KUALA LUMPUR: The trial of former television personality Norjuma Habib Mohamed, who is facing charges of voluntarily causing hurt and committing mischief has been set for April and May next year in three Magistrates’ Courts here.
For the charge of voluntarily causing hurt to a Nepalese security guard, Neupane Tika Ram, the hearing will be before Magistrate Illi Marisqa Khalizan on April 28 and 29 April.
Norjuma was alleged to have committed the offence at a tuition centre in Bukit Damansara, Brickfields, here on March 29, 2018.
She was also charged with committing a similar offence on Mohd Afiq Ismail, 34, at a wholesale and retail company in Menara Atlan, Jalan Ampang, Dang Wangi on Feb 21, 2017.
The hearing will be held before Magistrate Haneefa Arifin on May 13 and 14.
Both the charges were framed under Section 323 of the Penal Code which provides imprisonment for up to one year, a maximum fine of RM2,000, or both, upon conviction.
Meanwhile, Magistrate Farah Nabihah Muhamad Dan set May 5 and 6 to hear Norjuma’s case for committing mischief where she was alleged to have damaged the entrance and exit boom gate, causing an estimated loss of RM4,200, and a closed-circuit camera (CCTV) with an estimated loss of RM500, at the same condominium at 7.44 pm and 7.45 pm, respectively, on July 28, 2023.
The charge, framed under Section 427 of the Penal Code, provides a maximum prison sentence of two years or a fine, or both if convicted.
She was also charged with voluntarily causing hurt, including slapping, Solehah Rosli, 31, at Sastra U-Thant Condominium Wangsa Maju here, at 10.30 am on Oct 18, 2022.
The court set Nov 11 for the submission of documents.
The prosecution was represented by deputy public prosecutors Syafika Azwa Fikri, Amritpreet Kaur and Prosecuting Officer Inspector Shazwan Shahrun while Norjuma was represented by lawyer Faiz Kamal Jaafar.
Earlier, Syafika Azwa and Amritpreet informed the court that Norjuma’s application for all cases to be tried together was dismissed.
“The application was dismissed because the witnesses and the victims in the cases are not the same person,” said Amritpreet.

SAN FRANCISCO — A Navy parachutist was off-target and instead of landing where he should have, he landed on a mother and daughter during San Francisco’s Fleet Week.
The jump happened on Sunday at the city’s Marina Green, the designated target, SFGate reported.
But instead of hitting the spot where the sailor was supposed to land, he fell onto a group of spectators on the area’s perimeter.
The mother and daughter, who were not identified, bore the brunt of the impact but had minor injuries. They were still taken to an area hospital by ambulance, fire department officials said.
The crash was under investigation. It is not known why the jump went bad, KRON reported.
The U.S. Navy released a statement saying, “Our thoughts are with the individual and their family. Safety is our number one priority. We cannot immediately assess what happened; however, we will review this incident to determine the cause,” KRON reported.

For new and old investors, taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals. Zacks Premium provides lots of different ways to do both.
Featuring daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, the research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor.
Zacks Premium includes access to the Zacks Style Scores as well.
What are the Zacks Style Scores?
Developed alongside the Zacks Rank, the Zacks Style Scores are a group of complementary indicators that help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Each stock is given an alphabetic rating of A, B, C, D or F based on their value, growth, and momentum qualities. With this system, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on, meaning the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value Score
Value investors love finding good stocks at good prices, especially before the broader market catches on to a stock's true value. Utilizing ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and many other multiples, the Value Style Score identifies the most attractive and most discounted stocks.
Growth Score
While good value is important, growth investors are more focused on a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score takes projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow into account to uncover stocks that will see long-term, sustainable growth.
Momentum Score
Momentum traders and investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." This investing style is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Employing factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, the Momentum Style Score can indicate favorable times to build a position in high-momentum stocks.
VGM Score
If you like to use all three kinds of investing, then the VGM Score is for you. It's a combination of all Style Scores, and is an important indicator to use with the Zacks Rank. The VGM Score rates each stock on their shared weighted styles, narrowing down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank
The Zacks Rank is a proprietary stock-rating model that harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to help investors build a successful portfolio.
Investors can count on the Zacks Rank's success, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +25.41% average annual return since 1988, more than double the S&P 500's performance. But the model rates a large number of stocks, and there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
With more than 800 top-rated stocks to choose from, it can certainly feel overwhelming to pick the ones that are right for you and your investing journey.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
To have the best chance of big returns, you'll want to always consider stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B, which will give you the highest probability of success. If you're looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, it's important they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.
Since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank, the direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy.
Here's an example: a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one with Style Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings outlook, and a bigger chance its share price will decrease too.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

KUALA LUMPUR: Police have adhered to all existing provisions in their investigation into GISB Holdings Sdn Bhd (GISBH), said Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain.
He said the investigation is based on reports and information received, as well as intelligence conducted by the police, ensuring that the investigation is handled carefully to be transparent and thorough.
“As previously explained, police conduct the investigations under the laws of Malaysia, such as the Child Act, the Sexual Offences Against Children Act, the Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Anti-Smuggling of Migrants Act, the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (SOSMA), and other relevant laws,” he said when contacted by Bernama today.
He said this when asked to comment on allegations by certain parties that there was no need for children rescued from GISBH-owned charity homes during Op Global to be handed over to the Social Welfare Department.
According to Razarudin, the investigation into GISBH also involves criminal cases under the Penal Code, such as Section 506 for criminal intimidation and Section 354 for assault or use of criminal force to a person with intent to outrage modesty.
He said Op Global was conducted in collaboration with other agencies and the investigations had resulted in several prosecutions in court.
Razarudin said investigations showed there were elements of neglect and abuse of children, with several viral videos indicating that such elements existed in the charity homes.
“The police’s actions aim to rescue victims believed to have been neglected, mistreated, abused, or exploited, in addition to arresting and prosecuting the individuals responsible for these offences,” he stressed.
Earlier, media reports said 96 parents of 174 children associated with GISBH had requested the return of their children to their families, as it has been over a month since they last saw them.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also recognized the importance of butyric acid, prompting research into its health benefits and potential applications. Europe is witnessing a similar trend, with heightened consumer awareness of gut health and an emphasis on natural ingredients driving the demand for butyric acid products.

SEREMBAN: The government is always committed to facilitating micro and medium-sized entrepreneurs in obtaining halal certification from the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM).
Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Dr Zulkifli Hasan said the halal certification adds value to the entrepreneurs’ businesses and helps them enhance the quality of their products, while also strengthening the nation’s halal industry.
“We must understand the reality of these entrepreneurs. The government will help as much as possible (to obtain the halal certification). InsyaAllah, a plan is already in place and we want it expedited. We cannot announce it yet, but rest assured, there is an action plan in place.
“We believe that it is essential to continuously raise awareness and understanding of the real benefits and added value of obtaining halal certification. It is not just about cleanliness but also the overall aspects including health,“ he told reporters after officiating the Halal and Zakat Synergy Seminar, ‘Produkku Halal, Hasilku Berkat’ here, today.
He further said that the concept of halal not only refers to the preparation and management of ingredients and services, but also includes financing, which must be in accordance with the Syariah principles.
“Our halal certification is already world-renowned and recognised, but we need to take a look at the second layer, which is financing. For example, to expand a business, in terms of banking, financing should come from the Islamic financial sector to ensure that the entire process is halal,” he said.
Meanwhile, Zulkifli expressed hope that the seminar organised by the Negeri Sembilan Islamic Religious Council (MAINS), attended by over 400 entrepreneurs today, would provide additional exposure to the halal industry, at the same time allowing them to fulfill their zakat obligations and produce products that are certified as halal.
Additionally, he said the Halal Cottage initiative, established in Negeri Sembilan, is a strategic step in assisting small traders who run home-based businesses.
“The initiative not only gives them the opportunity to obtain halal certification, but also ensures that their businesses are conducted in a clean, safe, and Syariah-compliant manner,” he added.

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Patented, science-backed technology precisely measures expressions, eating habits, attention and physical activity, unlocking transformative insights into emotions and behaviors with profound impacts across a wide range of applications
BRIGHTON, United Kingdom, Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Emteq Labs , the market leader in emotion-recognition wearable technology, today announced the forthcoming introduction of Sense, the world's first emotion-sensing eyewear. Alongside the unveiling of Sense, the company is pleased to announce the appointment of Steen Strand, former head of the hardware division of Snap Inc., as its new Chief Executive Officer.
Over the past decade, Emteq Labs – led by renowned surgeon and facial musculature expert, Dr. Charles Nduka – has been at the forefront of engineering advanced technologies for sensing facial movements and emotions. This data has significant implications on health and well-being, but has never been available outside of a laboratory, healthcare facility, or other controlled setting. Now, Emteq Labs has developed Sense: a patented, AI-powered eyewear platform that provides lab-quality insights in real life and in real time. This includes comprehensive measurement and analysis of the wearer's facial expressions, dietary habits, mood, posture, attention levels, physical activity, and additional health-related metrics.
“Our faces reveal deep insights about our minds and bodies. Since founding Emteq Labs in 2015, we have been on a mission to improve lives and health outcomes through a deeper understanding of our emotional responses and behaviors,” said Dr. Charles Nduka, founder and Chief Science Officer at Emteq Labs.“Our proven, breakthrough Sense eyewear allows us to look inward, rather than outward. Wearers will peer into the future to see how subtle, nearly invisible factors can shape long-term health and wellness like never before.”
Emteq's Sense glasses are equipped with contactless OCO sensors that detect high-resolution facial activations at key muscle locations, as well as a downward-facing camera for instantly logging food consumption. Data collected is analyzed using proprietary AI/ML algorithms, and securely transferred to the Sense app and cloud platform. The user has full control over the data and can choose to share it with researchers, trainers, coaches, or clinicians upon consent.
The powerful insights that Sense uncovers have a transformative impact on weight management and mental health, as well as broader healthcare applications, consumer sentiment, augmented reality, and more.
Science-Backed Technology Proven to Address Critical Health Issues
According to the World Health Organization, more than 1 billion people in the world are living with obesity and approximately 970 million people worldwide are living with a mental health disorder. Emteq's platform helps address these critical health issues by enabling a deeper understanding of everyday behaviors, decisions, and the emotions that drive them.
A recent peer-reviewed study in the Journal of Medical Internal Research found that Sense accurately tracks food intake and eating behavior in everyday settings, overcoming the major limitations of traditional self-reporting methods such as manual food logs. This research confirms the effectiveness of Emteq's technology for precise dietary monitoring, which is essential for successful interventions to promote a healthy lifestyle.
Additionally, research published in Frontiers in Psychiatry journal demonstrated that Emteq's platform can distinguish between depressed and non-depressed people as compared with current gold standard diagnostic methods. By effectively assessing affective behaviors in remote settings – such as the home, office, or school – Sense is poised to significantly improve the diagnosis and monitoring of chronic mental health and neurological conditions including depression, anxiety, autism spectrum disorder, and more.
"Having spent my entire career at the intersection of innovation and consumer products, I can confidently assert that Emteq will transform the smart eyewear landscape and, more importantly, improve and save lives," said Steen Strand, CEO of Emteq Labs. "Health applications have catalyzed the rise of wearables, and eyewear is the next frontier. Emteq will deliver the most compelling case for smart glasses yet-proving that they can dramatically improve your health."
Prior to joining Emteq, Strand led Snap Inc.'s hardware division, SnapLab, where he was responsible for the Spectacles line of augmented reality eyewear as well as the company's hardware-related investments and acquisitions. "Emteq's technology will change how we understand ourselves and will create strong use cases that will soon drive the adoption of AR eyewear," Strand continued.
Emteq Labs' Sense development kit will be available to commercial partners tackling a wide range of applications starting in December. For more information, visit .
About Emteq Labs
Emteq Labs is a UK-based deep technology company pioneering real-time emotion recognition in virtual and augmented environments. The company's patented emotion-sensing eyewear captures facial muscle activity across diverse settings, leveraging proprietary AI/ML algorithms to provide insights on expressions, eating behaviors, attention and physical activity. With nearly a decade of research backing its innovations, Emteq Labs holds 27 patents, has published 28 peer-reviewed publications, and has earned multiple awards for its cutting-edge technology. Supported by funding from the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR i4i), Innovate UK and Horizon 2020, the company is actively conducting research validating the health applications of its technology. Emteq Labs is headquartered in Brighton, UK, with additional offices across multiple countries.

The usual suspects seem set to compete at the very top, but there are some teams who have their sights set on a top-half finish.
Fulham have perhaps been the biggest surprise at this stage. They are 7th in the table after amassing a total of 11 points. Bournemouth are also aiming to build on a positive first season. With the likes of Manchester United and West Ham wilting, there is an opportunity for each of these sides to break into the top 10.
Odds courtesy of bet9ja. Correct at time of publishing and subject to change.
Fulham Aiming to Build on Superb Start
Fulham have established themselves in the Premier League since being promoted from the Championship in the 2021/22 season. They secured a 10th-place finish in their first campaign back in the top flight and are now eager to improve on that this year.
Marco Silva’s side have netted 10 goals thus far, more than the likes of Manchester United and Newcastle. Their xG of 13.86 suggests they should have scored even more. Only the current top four and Tottenham rank higher in that regard.
The Cottagers’ defence has also been solid. Only Liverpool have a better xGA than Fulham’s 7.37. However, they have underperformed that metric by conceding an average of 1.14 goals per game in the league.
The loss against Manchester City before the international break was Fulham’s first since the opening day of the season. Marco Silva will be delighted with the way his team played, as they finished the game with a superior xG to Pep Guardiola’s side.
Fulham face a difficult test in the form of Aston Villa this weekend, but home advantage could be key. Marco Silva’s side’s last outing at Craven Cottage was an impressive 3-1 win over Newcastle and they are yet to taste defeat on home turf this season.
Iraola’s Team Can Continue to Progress
Bournemouth made the decision to sack Gary O’Neil ahead of last season. Andoni Iraola was brought in and he has certainly made an impact. The Cherries made a slow start under the Spaniard, but they turned on the style after a couple of months and wound up finishing 12th.
Iraola’s side have had some difficult fixtures at the start of this campaign. They have already faced the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and Newcastle. Bournemouth have another tough fixture when they host Arsenal this weekend, but they did manage to earn a point the last time they squared off against the Gunners.
Despite the difficult start, the Cherries’ underlying numbers are strong. They have the seventh-highest xG in the league with 13.8. They also rank in the top half of the league for xGA.
Dominic Solanke was a big loss in the summer, but Bournemouth have bolstered their attack with the signings of Evanilson, Enes Unal and Luis Sinisterra. Antoine Semenyo has also started the season well.
Andoni Iraola is also a huge asset for Bournemouth. The talented coach has made his team very difficult to play against. The Cherries tend to be aggressive without the ball and often opt to press intensely with man-to-man marking. Iraola also encourages his players to play balls in behind the opposition defence, exploiting some of the Premier League’s high defensive lines.

Kamala Harris sits with Charlamagne, Fox, maybe Rogan as race for US Presidential elections tighten
Harris has been on a media blitz in recent days, speaking with friendly hosts from comedy shows, talk shows and internet podcasts. The effort reflects increasing anxiety within Democratic circles about Harris' waning momentum in the handful of decisive election states and fears that her under-performance with men, and Black men in particular, could doom her bid for the White House.

KUALA LUMPUR: Flash floods in some areas in Kuala Lumpur this morning were caused by the movement of a squall line which brought thunderstorms and heavy rain.
According to the Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia), weather monitoring and radar image analysis indicated that a squall line formed over the Strait of Malacca early this morning and began moving into Selangor at 7 am.
“The intensity of the squall line increased and moved towards Kuala Lumpur at 8.30 am.
“Based on the rainfall distribution in the Klang Valley from 8 am to 11 am today, the highest rainfall recorded was between 9 am to 10 am,“ said MetMalaysia in a statement, here.
MetMalaysia reported that from 9 am to 10 am, the meteorological station at the Federal Forest Reserve of the Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM) in Kepong recorded 53.5 millimetres (mm) of rainfall, Klang Gate Dam recorded 51.7 mm and the Parliament of Malaysia recorded 47.3 mm.
According to MetMalaysia, a warning predicting thunderstorms and heavy rain in the Klang Valley was issued as early as 6.30 am and updated at 8.50 am for Kuala Lumpur.
“Weather warnings issued by MetMalaysia are constantly updated and disseminated through various channels such as the website, social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and X, as well as through short message service (SMS),“ said the statement.
This morning, several areas and major roads around Kuala Lumpur were flooded due to the overflow of major rivers; namely Sungai Batu, Sungai Klang, and Sungai Gombak, caused by the heavy rain.
According to Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), among the affected areas were Jalan Pantai Baharu, Jalan Parlimen (Dato’ Onn Roundabout), Jalan Kinabalu, Jalan Maharajalela, Jalan Travers, and Jalan Damansara (under the Semantan overpass).
Also affected were Jalan Ledang, Jalan Segambut, Jalan Genting Klang (in front of Shell and Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman), Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, and Jalan Sultan (Petaling Street).
In addition, a landslide in Taman Melawati, Ampang, has caused 20 terrace houses to be cut off from the main access road.

currently sitting in the relegation zone with just three points from seven matches.
This surprising position hasn’t been seen at Selhurst Park since March 2018.
Despite the rocky start, there is optimism within the club for a turnaround, especially with upcoming fixtures against Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur.
Palace’s confidence is buoyed by their strong finish last season, where they clinched six wins from their final seven games, matching their highest-ever points tally of 49 and equalling their best 10th-place finish under Oliver Glasner.
This performance also marked their highest-ever season goal tally with 57, suggesting a return to form is well within reach.
Players’ departure and a new system
Odds courtesy of Betano. Correct at time of publishing and subject to change.
The statistics clearly highlight Crystal Palace's struggles.
They hold the league's lowest tally for open-play goals—a solitary one—despite accumulating a respectable xG (expected goals) of 9.44.
Palace rank tenth in the league with 92 shots on goal, but their attack has largely relied on long-range efforts (37, the fourth-highest in the Premier League) and set pieces, the latter accounting for two out of their five goals. Defensively, aerial duels have been a significant pain point.
Losing 137 aerial contests—the most in England’s top flight—highlights a weakness against cross-heavy teams. Moreover, Palace's susceptibility to through balls has been frequently exploited, with opponents threading 18 such passes through their backline, ranking them fourth in this metric behind Brighton, West Ham, and Ipswich Town.
The departures of Michael Olise to Bayern Munich and Joachim Andersen to Fulham significantly altered the squad's dynamic. Their losses meant Glasner not only had to implement a new 3-4-3 formation, but also fill the void left by these pivotal players.
While the club acted quickly in the transfer window by bringing in Maxence Lacroix from Wolfsburg and Trevoh Chalobah on loan from Chelsea, defensive resilience takes time to forge.
However, it’s in the wing-back positions, critical in Glasner’s system, that Palace are lacking alternatives, with only Daniel Muñoz and Tyrick Mitchell capable of fulfilling these demanding roles.
This shortage became painfully obvious when Muñoz suffered an injury early against Liverpool, thrusting Nathaniel Clyne into unfamiliar territory.
Mateta’s return could be the spark
However, these statistics reveal room for improvement.
As adjustments are made and new players integrate into the system, these defensive issues could gradually resolve.
Glasner's history of taking time to apply his methods gives hope that improvement is coming.
He did not win any of his first six games in charge of Crystal Palace last season. Similarly, during his first season with Eintracht Frankfurt in the 2021-2022 campaign, the team was close to the relegation zone in November, managing to win only one league game during the early months—against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.
For the first time in 21 years, they accomplished it after 16 matches.
Between November and December, Frankfurt won six out of seven, ultimately sitting sixth at the end of the first round of matches.
Eberechi Eze shoulders the creative responsibility following Michael Olise's departure to Bayern Munich and remains a shining light.
Despite early challenges, Eze's ability to generate shots—27 attempts (3.9 per game) ranking him third in the league—is a testament to his offensive quality.
Despite underperforming his expected goals (xG) tally, the numbers suggest an upward trajectory, especially considering Jean-Philippe Mateta's expected return to full fitness following an overstretched post-Olympics season.
Positive news regarding Cheick Doucouré's return post-international break could further stabilise the side.
Glasner's openness to tactical flexibility may lead to adjustments in formations that capitalise on players’ strengths.
The option of shifting to a back four or incorporating Ismaïla Sarr's pace could introduce much-needed dynamism ahead of Monday’s game away at Nottingham Forest.
In terms of xPTS (expected points), Palace trail Forest by less than two points, presenting a good opportunity to back the team from South London.
Forest are winless in seven games at the City Ground in all competitions, and their defensive metrics—recording the fewest high turnovers and their high PPDA (passes per defensive action)—indicate a side that may struggle with pressure. Palace haven’t beaten the team from the Midlands since 1991 (six draws, four defeats), but could pose a threat with quick transitions.

Segmentation Analysis
By Facility Size
The large facility segment dominated the market and represented the largest revenue share of 78.9% in 2023. As to this segment, these are data centers with 12-49 racks or more. Such facilities require 12 to 14 kW per rack. It is significant for enterprises, which have offices in various locations and need a single data center. In other words, organizations benefit from the scalability of such facilities. Moreover, they also allow for outstanding delivery speed, which is facilitated by the arrangement of data layout. Finally, in some instances, it might allow for better use of space and cost reduction.
The small and medium facility segment is expected to grow at highest CAGR of 19.2% during the forecast period. Due to the increased use of online services, small and medium-sized enterprises are becoming more data-intensive in their digital activities. As a result, one may expect more edge data center solutions to apply. Such centers are local sites with fewer facilities needed and can be considered more cost-effective than a large unified data center. Overall, the necessity for more rapid data processing and more advanced storage solutions, in addition to such a trend as the increase in on-premises deployment, are expected to facilitate the growth of edge data facilities in the foreseeable future.

North America dominated the edge data center market in 2023, capturing 35.1% of the market share, and is expected to maintain its leadership position throughout the forecast period. This growth is primarily driven by the widespread adoption of edge data center solutions and services in the region. Additionally, North America is home to numerous prominent providers, which further solidifies its importance in the edge data center sector. The ongoing rollout and commercialization of 5G networks are likely to accelerate this growth, as these technologies require low-latency, high-bandwidth connections. By positioning data processing closer to end users, edge data centers significantly enhance the performance of applications and services.
The Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to experience the highest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.1% during the forecast period. This expansion is fueled by increasing investments in the IT sector, growth across various industries, and the presence of major edge computing companies like Huawei Technologies and Fujitsu. The region's large population and rapid urbanization are key drivers behind the rising adoption of edge data centers.

PUTRAJAYA: The Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) is stepping up monitoring of flood ‘hotspot’ areas in the affected states including the Klang Valley to ensure a quick response is mobilised in those areas.
JBPM director-general Datuk Nor Hisham Mohammad said instructions have been issued to each state fire department to ensure the readiness of machinery and personnel is at the highest level.
“We have issued instructions to all states, especially those affected by floods, namely Kedah, Perak and Perlis as well as Selangor (and Kuala Lumpur) to monitor low-lying coastal areas.
“(This) is to enable us respond quickly to incidents of flood,“ he said.
He told reporters after the handing over of the official Proton vehicle to JBPM in conjunction with the International Fire Conference and Exhibition Malaysia 2024 (IFCEM) here today.
Taking the example of the flood in the Klang Valley today, he said JBPM had mobilised personnel and machinery at certain locations for monitoring and rescue work following initial information from the Meteorological Department.
“We have mobilised the team before receiving the (flood) call but there are also locations that have escaped our radar.
“It means that we did not expect the water to rise especially in the Universiti Malaya,“ he said, adding that the flooding in the Klang Valley is under control and no evacuations have been carried out.
He hoped that the weather conditions would improve even though the country is expected to face the phenomenon of high tide starting tomorrow.
“We hope the weather will improve because the ‘king tide’ series starts tomorrow and Oct 18 will be the ‘peak’. So, we hope there will be no heavy rains that will cause flooding,“ he said.
Regarding the landslide incident in Taman Melawati, Selangor today, Nor Hisham said JBPM will hold further discussions with relevant authorities regarding the incident.
“We will sit down with the relevant technical parties including the Department of Minerals and Geology (JMG), the Department of Public Works (JKR) and local authorities to see the situation of the slope.
“We will see the situation in the stabilization stage. When they (JMG and JKR) have received the final assessment... it will be decided what the next action will be for the residents,“ he said.
The police today ordered the residents of 20 houses in Taman Melawati, Ampang in Selangor to evacuate their homes following a landslide in the nearby area, due to heavy rain this morning.
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi previously asked the public to be alert and ready to face the possibility of flooding following the North East Monsoon (MTL) expected earlier, which is the fourth week of this month.
Ahmad Zahid said MTL usually occurs in early November but this year it is expected to be earlier due to changing weather.

With eight goals as a substitute since February 2023, he leads the league in this category.
With matches in the English top flight last season averaging nearly to 101 minutes and in-play time increasing by an average of three minutes and 45 seconds, substitutes have more chances to affect the outcome of games.
It’s not surprising that Justin Kluivert's winning goal for Bournemouth against Crystal Palace in April 2024 exceeded the previous record of 132 goals scored by substitutes, which was established in the 2022/2023 season.
The introduction of five substitutions since 2020 has also transformed the strategic landscape regarding betting on goal scorers.
This weekend's fixtures provide a prime context to explore which games might be decided by super-subs.
Odds courtesy of 1xBet. Correct at time of publishing and subject to change.
Tottenham vs West Ham: A Derby Ripe for Tactical Nuance
In the Premier League, second-half performances have become increasingly pivotal, with Arsenal leading by netting nine goals after the break this season.
Closely following are Chelsea, Aston Villa, and Brighton, each with seven goals scored in the second half.
Spurs, despite their strong home record, have shown a clear vulnerability in the second half, having conceded six goals.
This contrasts notably with West Ham’s impressive second-half record on the road, where they've scored four goals without conceding. For the Hammers, Danny Ings presents a potent threat.
Twenty of Ings’ last 23 appearances for West Ham have been as a substitute, and the former Aston Villa forward has already scored the Hammers’ 95th equaliser at Craven Cottage this season.
With a conversion rate of 50% (one goal from two shots, both on target), Ings is a prime candidate to capitalise on Tottenham's defensive lapses in the closing stages of the game.
Fulham vs Aston Villa: The Duran’s effect
Aston Villa’s standout performer Jhon Duran, has made a name for himself with his incredible ability to score crucial goals after coming off the bench. His record speaks volumes: five of his six goals this season have been as a substitute, making him an invaluable asset in tight match situations.
With Fulham having shown a tendency to concede late goals (three after the 75th minute), Villa's tactical setup could be perfectly poised to unleash the Colombian striker when the game opens up.
Duran, who has a 40% conversion rate, highlights the club's late-game prowess, suggesting an increased likelihood that this game will end with Both Teams to Score and over 2.5 Goals.
Wolves vs Man City: Guardiola’s Rotational Masterpiece
Manchester City are expected to extend their Premier League unbeaten run when they visit Wolverhampton, with Pep Guardiola’s use of substitutes likely to be vital as they prepare for their return to Champions League football.
City tops the league in overall scoring, but has struggled to replicate this success after the break in away matches, scoring just twice.
Wolverhampton Wanderers, on the other hand, have struggled defensively, conceding the most second-half goals with a total of 12, seven of which came at Molineux.
Furthermore, Manchester City leads the league with five goals scored after the 75th minute, while Arsenal, Aston Villa, Newcastle, and Tottenham each follow with three late goals.
Jeremy Doku has come off the bench 13 times for City since 2023/2024 and taken six shots in the current campaign, scoring during the last matchday against Fulham after coming on for Jack Grealish.
Liverpool vs Chelsea: late goals likely
The highly anticipated clash of Liverpool and Chelsea is another game where substitute power could play a pivotal role.
Both clubs have shown competence in second-half performances, with Chelsea maintaining an unbeaten away record post-break and Liverpool boasting squad depth capable of overturning results late in games.
Chelsea has scored six times away from home in second halves, speaking to their ability to recalibrate and adapt as matches evolve.
Christopher Nkunku could be a smart pick, considering his 25% conversion rate in the Premier League, along with his recent goals in the Conference League, and for France during the international break.
Liverpool possess a wealth of attacking options, with a player like Dawin Nuñez (eight goals for The Reds as a substitute in all competitions), potentially turning the tide late in games.

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Dallas, Texas, Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Gold investment Planner, a trusted source for self-directed Gold IRA and precious metals company information, has completed an in-depth evaluation of gold IRA providers.
They have gathered over 9,290 customer testimonials and are now revealing their top gold IRA company rankings. This comes as more people turn to precious metal IRAs in response to rising inflation and increasing gold prices.
A gold IRA (gold individual retirement account) is becoming a popular option for diversifying retirement portfolios and protecting against economic downturns, something that traditional IRAs can't offer.
To help investors choose the best gold IRA companies, Gold Investment Planner evaluated them based on key factors: trustworthiness, expertise, transparent fee structures, user-friendliness, customer support quality, and most importantly, customer feedback.
Based on feedback from more than 9,290 customers and a review of fees and customer service, the top gold IRA companies are:
Augusta Precious Metals (4.97/5 from 728 reviews) Noble Gold Investments (4.89/5 from 1,322 reviews) Goldco (4.88/5 from 4,589 reviews) American Hartford Gold (4.78/5 from 2,090 reviews) Birch Gold Group (4.75/5 from 568 reviews)
“With the upcoming presidential elections and uncertainty in 2025, interest in gold IRAs has surged,” said an industry analyst at Gold Investment Planner.“As inflation concerns grow and the economy weakens, retirees are increasingly turning to precious metals to protect their retirement savings from potential financial instability.”
After a thorough evaluation, Augusta Precious Metals , Noble Gold Investments , Goldco , American Hartford Gold , and Birch Gold Group have emerged as the leading precious metals IRA providers. Despite changing market conditions and evolving investor needs, these gold investment companies continue to uphold their reputation as reliable and prominent leaders in the gold investment industry.
Augusta Precious Metals (rated 4.97/5 based on 728 reviews)
Augusta Precious Metals, rated 4.97/5 from 728 reviews, is the best gold IRA company known for its exceptional customer satisfaction and spotless track record with zero complaints. It stands out for its excellent educational resources and customer-first approach. With high marks from independent agencies and numerous positive reviews, Augusta sets the standard in the gold and silver IRA sector.
Investors appreciate Augusta for its transparent pricing and personalized service, making the process of setting up a self-directed gold IRA simple and secure. For high-net-worth individuals or investors starting with portfolios of $100,000 or more, Augusta provides premium, tailored service.

Gold IRAs allow individuals to include physical precious metals in their retirement savings. With market shifts and varying customer service, investors need reliable, up-to-date information. Gold Investment Planner recently reviewed the top precious metals companies known for trustworthiness, customer satisfaction, and expert services.
Gold Investment Planner's review process assesses key features of precious metal IRA companies to help investors make informed decisions. Here's what they consider:
Business Accreditation : They verify company recognition by authorities like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and Business Consumer Alliance (BCA). Company History : They examine how long the company has been in business and its track record. Licenses and Registrations : They confirm that the company holds required licenses and works with a trusted gold IRA custodian. Employee Qualifications : They evaluate the expertise and experience of staff advising clients. Educational Resources : They review the quality and availability of information provided to investors about precious metals IRAs. Transparent Pricing : They ensure all fees, including setup, annual, storage fees, and other charges, are clearly disclosed. Fee Comparison : Fees are compared to industry standards to assess fairness. User-Friendly Processes : They assess how easy it is for clients to set up self-directed retirement accounts, purchase, sell, or roll over precious metal assets. Customer Feedback : Gold IRA company reviews from verified customers are gathered from independent sources like forums and social media. Product Diversification : They check the availability of various investment options, such as gold coins and gold bars. Inventory : They ensure the company has a sufficient inventory to meet demand without delays. Storage Solutions : They investigate the security and insurance of off-site storage options. Buyback Policies : They review the company's buyback terms to ensure investors can sell their metals at fair prices. Customer Support : They evaluate the level of guidance provided before and after investment. Regulatory Compliance : They ensure the company complies with IRS regulations for physical metal IRAs.
This detailed evaluation ensures investors receive accurate, comprehensive information to guide their decisions in precious metals investing.
Many gold IRA companies face customer complaints. Gold Investment Planner assessed each company's track record using BBB, Trustpilot, and Consumer Affairs. Since the gold IRA industry has seen companies shut down or receive numerous complaints, they gave higher scores to those with longer, complaint-free histories.
Free transparency is important when choosing a gold IRA company. Companies that openly list the prices of gold, silver, and other precious metals and disclose fees on their websites ranked higher. Even though custodians often determine fees, companies scored better if they were upfront about these costs.
With many gold investment options, pricing can vary between companies. To create a fair comparison, Gold Investment Planner used 1-ounce the American Gold Eagle coins, a widely available option minted by the government. They compared the price offered by each company against the spot price (current market price of gold).
Companies with low or no minimum investment requirements scored higher since investors' initial contributions can vary. We also gave higher marks to companies that offer fee discounts or waivers for larger precious metals investments.
Companies offering flexibility by allowing investors to choose from several approved gold IRA custodians received higher scores, while those with only one custodian option scored lower.

PETALING JAYA: The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) has rolled out two interim strategies to protect consumers regarding the right to claim compensation, particularly for motor vehicle purchases, before a new legal framework related to the Lemon Law is finalised.
Its minister, Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali said the strategies include establishing a standard operating procedure (SOP) to process applications for consent letters from consumers, in addition to requesting banking institutions to set up a dedicated internal unit to receive and process any such applications through a collaboration with Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) and banking institutions.
“Starting from September 2, BNM has already issued a directive asking banks and other financial institutions to establish an SOP to allow consumers to apply for and obtain a consent letter.
“Following this cooperation, BNM has instructed banking institutions to implement both initiatives by December 3,” he told a press conference after a meeting with Carsome Group here today.
He said these strategies are the government’s intervention initiatives to ensure consumers have access to fair and effective solutions before Lemon Law is implemented.
He said under the current legislation, the platform for vehicle consumers to claim their rights is through the Malaysian Consumer Claims Tribunal (TTPM), where consumers can obtain solutions to issues they are facing, in line with the consumer protection principles in the country.
“From January to August this year, KPDN received 114 compensation claims for vehicles and 187 complaints involving used vehicles at TTPM were filed. Another 16 complaints have been referred to a special negotiation team as of January to September this year,“ he said.
KPDN is currently studying the implementation and enforcement of legislation related to the Lemon Law in Malaysia; a law that provides redress rights to buyers of motor vehicles and other consumer goods to obtain remedies for products that repeatedly malfunction and fail to meet the quality and performance standards.
The remedies that consumers or buyers can claim under the Lemon Law include repairs, replacement, price reduction or refunds.

Channel 4 no longer required to have lunchtime news bulletin every weekday
The industry said it is concerned some of the changes would ‘further damage the cultural diversity of the sector’.
Channel 4 is no longer required to have a lunchtime news bulletin every weekday, Ofcom has said.
The changes were announced on Tuesday as the broadcasting watchdog renewed the channel’s licence for a ten-year period starting from January 1 2025.
Ofcom said it agreed with the proposal to allow for the midday news summary to be dropped as viewership has fallen, and it “did not form a significant part of Channel 4’s news output”, being five minutes long, and the broadcaster insisted the changes would not happen immediately.
Under the new licence, Channel 4 will still need to put on one news show in the early evening each day, but can reduce the number of hours of current affairs programming from around 200 hours per year to no less than 178 hours.
Ofcom also said that the conditions of having peak TV viewing periods containing “no less than 80 hours of current affairs” and “at least 70%” of originally commissioned or produced programmes would continue.
However, Channel 4’s originally produced or commissioned programming is allowed to fall from “at least 56%” to not below 45%.
The Producers Alliance for Cinema and Television (Pact) said it was “very disappointed” that the watchdog did not go ahead with requiring Channel 4 to have “at least 35% of hours and expenditure for programmes made out of London” along with other measures.
It cited not introducing an separate quota for output from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland or lowering the date by when at least 12% of the hours of programmes made in the UK must be produced outside England.
Pact said it worries the new licence for Channel 4 would “further damage the cultural diversity of the sector leading to an overall weaker TV production sector” amid rising inflation and costs for industry.
“While we were initially disappointed that Ofcom decided against a 16% (nations) quota, we were willing to accept the 12% quota so long as separate quotas for the nations were put in place and the implementation date was brought forward to 2027,” the body also said.
“This would have provided the production sector in the nations and regions with future certainty around levels of commissioning and spend and helped to stimulate growth over the next ten-year licence period.”
John McVay, chief executive of Pact, called it “short-sighted” to “retain Channel 4’s Out of London quota at 35%”, along with its decision for outside England TV output for the broadcaster.
“Pact submitted substantial evidence to Ofcom refuting the assertions made about the sector in the nations and regions, and we’re concerned that Ofcom’s decision will only lead to a further decline of the sector,” he also said.
Cristina Nicolotti Squires, Ofcom’s group director of broadcasting and media, said: “This new licence is the best outcome for audiences and for Channel 4.
“It strikes the right balance between giving Channel 4 the flexibility to support its digital transformation, while safeguarding highly valued distinctive programming on its traditional channel for the long term.
“The new licence also substantially increases Channel 4’s requirement for production in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Ofcom will be closely monitoring its performance in this area and holding it to account.”

I ran into Alison Esposito, the very impressive Republican candidate for New York's 18th District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, at a West Point football game recently, and she kindly agreed to answer questions for our readers.
Esposito is a native of the Hudson Valley district she's running to represent. She's a graduate of the SUNY university system, CUNY's John Jay College of Criminal Justice, and the FBI National Academy, a leadership school for high-performing law enforcement executives. She followed in the footsteps of her father, past NYPD Chief Michael Esposito, and was on track to become a Big Apple top cop herself, until she answered the call to serve her home state in a different capacity.
Then-Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.) tapped Esposito to be his running mate in the 2022 election for New York Governor. Though the pair was ultimately defeated by Democrat Kathy Hochul's ticket, it was the smallest Democrat victory since the 1982 New York gubernatorial election. Esposito realized the potential for her to serve in her home district and became the 2024 Republican nominee for the seat currently held by Democrat Pat Ryan.
Esposito's website says that during the 2022 gubernatorial race,
Alison traveled to all 62 counties and heard from New Yorkers from all walks of life who were fed up with the outsized power of one-party Democrat rule in Washington, D.C., Albany, and New York City."
Now, Alison is committed to harnessing the energy of the commonsense wave, which brought New Yorkers from all walks of life and political ideologies together with the common purpose of putting the needs of their families and creating a better way of life before their political backgrounds.
Alison has witnessed fatally flawed pro-criminal policies like cashless bail, an ever-growing migrant crisis overtaking our country, a fatal fentanyl crisis, sky high inflation, and rogue District Attorneys refusing to enforce the law, contributing to our cities and states becoming less safe.
That must surely be music to most New Yorkers' ears. Esposito's campaign ad makes a clean, solid argument for why she is the common-sense, law-and-order choice:
Esposito struck me as keenly intelligent as well as shrewd. She exhibits the kind of bracing moral certainty that can be found among talented law enforcement professionals, and that only comes from having a moral core. And she clearly packs the courage and the energy to back those ideals up. New York's Hudson Valley is blessed to have such an excellent choice, so voting for Esposito isn't so much a partisan chore as a patriotic pleasure.
Here is the transcript of our conversation. (Note: very minimal edits were made for clarity.)
AT: What are you running for, Alison?
AE: I’m running for United States Congress up here in the Hudson Valley, the 18th district, which covers Orange, Ulster, and Duchess, against Pat Ryan.
AT: I've seen his commercials, and like you were saying, he is a West Point grad, and it's a very cute commercial.
AE: It’s a very cute commercial, but he stands on progressive policies that are America-last. He is a sanctuary city guy, and he, like I said, he calls weapons — even in the hands of cops — "weapons of war." He wants to strip any military surplus…
AT: How do these people get into West Point?
AE: I actually went to the southern border to see the carnage myself, and I ended up going with one of his classmates, who said he's always been leftist, progressive, woke ideology. You saw it even — we had a debate the other night, and I was standing on actual votes that he took that were against America's best interest, and he was standing on, "I'm a West Point grad, I’m a father," but he had no policy.
AT: Do you know, what it reminds me of is Tim Walz. It's the same kind of thing. It's like he's wearing this nice American man skin, but he's really this communist.
AE: Well, I thank him for his service, because it takes a lot to don that uniform.
AT: And I thank you for your law enforcement service. And I love your commercial. This is obviously a very biased interview [laughs], but that's what we do in the media.
AE: All his campaign is doing is putting lies out about me, whether it's about an attack on my service, or whether it's a lie about my stance on abortion. He has to make this about abortion because he has no policy…
AT: That's what they're all doing. It's the same in a lot of blue states, you know? And it's not even an issue there.
AE: It's not an issue in New York, either. It’s a complete lie. It's a state's rights issue now. I'm a federal candidate. I cannot and will not affect any law in New York State, which is codified well beyond the protections of Roe.
AT: Well, you know, they think you're going to do a national ban.
AE: No, I don't advocate — and I say it over and over again — I believe it's a states’ rights issue, and I don't advocate, nor will I vote for a federal national abortion ban.
And I'm very clear, you know, and of course, I mean, it's a nuanced and very difficult discussion to have. And of course, when you're talking rape, incest, life of the mother, I'm never going to tell a woman that she has to orphan two children in order to deliver a baby, or an 11-year-old rape victim that she has to destroy herself. It's ridiculous.
What I do advocate for is empowering women with financial resources, Child Tax Credit, emotional support, mental health support, so that when you're making a very difficult decision, you don't feel that it's your only option to abort.
AT: Your life is not over.
AE: Right! And I fully support contraception, IVF, adoption. You know, this is how a lot of my friends ended up experiencing the joy of parenthood.
AT: Will you tell us about your law enforcement background?
AE: I have 25 years in the NYPD. I never thought I was leaving. I served in a multitude of assignments, whether it was on a SWAT rescue team, in a gang unit, as commander of multiple detective squads, commander of multiple police precincts. I retired as the Deputy Inspector and Commanding Officer of our house in Brooklyn — the 70th police precinct — and I never wanted to leave.
But Lee Zeldin, the gubernatorial candidate, asked me to be his running mate. I was the lieutenant governor candidate with Lee.
AT: I remember him! He was awesome. That gave them a shock, that you guys got so close.
AE: Yes, we worked really hard, up and down the state, in cities, out of cities, upstate, downstate, rural, suburban, we heard the same thing: "Please help us — my grandbabies are not going to live here because my kids can't afford to live here." "Please help us — the attack on energy and the electric vehicle mandates are going to force us out of business." "Please help us — I can't afford to harvest the crop that I'm planting." "Please help us — the attack on children's education and attack on the regulations on small businesses, where we can't survive." And I made a commitment to these people all up and down the state, so I had to figure out how to serve. And it happens that in this district — I grew up in Orange County, I built my home here 20 years ago — we left it on the table. Pat Ryan eked out a victory by a point and a half. Lee Zeldin and I won this seat by three points. They won the district. He should not have won. I don't know where the miscommunication happened, but I'm coming back. I don't know what happened.
Related: Lana Del Rey May Just Be the Anti-Taylor Swift
AT: And to talk about sanctuary towns, I haven't been in most of these towns in years, but I remember seeing Haverstraw, for example, like completely taken over.
AE: Pat Ryan was the Ulster County Executive before he was a congressman. He made Ulster County a sanctuary county. He refused to cooperate with ICE and law enforcement. He defunded his own SWAT team.
While I was in the “mostly peaceful” protests, aka riots, of 2020, having Molotov cocktails and incendiary devices thrown at us — I got hit in the head with a kitchen cabinet that came off a roof — he was marching with the "defund the police" crowd, in protest, screaming at the police. What are you thinking, you know?
AT: If you are elected, will you be caucusing with the Freedom Caucus?
AE: No, I don't — I haven't really given much thought to who I will be caucusing with. I want to be a member of Congress that serves my district, my state, and my country, and does what's best for my district, my state, and my country. So I'm going to make sure that we're bringing common sense, middle-of-the-road approaches, because when we concentrate on what divides us rather than what unites us as Americans, then the ship is spinning. Only one side is paddling. And if we're gonna right the ship and go, both sides have to be working.

Paris has no shortage of top-tier art and culture institutions and yet, somehow, the Left Bank’s Rodin Museum has often been eclipsed by marquee destinations like the Louvre, the Musée d’Orsée, and the Pompidou. That’s a thing of the past as of last month, however, thanks to the museum’s unveiling after a three-year design overhaul. Here are four reasons to go:
1. Improved flow and visitor experience
Open to the public since 1919, the Hôtel Biron (the 18th-century mansion and listed historic landmark that houses the collection) was in dire need of a refresher to meet the standards of a modern museum. In fact, this renovation was the first since Auguste Rodin himself used the space as his studio until his death in 1917. Among this year’s key updates: refurbished parquet flooring and woodwork (700,000 visitors per year had taken its toll), new furniture to display the sculptures, widened entryways for easier accessibility for the disabled, a new lift, and new bathrooms.
The space’s wood-paneled reception rooms have all been repainted or wallpapered with colors by Farrow & Ball. The company created the “Biron Gray” especially for the museum to complement the works exhibited on the ground floor. On the first floor, you’ll see more of a gray-green backdrop that, according to renovation architect Dominique Brard, corresponds to the color most often found when the walls were excavated. These subtle changes in color throughout the museum help to signal the passage from one section to the other.
As for the lighting, that too was considered carefully. An LED lighting system was designed to interfere very little with the exquisite natural light that illuminates each room through large windows. Controlled by computer, the system lends great flexibility to adjust the intensity based on weather conditions and time of day. Each light has an IP address to allow for close tracking and programming—the first format of its kind in the museum world.
2. A new museography with never-before-seen works
It wouldn’t be a new Musée Rodin without a few surprises. Aside from reviving the bones of the museum, the curator used this opportunity to rethink the visit altogether. The new tour emphasizes Rodin’s work in its entirety, from original plasters and sculptures to his own private collection of antiquities. The addition of new rooms—Rodin at the Hôtel Biron and Rodin and Antiquity—offers guests a far more immersive glimpse into Rodin’s life and career than ever before. The former room was reconstructed from period photographs and evokes the sculptor’s time at the Hôtel Biron. The latter, featuring 123 restored antiques removed from storage for the first time, showcases his passion for Greek, Roman, and Egyptian sculptures, which served as inspiration for his own work. Elsewhere, you’ll find some 80 plasters and terra-cotta and 50 paintings from the early part of Rodin’s career.
3. Robust cultural programs for 2016
The programming for 2016 was designed to fulfill the museum’s goals for its temporary exhibitions: enhance knowledge of Rodin, view his work in the light of modern sculpture, and introduce visitors to contemporary sculptors. Sculpture and Photography, which will launch in the spring, will highlight the fundamental links between the two art forms, while the fall exhibition will take guests into The Gates of Hell, Rodin’s storied work. On the first Wednesday evening of every month, theatrical readings will be held in the museum garden (weather permitting).
4. Chocolatier Patrick Roger’s exquisite chocolate sculpture
If there is a modern artist who deserves to be on display alongside Rodin, it’s Patrick Roger, the chocolatier and Meilleur Ouvrier de France (Best Craftsman of France) who is best known for his artistic chocolate sculptures—such as the giant chocolate orangutans! To inaugurate the reopening of the museum, Roger crafted a large, four-meter-tall chocolate installation called La Sculpture a du Goût (Sculpture With Taste), an interpretation of Rodin’s Balzac. The sculpture will remain in the museum’s entrance hall through February 21, 2016, while chocolate iterations of Rodin’s The Thinker decorate all nine of his shop windows at least through the end of the year. If only Rodin were alive to see all that he has inspired, even the edible.

Here at Zacks, we offer our members many different opportunities to take full advantage of the stock market, as well as how to invest in ways that lead to long-term success.
The Zacks Premium service makes this easier. It features daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank; full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List; Equity Research reports; and Premium stock screens like the Earnings ESP filter. All of these can help you quickly identify what stocks to buy, what to sell, and what are today's hottest industries.
Also included in Zacks Premium is the Focus List. This is a long-term portfolio of top stocks that have all the traits to beat the market.
Breaking Down the Zacks Focus List
Building an investment portfolio from scratch can be difficult, so if you could, wouldn't you take a peek at a curated list of top stocks?
Enter the Zacks Focus List. It's a portfolio made up of 50 stocks that are set to beat the market over the next 12 months; each company selected serves as a foundation for long-term investors looking to create an individual portfolio.
Additionally, each selection is accompanied by a full Zacks Analyst Report, something that makes the Focus List even more valuable. The report explains in detail why each stock was picked and why we believe it's good for the long-term.
The portfolio's past performance only solidifies why investors should consider it as a starting point. For 2020, the Focus List gained 13.85% on an annualized basis compared to the S&P 500's return of 9.38%. Cumulatively, the portfolio has returned 2,519.23% while the S&P returned 854.95%. Returns are for the period of February 1, 1996 to March 31, 2021.
Focus List Methodology
When stocks are picked for the Focus List, it reflects our enduring reliance on the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Earnings estimates are expectations of growth and profitability, and are determined by brokerage analysts. Together with company management, these analysts examine every aspect that may affect future earnings, like interest rates, the economy, and sector and industry optimism.
Investors also need to look at what a company will earn down the road. This is why earnings estimate revisions are so important.
The stocks that receive positive changes to earnings estimates are more likely to receive even more upward changes in the future. Take this example: if an analyst raised their estimates last month, they'll probably do so again this month, and other analysts will follow.
Harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions is where the Zacks Rank comes in. The Zacks Rank, which is a unique, proprietary stock-rating model, employs earnings estimate revisions to make it easier to build a winning portfolio.
Four primary factors make up the Zacks Rank: Agreement, Magnitude, Upside, and Surprise. Each is given a raw score that's recalculated every night and compiled into the Rank, and with this data, stocks are then classified into five groups, ranging from "Strong Buy" to "Strong Sell."
The Focus List is comprised of stocks hand-picked from a long list of #1 (Strong Buy) or #2 (Buy) ranked companies, meaning that each new addition boasts a bullish earnings consensus among analysts.
Since stock prices respond to revisions, it can be very profitable to buy stocks with rising earnings estimates. By buying Focus List stocks, then, you're likely getting into companies whose future earnings estimates will be raised, potentially leading to price momentum.
Focus List Spotlight: Broadridge Financial Solutions (BR)
Based in Lake Success, NY, Broadridge is a global financial technology company that offers investor communications and technology-driven solutions to banks, broker-dealers, asset managers and corporate issuers. The company is a leading producer and distributor of a variety of documents, widely used in the financial industry including proxies, annual reports, prospectuses and trade confirmations.
BR, a #2 (Buy) stock, was added to the Focus List on August 29, 2017 at $76.91 per share. Since then, shares have increased 188.01% to $221.51.
For fiscal 2025, one analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.08 to $8.51. BR boasts an average earnings surprise of 5.3%.
Earnings for BR are forecasted to see growth of 10.1% for the current fiscal year as well.

The Blues have picked up 14 points from their last six Premier League outings, after losing their opener against Manchester City. Maintaining that pace is now a challenge for Chelsea as they aim to qualify for the Champions League this season.
Chelsea’s impressive 4-2 win over Brighton at the end of last month made everyone, including the bookmakers, stand up and take notice. However, we assess whether or not now is the time to back against Maresca’s side as they gear up to face Liverpool.
Chelsea Face a Tricky Run of Fixtures
Odds courtesy of Bet9ja. Correct at time of publishing and subject to change.
Chelsea have undoubtedly improved on last season. They have netted an average of 2.29 goals per game, with only Manchester City scoring more in the top tier of English football; however, their poor defence has contributed to their struggles.
Six of the Blues’ goals came against Wolves, who have conceded the most goals in the Premier League, with an average of three per game. Chelsea were also able to take advantage of a West Ham defence that was all at sea last month.
The Hammers’ high line was extremely vulnerable when the team lost possession and Maresca’s team were able to pounce. A week later, Brighton’s defence capitulated as they conceded four first-half goals against the Blues. The opening goal of the game was a gift from Adam Webster, and soon after, Carlos Baleba gave away a penalty.
In their last outing, Chelsea faced a far more resilient Nottingham Forest side at Stamford Bridge. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side had conceded just six goals coming into that clash. Forest went on to secure a 1-1 draw. Only Arsenal and Liverpool have better defensive records at this stage.
Chelsea faces some challenging matches in the weeks ahead. They face both Liverpool and Arsenal, the league’s sturdiest defences, in their next four league games.
The other two matches are against Newcastle and Manchester United. The Blues also have to navigate two Europa Conference League matches, as well as an EFL Cup clash with Eddie Howe’s side during that period.
The Blues Face Firm Liverpool Defence
Liverpool have the best defence in the Premier League this season. They have conceded just two goals across their seven matches, meaning their opponents have scored an average of just 0.29 goals per game. The league leaders will be hoping to keep it tight once again as they look to shut out this Chelsea attack.
Arne Slot has won nine of his first 10 matches in charge of the Reds. Their underlying data in the league also paints a promising picture.
Their xGA of 5.72 is the lowest in the division. Chance creation also hasn’t been a problem. Liverpool have scored an average of 1.86 goals per game and have the third-highest xG in the Premier League.
The Reds have a hugely impressive record in front of their own fans. They have lost three Premier League home games since the start of the 2021/22 campaign, and have conceded an average of just 0.79 goals per game in the process.
Chelsea have won just one of their last nine Premier League matches at Anfield.

PETALING JAYA: The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) will collaborate and hold discussions with relevant ministries and agencies regarding the issue of vegetable prices, which are expected to triple by the end of this year.
Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali said that his ministry was aware of the issue and would take intervention measures if necessary.
“It’s still premature for me to comment, but we are monitoring any price increases, price fluctuations, or related matters, including food supply.
“We are also working closely with the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security. If necessary, we will take intervention measures,” he said at a press conference after a meeting with Carsome Group here today.
He was responding to a statement by the chairman of the Cameron Highlands Malay Farmers Association, Datuk Syed Abd Rahman Syed Abd Rashid, who said that most vegetable prices at the farm level had risen by 20 to 50 per cent in early October.
Syed Abd Rahman said vegetable prices were expected to increase following the Northeast Monsoon (MTL) phase, which could bring heavy rain and flooding to several areas across the country.

We're a third of the way through the NFL season, so it's a good time to examine updated odds for all 32 teams to make the NFL Playoffs.
The Cowboys and Jets find themselves in precarious positions, as their odds to make the playoffs suggest.
This week's Super Bowl rematch between the Chiefs and 49ers highlights the NFL Week 7 slate. Last week, favorites went 12-2 SU and 10-3-1 ATS. Amazingly, home underdogs were 0-9 both SU and ATS.
Here's a look at updated odds on teams to make the playoffs at top NFL betting sites.

Jets, Cowboys priced as underdogs in odds to make NFL Playoffs
The Jets and Cowboys are in the headlines but for largely wrong reasons. Both teams are coming off loses in Week 6 -- Dallas in embarrassing fashion at home to the Lions on Sunday.
On Tuesday, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones got into a tiff with the radio hosts during his weekly appearance on The Fan in Dallas.
The Jets also lost this week, 23-20 at home to the Bills on Monday night, but news broke Tuesday morning that they've acquired star wide receiver Davante Adams from the Raiders.
According to the betting odds, the Cowboys and Jets are both underdogs to make the playoffs:
Odds on top contenders to make the NFL Playoffs at Caesars Sportsbook
Let's take a look at top contenders to make the NFL Playoffs with odds via Caesars Sportsbook.
Kansas City Chiefs
Kansas City is the AFC's only unbeaten team at 5-0. The Chiefs are coming off a bye week to face the 49ers in that Super Bowl rematch on Sunday. They remain without lead RB Isiah Pacheco (broken leg) and top WR Rashee Rice (knee).
It's scary for the rest of the NFL that KC has yet to play its best football and still remains undefeated. That could change with the 49ers a 1-point favorite at home this weekend.
Baltimore Ravens
After starting the season 0-2, nobody has been better than the Ravens. Baltimore moved to 4-2 after Sunday's 30-24 win over the Commanders and rookie phenom Jayden Daniels. Lamar Jackson is making a bid to win his second consecutive NFL MVP award.
Here's the upcoming schedule for the Ravens:
- Ravens at Bucs
- Ravens at Browns
- Ravens vs. Broncos
The Ravens are a 3.5-point road favorite against the Bucs on MNF. Baltimore will be favored by more than that against Cleveland and Denver in games it should win.
Minnesota Vikings
The Vikings are the NFC's only undefeated team at 5-0. You'll note their odds to make the playoffs aren't nearly as prohibitive as the Chiefs. That's because Minnesota is playing in the NFL's toughest division this season.
- Vikings 5-0
- Lions 4-1
- Bears 4-2
- Packers 4-2
The NFC North is the first division with all teams at four or more wins through six weeks since the NFL realigned to six four-team divisions in 2002.
Minnesota hosts Detroit in a huge division tilt on Sunday. The Lions are coming off a 47-9 destruction of the Cowboys, and the Vikings are coming off their bye week.
Detroit Lions
You can make a case for Detroit being the NFL's most complete team on offense. The Lions have two top-tier RBs in David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs. The same can be said at WR with Amon-Ra ST. Brown and Jameson Williams.
Unfortunately, the Lions will be without stud DE Aidan Hutchinson after his gruesome injury at Dallas. Hutchinson suffered a broken leg, but underwent successful surgery afterward. You have to wonder how much that impacts Detroit's momentum moving forward.
San Francisco 49ers
Sunday's game against Kansas City will be a big litmus test for San Francisco, which has been without star RB Christian McCaffrey all season. With Achilles tendinitis in both legs, McCaffrey will reportedly be out for at least another month.
Complicating matters further, RB Jordan Mason suffered a shoulder injury in last week's win over Seattle. Mason is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Chiefs.

For the last decade, Brett Yang and Eddy Chen, under the moniker TwoSet Violin, have entertained their audience with their unique blend of classical music and comedy.
Throughout their 11-year career, they have performed all over the world, particularly during their crowd-funded world tour. However, when a bunch of their social media posts and YouTube videos suddenly disappeared from their pages, fans started to suspect that something had gone wrong. Could TwoSet Violin be really over? Or is a rebrand upon us?
A distinctive type of classical music
TwoSet Violin is a musical-comedy duo comprising Australian violinists Brett Yang and Eddy Chen. The duo started on YouTube posting violin covers of popular songs on their channel. They met at Queensland Conservatorium where they both studied the violin and their content at the time included skits about their lives as classical music students. As they started to gain popularity, they eventually switched to musical comedy, and Yang and Chen resigned from the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and the Queensland Symphony Orchestra respectively to pursue their new career. This helped them build a community of classical music fans, as well as comedy fans and brought new attention to the classical genre.
The duo has also collaborated with respectable orchestras such as with the Singapore Symphony Orchestra with whom they held a performance at the Victoria Concert Hall to celebrate reaching 4 million YouTube subscribers.
In the later years of their career, TwoSet Violin branched out of their comedic content and started securing deals with big brands such as Apple Music. They also launched the TwoSet Academy and TwoSet Talks, their podcast on Apple Music.
Did TwoSet Violin break up?
In a move that surprised all of their fans, Brett Yang and Eddy Chen announced that TwoSet Violin is over on October 14. In a series of emotional social media posts on their Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook platforms, they shared the sad news, claiming that it would be the last piece of content they post as a duo.
The posts didn’t read as a breakup per se, but rather as an ending to their joint project. The statement read, “This will be the last piece of content we post as TwoSet Violin. It’s been a while ride with you all for the last 11 years. We’ve all grown up together and it’s kinda surreal that we’re ending our chapter here.” They also expressed their gratitude to their fans and community for the last decade of support.
Yang and Chen also released a statement on their merch account, TwoSet Apparel. The website will be having an 11th anniversary sale which will also double as the final TwoSet Apparel sale. The statement on that account read, “Now, with a mix of gratitude and nostalgia, we’re announcing the FINALE of this chapter for TwoSet Apparel. To celebrate, we’re having our 11th Anniversary Sale- your LAST chance to grab your favorite pieces before we say goodbye.”
TwoSet also added that they will be bringing back old merch pieces for the final sale such as the Spring Sonata jumper, La Mer jumper, and the Circle of Fifths watch. Interestingly, the wording on their statements, such as them referring to the line as the “final chapter,” has some internet users believing that Yang and Chen might be considering solo careers, or a rebrand of TwoSet Violin. While the pair didn’t give a reason for bringing TwoSet Violin to an end, it is not yet certain whether this will be the last we see of either of them and their talent.

Euclid telescope reveals first ‘stunning’ piece of its map of the universe
The ‘huge mosaic’ covers an area in the southern sky more than 500 times the area of the full moon, ESA said.
Europe’s Euclid telescope has revealed a “stunning image” that will form the first piece of its great cosmic map in a mission to unravel the secrets of the universe.
This “huge mosaic” is made up of 208 gigapixels of image data, covering an area in the southern sky more than 500 times the area of the full moon, the European Space Agency (ESA) said.
Featuring some 14 million galaxies, it accounts for 1% of the wide sky survey that Euclid will capture over six years to shed light on two of the universe’s greatest mysteries: dark energy and dark matter.
Dark matter is made up of particles that do not absorb, reflect or emit light while dark energy is believed to be pushing galaxies apart, causing the expansion of the universe to accelerate.
Valeria Pettorino, Euclid project scientist at ESA, said: “This stunning image is the first piece of a map that in six years will reveal more than one third of the sky.
“This is just 1% of the map, and yet it is full of a variety of sources that will help scientists discover new ways to describe the universe.”
ESA said a “special feature” that can be seen in the mosaic are dim clouds in between the stars in the Milky Way which appear in light blue against the black background of space.
They are a mix of gas and dust, also called “galactic cirrus” because they look like cirrus clouds, it said.
Euclid is able to see these clouds with its highly sensitive camera because they reflect optical light from the Milky Way, the scientists said.
The optical camera, called VIS, was designed and built by an international team led by researchers at University College London (UCL) while the Open University’s (OU) Centre for Electronic Imaging (CEI) helped to develop the detectors for the VIS instrument.
Dr Jesper Skottfelt, research fellow at the OU, said: “The Euclid mission is a major step forward in our understanding of the dark universe.
“The images Euclid is capturing are a treasure trove of information that will help us unravel the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy.”
Professor Mat Page, based at UCL’s Mullard Space Science Laboratory, who is the current lead for the VIS camera, said: “Before Euclid, nobody had ever made an image of such a large area of sky at such high resolution.
“Even the zoomed in images don’t show the full resolution of Euclid’s spectacular VIS camera.
“Before Euclid, we would never be able to see the faint cirrus clouds in the Milky Way, and pick out every star that’s illuminating them in super-high resolution.
“And this is just a tiny fraction of the full area that Euclid is going to survey, so by the end we’ll have a real astronomical harvest of discoveries.”
Launched in July 2023, the Euclid mission aims to create a 3D map of the universe by observing two billion galaxies, which will help scientists understand its cosmic history.

These chapters coming out on Monday is great, as the start of the week tends to be something people don’t look forward to. When it means we get one step closer to the showdown with Odium, however, Monday can’t come soon enough. Today’s chapters have some hints of bigger secrets to come, and move us very close to important events.
To best enjoy this article, first read chapters 21 & 22 of Wind and Truth over at ReactorMag.com. Naturally, this article has major spoilers for all the previous Stormlight Archive books.
Chapter 21
Shallan’s crew decides to go ahead with their plan. Sigzil decides to fake it until he makes it. Jasnah, Navani, and Wit (plus a couple of people hiding) learn of what Cultivation has told Dalinar.
Shallan
It was surprising how quickly this Ghostblood infiltration operation got going — Dalinar authorized the operation last chapter! People who were bored during Rhythm of War (not me, for the record) will be happy with how Sanderson isn’t wasting any time in this book. It isn’t immediately clear that the operation will happen, however, as Shallan takes a moment to tell her team this is the point where they can decide not to go through with it.
This is an interesting scene, as it isn’t very military or leader-y to tell your team “This is our last chance to back out.” Shallan doesn’t seem confident in herself or her plan, and who can blame her? The Ghostbloods are a powerful, interplanetary organization, and Shallan is a young woman who has had to grow up a lot — too fast, really — over the last couple of years. But it’s a better scene because of her hesitancy; the way the team backs her up and makes good points for why they should go through with the operation is satisfying to read.
“I think,” Red said, “that nobody ever feels ready for big operations. Storms, you think half those boys on the walls feel ready to fight a war? The question isn’t if we’re ready, but if it needs to be done.”
Now that there are so many new Radiants, we’re getting to meet a lot of new spren. Red’s spren Array likes alliteration — a truly tasteful trait. It’s becoming more clear with each spren we meet that, like people, spren are not monolithic within a cultures, and there is a lot of variety in their personalities. Which is great — the Star Trek trope of the whole planet being full of people with the exact same personality is boring.
With Radiants being so powerful, it’s an interesting challenge for Brandon Sanderson to give them meaningful challenges. Fused are one, obviously, and now in this operation we see another cool twist: black sand from Taldain can detect Investiture, so Shallan can’t bring Pattern into the meeting, and she can’t use a Lightweaving.
The plan seems to be to capture one of the Ghostbloods heading to the meeting and replacing them with Shallan — but she’s going to have to disguise herself without a Lightweaving. If that person is wearing a mask, it will be easy, otherwise I’m interested in how she manages it. Also, while Pattern will probably have to remain behind, Testament is only in Shadesmar until summoned, so Shallan should be able to enter the meeting armed.
Sigzil
The middle segment of this chapter features another perspective switch with a great opening line. Brandon has been nailing these this book:
Sigzil did his best to pretend he was Kaladin.
It’s simple, but expresses a lot, and gets you right into what’s happening internally with Sigzil. In this scene we meet Sigzil’s spren Vienta, right as she’s doing something that’s basically a trope in this series now: an Honorspren talking their moody Windrunner off of the proverbial ledge. As usual, it works, and Sigzil comes to a decision that he needs to act like a leader. Right as the section ends, he prepares to reveal a “strange” idea about the defense of Narak — hopefully we get to learn what it is soon.
While discussing defense plans, it is revealed that Windrunners and Edgedancers make up the bulk of the Radiant forces, with Stonewards and Lightweavers also being present in great numbers. The other orders are “largely empty”. We’ll just have to hope this is because the spren of those orders aren’t yet willing to bond — and that it isn’t because those orders are siding with Odium.
Also noteworthy in this section is a Windrunner using her spren as a Shardpen. It sounds like it can be filled with ink like a normal pen, which makes sense, but is still pretty funny. We can look forward to more clever and amusing uses for Shardblades in the future. Shardtweezers, anyone?
Jasnah
Every time we’re back in Urithiru, we learn about anther awesome thing the Sibling can do now that the tower is fully operational. The sunroom described in Jasnah’s section of this chapter sounds awesome, although Dalinar is less than amused by how rapidly the plants around him are growing. The Sibling mentioning that it’s in case her sister the Nightwatcher visits is noteworthy, as it implies it has happened before. The Nightwatcher is the last remaining Bondsmith spren, though it’s hard at this point to have any guesses as to who (if anyone) might bond her. Adolin’s got a good relationship with a Cultivation spren already in Maya, so he could go on that list.
We found out earlier in the book that the Sibling essentially spies on everyone in the tower all the time, and now we know just how much she can hear. The Sibling hears Jasnah whisper to Ivory and then replies — no secrets in Urithiru! This response includes some wild new info:
“When was the Nightwatcher created?” Jasnah whispered to Ivory. “We call her the Old Magic, but how long has she been around? When did Cultivation form her?”
Before Ivory could answer, a voice whispered back from a nearby air vent. “The Nightwatcher came from the Night, as the Stormfather came from the Wind. Though, when I was young, the Wind was different. So very different.”
“When were you created, Sibling?” Jasnah asked.
“Some six thousand years ago, when the Stones wanted a legacy in the form of a child of Honor and Cultivation. Back when Bondsmiths bonded not to spren, but to the ancient forces, left by gods.”
It sounds as though the current Bondsmith spren might not have been created by Shards, but instead formed from other natural forces made manifest. We’ve met the Wind already, as she spoke to Kaladin in a previous chapter. It’s very strange that Bondsmith were bonding these forces, rather than the spren they spawned. Perhaps this can still be done, and there isn’t a hard limit of three Bondsmiths — an exciting prospect.
Sanderson sometimes nails his timing with the book’s humor, and the bit with Lift and the Mink is one of those times. The mental image of an elder general being discovered hiding alongside a teenage girl is just great. We also get more Lift logic, which is unimpeachable — porridge should taste like meat. Dalinar deciding to send the Windrunners to help the Mink retake Herdaz seems likely to come back to bite him. That’s a lot of their Radiant force, and there’s no way the entirety of Odium’s scheme has been discovered yet.
Dalinar honoring the oath to the Mink feels like a real clear foreshadow that he’s meant for Honor’s power — but it’s too obvious, and my money’s on the whole thing being a misdirect. Someone else will probably take up Honor’s shard, or perhaps there’s another way to use the power to fight Odium without a new Vessel for the Shard.
Chapter 22
Kaladin discovers the mental health benefits of being in nature that doesn’t hide from you, and is rebuffed in his attempt to discuss with Szeth’s his own mental health. The Stormfather throws a tantrum.
Kaladin
The alien landscape of Shinovar continues to amuse and amaze both Kaladin and Syl, and it continues to be equally amusing as a reader to see totally normal plants viewed from the perspective of someone who finds them super weird. Every main character Brandon Sanderson writes is secretly a philosopher, by the way:
He found it oddly peaceful. Comforting. Did a deep part of him know humans had once lived on a world full of these plants? Or perhaps… perhaps they weren’t timid or stupid. Perhaps these plants were brave. At the very least, they had never known the tyranny of the storm—and so had never been forced to hide. He found beauty in that.
Kaladin’s attempt to get Szeth to open up about his trauma goes about as well as you’d expect — it doesn’t go at all. Kaladin isn’t going to give up though, he’s just going to try another method (one he hasn’t figured out yet). A good therapist essentially tricks their patient into coming to realizations, so perhaps Kaladin will find a way to be more subtle — but that’s not his strong suit, as a general rule.
When I thought maybe Szeth was going to Shinovar to “cleanse” people he didn’t like because they weren’t honorable or something, I wasn’t that excited about this plot thread. But Szeth confirms there’s an Unmade influencing his people, and now I’m in. The Unmade have all been cool, as a general rule, and there are quite a few that we still know nothing about. Szeth has apparently met this Unmade, and says it began in his youth “with a rock”, perhaps his Oathstone — I believe the Oathstone was part of his being made Truthless, but we don’t know how young he was when that occurred.
In this chapter, Nightblood tells a joke — is the sword getting more intelligent? We’ve seen it struggle with humor in the past. The strange shardblade is still largely a mystery, and while most Awakened objects probably can’t learn and grow, it appears Nightblood is doing just that.
Dalinar
It’s funny how everyone leaves the room so the Stormfather can come yell at Dalinar. The spren is surprisingly petulant and childish, and it’s unclear if the plan he’s talking about is his plan or Honor’s.
I HEARD YOU DISCUSSING HONOR’S POWER, THE STORMFATHER THUNDERED. WHY, DALINAR? MUST YOU THINK SO HIGHLY OF YOURSELF? YOU’RE RUINING EVERYTHING!
The Stormfather saying that he has broken the Heralds was also a bit confusing, but perhaps he had more to do with the Oathpact than we know. Crucially, we now know whatever happened to Tanavast is even worse than the implied death. The Stormfather calls it “our shame”, and says the power of Honor may not take “someone like [Dalinar]” as a host after what happened with Tanavast. Whatever happened, it’s obviously embarrassing, and perhaps involves some less-than-honorable behavior.
The Stormfather’s attitude, combined with the revelation about Tavavast, serves to show how, when it comes right down to it, even the powerful beings and gods of the Cosmere are regular people. That’s both terrifying and heartening — while it means the Stormfather isn’t as strong of an ally as we might have thought, it also makes Odium seem that much more fallible. That said, it’s Taravangian holding Odium now, who feels much more dangerous than Rayse ever did.
Speaking of danger, Wit confirms venturing into the Spiritual Realm is risky, giving us a bit of Realmatic theory while he’s at it. Time moving strangely in the Spiritual Realm is no surprise, and adds a real danger to Dalinar’s journey there — he could miss the contest of champions entirely if things go wrong. The scene with the two watches reveals more about how the entire magic system works, and is pretty funny too.
“Take my clock’s soul,” Wit said, holding up his, “and Connect it by a thread of power to your own clock, grounding yours in the Physical Realm while you travel.” Wit looked at him. “Poke this with Stormlight, then poke that. Try it.”
Just like Shallan’s scene, Dalinar is on the verge of beginning an important mission right as this chapter ends. We really are in for one long Sanderlanche with Wind and Truth.
Speculation
There’s a lot that’s been set up already: the Spiritual Realm, Shallan’s infiltration of the Ghostblood hideout, Szeth’s upcoming battle with an Unmade, the defense of the three cities. But there is still something I’ve been waiting to see mentioned again: the anti-light that Navani discovered in Rhythm of War. The fact that spren can be killed, and that the Fused can be killed permanently, seems a glaring omission from the chapters we’ve seen so far.
A very small amount of time has passed in-book so far, however, and everyone has been scrambling in response to Todium’s surprise attacks on the three capitals. I expect we’ll learn that Navani’s science team is working on some kind of anti-voidlight weaponry — and hopefully, a way to counter anti-stormlight as well.
The next chapters should be quite spicy — I can’t wait to see what the Spiritual Realm is like. Let us know your thoughts on Chapters 21 and 22 in the comments below!

It would be nice to prepare every meal from scratch, but most people’s busy schedules don’t allow it. For better or worse, many of us rely on pre-made meals for lunches, including sandwiches and salads.
If you’re one of those millions of people, a recent recall should get your attention. Oklahoma-based company BrucePac is recalling almost 10 million pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) meat and poultry products due to concerns that the products may be contaminated with listeria.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) explains:
The ready-to-eat meat and poultry items were produced from June 19, 2024, to October 8, 2024. These products were shipped to other establishments and distributors nationwide then distributed to restaurants and institutions. Information regarding product labels and the list of products will be provided when available.
The products subject to recall bear establishment numbers "51205 or P-51205" inside or under the USDA mark of inspection.
The problem was discovered after FSIS performed routine product testing of finished product containing RTE poultry products produced by BrucePac and confirmed those products positive for Listeria monocytogenes. Subsequent FSIS investigation identified BrucePac RTE chicken as the source of the Listeria monocytogenes.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider.
The FDA classifies this recall as Class I, which it defines as “a health hazard situation where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death.” Listeriosis, the disease that the bacteria carries, can cause flu-like symptoms or gastrointestinal distress, and it can lead to miscarriages and stillbirths.

The products under this recall include popular brands like Taylor Farms salads, Michelina’s, and Boston Market, as well as store brands from popular chains like Walmart, Aldi, Kroger, and Trader Joe’s. Amazon Fresh meals and Reser’s Fine Foods meal kits fall under this recall as well. Click here to see a full list of food labels.

— U.S. FDA Recalls (@FDArecalls) October 15, 2024
The FDA advises that consumers return contaminated food to the store for a full refund or discard the items. Consumers should not attempt to eat any of the potentially contaminated items.
In 2024 alone, the FDA has logged roughly 200 recalls for food, beverages, dietary supplements, and pet foods. Most of these recalls don’t make major headlines, although the recall on Boar’s Head deli meats received plenty of attention earlier this year.
It’s still too early to gauge the effects of the BrucePac recall, but it doesn’t hold a candle to some of the largest recalls in U.S. history. In 2008, California-based Hallmark/Westland Meat Packing had to recall 143 million pounds of beef after an undercover video showed the company slaughtering sick cows. The resulting lawsuit drove the company to bankruptcy.
In 2011, a salmonella outbreak involving ground turkey from Cargill Meat Solutions Corporation of Arkansas led to one death and 90 people getting sick. That recall involved 36 million pounds of turkey. A Canadian pet food manufacturer included tainted Chinese gluten in their dog and cat foods across North America. At least 14 animals died, and the recall led to the indictment of the owners of the Chinese companies.

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) The new offering will enable clients and their families to create and share personalized estate planning documents, an expansion of Empathy's industry-leading loss support
NEW YORK, Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Empathy, the world leader in helping families deal with loss, has announced the launch of its newest product offering, LifeVaultTM which makes it easier than ever for Americans to build comprehensive legacy plans. LifeVault represents the next phase of Empathy's mission to change the way Americans manage the loss of a loved one by making personalized, holistic legacy planning and support more accessible.
“At Empathy, we support families during some of life's most challenging moments, starting with our first-in-class product for support after the loss of a loved one, and now with LifeVault which puts the focus on planning ahead,” said Empathy co-founder and CEO Ron Gura.“LifeVault is the next phase of Empathy's mission - making personalized, holistic legacy planning and support possible for even more families.”
Most families perceive estate planning as complex, time-consuming, and costly. For these reasons, 67 percent of Americans have no estate plan in place-a number that disproportionately affects middle- and lower-income families.
With LifeVault, Empathy further establishes its deep understanding of what families need to handle loss in America, leveraging corporate partnerships to support millions of families in their time of need. Empathy's LifeVault is a white-labeled solution that increases access to estate planning services via thoughtful tailored integrations with trusted life insurance carriers and agents, empowering families with the legacy planning tools they need to make informed choices and move forward in confidence following the loss of a loved one.
LifeVault will be available to families via financial institutions, empowering them to take control of their legacy with tools and guidance to create more comprehensive roadmaps. By working with trusted and enduring financial institutions, individuals can ensure that their families will be taken care of both financially and administratively––a streamlined experience that will pay dividends to countless families in the years to come as they cope with a new reality following loss.
Clients will be able to revisit their plans and choices to make updates to a variety of integral legacy planning documents, including:
Last Will & Testament
Health Care Directive
Power of Attorney
Funeral Directive
New York Life, the largest mutual life insurance company in the United States, served as an initial design partner with Empathy on LifeVault. The company was the first life insurance carrier to leverage Empathy's loss support for bereaved families and now is the first insurer to introduce the legacy planning offering.
“Our ongoing partnership with Empathy well-represents New York Life's continued commitment to delivering exceptional client and agent experiences through innovation,” said Regina Warga, head of client experience, New York Life.“This includes empowering our agents to deliver further value to our clients and their loved ones through new technologies like Empathy's latest offering that are designed to strengthen relationships and support families as they build legacies and secure financial futures.”
With a deep commitment to helping families work through life's most difficult moments, Empathy is redefining the way that we plan for and deal with loss. Learn more about how Empathy is changing the way the world deals with loss at .

JASIN: The Melaka government is set to undertake a comprehensive study aimed at identifying effective solutions to tackle flood issues, particularly in low-lying areas.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh said unpredictable weather patterns of late have led to unexpected flood situations.
“Such occurrences are rare, but the erratic weather has resulted in floods that significantly alter the landscape and structures of the affected areas.
“Therefore, a study will be conducted to provide us with insights for improvement strategies that can help prevent flood risks,” he told reporters after visiting the temporary evacuation centre at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (SMK) Dang Anum in Merlimau today.
Also present were state secretary Datuk Azhar Arshad and Merlimau assemblyman Datuk Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh.
In addition, Ab Rauf said the Melaka government will distribute emergency aid of RM300 to all families affected by the recent floods in Jasin.
He also urged parents to closely monitor their children’s activities to prevent any unfortunate incidents.
“I call on the people of Melaka, especially those living in flood-prone areas, to remain vigilant, as weather forecasts indicate that this unpredictability may continue until the end of the year,” he said.

The Los Angeles Dodgers could look to move on from struggling players in order to afford upgrades in free agency. They spent big last winter, but cannot expect to match that in 2024.
When proposing unpopular trade ideas for each team, Bleacher Report's Zachary D. Rymer urged the Dodgers to trade Max Muncy in order to allocate funds towards starting pitching or Teoscar Hernández.
"As he's tallied 190 home runs since 2018, it would be easy to market the 34-year-old as a top source of left-handed power," wrote Rymer. "They could then use the savings on his $14.5 million salary to address other needs, be it re-signing Teoscar Hernández or adding starting pitching."
Muncy signed a two-year, $24 million extension in 2023. Muncy has a club option for 2026 and is due $14.5 million next year. He played in just 73 games this season and had a .232 average. Since 2022 he has played in 344 games with a .210 batting average.
Muncy provides a lot of power from the left side of the plate and could be a poplar option for needy teams. He is not playing at the level of his two All-Star seasons with the Dodgers. Meanwhile, Teoscar Hernández will be a free agent and the Dodgers may prioritize him. They could certainly use the $14.5 million they owe Muncy to keep him on the roster.
Additionally, the Dodgers will surely be looking to add starting pitching. Jack Flaherty has been a great acquisition, but he will hit free agency as well. The Dodgers will have Clayton Kershaw, Tyler Glasnow and Shohei Ohtani back on the mound but may need to add another arm to avoid a repeat of this year on the mound.

A lot of things can make you feel ancient. Maybe it’s watching your child grow up, which is a beautiful and heart-wrenching reminder of how quickly time passes. Maybe it’s realizing your favorite movie came out 20 years ago. Or maybe it’s watching a funny interview with the stars of Agatha All Along and realizing once again that one of those stars is super, super young.
Joe Locke, who plays the noteworthy character Teen (or should we say Billy?), in the MCU‘s latest series, shared his superhero origin story in a recent interview. You’re going to want to hear this one. The actor said, “I grew up with the MCU” and explained how he was just five years old when Iron Man came out in 2008. Yes, five years old! Locke’s equally hilarious costar, Kathryn Hahn looked flabbergasted at this, which was when he said jokingly, “You’re all so old!”
Locke continued by saying Marvel was “an integral part of my childhood,” which is a sobering thought. It’s also another reminder that no matter how astute and wise he is, he’s still only 21 years old. For comparison, when Iron Man came out in 2008, Hahn, who is 51, was 35. So, it’s no wonder she had that exasperated reaction. This whole thing is even more mind-boggling when you realize 2010 was 14 years ago and not just yesterday.
Locke has talked about being a Marvel fan elsewhere, and every time he brings his sharp sense of humor, intelligence, and frankness to an interview, it’s a good day. In April 2024, he told Variety what is perhaps the biggest understatement ever uttered when he acknowledged the difference between the Heartstopper fandom, who adore him for his character Charlie, and the Marvel fandom, who always have a critique at the ready. “Marvel fans are very open with their opinions. But they’re not in a Marvel show, so—” Here he blew a raspberry. “I’m doing the one thing that they really wish they could be doing. Sorry!” It may be harsh, but he speaks the truth.
Imagine having the delightful experience of watching Iron Man as a kid and then, 16 years later, playing a character whose identity reconfigures the entire MCU and whose big reveal goes down in history as one of the franchise’s best. Sure, everyone would probably feel better if Locke didn’t share that he was a child when he first got into Marvel, but does anyone actually get the chance to star in the very fandom they have admired for so long? Maybe he’s right and people really are just envious. Of course, Locke has put in hard work and deserves everything he gets. Before being cast as Charlie Spring in Netflix’s Heartstopper, which premiered in 2022, he acted in several plays while growing up, but for the most part, he’s a relative newcomer in the Hollywood scene. And look at him now!
Locke isn’t a kid anymore, though, and he had that quintessential coming-of-age experience when filming Agatha All Along that everyone hopes for. Sure, you might feel like a grown-up when you move away for college or get your first apartment, and Locke experienced this while starring in a Marvel project. But, you know, it’s still relatable. The actor told Rolling Stone UK he “matured a lot” when filming the series. He said, ‘This is adult sh*t. I’m going into this on the same plane as everyone else.”
Everyone is glad Locke joined the MCU and has brought his glorious talent to Agatha All Along, but hopefully, he doesn’t say anything else that makes us feel old. I, for one, already don’t understand all the slang kids these days use on TikTok and I don’t need any more reminders about the passage of time.

Fact check: Funding for brownfield land development launched two years ago
The Government has awarded £68 million to 54 councils as part of a programme that was announced in 2022.
The Prime Minister has said the Government “is rolling up its sleeves and delivering the change the British people deserve” as he announced £68 million of funding for councils to help build on disused brownfield land.
Sir Keir Starmer said: “I said this Government is on the side of the builders, not the blockers. And I meant it. This funding for councils will see disused sites and industrial wastelands transformed into thousands of new homes in places where people want to live and work. Our brownfield-first approach will not only ramp up housebuilding but also create more jobs, deliver much-needed infrastructure, and boost economic growth across the country.
“This Government is rolling up its sleeves and delivering the change the British people deserve.”
Evaluation
The funding is part of a programme which was first announced in 2022 during Boris Johnson’s time as Prime Minister.
The facts
The funding was announced by the current Labour Government under Sir Keir, but the programme it is part of was announced around two years before Labour won July’s election.
The funding is part of the Brownfield Land Release Fund. The Government release which announced the funding acknowledges in the penultimate paragraph that the fund “was launched in July 2022.”
On July 8 2022, the Government announced that a £180 million brownfield fund would “help to transform disused urban areas into 17,600 new homes” over the next four years.
At the time initially £40 million was made available, with the remaining £140 million being “made available to councils over the next 2 years.”
In December 2023 the Government, during Rishi Sunak’s premiership, announced the third round of funding for the Brownfield Land Release Fund 2.
This would provide up to £80 million, the Government said at the time.
The announcement from the Government on October 15 2024 confirmed that £68 million of this had been allocated, and listed some of the projects that would benefit. It said that 54 councils would benefit.
The release added: “The funding will mean councils can clear empty buildings, former car parks and industrial land to make way for the homes. This category of land is expensive to prepare for housebuilding, meaning sites are sat empty and an eyesore for local communities.”
The first Land Release Fund awarded £45 million to more than 70 council-led projects in February 2018. Applications for the Brownfield Land Release fund opened in April 2021.

What has Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) got against oil and gas producers?
The radical left California legislature passed a bill, which Newsom signed on Tuesday, that forces refineries to keep a certain amount of oil on hand at all times in order to prevent the price of gasoline from rising during times that the refineries must shut down for maintenance.
Newsom accused the trade group representing the refineries, the Western States Petroleum Association (WSPA), of spreading "mistruths" and engaging in "manipulation."
"Particularly WSPA and their talking points and big oil that knowingly continues to lie to the people," Newsom said while flanked by lawmakers in Sacramento. "They are the polluted part of this climate crisis. They continue to lie and they continue to manipulate."
"This is literally politics above policy," WSPA President and CEO Catherine Reheis-Boyd told FOX Business. "To have his attacks, which were filled with personal insults, only serves to divide, not address the real issues that we're trying to deal with."
"To call the hard-working men and women of this industry… polluted hearts is just beneath the leadership that California deserves," she added. "He chose to demonize an industry that powers California's economy and literally fuels everybody's daily lives. I was taken aback by the aggressiveness and the inflammatory nature."
Reheis-Boyd shouldn't be surprised. Newsom is an expert at pointing fingers at others when he sees the problem every day when he wakes up and looks in the mirror.
The ABx2-1 bill was inspired by the anti-business agency, the Division of Petroleum Market Oversight. It discovered that gas price hikes are mainly caused by "increases in global crude oil prices and unplanned refinery outages," according to Fox Business. State regulators will be looking over the refinery's shoulders to maintain that the required amount of product is on hand at all times.
The average price for a gallon of gas in California is $4.68 compared to the nationwide average of $3.20.
Opponents of the law have said it could unintentionally raise gas prices and threaten the safety of workers by giving the state more oversight over refinery maintenance schedules.
Newsom unveiled the legislation in August, during the last week of the regular legislative session. State Assembly lawmakers said they needed more time to consider the bill and Newsom called the Legislature into a special session to pass it.
Reheis-Boyd said the cost of crude oil can be lowered through a variety of ways, including by re-opening pipelines that have been shut down and promoting a better business climate to keep refineries in the state.
"We are sitting on one of the biggest reserves of oil in Kern County," she said. "So when people say we need a strategic petroleum reserve, I say ‘We have one. It’s in Kern County. We can't get the oil out of the ground because this governor won't allow permits to be issued to producers to produce it."
And there you have it. The oil is right there under Newsom's feet, but he won't issue permits to drill because (Choose one): 1) he's anti-fossil fuels; 2) he likes high gas prices; 3) he's anti-business; and 4) all of the above.
Not much of a quiz, I admit, when everyone knows the answer is #4.

Segmentation Insights
By Condition
The Palliative Care Market is classified under various conditions that include cancer, dementia, HIV, cerebrovascular disease, respiratory disease, and others. The cancer segment dominated the industry, with 36.9% revenue generation in 2023, due to increasing global cancer incidence. According to the report of Globocan 2020, new cases were 19.3 million, and nearly 10 million deaths were recorded worldwide. Often patients with cancer demand palliative care that deals with the physical, emotional, as well as psychological facets.
By Diagnostic Group
The Non-Communicable Diseases segment had the largest share of the revenue market at 68.0% in 2023. This growth is primarily contributed to by an increase in NCD cases through lifestyle and sedentary habits. The report from the WHO shows that NCDs account for 41 million deaths each year, constituting 74% of total mortality. With this rising need, organizations are starting particular care centers with the case being that of Boots Company PLC, which in January 2022 resolved to team up with Macmillan Cancer Support and the NHS to make palliative care more accessible for seriously ill patients with cancer in the UK.
By Age Group
The market can be segmented into pediatric, adult, and geriatric. In 2023, it was the adult segment that came forward to take the lead with 51.0%. The increased levels of dominance are mainly due to the rising prevalence of chronic and potentially life-threatening conditions such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases, which would require palliative care to lessen the symptoms and improve a patient's quality of life.
Based on the Provider
The market has been segmented by the provider into hospitals & clinics, home-based care, and community settings. The home care segment earned the highest share at 44.6% in 2023, mainly because of the wish of older patients to receive treatment within familiar surroundings. Recently, service providers have been opening focused and dedicated home care centers. For instance, in February 2021, Mount Sinai Health System entered an agreement with Contessa Health, Inc. to offer the "Palliative Care at Home" program for patients with serious illnesses.

Regional Analysis
Europe: A Leader in Palliative Care Services
Europe occupied a market share of 36.5% in the worldwide market for palliative care in 2023, which would be very important in future developments regarding end-of-life treatments and supporting systems. The wide older population in the region and increasing interest in the quality of life contributed hugely to the need for integrated palliative services. Countries like Germany, Italy, and the UK have already conducted palliative care services within their health sector, meaning they are committed to complete treatment medicine.
News Headlines

TEMERLOH: The Sultan of Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah today ordered the various parties involved in managing floods not to be selective in providing aid.
Al-Sultan Abdullah also reminded flood victims to be patient and not to quickly find faults over arising issues.
“I also want to advise that those in the temporary transfer centre (PPS) not to be quick-tempered while I hope government officials will also attempt help as best as possible and assist all in the PPS fairly,“ said His Royal Highness.
The Sultan told reporters after visiting flood victims at the PPS in Dewan Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Seri Semantan , Mentakab here.
Earlier, Al-Sultan Abdullah visited the PPS at Sekolah Kebangsaan Desa Bakti here besides handing out donations to more than 300 heads of households placed in the two evacuation centres.
As of 2.10 pm, a total of 1,365 flood victims from 398 families were housed in seven PPS operating in Temerloh.
In the meantime, Al-Sultan Abdullah ordered that flood victims to comply with the authorities’ instructions to move to PPS for their own safety.
Sympathising with the flood victims, His Royal Highness also prayed for a speedy recovery from the disaster and advised them to take care of themselves and their families, especially those with small children.
“Now that the season is uncertain due to climate change, we must always be prepared. It is possible that this year will be a bit faster than the previous year, so we hope that it (the flood) will end quickly... let’s pray together,“ said His Majesty.
The Sultan of Pahang also ordered that the flood mitigation project in Pahang to be expedited by the government for the well-being of the people.
“I hope there would be less rhetoric and they should instead speed up the flood mitigation project, specifically in Sungai Semantan, Temerloh apart from deepening rivers,“ said the Sultan.

The San Francisco Giants were very active in free agency last offseason.
San Francisco isn't afraid to spend and brought in a few players last offseason, including Jordan Hicks, Matt Chapman, and Blake Snell, among others. Things didn't go as planned for the Giants, though, and they finished with an 80-82 record.
Now, the Giants need to go back to the drawing board this winter. San Francisco will likely look to bring in another star this winter, but trades could be in the works as well. Bleacher Report's Zachary Rymer suggested that the team should trade pitcher Jordan Hicks.
"The caveat here is that Hicks wouldn't seem to be especially popular in San Francisco," Rymer said. "He was quick to earn goodwill in his first season as a Giant but just as quick in squandering it. The hard-throwing righty had a 2.33 ERA in 11 starts out of the gate but then a 6.42 ERA over his next nine. He finished the year in the bullpen, where his reliability was about as spotty as it had been in prior experiences with St. Louis and Toronto.
"With the guy who signed Hicks to a four-year, $44 million contract now out of the picture, it wouldn't be surprising if the Giants at least shopped him this winter. The only question then is what they could even get for him."
Hicks showed a lot of promise, but the second half of the season wasn't the best for him. This isn't too shocking, though. San Francisco converted Hicks to a starting spot. He spent the first five seasons of his career as a reliever, and the 2024 season was his first as a starter. It's unclear what they will do with him, but it may make more sense to keep him and give him another chance in the rotation.

Family of missing mother ‘continue to have hope’ two weeks after disappearance
Victoria Taylor, 34, disappeared from her home in Malton, North Yorkshire, on Monday September 30
The family of Victoria Taylor said they “continue to have hope” as they marked two weeks since she was reported missing.
Ms Taylor, 34, disappeared from her home in Malton, North Yorkshire, on September 30.
The last CCTV footage recorded of Ms Taylor shows her walking towards a play park close to the River Derwent at 12.30pm that day. A number of her possessions were found in that area.
Searches have been taking place on the river since Ms Taylor was reported missing on October 1.
On Tuesday, Ms Taylor’s sisters Emma and Heidi said: “There are no words for us to describe how we are feeling as it’s ever-changing.
“We have to have some sort of normality for the children. As we know, Vixx is a mum but also an auntie and Halloween is one of her favourite seasons as she is the costume queen.
“We would like to thank the police teams as they are doing all they can, and we understand that these things take time.”
In a statement released via North Yorkshire Police, the sisters said: “The local community is amazing, from putting up posters to the daily walks to search for Vixx. We would like to thank the special people, you know who you are.
“The wider community on the Facebook page with over 10,000 people sharing Vixx’s information and sending support has given us comfort. We continue to have hope, as it is all we have at this time.”
Chief Superintendent Fiona Willey said: “Over the past 14 days we have carried out extensive inquiries to try and locate Victoria. Our focus remains on the area of the last sighting and where Victoria’s possessions were found close to the River Derwent.
“To assist with our search capability, we are utilising police search dogs from Northumbria who are specialised in searching for people. The dogs and their handlers are highly trained and are deployed to scour areas that run alongside the River Derwent.
“In addition to this, we continue with expert-led searches by land and water involving multiple teams, including our force drone unit.”
Officers have already said Ms Taylor left her home at 9am on September 30, and was then seen on CCTV at 11.35am at the BP garage on Welham Road in the Norton area of Malton, where she purchased several items.
A further sighting was captured at 11.53am at Malton bus station on Railway Street.
Further CCTV footage showed Ms Taylor walking towards the play park on Riverside Walk at 12.30pm.

There’s something to be said about criticizing superhero films for their shortcomings versus painting the entire genre as an inherently flawed and classless enterprise. It’s no help that the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the undisputed juggernaut of superhero filmmaking for the moment (by all appearances, James Gunn is getting ready to upstage everyone with Superman), continues to double down on those aforementioned shortcomings that masquerade as fan service.
Harrison Ford, the crown prince of the blockbuster, is no stranger to this sort of thing, and as he prepares to make his MCU debut in Captain America: Brave New World, our beloved Indiana Jones has come out in defense of the oft-written-off franchise in a recent interview with GQ.
I mean, this is the Marvel universe and I’m just there on a weekend pass… I understand the appeal of other kinds of films besides the kind we made in the ’80s and ’90s… It’s the condition our condition is in, and things change and morph and go on. We’re silly if we sit around regretting the change and don’t participate. I’m participating in a new part of the business that, for me at least, I think is really producing some good experiences for an audience.
Note how Ford emphasizes the significance that the MCU represents to audiences. He understands the weight these franchise films can carry, and so it’s no great revelation that Ford insists on honoring that by leading by example.
The problem, of course, has nothing to do with the MCU’s existence and everything to do with how it’s being handled in the present moment. By drawing on the reach and cultural depth of the Marvel comics, the MCU has an opportunity to tell great stories to an audience that indie geniuses could only ever dream of accumulating. That’s the thing; it’s hard enough to make a great movie, but it’s damn near impossible to get people to go see it.
Marvel doesn’t have the latter problem, but more importantly, it doesn’t need to have that first problem, and yet it insists on references, cameos, contrived stakes, and tragically unadventurous storytelling at the behest of merchandise-hunting Disney suits who don’t know the first thing about tension and narrative.
And here’s where Ford’s defense misses the mark. As a vessel for storytelling, the MCU is just as valuable to the filmmaking world as any Oscar-winning scribe and gaffer, and in fact offers a viewership reach that few enterprises can claim to have. The problem is that vessel hasn’t been taken full advantage of for quite a while. Sure, Deadpool & Wolverine made a billion dollars, but what creative and emotional nutrition did it actually hold? If superhero stories insist on narrative mileage that amounts to tongue-in-cheek digs at Fox and Disney, which subsequently feed into this bastardized culture of being partial to cynicism, it’s no wonder they’re getting a bad rap.
All this to say, we hope to hope itself that the remainder of the MCU’s Phase Five can course-correct itself as early as February, when Captain America: Brave New World hits theaters on Feb. 14. Indeed, if there’s anything that can inspire such hope in these trying times, it’s that star-spangled shield.

The Seattle Mariners have one of Major League Baseball's best pitching staffs. However, a lackluster offense essentially cancels it out.
They missed the postseason after finishing with a record of 85-77. This offseason, they are going to need a bat if they want to return to the postseason for the first time since 2022.
Zachary D. Rymer proposed an unpopular trade idea, saying that if Seattle wants to get a bat, they should trade right-hander Bryce Miller.
"According to Adam Jude of the Seattle Times, the team is 'open to anything with trade scenarios.' If that includes choosing Miller as the arm to be sacrificed for a bat, then so bet it," Rymer wrote. "As a 26-year-old with club control through 2029, he's a rarely valuable piece in the abstract."
There are plenty of teams that could use a cost-controlled young arm. Seattle may not want to trade Miller, but it might have to be done in order for them to get the bat they need.
Miller is a valuable commodity, and he had a solid 2024 season. The right-hander went 12-8 in 31 starts with a 2.94 ERA. He also pitched 180 1/3 innings, struck out 171 batters and posted a 0.98 WHIP.
He brings swing-and-miss capability to teams looking for it in their rotations, and he could be the piece it takes the Mariners to move in order to acquire their bat.
It will be interesting to see how Seattle goes about adding offense this offseason.

Gavin Williamson says he is more radical over House of Lords reform than Labour
The former Tory minister urged Labour to include more reforms including removing bishops from the upper chamber and introducing a retirement age.
Conservative former minister Sir Gavin Williamson said he is more radical on House of Lords reform than the Labour Party, as he urged the Government to be more ambitious in its Bill.
Sir Gavin encouraged Paymaster General Nick Thomas-Symonds to include further changes in the planned reforms. The current Bill, which is getting its second reading on Tuesday, would see the abolition of 92 seats reserved for hereditary peers in the upper chamber.
However, the former education secretary and chief whip said he was unsure whether Labour’s plans to bring in a mandatory retirement age of 80 would ever happen, and asked why 26 Anglican bishops continued to have a role in the Lords.
He told the Commons: “As an Anglican you could say they are representing me well. But I think it’s fundamentally wrong that my children who are Catholics have no form of representation in that chamber. But this Government will not eradicate this injustice.
“There is a big opportunity here, there is an unfairness, there is an injustice. There’s so many people of so many faiths, and so many people of no faith at all.
“See the fact that there are 26 bishops, those are not reflective of the United Kingdom and they’re not reflective of what this country looks like today, but they are still there.”
He later added: “He will equally know that he will not get many opportunities to bring forward legislation in terms of the House of Lords, indeed I would expect this to be the one and only time he gets to bring forward legislation.”
Sir Gavin taunted Mr Thomas-Symonds and urged him to be more of a radical, joking that if he did so, the cabinet minister – who is a published historian on the Labour Party – would find himself the topic of one of his own books.
“He has the potential to be known as a great reformer of the Labour Party. He’ll write books about himself in future, but he needs to be brave, he needs to be bold,” he said.
Brandishing a copy of the Labour Party’s election manifesto, under which it won a 174-seat majority in July, Sir Gavin said Labour’s Bill would not fulfil the promised pledges and instead he would put forward an amendment that would do so.
“I want to see this delivered,” the MP for Stone, Great Wyrley and Penkridge said, tapping on his copy of the manifesto.
“He knows that he will not have an opportunity to bring legislation forward for this again, but … he has an opportunity to make a difference because the things that have been mentioned in their manifesto can be delivered within the scope of the Bill.
“The burning radicalism within his stomach is there that he wants to make a difference, actually I seem to be more committed to delivering this than he actually does.”
SNP deputy leader in Westminster Pete Wishart briefly intervened on Sir Gavin, urging the speaker to “make him stop this inconsequential nonsense”, to which the Conservative MP said he looked forward to “another inconsequential speech” from Mr Wishart later.
The Perth and Kinross-shire MP went on to compare peers to the Baratheons and Targaryens from Game Of Thrones, and described the House of Lords as a “red leather-upholstered, gold-plated Narnia”.
He told MPs: “The first thing you’ve got to try and not do when you consider this Bill is to try not to laugh. Not to laugh out loud at the sheer ridiculousness of considering, in 2024, whether places should be reserved in our legislature for a curious subset of a particular class of person based on birthright.”
He later added: “I suppose in some sort of way, they’re our own Baratheons and Targaryens, only without the fun, without the dragons and the box office appeal. But it’s now time to break the wheel. For them down the corridor there, winter must be coming.”
“That is why I am so proud that my party will never put anybody in that red leather-upholstered, gold-plated Narnia,” he went on to say.
Conservative former minister Richard Holden said he supported the principle of removing hereditary peers, but “as part of a broader package of measures”.
The Basildon and Billericay MP also argued that peers should have a mandatory retirement age, as judges do.
He said: “I would be quite interested to hear from the Government front bench as to how they can justify a mandatory retirement age of 75 for those who interpret the law, but not having a mandatory retirement age for those who make the law.”
Reform UK deputy leader Richard Tice said he was a “big fan of reform” of the House of Lords and urged the Government to “get on with it”.

Donald Trump isn’t happy with how he’s being portrayed in The Apprentice, the biopic based on his rise to power, and his relationship with his infamous, McCarthy-enabling mentor, dirty tricks attorney Roy Cohn. But then again, when is that man ever happy?
One of the greatest feats The Apprentice achieves is convincing the audience that a man as attractive as Sebastian Stan could be Donald Trump. Oh, and I guess making the real Donald Trump throw a tantrum was great too, although we were all kind of expecting such a reaction out of the former president/convicted felon.
Trump took to Truth Social to make his thoughts on the movie known, and in his signature stream-of-consciousness ranting style complete with RANDOM CAPITALIZATION, he expressed a deep dissatisfaction with the angle the film took. He also threw in a bit of name calling towards writer/producer Gabriel Sherman, and accused all involved of trying to derail his election campaign.
That’s funny, “fake” and “classless” are the two words I would use to describe Donald Trump — it seems like they really hit the nail on the head with this movie, if you ask me. He calls the film “cheap” and “defamatory,” but let’s not forget which political candidate is the one who constantly lies through their teeth? That’s right, Donald Trump. So it’s just a little hypocritical of the businessman to be calling out this movie for pulling the same kind of tactics he himself would use.
Donald Trump’s rant is all the advertising the film needs
The screenshot of the post was shared to X by the official The Apprentice movie account with the caption, “We couldn’t think of a better endorsement.” It was obvious this film was going to get under Donald’s skin, and in that sense, it accomplished what it set out to do. Many agreed that Trump’s rant makes for some damn fine advertising, even if he didn’t intend it to.
Nice to see Donald Trump promoting the movie about himself.
— KT "Special CIA Operation" (@KremlinTrolls) October 14, 2024
One individual pointed out another example of Trump’s hypocrisy regarding permission to use the name The Apprentice.
Love him questioning the right to use that name when he blatantly uses music by artists who tell him he cannot and send cease and desist letters that his team ignores.
— Probably a burner account (@probably_burner) October 14, 2024
This whole movie is just an exercise in giving Donald a taste of his own medicine, and it’s safe to say he doesn’t like it.
He doesn’t like it when the shoe is on the other foot does he! 😂 Poor Baby!
— Laura Stavro (@laura1952) October 14, 2024
If Trump had his way, I’m sure he’d be played by an attractive and fit actor who saves America from the people he so often likes to refer to as “scum.” Of course, finding an actor who would support Trump’s vision for his film but at the same time isn’t a washed up, bitter, has-been (looking at you Kevin Sorbo) would be an almost impossible challenge.

GEORGE TOWN: The Penang government is confident that the Mutiara Line Light Rail Transit (LRT) Project will take off before the end of the year.
Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said it is understood that final-stage negotiations are being held between Mass Rapid Transit Corporation Sdn Bhd (MRT Corp), as the implementation agency, and contractors SRS Consortium to finalise technical-related issues and the contract value.
He said the negotiations involved the construction of components for the first segment of the project, namely from Silicon Island to Komtar here.
“Once finalised, the next stage is to ink the agreement between both parties before starting work.
“We know that many announcements have been made about wanting to start the project in the final quarter of this year,” he told reporters at a media conference in his office in Komtar here today.
Previously, local media had reported that the groundbreaking ceremony for the Mutiara Line LRT project would be held in December, with the first station to be built in Lebuh Macallum and that Transport Minister Anthony Loke is said to have approved the date to start work on the 29-kilometre (km) project.
Elaborating, Chow said the state government also wished to see work on the project take off as scheduled.
However, he said, the actual date for the groundbreaking ceremony would have to be announced by the Ministry of Transport or MRT Corp since it is a federal project.
On March 29, Loke announced that the federal government had officially taken over the LRT Mutiara Line project from the state government, with MRT Corp as the developer and asset owner.
The project is divided into three components, namely the civil construction works for Segment 1 covering the Silicon Island to Komtar alignment; the civil construction works for Segment 2 involving the Komtar to Penang Sentral alignment; and the turnkey contract for systems and rolling stocks works on a build-maintain-transfer (BMT) basis.
The LRT Mutiara Line, to be linked to Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) and ETS train services, is expected to begin operations in 2030.

Kingsmill survivor criticises ‘cruel withholding’ of Police Ombudsman report
Alan Black says he fears he will go to his grave without getting answers about the mass killing by republican terrorists in 1976.
The sole survivor of the Kingsmill Massacre has lambasted the “withholding” of a Police Ombudsman report into the atrocity as “cruel”.
Alan Black, 81, has described himself as being in poor health and said he fears he will go to his grave before finding out answers he has campaigned decades for.
Ten of Mr Black’s colleagues died and he was seriously wounded when republican terrorists posing as British soldiers ordered the workmen off a bus on the way home from work outside the village of Kingsmill in Co Armagh in January 1976.
They were asked their religion, and the only Catholic was ordered to run away.
The killers forced the 11 remaining men to line up outside the van before opening fire.
Mr Black survived despite being shot multiple times.
No-one has ever been convicted of the murders, which the Provisional IRA denied.
However in April following a long-running inquest, a coroner ruled that the shooting dead of the 10 Protestant workmen at Kingsmill was an “overtly sectarian attack by the IRA”.
Mr Black said they expected the publication of the Police Ombudsman report following the conclusion of the inquest, but are continuing to wait.
He has issued a second pre-application protocol letter to the office of the Police Ombudsman to try and secure the report.
He visited Stormont on Thursday along with Karen Armstrong, sister of victim John McConville, for a meeting with DUP Policing Board member Joanne Bunting.
“Why the Ombudsman’s office is doing this, and me in particular in bad health, I just do not know. It’s cruel, it really is cruel,” he said.
Asked how he felt when he saw a public inquiry announced into the murder of Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane, Mr Black said: “Everyone’s entitled, anyone who was taken the way Pat Finucane was taken is entitled, but we’re entitled as well.
“Why are we being passed from pillar to post, first with the inquest and now the Ombudsman, why are they doing this to us?
“They don’t want to open this can of worms, that’s my opinion. But that can of worms has to be opened. It can’t be allowed to fester. I’m 81, will I make 82, will we have that report.
“We have men dead over 40 years, I’m the only one that lived, I owe them and I will have to keep fighting and get whoever we can on our side.”
Ms Armstrong said they had been told by Ombudsman investigators that the report was completed in 2020, and questioned why the hold up.
She said her brother went to work that morning and never came home.
“We were left with basically no answers, even those first few weeks, we were reading information in newspapers, any detail we got were from newspapers, no-one from any position in security or government came to tell us anything,” she said.
“And that’s how we lived with Kingsmill for a long time. It was very, very difficult and still is to this day.
“John had plans, he wanted to go to college and study to be a missionary.
“We want truth. We haven’t even got an inch of that, and that’s what is wrong.”
Ms Bunting said Mr Black has used money in his legal action that he had saved for his funeral.
“It is appalling that some 48 years after this most brutal callous and sectarian of murders that caused embarrassment even for the IRA that to get to the truth, these families are still having to fight the very systems that were set up to support them,” she said.
“Mr Black is now 81 and in poor health. He has endured an eight-year inquest which frankly raised more questions than provided answers and as a result he has pinned his hopes for getting truth on the Police Ombudsman report, but he fears he may not live to see it.
“This matter should have been resolved and the report issued as soon as the inquest was over. The initial complaint was made in 2013.
“This is no way to treat innocent victims. It is shameful.”
A spokesperson for the Office of the Police Ombudsman said: “Given potential legal proceedings, it would be inappropriate to comment.
“However, we can confirm that we intend to provide the findings of our investigation in respect of the Kingsmill murders and attempted murder to those families and victims who brought related complaints and concerns to the Police Ombudsman.
“This will be within the timeframe determined by the transitional arrangements, which is prior to May 1, 2025.”

The St. Louis Cardinals are in a tough position. After missing the postseason and finishing 83-79 during the regular season, the team looks prepared to enter a rebuild.
Players on high-value contracts are likely to be traded. This includes Sonny Gray, Willson Contreras, and Nolan Arenado.
There are several teams who need a bat that could also give St. Louis some young, cost-controlled pitching. Zachary D. Rymer of Bleacher Report proposed the idea of the Seattle Mariners trading right-hander Bryce Miller in exchange for a bat.
Perhaps St. Louis could acquire him in exchange for one of their two bats.
"According to Adam Jude of the Seattle Times, the team is 'open to anything' with trade scenarios. If that includes choosing Miller as the arm to be sacrificed for a bat, then so be it," Rymer wrote. "As a 26-year-old with club control through 2029, he's a rarely valuable piece in the abstract."
The Cardinals have been short on pitching at the minor league level since making the trade that sent Zac Gallen and Sandy Alcantara to the Miami Marlins.
Having an extra controllable arm or two as they prepare to prioritize their young core wouldn't hurt. Miller went 12-8 with a 2.94 ERA in 31 starts, pitching 180 1/3 innings and striking out 171 batters.
He could profile as a middle-of-the-rotation arm for St. Louis as they try to rebuild their pitching and get younger. This season, he proved he's capable of eating innings and generating swings and misses, which is something St. Louis will need.
Receiving Major League ready talent could also help the Cardinals expedite their rebuilding process and bounce back into contention as soon as possible, perhaps by 2026.
It will be interesting to see how St. Louis approaches the offseason and who they'll ultimately offload as part of their rebuild.

Rushmore, The Reader, The Graduate, Breakfast at Tiffany’s — you name it. The older-woman-falls-for-younger-man-and-vice-versa rom-com has been around forever, but it’s only recently that the streaming world seems to have relentlessly embraced it.
And, of course, it’s an embracement to a fault. The Idea of You on Prime Video was a strong take on the subgenre, but so far, Netflix hasn’t been able to stick a similar landing. A Family Affair, tragically unable to focus on the right characters, was the first misfire, and we’re currently in the presence of another. We know this because, as is natural for relatively limp rom-coms, this particular one is dominating the charts.
Per FlixPatrol, this day of Oct. 15 has seen Lonely Planet soar to the lonely top of the worldwide Netflix film charts. It stars Laura Dern as successful writer Katherine Loewe, who’s in the middle of separating from her partner as she travels to Morocco for a writing retreat. Also present is finance manager Owen Brophy (Liam Hemsworth), who attends the retreat as a plus-one for his debut author girlfriend Lily Kemp (Diana Silvers). Over the course of the trip, Owen becomes increasingly aware of his incompatibility with Lily in equal measure to his enjoyment around Katherine.
The sophomore directorial effort of Susannah Grant (who most famously penned the screenplay for Erin Brockovich, and also wrote Disney’s Pocahontas, Ever After, and her directorial debut Catch and Release), Lonely Planet is simply too relaxed for its own good, even in the context of a genre more-or-less defined by its comfortability and the occasional morsel of wisdom. One can barely critique the plot’s loose ends because you’re never too invested in the first place, and while there’s feasible charm between its two leads, the world around them is too committed to its thoughtless triteness for the film to hold any meaningful space.
Speaking of rom-coms that aren’t particularly meaningful, Venom: Let There Be Carnage is currently shoring up seventh place on the charts, no doubt having its successor Venom: The Last Dance — due in theaters on Oct. 25 — to thank for this surge in popularity, because lord knows the excruciatingly limited merits of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe aren’t to thank. Indeed, no matter how entertaining the dynamic between the symbiote and Eddie Brock is here, a paltry script is always and will forever be a death sentence.
Conversely, a cracklingly intelligent script is an almost foolproof cinematic springboard, as demonstrated by It’s What’s Inside, the Netflix original sci-fi-horror-comedy occupying 10th place on the charts. In the film, a group of twenty-somethings utilize a body-swapping machine to play a game where they have to guess who’s in whose body, and things go south in the blink of an eye.
The logistical dexterity of writer-director Greg Jardin’s script — which succeeds at the unenviable task of weaving together an intriguing plot while juggling eight mixed-and-matched identities — makes for a satisfying watch on its own, but the film’s haunting observations about bodies and desire and the discordant potential of the human condition is what truly packs this story’s punch. The direction, at times dizzying and at other times revelatory, makes for some mighty fine visual packaging as well.

GEORGE TOWN: The Penang government is fully prepared to face the monsoon transition phase and the king tide phenomenon expected to occur this weekend, said Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow.
He said the current focus is on preparing to open temporary relief centres if necessary, as well as arranging logistics to assist in case of flood disasters.
“The State Disaster Management Unit usually monitors and reviews all forecasts and warnings from the Malaysian Meteorological Department, and we (the state government) will focus on readiness from all aspects.
“In addition, related agencies must also be on high alert to deal with any possible situations,“ he said at a press conference at his office in Komtar here today.
Chow also said the Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) is constantly monitoring the turbidity levels of raw water at the Lahar Tiang intake in Seberang Perai due to heavy rain and floods in several upstream areas of Sungai Muda.
The latest reports indicate that the turbidity level is around 470 NTU (nephelometric turbidity units), exceeding the normal reading of 200 NTU, but the situation is under control and does not affect operations at the Sungai Dua Water Treatment Plant (LRA).
“PBAPP will continue to monitor the situation as the source of the turbidity stems from flooding in upstream areas, particularly in the Baling district. I also believe that after the floods two years ago, PBAPP has upgraded its system to handle higher NTU levels so as not to affect the raw water treatment work at the Sungai Dua LRA,“ he said.
He added that the state government has also approved the implementation of various flood mitigation projects this year to reduce the impact of floods, in addition to major federal government projects.
On another matter, Chow said the iconic ferry which tilted and was close to sinking after a reported bottom leak last Wednesday could be restored.
He said a company had been contracted by the Penang Port Commission (SPPP) to restore the ferry, which is expected to start operating as the Penang Ferry Museum by the end of this year.
The Pulau Pinang ferry, which was recently towed from Bagan Dalam Slipway to the Swettenham Pier Cruise Terminal on Oct 3, is undergoing modifications to become the Penang Ferry Museum before being placed at Tanjung City Marina.
The ferry, which was originally semi-submerged in Bagan Dalam in 2021, is being actively restored by Printhero Merchandise Sdn Bhd to be converted into a museum.

It doesn't matter your age or experience: taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for all investors. Luckily, Zacks Premium offers several different ways to do both.
The popular research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor, giving you access to daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens.
Zacks Premium also includes the Zacks Style Scores.
What are the Zacks Style Scores?
The Zacks Style Scores, developed alongside the Zacks Rank, are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing methodologies; they also help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics, each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F. The better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform; an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value Score
Finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value, are what value investors like to focus on. So, the Value Style Score takes into account ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to highlight the most attractive and discounted stocks.
Growth Score
Growth investors are more concerned with a stock's future prospects, and the overall financial health and strength of a company. Thus, the Growth Style Score analyzes characteristics like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will see sustainable growth over time.
Momentum Score
Momentum traders and investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." This investing style is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Employing factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, the Momentum Style Score can indicate favorable times to build a position in high-momentum stocks.
VGM Score
If you like to use all three kinds of investing, then the VGM Score is for you. It's a combination of all Style Scores, and is an important indicator to use with the Zacks Rank. The VGM Score rates each stock on their shared weighted styles, narrowing down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank
A proprietary stock-rating model, the Zacks Rank utilizes the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings outlook, to help investors create a successful portfolio.
It's highly successful, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +25.41% average annual return since 1988. That's more than double the S&P 500. But because of the large number of stocks we rate, there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
This totals more than 800 top-rated stocks, and it can be overwhelming to try and pick the best stocks for you and your portfolio.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
To maximize your returns, you want to buy stocks with the highest probability of success. This means picking stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you find yourself looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, make sure they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.
As mentioned above, the Scores are designed to work with the Zacks Rank, so any change to a company's earnings outlook should be a deciding factor when picking which stocks to buy.
For instance, a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one that boasts Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings forecast, and a much greater likelihood its share price will decline as well.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

Based in Minnesota, C.H. Robinson Worldwide Inc. is a third-party logistics company. As a asset-light transportation provider, C.H. Robinson provides freight transportation services and logistic solutions to companies across a range of industries. The company's services range from commitments on a specific shipment to more comprehensive and integrated relationships.
CHRW is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of B.
Momentum investors should take note of this Transportation stock. CHRW has a Momentum Style Score of A, and shares are up 9.8% over the past four weeks.
For fiscal 2024, five analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.09 to $4.16 per share. CHRW boasts an average earnings surprise of 7.3%.
With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Momentum and VGM Style Scores, CHRW should be on investors' short list.

Soto, Stanton Homers, Yankees Take ALCS Opener
NEW YORK -- — Juan Soto's home run punctured Cleveland pitching, which then went wild.
Soto put New York ahead in a three-run third inning, Carlos Rodón got his first postseason win and the Yankees beat the Guardians 5-2 on Monday night in an AL Championship Series opener that included Cleveland throwing five wild pitches and walking nine batters.
OUCH! Cleveland became the second team to throw a pair of run-scoring wild pitches in a postseason inning and tied a postseason record with five overall. Guardians pitchers walked six in a nine-batter span and nine overall.
Soto hit his first postseason homer for New York when he drove a high slider from Alex Cobb into the Yankees’ bullpen in right-center.
Rodón rebounded from the Yankees’ only loss in the Division Series, limiting the Guardians to a pair of singles before Brayan Rocchio’s sixth-inning homer.
Game 2 is at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night. Coverage begins at 6:00 PM on ESPN 102.3/AM 1000 KSOO.

Teenager found not guilty of endangering life with fire at London Oratory School
A major incident was declared after smoke and flames broke out in the atrium of the London Oratory School in Fulham on December 27 last year.
A 16-year-old boy has been cleared by a judge of endangering life after starting a fire at a prestigious Catholic school in west London.
A major incident was declared after smoke and orange flames broke out in the atrium of the London Oratory School in Fulham on December 27 last year.
The youth, who cannot be named because of his age, was arrested by police on the same day and initially denied a charge of arson before later pleading guilty to the offence on September 2.
He was also charged with arson with recklessness for endangering life and assaulting an emergency worker and denied both offences.
During a judgment hearing at Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, district judge Andrew Sweet ruled the endangering life charge should be dismissed as he believed the defendant “did consider his actions” and “was intending to try and harm himself rather than anyone else”.
The teenager wrote a note of apology and made a 999 call immediately after the fire, but also kicked a responding police constable, the court heard.
Mr Sweet ruled the defendant’s behaviour towards the officer was “reckless” and found him guilty of assaulting an emergency worker.
The youth appeared in court in person for the hearing alongside members of his family.
The judge released the defendant on conditional bail to next appear for sentencing at the same court on November 12.

The Baltimore Orioles were swept by the Kansas City Royals in the American League Wild Card Series. They could look to move some of their young pieces while the value is high this offseason.
While proposing unpopular trade ideas for each team, Bleacher Report's Zachary D. Rymer urged the Orioles to trade Jordan Westburg this winter.
"The expression "good problem to have" comes to mind, but it's nonetheless fair to raise the point that the Orioles have more young hitters than they're going to have at-bats for," wrote Rymer. "Should they seek to subtract from this surplus, Westburg is a sensible selection on multiple fronts."
Westburg was an All-Star in 2023 for the first time in his young career. However, he plays the same position as the Orioles' top prospect Coby Mayo. Mayo made his debut last season and is three years younger than Westburg.
"For starters, the 25-year-old's value is up after an All-Star season," Rymer wrote of reasons to trade Westburg. "There's also how his right-handed swing suffers a power penalty at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, where the left field wall is miles away from home plate."
The Orioles could move Westburg to another position in the infield, but the Orioles simply have too many young talents. Westburg, like all right-handers is hindered by the deep left field wall in Baltimore. Mayo is also a right-hander but brings more power than Westburg.
"The expression 'good problem to have' comes to mind, but it's nonetheless fair to raise the point that the Orioles have more young hitters than they're going to have at-bats for," wrote Rymer.

Oh, the joys of working in the service industry are truly infinite. One of the best perks? Having to kiss up to unmitigated douchecanoe customers in the merest hopes of chasing a decent tip. One TikTok user knows how this feels after she served a devout MAGA couple who awkwardly assumed that their waitress was a fellow passenger on the Donald Trump crazy train.
“I don’t talk about politics on here but I’m still reeling from this one,” TikToker Kate Swisher captioned her video. Kate explains that she was serving a married couple their drinks when the woman randomly said to her “I know who you’re voting for” in a sing-song voice. Not knowing what she was talking about, she left without responding, but when she came back with their food, the woman asked again: “Only a month left, I bet you’re excited.”
Kate’s confusion continued until it was time to bring them the bill, at which point the husband asked her to wait a moment so he could give her a tip in cash. “Only one month left until you don’t have to pay taxes on tips anymore!” the wife sing-sung again. Finally understanding what was happening, Kate politely told the woman that she doesn’t think Trump can really get Congress to pass a bill to ban taxes on tips. “Oh, don’t worry about that, he’s gonna get rid of all them, anyway.”
Wait, Kate asked, you mean the taxes or the United States House of Representatives? “Oh yeah,” MAGA mom replied. “He’s gonna get rid of all them. He’s gonna restructure the entire government.” Kate then admits that the couple hadn’t tipped her yet so she was forced to listen to the whole spiel, nodding and replying politely, all while her soul silently exited her body.
Kate was clearly uncomfortable with the conversation, though, and the wife got annoyed. “You act like you want to pay taxes?” she questioned. Kate then explained why she didn’t mind paying taxes, assuming they were “fair and equitable,” and why she wouldn’t want to avoid paying taxes herself if all her co-workers still did. This is when the woman dropped her ultimate, undeniable argument: “Don’t question it. Don’t question him.” The woman added, “I think he has a plan. Just trust it.” Kate sums it up when she stares at the camera for a long while before finally saying, “Is this a cult?”
This woman’s blind faith in America’s Orangest President, a devotion apparently so absolute that it would put Dennis Quaid to shame, has left the people of TikTok shaken. “To your question, yes,” one wrote, regarding Kate’s cult comment. Others, meanwhile, sense something familiar about Kate’s story. “Was that my mom?” one commenter quipped.
Some quite accurately pointed out that the woman’s entire line of reasoning for why Kate should vote Trump is flawed: although the two are rarely on the same side, both Trump and Kamala Harris support the “no taxes for tips” notion. The former first floated the idea in June, before Harris adopted the same position in August. It might sound nifty in theory, but some are concerned the move will become a loophole for the wealthy to receive hefty bonuses disguised as “tips.”
The biggest thing that’s concerning folks about Kate’s tale, though? She never even told us if Mr. and Mrs. MAGA left her a tip. “But were you actually tipped??” asked one comment, desperate for an answer, to which someone replied with a thread-winning response: “They left a concept of a tip.”

KANGAR: The Perlis branch of the Royal Malaysian Customs Department has seized three vehicles, including a luxury car with a Langkawi duty-free registration plate, valued at over RM1.1 million, for allegedly overstaying in a Customs Main Area (KUK).
Perlis Customs director Ismail Hashim said the cars were confiscated during separate inspections, with the first involving a Mazda 2.0 SKYACTIV Sedan, estimated to be worth RM50,000, with RM78,500 in taxes, at about 1 pm on Sept 26.
“On the same day, another vehicle, a Toyota Camry, valued at RM55,000 with taxes of RM86,570, was seized by Customs during an inspection at about 3.30 pm. Both cars were inspected at the Kuala Perlis Enforcement Branch of the Customs Office,“ he told a press conference today.
Ismail added that another vehicle, a luxury Porsche 982 Cayman GT4 RS, valued at RM1 million with taxes of RM1.9 million, was confiscated during an inspection at the Perlis Customs Complex at 6.20 pm on Oct 1.
He said initial investigations showed that all the vehicles were suspected of staying in the KUK beyond the 90 days permitted under Item 14, Part I of the Customs Duty (Exemption) Order 2017. The case is being investigated under Section 135(1)(d) of the Customs Act 1967.
Ismail said Perlis Customs also seized various types of cigarettes and alcoholic beverages believed to be smuggled, with a total value of RM18,127, in two separate inspections in Perak in September.

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

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

A California boy is ready to cheer on the Los Angeles Dodgers with his impressive Halloween costume.
Mom Cheyanne Cortez recently shared a TikTok post of her 9-year-old son Ryan dressed up as the baseball card for the Dodgers' ace pitcher Shohei Ohtani. His homemade costume was complete with detailed statistics for Ohtani, a two-way player, who is both a designated hitter and starting pitcher.
"When your kiddo collects (baseball) cards and is (obsessed) with Ohtani had to be crafty this year for my (baby's) costume," Cortez captioned the short video clip.
Cortez also told Storyful that Ryan is a super fan of the Dodgers, who signed two-time American League MVP Ohtani, nicknamed "Showtime," in a record-breaking $700 million contract in December 2023.
"He is a huge Dodgers fan and loves Ohtani. He is Ryan's favorite baseball player ever," Cortez said. "He has played baseball since he was four and has been attending Dodger games since he was a baby."

Teenager seen on CCTV with McDonald’s hours after boys were killed, jury told
Images show the 16-year-old returning to a property in the Hartcliffe area of Bristol carrying a takeaway, Bristol Crown Court heard.
A 16-year-old boy picked up takeaway food and drinks just hours after allegedly being involved in a murderous attack on two teenagers, a jury was told.
The teenager, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, was captured on CCTV returning to a property in the Hartcliffe area of Bristol carrying a McDonald’s meal.
It is alleged he purchased the food six hours after being involved in the fatal assault on Mason Rist and Max Dixon shortly after 11pm on January 27 this year in Knowle West.
It is the prosecution’s case the 16-year-old was involved with Antony Snook, 45; Riley Tolliver, 18; and two boys aged 17 and 15, in murdering the two boys.
Snook is alleged to have driven the four teenagers to Ilminster Avenue in an Audi Q2 car where Mason, 15, and Max, 16, were attacked.
Bristol Crown Court heard how the boys, who were good friends, were then set upon by the teenagers armed with weapons.
They had been wrongly identified as being responsible for bricks being thrown at a house in the Hartcliffe area of Bristol earlier that evening, the jury of nine men and three women has been told.
Mason and Max sustained fatal stab injuries and both died in hospital later.
The five defendants were each charged with two counts of murder.
The 15-year-old boy has admitted murdering Mason but denies murdering Max.
The 17-year-old boy has admitted manslaughter relating to Max but denies murdering him and Mason.
Snook is alleged to have driven the Audi Q2, while Tolliver and the three teenage boys are said to have been passengers, the jury previously heard.
On Tuesday, Ray Tully KC, prosecuting, took the jury through multiple CCTV clips showing the movements of some of the defendants in the hours after the attack.
Part of the footage, which was released to the media after being played in court, shows the Audi travelling along Pawlett Road minutes after the attack before arriving at an address in Hartcliffe shortly after.
The jury were told Snook was allegedly driving, while the 17-year-old boy was first to exit the vehicle, followed by the 16-year-old, before the car is driven away.
They also saw footage of a fire being lit in the back garden and items linked to the attack allegedly being disposed of.
Mr Tully previously told how the property in the Hartcliffe area – which he said had a “rivalry” with the Knowle West area – was targeted at about 10pm on January 27.
CCTV footage showed people outside the house holding machetes and throwing bricks at the windows. A woman was left injured in the incident.
An hour later, Snook, Tolliver and the three teenage boys allegedly left the Hartcliffe area in Snook’s car armed with “fearsome weapons” and “hell-bent on revenge”, Mr Tully said.
They drove past Mason and Max, who had just left Mason’s home, and wrongly believed they had spotted those responsible for the attack.
Mr Tully previously told the jury: “They were entirely wrong about that. Max and Mason had absolutely nothing to do with any earlier incident and no connection whatsoever with those events.”
The boys were found lying fatally wounded on Ilminster Avenue and treated at the scene by police and paramedics.
Mason was pronounced dead at Bristol Children’s Hospital at 12.49am, while Max was pronounced dead at Southmead Hospital at 1.02am.
Home Office pathologist Dr Russell Delaney concluded that both boys died from stab wounds.
Snook was arrested at his home address about an hour after the incident, which took place shortly after 11pm on January 27, and the other defendants were arrested in the following days.
The trial continues.

It's hard to say 2024 was a "disappointing" season for the San Diego Padres, but it certainly felt as though they could have gone farther.
The Padres were unceremoniously dumped from the National League playoffs by the hated Los Angeles Dodgers and were shut out by Dodgers pitching in the final two games of the series. For as deep and talented as the Padres lineup and pitching staff were, it felt like a real letdown.
Make no mistake, the Padres' goal is to make it to a World Series in 2025. That could require some bold moves this winter, and perhaps even some unpopular ones.
The Padres made a trade to acquire now-three-time batting champion Luis Arraez from the Miami Marlins back in May. Bleacher Report's Zachary D. Rymer proposed on Tuesday that the Padres could turn around trade Arraez elsewhere this winter.
"In all seriousness, the Padres should at least be willing to listen on Arraez this winter. The alternative is running headlong into a $14.6 million projected salary, and they shouldn't be overly willing to do so," Rymer said.
"That is a lot of money for a guy who, despite all the hits, was only worth 1.1 rWAR this year. It's also money they could then reinvest in Jurickson Profar and/or Ha-Seong Kim in free agency."
Determining Arraez's value is going to be a tremendous conundrum for years to come. He wins batting titles, yet he doesn't walk and doesn't hit for power. His .738 OPS this season was sandwiched between Isaac Paredes and Shea Langeliers on the MLB leaderboard.
Because Arraez is so limited, yet so excellent at his one true skill, it's hard to predict whether another team would give up significant capital to acquire him. He gets a ton of hits, but he's also only suited to play first base, which is not a position of need for many other teams.
Arraez will continue to be a confusing, yet enthralling player in 2025. It remains to be seen whether he will do so on the Padres or some other ballclub.

Donald Trump has become known, after what feels like a century on the political stage, for his weird antics. His rambling answers, strange rally behavior, and boundlessly circular logic have become defining attributes, and even then he commonly outdoes himself.
Take the presidential candidate’s Oct. 14 town hall, which quickly spiraled into cartoonish nonsense. The former president spent the first half of his Colonizer Day (aka Columbus Day) appearance in classic style, ranting and raving about our country going to hell without him at its helm, but things took a turn in the second half. After two separate attendees experienced medical issues during the Q&A portion of the evening, Trump just decided to ditch the format entirely.
Rather than answer pressing questions posed by voters less than one month ahead of the election, Trump decided he was done speaking. But, since his event still had a planned 30 minutes left, he didn’t depart the stage or announce to his supporters that the town hall was over — he just turned the whole shebang into the worst concert since the Red Hot Chili Peppers bungled their 1992 SNL appearance.
Rather than do anything a logical brain could think up, Trump went with the weirdest, most off-putting alternative to actually answering voter questions. He simply played himself out, over an excruciating 30 minutes, delivering a jilted, stiff, awkward dance from the stage, while watching his baffled followers slowly trickle out. A bulk of the event’s attendees were gone by the time the last song played, but a few stuck around to the very end, no doubt curious as to what the hell Trump was doing.
They didn’t get any answers, and neither did we, but the event did produce one of the strangest clips of election season so far. Various moments from the event’s conclusion, as Trump stood alongside a wild-eyed and squirming Kristi Noem, have since made their way to social media, where viewers have drawn their own conclusions about the presidential candidate’s mental state.
Several new phrases and hashtags quickly found their foothold on X, in the wake of damning clips, proclaiming that #TrumpIsNotWell, informing his followers that its #TimeToSayGoodbye to a man who truly appears to be grappling with dementia, and pondering the stark potential of a President JD Vance.
The baffling decision to pivot from an informative town hall to a cringe-inducing concert is certainly weird, which also makes it perfectly on-brand for Trump. He doesn’t have answers to voter questions anyway, so why not transform a planned event into something no one would ever pay to attend? The choice of music was disjointed and clashing — “YMCA” simply doesn’t belong on a playlist with “Nothing Compares 2 U” and “Hallelujah”— Trump’s “dancing” was as laughable as always, and even his own team — Noem included — looked confused and concerned as they worked to support the former president’s apparent episode.
Trump, for his part, genuinely seems to be losing a little bit more control over his faculties with each passing day. His appearances are getting stranger, his speeches are getting harder to understand — a massive feat unto itself — and his own supporters are starting to see through the brainrot to the meandering old man beneath. Trump’s team can try to conceal it all they want, but his diminishing mental state gets clearer by the day, and voters can’t help but notice.

KUALA LUMPUR: Various agencies will work together to implement a rehabilitation action plan for members of GISB Holdings Sdn Bhd (GISBH), addressing multiple aspects including faith rehabilitation, zakat assistance, and marriage review.
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr Mohd Na’im Mokhtar said the matter was agreed upon during a meeting of heads of the state Islamic religious councils or departments on Oct 1.
In terms of faith rehabilitation, he said it would be led by the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM), with the involvement of the State Islamic Religious Councils or State Islamic Religious Departments and other agencies such as the Social Welfare Department (JKM) and Akademi Kenegaraan Malaysia.
“This programme will be implemented for a maximum of 90 days or an appropriate period depending on the situation and condition after an evaluation is conducted on the participants, either individually or in groups,“ he said during a briefing on the GISBH issue in the Dewan Rakyat today.
Mohd Na’im said the marriage review would be led by the State Islamic Religious Departments, with coordination from JAKIM, JKM, and the National Registration Department.
“Zakat assistance will be handled by the Department of Wakaf, Zakat, and Haj, which will coordinate proposals for the livelihood assistance of GISBH members undergoing voluntary rehabilitation, from the respective State Islamic Religious Councils or zakat centres in states,“ he said.
He said the rehabilitation action plan adopts existing rehabilitation modules from the Selangor Islamic Religious Council (MAIS) and the Social Welfare Department’s children’s modules, based on the syllabus of the Quran and Fardu Ain (KAFA) Classes Education System and the Spiritual Empowerment Module for Children in JKM Institutions, with some improvements.
Regarding the provision of rehabilitation centres, Mohd Na’im requested the cooperation of the State Islamic Religious Councils and State Islamic Religious Departments to propose the number, capacity, and location of centres under their supervision for the purpose of voluntary rehabilitation placement.
Meanwhile, he informed that four states had issued fatwas declaring GISBH’s teachings as deviant, with Perlis being the first, followed by Selangor, Pahang, and Melaka.
