New Orleans started 2-0 in 2024, an encouraging sign for the team’s postseason outlook. Since then, however, little (if anything) has gone according to plan, with the offense suffering multiple injuries and the defense struggling to overcome a number of issues. On Sunday, the Saints lost to the Panthers in unwanted fashion. New Orleans outgained Carolina by a margin of over 150 yards while topping that figure on the ground and winning the turnover battle; over the past 20 years, no team had lost under those circumstances until yesterday (h/t ESPN’s Bill Barnwell). No one contest is at the heart…

Police stand guard in front of a hotel a day ahead of the COP16 United Nations biodiversity conference in Cali, Colombia, on 19 OctoberFernando Vergara/AP/Alamy Biodiversity loss is a crisis – and it is now clearer than ever that the world is not moving fast enough to fix it. The COP16 summit in Cali, Colombia, fizzled out in overtime last weekend, with too few countries still in attendance to agree on a global plan to halt the decline of nature. “Unfortunately, too many countries and UN officials came to Cali without the urgency and level of ambition needed to secure…
At his final campaign rally of the 2024 cycle, Trump sowed uncertainty about the upcoming ballot counting process, again asserting that paper ballots are safer and more efficient. “Well maybe it will take these machines that we pay so much for two weeks. Can you believe it?” Trump said. “You know, have you used very highly sophisticated watermark papers, very simple. It’s more sophisticated than the machines.” Finishing his speech in the early hours of Election Day, Trump set expectations for the results of the race and projected he has a 95% chance of victory. The former president has routinely claimed that…
Like many innovators, Hagit Messer-Yaron had a life-changing idea while doing something mundane: Talking with a colleague over a cup of coffee. The IEEE Life Fellow, who in 2006 was head of Tel Aviv University’s Porter School of Environmental Studies, was at the school’s cafeteria with a meteorological researcher. He shared his struggles with finding high-resolution weather data for his climate models, which are used to forecast and track flash floods.Predicting floods is crucial for quickly evacuating residents in affected areas and protecting homes and businesses against damage.

QUESTION: Marty, I have been using Socrates to bet on the elections. So far, so good. What do you expect between a Harris vs Trump victory? JF ANSWER: It shows that a Harris victory would result in virtually World War III very fast. Putin knows his adversaries, and to placate his own Neocons, he would probably launch an all-out war to eliminate Ukraine, which he has not done. His Neocons have criticized him that he should have invaded Ukraine as the USA did to Iraq, and the war would have been over in 6 weeks. They have been screaming this…

WASHINGTON: As Americans prepare to vote on Election Day on Tuesday (Nov 5), officials are calling for patience as they tally ballots in what could be a historically close presidential race – and warning that it could take days to find out who has won. Under the US system, citizens do not vote directly for their leader. Instead, their ballots elect the 538 members of a group called the Electoral College, which then elects the president and vice president. Each state casts its Electoral College votes for the candidate that won its popular vote. Bigger states, with more representatives in the…
Experts also warn that the fevered rhetoric around immigration in the unfolding election could worsen a humanitarian crisis at the border and make it easier to justify harsh policies. Last year, the International Organization for Migration, a United Nations entity, named the journey across the US-Mexico border the “deadliest land route for migrants worldwide on record”. “There’s a lot at stake in terms of how this country wants to live,” Father Ray Riding, who volunteers with deportees and asylum seekers, told Al Jazeera. “When you dehumanise people, you can do whatever you want to them.” In order to avoid a web…
