6 dead in Telangana, India as Cyclone Montha triggers heavy rains and flooding

At least six people lost their lives in separate rain-related incidents after heavy rains battered various parts of Telangana on October 29. The downpour was triggered by the impact of Cyclone Montha, officials from the police and district authorities reported on Friday.

In Siddipet district, a tragic incident occurred when a husband and wife were swept away while attempting to cross an overflowing stream on a two-wheeler. Their bodies were recovered later that day, according to police sources.

In another unfortunate event, a man riding a bike in Suryapet district died when a roadside tree uprooted and fell on him. Additionally, an elderly woman lost her life due to a wall collapse in Mahabubabad district.

Officials also reported the death of a bedridden man in his mid-60s when floodwaters entered his house in Warangal.

Several other incidents have been reported where people went missing after being swept away by floodwaters.

The heavy rains on October 29 caused significant waterlogging on roads and inundation of low-lying areas across multiple locations, including Warangal, Hanamakonda, Mahabubabad, Karimnagar, Khammam, and Bhadradri Kothagudem. Authorities continue to monitor the situation as rescue and relief operations are underway.

‘Terrified’: Jasmine Crockett believes she has Trump on the ropes — and he’s panicking

President Donald Trump’s frequent attacks on Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) reflect his growing fear of the Democratic lawmaker—at least according to Crockett herself. Her clashes with right-wing media and lawmakers have helped propel her onto the national stage.

“I process [attacks from Trump and right-wing media] as they believe that I’m a threat,” Crockett told Politico. “Listen, you’re not talking about anybody who’s not relevant. That’s just the reality. No one is wasting capital on anyone that is not relevant.”

While Trump is known for frequently lashing out at Democratic lawmakers, Crockett has been among the most frequent targets of his attacks. He’s called her a “lowlife,” a “very low-IQ person,” and even compared her unfavorably to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), saying Crockett is “only slightly dumber.”

For Crockett, however, Trump’s attacks serve as an admission that he views her as a growing threat—one he tries to “thwart before they rise too much.”

“I think that personally they are threatened. When you look at AOC, AOC is the highest-fundraising member in the U.S. House, period. Above Democrats, Republicans, that is number one,” Crockett explained. “When you look at the crowds that she garners when she goes out, that’s a scary thing for him, right? And a lot of the people that I believe that he wants to appeal to, AOC is one of the few people that can actually break through. I would argue that as much as I go against him, I would imagine that I get some of those folk too.”

Crockett hasn’t held back in returning jabs at Trump. After being called a “low IQ person,” she responded by noting, “You sure [do] have my name in your mouth a lot,” adding that his attacks are proof he is “terrified of smart, bold Black women telling the truth and holding you accountable.”

Joshua Dunlap deserves confirmation to US Court of Appeals | Letter

In nominating Maine native Joshua Dunlap for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, Sen. Susan Collins has made an outstanding choice. As Josh’s former law partner, I know first-hand of his superb qualifications: his intelligence, thoughtfulness, humility, and love of the law and the Constitution are exceptional. He will work vigorously for the impartial dispensation of equal justice under the rule of law.

In better times, Josh would receive near-unanimous confirmation. In today’s hyper-partisan climate, however, judicial appointments are sadly exploited for more political skirmishing.

Thankfully, we don’t do it that way in Maine. As former Gov. Angus King knows first-hand, qualified judicial nominees routinely receive bipartisan support, and Maine’s judiciary is the envy of many states where partisanship infects judicial selections.

Sen. King should join Sen. Collins in supporting Josh’s nomination. Washington sorely needs another lesson in why Maine is “the way life should be.”

Oregon child attacked by coyote during game of hide-and-seek in backyard, state officials sound alarm

A 9-year-old child in Oregon was bitten by a coyote while playing hide-and-seek in a Portland neighborhood, prompting state wildlife officials to warn parents to closely supervise children outdoors and to scare off any coyotes that appear.

According to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW), the incident occurred Thursday evening around 6:15 p.m. in Portland’s Alameda neighborhood. Two children, ages 9 and 3, were playing outside when a coyote approached the older child and grabbed their foot. The child, who was wearing socks but no shoes, managed to shake free and run away while the coyote gave chase.

The child’s father shouted from the porch, causing the animal to flee. The 9-year-old was taken to a local hospital and treated for minor injuries.

In response, ODFW staff immediately launched an investigation, canvassed the neighborhood, and posted flyers warning residents. Officials have continued to monitor the area and are working with city, state, and federal partners to determine appropriate next steps.

Residents are urged to supervise young children, keep pets leashed or indoors, remove food attractants such as garbage and pet food, and use loud noises or thrown objects to scare away bold coyotes.

“Under no circumstances should people provide food to coyotes or other predators,” ODFW emphasized. “Feeding by humans is frequently associated with attacks and aggressive behavior.”

Coyotes are common throughout Oregon, including in Portland neighborhoods, and typically feed on rodents, fruit, and nuts.

For more information and safety tips, residents are encouraged to stay informed and cautious when spending time outdoors.

How the pity system works in Duet Night Abyss

**Understanding the Pity System in Duet Night Abyss**

Duet Night Abyss famously dropped the traditional gacha system for characters and weapons, instead offering a system that allows players to farm for whatever they want. However, there *is* still a gacha system in the game—it’s tied exclusively to cosmetics. Many of the fancy skins and unique visual items are hidden behind this cosmetic gacha, so it’s important to understand how the pity system works before you dive in.

### How the Pity System Works

If you want to snag some of the skins in Duet Night Abyss, you’ll need to engage with the cosmetic gacha. The pity system ensures the following:

– **Every 10 pulls (or “Weaves”) guarantees a purple rarity cosmetic item.**
– **Every 90 pulls guarantees 25 Iridescent Prisms**, a currency used to purchase skins.

The rarity tiers in the cosmetic gacha are **Green**, **Purple**, and **Gold**. Iridescent Prisms are associated with the Gold tier. Purple-tier items typically include cosmetic accessories such as glasses, hats, masks, or other character adornments, but not full outfits.

When you do pulls, each set of 10 Weaves guarantees at least one purple-tier cosmetic. If you reach 90 pulls without hitting the Gold tier, you receive 25 Iridescent Prisms automatically. Should you pull a Gold-tier item before reaching 90 pulls, the pity counter resets back to zero.

### Finding and Using Cosmetic Banners

Cosmetic banners can be found in the **Shop** under the **Recommended** tab. Pulls on these banners are referred to as **Weaves** in-game.

There are two types of hourglasses required for pulls:

– **Prismatic Hourglass**: Used for Event Banners.
– **Pristine Hourglass**: Used for Standard Banners.

Make sure to check the **Details** tab on each banner (located near the center bottom of the screen) to review the exact drop rates for the different items.

### Important Notes on the Pity System

– The pity system is unique to each banner. Progress on one banner does *not* carry over to others.
– Some skins are also available for direct purchase in the shop.
– To quickly see if characters have skins available, visit their **Cosmetic** section in the **Armory**. There, you’ll find quick links to the shop page for easy access.

By understanding and utilizing the pity system effectively, you can maximize your chances of obtaining your favorite cosmetics in Duet Night Abyss without frustration. Happy weaving!

Where to get ARC Alloy in ARC Raiders

There are hundreds of materials to find in **ARC Raiders**, and one of the most important, especially early on, is **ARC Alloy**. Not only is it required for a quest, but a lot of the equipment you can craft also requires it. Here’s how you get ARC Alloy.

### How to Get ARC Alloy in ARC Raiders

You can obtain ARC Alloy through several methods:

– **Destroying and searching destroyed ARC enemies**
– **Opening ARC loot containers found in the world**
– **Recycling ARC materials you find**

Of these three, finding the **ARC Courier** and **ARC Probe** loot containers is the easiest, but also risky. Breaching these containers is a long and noisy process, attracting unwanted attention. You’ll know you’re on the right track if you see a plume of smoke rising in the distance.

### ARC Loot Containers

– **ARC Couriers** are squat, rectangular white containers that you can breach from the side.
– **ARC Probes** are oblong cylinders that you breach at one end.

Both containers periodically fly down from the sky during a match, offering opportunities to collect valuable materials—including ARC Alloy.

### Risks of Looting ARC Enemies

Looting the ARC enemies you destroy can be even more dangerous. Engaging in combat generates a lot of noise, which can attract other players and enemies alike. If you prefer a safer approach, your best bet is to loot every container you come across, especially in **Electronics loot locations**.

### Recycling ARC Materials for Alloy

A scarce few items can be recycled into the ARC Alloy you need. Here’s a shortlist of items that recycle into ARC Alloy:

– ARC Circuitry
– ARC Motion Core
– Hornet Driver
– Fireball Burner
– Spotter Relay
– Surveyor Vault
– Wasp Driver

### Final Tips

Remember, sometimes fighting ARC enemies is unavoidable. Once they lock onto you, it can be a hassle to shake them off. While fighting may attract other players, the rewards you gain from defeating ARC enemies can be well worth the risk.

By understanding where and how to find ARC Alloy, you’ll be better equipped to progress through ARC Raiders and craft essential equipment early in your journey. Happy raiding!

Stranger Things 5 trailer: Cast teases “next-level action’ and a “chaotic start” in the final season

The lights are flickering once again in Hawkins. Shadows crawl, memories linger, and the air crackles with the kind of electricity only Netflix’s most beloved world can summon. Netflix invites us back to the Upside Down as the trailer for *Stranger Things* Season 5 drops.

### Stranger Things 5 Trailer: Cast Teases “Next-Level Action” and a “Chaotic Start” in the Final Season

Counting down to the final chapter, the cast, creators, and executive producers of *Stranger Things* set the stage for what’s to come and where we find our characters at the start of the season, as told to Tudum.

Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven) shares,
> “Eleven is in training mode. She’s in a warrior state, which is the first time you see Eleven like that at the beginning of a season. As for her mindset, all she is thinking about is protecting her friends. Her friends are her chosen family, so she will do whatever it takes to protect them and we’re going to see that.”

Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin) adds,
> “Dustin is kind of in a bit of a funk. I think everybody probably is considering the state that Hawkins is in, and it’s getting a little bit harder for the gang to keep all the pieces together. We’re all dealing with the day-to-day issues of what it is to try to keep everybody safe and figure out where Vecna is, while having a lot of unpacked baggage from the events in the previous season.”

Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas) shares,
> “It’s always been in the beginning of a season that everything is all good, but this is the first season we come into it and the stakes are the same as where we left off. We haven’t defeated Vecna and the problem is still there. We’re still trying to figure it out and we may not be able to figure it out, so you feel that burden on Lucas as well as everyone else on the show. Everyone is on edge and we’re all just trying to keep hope alive.”

Noah Schnapp (Will) asserts,
> “Will is back in Hawkins this season. He was out of Hawkins for the last season, so now we’re seeing the effects of him being back in that realm. We kind of hit the ground running right away this season, which is really exciting and not how we’ve started any other season. Everyone is all in one place and we all have the same objective.”

Sadie Sink (Max) explains,
> “We [ended] Season 4 in a tough place for Max. Her final moments were her in a hospital bed. Eleven was searching for her in the void and couldn’t find her, so Max is definitely not the way she once was. There’s still a small glimmer of hope, though, and her friends are hanging on to that.”

Finn Wolfhard (Mike) says,
> “Mike is back in leadership mode, and he’s kind of taken it more upon himself to help plan out these missions, and he and the whole gang are devoted to finding Vecna and ending this.”

Ross Duffer (Co-Creator, Executive Producer, Writer, Director) shares,
> “I think what’s unique about this season is that it starts a little bit in chaos because our heroes ultimately lost at the end of Season 4. We usually set up their normal life and how they’re going about school, and then we introduce the supernatural element. But in this case, this season is sprinting from the start.”

Matt Duffer (Co-Creator, Executive Producer, Writer, Director) adds,
> “They’re not experiencing normal life. Nothing in Hawkins is normal anymore. Their movement is restricted, and there are Big Brother cameras everywhere. So not only are they active, their everyday, normal lives are anything but.”

Shawn Levy (Executive Producer & Director) concludes,
> “The action is next level, the visual effects are next level, but I’m also happy to say that the emotional center remains the same. And part of the magic of this show is that even as we evolve, even as the storytelling becomes more epic, it’s always anchored in these characters that we love.”

Shilpa Shetty’s mother Sunanda Shetty hospitalized; actress visits Lilavati Hospital

Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty was spotted at Mumbai’s Lilavati Hospital on Thursday after her mother, Sunanda Shetty, was admitted owing to age-related health complications.

Shilpa appeared visibly concerned as she entered the hospital to be with her mother, prompting an outpouring of support and prayers from fans and well-wishers across social media.

Sunanda Shetty’s hospitalisation comes shortly after Shilpa withdrew her plea seeking permission to travel abroad due to an ongoing legal case. The Bombay High Court had earlier refused to stay a Look Out Circular (LOC) issued against Shilpa and her husband, Raj Kundra, in connection with an alleged Rs 60-crore cheating case, making travel outside India conditional on payment of the disputed amount.

Just days before the health scare, Shilpa posted cheerful Diwali celebration pictures with her sister Shamita Shetty and Raj Kundra, showcasing a united and festive family in traditional attire.

On the professional front, Shilpa was last seen as a judge on Super Dancer Chapter 5, while Raj Kundra recently appeared as a contestant on the reality show The Traitors.

The family’s public appearances remain in the spotlight as supporters await further updates on Sunanda Shetty’s condition. No official statement has been released by Shilpa Shetty or her family regarding Sunanda Shetty’s health status yet, but public messages continue to pour in for her speedy recovery.
