Footage has captured the terrifying moment a woman was pushed into oncoming traffic by gale force winds in New Zealand. Dashcam footage, captured by passer-by Justin Ashworth yesterday morning, shows traffic lights and tree branches swaying heavily as the woman attempts to walk carefully towards the road. The pedestrian then appears to be thrust onto the Wellington intersection by a large gust as her bag and belongings take off into the distance. A grey Toyota Prius and a black VW Golf miraculously makes a quick stop in front of the woman as the scenes unfolded. The pedestrian is thrusted onto…

Former Gov. Cuomo got some strong applause attacking Mamdani’s blathering policies. “I’m going to deep freeze the rent. People think it applies to all of them. No, just the 25% of the units that are really stabilized,” he said. Independent candidate and former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo participates in the second New York City mayoral debate.

The Rent Guidelines Board…

People might be getting sick of big studios making low-budget horror films but still raking in the cash.  Horror fans are gravitating to the smaller houses that are doing big things with their acquisitions and distributions. Those companies are run by true genre cinephiles, not big pocketed executives who see dollars signs, not devoted fans.  Take Joe Dain, for instance. He’s the CEO of Terror Films Releasing (TFR) an independent horror distributor; the company that brought you, among other titles, the Hell House LLC franchise, Be My Cat, and The Wendigo.  In fact, they have released over 150 movies in the…

An 84-year-old goat herder was “blown to pieces” by a Russian drone that landed on her and her animals in a Ukrainian city that has become known as a “human safari zone.” Larisa Mironyevna Vakulyuk, 84 — known locally as Baba Lora or Grandma Lora — was walking with two of her goats early Monday along the Antonivka neighborhood, in Kherson, when they were struck by a Russian UAV, the New Voice of Ukraine reported. Zarina Zabrisky, an American journalist based in Kherson, confirmed the deadly strike having interviewed the 84-year-old last month, describing the bloody aftermath as one of the…

Aaron Glenn did not even make it to Halloween before facing his first crisis as Jets coach. Glenn’s team is 0-7 and has shown the firepower of a water gun. It has gone two weeks without any touchdowns and six weeks without a touchdown in the first half. So, Glenn is now pondering a quarterback change from Justin Fields to Tyrod Taylor. All logic points to Glenn turning to Taylor, the 36-year-old veteran journeyman, but Glenn was not ready to announce that Wednesday, citing a “competitive advantage” by keeping the Bengals guessing about Sunday. I’m sure Cincinnati defensive coordinator Al…

“People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” – John Maxwell Efforts to measure employee sentiment often fall short, leaving leaders perplexed and workers disillusioned. If the expectations of workers that their jobs will consider their overall wellness are to be met, we need to return to an old-school method of checking in on how people feel about where they work. It wasn’t until the 1930s that the idea of worker satisfaction entered the working world’s psyche. Before then, the prevailing attitude was simple: “You work for us, we pay you.” Worker dissatisfaction was…

WASHINGTON — Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced Wednesday that the US was rolling out some of its heaviest sanctions yet against Russia — after plans for a summit between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin foundered earlier this week. Moscow’s two largest energy companies — Open Joint Stock Company Rosneft Oil Company and Lukoil OAO — were hit by the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control with the crippling economic penalties to push for an end to the more than three-year-old invasion of Ukraine. “Now is the time to stop the killing and for an immediate cease-fire,” Bessent said in a statement, noting…

This pasta party spiraled out of control. One Olive Garden server says a group of carb-crazed diners turned the chain’s famous “Never-Ending Pasta Bowl” into a bottomless nightmare — racking up a shocking $150 bill and a trail of regret. “This never ending pasta gotta stop,” the exhausted employee vented on Reddit in an r/olivegarden post. “Never had a table get this many refills,” they wrote alongside a photo of the mile-long receipt. The frazzled server explained that it wasn’t even their table — it belonged to a coworker who “was obv hoarding it,” watching helplessly as the group plowed…

It’s not gone well for Derek Mason at Middle Tennessee State. Not only has Mason watched his former program, Vanderbilt, rise from the ashes under Clark Lea, but his current team is 1-5 and widely considered one of the worst in FBS. Replacing Rick Stockstill, who turned the Blue Raiders into a respectable Group of 5 outfit during his 17-year tenure in Murfreesboro, was never going to be easy, but the pressure is on…
