India Hit With Big Blow Ahead Of World Cup Semi-Final Against Australia, Star Opener Suffers Nasty Injury

The dead-rubber against Bangladesh has proven rather costly for India as Pratika Rawal suffered a nasty injury just days before their ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025 against Australia at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Thursday (October 26). Rawal was fielding in the outfield, which had seen some major rain over the course of the day. While trying to collect a delivery, Rawal's foot appeared to get stuck on the floor, and she suffered a nasty fall. The star opener was evidently in pain, with her teammates left worried. Rawal struggled to walk and had to take the help of teammates and support staff members to go back to the dressing room. With just four days left for the marquee clash against the defending champions, Rawal's participation is a major doubt, with the injury looking like a serious one on first look. Rawal has been key to India's fortunes in the tournament with 308 runs in six innings, with one century and half-century respectively to her name. She is the second-highest run-getter in the tournament, only behind Smriti Mandhana. Also Read: Navi Mumbai Weather Report: Will India-Australia ICC Women's World Cup 2025 SF Be Hit With Rain? Rawal made her ODI debut last year and has made a strong impression. She became the joint-fastest women's cricketer to score 1000 runs in the 50-over format during her knock of 122 against New Zealand on Thursday (October 23). The 25-year-old has made 976 runs in ODIs in 2025, which is the second-most in history during a calendar year, only behind Mandhana's tally from this year. During this tournament, the Indian vice-captain had broken Belindra Clarke's 27-year-old world record while Rawal also went past the Australian legend's run tally in 1997 of 970 runs. Talking about the match, India won the toss and chose to bowl after a rain delay. The game saw another stoppage and was reduced to a 27-over game. Bangladesh made 119 runs.

ANIGopal Badne Suspended Police Sub-Inspector Gopal Badne, an accused in the Satara woman doctor suicide case, was produced before the Additional District and Sessions Court in Phaltan in Maharashtra on Sunday and remanded to police custody till October 30.The doctor who was found dead in Maharashtra's Satara on Friday, left a note written on her hand that named a police official and two others, officials said.Satara Police arrested two persons, Police Sub-Inspector Gopal Badne and Prashant Bankar, in connection with the case. A case was registered against the accused duo under charges of rape and abetment to suicide. The Police Sub-Inspector Badne named in the note was suspended following this development.His defence counsel, however, opposed the plea during the hearing, arguing that the case against the suspended officer was false and motivated."Today, the accused was produced before the Honourable Court by the investigating agency, and they raised their grounds for police custody. We strongly objected to the police custody before the Honourable Court, as the entire case in which my client, Gopal Badne, has been arrested is false," the defence counsel Advocate Rahul Dhaigude said.Live EventsExplaining the defence's stance, the lawyer added that there were "two angles" to the case."Before the incident of alleged abetment to suicide or other allegations, my client and three other police officers had filed a complaint against the lady victim, which is still under investigation. During that inquiry, her statement was recorded by a government civil surgeon, and she had not made any allegation of rape -- that is one angle," the lawyer stated.He further argued that the circumstances surrounding the woman's death pointed toward a different chain of events."Secondly, because of the suicide she had committed, the place, the spot of the incident is Hotel where she had taken room on a rent and when she lodged in the room, that time she had committed suicide but already she was staying at a home on a rent basis. The accused number two, Prashant Bankar, is the son of that owner of that home and she made allegation also against him that he is continuously harassing her for last four months," the defence cousel said.The defence said that the "proximity of time" and the sequence of events preceding the suicide needed deeper examination."The proximity of time which is important for the suicide that she was staying at their home, she left the house, why she had not returned to the house of the landlord and why she had committed suicide at a lodge. Court granted four days police custody up to October 30." (ANI)Add as a Reliable and Trusted News Source Add Now!

5 Books On Money That’ll Teach You How To Handle Your Finances In Just 24 Hours

Think investing is something you need an MBA for? These books will make you differ. Some of the world’s smartest tech minds, right from Elon Musk to Naval Ravikant, swear by certain books that teach you the mental frameworks of wealth, not just the math. The good news? You don’t need to slog through 500 pages. These five books can actually teach you how to think (and act) like an investor in less than a day. The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel If you read just one book on money, make it this one. Housel doesn’t tell you what stocks to buy, instead he teaches you how emotions, greed, and fear control financial decisions. Each of the 19 short chapters in this book is a mini-lesson in financial wisdom, written so simply you’ll finish it in one sitting and still find yourself quoting it months later. Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki A cult classic that flips everything you think you know about money. Kiyosaki breaks down assets vs. liabilities with stories anyone can understand, without any spreadsheets. Kiyosaki contrasts the money lessons he learned from his “rich dad” (his friend’s father) and his “poor dad” (his own father). It’s the book that makes you see that your job won’t make you rich, but your mindset might. The Almanack of Naval Ravikant by Eric Jorgenson This book is practically the tech world’s money Bible. Based on the thoughts of investor and entrepreneur Naval Ravikant, it distills how to build wealth, happiness, and leverage in the modern world. The format is tweet-sized wisdom, so you can breeze through in hours but the impact lasts for life. I Will Teach You To Be Rich by Ramit Sethi This one’s as practical as it gets. Think of it as a friendly personal finance bootcamp. Sethi walks you through bank accounts, credit cards, investments, and even scripts for negotiating bills. It’s witty, real, and ridiculously easy to follow. Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill While not a technical investment guide, this timeless classic is about the mindset needed to build wealth. Hill interviewed successful people and identified common habits like persistence, goal-setting, and belief in oneself. For beginners, it helps shift focus from fear of investing to cultivating a money-positive mindset.

Вряла вода изригна в центъра на Плевен на фона на кризата

Вряла вода изригна от шахта по главна улица в Плевен и образува локално наводнение. Причината е авария на местната „Топлофикация" на фона на водната криза. От дружеството потвърдиха за локалната авария на бул. "Дойран" в града. Изтичането на гореща вода е спряно, а в понеделник пробивът в тръбата ще бъде ремонтиран, съобщи НОВА. Преди два дни стана ясно, че водният режим в Плевен остава в сила. Това бе съобщено след поредно заседание на Кризисния щаб. ВиК всекидневно публикува на интернет страницата си количествата питейна вода, която постъпва от всички водоизточници. От РЗИ постъпват доклади, ежеседмично се правят анализи на качеството на водата. Тя е годна за питейно-битови нужди. От началото на октомври с два часа повече се подава вода за питейно-битови нужди към градовете Плевен, Долна Митрополия, Тръстеник и към селата Биволаре, Буковлък, Опанец, Победа и Ясен. Водоснабдяването на посочените населени места е възстановявано от 18:00 часа до 22:00 часа и от до 6:00 часа до 10:00 часа всеки ден.

Anthony Hopkins says he chastised younger co-star who ‘thought he was James Dean’: ‘Never heard of him since’

Oscar-winning actor Anthony Hopkins has recalled criticising a younger co-star for acting like James Dean. The 87-year-old acting icon, best known for his role as Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs (1991), cites legends such as Laurence Olivier and Katharine Hepburn as influences on his career. Meanwhile, Hopkins has worked with numerous modern-day superstars, from Brad Pitt to Nicole Kidman and Ryan Gosling, telling The New York Times’s Interview podcast that he has “nothing but praise for” them. However, Hopkins had less kind words to say about an unnamed actor from Canada, whom he attempted to advise on set. “I was working with a young actor a few years ago, a young Canadian actor who looked a bit like James Dean. I think he thought he was James Dean,” said the Elephant Man star. “We were doing a scene together and I said: ‘I can’t hear a word you’re saying. Why are you mumbling?’” he added. “I didn’t want to spoil his day, but I said: ‘If you do that, they will go to the pub next door, because you’re supposed to tell us the story. Speak up. Be clear. Wandering on like a backstreet Marlon Brando is not going to help you at all in your career.’” “Never heard of him since,” Hopkins casually remarked in the interview. Last year, Hopkins told the Associated Press that he believes acting is much “easier” for him now. “As you get older, you have a little more knowledge of life. When you’re young, you think you know a thing or two, but you don’t. When you get to my age, you know a couple of tricks for a living,” he said. His “tricks” to acting are simple: “Just learn the lines, show up and try to be real.” Elsewhere in his interview with The New York Times, Hopkins opened up about his struggle with alcoholism. The actor has now been sober for nearly 50 years. “I was drunk and driving my car here in California in a blackout, no clue where I was going, when I realised that I could have killed somebody – or myself, which I didn’t care about,” he said. “I came to my senses and said to an ex-agent of mine at this party in Beverly Hills, ‘I need help.’” The star of The Father said he then had a “spooky” moment where he heard a “vocal, male, reasonable, like a radio voice” speak to him and he instantly lost his desire to drink. He said: “It was 11 o’clock precisely – I looked at my watch – and this is the spooky part: some deep, powerful thought or voice spoke to me from inside and said: ‘It’s all over. Now you can start living. And it has all been for a purpose, so don’t forget one moment of it.’”

Chris Murphy: Tariffs a Political Tool Trump Is Using to 'Enrich Himself'

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) claimed President Donald Trump was using tariffs to “enrich himself.” Host Jake Tapper said, “What’s your response to this new trump tariff on Canada? Murphy said, “I think it’s just further confirmation that these tariffs have nothing to do with us. Prices are going up on everything in this country. Manufacturing jobs are leaving. We’ve lost already this year about 30,000 manufacturing jobs. These tariffs really are just a political tool that the president uses to help himself, sometimes to enrich himself. You’ve seen companies openly admit that they’re making investments in his cryptocurrency in an attempt to win favor for him to try to get better treatment on the tariffs. You saw Apple make a $1 million contribution to his inauguration and then magically get an exemption from the tariffs, and then sometimes to try to suppress free speech, you know, whether he likes it or not. Even the government of Canada or the government of Ontario has the right to criticize him. But he’s now going to use the tariffs to try to punish people overseas from speaking out against him, just like he’s using the Department of Justice or the FCC to try to punish and control people who are speaking out against him here in America. So these tariffs aren’t about rebuilding our economy. They aren’t about helping regular consumers. There’s just — they’re just about giving Trump additional powers to try to benefit himself politically and financially.” Follow Pam Key on X @pamkeyNEN

7 Daily Rituals That Look Healthy But Quietly Raise Your Stress Levels, Says Hormone Expert

Many of us pride ourselves on our “healthy” daily rituals, morning workouts, intermittent fasting, earning analytics through sleep trackers, even sipping that strong espresso the moment we wake up. But according to a latest Instagram reel posted by the hormone-health expert Tanisha Bawa, several of these practices may actually be quietly raising your stress levels by boosting cortisol and other stress hormones. Here are 7 seemingly healthy habits that could be doing more harm than good when your nervous system is already running hot: 1. Cold exposure under high stress Taking cold plunges or very cold showers can be invigorating, but they also trigger adrenaline and cortisol. Bawa notes that if you’re already stressed or adrenal-fatigued, this “healthy shock” becomes more of a hit to your system. 2. Over-tracking sleep & recovery Sleep trackers and “recovery apps” promise insights, but if you’re constantly worried because your tracker says you didn’t recover fully, that anxiety itself can trigger cortisol. Bawa emphasises: sleep thrives on rhythm, not micromanagement. 3. Coffee on an empty stomach It’s tempting to grab your coffee right after waking, but caffeine on an empty stomach can raise cortisol by 30-50%. Add poor sleep or emotional stress, and you’re looking at a full hormonal storm, anxiety, cravings, energy crashes. 4. Daily high-intensity workouts without recoveryHIIT and fasted training can be fantastic, but doing them every day, especially if you’re already stressed, can push your cortisol too high, disrupt sleep, and lead to “wired-but-tired” syndrome. Recovery matters. 5. Intermittent fasting when overstressed Skipping meals might seem disciplined, but if your baseline stress is high, your brain hears “food is scarce, stay alert,” which can elevate cortisol, reduce metabolic flexibility, and hurt insulin sensitivity. 6. Night-time eating or late snackingEating late keeps your digestion and insulin firing, disrupting your circadian rhythm and preventing the natural overnight drop in cortisol. The result? You wake up tired and wired. 7. Reaching for your phone/screens first thing It’s common to check your phone the moment you wake. But instantly flooding your brain with dopamine and external inputs forces your stress system awake too early, before your body has grounded itself. If you’re working hard to “be healthy” but still feel drained, wired, or anxious despite your routines, these silent stress-boosters might be the missing piece. The key? It’s not always more discipline, it’s often more attunement to your nervous system’s capacity to recover. As Bawa says: “True health isn’t about doing more, it's about doing what your nervous system can actually recover from.” Before you overhaul your routine, listen to your body. Sometimes the most “healthy” habit is giving it permission to rest.
