The highly awaited sequel to Joker, starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, has unfortunately flopped at the box office. Released in India on October 2, followed by its worldwide debut on October 4, the film failed to attract significant audience interest despite being a sequel to the 2019 hit.
Directed by Todd Phillips, the movie received mixed to negative reviews and struggled commercially. In response to its poor theatrical performance, the producers have decided to release it on OTT platforms within a month of its cinema release.
OTT Release Date for Joker: Folie à Deux
According to recent reports, Joker: Folie à Deux is set for a digital release on October 29, following its underwhelming box office run. While the exact platform for the OTT release has not yet been confirmed, the movie will be available for streaming less than a month after its October 4 premiere in North America.
Joker 2 vs Joker India Box Office Comparison
Joker: Folie à Deux had a decent start in India, grossing just over ₹5 crore on its opening day, October 2. However, its collections dropped consistently afterward, failing to surpass ₹2 crore on any subsequent day. The film’s five-day opening weekend earned ₹10.99 crore in India, with no boost from the weekend box office.
In contrast, the original Joker (2019), which earned Joaquin Phoenix an Oscar for his portrayal of Arthur Fleck, made ₹23 crore in India during its five-day opening weekend. Despite both films being released in the same period, their box office performances have shown a sharp difference five years apart.
How Did The Internet React?
It’s embarrassing for a great movie like *Joker*. They should have released *Joker 2* directly on OTT.🤦

Joker 1 was good though!! Btw Ott release jaaab hoga mujhe batana pls🤦♀️
— AMAYRA🪷 (@merimaanmarzia_) October 15, 2024
2.5/5 imo
Again I didn’t mind the beginning but the musical moments should’ve been more OTT and the movie should’ve had joker and harley together more as actual villains. Also harvey dent was terribly miscast. It’s well made though, fantastic cinematography and acting and score

Integrated combat solution, C-UAS tech showcased by Kongsberg at AUSA 2024
NewsOctober 14, 2024
WASHINGTON, D.C. Kongsberg Defense and Aerospace highlighted its integrated combat solution (ICS) as well as counter-uncrewed aerial system (C-UAS) technology at the AUSA 2024 Annual Meeting.
Kongsberg’s ICS, which enables target sharing and command across multiple platforms, is a platform-agnostic solution that is intended to enhance situational awareness and combat capability by integrating C5I systems, according to the company.
Additionally, Kongsberg’s ICS is a key component of the Typhon counter-uncrewed aerial system (C-UAS) currently operational in Ukraine. The system, which networks multiple sensors and weapons, offers a low-ercost kinetic solution against drone threats, the statement reads.
"The fielded system continues to see operational success in Ukraine with its ability to network multiple RWS and sensors using ICS to allow small units to conduct area C-UAS using readily available weapons and munitions to fire on a single drone," the company says.
Kongsberg also announced that its Remote Weapon System is under contract for full-rate production in the U.S. Marine Corps’ Marine Air Defense Integrated System (MADIS) program. The system "integrates medium caliber cannons and missiles to provide short-range air defense," the statement reads.

Francis Ngannou explains how tragic loss of his son stopped him giving up
Following the tragic passing of his infant son Kobe, former UFC superstar Francis Ngannou will make his return to MMA as he prepares to make his PFL debut.
Former UFC heavyweight world champion Francis Ngannou has vowed that his son's tragic death has given him newfound "purpose" as he looks to do his boy proud in his next fight. The 38-year-old colossus will come up against Renan Ferreira next as he makes his PFL debut - and MMA return - on October 19.
The Cameroonian-born legend fought back tears at a press conference in August as he spoke about the passing of his 15-month-old child Kobe back in April. The combat sports community united behind Ngannou with Conor McGregor among those who offered condolences to his contemporary after the news emerged.
Now, the man known to enthusiasts as "The Predator" has vowed to keep his son's memory alive as he looks to make a winning return to the octagon. His last MMA bout came back in January 2022, with that coming in the form of a unanimous decision win over Ciryl Gane at UFC 270.

- Conor McGregor teases new career move as wait for UFC return goes on
Speaking about how Kobe's death affected him, Ngannou reflected: "This fight was likely not to happen, I was most likely not to fight. But... thing that happen give you the purpose. Instead of using it as an excuse, of giving up, maybe use it as a purpose to continue. Give it more sense, give it more reason, make things more meaningful.
"He wouldn't [want] to be one the one taking me out and making me quit, he bravely asserted, as he vowed to fight in the memory of his late son, adding: "The only thing I can do is to make a purpose of his existence."
Prior to the fight, Ferreira sparked controversy with his comments in relation to the passing of Ngannou's son, as he said: "[Ngannou] has been going through a tough year in his life, but the toughest challenge in his life and in his year is gonna be me. I’m gonna be the biggest problem of his year right now."
However, it appears that the Cameroonian star was unwilling to be brought into a war of words with his upcoming opponent following those remarks. He said: "I don't think he's that kind of guy who's going to say such a bad thing, and I didn't take it personally.
"I have been in this situation where I have to speak English, which is not his first language, just as it is not mine. I have to speak, and they have to translate for me, and most of the time it doesn't come out the way I was expressing it."
On his opponent, he added: "He [Ferreira] seems to be a nice guy overall. Even before the fight was announced, I met him, and he's very respectful, so I don't think he had any intent to say something like that at any point. He didn't show any sign of disrespect or anything like that, which wouldn't matter."

Paying tribute to his son after the news of his death emerged, Ngannou took to Instagram to post a heartbreaking message reading: "Too soon to leave but yet he's gone. My little boy, my mate, my partner Kobe was full of life and joy. Now, he's laying without life. I shouted his name over and over but he's not responding.
"I was my best self next to him and now I have no clue of who I am. Life is so unfair to hit us where it hurts the most. How do you deal with such a thing? How can you live with it? Please help me if you have an idea because I really don't know what to do and how to deal with this."

We’ve finally received an official preview of next July’s Superman as director James Gunn has shared an exciting teaser featuring the Man of Tomorrow sitting alongside Krypto the Superdog, watching over Earth.
While filming in Cleveland, it became apparent that Krypto would appear in the movie. From set photos and videos, it looks like Mister Terrific chases him outside a pet store and ends up getting hit with a laser blast.
No dog was seen on set, likely because Krypto will be brought to life through CGI, similar to Cosmo in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
Who Is Krypto The Superdog?
James Gunn posted the first official image on X, showing Superman and Krypto sitting together on the moon, overlooking Earth. He shared, “Krypto will be on screens in Superman this summer,” and revealed that the character was inspired by his own dog, Ozu, whom he adopted after beginning to write Superman.
Ozu had a difficult start, having come from a hoarding situation with 60 other dogs. Gunn described how Ozu initially destroyed their home, chewing up furniture and even eating his laptop. It took time for Ozu to trust them, and Gunn reflected, “I remember thinking, ‘How hard would life be if Ozu had superpowers?’—and that’s how Krypto made it into the script and reshaped the story as Ozu reshaped my life.”
In a nod to #AdoptAShelterDog month, Gunn added, “Today, Ozu is often a very good boy.”
Will Krypto Wear A Cape?
This is the kind of comic-book imagery DC fans have been eager to see for years. Whether Krypto will eventually wear a cape is unclear, but it’s expected the superdog will play a major role in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.
As for the Superman movie itself, it’s likely a trailer will drop before the end of the year, potentially at CCXP in Brazil this December.
The film focuses on Superman’s journey to balance his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing in Smallville, Kansas. He embodies truth, justice, and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that often views kindness as outdated.
When Did Krypto First Appear In Comics?
Krypto, also known as Krypto the Superdog, is a superhero canine from DC Comics, often associated with Superman. In most storylines, Krypto is portrayed as Superman’s pet, typically shown as a white dog resembling a Labrador Retriever, a plain white Dalmatian, or a White Shepherd.
Krypto has made multiple appearances in various media, including his own animated show, the TV series Smallville, the live-action Titans on HBO Max, and the animated movie DC League of Super-Pets (2022), where Dwayne Johnson provided his voice. He is set to appear in live-action for the first time in the upcoming Superman film (2025), part of the DC Universe (DCU) franchise.
Krypto debuted in Adventure Comics #210 (March 1955) in a Superboy story, created by writer Otto Binder and artist Curt Swan. Although originally intended to be a one-time character, Krypto received positive fan response, leading to his return four issues later, where he became a regular in Superboy’s adventures.
About James Gunn’s Superman
David Corenswet will portray Superman, with Rachel Brosnahan starring as Lois Lane.
The cast also includes Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, and Gabriela de Faría as The Engineer. Supporting roles feature Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, Wendell Pierce as Perry White, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Pruitt Taylor Vince as Pa Kent, Neva Howell as Ma Kent, and more.
Nicholas Hoult will play Lex Luthor, and Milly Alcock will appear as Supergirl.
Superman is scheduled to hit theaters on July 11, 2025.

Autonomous mobile power station for use by military showcased at AUSA
NewsOctober 14, 2024
WASHINGTON. Mobile power-station company Dannar is highlighting its autonomous mobile power station (MPS) for use by the military at this week's AUSA Annual Meeting and Exposition.
According to the company's announcement, its MPS is an autonomous-capable, multipurpose modular, offroad platform that is able to provide bidirectional electrical power and energy storage and can power a wide variety of work attachments including front-end loaders, scissor lifts, or agricultural equipment. The MPS is a power bank on wheels that is able to deliver 1/2 mW of stored energy to exactly where it’s needed most, as Dannar calls it a "mega battery on wheels."
In military use, the company asserts, the MPS is helping speed up electric vehicle fleet deployment with flexible and highly portable energy storage.

Conor McGregor launches scathing rant at 'most abysmal UFC fighter in history'
Conor McGregor has lit the fuse for a potential rivalry upon his UFC return after he slammed one champion as the ‘most abysmal fighter in history'
Conor McGregor may be currently out of the UFC picture, but ‘The Notorious’ could have lit the fuse for a potential blockbuster comeback. The Irishman has been out of action for over three years but appears hungry to make a long-awaited comeback.
McGregor has continuously talked about a return to the octagon since he suffered a horrific leg break against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. He was scheduled to fight against Michael Chandler in June but withdrew due to injury, and a new bout is yet to be finalized.
But his latest outburst on social media could be the spark that sees McGregor finally return to the promotion as he launched a scathing verdict on UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad.
- Belal Muhammad responds to Ilia Topuria's extremely personal attack
- Conor McGregor UFC fight date and opponent confirmed by 'Notorious'
Given McGregor’s time out of the ring and the subsequent pounds he's adding on filling out, a return to lightweight looks unlikely, especially with his canceled bout against Chandler set to be fought at welterweight. He claimed over the weekend he'll most likely face Dan Hooker in Saudi Arabia - but didn't comment on the weight.
And the 36-year-old appears to be intent on making a comeback to target claiming the ‘triple crown’ by becoming the welterweight champion. McGregor fuelled the fire by taking aim at Muhammad in a now-deleted tweet.
“I’d love to crush my left hook into Belal’s temple and take down the triple crown,” McGregor wrote in the since-deleted comments. “I’d do it easily. And fast! I’d cave his skull heavy!
“The hurdles I face getting back to the Octagon are just harrowing. I am so sad over my June 29th fight cancelation. To think this bum (Muhammad) is now a UFC champion with zero knockdowns on his resume whatsoever is so bad. The UFC’s most abysmal zero revenue generating fighter in modern history."
Muhammad won the welterweight title from Leon Edwards at UFC 304 via unanimous decision. Across his entire 28-fight professional MMA record, he’s won 24 fights, with just five coming the way of knockout and 18 won by decision. During his UFC career, he has two TKO victories.
McGregor isn’t the only fighter to take aim at Muhammad this week as Ilia Topuria lamented the welterweight champ. The Georgian-Spaniard also slammed his fighting style and record as well as launching an incredibly personal attack.
DON'T MISS...
“NO FINISHES, NO KNOCKOUTS, NO KNOCKDOWNS, NO GIRLFRIEND, NO KIDS, BELAL HAS NEVER FINISHED ANY MAN OR WOMAN”, Topuria wrote on social media as he reshared a clip of Muhammad unable to continue in his original fight with Edwards, resulting in a non-contest following an eye poke by the Brit.
Muhammad is billed to make his first defense of his title at UFC 310 as he takes on the undefeated star Shavkat Rakhmonov. In the build-up to his fight and the Edwards’ victory, Muhammad has been working with Khabib Nurmagomedov and his team.
The rivalry between Khabib and McGregor would add another storyline to the potential bout if he continues to work with the undefeated former lightweight champion.

Apple Intelligence: Making Technology Feel Personal
Apple Intelligence is a set of features that work like a personal assistant, seamlessly built into your iPad mini. It understands your needs and helps simplify your day without requiring extra effort from you.

This means fewer frustrations and more natural interactions.
For anyone who writes—be it a quick note, a social post, or a detailed report—the Writing Tools can save time and prevent embarrassing typos. Refining, summarizing, or proofreading text can be done directly on your iPad, transforming rough drafts into polished work without needing multiple apps.
Apple Intelligence also enhances Photos. I remember creating a mini movie from a vacation just by typing a simple description—it was that easy, and my iPad mini handled everything seamlessly. Want to clean up an image by removing distractions? It’s all possible directly on the device; no extra software is needed. The goal is simple: to make everyday technology interactions smoother and smarter while protecting your privacy.

The Image Wand feature in Apple Pencil transforms rough sketches into polished illustrations, making creativity easy for everyone. For those who love emojis, Apple Intelligence allows you to create custom Genmojis simply by typing a description or using a friend’s photo. Siri also uses your personal context to tailor suggestions, becoming more proactive and understanding your needs, including drawing onscreen awareness to take action with your content. Even more, integrated ChatGPT capabilities allow users to leverage advanced AI assistance for writing, image processing, and document understanding without leaving the iPad’s ecosystem—all while maintaining privacy.
Create on the Go with Apple Pencil Pro
For anyone with a creative streak or just needing to take notes, Apple Pencil Pro makes the iPad mini your perfect companion. It responds instantly to squeezes, giving control over tools and line styles, ensuring you get the exact look you want. Haptic feedback enhances each interaction, making the experience feel even more real.
Sketching artwork or jotting down lecture notes becomes seamless with Apple Pencil Pro. It ensures you’re always equipped for creativity or quick note-taking whenever needed.
The Apple Pencil Pro turns the iPad mini into an intuitive math tool with the new Math Notes feature. You can write out equations by hand, and they’ll be instantly solved, or you can easily graph functions. This feature makes learning and problem-solving more interactive, especially for students who prefer handwriting over typing.
Faster Connectivity Wherever You Are
The iPad mini keeps you connected with Wi-Fi 6E, offering faster browsing and streaming, whether at home or working from a cozy café. If you prefer cellular, 5G capabilities mean you can stay online anywhere. eSIM support means you don’t need a physical SIM card—connecting is simple and easy.
The improved USB-C port also speeds up file transfers. Whether you’re moving photos, videos, or work documents, the quick data speeds save time, ensuring you spend more moments enjoying your content and less time waiting for it to load.
Portable, Practical, and Luxurious
With its 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display, the iPad mini is designed to be functional and beautiful. It’s perfect for watching shows, working on projects, or browsing—offering bright, sharp visuals that fit comfortably in your hand. The lightweight design makes it easy to bring with you everywhere, and the all-day battery life means it’s ready to work as hard as you do.
The new iPad mini makes power accessible for everyday use, enhancing productivity and creativity. Every feature is thoughtfully crafted to boost your daily activities and simplify how you use technology.

The Destructive Legacy of Mass Starvation
To understand the consequences of mass starvation in Gaza, one need look no further than the United States, where a history of slavery and genocide has triggered cycles of racism and discrimination that continue today. This is reflected in significantly higher rates of food insecurity among communities of color.
PHILADELPHIA – In the year since Hamas’s October 7, 2023, terrorist attack, Israeli forces have killed an estimated 41,200 Palestinians, including 16,700 children, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. But a recent letter in The Lancet puts the true death toll in Gaza much higher, at more than 186,000, when counting those killed as an indirect result of the conflict.

The annual Char Dham Yatra in Uttarakhand has gained significant momentum, with over 40 lakh pilgrims visiting the four revered shrines: Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri. According to the Chief Minister’s office, 27,789 pilgrims traveled to the Char Dham on October 14 alone. Among these, Kedarnath recorded the highest footfall with 11,309 pilgrims, followed by Badrinath with 6,644, Gangotri with 2,406, and Yamunotri with 3,290. In total, 40,92,360 pilgrims have visited the Char Dham this year.
Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami highlighted the arrangements on the Char Dham trails, noting that heavy rains had severely impacted the Kedarghati area on the night of July 31. He acknowledged the challenges faced in restoring the footpath but emphasized the government’s commitment to promptly resume the yatra. With the closure of the four Dhams approaching next month, enthusiasm among pilgrims is notably high.

CM Dhami reaffirmed that ensuring a smooth, safe, and well-organized Char Dham yatra is the government’s top priority. He stated that the yatra significantly contributes to the state’s economy and that plans are underway to enhance travel arrangements to accommodate the increasing number of devotees.
Despite the challenges posed by the Kedarghati disaster, the government successfully restored the Kedarnath yatra trail. As of September 30, a total of 37,91,205 pilgrims had participated in the Char Dham Darshan. Last year, 56.13 lakh pilgrims visited during the entire yatra period, while 46.29 lakh pilgrims came in 2022 and 34.77 lakh in 2019. The yatra experienced disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, attracting only 3.30 lakh and 5.29 lakh pilgrims, respectively.
This year’s Char Dham Yatra commenced later than usual, starting on May 10. In contrast, last year, the doors of Gangotri and Yamunotri opened on April 23, followed by Kedarnath on April 25 and Badrinath on April 27. The current yatra will continue until November.

ASHEVILLE, N.C. -- Governor Roy Cooper spoke alongside with FEMA and other state officials Tuesday morning to provide an update on North Carolina's recovery from Hurricane Helene.
This comes after officials say FEMA workers paused some operations briefly and adjusted recovery efforts in NC due to threats made over the weekend.
According to the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office, William Parson, 44, was armed with a handgun and rifle, threatening FEMA officials outside a grocery store that is functioning as a storm relief site. He faces a criminal charge of "going armed to the terror of the public."
Misinformation has been a source of contention in the aftermath of Helene.
"If you're participating in spreading this stuff, stop it," Cooper said Tuesday. "Whatever your aim is, the people you are really hurting are those in western North Carolina who need help. The safety of our government and volunteer response workers, including FEMA, remains a top priority. I've directed the Department of Public Safety to coordinate law enforcement assistance for FEMA and other responders who need it to help ensure their safety and security, so people can keep getting the help that they desperately need."
92 people are still unaccounted for in the state, he said.
FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell said misinformation about operations "has got to stop."
"Let me be clear, I take these threats seriously, and the safety of these responders is and will remain a priority for me and my team now," Criswell said. "Over the weekend, out of an abundance of caution, we made operational changes to keep FEMA personnel safe, but none of the changes we made impacted ongoing search and rescue or other life safety operations."
FEMA has continued to help those affected by Helene, she added. All normal operations have resumed.
Cooper also gave updates to progress made in western NC:
He also said there are some communities back open and welcoming visitors, which is paramount in getting their economy back up and running.

U.S. Army Blackhawk helicopters will evaluate Sikorsky flight-autonomy system under DARPA contract
NewsOctober 14, 2024
WASHINGTON. Sikorsky reports it won a $6 million award from the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to install the Sikorsky ALIAS/MATRIX flight-autonomy system onto the U.S. Army’s experimental fly-by-wire UH-60M Black Hawk helicopter.
Under the terms of the DARPA contract, Sikorsky -- a Lockheed Martin company -- will integrate the MATRIX system into the MX helicopter in 2025 with the aim of enabling the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) to explore and mature the practical applications and potential concept of operations of a scalable autonomy system. According to the Sikorsky announcement, the MATRIX evaluation will include assessment of different sensor suites to perceive and avoid threats, obstacles, and terrain, and development of standards and system specifications interfaced with the MATRIX system and a fly-by-wire flight control system.
The upgraded Black Hawk, designated MX, will test and evaluate a wide range of autonomy capabilities, from single-pilot operation to fully uninhabited flight, stated Sikorsky officials. “Autonomy-enabled aircraft will reduce pilot workload, dramatically improve flight safety, and give battle commanders the flexibility to perform complex missions in contested and congested battlespace, day or night in all weather conditions,” said Rich Benton, Sikorsky vice president and general manager. “Soldiers will rely on Black Hawk helicopters into the 2070s, and modernizing the aircraft today will pay dividends for decades across Army Aviation’s current and future aircraft.”
The MATRIX autonomy system is at the center of DARPA's ALIAS [Aircrew Labor In-cockpit Automation System] program. In 2020, Sikorsky provided the hardware and engineering support to add fly-by-wire flight controls to the MX aircraft as part of the ALIAS program. The company asserts that the MX aircraft, when combined with the MATRIX autonomy system, will be a near-exact copy of Sikorsky’s UH-60A fly-by-wire Optionally Piloted Black Hawk helicopter, the company’s flying lab that has tested MATRIX autonomy over hundreds of flight hours.

Earlier this year, a key party leader had said that the long-winding process of the internal organisational polls in the party will technically begin after the state units hold executive meetings. A membership drive was to follow these meetings, and the party had kickstarted the membership drive with Prime Minister Narendra Modi launching it on September 2. After the membership drive ends, a meeting of office bearers will be held and then a National Executive will take place.
This year, though, the party is grappling with low intake in membership numbers. While during Shah’s tenure 18 crore people became members, the party has just about enrolled 9 crore members in a month and a half.
Sources said that the president will be elected at the National Executive. For the election, state councils of atleast 50% states will have to be elected first. The party’s Constitution states that the president is elected by an electoral college consisting of members of the National Council as well as members of the State Council. Groups of 20 members of a state council can propose the name of any leader, with their consent, who has been a member of the party for 15 years.

WWE's Cody Rhodes pushing for WrestleMania to be hosted outside of U.S. for first time
WWE Champion Cody Rhodes has thrown his support behind efforts to bring WrestleMania to the UK, with the flagship event yet to be held outside of the United States
WWE Champion Cody Rhodes is championing for WrestleMania, WWE's premier event, to make a groundbreaking move to the UK within the next five years as the push to take the spectacle overseas gains traction.
During a productive July meeting, London Mayor Sadiq Khan wooed WWE executives Paul "Triple H" Levesque and Nick Khan about bringing the iconic wrestling extravaganza to Wembley Stadium.
Despite WWE's firm tradition of holding WrestleMania exclusively in the US for four decades, the UK fanbase has burgeoned, sparking widespread support for a London tournament from enthusiasts, political figures, and wrestling stars themselves.
- The Rock makes WWE return and sends fans wild at Bad Blood
- Fans confused by Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's diet after first-ever Hot Ones demand
Cody Rhodes, the current WWE titleholder, sees the potential London event as an exciting development for fans on both sides of the pond, voicing his aspirations to the BBC: "If I'm aiming, it would be cool to get it [in the UK] in the next five years," he said.
Rhodes also speculated on the enthusiasm of American fans for a Manchester or London-based WrestleMania: "I think American fans would jump at the chance to come to a WrestleMania [overseas], whether that that be in Manchester or London, I think they'd go nuts for it."
In the aftermath of discussions with WWE leadership, Mayor Khan emphasized his dedication to bolstering London's global sports hosting profile.
"I'm determined to cement our city's reputation as the undisputed sports capital of the world and it's exciting to be working with the WWE team," he said.
Khan's push to position the city as a premier sports destination received a significant endorsement from WWE icon John Cena, who expressed his support for London as an ideal WrestleMania location.
"The city of London, and all of the UK has supported WWE thru thick and thin. I try to minimize using the word 'deserve' so I will use more appropriate terms," Cena remarked in July.
DON'T MISS...
"I've said it before and stand by it. In my mind London has earned a chance to host WrestleMania. I won't get to compete when it happens but I will be there as a fan for sure."
Rhodes, who secured the WWE championship at Wrestlemania 40 in Philadelphia, considers Cena's backing crucial for the UK's bid to host the famed event.
"When the greatest of all time, as we like to call John, goes out there and says it, it almost wills itself into existence," Rhodes shared. "I'm very much looking forward to watching that situation unfold."
WrestleMania 41 is slated for Allegiant Stadium, the Las Vegas Raiders' home turf, scheduled for April 19-20, 2025. Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis is also on the books as a future WrestleMania venue, though the exact year remains up in the air.

“Our alliance will win the assembly elections in Maharashtra and Jharkhand. We have learned from Haryana and will be more careful. Wherever we unite for elections, we emerge victorious. We are confident of winning in Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, and other by-elections as well,” Rawat affirmed.
Earlier, Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal also expressed optimism about the party’s prospects in both states. “We are confident of winning the assembly elections and the by-elections across the country. The Jharkhand Assembly’s term ends in December, yet they announced elections first. Maharashtra’s term concludes on November 26, but those elections were announced last. This indicates a lack of transparency, but we are prepared to fight and win,” Venugopal emphasized.

Kannur: Revenue employees of Kasaragod and Kannur are likely to go on en mass casual leave on Wednesday, October 16, demanding a comprehensive inquiry into the death of Kannur Additional District Magistrate Naveen Babu P, and action against those responsible for his death.
Meanwhile, the BJP has announced a hartal (shutdown) in Kannur Corporation limit from 6 am to 6 pm on Wednesday, demanding booking Kannur District Panchayat president PP Divya for murder. Naveen Babu ended his life after Divya publicly humiliated him and accused him of corruption at his farewell meeting on Monday.
Meanwhile, a call for mass leave was circulated in the WhatsApp group of Village officials and Collectorate employees in Kannur and Kasaragod on Tuesday. Employees have responded positively to the call, said two senior officials affiliated to the CPI, which controls the Revenue Department. "No organisation has officially called for the mass leave. But we are not going to turn up. It is an emotional decision which we took on our personal capacity," said a senior official in Kasaragod Collectorate.
Most of Naveen Babu's career was spent in Kasaragod, and his wife Manjula also grew up and went to college in Kasaragod because her parents were posted in the district, said Revenue officials. Manjula too worked as Badoor village officer in Kasaragod in 2006. She is now the Additional Tahasildar of Konni in Pathanamthitta district.
Another official in Kannur Collectorate said that the number of people who would respond to the call for leave would be known only tomorrow. "We would either go on leave or turn up and work without marking attendance," he said. "The attendance would anyway be thin because BJP has called a hartal," he said. On Tuesday, employees in Kannur boycotted work and staged a protest demanding action against the culprits responsible for Naveen Babu's death.
Kasaragod has around 1,000 revenue employees and Kannur has around 1,500 Revenue employees, they said. Naveen Babu was the village officer in Kasaragod's Adoor village. As his career progressed, he was posted back in Kasaragod Collectorate as Junior Superintendent. Then he was posted back to his home district.
When he was promoted as Senior Superintendent, he was posted back in Kasaragod Collectorate, said a senior official who was Munjula's junior in Kasaragod Government College.
Later, was transferred to another district. He was posted back in Kasaragod as Deputy Collector (Election). He was promoted as Additional District Magistrate and posted in Kasaragod on April 30, 2023. As part of pre-election transfer, he was posted as Kannur ADM in January 2024.
"Naveen Babu is a pucca CPM sympathiser and member of the party's employee union. He had applied for a transfer to his home district in Pathanamthitta but the request was not considered because the CPM wanted its man in the ADM's post in Kannur," said an official in Kasaragod collectorate and member of Kerala Gazetted Officers Union, an organisation affiliated to the CPM.
The official who studied with Manjula said he knew Naveen Babu since 2006. "He is a very efficient officer. He is known to hold on to the files to study them. But when he starts clearing them, he does it in one go. Perhaps, that is what happened in Kannur, too. He is never known to sit on files for financial gain," the official said.
Another Collectorate official said that Naveen Babu was in charge of the Kasaragod Assembly constituency during the Chief Minister's Nava Kerala Sadas campaign. "He managed it well. There was no complaint against him then or during his long years of service as a Revenue employee in Kasaragod," he said.
In a statement, Revenue employees of Kasaragod said that Wednesday's protest was for demanding justice for Naveen Babu and also for the creation of a work environment that allows employees to work with dignity and without fear.

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) The ReGen Brands ecosystem features non-profit and for-profit entities dedicated to nourishing brands that regenerate life
Boulder, Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ReGen Brands , dedicated to nourishing brands that regenerate life, today announced the launch of an unprecedented education, community, and financing ecosystem for CPG brands supporting regenerative agriculture. This ecosystem aims to catalyze a food system transformation to restore the health of our soils, our food, our people, and our planet.
At the helm are three natural foods veterans: ReGen Brands Podcast hosts and leading voices in the regenerative agriculture industry Anthony Corsaro and Kyle Krull are joined by Arron Mansika , who has almost two decades of natural foods industry expertise, including the co-creation of the Naturally Network.
“A regenerative food system needs regenerative brands - brands building holistic solutions with nutrition, climate, biodiversity, and social equity in mind,” said Anthony Corsaro, Co-Founder of ReGen Brands.“We've spent the last three years deeply understanding the significant unmet needs of this community, and we're launching this new ecosystem to help solve them. We exist to inform, connect, and fund the regenerative revolution of CPG.”
ReGen Brands' multifaceted approach to supporting brands that support regenerative agriculture holds the promise of advancing the entire regenerative movement. This new ecosystem will feature three entities: ReGen Brands Institute, ReGen Brands Coalition, and ReGen Brands Capital.
ReGen Brands Institute : Brands supporting regenerative agriculture need tailored insights to help them win in the marketplace. This insights engine provides news, perspectives, and education on the world of regenerative CPG to brands, retailers, investors, and other food system stakeholders. To date, this entity has produced 80 podcasts, 76 email newsletters, and 81 blog posts, becoming the most trusted and followed resource in regenerative CPG. The Institute will continue producing these short-form resources and also begin publishing more in-depth industry research through reports, databases, and other long-form content. Their inaugural report, The State of Regenerative CPG – Successes, Challenges, and Opportunities for Collective Action , was released today in conjunction with the launch of the new ReGen Brands ecosystem.

The Coalition is the first organization to unite brands with various types of regenerative product claims under one banner to take collective action for positive change. The Coalition operates as a 501(c)(6) non-profit.
"The Coalition gives us a platform to amplify our shared regenerative mission and collaborate on solutions that are bigger than any one brand,” said Daniela Jensen, Co-Founder of Big Picture Foods and Board Member of ReGen Brands Coalition.“Together, we can drive systemic change."
ReGen Brands Capital (coming in 2025): Brands supporting regenerative agriculture need aligned capital that matches their unique context. This will be a brand capitalization advisor, provider, and connector, aligning regenerative CPG growth strategies and needs with the most symbiotic funding sources. Capital aims to help close the massive funding gap for regenerative brands by championing new, innovative financial products and fund models better aligned with holistic, regenerative business outcomes.
“The success of the regenerative movement depends on the success of individual regenerative brands,” said Kyle Krull, Co-Founder of ReGen Brands.“Regenerative brands face unique supply chain challenges, an evolving certification landscape, complex consumer messaging decisions, diverse retailer requirements, and many more distinct issues. Brands supporting regenerative agriculture need an opportunity to learn from each other and work together to solve the biggest issues affecting their individual companies and the movement at large. We designed this ecosystem to be a home for that work.”
The leaders of the new ReGen Brands ecosystem combine diverse expertise to lead this industry-first ecosystem. Co-founder Kyle Krull serves as the Senior Director of Sales at Kettle & Fire and brings more than a decade of natural foods industry expertise, including serving as a key contributor to Kettle & Fire's growth and success. Co-founder Anthony Corsaro has a 100-year family legacy in food, serves as an active angel investor in many regenerative brands, and stands as a leading voice in the regenerative agriculture movement. Inaugural Executive Director Arron Maniska has almost two decades of experience in natural products.

Oh, absolutely business owners do. If you’re operating a small business, you’re interacting at some level with a customer and this means protecting yourself with insurance.
Although the cost varies by type of operation, the business insurance benefits far outweigh the cost. And liability insurance coverage helps you protect your business. There are many types of business insurance products, making liability insurance a basic necessity for small business owners.
Let’s see how professional and general liability insurance coverage provide protection for you.
What is Liability Insurance for Small Businesses?
There are two basic types of liability insurance, professional and general liability insurance. Business owners could need one type or both:
- General liability insurance – General liability insurance is the most common business insurance coverage. General liability coverage protects your business if a client or visitor is injured at your place of business.General liability insurance also provides protection for damages you cause while doing business. For example, you’re a contractor and you break a customer’s window when you’re putting up your extension ladder. General liability insurance also will protect your business against claims of reputation harm (someone claims libel or slander) and advertising injury (someone is hurt by your product claims).
- Professional liability – Professional liability coverage is commonly called Errors and Omissions insurance. It protects against errors in the service provided. For example, you’re a financial planner and an investor’s portfolio goes south. Or you’re a couple’s counseling therapist and someone believes you gave bad advice.
Which Businesses Need Liability Insurance?
You may need both general liability insurance and professional liability insurance.
You need general liability insurance to operate a business. Without general liability coverage, you are leaving yourself open to lawsuits regarding your products and you are not covered for property damages you cause or accidents that happen to a visitor to your business. If a salesperson or visitor has a slip/fall injury at your place of business, you’re not covered.
You may need both types of business insurance if you provide professional services. Here’s an example: You are an accountant. One of your tax return clients slips on a wet floor in your office bathroom, tearing an ACL. That’s where general liability business insurance kicks in.
You give advice to a tax return client, recommending a different way to handle equipment depreciation to reduce taxes. Two years later, the client hears from the IRS. Your advice wasn’t correct and the client owes back taxes. That’s where professional liability coverage would provide coverage.
What Does General Liability Insurance Cover?
Here’s a more specific breakdown of what small business owners need to know about general liability insurance coverage.
Medical Expenses
General liability insurance policies cover you if a visitor or client suffers a bodily injury at your place of business. The person’s bills for medical treatment could be astronomical, and customer injury can involve medical bills plus court costs and attorney fees – an obvious reason for you to carry general liability insurance.
Property Damage
If you go to clients’ properties to do work, your general liability policy will cover you if you cause property damage. For example, you’re a landscaper and you cause property damage to a building when a rock discharges from a mower, or you run over a row of hydrangeas. In either case, you have damaged a person’s property while performing services, and you’re legally responsible.
Legal Defense Costs
One of the highest payouts an insurance company pays out on general liability claims isn’t for bodily injury – it is for the cost of legal fees. For example, the slip/fall bathroom injury to a client’s ACL causes stress and loss of income. In addition to seeking payment of medical expenses, the client sues for additional monies. Your general liability policy would cover legal defense costs, including legal fees and related costs.
Personal and Advertising Injury
General liability business insurance covers you if someone claims your product was promoted by false advertising. For example, you sell a mattress that is ‘guaranteed to reduce back pain’ and someone claims it didn’t work.
Personal injury claims come from someone who believes you have slandered or libeled their business. For example, you’re operating a food truck and one of your employees tells a customer that someone else’s food truck business doesn’t maintain cleanliness standards.
What Does Professional Liability Insurance Cover?
Errors and Omissions
This is broad coverage and protects you against a general liability claim of negligence, misrepresentation, or violation of good faith.
As you can imagine, these are general terms and claims typically involve legal fees. Your insurance company will cover defense costs including legal fees, the amount of a settlement/judgment (up to what’s set in the policy), and administrative costs (such as preparing documentation).
What is Not Covered by Business Liability Insurance?
Now that you know what is covered, you need to know what isn’t covered with this type of small business insurance:
- Commercial property insurance – Your general liability covers you if you damage someone else’s property, but to protect your own business property you need commercial property, which protects your building and business equipment. You may need commercial property insurance even if you operate from your house – unless you can get a “rider” from your homeowner’s policy to cover your business. You need commercial property even for premises rented by you.
- Commercial auto insurance – Yes, you need a separate commercial auto policy to cover a vehicle or vehicles you use to conduct business operations.
- Worker’s compensation – If you have employees, you need a separate worker’s compensation policy. In this age of subcontractors, many small business owners are opting to buy worker’s compensation policies that cover part-time and/or temporary workers, even 1099ers.
- Cyber Security – Many insurance companies are opting to either add this to their liability coverages or offer it as a separate policy. For example, you may be able to get a Business Owner’s policy which includes general and/or professional liability coverage, plus cyber security. Cyber security is needed for all normal business operations where customers’ personal data is needed as part of doing business. It’s one of the most overlooked and needed small business insurance products.
Small Business General Liability Insurance Cost
How much does general liability cost? The insurance policy cost varies by specific business and the business’s amount of revenue. It can also vary by your chosen coverage limits. If you choose an insurance company that offers umbrella coverages, such as a business owner’s policy, that will lower your general liability insurance cost.
In general, you can expect to pay as little as $29 a month for basic business liability insurance coverage.
Small Business Professional Liability Insurance Cost
Rates vary from one insurance company to another. Professional liability business insurance varies by type of business and annual revenue.
In general, you can expect to pay as little as $20 a month for basic coverage limits.
How to Choose the Right Liability Insurance for Your Small Busines
Before you get general liability insurance or professional liability insurance, speak with a legal professional about setting up your business as a limited liability company. By forming an LLC, you can get financial protection by separating your business assets from your personal assets.
Here are some tips for the small business owner:
- Network with other small business owners
- Shop online. With just a few clicks, you can start looking at quotes.
- Shop in person.
- Get a general liability insurance quote and a professional liability quote if needed, and compare.
- Carefully consider the deductible. With any claim, your rates will increase. Is it better to have a higher deductible – intending to pay for damages and not make a claim? How much could you afford to pay out of pocket?
- Evaluate your quotes.
- As a final deciding factor, call the customer service line that you’d use to make a claim. See if you would be able to tolerate the wait time.
Best General Liability Insurance for Small Business
Every business owner needs general liability insurance. Many also need professional liability insurance.
We’ve chosen companies which provide both. These companies also offer a Business Owners Policy or BOP, which can help you save money by combining policies under one umbrella.
These companies also offer cyber insurance and other insurance products. For example, Progressive offers commercial auto insurance.
The Hartford
The Hartford offers a wide variety of additional insurance products, and can also provide financial advice.
State Farm
State Farm offers riders to homeowners policies for many home-based businesses. If you have set up your business at home, you can save money by buying a rider instead of a separate policy.
NextInsurance
NextInsurance is the go-to for contractors and landscapers who want to set up a quick policy. NextInsurance also offers policies for daily, weekly or monthly periods of time.
Biberk
Biberk Insurance is a favorite for subcontractors who are working at third-party locations. Biberk offers many insurance policy options.
Progressive
Progressive is known as an auto insurance company but provides many types of business insurance. Since it offers both a general liability insurance policy and commercial auto, you may be able to save money by using the same carrier to get both types of insurance.

Robert Roberson is set to be the first person to be executed in the U.S. based on the largely discredited "shaken baby syndrome" hypothesis unless Texas officials intervene.
Last week, Roberson's attorneys filed an emergency motion asking the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals to halt Roberson's Oct. 17 execution.
"[Roberson] fluctuates between despair, and then being buoyed with hope when anyone expresses sympathy and encouragement," his attorney Gretchen Sween told ABC News. "It is yet another layer of cruelty in this process watching what he's going through."
According to Roberson's attorneys, he woke up to find his 2-year-old daughter Nikki lying on the floor at the foot of the bed one night in 2002. They say Roberson comforted her, put her back to bed and went back to sleep himself. He found Nikki unconscious with blue lips when he woke up the next morning. He took her to an emergency room, where she was ultimately pronounced dead.
Roberson, a 57-year-old man, was then convicted in her death.
Roberson was found guilty based on the testimony from a pediatrician who cited swelling and hemorrhages in Nikki's brain at the time as a "shaken baby syndrome" diagnosis even though there is limited evidence to support this as an accurate diagnosis. The hypothesis has come under serious scrutiny in biomechanical studies, as well as lengthening medical and legal literature. The medical examiner also suspected that Nikki sustained multiple head injuries, and considered the death a homicide in the official autopsy.
ABC News has reached out to both the pediatrician and medical examiner cited in court documents for comment.
Roberson is autistic, according to his legal team, which affects how he expresses emotions -- a concern that also arose during the trial.
Since his conviction, new evidence found that Nikki had pneumonia at the time of her death and had been prescribed respiratory-suppressing drugs by doctors in the days leading up to her death. These drugs include the narcotic drug codeine and promethazine, both of which are no longer prescribed to children Nikki's age or those in her condition because it could impair their ability to breathe and be deadly.
Following a post-mortem toxicology report, medical toxicology and emergency room medicine expert Dr. Keenan Bora concluded that high levels of promethazine are likely to have exacerbated Nikki's issues breathing.
A reexamination of her lung tissue by lung pathology expert Dr. Francis Green also found that chronic interstitial viral pneumonia and acute bacterial pneumonia were damaging her lungs, causing sepsis and then septic shock, leading to vital organ failure.
Over 30 medical and scientific experts have written to the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles to reconsider Roberson's sentence that was hinged on the "shaken baby syndrome."
"Today, no reputable medical doctor would fail to conduct a thorough, multi-disciplined exploration of all possible causes of death because it is now known that many phenomena - including accidental short falls and naturally occurring disease - can cause the same intracranial conditions that 'mimic' inflicted head injury," the letter read.
Roberson's attorneys argue that state law Article 11.073 enables reviews of wrongful convictions based on changes in scientific evidence.
A bipartisan group of 86 Texas House of Representatives members have spoken out in support of Roberson's clemency request, arguing that Article 11.073 should have resulted in a new trial.
"Meeting Robert truly brought home the tragic reality of his situation," state Rep. Lacey Hull said in a statement to the advocacy group the Innocence Project. "Despite his pending execution, he is full of hope and faith and a desire to help others. He still grieves the loss of his daughter and is hopeful and thankful to everyone helping his cause. I am praying that he sees the justice and new trial that he and Nikki deserve."
In 2013, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals denied Roberson's request to overturn his conviction, after a local judge argued his case had insufficient evidence, according to The Texas Tribune.
The Court of Criminal Appeals denied Roberson's most recent petition for a new trial in September, dismissing the application as "an abuse of the writ," or raising a claim that should have been raised in an earlier petition.
The court declined to address the merits of Roberson's claim in the dismissal.
Lead detective Brian Wharton, who directed Roberson to be arrested based on the "shaken baby" theory and testified against him in the trial, has also since called for Roberson's freedom.
"I will forever be haunted by the role I played in helping the State put this innocent man on death row," he said in a letter in support. "Robert's case will forever be a burden on my heart and soul. But it is not too late for Texas to change course and stop his execution. I sincerely hope that Governor Abbott and the Board will step in to do so."
Since 1992, more than 30 people have been exonerated after being wrongfully convicted under the shaken baby hypothesis, according to the National Registry of Exonerations.
ABC News has reached out to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles for further comment.

2024-10-15Ghana calls for peaceful coexistence between Israel and Palestine
Louisa Hanson
The Government of Ghana has urged Israel and Palestine to work together towards peaceful coexistence, emphasizing the need for secure borders and self-determination for both nations.
This appeal, according to Graphic Online reports, was made by Louisa Hanson, Director of the Middle East Bureau at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in response to the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which has

Hanson made these remarks during a commemoration event marking the one-year anniversary of the Hamas massacre in Israel, held at the residence of the Israeli Ambassador in Accra last Tuesday.
The massacre, which occurred on October 7, 2023, resulted in the deaths of 1,200 Israelis and the abduction of 251 people of various nationalities to Gaza. Of those abducted, 101 remain captive. The commemoration included a moving documentary about the tragic events, followed by prayers led in Hebrew by Rabbi Noach Majesky and in English by Bishop Dick Essandoh of Action Chapel International.
Expressing Ghana's solidarity with Israel, Hanson acknowledged the pain and loss caused by the massacre, stating, “Together, we remember their names and their stories.”
She reiterated Ghana’s condemnation of the attack, emphasizing the nation's hope for international efforts to promote peaceful coexistence and understanding in the Middle East. Hanson also expressed the desire for the release of the remaining hostages in Gaza and for peace to be achieved by the next anniversary.
The Israeli Ambassador-designate to Ghana, Roey Gilad, reflected on the emotional toll of the October 7 massacre, describing it as "the biggest disaster for the Jewish people since World War II."
He noted that Israel continues to mourn the loss of lives and yearns for the return of the abducted. Gilad thanked Ghana for its support and called on the country to help lead other African nations in understanding Israel’s challenges as it seeks peace and security in the region.

Kannur: Revenue employees of Kasaragod and Kannur are likely to go on en mass casual leave on Wednesday, October 16, demanding a comprehensive inquiry into the death of Kannur Additional District Magistrate Naveen Babu P, and action against those responsible for his death.
Meanwhile, the BJP has announced a hartal (shutdown) in Kannur Corporation limit from 6 am to 6 pm on Wednesday, demanding booking Kannur District Panchayat president PP Divya for murder. Naveen Babu ended his life after Divya publicly humiliated him and accused him of corruption at his farewell meeting on Monday.
Meanwhile, a call for mass leave was circulated in the WhatsApp group of Village officials and Collectorate employees in Kannur and Kasaragod on Tuesday. Employees have responded positively to the call, said two senior officials affiliated to the CPI, which controls the Revenue Department. "No organisation has officially called for the mass leave. But we are not going to turn up. It is an emotional decision which we took on our personal capacity," said a senior official in Kasaragod Collectorate.
Most of Naveen Babu's career was spent in Kasaragod, and his wife Manjula also grew up and went to college in Kasaragod because her parents were posted in the district, said Revenue officials. Manjula too worked as Badoor village officer in Kasaragod in 2006. She is now the Additional Tahasildar of Konni in Pathanamthitta district.
Another official in Kannur Collectorate said that the number of people who would respond to the call for leave would be known only tomorrow. "We would either go on leave or turn up and work without marking attendance," he said. "The attendance would anyway be thin because BJP has called a hartal," he said. On Tuesday, employees in Kannur boycotted work and staged a protest demanding action against the culprits responsible for Naveen Babu's death.
Kasaragod has around 1,000 revenue employees and Kannur has around 1,500 Revenue employees, they said. Naveen Babu was the village officer in Kasaragod's Adoor village. As his career progressed, he was posted back in Kasaragod Collectorate as Junior Superintendent. Then he was posted back to his home district.
When he was promoted as Senior Superintendent, he was posted back in Kasaragod Collectorate, said a senior official who was Munjula's junior in Kasaragod Government College.
Later, was transferred to another district. He was posted back in Kasaragod as Deputy Collector (Election). He was promoted as Additional District Magistrate and posted in Kasaragod on April 30, 2023. As part of pre-election transfer, he was posted as Kannur ADM in January 2024.
"Naveen Babu is a pucca CPM sympathiser and member of the party's employee union. He had applied for a transfer to his home district in Pathanamthitta but the request was not considered because the CPM wanted its man in the ADM's post in Kannur," said an official in Kasaragod collectorate and member of Kerala Gazetted Officers Union, an organisation affiliated to the CPM.
The official who studied with Manjula said he knew Naveen Babu since 2006. "He is a very efficient officer. He is known to hold on to the files to study them. But when he starts clearing them, he does it in one go. Perhaps, that is what happened in Kannur, too. He is never known to sit on files for financial gain," the official said.
Another Collectorate official said that Naveen Babu was in charge of the Kasaragod Assembly constituency during the Chief Minister's Nava Kerala Sadas campaign. "He managed it well. There was no complaint against him then or during his long years of service as a Revenue employee in Kasaragod," he said.
In a statement, Revenue employees of Kasaragod said that Wednesday's protest was for demanding justice for Naveen Babu and also for the creation of a work environment that allows employees to work with dignity and without fear.

Piezoelectric ceramics are a unique class of advanced materials that generate an electric charge in response to mechanical stress and, conversely, can produce mechanical movement when exposed to an electrical field. This dual functionality is made possible by their crystalline structure, which lacks a center of symmetry, allowing ions within the material to displace under applied pressure or electric fields. The versatility of piezoelectric ceramics lies not only in their energy conversion capabilities but also in their adaptability to various shapes and sizes, allowing for the development of innovative devices ranging from micro-scale sensors to large-scale actuators.
The growth in the piezoelectric ceramics market is driven by several factors, including the increasing demand for precision sensors and actuators, the rising adoption of advanced medical imaging technologies, and the growing focus on energy harvesting and sustainable solutions. One of the primary drivers is the expanding use of piezoelectric ceramics in automotive electronics, where they are used in a wide range of sensors and actuators to enhance vehicle safety, efficiency, and performance. With the shift towards electric and autonomous vehicles, the need for reliable and precise sensing technologies is greater than ever, creating a robust demand for high-performance piezoelectric components.
Another significant growth driver is the rising adoption of piezoelectric ceramics in medical applications, particularly in ultrasound imaging and therapeutic devices. The ability of these materials to generate and detect ultrasonic waves makes them essential for high-resolution imaging and non-invasive treatments, supporting the trend towards advanced diagnostics and personalized medicine. Additionally, the increasing emphasis on renewable energy and energy-efficient systems is propelling the demand for piezoelectric ceramics in energy harvesting applications. These materials are uniquely suited to convert ambient mechanical vibrations into electrical energy, making them ideal for powering wireless sensors, portable electronics, and other low-power devices.
Moreover, the trend toward miniaturization in consumer electronics, robotics, and industrial automation is driving the development of smaller, more efficient piezoelectric devices that can perform complex tasks with high precision and reliability. Lastly, advancements in material science and processing technologies have enabled the production of more robust and environmentally friendly piezoelectric ceramics, addressing regulatory concerns and opening new opportunities in markets that require lead-free solutions. These factors, coupled with the continuous push for smarter, more efficient technologies, are expected to drive significant growth in the piezoelectric ceramics market in the coming years. Why Are Piezoelectric Ceramics So Important in Modern Technology? Piezoelectric ceramics are at the heart of many modern technologies due to their unparalleled ability to convert mechanical energy into electrical signals and vice versa, enabling a diverse range of applications that are critical for advanced electronic systems. One of the most significant advantages of these ceramics is their high sensitivity to pressure, making them ideal for use in sensors that require precision and reliability. In the automotive industry, for example, piezoelectric sensors are employed in fuel injectors, anti-lock braking systems (ABS), and engine knock detectors, where they play a crucial role in enhancing vehicle safety and performance. In the medical field, piezoelectric ceramics are used in ultrasound imaging equipment to generate and receive high-frequency sound waves, enabling non-invasive diagnostic procedures with high accuracy.
Moreover, they are a key component in piezoelectric actuators, which are used in various precision applications, such as in inkjet printers, optical devices, and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), where their rapid response and fine control are essential. Another notable application is in energy harvesting systems, where piezoelectric ceramics can capture and convert ambient mechanical vibrations into usable electrical energy, offering a sustainable solution for powering low-energy devices such as wireless sensors and portable electronics. With the growing focus on renewable energy and sustainable technologies, the role of piezoelectric ceramics in energy harvesting is expected to expand significantly. How Are Manufacturers Innovating to Expand the Potential of Piezoelectric Ceramics? The piezoelectric ceramics market is undergoing rapid innovation as manufacturers seek to enhance the performance, versatility, and environmental sustainability of these materials to meet the evolving demands of various high-tech industries. One of the most critical areas of innovation is the development of lead-free piezoelectric ceramics. Traditional piezoelectric ceramics, such as lead zirconate titanate (PZT), are known for their excellent piezoelectric properties but contain significant amounts of lead, raising environmental and health concerns. To address this issue, researchers are focusing on creating lead-free alternatives using materials like potassium sodium niobate (KNN) and bismuth sodium titanate (BNT).
Additionally, the introduction of composite piezoelectric materials, which combine ceramics with polymers or other flexible materials, has opened new possibilities for the design of lightweight, flexible, and high-performance devices. These composites are particularly suitable for wearable technologies, flexible sensors, and energy harvesting systems, where conventional rigid ceramics might not be practical. Another area of innovation is in the miniaturization and integration of piezoelectric ceramics into micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and nano-scale devices. By using advanced fabrication techniques such as thin-film deposition and additive manufacturing, manufacturers can produce micro-scale piezoelectric elements that are integrated directly onto semiconductor wafers, paving the way for compact and highly efficient components in smartphones, medical implants, and advanced robotics.
Furthermore, manufacturers are exploring the use of piezoelectric ceramics in smart materials and structures that can self-monitor, self-repair, or adapt to environmental changes, enhancing their functionality in aerospace, automotive, and civil engineering applications. Advances in processing technologies, such as precision sintering and hot-pressing methods, are also enabling the production of ceramics with higher density, improved mechanical strength, and superior piezoelectric properties.

Google Follows Microsoft's Lead With Nuclear Power for AI As AI gets more powerful, it requires more energy.
By Sherin Shibu Edited by Melissa Malamut
Key Takeaways
- Google signed an agreement on Monday to buy nuclear energy from engineering company Kairos Power by 2030.
- The agreement provides Google with 500 megawatts of power.
Microsoft is planning to reopen a nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania, but it's not the only tech giant tapping into nuclear energy to meet AI's increasing power needs: Google is also getting into the game with a new partnership.
On Monday, Google signed "the world's first corporate agreement" to buy nuclear energy from engineering company Kairos Power. Within the next six years, Kairos Power will get its first power-generating nuclear reactor up and running. By 2035, the company will provide Google with multiple sources of nuclear power.
The agreement adds 500 megawatts (MWs) of power to the U.S. grid.
Per Google's statement, the agreement was necessary to support AI advancements.
"This agreement helps accelerate a new technology to meet energy needs cleanly and reliably, and unlock the full potential of AI for everyone," Google wrote.
Google is already behind on its environmental goals because of investments in AI — the technology was the main cause of emissions going up 48% since 2019. Nuclear energy is a carbon-free energy source, another reason Google noted for the partnership.
Meanwhile, Microsoft has signed an agreement to buy nuclear energy from Three Mile Island, a plant that experienced the most serious accident in U.S. commercial operating history in 1979. The plant shut down in 2019 for economic reasons but will reopen with a $1.6 billion investment. Microsoft will buy energy from it for 20 years.

Architects: Nidus

- Year: 2023

Text description provided by the architects. The two Sankt Göres townhouses in Düsseldorf Kaiserswerth are the first new Nidus buildings: unadorned but deliberately quoting architectural history, built monolithically and reduced to the essentials with natural materials. The two townhouses „Sankt Göres" are located in the north of Dusseldorf in Germany. Slightly set back, they only cast a spell over the viewer at a second glance.
Classic forms such as the arched windows in oak and regional materials such as the façade in exposed brickwork quote the architectural context and exude a feeling of familiarity. The façades are composed like pictures, playing with visual habits in terms of form and proportion. The houses are entered from the side via a portal in exposed concrete and front doors in oak, one with a round arch, the other angular.
Inside, the floor plans follow a dramaturgy: accents and highlights are followed by quiet passages. Motifs and materiality of Japanese living culture are taken up and combined with German design. The living area extends over three levels: on the ground floor, there is an open-plan living area with conservatories next to the kitchen while the private rooms are located on the upper levels. Despite their clear unity, the houses retain their uniqueness, blending in without making a grand show and yet not disappearing into uniformity.

(ATLANTA) — Early in-person voting kicks off in Georgia on Tuesday as uncertainty over new election rule changes looms large in one of the crucial states that will decide this year’s presidential election.
Georgia counties will provide early in-person voting for at least 16 days, with some counties offering an extra voting day on Sunday. Nov. 1 will be the last day of early in-person voting.
The commencement of Georgia’s three-week period for early voting comes as the Georgia state election board recently passed sweeping new changes to the state’s election system, including how votes are tabulated.
Over the summer, the Republican-controlled State Election Board passed a rule requiring all ballots to be hand counted on election night, prompting legal challenges and pushback from both major parties as officials warned about potential delays in reporting results.
Georgia’s Attorney General Chris Carr, a Republican, told the board it was operating outside of its authority, and warned that the rule changes were likely not lawful. Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign joined a lawsuit from Georgia Democrats suing to block the last-minute rule changes.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Thomas A. Cox Jr. scheduled hearings this week to hear about the lawsuits challenging the new rules, including the hand-counting provision and new rules that expand access to poll watchers.
Another prominent Republican in the state, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, also promised that while Georgia law mandates certification on Nov. 12, he raised concerns about potential false claims that could arise as potential reporting delays linger.
“Everything we’ve been fighting for since 2020 has been to give the voter quicker, you know, responses, quicker results, and that’s why we’re going to post all the early votes by 8 p.m,” Raffensperger said in an interview with the Washington Post on Monday.
“Well, this now drags on for the final 30 percent until one, two, three, or four o’clock in the morning.” he said. “Really, that just becomes a breeding ground for conspiracy theories, and so we don’t support it, but the judge will make that determination. We’ll find out. We’ll follow the law.”
Georgia voters will already face changes this election cycle due to the state’s Election Integrity Act, SB 202, passed in 2021, which adds more verification for voters requesting absentee ballots, limits the amount of ballot drop box locations, and, in one of the most controversial rule changes, the law now makes it a misdemeanor to give away food or water within 150 feet of a polling place or within 25 feet of a voter in line.
Advocates of the rule change argue that those rule changes will provide more transparency to the election process and have been set in place well before November’s election so poll workers and voters have had time to understand the changes.
However, Democrats have repeatedly attempted to block provisions of the law, claiming that the strict rules on identification will disenfranchise voters and criminalize portions of the election process.
Candidates are educating their voters about the new voting landscape in Georgia, emphasizing how crucial turnout will be in the state.
Former President Bill Clinton spent time in middle Georgia on Sunday and Monday, focusing on mobilizing supporters in rural areas for Vice President Kamala Harris.
“They’ve been able to make it easier for states that agree with them to make it harder for people to vote, but not impossible, and Georgia has more experience than almost any other state in climbing those barriers and breaching them,” he said at a campaign stop in Columbus on Monday.
Former President Donald Trump will mark the start of early voting in Georgia with a series of campaign stops on Tuesday. He will first tape a Fox News town hall focused on women’s issues before delivering remarks at a rally in Atlanta.
The Harris campaign is deploying surrogates around the state on Tuesday and the vice president is expected to visit the state later this week as polling shows an extremely tight race in the Peach State — which helped secure President Joe Biden’s victory in 2020 after it narrowly flipped in favor of Democrats.
According to polling forecasts from 538, a victory in Georgia for either campaign would be pivotal to ensuring an electoral victory, which would give Trump around a 3-in-4 shot at winning the presidency and Harris about a 9-in-10 chance of becoming the next president.
That polling is reflective of how both campaigns have been prioritizing Georgia.
“If we lose Georgia, we lose the whole thing and our country goes to hell. Because we can’t have her be president of the United States. She’s grossly incompetent. We can’t let that happen,” Trump said during a rally in Atlanta in August.
Trump in recent weeks has publicly mended his relationship with Brian Kemp, the state’s popular Republican governor, after furiously lashing out at him after Kemp refused to give in to Trump’s demands in 2020 to prevent state officials from certifying the election.
Earlier this month, the two appeared together for the first time since 2020 when Trump toured the state after Hurricane Helene devastated parts of Georgia.
Harris has campaigned on the issue of abortion in Georgia, using the state’s six-week abortion ban and Trump’s role in overturning Roe vs. Wade to appeal to suburban women — a key voter bloc.
“Now we know that at least two women, and those are only the stories we know here in the state of Georgia, died, died because of a Trump abortion ban,” Harris said last month after a ProPublica report tied the deaths of two Georgia women to the state’s restrictive ban.
“This is a health care crisis, and Donald Trump is the architect. He brags about overturning Roe v. Wade in his own words, quote, ‘I did it, and I’m proud to have done it.’ He is proud, proud that women are done.”

The Supreme Court of India has ruled that the mere existence of a benchmark disability will not disqualify a candidate from being eligible for the course they applied for. This judgment provided relief to a candidate with speech and language disabilities seeking admission to a medical course.
Key Highlights of the Judgment:
- Eligibility Affirmed: The court emphasized that candidates with a benchmark disability of 40% or above are not automatically disqualified from pursuing their chosen courses.
- Detailed Judgment: The ruling was part of a detailed judgment following the court’s earlier order on September 18, which directed that a seat be kept vacant for the candidate pending a favorable report from Maulana Azad Medical College.
MUST READ: Cong’s Harish Rawat Promises Victory In Maharashtra, Jharkhand
- Disability Assessment Boards: The court instructed that Disability Assessment Boards must evaluate whether a candidate’s disability will impact their ability to pursue the course and provide reasons for any negative assessments.
- Judicial Review Process: Decisions made by the Disability Assessment Boards that are unfavorable to candidates can be challenged through judicial review, pending the establishment of an appellate body.
- Inclusivity and Equity: The court underscored the importance of treating candidates with disabilities equitably, aligning with the objectives of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPwD) Act, which aims to ensure full participation and inclusion in society.
- Inspirational Examples: The judgment referenced accomplished individuals with disabilities, illustrating the potential for success despite challenges.
- Future Regulations: The court called for the formulation of appropriate regulations by the National Medical Commission (NMC) concerning the assessment of candidates with disabilities.
The Supreme Court’s ruling aims to promote inclusivity and protect the rights of candidates with disabilities in higher education, ensuring they have equal opportunities to pursue their aspirations.

Tom Brady Is Reportedly Joining a New NFL Team — as an Owner Brady is reportedly purchasing a 10% stake in the Raiders.
By Erin Davis
Key Takeaways
- Tom Brady will reportedly be a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders.
- Brady already owns a part stake in the Las Vegas Aces, two-time WNBA champions.
Tom Brady is headed back to the National Football League (NFL) — as a minority owner.
NFL team owners are reportedly set to approve a deal Tuesday that would allow Brady to be a part owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, per CNBC.
Brady spent 23 seasons in the NFL, including two decades with the New England Patriots. The Washington Post reported that he first tried to bid on the Raiders in October 2023, but the deal has been tied up in the NFL finance committee. Owners were reportedly concerned that the former QB was getting too big of a price discount.

However, CNBC's sources said owners are expected to approve the deal today at the league meeting in Atlanta, with Brady purchasing a 10% stake in the Raiders with Brady's business partner, Tom Wagner, Knighthead Capital founder. The deal needs 24 of 32 team owners' approval to go through.
The Raiders are the NFL's fifth-most valuable franchise, worth $7.8 billion. In 2023, the team earned $780 million in revenue, the third highest in the league, according to CNBC.

Brady joined Fox Sports in 2022 and signed a 10-year, $375 million deal. In August, the NFL announced several broadcasting restrictions that would take effect should the deal go through, including limited access to team facilities, meetings, players, and coaches. He'd also be banned from criticizing any other teams.
The Raiders are owned by Mark Davis, who also owns the WNBA's Las Vegas Aces. Brady is currently a minority owner of the Aces.

Georgia judge rules certification of election results by county officials is ‘mandatory’
(NEW YORK) With just weeks to go until the presidential election, a Georgia judge has ruled that certification of election results by county officials in the state is “mandatory” — a new ruling that is likely to be heralded by election experts amid rising fears that rogue election officials could seek to delay or decline to certify results after Election Day due to allegations of fraud or error.
“Election superintendents in Georgia have a mandatory fixed obligation to certify election results,” the order states.
Judge Robert McBurney, as part of an ongoing election case, found that the law is clear: “the superintendent must certify and must do so by a certain time.”
“There are no exceptions,” he wrote in the Monday night ruling.
The ruling comes after Georgia’s controversial State Election Board recently passed new rules that some voting rights activists are concerned would cause chaos in the certification process. One of those new rules allows election officials to conduct a “reasonable inquiry” prior to certification.
Specifically, McBurney’s ruling Monday noted that certification by the county superintendents must occur, even in the case where there are concerns about fraud or error.
“While the superintendent must investigate concerns about miscounts and must report those concerns to a prosecutor if they persist after she investigates, the existence of those concerns, those doubts, and those worries is not cause to delay or decline certification,” McBurney wrote. “That is simply not an option for this particular ministerial function in the superintendent’s broader portfolio of functions.”
Broadly, McBurney noted that the election officials must still certify the results, but report concerns to authorities:
“And if in the course of her canvassing, counting, and investigating, a superintendent should discover what appears to her to be fraud or systemic error, she still must count all votes — despite the perceived fraud — and report her concerns about fraud or error to the appropriate district attorney,” the judge wrote.
(WASHINGTON) — Though Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced last month he was suspending his struggling independent campaign and endorsing former President Donald Trump, voters in many states are still likely to see him on their ballot this fall.
Announcing his decision in Phoenix, Arizona, Kennedy said that he would remove himself from the ballot in battleground states where he could act as a “spoiler” for Trump, but he encouraged voters in solidly Democratic or Republican states to vote for him.
Kennedy did not name the states from which he would withdraw, but ABC News has confirmed that he has successfully removed himself from several battleground state ballots.
However, in a hiccup for the campaign — and for Trump — Kennedy was unable to remove his name from the ballot in at least three states expected to be competitive: Michigan, Wisconsin and North Carolina.
Here’s a look at where Kennedy has been taken off from the ballot — and where he’ll still be on them.
Where has Kennedy been removed from the ballot?
As of Wednesday, ABC News had confirmed that Kennedy has successfully withdrawn his name from the ballot in at least 10 states: Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Maine, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and South Carolina.
Many of those states are considered presidential battlegrounds, or at least contain some competitive congressional districts — such as Maine’s 2nd District, which Trump won in 2020, but is currently a seat held by Democratic Rep. Jared Golden.
Kennedy has moved quickly to scratch his name from ballots: in Arizona, his team scrambled to file withdrawal paperwork the night before he suspended his campaign. They were working to beat a crucial deadline: the Arizona secretary of state’s office was set to print ballots, which included Kennedy’s name, just hours later.
Then, in the hours after his announcement, Kennedy’s campaign successfully withdrew his name from the ballot in Texas, Pennsylvania and Ohio, ABC News confirmed.
In the days since, officials in several other states have told ABC News that Kennedy has successfully removed his name from the ballot.
In Georgia, a key battleground, the secretary of state’s office received two letters from lawyers for Kennedy asking to remove him from the ballot, according to a spokesperson.
But the office never considered Kennedy to be “on the ballot” in the first place — as an administrative judge ruled that the independent candidate did not meet the qualifications.
A spokesman for the office told ABC News, “He won’t be on the ballot.”
Officials in Nevada confirmed to ABC News last week that Kennedy is now off the ballot in the state — in that case, because of a court order received by the office.
The Nevada Independent reported that the court order is due to an agreement between Kennedy’s lawyers and the Nevada Democratic Party, which had challenged his petition to get on the ballot in Nevada, to drop the lawsuit and to mutually agree that Kennedy should not be on the ballot.
In New Hampshire, the office of the secretary of state confirmed to ABC News that Kennedy’s campaign submitted signatures to get him on the ballot the morning he suspended his campaign. But days later, a spokesperson for the office told ABC News that the Kennedy campaign “withdrew the nomination petitions required to be a certified candidate on the general election ballot.”
Where is Kennedy still on the ballot?
As of Wednesday, ABC News had confirmed that Kennedy will likely be on the ballot in about 30 states, although this could shift with any further successful withdrawals, legal challenges or decisions by elections offices ahead of state ballot certifications.
That number includes battleground states whose ballots Kennedy tried in recent days to withdraw from, such as Wisconsin, Michigan and North Carolina.
The Wisconsin Elections Commission voted 5-1 on Tuesday to certify Kennedy and some other independent candidates for the ballot. The board debated over whether to remove him given his withdrawal from the race, with commissioner Ann S. Jacobs, a Democratic Party appointee on the board, arguing that Kennedy could not withdraw due to state statutes.
“It literally says, ‘if you filed nomination papers you cannot withdraw unless you’re dead.’ I mean, all of this is just vibing to try to ignore a statute. And this statute’s clear — like this isn’t even equivocal,” Jacobs said during a meeting of the commission.
A lawyer for Kennedy had submitted a letter to the Wisconsin Elections Commission requesting to withdraw him from the state’s ballot. But a spokesperson for the commission told ABC News recently that if a candidate files to get on the ballot in Wisconsin, “there is no mechanism to ‘take back’ the filing.”
ABC News has reached out to the Kennedy campaign to see if he plans to appeal the decision.
In Michigan, a judge ruled against Kennedy, who had sued Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson for ordering his name to remain on the ballot.
Nominees of minor political parties may not remove themselves from the ballot, a representative for Benson’s office told ABC News.
The Natural Law Party, a two-member political party with ballot access in Michigan, nominated Kennedy to lead its ticket in April.
And in North Carolina, election officials voted to keep Kennedy’s name on the ballot since nearly two million ballots had already been printed across the state.
Reprinting them would be costly and leave most counties without ballots until at least mid-September (under state law, absentee ballots must go out by Sept. 6 to voters who have requested them).
On Friday, Kennedy sued the North Carolina Board of Elections to get his name removed from the ballot.
In an oddity, there are also some states where Kennedy’s campaign filed to get on the ballot even after he announced suspending his campaign.
Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams wrote on X on Monday afternoon that Kennedy filed to run in Kentucky (a state that his campaign had not discussed much or at all previously) that afternoon.
“Having just completed review of his submission of signatures, we are placing him on the ballot,” Adams wrote. The Kentucky secretary of state’s website also shows his filing.
And in Oregon, Kennedy achieved a spot on the ballot three days after announcing his suspension through the We the People Party and “at this time” will be on the ballot in the state, a spokesman for the Oregon secretary of state’s office said. The Oregon secretary of state’s website also has an entry for his filing.
(WASHINGTON) — While polling sites around the country are gearing up for huge voter turnout on Election Day, data and experts predict that a majority of the votes that will decide this year’s key races will be cast months before.
In fact, many of those votes could be cast in the next few weeks.
Analysts who have been studying early-voting trends say mail-in balloting and voting done at early opening polling sites will not only be a crucial indicator for this year’s races, but also future voting methods adopted by the country.
Early in-person voting options are available for almost all registered voters in 47 states with some allowing voters to cast their ballot as early as September, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, which tracks election laws across the country.
Michael McDonald, a professor of political science at the University of Florida who helps run the school’s election lab, told ABC News that early voting exploded during the 2020 election and its effectiveness has reshaped the way the electorate and campaigns navigate the election.
“People find it easier to navigate and return the ballot at their convenience and it gives them more chances. They’re more likely to cast a ballot with those options,” he said.
How and where voters can cast a ballot early
In addition to offering voters a chance to cast their ballot through the mail, many states offer voters two ways of casting a ballot in person: either dropping off their absentee ballot at an election office or site, known as in-person absentee voting; or at a polling machine polling place that is open prior to Election Day.
As of 2024, 22 states offer all voters who vote via absentee the option to turn in their ballot in person early, according to NCSL data.
Alabama and New Hampshire offer no in-person early voting options — something the state’s election officials have not opted to do. Mississippi only offers in-person absentee to voters who meet specific criteria such as a physical disability, or proof that they will not be in the state on Election Day, such as military members.
Twenty-seven states and the District of Columbia give voters both in-person absentee and early in-person poll site options, NCSL data shows.
Eight states — California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Vermont and Hawaii — and D.C. have adopted all-mail ballots and allow voters to cast their ballots in person before Election Day. With this process, states mail ballots to all registered voters and they can send it back, drop it off in-person absentee or ballot box, or simply choose to vote in a polling site either early or on Election Day.
Some election offices will offer voters a chance to submit their paper ballots in person as early as mid-September.
In Pennsylvania, some voters may be able to cast absentee ballots in person at their county’s executive office starting Sept. 16, which is the date for when counties must begin processing applications for mail-in or absentee ballots. The Pennsylvania Department of State told ABC News, however, that counties might not necessarily have the ballots ready by that date.
Rise in popularity
Charles Stewart, the director of Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s election data science lab, told ABC News that voting data has shown a gradual increase in votes cast before Election Day over nearly three decades.
In fact, during the 2020 election, more than 69% of votes cast in the election were done through either mail-in ballots or early in-person voting, according to election data. By comparison, only 40% voted early in the 2016 election and 33% in the 2012 election, the data showed.
The data did not indicate how many mail ballots were turned in person.
Stewart noted that the pandemic was a factor behind the 2020 surge in early voting, and even though there was a decrease in early voting numbers during the 2022 midterms, there was still a jump in the number of people who cast their ballots either through the mail or at an early-voting site compared to previous midterms.
“If you extend the trend line and extend it to 2022, there is only a little bit more voting by mail,” he said. “That tells me that voters have, on aggregate, returned to patterns we saw before 2020, which is that of a slowly growing reliance on convenience voting methods.”
The extra convenience isn’t the only incentive that is moving more voters to early voting, particularly mail-in ballots, according to Stewart.
Stewart said that several studies that have been published about voting behaviors have shown that voters who cast their ballot through the mail are thinking about their choices “more deeply and thoroughly.”
“I heard it from a voter the other day who said they appreciate being able to lay the ballot on the table and do the research on the issues and the candidates,” he said.
The enthusiasm has also had ripple effects, according to research conducted by McDonald.
McDonald said that data has shown that the states that opted to give all registered voters their ballot in the mail, such as Colorado, Washington and Oregon, saw the highest turnout rates in the country in 2020.
“In the early states that opted [into] mail balloting, places like Oregon and Washington, they’ve done satisfaction surveys and voters there love it, both Democrats and Republicans,” he said.
A boon for voters, election offices and campaigns
Election experts said that 2020’s jump in early voting helped to decrease long lines on Election Day at a time when the pandemic required smaller indoor crowds and social distancing.
Even though the need to decrease crowds has lessened, McDonald stressed there is still a need for “safety valves” when it comes to Election Day lines.
“It means if someone has a problem … and they try to catch their problem earlier, they have more time to rectify that problem,” he said, citing examples such as an error on their form or improper voter ID.
McDonald also cited the sudden snowstorm that hit northern Arizona in November 2022 as a major obstacle that voters and election offices faced when it came to Election Day voting.
“These are the things that can happen and campaigns kind of know they shouldn’t rely too much on Election Day because there could be things that go wrong,” he said.
Christopher Mann, the research director for the non-profit group, The Center for Election Innovation & Research, told ABC News that early voting also gives election office teams, many of whom are understaffed and underfunded, extra time to handle the large number of ballots that come through during presidential cycles.
“They can move more people around during those early weeks, especially on the weekends,” he said.
At the same time, early voting has reshaped how campaigns are conducted.
Former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden pushed for their debates to take place prior to October because of early voting. Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are scheduled to debate on Sept. 10 on ABC News.
Aside from the campaign trail, McDonald said that early voting also affects the campaign staffers on the ground who receive voter information from election offices.
“Then the campaigns can say, ‘OK this voter already voted, I don’t need to call them or mail them something. I can scratch them off the list,” he said.
Trump’s false claims on early voting shift dynamics
In both the 2020 election and in this year’s contest, Trump has been vocal about his distrust in early voting, falsely claiming it is not secure and pushed for only voting on Election Day.
Despite appearing in a video at the Republican National Convention encouraging Republicans to vote by mail or early if available, Trump has been criticizing early voting at his events.
“We should have one-day voting. We should have paper ballots, we should have voter ID, and we should have proof of citizenship,” he told reporters at a news conference last month.
McDonald said Trump’s rhetoric led to a major shift in the 2020 election as the number of Republicans who voted by mail dropped compared to Democrats. Prior to 2020, more Republicans cast their vote in the mail, according to McDonald.
“We can see that those patterns really haven’t restored themselves [to] pre-pandemic,” he said.
The election experts stressed that there is no evidence of fraud when it comes to mail-in ballots and, in fact, showed there is no correlation between the number of early votes cast and the outcome of the election.
“If you look at states where half of the ballots were issued before Election Day, Trump won half of that vote,” Mann said.
The experts say the election data is showing an upward trend of more voters opting to vote early versus on Election Day, with mail-in voting seeing the biggest increases, and they predict more states will expand those early voting offerings.
Stewart noted that the momentum is still there as several states failed to pass measures in the last four years that would have restricted early-voting options, specifically ending pandemic-era rules that allowed for no-excuse absentee.
Ultimately, Stewart contended that giving voters as many options to safely and properly cast their ballot leads not only to more convenience, but a stronger electorate.
“I would encourage voters to think about their own lives, their own habits, their own values and choose their mode that is keeping with all of those things,” he said.
(WASHINGTON) — With fighting between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah intensifying throughout the weekend, White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby said the U.S. is doing “everything we can to try to prevent this from becoming an all-out war there with Hezbollah across that Lebanese border.”
“We have been involved in extensive and quite assertive diplomacy,” Kirby told ABC’s “This Week” anchor George Stephanopoulos on Sunday.
Asked if escalation in the region is inevitable, Kirby replied that there are “better ways” to return Israeli citizens back to their homes to avoid a heightened conflict. On cease-fire negotiations, he told Stephanopoulos that “We are not achieving any progress here in the last week to two weeks.”
Kirby also reiterated that the U.S. was “not involved” in Israel’s covert pager and walkie-talkie attacks against Hezbollah in Lebanon last week.

Chef Erin Oechsle to compete in World Food Championships’ seafood category
Chef Erin Oechsle is preparing to compete in the World Food Championships on Saturday, November 9, in the seafood category, with a theme focused on fusion cuisine. This will be her first time competing in the event since 2019, when it was held in Dallas. “We’re super pumped,” Oechsle said, expressing her excitement about the competition now being hosted locally.
Though the dish she is currently making, a Thai green curry risotto, is not what she will be competing with, it showcases her approach to creating unique fusion dishes. “I went with green onions because the Holy Trinity for Asian cuisine is ginger, garlic, and green onions,” she explained while describing the risotto. She also added coconut milk for a twist, saying, “Coconut milk brings a nice finish, and I think it will balance out well with the Parmesan.”
Oechsle emphasized the importance of thinking through each element in a competition dish, from flavor balance to judge preferences. “You want to think different, but not too different,” she said. “If it’s too spicy and the judge can’t handle it, that could cost you.”
In addition to the risotto, Oechsle demonstrated how to sear scallops. She explained the challenge of working with frozen scallops in Indiana but still achieved a result she was satisfied with. “Go for the larger ones. They cook better and don’t get rubbery.”
The chef finished the dish by garnishing it with “sexy scallions” and a homemade chili crunch oil, ensuring each bite would encapsulate the fusion flavors. “You really want to make sure you’ve got all the elements—crunchy, salty, sweet,” Oechsle concluded.

Together, they'll advance their shared interest in providing the best imaging patient experience and access to care possible for the entire population they serve.

Medmo seamlessly facilitates imaging orders from start to finish to create better outcomes for all parties.
“Medmo was easy to implement right into our existing workflow, and we saw immediate results on day one,” said Zack Fox, COO of Redefine Management.“This increased efficiency has positively impacted our practices and has improved the patient experience and outcomes, which is our number one priority. Medmo is fundamentally changing the way imaging orders are facilitated, and ultimately simplifying an element of care that was previously very complex and challenging for patients who are in pain and in need of convenience and ease.”
“As a result of this partnership, all providers associated with Redefine Management gain immediate access to 15,000+ imaging centers across the country, as well as the ability to easily track and manage imaging orders in real-time,” said Lucas Takahashi, co-founder and CEO of Medmo.
Redefine is dramatically reducing the time spent on imaging coordination by offloading patient engagement, scheduling, insurance verification, and the retrieval of results to Medmo's Care Technology. This has allowed Redefine's staff to spend more time on high-value, patient-facing activities.
Most importantly, this partnership will address the most common imaging challenges, such as confusion on next steps for patients and lack of appointment visibility for providers. By effectively closing the loop on each patient's care journey as quickly and efficiently as possible, Medmo will be able to drive better overall adherence, quicker turnaround times, and improved speed to diagnosis and positive outcomes for Redefine's patients.

Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers have finally reunited after a year of speculation, and now they aim to turn around the New York Jets’ struggling season.
On Tuesday, the Jets reached an agreement to acquire Adams from the Las Vegas Raiders, as confirmed by two individuals familiar with the deal who spoke to The Associated Press. The Jets are sending a conditional third-round pick in next year’s draft, which could become a second-rounder, depending on Adams passing a physical, according to one of the sources, who requested anonymity since the trade had not been officially announced by the teams.
Adams reunits with Rodgers
Adams, at 31, immediately strengthens the Jets’ inconsistent offense from the first part of the season. The three-time All-Pro receiver will join Garrett Wilson to give Rodgers two elite targets, along with receivers Mike Williams, Allen Lazard, Xavier Gipson, tight end Tyler Conklin, and running backs Breece Hall and Braelon Allen.
Adams, who had missed the Raiders’ last three games due to a hamstring injury, had reportedly informed the team of his desire to leave Las Vegas, and the Raiders were willing to meet his request.
Now, Adams is reunited with Rodgers, the quarterback with whom he spent eight successful seasons in Green Bay.
Davante Adams reunion
The reunion seemed almost inevitable, particularly after reports last year suggested that the Jets had shown interest in Adams at the NFL trade deadline. During a celebrity golf tournament over the summer, Rodgers mentioned that he “loves Davante” and “can’t wait to play with him again.” Although Rodgers later clarified, with a smile, that he was referring to golf, it fueled speculation that the Jets would eventually make a move to bring Adams on board.
The deal came less than 12 hours after the Jets’ 23-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills, a game where Rodgers threw a Hail Mary pass just before halftime but was also intercepted on the Jets’ final drive for the second week in a row. The game was marred by penalties, mistakes, and missed chances on offense, dropping the Jets to 2-4 after a three-game losing streak.
The day Davante Adams reunion lost his cool
After losing 30-29 to the Kansas City Chiefs in October 2022, Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams lost his composure and pushed a photographer to the ground while heading to the locker room in what seemed to be an unprovoked incident. The NFL indicated that Adams might face a suspension and fine, but later informed him that no disciplinary action would be taken.
According to the Kansas City Police Department, the photographer filed a police report against Adams, citing injuries that authorities confirmed were not life-threatening.

Adams apologizes
A few hours after the incident, Adams addressed the situation on social media, apologizing to the photographer and explaining that his reaction was driven by frustration over his team’s loss. He acknowledged feeling terrible immediately after the incident and expressed hope that the photographer would see his apology.
In June 2023, the legal case against Adams saw a new development. Prosecutors decided to drop the misdemeanor assault charge filed against him in October 2022. This charge stemmed from the incident where Adams had pushed the photographer after the game. The case, which had been filed in Kansas City municipal court, was officially dismissed on June 5.

Jensen Huang Hails Elon Musk and xAI for Building an AI Supercomputer at 'Superhuman' Speed xAI built its supercomputer, Colossus, from a cluster of 100,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs.
By Jyoti Mann
Key Takeaways
- Nvidia's Jensen Huang praised Elon Musk for building a supercomputer cluster in "19 days."
- Huang described the effort as a "superhuman" task, hailing Musk's understanding of engineering.
- The Nvidia CEO lauded Musk in an episode of the "BG2 Pod."
This article originally appeared on Business Insider.
Nvidia chief Jensen Huang has praised Elon Musk after his startup xAI built a supercomputer in 19 days, an effort that he said would take others years.
In an episode of the "Bg2 Pod" podcast that aired Sunday, Huang said it was a "superhuman" undertaking to build the supercomputer in Memphis in such a short timeframe.
Huang said, "As far as I know, there's only one person in the world who could do that; Elon is singular in his understanding of engineering and construction and large systems and marshaling resources; it's just unbelievable."
xAI built its supercomputer, called Colossus, from a cluster of 100,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs. In September, Musk said in an X post that it took 122 days "from start to finish" to bring the training cluster online, appearing to refer to the total project time.
The Nvidia CEO also commended xAI's engineering, software, networking, and infrastructure teams, and called them "extraordinary."
In an interview with Jordan Peterson on X in June, Musk said it took 19 days to get Colossus from hardware installation to beginning training. He added that this was "the fastest by far anyone's been able to do that."
Huang also commented on the supercluster: "Just to put it in perspective, 100,000 GPUs—that's easily the fastest supercomputer on the planet as one cluster."
He added, "A supercomputer that you would build would take normally three years to plan and then they deliver the equipment and it takes one year to get it all working."
xAI launched in 2023, and the company released the latest version of its AI chatbot, Grok-2, in August. Earlier in the year, xAI announced that it raised $6 billion in a fresh funding round.
Oracle cofounder and chairman Larry Ellison said in September that he had dinner with Musk and Huang at Nobu in Palo Alto, where the longtime friends were "begging" Huang for GPUs.
He said that they told Huang, "Please take our money….we need you to take more of our money," before he quipped, "It went OK, it worked."
Nvidia and Elon Musk didn't immediately respond to requests for comment from Business Insider, made outside normal working hours.

Pittsburgh-area UFC Gyms teaching kids self-defense for free
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- October is National Bullying Awareness Month. It's an ongoing problem across our country, and a local gym is working to combat it.
This weekend, UFC Gyms in the Pittsburgh area will try to build kids' confidence by teaching them self-defense.
Abel Ramirez tries to instill strength and self-assurance in his 6-year-old son, who recently took jiu-jitsu classes at UFC Gym.
"I always tell my kids: Stand up for yourself," Ramirez said. "It's showing them that everything doesn't have to lead to violence."
They're skills that can be important for kids to have when faced with bullying, whether verbal, physical, or online.
In honor of National Bullying Awareness Month, UFC Gyms' locations in Market Square and at the Waterfront are hosting special classes this weekend to combat the problem.
Jessica Cline is the general manager at the Market Square location.
"They're going to be learning self-defense skills, wrestling techniques, how to kind of, defend themselves when they should come into a situation where they encounter something that might harm them," Cline said.
Cline said these courses help give kids confidence.
"Being able to stand up for who you are, doing the right thing for you, and feel confident that you can be prepared to encounter a world that may not be always so kind," Cline said.
Classes are free and will take place Friday at Market Square and Saturday at the Waterfront for kids ages 6 through 18.
"Everyone should be able to feel confident in their own shoes," Cline said.
This is the message Ramirez wants to send to his son.
"We don't want to let fear just creep in," Ramirez said.
The class at Market Square on Friday runs from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. The class at the Waterfront on Saturday runs from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The leaves and temperature are falling suddenly. Baseball season is winding down. Football season has wound up. Horror movie season is finally here, and food cook-offs are abundant. It’s fall, y’all.
And it’s also chili season!
It’s the dish for all the above-mentioned events – it’s warm and hearty, can be made in one pot, it travels well and can serve a few or a crowd.
What makes chili, chili?
Well, it’s called chili because, though you may not prefer them in yours, it should have chili peppers in its base.
Chili is believed to be traced back to regions of Mexico, specifically the Indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica, who cultivated chili peppers and incorporated them in their recipes.
Chili peppers were also grown in the American Southwest. The dish we know as “chili’ used red chili peppers - like ancho or guajillo - and the spicier cayenne for its signature heat and reddish color.
Chili became popular campfire food among cowboys on the cattle trail - most of whom were Mexican - and gold-seeking miners - called forty-niners - on their way to California.
And chili was an excellent traveler from the start. Beef, fat, chili peppers, and seasoning were combined into blocks, called "chili bricks," which were stored in saddlebags. Dropping part of a chili block into a pot of boiling water turned it into a convenient, filling meal. A pot of chili.
The infrastructure for chili to become an American favorite was started by the Chili Queens in San Antonio, where they cooked and sold chili at San Antonio's Military Plaza in the 1860s. The Chili Queens were entrepreneurs who flooded the streets with pots of chili con carne – or chili with meat.
A San Antonio chili stand at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair introduced folks to the Texas-born dish, and the outdoor chili stand was created that later spread to the Midwest.
Does original chili have beans, you ask?
Well, actually no: historically, chili has no beans. Or, not necessarily.
Adding red kidney beans originated in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th century. Beans were an affordable ingredient that could stretch the dish, providing additional texture and substance.
Authentic chili recipes began at the meat market, where the best meat was bought to eventually mix with peppers, onion, garlic, and spices.
At some point, Spain weighed in and introduced some important ingredients - cumin, oregano, and tomatoes. Tomatoes were not native to the Americas but were brought over by the Spanish.
And let’s not forget the Land of Enchantment
Unlike "Texas red" chili, northern New Mexico's version uses the Hatch chili, grown in the town of Hatch, and gets the name chili verde (green chili) from this key ingredient.
Chile verde consists of chunks of pork, green chilis, onions, and tomatillos. I have a quart of it in my freezer, but not for long.
After all that, when it comes to chili, get a pot started, and have it your way. Beans, no beans, beef, pork, chicken, veggies. Add cheese, sour cream, jalapenos - there’s your chili peppers! – avocados, corn chips. Have it at home or take it on the road.
The International Chili Society, started in 1967, wants everyone to enjoy America’s great culinary creation. Their website has championship recipes like: Crazy Lady Chili; Flight Risk Chili; Tailgate Chili, Trailer Trash Chili, and, of course, Gold Miners Chili.

Poll: Should the legal marriage age in South Africa be changed?
Updated | By Poelano Malema
Do you agree with the proposed changes to the New Marriage Act, which would prohibit anyone under the age of 18 from getting married?
Currently, in South Africa, girls are allowed to get married at the age of 12 with the consent of their legal guardians, parents, or specific court officials. Boys must be older than 14 and also need the consent of their legal guardians, parents, or specific court officials.
This might soon change.
The South African government is discussing a proposed new marriage bill that could bring major changes, including raising the legal marriage age to 18. This will align with international standards. It will also protect children’s rights by criminalising child marriage.
The proposed New Marriage Bill aims to bring the following changes, according to The South African website:
Marriage Act: Established in 1961, this act governs monogamous marriages between opposite-sex couples.
Civil Union Act: Passed in 2006, it provides legal recognition for same-sex and civil partnerships, ensuring equal rights regardless of sexual orientation.
Recognition of Customary Marriages Act: Enacted in 1998, it safeguards the rights of individuals in marriages conducted under customary law.
Child Protection: A critical change includes raising the minimum legal marriage age to 18, aligning with international standards and protecting children’s rights by criminalizing child marriage.
Inclusive Recognition: By acknowledging all forms of intimate partnerships under one legislative framework, the Bill aims to ensure equal treatment and legal protections for all couples, regardless of their marital status.

For Arsenal boss Jonas Eidevall, the writing was quite literally on the wall after his team fell to a 2-1 defeat at home to Chelsea on Saturday. On Hornsey Road, just a stone's throw from the Emirates Stadium, the words 'Jonas out' were there for all to see as night fell, boldly brushed onto dark brick in white paint. It took a couple of days for that disgruntled fan's wish to come to fruition but, on Tuesday, the Gunners announced that Eidevall's three-year stint as head coach had come to an end.
North London's new graffiti artist wasn't the only fan that wanted this outcome. Many have become frustrated in recent seasons as the most successful club in the history of English women's football has consistently fallen short in the Women's Super League, all-but-mathematically out of contention for the title when the run-in began last season, and the year before.
At times, critics of Eidevall have at least temporarily been swatted away by other achievements, such as back-to-back League Cup triumphs and a run to the Champions League semi-finals, but it was always going to be difficult for him to come back from the negativity brought on by Arsenal's start to the 2024-25 season.
It all began so well for the Swede, with a memorable 3-2 win over Chelsea at the Emirates and a title charge that fell just short on the final day. Where did it go wrong to lead to his time at the club ending in his resignation just four games into the new WSL season?

90 DAY FIANCÉ Meitalia’s dad’s banana chip business story
From what 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way viewers see of Meitalia’s dad’s banana chip business, it seems quite humble. However, the business — and Meitalia’s dad — have quite an amazing story!
Meitalia’s Dad’s Banana Chip Business Story
Ratiman Sutisno Miharjo was born in Pegadingan Village on May 16, 1950. While growing up, Ratiman helped his family working on a rubber plantation. He dreamed from a very early age of owning his own business.
After finishing junior high school, Ratiman studied mechanics for a year before getting a job as a mechanic for a local plantation company. He worked that job for four years, trying to save money.
Ratiman would marry Sugirah and eventual found a better paying job working for a highway contracting company.
The contractor job was a bit stifling for Ratiman, who was longing for an occupation with a little more mobility. His next job was as a driver for a banana company owned by a wealthy businessman.
While working for the company, Ratiman started his own business with his wife. In addition to making his own banana chips, the couple also raised free-range chickens and ducks.
The chicken and duck business flourished, but eventually hit a major road block when neighbors began to complain about the smell.
Ratiman was still driving for the other banana business in 1993 when he had a very serious accident, breaking one leg and two ribs. He didn’t have a lot of money, and was forced to receive traditional treatment only in West Java for three months.
After the accident, Ratiman and Sugirah turned their focus onto their banana chip business. Through his experience working for his successful competitor, Ratiman was able to identify weaknesses in that business model.
Ratiman focused on cleaning up the process, offering varying sizes, and also offering lots of flavors. After tinkering with branding, the business began to take off. Despite the increase in business, most all of the work was handled by Ratiman and Sugirah for the first five years or so.
As of 2014, Ratiman and Sugirah’s Indolia banana chip business had 15 full-time employees and 100 part-time employees. At the time, their banana chips were being sold in over 350 shops and supermarkets.
Unfortunately, I was not able to find any more recent statistics about the business online.
If you are curious and want to try Meitalia’s dad’s banana chips for yourself, you can purchase them through Meitalia and James’ LoveTakar Designs website. They offer chocolate and cheese, but the cheese variety is on backorder. The current price is $18.
Below are a couple photos and a description from the site.
Banana Chips handmade from our family located in Sidareja, Indonesia!
These delicious Banana Chips are made using the “Pisang Awak” or “Thai Banana” which is locally sourced from the village and farmed by villagers.
The bananas are smoked, dried and fried before being seasoned and packaged. They will arrive to your door fresh and ready for your enjoyment!These Banana Chips are “Certified Halal” and also “Vegetarian Friendly”

BOEING (BA.N), opens new tab filed papers with the U.S. markets regulator on Tuesday for raising up to $25 billion through a stock and debt offering and entered into a $10 billion credit agreement amid a crippling strike and upcoming debt maturities.
The planemaker is looking to strengthen its finances that have been strained due to a slump in production of its best-selling 737 MAX jet following a door panel blowout and a strike by thousands of union workers.
It was not clear when and how much Boeing will raise via the stock offering, but analysts and investors expect the company to raise money before the year-end as debt maturities loom.
Shares of the planemaker reversed course to trade down 0.3% in premarket trading.
Boeing said in a statement it had not drawn on the new $10 billion credit facility or its existing credit revolver.
“These are two prudent steps to support the company’s access to liquidity,“ Boeing said, adding that the credit agreement provides additional short term access to liquidity as it navigates through a “challenging environment.”
“This universal shelf registration provides flexibility for the company to seek a variety of capital options as needed to support the company’s balance sheet over a three year period,“ Boeing said, referring to its filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The company had cash and cash equivalents of $10.89 billion as of June 30.
STRIKE COSTS
The strike is costing the company more than, opens new tab $1 billion per month, according to one estimate that was released before Boeing announced it will cut 17,000 jobs or 10% of its global workforce.
The planemaker was already reeling due to a regulator-imposed cap on production of its MAX jets after a mid-air cabin-panel blowout in January.
Last month, Chief Financial Officer Brian West said at a Morgan Stanley conference that the company was “constantly evaluating our capital structure and liquidity levels to ensure that we could satisfy our debt maturities over the next 18 months while keeping confidence in our credit rating as investment grade.”
Boeing has $11.5 billion of debt maturing through Feb. 1, 2026, and has committed to issuing $4.7 billion of its shares to acquire Spirit AeroSystems and assume its debt.
Reuters reported earlier this month Boeing was examining options to raise billions of dollars through a sale of stock and equity-like securities.
Boeing delivered 33 jets in September, down from 40 in August.

Harrison Ford is reflecting about what it means to be an actor.
In an interview with GQ published Monday, the actor, who is known for his iconic roles in Indiana Jones, Star Wars and more, said that being an actor is being a storyteller.
“I tell stories,” he said. “I’m part of a group of people who work together, collaborate on telling stories. I’m an assistant storyteller. That’s what I am.”
When asked about what he thinks about the recent conversations around the “death of the movie star,” which some say the idea of movie stars has changed in part because of the age of streaming and franchise films, Ford called it “rubbish.”
“I don’t think the question is whether or not there are any movie stars,” he said. “There’s wonderful actors coming up everyday.”
“Whether or not they become movie stars is really not the point,” he added. “If movies need stars, they will find them. I’ve never f****** understood being a movie star. I’m an actor.”
Ford, who is returning as Paul, a cranky therapist in the Apple TV+ series Shrinking alongside Jason Segel, said that these days, what attracts him to certain projects depends on the writing and story.
“It’s the quality of the writing,” he said. “It doesn’t matter what the genre is. It doesn’t matter whether it’s on television or in movies. It’s the writing, it’s the story, it’s the character, it’s the emotional experience for an audience or for myself. It’s people that I have some feeling that I want to work with, or it’s a quality opportunity.”
Shrinking season two will arrive with the first two episodes on Wed., Oct. 16, on Apple TV+, followed by one new episode weekly every Wednesday.

Rahul Mamkoottathil, the freshly declared UDF candidate for the Palakkad Assembly constituency, said he would begin his campaigning by visiting Puthuppally, the hometown of late Congress leader Oommen Chandy.
"If he were with us today, I would call him first, or he would have rang me to inform me about my candidature. I would like to begin by visiting Puthuppally, and the rest will be decided by the leadership," Mamkoottathil said.
The Palakkad Assembly bypoll was necessitated by the exit of MLA Shafi Parambil, who was elected as an MP from Vadakara in the recent Lok Sabha elections. Shafi had edged BJP's E Sreedharan by 3,859 votes in the 2021 Assembly elections.
Mamkoottathil thanked the Congress leadership for the opportunity. "I feel happy and proud. From the KSU unit committee at the Catholicate College to the state Youth Congress president's post and now this candidature, the party has given me so many chances," Mamkoottathil said.
The Pathanamthitta native said he was familiar with the Palakkad constituency, having worked there during Shafi's campaign. "I have connections with Palakkad since my days as general secretary of KSU. During the campaign for Shafi, I travelled throughout the constituency," he said.

Vino Mobile Bar offers seasonal cocktails for holiday gatherings
Vino Mobile Bar’s owner, Melissa Libs, joined a segment to discuss popular holiday drinks, offering a variety of seasonal cocktails perfect for gatherings. With the holiday season approaching, Libs highlighted how Vino Mobile Bar sets itself apart, saying, “We are the bar. Absolutely.”
Libs introduced a few of the drinks available on the mobile wine truck, starting with a white wine sangria made with spiced simple syrup, pear nectar, and white wine. “This is one of our new favorites,” she said, noting the balance of fall and winter flavors.
Next, she presented an apple cider mimosa, a popular choice for holiday mornings. “I do this at Thanksgiving with my family,” Libs shared, explaining the drink’s simplicity. The mimosa is made with cinnamon sugar rimmed glasses, apple cider, and bubbly, offering a light and crisp option before a heavy holiday meal.
For colder weather, Libs also highlighted a hot mulled wine, a winter staple for Vino Mobile Bar. “We mull it with some nice spices—cloves, allspice, and cinnamon,” she said, describing how the drink is perfect for outdoor holiday parties. The mulled wine is prepared by simmering red wine with spices, making it an easy option for at-home preparation as well.
Libs reminded viewers that Vino Mobile Bar can cater to any holiday event, saying, “If you don’t want to deal with the setup of alcohol, we’ve got you.

Indian shuttler PV Sindhu has advanced to the second round of the Denmark Open after her opponent, Pai Yu Po of Chinese Taipei, retired during their first-round match on Tuesday. Sindhu showcased her dominance throughout the contest, comfortably winning the first set 21-8. In the second set, she was leading 13-7 when Pai retired due to a knee injury.
In contrast, Lakshya Sen’s campaign at the Denmark Open ended in disappointment. He faced China’s Lu Guangzu in the opening round and was defeated with scores of 21-12, 19-21, and 14-21.

Sen had high expectations for a strong performance, starting the match aggressively and winning the first game 21-12. He built a 16-11 lead in the second game but allowed Lu to stage a comeback, ultimately losing that game 21-19.
In the deciding game, Sen struggled to regain control as Lu maintained his confidence, leading to a final score of 21-14. This defeat marks another early exit for Sen, following his disappointing performance at the Arctic Open, where he was eliminated in the pre-quarterfinals.
Additionally, in women’s singles, Malvika Bansod was defeated by Nguyen Thuy Linh, losing 21-13, 21-12 in the Round of 32. Bansod, who previously reached the quarterfinals of the China Open, faced another early exit after her pre-quarterfinal elimination at the Arctic Open.

Russell Wilson "in consideration" to start for Steelers in Week 7, Mike Tomlin says
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- The Pittsburgh Steelers handled the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6, earning a 32-13 victory in Sin City. Pittsburgh now turns its attention to the New York Jets, who lost to the Buffalo Bills on Monday night to close out Week 6 action.
Head coach Mike Tomlin started his press conference by praising Steelers fans for traveling to Vegas and supporting the team away from home.
"That was a special day from a support standpoint," Tomlin said.
Turning his attention to a game recap, Tomlin cited T.J. Watt's penchant for creating turnovers on defense that allowed the Steelers to capitalize on offense.
Russell Wilson "is in consideration" to start at quarterback, according to Tomlin. He will again have a chance to "knock rust off" and have first-team reps in practice this week.
Tomlin, however, stopped short of naming Fields or Wilson the permanent starter moving forward. A scenario exists where both quarterbacks could be featured on Sunday night.
"Justin (Fields) has been an asset for us. We're looking at all the people at our disposal the same way that we'd do at any position."
A decision on which quarterback earns the start will be made "closer to game time."
Injuries
Nick Herbig (hamstring) will likely remain out this week, as will center Zach Frazier (ankle). Ryan McCollum likely plays center this week in Frazier's absence, Tomlin said. He was optimistic about Alex Highsmith's availability on defense.
The opposition
Pro Bowl wideout Davante Adams has reportedly been traded to the Jets, reuniting with his former Green Bay Packers teammate, Aaron Rodgers.
"I don't imagine his acquisition changes our approach to this game. We're playing an Aaron Rodgers-led group on offense, and that means certain things. When you got a quarterback who has the resume he has and has had the success he's had, it's a challenge," Tomlin said.
Tomlin was quick to highlight running back Breece Hall and his dynamism on offense.
"He's good on the inside run, he's good on the perimeter run, he's good in the passing game out of the backfield, he's also good in the passing gamer removed as a wide receiver," Tomlin added.
On the Jets' defense, cornerbacks Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner and D.J. Reed are star players. Tomlin also heaped praise on second-year edge rusher Will McDonald.
"To be quite honest with you, my two favorite edge rushers were he and (Nick) Herbig."
"I think all competitors get excited about top-notch competition," Tomlin said when asked about going up against Aaron Rodgers. "You better respect those game-changers."
The Steelers are again in the primetime spotlight this Sunday when they welcome the New York Jets to Acrisure Stadium. Kick-off is set for 8:20 p.m.

Jinger Duggar, 30, and Jeremy Vuolo, 37, are different than other Duggars in the sense that they keep their kids and their family planning private and separate from their fans. In social media posts their two daughters are often shown from the back or with emojis covering their faces.

As for family planning, the couple has admitted to controlling when they conceive, a scandalous take from a 19 Kids and Counting star. The pair have always gone against the grain, however, moving first to Loredo, Texas and then to Los Angeles, California.
To quote Jinger on whether or not there will be more babies, she expresses hesitation, telling PEOPLE:
I mean, I felt like I was set with two, but I don’t know. Three was kind of what we had always said was a really good number,” she continues. “So three or four. I don’t know. But I think three is what I’m leaning towards right now.”

KUALA LUMPUR: Khazanah Nasional Bhd will launch the Emerging Fund Managers’ Programme (EMP) and the Regional Fund Managers’ Initiative (RMI) under the National Fund-of-Funds (NFOF).
These initiatives follow the acquisition of Malaysia Venture Capital Management (Mavcap) and Penjana Kapital Sdn Bhd (PKSB) by Khazanah in July this year.
Khazanah managing director Datuk Amirul Feisal Wan Zahir said, “With the launch of EMP, we aim to ensure the continued growth of our local VC fund managers.
“We see the RMI as another critical step in our commitment to foster a dynamic VC ecosystem in Malaysia.
“As innovation is borderless, the availability of capital, talent and technology will determine the future of Malaysia. This is why the NFOF will focus on creating local champions under the EMP while attracting international capital and partners.
“These efforts will enable the fusion of local and international expertise, perspectives and knowledge to spur a vibrant ecosystem that fuels progress and advancements,” he said.
The EMP represents a significant step under the NFOF in advancing Malaysia’s VC and innovation ecosystem. The NFOF will anchor the fundraising efforts of emerging local fund managers.
With capital commitment from the NFOF, the programme aims to signal stronger confidence in prospective fund investors to invest in fund managers who have the potential to be regionally competitive.
Thereafter, the start-up ecosystem will benefit from the crowding-in of private and other capital into these managers, boosting the presence of innovation-driven startups in Malaysia.
Scheduled to commence in November 2024, the EMP will be opened to all Malaysian GPs, focusing on VC fund managers raising their first, second, or third fund – based in Malaysia or overseas.
The RMI, on the other hand, represents the NFOF’s initiative to attract international fund managers who are committed to enriching the ecosystem.
This includes supporting the growth of Malaysian startups to become regional and global players and facilitating the redomiciling of global companies in Malaysia to expand local job capabilities, attract talent, and deepen innovation.
Amongst others, the NFOF welcomes established venture generators to unearth new entrepreneurs and support the growth of existing ones.
Established international fund managers with global mandates can expand into Malaysia and leverage their existing portfolio companies to create value and impact.
This strategic move seeks to foster collaborative partnerships with Malaysian companies to pilot initiatives resulting in technology and know-how transfer to increase business productivity and efficiency.

Aston Villa have reportedly joined the race to sign England and Lille midfielder Angel Gomes.
GiveMeSport reports that Aston Villa have joined Gomes’ former club Manchester United in the race to sign the midfielder, who recently made his England debut.
The former Manchester United midfielder is out of contract at French side Lille next summer and is reportedly not planning to renew his deal.
Lille could decide to cash in on the midfielder in the January transfer window and the potential arrival of Angel Gomes, could lead to an exit for Jacob Ramsey at Villa Park.

Kawasaki KLX 230 S: What To Expect
Highlights
- Kawasaki to launch dual-purpose motorcycle on October 17
- Powered by an air-cooled 233 cc single-cylinder mill
- Will be a direct rival to the Hero Xpulse 200 4V
The Indian arm of Kawasaki Motors is gearing up for the launch of the road-legal KLX 230 S that has been spied while testing on a few occasions. The motorcycle belongs to the dual-purpose category, meaning it can be used for off-road and on-road riding. With the launch of the KLX 230 S scheduled for October 17, here’s what to expect from the new Kawasaki.
Also Read: Road-Legal Kawasaki KLX 230 S Launch On October 17
Styling
The Kawasaki KLX 230 S packs a typical dual-purpose motorcycle design featuring a slim and tall profile, long suspension travel, large wire-spoke wheels and a long seat. Since the motorcycle will be road-legal it will be equipped with a headlamp, turn indicators, mirrors, and dual-purpose tyres. Internationally, the KLX 230 S offers a suspension travel of 198 mm at the front and 220 mm at the rear, with a seat height of 843 mm, and 239 mm ground clearance. However, for the Indian market, based on the spy images, Kawasaki seems to have adjusted these parameters to better suit Indian riders.
Powertrain
The Kawasaki KLX 230 S is powered by an air-cooled 233 cc single-cylinder engine, producing 19.73 bhp at 8,000 rpm and 20.3 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm, paired with a 5-speed gearbox. Expect similar levels of performance compared to Hero’s Xpulse 2004V but with more refinement and better acceleration figures due to lower overall weight.
Also Read: Kawasaki KLX 230 Spied On Test!
Cycle Parts
The KLX 230 S is built around a high-tensile steel, box-section perimeter frame, suspended by a 37mm telescopic fork at the front and a Uni-Trak linked monoshock at the rear. The bike rolls on 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheels fitted with dual-purpose tyres. For braking, the KLX 230 S is equipped with disc brakes at both ends, accompanied by dual-channel ABS.
Pricing and Competition
Kawasaki is expected to localise the manufacturing of the KLX 230 S allowing the brand to price the motorcycle competitively. At an expected ex-showroom price of around Rs 2 lakh, the KLX 230 S will compete against the Hero Xpulse 200 4V mainly, but also the Yezdi Adventure and the road-focused Suzuki V-Strom SX.

Gillespie Florist’s innovative Halloween arrangements and educational programs impress
Florist Sarah Gillespie recently highlighted the creative use of flowers for Halloween-themed arrangements during an interview. “We try to create some spooky things at our store to celebrate the season,” Gillespie said, showcasing one of her designs. The arrangement featured roses splattered with red paint, mimicking blood. “It’s not real blood, folks—that would be wild,” she clarified, explaining that the effect was created with paint.
Another unique element in the arrangement was blue thistle painted black to resemble spiders, a detail Gillespie uses to evoke the spooky atmosphere of fall and winter. “They look like little spiders,” she said, adding that these touches help embrace the season’s theme.
Gillespie, who was an educator for many years, also spoke about how she incorporates education into her floral business. She recently hosted a field trip for high school students from local schools, including Avon and Ben Davis, to teach them about the floral industry. “We gave them a tour and talked about how flowers come into the United States and how we grow flowers locally in Indiana,” she explained. Gillespie emphasized the diverse job opportunities within the floral industry, from growing and hybridizing flowers to the logistics of transporting them worldwide.
She also discussed the challenges the industry faces, including disruptions in logistics, such as those caused by recent hurricane Milton in Florida. “It starts to get pretty serious pretty quickly when you’ve got a bride with a wedding coming up,” Gillespie noted.
For those interested in Gillespie’s floral services, she can be reached through her website at gillespieflorists.com.

Rahul Mamkoottathil, the freshly declared UDF candidate for the Palakkad Assembly constituency, said he would begin his campaigning by visiting Puthuppally, the hometown of late Congress leader Oommen Chandy.
"If he were with us today, I would call him first, or he would have rang me to inform me about my candidature. I would like to begin by visiting Puthuppally, and the rest will be decided by the leadership," Mamkoottathil said.
The Palakkad Assembly bypoll was necessitated by the exit of MLA Shafi Parambil, who was elected as an MP from Vadakara in the recent Lok Sabha elections. Shafi had edged BJP's E Sreedharan by 3,859 votes in the 2021 Assembly elections.
Mamkoottathil thanked the Congress leadership for the opportunity. "I feel happy and proud. From the KSU unit committee at the Catholicate College to the state Youth Congress president's post and now this candidature, the party has given me so many chances," Mamkoottathil said.
The Pathanamthitta native said he was familiar with the Palakkad constituency, having worked there during Shafi's campaign. "I have connections with Palakkad since my days as general secretary of KSU. During the campaign for Shafi, I travelled throughout the constituency," he said.

How to Unlock Your Leadership Potential With Identity Play and Experimentation Incorporating identity play into your leadership development can be a game-changer. Rather than discarding what works, play is about experimenting with different aspects of your leadership identity.
By Sam Rockwell Edited by Micah Zimmerman
Key Takeaways
- Identity play helps leaders experiment with new behaviors to adapt to challenges.
- Creating safe spaces for leadership experimentation fosters innovation and growth.
- Embracing failure as learning promotes long-term leadership success and adaptability.
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.
At some point in your career, you may be in a rut, relying on outdated leadership approaches ill-suited to the emergent challenges and dynamics you encounter in your organizations and industries. In other cases, a job change may usher you into an unfamiliar organizational environment or industry, leaving you to rapidly develop the set of competencies you need for success in your new role.
These scenarios will require you to adjust to new cultural norms, decision-making processes and operational dynamics — often with little onboarding or developmental support. The failure rate for leaders attempting to rise to new challenges like these is surprisingly high — as much as 40-50% in certain industries.
If this sounds familiar to you, you are not alone. DDI's Global Leadership forecast, based on surveys of 1,827 human resource professionals and 13,695 leaders from 1,556 organizations worldwide, reports that only 12% of leaders rate themselves as being effective in five critical leadership competencies surveyed. Only 29% of respondents reported that their companies train for these critical skills. Meanwhile, SHRM's Workplace Learning and Development Trends report indicated that 55% of those surveyed believe they need additional training to perform effectively, and 75% of respondents felt that the type and amount of training they want is not what they receive.
These statistics reveal a significant gap when it comes to leaders getting the support they need to perform effectively. When these gaps persist, the impacts on their careers, staff and organizations can be immense. Fortunately, there may be a solution that does not require completely revamping your organization's learning and development, investing in a formal degree program or even getting another certificate. That solution is: Play.
I am, of course, not referring to just any kind of play but "identity play," a topic explored extensively by renowned leadership expert Herminia Ibarra, who has served on the faculties of London Business School, INSEAD, and Harvard Business School. She describes identity play as experimenting with new behaviors and approaches in an effort to discover and finetune those that suit your new environment and challenges.

Embracing identity play for leadership development
The concept of identity play offers a dynamic and flexible solution for leaders looking to grow. Unlike identity work, which involves conforming to current expectations, identity play is about experimentation—trying on new identities and exploring potential future selves without immediate commitment. By engaging in identity play, leaders can stretch their boundaries and discover innovative ways of leading.
A real-world example of a leader engaging in identity play comes from Ben Horowitz, co-founder of Andreessen Horowitz. In his book The Hard Thing About Hard Things, Horowitz explains how leaders must explore different aspects of their identity to adapt to challenges. Horowitz himself engaged in identity play by balancing two leadership identities: a strategic thinker and a process-oriented operator. This experimentation allowed him to navigate complex decisions while ensuring operational clarity by delegating tasks to a COO with complementary strengths. His ability to experiment with these identities helped him lead more effectively by understanding his limitations and adjusting accordingly.

Five steps to incorporate identity play
1. Create safe spaces for experimentation: Set up a safe space for experimentation, such as a special project, team exercise or workshop. The focus should be on trying new approaches rather than achieving immediate success. As the leader, model this by taking on new challenges yourself in these zones.
2. Experiment with new leadership roles: Identify one leadership behavior you want to experiment with. This behavior should fall outside your default leadership approach. For example, if you're typically a hands-on manager, try stepping back to allow your team more autonomy. If you usually take a reserved, analytical approach, try leading with more emotional engagement in certain scenarios. Reflect on what works and what doesn't, but allow yourself the flexibility to try again in different settings.
3. Seek out diverse role models: Rather than sticking to one leadership archetype, explore different role models from various industries and leadership styles. Borrow elements from each that resonate with you, and create your own leadership style through selective emulation. For example, study how different leaders handle crises and experiment with those approaches in your organization.
4. Reframe failure as learning: Adopt the viewpoint that failure is an opportunity to learn rather than something to avoid. Ibarra observed that leaders who adopt this kind of "learning mode" rather than focusing solely on performance tend to be more successful in the long term.
5. Reflect and adapt: Reflect on what you have learned and continue the process of identity play to unlock your leadership potential. After each identity play experiment, reflect using questions such as: What felt authentic? What felt uncomfortable and why? Over time, you'll craft a leadership style that not only feels true to who you are but also evolves to meet the needs of your organization and team.
Incorporating identity play into your leadership development can be a game-changer. It's not about discarding what works but expanding your leadership toolkit. By experimenting with different aspects of your leadership identity, you'll become more adaptable, authentic and capable of navigating the complex demands you encounter in the workplace.

German car manufacturers are confronting significant challenges in one of their most profitable markets—China. As consumers increasingly move away from traditional petrol and diesel vehicles, companies like Volkswagen, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz find themselves struggling to adapt to this rapid shift.
Caught Off Guard by the Electric Revolution
Years of complacency led many German executives to believe that their traditional business models would remain viable. However, the rise of electric vehicles (EVs) caught them off guard, revealing a critical gap in their market strategies. Currently, while German automakers hold approximately 15% of China’s overall car market, their share of the electric vehicle segment is alarmingly below 10%.
Urgent Need for a Turnaround
Market analysts emphasize the necessity for a swift turnaround; otherwise, the current downturn could escalate into a more serious crisis for these companies. Fortunately, German automakers have considerable resources at their disposal. With 40 manufacturing plants located in China—more than in their home country—their investments amount to billions of dollars, making it impractical to withdraw entirely.
Strategic Partnerships and Investments
In response to these challenges, Volkswagen is actively seeking new partnerships in China, focusing on autonomous driving technologies, infotainment systems, and enhancing user experience to better align with local consumer preferences. The company has also invested in Xpeng, a Guangzhou-based electric vehicle manufacturer, to leverage its EV expertise.
Mercedes-Benz is partnering with CATL for battery supply and Tencent Holdings for digital services, aiming to innovate and enhance its offerings in the Chinese market. Similarly, BMW is collaborating with Great Wall Motor to produce electric vehicles under its Mini brand.
Competition with Local Innovators
These strategic moves could result in German vehicles becoming less identifiably German as they integrate more local technology and partnerships. However, this also means entering direct competition with Chinese EV manufacturers, who have shown agility, constant innovation, and a deep understanding of consumer needs.
Uncertain Future Amid Regulatory Changes
The future for German carmakers in China remains uncertain. Recent directives from the Chinese government have urged local firms with foreign partnerships to prioritize technology development and market share over profitability, adding another layer of complexity for these established automakers. The pressing question remains: Can German manufacturers adapt effectively to meet these new demands?

'One Tree Hill' actress reveals how she was lured into a cult
Updated | By Tamlyn Canham
"It looks so normal... and then it just morphed" - Bethany Joy Lenz's career, life, and bank account were once controlled by a cult leader.
Bethany Joy Lenz says she was "looking for a place to belong" when she became the victim of a religious cult.
She opens up about the experience in her memoir, 'Dinner for Vampires: Life on a Cult TV Show (While also in an Actual Cult!)'.
Speaking to People magazine, the 'One Tree Hill' actress says she led a double life while filming the popular American teen drama.
She was part of a religious group whose leader controlled almost all aspects of her life, including her career and her bank account.
Bethany met the pastor at a Bible study when she moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. Her encounters with the group started out innocently. Several members of the church moved to a different part of the country to live a communal lifestyle, led by a man called 'Les'.
It was nicknamed 'The Big House'.
"It still looked normal. And then it just morphed. But by the time it started morphing, I was too far into the relationships to notice. Plus, I was so young," she says.
She managed to escape the cult a decade later, but it wasn't easy. She was married to a fellow cult member whom she had a daughter with.
"The stakes were so high. They were my only friends. I was married into this group. I had built my entire life around it. I had given up so much of my career because of it. If I admitted that I was wrong, If I admitted there's holes in this, something off. The whole concept of everything else would come crumbling down," she told PEOPLE.
MORE FROM EAST COAST RADIO
Bethany says she hopes sharing her story will help someone else facing something similar.
"I am not interested in a witch hunt. I didn't write this book to get revenge on anyone. I just wanted to tell an honest story about what happened to me."
Her memoir will be released on 22 October. The New York Times shared the book under its recommended non-fiction reading list.
"My jaw is on the floor... I’m astonished and grateful. I also want to dig a hole and crawl into it and say 'make me a blanket of dirt and let me know when it’s over!' because I never learned how to process good things happening. Artists (and many other people) learn to wait for the bad news. I learned a habit early in life— ‘don’t get your hopes up for fear you’ll be made a fool, later.’ For the first time in my life I’m really trying to embrace the vulnerability of gratitude," she wrote on Instagram.
She added: "If you’re like me, it can be painful at first to enjoy and accept good things. Let’s do it together! Good things are coming out of all the muck, after all."

(LONDON) — The Israel Defense Forces continued intense air and ground campaigns against Hezbollah in Lebanon and against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
The uptick in offensive operations came after Israel marked the anniversary of Hamas’ Oct. 7 assault, and as Israeli leaders planned their response to Iran’s latest ballistic missile attack.
US troops arrive in Israel to support THAAD deployment
Pentagon Press Secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said in a statement Tuesday that American troops are already in Israel to support the deployment of a Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery to the country.
“An advance team of U.S. military personnel and initial components” required to operate the system arrived in Israel on Monday, Ryder said.
“Over the coming days, additional U.S. military personnel and THAAD battery components will continue to arrive in Israel,” he added.
“The battery will be fully operational capable in the near future, but for operations security reasons we will not discuss timelines,” Ryder said.

Netanyahu listening to US ‘opinions’ in Iran attack planning
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday “our national interests” will be the prime consideration in Israel’s response to Iran’s Oct. 1 ballistic missile attack.
Netanyahu was responding to a Washington Post report suggesting he had assured the U.S. that Israel would target Iranian military — and not nuclear or oil infrastructure — targets in its planned retaliation for Tehran’s recent missile barrage.
“We listen to the opinions of the United States, but we will make our final decisions based on our national interests,” the prime minister’s office said in a post on X.
Iran accuses Israel, US of ‘psychological operation’
Iran’s mission to the United Nations has denied “any role in the planning, decision-making, or execution” of Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack against Israel, as Tehran braces for an expected Israeli response to its Oct. 1 ballistic missile attack.
In a statement posted to social media, the mission said Iran’s assistance to the “Resistance Front” — which includes forces like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis in Yemen — is “a matter of common knowledge and an obvious fact.”
“However, dragging Iran or Hezbollah into the Oct. 7 operation represents a fabricated conclusion and a cynical attempt to mislead public opinion — all aimed at covering up the Israeli regime’s major intelligence failure in relation to Hamas,” the mission said.
The mission accused “certain American media outlets” of having “morphed into tools for disseminating this psychological operation.”
Hezbollah began firing into Israel on Oct. 8 in support of Hamas. The group has vowed to continue its attacks until Israeli forces conclude a cease-fire in Gaza and withdraw from the devastated Palestinian territory.
Israel targeting civilian infrastructure in north Gaza, UNRWA chief says
Philippe Lazzarini, the commissioner-general of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, said Tuesday that “two long weeks” of Israeli military operations have “all but collapsed” the health system in northern Gaza.
“Hundreds of Palestinians are reported killed, among them children,” Lazzarini wrote on X. “More than 400,000 people continue to be trapped in the area.”
“We are not able to reach our teams due to telecommunications cuts,” he added. “The U.N. has not been allowed to provide any assistance, including food” since Sept. 30, he said. “The two crossing points into northern Gaza have been closed since.”
The Israel Defense Forces is pressing its operation in north Gaza around the Jabalia refugee camp, which the Palestinian Civil Defense said has been put under “complete siege.” The IDF said Tuesday it had “eliminated dozens of terrorists over the past day” there with the assistance of airstrikes.
Lazzarini said the camp is the worst affected part of northern Gaza. Around 50,000 people have fled, while basic UNRWA services have been interrupted or forced to halt, he added.
“Such attacks, the sabotage of civilian infrastructure and the deliberate denial of critical assistance continue to be used as a tactic by the Israeli authorities to force people to flee,” he said.
“Civilians are given no choice but to either leave or starve.”
“In Gaza, too many red lines have been crossed,” Lazzarini said. “What might constitute war crimes can still be prevented.”

100 US soldiers will go to Israel with THAAD deployment
On Monday, U.S. Army leaders said the deployment of a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery to Israel will include approximately 100 soldiers to operate it.
“The THAAD deployment is going to have about 100 soldiers who will go over to Israel,” Christine Wormuth, the secretary of the U.S. Army said at the Army’s annual AUSA conference.
Wormuth did not provide operational or timing details about the deployment of the THAAD system or its deployment for security and force protection reasons.
“I think we should view this THAAD deployment as for what it is, which is another visible statement of our commitment to the security of Israel as it deals with everything that’s coming at it from Hamas and Hezbollah in Lebanon,” said Wormuth.
A U.S. official told ABC News that discussions about deploying the THADD system to Israel in order to shore up its defenses against ballistic missile barrages have been underway for months.

Doctors Without Borders staffer killed in northern Gaza
A Doctors Without Borders staffer has been killed in northern Gaza, the organization announced Monday.
Nasser Hamdi Abdelatif Al Shalfouh, 31, was struck by shrapnel Tuesday and died of injuries to his legs and chest two days later, according to the organization.
He is survived by his wife and two children.
In a statement, Doctors Without Borders condemned Israeli forces for having “systematically dismantled the health system in Gaza, impeding access to life-saving care for people.”
“He was unable to receive the necessary level of care due to the hospital’s lack of capacity and an overwhelming number of patients in the facility,” the organization said of Al Shalfouh.
Al Shalfouh joined Doctors Without Borders as a driver in March 2023, but had not been able to work for them recently as operations have been impacted by the war, the group said.
He is the seventh Doctors Without Borders staffer to be killed in Gaza since the war began, the organization added.
“We are horrified by the killing of our colleague which we strongly condemn and call yet again for the respect and protection of civilians,” the NGO said. “In this tragic moment, our thoughts are with his family and all colleagues mourning his death.”
Americans in Lebanon should ‘depart now,’ embassy says
American citizens in Lebanon “are strongly encouraged to depart now,” the U.S. Embassy in Beirut said in a new alert Monday.
The embassy has been urging Americans to depart Lebanon via commercial flights in recent weeks. Monday’s warning was the starkest yet.
The embassy noted it had helped add thousands of extra seats to commercial flights to help Americans leave amid the escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
“Much of this capacity has gone unused,” Monday’s alert said. “Please understand that these additional flights will not continue indefinitely.”
“U.S. citizens who choose not to depart at this time should prepare contingency plans should the situation deteriorate further,” the embassy said.
“These alternative plans should not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation,” the notice read.
The embassy has been warning citizens not to travel to Lebanon since July.

Defense Secretary Austin discusses safety of UNIFIL forces with Israel’s Gallant
U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin spoke with Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant by phone on Sunday to express his condolences for the IDF soldiers killed in a Hezbollah drone attack and discuss the IDF’s military operations in Lebanon.
According to a readout of the call from the Pentagon, Austin, “reinforced the importance of Israel taking all necessary measures to ensure the safety and security of UNIFIL forces and Lebanese Armed Forces, and the need to pivot from military operations in Lebanon to a diplomatic pathway to provide security for civilians on both sides of the border as soon as feasible.”
The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) is a peacekeeping mission in Lebanon established by the U.N. Security Council.
The conversation comes after the IDF has repeatedly fired on the UNIFIL headquarters in southern Lebanon.
Additionally, Secretary Austin “reaffirmed the deep U.S. commitment to Israel’s security,” which he says is demonstrated by the deployment of the U.S. Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD).
According to the Department of Defense, THAAD employs interceptor missiles, using “hit-to-kill” technology, to destroy threat missiles.
During the call, Austin “again raised concern for the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza and stressed that steps must be taken soon to address it,” the Pentagon said.
At least 3 killed in IDF strike on Gaza hospital

KUALA LUMPUR: Worldwide Stainless Sdn Bhd (WSSB) has reached an agreement to acquire Bahru Stainless Sdn Bhd (BSSB) from Spain-based stainless steel leader Acerinox S.A. for US$95 million (RM408 million).
With the transaction expected to close by the end of November 2024, this acquisition marks a significant step in strengthening Malaysia’s position within the global stainless steel industry.
BSSB, Malaysia’s sole producer of cold-rolled stainless steel, ceased operations in May 2024.
Seeing the strategic importance of reviving this key asset, WSSB seized the opportunity.
Under the leadership of CEO Danny Tan Wei Beoh, the company plans to restart operations and rehire nearly 90% of BSSB’s retrenched workforce, restoring the expertise that built the plant’s solid reputation.
Following the acquisition, BSSB will continue to operate under its current name.
Emphasising the importance of this acquisition, Tan said “this acquisition is a commitment to the future of Malaysia’s stainless steel industry.
“We are dedicated to breathing new life into BSSB, tapping into its untapped potential, and reinstating Malaysia as a key player in the global supply of cold-rolled stainless steel.
“Our plan to rehire close to 90% of the previous employees reflects our belief in the workforce’s expertise and the operation’s future success,“ he said.
Backed by AmBank (M) Bhd financing 80% of the deal, WSSB is poised to restore BSSB and accelerate its global expansion.
The company’s vision is to rebuild, innovate, and supply high-quality stainless steel to local and international markets.
Acerinox CEO Bernardo Velázquez said this strategic decision safeguards the interests of its employees, customers, and the local community.
“BSSB has played an important role in our group’s history, and we are confident that under the ownership of WSSB, it will continue to thrive and contribute to the industry,“ he said.
Tan further said that this acquisition is a defining moment for Malaysia’s industrial landscape.
He said the focus is restoring BSSB’s operations and cementing Malaysia’s role as a key player in the global stainless steel industry.
“With the support of our shareholders and partners, we are committed to achieving this vision and creating lasting value for domestic and global markets,“ he said.

I-65 closure in Downtown Indianapolis starts Tuesday at 9 p.m.
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – An I-65 closure in downtown Indianapolis is set to start Tuesday at 9 p.m.
The closure starts at West Street and goes to Alabama Street this is just before the North split.
The Indiana Department of Transportation suggests taking West Street south to I-70 to go through downtown or using I-465 to get around the closure.
According to INDOT Lane closures will start at 29th Street going southbound, and all traffic will be forced off at West Street.
During this closure, crews will repair bridge joints and patch potholes on the road.
This work was originally scheduled to start on October 18th.
INDOT spokesperson Kyleigh Cramer says they moved up the start date of this work to get ahead of November weather.
The move is also due in part to an influx of expected visitors for a certain concert at Lucas Oil Stadium at the beginning of November.
“We know that Taylor Swift is coming to Indianapolis,” Cramer said. “We are trying to get out of the way of those folks that are driving to Indianapolis for that Taylor Swift concert.”
The project should take 16 days to complete. If crews stay on schedule the interstate will re-open on Halloween.

Gaming fans, I've got good news for you. The HyperX Cloud II is now available at an amazing discount. The comfortable headphones come with spatial audio and deliver a satisfying audio performance giving users an immersive experience while playing their favorite games. Plus, it has a top-notch quality detachable microphone. Meanwhile, the 120 hours of battery life is impressive for something in this price range. We tested the HyperX Cloud II, the previous model, and tagged it with an “Excellent” rating. So that means the newer, better version is available at a cheaper price.

Nest Smart Learning Thermostat 3rd Generation
$249.00 Save $81.02
"The third-generation Nest Learning Thermostat has all the smarts of its predecessors and adds some new features including a larger display, geofencing support, a furnace monitor, and a few more sensors," according to our review. It's no surprise, then, that it earned it the Editors' Choice award for smart thermostats along with an "Outstanding" rating. A few more pros to throw at you: easy installation, auto-scheduling that learns your routine and adjusts temperatures accordingly, auto-away to conserve energy when you're not home, and smooth integration with other Nest and third-party devices while also supporting Alexa, Google Home, and IFTTT for voice control and automation.

QUICK SUMMARY
IMOU has announced the launch of two brand new security cameras, the Ranger Dual and Cruiser Dual. Both cameras feature dual-lens technology and detection functionality, providing its user with enhanced protection.
Both cameras are available in 6MP and 10MP options, and are available from £59.99 at B&Q.
In a bid to set new standards for home surveillance, IMOU has impressed smart home enthusiasts with the launch of a new security cameras series. The collection includes one indoor and one outdoor camera, both of which are available in 6MP and 10MP options.
The IMOU Ranger Dual and Cruiser Dual offer an impressive range of features, including dual-lens technology, intelligent detection and seamless connectivity for enhanced protection. Both cameras are also surprisingly affordable, especially when compared to the best security cameras on the market.
The Ranger Dual (from £59.99) and Cruiser Dual (from £89.99) are available to purchase from B&Q, with other retailers expected to stock both cameras in the not too distant future.
The IMOU Ranger Dual provides homeowners with a 360-degree view of their living spaces through its dual lenses – a Fixed Lens and a Pan & Tilt Lens. The Fixed Lens offers an expansive field of view, while the Pan & Tilt Lens extends coverage with a 355° pan and 90° tilt, ensuring there are no blind spots.
The Ranger Dual's full-colour night vision delivers clear and vibrant footage in low-light conditions, and its detection features can distinguish between humans and pets. With two-way talk capabilities, the camera allows for real-time communication, and its privacy mode function prioritises its user's peace of mind.
The IMOU Cruiser Dual also combines a Fixed Lens and a Pan & Tilt Lens, offering independent monitoring from multiple angles. It's designed to perform in all weather conditions, with its IP66 weatherproof rating making it a reliable choice against the elements.
Its four-mode smart colour night vision ensures clarity even in complete darkness, and a built-in spotlight and 110dB security siren provide active deterrence against potential intruders. The camera also features a handy tracking feature, which automatically follows moving objects.
Upgrade to smarter living

Both cameras offer seamless Wi-Fi connectivity, optional cloud service for remote access or local micro-SD card storage, meaning extra subscription costs aren't necessary.
