SINGAPORE / ACCESSWIRE / October 15, 2024 / UTONIC Protocol, the first restaking platform built on The Open Network, today announces its latest alliance with notable AVS (Actively Validated Services) providers from the TON and Telegram ecosystem.
Being the first restaking protocol for TON, UTONIC aims to extend TON Network's security to thousands of Telegram applications and build the revenue-sharing layer for one billion users.
Background
On Oct 12, 2024, UTONIC team submitted a proposal to TONResearch, seeking to enhance the security of the growing number of applications in Telegram, increasing the value and yield of TON assets, and encouraging more TON holders to participate in staking.
The original proposal can be found at https://tonresear.ch/t/introducing-ton-restaking-the-utonic-approach/38260
How does UTONIC and Restaking AVS work?
By repurposing staked assets, users can secure Actively Validated Services (AVS) within the UTONIC network while consenting to grant additional enforcement rights over their staked assets. This opt-in feature introduces supplementary slashing conditions tailored to the specific needs of validated services, such as wallets, bridges, or oracles. These slashing conditions enforce participant integrity, ensuring the security of applications leveraging UTONIC is maintained.
UTONIC functions as a marketplace where developers can incentivize operators to allocate their restaked TON for securing their services. This represents a significant improvement over the traditional approach, where applications often need to issue highly inflationary tokens as rewards for validators and build a new trust network from the ground up. With UTONIC, developers can leverage on the security provided by restaked TON assets, drastically reducing the financial and time investment required compared to establishing a new trust network from scratch.
Bringing Real Yield and Use Cases to the TON Ecosystem
Through UTONIC's restaking approach, the security of dApps and protocols on TON and Telegram can be strengthened. Companies and projects are incentivized to restake TON, further maximizing the security and revenue stream for their protocols.
Unlike many popular Telegram mini-apps that are built on Telegram but have not interacted with the TON blockchain, UTONIC uplifts the yield opportunity for applications built on TON, encouraging innovations and foraging use cases for the TON blockchain. Although the TON and Telegram ecosystem has a large user base of more than 1 billion users, the majority of these users are smaller-scale retail participants.To attract larger-scale professional and institutional DeFi participants, the TON ecosystem needs to meet a stricter security and decentralization standard. UTONIC addresses this gap by offering AVS, ensuring the high security standards required for DeFi growth. The UTONIC restaking approach is a significant move for Telegram Web2 applications, as most of these scenarios are currently centralized and lack trustworthy operators.
Applications such as sidechains, data availability layers, keeper networks, oracle networks, bridges, threshold cryptography schemes, trusted execution environments, etc, who leverage on TON's strong user base of 1 billion users, are particularly sensitive to security risks. By utilizing AVS provided by UTONIC, these applications can operate in a secure environment, which is essential for gaining trust from builders and incentivizes their integration into the TON ecosystem.
An Innovative Attempt on Incentive Distribution
Being veterans in the DeFi industry, UTONIC proposes an innovative approach in distributing incentives, to foster a healthy equilibrium between the protocol, AVS, and restakers.
Instead of allocating incentives to "farm & sell" type of users, mostly whales, which might create a huge sell pressure, UTONIC will integrate veTokenomic model, inspired by Curve Finance, to direct more incentives towards long-term supporters and partners with selected AVS providers, to bring real yields to TON holders.
Lemon, Co-founder of UTONIC Protocol: "UTONIC not only enhances application security but also drives sustainable growth in the TON ecosystem. By establishing an incentive structure that benefits all builders and users, we ensure a system that encourages long-term participation and creates more value for the whole TON ecosystem."

Textron Aviation leads aircraft deliveries in a $298B market forecast, while Airbus Helicopters is set to deliver 38% of new helicopters over the next decade
NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, October 15, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- Aviation Week Network today announces the 2025 Business Aviation Fleet & MRO Forecast along with the 2025 Helicopter Fleet & MRO Forecast, a ten-year outlook of the respective industries. Produced with independent projections and data by Aviation Week Intelligence Network's (AWIN) internal forecasting teams, the forecast findings show the broader, worldwide business aviation fleet growing from 35,443 aircraft to 40,107 aircraft, a 13% increase in fleet counts compared to 2025, and a 1.4% CAGR. Meanwhile, the Helicopter forecast sees the broader, worldwide turbine-powered fleets growing at a 1.4% CAGR reaching 24,265 units in 2034.
Business Aviation
The jet fleet segment is expected to see the strongest growth, while business turboprops will see more subdued growth, with single-engine models replacing multi-engines faster. The MRO aftermarket for business aircraft sees a 3.2% CAGR overall, with $146 billion in total demand, 32% of which is modifications requirements, growing at 2.2% CAGR. Meanwhile, with a share of 27% of the demand, engine maintenance is becoming an ever-increasing share of MRO requirements in business aviation.
New business aircraft delivery values will be worth $297 billion over the next ten years, with Textron's product line soundly outpacing unit deliveries by Gulfstream and Pilatus. However, Gulfstream's delivery values will outperform both Textron and Bombardier.“After some recent market softening, new aircraft deliveries are still seeing unusually high demand and price increases lately while used aircraft prices have receded a bit. We feel that the delivery market will stabilize on the high side of normal activity we've seen over the previous decade,” said Brian Kough, Senior Director, Forecasts & Aerospace Insights.“Larger category jets appear on a strong footing as well as single-engine turboprops.”
Aircraft deliveries, counting both jet and turboprop segments, will number over 1,100 aircraft in 2025 and reach the 1,200-unit mark from 2027 to 2032. Business jets account for 9,000 of the total deliveries with turboprops accounting for the remaining 2,800 deliveries over the ten-year forecast. Additionally, 6,600 total aircraft are expected to retire during the same time period.
Helicopters
Turbine-powered helicopter deliveries are projected to exceed 6,400 over the decade, while aircraft retirements will total just over 3,300 units. This translates to a 1.4% fleet CAGR. Airbus will lead deliveries over the ten-year forecast with a 38% share of delivery units over the period. The top three leading helicopter family deliveries are placed with the Airbus H125/H130, the Bell 505 Jet Ranger, and followed by the Robinson R66.
Aftermarket MRO demand is projected to grow at a 1.3% CAGR on a non-inflationary basis. Retirement activity frequency is concentrated in the second half of the forecast period.
Both the 2025 Business Aviation Fleet & MRO Forecast and 2025 Helicopter Fleet & MRO Forecast findings detail market demands and industry trends accounting for the impact of economic and macro trends on global fleets and MRO. By combining current fleet counts and stats, projected aircraft fleet changes, in-house flight data derived utilization projections, and segmented MRO cost analytics, the forecast delivers critical strategic insights for each market sector.
The 2025 Commercial Fleet & MRO Forecast is also now available. The 2025 Military Fleet & MRO Forecast will be released on November 4.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are trending toward making a change at quarterback. Veteran Russell Wilson, who signed with the Steelers in March, is finally healthy enough to start taking first-team reps, and will reportedly do just that this week. That sets him up to make his Steelers debut this weekend when they face the New York Jets.
Sources: The #Steelers plan to give Russell Wilson first-team reps in practice this week, putting him in line to make his season debut and start Sunday night against the #Jets.
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) October 15, 2024
Pittsburgh is 4-2 with Justin Fields. But Wilson’s calf is fully healed and now he gets his shot. pic.twitter.com/vrhgo7LfgO
Wilson, 35, struggled with a calf injury throughout training camp, but appeared to be on the other side of it as the regular season approached. He was named the starting quarterback prior to Week 1 over Justin Fields, but reaggravated that lurking calf injury just days before the Steelers were due to start their season against the Atlanta Falcons.
The Steelers didn't make a formal announcement about their Week 1 starter before inactives were released, but when when they came out 90 minutes before kickoff, Wilson was on the list. Fields would be the starter going forward, and he helped lead the Steelers to a 3-0 start.
Pittsburgh has had just a few hiccups since then and currently sit at 4-2. Despite that strong, Tomlin is definitely putting Wilson in consideration to be the Week 7 starter.
Tomlin: "[Russell Wilson] is in consideration this week. We'll see where that leads us.
— Andrew Siciliano (@AndrewSiciliano) October 15, 2024
The Steelers need an offensive push, and Wilson can definitely give that to them. And Russ wants redemption more than ever after two disastrous years with the Denver Broncos. Now he's closer than ever to proving he's got more passes left in that mighty arm.

Protests in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Shangla expose Pak govt failures as road construction stalls
By ANI | Published: October 15, 2024 10:40 PM2024-10-15T22:40:32+5:302024-10-15T22:45:13+5:30

Shangla [Pakistan], October 15 : Residents of Kana tehsil in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Shangla district on Monday blocked the Bisham-Swat Road for six hours to protest the sluggish pace of reconstruction on the vital Karora-Ajmeer Road, Dawn reported.
The protest reflects growing anger at the government's inability to complete infrastructure projects, which has left locals struggling with daily commutes and economic stagnation.
The protest, organised by the local action committee, drew large crowds who chanted slogans against the construction firm and elected representatives for neglecting the project.
Mohammad Naeem Khan, chairman of the action committee, lambasted authorities for their lack of commitment. "A year has passed, and the contractor hasn't even completed a retaining wall," he said, according to Dawn. "We've been raising this issue for over a decade, yet our pleas continue to fall on deaf ears."
The delayed 28-kilometer road project, funded by over Pakistan currency (PKR) 2 billion, has been marred by mismanagement. Protesters alleged that only a single excavator has been deployed for the project, exposing the state's inefficiency and poor oversight. They pointed out that the road, if completed, could attract tourists to the scenic region, generating much-needed revenue for both locals and the government.
"The entire population relies on this road, but authorities show no interest," Naeem added. "It's disgraceful that people must suffer even while transporting patients on this broken artery."
Dawn reported that protest leader Amirzeb Khan criticized the elected representatives for abandoning their voters and ignoring the project. "We've approached the contractor, the World Bank, and government officials multiple times, but no action has been taken," Amirzeb said, warning that the public had no option but to escalate their protests.
The protest ended after Alpuri's assistant commissioner and officials from the construction firm met with the committee leaders, promising to speed up the project by deploying additional equipment.
However, the community remains skeptical, with locals accusing the government of neglecting basic infrastructure and failing to keep its promises.
This incident highlights Pakistan's chronic governance failures, where corruption, administrative inefficiency, and disregard for public needs disrupt essential services and economic growth. The prolonged delay not only hampers the lives of residents but also risks depriving the region of potential tourism revenue.

HELL'S KITCHEN, Manhattan (WABC) -- After years of anticipation, a brand-new waterfront park officially opened in Hell's Kitchen on Tuesday morning.
Officials with Pier 97, located in Hudson River Park, held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to welcome the public to its new space.
The waterfront park includes a large playground for children with a 26-foot-high rope climbing structure, athletic field, sloping lawn, elevated walkway with seating, all-ages slide and walking promenade.
Another feature of the park is the sunset deck which offers fantastic views of the Hudson River and the 16,000 flowers and plants.
"Hudson River Park is about all of us," said Hudson River Park President and CEO Noreen Doyle. "It's about the people who envision the park and fought for it and who still fight for it."
The conversation to revitalize Pier 97 started over 20 years ago. In the 1980s, the waterfront was a barren landscape surrounded by barbed wire, crumbling piers, parking lots and decaying warehouses.
The city spent $18 million 15 years ago to rebuild the pier's structure followed by the $40 million for the design of the park.
The park was originally planned to open in 2002 but had to be pushed back to 2024.

A spacecraft that will study one of Jupiter’s moons launched Monday on a journey of more than six years to discover if the moon has the ability to support life.
The solar-powered spacecraft Europa Clipper ascended above clear skies through Earth’s atmosphere on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
It is expected to reach Jupiter in April 2030 to study Europa, the icy-surfaced moon, which is roughly the size of Earth’s moon and thought to have “ingredients for life,” such as water, NASA says.
"Europa could have all the ingredients for life as we know it," NASA Associate Administrator Jim Free said on a media call on Sunday. "Water, organics, chemical energy and stability. What we discover at Europa will have profound implications for the study of astrobiology and how we view our place in the universe."
The spacecraft has three goals, according to the agency, which are to “determine the thickness of the moon’s icy shell and its interactions with the ocean below, to investigate its composition, and to characterize its geology.”
Europa Clipper is carrying nine science instruments, including two that will catch dust and gas, and a gravity experiment that uses telecommunications systems, the agency says. Weighing 13,000 pounds (almost half of which is fuel), Europa Clipper has 24 engines and is about the length of a basketball court when its solar arrays are open.
The spacecraft is expected to reach Mars in February 2025 and swing back by Earth in 2026 to give Europa Clipper “enough energy to reach Jupiter” using the planets' gravity, NASA says.
Once the spacecraft reaches Jupiter in 2030, it will orbit the planet and begin making 49 close flybys of Europa in the spring of 2031, according to NASA.
Europa Clipper will face a challenge once it reaches the planet's moon — exposure to radiation, since the moon is within Jupiter’s magnetic field. To combat this, the spacecraft's electronics will be enclosed in a thick vault lined with aluminum and titanium aimed as a shield against radiation.
Europa Clipper will spend less than a day in the radiation zone and then leave, repeating the process two to three weeks later, according to NASA.

India vs New Zealand, 1st Test: Rohit Sharma's led-Indian cricket team will play its first of the three-Test series with the Tom Latham-led New Zealand cricket team from 16 October onwards at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Aiming to win 19th Test series at home in a row since 2012-13, India will begin its series on a high after whitewashing Nazmul Hossain Shanto-led Bangladesh national cricket team by 2-0 in a two-test series in September.
The New Zealand Test series will also help India prepare for a crucial Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia next month.
This test series is an opportunity to seal a spot for India in a third consecutive World Test Championship finals.
The first test will be played from 16-20 October at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
The second Test will be played 24-28 October at Pune's Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium. While the third and final Test will take place from 1-5 November at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium.
All three Test matches will begin from 9.30 am onwards IST.
In total, India and New Zealand have played 62 Test matches, where India won 22, while New Zealand were undefeated on 13 occasions. Twenty-seven were drawn.
India won 17 Tests at home, whole 5 were away from home.
According to the Indian Meteorology Department (IMD), Bengaluru may experience heavy rains over the next few days.
AS per IMD's prediction, the spell between October 14 and October 17 is expected to see plenty of precipitation, with a 70-90% chance of rain on Day 1 and Day 2 of the Test match. The met department also issued thunderstorm warnings and yellow alerts in parts of Karnataka.
Bengaluru offers a good batting surface, but including spinners in the squad has helped both teams in previous Test. Batting first gives an extra edge for the team, so team winning the toss may opt for batting first at M Chinnaswany Stadium.
The India vs New Zealand Test series will be telecast live on Sports 18 and live-streamed on the JioCinema app and website.
India’s squad: Rohit Sharma (c), Jasprit Bumrah (vc), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant (wk), Dhruv Jurel (wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep
Travelling Reserves: Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Mayank Yadav and Prasidh Krishna
New Zealand's squad: Devon Conway, Kane Williamson, Mark Chapman, Will Young, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham, Glenn Phillips, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner, Rachin Ravindra, Tom Blundell, Ajaz Patel, Ben Sears, Matt Henry, Tim Southee, William O'Rourke

As another winnable game slipped out of his hands, Aaron Rodgers sat pensively on the New York Jets' bench Monday night looking like he was contemplating life.
It didn’t appear he liked what he saw.
His Jets were about to be losers again — 23-20 to Buffalo — and thus fall to 2-4 on the season. They had already fired the coach, Robert Saleh. They had already changed play-callers. They had already talked about renewed effort and focus.
And yet, little had changed.
The lights were bright inside MetLife Stadium, but this felt like one of Rodgers' famed darkness retreats; his face conveying more regret than resolve.
And so it should be no surprise that by Tuesday morning the Jets had pulled the trigger on bringing in one of Rodgers' all-time favorite wide receivers, acquiring Devonte Adams from Las Vegas for a conditional third-round pick.
The move reunites the quarterback and pass-catcher — they played together for eight seasons (2014-2021) in Green Bay. They combined for 622 receptions, 7,590 yards and 69 touchdowns in regular season play.
Those were the glory days. Big scores and big wins. The Packers averaged 10 regular season victories during that period and won six playoff games to advance to the NFC championship game four different times.
Adams left for Vegas in 2022 and nothing worked quite like it did with the Packers. After 14 touchdowns his first season, he’s had just nine since. The Jets tried to trade for him last year but the Raiders wouldn’t budge. After just one touchdown in three games this year, Adams requested a trade.
Rodgers, meanwhile, headed to the Jets in 2023 and there has been little more than injury and disappointment. At age 41, there isn’t a lot of time for lost seasons or slow rebuilds. New York brought Rodgers in to win now.
They aren’t winning.
Maybe a recoupling will change everything. The Jets sure hope so. They are pretty much out of options, other than finally finding a way to get pass rusher Haason Reddick back into the fold. Reddick is more likely to be traded though.
Team owner Woody Johnson declared this team the most talented in 25 years. He used that as justification for firing Saleh after a 2-3 start to the season. Meanwhile, offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett (a perceived Rodgers’ confidant) was demoted from calling plays.
Yet, rather than lighting a fire of inspiration under the roster, the Jets looked like the same old mediocre, beat-themselves outfit on Monday.
There was a dropped touchdown. There were two field goal attempts hit uprights and crossbars. There were 11 penalties for 110 yards. New York converted just four of 12 third down attempts and went 1 for 4 in the red zone.
Not even a converted Hail Mary at the end of the first half could save them.
Rodgers seemed stunned that the game didn’t turn out better.
"We need to get going," Rodgers said on Monday. "This was a golden opportunity. Some games you win in the NFL, and some games you give away. This was a giveaway."
It was indicative of this entire Jets experiment for Rodgers. It began with much fanfare and the expectations of a late-career potential championship push in the spirit of Peyton Manning in Denver and Tom Brady in Tampa Bay.
Subscribe to Yahoo Sports NFL on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you listen.
Instead, New York is staring at a stretch this month that features games at 4-2 Pittsburgh and later hosting 5-1 Houston.
"It's frustrating," Rodgers said. "I'm here to win [these] games."
The season isn’t over, but it is trending in that direction. Hence the franchise pulling every early-season emergency cord it can.
Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich is the interim coach and Todd Downing is calling plays. So now it’s all about the players.
Adams gives Rodgers a familiar face and weapon and bolsters a receiving corps that already features Garrett Wilson. The offense wasn’t bad on Monday — Rodgers threw for 294 yards and two touchdowns and Breece Hall ran for 113 yards while adding 56 receiving.
It still wasn't enough though. And for a team with Super Bowl aspirations, that isn't enough.
The third-round pick (which could become a second if it works out) is a significant but not daunting price. What other options were there for the Jets? Rodgers is by far their most accomplished quarterback in decades and this was an all-in season.
Might as well make the most of it while something can still be made.

The National Judicial Council has urged judicial officers in the country to focus on improving their performance, warning that those with consistently low performance may be recommended for removal.
Speaking at the NJC, Third Annual National Conference on Judges Performance Evaluation, on Tuesday in Abuja, the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, expressed concerns over the increase in the number of pending cases in courts and the low disposition rate of cases among judges.
Kekere-Ekun said “As of the 1st quarter of 2024, we had a total of 243,253 cases pending in our Superior Courts of record, exclusive of the Supreme Court. This total is comprised of 199,747 civil cases and 43,506 criminal cases.
“At the last meeting of the committee, there was a reduction in case disposal as some judicial officers failed to deliver a single judgement in one quarter. This is simply unacceptable.
“It is imperative for all of us to take a serious note of this alarming situation and for this purpose, we must re-focus our attention towards enhancing our judicial performance.”
She encouraged judicial officers to explore the use of information technology options and case management innovations to enhance judicial performance.
In addition, she urged the use of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms such as mediation and arbitration, which she said supports quicker resolution, to help reduce the burden on judges.
“My Lords, ladies and gentlemen, we cannot wish away the growing backlog of cases or expect a different result when we continue to do things the same way.
“Unless we can justly, speedily and effectively execute our roles as judicial officers, the populace will lose their confidence in the judiciary as it is mostly believed rightly or wrongly that the judicial process is often painstakingly slow and tedious. Delayed justice is denied justice.”
She charged the judges to take control of their courtrooms, maximise the use of case management systems and foster an environment where constructive feedback is valued and acted upon.
Stressing that performance metrics should not only merely be about speed but also about the quality and impact of decisions.
The chairman of the National Judicial Council and Emir of Lafia, HRH. Justice Sidi Muhammad noted that there are two issues of great concern, the first being the number of pending cases in superior courts of record and the second, he identified as the consistently low performance of some judicial officers.
Muhammad said, “At the end of the Second Quarter 2018, when the first Conference was held, there were a total of 137,442 cases pending, however as of the 1st Quarter of 2024 we now have a total of 243, 253 cases pending. This, no doubt, is a staggering number indeed. Urgent and decisive action is required.”
Speaking further, he noted that henceforth, any judicial officer with a poor performance record will be dismissed from their position.
He emphasised that the committee will not tolerate repeated acts of non-performance due to indolence, nonchalance or impunity as may be inferred from some of the returns submitted by Judicial Officers adding that there were even submissions of false Returns by a few judicial officers.
He said, “These practices must stop. Henceforth, any Judicial Officer who is assessed as having persistently poor performance should be identified and recommended by the Committee for removal from office. In light of the above, there is no doubt that this Conference is long overdue.
“I must reiterate that the purpose of the Committee is not to witch-hunt, intimidate, oppress or create fear in the minds of Your Lordships in the course of performing your constitutional and statutory judicial duties. Rather, the Committee seeks to support our Judicial Officers as they expeditiously discharge their adjudicatory responsibilities competently, diligently and in accordance with their Oaths of Office”.
The Secretary of the National Judicial Council, Ahmed Gambo Esq, in his remarks, lauded judges all over the country for being dedicated, industrious and innovative towards the discharge of their duties.
Adding that the council recognises the need for judicial officers to upskill and improve their mastery of judge craft and as such, “The Council has been working assiduously to develop the Judges’ Performance Evaluation Software.”
Which he said has already been deployed in some states and undergoing user acceptance testing in several others.
He explained that the Software will greatly impact and improve the mode of transmission of Returns, as it will allow for online submission and analysis of Returns thereby lightening the load on our judicial officers.

The Ogun State Government, on Tuesday, said it is contesting the financial guidelines of the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit at the Supreme Court and not the constitutionality of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission as reported by some media.
The state government said it is specifically contending NFIU’s financial guidelines, which it said unfairly limits the operations of states and local governments in the country.
The government issued this clarification in a statement by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Strategy, Kayode Akinmade.
Akinmade said the constitutionality of the EFCC and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission had been determined by the Supreme Court, noting that the state considers discussions on the issue closed.
He added that Ogun had no factual reason or recent development to reopen the question of the EFCC’s constitutionality, adding that as a federating unit with law enforcement agencies of its own, it had no desire to undermine the Federal Government’s law and order objectives.
The statement said, “The case Ogun State has filed (SC/CV/912/2024) and the case that several states are party to (SC/CV/178/2023) litigate a very narrow issue that does not attack the constitutionality of the EFCC.
“Nigerians recall the obnoxious naira redesign policy, which was invalidated by the Supreme Court after Ogun State and other states successfully challenged the policy.
“A lesser-known fact is that around that time in January 2023, purporting to act under the Anti-Money Laundering Act, Proceeds of Crime Act, and its enabling statute, the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit released a guidelines document and an Advisory which, among other things, placed limits on cash withdrawals by State and Local Governments.
“Ogun State disagrees with these limits because they do not align with our view of the law and cause significant governance disruptions. As such, the suit is targeted at invalidating the NFIU Guidelines and Advisory, insofar as they interfere with the economic and governance interests of Ogun State and its Local Governments.
“Especially now that the Supreme Court has guaranteed the Local Governments’ access to their funds, intrusive subsidiary legislation by unelected bureaucrats in the NFIU ought not to stand in the way of the justified free use of public funds.”

The new Audi A3 Sportback plug-in hybrid has been revealed with a huge electric-only range of 88 miles.
With battery capacity boosted from 13kWh in the previous A3 PHEV to 19.7kWh (usable), the new A3 Sportback 40 TFSe has one of the longest ranges of any plug-in hybrids on the market.
The battery can also now be fast-charged at speeds of up to 50kW; and powers a new gearbox-integrated 114bhp electric motor, which can power the car on its own at speeds of up to 87mph.
In total, the electrified drivetrain, based around a 1.5-litre petrol four-pot and shared with the Volkswagen Golf eHybrid, delivers 201bhp to the front axle for a 0-62mph time of 7.4sec and a top speed of 140mph.
Audi has yet to confirm plans to offer the A3 45 TFSI E in the UK, which comes with the more potent 268bhp system from the Golf GTE.
Audi said it had specially tuned the PHEV's chassis to account for the extra weight of the battery under the back seats, with the resulting higher spring rates and firmer damping said to ensure "high ride quality and dynamics in equal measure".
Available to order from November, it will be priced from £39,150 and available in Sport, S Line (£41,430) and top-rung Black Edition (£42,880) trims and exclusively in hatchback guise.

Assam BJP chief claims to win all five seats going to bypolls

Guwahati, Oct 15 Assam BJP chief Bhabesh Kalita on Tuesday asserted that the ruling alliance will win the five Assembly seats in the state where bypolls will take place on November 13.
Kalita told reporters: “Four out of five assembly seats where the by-elections will happen have legislators either from the BJP or our alliance partners. People have blessed the BJP with a heavy mandate in this year’s Lok Sabha polls and these four seats got vacant as the MLAs were elected to the lower house of the parliament. This time, we will win all five assembly seats here.”
He claimed that the people of Assam are very much satisfied with the performance of the BJP.
“Voters have complete faith in Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. The double-engine government has done unprecedented development in the state for the last 8 years. There is no room for the opposition party and we are sure to clinch a win in five assembly seats,” Kalita said.
However, the BJP leader also mentioned that the party workers will fight polls with utmost sincerity.
“Our party workers have been reaching out to the voters and everybody is instructed not to get overconfident and continue doing the activities related to the polls,” Kalita stated.
The Assembly seats — Dholai, Behali, Samaguri, Bongaigaon and Sidli went vacant after five legislators including a cabinet minister were elected to the parliament in this year’s Lok Sabha polls.
This included two MLAs from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), including a cabinet minister, along with one each from alliance partners Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) and United Peoples Party Liberal (UPPL), as well as one from the opposition Congress.
BJP’s former cabinet minister Parimal Suklabaidya successfully contested in the Silchar Lok Sabha seat and his earlier Assembly seat Dholai was vacant. Meanwhile, another senior BJP leader Ranjit Dutta was elected to the lower house of the parliament this time. He was representing the Behali seat in the Assembly.
BJP’s Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) opened its account in the parliament this time after 20 years with its senior leader Phani Bhusan Choudhury being elected from the Barpeta Lok Sabha seat.
Choudhury was a six-time MLA from the Bongaigaon Assembly segment. When AGP fielded him in the Barpeta Lok Sabha seat to fight parliamentary elections, supporters of Choudhury opposed the party’s decision and urged Choudhury to remain the MLA of Bongaigaon.
Another ally of the BJP, United People’s Party Liberal (UPPL) leader Joyanta Basumatary, the former MLA from Sidli, also made headlines by securing the Kokrajhar Lok Sabha seat in the parliamentary elections.
Meanwhile, Congress leader Rakibul Hussain defeated the three-time AIUDF MP and party chief Badruddin Ajmal in the Dhubri Lok Sabha seat with a margin of more than 10 lakh votes reinforcing his status as a five-time legislator from the Samuguri Assembly seat.
According to Kalita, the BJP will field candidates in three seats—Dholai, Behali and Samaguri while AGP and UPPL are set to contest in Bongaigaon and Sidli Assembly seats respectively.

An estimated 18 North Korean soldiers have deserted from their positions in Russia's Kursk and Bryansk oblasts near the Ukrainian border, Suspilne reported on Oct. 15, citing unnamed intelligence officials.
Concerns over the deepening military ties between Moscow and Pyongyang have escalated dramatically this week. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Oct. 13 that Russia's plans for supporting its full-scale invasion of Ukraine would this autumn include "the actual involvement of North Korea in the war."
A Western diplomat told the Kyiv Independent on Oct. 15 that North Korea has sent 10,000 soldiers to Russia to boost its war efforts against Ukraine.
According to Suspilne's sources, the soldiers deserted around 7 kilometers (4 miles) from the border with Ukraine.
The motive behind their desertion has not yet been established, but the sources said that the Russian military is searching for the soldiers.
Russian commanders are attempting to conceal the soldiers' desertion from their higher-ups, the sources said.
Earlier this year, the two countries signed a mutual defense pact during Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to Pyongyang.
As part of the alliance, the North Korean military announced that an engineering unit would join Russian forces on the ground in Donetsk Oblast the following month.
No picture or video evidence has emerged to date that this went ahead.
Putin submitted the treaty, which stipulates that either nation must render military assistance to the other in the event of an attack, to the Russian State Duma for ratification on Oct. 14.

Europa is about the same size as Earth's moon – yet evidence suggests that, beneath its surface, it has more water than all Earth's oceans combined! See why we think this is the case and the implications for life. pic.twitter.com/oDKnoHLj08
— NASA Europa Clipper (@EuropaClipper) October 14, 2024
Imagine an alien moon where beneath a thick crust of ice lies an ocean more vast than all of Earth’s seas. This isn’t science fiction but the potential reality of Europa, one of Jupiter’s enigmatic moons. Roughly the size of our own Moon, Europa’s surface is a dazzling expanse of ice, but it’s what’s below the surface that has scientists buzzing with excitement.
Evidence gathered from NASA’s Galileo mission and subsequent observations from Hubble Space Telescope hints at a global ocean beneath Europa’s icy shell. This ocean isn’t just a small body of water; it’s estimated to contain twice the volume of Earth’s oceans. The proof? The moon’s magnetic field hints at a salty, conductive layer beneath the ice, which points towards a liquid water ocean.
What makes Europa’s ocean so intriguing is its potential habitability. Life, as we know it, requires liquid water, energy sources, and certain chemical elements. Europa seems to check all these boxes. The ocean could be kept warm by tidal heating—flexing caused by gravitational interactions with Jupiter and other moons. This process could drive hydrothermal activity on the ocean floor, providing the heat and chemicals necessary for life.
Moreover, Europa might undergo “cryovolcanism,” where water and other volatiles erupt to the surface, bringing material from the ocean up, potentially making it accessible for future missions to study. If life exists there, it would likely be microscopic, thriving in the nutrient-rich waters around hydrothermal vents, much like Earth’s deep-sea ecosystems.
The implications of finding life on Europa would be profound, suggesting life might be common in the universe, especially in icy moons. Missions like NASA’s “Europa Clipper” aim to delve deeper, studying this moon’s composition, ice shell, and potential plumes to confirm the ocean’s existence and assess its habitability.
Europa, with its hidden depths, beckons as a beacon for life beyond Earth, promising to unlock secrets that could redefine our understanding of biology and the cosmos.

The New York Jets suffered a loss in a hard-fought game against the Buffalo Bills on Monday night with the Bills clinching the victory with a game-sealing interception late in the fourth quarter.
But it sounds like quarterback Aaron Rodgers is placing the blame on one of his wide receivers.
On the play, Aaron Rodgers was trying to throw a deep pass to veteran wide receiver Mike Williams, who appeared open on the play if the ball was thrown deep enough.
The ball appeared to be underthrown a bit, resulting in an interception as Williams slipped while trying to come back to the ball.
It appeared to be a bad throw from Rodgers. But after the game, he seemingly placed the blame on Williams.
“There’s two verticals, Allen’s down the seam and Mike’s down the redline… so I’m throwing a no look to the redline,” Rodgers said after the game in a video shared by Emmanuel Acho.
“When I peak my eyes back there Mike’s running an ‘in-breaker’ … it’s gotta be down the redline.”
The good news for the Jets is that they did get a bit of a boost to their offense by trading for Las Vegas Raiders star wide receiver Davante Adams – a former teammate of Rodgers with the Green Bay Packers.
We’ll have to see how Adams helps their passing game.

PHOENIX — Both parties are ramping up their efforts to court Native American voters in the final stretch to Election Day.
This demographic could swing the election results in several closely divided states like Arizona.
Native Health, an urban Indian health center, has held several voter registration events across the Grand Canyon state in the run-up to the election.
“I always think that the Native vote in Arizona shouldn't be discounted,” said Walter Murillo, CEO of Native Health. “In such a tight race, I think any marginal or incremental influence that a candidate or issue might have really, really depends on convincing American-Indian voters.”
President Biden only won Arizona in 2020 by about 10,000 votes — less than a 1% margin — in a state where Native Americans make up 5% of the population.
Native Americans have traditionally voted for Democrats, and the Harris campaign is seeking to ensure that pattern continues in 2024.
The Harris campaign on Oct. 2 launched the Native Americans for Harris-Walz coalition, aiming to mobilize tribal leaders, organizations and voters. The campaign dubbed its operations in Arizona, home to 22 federally recognized tribes, the “most expansive tribal organizing program ever in the state,” a campaign official told NPR on Oct. 12, speaking on background to discuss sensitive campaign strategy.
The campaign has already hired over 20 staff members, with plans for more, to focus on the state’s tribal areas. This is the largest Native voter outreach team for a Democratic presidential campaign in the state. Staff dedicated to Native American communities have also been hired in Wisconsin.
The Democratic National Committee on Monday announced a six-figure ad campaign targeting Native voters — dubbed the “I will Vote” campaign — in Arizona, North Carolina, Montana and Alaska, with digital, print, and radio ads with a majority being placed in local and national Native-owned publications. This is their third, and most expensive, Native-focused ad campaign.
Vice President Harris on Oct. 8 received an endorsement from the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe in Nevada, the first-ever endorsement from the tribe in a presidential election, with the tribe citing record funding to tribes and Native American federal appointments.
Tribal leaders and young people in Nevada and Arizona spoke with Harris and her running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz last week as they rallied in western swing states.
“It means so much to be back with the Gila River Indian Community,” Harris said, noting that last summer she was the first vice president to visit that tribe, mainly based outside Phoenix. “I strongly believe that the relationship between tribal nations in the United States is sacred — and that we must honor tribal sovereignty, embrace our trust in treaty obligations and ensure tribal self-determination.”
Voters already making their choices
At a powwow in Phoenix, tribal members gathered for an evening of dancing, fry bread and sales.
Kevin Jackson, a member of White Mountain Apache, has “Democracy is Indigenous” flags above his jewelry stand. He has already cast his ballot for Harris.
“I think we need someone in there who's going to help out and help us build our infrastructure because right now it's awful,” Jackson said, noting he hopes to attend the inauguration if she is elected.
Across the park, Charles Quimayousie is making his way through the vendors. A member of the Tohono O’odham tribe, he also hopes Harris wins.
“That wall just feels too prejudiced to me,” Quimayousie said, referring to Trump’s border wall — one of the former president’s signature campaign promises to stem migration into the U.S.
“It's a good thing, but it just turns me away because when they built that, it went right through my reservation, and some of my people are still on that side, so I'm against that all the way,” he said.
Both said their tribes generally would agree with them — though there are members who will support Trump.
Gerel Nells, who lives in Mesa and is Navajo said that between Harris and Trump he prefers Trump.
“I did like the fact that Trump put aside a plan for the missing and murdered Indigenous women of this nation,” he said. However, he has already turned in his ballot for comedian Dave Chappelle.
GOP hopes to stave off Democratic efforts
To the east of Phoenix, across the border in Gallup, New Mexico, members of the Navajo Nation pulled in to set up their booths and shop at the Gallup Flea Market, on a sunny Saturday morning.
Navajo Nation, also known as the Dine, is the largest federally recognized tribe both in terms of enrolled members and geographical land. Its territory spans the state borders of Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. Organizers are looking beyond state lines for mobilizing Arizona voters.
“I do feel like the Natives kind of brought it over last time to the Democrat side,” said Ina Noggle, who was tending to the Arizona GOP’s table at the market. She's campaigning for Trump in Arizona.
“We're just out there trying to present the different platforms and what they have been familiar with and explaining to them that the Democrat Party is no longer the party of their grandparents and their parents,” she said. Noggle talks to voters about issues like abortion and energy independence.
Noggle, Halee Dobbins — the RNC’s communications director — and others at the event said they were not asking market-goers to vote for a specific candidate — but rather approached the conversation by talking about values.
“It makes the conversation more fruitful and more productive, honestly,” Dobbins said. “If you talk to the Navajos based on their values, that's where you really get people to feel comfortable talking about who are they going to vote for. You don't want to start with ‘Are you just going to vote for this candidate?’”
She said the Trump campaign has been meeting with Navajo Nation members at markets, rodeos, parades, and other local events, and Arizona GOP ran an ad on tribal radio to urge voters to “vote Republican.” The campaign didn’t share statistics about how much they’re spending on Native voters overall.
As a part of their showing at the flea market, the McKinley County GOP drove about a dozen cars waving GOP flags for Trump, and New Mexican Republican candidates by honking their horns. Some people waved and honked back. Others grumbled at them to get out.
Making inroads
Still, GOP organizers said they have noticed a change.
“Four years ago it was like, we’d get like so many fingers,” said Pablo Martinez, who is the McKinley County GOP chair and joined Arizona organizers at the market. “But it's different now. Like people are coming out of their shells and there’s a little more pride.”
At the stand, market-goers picked up signs and stickers in support of Trump and Senate GOP candidate Kari Lake. Tribal members walking by assured their support.
Democrats had their own presence in the market.
Brenda Hoskie, a member of the Navajo Nation and chair of the McKinley County Democratic Party in New Mexico, said she had organized precincts and others to put up mutton stew stands on Election Day and for early voting, which began last week.
“After people vote, they can eat and give out signs,” she said.
Since the Navajo Nation stretches across both states, she hopes her efforts will shore up Democratic support among the Navajo in Arizona, as well the San Juan Southern Paiute tribes.
“We need to win Arizona. So I'm out there making sure that we are not sitting back,” Hoskie said.

After 75 years, the hardware store True Value filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and will sell most of the company to one of its competitors.
True Value announced the bankruptcy filing and looming sale to Do it Best in a news release on Tuesday.
“After a thorough evaluation of strategic alternatives, we determined that the sale of our business was the path forward to maximize value and best serve our retail partners and other stakeholders into the future,” CEO Chris Kempa said in the release. “We believe that entering the process with an agreed offer from Do it Best, who has a similar decades-long history in the home improvement space and also operates with a focus on supporting members and helping them grow, is the most beneficial next step for True Value and our associates, customers, and vendor partners. We thank these valued stakeholders for their continued loyalty as we work to secure a stronger future for True Value.”
The sale to Do it Best, which is considered a “stalking horse” or lead bidder, should be finished by the end of the year.
The company will continue serving its 4,500 independently owned stores that sell True Value products. All but one store is independently owned and will not be sold. The lone company store is in Palatine, Illinois, True Value said.
It has already modernized its legacy operations and made other changes to the business, including adding more marketing campaigns.

Bandai Namco cuts workforce after cancelling games due to diminishing demand: Report
Bandai Namco Holdings Inc. is reducing its workforce after canceling several games due to declining demand. This follows a trend among gaming firms facing industry challenges.
Bandai Namco Holdings Inc., the iconic video game publisher behind titles such as Pac-Man, Dragon Ball, and Gundam, is reducing its workforce following the cancellation of several games due to diminishing demand, reported Bloomberg.
Since April, Bandai Namco Studios Inc., an affiliate of the company, has relocated approximately 200 out of its 1,300 employees to so-called “expulsion rooms," or oidashi beya, added the report.
As per the wire, these rooms, a tactic sometimes used by Japanese corporations to sidestep the country’s stringent labour laws, provide employees with no work-related tasks, effectively putting them under pressure to leave. Nearly 100 employees have resigned since the implementation of this practice, with more departures expected in the coming months.
Despite these claims, Bandai Namco denies using such methods to force staff out. A company representative stated, "Our decisions to discontinue games are based on comprehensive assessments. While some employees may experience delays before being assigned to new projects, we do not have an organisation like an 'expulsion room' to pressure people into leaving voluntarily."
Reportedly, the gaming giant has been under mounting pressure to reduce costs amid a post-pandemic decline in user engagement with video games. Smartphone and online games, in particular, have suffered from waning interest. This downturn prompted Bandai Namco to overhaul its game lineup, resulting in a ¥21 billion ($141 million) writedown over the first three quarters of the fiscal year.
The company recently shut down its smartphone game Tales of the Rays and plans to discontinue its major online game Blue Protocol in January. It has also either cancelled or paused several projects, including games based on popular anime series such as Naruto and One Piece.
This trend mirrors moves by rival gaming firms, including Square Enix and Sony, which have also cancelled underperforming titles amid growing challenges in the sector.

Oregon coaches exploited a loophole in the rulebook and it could result in in-season action from the NCAA.
With 10 seconds left in the Ducks' win over Ohio State on Saturday, the Buckeyes were driving to get into range for what would have been a game-winning field goal when Oregon called a timeout. After the stoppage, the Ducks sent 12 defenders onto the field for a third-down play that resulted in an incomplete pass and left Ohio State with just six seconds on the clock.
Flagged for illegal participation, Oregon essentially traded having an extra defensive back on an obvious passing down for a five-yard penalty that burned four seconds off the clock — a savvy move that is now garnering scrutiny.
Steve Shaw, the NCAA secretary rules editor, told Yahoo Sports on Tuesday that the NCAA Football Playing Rules Committee is actively “engaged” in examining the play for possible action. The Big Ten officiating crew handled the play appropriately, Shaw said, but the rules committee is discussing a way to address the play.
In the past, the rules committee has responded to such “fair play” incidents with interpretation bulletins released during a season. The bulletins are often meant to be a directive for officials in games in the future.
“We’ve had good dialogue on this play,” Shaw told Yahoo Sports. “We’ve recognized the way it played out.”
Mid-season rules interpretations are not common but they have happened in the past for similar plays that violate a rules committee component — that a penalty should not benefit the team penalized. The goal of any interpretation is to discourage coaches from further exploiting the rules, which can only be changed during a longer off-season process.
To discourage the action in the Oregon-Ohio State game, any interpretation would likely direct officials to return the game clock to its original time. Shaw declined to comment on any specifics.
In an interview on Monday, a grinning Oregon coach Dan Lanning seemed to acknowledge that coaches intentionally inserted a 12th player — a defensive back — to assist in an obvious passing down.
“We spend an inordinate amount of time on situations, and there are some situations that don't show up very often in college football,” he said, “but this is one that obviously we have worked on. So you can see the result.”

The National Conference (NC) has reached out to top Indian National Democratic Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc leaders, including Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, to attend the swearing-in ceremony of the party vice president Omar Abdullah as next Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir on October 16 in Srinagar.
ADVERTISEMENT
“There are a lot of expectations from the new government. The Centre needs to restore Statehood soon and grant all the powers to the government to provide relief to the public,” NC president Dr. Abdullah said, a day ahead of his son’s swearing-in ceremony.
Omar Abdullah will take over as the next CM of J&K in a ceremony on Wednesday morning at the Sher-i-Kashmir International Convention Centre (SKICC) on the banks of the Dal lake. All top leaders of the INDIA bloc have been invited by the NC to attend the ceremony of the government formation, which is taking place after 10 years and for the first time since J&K’s special status was abrogated in 2019.
ADVERTISEMENT
Besides the Gandhis, NC ally Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge will also attend the function. Those others invited to the ceremony included Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) president Sharad Pawar, Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav, and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) Lalu Prasad Yadav.
Besides, Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal, NCP Member of Parliament Supriya Sule, Mr. Stalin’s sister Kanimozhi Karunanidhi, CPI leader D. Raja, and CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat were also invited, party sources said. CPI(M) general secretary Prakash Karat and SP president Mr. Yadav have already arrived in Srinagar, they added..
“I congratulate the people of Kashmir. They have reposed their trust in democracy, elected their government and safeguarded the Constitution. The next step is to restore full Statehood of J&K. I have full faith in Mr. Omar Abdullah. He will fulfil his responsibilities as the next Chief Minister,” Mr. Yadav, who arrived in Srinagar on Tuesday, said.
ADVERTISEMENT
J&K as a Union Territory has only 10 Ministerial posts. Around nine Ministers are likely to be sworn in in the UT cabinet. “It is a red letter day. A new government is coming after 6.5 years. May god give strength to Omar Abdullah to raise people’s voice,” NC spokesman Imran Nabi Dar said.
Meanwhile, the Congress, which is part of the coalition in J&K, appointed Ghulam Ahmad Mir as the Congress Legislature Party leader. The NC had won 42 and the Congress just six seats in the Assembly elections.
“This is to inform you that following the unanimous resolution of the members of the Legislative Assembly, Jammu and Kashmir, authorising the honourable Congress President to appoint a new CLP leader, the honourable Congress president has appointed Shri G.A. Mir as the new CLP leader of Jammu & Kashmir,” an order issued by Congress leader K.C. Venugopal said. It has paved the way for Mr. Mir’s likely entry into the Abdullah-led Cabinet on Wednesday.

Provincial Minister For Livestock And Agriculture Syed Ashiq Hussain Reviews Process Of Animals Distribution Among Widows, Divorced Women
Muhammad Irfan Published October 15, 2024 | 08:09 PM
Provincial Minister for Livestock and Agriculture Syed Ashiq Hussain chaired a meeting at Veterinary Research Institute Lahore in which timeline and progress of the distribution of animals among widows and divorced women of South Punjab as well as the Livestock Card schemes of CM Punjab were reviewed
LAHORE, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 15th Oct, 2024) Provincial Minister for Livestock and Agriculture Syed Ashiq Hussain chaired a meeting at Veterinary Research Institute Lahore in which timeline and progress of the distribution of animals among widows and divorced women of South Punjab as well as the Livestock Card schemes of CM Punjab were reviewed.
Livestock Secretary Punjab Saqib Ali Ateel participated in the meeting.
Syed Ashiq Hussain Kirmani while addressing the meeting said that according to the directive of chief minister of Punjab, the government was active for the welfare of rural women under which distribution of animals among widows & divorced women of South Punjab and Livestock Card schemes had been introduced for the welfare of cattle farmers, which are being implemented. He said that the timeline of both projects should be ensured. In this regard, he directed to speed up the publicity campaign through print, electronic and social media.
The minister maintained that the Punjab government had initiated livestock assets project to empower rural women and make them stand on their own feet. Two billion rupees had been allocated for the scheme under which, 11 thousand cows would be distributed among rural women. He endorsed that in the programme of transfer of livestock assets to rural women, it should be kept in mind that for those women who cannot send their ID card to 9211 through SMS for applying, could apply by coming to the Union Council office nearest veterinary center.
The minister was told during the briefing by the Urban Unit that three officials had been assigned for the physical verification of women in each district, so that the work of verification of eligible women could be completed as soon as possible.
Kirmani further highlighted that Livestock Card was a revolutionary project, which would be given on "first come first served" basis. Through the scheme, for the first time in history, 4.5 billion rupees would be provided to 80,000 cattle farmers without interest. The limit of the credit amount was 135,000 to 270,000 rupees. In addition, the condition of 5 to 10 loans was mandatory. Farmers will not get this money in the form of cash, but they could only buy Vanda, Silage and Mineral Mixture from it. The aim of the scheme was to prepare four lakh animals through fattening, which would increase meat production and exports, he added.
DG Livestock (Extension) Dr Muhammad Ashraf told the provincial minister in a briefing that the number of merchants for livestock card had so far reached 936, while the identification of about 27 thousand potential livestock farmers and more than two lakhs animals had been completed.
Additional Secretary Livestock Dr. Usman Tahir, Director General (Research) Dr. Sajjad Hussain, DG (Production) Dr. Muhammad Yusuf, representatives of Urban Unit ,PITB and Punjab Social Protection Authority also participated in the meeting.

Chinese brand Skywell has revealed a new electric hatchback bringing a range of more than 300 miles and a high-tech interior.
Named the Q and due in the UK late next year, it's said to be the EV company’s first car developed specifically for the European market.
At 4.30m long and 1.8m wide, it's positioned as a rival for the Kia EV3 and Volkswagen ID 3 and is claimed to major on practicality.
A front-mounted 201bhp motor is claimed to deliver a 0-62mph time of just 3.9sec – which, if verified, would mean the Q comfortably outpaces the 322bhp Cupra Born VZ, which needs 5.7sec.
Skywell has yet to disclose battery capacities but said two packs will be offered, the larger option yielding more than 300 miles of range. It will also be capable of recharging from 10-80% in just 20 minutes.
Inside, a large 15.6in infotainment touchscreen takes charge of most of the car’s functions, including displaying information such as speed and range.
The Q will also have wireless smartphone connectivity and touchscreens for rear passengers, Skywell said.
Pricing will be announced nearer the car’s arrival but is said to be “competitive”. For reference, the EV3 starts from £32,995, indicating the Q will start at around £30,000.
It will follow the Skywell BE11 electric crossover, introduced to the UK earlier this year by independent importer Innovation Automotive.

U.S. lawmakers from the Democratic and Republican parties are pressuring President Volodymyr Zelensky to further lower the age of mandatory military conscription, said Presidential Office advisor Serhii Leshchenko on Oct. 15.
Ukraine's parliament adopted an updated mobilization law in mid-April to ramp up mobilization amid Russia's ongoing war. The new law simplifies the process for identifying eligible conscripts and includes additional penalties for those dodging the draft.
Another law, signed by the president just before the mobilization law was passed, lowered the minimum age of compulsory military service from 27 to 25.
Leshchenko said that U.S. lawmakers have been pressuring Zelensky and continuing to ask why men aged 18-25 are not being mobilized.
"(The) Americans are hinting, Western weapons alone are not enough, we need mobilization from the age of 18."
The unnamed U.S. lawmakers have reportedly cited America's experience in the Vietnam War, when men aged 18-26 were drafted to fight. Some 2.2 million U.S. soldiers were conscripted to fight in the war through the selective service process.
Leshchenko said that Zelensky has thus far refused to budge on changing the conscription age, and has instead continued to press for the delivery of more U.S. military aid.
After the new law on mobilization came into force in Ukraine on May 18, military-aged men were given 60 days to update their personal data so that the state could locate them. The deadline for updating data expired on July 17, 2024.
From May 18 to July 16, 4,690,496 military-aged men updated their data by the July 17 deadline, according to the Defense Ministry.

The Ohio Democratic Party sought judgement from the Ohio Supreme Court to rescind LaRose’s order that requires individuals delivering absentee ballots on behalf of a family member or disabled person to enter their BOE during business hours and fill out the attestation form when submitting the ballot, a plea that was denied in an opinion published by the court on Tuesday.
The decision was rendered on party lines, with the court’s four Republicans siding with fellow Republican LaRose, and the three Democrats dissenting.
In a statement issued soon after the ruling, LaRose said the court’s decision will “protect the integrity of Ohio’s elections.”
“... Political activists tried once again to dismantle the safeguards we’ve put in place, specifically in this case against ballot harvesting, and they’ve been rejected,” LaRose’s statement reads. “This is the same policy that’s been used successfully in other states, and it’s designed to protect both individuals and election officials from accusations of illegal voting. The court’s decision should reinforce the confidence Ohio voters have in the security, honesty, and accountability of our elections.”
LaRose’s drop box directive came after a federal court in July ruled in a case brought by the League of Women Voters of Ohio that Ohio’s law allowing only certain family members and the U.S. Postal Service to deliver absentee ballots violates federal law allowing disabled people to choose who they want to deliver their ballot.
Each county board of elections is allowed to have one secure drop box at the board office. They are monitored via video and a bipartisan team of election workers removes absentee ballots people have put in the box.
Local elections officials say the secure drop boxes are very popular with voters and give people who don’t want to use the U.S. Postal Service a way to deliver absentee ballots without having to come inside the office when it is open.

Communal tension erupts in North Tripura, internet suspended
By IANS | Published: October 15, 2024 10:41 PM2024-10-15T22:41:04+5:302024-10-15T22:45:03+5:30
Agartala, Oct 15 Huge contingent of security forces deployed, prohibitory order clamped and mobile internet services were suspended ...
Agartala, Oct 15 Huge contingent of security forces deployed, prohibitory order clamped and mobile internet services were suspended in the entire North Tripura District for three days after communal tensions flared up at Pekucherra on Tuesday after a Shiva temple and a mosque were vandalised, officials said.
A police official said that a large contingent of security forces including Tripura State Rifles were deployed after the unrest started late on Monday night when “unknown miscreants’ damaged a Shiva temple at the mixed populated Pekucherra.
He said in retaliation, a group of people vandalised a mosque causing serious tension in the entire mixed populated areas.
Considering the communal tension and to prevent further escalation of any violence, state’s Home Secretary Pradeep Kumar Chakraborty suspended the mobile internet services in the entire North Tripura district for three days.
The District authority has promulgated the prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) for three days in the entire Dharmanagar Sub-Division restricting movement of five or more people, public gatherings and carrying of lethal and non-lethal weapons by the civilians.
The area had already been tense after a recent rape of a Hindu girl. Two rape suspects had been arrested in connection with the crime. But the people were in anguish and the temple vandalism further inflamed the situation.
The Pekucherra incident occurred a week after a communal clash at nearby Kadamtala in the same North Tripura district leaving one dead and more than 17 people including policemen injured.
The Kadamtala incident occurred for two consecutive days after the clash between different religious communities over the collection of Durga Puja donations and people of different communities attacked each other’s many houses, and hundreds of shops on October 6.
Amidst the communal tension, Director General of Police Amitabh Ranjan in an urgent order transferred the North Tripura District Superintendent of Police Bhanupada Chakraborty and directed Dhalai district SP Avinash Rai to look after the work of SP, North Tripura District, in addition.
Rai, who visited the troubled Pekucherra areas to assess the ground situation and to bring the situation under control, said that the latest situation is under control and peaceful.
“There were some minor clashes. Peace meetings are going on now. All senior officers are present on the spot,” the IPS officer told the media.
There is no report of any arrest, so far.

Elon Musk, a name synonymous with pushing boundaries, has once again set his sights on a goal that’s not just out of this world, but literally off-planet: colonizing Mars.
In a recent X post, Musk laid out the staggering figures behind his vision of making life multiplanetary. Here’s why this endeavor, while inspiring, presents an unprecedented challenge.
Currently, transporting a ton of equipment to Mars costs approximately $1 billion. Musk’s analysis reveals that to establish a self-sustaining city on Mars, we’re talking about moving a million tons of equipment. With today’s technology, this would balloon into costs exceeding $1,000 trillion, a figure dwarfing the US GDP by over 30 times.
The solution? Musk proposes a 1,000-fold improvement in rocket technology. If achieved, the cost could plummet to around $1 trillion, spread over decades, making the project feasible without crippling Earth’s economy. This monumental leap in efficiency is where Musk’s Starship comes into play, designed not just to fly but to revolutionize space travel’s economics.

— SpaceX (@SpaceX) October 13, 2024
However, the practicality of this vision is under scrutiny. Critics argue that even if Starship realizes these efficiency gains, the initial investment, the technological hurdles, and the sheer risk of failure pose significant barriers. Moreover, the environmental and ethical implications of such a colonial venture on Mars are fiercely debated.
Yet, Musk’s vision isn’t just about technology; it’s a testament to human ambition and survival instinct. If successful, it could ensure humanity’s continuity beyond Earth, potentially transforming Mars into a second cradle for life.
The debate continues, but one thing is clear: Musk’s Mars plan is not just a project; it’s a philosophical stance on humanity’s future, one that challenges us to think beyond our planet, towards the stars. Whether it’s a feasible dream or a costly fantasy, only time—and perhaps a successful Starship flight—will tell.

The New York Jets lost an important divisional game to the Buffalo Bills on Monday night.
The loss dropped New York to 2-4 and scrambling for answers. The loss was especially crushing because an interception cost them an enormous opportunity late in the game.
Typically, quarterbacks show grace in the face of costly turnovers and take responsibility for mistakes rather than throwing teammates under the bus. Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has taken a different route.
“It was two verticals,” Rodgers said of the play where the interception occurred on an attempted pass to receiver Mike Williams, via Pro Football Talk.
“Allen [Lazard is] down the seam, Mike’s down the red line. So I’m looking at Allen, he puts his hand up, three guys go with him. So I’m throwing a no-look to the red line. And when I just peek my eyes back there, he’s running an in-breaker. So. Um, it’s gotta be down the red line.”
A reporter asked if Rodgers threw the ball expecting Willimas to come back to it.
“No, I was throwing to the red line,” Rodgers responded. “But when I got to about here [gesturing with his arm], I realized he was running an in-breaker. So I had to kind of adjust it a little bit. But the play is two guys vertical, one guy down the seam, one guy in the red line.”
Those who have followed Rodgers’ career won’t be surprised by his immaturity in handling the situation, but it’s shocking to see him still behaving this way at his advanced age.

SCOTT DETROW, HOST:
Writer Carrie Lowry Schuettpelz says that she's always been a data nerd. So when she started writing about Native American identity, that's where she turned.
CARRIE LOWRY SCHUETTPELZ: And so I started looking at the Census data, and it's hard to miss the fact that the number of people in this country checking the box for American Indian, Alaska Native has just skyrocketed.
DETROW: That got her thinking about what it means to be Native American in the U.S. and the history of how that came to be. The result is her new book, "The Indian Card: Who Gets To Be Native In America." It's the story of how the federal government came to categorize Native identity, things like blood quantum, land allotments and tribal enrollment, policies that she argues have not been great.
LOWRY SCHUETTPELZ: And so I thought, you know, I should write something that talks about my own struggles with my Native identity and my feeling of disconnection.
DETROW: She explores the disconnection through the personal stories of people whose lives have been shaped by these forces and begins with her own story, when she had to consider renewing the card that says she's an enrolled member of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina.
LOWRY SCHUETTPELZ: I remember sitting in my condo in D.C. all those years ago, when I was contemplating renewing my enrollment, just sort of, like, rolling the card over and over in my fingers, thinking, where in the world did this come from? This is not something that my, you know, generations-ago ancestors would have held in their wallet. And so why is it that we do it now?
And so I think all of those things sort of converged into this idea of, I got to do research. I got to figure out the answers to some of these questions. And also, you know, my story is one story, and it's somewhat unique in the sense that my tribe, the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina, is not federally recognized. And so I thought that it was important to include other voices, not because they represent the entire universe of experience, but they certainly give us a sense of the patterns that we see.
DETROW: There's a lot of your book that's about just the broader idea of community and shared experience and belonging and this particular tension when it comes to Native communities that. for many people, it's not a geographic community. It might not even be a community that's immediately present in their lives. And yet, it is a very important part of community for them.
LOWRY SCHUETTPELZ: The federal government enacted a lot of policies in the 20th century that actually resulted in this sense of disconnection for a lot of Native people today. One of those was relocation, the Relocation Act, where Native people were sent to urban centers that they had never been to and that were far away from their Native communities, and then expected to sort of get a job and create their own community. I mean, there are people who are still suffering from those policies today.
And so the idea of disconnection, the idea of being a long way away from your tribal community is something that I think we're seeing the consequences of today. And to be clear, some people choose to move, and that's fine, too, right? But I think as it relates to sort of these structural policy moments that have created the situation that we find ourselves in today, that's really problematic that now, all of a sudden, we have all of these Native people who have ended up thousands of miles, you know, from their Native community because of policies that the federal government has enacted.
DETROW: I'm wondering if, as we talk about how these decisions made decades ago affect people's lives today, can you tell us about one of the people you met and interviewed?
LOWRY SCHUETTPELZ: One that has really sort of stuck with me since writing the book was the story of not just my friend, Karen Diver, who was formerly President Obama's senior adviser in Native policy, but her uncle, Don (ph). He's 84 years old. And he was stolen to boarding school at age 5, Indian boarding school, and really didn't return home until he was 18, went straight into the military and then went straight to Cleveland, Ohio, hundreds of miles away from his tribe up in northern Minnesota as part of the...
DETROW: He didn't see his parents for years and years at a time.
LOWRY SCHUETTPELZ: He didn't see his parents for years and years at a time, and then ended up in Cleveland as part of the Indian Relocation Act, and still today lives there. He doesn't feel a lot of connection to his tribe because of all of these policies that have been, you know, forced upon him as a Native person. But what's really interesting about Don and sort of that story is he spent the vast majority of his life - he's 84 - thinking that the boarding school era was just something that his parents let happen, that he was stolen away to boarding school and no one ever tried to bring him home.
Well, doing some historical deep diving into the archives, I was able to find Don's Indian boarding school records. And in those records, we found handwritten letters from his mother and sister begging officials to send him home. I mean, these are things he never saw, he didn't know existed. And there's all of this stuff that exists for Native people that they have no idea. It's, you know, catalogued somewhere in the National Archives. That was a game-changer for Don. I mean, that's something that's going to - not right the wrong of what happened, but it's certainly going to help bring some closure to that awful period of his life.
DETROW: It really struck me when you write about finding the cold, inpersonal bureaucratic paperwork about his removal from his family.
LOWRY SCHUETTPELZ: It's something that, at age 5, certainly he didn't understand, but that he came to terms with the older he got. But without any sense of -you know, he's never seen a picture of himself before he was 18 years old.
DETROW: Wow.
LOWRY SCHUETTPELZ: He has no childhood relics. He has nothing from childhood, no finger paintings, no nothing. And he also has no stories from his family. He can't ask anyone what he was like as a kid because he was at boarding school. And so it's just - it's so much lost everything, lost information, but also lost experience and lost childhood that has happened as part of, again, these federal policies, and in this case, Indian boarding schools.
DETROW: What are one or two things that you thought about much differently at the end of this process than the beginning?
LOWRY SCHUETTPELZ: You know, it's interesting. I started writing a book about identity, and the only thing I could think of coming out of it was land (laughter).
DETROW: Yeah.
LOWRY SCHUETTPELZ: And so one of the things I've been thinking a lot about, and I've been working on a project through the Native Policy Lab, which I direct at the University of Iowa, is, how much land has been stolen through each of these treaties and each of these pieces of legislation? Who owns it now? And how can we make it so that tribes get it back?
And certainly I'm not suggesting that we go door to door to private citizens and say, hey, you need to give your land back to the tribes. What I'm saying is, certainly there are large swaths of land owned by the federal government today that don't belong to them. And so how can we achieve sort of a reality where tribes get their ancestral homelands and then also are able to do the same sorts of things that any private citizen who owns land can do, things like monetize the land? And so I think that, interestingly, that is sort of where my mind has shifted in the last several months.
DETROW: That is author Carrie Lowry Schuettpelz. Her book is "The Indian Card: Who Gets To Be Native In America." Thank you so much.

Bandai Namco Holdings Inc., the iconic video game publisher behind titles such as Pac-Man, Dragon Ball, and Gundam, is reducing its workforce following the cancellation of several games due to diminishing demand, reported Bloomberg.
Since April, Bandai Namco Studios Inc., an affiliate of the company, has relocated approximately 200 out of its 1,300 employees to so-called “expulsion rooms," or oidashi beya, added the report.
As per the wire, these rooms, a tactic sometimes used by Japanese corporations to sidestep the country’s stringent labour laws, provide employees with no work-related tasks, effectively putting them under pressure to leave. Nearly 100 employees have resigned since the implementation of this practice, with more departures expected in the coming months.
Despite these claims, Bandai Namco denies using such methods to force staff out. A company representative stated, "Our decisions to discontinue games are based on comprehensive assessments. While some employees may experience delays before being assigned to new projects, we do not have an organisation like an 'expulsion room' to pressure people into leaving voluntarily."
Reportedly, the gaming giant has been under mounting pressure to reduce costs amid a post-pandemic decline in user engagement with video games. Smartphone and online games, in particular, have suffered from waning interest. This downturn prompted Bandai Namco to overhaul its game lineup, resulting in a ¥21 billion ($141 million) writedown over the first three quarters of the fiscal year.
The company recently shut down its smartphone game Tales of the Rays and plans to discontinue its major online game Blue Protocol in January. It has also either cancelled or paused several projects, including games based on popular anime series such as Naruto and One Piece.
This trend mirrors moves by rival gaming firms, including Square Enix and Sony, which have also cancelled underperforming titles amid growing challenges in the sector.

CARY, N.C., Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Will generative AI prove itself a bane or boon to the insurance industry? A new study exploring the use of generative AI in insurance suggests that 9 in 10 insurers plan to invest in GenAI in the next year. The enthusiasm is palpable – but survey data also shows that the ethical and regulatory implications of innovation continue to vex many insurers, even as analytic ingenuity promises to help the sector address its biggest challenges.
"Insurance is a notoriously slow-moving industry, but insurers are proving to be GenAI trailblazers."
The study, Your journey to a GenAI future: An insurer's strategic path to success , comes from a global multi-industry survey by SAS, a data and AI company serving 47 of the world's 50 largest global insurers, and Coleman Parks Research Ltd. Its findings offer an insider's look at how insurance companies worldwide are implementing, budgeting for and strategizing around GenAI, based on survey insights from 236 industry decision makers. Additional insurance and cross-sector results from industries like banking, health care, life sciences and government can be compared and contrasted via SAS' interactive GenAI survey data dashboard .
"Insurance is a notoriously slow-moving industry, but insurers are proving to be GenAI trailblazers, showing remarkable GenAI investment and excitement," said Franklin Manchester, Principal Global Insurance Advisor at SAS. "We're not looking at an AI bubble set to burst, and that's a good thing – but it's clear that the insurance sector, like other industries, has obstacles to overcome.
1. Insurers are jumping into GenAI...budget and strategy first. With 89% of insurance sector respondents planning to invest in GenAI in 2025, 92% of that number have a dedicated GenAI budget in the works.
Among the industry's goals for investing in GenAI, the top three emerged as:
Already, two-thirds (68%) of insurance professionals surveyed reported using some form of GenAI in their professional roles at least once a week. About 1 in 5 (22%) professed they use the technology daily. While only 11% of respondents said their organization had fully implemented GenAI, another 49% indicated they were already in the process of implementing it.
"GenAI is not a silver bullet, but insurers are finding it can provide many more pieces of the jigsaw puzzle, including in areas that have previously proven quite difficult, like the ingestion of unstructured data," said Joe Rowe, Data and AI Insurance Lead for UK, Ireland and Africa at Accenture. "Claims and underwriting are prime examples where GenAI is helping the human in the loop extract insights and make better decisions."
2. Insurance expressed more concern about GenAI ethics than other industries. Insurance decisionmakers showed themselves modestly more anxious about GenAI ethics than their counterparts in other industries. Among insurance respondents, 59% indicated concern about the ethical implications of their organization's GenAI; that's in contrast to a cross-industry average of 52%.
Despite insurers' deeper ethics worries, their plans for governance and monitoring – efforts that would include the creation, implementation and maintenance of ethical frameworks – remain works in progress:
"The use of GenAI is progressing quite rapidly, but to develop it responsibly, insurers must have an alignment of people, processes and technology, all working together to drive use cases from experimentation into operations and production," said Rowe. "Proper governance requires focus and investment."
In alignment with other industries, insurance pros named data privacy (cited by 75%) and data security (73%) as their foremost concerns related to their organizations' use of GenAI. It's little wonder; citizen fraudsters who employ GenAI – and career criminals employing the technology for larger scale frauds and financial crimes like money laundering and terrorism financing – are on the rise. In the fraud tech arms race, GenAI may well become table stakes to keep pace with bad actors.
3. Insurers look for answers for the data drought. Complementing concerns about AI ethics are regulatory compliance worries. Only 1 in 10 (11%) of insurance respondents reported that their organization is fully prepared to comply with current and upcoming GenAI regulations. Ethically deployed GenAI use cases are drawing interest among insurers.
For instance, large language models (LLMs) require huge amounts of data which may not be available in existing productions systems to properly treat edge cases. There's a serious lack of large datasets, combed for bias and checked for data quality, in insurance – a veritable data drought.
Why is this important? The quality and quantity of data used to train GenAI and other AI models can make or break the accuracy, fairness and equity of the model's results in claims and policy decisions.
Furthermore, insurers, as fiduciaries, safeguard significant volumes of sensitive personal identifiable information. With data privacy anxiety growing, synthetic data – artificial data manufactured to realistically mimic real-world data, used to enrich existing datasets without compromising customer privacy – could provide an answer.
More than a quarter (27%) of insurance industry survey respondents reported using synthetic data; nearly a third (30%) said they were actively considering it, and 22% reported they might consider it.
"Many insurance decisionmakers are actively working on GenAI projects that could transform how carriers do business," said Manchester. "Innovative spark is alive and well in insurance, and we can only nurture that flame when we embrace the tenets of responsible innovation . This includes establishing and maintaining policies and processes that protect customers and the integrity of the data we use."
"The next step is clear: Insurers must embrace ethical frameworks and data rigor as their true north to realize the transformative potential – and full value – of GenAI technology."
Unleashing the power of GenAI in insurance As insurers navigate the risks and rewards of their GenAI journeys, it's crucial to keep up with the latest data. How can insurers effectively and ethically implement GenAI?

Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has warned that granting full autonomy to Nigeria’s 774 local government areas could lead to “humongous chaos,” arguing that such a move would not result in sustainable development.
He made this statement on Tuesday at the Governor’s Lodge in Amawbia, Awka, after signing the Anambra State Local Government Administration Law.
The law, titled “Anambra Local Government Administration Law 2024,” was passed by the State House of Assembly last Thursday.
Soludo emphasised that Section 7 of the constitution empowers state governments to enact laws for the administration of local government areas, underscoring the importance of state oversight.
He said, “The absolute autonomy to the 774 local government areas in the country is an impossibility. In fact, it is a recipe for humongous chaos. The attendant challenges before the issue of local government autonomy are such that would certainly deepen the fate of the system and spell doom for the expected beneficiaries of the process if not well planned.”
Soludo explained that the new legislation aims to ensure consistency, transparency, and collaboration among the different tiers of government.
He stated, “The new laws by Anambra House of Assembly are therefore consequential to give operational life to the Supreme Court judgment and not to undermine it. If the State House of Assembly abdicates this constitutional duty, the Local Government will then have no law on the use and management of its finance.”
He argued that collaboration between state and local governments is crucial, warning that many local governments could face financial crises without proper coordination, potentially requiring state bailouts.
Soludo added, “The Federal Government has exclusive rights over resources, but the state has exclusive rights over the land. At the state level, each state is spending a fortune on its revenue.
“No tier of government can function without the collaboration of others. The three tiers have the objective of the people. The FG is not completely autonomous of the state. It’s a collaborative arrangement to achieve the same objective.”
The governor also addressed allegations that state governors force local government chairmen to transfer funds to the state, dismissing them as unfounded.
“Governors are often accused of seeking to ‘control’ LG funds with insinuations that LG funds are mismanaged. Of course, in a society where public office is seen as ‘dining table’ and public trust is low, people judge others by their own standards,” he said.

Davante Adams is leaving Las Vegas and teaming up with an old friend once again.
The Raiders reportedly have agreed to trade the three-time All-Pro wide receiver to the New York Jets, reuniting him with quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
The Jets are sending a conditional third-round pick to the Raiders to complete the deal, NFL Media's Ian Rapoport reported. The pick reportedly could become a second-round pick based on performance.

It’s a conditional 3rd rounder going to the #Raiders that can become a 2nd rounder based on performance.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) October 15, 2024
(Fixed for clarity). https://t.co/2eFVyYkbyj
Rapoport reported that Adams was in the building and taking a physical with the Jets Wednesday morning.
Adams arrived in Las Vegas in 2022 after spending his first eight NFL seasons with Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. He made the Pro Bowl in his first year with the Raiders and had his fifth career 100-catch, 1,000-yard season in 2023.
The 31-year-old wideout has 18 receptions for 209 yards and a touchdown so far in 2024. He missed the team's last three games with a hamstring injury.
NFL
Following the Week 4 victory, reports came out that Adams "preferred" to be traded out of Las Vegas. He told FanDuel's Kay Adams on Oct. 1 that he had not heard from Antonio Pierce after the Raiders head coach appeared to like a social media post suggesting the team trade him.
The Jets and Saints were high on Adams' list of potential landing spots, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Oct. 2. A trade to New Orleans would have reunited Adams with former Fresno State and Raiders teammate Derek Carr.
New York is desperate for a turnaround after a tumultuous couple of weeks. The team started 2-1 but has since dropped three straight games, beginning with a home loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 4.
From there, the Jets flew across the Atlantic for a London game against the Minnesota Vikings. The team lost 23-17 and proceeded to fire head coach Robert Saleh on Oct. 8. Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich was promoted to interim head coach, and the team made another coaching shakeup by taking play-calling duties from offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett -- who coached Rodgers and Adams in Green Bay -- and giving them to Todd Downing.
Ulbrich made his head coaching debut in a highly anticipated Monday Night Football game against the Buffalo Bills. Penalties, two missed field goals and a late Rodgers interception cost the Jets, who lost 23-20 and dropped to 2-4 on the season.
The Jets will be back in the primetime spotlight in Week 7, as they will visit the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football.
This is a developing story.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are trending toward making a change at quarterback. Veteran Russell Wilson, who signed with the Steelers in March, is finally healthy enough to start taking first-team reps, and will reportedly do just that this week. That sets him up to make his Steelers debut this weekend when they face the New York Jets.
Sources: The #Steelers plan to give Russell Wilson first-team reps in practice this week, putting him in line to make his season debut and start Sunday night against the #Jets.
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) October 15, 2024
Pittsburgh is 4-2 with Justin Fields. But Wilson’s calf is fully healed and now he gets his shot. pic.twitter.com/vrhgo7LfgO
Wilson, 35, struggled with a calf injury throughout training camp, but appeared to be on the other side of it as the regular season approached. He was named the starting quarterback prior to Week 1 over Justin Fields, but reaggravated that lurking calf injury just days before the Steelers were due to start their season against the Atlanta Falcons.
The Steelers didn't make a formal announcement about their Week 1 starter before inactives were released, but when when they came out 90 minutes before kickoff, Wilson was on the list. Fields would be the starter going forward, and he helped lead the Steelers to a 3-0 start.
Pittsburgh has had just a few hiccups since then and currently sit at 4-2. Despite that strong, Tomlin is definitely putting Wilson in consideration to be the Week 7 starter.
Tomlin: "[Russell Wilson] is in consideration this week. We'll see where that leads us.
— Andrew Siciliano (@AndrewSiciliano) October 15, 2024
The Steelers need an offensive push, and Wilson can definitely give that to them. And Russ wants redemption more than ever after two disastrous years with the Denver Broncos. Now he's closer than ever to proving he's got more passes left in that mighty arm.

The issue of satellite spectrum allocation resurfaced over Monday and Tuesday, as reports emerged that Reliance Jio had written to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), urging that airwaves for satellite Internet services such as SpaceX’s Starlink should be allocated through auctions.
International telecom and satellite firms have urged the Union government to not follow the auction route, pointing out that unlike cellular spectrum, satellite spectrum for Internet is typically shared among multiple operators, and is not scarce.
Reacting to reports on Jio’s letter to TRAI, SpaceX founder Elon Musk said that auctions for satellite spectrum would be ‘unprecedented’.
On Tuesday, Sunil Mittal, the chairman of Bharti Enterprises Ltd., said that satellite firms seeking to serve “elite retail customers” in urban areas would have to “buy” spectrum.
However, the company issued a statement hours after his remarks, clarifying that Airtel “did not support the auction of satellite spectrum.”
In past regulatory filings, Reliance Jio and SpaceX representatives have differed on this issue. Jio has argued that there is no legal basis for administratively allocating spectrum, an argument that largely relies on the Supreme Court’s 2012 judgment in the 2G spectrum case.
Minister of Communications Jyotiraditya Scindia said in response to a query on Jio’s auction demand that the Telecommunications Act, 2023 already ensured that satellite spectrum allotment could only be done through the administrative mode. “That does not mean that spectrum does not come without a cost,” Mr. Scindia said. “That cost will be decided by TRAI. They have already circulated a paper, and they are empowered by the Constitution to decide the administrative pricing [for telecom authorisations].”
The Minister was speaking on the sidelines of the World Telecommunication Standardisation Assembly (WTSA).
Mr. Scindia’s remarks indicated that the government was not considering auctions any more. “India is not doing anything different from the rest of the world,” Mr. Scindia said. “Conversely, if you do decide to auction it, then you’ll be doing something that’s different from the rest of the world. For those of us that understand a bit of engineering … satellite spectrum, because it is a high level of spectrum, beyond 7–8GHz [it] is shared. If it is shared, then how can you price it individually?,” he asked.
Tech norms
Inaugurating the WTSA, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that there was a need for norms for technology. “There needs to be a global set of do’s and dont’s for technology,” Mr. Modi said. “Today, all the digital tools and applications operate beyond the boundaries and limitations of any country. No single country can protect its citizens from cyber threats on its own … We know from our experience, just as we have established a global framework for rules and regulations in the aviation sector, a similar framework is needed for the digital world.”
“We must ensure that our future is technically strong and ethically sound, with innovation and inclusion at its core,” Mr. Modi said.

Confirmation of lower breakeven point trajectory with 9% Reduction in Operational Expenses
Q3 2024 Sales Growth of +24%1 Driven by New System Sales in the U.S. and Europe
Official Launch of the Food Intolerance Platform CellTolerance®
Sales Pipeline Strengthened thanks to Recent Positive Clinical Results in Pancreatic Cysts and Lung Cancer
Reaffirming Guidance of 20% Annual Sales Growth1
Regulatory News:
Mauna Kea Technologies (Euronext: ALMKT), inventor of Cellvizio, the multidisciplinary probe and needle-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (p/nCLE) platform, today announces its financial results for the first half 2024, ended June 30, 2024, as approved by the Board of Directors on October 11, 2024 and sales for the third quarter 2024. The half-year financial report is available on the Company's website.
Sacha Loiseau, Ph.D., Chairman and CEO of Mauna Kea Technologies, commented: "As we look to year-end, I am pleased that the professionalism and commitment of the Mauna Kea organization combined with expanding recognition of the clinical value of Cellvizio is creating a clearer path to producing profitable growth. In the third quarter, we achieved growth in systems sold and a 29% y/y increase in consumables delivered while obtaining important clinical study results in lung and pancreatic cancers. Publications by leading authors also contribute to our commercial success and create new strategic partnerships opportunities. At the same time, we are working diligently to consolidate our foundation, including implementing rigorous cost reduction initiatives that both extend our cash runway and accelerate Mauna Kea's path to profitability. Finally, we are working on the launch of CellTolerance® before year-end at a major French wellness clinic. With further sales gains expected in the U.S. and at our Chinese joint venture, we confirm our 2024 revenue target."
H1 2024 FinancialHighlights*
*Unaudited figures
The first half of 2024 is being compared with a particularly strong first half of 2023, which saw exceptional items due to the creation of a joint venture with Tasly. This partnership generated a one-time revenue boost of $2.5m for know-how associated with transferred patents, along with a capital gain of €7.7m related to the patent transfer to the joint venture.
As a consequence, the operating result shows a €3.7m loss in H1 2024, compared to a positive result of €6.6 million in 2023. However, this is a 25% improvement from 2022, reflecting a cost-control policy aimed at lowering the break-even point.
Third Quarter Nine Months 2024 Sales by Category*
*Unaudited figures
During the third quarter of 2024, total sales excluding license fees amounted to €1.2m, up 24% thanks to higher system sales both in the U.S. and Europe. Consumable sales were impacted by the temporary reimbursement reduction from CMS, notably affecting PPU2 revenue despite stable procedure volume. Services grew by 13%, thanks to renewed maintenance contracts in the U.S.
Overall revenue, excluding license, is trailing behind on a 9-month basis at -10%, to €4.1m, given the back-loaded nature of the year, in particular on system sales from all regions, including the U.S. and China.
Activity update
U.S. activity
In the third quarter of 2024, Mauna Kea continued to benefit from high volumes compared to previous years, despite the third quarter traditionally being a slower period due to the summer season. During this period, a new multi-system account was signed and is set to become active in October.
Additionally, a Cellvizio system was sold to the University of Maryland in Baltimore, while a second system was in the process of being finalized at the end of the quarter.
U.S. Reimbursement
Since the beginning of 2024, Mauna Kea has been working closely with the Centers for Medicare Medicaid Services (CMS) to restore the reimbursement of procedures to APC Level 3, as it was prior to 2024. The downgrade to level 2 is due to hospital reporting errors on the cost of Cellvizio procedures.
The Company has been actively engaging with its network to resubmit the correct data to CMS. Additionally, the Company is collaborating with key opinion leaders and industry associations to advocate for appropriate reimbursement of these procedures. Mauna Kea estimates the year-to-date impact of the reimbursement change has been $559k.
In addition, Mauna Kea received a strong endorsement from The American Foregut Society, a leading organization of gastroenterologists and surgeons working to improve patient outcomes for various conditions, including esophageal diseases. The formal request has been made for health insurance providers to update their medical coverage policies to include Cellvizio and confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) as covered services.
CellTolerance® in Food Intolerance
Over the last months, CellTolerance® has been structuring its offering under the leadership of Benoît Chardon, Senior Advisor of Mauna and renowned expert in the creation of new product categories and brands. A completely new branding, website (see www.cell-tolerance.com), and materials were launched. Masterclasses were organized in Europe and the United States with doctors and registered dietitians to introduce the program. Initial interactions took place with aesthetic centers with the goal of signing new agreements in the near term. Overall, the momentum is strong and promising.
Other indications
New positive data3 has been published regarding the use of Cellvizio to improve the diagnostic yield in bronchoscopy with the goal to detect and treat lung cancer at an earlier stage, which is one of the main public health goals worldwide. Professor Stéphane Renaud at the University Hospital of Nancy evaluated the use of Cellvizio's nCLE platform in combination with Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy (ENB) to characterize suspicious pulmonary nodules and prepare them for surgical resection when necessary. The results underscore the potential of nCLE to rapidly and accurately identify malignant lesions, with a sensitivity of 96.43% and specificity of 100%, while reducing the risks associated with traditional diagnostic methods, including ionizing radiation.
These results could pave the way for significant interest from industrial partners.
Q4 2024 Outlook
The Group reaffirms its target of achieving sales growth exceeding 20% in 2024, excluding licensing revenues.
Based on current trading, the Group expects an acceleration in sales during the fourth quarter, driven mainly by:
Growth of pay-per-use activity in the U.S. More specifically, during the third quarter, a new account was secured with the placement of three systems, which is expected to contribute significantly to volume growth. Additionally, five new PPU accounts are expected to be signed within the quarter.
A substantial pipeline of 10-15 systems in the U.S., some of which are anticipated to close by the end of the year.
System sales to the Tasly J.V.
Additionally, Mauna Kea will start a pilot project for the CellTolerance® program within a major renowned aesthetic care center in France, which is expected to quickly expand across its entire network.
Detailed Financial Update for the First Half 2024*
*Unaudited figures
Total sales
The Group's total revenue amounted to €3.9m, a decrease of 43%, primarily due to an exceptional income of $2.5m received from the Tasly JV for know-how related to transferred patents. In the first half of 2024, license revenues reflected the linear recognition over three years of the $6.5m received from Tasly under the licensing agreement.
Product sales were impacted by a shift in system sales in the United States, most of which are expected in the second half of the year. Of note, in 2023, all systems sold in the U.S. were delivered in the first half of the year, resulting a high basis for comparison.
Other revenue
Other income amounted to €0.4m corresponding to the Research Tax Credit (CIR) for the first half of 2024, an increase of 22% compared to last year. This growth is largely driven by newly accredited CIR projects, particularly in the field of artificial intelligence.
Cost of goods sold
The cost of goods sold amounted to €1m, an increase of 19%, reflecting a total gross margin of 66% on product sales for the first half of 2024, down 11 points compared to last year. This decline in gross margin is mainly attributed to reduced system sales in the U.S., with sales concentrated toward the year's end, as well as lower CMS reimbursement rates for PPU procedures.
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses amounted to €1.9m and remained stable over H1 2023 period.
Sales and marketing expenses
Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 5% during the period, reaching €2.6m, due to effective cost control and a reduction in sales commissions.
General and administrative expenses
General expenses decreased by 18% during the period, amounting to €2.3m. The first half of 2023 had been impacted by increased financial consulting fees related to the reorganization of the Finance team as well as commissions paid to Cenponts Healthcare for its advisory role in the partnership with Tasly.
Share-based payments
Share-based payments had a negative impact of €0.2m during the period. The first half of 2023 had benefited from a significant number of cancellations of equity instruments following the departure of employees in the United States.
Current Operating Income
Given the decline in the Group's revenue in the first half of 2024 compared to the first half of 2023, the current operating loss amounted to -€3.7m.
Operating Income
The Group's operating result was negative in the first half of 2024, amounting to -€3.7m. The operating result for the first half of 2023 had benefited from the recognition of an exceptional income of €7.7m, corresponding to the capital gain from the Group's transfer of patents to the Tasly JV.
Net Profit/Loss
Net loss came to -€4.7m, compared with a profit of €2.8m in 2023.
Cash Flow from operating activities
In the first half of 2024, cash flow from operating activities amounted to -€3.8m, compared to €2.9m in the same period last year. This decrease is mainly due to the receipt in 2023 of $6.5m (€6.2m) as part of the licensing agreement signed with the Tasly JV.
Cash position as of June 30, 2023
As of June 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents amounted to €3.8m, providing financial visibility through the end of Q1 2025. Thus, the Company is now actively looking for new funding solutions to extend its financial visibility.
Availability of the 2024 half year financial report:
The 2024 half-year financial report is available on the Company's website, in the Investors section.
Third Quarter Nine Months 2024 Sales by Geography*
*Unaudited figures
In the U.S., sales for Q3 2024 were down by 1% versus Q3 2023, amounting to €0.8m, mainly due to the impact of the temporary reimbursement reduction from CMS on PPU revenue. In contrast, sales in Europe and the Rest of the World increased by 60%, driven by system sales.
Third Quarter 2024 Sales in Unit*
*Unaudited figures
** The change in the number of new systems sold over the period may differ from that in reported sales, due to inventory adjustments and product mix variation
*** The reference date is the contract signature date, which may differ from the system installation date

Chinese Tesla rival Xpeng will launch in the UK in “less than a handful of months” as it works to expand its line-up to include right-hand drive cars, its co-founder has said.
The EV company will launch with its G6 coupé-crossover, a rival to the Tesla Model Y, Brian Gu confirmed to journalists at the Paris motor show.
Xpeng had previously said the UK was on its list of European markets it planned to enter in 2024 but had gone quiet about its plans in recent months.
Chinese EV specialists are now expected to commit to the UK in greater after the government this week said it wouldn't follow the EU and raise tariffs on China-built EVs.
Xpeng showed off its new P7+ fastback at Paris days after its unveiling in China. Xpeng bills it as the “the world’s first AI-defined vehicle” and touted its ADAS features, space and energy efficiency.
It hasn't yet made a decision on whether the P7+ will join the G9 large SUV and more conventionally shaped P7 saloon in European markets or in the UK.
Xpeng is still finalising its future line-up of right-hand-drive models for the UK.
"The UK is a very important market. The reason that we're not already there is because want to do it prudently,” said Gu. “When we launch, we need to understand the pipeline.”
Gu also said Xpeng is planning smaller EVs to better target Europe’s best-selling segments.
The G6 is available in European markets in three variations, mirroring the Model Y range as closely as possible.
The RWD Standard Range variant, with a 66kWh LFP battery, costs €43,600 in Germany; the RWD Long Range, with a 87.5kWh NMC battery, costs €47,600; and the AWD Performance, also with a 87.5kWh NMC battery, costs €51,600.

Congress names Rahul Mamkootathil, Ramya Haridas for Kerala Assembly bypolls
By IANS | Published: October 15, 2024 10:40 PM2024-10-15T22:40:24+5:302024-10-15T22:45:08+5:30

Thiruvananthapuram, Oct 15 Hours after the Election Commission on Tuesday announced the dates for the by-elections to two Kerala Assembly seats and the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat, the Congress was off the blocks first and named Rahul Mamkootathil as its candidate for the Palakkad Assembly constituency and former MP Ramya Haridas to the Chelakkara-SC seat.
The party had already announced Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra as its candidate in Wayanad.
The bypolls in Kerala will be held on November 13 and votes will be counted on November 23.
Mamkootathil is the Youth Congress President and when the news came, it was greeted by bursting of crackers at his home in Pathanamthitta district. His mother said she feels excited.
"I will be going to Palakkad from where he will contest and will be taking part in the election campaign," she said.
This is going to be Mamkootathil's first electoral outing and he will be reaching Palakkad on Wednesday afternoon.
For the Chelakkara-SC Assembly constituency, the Congress has fielded Haridas, who had represented the Alathur Lok Sabha seat from 2019 to 2024 but failed to retain it in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, when she was defeated by State Devasoms and SC/ST Welfare Minister K. Radhakrishnan.
The advantage that Haridas has is that the Chelakkara Assembly constituency falls under the Alathur Lok Sabha seat and she knows it quite well.
The Assembly by-elections at Palakkad and Chelakkara were necessitated after sitting legislators Shafi Paramabil (Congress) and Radhakrishnan (CPI-M), respectively, vacated the seats after winning the Lok Sabha polls.
Meanwhile, the Wayanad parliamentary constituency fell vacant as the winner, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, chose to retain the traditional family borough of Rai Bareli in Uttar Pradesh, from where he was also elected. The Congress subsequently announced his sister and party General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi as its candidate in what will be her poll debut.
The focus is all set to be on Wayanad, which Rahul Gandhi won by a decreased amount as compared to his over 4.60 lakh margin in 2019. Though the victory of Priyanka Gandhi seems certain, the only thing that remains to be seen is if she will better her brother's margin.
For the ruling Left, the two Assembly by-elections will be contested by the alliance major, CPI-M, while the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat goes to the CPI. The BJP has high hopes in Palakkad, wherein the 2021 Assembly polls, their candidate 'Metroman' E.Sreedharan gave a fright to Parambil before losing by less than 4,000 votes and, hence it could shape up to be a triangular contest, while at Chelakkara, it would be a direct fight between the CPI-M and the Congress.

Goldman Sachs (GS) has delivered a powerful testament to its resilience and adaptability in the face of changing market conditions, as evidenced by its impressive third-quarter results. The Wall Street titan reported a remarkable 45% surge in profits compared to the same period last year, with net income soaring to nearly $3 billion. This stellar performance was primarily driven by a resurgence in dealmaking and robust stock trading activities.
The investment banking sector, in particular, showed significant signs of recovery. Fees in this division climbed 20% year-over-year to $1.8 billion, buoyed by increased corporate debt and equity issuances. Even advisory fees saw a modest uptick, signaling a revival in mergers and acquisitions activity. This resurgence in dealmaking is seen as a harbinger of better times ahead, especially as the Federal Reserve begins to lower interest rates, potentially catalyzing more deals in the coming year.
Goldman’s success is not isolated, as its Wall Street peers have also reported substantial improvements in their investment banking operations. Wells Fargo (WFC), JPMorgan (JPM), and Bank of America (BAC) all posted double-digit increases in their investment banking fees, further reinforcing the notion of a broader industry recovery.
The firm’s trading revenue also saw a 2% year-over-year increase, primarily driven by equity traders, while the asset and wealth management division posted an impressive 16% revenue growth. These results underscore Goldman’s strength across multiple business lines and its ability to capitalize on diverse market opportunities.
However, the path to success has not been without its challenges. Goldman reported a pretax hit of $415 million in its consumer business, partly related to its exit from a credit card partnership with General Motors (GM). This setback is part of a larger strategic shift as the firm continues to distance itself from consumer lending to refocus on its core competencies of dealmaking, trading, and asset management.
Despite these hurdles, Goldman Sachs appears to be in a significantly stronger position compared to a year ago. The firm’s stock price reflects this optimism, having risen nearly 3% in pre-market trading to $537.80 a share and climbed nearly 70% year-over-year to reach record highs, outperforming its big-bank rivals.
As CEO David Solomon aptly summarized, these results demonstrate the strength of Goldman’s world-class franchise in an improving operating environment, positioning the firm for continued success in the evolving financial landscape.

The Cleveland Browns are not in a good way.
The Browns are 1-5, good for the worst record in the NFL and a major part of the team’s struggles has been the play of quarterback Deshaun Watson. Watson has been so bad that both fans and the media are incredulous that Cleveland keeps trotting him out week after week.
Some believe that the only way reason Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski is continuing to play Watson, who has been the worst quarterback in the league, is because ownership is forcing him due to the massive guaranteed contract Watson is signed to.
Stefanski addressed the claims on Monday.
“I don’t get caught up in narratives, but we have a good dialogue with myself, [general manager] Andrew [Berry], ownership about all things that have to do with this team,” Stefanski said via ESPN. “They’ve been nothing but supportive, and any decision when it comes to football is my decision.”
It doesn’t seem to make much sense as a football decision, but Stefanski reinforced his belief that Watson was a better option than backup quarterback Jameis Winston.
“I think Deshaun gives us the best chance to win, continues to give us the best chance to win. We need to play really good offensive football at his position, and really at every position to be successful.”
It’s a perplexing situation, but one possible solution is the Browns are losing on purpose to secure a high draft pick. However, that doesn’t seem quite fair to the fans or other players on the roster who are sacrificing their money and bodies on the team week after week with nothing but poor performances from Watson to show for it. Something has to give.

The wealth and poverty of nations has been a preoccupation of economists since Adam Smith founded the discipline 250 years ago, when he wrote a book titled, The Wealth of Nations.
This year's Nobel Prize in Economics was awarded to three men who traced the institutional roots of national prosperity by exploring the vastly different outcomes in former European colonies.
Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson from MIT and James Robinson of the University of Chicago will share the prize — worth about $1.058 million — for helping to explain how the different institutions in those former colonies continue to shape economic fortunes today.
"Rather than asking whether colonialism is good or bad, we note that different colonial strategies have led to different institutional patterns that have persisted over time," Acemoglu said during a news conference in Stockholm where the prize was announced.
By coincidence, the announcement came on a U.S. holiday that honors both European explorer Christopher Columbus and the indigenous people of the new world.
Colonies where a large share of settlers survived tended to establish inclusive, democratic institutions and subsequently prospered, the prize-winning researchers found. Those where relatively few settlers survived often formed more autocratic, extractive institutions and ended up languishing.
Democratic vs autocratic nations
The findings are generally pro-democracy, said Acemoglu, who along with Robinson co-authored the book, Why Nations Fail. But he added, democracy is not a panacea.
"Introducing democracy is very hard," Acemoglu said. "When you introduce elections, that sometimes creates conflict. And in particular, in already polarized societies, elections can lead to short-lived outcomes that are sometimes not democratic in nature."
China, meanwhile, has grown to become the world's second-largest economy and lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty, despite its autocratic governing structure.
Acemoglu argued that autocratic governments can boost growth temporarily by pouring resources into favored industries, but that tends to be hard to sustain. He acknowledged democracies don't always deliver on their potential for widespread prosperity. He pointed to survey data showing support for democracy is at an all-time low.
"Democracies are going through a rough patch," Acemoglu said. "And it is in some sense quite crucial that they reclaim the high ground of better governance, cleaner governance, and delivering sort of the promise of democracy to a broad range of people."

It was a banner first three quarters of global travel in 2024. According to US TSA checkpoint data, 2024 ranked as the best airport passenger volume since at least 2019. Recent trends are less sanguine, despite a return to normal with business
JETS: Flying High Since August, But A Longer-Term Holding Pattern
Summary
- Despite a strong travel boom, global airline shares have underperformed due to aggressive capacity and softer ticket fares.
- JETS ETF has seen declining assets under management and underperformed the S&P 500, with significant concentration in the 'Big 4' US airlines.
- November historically yields strong returns for JETS, but technical resistance and macroeconomic risks suggest caution despite recent momentum.
- The ETF's low P/E ratio and rising 200-day moving average offer potential, but macro challenges and technical overbought conditions warrant a hold stance.

President Bola Tinubu has expressed deep condolences to former Oyo State Governor, Senator Rashidi Ladoja, following the passing of his wife, Alhaja Mutiat Ladoja.
In a heartfelt message, Tinubu described the loss as a “profound sorrow,” offering prayers for strength and comfort to the Ladoja family during this difficult time.
The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, conveyed Tinubu’s commiseration on Tuesday.
“President Bola Tinubu commiserates with the former Governor of Oyo State and Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland, Rashidi Ladoja, over the demise of his wife, Tinuade,” the statement read.
The President extended his condolences to the Ladoja family, associates of the deceased, and the Celestial Church of Christ, where she served as a member of the Pastor-in-Council.
Tinubu noted the significant contributions of the late matriarch to humanity, praising her “strength in charitable works, wise counsel, and advocacy for the welfare and education of women and children.”
“She lived a selfless life, always thinking of the good of others and expanding the gospel,” the President remarked, commending her role in the highest decision-making body of the Celestial Church of Christ and the Women in Council, where she served for many years.
The President prayed for the repose of her soul, asking God to “comfort and strengthen” the family as they navigate this trying period.

Shares of Blueprint Medicines (BPMC) have gained 2.7% over the past four weeks to close the last trading session at $88.65, but there could still be a solid upside left in the stock if short-term price targets of Wall Street analysts are any indication. Going by the price targets, the mean estimate of $125.35 indicates a potential upside of 41.4%.
The average comprises 17 short-term price targets ranging from a low of $76 to a high of $168, with a standard deviation of $21.29. While the lowest estimate indicates a decline of 14.3% from the current price level, the most optimistic estimate points to an 89.5% upside. More than the range, one should note the standard deviation here, as it helps understand the variability of the estimates. The smaller the standard deviation, the greater the agreement among analysts.
While the consensus price target is a much-coveted metric for investors, solely banking on this metric to make an investment decision may not be wise at all. That's because the ability and unbiasedness of analysts in setting price targets have long been questionable.
But, for BPMC, an impressive average price target is not the only indicator of a potential upside. Strong agreement among analysts about the company's ability to report better earnings than they predicted earlier strengthens this view. While a positive trend in earnings estimate revisions doesn't gauge how much a stock could gain, it has proven to be powerful in predicting an upside.
Here's What You May Not Know About Analysts' Price Targets
According to researchers at several universities across the globe, a price target is one of many pieces of information about a stock that misleads investors far more often than it guides. In fact, empirical research shows that price targets set by several analysts, irrespective of the extent of agreement, rarely indicate where the price of a stock could actually be heading.
While Wall Street analysts have deep knowledge of a company's fundamentals and the sensitivity of its business to economic and industry issues, many of them tend to set overly optimistic price targets. Are you wondering why?
They usually do that to drum up interest in shares of companies that their firms either have existing business relationships with or are looking to be associated with. In other words, business incentives of firms covering a stock often result in inflated price targets set by analysts.
However, a tight clustering of price targets, which is represented by a low standard deviation, indicates that analysts have a high degree of agreement about the direction and magnitude of a stock's price movement. While that doesn't necessarily mean the stock will hit the average price target, it could be a good starting point for further research aimed at identifying the potential fundamental driving forces.
That said, while investors should not entirely ignore price targets, making an investment decision solely based on them could lead to disappointing ROI. So, price targets should always be treated with a high degree of skepticism.
Why BPMC Could Witness a Solid Upside
Analysts' growing optimism over the company's earnings prospects, as indicated by strong agreement among them in revising EPS estimates higher, could be a legitimate reason to expect an upside in the stock. That's because empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has increased 0.8%, as one estimate has moved higher compared to no negative revision.
Moreover, BPMC currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), which means it is in the top 20% of more than the 4,000 stocks that we rank based on four factors related to earnings estimates. Given an impressive externally-audited track record, this is a more conclusive indication of the stock's potential upside in the near term. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>
Therefore, while the consensus price target may not be a reliable indicator of how much BPMC could gain, the direction of price movement it implies does appear to be a good guide.

SCO To Discuss Regional Issues Regional Connectivity, Climate Change: FO Spox
Fahad Shabbir (@FahadShabbir) Published October 15, 2024 | 07:32 PM
Foreign Office Spokesperson, Mumtaz Zahra Baloch on Tuesday said the leaders of 12 countries would discuss pressing issues like climate, regional security and connectivity, economy, poverty alleviation as they meet on Wednesday at the 23rd Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) 2024 being hosted by Pakistan
ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 15th Oct, 2024) Foreign Office Spokesperson, Mumtaz Zahra Baloch on Tuesday said the leaders of 12 countries would discuss pressing issues like climate, regional security and connectivity, economy, poverty alleviation as they meet on Wednesday at the 23rd Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) 2024 being hosted by Pakistan.
She said the SCO leaders would draft and announce a unanimous declaration on conclusion of the conference.
Talking to media at the SCO Media Facilitation Center established at Pak-China Friendship Centre, she said the multilateral conference, being attended by the heads, senior officials of 10 countries, along with one observer, and one guest country, had no separate agenda of the meeting.
Being the second biggest forum in the world, she said, the moot was a golden opportunity for SCO member states to unanimously resolve the regional issues.
She welcomed the arrival of Indian External Affairs Minister, and termed it as the reflection of SCO's importance and termed the summit as vital platform to discuss the current challenges.
"While playing an important role in SCO 2024, we have to develop a consensus. Although, the agenda of the summit is multilateral but there will be more options for the regional matters," she said.
To another query, Zahra Baloch said that there was no political agenda in the summit as SCO is a consensus-based organisation.
She said the issues of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and Palestine were not part of the SCO agenda.

The issue of satellite spectrum allocation resurfaced over Monday and Tuesday, as reports emerged that Reliance Jio had written to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), urging that airwaves for satellite Internet services such as SpaceX’s Starlink should be allocated through auctions.
ADVERTISEMENT
International telecom and satellite firms have urged the Union government to not follow the auction route, pointing out that unlike cellular spectrum, satellite spectrum for Internet is typically shared among multiple operators, and is not scarce.
Reacting to reports on Jio’s letter to TRAI, SpaceX founder Elon Musk said that auctions for satellite spectrum would be ‘unprecedented’.
ADVERTISEMENT
On Tuesday, Sunil Mittal, the chairman of Bharti Enterprises Ltd., said that satellite firms seeking to serve “elite retail customers” in urban areas would have to “buy” spectrum.
However, the company issued a statement hours after his remarks, clarifying that Airtel “did not support the auction of satellite spectrum.”
In past regulatory filings, Reliance Jio and SpaceX representatives have differed on this issue. Jio has argued that there is no legal basis for administratively allocating spectrum, an argument that largely relies on the Supreme Court’s 2012 judgment in the 2G spectrum case.
ADVERTISEMENT
Minister of Communications Jyotiraditya Scindia said in response to a query on Jio’s auction demand that the Telecommunications Act, 2023 already ensured that satellite spectrum allotment could only be done through the administrative mode. “That does not mean that spectrum does not come without a cost,” Mr. Scindia said. “That cost will be decided by TRAI. They have already circulated a paper, and they are empowered by the Constitution to decide the administrative pricing [for telecom authorisations].”
The Minister was speaking on the sidelines of the World Telecommunication Standardisation Assembly (WTSA).
Mr. Scindia’s remarks indicated that the government was not considering auctions any more. “India is not doing anything different from the rest of the world,” Mr. Scindia said. “Conversely, if you do decide to auction it, then you’ll be doing something that’s different from the rest of the world. For those of us that understand a bit of engineering … satellite spectrum, because it is a high level of spectrum, beyond 7–8GHz [it] is shared. If it is shared, then how can you price it individually?,” he asked.
Tech norms
Inaugurating the WTSA, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that there was a need for norms for technology. “There needs to be a global set of do’s and dont’s for technology,” Mr. Modi said. “Today, all the digital tools and applications operate beyond the boundaries and limitations of any country. No single country can protect its citizens from cyber threats on its own … We know from our experience, just as we have established a global framework for rules and regulations in the aviation sector, a similar framework is needed for the digital world.”
“We must ensure that our future is technically strong and ethically sound, with innovation and inclusion at its core,” Mr. Modi said.

Uganda said Tuesday it had signed a $3 billion deal with a Turkish company to build an electric railway line that will link the landlocked country to neighbouring Kenya.
The Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) track will run from the Ugandan capital Kampala to Malaba on the border with Kenya, Transport Minister Katumba Wamala said.
“We signed a contract with Yapi Merkezi from Turkey for construction of a 272-kilometre (170-mile) line at euros 2.7 billion,” or $3 billion, Wamala told AFP.
He said construction on the line, part of a 1,700-kilometre regional rail project, was due to begin in November, and that Yapi Merkezi said the work would be completed within four years.
“With the railway network in place, Uganda hopes to overcome the long delays of transporting goods from Mombasa,” Wamala said, referring to Kenya’s Indian Ocean port city which is a major gateway for Ugandan trade.
The deal covers the construction of the railway and the supply of rail vehicles, Yapi Merkezi said in a statement.
Trains will run at up to 120 kilometres an hour and the project has a load carrying capacity of 25 million tons a year, it said.
“This should enable us to cut cargo transport costs by half,” Ramathan Ggoobi, permanent secretary at the Ugandan finance ministry, said in a government video shared online.
“I am telling you we are the second most expensive route in the world… now we should be amongst the most competitive.”
The Ugandan deal follows a separate agreement between the Turkish firm and Tanzania to construct an electric railway between the country’s key hubs.
Services on the SGR line connecting Tanzania’s main city Dar es Salaam with the capital Dodoma began in July this year.
Tanzania also reached a $2.2 billion deal in 2022 with a Chinese firm to build the final section of the SGR line aimed at linking the country’s main port with its neighbours.

Lynn Hirsch never made many lasagnas when her kids were growing up. It wasn’t a family favorite.
However, the children are now grown up with families of their own, and Hirsch is now “That Lasagna Lady Lynn” on Instagram, where she posts photos of her “lasagna art with a heart.”
Over the past four years, Hirsch has made about 500 pans of the Italian pasta meal, giving them all away as a volunteer and the global outreach director for the nonprofit Lasagna Love.

Lasagna Love is an online organization that connects neighbors through home-cooked meal deliveries.
Those who want a lasagna can sign up to receive one at no cost through the website lasagnalove.org. Those who can help by making and delivering a lasagna can sign up there, too.
“As a senior, I find that this is the most meaningful volunteer experience that I’ve had,” said Hirsch, a 72-year-old from Alpharetta.
Hirsch and her husband of 51 years, retired physician Dr. Glenn Hirsch, 74, raised their family in east Cobb. While their children were growing up, Lynn Hirsch was the quintessential volunteer mom for countless organizations and activities.
“I can’t say that I felt the same fulfillment with those as I do with this volunteer adventure,” she said. “It’s a great volunteer experience for seniors. We have the time and the means to cook a meal for another family. We’re also missing cooking meals for our families.”
The Hirsches moved to Alpharetta in 2019 to be near one of their sons and his family. However, when the pandemic hit, the young family moved into an RV and took off, leaving the elder Hirsches by themselves, trying to find their focus as retirees in a new city.
Lynn Hirsch found her bearings on Sept. 28, 2020, National Good Neighbor Day. She had heard about Lasagna Love earlier that year, but on this day she listened as founder Rhiannon Menn explained the program on NBC’s TODAY morning news show.
Menn told how helpless she felt seeing the COVID-related struggles of families in her San Diego community. She made pans of lasagnas, reached out through Facebook, and offered to deliver the food to anyone who needed a meal. Many people thought that was wonderful, and many more said they wanted to help.
Menn created a platform so neighbors could impact their communities through the kindness of a home-delivered meal.
“It was like a light bulb went off in my head, and I thought, oh my goodness, this is what I need to be doing,” Hirsch said.
That day, she and 5,000 others signed up as Lasagna Love volunteers. Hirsch started making lasagnas almost immediately, but because there were more volunteers than requests, she sometimes drove 30 miles to make a delivery.
“People did not know about Lasagna Love,” said Hirsch, who started spreading the word through social media and contacting civic groups, schools and food pantries.
The organization has grown to 56,000 volunteers in all 50 states, Canada and Australia in four years. A half million lasagnas have gone out, feeding about 2 million people.
Today, meal requests far outpace the number of Lasagna Love volunteers.
“We’re so overwhelmed with requests,” said Hirsch, adding that there is an urgent need for volunteers in metro Atlanta and throughout Georgia.
Hirsch said volunteering for Lasagna Love is flexible and straightforward. Volunteers sign up on the website indicating when they want to serve, how often and how many they’re willing to feed.
Once a week, volunteers are matched with those who have asked for a meal. Lasagna Love doesn’t just feed people with financial difficulties, but anyone who signs up. Requests are not vetted.

“There are no questions asked and no judgments made about their situation,” Hirsch said.
“Lasagna Love also tries to get rid of the stigma of asking for help,” she added. “It’s really OK to ask for help. You have neighbors who want to help you.”
Within a few months of joining, Hirsch became the Georgia outreach coordinator, then three years ago, the global outreach director – both volunteer positions.
She and her husband work together to make and deliver four large family-sized pans of lasagna weekly. She buys big containers of sauce and ricotta cheese from Restaurant Depot and gets mozzarella and ground beef from Costco.
While her husband makes the sauce, she mixes the ricotta filling and then layers the pasta. Often, she tops it with decorative hearts or other food art.
Credit: Phil Skinner
Credit: Phil Skinner
Several days before, Hirsch will call her chosen families to tell them who she is and when she will deliver the meal. Glenn Hirsch maps out their delivery trip so it’s efficient from start to finish. It’s almost always close to home.
One week, they delivered a lasagna to a widow with young children and a full-time job, then dropped off another one to a lady returning from the funeral of her sister who had just died from cancer.
Once a month, Hirsch and other Lasagna Love volunteers make casseroles for families staying at the Atlanta Ronald McDonald House Charities.
Volunteers also provide lasagnas for those experiencing homelessness, which The Elizabeth Foundation in Atlanta distributes, and provide meals to other groups upon request.
“Cooking is my love language, and it’s really nice to have somebody to cook for,” Hirsch said. “I’ve gotten as much out of this experience as I give to Lasagna Love.”

Bhopal, Oct 15 Madhya Pradesh Governor Mangubhai Patel inaugurated a newly developed 'tribal studies and development centre in Gwalior on Tuesday.
Established on the Krishi Vigyan Kendra campus of Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia Agricultural University, the centre aims to study and promote the culture of the Sahariya tribe.
The Sahariya tribe, which is classified as a Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group (PVTG), has a sizable population in Bhind, Morena, Gwalior, Sheopur, Shivpuri, Guna, Vidisha, Raisen, and Sehore districts in Madhya Pradesh.
Following the inauguration, Governor Patel engaged in discussions with scheduled tribe farmers from Sheopur and Jhabua districts participating in a training session on Kadaknath poultry farming organised by the state government.
During the interaction, Governor Patel apprised them of various welfare and employment-oriented government schemes designed for the state's special backward tribes.
He encouraged them to become self-reliant by availing the benefits of multiple schemes introduced by the Centre and the state government in Madhya Pradesh. The Governor also urged them to inspire others in their communities to take advantage of these opportunities.
During his day-long visit to Gwalior, Patel also addressed the convocation ceremony of Jiwaji University. Addressing the gathering, he advised students to maintain a lifelong spirit of learning. He urged them to pledge to uphold the highest standards of their ideals, knowledge and conduct, even amidst life's challenges and adversities.
The Chancellor of Nalanda University, Bihar Vijay P. Bhatkar along with several other signatories attended the convocation ceremony.
Notably, Jiwaji University (JU) is one of the oldest educational institutions in Madhya Pradesh, which was established in 1964.

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.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a quarterback controversy again.
In a move that has left many stunned, the Steelers are planning to give Russell Wilson reps with the first team in practice this week, which could set him up to start on Sunday night against the New York Jets, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
“Sources: The (Steelers) plan to give Russell Wilson first-team reps in practice this week, putting him in line to make his season debut and start Sunday night against the (Jets). Pittsburgh is 4-2 with Justin Fields. But Wilson’s calf is fully healed and now he gets his shot,” Pelissero tweeted on Tuesday.

— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) October 15, 2024
Fans reacted to the jaw-dropping news online, and they were not pleased with the move.
“Wilson has shown nothing to suggest he inherently deserves to waltz back as QB1 & Fields has shown nothing to suggest he should be removed from QB1. Absolutely baffling & pathetic from Tomlin,” one fan said on Twitter.
“This is so stupid Fields has been playing just fine,” another person added.
“This is what we call awful coaching,” a fan chimed in.
“Just a terrible move. Fields has that team rolling,” someone else said.
It’s a move that could mean the end of Tomlin’s tenure in Pittsburgh if it doesn’t pan out. After years of mediocrity, Steelers fans and media have grown tired of his endless antics. Tearing apart a locker room during a successful season could be the last straw.

Apple (AAPL) has once again made headlines as its shares soared to a record high, reaching $237.49, a testament to the market’s bullish outlook on the company’s integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into its flagship products. This surge not only reflects investor confidence but also cements Apple’s position as the world’s most valuable company, boasting a market valuation north of $3.6 trillion.
The driving force behind the stock’s Tuesday rally is the much-anticipated rollout of AI-powered iPhones, introduced last month alongside a new AI-capable iPad mini. These devices are at the forefront of Apple’s strategy to leverage AI technology to enhance user experience, offering features that promise to redefine what consumers expect from their gadgets.
Analysts from Evercore ISI have labeled Apple with a tactical outperform rating, even before the company’s upcoming quarterly results. Their optimism stems from a belief that any concerns regarding the Chinese smartphone market are exaggerated. Instead, they highlight the potential for growth in developing markets and anticipate a robust upgrade cycle in the U.S., where consumer interest in AI features could spur demand.
Similarly, Melius Research has thrown its weight behind Apple, praising its aggressive stock buyback program and predicting a multi-year growth cycle for the iPhone. This optimism comes at a time when the broader tech sector is also witnessing gains, yet Apple’s performance outstrips its peers with a 37% rise over the past six months, dwarfing the Nasdaq 100’s 15.5% increase.
Despite initial reports of lukewarm demand for the new iPhone, the investor community seems undeterred, viewing Apple as a safe harbor amidst broader economic uncertainties. This perception is bolstered by the expectation of a significant upgrade cycle in the coming quarters, which could rejuvenate iPhone sales growth.
Apple’s venture into integrating AI more deeply into its devices isn’t just about keeping up with tech trends; it’s about setting new ones. By doing so, Apple not only aims to enhance device functionality but also to create a new demand wave for its products, potentially making the recent stock price surge just the beginning of a longer upward trajectory. This strategic move into AI could well define the next era of smartphone evolution, with Apple leading the charge.

JUANA SUMMERS, HOST:
Ever since Adam Smith wrote "The Wealth Of Nations" almost 250 years ago, economists have puzzled over why some countries grow rich while others stay poor. Today, three economists won the Nobel Prize for their efforts to answer that question by exploring the different paths that former European colonies followed. NPR's Scott Horsley reports.
SCOTT HORSLEY, BYLINE: Growing up in Barbados, James Robinson says it was impossible not to see the remnants of a former slave plantation society and wonder how those colonial roots came to shape the world. Robinson - who's at the University of Chicago - has spent the last three decades studying that, along with two colleagues from MIT - Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson. Their research won the three men the Nobel Prize today, on what Robinson notes happens to be a holiday honoring a European explorer and the residents of the New World he encountered.
JAMES ROBINSON: It's actually extremely appropriate that it's Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples' Day because, you know, what our research showed is that an enormous amount of inequality in the world has been caused by the exploitation and expropriation of Indigenous people and the types of colonial societies that were created over the past 500 years.
HORSLEY: Their focus is not whether colonization was good or bad, but the different forms it took in different parts of the world. In some areas, colonists built more inclusive, democratic institutions, while in others, they were more autocratic, bent on extracting wealth for a narrow elite. Jan Teorell of the Nobel Prize committee says those different colonial forms would shape national fortunes for centuries to come.
JAN TEORELL: What they have demonstrated is that inclusive institutions are good for growth and long-run prosperity, whereas extractive institutions lead to poverty.
HORSLEY: While that history is instructive, the researchers say, it doesn't have to be binding. Some countries, like Botswana and South Korea, managed to escape their authoritarian past and prosper. At the same time, Robinson says, wealthy democracies like the United States still run the risk of sliding into autocracy.
ROBINSON: In any inclusive or relatively inclusive society, there's always incentives to put that into reverse. At the current moment in the United States, we're facing many challenges to inclusive institutions.
HORSLEY: Robinson points to former President Trump's refusal to accept the outcome of the 2020 election as a rejection of basic democratic principles. China is something of an outlier in this story. Despite its authoritarian government, China has grown to become the world's second-biggest economy and pulled hundreds of millions of people out of poverty. Nobel Laureate Acemoglu - who's originally from Turkey - acknowledges that success, but warns it may not be sustainable.
DARON ACEMOGLU: Our argument has been that authoritarian growth is often more unstable and doesn't generally lead to very rapid and original innovation.
HORSLEY: But Acemoglu also cautions that democracy is no panacea. Elections can foster conflict, he says, especially in highly polarized societies. And many people have grown skeptical that democracy can deliver the goods.
DARON ACEMOGLU: It's fascinating but worrying. If you look at data from surveys, you see that support for democracy among the population is at an all-time low.
HORSLEY: To regain the high ground, Acemoglu says, democracies need to prove they can provide good governance, clean up corruption and deliver broad-based prosperity. One other takeaway from today's Nobel Prize - all three winners were born outside the United States but now call the U.S. home. Robinson sees that as another source of this nation's wealth.
ROBINSON: The willingness of the United States to absorb immigrants and suck in talent and energy and creativity from all over the world is one of the secrets of its success. To throw that away will be to throw a lot of the potential of this country away.
HORSLEY: In addition to recognition for their research, the three men will share prize money worth just over a million dollars. Scott Horsley, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

When the Eagles traded Haason Reddick to the Jets, their hope was that he would meet the two conditions to turn that 2026 third-round pick into a second-rounder.
But because of Reddick’s ongoing holdout — he hasn’t played a single snap for the Jets in an ugly stalemate — it has seemed incredibly unlikely the Eagles would end up with that second-round pick.
Stay in the game with the latest updates on your beloved Philadelphia sports teams! Sign up here for our All Access Daily newsletter.
That possibility of getting a second-rounder has now reopened.
After Reddick’s former agency dropped him, Reddick signed with mega agent Drew Rosenhaus this week and has been given permission from the Jets to seek a trade. According to veteran NFL reporter Josina Anderson, the Eagles will still get that second-round pick if the Jets trade him to an NFC team.
So now there’s another reason for Eagles fans to closely monitor the situation with Reddick and the Jets. Because it’s not out of the realm of possibility that the Jets trade him back into the NFC.
Philadelphia Eagles
Of course, the offer from an NFC team would need to be significantly better than an offer from the AFC to make up for the difference between the third round and the second round with that 2026 pick. But, then again, if the Jets still think they can contend this season, they might not want to trade Reddick to an AFC counterpart.
All of this needs to be a part of the equation before the Jets decide to trade Reddick.
The one reason Eagles fans should have hope that Reddick gets traded to the NFC is the possibility that the Lions make a strong offer. The Lions are a legitimate contender in the NFC but just lost their best pass rusher, Aidan Hutchinson, for the season.
Reminder: There’s a rule that the Eagles cannot trade for Reddick themselves.
Here were the initial conditions Reddick would have to meet with the Jets this season to turn that third-rounder into a second-rounder.
1. Reddick plays 67.5% or more of the Jets’ defensive snaps
2. Reddick reaches 10+ sacks on the season
While those might seem like lofty goals, Reddick has hit those marks in each of the last four seasons. But the Jets (2-4) have already played six games without him in 2024.

As assembly lines clanked inside Saint-Gobain’s factory in Social Circle, the CEO of the France-based company that makes housing construction materials recently strolled through and spelled out what’s driving his company’s expansion in Georgia.
“We are investing in our capacity here because the market is growing,” said Benoit Bazin, CEO of Saint-Gobain. “Where we think the population growth is going to be, that is where we are going to invest.”
In this massive plant, walking distance from the town center of Social Circle, Saint-Gobain is making various kinds of siding and corners that are placed within homes as part of construction or renovation. Last year the company expanded its presence in Social Circle, which is about 45 miles east of Atlanta, with the opening of a new interior products facility.
On a recent October morning, workers were training on a new assembly line, put together in Oregon and shipped to Georgia.
The company has also invested more than $100 million on an expansion of a plant in Peachtree City, done a $28 million investment at its facility in Dublin and built a new factory in Conyers, in addition to facilities in Norcross and Athens.
Manufacturing isn’t the dominant sector it was several generations ago, but it is growing again.

Saint-Gobain’s headquarters are just across the Seine from Paris, but it has offices and factories in 76 nations and 168,000 employees who design, make and distribute a variety of construction and industrial products.
Saint-Gobain has received incentives from the state of Georgia and from local economic development groups, Bazin said, adding “It’s very important to have a good partnership with local authorities.”
“You want traffic lights and road improvements. And you want training for the workforce,” he said.
He noted many states now offer incentives, but that only levels the playing field. “You talk to them all, and you still chose the location where it’s the most beneficial,” he said.
Expansion in Georgia
Nationally, manufacturing has rebounded from the coronavirus pandemic recession to recover all the jobs it lost — the first time that has happened — according to the Economic Innovation Group, a bipartisan research and policy firm based in New York.
Georgia is among the leaders in the growth, partly because it has become a center for electric vehicle development, the group said. While the sector’s market challenges have slowed growth, Georgia is home to a new Hyundai Motor Group auto plant, as well as battery makers like SK Innovation.
The state has about 433,000 manufacturing jobs — about 30,000 more than in early 2020 and 63,000 more than at the depth of the pandemic, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Foreign-owned firms are a significant part of that.
European and Asian-based companies or their subsidiaries own 3,369 facilities employing more than 160,000 people, according to the Georgia Department of Economic Development. Germany is the largest in Georgia with 650 facilities, but France-based companies have about 341 facilities with nearly 14,000 jobs, officials said.
The investments are endorsements of Georgia, said Katie Deutschler, a partner and manufacturing specialist at Moore Colson, an Atlanta-based accounting and advisory firm.
With two huge, busy seaports, the busiest airport in the world and a government that nurtures investment, the state is attractive, she said. “Georgia has historically been a very business-friendly state. It’s logistics and connectivity. And we currently are building a really strong manufacturing ecosystem.”
A new manufacturer can find an able and willing workforce, she said.
Advantages of local manufacturing
Saint-Gobain has nearly 600 employees in Georgia, a presence that is largely tied to the fate of the housing market.
Plants in Georgia mainly make materials for either new construction or renovations. The cost of shipping — especially for heavy items — adds to the incentive to manufacture in the same region as the ultimate users live.
In Social Circle, Saint-Gobain churns out the trim that is placed around windows and doors, made of polyvinyl chloride, or PVC.
It’s a good business to be in, with demand likely to be robust for the indefinite future, said Mark Rayfield, chief executive of Saint-Gobain North America.
After the collapse of the housing boom triggered the Great Recession, construction of new homes was near zero for years and when it picked up, it did not come close to matching the growth of the population.
“We are conservatively about 4 million homes underbuilt in the U.S.,” Rayfield said.
Moreover, among the vast number of older homes there is a huge need for renovations and repair, he said. “So, we think that short term, medium term and long term, the fundamentals for housing are strong, especially in the Southeast.”

After 75 years, the hardware store True Value filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and will sell most of the company to one of its competitors.
True Value announced the bankruptcy filing and looming sale to Do it Best in a news release on Tuesday.
“After a thorough evaluation of strategic alternatives, we determined that the sale of our business was the path forward to maximize value and best serve our retail partners and other stakeholders into the future,” CEO Chris Kempa said in the release. “We believe that entering the process with an agreed offer from Do it Best, who has a similar decades-long history in the home improvement space and also operates with a focus on supporting members and helping them grow, is the most beneficial next step for True Value and our associates, customers, and vendor partners. We thank these valued stakeholders for their continued loyalty as we work to secure a stronger future for True Value.”
The sale to Do it Best, which is considered a “stalking horse” or lead bidder, should be finished by the end of the year.
The company will continue serving its 4,500 independently owned stores that sell True Value products. All but one store is independently owned and will not be sold. The lone company store is in Palatine, Illinois, True Value said.
It has already modernized its legacy operations and made other changes to the business, including adding more marketing campaigns.

Chennai, Oct 15 In view of the heavy to extremely heavy rains and the red alert announced by the Regional Meteorological Centre, the Tamil Nadu government has declared a public holiday on Wednesday for Chennai and adjoining districts of the state.
A holiday has been declared for government offices and PSUs in Kancheepuram, Chengalpattu, and Tiruvallur districts on Wednesday.
However, essential services of key government departments in these districts will continue to function. Shops and commercial establishments will remain open as per the state government circular.
An advisory has also been issued to private companies to allow their employees to work from home on Wednesday.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin has directed officials to declare a holiday for schools and colleges in Chennai and adjoining districts on Wednesday due to the heavy to very heavy rains.
It is worth mentioning that the weather department has predicted 20.9 cm of rainfall in a single day on Wednesday, with a low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal leading to these heavy to extremely heavy rains.
The Chennai Corporation has already begun operations to drain water from 300 locations affected by waterlogging.
Heavy rains continue in Chennai, Kancheepuram, Tiruvallur, and Chengalpattu districts.
Several subways have been inundated in Chennai, and of the 22 subways, the Ganespuram Subway, Kilpauk Gengu Reddy Subway, Duraisamy Subway, Madley Subway, and Perambur Subway have been closed due to water stagnation.
Tamil Nadu CM M.K. Stalin, Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, and ministers P.K. Sekhar Babu and Ma Subramanian, along with Chennai Corporation Mayor R. Priya, inspected several areas in the city affected by flooding due to heavy rains.
Udhayanidhi Stalin, while speaking to media personnel, said that the Greater Chennai Corporation had received more than 1,500 complaints regarding rain-related issues, of which 600 have already been resolved.
Chennai Corporation Mayor R. Priya told the media that the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) had already set up 300 relief centres, each capable of accommodating between 50 to 1,000 people.
She also mentioned that 35 community kitchens have been established in Chennai in light of the heavy rains and the potential displacement of residents from their homes.

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers are 4-2 and tied for first place in the AFC North behind the play of quarterback Justin Fields.
However, now Pittsburgh is going to be starting from square one on their season. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin announced in his Tuesday press conference that Russell Wilson is receiving practice reps with the starters this week, NFL insider Tom Pelissero.
“Sources: The (Steelers) plan to give Russell Wilson first-team reps in practice this week, putting him in line to make his season debut and start Sunday night against the (Jets). Pittsburgh is 4-2 with Justin Fields. But Wilson’s calf is fully healed and now he gets his shot,” Pelissero tweeted on Tuesday.

It’s surprising the coaching staff would pull a move like this in the middle of a season that’s been so surprisingly successful thus far, especially considering Wilson’s advanced age and Fields enormous upside in terms of mobility.
It’s unlikely the Steelers players saw this coming, considering Fields’ teammates have been vocal throughout the season on how much they respect and enjoy playing with Fields.
Doing this to the team in the middle of a playoff race is a move that could have dire consequences for the Steelers. While it seems a final decision hasn’t been made, it’s nothing short of shocking to even put Fields’ job as the starter into question.
It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out, as this is the sort of move that can tear locker rooms and fan bases apart.

JUANA SUMMERS, HOST:
This week Texas is scheduled to execute an innocent man. That's the view of supporters of death row inmate Robert Roberson. Roberson is scheduled to be put to death Thursday in what would be the nation's first execution based on what's known as shaken baby syndrome. That is a now-discredited theory that claims violently shaking a baby can cause fatal brain damage without leaving any other signs of physical trauma. Texas Public Radio's David Martin Davies has more.
DAVID MARTIN DAVIES, BYLINE: In 2002, Roberson's 2-year-old daughter Nikki was sick with a fever of 104.5. The little girl was born with chronic health problems that were never fully diagnosed. She would frequently stop breathing and turn blue. Over the course of a week, Roberson took the toddler to both the ER and her pediatrician, who prescribed codeine and another powerful drug. Both are respiratory suppressants that medical experts say are no longer prescribed for children.
And in the early morning of January 31, Nikki stopped breathing again. When Roberson rushed his daughter back to the hospital in Palestine, Texas, Nikki could not be resuscitated. Her heart was revived, but not her brain. She was taken off life support the following day. I asked Roberson about this when I traveled to Texas' death row recently.
ROBERT ROBERSON: I lost my little girl and stuff, and they accused me of it because I couldn't explain what happened to her. So they just said I was guilty of it 'cause the hospital told the investigators that it was a certain type of case - shaken baby, you know? And that's the way they went. They never did investigate it.
DAVIES: The lead detective on the case says, that's correct. No theory beyond shaken baby syndrome was every seriously investigated. Roberson is on the autism spectrum, and he also has a low IQ.
GRETCHEN SWEEN: He's been described by people who know him as like Forrest Gump.
DAVIES: That's Gretchen Sween, Roberson's lead attorney.
SWEEN: He has a developmental disability. It's lifelong. But he also has this sort of childlike innocence and authenticity and, you know, is very intuitive and kind about people.
DAVIES: Sween says the hospital did a CAT scan of little Nikki and found a swollen, bleeding brain believed at the time to be a classic sign of shaken baby syndrome. But now, medical experts point out that pneumonia and starving the brain of oxygen can create those symptoms, and Nikki had both. But back in 2002, the east Texas hospital staff thought they had a dad murdering his daughter. They called the police. They immediately suspected Roberson because of his odd demeanor. Brian Wharton was the chief detective for the Palestine Police Department and testified against Roberson at his trial.
BRIAN WHARTON: They were also telling us, Dad's here. Dad's the one that brought her in. He's acting a little strange. Was this him trying to cover something? It was just a hint, a clue that there was something amiss here.
DAVIES: Detective Wharton is now retired, and he traded in his badge for a Bible. Now, the Reverend Wharton says he and the entire system made a mistake. He says he's forever haunted by his role in putting an innocent man on death row, a man he says should be exonerated.
WHARTON: I'm stunned that we are at this point - I really am - that we are now dependent upon a clemency hearing to get justice for Robert. And so here's another moment in Texas, another moment for the death penalty, where we need to be taking long, hard looks at what we think is justice.
DAVIES: Roberson was convicted and sentenced to death largely because of his unemotional behavior that night and in the courtroom in front of the jury. But jurors were never told about Nikki's chronic medical problems. In recent years, medical experts reexamined Nikki's lung tissue and found that she was suffering from two types of pneumonia, which caused sepsis and then septic shock.
To date, courts have exonerated and released at least 33 people convicted based on the diagnosis of shaken baby syndrome. The medical consensus today is that the diagnosis is based on junk science. Throughout his 22 years on death row, Roberson says he's continued to cling to hope.
ROBERSON: I thought we had a fair and just criminal justice system. But I learned a lot different now, since, you know, what happened, you know, all these years, you know. And they tried to get me plead for a life sentence three times. I'm not going to take no life sentence, and I'm not going to plead up to nothing I didn't do.
DAVIES: Texas Governor Greg Abbott and the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles have not commented on the case. Roberson's attorneys are asking multiple courts to stop his October 17 execution. For NPR News, I'm David Martin Davies in San Antonio. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

(MENAFN- EIN Presswire)
WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, October 15, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- The DC Mobility Innovation District (DC MID) is excited to announce its partnership with Spin and Zipcar to launch a Universal Basic Mobility (UBM) Micro-Pilot in Washington, D.C. Convened and sponsored by Spin, this innovative initiative provides fully subsidized public
transportation options to participants with the goal of better understanding cost barriers and
travel choices for DC residents.
The UBM Micro-Pilot started September 25 and will continue through December 31, 2024. The pilot involves 10-20 participants from the Spin Access program and the DC MID network. Participants will be equipped with various transportation options, including fully subsidized transit, micromobility, and car sharing. The program started with two onboarding sessions on September 25 and 26, where participants gained access to these mobility offerings and provided initial feedback. Participants will receive benefits for three months from their start date, with onboarding that continues on a rolling basis through October.
Mobility offerings include free access to:
●WMATA MetroRail and MetroBus
●Spin bikes and scooters
●Zipcar carsharing
●E-cargo bike rentals through the DC MID's E-bike Library
“Our goal in convening this initiative is to dig deeper into the strong utilization of our current Spin Access program in the District, which provides free bike and scooter trips to income-eligible residents and accounts for more than 10 percent of total miles ridden across our entire fleet”, said John Lankford, Senior Director at Spin.“We want to look beyond the purely quantitative data to better understand how we can make our service even more beneficial and easier to access for District residents.”
To this end, the pilot study aims to collect in-depth qualitative data from a select group of District residents to assess the financial and travel effects of providing subsidized public transportation. Insights gathered will guide future program offerings and expansions. Surveys and interviews will explore mobility patterns, changes in transportation modes due to subsidies, affordability challenges and the broader impacts of reduced transportation costs on participants.
“The Universal Basic Mobility micro-pilot will allow us to better understand the transportation needs for some of DC's most vulnerable residents,” said Mitch LaRosa, Director of the DC MID.“Our findings will help the DC MID and its partners to develop trailblazing solutions that address mobility gaps for underserved populations.”
“Convenient, affordable transportation is key to unlocking opportunities for everyone, especially in low-income areas where access to mobility can transform daily life,” said William Sowers, Senior Manager of Public Policy and Partnerships at Zipcar.“By providing residents with the freedom to move easily between home, work, and leisure activities, we're not just enhancing accessibility - we're improving quality of life and building a more sustainable and equitable future.”
For the DC MID, access to transportation should be a right, not a privilege. This micro-pilot represents a critical step in Spin's mission to make mobility more inclusive and accessible, ensuring that everyone, regardless of income, has the freedom to move around their city. The DC MID, Spin, and Zipcar are committed to creating a world where transportation is free of barriers, and this micro-pilot demonstrates the potential for cities to adopt new, inclusive mobility solutions.

Imagine a dozen buildings stretching farther than the eye can see, combining to have enough floor space to fill the Mall of Georgia more than twice.
Now, fill that space with seemingly endless rows of computer servers that need more electricity than the entire output of one of Plant Vogtle’s two new nuclear reactors.
That’s what a data center developer envisions for a 950-acre property along I-75 in Monroe County, about 70 miles southeast of downtown Atlanta. It’s the latest computer server farm project to gain traction near Atlanta as the region emerges as an industry darling.
New York-based Datacore Innovations detailed its Monroe County project called Rumble Technology Campus in a Monday development of regional impact filing, also known as a DRI. It’s a state infrastructure report that evaluates projects that have a large enough scope to impact multiple jurisdictions.
The developer, which did not respond to requests for comment, is seeking to rezone a portion of the property from agricultural to allow for roughly 4.2 million square feet of data center space to be built across 12 buildings along Rumble Road. The project’s build-out value is estimated at $1.1 billion and will employ between 30 and 50 full-time employees, according to a September rezoning application.
Data centers are effectively warehouses filled with rows of computer equipment that power the internet, cloud services and the AI movement, and they’ve become one of the most desired uses for undeveloped land in metro Atlanta. By midyear, data center construction had increased 76% in the Atlanta market compared to the same time last year, the most among North America’s eight data center primary markets, data from real estate services firm CBRE showed.
The most common way to measure the size of a data center is by the power it consumes. And right now, there is more leasable data center space under construction as measured by power demand than there is total leasable data center space in metro Atlanta currently in use — the only major market in the country with such high demand, CBRE said.
The multiphase Rumble Technology Campus, which is projected to be completed by the end of 2038, has an estimated electricity demand of 1,120 megawatts. That’s slightly more than the output of one of Plant Vogtle’s two new nuclear reactors, each of which can produce enough electricity to power about 500,000 homes.
Developers tout the promises of high-paying tech jobs and property tax dollars to local governments and schools, but the state and many city and county development authorities dangle huge incentives to land the campuses. It’s unclear whether Datacore was offered any incentives for Rumble Technology Campus, and Monroe County officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

“Unlike industrial and warehousing projects, which call for mass grading, this project will only be graded around the proposed building sites,” Datacore wrote in its rezoning application, arguing its project will preserve more green space than other industrial developments.
The sheer amount of data center space poised to come to Georgia has become a point of contention for utilities, regulators and the communities targeted for these facilities. The centers require huge amounts of electricity and water to cool them, take up large swaths of land and typically create only a few dozen permanent jobs.
Douglas County, a hotbed for data centers, is poised to add another big name to its roster.
Amazon Web Services, the cloud computing platform for online retail giant Amazon, paid more than $37 million to acquire 118 acres of undeveloped land along Rock House Road near the border of Douglas and Cobb counties. Developer Taylor & Mathis, which previously filed a DRI to pursue a data center campus on the land, was the property’s seller. The Sept. 11 transaction was first reported in the Atlanta Business Chronicle.
Amazon Web Services did not respond to a request for comment about its development intentions and construction timeline.
