Las Vegas Raiders HC Pete Carroll gives a crucial injury update that's vital to the team's plans for the rest of the season

Pete Carroll gives injury update on Geno Smith, Jackson Powers-Johnson, and Dylan Parham after loss to Broncos The first one that was asked was about the starting quarterback, and rightfully so. Before the injury, he played okay, but had a few moments where he held the ball too long. After the injury, he couldn't really even move."He wanted to go back in the worst way," Carroll told reporters. "He wanted to finish the game for his teammates. He got wacked in the quad, a quad bruise or contusion. Whatever it is, he got smacked. That's just him fighting. Yeah, go back out, because who knows? Just compete and battle. He tried… I don't know, it's a thigh bruise. This is not like other injuries where he can't get back from."Smith getting injured and not being able to go, potentially anyway, would be what some fans want because it would give everyone a full game to see Kenny Pickett. That's not anyone wishing an injury upon Smith, but this team is now 2-7, and they want to see something different. Of course, the one that everyone is really wanting to know about is star offensive lineman Jackson Powers-Johnson, who had to be helped and carried off the field by his teammates, including Maxx Crosby."He [Jackson Powers-Johnson] hurt his ankle, legit. And, I don't know all of the details, but he hurt his ankle. He will be out for a while. He [Dylan Parham] had a high ankle sprain that he tried to come back with, but he couldn't. He could move, but he couldn't push off. He tried to come back, too, but he couldn't. The right mentality," Carroll said.The offensive line started the game fine. They gave Smith plenty of time to throw, sometimes too much time. After these injuries, they really started to crumble. You hope a guy like JPJ, who is the future of the offensive line, is okay. Parham sounds like he could be good to go next week, and if not, certainly the week after. But we will see.Since beating the Tennessee Titans, the Raiders have lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in blowout - shutout fashion, the Jacksonville Jaguars, and now the Broncos. They will play the Dallas Cowboys next week. window.addEventListener('message', function (event) {if (event.data.totalpoll && event.data.totalpoll.action === 'resizeHeight') {document.querySelector('#totalpoll-iframe-365').height = event.data.totalpoll.value;}}, false);document.querySelector('#totalpoll-iframe-365').contentWindow.postMessage({totalpoll: {action: 'requestHeight'}}, '*')

Michelle McKeown: The greenest ways to go when you go

It turns out, not very. It’s not the cheeriest topic, I’ll grant you, but if you’re reading this over a cup of tea, stay with me. For most of Irish history, we’ve done things the traditional way. A wake in the house, a funeral mass, and a plot in the local cemetery. There’s comfort in that ritual; the sandwiches, the neighbours calling in, the sense of community. But when it comes to carbon footprints, the old-fashioned burial isn’t exactly green. Traditional burials involve embalming chemicals (usually formaldehyde) and hardwood coffins. Those lawns need mowing and fertilising too. Multiply that by the thousands of burials each year and the environmental impact starts to look rather grim. Then there’s the question of space. Ireland’s cemeteries are filling up fast. Dublin is already running short of burial plots, with similar issues emerging around Cork, Galway and Limerick. The result? Prices climbing as high as €10,000 for a plot in some Dublin areas. It’s an expensive and unsustainable send-off. That might be why more and more Irish people are choosing cremation. Back in 1980, fewer than 5% of Irish funerals involved cremation. Today, it’s much higher at around 20% with new crematoria popping up across the country. But while cremation saves space, it’s hardly the eco-option it’s often assumed to be. Each cremation releases between 200-400 kilograms of CO₂, depending on the crematorium’s efficiency. Plus trace emissions from burning coffins, varnish, and the occasional metal fitting. And though filters can capture some pollutants, there’s no escaping the basic chemistry, which is that fire requires fossil fuel, and fossil fuel means carbon. So, what’s the greenest way to go when your time comes? Thankfully, a growing number of alternatives are helping us make more planet-friendly departures. Natural burial A natural burial is exactly what it sounds like, returning to the earth as gently as possible. No embalming fluid, no ornate coffin, no polished headstone. Instead, you’re wrapped in a biodegradable shroud or laid in a simple wicker or cardboard coffin and buried in a shallow grave that allows for natural decomposition. The result is quietly beautiful. Burial grounds are managed as wildflower meadows or native woodlands, supporting bees, birds, and biodiversity. There’s no noisy maintenance, no petrol mowers, just the slow, organic process of life continuing. Ireland has several natural style burial grounds already, including Woodbrook in County Wexford, Killarney Burial Ground in Kerry, and Knockma Woodland Burials in Galway. Instead of rows of headstones, you might find a meadow dotted with trees or a woodland glade. Graves can be marked with simple wooden plaques, wildflowers, or GPS coordinates. It’s the kind of resting place you might actually want to visit. Peaceful, living, and alive with birdsong. Aquamation If you like your science clean and clever, this one’s for you. Water cremation, or aquamation, or resomation, uses a heated alkaline solution to gently accelerate the body’s natural breakdown. It’s essentially the same chemistry as decomposition, just sped up to take hours instead of years. Unlike fire cremation, aquamation uses only a fraction of the energy, emits no CO₂, and produces no harmful gases. The final product is a sterile powder (similar to ashes) that can be scattered or buried. It’s already being used in parts of Britain, the US and Australia, and was famously chosen by Archbishop Desmond Tutu. In Ireland, the demand for this option could grow as Pure Reflections resomation facility opened here in 2023. In their first year of business they handled more than 100 funerals and more again the second year says Pure Reflections director, Elizabeth Oakes. Human composting Then there’s the boldest option of all: human composting. Legal in several US states, this process (technically called 'natural organic reduction') transforms a body into nutrient-rich soil. The deceased is placed in a vessel with woodchips, alfalfa, and straw. Air is circulated to encourage microbial activity, and after about six weeks, you’ve become roughly one cubic metre of clean, fertile compost. That compost can be used to nourish trees or restore degraded land. It’s carbon-negative, entirely chemical-free — and, dare I say it, poetic. It’s not available in Ireland, but attitudes are shifting. A generation ago, cremation was considered un-Irish. Now it’s mainstream. So, it’s not impossible to imagine a time when 'composting yourself' doesn’t raise an eyebrow at the pub. Mycelium coffins If you want to go out in eco-style, there’s also the Infinity Burial Suit... a biodegradable jumpsuit laced with mushroom spores that digest your body and neutralise toxins as you decompose. It sounds like something from a sci-fi film, but it’s very real. Similarly, Dutch innovators have developed mycelium coffins, grown from fungi. They take just a week to make, break down entirely within 45 days underground, and enrich the surrounding soil. So, what’s the verdict? If you died tomorrow (purely hypothetically), the most sustainable choice currently available in Ireland would be a natural burial. It’s low-carbon, local, and beautifully symbolic. In the future, water cremation and human composting could take the lead, but for now, the infrastructure simply isn’t here. In the meantime, even small choices make a difference. Opting for a biodegradable coffin, skipping embalming, or planting native trees in memory instead of marble headstones. Death is, of course, unavoidable. But the mark we leave behind doesn’t have to be. With a bit of planning, your last act on Earth could be one that gives something back, a tree, a meadow, a patch of pollinator paradise. Because as the old saying goes, you can’t take it with you; but you can leave a little something behind for the planet.

How Virat Kohli’s Fitness Routine And Diet Keep Him In Excellent Shape At 37

Despite celebrating his 37th birthday on Wednesday, November 5, and nearing the end of his illustrious playing career, legendary Indian batter Virat Kohli maintains an excellent physique and fitness standards. Rigorously following a strict diet and a disciplined workout routine, Kohli seems to have cracked the code on how to defy ageing and retain the shape he had in the pink of his youth as a dominant international batter. In an old interview with Star Sports, Kohli revealed that his pursuit to be the fittest cricketer in the Indian team and one of the game’s finest athletes began even as he ended the 2011-12 season with consistent performances and his reputation was enhanced at the highest level. Never one to rest on his laurels, the determined cricketer looked at himself in the mirror one day during the IPL 2012 and decided to transform his lifestyle completely. Here is a brief insight into Kohli’s inspiring fitness routine and uncompromised dietary choices. Virat Kohli On His Fitness Routine “When you begin your fitness journey, you experiment with everything, vitamins, extra hydration, proteins, until you figure out what truly works for you. That’s when you find the right balance,” Kohli told Star Sports during an interaction. Kohli emphasised a strict and nutritional diet as key to his fitness transformation, even more than the number of hours he spends daily in the gym. “The biggest challenge I’ve faced with fitness is food. You can push yourself physically, but eating right is a mental game. Your taste buds and cravings can either help or hinder your progress,” he said. Once a proper Delhi boy, who relished his Chole Bhature and other street food delicacies, Kohli has stopped eating food for taste. “(Now) I can eat the same meals three times a day for six months without any issues. Around 90% of my food is steamed or boiled, with just salt, pepper, and lime. I’m not someone who chases taste, I focus on what’s right for my body,” the legend said. “I enjoy salads with a little dressing and pan-grilled dishes with some olive oil. I avoid curries, but I do eat dal, and as a Punjabi, I can’t skip rajma and lobhiya.” Switch To Vegeteranism Back in 2018, Kohli had to opt out of his County Championship stint for Surrey due to a neck injury. While he recovered and dominated the bowling on the Test tour of England, Kohli was keen to figure out what caused him discomfort around the neck region. After approaching the doctors and health experts, the former skipper discovered he had calcium depletion in his bones and experienced high acidity and elevated uric acid levels. It was then that he gave up meat completely and switched to a vegetarian diet. However, in an interview with Curly Tales on YouTube, Kohli clarified that he is not a strict vegan and does consume some dairy products.

Six Arrested As Aston Villa Beat Maccabi Tel Aviv 2-0 During 'High-Risk' Europa League Match

UK police arrested six individuals during a high-risk football match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Aston Villa in Birmingham on Thursday. Despite heavy security measures, the event proceeded largely peacefully. Over 700 police officers were deployed across the city in central England as pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel demonstrators held separate protests outside Villa Park stadium before the match began. Last month, Villa announced that Maccabi fans would not be permitted at the UEFA Europa League game following a police risk assessment. This decision drew criticism, including from Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who attempted to reverse the move. However, the Israeli club later stated it would decline tickets for its fans due to safety concerns. Around 200 pro-Palestinian protesters gathered near the stadium’s Trinity Road stand, chanting “Free Palestine” and displaying banners advocating for a boycott of Israel and its exclusion from international football. Meanwhile, a smaller group of pro-Israel protesters stood on the opposite side of the stadium, waving Israeli flags and holding posters with messages such as “Keep anti-Semitism out of football” before being escorted away by police. Maccabi fan Itai Gal expressed disappointment to AFP, stating that their only intention was to celebrate their team’s presence in English football, and lamented the lost opportunity. Birmingham, a city with a significant Muslim population, has witnessed regular pro-Palestinian rallies over the past two years. Police classified Thursday’s fixture as “high risk,” referencing violent clashes and hate crime offences during a Europa League match between Maccabi and Ajax in Amsterdam last November. That incident led to two days of confrontations between locals and Israeli fans in the Dutch city. AFP observed a significant police presence outside Villa Park, with officers wearing protective gear and riot helmets, and police horses deployed. West Midlands Police stated they have experience managing high-profile football matches and demonstrations and had been working closely with various faith and community groups to address their concerns. Signs near the stadium read “No War Games Allowed” and “Give Zionism the Red Card,” while far-right activist Tommy Robinson’s channels made Islamophobic statements about the match and planned protests. One school near the stadium closed early to avoid disruption, with others reportedly considering similar actions. Robert Hussain, a local mosque volunteer, expressed anxiety before the game. West Midlands Police, supported by 25 other forces, reported that those arrested faced charges ranging from racial aggravation to failing to comply with a dispersal order. Villa did not sell tickets for their own fans in the away end of their stadium, leaving that section vacant throughout the match, which the home side won 2-0. Elizabeth, a Villa season ticket holder, expressed understanding of the decision to bar Maccabi fans but felt it was unfortunate, emphasizing that football should be inclusive regardless of faith or race. Maccabi Tel Aviv’s decision to decline tickets followed police cancellation of an Israeli Premier League match against city rivals Hapoel due to “riots” between rival fans. The team asserted that its supporters were not involved in the unrest and condemned the “hate-filled falsehoods” creating a “toxic atmosphere.” Ayoub Khan, the independent MP for the Birmingham area covering Villa Park, noted the local concentration of Muslims and their concerns about racism. Aston Villa requested that supporters refrain from displaying political symbols during the match, adhering to UEFA’s protocols. With AFP Inputs

Can Smog Damage Your Gut? Experts Explain How Pollution Impacts Digestion And Immunity

When we think of air pollution, the first organs that come to mind are our lungs and heart. But experts are now uncovering a surprising truth. The air we breathe may be silently harming our gut, too. As pollution levels continue to rise across major Indian cities, especially in regions like Delhi NCR, their effects are no longer confined to respiratory distress or fatigue. Airborne toxins are entering the bloodstream and interfering with gut bacteria, inflammation, and immunity by turning gut health into the newest casualty of poor air quality. Pollution Doesn’t Stop At The Lungs Dr. Swetabh Purohit, Senior Consultant – Pulmonology at Paras Health, Udaipur, explains that the impact of air pollution extends far beyond what most people imagine. “The fine particulate matter and toxic gases we inhale do not just stay in the lungs; they can enter the bloodstream, triggering systemic inflammation that extends to the gut,” he says. This inflammation disrupts the gut microbiome, reduces beneficial bacteria, and weakens the intestinal barrier – a cascade that can cause acidity, bloating, irritable bowel symptoms, and even poor immunity. Similarly, Dr. Neerja Hajela, Head of Science and Regulatory Affairs at Yakult Danone India Pvt. Ltd., adds that air pollution is “a hidden yet strong risk, impacting not only the lungs but also gut health.” According to her, chronic exposure to environmental toxins can disrupt the delicate balance of gut microbiota, increasing inflammation and decreasing immune function. She emphasises that supporting the gut through diet and probiotics can help counter these effects. Nutritionist Sonia Mehta, Founder of EverBloom, agrees. “Airborne pollutants also enter our bodies and affect the digestive tract due to inhalation and swallowing. They disturb the intestinal microbiota, triggering low-grade inflammation, sluggish motility, fatigue, and even mood swings,” she says. Building A Pollution-Resilient Gut So how can you protect your gut when the air outside isn’t on your side? Experts unanimously stress the importance of diet, hydration, and mindful lifestyle habits. Dr. Hajela suggests incorporating probiotics into your daily routine: “science-backed probiotic drinks like Yakult can help maintain a healthier gut by replenishing beneficial bacteria and supporting gut barrier function.” Sonia recommends creating a microbiome-friendly plate filled with fibre-rich vegetables such as spinach, carrot, and bottle gourd, alongside whole grains like jowar, oats, and brown rice. “Include fermented foods like curd, buttermilk, idli, dosa, kimchi, or traditional pickles for live cultures,” she adds. Her tip: balance these with prebiotic sources like bananas, garlic, onion, and flaxseed, while staying well-hydrated with plain water and herbal teas. Meanwhile, Dr. Purohit advises regular exercise, adequate hydration, and avoiding heavily processed or high-fat foods, which can worsen inflammation. “Maintaining gut resilience is vital, especially in areas where air quality dips to hazardous levels,” he says. The connection between air pollution and gut health is real and increasingly relevant. While you can’t always control the air you breathe, you can strengthen your gut’s defences from within. Eating smart, staying hydrated, moving regularly, and including probiotics and prebiotics in your diet can go a long way. Protecting your gut, after all, is not just about better digestion; it’s a crucial step in safeguarding your overall health in a polluted world.

'Vande Mataram' remains proclamation of nation's unity, says President Murmu

New Delhi, Nov 7 (PTI) ‘Vande Mataram’, the national song of India, continues to symbolise the emotional consciousness and unity of the country’s people, President Droupadi Murmu said on Friday. On the occasion of the song’s 150th anniversary, “let all of us countrymen take this firm resolve that we will keep Mother India endowed with ‘Sujala’ (good water), ‘sufala’ (good or fine fruit) and ‘sukhda’ (bestowed with happiness), in accordance with the spirit of this song. Vande Mataram,” Murmu said in a post on X in Hindi. The president also recounted how, in the nineteenth century, Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay composed Vande Mataram against the backdrop of the Sannyasi rebellion against British rule, which, since the 1905 Swadeshi movement, has become a source of inspiration. “Since then, this song of reverence to Mother India has remained a proclamation of the emotional consciousness and unity of our countrymen, and it will continue to be so,” the president said, adding that after independence, the country reverently adopted it as the national song. November 7, this year, marks the 150th anniversary of Vande Mataram, which translates to “Mother, I bow to thee.” This composition, an enduring anthem, has inspired countless generations of freedom fighters and nation builders, standing as a lasting emblem of India’s national identity and collective spirit, according to an official statement. Vande Mataram was first published in the literary journal Bangadarshan on November 7, 1875, and was set to music by Rabindranath Tagore. PTI AKV MPL MPL
