Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †.

### Exploring the Best Characters for Amphoreus, The Eternal Land
Like every Planar Ornament, Amphoreus, The Eternal Land comes with a powerful set effect that benefits the wearer as well as the entire team.
#### Set Effect Details:
– **2-piece set effect:**
– Increases the wearer’s **CRIT Rate by 8%**.
– While the wearer’s memosprite is on the field, increases **all allies’ SPD by 8%**.
*This SPD buff effect cannot be stacked.*
With the set effect in mind, let’s take a closer look at the characters best suited to utilize Amphoreus, The Eternal Land:
—
### Cyrene
Cyrene stands out as one of the best users of Amphoreus, The Eternal Land. She deals consistent damage while also providing buffs to her allies, making this set an ideal match.
– The extra **CRIT Rate** boosts her damage output.
– The **SPD increase** accelerates her teammates’ actions, allowing for faster turn cycles.
– The SPD buff is especially beneficial for Cyrene to accumulate Ultimate stacks quickly in a full Chrysos Heir team.
– Reaching the **200 SPD breakpoint** makes Cyrene notably more powerful, particularly when summoning her memosprite on wave two.
—
### Hyacine
Hyacine is another strong candidate for this Ornament set in Honkai Star Rail.
– She can swiftly summon **Ica**, her memosprite, making full use of the set’s SPD buff.
– The SPD boost not only benefits the team but also increases the number of turns her summon receives, enhancing overall damage potential.
– The passive **8% CRIT Rate increase** improves Hyacine’s output in combat, even if it’s a modest boost.
– If you prefer a fast-paced team composition with Remembrance supports, Amphoreus, The Eternal Land is the perfect Ornament set to farm for Hyacine.
—
### Remembrance Trailblazer
Remembrance Trailblazer (RMC) is an excellent option to maximize the effects of Amphoreus, The Eternal Land, especially if you lack premium units.
– Similar to Hyacine, RMC can summon their memosprite **Mem** using Skill.
– Since Mem remains on the battlefield for an extended duration, the **SPD buff** benefit applies to all allies, speeding up team actions.
– The additional **CRIT Rate** helps RMC and Mem to deal greater damage with offensive abilities.
– This set transforms RMC into a versatile and reliable DPS/support hybrid in many team setups.
—
For Trailblazers aiming to boost the effectiveness of memosprite-summoning characters, Amphoreus, The Eternal Land is a worthy Ornament set to obtain and build around.

AUSTIN (Nexstar) – On November 4, Texans voted on the fate of 17 constitutional amendments.
Among the propositions passed is Proposition 1, an important amendment that will provide the Texas State Technical College System (TSTC) with a steady stream of funding.
These funds are designated to support the construction of new buildings, the purchase of equipment, and necessary repairs across the college system.
Prop 1 appears poised to pass by a significant margin, ensuring TSTC can continue to expand and improve its facilities to better serve students and communities throughout Texas.

California voters handed Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom a major win on Tuesday evening by approving his partisan gerrymandering proposal to create more Democratic-friendly House seats ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
With 26% of the vote counted, the “yes” campaign was leading the “no” campaign 62.3% to 37.7%, according to the Associated Press.
Newsom, who will be term-limited out of office next year, framed Proposition 50—also known as the “Election Rigging Response Act”—as a stinging rebuke to former President Donald Trump. The ballot measure’s passage likely cements Newsom’s status as an early frontrunner in the Democratic Party’s 2028 presidential primary contest.
The Democratic governor led a months-long push, beginning in August, to redraw the state’s congressional maps following Texas’ decision over the summer to undergo partisan redistricting aimed at gaining as many as five new Republican seats. Trump had urged red states to redraw their maps to benefit Republicans ahead of the midterm elections.
Republicans fiercely opposed the California ballot measure, calling it a partisan power grab that disproportionately impacts conservative and rural areas of the state—regions that could soon be represented by Democrats for the first time in decades.
Democrats vastly outspent Republicans in this special election after recent polling showed the ballot measure was expected to pass. Democrats spent nearly $100 million on advertisements, with help from progressive megadonor George Soros and Netflix chairman Reed Hastings.
Republicans, conversely, poured roughly $40 million into efforts to defeat Newsom’s gerrymandering push. Charles Munger Jr., a prominent Republican donor and heir to a massive Berkshire Hathaway fortune, contributed $30 million alone to the anti-Prop 50 campaign.
Though former Republican California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger spoke out against Proposition 50, he did not actively campaign across the state to defeat the gerrymander. Schwarzenegger had previously supported an independent redistricting commission in 2010, which voters approved.
The ballot measure asks voters whether the state should suspend its independent redistricting commission in order to implement new maps that heavily favor Democrats through 2030.
Currently, Republicans hold just nine out of California’s 52 House seats—approximately 17%. The passage of Prop 50 could reduce the Republican presence to just four districts, or 8% of the state’s total seats.
Republican lawmakers who could face difficult reelection bids due to Prop 50’s passage include Representatives Kevin Kiley, Ken Calvert, and Doug LaMalfa, whose districts will likely become safe Democratic seats. Republican Representative Darrell Issa’s San Diego district will also become more competitive for Democrats, though the wealthy congressman could self-fund a campaign to fend off challengers.
Republican Representative David Valadao’s purple district in the state’s Central Valley is also expected to shift a few shades bluer following Prop 50’s passage.
A majority of public comments submitted to the California State Assembly’s Committee expressed concern. One comment stated, “We have an independent redistricting commission. Why would you take away what we voted for? If you do, I’ll never vote Democratic again.”

Danielle Fishel and Pasha Pashkov have just concluded their journey on *Dancing With the Stars*. The pair became the seventh couple to be eliminated from season 34 of the ABC series during the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-themed episode aired on November 4.
They received the least number of votes for their contemporary dance set to Aerosmith’s iconic song “Dream On,” which earned them a judge’s score of 34. Despite their impressive performance, it wasn’t enough to keep them in the competition.
After their elimination, Danielle shared her heartfelt thoughts about the experience. “It’s meant everything,” the *Boy Meets World* star said. “It has truly been life-changing and every single moment including this one has been joyous.”
Pasha also expressed his sentiments, telling Danielle, “You are now my friend for life.”
Their time on *Dancing With the Stars* may have come to an end, but the bond they formed and the memories they created will last far beyond the dance floor.

Stay tuned for updates and live coverage of the Moutai Singapore Open 2025 as the world’s top golfers compete for the title!

The world’s largest asset manager, BlackRock, is extending its crypto footprint to Australia by introducing a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). This move signals deepening institutional adoption of digital assets and highlights Bitcoin’s growing role in global investment strategies.
BlackRock is bringing its flagship Bitcoin ETF to Australia, aiming to replicate the success of its U.S. counterpart while tapping into a growing appetite for digital assets in the region. The ASX-listed iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) is expected to debut later this month, offering local investors direct exposure to Bitcoin through a regulated and transparent framework.
This launch follows IBIT’s record-setting rise in the United States, where the fund attracted over $98 billion in assets under management within just two years and generated more than $240 million in annual fees. The move marks a major expansion of BlackRock’s crypto strategy and demonstrates strong confidence in Bitcoin’s role as a core institutional asset.
According to Tamara Stats, who oversees institutional client business for BlackRock Australasia, the ETF’s arrival reflects both market maturity and increasing investor demand. “Institutions increasingly view Bitcoin as a complementary asset within diversified portfolios,” she explained, adding that the ETF provides a “familiar and transparent” way to gain exposure to digital assets.
While the Bitcoin ETF is currently drawing the headlines, BlackRock is also broadening its traditional investment offerings in Australia. The firm recently unveiled plans for the iShares Core Global Aggregate Bond ETF (AGGG), which targets investment-grade bonds from governments and corporations worldwide.
This new bond ETF will carry a 0.18% management fee and track the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index (AUD Hedged). Steve Ead, Head of Global Product Solutions at BlackRock Australasia, emphasized that this addition strengthens BlackRock’s commitment to providing “tools that make diversified portfolio construction easier for Australian investors.”
“Our goal is to democratize access whether that’s global bonds or Bitcoin so investors can participate in evolving markets more efficiently,” Ead stated, highlighting the firm’s broader mission beyond simply launching new products.
The timing of BlackRock’s Australian Bitcoin ETF launch coincides with a rapid acceleration in institutional participation in crypto markets. Over the past year, major funds and endowments have entered the Bitcoin market, including Harvard University’s notable $100 million allocation to a U.S.-listed Bitcoin ETF.
Analysts at Deutsche Bank have projected that Bitcoin could eventually be included on central bank balance sheets before the end of the decade—a scenario that was once unthinkable but is now increasingly plausible as ETFs make exposure simpler and more accessible.
BlackRock’s own inflow data further underscores this trend: in the third quarter alone, the company’s iShares ETFs attracted $153 billion, pushing total ETF assets under management to an impressive $5 trillion.
The introduction of IBIT on the Australian Securities Exchange marks a new chapter in how global investors engage with cryptocurrency markets. For BlackRock, this listing reinforces its position at the forefront of integrating digital assets within traditional finance.
The ETF’s net asset value (NAV) currently sits at approximately $60.56, reflecting a 16.74% gain year-to-date despite recent market volatility. With strong demand for Bitcoin exposure and expanding ETF infrastructure, BlackRock’s latest move is poised to open the door for a new wave of institutional participation throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
As the line between crypto and conventional finance continues to blur, BlackRock’s Australian launch underscores a larger truth: Bitcoin is no longer a fringe experiment—it is fast becoming a pillar of the global investment landscape.

No Boston Red Sox outfielder, it seems, has been the subject of more trade speculation this season—and now, in the offseason—than 29-year-old Jarren Duran. The 2024 All-Star Game MVP saw his production level off this season, finishing with a .774 OPS and 16 home runs, down from a .834 OPS and 21 home runs a year earlier.
Defensively, Duran’s nine defensive runs saved (DRS), according to FanGraphs, ranked him 16th among all outfielders. This was a significant drop from his 23 DRS the previous year, which placed him second in MLB. While the decline is noticeable, Duran remains a solid player, making him a logical trade candidate in a Boston outfield already so crowded that it seems at least one player will need to be moved.
However, according to one Red Sox insider, it will not be Duran who gets traded out of Boston after all.
Chris Cotillo, who covers the Red Sox for MassLive, reports that the outfielder most likely to be traded is 25-year-old center fielder Ceddanne Rafaela. Rafaela was just named the American League Gold Glove award winner for center fielders on Monday. Red Sox right fielder Wilyer Abreu also won a Gold Glove—for the second straight year—leaving Duran as the odd man out defensively.
Rafaela’s award was well-deserved. The third-year outfielder from the Caribbean island of Curaçao led all major league center fielders in defensive runs saved with 20, according to FanGraphs. This was five more than Pete Crow-Armstrong of the Chicago Cubs, who finished second.
So why does Cotillo believe that Rafaela, rather than Duran, will be traded?
> “The Red Sox are going to find Duran’s value to be lower than they expect and Rafaela’s to be much higher than expected across the game,” Cotillo wrote on Monday. “Therefore, headlining a trade package with Rafaela most teams won’t balk at the six years and $48 million (plus a club option) he’s guaranteed. It can’t be ruled out.”
Rafaela signed a contract extension before the 2024 season, which, if he is not traded, will keep him at Fenway Park through 2031. In contrast, the Red Sox have committed to Duran for just one more year, avoiding arbitration by signing him Tuesday to a $7.7 million deal.
At the same time, Cotillo also predicted that the Red Sox would sign free-agent designated hitter Kyle Schwarber. Schwarber, an 11-year veteran, led the National League by blasting 56 home runs for the Philadelphia Phillies in 2024.
> “Trading (Rafaela) is not Plan A for the Sox but would allow a (left-to-right) outfield of (Roman) Anthony, Duran (who is better in center than left), and Abreu with someone like Schwarber getting a full load of DH at-bats,” Cotillo wrote.
If Schwarber—which is anticipated to land a deal as long as five years at $150 million, per MLB.com—signs with the Red Sox, it would be a homecoming of sorts. The Chicago Cubs’ 2014 first-round draft pick (fourth overall) ended up in Boston at the 2021 trade deadline and was instrumental in helping the Red Sox reach the playoffs that year. In 168 plate appearances down the stretch for Boston, Schwarber compiled a .957 OPS with seven home runs and 10 doubles.
