings with 100+ receiving yards and a score, though he did it on the back of 33 total targets.
Obviously, Adams' presence will mean a decreased target share for Wilson. In each of the seasons that Aaron Rodgers started and finished with Adams in the lineup (2016, 2018-2021), Adams was targeted on no fewer than 19.5% of his routes per PFF. In fact, he recorded a 29.5% or higher target rate on routes run in three of those five seasons. Simply put, Rodgers looks for Adams early and often, which will likely limit the ceiling of both of these wideouts moving forward.
The good news for Wilson? Though he will certainly lose targets to Adams, it might be good news for the efficiency of the targets he does receive. Since being drafted in 2021, Wilson has seen 83 targets while double-teamed in coverage — the fourth-most among wide receivers in that span.
What Adams gains in this Jets offense is, of course, the quality of the targets he does receive. Over the past two seasons, Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell have ranked 27th or lower among the 35 QBs with 250+ attempts over the past two seasons in accurate throw rate, per PFF; that's translated to a low catchable target rate (70.6%) that ranks 62nd among 96 qualifying wide receivers.
What he loses in terms of "elite" target share, he'll probably make up for in the overall quality of targets, while also benefitting from some of the attention Wilson receives from opposing defenses. Remember that note about Wilson's high target rate against double teams in coverage? Adams doesn't rank too far behind him in that metric, having had 77 such targets in the same window (seventh-most).
TL;DR — Each of these elite wide receivers should be looked at as weekly WR2 options with top-five upside. They'll eat into each other's overall volume but they should each benefit tremendously in terms open target rate.
Allen Lazard will still probably be annoying for fantasy teams
Through the first six weeks of the season, Allen Lazard has been a thorn in the sides of fantasy managers thanks to a strong rapport with Rodgers. Lazard has accounted for the same number of end-zone targets (4) as Wilson in that span, reeling in two more touchdowns (albeit one on a Hail Mary) and just 45 fewer receiving yards.
Though Adams and Wilson are clearly the best wide receivers in this offense, Lazard will probably still have a role that does eat into some of the overall upside either of them pose individually. Lazard is clearly an integral part of Rodgers' inner circle of trust, and that is worth a lot. Though he undoubtedly takes the biggest hit from Adams' arrival, he's still likely to account for some work in the red zone at the very least, which can keep him in the mix as a weekly flex consideration in plus matchups.
Brock Bowers = Raiders biggest winner
Rookie tight end Brock Bowers has already dominated most conversations about the Raiders offense this year. Now, with Adams out of the mix for targets permanently, there's little doubt that, barring injury, Bowers will likely lead this team in targets, receiving yards and possibly receiving touchdowns (though how many of those will be scored this year is TBD).
Bowers currently leads all tight ends with 37 receptions and 384 receiving yards (the next highest totals being Trey McBride and George Kittle with 28 receptions and Dallas Goedert with 301 receiving yards). Given that most other "elite" tight end options are dealing with more competition for targets (Sam LaPorta with Amon-Ra St. Brown, McBride with Marvin Harrison Jr., Mark Andrews with Isaiah Likely), it seems like there may be no safer option at the position right now than Bowers.
Stay tuned for more fantasy impact of the massive Davante Adams trade

AILSA CHANG, HOST:
We've been covering swing states this election season as part of our series We, The Voters. This week, we're focusing on Arizona. It's a swing state going all the way down the ballot there from the race for President and the U.S. Senate to a key measure on abortion rights, where the votes could go either way. To talk about all of this swinginess (ph), we're joined now by Camryn Sanchez with member station KJZZ in Phoenix. Hey, Camryn.
CAMRYN SANCHEZ, BYLINE: Hi.
CHANG: Hi. OK. So both presidential candidates have just been visiting Arizona. I know that you covered their events. And I want to just start with how former President Trump has been trying to appeal to voters there. Like, you know, obviously, Arizona is a border state. How is that shaping his message there?
SANCHEZ: It has consistently been his main message here. So Trump spoke at an arena in Prescott Valley on Sunday afternoon, which is just about two hours north of Phoenix. He spoke to an audience of thousands about border security and falsely claimed that Harris has imported criminals from all over the world.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
DONALD TRUMP: From prisons and jails, insane asylums, mental institutions, from Venezuela, from the Congo, all over, and she's resettled them into your communities to prey upon innocent American people.
SANCHEZ: So as NPR has reported in the past, crime rates among immigrants are actually generally not higher than they are for the overall public. When I talked to Trump voters who were coming out, they said that they believe what he says about the border is true, and they like his emphasis on the economy as well. I'll also note that Trump has continued to say at his rallies in Arizona that he won the 2020 election, although he did not. He lost in Arizona. He's now also pushing for early voting and mail-in voting, which just started here, although those things were at the center of a lot of election fraud conspiracy theories in 2020, when Biden won. And here in Arizona, the Republican-controlled legislature investigated and came up with no evidence of fraud.
CHANG: That's absolutely right. I know that you were at a rally for Vice President Harris a few days before that. How much did she try to preempt Trump's arguments on any of those things? Like, what kind of case did she make?
SANCHEZ: She really took a very different approach. So at Harris' rally in Chandler, Arizona, which is in the Phoenix metro area, she focused very much on her economic and her health care policies. She did criticize Trump. She criticized him for not debating her again and for his comments during their debate about what he said were his, quote-unquote, "concepts of a plan" to replace the Affordable Care Act. One thing people have pointed out is that while Harris is neck-and-neck and pulls with Trump in Arizona, the Democratic candidate for Senate, Ruben Gallego, who is a retired Marine and a congressman, he appears to be leading the GOP nominee, Kari Lake, who is a Trump endorsee.
So the key seems to be that you really need to win over independents and some Republicans to get state-wide office in Arizona. And Gallego has been doing that, but Harris is not so much. One issue that might win some independents for Harris is the emphasis she's putting on abortion rights. And here she is talking about that.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS: More than 1 in 3 women in America lives in a state with a Trump abortion ban, including right here in Arizona, 3.5 million women. And many of these bans, like the one in this state, have no exceptions even for rape and incest. It is immoral.
CHANG: I mean, abortion, it's a big issue in this presidential race, and it's especially a big issue on Arizona's state ballot this year. Like, there's a very important measure on that ballot that voters are going to be deciding this November. It's about Prop 139. You see signs about Prop 139 all over the place. Our team certainly did. Tell us what is going on with that particular issue.
SANCHEZ: There was just this tidal wave of momentum when Roe v. Wade was overturned, and Arizona is 1 of 10 states now voting on abortion rights questions on their ballot. Here, we have Proposition 139. Arizona got a lot of attention in the spring because there was a debate over a Civil War-era law that banned abortion, and it was narrowly repealed by the legislature.
So currently, we have a law banning abortion up to 15 weeks. But the amendment, if it passes, would allow abortion up to viability, which is about 24 weeks or so. Democrats are hoping that that drives a lot of voters to the polls. Now, the opponents of the measure say that it's way too extreme. But some polls are showing that it has a lot of support, and that's what I've heard from talking to people, both Democrats and independents.
CHANG: That is Camryn Sanchez from KJZZ in Phoenix. Thank you so much, Camryn.
SANCHEZ: Thank you. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

In a big development in the Baba Siddiqui murder case, Mumbai Police on Tuesday revealed that the assisination plan was hatched about 3 months back in Pune and the arrested shooters were paid hefty money for it
Mumbai police statement said, “the conspiracy to kill Baba Siddiqui had started 3 months ago. The accused had gone to Baba Siddiqui's house several times without weapons. According to the information, the entire planning of Baba Siddiqui's murder was done in Pune.”
“To identify Baba Siddiqui, the accused was given Baba Siddiqui's photo and banner photo and was told that this was the target. The house and office were also recced 25 days before the incident”
Mumbai Crime Branch has so far recorded the statements of more than 15 people, including many eyewitnesses who were present at the time of the incident.
Speaking more on the operation, police said, Harishkumar Balakram (23), who was arrested in the case, used to work as a middle man. He had delivered ₹2 lakh to the arrested shooters Gurmel Singh and Dharamraj Kashyap that came from arrested accused Praveen and Shubham Lonkar (absconding)
Along with the money, two mobile phones were also provided to Harish. The investigation also revealed that the accused used the Snapchat and Instagram to co-ordinate.
“Gurmail Singh and Dharamraj Kashyap learned to shoot by watching videos on YouTube and often practiced (without a magazine) in Mumbai,” police said
Baba Siddique was murdered after being shot outside his office in Nirmal Nagar. He sustained multiple gunshot wounds before being rushed to Mumbai's Lilavati Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries on Saturday night. His last rites were performed with full state honours in Mumbai at Bada Qabrastan on Sunday.
Siddique was a leader in Ajit Pawar's faction of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP).
Mumbai Crime Branch has arrested 4 accused so far and three accused are still absconding in the case.

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.

JUANA SUMMERS, HOST:
Campaigning continues in North Carolina despite storm damage, and the Republican nominee for superintendent of schools is attracting a lot of attention. She's got a track record for spreading conspiracy theories - like calling Islam a cult - and falsehoods, for example, saying the plus in LGBTQ+ stands for pedophilia. Liz Schlemmer from member station WUNC has the story from the campaign trail.
LIZ SCHLEMMER, BYLINE: At a street festival last month in the town of Wake Forest, outside of Raleigh, Michele Morrow walked through the crowd. Her blue T-shirt said, make education great again. With a smile, she extended her hand to a voter.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
MICHELE MORROW: I'm Michele Morrow. I'm running to be the next state superintendent of public instruction.
SCHLEMMER: As she spoke to voters, Morrow drew on her experience homeschooling her five children.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
MORROW: The majority of homeschoolers would put their kids gladly back into public school if they were sure that they were going to be safe, they weren't going to be bullied (ph), and they weren't going to have, like what you're saying, this world view that is not their family's world view pushed on their children.
SCHLEMMER: Morrow has never before held public office. Two years ago, she ran for a school board seat and lost. Then she won the Republican nomination for state superintendent in a huge upset.
DONNA LUBUS: Oh, my goodness. She's the real deal.
SCHLEMMER: That's Donna Lubus, a retired educator who now volunteers for Morrow's campaign.
LUBUS: Because I love children, and I hate what public school is doing to them. There's a lot of an agenda.
SCHLEMMER: The man facing Morrow is Democratic nominee Mo Green. He says he barely knew anything about her before the votes came in the night of the primary.
MO GREEN: It was that night that I said, well, yeah, now that she's going to be the Republican nominee, let me do a little bit more exploration about her. And, I mean, wow.
SCHLEMMER: His campaign quickly seized on video of her outside the U.S. Capitol building on January 6, 2021, and has now turned it into a campaign ad.
(SOUNDBITE OF CAMPAIGN AD)
MORROW: Hey, patriots.
UNIDENTIFIED NARRATOR: This is Michele Morrow. She went to January 6 and called for a military coup.
SCHLEMMER: Green is a former county school superintendent. He says after seeing that, he knew the campaign had to be about more than the details of school policies.
GREEN: We're at a whole different place, and so I do believe that this has crystallized the fact that the very soul of public education is on the ballot in the election of this position.
SCHLEMMER: His opponent has repeated QAnon conspiracy theories. She says some teachers are, quote, "groomers." She calls public schools indoctrination centers. Four years ago, she said former President Barack Obama should face a firing squad, which she later said was a joke. But it's the kind of language people hear at the top of the party ticket, too.
MICHAEL BITZER: These are all things that Donald Trump has honed and developed within the Republican Party nationally. And I think we're seeing that play out here in North Carolina as well.
SCHLEMMER: That's Michael Bitzer, a political professor at Catawba College in Salisbury, North Carolina. He says Morrow's rhetoric may be why she won her party's nomination.
BITZER: The real question is, does she only appeal to that Trump Republican base, and does she alienate a whole swath of North Carolina voters that she would need to win state-wide?
SCHLEMMER: And Morrow's comments are repelling some voters. Erin Lynch is a private school teacher who came to one of Green's events to learn about him after hearing about Morrow.
ERIN LYNCH: I'm a pretty close follower of state-wide politics, so knew about her pretty early on and just am horrified.
SCHLEMMER: In a state where voters have chosen a Republican as state superintendent in the last two elections, this vote could be a referendum on Morrow's rhetoric. For NPR News, I'm Liz Schlemmer in Durham, North Carolina.
