Samsung has finally responded to the One UI 8 battery draining problem affecting users of Galaxy phones and watches. The company explains why users see a sudden decline in battery life after installing the One UI 8 update.
On September 15, Samsung started the One UI 8 update rollout. Starting with the Galaxy S25 series, the update was gradually expanded to dozens of devices. One UI 8 Watch update is also rolled out to the Watch Ultra and Watch 7.
Galaxy users are complaining about the battery drain problem on community forums and social media. They are asking others if they are also facing the same issue and seeking a fix to improve the battery life declined after the update.
Users are filling the Samsung Community with criticisms about reduced battery life after the One UI 8 update. One of the comments reads, “I wonder if Samsung is unaware of the fast battery drain issue or if they simply have no intention of fixing it.”
One user with a Galaxy S24 posted a question, “The battery is draining fast after the update, is there a solution?” Another user stated, “There’s almost no change compared to the previous version, but the battery drains faster.”
Reddit’s Samsung-related subreddits are also filled with similar complaints. A user named claimed, “I regret the One UI 8 update. When I was using One UI 7, the Screen-On Time (SOT) on my Galaxy S25 was about 7 hours, but now it’s only 5 hours.”
A Galaxy Watch 7 user also left a question: “After the update, if I leave home with a 100% charge and return, the battery only has about 20% left. Previously, it had about 70-80% remaining. Can I downgrade (revert to the previous version)?”
Commenting on some complaints, Samsung explained that the cause behind battery drain isn’t just the One UI 8 update. The decline is influenced by various factors, including app updates, different usage environments, and usage patterns.
Samsung recommends users report the problem via the Members app and keep the log file attached. It also sought detailed information to better evaluate what’s wrong with the devices that are ruining the battery life.
Samsung (via Chosun) responded to users, saying:
Battery consumption is complexly influenced by various factors, such as updates to installed apps, changes in the device’s usage environment, or usage patterns.

Galaxy S26 series and One UI 8.5 are stamped with each other, and they affect Galaxy S25 users as well. A delay in the next-gen flagships could also postpone the Beta launch of the new software and rollout to older devices as well.
Samsung has just unveiled its first TriFold device, scheduled for late 2025 release. Meanwhile, the S26 series is the most anticipated reveal. The software part has also become similarly awaited, given its scope of changes.
Samsung is running late with the development of the Galaxy S26 Plus. The company reportedly had no plans to bring the Plus model next year. Instead, it has almost finished developing the Galaxy S26 Edge as a Plus replacement.
Meanwhile, Samsung has canceled the S26 Edge at the last minute after determining no potential in the form factor. As a result, the Galaxy S26 Plus has rejoined the lineup, but the development may render Unpacked a little late.
If Samsung delays the Galaxy S26 series, the One UI 8.5 reveal will naturally be delayed. The new software is set to come preinstalled with the new flagships. The upcoming phones and software directly affect Galaxy S25 users.
Galaxy S25 series was rumored to get One UI 8.5 Beta in late November. With Samsung changing its plans, the Unpacked event seems to be pushed to March. That said, the Beta Program may also be delayed until early 2026.
Rumors suggest the One UI 8.5 Beta could be delayed, and the Galaxy S26 Plus is to be blamed. One UI 8 didn’t take much time to go official, but the update doesn’t seem like a major one despite bumping the Android version.
If you own a Galaxy S25 (or Plus or Ultra), the next couple of weeks are going to be quite important. If Samsung unveils the One UI 8.5 Beta, users will be able to access the new software advancements early, as the official release is likely in May 2026.

The Dogecoin price is fighting to hold the psychological $0.20 support as large investors continue offloading holdings and leveraged traders exit the market. The Dogecoin price briefly traded above $0.21 earlier this week, but has since slipped by more than 2%, highlighting the mounting selling pressure in the market.
Related Reading: Is The Dogecoin Bull Run Over? Analyst Predicts When DOGE Rallies Again
According to on-chain data, whales have sold over 500 million DOGE tokens in the past week, fueling fears of further downside. The selloff coincides with a sharp 61% drop in futures open interest, plunging from $5.03 billion to $1.95 billion, signaling widespread position liquidations and trader fatigue.
Derivatives data show declining participation across major exchanges, with traders closing out long positions rather than adding new exposure. Meanwhile, Dogecoin’s 24-hour trading volume surged 17.5% to nearly $2 billion, a sign that sellers remain in control even as overall market recovery stalls.
Technical indicators paint a similarly cautious picture. On the daily chart, the Dogecoin price is forming a potential “death cross” between the 50-day and 200-day exponential moving averages, a bearish pattern that often precedes a further drop.
If sustained selling continues, analysts warn the Dogecoin price could fall toward the $0.166 support, which aligns with the lower boundary of its long-term ascending trendline.
However, this same trendline has historically triggered strong rebounds. Previous retests have led to price recoveries of nearly 100%, leaving some traders optimistic that a similar setup could emerge if support holds firm.
Currently, Dogecoin price hovers near $0.20 with a market cap of $30.3 billion, holding above the critical psychological zone but struggling to regain upward momentum. The immediate resistance lies between $0.204 and $0.210, while a decisive close below $0.19 could accelerate losses toward $0.18–$0.166.
For now, the balance between whale distribution and new buyer demand will determine DOGE’s next move. If fresh inflows return and futures activity stabilizes, a recovery toward $0.23–$0.25 remains possible.

But without renewed conviction from large holders, the Dogecoin price risks extended consolidation, or a deeper retracement before the next bullish wave begins.

An analyst has explained how Solana could decide its next big move after rising to $210, the resistance level of a Parallel Channel.
In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has talked about how the trajectory of Solana is looking from the perspective of a technical analysis (TA) pattern. The pattern in question is a Parallel Channel, which forms whenever an asset’s price trades between two parallel trendlines.
The upper line of the channel is considered a source of resistance, meaning that tops can be probable to appear on retests of it. Similarly, the lower level is assumed to provide support to the price, helping it to arrive at bottoms. A breakout of either of these bounds can signal a continuation of the trend in that direction. That is, a surge above the Parallel Channel can be a bullish signal, while a drop under it may lead to bearish action.
There are a few different types of Parallel Channels, depending on how the channel is oriented with respect to the graph axes. Channels that have a positive slope are known as Ascending Channels, while those that slope downward are called Descending Channels.
In the context of the current topic, the third and simplest type is the one of interest: a Parallel Channel that’s also parallel to the time-axis. This case corresponds to a phase of true sideways consolidation in the asset.
Now, here is the chart shared by Martinez that shows the Parallel Channel that the 4-hour price of Solana has been stuck inside for the last couple of weeks:
As displayed in the above graph, Solana retested the lower level of the Parallel Channel last week and successfully found support. The cryptocurrency has since been rising and nearing the resistance level, located at $210. Considering the coin’s current trajectory, the analyst has noted that its price may be heading for a retest at $210 before making its next big move. However, the direction of such a move, if one happens, remains uncertain.
Given that the $210 level corresponds to the resistance line of the Parallel Channel, it’s possible that a retest could reject Solana all the way back down to the support level around $176. It’s also possible, though, that this retest could instead lead to a breakout. In this case, SOL could naturally see a sustained bullish push. It now remains to be seen which of the two scenarios will play out for the asset if the Parallel Channel holds and a retest takes place.
At the time of writing, Solana is floating around $200, up over 7.5% in the last seven days.
The Solana decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem just gained another powerful addition with the launch of SolsticeFi. This innovative new platform is poised to introduce a much-needed layer of risk-controlled yield generation, directly addressing one of the primary concerns for users venturing into the safety of their deposited capital.
SolsticeFi is reimagining how investors earn on Solana by introducing a defensively engineered approach to yield, one that directly protects the value of user deposits. According to crypto commentator Madissa’s post on X, one of SolsticeFi’s most compelling features is its ability to allow users to continue earning staking rewards while keeping their assets liquid and usable across the broader DeFi ecosystem.
This innovation created continuous opportunities for user to deploy their capital in other protocols without interrupting their base yield, instead of locking up funds. SolsticeFi platform is designed to prioritize full transparency and validator diversification, minimizing exposure to single-validator risks and opaque yield platforms. Furthermore, depositing capital into SolsticeFi provides support for SOL’s network security while generating sustainable returns for users.

Crypto analyst Hokage has also mentioned how Solana is improving and completely revolutionizing financial transaction speeds in traditional finance (TraFi), where transfers take days, settlements drag, and middlemen slow everything down.
SOL has changed the game by creating a new block every 400 milliseconds, and currently, the central to this acceleration is Bam, the new block assembly marketplace. This Bam will speed up how quickly user transaction gets picked up and integrated into a block, and slash inclusion times to an astonishing 50-100 milliseconds. Building on this is Alpenglow, which takes finality down to an incredible 100-150 milliseconds faster than a blink, and the point where the network confirms the user transaction is 100% done and irreversible.
One project that stands out in these ultra-fast ecosystem steps is SolsticeFi’s USX, a stablecoin specifically built to move at that speed, which enables users to send dollars, deploy capital, and settle instantly. Hokage concluded that “while these advancements might sound like pure sci-fi, if you’ve been around the SOL ecosystem, you would know it’s not.”
While SolsticeFi provides speed and reduces risk to Solana yield platforms, KOLS Manager at Binance, investor, and trader BitGuru, has noted that SOL’s price is currently showing a strong bullish setup, after following a steady downtrend and now stabilizing near key support.
As a result of that action, the SOL market is now pulling back with considerable strength, aiming to break above the critical $210 resistance level, a zone that has capped multiple attempts at recovery. A decisive breakout above $210 would likely trigger SOL’s next leg higher toward $230 and beyond.
The Cardano (ADA) price is flying under the radar amid growing accumulation by large-holders (“whales”) and a technical formation that traders seldom ignore, a symmetrical triangle.
With ADA currently trading around $0.66, after briefly reaching $0.69 earlier in the week, the stage appears set for a breakout, or a breakdown. Analysts suggest that if the bullish scenario prevails, ADA could target $1 and beyond, potentially even reaching $5 or more in a longer-term move.
Despite short-term price softness, on-chain data reveal that wallets holding large quantities of ADA are steadily increasing their positions.
According to recent reports, wallets with 100,000 ADA tokens have been accumulating over the past six weeks, even while retail demand remains lukewarm. This accumulation is taking place as ADA forms a low-volatility consolidation, such behaviour often precedes major market moves.
The divergence is noteworthy. While Open Interest and spot cumulative volume delta (CVD) remain weak, signaling limited retail/speculator engagement, whales are quietly buying the dips.
Enthusiasm among large-holders suggests confidence in ADA’s fundamentals and plays into the bullish thesis that this accumulation could underpin a powerful move once the technical breakout triggers.
Technical analysts highlight that ADA has been trading within a symmetrical triangle pattern, a convergence of support and resistance trendlines, typically signalling a buildup of tension before a decisive move.
The crucial support near $0.61 and resistance roughly at $0.70–$0.75 mark the boundaries of this formation. A decisive breakout above the upper trendline could unlock a rally toward $0.80–$0.85, and potentially beyond $1.70 per some projections.
Conversely, a breakdown below the support would invalidate the bullish setup and could see ADA revisit $0.55 or lower. Given the whale accumulation underway, the bullish scenario currently seems favoured, but traders must still watch for confirmation.
The question now gaining traction is: could ADA eventually hit $5? While the immediate target may be around $1 to $2, some longer-term models based on Fibonacci extensions and structural breakout maths place significantly higher levels on the table.
If ADA converts supply zones into support and elevates its on-chain narrative, the powerful combination of whale positioning + breakout could carry it much higher.

Luxury world is trust-based. When one buys a Gucci bag, Rolex watch, or Louis Vuitton wallet, he or she has the confidence based on the knowledge and understanding that it is genuine. Value is represented by the quality of the style, the logo, the craftsmanship, all that combined. But when the fake luxury market came up with fakes, the trust was cut off. Regrettably, counterfeiting has turned out to be a multi-billion-dollar business.
According to reports from 2025, counterfeit luxury goods alone are estimated to cost brands over 400 billion dollars in lost sales annually. Counterfeiting has become an international issue with fake designer clothes and imitated watches. The counterfeiters are using advanced printing and e-commerce techniques at their disposal, and hence imitations are very hard to spot, and this leaves the consumers and the brands in jeopardy.
Another approach was used in the past, where luxury brands were using a serial number, paper certificates, or unique packaging, and although brands were immensely proud of their capability to prevent counterfeiters by such means, the vast majority of these security measures were reproducible or lost. The introduction of blockchain technology is the place where there is more opportunity to change. Through the development of authentication tokens, luxury brands will now be able to offer an identification of all legitimate products being linked to a digital record that cannot be replicated or modified.
These tokens are helping rebuild trust. They give proof that a product is genuine. They also make it possible to track an item from the moment it is made until it is sold again in resale markets. This blog explains how these luxury goods authentication tokens work, why brands are using them, and what the future looks like for digital proof of luxury ownership.
Luxury goods authentication tokens are like a digital passport for high-end items. They demonstrate that a product is not a duplicate. The tokens are identifiable such as a fingerprint and are stored safely in a blockchain network.
A luxurious brand sets a new bag, watch or jewelry and gives it a token. The brand name, date of manufacture, materials and serial number are some of the information contained in this token. This information is then written on the blockchain, and it cannot be altered. The token is kept with the item in the course of its life.
In the case of the sale of a product, the ownership of the token also changes. This will aid in monitoring the actual owner and preventing the entry of fake products into the market. The system is not complicated, but solid in usage. Any person who swipes or counterchecks the token can prove that the product is authentic.
Luxury goods authentication tokens are bridges between the online and the real world. They ensure that all products of luxury can be checked anytime. And since the blockchain is transparent and public, it is difficult to cheat the system.
How Blockchain Helps Verify Luxury Items
Blockchain is a digital record-keeping system that allows you to store information securely in blocks. When a block is inserted in the information chain, it cannot be erased or modified. The blocks are linked to the succeeding information. This is what renders blockchain credible to authentication.
Any luxurious item can create a record that captures all the noteworthy features of the product with regard to the user. The record can contain details on the object including identification, place of production, and ownership. Each time a luxury commodity is bought or sold among the owners, we will have a new entry in the book of records and we will be able to construct the whole history of disposition between factory and customer.
Traditional certifications can be lost or counterfeit. The information in blockchain is indefeasible. The token generated about the luxury product can be viewed and tracked by the public, which is completely stored on the blockchain. Thus, the consumer who bought the Prada bag or Rolex watch will simply have to check the authenticity with the help of the blockchain in case they wish to do so.
Here’s a simple comparison to show the difference:

Blockchain makes luxury verification more reliable. It keeps every product’s truth in one safe place. This system gives brands protection and gives customers confidence that what they are buying is genuine.
Luxury brands have always been in battle against imitation products. Over the past few years, most individuals have turned to authentication that is based on blockchain as it comes with permanent solutions and not short-term solutions. Digital trust is replacing physical beauty in the luxury market as much as physical beauty is, hence the rapid transition.
The brands that are included in the Aura Blockchain Consortium are Prada, Cartier, and Louis Vuitton. This technology assigns a digital identity to each product and allows consumers to check it at any time. It allows a buyer to determine the date, place of creation and resale of the item.
In the case of luxury houses, it is not only about prevention of fakes. New business opportunities are also created by authentication tokens. Indicatively, when a product is sold in the resale market, the brand continues to remain as part of a transaction. That preserves its worth and relationship.
Here’s a small look at how popular brands are already using this system.

These brands have seen that authentication tokens help keep their heritage safe. Buyers feel proud knowing their product has a digital record from the official brand. It’s also helping younger buyers, who are used to digital items, feel more connected to luxury ownership.
Another reason for this move is sustainability. Numerous brands are now demonstrating how the materials for their goods and products are sourced and produced with blocks. This can offer proof of ethically sourced and manufactured products, which is very important to modern luxury consumers today.
Luxury goods authentication tokens have a simple yet effective process. The objective is to connect each physical item to a digital identity that is ultimately stored forever as part of the blockchain. This digital identity will travel with the product as it crosses owners or geographical locations. The process can be divided into three general facets: the creation of a digital ID, the linking of a token to the ID, and the transfer of ownership.
Every luxury item is produced with a unique digital ID. When a bag, shoe, or watch is produced, its specifications are captured in a digital record. Digital records may include aspects ranging from the specific materials used, color, model number, place of manufacture, and even the code of the artisan. These records are retained in the blockchain immediately, establishing the product’s digital fingerprint.
This means that even if a brand produces hundreds of the same model, no two products will ever be identical because each item is associated with an ID. No two identical items will ever have the same digital signature.
After the ID is created, it gets linked to a blockchain token. This token acts as proof of authenticity. To make the connection real-world, brands use methods like QR codes, NFC chips, or even microchips stitched inside the product. When someone scans the code, they can see the digital record on the blockchain. The connection between the physical product and digital record is what makes counterfeiting extremely difficult.
Once the item is sold, the ownership information is also updated on the blockchain. The token now shows the new owner. This process repeats every time the product changes hands. No paperwork is needed, and ownership can be confirmed instantly.
The steps can be seen in this table below.

This system builds a clear and permanent history for every luxury product. It keeps both the brand and the customer protected. And since blockchain is shared publicly, any person can verify the authenticity without needing to trust only the seller.
Luxury brands have started seeing big results from using authentication tokens. These tokens are not only protecting brands from fake products but also changing how customers interact with their purchases. The system brings transparency and long-term value for both buyers and sellers.
The first major benefit is that authentication tokens prevent counterfeit products from proliferating. When each product is assigned a digital ID on blockchain, a counterfeit version cannot be created. The blockchain record demonstrates where the product originated and verifies that it is original. This provides buyers with peace of mind while also strengthening the brand’s reputation.
The second advantage is customer trust. Customers increasingly demand to know where their products come from and how they were created. Blockchain records allow marketers to show consumers the whole lifecycle of a product, from conception to delivery. Allowing customers to see that information for themselves fosters trust and enhances the possibility of repeat purchases. Another advantage for customers is openness in resale markets.
Watches, shoes, and purses are among the many luxury items traded and resold in secondary markets. When each of these products has a blockchain record, the buyer in the resale market can check its history before committing to buy.
This adds value to the secondhand market and encourages more customers to purchase authentically. The final big benefit is that it allows firms that believe in sustainable and ethical fashion practices to demonstrate how they obtain their materials, where they manufacture their products, and how they compensate their employees. This enables brands to communicate data in order to meet sustainability goals while also providing consumers with trust in the products they purchase.
The shift towards authentication tokens is no longer theoretical. Numerous prominent blockchain and luxury consortia projects are fully functional and ongoing around the world.
The, Aura Blockchain Consortium, founded by LVMH, Prada and Cartier provides the largest consortium in terms of legacy luxury in existence, using a blockchain to provide an unverifiable certificate of authenticity for each product. Customers then scan along with being able to even verify real time data of the product’s journey along with sourcing of materials. Aura Blockchain Consortium also connects to resale markets so that second-hand purchasers are receiving verified goods as well.
Another successful project is Arianee, an open blockchain platform utilizing digital identity protocols for luxury products, watch brands such as Vacheron Constantin and Breitling use Arianee to record ownership. Arianee’s open standard makes it simple for brands to adopt, without them having to build new, unique infrastructure.
VeChain is also known for helping track supply chains of luxury products. It places small chips in physical goods that connect to blockchain records. This helps detect fake products even before they reach the market.
Luxury good authentication tokens are changing how consumers think about ownership. They allow the user to prove the authenticity of an item and assist in linking the physical experience to the digital experience. This tokenile system protects brands from counterfeit items and adds confidence to customers that their items are authentic.
Leading luxury brands like Prada and Cartier are ushering in this shift. Blockchain technology has made the verification process safer, more efficient, quicker and more verifiable. Buyers will be able to verify the physical and digital histories of a product in seconds using a simple scan instead of relying on the traditional paper system.
Although there are still barriers, including cost, privacy aspects and education, the direction is clear. The luxury market is embracing a digital future where every product sold will have a verifiable identity.
The idea of using authentication tokens will continue to expand and we will all see a future where every handbag, watch or pair of shoes has a digital twin that tells its story. This is what luxury will become: an increase in transparency and trust in what constitutes exclusiveness and uniqueness.
A luxury goods authentication token is a digital certificate that proves a product is real. It is stored on blockchain so that no one can copy or change it.
Each product has a unique digital ID that lives on blockchain. Fake items can’t copy this record, so buyers and brands can confirm authenticity instantly.
Big brands like Louis Vuitton, Prada, Cartier, and Breitling are already using blockchain-based authentication systems.
They are similar but slightly different. NFTs represent digital ownership, while authentication tokens connect directly to real physical items.
Yes. Since blockchain records cannot be changed, it’s one of the safest ways to verify product authenticity and track ownership history.
Most likely yes. As the technology becomes cheaper and easier, more brands will use blockchain to protect their designs and improve customer trust.
Blockchain: A digital ledger that keeps records safe and transparent. It is made of connected blocks that store data permanently.
NFT (Non-Fungible Token): A unique digital asset that represents ownership of something special, often used in art and fashion.
Authentication Token: A digital proof stored on blockchain that confirms a luxury product is real.
Digital Twin: A virtual copy of a physical product used for tracking and verification.
Smart Contract: A program on blockchain that runs automatically when certain conditions are met.
Aura Blockchain Consortium: A group of luxury brands using blockchain to verify authenticity, including LVMH, Prada, and Cartier.
Luxury goods authentication tokens are revolutionizing the way the fashion and luxury industry addresses authenticity. These electronic certificates, built on the blockchain technology, render any counterfeit scenario virtually impossible. They increase trust in resale marketplaces, lead to more sustainable practices, and help develop a stronger relationship between brands and their customers.
With projects like the Aura Consortium, Arianee and VeChain leading the charge, the luxury industry is moving toward a transparent future. Yes, while the technology is still emerging, the opportunity is and can be endless. Soon, there will be many more social networking platforms, And, electronic certificates for every designer bag or high-end watch, if that’s how you want to remember it with digital identity, which could include everything we know about the object from the workbench of the craftsperson to the purchase.

MoonBull ($MOBU) presale isn’t built on hype; it’s powered by design. Its Bull’s Engine redirects every sell order into a closed-loop growth system that strengthens the ecosystem from within. Two percent of each sale is added to liquidity for price stability, another two percent is redistributed to holders as reflections for passive earnings, and one percent is burned forever to reduce supply. The result: a self-reinforcing economy that grows stronger with each transaction, making MoonBull the best crypto coin to buy now for investors seeking conviction over speculation.
Adding to that power is MoonBull’s referral system, one of the cleanest and most rewarding structures in crypto. Every referral gives both the inviter and invitee a 15% bonus in tokens, instantly. This on-chain mechanism builds organic demand while expanding the community. It’s not marketing fluff; it’s built-in growth logic. These dual systems, The Bull’s Engine and the Referral Engine, position MoonBull among the best crypto coins to buy now, blending DeFi intelligence with community-driven velocity.
MoonBull’s numbers paint the full picture. The MoonBull presale is now in Stage 5, priced at $0.00006584, with over $500,000 raised and more than 1,600 holders already on board. Early entrants from Stage 1 have seen returns above 163%, and projections to the $0.00616 listing price suggest a 9,256% potential ROI. Each stage features a 27.40% price increase, building urgency and rewarding quick action.
A $2,000 entry right now could multiply dramatically if the presale continues at its current pace. This moment feels like catching a rocket before ignition, quiet, steady, but loaded with thrust. The design is intentional: it rewards timing, conviction, and patience. Blink, and the next stage may already leave the launchpad.
Litecoin is back in the conversation as institutional players explore new ways to list crypto ETFs tied to major blockchain assets. The recent announcements around possible Litecoin exposure through spot products have fueled renewed optimism, with the token rising 4.36% to $104.36 in the last 24 hours. That move signals growing acceptance from traditional finance circles looking to re-enter crypto markets with established, low-volatility coins.
This wave of institutional attention could strengthen Litecoin’s credibility in mainstream investment portfolios. LTC reinforces crypto’s broader legitimacy. For conservative investors balancing risk and recognition, Litecoin remains a cornerstone asset, but MoonBull offers the high-velocity play.
Stellar is gaining traction again as new tokenized assets and cross-border payment initiatives launch on its network. The token climbed 1.06% to $0.3341 in the last 24 hours, supported by optimism around real-world adoption and institutional participation. Developers are also expanding the Stellar ecosystem to bridge traditional finance with decentralized payments, increasing its long-term relevance.
Yet, while Stellar strengthens its ecosystem, its price action remains steady rather than explosive. It’s a reliable builder’s coin, a foundation for innovation, not quick profits. For investors scanning the horizon for the best crypto coin to buy now, MoonBull’s early-stage growth mechanics and presale momentum create a distinctly higher-risk, higher-reward opportunity.
In a market where Litecoin builds institutional credibility and Stellar focuses on adoption, MoonBull’s presale breaks through as the best crypto coin to buy now. Its liquidity-reflection-burn cycle, referral-based reward engine, and structured 23-stage model create a blend of fairness, growth, and scarcity rarely seen in meme-inspired tokens. It’s more than hype – it’s a smart contract ecosystem designed to scale.
MoonBull’s presale is live now. Stages are filling fast, prices are climbing, and each tick forward raises the entry cost. For investors who understand that opportunity doesn’t repeat, this presale represents a chance to get in before the headlines hit mainstream screens. The bull is moving – those who wait may only see the dust trail.

MoonBull fuses meme-driven excitement with real tokenomics, liquidity, reflections, burns, and referral incentives. This mix creates sustainable growth, fueling both hype and utility, making it one of the most compelling and balanced crypto investments of 2025.
MoonBull’s 23-stage presale system raises prices by 27.40% each stage, driving urgency and fair valuation. This progressive model ensures transparency, consistent investor demand, and a predictable price trajectory that rewards early believers while maintaining long-term sustainability.
MoonBull’s referral system gives both the inviter and invitee a 15% token bonus instantly. This dual incentive encourages organic network growth, spreading awareness while rewarding community participation and fostering stronger, community-driven expansion within the ecosystem.
Absolutely. MoonBull operates on Ethereum’s ERC-20 standard with verified, gas-optimized smart contracts. A professional third-party audit and locked liquidity ensure investor confidence, transparency, and protection against vulnerabilities or manipulation throughout the presale and beyond.
Yes, but through innovation rather than imitation. While Litecoin and Stellar emphasize infrastructure and stability, MoonBull thrives on early-stage momentum, massive community engagement, and deflationary design, targeting exponential returns that established projects can rarely match.

წყალტუბოს სამგურალმა საგარეჯოს გარეჯს მოუგო და მეხუთე ადგილზე გადავიდა. ეს მოხდა კრისტალბეთ ეროვნული ლიგის 30-ე ტურის ბოლო მატჩში.
გარეჯი 1:4 სამგურალი

სწრაფი გოლი ვნახეთ, კერძოდ, სამგურალის ნახევარმცველმა ჟან კარლოსმა გამოზომილი დარტყმით გაიტანა.

Amazon will lay off 2,303 corporate employees in Washington state, primarily in its Seattle and Bellevue offices, according to a filing with the state Employment Security Department that provides the first geographic breakdown of the company’s 14,000 global job cuts.
A detailed list included with the state filing shows a wide array of impacted roles, including software engineers, program managers, product managers, and designers, as well as a significant number of recruiters and human resources staff.
Senior and principal-level roles are among those being cut, aligning with a company-wide push to use the cutbacks to help reduce bureaucracy and operate more efficiently.
Amazon announced the cuts Tuesday morning, part of a larger push by CEO Andy Jassy to streamline the company. Jassy had previously told Amazon employees in June that efficiency gains from AI would likely lead to a smaller corporate workforce over time.
In a memo from HR chief Beth Galetti, the company signaled that further cutbacks will continue into 2026. Reuters reported Monday that the number of layoffs could ultimately total as many as 30,000 people, which is still possible as the layoffs continue into next year.

The Manor House Country Hotel which is located on the banks of the lough erne lake was recently awarded as the Most Romantic Hotel of 2025 at the Irish Hotel Awards. The hotel also won the Wedding Hotel of the Year (Ulster) as well as Spa Hotel of the Year (Ulster). This is a positive thing for the country’s tourism and guest demand.

These enhancements make the Manor House attractive not only for honeymooners or romantic weekends but for parents with children, grandparents, and extended families, broadening its market reach.
The hotel’s triple-win at the Irish Hotel Awards places Enniskillen and the broader Fermanagh Lakelands firmly on the map for visitors seeking premium lodging. For tourism stakeholders this creates several ripple effects:
The hotel’s lake-side setting, historic manor house architecture and immersive leisure offerings make it a magnet for modern travellers who combine relaxation with exploration. With the award shining a light on the destination, Enniskillen is now in a stronger position to carve out a niche in luxury travel within Northern Ireland.
For travellers wishing to obtain one of Ireland’s most memorable experiences, awards aside, the Manor House Country Hotel located in Ennniskillen, is far more able to accommodate the couple looking to rekindle the romance or the family looking to obtain a relaxed luxurious getaway.

Cuba braces for Hurricane Melissa after it causes devastating damage in Jamaica, with global airlines adjusting travel schedules. As one of the strongest storms to strike the Caribbean in modern history, Hurricane Melissa made landfall in Jamaica on October 28, 2025, unleashing fierce winds and heavy rains. The storm, which reached Category 5 status, has left a trail of destruction, particularly in popular tourist destinations like Montego Bay and Ocho Rios. Thousands of travelers are stranded as airports close and flight schedules are severely disrupted. The storm’s path now threatens Cuba, prompting evacuations and airline disruptions across the Caribbean. With the hospitality industry facing significant damage and operations halted in many areas, tourists and travelers are advised to stay informed about their flight statuses, rebooking options, and any emergency measures put in place.
Cuba Prepares for Hurricane Melissa While Jamaica Recovers From Its Damaging Effects and Flights Resume
Cuba is preparing for the impact of Hurricane Melissa, the biggest hurricane of the season, as it continues to impact Jamaica and the region’s tourist sectors. Melissa is currently the most powerful hurricane to impact Jamaica. Since it made landfall in the country on October 28, it has disrupted the lives of thousands and posed significant challenges to the tourism industry. As powerful hurricanes disrupt the region, travelers should remain updated on canceled flights, travel restrictions, and the overall conditions in the affected areas.
Melissa’s Impact on Jamaica’s Tourism Sector
Hurricane Melissa has severely impacted Jamaica’s tourism industry. As Jamaica’s tourism sector is one of the most crucial for the economy and is often at the center of hurricane destruction, the impact of Melissa has been greatly felt. The devastation is due to Melissa being the 5th category hurricane, the strongest to impact the region this year. The destructive flooding, hurricane winds, and the resulting building damages and blackouts have posed significant challenges to the sector. Major tourist areas of Montego Bay, Negril, and Ocho Rios disproportionally bear the brunt of the damages and blackouts due to their dense populations.
With the passing of the storm, Jamaica’s most significant source of foreign exchange, the tourism industry, is facing massive challenges. Jamaica’s tourism becomes most impacted when there is the need to build or repair required infrastructure to support the industry. Jamaica also suffers the loss of the immediate income those tourists would have brought to the country. On the upside, however, the loss of the immediate income is somewhat compensated for by the relatively larger income potential those tourists would spend on the island.
Flying Woes
After the storm, flights going or coming to/from Jamaica were approved to resume after a 48-hour period of waiting in the storm’s relative calm. Jamaica’s 2 international airports (Sangster, Montego Bay & Norman Manley, Kingston) were forced to close. Passengers going to/from those airports have also suffered extended wait times.
Flight cancellations, delays and, consequently, wait times have also extended at several North American and Caribbean airlines. American, Delta, JetBlue, and Air Canada are a few of the several airlines that had to also adjust and/or delay/extend their flights.
For American Airlines alone, more than 50 flights to and from Jamaica were canceled, as well as similar cancellations from Delta Airlines and JetBlue. These passengers might want to verify their flight status and approach the airlines straight for rebooking and other accommodation necessities. Many passengers to Jamaica will have their vacations impacted by the closure of some resorts, but others will be offering partial refunds and alternate lodgings until the resorts are safe to use and the storm has cleared.
Cuba Prepares for Hurricane Melissa’s Arrival
Cuba gets ready to feel the effects of Hurricane Melissa, as the storm moves west. Cuba, located north of Jamaica, is next in the storm’s path and has issued evacuation orders for the eastern provinces of Santiago de Cuba and Holguin. More than 500,000 have been evacuated as precaution, with additional flight changes to Cuba from several international airlines.
For now, flights from Cuba’s major airports, including Havana’s José Martí International Airport, have been temporarily suspended, with more cancellations expected down the line. Traveling Storms have caused Delta Airlines, Iberia, and Air France to issue rebooking advisories. Unlike travel bans which have been placed on Cuba and other Caribbean islands, Storms have Travel advisories which is less severe. Travel rebooking and travel advisory on and off the island provide little consolation for Caribbean travelers for the travel bans. There are advisories for Cuba and Jamacia and airplane companies are ordered to disclose the status of flights and Travel advisories for the Caribbean islands. The rebooking caused by the storms are said to provide little consolation for travelers. There is a travel ban for Cuba and other Caribbean islands.
Travel bans have affects Jamacia and Cuba. There is a travel management system that captains are ordered to access while boarding. In Jamacia, the resorts which are the centers of the tourism-based economy have been hit the worst. Havens in the tourist rich areas of Montego Bay, Nergil, and Ocho Rios have been badly battered. Many hotels have been left without power throughout the storm due to the devastation of their electrical systems by water and compromised roofs. The touching accounts of the devastation of major hotels on the islands contain details of flooded parts which have been rendered useless, and severe wind damage to external structures.
In Cuba, the expected impacts of the storm are significant and will likely affect the tourism industry for a while. The eastern region of the country has hotels that are likely going to evacuate. In Havana, the storm has already resulted in some tourist attractions being closed, and travel to and from the city has also been restricted. These areas are going to face interruptions to their tourism for a considerable period of time.
Most hotels in both countries are coordinating with local emergency management and law enforcement. Because a number of hotels are closing, travelers are going to have a hard time finding hotels and will likely have to stay in emergency or evacuation shelters. The hotels that are not closing will likely have reduced services, and some hotels will actually charge lower emergency rates.

On October 28, 2025, a Special Marine Warning was issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) for Galveston, Texas, and its surrounding coastal waters. The warning, which lasted until 7:15 PM CDT, was prompted by a severe thunderstorm capable of producing waterspouts, as radar indicated the presence of strong winds and rapidly changing conditions. The storm was located near Christmas Bay, just south of San Luis Pass, and was moving southeast at 10 knots, putting several coastal areas at risk of hazardous weather conditions.
This weather event has the potential to cause significant disruptions to maritime activities and pose serious safety risks for both locals and tourists in the region. Waterspouts, which can easily overturn boats and create dangerous sea conditions, along with wind gusts of 34 knots or greater, are expected to be the primary threats.
The areas affected by the Special Marine Warning include a stretch of coastal waters from High Island to Freeport, TX, extending out 20 nautical miles. Key tourist destinations along the coastline that may be impacted by the severe weather include Galveston Island, Bastrop Bay, Drum Bay, Christmas Bay, and southwestern West Bay. These areas are popular for boating, fishing, and water-based tourism, which are at risk due to the potential for sudden, violent winds and waves caused by the storm.
Tourists visiting Galveston, particularly those on water excursions or in coastal areas, should be aware of the heightened risks associated with waterspouts and powerful gusts. The popular Galveston Island and surrounding waters are known for attracting tourists seeking picturesque coastal views, water sports, and nature tours. Visitors to these sites are encouraged to stay informed about changing weather conditions to avoid unnecessary risks.
As the NWS continues to monitor the situation, the most pressing concern for those in the affected areas is safety, particularly for those near or on the water. Here are some key safety protocols for tourists in the region:
Galveston and the surrounding areas are popular tourism hubs, particularly for families, beach-goers, and water sports enthusiasts. Galveston Island, home to a rich history, vibrant culture, and scenic waterfront views, is known for its historic sites, beaches, and family-friendly activities. However, extreme weather conditions, such as the ones forecasted in this Special Marine Warning, can lead to cancellations of water-based tours, disruptions in beach activities, and potential damage to coastal infrastructure.
Many tourists visit the area for activities like fishing, boating, and watersports, which are all at risk during this storm event. The potential for waterspouts and high winds could disrupt these activities, affecting not just local businesses but the tourism economy as a whole. With safety being the top priority, tourists are encouraged to explore indoor attractions or reschedule outdoor excursions until conditions improve.
As the situation evolves, it is important for both tourists and residents to remain vigilant. The National Weather Service has indicated that waterspouts could continue to form and move throughout the evening, posing ongoing threats to small craft and coastal safety.
The NWS also warns that conditions could worsen as the storm progresses, and additional warnings may be issued if necessary. Visitors to Galveston and other affected coastal areas are strongly encouraged to heed these warnings, stay indoors, and avoid any unnecessary travel near or on the water.
As Galveston, Texas, faces the threat of waterspouts and high winds, tourists are reminded to prioritise safety above all else. The combination of strong winds and the potential for waterspouts creates hazardous conditions that can impact both the local community and visitors. By staying informed, adhering to safety protocols, and avoiding risky activities, tourists can ensure their safety during this unpredictable weather event.
Local authorities have made efforts alongside the police to protect residents and visitors which means that each of us has our personal responsibility to listen to the instructions given in order to mitigate the effects of the storm strategies designed to reinforce defences. Keep in mind that the old adage, better to be safe than sorry, is particularly wise when dealing with the ocean and its potentially treacherous conditions.

As travel begins to rebound in 2025, Southeast Asian countries are rolling out innovative strategies to promote off-season travel. With a focus on sustainable tourism, these nations are tackling the problem of overcrowding and creating opportunities for tourists to visit during the quieter months. By encouraging travel during off-peak periods, countries like Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam aim to balance tourism more effectively, reduce strain on popular sites, and distribute benefits more equitably across regions.
This article delves into how Southeast Asia’s tourism sectors are responding to overcrowding, emphasizing efforts to sustain the industry while preserving the natural and cultural treasures that make the region so appealing.
In a move to combat overcrowding during the busy tourist season, Thailand has launched the “Love Season” campaignto attract visitors during the typically quieter months of June to September. The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT)is working to reframe the rainy season as a time for unique and relaxing experiences. The initiative promotes destinations less affected by mass tourism, offering attractive discounts, cultural experiences, and special promotions that highlight the authentic charm of Thailand’s off-season offerings.
Thailand’s off-season strategy not only reduces pressure on over-visited spots like Bangkok and Phuket but also provides locals with the chance to experience a more peaceful and sustainable form of tourism. The “Love Season” campaign encourages travelers to visit smaller towns and remote islands that often remain overshadowed by the country’s famous attractions. Through this initiative, Thailand is fostering a more sustainable travel model that supports the local economy year-round.
For more information on Thailand’s off-season initiatives, visit the Tourism Authority of Thailand’s page on Facebook.
Malaysia has long been a popular destination for both regional and international tourists. However, the surge in visitors during peak periods has led to overcrowding at iconic spots like Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Langkawi. To counter this, the country has unveiled a comprehensive year-round tourism strategy, promoting travel during the off-season months. By encouraging sustainable tourism practices and eco-friendly initiatives, Malaysia aims to distribute visitors more evenly throughout the year.
One of Malaysia’s key initiatives is the Global Travel Meet 2025 in Kuala Lumpur, which focuses on fostering sustainable tourism solutions to help manage overcrowding. The event brings together travel industry experts, offering a platform to discuss the future of tourism in the region and how to achieve a more balanced flow of visitors throughout the calendar year. This strategy is already yielding results, as the nation promotes lesser-known destinations, offering discounts to travelers willing to venture outside of the typical tourist routes.
Malaysia’s tourism board is encouraging visitors to explore the less-crowded areas of the country, like the Cameron Highlands, Sarawak, and the East Coast of Malaysia, all while focusing on environmental sustainability and supporting the local community.

In line with other Southeast Asian countries, Vietnam is championing sustainable tourism as a means to promote off-season travel. The Vietnamese government, along with local authorities, is focusing on distributing tourism across different regions and encouraging travelers to visit destinations that are less frequented by tourists. Regions like Sapa, Phong Nha, and Hue are becoming focal points in the country’s efforts to encourage off-season tourism.
Vietnam’s push towards eco-friendly tourism aims to maintain its natural beauty and cultural heritage while minimizing the negative effects of tourism. As part of the push to maintain balance, local communities are being trained to offer unique experiences that showcase Vietnam’s traditional culture, handicrafts, and eco-tourism ventures. With fewer crowds and more sustainable options, visitors to Vietnam during the off-season are often rewarded with more intimate and authentic experiences.
The country is promoting destinations like the Central Highlands and Coastal regions that are typically not crowded with tourists during peak seasons. These areas are rich in culture and offer diverse landscapes for eco-tourism lovers. As a result, visitors are likely to encounter fewer tourists and enjoy more personalized travel experiences.
Vietnam’s off-season tourism efforts are designed to give back to local communities by providing economic opportunities that are not just tied to the high-season months.
To learn more about Vietnam’s efforts to promote sustainable tourism and off-season travel, check out more details on this website.
Off-season travel has been identified as one of the most effective solutions to managing the pressures of overcrowding in popular tourist spots. By promoting travel during the quieter months, Southeast Asian countries are balancing tourism in a way that prevents harm to natural resources and cultural sites while providing economic benefits to local communities.
This initiative is more important than ever as the world faces challenges related to over-tourism. Off-season travel helps alleviate strain on infrastructure and reduces the carbon footprint of mass tourism, making it a critical component of sustainable travel.
Travelers benefit from lower prices, fewer crowds, and a more relaxed experience while helping spread the economic impact of tourism more equitably across the year. For countries like Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam, this approach is central to managing tourism in a way that enhances both the visitor experience and local life.
The year 2025 marks a turning point in the Southeast Asian tourism sector, with countries like Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam taking proactive steps to combat the negative effects of overcrowding. By promoting off-season travel, these nations are leading the way in creating a more sustainable, balanced, and rewarding tourism experience. The off-season initiatives not only reduce pressure on popular attractions but also help boost the local economies year-round while protecting the rich cultural and natural heritage of the region.
Travelers looking to experience the best of Southeast Asia without the crowds should consider planning their trips during the quieter months. As these countries continue to innovate, we can expect to see even more exciting opportunities for off-season travel in the years to come.

As October comes to a close, a wave of excitement and reverence sweeps across Mexico, heralding one of the nation’s most cherished and colorful traditions – Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. This annual festival, celebrated on November 1 and 2, serves as a deep connection between the living and the departed. The holiday is not about mourning death but about celebrating life, remembering ancestors, and fostering a profound sense of community.
Across the country, families and communities prepare to honor their loved ones by setting up ofrendas (altars) in homes and cemeteries. These altars are adorned with marigolds, candles, sugar skulls, traditional foods, and photographs, transforming homes and public spaces into sanctuaries of remembrance. The celebration is marked by the belief that the souls of the departed return to their families on these days, and the offerings laid out for them are a way to welcome them home.
In 2025, the Day of the Dead will not only attract thousands of Mexicans but also travelers from around the world who wish to witness and experience the richness of this cultural phenomenon.
At the core of the Day of the Dead celebrations are the ofrendas – altars dedicated to honoring the deceased. These altars can vary greatly depending on region, but they share common elements. Families prepare ofrendas at home or at the cemetery, where they decorate with symbolic items that represent the life of the deceased and their journey back to the world of the living. Some of the common offerings include:
The Day of the Dead spans two days, each with distinct significance and traditions:
The heart of Mexico’s Día de los Muertos festivities is found in its capital, Mexico City. The grand Day of the Dead Parade, which began in 2016, is now one of the largest and most well-known events of the celebration. In 2025, the parade promises to be even grander, with massive floats, live music, dancers in traditional costumes, and a myriad of stunning skeletal figures. The parade will move along Paseo de la Reforma, showcasing Mexico’s vibrant culture through art, performance, and tradition.
Another key attraction in Mexico City is the Monumental Ofrenda in the Zócalo, the city’s main square. In 2025, the altar will pay homage to Mexico’s ancient Mesoamerican female deities such as Tonantzin, the earth goddess, and Ixmucané, the Mayan mother goddess. This tribute will combine indigenous traditions with modern artistic expression, showcasing Mexico’s deep cultural roots. The Zócalo Ofrenda will also be accompanied by free cultural activities and workshops for visitors of all ages.
Oaxaca, a region steeped in indigenous traditions, is one of the most culturally rich places to celebrate the Day of the Dead. Here, the streets and cemeteries come alive with vibrant altars, intricate sand tapestries, and paper cuttings (papel picado). Families gather in the cemeteries to spend the night, lighting candles and sharing food in honor of their departed loved ones.
In 2025, Oaxaca will feature its Guelaguetza Dance Festival, with performances dedicated to celebrating life and death through traditional indigenous music and dance. The Oaxaca International Day of the Dead Festival will also host workshops, exhibitions, and the popular Mesoamerican Ritual of the Dead, which offers an opportunity to learn about the origins of this ancient celebration.
In Pátzcuaro, Michoacán, the Day of the Dead takes on a more solemn tone, with families gathering around the beautiful Lake Pátzcuaro for candlelit vigils. The scene of glowing lights reflected on the water is a powerful image of reverence and remembrance. This tradition, which dates back centuries, remains one of the most famous and picturesque ways to celebrate Día de los Muertos.
The Isla de Janitzio, an island in the middle of Lake Pátzcuaro, holds special significance during this time. The island is home to a large community of indigenous Purépecha people, and their unique traditions and rituals have made the island a focal point for Day of the Dead celebrations. Families gather on the shores, while fishermen in canoes create stunning processions on the water, lighting the way for their loved ones’ spirits.
In northern Mexico, states like Nuevo León and Chihuahua will host a variety of community gatherings and craft fairs where visitors can sample local foods, view art exhibitions, and learn more about the region’s Día de los Muertos customs. In coastal areas such as Veracruz and the Yucatán Peninsula, music festivals, traditional dance performances, and food festivals will offer visitors an immersive experience in the celebratory atmosphere of this unique tradition.
In 2025, it is expected that over 1.6 million visitors will flock to Mexico to experience the Day of the Dead festivities. According to government sources, tourism in Mexico surrounding Día de los Muertos is growing year after year, with international travelers making up a large portion of the visitors. The peak of tourism occurs during the last week of October and the first few days of November, with hotel occupancy rates reaching approximately 60.8% across major tourist destinations like Mexico City, Cancún, and the Riviera Maya.
For travelers, participating in Mexico’s Day of the Dead celebrations offers a once-in-a-lifetime cultural experience. Whether you’re walking through the streets of Mexico City, exploring the altars in Oaxaca, or enjoying the serene lakeside vigils in Pátzcuaro, the Day of the Dead is an opportunity to witness the unity of community, culture, and family in Mexico.
The Day of the Dead is much more than just a holiday – it is a powerful reflection of Mexico’s cultural identity, resilience, and devotion to family. Through vibrant parades, intricate rituals, and community gatherings, Mexicans honor their ancestors, celebrate the beauty of life, and embrace the cyclical nature of existence. For those looking to experience a unique and deeply moving cultural celebration, Mexico’s Día de los Muertos offers an unforgettable journey into the heart of one of the world’s most vibrant and meaningful traditions.

For Indian citizens looking to make the U.S. their new home, the F-1 visa to Green Card pathway through the EB-5 program has become one of the fastest and most reliable options. As the demand for U.S. residency continues to rise, EB-5 offers an expedited route, especially for those already in the U.S. under an F-1 student visa. With the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) introducing streamlined procedures and clearer guidelines, this investment visa has gained prominence, becoming an essential choice for individuals and families aiming to achieve U.S. residency.
Vivek Tandon, the CEO and founder of EB5 BRICS, is leading the way in providing strategic support to families seeking a smooth transition from an F-1 visa to a Green Card through the EB-5 program. In an upcoming multi-city investor immigration tour, he aims to educate and guide families across Asia and the Middle East about the opportunities and benefits the EB-5 visa offers.
The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program provides foreign investors and their families the opportunity to obtain U.S. Green Cards. To qualify, applicants must invest in a U.S.-based business, creating or preserving at least ten full-time jobs for U.S. workers. The minimum investment required typically starts at $1 million, or $500,000 if the investment is in a targeted employment area (TEA), such as rural areas or those with high unemployment.
In addition to meeting the investment requirements, applicants must prove the legal source of their funds and meet various documentation standards as stipulated by the USCIS. The program’s appeal lies in its ability to fast-track permanent residency, especially for high-net-worth individuals seeking opportunities in the U.S. or their children pursuing education and careers in the country.
For students in the U.S. on an F-1 visa, transitioning to a Green Card can be a lengthy and complex process. However, the EB-5 visa provides an alternative route that is both efficient and predictable. By investing in qualifying businesses, F-1 visa holders can apply for a Green Card, bypassing many of the hurdles typically associated with family-based or employment-based immigration.
Through the EB-5 program, students and their families can secure permanent residency while enjoying the benefits of living and working in the U.S. It’s particularly attractive as it avoids the uncertainties and waiting times of traditional Green Card categories. Plus, the program includes the applicant’s immediate family (spouse and children under 21), making it an ideal option for those seeking long-term immigration solutions.
Starting in Dubai, the multi-city investor immigration tour will visit ten cities in four countries from October 28 to November 20, 2025. The cities include major hubs in India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, where there’s significant interest in the U.S. immigration process.
The events are designed to provide an in-depth understanding of the EB-5 process, including investment opportunities, the source-of-funds documentation, petition strategy, and how to prepare for the 2026 EB-5 filings.
The tour will feature private consultations, where families can receive personalized guidance on navigating the EB-5 program. Legal expert Rohit Turkhud, a partner at CSG Law, will join Vivek Tandon to provide comprehensive legal support, ensuring that every aspect of the immigration process is understood and executed correctly.
Rohit Turkhud, with decades of experience in EB-5 immigration law, will focus on petition strategy and ensuring that families understand the evolving USCIS guidelines. His expertise, combined with Vivek Tandon’s strategic approach to EB-5 investments, makes this tour a valuable opportunity for anyone interested in securing U.S. residency.
The EB-5 program is often viewed as a complicated process, particularly when it comes to ensuring that all legal and financial documentation is in order. This is where the combination of Vivek Tandon’s strategic investment insight and Rohit Turkhud’s legal expertise becomes invaluable.
Families considering the EB-5 route need to carefully assess their financial capacity, understand the legal requirements of U.S. immigration law, and evaluate the available investment projects. It’s important to ensure that the investment is not only profitable but also complies with all legal standards.
During the tour, Tandon and Turkhud will cover critical topics such as:
For those interested in securing U.S. residency through the EB-5 program, the upcoming tour offers an unparalleled opportunity to receive expert advice, clear guidance, and insights on how to make the transition as smooth as possible. The tailored nature of the consultations ensures that each family’s unique needs and concerns are addressed, making the process more manageable.
The EB-5 program is rapidly becoming one of the most popular and efficient routes to obtaining a U.S. Green Card. By offering fast-tracked residency for families through strategic investments, the program provides a clear path to permanent U.S. residency, especially for those already in the country on an F-1 visa. Vivek Tandon’s leadership in the EB-5 industry, alongside the legal expertise of Rohit Turkhud, ensures that families across Asia and the Middle East can confidently navigate the complexities of the program.
As interest in U.S. immigration through investment continues to grow, the upcoming multi-city tour presents an invaluable opportunity for Indian families, as well as those in the UAE, Singapore, Hong Kong, and beyond, to explore this promising immigration route. For more information or to schedule a consultation, reach out to Vivek Tandon and begin the journey toward U.S. residency.

Brentford continued their impressive run of form with a dominant 5-0 win over Grimsby Town, marching into the League Cup quarter-finals for the second consecutive season. It was another confident performance from Keith Andrews’ men, who look to be finding their stride after a shaky start to the campaign, Softfootball reports.
The result also builds on Brentford’s recent momentum coming off a famous 3-2 Premier League win over Liverpool, the Bees have now won three of their last five games in all competitions.
For Grimsby, who had stunned Manchester United earlier in the competition and claimed wins from each of England’s top three divisions on their magical run, this was a step too far. Despite a lively start in front of a packed Blundell Park, the League Two side were simply outclassed once Brentford settled into gear.
The hosts began brightly, with Charles Vernam and Evan Khouri both flashing half-chances early on. But once Brentford found their rhythm, there was no turning back. The breakthrough came midway through the first half when Grimsby tried to play out from the back. Keane Lewis-Potter pounced on a loose pass from Harvey Rodgers before Mathias Jensen curled a stunning strike past Christy Pym from the edge of the area to make it 1-0.
Just four minutes later, Brentford doubled their advantage in ruthless fashion. A swift counter-attack saw Reiss Nelson deliver a delightful chipped cross, which Lewis-Potter nodded home at the back post. The Premier League side were cruising now, and as the half-hour mark approached, Dango Ouattara came inches away from adding a third after great work from Rico Henry down the right flank.
The third goal eventually arrived three minutes before the break and it was pure class. Some beautiful interplay between Brentford’s front line found Reiss Nelson in space, and the winger made no mistake, bending the ball into the far corner to put the result beyond doubt before half-time.
If Grimsby had any hope of a comeback, it vanished soon after the restart. Fábio Carvalho was tripped in the box after another flowing team move, and the midfielder picked himself up to slot home the resulting penalty to make it 4-0.
Despite their best efforts, Grimsby never really threatened a response. They battled admirably to the end, but Brentford’s quality and depth proved overwhelming. The Bees even found time for a fifth goal in the closing stages, as Nathan Collins rose highest to head home from a well-worked corner.
After the game, Brentford posted via its official X handle, the players appreciating and thanking the fans for their support after a five star performance from the team. They posted:

It was a night that showcased Brentford’s growing confidence under Andrews a far cry from their early-season inconsistency. With three wins in their last five outings and a place in the last eight of the League Cup secured, the Bees’ momentum is building nicely as they eye a strong run on all fronts this season.

A new study has demonstrated that a virtual reality game can successfully teach people a breathing technique to regulate their physiological stress responses. This training led to improved biological markers of stress regulation during a tense virtual experience, suggesting such games could be a practical way to practice stress management skills. The research was published in the journal Psychophysiology.
While physiological regulation strategies like paced breathing are known to be effective, they are typically learned and practiced in calm, controlled environments. This setting is very different from the high-stress situations where such techniques are most needed, which may make it difficult for people to apply their training in real life. The study authors proposed that virtual reality could offer a unique solution by providing an immersive platform to both teach a regulation skill and then immediately create a stressful context in which to practice it.
The project involved two separate studies. The first study was designed as a proof of concept to see if the approach was feasible. Researchers recruited healthy adult participants and first recorded their baseline heart rate, heart rate variability, and breathing rate while they sat quietly. Heart rate variability is a measure of the variation in time between consecutive heartbeats, with higher variability often indicating better physiological regulation and a greater capacity to cope with stress.
Following the baseline recording, participants put on a virtual reality headset and played a training game. In this game, they found themselves on a boat in a calm sea and were guided through a slow, paced breathing exercise. On-screen prompts instructed them to inhale for five seconds, hold for five seconds, and exhale for five seconds, with the goal of achieving a slow breathing rate of four breaths per minute. Immediately after this training, they were immersed in a stressful game set in a dark dungeon. The objective was to avoid being detected by a creature that could supposedly hear their heartbeats.
A biofeedback display, visible at all times, showed participants a simplified “stress score” based on their heart rate. A green light indicated they were safe, while amber and red lights signaled increasing danger of being discovered. To succeed, participants had to use the breathing technique they had just learned to keep their heart rate down.
The study found that participants were able to apply the breathing technique effectively. Their breathing rate during the stressful dungeon game was significantly lower than their initial resting rate, showing they were following the training. Although their heart rate naturally increased from the stress of the game, their heart rate variability also increased compared to their baseline levels. This suggested an enhanced state of physiological regulation, likely driven by the controlled breathing.
The second study was designed to more formally test the effectiveness of the training by comparing a trained group to an untrained control group. Both groups attended two sessions, separated by about a week. In the first session, all participants experienced an initial stressful virtual reality scenario involving an intruder in a house. This was done to establish a baseline measure of each person’s stress reactivity. After this initial stressor, only the training group played the boat game twice to learn the breathing technique.
When they returned for the second session, the training group received a refresher by playing the boat game two more times. Then, both the trained and untrained groups played the same stressful dungeon game from the first study. The results showed a clear effect of the training. During the dungeon game, the trained group had a significantly lower breathing rate and a significantly higher heart rate variability compared to the untrained control group.
When the researchers compared physiological responses across the two different stressors, they found a notable interaction. The trained group showed a significant improvement in their heart rate variability from the pre-training “intruder” stressor to the post-training “dungeon” stressor. This pattern of improvement was not observed in the control group, providing stronger evidence that the breathing training was responsible for the effect.
An unexpected observation was that participants in the trained group reported feeling subjectively more stressed than the control group. The authors speculate this could be related to a sense of performance anxiety, as the trained group was aware their application of the technique was being evaluated.
The researchers acknowledged some limitations in their work. The first study was affected by technical issues with the respiratory measurement equipment, which led to the loss of some data. Additionally, a minor coding error in the training game meant that the boat’s speed was incorrectly linked to heart rate, though the authors believe this was unlikely to have affected the learning of the breathing pattern.
Future research could explore the surprising finding that physiological regulation did not align with subjective feelings of stress. It may also examine whether skills learned in an unrealistic game scenario can be generalized to manage stress in real-world situations.
The study, “Using a virtual reality game to train biofeedback-based regulation under stress conditions,” was authored by Lucie Daniel-Watanabe, Benjamin Cook, Grace Leung, Marino Krstulović, Johanna Finnemann, Toby Woolley, Craig Powell, and Paul Fletcher.

"It's a bit of a terrifying situation."
Patrice Evra released a video attacking Juventus players as ‘soft’ and seeing comparisons between Igor Tudor’s sacking and when David Moyes was fired by Manchester United.
The former Bianconeri hero is a regular on social media and put out his statement on Instagram after the surprising dismissal of coach Tudor, just 11 competitive games into the new season.
“Dear Juventini, I saw some messages from people saying they want me as a director or a coach, but I retired four years ago and won’t go back into football. This is because I would have to sacrifice everything for football, and I am enjoying myself too much right now. I am a happy man and therefore I will be selfish about it,” said Evra.
“I just want to go back on the sacking of Tudor. Thank you coach for everything. This is a message for the players.
“When they fire the coach, it means you haven’t done your job on the field. It only happened to me once in my whole career, when I was at Manchester United and they sacked David Moyes. I felt like s**t, and I hope the players right now at Juventus feel the same way, because they’ve gone through three or four coaches in a couple of years now.
“You are at Juve, you have to take responsibility. The problem is this doesn’t work on the new generation, it is a soft generation. So all the commentators and pundits who are ex-players are wasting their time talking to them.
“We were football players, we played for passion, for the shirt, for history, to put food in the mouths of our families.
“This generation are athletes more than players. They are brands, they are rappers, fashionistas, get involved in politics. There are too many distractions.
“This is why I am not harsh on them, as we didn’t have those distractions. We would eat, sleep, play football, that’s it. The world has changed, not just football.
“Juve have changed completely, we have lost the real values. I remember my first game with Andrea Agnelli, I was happy to see the history everywhere, we had Pavel Nedved, Platini, others.
“One day I will return to football, but not now. I am just saying this because when you play for Juve, you have to sacrifice everything, including your family.
“The best league I won in my whole life was with Max Allegri in 2014-15, I think we were 13th in the league, lost to Sassuolo, many players wanted to get rid of Max, but I saw the same thing at United when they tried to suggest Moyes was the only reason they were losing.
“Remove the coach, now there is no excuse. If you don’t want to stay there at Juve, then leave. You are too soft.”
Juventus are widely expected to appoint former Italy and Napoli boss Luciano Spalletti as their new coach later this week.
Meanwhile, Massimo Brambilla has been given the reins as the caretaker manager for Wednesday afternoon’s Serie A fixture against Udinese in Turin.
Ademola Lookman made some rather cryptic comments when asked if he was finally happy with Atalanta, while Mario Pasalic relished facing Luka Modric in a Milan shirt.
It was a relatively even match in Bergamo this evening, continuing the unbeaten streak for both sides, but also lacking in victories.
La Dea have now drawn five on the bounce in Serie A, while it was the second stalemate for the Rossoneri, who were held 2-2 by Pisa on Friday evening.
Samuele Ricci had opened the scoring, but it was cancelled out by the first goal Lookman has scored for Atalanta since his failed attempt to force an Inter transfer in the summer.
“It’s important to be available for the team, to help the team,” Lookman told DAZN Italia.
“I’ve not been able to find form yet, physically or in front of goal, but I’ll get there eventually and this was a step forward in the right direction. Hopefully in the coming games we’ll be able to get some wins.”
Although Lookman has made it abundantly clear he does not want to talk about the past or what happened in recent months, he was asked if this was the night that finally made him happy to be with Atalanta.
His response was somewhat cryptic and suggested the rapport with the club behind the scenes remains tense.
“I think that when I’m on the pitch, the most important thing is to try to help the team win. We want to keep climbing up the table and that’s the most important thing, to win football games.”
His goal celebration was at best muted, showing little excitement or emotion as his teammates crowded around him.
Pasalic was in the starting XI this evening in a more advanced trequartista role supporting the two strikers, Lookman and Charles De Ketelaere, and took the captain’s armband when Marten de Roon went off with an adductor issue.
“We played our game, as we have done largely this season other than the first half against Cremonese. We attacked, pressed high, unfortunately we can’t seem to get this win that would be the turning point,” Pasalic told DAZN Italia.
“We are creating chances, but to win we need to be more concrete upfront.”

This is a new era under Ivan Juric after nine years of Gian Piero Gasperini, although they are aided by the fact Gasp was Juric’s mentor.
“I already knew the way the coach played, and those of us who have been here many years were already accustomed to this type of tactical work. He is asking for some different things and we are getting there.”
Tonight was an extra pleasure for Croatia international Pasalic, who got to face legend Modric, and even got the veteran booked for a shirt tug.
“It is always a joy to play against a star like Modric, few can play like this at age 40.”
Ivan Juric believes Atalanta ‘had triple the intensity of Milan and dominated throughout,’ so were left with more regrets after yet another stalemate.
Samuele Ricci had given Milan the early lead in Bergamo with a deflected strike, until Ademola Lookman blasted into the roof of the net for his first goal since the summer transfer drama.
Davide Zappacosta had the best opportunity to win the game late on, his effort denied by a flying Mike Maignan fingertip save.
“I think Atalanta had triple the intensity of Milan. We dominated throughout, they had one shot early on and aside from a 10-minute spell in the second half, there was only one team trying to win the game,” Juric told DAZN Italia.
“The lads once again put in a great performance, I’ve never seen the wrong attitude from this team and they deserve more points, but if we keep going like this, then the results will arrive.”
Check the Football Italia Player Ratings for Atalanta 1-1 Milan
The problem is evidently converting chances, because once again Atalanta had 17 shots on goal, but only scored once.
“I think we did very well both winning the ball back and creating chances in transition, but also keeping calm moving the ball around when inevitably Allegri’s teams sit deep. It’s really disappointing we aren’t picking up more points, because we deserve them.
“I remain convinced we will break through and get those results.”
Juric had said in the build-up to this game that Atalanta would’ve been in a better position if Lookman had been able to go through a normal pre-season, as he is only now getting back to full fitness.
“I think we pushed him to play more than perhaps he should’ve done in these games because we wanted him to achieve match fitness,” explained the coach.
“He is a particular type of guy, but in training and on the pitch, he is a sight to behold, just a spectacular player. A winner, with incredible determination, and I am very happy for him. We were only talking yesterday he said if he trains like this, the goal will come, and today he scored a great goal.”
There was a setback in the opening stages too, as captain Marten de Roon limped off with a muscular issue, replaced by Marco Brescianini.
La Dea extended their unbeaten record for the season to the opening nine rounds, but only two of those were victories, as this was their fifth consecutive stalemate.
“We almost have everyone back now, so the team is becoming really competitive. We dominated games against Lazio and Milan, but didn’t win for various reasons, so hopefully we can become more clinical in attack and with these characteristics I am certain we will do well.”
Gianluca Scamacca and Nikola Krstovic were left on the bench throughout, so was that a tactical decision or based on fitness?
“It was a technical decision based on what I saw in training,” replied Juric.
Max Allegri reveals why he took Rafael Leao and Santiago Gimenez off against Atalanta, insisting Milan ‘need to have more belief in what we are doing’ in attack.
The Rossoneri had been hoping to close back up to the top spot after losing it with last week’s 2-2 draw against Pisa.
Instead, they have fallen further behind with another stalemate, as Samuele Ricci saw his early deflected strike cancelled out by an Ademola Lookman moment of magic.
La Dea had the best chance to win it, with Mike Maignan’s fingertip save denying Davide Zappacosta late on.
“We have a few absentees, but the team is reacting well,” Allegri told DAZN Italia.
“We were forced to defend ourselves in the first half after the goal because we were making a lot of technical errors, while we did better after the break, creating chances and making the wrong choices in the final third. That is where we must improve, the team needs to have more belief in what it is doing.
“Atalanta could not continue keeping that high press throughout and we knew they’d run out of steam, but in those moments we needed to improve our finishing and our choices in the final third.
“The goal we conceded was avoidable too on the through ball, but the team must be proud of its performance and prepare for the next match against Roma.”
Check the Football Italia Player Ratings for Atalanta 1-1 Milan
Some decisions prompted concerns, as Rafael Leao was replaced by Christopher Nkunku at half-time, then Santiago Gimenez limped off with an ankle knock.
They have limited options now, with Christian Pulisic, Adrien Rabiot, Pervis Estupinan and Ardon Jashari injured, but Ruben Loftus-Cheek made his comeback off the bench.
“Leao had a little problem with his hip, he wasn’t in great shape at the end of the first half, so the team needed fresh legs and Rafa was struggling to sprint, so I preferred to take him off,” explained Allegri.
“Gimenez just had a knock, it shouldn’t be particularly serious for Leao either, and hopefully we’ll have Estupinan back against Roma too. I hope that after the break for international duty, we’ll have everyone back and fit, but until then we’ve got to grit our teeth.”
If Rafael Leao is not delivering, then Milan struggle to have any real presence in the opposition penalty area.
“Nkunku did very well as a centre-forward and Atalanta dropped off, while Loftus-Cheek had 20 extraordinary minutes, but it is during those positive spells we need to score goals. We had favourable situations in the second half and only allowed the one real chance when we gave the ball away,” insisted Allegri.
“Gimenez worked hard for the team, he needs to relax, the goals will come sooner or later.”
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has claimed that Max Dowman has a long-term future at the club, and the player and his family are happy with his progress so far.
Dowman is regarded as one of the finest young attacking talents in the Premier League, and he has been linked with an exit in recent months.
However, Arsenal have no plans to let him leave anytime soon. He has all the tools to develop an important player for the club with the right guidance. Even though he has not had ample opportunities so far, he is still quite young, and he will adapt to the Premier League eventually.
Dowman has a bright future ahead of himself and has revealed that the player is improving every day. The Arsenal manager also added that Dowman has been excellent in training for the Gunners.
Arteta said during the pre-match presser ahead of the Brighton clash: “We look at his passport every day. We watch in training, and you have to play him; otherwise, I’m blind. He’s coped really well. It’s what we want (Dowman’s long-term future at the club) and what he wants. The feeling I have is that he loves it here. Huge Arsenal supporter and his family are happy.”

It will be interesting to see if he can convince the manager to give him more opportunities in the coming months. Arsenal could certainly use more cutting-edge in the final third, and Dowman has shown that he can add pace, flair, and unpredictability going forward.
He will look to establish himself as an important first-team player in the coming seasons.
Arsenal fans will be delighted to hear that the club is looking to keep one of their best young talents at the club for as long as possible. They will hope that he can fulfil his potential with the Londoners.

Liverpool are reportedly interested in improving their attacking unit with the signing of Yankuba Minteh from Brighton.
The 21-year-old has done quite well since joining the Seagulls, and he is impressing in the Premier League with his technical ability and flair. He has been described as “the next big thing”.
Liverpool could use more quality and depth in the attacking unit, and Minteh would be an exceptional acquisition. They have missed someone who can take on defenders and create opportunities out of nothing. The departure of Luis Diaz has left Liverpool more predictable going forward.
They need a quality dribbler, and Minteh could be tailor-made for them. The opportunity to join Liverpool will be quite exciting for him as well. It would be a major step up in his career. Minteh has one goal and two assists in the league this season.
According to a report from FootAfrica, Liverpool are prepared to pay over £100 million in order to get the deal done. They have recently spent a similar amount of money on Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz.
It will be interesting to see if they are prepared to break the bank once again. There is no doubt that the Gambian is an exceptional young talent. He has the quality to develop into a top-class Premier League attacker. Liverpool could nurture him into a future star. Minteh has played under Arne Slot at Feyenoord, and both parties could be keen on a reunion.
Despite signing quality players this summer, Liverpool have had a disappointing start to the season. They need to bounce back strongly, and the 21-year-old could certainly help them improve in future.
It seems unlikely that Brighton will sanction his departure anytime soon. They will want to keep him at the club for now. Liverpool might have to wait until the summer transfer window in order to get the deal done. Manchester United and Arsenal are keen on Minteh as well.

Saudi Arabian clubs are reportedly preparing another offer for Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah at the end of the current season.
The Egyptian King, a global icon and the most famous Arab footballer in the world, has long been a top target for the rapidly growing Saudi Pro League, with interest intensifying as the summer transfer window approaches.
Despite Salah signing a new contract extension with Liverpool until 2027, the interest from the Middle East remains incredibly strong.
According to transfer insider Indy Kaila, Saudis want to sign Salah in the summer.
Saudi Arabia ?? want @MoSalah in the summer.

An initial, massive offer worth around £200m was rejected by Liverpool previously, but the interest very much remains.
Salah is currently going through his worst form in a Liverpool shirt, and he still has 7 goal contributions in 13 appearances across all competitions. That stat is enough to showcase Salah’s brilliance.
Since arriving, the Egyptian has been a revelation, consistently performing season in season out.
Salah’s consistent brilliance makes him an irresistible target. His 2024/2025 season was statistically one of his best, where he was a clear contender for top individual honours.
The attacker registered an astonishing 47 goal contributions (29 goals and 18 assists) in the Premier League alone, a stunning haul that cemented his status as one of the world’s elite forwards.
Across his eight seasons at Anfield, he has amassed over 240 goals and 100 assists, an unparalleled record that proves he remains operating at the very peak of the game.
| Season | Appearances | Goals | Assists |
| 2017–2018 | 52 | 44 | 14 |
| 2018–2019 | 52 | 27 | 12 |
| 2019–2020 | 48 | 23 | 11 |
| 2020–2021 | 51 | 31 | 6 |
| 2021–2022 | 51 | 31 | 15 |
| 2022–2023 | 51 | 30 | 16 |
| 2023–2024 | 44 | 25 | 14 |
| 2024–2025 | 52 | 34 | 23 |
| 2025–2026 | 13 | 4 | 3 |
| TOTAL | 414 | 249 | 116 |
Should Salah leave for Saudi Pro League, his arrival would be a massive event for the SPL.
While the league already boasts major names like Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, Salah holds a unique position.
As a superstar Arab and Muslim athlete, he transcends football, carrying immense cultural weight across the region.
His image could become the ultimate marketing tool, driving unparalleled viewer interest, shirt sales, and global media attention, effectively crowning him the undisputed face of the Saudi Pro League and accelerating the kingdom’s ambitious sports project.
Salah might also be tempted to move this time after the recent dip in form this season under Arne Slot where he has looked out of place.
Is this going to be his final season at Anfield?

In an industry where model size is often seen as a proxy for intelligence, IBM is charting a different course — one that values efficiency over enormity, and accessibility over abstraction.
The 114-year-old tech giant's four new Granite 4.0 Nano models, released today, range from just 350 million to 1.5 billion parameters, a fraction of the size of their server-bound cousins from the likes of OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.
These models are designed to be highly accessible: the 350M variants can run comfortably on a modern laptop CPU with 8–16GB of RAM, while the 1.5B models typically require a GPU with at least 6–8GB of VRAM for smooth performance — or sufficient system RAM and swap for CPU-only inference. This makes them well-suited for developers building applications on consumer hardware or at the edge, without relying on cloud compute.
In fact, the smallest ones can even run locally on your own web browser, as Joshua Lochner aka Xenova, creator of Transformer.js and a machine learning engineer at Hugging Face, wrote on the social network X.
All the Granite 4.0 Nano models are released under the Apache 2.0 license — perfect for use by researchers and enterprise or indie developers, even for commercial usage.
They are natively compatible with llama.cpp, vLLM, and MLX and are certified under ISO 42001 for responsible AI development — a standard IBM helped pioneer.
But in this case, small doesn't mean less capable — it might just mean smarter design.
These compact models are built not for data centers, but for edge devices, laptops, and local inference, where compute is scarce and latency matters.
And despite their small size, the Nano models are showing benchmark results that rival or even exceed the performance of larger models in the same category.
The release is a signal that a new AI frontier is rapidly forming — one not dominated by sheer scale, but by strategic scaling.
The Granite 4.0 Nano family includes four open-source models now available on Hugging Face:
Granite-4.0-H-1B (~1.5B parameters) – Hybrid-SSM architecture
Granite-4.0-H-350M (~350M parameters) – Hybrid-SSM architecture
Granite-4.0-1B – Transformer-based variant, parameter count closer to 2B
Granite-4.0-350M – Transformer-based variant
The H-series models — Granite-4.0-H-1B and H-350M — use a hybrid state space architecture (SSM) that combines efficiency with strong performance, ideal for low-latency edge environments.
Meanwhile, the standard transformer variants — Granite-4.0-1B and 350M — offer broader compatibility with tools like llama.cpp, designed for use cases where hybrid architecture isn’t yet supported.
In practice, the transformer 1B model is closer to 2B parameters, but aligns performance-wise with its hybrid sibling, offering developers flexibility based on their runtime constraints.
“The hybrid variant is a true 1B model. However, the non-hybrid variant is closer to 2B, but we opted to keep the naming aligned to the hybrid variant to make the connection easily visible,” explained Emma, Product Marketing lead for Granite, during a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" (AMA) session on r/LocalLLaMA.
IBM is entering a crowded and rapidly evolving market of small language models (SLMs), competing with offerings like Qwen3, Google's Gemma, LiquidAI’s LFM2, and even Mistral’s dense models in the sub-2B parameter space.
While OpenAI and Anthropic focus on models that require clusters of GPUs and sophisticated inference optimization, IBM’s Nano family is aimed squarely at developers who want to run performant LLMs on local or constrained hardware.
In benchmark testing, IBM’s new models consistently top the charts in their class. According to data shared on X by David Cox, VP of AI Models at IBM Research:
On IFEval (instruction following), Granite-4.0-H-1B scored 78.5, outperforming Qwen3-1.7B (73.1) and other 1–2B models.
On BFCLv3 (function/tool calling), Granite-4.0-1B led with a score of 54.8, the highest in its size class.
On safety benchmarks (SALAD and AttaQ), the Granite models scored over 90%, surpassing similarly sized competitors.
Overall, the Granite-4.0-1B achieved a leading average benchmark score of 68.3% across general knowledge, math, code, and safety domains.
This performance is especially significant given the hardware constraints these models are designed for.
They require less memory, run faster on CPUs or mobile devices, and don’t need cloud infrastructure or GPU acceleration to deliver usable results.
In the early wave of LLMs, bigger meant better — more parameters translated to better generalization, deeper reasoning, and richer output.
But as transformer research matured, it became clear that architecture, training quality, and task-specific tuning could allow smaller models to punch well above their weight class.
IBM is banking on this evolution. By releasing open, small models that are competitive in real-world tasks, the company is offering an alternative to the monolithic AI APIs that dominate today’s application stack.
In fact, the Nano models address three increasingly important needs:
Deployment flexibility — they run anywhere, from mobile to microservers.
Inference privacy — users can keep data local with no need to call out to cloud APIs.
Openness and auditability — source code and model weights are publicly available under an open license.
IBM’s Granite team didn’t just launch the models and walk away — they took to Reddit’s open source community r/LocalLLaMA to engage directly with developers.
In an AMA-style thread, Emma (Product Marketing, Granite) answered technical questions, addressed concerns about naming conventions, and dropped hints about what’s next.
Notable confirmations from the thread:
A larger Granite 4.0 model is currently in training
Reasoning-focused models ("thinking counterparts") are in the pipeline
IBM will release fine-tuning recipes and a full training paper soon
More tooling and platform compatibility is on the roadmap
Users responded enthusiastically to the models’ capabilities, especially in instruction-following and structured response tasks. One commenter summed it up:
“This is big if true for a 1B model — if quality is nice and it gives consistent outputs. Function-calling tasks, multilingual dialog, FIM completions… this could be a real workhorse.”
Another user remarked:
“The Granite Tiny is already my go-to for web search in LM Studio — better than some Qwen models. Tempted to give Nano a shot.”
IBM’s push into large language models began in earnest in late 2023 with the debut of the Granite foundation model family, starting with models like Granite.13b.instruct and Granite.13b.chat. Released for use within its Watsonx platform, these initial decoder-only models signaled IBM’s ambition to build enterprise-grade AI systems that prioritize transparency, efficiency, and performance. The company open-sourced select Granite code models under the Apache 2.0 license in mid-2024, laying the groundwork for broader adoption and developer experimentation.
The real inflection point came with Granite 3.0 in October 2024 — a fully open-source suite of general-purpose and domain-specialized models ranging from 1B to 8B parameters. These models emphasized efficiency over brute scale, offering capabilities like longer context windows, instruction tuning, and integrated guardrails. IBM positioned Granite 3.0 as a direct competitor to Meta’s Llama, Alibaba’s Qwen, and Google's Gemma — but with a uniquely enterprise-first lens. Later versions, including Granite 3.1 and Granite 3.2, introduced even more enterprise-friendly innovations: embedded hallucination detection, time-series forecasting, document vision models, and conditional reasoning toggles.
The Granite 4.0 family, launched in October 2025, represents IBM’s most technically ambitious release yet. It introduces a hybrid architecture that blends transformer and Mamba-2 layers — aiming to combine the contextual precision of attention mechanisms with the memory efficiency of state-space models. This design allows IBM to significantly reduce memory and latency costs for inference, making Granite models viable on smaller hardware while still outperforming peers in instruction-following and function-calling tasks. The launch also includes ISO 42001 certification, cryptographic model signing, and distribution across platforms like Hugging Face, Docker, LM Studio, Ollama, and watsonx.ai.
Across all iterations, IBM’s focus has been clear: build trustworthy, efficient, and legally unambiguous AI models for enterprise use cases. With a permissive Apache 2.0 license, public benchmarks, and an emphasis on governance, the Granite initiative not only responds to rising concerns over proprietary black-box models but also offers a Western-aligned open alternative to the rapid progress from teams like Alibaba’s Qwen. In doing so, Granite positions IBM as a leading voice in what may be the next phase of open-weight, production-ready AI.
In the end, IBM’s release of Granite 4.0 Nano models reflects a strategic shift in LLM development: from chasing parameter count records to optimizing usability, openness, and deployment reach.
By combining competitive performance, responsible development practices, and deep engagement with the open-source community, IBM is positioning Granite as not just a family of models — but a platform for building the next generation of lightweight, trustworthy AI systems.
For developers and researchers looking for performance without overhead, the Nano release offers a compelling signal: you don’t need 70 billion parameters to build something powerful — just the right ones.
Microsoft is launching a significant expansion of its Copilot AI assistant on Tuesday, introducing tools that let employees build applications, automate workflows, and create specialized AI agents using only conversational prompts — no coding required.
The new capabilities, called App Builder and Workflows, mark Microsoft's most aggressive attempt yet to merge artificial intelligence with software development, enabling the estimated 100 million Microsoft 365 users to create business tools as easily as they currently draft emails or build spreadsheets.
"We really believe that a main part of an AI-forward employee, not just developers, will be to create agents, workflows and apps," Charles Lamanna, Microsoft's president of business and industry Copilot, said in an interview with VentureBeat. "Part of the job will be to build and create these things."
The announcement comes as Microsoft deepens its commitment to AI-powered productivity tools while navigating a complex partnership with OpenAI, the creator of the underlying technology that powers Copilot. On the same day, OpenAI completed its restructuring into a for-profit entity, with Microsoft receiving a 27% ownership stake valued at approximately $135 billion.
The new features transform Copilot from a conversational assistant into what Microsoft envisions as a comprehensive development environment accessible to non-technical workers. Users can now describe an application they need — such as a project tracker with dashboards and task assignments — and Copilot will generate a working app complete with a database backend, user interface, and security controls.
"If you're right inside of Copilot, you can now have a conversation to build an application complete with a backing database and a security model," Lamanna explained. "You can make edit requests and update requests and change requests so you can tune the app to get exactly the experience you want before you share it with other users."
The App Builder stores data in Microsoft Lists, the company's lightweight database system, and allows users to share finished applications via a simple link—similar to sharing a document. The Workflows agent, meanwhile, automates routine tasks across Microsoft's ecosystem of products, including Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, and Planner, by converting natural language descriptions into automated processes.
A third component, a simplified version of Microsoft's Copilot Studio agent-building platform, lets users create specialized AI assistants tailored to specific tasks or knowledge domains, drawing from SharePoint documents, meeting transcripts, emails, and external systems.
All three capabilities are included in the existing $30-per-month Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription at no additional cost — a pricing decision Lamanna characterized as consistent with Microsoft's historical approach of bundling significant value into its productivity suite.
"That's what Microsoft always does. We try to do a huge amount of value at a low price," he said. "If you go look at Office, you think about Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Exchange, all that for like eight bucks a month. That's a pretty good deal."
The new tools represent the culmination of a nine-year effort by Microsoft to democratize software development through its Power Platform — a collection of low-code and no-code development tools that has grown to 56 million monthly active users, according to figures the company disclosed in recent earnings reports.
Lamanna, who has led the Power Platform initiative since its inception, said the integration into Copilot marks a fundamental shift in how these capabilities reach users. Rather than requiring workers to visit a separate website or learn a specialized interface, the development tools now exist within the same conversational window they already use for AI-assisted tasks.
"One of the big things that we're excited about is Copilot — that's a tool for literally every office worker," Lamanna said. "Every office worker, just like they research data, they analyze data, they reason over topics, they also will be creating apps, agents and workflows."
The integration offers significant technical advantages, he argued. Because Copilot already indexes a user's Microsoft 365 content — emails, documents, meetings, and organizational data — it can incorporate that context into the applications and workflows it builds. If a user asks for "an app for Project Spartan," Copilot can draw from existing communications to understand what that project entails and suggest relevant features.
"If you go to those other tools, they have no idea what the heck Project Spartan is," Lamanna said, referencing competing low-code platforms from companies like Google, Salesforce, and ServiceNow. "But if you do it inside of Copilot and inside of the App Builder, it's able to draw from all that information and context."
Microsoft claims the apps created through these tools are "full-stack applications" with proper databases secured through the same identity systems used across its enterprise products — distinguishing them from simpler front-end tools offered by competitors. The company also emphasized that its existing governance, security, and data loss prevention policies automatically apply to apps and workflows created through Copilot.
While Microsoft positions the new capabilities as accessible to all office workers, Lamanna was careful to delineate where professional developers remain essential. His dividing line centers on whether a system interacts with parties outside the organization.
"Anything that leaves the boundaries of your company warrants developer involvement," he said. "If you want to build an agent and put it on your website, you should have developers involved. Or if you want to build an automation which interfaces directly with your customers, or an app or a website which interfaces directly with your customers, you want professionals involved."
The reasoning is risk-based: external-facing systems carry greater potential for data breaches, security vulnerabilities, or business errors. "You don't want people getting refunds they shouldn't," Lamanna noted.
For internal use cases — approval workflows, project tracking, team dashboards — Microsoft believes the new tools can handle the majority of needs without IT department involvement. But the company has built "no cliffs," in Lamanna's terminology, allowing users to migrate simple apps to more sophisticated platforms as needs grow.
Apps created in the conversational App Builder can be opened in Power Apps, Microsoft's full development environment, where they can be connected to Dataverse, the company's enterprise database, or extended with custom code. Similarly, simple workflows can graduate to the full Power Automate platform, and basic agents can be enhanced in the complete Copilot Studio.
"We have this mantra called no cliffs," Lamanna said. "If your app gets too complicated for the App Builder, you can always edit and open it in Power Apps. You can jump over to the richer experience, and if you're really sophisticated, you can even go from those experiences into Azure."
This architecture addresses a problem that has plagued previous generations of easy-to-use development tools: users who outgrow the simplified environment often must rebuild from scratch on professional platforms. "People really do not like easy-to-use development tools if I have to throw everything away and start over," Lamanna said.
The democratization of software development raises questions about governance, maintenance, and organizational complexity — issues Microsoft has worked to address through administrative controls.
IT administrators can view all applications, workflows, and agents created within their organization through a centralized inventory in the Microsoft 365 admin center. They can reassign ownership, disable access at the group level, or "promote" particularly useful employee-created apps to officially supported status.
"We have a bunch of customers who have this approach where it's like, let 1,000 apps bloom, and then the best ones, I go upgrade and make them IT-governed or central," Lamanna said.
The system also includes provisions for when employees leave. Apps and workflows remain accessible for 60 days, during which managers can claim ownership — similar to how OneDrive files are handled when someone departs.
Lamanna argued that most employee-created apps don't warrant significant IT oversight. "It's just not worth inspecting an app that John, Susie, and Bob use to do their job," he said. "It should concern itself with the app that ends up being used by 2,000 people, and that will pop up in that dashboard."
Still, the proliferation of employee-created applications could create challenges. Users have expressed frustration with Microsoft's increasing emphasis on AI features across its products, with some giving the Microsoft 365 mobile app one-star ratings after a recent update prioritized Copilot over traditional file access.
The tools also arrive as enterprises grapple with "shadow IT" — unsanctioned software and systems that employees adopt without official approval. While Microsoft's governance controls aim to provide visibility, the ease of creating new applications could accelerate the pace at which these systems multiply.
Microsoft's ambitions for the technology extend far beyond incremental productivity gains. Lamanna envisions a fundamental transformation of what it means to be an office worker — one where building software becomes as routine as creating spreadsheets.
"Just like how 20 years ago you put on your resume that you could use pivot tables in Excel, people are going to start saying that they can use App Builder and workflow agents, even if they're just in the finance department or the sales department," he said.
The numbers he's targeting are staggering. With 56 million people already using Power Platform, Lamanna believes the integration into Copilot could eventually reach 500 million builders. "Early days still, but I think it's certainly encouraging," he said.
The features are currently available only to customers in Microsoft's Frontier Program — an early access initiative for Microsoft 365 Copilot subscribers. The company has not disclosed how many organizations participate in the program or when the tools will reach general availability.
The announcement fits within Microsoft's larger strategy of embedding AI capabilities throughout its product portfolio, driven by its partnership with OpenAI. Under the restructured agreement announced Tuesday, Microsoft will have access to OpenAI's technology through 2032, including models that achieve artificial general intelligence (AGI) — though such systems do not yet exist. Microsoft has also begun integrating Copilot into its new companion apps for Windows 11, which provide quick access to contacts, files, and calendar information.
The aggressive integration of AI features across Microsoft's ecosystem has drawn mixed reactions. While enterprise customers have shown interest in productivity gains, the rapid pace of change and ubiquity of AI prompts have frustrated some users who prefer traditional workflows.
For Microsoft, however, the calculation is clear: if even a fraction of its user base begins creating applications and automations, it would represent a massive expansion of the effective software development workforce — and further entrench customers in Microsoft's ecosystem. The company is betting that the same natural language interface that made ChatGPT accessible to millions can finally unlock the decades-old promise of empowering everyday workers to build their own tools.
The App Builder and Workflows agents are available starting today through the Microsoft 365 Copilot Agent Store for Frontier Program participants.
Whether that future arrives depends not just on the technology's capabilities, but on a more fundamental question: Do millions of office workers actually want to become part-time software developers? Microsoft is about to find out if the answer is yes — or if some jobs are better left to the professionals.
As he reaches the final stages of recovery from his latest injury, Neymar has made it clear that his top priority is to regain full fitness and form in order to earn a spot on Brazil’s roster for the FIFA World Cup 2026. In that context, his future with Santos will play a crucial role in determining how the forward prepares for next summer’s tournament.
After agreeing to return to the club at the beginning of 2025, Ney’s contract is set to expire in December of this year. While speculation about his next move has become a top story in the Brazilian press, Santos president has made his position clear.
“The tendency is for Neymar to stay,” said Marcelo Teixeira in a conversation with reporters after Santos’ draw with Botafogo over the weekend. The club president added that he maintains “constant communication” with the player’s father and agent, but also acknowledged, “We have not yet talked about a renewal.”
Teixeira clarified that the link between Neymar and the club has reasons to continue at least until next summer. “The project is not for six months,” he explained. “It has always been focused on the World Cup — for Santos and for Brazil.”
However, far from guaranteeing a renewal for the 33-year-old forward, the Santos president noted that key issues will still need to be discussed. “We will evaluate, review the financial aspects, and assess the player’s technical condition,” said Teixeira.
While the media and fans around the world are eager to know what will happen with Neymar after December — with some even imagining a move to Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami — the current reality at Santos allows little room for distraction.
The club is in a precarious position in Serie A: they currently sit 16th in the standings with 32 points from 29 matches, just one point clear of the relegation zone. Ahead of them lie only nine more games to determine their fate.
Given this situation, Marcelo Teixeira made it clear that discussions about Neymar’s renewal are, for now, secondary. “We’ll evaluate that in due time,” said the president. “Santos is focused on the competition. Every match is a final.”
With the urgent need to secure victories and avoid relegation, Santos are eagerly awaiting Neymar’s return to the field. He last played on September 14, before a hamstring injury sidelined him. The forward’s recovery has now lasted a month and a half, and he is expected to return in November to help the team through the decisive stretch of the season.
Beyond that short-term goal, Neymar also needs to regain consistency at Santos — both in staying healthy and in maintaining his level of play. He knows that only under those conditions will he be able to earn a place in Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil squad for the World Cup.
Al Nassr kicked off the season in top form, securing 10 consecutive wins. As a result, they emerged as clear favorites to beat Al Ittihad in their King’s Cup match. However, they suffered a surprising elimination from the tournament, marking their second failed attempt after the Super Cup. After the game, Cristiano Ronaldo swiftly delivered a short eight-word message to his teammates and fans.
Karim Benzema opened the scoring for Al Ittihad, but Angelo quickly equalized for Al Nassr. However, Jorge Jesus’ team struggled to maintain a solid defense, allowing Houssem Aouar to capitalize on the gaps and score the winning goal. Despite having a numerical advantage on the field after Ahmed Al-Julaydan’s ejection, Cristiano Ronaldo’s team could not mount a comeback, prompting the veteran to react on social media.
Cristiano Ronaldo failed to shine in today’s game against Al Ittihad, finishing the game with just one shot on goal. After his lackluster performance, the Portuguese star broke his silence following Al Nassr’s defeat just over an hour after the final whistle, saying: “We stand tall, learn, and move forward together,” he wrote, via X, formerly Twitter.
With today’s defeat, Al Nassr suffered their second lost of the season, after their Supercup defeat against Al Ahli, once again highlighting the team’s persistent defensive issues despite the addition of Iñigo Martinez. Following this setback, fans have questioned the performances of Abdullah Alkhaibari and Marcelo Brozovic, expressing concerns about their ongoing lack of defensive solidity.
Although Al Nassr had been shining offensively in several consecutive games, only Angelo, Kingsley Coman, and Sadio Mane managed to shine. As a result, not only were defensive lapses exposed, but also the performace of Joao Felix and Cristiano Ronaldo, who had been leading the team in previous games. In response, coach Jorge Jesus analyzed the team’s defeat, making it clear that the Portuguese veteran was not to blame for today’s result.
“This was our third match against Al Ittihad… We won two matches and lost one. The first half was evenly matched…After the red card, we tried to equalize but didn’t succeed, and the opponent defended well… As for Cristiano, we needed him, whether for aerial balls or set pieces. Our problem today was not Cristiano, but fatigue and exhaustion… The loss has nothing to do with tactical issues,” Jorge Jesus said in the post-game press conference.
Just before King’s Cup match against Al Ittihad, Al Nassr faced a busy schedule, playing against Goa in the AFC Champions League 2 and against Al Hazm in the Saudi Pro League within a span of just six days previous today’s game. For this reason, coach Jorge Jesus exposed that his roster was not in peak physical condition due to the demanding schedule, setting aside criticism of Cristiano and his performance in the game.
While competing in the Eastern Conference Playoffs of Major League Soccer, Inter Miami are also focused on building their roster for the coming years. Just days after announcing Lionel Messi’s new deal, the club confirmed a contract extension for another key player.
“Inter Miami CF announced today it has signed midfielder Yannick Bright to a contract extension,” the Herons said in a statement published on their official website on Tuesday. The Florida side explained that the new deal will run for three years, through the end of the 2028 campaign, with an option for one additional season.
It is a key decision not only for the present of the Italian midfielder, who has been frequently used by Javier Mascherano throughout this year, but also for the future. With Sergio Busquets having announced his retirement, Inter Miami will need players to fill that area of the field, and Bright’s continuity will be a relief when considering the team’s priorities for the next transfer window.
The current campaign is Yannick’s second since joining Miami. Throughout 2025, he appeared in 39 matches across MLS, the Concacaf Champions Cup, and the Leagues Cup. However, during the FIFA Club World Cup, he was left out of the squad due to a muscle injury.
Un nuovo capitolo 📖💗
— Inter Miami CF (@InterMiamiCF) October 28, 2025
Yannick Bright continues his journey in South Florida ✍️ More info here: https://t.co/guIZGwyv51 pic.twitter.com/W1Yixhh4s0
Of the 39 matches he played this year, Bright started in 21, highlighting his importance to the team during a demanding season with many competitions on multiple fronts. In most of his appearances, he partnered with Busquets in midfield, and his role grew especially after the departure of Federico Redondo to Elche.
In recent weeks, two of Inter Miami’s superstars have announced that they will retire from professional soccer at the end of this season. Sergio Busquets was the first to share the news, followed by Jordi Alba, who had signed a contract extension just a few months earlier.
As a counterbalance, the club’s management has taken steps to secure the future of several key players. The most notable case, of course, is that of Lionel Messi, who announced last week that he had signed a new contract. Joining him were Noah Allen and David Ruiz.
Among the players whose contracts expire at the end of this season are other regular starters such as Tadeo Allende, Marcelo Weigandt, and Ian Fray. Luis Suarez is in the same situation, and there is significant attention on whether he will follow Messi’s path or make a decision similar to those of Busquets and Alba.
Finally, there are four players whose contracts are also set to expire on December 31, 2025, but under different circumstances. Rodrigo De Paul, Baltasar Rodriguez, Rocco Rios Novo, and Allen Obando are currently on loan, though Inter Miami hold the option to make their moves permanent.
Aside from the ongoing negotiations to renew contracts for next year’s roster, Inter Miami have much more immediate objectives. Their current focus is on advancing to the next round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs—something they failed to achieve last season despite winning the Supporters’ Shield.
In the opening match of the first round, the Herons defeated Nashville SC 2-0, taking a crucial step toward the Eastern semifinals. To secure qualification, they will need another victory, this time on the road, next Saturday. If they fail to do so, a third and decisive game will be played at Chase Stadium to determine which team advances.
Giovanni Reyna has seen his place in the US Men’s National Team slip away in recent months, struggling to earn the trust of new head coach Mauricio Pochettino and his staff since the Argentine’s appointment. With less than eight months until the start of the 2026 World Cup, the young midfielder has opened up about his dreams of returning to the national team.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Reyna shared his thoughts on the upcoming World Cup and his desire to be part of the USMNT: “I do obviously think about it pretty often as it’s somewhere where I need and want to be. But I try to focus daily here, stay present here, work here every day, and hopefully believe everything will fall into place.“
Reyna has battled injuries over the past few seasons, which have made it difficult for him to stay in Pochettino’s plans. Since the coach’s debut, the midfielder has only been called up once, for the CONCACAF Nations League Finals back in March, and hasn’t featured for the national team since then.
For the 2025–26 season, Reyna completed a move from Borussia Dortmund to Borussia Mönchengladbach in a transfer worth €4 million. After six years with Dortmund and limited playing time, the USMNT star made the switch in search of more minutes and a path back to international football.
Reyna also revealed Pochettino’s message regarding what he needs to do to earn a recall ahead of the World Cup: “I think Pochettino was very clear with saying, ‘You need to play, perform and then if you do that then you have a good chance to come in again.’ It’s all on me now.”
During the 2024–25 campaign, Reyna struggled to find consistent playing time at Borussia Dortmund, while a groin strain sidelined him for several games. As a result, he fell down the pecking order, finishing the season with just 627 minutes across 26 matches, an average of 24 minutes per game.
Given that scenario, Reyna decided to move on from Dortmund, the club he joined from the New York City FC Academy in 2019. So far in the 2025–26 season, the 22-year-old has logged 120 minutes across four matches with Mönchengladbach and is gradually regaining his fitness while aiming to become a regular starter once again.
Bayern Munich have kicked off the season in top form, maintaining an impressive unbeaten streak. One of the standout players in this strong start is Harry Kane. Despite being 32 years old, he appears to be in his best shape ever. After scoring 20 goals in 12 games, the Englishman is emerging as a key figure for the team’s immediate future. However, the German club is also eyeing a Barcelona target for its long-term plans.
As Sky Sports reported, Bayern Munich are pursuing Fisnik Asllani as a long-term replacement for Harry Kane. However, his arrival might not be as straightforward as expected since Barcelona are also targeting him to succeed Robert Lewandowski. With a reportedly low release clause, the 23-year-old Hoffenheim striker has attracted attention from multiple teams.
Even Asllani is not a world-wide known talent, he has been fascinating fans with his impressing scoring prowess. In the 2024-25 season, Fisnik was able to score 19 goals and contribute with 10 assists in 37 games in the Bundesliga 2. After getting a promotion to Bundesliga, many expected his goal ratio to decrease, but he keeps leading Hoffenheim scoring 6 goals in 5 games in the current season.
Given his impressive performances, both Bayern and Barcelona view him as a potential top-class striker. If the Spanish side does not renew Lewandowski’s contract, he may have a better chance to regain a starting role in the lineup. Meanwhile, the German side reportedly considers pairing him with Kane to form a dynamic offensive duo, ensuring he receives ample playing time.
Harry Kane has reached peak performance since joining Bayern Munich. With an impressive scoring start, the English star continues to lead the offense. The potential arrival of Fisnik Asllani, however, raises questions about whether the German side might replace the veteran striker with the young up-and-comer. Nonetheless, Sky Sports reports that the 32-year-old will remain a cornerstone of the team until his contract ends.
At the end of his contract in June 2027, Kane will be 34 years old. This may lead Bayern to offer him a short-term renewal, a strategy they have followed over the years. Considering this, the English star’s continuity may not be as assured as expected and the German side plans to have an immediate solution capable of scoring. Additionally, pairing Asllani with Kane will ease the adaptation of the 23-year-old star and maintain the team’s competitiveness.

Dwie kobiety zostały poszkodowane w wypadku, do którego doszło po 17:00 w powiecie mogileńskim. Karetka i samochód osobowy zderzyły się na drodze wojewódzkiej nr 254 w Dąbrowie.
- Informacja o wypadku wpłynęła do służb około godziny 17:20 - mówi aspirant sztabowy Krzysztof Meller, oficer prasowy Komendy Powiatowej PSP w Mogilnie. - W miejscowości Dąbrowa, na drodze wojewódzkiej nr 254 doszło do zderzenia samochodu osobowego z karetką transportową. Okazało się że pojazdami podróżowały łącznie cztery osoby: dwie w karetce transportowej - nie było tam na szczęście pacjentów - i dwie w samochodzie osobowym. Pasażerka z osobówki uskarżała się na ból w klatce piersiowej, natomiast ratowniczka medyczna z karetki pogotowia mówiła o ogólnych potłuczeniach. Na miejsce zostały wezwane trzy karetki pogotowia oraz policja. Podjęto decyzję o zabraniu pasażerki do szpitala do Inowrocławia, a ratowniczki medycznej do szpitala w Żninie. Na czas działania służb droga w miejscu tego zdarzenia była zablokowana.
Zakaz nocnej sprzedaży alkoholu w całej Bydgoszczy? Domaga się tego Partia Razem. Członkowie ugrupowania zebrali w tej sprawie ponad 900 podpisów i przesłali je do przewodniczącej bydgoskiej Rady Miasta.
W środę radni zdecydują, czy wprowadzić tzw. ciszę alkoholową w mieście. Projekt uchwały zakłada zakaz sprzedaży alkoholu od godz. 23:00 do 6:00, członkowie Partii Razem apelują, by zakaz obowiązywał już od godz. 22:00. - To zdecydowanie poprawi bezpieczeństwo w mieście - zapewnia Emilia Goryńska- Radtke, koordynatorka zespołu ds. ciszy alkoholowej. - Zależy nam, żeby zakaz obowiązywał od godziny 22:00, czyli tak, jak w tej jest na Starym Mieście. Przypomnijmy: chodzi o zakaz sprzedaży alkoholu do spożycia poza miejscem zakupu, czyli nie dotyczy to restauracji i barów. - Patrząc na przykłady innych miast takich jak: Gdańsk, Wrocław, Słupsk, czy wcześniej Olsztyn, wprowadzenie takiego zakazu sprawia, że ludzie w mieście czują się bezpieczniej. Wieczorami jest mnie interwencji policji, straży miejskiej, pogotowia ratunkowego, a przede wszystkim jest mniej zgłoszeń dotyczących zaburzeń porządku publicznego…

Google DeepMind researchers have developed BlockRank, a new method for ranking and retrieving information more efficiently in large language models (LLMs).
What BlockRank changes. ICR is expensive and slow. Models use a process called “attention,” where every word compares itself to every other word. Ranking hundreds of documents at once gets exponentially harder for LLMs.
How BlockRank works. BlockRank restructures how an LLM “pays attention” to text. Instead of every document attending to every other document, each one focuses only on itself and the shared instructions.
By the numbers. In experiments using Mistral-7B, Google’s team found that BlockRank:
Why we care. BlockRank could change how future AI-driven retrieval and ranking systems work to reward user intent, clarity, and relevance. That means (in theory) clear, focused content that aligns with why a person is searching (not just what they type) should increasingly win.
What’s next. Google/DeepMind researchers are continuing to redefine what it means to “rank” information in the age of generative AI. The future of search is advancing fast – and it’s fascinating to watch it evolve in real time.
Bitcoin is showing early signs of strength as it attempts to reclaim the $115,000 level. After weeks of mixed sentiment and heavy selling pressure, momentum appears to be turning slightly bullish. The recent weekly close above $114,500 has confirmed a reclaim of the Short-Term Holder (STH) Realized Price, a key on-chain threshold currently sitting near $113,000. This metric represents the average cost basis of recent market participants and often serves as a pivotal line separating bullish from bearish sentiment.
Top analyst Darkfost shared that this reclaim is an encouraging signal, reflecting renewed buyer confidence after a volatile October. However, he also cautioned that Bitcoin’s position must still be monitored closely. A rejection at current levels could lead to a renewed correction phase, mirroring the pattern seen in 2024, when BTC faced multiple failed attempts before regaining upward momentum.
For now, the market sits at a delicate crossroads — consolidating below resistance while holding critical on-chain support. If Bitcoin can sustain this structure and push convincingly above $115K, analysts believe it could open the door for a broader bullish continuation and potentially a retest of the $120K region in the weeks ahead.
According to top analyst Darkfost, Bitcoin’s reclaim of the Short-Term Holder (STH) Realized Price around $113,000 could mark a crucial turning point for market structure. He notes that during the 2024 correction, BTC faced four failed attempts to break above this same metric. Each rejection was driven by short-term holders selling at their break-even points — a typical psychological reaction that delays trend reversals. Once Bitcoin finally sustained above the STH Realized Price, however, the market quickly regained momentum and entered a new expansion phase.
This time, the dynamic appears similar. If Bitcoin successfully consolidates above this zone, it could pave the way for a strong bullish impulse and potentially a new all-time high (ATH) in the short term. The STH Realized Price acts as a measure of conviction among recent investors; holding above it suggests growing confidence and a shift from capitulation to accumulation.
Darkfost also highlights another critical observation: throughout the current bull cycle, Bitcoin has never fallen below the yearly STH Realized Price. Each time the price neared that level, a rebound followed — reaffirming it as a structural support for the broader trend.
Still, caution remains essential. A breakdown below the $94,000 mark — the current yearly STH Realized Price — would likely signal a deeper market shift. Such a move could mark the transition from a mid-cycle correction into a more prolonged bearish phase.
For now, the data suggests resilience, not weakness. As long as BTC remains above its short-term realized threshold, the broader uptrend remains intact — with potential for the next major rally if buying pressure continues to build above $115K.
Bitcoin is currently trading around $114,360, consolidating after a brief rally that tested resistance near $115,800–$117,500. The chart shows that BTC successfully reclaimed the 200-period moving average (red line) on the 4-hour timeframe, a level that had acted as resistance throughout mid-October. This reclaim is an encouraging short-term signal, but momentum appears to be slowing as traders await the next catalyst.
The $113,000–$114,000 range now serves as immediate support — aligning with the Short-Term Holder (STH) Realized Price, a key on-chain level that reflects the cost basis of recent buyers. Holding this zone could allow bulls to consolidate strength before another attempt at breaking above $117,500, the main horizontal resistance that capped previous rallies.
On the downside, failure to maintain above the 200-MA could trigger a retest of $111,000, where the 100-MA (green line) provides secondary support. Trading volume remains subdued, reflecting investor caution ahead of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision later this week.
Bitcoin remains in a constructive phase as long as it holds above $113K. Sustained consolidation above this level would reinforce bullish structure — while a decisive break above $117,500 could open the path toward $120,000+ in the short term.

Dogecoin (DOGE) is facing a steep market cooldown after weeks of heightened trading activity in early October. Data from CoinGlass shows that both Open Interest (OI) and trading volume for DOGE futures have crashed, indicating a sharp decline in the meme coin’s momentum. The latest figures reveal a significant pullback in derivatives activity and spot market participation, suggesting that traders may be retreating from speculative positions as volatility eases.
Dogecoin’s Open Interest has plunged dramatically from its October highs, reflecting a rapid exodus of leveraged traders from the market. According to CoinGlass, total exchange DOGE futures Open Interest has fallen over 62% from a peak of $5.03 billion on October 7 to $1.88 billion on October 28. This represents a drop to approximately 9.41 billion DOGE, valued at $ 0.20 per token.
Despite the decline in Open Interest, Binance, BitMEX, and Bybit continue to lead as the top exchanges with the highest Dogecoin futures activity. Still, the downturn has been widespread across exchanges. Kucoin recorded the largest drop in recent hours at 3.1%, followed closely by Bitget, which saw a 2.27% decline. Over the last 24 hours, Bitunix recorded the steepest drop in Open Interest, down 15.86%, while Crypto.com saw a 7.36% reduction.
Even Binance, which consistently leads Dogecoin futures trading, has seen a notable pullback. CoinGlass reports that the exchange’s Open Interest peaked at $964.7 million on October 7, marking a monthly high. Since then, it has fallen to $380.29 million (1.9 billion DOGE), representing a staggering 60.6% crash in just over three weeks.
Trading volume for Dogecoin has mirrored the collapse in Open Interest. CoinGlass data shows that Dogecoin’s futures volume heatmap across major crypto exchanges is in the red zone. Total trading volume had spiked to $20.45 billion on October 11, following the devastating crypto flash crash on October 10, but has since plummeted to $5.31 billion as of October 28. This represents a whopping 74% decline.
On individual exchanges, Binance’s DOGE trading volume dropped by 9.35% in the past 24 hours, while OKX saw a 13.69% decline. CoinEx recorded the largest volume decrease at 26.1%, followed by Gate.io at 23.94%. Popular exchanges like Bitget, Kucoin, and Bitunix also reported varying declines of 4.96%, 20.37% and 13.16%, respectively, as overall market liquidity thinned.
However, a few exchanges bucked the downward trend, recording slight gains. dYdX saw its DOGE volume surge by 167.61%, HTX increased by 49.93%, and Hyperliquid rose by 23.88%. Bybit and MEXC also recorded modest gains of 24.98% and 1.88%, respectively.
Alongside its decline in trading volume, CoinGlass notes that Dogecoin’s price performance has slipped. The meme coin is currently trading at $0.20, down 13.19% over the past 30 days and 2.86% in the last 24 hours.
The XRP price recently saw a sharp drop that was very scary for many traders, and some in the crypto market think the chart looks weak now. However, an analyst on X, Cryptoinsightuk, disagrees. The analyst explains that XRP is not bearish right now, even after the 50% flash crash, and the price can still move higher when liquidity returns.
Cryptoinsightuk says that XRP has “no downside liquidity.” The analyst explains that sellers are not strong, so there is very little liquidity sitting below the current price level. It does not mean the XRP price will stay still, although it may move up and down for now. At some point, exchanges and market makers may push the price higher into deeper liquidity, where they can make money.
The analyst says that the flash crash does not damage the weekly chart. The weekly picture still shows a normal trend even after the sharp fall. He notes that online discussions are focusing on the monthly chart and using it to claim that XRP is weak, but the monthly chart alone is only one timeframe and not enough to call the price truly bearish. The slight drop shows weakness only on lower timeframes, not in the broader market structure, and Cryptoinsightuk believes the bigger structure is still pointing up, which is a key reason he does not see a bearish trend forming even after the 50% flash crash.
The analyst’s comment about market makers also gives hope to traders who worry that the XRP price will keep falling. When market makers see better opportunities at higher price levels, the price often moves up to where they want to make profits. It gives XRP a path to recovery later, rather than staying low. He keeps pointing to the weekly chart because it shows that XRP still holds its larger bullish setup even after the fear caused by the flash crash.
Cryptoinsightuk further adds that higher timeframes are always more reliable for reading price trends and recommends looking at the XRP price chart over the past three months. In his view, the three-month chart looks good and supports a strong long-term trend.
He also looks at the daily RSI, and it recently hit an oversold area. When this happened the last time, the XRP price later saw a strong move up. The analyst shared a fractal a few weeks ago that shows what a new “measured move” could look like if this same pattern repeats.
The fractal suggests the XRP price could rise again from here. The oversold RSI signal suggests that buyers could return and push the price higher in the future.
Smart contracts changed how agreements run online. There’s one big gap, though: blockchains do not fetch outside data by themselves. That limitation created an entire discipline blockchain oracle development and it now sits at the heart of serious dApp work.
Think through a few common builds. A lending protocol needs live asset prices. A crop-insurance product needs verified weather. An NFT game needs randomness that players cannot predict. None of that works without an oracle. Get the oracle piece wrong and you invite price shocks, liquidations at the wrong levels, or flat-out exploits.
This guide lays out the problem, the tools, and the practical moves that keep your contracts safe while still pulling the real-world facts you need.
Blockchains are deterministic and isolated by design. Every node must reach the same result from the same inputs. That’s perfect for on-chain math, and terrible for “go ask an API.” If a contract could call random endpoints, nodes might see different responses and break consensus.
That creates the classic oracle problem: you need outside data, but the moment you trust one server, you add a single point of failure. One feed can be bribed, hacked, or just go down. Now a supposedly trust-minimised system depends on one party.
The stakes are higher in finance. A bad price pushes liquidations over the edge, drains pools, or lets attackers walk off with funds. We’ve seen it. The fix isn’t “don’t use oracles.” The fix is to design oracles with clear trust assumptions, meaningful decentralisation, and defenses that trigger before damage spreads.
Choosing the right fit starts with a quick model map. These types of blockchain oracles for dApps cover most needs:
Pull data from web APIs or databases: asset prices, sports results, flight delays, shipping status. This is the workhorse for DeFi, prediction markets, and general app data.
Feed physical measurements to the chain: GPS, temperature, humidity, RFID events. Supply chains, pharmaceutical cold chains, and logistics rely on these.
Aggregate readings from many independent sources and filter outliers. If four feeds say $2,000 and one says $200, the system discards the odd one out.
Perform heavy work off-chain (randomness, model inference, large dataset crunching) and return results plus proofs. You get richer logic without blowing up gas.
This choice mirrors broader blockchain tradeoffs.
Centralized oracles
Decentralized oracle networks
A good rule: match the design to the blast radius. If the data touches balances, liquidations, or settlements, decentralize and add fallbacks. If it powers a UI badge or a leaderboard, a lightweight source can be fine.
Hybrid is common: decentralized feeds for core money logic, lighter services for low-stakes features.
Choosing from the best Oracle providers for blockchain developers requires understanding each platform’s strengths and ideal use cases. Here’s what you need to know about the major players.
Chainlink dominates the space for good reason. It’s the most battle-tested, most widely integrated oracle network, supporting nearly every major blockchain. Chainlink offers an impressive suite of services: Data Feeds provide continuously updated price information for hundreds of assets; VRF (Verifiable Random Function) generates provably fair randomness for gaming and NFTs; Automation triggers smart contract functions based on time or conditions; CCIP enables secure cross-chain communication.
The extensive documentation, large community, and proven track record make Chainlink the default choice for many projects. Major DeFi protocols like Aave, Synthetix, and Compound rely on Chainlink price feeds. If you’re unsure where to start, Chainlink is usually a safe bet.
Band Protocol offers a compelling alternative, particularly for projects prioritizing cost efficiency and speed. Built on Cosmos, Band uses a delegated proof-of-stake consensus mechanism where validators compete to provide accurate data. The cross-chain capabilities are excellent, and transaction costs are notably lower than some alternatives. The band has gained traction, especially in Asian markets and among projects requiring frequent price updates without excessive fees.
API3 takes a fascinating first-party approach that eliminates middlemen. Instead of oracle nodes fetching data from APIs, API providers themselves run the oracle nodes using API3’s Airnode technology. This direct connection reduces costs, increases transparency, and potentially improves data quality since it comes straight from the source. The governance system allows token holders to curate data feeds and manage the network. API3 works particularly well when you want data directly from authoritative sources.
Pyth Network specializes in high-frequency financial data, which is exactly what sophisticated trading applications need. Traditional oracle networks update prices every few minutes; Pyth provides sub-second updates by aggregating data from major trading firms, market makers, and exchanges. If you’re building perpetual futures, options protocols, or anything requiring extremely current market data, Pyth delivers what slower oracles can’t.
Tellor offers a unique pull-based oracle where data reporters stake tokens and compete to provide information. Users request specific data, reporters submit answers with stake backing their claims, and disputes can challenge incorrect data. The economic incentives align well for custom data queries that other oracles don’t support. Tellor shines for less frequent updates or niche data needs.
Chronicle Protocol focuses on security and transparency for DeFi price feeds, employing validator-driven oracles with cryptographic verification. It’s gained adoption among projects prioritizing security audits and transparent data provenance.
| Oracle Provider | Best For | Key Strength | Supported Chains | Average Cost |
| Chainlink | General-purpose, high-security applications | Most established, comprehensive services | 15+ including Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, Avalanche, Arbitrum | Medium-High (Data Feeds sponsored, VRF costs $5-10) |
| Band Protocol | Cost-sensitive projects, frequent updates | Low fees, fast updates | 20+ via Cosmos IBC | Low-Medium |
| API3 | First-party data requirements | Direct API provider integration | 10+ including Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche | Medium |
| Pyth Network | High-frequency trading, DeFi derivatives | Sub-second price updates | 40+ including Solana, EVM chains | Low-Medium |
| Tellor | Custom data queries, niche information | Flexible request system | 10+ including Ethereum, Polygon | Variable |
| Chronicle Protocol | DeFi protocols prioritizing transparency | Validator-based security | Ethereum, L2s | Medium |
You don’t need theory here — you need a build plan.
1) Pin down the data
What do you need? How fresh must it be? What precision? A lending protocol might want updates every minute; a rainfall trigger might settle once per day.
2) Design for cost
Every on-chain update costs gas. Cache values if several functions use the same reading. Batch work when you can. Keep hot paths cheap.
3) Validate everything
Refuse nonsense. If a stablecoin price shows $1.42, reject it. If a feed hasn’t updated within your time window, block actions that depend on it.
4) Plan for failure
Add circuit breakers, pause routes, and manual overrides for emergencies. If the primary feed dies, switch to a fallback with clear recorded governance.
5) Test like a pessimist
Simulate stale data, zero values, spikes, slow updates, and timeouts. Fork a mainnet, read real feeds, and try to break your own assumptions.
6) Monitor in production
Alert on stale updates, weird jumps, and unusual cadence. Many disasters arrive with a small warning you can catch.
Let’s get hands-on with a step-by-step integrate oracle in Solidity tutorial. I’ll show you how to implement smart contract external data oracles using Chainlink, walking through a complete example.
First, you’ll need a proper development setup. Install Node.js, then initialize a Hardhat project. Install the Chainlink contracts package:
npm install –save @chainlink/contracts
Grab some testnet ETH from a faucet for the network you’re targeting. Sepolia is currently recommended for Ethereum testing.
Here’s a practical contract that fetches ETH/USD prices. Notice how we’re importing the Chainlink interface and setting up the aggregator:
// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.19;
import “@chainlink/contracts/src/v0.8/interfaces/AggregatorV3Interface.sol”;
contract TokenPriceConsumer {
AggregatorV3Interface internal priceFeed;
Login
constructor(address _priceFeed) {
priceFeed = AggregatorV3Interface(_priceFeed);
}
function getLatestPrice() public view returns (int) {
(
uint80 roundId,
int price,
uint startedAt,
uint updatedAt,
uint80 answeredInRound
) = priceFeed.latestRoundData();
require(price > 0, "Invalid price data");
require(updatedAt > 0, "Round not complete");
require(answeredInRound >= roundId, "Stale price");
return price;
}
function getPriceWithDecimals() public view returns (int, uint8) {
int price = getLatestPrice();
uint8 decimals = priceFeed.decimals();
return (price, decimals);
}The validation checks are crucial. We’re verifying that the price is positive, the round completed, and we’re not receiving stale data. These simple checks prevent numerous potential issues.
For randomness and custom data requests, you’ll use a different pattern. Here’s how VRF integration works:
import “@chainlink/contracts/src/v0.8/VRFConsumerBaseV2.sol”;
import “@chainlink/contracts/src/v0.8/interfaces/VRFCoordinatorV2Interface.sol”;
contract RandomNumberConsumer is VRFConsumerBaseV2 {
VRFCoordinatorV2Interface COORDINATOR;
uint64 subscriptionId;
bytes32 keyHash;
uint32 callbackGasLimit = 100000;
uint16 requestConfirmations = 3;
uint32 numWords = 2;
uint256[] public randomWords;
uint256 public requestId;
constructor(uint64 _subscriptionId, address _vrfCoordinator, bytes32 _keyHash)
VRFConsumerBaseV2(_vrfCoordinator)
{
COORDINATOR = VRFCoordinatorV2Interface(_vrfCoordinator);
subscriptionId = _subscriptionId;
keyHash = _keyHash;
}
function requestRandomWords() external returns (uint256) {
requestId = COORDINATOR.requestRandomWords(
keyHash,
subscriptionId,
requestConfirmations,
callbackGasLimit,
numWords
);
return requestId;
}
function fulfillRandomWords(
uint256 _requestId,
uint256[] memory _randomWords
) internal override {
randomWords = _randomWords;
}This two-transaction pattern (request then fulfill) is standard for operations requiring computation or external processing.
Once you can fetch oracle data, integrate it into your application’s core functions. Here’s an example for a collateralized lending system:
function calculateLiquidationThreshold(
address user,
uint256 collateralAmount
) public view returns (bool shouldLiquidate) {
int ethPrice = getLatestPrice();
require(ethPrice > 0, “Cannot fetch price”);
uint256 collateralValue = collateralAmount * uint256(ethPrice) / 1e8;
uint256 borrowedValue = borrowedAmounts[user];
uint256 collateralRatio = (collateralValue * 100) / borrowedValue;
return collateralRatio < 150; // Liquidate if under 150%Deploy to testnet and verify everything works. Use Chainlink’s testnet price feeds, available on their documentation. Test edge cases systematically:
Only after thorough testnet validation should you consider mainnet deployment.
Implementing oracle services smart contract integration for production requires following established security and efficiency patterns.
Never assume oracle data is correct. Always implement validation logic that checks returned values against expected ranges. If you’re querying a stablecoin price, flag anything outside $0.95 to $1.05. For ETH prices, reject values that differ by more than 10% from the previous reading unless there’s a clear reason for such movement.
Stale data causes problems. Always verify the timestamp of oracle updates. Set maximum acceptable ages based on your application’s needs. A high-frequency trading application might reject data older than 60 seconds, while an insurance contract might accept hours-old information.
Oracles can and do fail. Your contracts must handle this gracefully rather than bricking. Include administrative functions allowing trusted parties to pause contracts or manually override oracle data during emergencies. Implement automatic circuit breakers that halt operations when oracle behavior becomes anomalous.
Oracle interactions cost gas. Minimize calls by caching data when appropriate. If multiple functions need the same oracle data, fetch it once and pass it around rather than making multiple oracle calls. Use view functions whenever possible since they don’t cost gas when called externally.
For critical operations, query multiple oracles and compare results. If you’re processing a $1 million transaction, spending extra gas to verify data with three different oracle providers is worthwhile. Implement median calculations or require consensus before proceeding with high-value operations.
Set up monitoring infrastructure that alerts you to oracle issues. Track update frequencies, data ranges, and gas costs. Anomalies often signal problems before they cause disasters. Services like Tenderly and Defender can monitor oracle interactions and alert you to irregularities.
Maintain clear documentation of every oracle dependency: addresses, update frequencies, expected data formats, and fallback procedures. Future maintainers need to understand your oracle architecture to safely upgrade or troubleshoot systems.
Oracle providers evolve, and you may need to switch providers. Use proxy patterns or similar upgrade mechanisms, allowing you to change oracle addresses without redeploying core contract logic. This flexibility proves invaluable as the Oracle landscape develops.
Blockchain oracle development is the hinge that lets smart contracts act on real facts. Start by sizing the blast radius: when data touches balances or liquidations, use decentralized feeds, aggregate sources, enforce time windows, and wire circuit breakers. Choose providers by fit—Chainlink for general reliability, Pyth for ultra-fresh prices, Band for cost and cadence, API3 for first-party data, Tellor for bespoke queries, Chronicle for auditability.
Then harden the pipeline: validate every value, cap staleness, cache to save gas, and monitor for drift in cadence, variance, and fees. Finally, plan for failure with documented fallbacks and upgradeable endpoints, and test on forks until guards hold. Move facts on-chain without central choke points, and your dApp simply works.
A service that delivers external facts to smart contracts in a way every node can verify.
Match to value at risk. High-value money flows need decentralised, aggregated feeds. Low-stakes features can run on simpler sources.
Chainlink is the broad, battle-tested default. Use Pyth for ultra-fast prices, Band for economical frequency, API3 for first-party data, Tellor for custom pulls, and Chronicle when auditability is the top ask.
Yes. Reduce risk with decentralisation, validation, time windows, circuit breakers, and multiple sources for important calls.
Deploy to a testnet, use the provider’s test feeds, and force failures: stale rounds, delayed updates, and absurd values. Ship only after your guards catch every bad case.
Blockchain oracle development is now core infrastructure. The guide explains why blockchains cannot call external APIs and how oracles bridge that gap without creating a single point of failure. It outlines oracle types, including software, hardware, inbound, outbound, consensus, and compute-enabled models. It compares centralized speed with decentralized resilience and advises matching the design to the value at risk. It reviews major providers: Chainlink for broad coverage, Band for low cost, API3 for first-party data, Pyth for ultra-fast prices, Tellor for custom queries, and Chronicle for transparent DeFi feeds. It then gives a build plan: define data needs, control gas, validate values and timestamps, add circuit breakers and fallbacks, test for failure, and monitor in production. Solidity examples show price feeds and VRF patterns. Real uses include DeFi, insurance, supply chains, gaming, cross-chain messaging, and ESG data. The takeout is simple: design the oracle layer with safety first, since user funds depend on it.

დილით ჩამოვედი სახლიდან და ვნახე, რომ მანქანის შუშა დამსხვრეული იყო. დავრეკე სადაზღვევოში, იქიდან, ალბათ, პოლიციას შეატყობინეს და დამიბარეს პოლიციაში. უბნის პოლიციის უფროსი გადამემტერა, აქეთ მაბრალებდა, შენ თვითონ გატეხე და გაუხსნელ საქმეს მტენიო და მსგავსი სისულელეები… შენნაირები მე უბანში არ მჭირდება, არაფერში გამომადგები, ჩაშვებით შენ არავის ჩაუშვებო. დამიჭირეს შუშის გატეხვის გამო, დამიდეს იარაღი და ნარკოტიკი, მარიხუანის მოხმარება თუ ანალიზში არ ამოგივარდა, ამოირჩიე, მაშინ რომელიმეს ჩაგიდებთ, მაინც დაგიჭერთო. ამომიგდო მარიხუანა და ასე დამიჭირეს პირველად და ჩამსვეს გლდანის ციხეში წინასწარ ორთვიან პატიმრობაში. მერე გირაო გადავიხადე და გამომიშვეს. ასე დამიჭირეს ოთხჯერ, გადავიხდიდი გირაოს, გამომიშვებდნენ, მერე ისევ მიჭერდნენ.
– როგორც ვიცი, კარანტინის დაშლის დროს ოლეგ ფაცაციას უცემიხარ…
– კარანტინი გამატარეს ოთხჯერ და ბოლოს ამიყვანეს კამერაში. გამომიყვანდნენ, გამატარებდნენ, მცემდნენ, შემიშვებდნენ უკან და ასე მეორდებოდა, კარანტინის დაშლა ხდებოდა ყოველ პარასკევს. „სისხლიან პარასკევს“ ეძახდნენ, რადგან სისხლის გუბეებს აყენებდნენ. კარანტინს რომ გადიოდი, პატიმრების კორიდორი ეყენათ და შენს გვარს რომ გამოაცხადებდნენ, შემოტრიალდებოდი, ხელში ფურცელი გეჭირა, რომელშიც შენს ბრალს კითხულობდნენ და გცემდნენ. რეჟიმის უფროსი და ოლეგ ფაცაცია იდგნენ, გცემდნენ და რომ დაცემულიყავი უარესი იყო – ცემაში მოგკლავდნენ. ამიტომაც ვერ უძლებდნენ პატიმრები და ხელს აწერდნენ ყველაფერზე. მეოთხეჯერ რომ გამიყვანეს კარანტინში, იქ იყო ოლეგ ფაცაცია და ისე მცემა, ბოლოს მკლავდა. ერთი ნახალოვკელი ბადრაგი მუშაობდა, რომელსაც უბნიდან ვიცნობდი და რატომ კლავ, რის გამოო. ასე იმიტომ მექცეოდნენ, რომ მეყვირა, გარეთ მიმეწვდინა ხმა, მკლავენ და მიშველეთ-მეთქი და ჩემს ოჯახს, რაც შეიძლება ბევრი გადაეხადა. მეოთხე დაშლის დროს ხელით ამიტანეს ბიჭებმა. მივლიდნენ, ხელით მაჭმევდნენ… საშინელება იყო, ნაცემი რომ გადიხარ ადვოკატებთან, გაფრთხილებენ, თუ რამე წამოგცდება, მოგკლავთო. ბოლოს უკვე ან ტყდები, ან ისე „გაგარეკინებენ“, მიდიხარ ყველაფერზე.
– ოლეგ ფაცაციას გარდა, ვინმე ცნობილ ბადრაგთან თუ გქონია შეხება?
– მე არ ვიცი, მანამდე რას აკეთებდა ლადო ბედუკაძე. მაშინ კარანტინის სმენის უფროსი იყო. მე ორჯერ ვნახე, ლოცვების წიგნი ეჭირა ხელში, სამხედრო ფორმით დადიოდა. როცა დაიწყეს ცემა და დაშლა, ადგა და წავიდა, იქ არ გაჩერდა. კარანტინში სიგარეტს ვინ მოგაწევინებდა და ერთადერთი ტიპი იყო, ვინც სიგარეტიც მომაწევინა და თავი მტკიოდა და ტკვილგამაყუჩებელი შემომიტანა. ერთი წელია, რაც თავის ტკივილებმა გამიარა.
– როგორ პირობებში იყავით საკანში?
– რა ტელევიზორი, რა რადიო, ციხეში ყველა ცოდვაა, მაგრამ ახლა სასტუმროში არიან მაშინდელ ციხესთან შედარებით. ჩვენს დროს შობას მოგვკლეს ცემით, იმიტომ რომ, სანთლები გვენთო. დილით გასეირნება ხომ ყველას ეკუთვნის, რომ გასულიყავი, გცემდნენ, რატომ გვღლი და რატომ გადიხარო. არ უნდა დამჯდარიყავი, არ უნდა წამოწოლილიყავი, რომ შემოვიდოდნენ, ფეხზე უნდა ამდგარიყავი. დაბანა 3-4 წუთში უნდა მოგესწრო, ბევრი ვერ უძლებდა და გარბოდა ბალანდიორად, იმათ ვეღარ სცემდნენ და მეტი პრივილეგია ჰქონდათ. ადამიანის სრული გატეხვა ხდებოდა. წვერი რომ გაგეპარსა და ერთი ღერი დაგრჩენოდა, მაგაზე გცემდნენ, არ იპარსავო. მერე ცოტა ხანი ორთაჭალაშიც მომიწია ჯდომა, ერთი თვე გლდანს ერთი წელი ორთაჭალა მერჩია. ჩვეულებრივად გავცვლიდი. იქ ყოფნას ვინც გაუძლო და მყარად გამოვიდა, მაგარი ნერვული სისტემა ჰქონია. მსოფლიო ციხეებში ერთ-ერთი ყველაზე საშინელი ციხე იყო. ხუთი კაცი თუ იჯდა საკანში, ორი მაგათი ტიპი იყო, რამე ცუდად რომ გეთქვა, ჩათვალე, უკვე მათ იცოდნენ და მოგკლავდნენ ცემაში. ყველას აფუჭებდნენ, ვისაც ვერ გააფუჭებდნენ „ცინკის“ კუბოთი გადიოდა. სანამ უხდიდი, ბოლომდე არ გწირავდნენ, თუ ვეღარ გადაუხდიდი, სიკვდილი პრობლემა არ იყო. რაღაც ბალანდა შემოდიოდა – აფეთქებულს ვეძახდი. ბევრი რაღაც რომ ჩაყარო და „ლიმონკა“ ჩააგდო, ააფეთქო, ასეთი იყო. თან ცხიმი ჰქონდა საშინელი. ერთდერთი, ლობიოს ვჭამდი ორშაბათს და ოთხშაბათს, საპატრიარქო აგზავნიდა, ნორმალური იყო. მაღაზიაში ვყიდულობდი, მაგრამ თუ რამე არ მოეწონებოდათ მაღაზიაში ყიდვასაც გიკრძალავდენ და პური უნდა გეჭამა. პური ისეთი შემოდიოდა, რომ ვერ შეჭამდი. მე რომ დამიჭირეს, ვისი პურიც შემოდიოდა, მაგის მეპატრონე იყო დაჭერილი. მთელი ციხე ხომ გინებაში იყო, არ იჭმეოდა, ვხუხავდით, ვაცხელებდით და რომ გავიდა ციხიდან, პური ეგრევე გამოასწორა.
– შენ თვალწინ თუ ხდებოდა სხვა პატმრების წამება?
– ღამე რომ მოდიოდა, საშინელი ხმები ისმოდა, კაცის ასეთი განწირული ყვირილი არსად გამიგია. ისე კიოდნენ, რომ მახსენდება, ცუდად ვხდები. საკნიდან ვუყურებდი „რეზბალნიცას“ და ბევრჯერ ყოფილა, ორი-სამი მკვდარი გადმოუყრიათ და ძირს ეყარნენ, სანამ კატაფალკა არ შემოვიდოდა. ოლეგ ფაცაცია მიდიოდა ხოლმე „რეზბალნიცის“ თავზე და ბინოკლით იყურებოდა. 27-28 წლის ახალგაზრდა იყო და აღარ გადიოდა ციხიდან, იქ ცხოვრობდა. პატიმრებს აფურთხებდნენ და აშარდავდნენ. აუპატიურებდნენ – რაღაც რომ უნდოდათ და ვერ იღებდნენ, ამ ტიპის გაფუჭება ჩვეულებრივი იყო. სასწაულებს აკეთებდნენ. 80 წლის კაცს რაღაც საბუთების მაქინაციისთვის კლავდნენ ცემით. 78 წლის კაცს ძროხის მოპარვას აბრალებდნენ, ოთხზე დააყენეს ეს კაცი და ახლა ძროხასავით იღმუვლეო.
– ოთხჯერ დაგიჭირეს, საბოლოოდ როგორ დააღწიე თავი?
– ბოლოს რომ დამიჭირეს ჩემი შვილის, ელენიკოს, დაბადების დღე იყო. მაშინ ვაჩუქე ბავშვს კოკერსპანიელის ლეკვი, ეს ლეკვი და გომელაურის წიგნი მიდევს მანქანაში და ჩემთვის წყნარად მივდივარ. გადამაყენეს, წამობრძანდიო. თან, ეს გამომძიებლები, რომ დაგიჭერდნენ, გეუბნებოდნენ, ლაშა, მაგრად „გვიტყდება“, შენნაირ კაცს ციხეში რა უნდა, მაგრამ ხომ იცი, ბრძანებაა და რომ არ შევასრულოთ, შარში აღმოვჩნდებითო, მარაზმი ხდებოდა. იმ ქვეყანას რა ვუთხარი, სადაც განაჩენის 95 პროცენტი გამამტყუნებელი იყო. გირაოთი გამომიშვებდნენ, რაღაც პერიოდის მერე კიდევ შემიყვანდნენ. „მეკაიფებოდნენ“. თან ფული უნდა მეხადა, თან ბოლომდე უნდა გავეტეხეთ. რაც გადამახდევინეს, მაგის გარდა ქონება წაიღეს, კლინიკა წაიღეს. ზუსტად იცოდნენ, რამდენი გქონდა, რამდენის სესხების თავი გქონდა; ყველაფერი რომ გაგეყიდა, რამდენი გექნებოდა და პლუს მიუმატებდნენ კიდევ ცოტას, რომ ბოლომდე გაეწურე. ბოლოს, 2012 წელს რომ გამოვედი, არჩევნებამდე, ძალიან დიდი როლი ითამაშა ივანიშვილების ოჯახმა, ბერამ. ბოლოს დაჭერილი ვიყავი და მაგ პერიოდში იყო, ჩვენი ბიჭები, ფაქო და ამიკო, გადავიდნენ „რუსთავი 2-იდან“ „ჯიდიესზე“ და ვთქვი, რომ ამას უკვე ვეღარ გადავურჩები-მეთქი. ახალაია იყო მაშინ და შეუთვალა ფაქოს და ამიკოს, თქვენი ძმაკაცი რომ გიზით აქ, იმას ცოცხალს ვერც გამოიყვანთო. ისე ვიყავი შეჩვეული, რომ ზუსტად ვიცოდი, შევბრუნდებოდი. იმან გვიშველა, რომ შეიცვალა ყველაფერი, თორემ არ მომეშვებოდნენ, შანსი არ იყო. ხანდახან რომ მიყვებიან ნაციონალებზე რაღაცებს, ვაჩერებ, ისე ნერვები მეშლება. მაწამეს ტიპებმა და ესე იგი, ემხრობი იმ მწამებლებს და რამე რომ იყოს, შენც მაწამებ. ან უნდა გავჩერდეთ მაშინ, ან კამათში თუ შემოვედი, უნდა ვცემო, ან რა ვიცი, ჩემთვის არიან პირადი მტრები. დედაჩემმა 4-5 წელია, რაც გაიცინა.
– რომ გამოხვედი, ის ბადრაგები არასდროს შეგხვედრიან?
– მერე, რომ გამოვედი, ერთ-ერთი ბადრაგი, რომელმაც მაგრად მცემა, მანქანის სამრეცხაოში ვნახე, მანქანას რეცხავდა. ძალიან დიდი ტიპი იყო გარეგნულად და რომ დამინახა, ისე დაპატარავდა, ასანთის კოლოფის ხელა გახდა და მე ვუთხარი, მე მიპატიებია, შენ თუ აპატიებ შენს თავს-მეთქი მანქანის გარეცხვა ათი ლარი ღირდა და დავუტოვე. არ მგონია, მაგათმა თავის თავს აპატიონ, წარმოუდგენელ საშინელებებს სჩადიოდნენ. მუხაძე იყო მაშინ ციხის დირექტორი. მანამდე მელაძე იყო, წავიდოდა, სპორტულებს ჩაიცვამდა და ისე გამოდიოდა, რომ ეცემა ხალხი. ჩვეულებრივად ვარჯიშობდა ტიპი. მეგრელი კოჭოია რომ დაიჭირეს, ტეორირზმის ბრალდებით, საცოდავს ეზოში სცემდნენ მინისტრებიდან დაწყებული, ყველა. მართლა არ მჯერა დღემდე, რომ იმას ამერიკის საელჩოს აფეთქება შეეძლო.
– სასოწარკვეთილების მომენტები თუ გქონდა?
– კი. იქ არ არსებობს ადამიანი, თვითმკვლელობაზე არ იფიქროს. მე რომ გამოვედი, იმ დღეს მოიკლა 18 წლის ბავშვმა თავი, ახალი გადმოსული იყო პატარებიდან და ვეღარ გაუძლო. ერთხელ მეც გავჭედე, წყალი შევასხი კლუჩნიკს და ისეთი ხმა ჰქონდა, რომ ყველა ბადრაგმა მოირბინა, ციხე აზანზარდა. მაგრად მცემეს, მაგრამ ერთ-ერთმა ნაცნობმა ბადრაგმა გადამარჩინა, გადაუდგა, რა დაგიშავათ, დაანებეთ თავიო. მაგის მერე შემოვიდა ფაცაცია და მითხრა, ჩვენ არაფერი გვინდოდა, გარედან გვქონდა ბრძანება, რომ გაგვეპრესეო. ბევრ რაღაცას გადააფასებ, ის ბავშვი აღარ ხარ და სანამ ნაბიჯს გადადგამ, ბევრად უფიქრდები. ეს რომ ის შემთხვევა ყოფილიყო, რომ რაღაცას ვაშავებდი და დავეჭირე, უფრო მეტი შეიცვლებოდა ჩემს ცხოვრებაში, მაგრამ ამან იქით წამიყვანა, რომ ჩემს ქვეყანას არ დავტოვებ. სულ „ვიჩალიჩებ“, რომ ეგეთები არ მოვიდნენ.
– გაგიჭირდა ციხიდან გამოსულს ახალი ცხოვრების დაწყება?
– ახალი ცხოვრება დავიწყე, სალომე გაჩნდა ჩემს ცხოვრებაში და ყველაფერი დადებითისკენ შეიცვალა, თორემ მე დღეს, ალბათ, ცოცხალიც არ ვიქნებოდი. სალომემ გადამატანინა ეს ამბავი. ახალი გამოსული ვიყავი, დანევროზებული, გაგიჟებული და ასეთი გამიცნო სალომემ და ასეთი მიმიღო. ამიტომაც, ის ჩემთვის ყველაფერია. 2012 წლიდან მე და ჩემმა ოჯახმა ყველაფერი ნულიდან დავიწყეთ, მიწა ვიყიდეთ, ახალი კლინიკა ავაშენეთ. ახლა ყველაფერი კარგადაა…
ღმერთმა გაანათლოს ლაშას სული… სალომეს და ოჯახს გამძლეობა მისცეს უფალმა…
მის შვილებს მუდამ გაჰყოლოდეთ მეგზურად კარგი მამის სახელი და მის მიერ დათესილი სიკეთეები – ცხოვრების მანათობელ ლამპრად… ბოლოს ამ სამიოდე კვირის წინ გვქონდა მიმოწერა…
და ყოველთვის გვქონდა ქვეყნის გადარჩენის საქმეში ერთმანეთის იმედი… ბასლა, ნათელში იყავი, კარგო ადამიანო…- წერს მამაცაშვილი
„გაიღვიძე, თორემ გადაჭამეს ბიუჯეტი!“ – დღევანდელი გზავნილი ახალციხის უწყვეტი პროტესტიდან.
მოქალაქე ჯაბა ნათენაძე ახალციხიდან ასე ეხმიანება „საერთაშორისო გამჭვირვალობა – საქართველოს“ დღეს გავრცელებულ კვლევას, რომლის თანახმადაც ახალციხის საკრებულოს დეპუტატებმა, მათი ოჯახის წევრებმა და ნათესავებმა, მხოლოდ ახალციხის მერიიდან და მისი იურიდიული პირებიდან, ჯამში, 24 811 129 ლარის შესყიდვები მიიღეს.
ბოლო დროს ქოცების მოქმედება ჩვენი, უკვე მიჩვეული გონებისთვისაც კი რთული აღსაქმელი გახდა. ნამეტანი გიჟობაა. ხშირია კითხვები, რატომ აიწყვიტეს ასე ყველა მიმართულებით, რატომ ასეთი ჯირითის რეჟიმში, სად ეჩქარებათ და არის თუ არა ამ მოქმედებაში ეკლექტიკის მიღმა რაიმე მწყობრი სისტემა. ვფიქრობ, ეს აღრევა მეტწილად გამოიწვია ორი სამოქმედო გეგმის ერთდროულად, პარალელურ რეჟიმში განხორციელების მცდელობამ. ერთი გეგმა რუსებისაა, მეორე-ქოცების, უშუალოდ გლუვის (ანუ ბიძინასი). რუსების სამოქმედო გეგმა იმ ქვეყნის მიმართ მოთხოვნების სტანდარტულ პაკეტს მოიცავს, რომლის მთლიანად გადაყლაპვასაც რუსეთი აპირებს. ეს პაკეტი დეტალურად გაასაჯაროეს უკრაინასთან მიმართებაში და მიუხედავად იმისა, რომ ჩვენთან საომარი მომქმედებები არ მიმდინარეობს, მოთხოვნები იგივეა. თუ უკრაინაში უკუღმა მოქმედება უწევთ, გეგმის ბოლოდან სათავისკენ, რაც მეტად უჭირთ, ჩვენთან წაღმა მოქმედება გამოსდით, პუნქტობრივად მიყვებიან თავიდან და უფრო უადვილდებათ. მივყვეთ ჩვენც პუნქტობრივად და ვნახოთ, განხორციელების რა სტადიაზეა გეგმა ამჟამად, რა არის შესრულებული და რა არის რიგში. გეგმებში შემდეგი პუნქტებია: ლოიალური ხელისუფლება, დემილიტარიზაცია, დენაციფიკაცია, ნეიტრალური სტატუსი. გეგმის სრული შესრულება მიზნად ისახავს ქვეყნის დელეგიტიმაციას, სახელმწიფოებრივი არსებობის ფაქტობრივ შეწყვეტას. გეგმის ყველა პუნქტის განხორციელებას ადგილზე ჰყავს კონკრეტული, პერსონიფიცირებული პასუხისმგებელი, ერთი მთავარი და დამხმარეები. პირველ პუნქტზე პასუხსიმგებელი, ბუნებრივია, თავად გლუვი იყო, მან უზრუნველყო ქვეყნის სათავეში რუსეთის მიმართ სრულად ლოიალური რეჟიმის ჩამოყალიბება და ის არის სტატუს ქვოს შენარჩუნების გარანტორი. ეს პუნქტი სრულად შესრულებულია. შესრულებულია მეორე პუნქტიც -დემილიტარიზაცია. აქ პასუხისმგებელი იყო რუსების მიერ პირდაპირ მოთხოვნილი ყოფილი თავდაცვის მინისტრი მინდია ჯანელიძე, ღრმად კაგებისტური ოჯახის წარმომადგენელი. მან უზრუნველყო კონტრდაზერვის დეპარტამენტის სრული განადგურება და რუსების მხრიდან მის წარმომადგენლებზე სასტიკი რევანში, ფიზიკური ლიკვიდაციისა და ციხეში ჩასმის ჩათვლით. შემდეგ თავდაცვის სამინისტროში რუსული კადრების გადამწყვეტი დომინაცია დასავლური, მეტწილად ამერიკული ბექგრაუნდის კადრებზე, ადგილზე გენერალურ შტაბში რუსების ფიზიკური შეღწევა და შედეგად, საქართველოს შეიარაღებული ძალების სრული დეგრადაცია. როგორც ვთქვით ეს პუნქტიც სრულადაა შესრულებული.
ამჟამად მიმდინარეობს ყველაზე მოცულობითი, მთავარი, ფუძემდებლური პუნქტის განხორციელება – ესაა დენაციფიკაცია. დენაციფიკაცია დელეგიტიმაციის საფუძველია. ის გულისხმობს ნაციონალური იდეის, ეროვნული თვითშეგნების, იდენტიფიკაციის გაქრობას, ისტორიულ-კულტურული მეხსიერების წაშლას, ისტორიის გადაწერას და არასასურველ პირთა იდენტიფიკაციას. პროცესი, რომლის შეფუთვასაც ქოცები „ნაციონალური მოძრაობის და მისი სატელიტების აკრძალვის“ გამოცხადებულ ღონისძიებაში ცდილობენ. სინამდვილეში ეს არის ადამიანების პერსონიფიცირებული აღწერა-ინვენტარიზაცია, ზედმეტობის დადგენა, იმ ადამიანური ზედმეტობის, რომელიც ასე აწუხებს გლუვს და რომლის აღმოფვრას ცდილობს მუდმივად ხან დაშინებით, ხან ციხეებში გასტუმრებით, ხან ქვეყნის დატოვების შეთავაზებით. პროცესი მიმდინარეობს ბოლშევიკური ინსტრუქციებით, ამიტომ, რასაც ვიღებთ, ბოლშევიკებისვე ლოგიკით, არის ციხეში ჩასმულთა, გადასახლებულთა და დასახვრეტთა სიები. ასე აღმოფხრავდნენ ბოლშევიკები ზედმეტობას. ესაა გლუვის მთავარი პრობლემა და აქ ის ისევ ეჯახება მთავარ მტერს – დროს. როგორც ვერანაირი ბაობაბებით, ნატვრის თვლებით და ბროწეულებით ვერ მოახერხებს ის, თავისი ვაგლახი სიცოცხლე 200 წლამდე გაახანგძლივოს, ასევე ვერ მოახერხებს 21-ე საუკუნეში დედამიწის ამ გეოგრაფიულ ნაწილში ათასობით ადამიანის დახვრეტას, გაქრობას. უბრალოდ ვერ და დამთავრდა! გადაულახავი დაბრკოლებაა. ჩვენი მებრძოლი, შეწირული წინაპრების მთავარი დამსახურება ისაა, რომ ამ დრომდე მოგვატანინეს. დრომდე, როდესაც ვერ გვხრეტენ. ნებისმიერი რაოდენობის ადამიანთა სასამართლოს გარეშე დახვრეტის მანდატის გარეშე ბოლშევიკებიც დამარცხდებოდნენ. რომ შეეძლოთ, დაუფიქრებლად დაგვრეტდნენ. აი ისინი, ამ დღეებში პირბადის გამო ხალხს ვინც აპატიმრებენ – დაუფიქრებლად გამოკრავდნენ ჩახმახს თითს. მიუხედავად იმისა, რომ მათი უმეტესობის წინაპრები ნაღდად დახვრეტილები არიან, ისე აქვთ ტვინები გამორეცხილი, რომ თავისიანების დამხვრეტთა ღირსეულ მემკვიდრეებად იქცნენ და მართალ საქმედ სიმართლის დევნა მიაჩნიათ. ესაა უკვე დენაციფიცირებული მასა. ასეთებად უნდათ აქციონ ყველა, ვისაც თავის ჭკუაში აქ ცხოვრების უფლებას მისცემენ, მაგრამ არ გამოვა ეგ ამბავი. ბელორუსში დახვრეტა არსებობს, მაგრამ ლუკაშენკოც კი უკვე წლებია ვერ იყენებს მას. იმიტომ, რომ ამ დროში ვცხოვრობთ, სადაც მე გივი, დახვრეტილ ბაბუა გივიზე უკვე ზუსტად 30 წლით უფროსი ვარ. კი, სცადეს ბომბით, მაგრამ დარწმუნდნენ, რომ ეს საიმედო არაა, ისეთი, როგორც ტყვია კედელთან. გასაკვირი არაა, რომ დენაციფიკაციაზე პასუხისმგებელ პირად განისაზღვრა თეა წულუკიანი. მამის აღტკინება გამოყვა, მაგრამ გასაქანი აქვს შეზღუდული. ამ პროცესის შიგნით სხვადასხვა მიმართულებას ასევე ჰყავს თავისი პასუხისმგებელი. წულუკიანის კომისიამ უკვე შეასრულა ისტორიის გადაწერის ფუნქცია, თავისი დასკვნით 200 წლის ომთან დაკავშირებით და საფუძველი შეუქმნა პარტიების, პოლიტიკოსების აკრძალვას. წულუკიანი რელიგიურ ძეგლების განადგურებასაც აკონტროლებს. აქაც პრობლემა აქვთ – მეფის რუსეთის დროს ფრესკებს შეათეთრებდნენ, ბოლშევიკების დროს ტაძრებს ააფეთქებდნენ, დღეს კი უწევთ უმოქმედობის ინიცირება, იმისათვის, რომ ეს მემკვიდრეობა მიწასთან გასწორდეს და დაგვავიწყდეს. საბედნიეროდ, ამდენი დრო არ აქვთ. არასამთავრობოების ამოძირკვაზე მუშაობს რაჟდენ კუპრაშვილი. სავარაუდოდ, ის იქნება თავისუფალ მედიაზე მომავალი გენერალური შეტევის სათავეშიც. აი, განათლების „რეფორმას“, რაც შეეხება, დარწმუნებული ვარ, ირაკლი კობახიძის დედა ხელმძღვანელობს. ისიც, მინდია ჯანელიძის მსგავსად, ძირძველი კაგებისტური საუნივერსიტეტო ოჯახის წარმომადგენელია და მისი უფროსი ბიძა იყო, თავად ის ე.წ. „პრემიერის“ უფროსია ახლაც, ისევე, როგორც მისი მამის უფროსი იყო ყოველთვის. განათლების სისტემის განადგურების ხელმძღვანელობის შანსს ის არ გაუშვებდა ხელიდან, ამიტომაც მგონია მისი პროდუქტი. მოკლედ, დენაციფიკაციის პუნქტი პაკეტის ყველაზე მნიშვნელოვანი პუნქტია, მაგრამ ამავე დროს, ყველაზე პრობლემატურიცაა, ამიტომ მის ბოლომდე შესრულებას ვერ დაელოდებიან და პარალელურად დაიწყებენ ბოლო, ნეიტრალიტეტის პუნქტის შესრულებას. ვფიქრობ, ამ მხრივ რუსები მაქსიმალურად აჩქარებენ და აწვებიან, უკრაინაში მათი შანსების გაურესებიდან გამომდინარე, რათა იქ წარუმატებლობის შემთხვევაში აქ მაინც შერჩეთ ფორმალიზირებული, ასე ვთქვათ ბეჭდიანი გამარჯვება, რაც ნეიტრალური სტატუსის შესახებ საკოინსტიტუციო ჩანაწერს გულისხმობს, რომელიც ჩაანაცვლებს ქვეყნის ევრო-ატლანტიკური არჩევანის შესახებ კონსტიტუციის 78-ე მუხლს. პროცესის დაწყებაზე რუსების დავალება უკვე მიღებულია, რადგან უკვე გამოჩნდნენ ოკუპანტთა მესინჯერები ამ მოთხოვნით. მათი გამოჩენა, ფაქტობრივად, ხმოვანი სიგნალია – კრემლიდან დეპეშა მოვიდა. ამ დეპეშებს ისინი რეჟიმისთვის მიწერილი პერსონალური წერილების სახეს აძლევენ, რომელთა საფუძველზეც რეჟიმი დაუყონებლივ იწყებს მოქედებას. გვახსოვს, ასეთი წერილი მისწერეს ნანა კაკაბაძემ და გელა ნიკოლაიშვილმა რეჟიმს წულუკიანის კომისიის შექმნის აუცილებლობაზე და კომისია, არა მხოლოდ მყისვე შეიქმნა, არამედ უკვე მუშაობაც დაასრულა მოღალატეობრივი აქტით. ვატო შაქარიშვილმა მისწერა წერილი არასამთავროების განადგურების აუცილებლობის შესახებ და მყისვე რაჟდენ კუპრაშვილი აღიჭურვა შესაბამისი დავალებით, უფლებამოსილებით და დაიწყო მოქმედება. ამჟამად ეს პერსონები ერთ ნაგვის გროვად გაფორმდნენ, დაირქვეს „ერთიანი, ნეიტრალური საქართველო“ და მოითხოვეს ამ საკითხის რეფერენდუმზე გატანა. ამ მოთხოვნას მყისვე აყვა ქაქის გარნირი – ხაინდრავები, უცნობები და მსგავსები. რეფერენდუმს, ვფიქრობ, ვერ გარისკავენ, აი საკონსტიტუციო უმრავლესობის მოპოვების გზით კი აუცილებლად წავლენ. მე დარწმუნებული ვარ, რომ პარტიების გაუქმების შემდეგ რეჟიმი უკვე გაზაფხულზე დანიშნავს საპარლამენტო არჩევნებს. ვფიქრობ, ირაკლი კობახიძის ციკლი ამ რუსული პაკეტის ბოლომდე შესრულების ვადით შემოისაზღვრება. ხსენებული კაგებისტური წარმომავლობის გამო, არ გამოვრიცხავ, ის პრემიერად რუსების მხრიდან, მინდია ჯანელიძისავით მოთხოვნილი თუ არა, მხარდაჭერილი კადრი მაინც არის. ვფიქრობ, ამ არჩევნებზე ქოცებს სწორედ ის გაიყვანს. ჩემი აზრით არჩევნების შემდეგ მას პარლამენტში დააბრუნებენ, რათა უშუალოდ უხელმძღვანელოს პროცესის დასრულებას – საკონსტიტუციო ჩანაწერის მიღებას, რის შემდგომაც მისი მისია ამოიწურება და გლუვს შეეძლება ჩირად გამოაშროს, ვინმეს აჩუქოს ან სათავსოში შეინახოს. ჩემი აზრით სწორედ ასეთ განვითარებას მოითხოვენ რუსები და კარგი იქნება, ამ თემაზე, საგაზაფხულო საპარლამენტო არჩევნების შემთხვევაში მოქმედების ერთიანი ხედვაზე დისკუსია ახლავე დაიწყოს, მერე ისევ ცაიტნოტში, რომ არ მივიღოთ აქეთა ნაპირიდან ისევ რადიკალურად საპირისპირო მოქმედებები, მით უფრო, რომ მაგ დროისთვის ახალი მოთამაშეები გამოჩნდებიან პოლიტიკურ ველზე. რაც შეეხება გლუვის დღის წესრიგს – ის ორი მიმართულებით ვითარდება. ერთი შიდა ამბებია და აქ რაიმე მწყობრი გეგმის ძიება სრულიად ფუჭია. ეს არის მისი, გლუვის, ნახევარი ნაოჭის მუდმივი ანთების, ეჭვიანობის, ბრაზის, წყენის ანარეკლი. ეს ყველაფერი გროვდება, ერთმანეთს ედება და ბოლოს გამოხეთქავს, ოღონდ, როდის და რა მიმართულებით, კაცმა არ იცის. ამ უკვე გამოხეთქილზე გლუვის აგრესიის მიმართულების კორექცია შესაძლებელია ჭორების და ყურში ჩაჩურჩულების გზით, რასაც მიხვდა კობახიძე და ცდილობს ეს ფაზა სათავისოდ გამოიყენოს. გამომწვევ მიზეზებს რაც შეეხება, მაგალითად, ლილუაშვილზე, ერთმანეთს მიეწყო ამერიკაში გლუვის მესიჯის ვერ მიტანა, თანაც, გლუვმა გადაწყვიტა, რომ ლილუაშილმა მისი საქმეები ვერ დაალაგა, თავისი კი მოაკვარახჭინა და სანქციებს ასცდა. მერე მთავარი ბიტკოინმტრის ქვეყნიდან გასვლა, ბოლოს ჯანგველაძის მკვლელობა და ეგაა. ღარიბაშვილმა, როგორც ჩანს, მაქსიმალური აჭრილობის, დროს, აი კალაძესთან გინებნარევი ურთიერთგადაძახილისას, კობახიძისთვის დარტყმის და მყისვე ყაველაშვილის, მდინარაძის და კობახიძისგან მაგარი ცემის დროს, თავი ვერ შეიკავა და გლუვიც მოიხსენია. საკმარისზე მეტია. ფარცხალაძე-რომანოვი მთლად ჯანგველაძის ამბავია. მერე ეს გლუვში ისევე, როგორც ყოველივე, კონვერტირდება კონკრეტულ თანხებში – რადგან ვერ გაამართლეს, რაც აკეთეს დააბრუნონ. ამის უზრუნველსაყოფად ვიღაცები ციხეში, ესენი ტყვეობაში, წაღებულის პატარა ნაწილი ბიუჯეტში, დიდი – გლუვთან. თავისუფლებაზე ჩემი მეზობელი მილიონიანი გირაოთი და შიდა სატუსაღოში, აქაური ჩემი მეზობელი კი, მისი რომეო და ჯუ-ლეიტა არა-ანშური – სევდაში. გლუვის დღის წესრიგის მეორე პუნქტი და მისი მუდმივი ვერ შესრულება მნიშვნელოვნად იწვევს პირველ პუნქტსაც და ზოგადად, გიჟურ აფეთქებებს ნახევარ ნაოჭში. ამ პუნქტს გლუვი ვერ ერევა და ვერც მოერევა. ესაა პროტესტი და რუსთაველი. მერწმუნეთ, ეს ერთი პუნქტი გადაიყოლებს საბოლოოდ რუსული დღის წესრიგის მთელ პაკეტს. მასობრივი გადასახლებისა და დახვრეტების გარეშე ეს პუნქტი ვერ შესრულდება და სულ რომ ყირაზე დადგეს, გამოვლენილ ზედმეტობას გლუვი ვერ მოერევა, რადგან სწორედ ეს მისთვის და რუსებისთვის ზედმეტობა არის საქართველო და ეს ზედმეტობა იბრძვის, არ ნებდება და არც დანებდება. რუსები და ქოცები ხშირად წუხან – ესენი მაიდნის ორგანიზებას ცდილობენო. არადა, ჩვენ, აქეთა ნაპირზე, ჯერ ბოლომდე ვერ ვხდებით, რომ უკვე ერთი წელია გვაქვს ქართული მაიდანი. მე ოთხი შემდგარი მშვიდობიანი რევოლუციის დაგეგმვასა და განხორციელებაში მაქვს მონაწილეობა მიღებული და არც ერთი მათგანი არ იყო მეორეს იდენტური. საერთო მდგენელის – მშვიდობიანი ცვლილებების – მიღმა, ყველა განსხვავებული იყო. აქაც ასეა – აუცილებელი არაა საბურავები იწვოდეს და ნამდვილი ტყვიები დაფრინავდეს. უკრაინული მაიდანი ხომ არ იყო დაკავებული სამთავრობო შენობები, რეჟიმის დატყვევებული წევრები. ეს იყო კონკრეტული ტერიტორია ქვეყნის დედაქალაქის ცენტრში, რომელიც დაიკავეს თავისუფლებისთვის მებრძოლებმა და შეინარჩუნეს მანამ, სანამ რეჟიმი არ გატყდა. ასე, რომ ჩვენ გვაქვს ლოკაციაც – რუსთაველი, პროცესიც – ერთწლიანი პროტესტი და მიზანიც – გაძლება. ჯარიმებს უკვე გავუძელით, პატიმრობებსაც ვუძლებთ. უკრაინელებმა ნამდვილ ტყვიებს გაუძლეს, ჩვენ სასტიკ დარბევებს. პატიმრობა მძიმეა, მაგრამ არა გამოუსწორებელი, ამიტომ გავუძლებთ. მითუმეტეს, როდესაც ქუჩაში მთავარ სიტყვად სოლიდარობა იქცა. სოლიდარობა უზრუნველყოფს პროტესტის უწყვეტობას, უწყვეტობა კი გამარჯვებას!

მაია ომიაძე: “საერთაშორისო ტურიზმიდან მიღებული შემოსავლების ჩვენი პროგნოზი სრულად მართლდება“
ტურიზმის ეროვნული ადმინისტრაციის ხელმძღვანელმა მაია ომიაძემ წლის პირველი ცხრა თვის შედეგები შეაჯამა. მისი თქმით, ადმინისტრაციის მიერ წლის დასაწყისში დადგენილი 4.7 მილიარდი აშშ დოლარის პროგნოზი სრულად რეალიზებადი ჩანს. იანვარი-სექტემბრის პერიოდში საერთაშორისო ტურიზმიდან შემოსავალმა ახალ რეკორდულ მაჩვენებელს მიაღწია და 3.6 მილიარდ აშშ. დოლარს გადააჭარბა და 3,637,761,827 აშშ დოლარი შეადგინა
„ტურიზმის ეროვნული ადმინისტრაცია ტრადიციულად ადგენს პროგნოზებს როგორც კვარტლების, ისე სეზონების მიხედვით. ეს პროგნოზები ეფუძნება გასული წლების მონაცემებსა და საერთაშორისო ტენდენციებს, როგორც საერთაშორისო მოგზაურების, ისე ტურისტული მოგზაურებისა და შემოსავლების ჭრილში, კვლევითი კომპანიების პროგნოზები და ტურიზმის ეროვნული ადმინისტრაციის შეფასებები ერთმანეთს თითქმის ემთხვევა, რაც მიუთითებს შეფასებების სიზუსტესა და რეალისტურობას. „თუ შევაფასებთ 2019 წლის შემდეგ აღდგენის დინამიკას, საერთაშორისო მოგზაურობების და შემოსავლების თვალსაზრისით, პროგნოზები იძლევა საფუძველს ვთქვათ, რომ მიღწეული შედეგები სრულად შეესაბამება მოლოდინებს. ამ ეტაპზე შეგვიძლია თამამად განვაცხადოთ, რომ 2025 წლის ბოლოსთვის, როდესაც დაიხურება წლის მეოთხე კვარტალი, პროგნოზები სრულად გამართლდება”,-აღნიშნა ტურიზმის ეროვნული ადმინისტრაციის ხელმძღვანელმა.
მაია ომიაძეს განცხადებით, ტურიზმის ეროვნული ადმინისტრაციის სწორი სტრატეგიისა და სამიზნე ბაზრებზე აქტიური კამპანიების შედეგად, წელს მიღებული შემოსავლები მნიშვნელოვნად აჭარბებს 2019 წლის მონაცემებს.
„მიუხედავად იმისა, რომ საერთაშორისო მოგზაურობების რაოდენობა ჯერ კიდევ აღდგენის პროცესშია, ტურიზმიდან მიღებული შემოსავლები მნიშვნელოვნად აღემატება 2019 წლის დონეს. ეს შედეგი ნათლად აჩვენებს, რომ ჩვენი სტრატეგია, რომელიც მაღალმხარჯველი ტურისტების მოზიდვაზე ორიენტაცია, სრულად ამართლებს ჩვენს მოლოდინებს. შესაძლოა, მოგზაურების რაოდენობა შედარებით ნაკლები იყოს, თუმცა თითოეული მათგანი ბევრად მეტ თანხას ხარჯავს საქართველოში,“ — აღნიშნა ომიაძემ.
კომპანია “ვიჯეთის” გენერალური დირექტორის, ლაშა ფეიქრიშვილის ინფორმაციით, ჩინეთს საქართველოში ინვესტიციის ჩადება არა მარტო, ბიზნესის მიმართულებით, არამედ ტურიზმის კუთხითაც სურს.
როგორც გადაცემა “ბიზნესპარტნიორში” ლაშა ფეიქრიშვილი აღნიშნავს, ჩინეთისთვის საქართველო მარტივი გზაა, რომ ევროპისკენ “გაიჭრას”.
“არამარტო ჩვენი, არამედ მათი ინტერესიც ძალიან მაღალია – საქართველოში ჩამოსვლის სურვილი აქვთ. უკვე რამდენიმე შემთხვევა გვქონდა, იქაური (ჩინური) ქარხნების წარმომადგენლობა ჩვენს ქვეყანაში ჩამოვიდნენ, ადგილობრივი გარემო ვაჩვენეთ, ინვესტიციის სურვილი აქვთ.
ჩინეთისთვის ინვესტიციის ერთ-ერთი მიმართულება ტურიზმი გახლავთ, რომ საქართველოში ჩამოვიდნენ, როგორც ბიზნესის კუთხით, ასევე ტურისტულად. ზოგადად, ჩინეთში ბოლო 3-4 წელია საერთაშორისო ბიზნესს უფრო აქტიურად უყურებენ. საქართველო მეტ ინტერესს იმით იპყრობს, რომ მათთვის ჩვენი ქვეყანაა მარტივი გზაა, რომ ევროპისკენ გაიჭრან. სურთ აქ დააფუძნონ ის ჰაბი, საიდანაც თავიანთი პროდუქციის ექსპორტი მოხდება”, – აცხადებს ლაშა ფეიქრიშვილი.
ამასთან, კომპანია “ვიჯეთის” გენერალური დირექტორი მსოფლიოში ცნობილი საერთაშორისო კომპანია Alibaba-ს შესახებაც საუბრობს და აღნიშნავს, რომ თავისუფლად შეიძლება, საქართველოში Alibaba-მ ტერმინალი გააკეთოს.
“საერთაშორისო პლატფორმა TEMU საქართველოში შემოვიდა და ჩვენი ქვეყანა ჰაბად იქცა. კერძოდ, ტერმინალები აქ შენდება და ჩვენგან პროდუქციის გარეთ გატანა იგეგმება. შესაბამისად, თავისუფლად შეიძლება, ტერმინალი Alibaba-მაც გააკეთოს, ამ ყველაფერზე აქტიურად ვმუშაობთ, ინტერესი მათი მხრიდან ძალიან მაღალია – მგონია, რომ ყველაფერი გამოვა. ამასთან, Alibaba ქართული ნაწარმის გამოფენას არ ზღუდავს, შესაბამისად, საქართველოში თუ მათი პლატფორმა მოექცა, ქართველებს თავიანთი პროდუქციის ექსპორტზე გატანა ბევრად მეტად შეეძლებათ – პროდუქციას ბევრად მაღალ ღირებულებაში გაყიდიან”, – აღნიშნავს კომპანიის გენერალური დირექტორი.

Bitcoin Knots Has Been Nothing More Than A Denial-of-Service Attack On Bitcoin
In computing, a denial-of-service attack (DoS attack; UK: /dɒs/ doss US: /dɑːs/ daas[1]) is a cyberattack in which the perpetrator seeks to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users by temporarily or indefinitely disrupting services of a host connected to a network. -The Wikipedia definition of denial-of-service attack.
This is a very basic concept. Someone makes use of their own resources to disrupt the functioning of other machines on a network.
DoS attacks have been an issue for as long as the internet existed. One of the commonly argued “first Distributed Denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks” was against the Internet Service Provider (ISP) Panix in the mid-90s. There were of course many prior technical examples on older internet services, but this was one of, if not the, first major examples of such an attack on the modern World Wide Web.
This attack had numerous computers start to initiate a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection with the ISPs servers, but never finishing the handshake protocol that finalized the connection. This consumes the server’s resources for managing network connections and prevents honest users from accessing the internet through the ISP’s servers.
Ever since this “initial” DDoS attack, they have been as common on the internet as storms are in nature, a regular occurrence that massive pieces of internet infrastructure have been built to defend against.
The blockchain is one of the core components of Bitcoin, and a required dependency for Bitcoin’s functionality as a distributed ledger. I am sure many people in this space would call so-called “spam” transactions a DoS attack on the Bitcoin blockchain. In order to call it that, you would have to define the “service” that the blockchain is offering as a system, and explain how spam transactions are denying that service to others in a way not intended by the design of the system.
I’d wager a bet that most people who believe spam is a DoS attack would say something like “the service the blockchain offers is processing financial transactions, and spam takes space away from people trying to do that.” The problem is, that is not specifically the service the blockchain offers.
The service it actually offers is the confirmation of any consensus valid transaction through a real-time auction that periodically settles whenever a miner finds a block. If your transaction is consensus valid, and you have bid a high enough fee for a miner to include your transaction in a block, you are using the service the blockchain provides exactly as designed.
This was a conscious design decision made over years during the “Block Size Wars” and finalized in the activation of Segregated Witness and the rejection of the Segwit2x blocksize increase through a hard fork pushed by major companies at the time. The blockchain would function by prioritizing the highest bidding fee transactions, and users would be free to compete in that auction. This is how blockspace would be allocated, with a global restriction to protect verifiability and a free market pricing mechanism.
Nothing about a transaction some arbitrarily define as “spam” winning in this open auction is a DoS of the blockchain. It is a user making use of that resource in the way they are supposed to, participating in the auction with everyone else.
Many, if not most, Bitcoin nodes offer transaction relay as a service to the rest of the network. If you broadcast your transactions to your peers on the network, they will forward them on to their peers, and so on. Because the peering logic deciding which nodes to peer with maintains wide connectivity, this service allows transactions to propagate across the network very quickly, and specifically allows them to propagate to all mining nodes.
Another service is block relay, propagating valid blocks as they are found in the same manner. This has been highly optimized over the years, to the point where most of the time an entire block is never actually relayed, just a shorthand “sketch” of the blockheader and the transactions included in it so you can reconstruct them from your own mempool. In other words, optimizations in block relay depend on a transaction relay functioning properly and propagating all valid and likely to be mined transactions.
When nodes do not have transactions in a block already in their mempool, they must request them from neighboring nodes, taking more time to validate the block in the process. They also explicitly forward those transactions along with the block sketch to other peers in case they are missing them, wasting bandwidth. The more nodes filtering transactions they classify as spam, the longer it takes blocks including those filtered transactions to propagate across the network.
Transaction filtering actively seeks to disrupt both of these services, in the case of transaction relay failing miserably to prevent them from propagating to miners, and in the case of block propagation having a marginal but noticeable performance degradation the more nodes on the network are filtering transactions.
These node policies have the explicit purpose of degrading the network service of propagating transactions to miners and the rest of the network, and view the degradation of block propagation as a penalty to miners who choose to include valid transactions they are filtering. They seek to create a degradation of service as a goal, and view the degradation of another service resulting from that attempt as a positive.
This actually is a DoS attack, in that it actually is degrading a network service contrary to the design of the system.
The entire saga of Knotz vs. Core, or “Spammers” vs. “Filterers”, has been nothing more than a miserably ineffective and failed DoS attack on the Bitcoin network. Filters do absolutely nothing to prevent filtered transactions from being included in blocks. The goal of disrupting transaction propagation to miners has had no success whatsoever, and the degradation of block relay has been marginal enough to not be a disincentive to miners.
I see this as a huge demonstration of Bitcoin’s robustness and resilience against attempted censorship and disruption on the level of the Bitcoin Network itself.
So now what?
A BIP by an anonymous author has been put forward to enact a temporary softfork that would expire after roughly a year making numerous ways to include “spam” in Bitcoin transactions consensus invalid through that time period. After realizing the DoS attack on the peer-to-peer network has been a total failure, filter supporters have moved to consensus changes, as many of them were told would be necessary over two years ago.
Will this actually solve the problem? No, it won’t. It will simply force people who wish to submit “spam” to this forked network, if they actually follow through on implementing it, to use fake ScriptPubKeys to encode their data in unspendable outputs that will bloat the UTXO set.
So even if this fork was met with resounding support, activated successfully, and did not result in a chainsplit, it would still not achieve the stated goal and leave “spammers” no option but to “spam” in the most damaging way to the network possible.

Bitcoin Price Crashes to $112,000 Ahead of Fed Decision, Markets Eye U.S.-China Talks
Bitcoin price continued its semi-green week for a bit today trading above $115,000 today and briefly reaching $116,077. Since then, bitcoin’s price has dumped to the mid $112,000s, according to Bitcoin Magazine Pro data.
This bitcoin price movement comes as traders weigh the Federal Reserve’s upcoming interest-rate decision and renewed optimism in the U.S.-China trade relations.
Data from Bitcoin Magazine Pro showed a 1.6% daily gain for BTC before the dump in late afternoon.
Despite historical trends of Bitcoin pulling back ahead of major U.S. economic events, the cryptocurrency held steady ahead of Wednesday’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, where a 25-basis-point rate cut is widely expected.
Traders remain divided on near-term price targets. Some believe the market may be bottoming and an uptrend could follow for the rest of the week, while others believe $117,000 as a potential pre-Fed local top before BTC revisits the CME futures gap near $111,000.
The broader macro backdrop also supported risk-on assets. Gold fell to under $4,000 per ounce, its lowest since Oct. 6, helping fuel gains in Bitcoin and altcoins.
Bitcoin’s price has entered one of its tightest trading ranges in history, moving between $106,000 and $123,000 for over four months. This extended calm has driven volatility to record lows on six-month metrics — levels that have historically preceded major directional moves. The weekly Bollinger Band Width, a key volatility indicator, has reached its lowest reading ever, suggesting that a large expansion in volatility could be imminent.
In past cycles, similar compression periods have led to price surges exceeding 65% within 100 days.
Applying those historical patterns implies a potential target of $170,000–$180,000 by 2026 if Bitcoin follows a comparable trajectory. However, these low-volatility phases can persist for months before breaking out, meaning Bitcoin may continue trading sideways into early 2026.
Corporate and institutional crypto activity is also making headlines. Japanese hotelier-turned-Bitcoin treasury Metaplanet Inc. announced a $500 million share buyback, while Cathie Wood and Ark Invest increased its holdings in Block Inc. by $30.9 million across three ETFs.
Wood, known for her $1.5 million Bitcoin prediction, is one of the most bullish investors in crypto. Through ARK Invest, she has consistently invested millions in major crypto-related stocks.
Her firm held positions in Circle Internet Group, Coinbase, Robinhood, and Bitmine Immersion Technologies.
Recently, ARK expanded its crypto exposure by purchasing about $31 million worth of Block Inc. shares. The ARK Innovation ETF bought 210,916 shares, the ARK Next Generation Internet ETF added 59,827 shares, and the ARK Fintech Innovation ETF acquired 114,842 shares.

House Democrat Targets President Trump With Bill to Ban Lawmakers From Owning Crypto
U.S. Congressman Ro Khanna (D-CA) is introducing legislation that would prohibit the U.S. President, members of Congress, and their immediate families from owning, trading, or creating cryptocurrencies while in office, according to MSNBC reporting.
Khanna’s bill would mark the first major attempt to separate digital assets from political power.
Early details indicate the measure will bar elected officials and their families from holding or issuing cryptocurrencies and from accepting foreign-backed crypto investments.
The California lawmaker said the initiative aims to rebuild public trust and prevent policymakers from profiting off the very technologies they regulate.
The proposal follows President Donald Trump’s pardon of Binance founder Changpeng Zhao and seeks to eliminate what Khanna calls “blatant corruption” at the intersection of politics and crypto.
“The pardon of Zhao is corrupt,” Khanna said on MSNBC. “You’ve got a foreign billionaire engaged in money laundering and financing terrorism, who supports the president’s son’s cryptocurrency firm, and then the president pardons him. This is corruption in plain sight.”
Zhao, the co-founder and former CEO of Binance, served four months in prison after pleading guilty to violating U.S. banking laws.
His company was accused of allowing illicit money flows linked to child exploitation, drug trafficking, and terrorism. Soon after Zhao’s financial backing of World Liberty Financial — the crypto project founded by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump — was revealed, Trump granted him a pardon.
Khanna’s proposal directly targets that entanglement. By banning crypto ownership and trading among officials, he hopes to draw a clear boundary between public service and private gain.
The measure mirrors previous calls to ban stock trading by lawmakers and follows Senator Adam Schiff’s COIN Act, which specifically sought to limit the Trump family’s crypto activities.
Lawmakers have long and repeatedly introduced legislation in hopes to curb insider trading among members of Congress.
The STOCK Act, passed in 2012 with broad bipartisan support, was designed to require members to disclose stock trades within 30 days and penalize those who used insider information for personal gain.
Earlier this year, The Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments (PELOSI) Act (S.1498) was proposed in the U.S. Senate by Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO).
The bill addresses concerns about conflicts of interest and potential insider trading among Members of Congress by prohibiting them and their spouses from holding, purchasing, or selling most individual stocks, security futures, commodities, and similar financial instruments while in office.

The Virgin Australia Group has officially opened a new era in regional aviation with the delivery of the first Embraer E190-E2 aircraft, named Coral Bay. This development signifies the first completely new aircraft to enter Western Australia’s charter sector after more than twenty years, thus raising the bar of comfort, efficiency, and sustainability. The E190-E2 performed its inaugural commercial flight (VA9217) on October 27, 2025, taking off from Perth and landing in Boolgeeda after a smooth and punctually timed trip, which made it clear that the aircraft is suitable for the region’s particular requirements.
Designed with Western Australia’s mining regions in mind, the Embraer E190-E2 addresses the operational challenges of flying to shorter runways, higher temperatures, and remote locations. The aircraft offers a blend of passenger comfort, fuel efficiency, and sustainability, making it an ideal choice for charter clients who rely on air travel to connect hard-to-reach areas. With the E190-E2 now in operation, Virgin Australia’s fleet is set to provide even more advanced travel options for both business and leisure travelers.
The E190-E2 aircraft is a game-changer for regional aviation in Western Australia. Its introduction not only enhances passenger experiences but also strengthens the sustainability credentials of Virgin Australia. Designed to be the quietest and most fuel-efficient aircraft in its class, the Embraer E190-E2 offers superior performance while reducing environmental impact, a vital aspect as the industry works to meet increasing demands for greener travel options.
Onboard the Coral Bay, passengers can enjoy wider seats, ample overhead bin space, and the convenience of Wi-Fi connectivity and in-flight entertainment via their own personal devices. The aircraft is also equipped with in-seat power and features a dual Business and Economy class configuration, a first for Western Australia’s charter market. This premium offering is expected to appeal to both business professionals and leisure travelers, offering a more comfortable and connected flight experience in the region.
The launch of the Embraer E190-E2 is just the beginning, as Virgin Australia’s regional arm, VARA, plans to add a total of eight E190-E2 aircraft to its fleet over the coming years. The remaining seven aircraft are scheduled for delivery through 2025, 2026, and 2027. This expansion will allow VARA to retire its aging fleet of F100 aircraft by early 2026, replacing them with more advanced, efficient aircraft better suited for the demands of regional and charter operations in Western Australia.
While the E190-E2 fleet will primarily operate on charter routes across Western Australia, the aircraft is also configured to accommodate regular passenger operations on days with higher leisure demand. This flexibility allows VARA to cater to both business clients traveling to the mining regions and tourists seeking to explore the natural beauty of Western Australia.
By investing in the E190-E2, Virgin Australia is positioning itself as a leader in sustainable aviation while supporting regional connectivity in one of the most resource-rich and remote areas of Australia. With greater efficiency and lower emissions, these aircraft will play a key role in supporting the growth of Western Australia’s tourism industry by making it easier for both tourists and business professionals to reach destinations that were once difficult to access by air.
Virgin Australia’s introduction of the E190-E2 into Western Australia’s aviation market is a testament to the airline’s commitment to sustainability and improving regional access. The new aircraft will provide faster, more efficient flights for travelers, reducing flight times and improving overall connectivity in the region. As tourism continues to grow in Western Australia, these advancements in regional air travel will enable more people to explore the state’s diverse attractions, including its vast coastline, natural parks, and vibrant cities.
In addition to improving tourism accessibility, the E190-E2 also supports Virgin Australia’s commitment to reducing aviation’s carbon footprint. The aircraft’s fuel efficiency, combined with its low emissions, positions it as a key player in greener aviation for the future, aligning with global efforts to make air travel more sustainable.
The Embraer E190-E2 has led Virgin Australia to a significant milestone of providing modern and sustainable travel options for Western Australia. By introducing this aircraft with its excellent performance, comfort, and efficiency, the airline is not only redefining the regional aviation and charter services but also facilitating the movement of tourists to the area’s vast and stunning nature. The increasing number of E190-E2S in the airline’s fleet will enable Virgin Australia to occupy a more considerable portion of the region and provide green high-class travel options for a long time to come.

Quanzhou, the ancient port city in Fujian Province, China, stands as a testament to the vibrant cultural and economic exchanges that took place on the Maritime Silk Road. Today, this UNESCO World Heritage site is embracing modern strategies to preserve its rich past while ensuring a sustainable tourism future. With 22 heritage sites recognized by UNESCO, Quanzhou offers a unique blend of history, culture, and innovative tourism initiatives, making it a destination for both history buffs and modern travelers alike.
Quanzhou’s success in balancing heritage preservation with modern development is driven by a robust legal framework. In 2023, the city introduced comprehensive regulations to safeguard its UNESCO World Heritage sites. These regulations emphasize the importance of maintaining the integrity of cultural sites while promoting responsible tourism. With these measures in place, Quanzhou is ensuring that its historical treasures are preserved for future generations while also opening them up for public exploration.
The city’s efforts are not limited to legislation. Quanzhou has launched several micro-renovation projects aimed at repairing and preserving heritage sites, such as ancient temples, bridges, and traditional architecture, while maintaining their authenticity. These projects ensure that the city’s historical charm is retained while enhancing the visitor experience.
Quanzhou’s approach to tourism is rooted in its rich cultural heritage, but it also embraces modern innovations to create a more immersive experience for visitors. The city has developed new tourism models that integrate cultural performances, local cuisine, and traditional customs with visits to historical sites. For example, tourists can enjoy performances that bring the city’s history to life or savor dishes inspired by the ancient Maritime Silk Road.
One of the most popular offerings is the “Zayton Banquet,” a culinary tour where each dish represents a different UNESCO World Heritage site. These efforts enrich the visitor experience by providing a deeper connection to the city’s culture and history, making the heritage sites feel alive and relevant in today’s world.
While preserving its historical landmarks, Quanzhou has not overlooked the importance of ecological conservation. The city is committed to maintaining a balance between tourism development and environmental sustainability. Projects such as the restoration of the Luoyang Bridge, combined with the surrounding natural environment of mangrove forests, showcase the city’s dedication to preserving both its cultural and natural heritage.
The local government has made significant investments in eco-friendly tourism infrastructure, ensuring that the city’s development is aligned with sustainable practices. These efforts not only preserve Quanzhou’s beauty but also enhance its appeal as a destination for eco-conscious travelers.
A key element of Quanzhou’s tourism strategy is community involvement. The city actively engages local residents in heritage preservation and tourism development. Through volunteer programs, educational initiatives, and cultural workshops, Quanzhou is fostering a sense of pride among its citizens, who play an essential role in maintaining the city’s identity.
The Quanzhou Institute of Cultural Heritage and other local organizations work closely with the community to provide research, training, and resources for heritage protection. This partnership between the government, local institutions, and the public ensures the long-term sustainability of the city’s cultural heritage.
The integration of cultural heritage and tourism has proven to be a major economic driver for Quanzhou. The city’s arts and cultural tourism sectors contributed significantly to the local economy, generating billions in revenue. The city’s efforts to develop cultural industry parks, such as the Straits Sculpture Cultural Industrial Park, have also spurred innovation and provided opportunities for local artisans and businesses.
Tourism-related industries are thriving in Quanzhou, with new hotels, restaurants, and cultural attractions springing up to accommodate the growing number of visitors. The city’s success in combining cultural preservation with tourism development serves as a model for other cities looking to harness the power of their heritage for sustainable growth.
Quanzhou’s future looks promising as it continues to develop its cultural tourism sector while safeguarding its unique heritage. With its rich history, vibrant culture, and innovative tourism initiatives, Quanzhou is positioning itself as a global destination for those seeking to explore China’s past while experiencing its dynamic present.
As Quanzhou balances the delicate act of preserving its heritage and promoting sustainable tourism, it is not only enriching the lives of those who visit but also setting a global example for heritage tourism. The city’s commitment to cultural preservation and community involvement ensures that Quanzhou will continue to shine as a beacon of cultural heritage for generations to come.

Brigade Hotel Ventures, one of the foremost hospitality companies in Bengaluru, has announced an expansion plan which focuses on doubling the hotel portfolio by the year 2030. Increasing hotel inventory has been aligned with the Ministry of Tourism in India towards improving the increment of tourist employment in the. India as of late has seen a boost in growth within the traveling industry and it’s largely in part due to the target of the govt on developmental sustainability.
The hotel chain plans to add approximately 1,700 hotel keys across nine new properties, which will elevate its total inventory to about 3,300 keys by the end of the decade. Brigade Hotel Ventures’ expansion strategy is poised to play a key role in fulfilling the broader vision of the Ministry of Tourism to enhance India’s tourism infrastructure. By investing in new hotels, the company aims to make Bengaluru an even more attractive destination for tourists, both from India and abroad.
This strategic move is expected to significantly boost the city’s hospitality offerings, thus making Bengaluru an even more appealing option for tourists. With a focus on both quality and sustainability, Brigade Hotel Ventures seeks to provide a world-class experience while supporting the region’s long-term growth.
The hospitality expansion will have a far-reaching impact on Bengaluru’s tourism infrastructure. As the demand for both leisure and business travel grows, enhancing hotel capacity in the city is essential. Brigade Hotel Ventures’ plans will help in accommodating the increasing number of visitors drawn to Bengaluru’s vibrant tech industry, educational institutions, and cultural attractions.
This expansion also complements the Government of India’s efforts to develop tourism as a key driver of economic growth. Bengaluru, already one of the nation’s most popular destinations for both business and leisure, is well-positioned to benefit from an upgrade in its accommodation infrastructure. By meeting this growing demand, Brigade Hotel Ventures is contributing to the broader goal of making tourism one of the major contributors to the economy.
Brigade Hotel Ventures’ decision to expand aligns closely with the Ministry of Tourism’s initiatives aimed at developing India’s tourism infrastructure. This includes schemes like Swadesh Darshan 2.0, which focuses on the holistic development of tourism destinations across the country. By improving the range and quality of hospitality services, Brigade’s expansion supports this scheme, which encourages both private and public sector investment in tourism projects.
The Indian government has also been emphasizing sustainable tourism development. This focus encourages investments that benefit both the local economy and environment while preserving cultural heritage and natural resources. Brigade Hotel Ventures’ expansion is in line with these government objectives, with the company planning to incorporate sustainability initiatives into its new properties. This will likely involve using eco-friendly building materials, reducing energy consumption, and integrating green practices into day-to-day hotel operations.
Additionally, the company’s expansion reflects the government’s broader economic strategy to boost regional development. By bringing high-quality hotel accommodations to new areas within Bengaluru, Brigade Hotel Ventures is helping spread the economic benefits of tourism across the city, thus aiding in the balanced development of the region.
One of the key benefits of Brigade Hotel Ventures’ expansion is its potential to create significant employment opportunities. The hospitality sector is one of India’s largest employers, and with the growth of new hotels, Brigade is set to provide jobs in both the construction phase and once the properties are operational. From front-end staff, housekeeping, and maintenance personnel to managerial roles and hospitality training, the job opportunities will span a wide range of sectors.
The Indian government has long recognized the importance of skill development in the tourism and hospitality industries. Various initiatives, including the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), aim to enhance the employability of workers in these fields. Brigade Hotel Ventures’ expansion provides an ideal opportunity to tap into this pool of skilled talent, further promoting the government’s efforts to provide relevant training and skills development in tourism and hospitality.
Moreover, as the company continues to expand, it will likely introduce training programs designed to build skills among local communities. These programs will ensure that employees are equipped with the necessary expertise to offer exceptional services to guests, thus elevating the overall tourism experience in Bengaluru.
The plans of Brigade Hotel Ventures to double its hotel portfolio by the year 2030 can be seen as a bold step. The plans strike a good balance between the company’s objectives as well as the broader tourism objectives of the country. The expansion will also develop Bengaluru’s infrastructure and add to the city’s global tourism. Brigade Hotel Ventures is giving a nod to the Pan India Approach and supporting the positive developments by providing investment to the country’s changing tourism landscape
The company is set to fulfill the increasing demand of accommodation as well as high class hospitality services which will help the company make an impact to the national tourism and the local economy. In this process, Brigade Hotel Ventures is also actively participating in the construction of Bengaluru’s global tourism as well as the country’s tourism policy investment.

Cancun, Riviera Maya, Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey and the wider state of Quintana Roo are experiencing a dramatic rise in visitor numbers as Mexico enters its most anticipated cultural season of the year. The world-famous Day of the Dead festivities have turned these destinations into immersive cultural arenas filled with symbolic rituals, vibrant altars, traditional dances and colorful parades. From October 27 to November 2, both domestic and international travelers are arriving in record numbers to experience a celebration that blends ancestral belief with emotional depth and visual spectacle.
Tourism momentum has climbed sharply as rising global interest in cultural travel aligns with Mexico’s enhanced air connectivity, strengthened hotel infrastructure and powerful international promotion. Official tourism data projects around 1.6 million hotel rooms will be occupied during the Día de Muertos period, representing a 2.3 percent increase over the previous year. This surge highlights not only the economic value of Mexico’s cultural heritage but also its ability to attract high-volume tourism through meaningful and authentic experiences rooted in history, identity and tradition.
According to official tourism estimates, 73 percent of these reservations are being made by domestic travelers, reflecting strong national interest in maintaining cultural traditions, while 27 percent of bookings come from international visitors. The figures show that global fascination with Mexico’s spiritual heritage continues to grow, especially around Día de Muertos, a colorful and symbolic celebration designated by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
The Day of the Dead is far more than a holiday in Mexico – it is a ceremony of remembrance and love, honoring ancestors through altars, candles, marigold flowers, and artistic tributes. Rather than mourning death, families celebrate the cycle of life with joy, music, traditional cuisine, and offerings believed to guide the souls of loved ones back to the world of the living.
This year, tourism authorities are emphasizing the cultural depth and emotional resonance of the celebration, noting its growing ability to connect with international visitors seeking meaningful travel experiences. Many travelers are choosing Mexico not just for beaches and resorts, but to immerse themselves in authentic cultural identity and ancestral tradition.
While Día de Muertos is observed nationwide, several destinations are emerging as hotspots for travelers during this year’s festivities:
| Destination | Expected Tourism Role |
|---|---|
| Cancún | Leading hotel bookings, cultural shows and beachfront altars |
| Riviera Maya | Popular with families, archaeological tours and themed events |
| Mexico City | Hosts the famous Day of the Dead Parade and mega-offerings |
| Guadalajara | Combines mariachi heritage with traditional cemetery tributes |
| Monterrey | Offers large cultural festivals and open-air performances |
Tourist routes combining cultural immersion with scenic exploration are gaining popularity. Heritage towns like Pátzcuaro, Oaxaca, San Miguel de Allende, and Janitzio Island are also seeing strong visitor interest due to their visually stunning and deeply communal celebrations.
In the Caribbean state of Quintana Roo, the Day of the Dead takes on a special cultural form through the Mayan tradition known as Janal Pixan, which translates to “Food for Souls.” This regional variant blends ancient spiritual beliefs with colonial rituals, offering a unique cultural experience that many tourists are eager to explore.
Festivities will take place in Cancún from October 30 and 31 to November 1 and 2, featuring family altars, traditional gastronomy, music, and theatrical performances honoring ancestral spirits. One of the most anticipated events in Cancún will be a multi-day cultural performance in Puerto Juárez, titled “Puerto de los Suspiros” (Port of Sighs), which is expected to attract thousands of local and visiting spectators.
Mexico’s tourism sector is positioning Día de Muertos as a global cultural attraction, using media campaigns and immersive experiences to promote the holiday to international travelers. Tourism leaders highlight the celebration not only as a cultural treasure but also as a major economic driver that supports local artisans, traditional performers, indigenous communities, and family-owned businesses.
Craft markets, ancestral rituals, folkloric dance troupes, and cultural showcases are being integrated into tourism strategies across all 32 Mexican states. Government tourism departments have also emphasized the importance of safeguarding indigenous customs while expanding their reach to new generations and global audiences.
To meet the surge in travel demand, hotels and resorts across major tourist zones have introduced special packages that include cultural tours, altar-building workshops, cemetery visits, and Day of the Dead banquets featuring traditional dishes like pan de muerto and mole. Airlines operating flights from North America, Europe, and South America have reported increased seat capacity on routes to Cancún, Mexico City, and Mérida during the holiday period.
Many tourism operators anticipate that this year could see record spending levels, as travelers are increasingly seeking experiential tourism – trips that offer emotional connection, cultural education, and authentic interaction with local communities.
Across Mexico, preparations are underway not only to welcome visitors but also to restore cultural pride. The Day of the Dead continues to transcend generations, preserving indigenous roots and storytelling traditions that reflect Mexico’s view of life as a sacred journey. For many locals and visitors alike, the holiday is a reminder of shared humanity, memory, and spiritual continuity.
With traveler interest rising worldwide and festive programming expanding each year, Mexico’s Day of the Dead stands as one of the most powerful cultural tourism experiences on Earth – a celebration where tradition, emotion, and identity meet.

China has rolled out significant upgrades to its railway system to enhance the overall passenger experience, including the introduction of high-speed trains and overnight sleeper services. The new high-speed trains are designed to reduce travel times on major routes, offering passengers faster and more efficient journeys. Operating on key intercity lines, these trains promise smoother, quicker travel for both commuters and travelers. Additionally, the overnight sleeper services provide long-distance travelers a convenient way to rest during their journey, arriving refreshed and ready for the day ahead. These innovations cater to the growing demand for more comfortable, flexible, and time-efficient travel, greatly improving the rail experience across the country.
One of the most impactful developments in China’s railway system is the addition of 266 new high-speed trains in the final quarter of the year. These trains, which operate on key routes like Beijing-Guangzhou, Beijing-Shanghai, Shanghai-Kunming, and Beijing-Harbin, have been designed to reduce travel times by minimizing stops along the way. As a result, passengers can now enjoy significantly faster journeys between major cities, reinforcing China’s ambition to streamline intercity travel and create a more time-efficient railway network.
This boost in high-speed services not only enhances the convenience of travel but also serves as a key element in fostering economic growth and regional integration. Shorter travel times help to strengthen the connections between bustling urban hubs, making it easier for people to move across the country for work, leisure, and business.
Understanding the need for greater flexibility in long-distance travel, China has introduced a new fleet of overnight high-speed sleeper trains on some of its most popular routes. These trains provide an option for travelers who prefer to rest during the night while traveling between cities. New connections between major cities such as Beijing and Chengdu, Beijing and Guiyang, Shanghai and Chengdu, and Shanghai and Yibin are set to benefit commuters and tourists alike.
The new overnight services are designed to connect important urban regions such as the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area, the Yangtze River Delta, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and the Chengdu-Chongqing region. These sleeper trains are a game-changer for passengers looking to optimize their time, allowing them to sleep through the night and begin their day at their destination refreshed and ready to go. This initiative addresses the growing demand for more flexible travel options, enabling travelers to maximize their schedules while enjoying a comfortable journey.
In addition to expanding high-speed and overnight services, China has further enhanced its rail offerings by implementing metro-style intercity train services in regions with high commuter demand. For example, the Beijing-Tianjin intercity line now operates an impressive 232 trains daily, with some departures as frequent as every three minutes. This high-frequency service ensures that commuters have a reliable and efficient option for travel, reducing wait times and increasing the convenience of daily train journeys.
Other regions, such as the Yangtze River Delta, the Greater Bay Area, and the Chengdu-Chongqing area, are also benefiting from similarly high-frequency services. These intercity rail systems not only facilitate more seamless commuting but also promote regional development by improving connectivity between cities. The increased frequency of trains helps meet the growing demand for quick, convenient travel in these high-population, economically vital areas, contributing to a more integrated and efficient transportation system.
China’s railway system has also introduced several new passenger benefits aimed at enhancing convenience and affordability. Senior citizens and young travelers can now take advantage of more flexible ticketing options, which provide increased savings and greater convenience when booking their tickets. Students, in particular, benefit from an upgraded booking experience on the 12306 platform, which simplifies the process and offers wider discounts across all seat categories, including sleeper cabins.
In addition to these improvements, the system has fully digitalized its e-ticketing services, making it easier for passengers to purchase tickets online. Passengers can now access a variety of ticket types, such as multi-trip and periodic passes, available on 73 different routes. These digital innovations reduce the need for paper tickets and streamline the entire booking process, making it faster and more convenient for travelers.
China’s railway system is also making significant strides in practical and digital upgrades that improve the overall passenger experience. Quiet carriages are now available for passengers seeking a more peaceful environment during their journey. Additionally, the ability to pre-order meals at 94 stations adds another level of convenience for travelers, ensuring they can enjoy a meal during their journey without unnecessary delays.
Other notable improvements include pet transport services on 54 trains and luggage delivery options at 19 stations, making it easier for travelers to bring their pets or have their luggage delivered directly to their destinations. These new services cater to a broader range of passenger needs, ensuring a more enjoyable and comfortable travel experience for all.
The ongoing transformation of China’s railway system reflects a broader shift toward creating a people-centered transportation network. With a focus on improving speed, comfort, and convenience, these new initiatives ensure that the railway sector can meet the evolving needs of travelers. From high-speed trains to digital ticketing and personalized travel benefits, China is building a more efficient and accessible railway system that not only improves the quality of travel but also strengthens regional integration and economic ties.
China is enhancing the passenger experience by introducing high-speed trains to reduce travel times and overnight sleeper services for more comfortable, flexible long-distance travel, catering to the growing demand for faster and more convenient rail options.
These upgrades reflect China’s long-term vision for its railway sector, which is evolving from a traditional transport network into a modern, customer-focused service system. As China continues to develop its rail infrastructure, these improvements will help passengers travel more easily, comfortably, and efficiently, contributing to a seamless travel experience that supports both personal and professional journeys across the nation.

Mexico is once again preparing for a weekend of deep emotion, color and cultural pride as the nation welcomes the arrival of Día de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead — a timeless tradition that celebrates life by honoring those who have passed into the spiritual world. Far from being a moment of mourning, the festival stands as a vibrant reminder that love transcends death and that memory is a bridge that connects generations.
Across every corner of the country, from the Yucatán Peninsula to Baja California, families are preparing ofrendas — home altars filled with candles, incense, photographs, sugar skulls, bright papel picado banners and favorite foods of departed loved ones. At the heart of every altar lies the cempasúchil, the fiery orange marigold whose fragrance is believed to guide spirits safely back to the world of the living. Entire streets, town squares and cemeteries transform into glowing pathways of petals and candlelight as families await their spiritual guests.
Observed annually on November 1st and 2nd, the Day of the Dead is a fusion of ancient Indigenous beliefs and spiritual customs. Rooted in pre-Hispanic rituals that honor cyclical life, the celebration was later shaped by cultural traditions introduced over centuries, evolving into one of Mexico’s most meaningful cultural expressions. The first day, known as Día de los Angelitos, welcomes the spirits of children, while November 2nd, Día de los Difuntos, is dedicated to adults who have passed.
Unlike somber memorials found elsewhere in the world, Mexico’s approach to remembering the dead blends story, music, art, humor and spiritual conviction. It is a celebration that carries the message that no one truly dies if they are never forgotten.
Every region in Mexico brings a unique cultural expression to this festival:
In 2008, UNESCO recognized the Day of the Dead as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, describing it as a tradition that preserves collective memory and strengthens cultural identity. It has since become a symbol of Mexico’s artistic soul, spiritual resilience and intergenerational unity.
The magic of this festival has captivated travelers from around the world. Tourism analysts forecast that more than 1.6 million hotel stays will be registered across Mexico during this year’s celebrations — a rise of over 2% compared with the previous year. Popular destinations like Mexico City, Oaxaca, Pátzcuaro, Mérida, Guanajuato, Cancun and Puebla are reporting strong demand as both international and domestic travelers arrive to experience the festival.
Markets overflow with traditional pastries like pan de muerto — a soft sweet bread dusted with sugar — and steaming pots of tamales simmer in every town square. Mariachi bands play into the night while families share memories and stories that keep loved ones alive in spirit.
The Day of the Dead is more than a cultural event — it is a tribute to family bonds, a reaffirmation of community and a reminder that heritage lives on through tradition. It is a celebration where memory becomes a light, grief transforms into gratitude and the past walks hand-in-hand with the present.
As Mexico prepares for another year of heartfelt celebration, candles will be lit, altars will glow and doors will symbolically open to welcome home those who are never forgotten.

Camping World Holdings Inc. generated revenue of around US 1.8 billion dollars in the third quarter of 2025 which ended on 30 September, marking a 4.7 percent increase year on year. Simultaneously, total sales of new and used vehicles increased by 14.6 percent to 38,980 units.
Sales of new vehicles increased by 1.7 percent to 20,286 units and sales of used vehicles increased by 32.9 percent to 18,694 units.
The sharp increase in used-vehicle volume reflects shifting consumer dynamics in the RV tourism sector. As affordability becomes top-of-mind for travellers, used vehicles offer an accessible entry point into the mobile outdoor-travel lifestyle. Average selling price for used units fell modestly (by about 0.9 per cent) while gross margin on used vehicles improved to 18.3 per cent, underscoring the strength of the segment.
In contrast, the new vehicle segment saw an 8.6 per cent decrease in average selling price and a slight margin decline (to 12.7 per cent), indicating more pressure in the premium end of the market.
Beyond vehicle sales, the group’s products, service and other revenue amounted to US$208.6 million, down 7.2 per cent from the prior year. The fall was attributed to a shift in labour toward used-vehicle reconditioning rather than customer-pay work. Nevertheless, the gross margin in this segment improved to 45.2 per cent, driven by higher labour billing rates and more efficient inventory management.
This aftermarket and servicing element is central to the broader outdoor-travel ecosystem, as recreational vehicle owners invest in maintenance, upgrades and accessories that support tourism usage.
Year-to-date, the company reported a record 13.5 per cent market share in new and used units combined, an improvement of over 200 basis points. Same-store unit volumes for the company increased 15.6 per cent overall in the quarter (2.9 per cent for new, 33.4 per cent for used) indicating that core locations continue to leverage the tourism-driven demand for mobile adventures.
Gross profit rose to US 517.0 million dollars, up 3.7 per cent, with the overall gross margin at 28.6 per cent. Operating expenses dipped slightly: SG and A (selling, general & administrative) decreased by 0.8 per cent to US 411.0 million dollars.
Finance costs also improved floor-plan interest expense fell 19.3 per cent and other interest costs declined 13.6 per cent, aided by lower interest rates and reduced principal balances.
Adjusted EBITDA reached approximately US 95.7 million dollars, growing 41.8 per cent year-on-year, signalling improved operating leverage and tourism-driven momentum.
The strong performance of used-vehicle sales at Camping World underscores a broader trend: travellers are turning increasingly to flexible mobile accommodations such as RVs as part of their vacation planning. This shift is supporting the RV-dealer ecosystem, including vehicle sales, servicing and accessories.
Given the growing emphasis on affordability, used RVs present a lower-cost pathway for consumers to engage in outdoor and camp-style tourism. The increased service and maintenance revenue further supports sustained usage and longer-term vehicle retention, which in turn drives repeat tourism activity.
Moreover, the company’s consolidation of store locations (net store count fell to 197 as of 30 September 2025) suggests a focus on cost efficiency and profitability rather than pure branch expansion aligning with mature outdoor-tourism demand rather than speculative growth.
While the company anticipates continued positive momentum from the used segment and aftermarket services, new vehicle growth remains a concern because of the rising cost and pressure on affordability. This balanced position makes sense considering headwinds the broader tourism market may face like travel cost inflation or changes to discretionary spending.
That said, RV ownership still remains attractive, and with mobile and outdoor tourism growing rapidly, companies across the entire value chain- sales, service, and accessories- may be well positioned to take advantage.
For the outdoor-tourism ecosystem, the used RV channel is booming with sales reinforcing the need for affordable travel to flexible travel options in consumers for spontaneous travel or nature-based vacations.
In all, the results from Camping World’s strong third-quarter 2025 results reinforce the resiliency of RV-led tourism and used vehicle service and infrastructure in the market. With the growing demand of consumers on mobility, comfort, and outdoor experiences, the RV dealer model is a strong contributor to the tourism industry.

Atalanta and AC Milan played out a gritty 1–1 draw at the Gewiss Stadium on Tuesday night, October 28, 2025. The result wasn’t surprising, as Softfootball predicted a 1-1 draw in the pre-game reports, and the match had its moments, some flashes of brilliance, but also long stretches where both sides just couldn’t finish what they started.
Milan drew first blood early. In the 6th minute, Samuele Ricci let one fly from a distance, and with a bit of luck, it took a heavy touch off Éderson that completely wrong-footed Marco Carnesecchi. It wasn’t the prettiest goal, but Milan would take it all day, as they even posted a video of the celebratory scenes after that banger goal on their official X account.
Watch the video below:
Ricci puts Milan in front early on!

Atalanta didn’t sit back. They kept pushing, and Ademola Lookman, who’s looked sharper lately, kept asking questions. After a couple of close shaves, he finally got his reward in the 38th minute. Mario Pašalić slid a clever ball through, and Lookman smashed it home with his left foot for his first goal of the season.
The crowd erupted; Bergamo was bouncing again. Prophetically, Softfootball did an earlier report on Ademola Lookman beginning to find his groove again; the forward responded with his first league goal after appearing to have buried the hatchet with the Atalanta hierarchy.
In the second half, Milan came out with a bit more purpose. Christopher Nkunku replaced Rafael Leão, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek came on for Santiago Giménez, who limped off holding his ankle not a great sign for Allegri’s men. The Rossoneri had the better spells, but honestly, not enough end product. Mike Maignan had to pull off a big save from Davide Zappacosta, though Atalanta probably looked more likely to nick it late on.
In the end, it’s another draw for Atalanta, their fifth in a row, and frustration showed on Ivan Jurić’s face Massimiliano Allegri, meanwhile, stays unbeaten since returning to Milan, but you can sense he’s not entirely happy either. Nine games in, they’re solid, just not sparkling.
Next up, Atalanta travel to Udinese on November 1, while Milan host AS Roma at San Siro a day earlier. Both are still in the title race, but neither are really firing on all cylinders.
In one of the most eagerly anticipated ties of the DFB-Pokal second round, Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Dortmund served up a thrilling contest that had everything early goals, missed chances, extra-time drama, and finally, penalties. After 120 minutes of football couldn’t separate the sides in a tense 1-1 draw, Dortmund held their nerve in the shootout to win 4-2 and book their place in the next round, Softfootball reports.
Frankfurt came into the clash looking to bounce back from a bruising 5-1 defeat to Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League a result that dented both their confidence and pride. But in front of their home fans, they started like a team desperate to make amends.
Within seven minutes, they were ahead, and it was two familiar faces who combined to do the damage. Former BVB stars Mario Götze and Ansgar Knauff linked up beautifully, with Götze threading a precise ball through for Knauff to slot past Gregor Kobel and make it 1-0.
That early strike set the tone, and Frankfurt’s energy continued to trouble Dortmund. Farès Chaïbi thought he had doubled the lead shortly after, but the flag went up for offside. Meanwhile, Dortmund despite plenty of possession struggled to find rhythm in the final third. Karim Adeyemi saw a shot blocked, and young Jobe Bellingham headed wide as BVB’s attack looked disjointed.
Frankfurt pushed for a second, with Ritsu Dōan forcing Kobel into a smart save and Arthur Theate testing him from distance, but the Swiss keeper stood firm to keep his team in it. The hosts went into the break with a narrow lead, but Dortmund emerged for the second half with renewed purpose — and within three minutes, they were level.
A crisp move down the right saw Bellingham find Julian Ryerson, whose cross was met by Julian Brandt for a simple tap-in to make it 1-1. The goal shifted momentum instantly. Still, Frankfurt refused to fold. Knauff continued to torment his former club, testing Kobel once more, while Dōan rattled the crossbar with a thunderous effort that had the home crowd gasping.
As the game wore on, both managers turned to their benches. Niko Kovač introduced Serhou Guirassy for Dortmund in search of a late winner, while Dino Toppmöller brought on Ellyes Skhiri and Can Uzun to inject energy. Frankfurt looked closest to nicking it when Uzun forced another brilliant stop from Kobel, while at the other end, Fábio Silva’s late strike was tipped wide by Zetterer.
Extra-time brought tension rather than action. Chaïbi went close again, and Guirassy tried an ambitious bicycle kick that drew applause, but neither side could find a breakthrough. Frankfurt thought they’d finally done it when Burkardt turned home from close range, but VAR quickly ruled it out for offside. The tie was heading to the one place both sets of fans feared a penalty shootout.
And as SoftFootball predicted before kickoff, this was always going to be a tight affair, even correctly called the outcome, a 1-2 result for Dortmund after penalties and that’s exactly how it played out.
After the game, Dortmund shared an emotional video via its official X handle,showing the players celebrating and rejoicing at the away end with the black and yellow fans.They posted
Das macht einfach nur Laune!
— Borussia Dortmund (@BVB) October 28, 2025pic.twitter.com/mF3OqpH7eb
Under the immense pressure of the shootout, Frankfurt blinked first. Dōan fired his effort over the bar, and Kobel produced another hero moment by saving Chaïbi’s spot-kick. Dortmund were clinical from 12 yards, converting all four attempts to seal a dramatic 4-2 shootout win and advance to the next round.
For Frankfurt, it’s another painful night following their Champions League humiliation at the hands of Liverpool. For Dortmund, though, it was a gritty, hard-earned win — the kind that can boost a team’s belief for the challenges ahead.
Al-Ittihad booked their place in the King’s Cup quarterfinals after a dramatic 2–1 win over Al-Nassr on Tuesday night, despite being reduced to ten men late in the game. Softfootball, in an earlier report, expected Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo to be influential in this encounter, and they delivered. Benzema got the first goal for his team, while Cristiano Ronaldo was involved in Al-Nassr’s equaliser.
The visitors struck early when Karim Benzema calmly slotted home in the 15th minute, punishing a defensive lapse from Al-Nassr. That goal gave Al-Ittihad confidence to settle quickly into their rhythm. But the hosts responded with energy, and it was Ângelo Gabriel who brought the game level on the half-hour mark with a smart finish inside the box.
Just when it looked like the first half would end even, Houssem Aouar pounced on another sloppy moment at the back, firing Al-Ittihad ahead in stoppage time (45+2’). His goal silenced the home crowd and restored the visitors’ control going into the break.
The second half was almost all Al-Nassr; 67.6% possession and 22 shots tell the story, but it was not quite enough to turn it around. Ronaldo had a golden chance one-on-one but missed narrowly, while Kingsley Coman and João Félix both saw efforts denied by goalkeeper Predrag Rajković, who made four crucial saves to preserve his side’s lead.
There was late drama when Ahmed Al-Julaydan saw red for a rash challenge on Aiman Yahya, leaving Al-Ittihad down to ten men for the closing stages. Still, Al-Nassr failed to capitalise, their attack running out of ideas as the visitors clung on for a hard-fought win.
It was the second meeting between both sides this season; the last time, back in September, Al-Nassr won 2–0 thanks to Sadio Mané and Ronaldo. But this time, it was Al-Ittihad who had the final say.
With the victory, Al-Ittihad move on to face either Al-Ahli or Al-Fayha in the quarterfinals. The victory was so important Al-Ittihad posted a video of Fabinho celebrating via the Al-Ittihad official X account.

While Al-Nassr will turn their attention back to the Saudi Pro League, still sitting top of the table thanks to goals from Joan Felix and Cristiano Ronaldo in their 2-0 victory over Al hazem. They face Al-Ettifaq next on November 2 before a mouth-watering clash with Al-Hilal.
A bitter night for Ronaldo’s men, but a statement win for Benzema and Aouar, who might just have reignited Al-Ittihad’s chase for silverware.

New research suggests that the desire for a psychologically rich life, one filled with varied and perspective-altering experiences, is a significant driver behind why people choose activities that are intentionally unpleasant or challenging. The series of studies, published in the journal Psychology & Marketing, indicates that this preference is largely fueled by a motivation for personal growth.
Researchers have long been interested in why people sometimes opt for experiences that are not traditionally pleasurable, such as watching horror movies, eating intensely sour foods, or enduring grueling physical challenges. This behavior, known as counterhedonic consumption, seems to contradict the basic human drive to seek pleasure and avoid pain. While previous explanations have pointed to factors like sensation-seeking or a desire to accumulate a diverse set of life experiences, researchers proposed a new motivational framework to explain this phenomenon.
They theorized that some individuals are driven by a search for psychological richness, a dimension of well-being distinct from happiness or a sense of meaning. A psychologically rich life is characterized by novelty, complexity, and experiences that shift one’s perspective. The researchers hypothesized that this drive could lead people to embrace discomfort, not for the discomfort itself, but for the personal transformation and growth such experiences might offer.
To investigate this idea, the researchers conducted a series of ten studies involving a total of 2,275 participants. In an initial study, participants were presented with a poster for a haunted house pass and asked how likely they would be to try it. They also completed questionnaires measuring their desire for a psychologically rich life, as well as their desire for a happy or meaningful life and their tendency toward sensation-seeking.
The results showed a positive relationship between the search for psychological richness and a preference for the haunted house experience. This connection remained even when accounting for the other factors.
To see if this finding extended beyond fear-based activities, a subsequent study presented participants with a detailed description of an intensely sour chicken dish. Again, individuals who scored higher on the scale for psychological richness expressed a greater likelihood of ordering the dish.
A third study solidified these findings in a choice-based scenario, asking participants to select between a “blissful garden” experience and a “dark maze” designed to be disorienting. Those with a stronger desire for psychological richness were more likely to choose the dark maze, a finding that held even after controlling for general risk-taking tendencies.
Having established a consistent link, the research team sought to determine causality. In another experiment, they temporarily prompted one group of participants to focus on psychological richness by having them write about what it means to make choices based on a desire for interesting and perspective-changing outcomes. A control group wrote about their daily life. Afterward, both groups were asked about their interest in a horror movie streaming service.
The group primed to think about psychological richness showed a significantly higher preference for the service, suggesting that this mindset can directly cause an increased interest in counterhedonic experiences.
The next step was to understand the psychological process behind this link. The researchers proposed that a focus on self-growth was the key mechanism. One study tested this by again presenting the sour food scenario and then asking participants to what extent their choice was motivated by a desire for self-discovery and personal development. A statistical analysis revealed that the desire for self-growth fully explained the connection between a search for psychological richness and the preference for the sour dish.
To ensure self-growth was the primary driver, another study tested it against an alternative explanation: the desire to create profound memories. While a rich life might involve creating interesting stories to tell, the results showed that self-growth was the significant factor explaining the choice for the sour dish, whereas the desire for profound memories was not.
Further strengthening the causal claim, another experiment first manipulated participants’ focus on psychological richness and then measured their self-growth motivation. The results showed that the manipulation increased a focus on self-growth, which in turn increased the preference for the counterhedonic food item.
A final, more nuanced experiment provided further support for the self-growth mechanism. In this study, the researchers manipulated self-growth motivation directly. One group was asked to write about making choices that foster personal growth, while a control group was not. In the control condition, the expected pattern emerged: people higher in the search for psychological richness were more interested in the sour dish.
However, in the group where self-growth was made salient, preferences for the sour dish increased across the board. This effectively reduced the predictive power of a person’s baseline level of psychological richness, indicating that when the need for self-growth is met, the underlying trait becomes less of a deciding factor.
The research has some limitations. Many of the studies relied on hypothetical scenarios and self-reported preferences, which may not perfectly reflect real-world consumer behavior. The researchers suggest that future work could use field experiments to observe actual choices in natural settings. They also note that cultural differences could play a role, as some cultures may place a higher value on experiences of discomfort as a pathway to wisdom or personal development. Exploring these boundary conditions could provide a more complete picture of this motivational system.
The study, “The Allure of Pain: How the Quest for Psychological Richness Drives Counterhedonic Consumption,” was authored by Sarah Su Lin Lee, Ritesh Saini, and Shashi Minchael.
Atalanta held Milan to a closely-fought 1-1 draw on Tuesday evening, with Croatian attacking midfielder Mario Pasalic Football Italia’s Man of the Match.
Atalanta: Carnesecchi 6; Kossounou 6, Hien 6.5, Ahanor 5.5 (Djimsiti 6), Zappacosta 6; Ederson 6, De Roon 6 (Bresciani 6); Bernasconi 6.5 (Bellanova 6), Pasalic 7.5 (Musah N/A), Lookman 7, De Ketelaere 6 (Samardzic N/A)
Best Atalanta player: Pasalic – The Croatian playmaker had a ball out there tonight, creating plenty of chances for his side, including the assist for Lookman’s equaliser, and being a constant menace for the Rossoneri defence to deal with. His passing was near-perfect and today the 30-year-old outshone his compatriot Luka Modric.
Lowest Atalanta rating: Ahanor – Fairly poor performance from the teenager tonight, although feels harsh to judge him too much as he is a young player with an important role in this Atalanta side. However, He did not look as solid as his defensive teammates and was eventually substituted off with twenty minutes to play.
Coach: Ivan Juric 7 – Subs had a good impact on the game and he set up his side in such a way to make life very difficult for Allegri’s Milan. The Rossoneri have only lost once so far this season and it could have so nearly been two, with La Dea the more dominant side this evening. Juric needs to find a way to turn these close draws into victories moving forward.
Milan: Maignan 6; Tomori 5.5, Gabbia 6, Pavlovic 6.5; Saelemaekers 5, Fofana 6, Modric 6, Ricci 7, Bartesaghi 6; Leao 5.5 (Nkunku 6), Gimenez 5 (Loftus-Cheek 6.5)
Best Milan player: Ricci – After spending his first months in Milan hardly touching the pitch, with the Rossoneri preferring Modric, Fofana and Rabiot as a midfield three, Ricci is now settling in. He picked up an assist in his last match and a goal against Atalanta today was his first in Rossoneri colours.
Lowest Milan rating: Gimenez – A yellow card and an injury marred an already flat performance from the Mexican forward. Needs to sort himself out at Milan before the Rossoneri sign a replacement.
Coach: Allegri 6 – Another evening of making the right decisions on paper but his squad letting him down. Made just the essential substitutions and seems to be sorely lacking in any sort of back-up plan for when his side are struggling.
Relive all the action as it happened in today’s Serie A matches on our Live Blog.
AC Milan dropped points again, as Atalanta earned their fifth consecutive Serie A stalemate with the first Ademola Lookman goal since his summer drama cancelling out a Samuele Ricci strike.
La Dea were the only unbeaten side in Serie A, but with just two victories, including four consecutive stalemates. Giorgio Scalvini and Mitchel Bakker were still out of action, but they opted for Ademola Lookman and Charles De Ketelaere supported by Mario Pasalic. The Rossoneri were reeling after losing top spot with a 2-2 draw against Pisa, as Ruben Loftus-Cheek returned to the bench, with Christian Pulisic, Adrien Rabiot, Pervis Estupinan and Ardon Jashari injured.
See how it all unfolded on the Liveblog.
Milan took an early lead, as Honest Ahanor cleared a corner to the edge of the area where Samuele Ricci let it bounce and hit the half-volley into the ground, a deflection off Ederson completely wrong-footing Marco Carnesecchi.
Isak Hien nodded a corner just wide, but Atalanta lost captain Marten de Roon to a muscular problem, replaced by ex-Milan midfielder Marco Brescianini.
Ederson tested Mike Maignan from the edge of the box, while Ahanor nodded a Charles De Ketelaere cross wide at the back post, but Ahanor missed a sitter when his first touch was heavy and at full stretch he prodded over the bar from nine yards.
Atalanta did get back on level terms with the first goal Lookman has scored since his summer transfer rebellion. He ran onto the Mario Pasalic through ball and took a touch before smashing the unstoppable left-foot finish into the roof of the net from a tricky angle.
Christopher Nkunku replaced a quiet Rafael Leao for the restart, with Lookman and Bernasconi seeing attempts charged down, while Santiago Gimenez went off with an ankle knock.
Alexis Saelemaekers found himself in an ideal position after combining with Youssouf Fofana, but instead of going for goal, he tried to set up Nkunku and it fell apart.
Odilon Kossounou showed impressive calm to chest a Loftus-Cheek header back to Carnesecchi, anticipating Nkunku from a couple of yards in front of goal.
Bernasconi also threw himself in the path of a Saelemaekers volley after the Luka Modric corner was punched away, then Fofana scuffed a volley wide on the Bartesaghi knockdown at the back post.
Atalanta thought they had taken the lead on 85 minutes when Davide Zappacosta shrugged off a challenge and launched a curler from distance that Maignan flew to fingertip over the bar with one hand. On the resulting corner, Zappacosta also drilled wide of the near post.
Matteo Gabbia made a decisive block on former teammate Yunus Musah at the near post on a Berat Djimsiti assist.

Antonio Conte has not forgotten Inter protests about the refereeing and hopes the Lecce penalty against Napoli today was not ‘moaning influencing the referees.’
The tension was over the weekend when Napoli beat Inter 3-1 including a penalty that was awarded by the assistant referee with minimal contact between Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Giovanni Di Lorenzo.
Many pundits suggested that the spot-kick should’ve been overturned with a VAR review, and that the referee should not have blindly accepted the verdict of his assistant.
Inter protested at that decision, sending President Beppe Marotta to the press room, so Conte referenced this after Lecce received a penalty for Juan Jesus handball.
“It is not right for me to come here and complain, as too few days have passed since the last game with a very different type of behaviour from others,” said Conte in his press conference.
“We remain hopeful that the moaning is not influencing Rocchi and the referees. When Presidents arrive to speak to the media, they think that they are sending a strong message and influencing the narrative.
“We are not here to whine, but we’re not stupid either.”
The referee had not initially awarded the penalty to Lecce this evening at the Stadio Via del Mare, but it was given following a VAR On-Field Review.
It took quite a few minutes to find the footage from an angle that showed the hand bent back by the Kialonda Gaspar header.
Luciano Spalletti is ready to put pen to paper at Juventus, but the decisive element was his acceptance of a contract to June with automatic renewal for Champions League qualification.
As we had explained already, Spalletti was always the first choice for the job after the club decided to pull the plug on Igor Tudor not even three months into the season.
Roberto Mancini had already been on the outskirts from yesterday and was never really a Plan B, while Raffaele Palladino was only kept warm as an alternative in case the negotiations didn’t go well.
The former Italy boss was always the main focus and only an extraordinary change of strategy would see them drift away from that candidacy.
Today was delicate and the meeting with Spalletti laid the groundwork for the agreement, confirming it was never really a two-horse race.
Ultimately, what we suggested yesterday afternoon may well prove to be decisive, because he immediately accepted the proposal of a contract until June, with option for automatic renewal for another season in case of Champions League qualification.
Once that hurdle was out of the way, he was always leading the race and just hurtling towards the signature.
Watch as Ademola Lookman scores his first goal since the summer transfer chaos with Atalanta, blasting a ferocious strike into the roof of the AC Milan net.
The Nigeria international and African Player of the Year had tried to force through an exit to Inter, even going AWOL from training for several weeks, but eventually had to return and accept the situation.
It took a while for him to get back into the squad and find his form, but this evening he reminded people what he can do with a fantastic goal to surprise Mike Maignan.
He ran onto the Mario Pasalic assist, took a touch and then smashed the left-foot finish into the roof of the net from a tricky angle.
See how the game unfolds on the Liveblog.
Lookman had not found the back of the net in an Atalanta jersey since May 12 during a 2-1 Serie A win against Roma in Bergamo.
This allowed Atalanta to equalise after Samuele Ricci had given Milan the lead with an effort deflected off Ederson.

Antonio Conte raged against the ‘completely absurd’ treatment of the Napoli injury crisis after they scraped a 1-0 victory away to Lecce with a saved penalty.
The Partenopei were feeling the pressure at the Stadio Via del Mare after failing to win in their last four competitive away fixtures.
It went from bad to worse when Noa Lang limped off with a knock to the thigh just above his left knee, then Lecce were awarded a penalty for Juan Jesus handball.
Vanja Milinkovic-Savic came to the rescue by saving the Francesco Camarda penalty, then Frank Andre Zambo Anguissa nodded in a David Neres free kick for the 1-0 victory.
“These games are never easy, especially after a match like the one with Inter that used up so much energy,” Conte told DAZN Italia.
“We played against a very good team, it is always tough to play here in Lecce. I think we should’ve controlled the final stages better, even if we didn’t run many big risks. Mentality is first and foremost.
“It was a very good first half, then this penalty could’ve changed the course of the game, but our goalkeeper did well and we went on to deserve the victory.”

Rasmus Hojlund made his return as a substitute after a few weeks out injured, but it is now confirmed that Kevin De Bruyne will be out for three to four months after a high grade lesion to the thigh.
Scott McTominay was rested today, moving Napoli back to the 4-3-3 formation that had seen them win the Scudetto last season.
“People forget that we are having to make do. People talk about these big reinforcements, now some even try to suggest we are benefiting from the injuries to Lukaku and De Bruyne. It’s completely absurd,” raged Conte.
“All we’ve got in goal now is Milinkovic-Savic, but some over the summer were asking why we had invested so much in a quality goalkeeper.”
Anguissa scored the goal today, but then had a bit of an odd exchange with Conte in the final minutes when urging the coach to ‘calm down’ after a particularly loud scream in his direction.
“I honestly didn’t see it, but in these moments you need guts, not calm. I am very happy for Frank, if he’s constantly switched on then there are few players like him, but he still needs to improve his finishing. We need to score goals from everyone, it doesn’t matter if they are strikers, midfielders or defenders.”
Lang limped off within 60 seconds of the restart, so why was that problem not identified during half-time to avoid wasting a substitution slot?
“Lang had two knocks in the same spot, so I think his muscle hardened. It is not a serious problem. I am glad for him too, having his first start, as we need everyone in this difficult moment. The important thing is that we never lack the right spirit,” concluded Conte.
This means that Napoli will go into the weekend top of the table, potentially alone if Roma drop points at home to Parma tomorrow evening.
Aaron Martin has lost some of the visibility he previously had in recent matches, despite an undeniably high level of performance.
Many have linked this situation to his contract expiring in June.
Genoa want to resolve the matter as soon as possible, in order to avoid the risk of losing the 1997-born left-back on a free transfer.
As we reported back on June 10, Martin’s profile is greatly appreciated by Lazio, and there have already been inquiries to understand the position of the Spanish specialist.
At the moment Lazio cannot make moves in the market, but in the future several issues will need to be defined (starting with Tavares), and the club will continue to monitor Martin. In the meantime, Genoa will continue to push for a renewal, as we have now entered an increasingly delicate phase.
The 28-year-old signed for Genoa in 2023 from Bundesliga outfit Mainz and has since made close to 70 appearances for the club in all competitions.
Atalanta director Luca Percassi will not be drawn on the row between coach Ivan Juric and goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi, as they prepare to face AC Milan. ‘This is the start of a new era.’
It kicks off at the New Balance Arena in Bergamo at 19.45 GMT.
La Dea are the only side in Serie A still to taste defeat so far this season, but it has not necessarily translated into success, because they managed just two victories in eight rounds.
That includes a run of four consecutive stalemates, having wasted numerous scoring opportunities.
There was tension when coach Juric reacted angrily to goalkeeper Carnesecchi commenting that Atalanta would ‘get nowhere’ with their current form, so how does the club mediate?
“I am very fond of both, so I’ll just limit myself to saying we need to keep working one day at a time,” Percassi told DAZN Italia.
“This is the start of a new era, it takes patience and belief to get stronger every day, then we’ll see where we end up, but we’re not even halfway through the season yet.”
Some time to adapt is inevitable after nine years under the guidance of coach Gian Piero Gasperini, who left for a new challenge with Roma.
Atalanta have created numerous scoring opportunities during these eight rounds so far, but struggled to finish them off with goals.
“Considering the chances that we created, I think we deserved more points, but I couldn’t say how many,” added Percassi.
“We will keep working and the team will be able to express itself better with time. Tonight is a big game against a very strong Milan side who have a great coach in Max Allegri. It’s going to be an exciting match.”
Juventus are moving closer towards the appointment of Luciano Spalletti as head coach, with reports from Italy claiming an official announcement and presentation could be made as early as Thursday.
According to Sky Sport, Spalletti has nearly reached an agreement to take over the Bianconeri, shortly after Igor Tudor was sacked yesterday after a poor run of results.
After a strong start to the campaign, the Old Lady have struggled and a winless, scoreless run sped up Tudor’s exit from the club.
It will be Spalletti’s first club job since 2023, when he left Napoli after two years in charge.
For the following two years, the Italian would lead the Azzurri, taking over the Italian national team after the surprise resignation of Roberto Mancini.
In June, following a 3-0 loss to Norway, Spalletti was sacked by the Azzurri and led his final match in charge against Moldova.
AC Milan director of sport Igli Tare warns they ‘had not planned’ for six simultaneous injuries, but reassures Santiago Gimenez during his goal drought ahead of tonight’s trip to Atalanta.
It kicks off at the New Balance Arena in Bergamo at 19.45 GMT.
The Rossoneri fumbled the leadership of Serie A with a disappointing 2-2 home draw against newly-promoted Pisa on Friday, a result they snatched thanks to a last-gasp equaliser.
“We started this new project with great enthusiasm, the fans are behind us and we are going through a positive spell, so must try to find some consistency in this moment,” Tare told DAZN Italia.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek returns to the bench, but Christian Pulisic, Adrien Rabiot, Pervis Estupinan and Ardon Jashari are still out of action.
With the squad stretched thin, but no European competition to worry about, are Milan planning on investing in the January transfer window?
“We had not planned for six players to get injured during the break for international duty, that doesn’t happen every day,” replied the director of sport.
“When these moments happen, we must be aware that we have a strong squad, which the lads proved on the field. We’ve got to keep going until the start of December, then evaluate with the coach for the future.”
Santiago Gimenez starts this evening, but he had been on the market in the summer with links to Roma and has been going through a lengthy goal drought.
“He needs to relax, this is part of the journey for all strikers. I know full well, I played in the same role,” said the former Lazio centre-forward.
“Everyone has faith in him, the club, the coach, but above all his teammates, and tonight is an opportunity to prove himself a great striker.
“Gimenez has always scored lots of goals in his career, so this is just a bad spell, but at the same time he works so hard for the team and this is why the coach keeps faith in him.”
Napoli defeated Lecce 1-0 this evening, in a fine margin that Antonio Conte would have liked to see larger. Whilst Vanja Milinkovic-Savic pulled off a strong save to deny Francesco Camarda from the penalty spot, Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa continues his run of good form with a winning goal and is Football Italia’s Man of the Match.
Lecce: Falcone 6; Veiga 6, Gaspar 6, Gabriel 7, Gallo 6; Coulibaly 6 (Maleh N/A), Ramadani 6, Berisha 6 (Pierret N/A); Pierotti 5.5 (Morente 6), Camarda 5 (Stulic 6), Banda 6.5 (N’Dri 5.5)
Best Lecce player: Gabriel – The Portuguese defender put in a solid shift in defence for Lecce today, constantly causing Napoli’s attack difficulties. Deserved a clean sheet for his performance but the 20-year-old continues to impress.
Lowest Lecce rating: Camarda – The 17-year-old has been a breakthrough star so far this season for Lecce but unfortunately had an evening to forget against an experienced Napoli tonight. The youngster had the opportunity to give his side the lead from the penalty spot but his effort was saved by Partenopei keeper Milinkovic-Savic.
Coach: Di Francesco 6.5 – Set up his team well this evening but was unfortunate not to get a result. If it were not for Milinkovic-Savic’s penalty save, the coach could have come away with at least a point but he should not be too disheartened about his efforts tonight.
Napoli: Milinkovic-Savic 7; Di Lorenzo 6, Buongiorno 6, Juan Jesus 5, Olivera 6 (Spinazzola 6.5); Zambo Anguissa 7.5, Gilmour 6.5, Elmas 5.5 (Gutierrez N/A); Politano 5.5 (McTominay 6), Lucca 5.5 (Hojlund 5.5), Lang 6.5 (Neres 6.5)
Best Napoli player: Anguissa – Although Milinkovic-Savic deserves plaudits for a strong penalty save, Anguissa has once again continued his run of good form with a decisive goal to give his team all three points. Looked confident all evening, despite the absence of McTominay and De Bruyne in the starting lineup.
Lowest Napoli rating: Lucca – The towering target man was once again ineffectual before being substituted around the hour mark. Hojlund’s return from injury marks another setback for the Italian striker.
Coach: Conte 6 – Coped well against a plucky Lecce but can consider himself lucky to come away with all three points.
Napoli scraped a victory away to Lecce thanks to another Andre Frank Zambo Anguissa goal, but also Vanja Milinkovic-Savic saving the Francesco Camarda penalty.
The Partenopei were back on top of the table after the dramatic 3-1 win over Inter, but it came at a cost, as Kevin De Bruyne will be out for several months with a serious thigh strain. Stanislav Lobotka, Alex Meret and Romelu Lukaku were also still on the treatment table, but Rasmus Hojlund and Amir Rrahmani were back on the bench. The 4-3-3 formation returned, with Scott McTominay and Leonardo Spinazzola rested. Lecce missed Riccardo Sottil, Matias Perez, Gaby Jean and Filip Marchwinski after the 3-2 defeat to Udinese.
See how it all unfolded on the Liveblog.
Napoli wore their special edition Halloween kit and Billy Gilmour saw his snapshot deflected wide, but Lorenzo Lucca accidentally charged down a Matteo Politano strike that was on target.
The hosts also threatened with Medon Berisha drilling wide from the edge of the area, while Politano turned over from six yards on the Matias Olivera pull-back.
Wladimiro Falcone made a huge save using his legs at the near post to deny Olivera, who had been sent clear by a smart Gilmour first-touch lay-off.
Francesco Camarda’s chest and half-volley was inches wide on the stroke of half-time, but wouldn’t have counted over handball.
Noa Lang hobbled off with a knock to the thigh just above the left knee moments after the restart, adding to the growing list of Napoli absentees.
There was a double chance to open the scoring when Lucca ran onto a long ball that Falcone rushed out to nod clear, then Politano’s follow-up was charged down with the goalkeeper off his line.
Kialonda Gaspar’s header on a corner seemed to strike the hand of Juan Jesus, which bent back on impact, so the Lecce penalty was awarded following a VAR review. Camarda stepped up, but Vanja Milinkovic-Savic confirmed his status as a specialist by parrying the spot-kick, meaning he has saved five of the last nine Serie A penalties faced.
Hojlund made his comeback from injury, with McTominay and Leonardo Spinazzola strengthening the squad from the bench for the final half-hour.
It paid off, as Napoli took the lead when a David Neres free kick was glanced into the far top corner off the head of Anguissa from six yards.
Elmas blasted wide and Nikola Stulic was too sluggish to make the most of a Danilo Veiga pull-back, while in stoppages Hojlund failed to meet the Neres assist.

Napoli faced another injury blow this evening in their match against Lecce, with Noa Lang having to come off just after the start of the second half.
After a foul from Danilo Veiga in the first half, Lang appeared to suffer a bruise just above his left knee. The Dutchman attempted to play on and started the second half but only lasted a minute before signalling to the bench he needed to come off.
Lang was replaced by David Neres, you can follow all the action as it happens on our Live Blog.
It was not all bad news for the Partenopei, however, with Danish forward Rasmus Hojlund making his return from injury.
The forward, on loan from Manchester United with an obligation-to-buy, was brought on for struggling summer signing Lorenzo Lucca just after the hour mark.
It marks Hojlund’s first appearance since before the international break, when he scored in a 2-1 win over Genoa. In fact, the striker was on a run of six goals in four games for club and country before the injury forced a setback.
West Ham United midfielder Guido Rodriguez has been linked with a move away from the club in recent months.
He is all set to leave the club during the January transfer window. According to a report from Mexican outlet TV Azteca, the player could be heading to Club America in January.
He has played for the club in the past, and they were keen on securing his signature earlier this year as well.
Rodriguez joined West Ham United last summer, and he has not been a regular starter for them this season. The Argentina international needs to move on in search of regular playing time, and returning to his former club could be ideal.
However, he is earning €4.5 million per season at the London club, and Club America will not be able to afford that. Rodriguez will have to accept a major pay cut to secure a return to the Mexican club. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
He needs to play regularly at this stage of his career, and leaving the London club would be ideal for him. Sitting on the bench at West Ham is unlikely to benefit him.
It is clear that Nuno Espirito Santo is not too keen on him. He is unlikely to get more opportunities until the end of the season. It would be ideal for him to seek an exit in January.
West Ham are unlikely to stand in his way either. He is not a player for them, and they will look to get his wages off their books.
It will be interesting to see if Club America come forward with an offer to get the deal done. He will be a free agent in the summer, but West Ham have an option to extend his deal for another year.

Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta has been linked with a move away from the club in recent months.
He was linked with an exit during the summer transfer window, but the Eagles managed to hold on. Mateta is the best striker at the club, and they will not want to lose him easily. However, he is nearing the end of his contract, and Crystal Palace will be under pressure to cash in on him if he refuses to sign an extension with them.
He will be a free agent in the summer of 2027. It will be interesting to see if the French International is willing to commit his long-term future to the club.
According to former Premier League scout Mick Brown, Crystal Palace could look to sell the player at the end of this season if he refuses to sign a new deal with them. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.
“There is a possibility Mateta could leave in the summer,” Mick Brown told Football Insider.
“If it starts becoming clear that he’s not going to sign, they want to maximise the fee they’re going to get.
“So in the summer, I’m sure if he hasn’t signed a contract, Palace will be tempted by offers for him.
“Given his importance to the team, they could well be huge offers, and there are a number of clubs who need a striker and will be willing to pay big money to get one.
“Obviously, Palace don’t want to lose him, but they could end up in a situation where they have to.”
Crystal Palace have shown improvement in recent months, and they have won the FA Cup and the Community Shield recently. They will look to build on it and establish a team that is capable of securing European football fairly regularly.
They need to keep their best players for that to happen. They should do everything in their power to convince Mateta to sign an extension with them.
Palace are set to lose Marc Guéhi as well. He will be a free agent at the end of the season.
The post Insider claims “there is a possibility” Crystal Palace star could leave along with Guehi appeared first on CaughtOffside.
Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, and Fabio Paratici could be leading the pursuit.
The 25-year-old Serbian has been linked with the move away from the Italian club, and they are prepared to sell him in January. According to TBR Football, he will be available for a fee of £20 million. Tottenham have the resources to pay up, and it remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done.
Other clubs are interested in signing the Serbian international attacker as well, but they are hoping to sign him on loan. On the other hand, Tottenham are prepared to offer a permanent deal in January. That has given them an advantage in the transfer race. Juventus are hoping to get rid of the player permanently.
Spurs could use more quality and depth in the attacking unit, and the Serbian would be the ideal acquisition. He has proven himself in Italy over the years, and he has the physicality for English football as well. He could compete with Dominic Solanke for the starting spot. The England International has not been able to find the back of the net regularly, and more competition for places would be ideal.
If Tottenham manage to get the best out of the 25-year-old striker, he could be an asset for them. He has the technical attributes for English football, and he could add a new dimension to the Tottenham attack. His ability to hold up the play and bring others into the game could prove to be invaluable. Vlahovic has six goals to his name this season.
It will be interesting to see if Spurs follow up on their interest with an official proposal. The reported asking price is quite reasonable for a player of his quality, and he could easily justify the investment in future.

Chelsea and Liverpool continue to be linked with defenders, and the latest name on their radar is Dayot Upamecano.
The 27-year-old French international has performed well for Bayern Munich, and both clubs are interested in securing Upamecano’s signature. It will be interesting to see if they come forward with an offer in the coming months.
Graeme Bailey claimed on TBR: “In England we are thinking and talking about Marc Guehi, but in Europe the name many are talking about is French star Dayot Upamecano – who has really been looking the part at Bayern Munich under Vincent Kompany.
“Speaking to sources at a couple of Premier League clubs, they actually believe Upamecano is more likely to stay than leave, but I can tell you Bayern are really worried that Upamecano will have offers presented to him in early 2026 if an agreement with Bayern is not reached.
“And Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City are all very much in the mix for him, they all rate him highly.”
Chelsea have looked vulnerable defensively, and they need more depth in that area of the pitch. Most of their defenders are struggling with injury problems. The 27-year-old will add more quality and depth to their squad.
He has done quite well for the German champions, and he has the qualities to succeed in the Premier League as well. He has been linked with the move to England in the past, and it remains to be seen whether a move materialises in the coming months.
On the other hand, Liverpool need more depth defensively as well. They have looked quite poor at the back this season. They need to improve in that area of the pitch. Upamecano could be the ideal long-term replacement for his compatriot, Ibrahima Konate. Konate will be out of contract at the end of the season, and Liverpool need to fill the void left by him.
The 27-year-old is at the peak of his career, and this is the right time for him to take on a new challenge. The move to England could be ideal. He has won the league in Germany, and he may now seek a new challenge.
Chelsea and Liverpool are among the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them can be hard to turn down for Upamecano.

Tottenham are looking to improve their attacking unit with the signing of Samu Aghehowa from Porto.
The 21-year-old has been in fine form for this season, scoring 11 goals in all competitions. Tottenham are keen on securing his signature, and they are now accelerating their efforts to get the deal done. The player has a £88 million release clause in his contract, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham are willing to pay up.
As per Fichajes, they are not the only club keen on the attacker, and they will face competition from bitter rivals Arsenal.
It remains to be seen whether Porto sanctions his departure in the middle of the season. He is a key player for them, and his departure in January would be a devastating blow for the Portuguese outfit.
The Spanish attacker is highly rated across Europe, and he has a bright future. He has all the attributes to succeed in the Premier League, and Aghehowa could be a key player for Tottenham. Dominic Solanke has not been able to score goals consistently, and Richarlison has been quite mediocre since joining the club as well.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are keen on the striker as well. They have recently signed Viktor Gyokeres. They could certainly use two quality strikers, and the Spaniard could compete with the Swedish international for the starting spot. The competition for places will help both players improve.
Arsenal will be hoping to win the league title and the UEFA Champions League. They need multiple quality players at their disposal. Another striker would be ideal.
The 21-year-old will be attracted to the idea of moving to the Premier League. It would be a step up in his career, and regular football in England could help him improve further.

Barcelona have reportedly made an opening offer for Crystal Palace’s Colombian international right-back, Daniel Munoz.
That is according to Spanish outlet Fichajes, which claims that the Spanish giants have made a £26m offer for the 29-year-old.
The bid signifies an aggressive move by the Catalan giants to secure a natural, proven presence on the right flank, a position that new coach Hansi Flick has reportedly made a priority for reinforcement.
There are others interested in the player as well with La Liga heavyweights Atletico Madrid also keen on Munoz but Deco is said to be speeding up his pursuit in order to land the player before competition arrives.
Crystal Palace, however, are not willing to sell the player unless they receive a ‘concrete offer. The Colombian is contracted to the Eagles until 2028, giving the Premier League side control over his future.
Marc Guehi’s dream move to Liverpool was blocked by Crystal Palace on deadline day, with the club insisting he see out the remainder of his contract.
Despite the transfer setback, the England international has maintained his high standards, continuing to play a vital role at the heart of Palace’s defence.
Manager Oliver Glasner has since confirmed that Guehi will leave the club at the end of the season, with no plans to extend his current deal.
Interest in the defender remains strong. Liverpool are expected to reignite their pursuit, but they face fierce competition from European giants Barcelona and Real Madrid, both of whom have been closely monitoring his situation.
Crystal Palace are bracing for a potentially transformative summer, with the prospect of losing two of their key defenders in Guehi and Munoz.
Both players have been instrumental in Glasner’s setup, and their departures could leave significant gaps in both leadership and tactical structure.
The combined exit of the two players would strip the Eagles of much of their established backline leadership and quality, forcing the club into an extensive and expensive rebuild of its defence.

Manchester United are interested in signing the Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jobe Bellingham.
The 20-year-old is highly rated across Europe, and he is expected to develop into a top-class player. He has not had the best of spells at the German club, and he has struggled for regular opportunities. Naturally, he is being linked with the return to England.
There have been rumours of a loan move for Bellingham as well.
According to Fichajes, Manchester United view him as a priority target, and they are preparing a €50 million offer to sign him. It will be interesting to see if the German club is willing to sell the player in January.
There is no doubt that Bellingham is a promising young player with a bright future. He has been described as the ‘full package’ in the past. He will add creativity, control, drive and goals to the Manchester United midfield. They are looking to build a formidable squad for the future, and signing a promising young talent like him would be a wise decision.
Bellingham has been likened to Frank Lampard.
The midfielder will be desperate for regular football as well. If Manchester United can provide him with the necessary assurance, he is likely to be tempted to join them. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they could provide him with a platform to showcase his qualities in the Premier League.
Regular football in England could accelerate his development and help bring out the best in him. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. There have been tensions between the player’s camp and the German club in recent weeks. Dortmund could be tempted to cash in if there is a lucrative proposal on the table.
Manchester United have shown improvement in recent weeks, and they will look to build on that with quality signings in January.

Chelsea and Liverpool are interested in signing the Bayern Munich defender Kim Min-jae.
The 28-year-old has done quite well for the German club, and he helped them with the league title last season. He could prove to be a useful acquisition for both Premier League clubs. As per Fichajes, Tottenham are keen on Min-jae as well.
Chelsea have had multiple injury problems at the back this season, and they need depth in that area of the pitch. The 28-year-old South Korean could prove to be a useful acquisition. He has shown his ability in Italy and Germany. He knows what it takes to play for big clubs, and he could make an instant impact at Chelsea. He has the physicality and technical attributes for Premier League football as well.
On the other hand, Liverpool are keen on the player as well. They need to replace Ibrahima Konate, who will be a free agent at the end of the season. It remains to be seen whether they want 28 year 28-year-old Bundesliga star as his replacement.
The German club paid around €50 million to sign the defender. It will be interesting to see if they are prepared to sell him for a reasonable amount of money. He has been an important player for them, and Joshua Kimmich has described him as “outstanding” in the past.
Chelsea and Liverpool need to tighten up at the back if they want to win major trophies. The 28-year-old could help them improve in that department. It remains to be seen whether the two clubs follow up on their interest with an official proposal in the coming weeks.
The defender is at the peak of his career, and he will look to hit the ground running in the Premier League. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.

Windows Server 2025 is currently open to a Remote Code Execution exploit via the Windows Update Service, and at the time of this writing a fix from Microsoft has yet to fully patch the issue. Reports to The Register indicate that Microsoft's attempt to patch the exploit earlier this month didn't stop any active exploitation, contrary to Microsoft's
The mobile tech world never stands still. New phones featuring Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 flagship processor are just hitting the market. However, rumors about its successor, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, are already circulating. The next-gen SoC is expected to officially debut in late 2026, so there’s still a long way to go. However, early reports about the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chip hint at major performance improvements, including support for the LPDDR6 RAM and UFS 5.0 memory and storage standards.
Artificial intelligence has taken over multiple segments of the tech industry. The smartphone segment is no exception. The heavy implementation of AI by companies like Google and Samsung makes this abundantly clear. Well, the “Elite Gen 6” chip will be better prepared than ever for these tasks.
To handle the increasingly complex AI workloads, future silicon requires massive boosts in data speed. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chip tackles this directly by reportedly introducing support for two critical, high-speed standards: LPDDR6 RAM and UFS 5.0 storage. These upgrades will dramatically increase how fast the chip can access and write data.
Perhaps the most compelling (and controversial) rumor centers on the manufacturing process. According to the source (tech tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo), the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chip will mark Qualcomm’s transition to the next-generation 2nm node from TSMC. Qualcomm reportedly plans to use TSMC’s more advanced N2P process. This next-level 2nm variant theoretically offers huge gains. It promises up to 18% better performance or a substantial 36% reduction in power consumption compared to the previous 3nm node.
However, it’s noteworthy that other voices in the industry express doubt about this timeline. They argue that due to TSMC’s expected production ramp-up, Qualcomm, along with other large customers, will only secure the initial N2 2nm process for a 2026 launch.
Skipping an entire lithography step seems ambitious. The simple shift to 2nm nodes guarantees major gains in both power efficiency and raw computational ability, regardless of the exact variant used.
Regardless of the precise manufacturing details, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 looks set to be an exceptional leap forward. The combination of a 2nm design with the far faster LPDDR6 memory and UFS 5.0 storage promises significant improvements across the board. These technological advances, unfortunately, rarely come cheap. Analysts expect the Gen 6 to carry a higher price tag than its predecessor. This will likely translate into more expensive flagship devices for consumers.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 series is already making many headlines. Most conversations are focusing on the expected regional split between the Exynos 2600 and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processors. There is also discussion about the potential performance that the Exynos 2600 chip could offer. However, a newly spotted component suggests a nice upgrade might be hidden in a completely different part of the Samsung Galaxy S26: the Bluetooth and overall connectivity experience.
New leaks indicate the Galaxy S26 lineup could debut with a dedicated companion chip for connectivity. This approach mirrors steps taken by other industry giants toward greater hardware independence.
A fresh listing on the Bluetooth qualified products website reveals a new Samsung chipset: the Exynos S6568. Described as a Bluetooth and Wi-Fi companion chip, the S6568 aims to work alongside a main Exynos SoC. This move suggests Samsung is ready to offload crucial connectivity duties from its flagship processor.
The core technical headline is its support for Bluetooth 6.1. Announced earlier this year, Bluetooth 6.1 is the newest standard, promising better security features and noticeably improved power efficiency compared to its predecessor. Currently, no mass-market devices use this latest specification. So, the Galaxy S26 could be one of the first.
Why would Samsung introduce a separate chip for features like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth? The prevailing theory among tech analysts is that by dedicating the Exynos S6568 to these tasks, Samsung can significantly improve the performance and power efficiency of the main processor (the Exynos 2600).
This architectural approach allows the primary chip to focus solely on high-demand tasks. Think about running applications and processing complex graphics. The result should be a potential gain in battery life for the S26, faster performance during heavy use, and better thermal management. In the end, the phone should run cooler when you need it most.
The rumored S6568 certification coincides with other reports suggesting the Galaxy S26’s development schedule is changing. The launch, traditionally held in January, is now rumored to be pushed back to March 2026. This delay reportedly stems from an internal strategy reevaluation that involved shuffling the model lineup. The move would also imply the delay of the One UI 8.5 update to eligible Galaxy devices.
The primary battle between the Exynos 2600 and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 will still define the S26 experience in many regions. However, the integration of the Exynos S6568 points to Samsung also prioritizing other core aspects of the user experience. Making the phone run cooler and last longer, all while offering the newest connectivity standard, sounds like a great move.

Google Chrome is generally thought of as a pretty safe browser to use, but that doesn’t make it an impenetrable fortress, and a Chrome exploit used to distribute malware is the latest proof of that. A zero-day is an exploit that, once discovered, is immediately used to attack an entity or other users. This gives the company that makes the software that contains the exploit zero days to prepare for its malicious use. Instead, they’re forced to work on patching the previously unknown vulnerability after the fact.
According to a report from Bleeping Computer, a zero-day was recently used to target a variety of entities by distributing malware. Reported targets include Russian media outlets, educational institutions, and financial institutions. The malware, known as ‘Dante,’ is said to be a piece of commercial spyware. It was also reportedly created by Memento Labs, an Italian company formerly known as Hacker Team.
Dante was initially discovered back in March of this year, as malware used as part of an attack called Operation ForumTroll that targeted Russian organizations. However, it wasn’t until recently that Kaspersky shared more intricate details of the malware and its inner workings.
As noted by Kaspersky, the initial point of infection from this malware occurred when users clicked a link in a phishing email. Once at the malicious website, the victims were “verified” and then the exploit was executed.
According to reports, these phishing emails were sending out invites to Russian organizations to attend the Primakov Readings forum.
Kaspersky further details that the Dante software, as well as other tools used in Operation ForumTroll, were developed by Memento Labs, linking the company to these attacks in some form. It’s worth noting that this company isn’t 100% confirmed to be behind the attacks. As noted by Bleeping Computer, there is a possibility that someone else was behind the zero-day attack and distribution of the malware.

Xbox has a new rival in town, and you might be surprised to know that it’s TikTok, as well as movies, that keep the Head of Xbox Game Studios up at night. Not PlayStation, not Nintendo. A social media application available on Android and iOS, and those motion picture films that you used to flock to theaters to see, but can now more easily than ever before watch from the comfort of your own couch.
It’s likely strange hearing that a video game company isn’t considering other video game companies its competitors anymore. That’s understandable. Xbox targeting TikTok and movies as its new rivals probably feels entirely random. As random as it might feel, if PlayStation were to stop competing with other video game companies and start targeting fast food chains. On a surface level, it doesn’t make any sense. But if you dig a little deeper, you can start to see the direction that Xbox is probably taking, in addition to the reason it’s taking it.
To be clear, this has always been the case. Video games are a form of entertainment, and as long as they’ve been around, they’ve had to compete for your time with any other form of entertainment. So, that’s not an entirely new aspect of things. However, things have changed quite a bit. Now more than ever, entertainment through mediums like movies and TikTok is commanding the time of everyone, from teenagers to full-blown adults.
TikTok consumption is on such a massive scale that it wouldn’t be surprising to learn if some users were avoiding all other forms of entertainment to scroll through new clips. There likely are some users out there who are like this. Microsoft and its Xbox team appear to think so, and this is likely a big reason why it considers TikTok one of its new main rivals.
This is just speculation, of course, but it’s the most reasonable assumption that can be made. TikTok, movies, and streaming video make up a huge chunk of media consumption these days. Naturally, Xbox wants users to spend time playing games as opposed to watching videos. So, it’s setting its sights on those types of services.
The days of Xbox being the third console behemoth in the market are long gone. This console platform of the early 2000s and 2010s has transformed into something entirely different. It’s not dead per se, but it’s certainly dead in the sense that the Xbox that fans have loved for two decades isn’t the same. Not only is Microsoft now targeting social media apps as its new rival, but its Xbox consoles won’t be traditional consoles anymore. The next Xbox will reportedly be a Windows gaming PC with an Xbox UI layer on top. It’s a new age for Xbox. For better or worse, this is the path Microsoft has chosen to take.

Rumors of the next-gen Xbox console powered by Windows, making it a full-fledged gaming PC, began floating to the surface of the news cycle earlier this month. Now, it seems that those rumors actually have weight to them. So much weight that the rumors are reportedly true.
When the rumors first popped up, we said it sounded like the next console would just be an expensive gaming PC. That’s exactly what Microsoft is going for, according to Windows Central. (It is worth noting that this report is based on “trusted sources within Microsoft.” So, Microsoft itself has not publicly announced these details). This probably comes as no surprise to some. The ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X and ROG Xbox Ally launched on October 16, and both feature a new software experience. It’s called the Xbox Fullscreen Experience, and it’s designed to be more of a console-like user interface than Windows 11.
One of the main complaints that Windows 11 handhelds have had so far is that they don’t feel like handheld consoles, which is essentially what they are. The Xbox Fullscreen Experience takes steps to address that issue. In most ways, it does a fine job at this. All your games are accessible right from one place. This includes games across clients like the Xbox app, Steam, Ubisoft Connect, and more. The next Xbox console is following in these footsteps.
The important bit here for console fans is that the new Xbox will have a console-style UI. Similar to, or perhaps exactly like, the Xbox Fullscreen Experience for the ROG Xbox Ally X and ROG Xbox Ally. The console experience will be layered on top of Windows, just like those handhelds. It will also boot into this experience as soon as you power it on, as opposed to booting into Windows first.
There is a major difference, though. As Windows Central reports, those who prefer this console UI can stay within it indefinitely. With no requirement to ever leave it. That means updates, game installs, etc., will all be doable from this experience. For comparison, with the ROG Xbox Ally X, if you want to update anything, it all has to be done from the Windows side of things. It’s not a great experience, all things considered. The next console is reportedly not going to have this problem. That’s a big step in the right direction if you want a console to be a console.
That being said, gamers will have the option to move to the Windows layout if they want to play games from other clients, such as Steam, or play Windows games that run in their own client and aren’t available on Xbox.
It’s still unclear what the price is going to be. However, Xbox President Sarah Bond did confirm that the next-gen Xbox will be a “very premium, very high-end, curated experience.” So, chances are the next Xbox won’t be as affordable as some people are hoping.
