Major Metal Star Hospitalized, Concert Canceled

One popular metalcore band had to cancel a European tour date after its frontman was hospitalized. The Devil Wears Prada’s lead singer Mike Hranica fell ill during the band’s Sunday show in Paris, France and was sent to the hospital. According to the band’s Instagram story, Hranica needed immediate medical help and thus was unable to finish the band’s set. Currently, the band is on tour all across Europe with fellow musical acts Ice Nine Kills and Creeper. The Instagram story also announced the cancellation of the next day’s tour date. “Our deepest apologies to our friends in Vienna as we are unable to make the show tonight. Mike was hospitalized before we could finish our show in Paris, and we’re taking an additional day of rest to prepare for the rest of the tour supporting Ice Nine Kills,” the band wrote. “Mike is recuperating. We promise we’ll be back in Paris and Vienna next year, we appreciate your understanding and look forward to next time around!” There is currently no word on what was ailing Hranica or why he needed to be hospitalized. Just days before his hospitalization, the tour began, and the band posted a celebratory video on their Instagram page. “Rehearsals are done, we don’t stop,” the band wrote. “Night one of the @iceninekills tour across Europe and the UK starts now!” The Devil Wears Prada formed in 2005 in Dayton, Ohio, and has maintained a presence on the rock scene for the past 20 years. The band’s next tour date is tomorrow in Cologne.

Celtics Might Have Uncovered a Gem This Offseason

The Boston Celtics started this season in search of answers. Roles were fluid. Lineups changed most nights. Without Jayson Tatum, the team leaned on structure and collective effort to stay steady. In the middle of that uncertainty, one of the quieter stories on the roster has begun to take shape. Josh Minott has given the Celtics something they didn’t expect this soon: reliability built on energy, maturity and a calm understanding of what each game needs. He hasn’t forced his way into the spotlight. He’s simply earned it. Minott: From Opportunity to Adversity and Back Again Minott’s early-season rise came fast. He worked his way into the starting lineup in a road game versus the Pelicans and stayed there for nine straight games, turning that stretch into some of the most confident basketball of his young career. His 21-point night against the Wizards was the highlight, a performance full of activity and poise. But he never treated the role like it belonged to him. “I don’t consider that I have any staying power. I try to go out there like this can end tomorrow because it can,” he said after that career night. “Every time I go out, I assume it can be taken from me.” Soon enough, it was. Three games later against Philadelphia, he played just eight minutes and never returned after halftime. The next few games brought similar swings. His matchups changed. His minutes tightened. A young player could have easily slipped into frustration. Instead, Minott carried the same grounded perspective that helped him rise in the first place. “If you were poor and I gave you 20 bucks and then instantly took 20 bucks, you never really felt like you had it,” he joked. “It was nice, but I’m used to this position. That mentality didn’t just keep him centered. It prepared him for the next opportunity that mattered. Minott’s Breakthrough and a Glimpse of the Celtics’ Future Minott stepped into Sunday’s win over the Orlando Magic after Neemias Queta exited with an ankle sprain. What happened over the next stretch was the kind of subtle shift that can define a role player’s season. Boston went from up 4 to up 23 during the minutes Minott played as a small-ball center. His energy changed the pace. Cutting and screening gave the offense movement. Defense turned into transition chances. And his shooting, including two timely threes, kept the Magic guessing. He finished with 16 points on 7-for-8 shooting, added 7 rebounds and a block. More than the numbers, it was the feel of his minutes that stood out. “I thought Josh gave us some great stuff,” Joe Mazzulla said. “His shooting, his screening, turning defense into offense. He sparked a lot of what we were doing. This is the version of Minott that fits exactly where the Celtics want to go. He does not need the ball. He does not disrupt the structure. His pace makes the players around him more comfortable. In small-ball lineups, he unlocks speed. On the wing, he gives the Celtics another defender who can switch, chase, rebound and stay active without needing plays designed for him. As the rotation tightens when Tatum returns, those qualities matter even more. Boston values versatility. They value discipline. They value players who can slide into different spots depending on what the game demands. Minott checks each of those boxes without stepping outside himself. He is the kind of player who makes the team’s identity stronger. What’s Next for Minott and the Celtics? Josh Minott has spent this season moving between opportunity and uncertainty, but he has handled both with the same steady approach. He understands that nothing is guaranteed, and he plays like someone who respects every minute he gets. The Celtics don’t need him to be loud. They need him to be present. If he continues to lean on effort, versatility and a grounded mindset, Minott may become one of the most meaningful developments of Boston’s season. His role doesn’t require hype. It only requires more of what he’s already giving. And the more he gives, the clearer it becomes that the Celtics might have found something real.

Why the population of deer increased so much?

IERE ^ | 11/18/25 | James Murray Posted on by DallasBiff Why Has the Deer Population Exploded? Understanding the Surge in Deer Numbers The dramatic increase in deer populations stems primarily from human-induced changes to their environment, including habitat alteration, predator removal, and supplemental feeding, leading to Why the population of deer increased so much? Introduction: The Unseen Rise of the White-Tailed Deer The rustling in the woods, the flash of a white tail encounters with deer have become increasingly common. But what’s driving this proliferation of deer across vast swathes of North America and other regions? It’s a complex issue with deep roots in ecological changes, human intervention, and the remarkable adaptability of these creatures. Understanding the causes behind Why the population of deer increased so much? is crucial for managing ecosystems and mitigating the potential consequences of overpopulation. Loss of Natural Predators: A Critical Imbalance One of the most significant factors is the drastic reduction in natural predators. Historically, wolves, mountain lions, bears, and coyotes kept deer populations in check. Wolves: The apex predator, wolves exerted the strongest influence. Mountain Lions: Another major predator, particularly in mountainous regions. Bears: Opportunistic predators, especially of fawns. Coyotes: While less effective on adult deer, coyotes prey on fawns and contribute to population control. (Excerpt) Read more at iere. org .

Apple Intelligence actually shines in Apple Maps

Perhaps Apple’s AI fiasco wasn’t so much an issue with Apple Intelligence as much as it was Apple not understanding the assignment. Look at what Google has done with AI on its Pixel phones. The point of the Camera Coach is to be helpful to Pixel users who are shooting a photo or video. The Gemini AI model used will analyze the scene and will position the user to give the photo a better chance of becoming an epic shot. Examples of useful AI on the Pixel are the Camera Coach and the Magic Cue The Camera Coach will move the user which results in optimal framing of the photo. The Coach will also make suggestions about making adjustments to the settings to improve the lighting or the zoom level. This is a useful AI feature unlike, say, Apple’s Image Playground which really is not a useful AI tool for iPhone users. And then there is the Magic Cue which Google promoted heavily during its most recent Pixel event. While Jimmy Fallon might not have been the best choice to host the event, Google’s Senior VP of Platforms and Devices Rick Osterloh did a good job verbalizing what Google wants from its AI which is to be proactive, not reactive. And that takes us to the Pixel 10’s Magic Cue feature. When it starts working like it should, Magic Cue could be a game changer While it has had an auspicious start and hasn’t consistently turned up when and where expected, the Magic Cue is supposed to figure out what it is you are trying to do and help you do it. For example, let’s say you are calling Puddle Jumpers Airlines to make a change to your reservation. The Magic Cue will know what you are doing and will automatically bring up your reservation information so that this information is right at your fingertips when needed. Or suppose you’re texting your friend Jimmy Olsen, a photographer at a local newspaper in Metropolis where you’re flying into tomorrow. In his chat with you, Olsen asks what time your plane is supposed to arrive so he can pick you up. The Magic Cue is supposed to understand the request for this information and create a tap-to-insert text chip in Google Messages with all of your arrival info. See how useful and timesaving this is? Apple finally gets the point that AI needs to make features useful to users Perhaps Apple is finally getting the point. Apple has added Apple Intelligence infused search to several apps improving search on the Photos app, Apple Music and the Apple TV app. With iOS 26, Apple has added some new AI capabilities to Apple Maps including AI infused search. If you’ve updated your iPhone to iOS 26, when you open Apple Maps you might receive a popup that says, “Search The Way You Talk.” Underneath it reads, “Use natural language for searches like “Find cafes with free Wi-Fi.” The advantage with this feature, as we mentioned when we first brought it to your attention this past August, is that you can use conversational language to make requests. For example, instead of typing or speaking “Restaurants open late,” you might narrow your search to receive a more precise response by typing, “Show me some highly rated Italian restaurants that have outdoor seating and are open after 10 PM.” The bottom line is that the new feature allows you to give Apple Maps your query exactly as you might say it. As a result, the task is more easily understood by Apple Maps without requiring the use of filters to get the answer that you want. Do you find Apple’s AI infused Search to be useful? Absolutely as it makes it easier to find something in a app. No, I don’t notice any improvement. It’s too early to tell. Absolutely as it makes it easier to find something in a app. 100% No, I don’t notice any improvement. 0% It’s too early to tell. 0% Have you used “Search The Way You Talk” on Apple Maps yet? Did you find that it was a useful AI tool making it easier to request exactly what you’re searching for? The advantage is that instead of having to repeat your search request multiple times to receive a specific answer, you just have to type your search request as though you were having a conversation with the app. This way you can ask it to search something one time and get the answer you need.

The Kid Whisperer: How to teach a kid to not use hurtful words

Dear Kid Whisperer, I’m a sixth-grade teacher. My teaching partner has a student who has always been hard, these last couple weeks especially. He’s had to practice a lot lately. Instead of writing his name on his assignment, he wrote an offensive word. He already had a talking-to about using this specific word last year. How would you address this? Answer: Woe be unto the teacher who warns and/or lectures kids about their serious or chronic behaviors. We call it “Warning Therapy.” More on that in a moment. First, teachers need to understand that they are not like most people. Teachers tend to be adults who liked school more than most people. I know this because teachers all took a job that involves them spending an extra 30 years in school. People who enjoyed school are (generally) agreeable people who, when told not to do something by a teacher think, “Well, this person seems like they have my best interests at heart, so I’ll stop doing the thing they want me to stop doing.” When these agreeable people become teachers, they have a hard time understanding kids who don’t just do as they are told. Thank goodness you have me. I am a disagreeable person. I became a teacher because I hated school, and I wanted to make school better for kids. I identify with this kid because I was this kid who you are talking about. My wife would say that I still am that kid who you’re talking about. Kids like this kid (and me) will not improve their behavior when you apply Warning Therapy. That means that when a difficult kid hears a warning or a lecture, but the teacher takes no action, that kid gets the following message: “You can do that behavior at least one time and I’m not going to do anything about it, so please continue, and perhaps experiment, just for funsies, with doing it twice.” Kids don’t really listen when we talk, but they do tend to notice when we act. We should set a limit once and then follow through with a Delayed Learning Opportunity prefaced with love and empathy. Here’s how I would do it with this student at a non-instructional time with no other kids around. It will occur sometime after I have delayed this opportunity to learn later. Here’s what happens later: Kid Whisperer: Dude. Oh, dude. You are really struggling with remembering not to use really mean words on your papers. Kid: Whatever! I’ll write whatever I want! Kid Whisperer: I think this might be partially my fault. I talked to you about this, but I didn’t give you a chance to learn about why this word is so hurtful, and why it isn’t allowed to be used in school. I’m sorry about that. Kid: Whatever! Can I just go?? Kid Whisperer: I got you these resources about why that word can be hurtful so that you know not to use it. I have a video and excerpts from books. You can read them, and watch them, and we can talk about them, and then you can write about what you learned. Once you understand why that word is a word that we don’t use in school, you will come up with a list of things that you will do or say instead of using these mean words when you feel like using them. Once you have the plan, we’ll be done with all of this. Kid: Whatever! This is stupid! Kid Whisperer: Oh, dude. I don’t argue. Here are your materials. Let me know if you need any help. At this point, this student has two choices: He can either learn one lesson or two. He could be cooperative and solve the problem that he has been asked to solve. His other option is to refuse to solve the problem. As long as we stay firm and offer the opportunity to solve the problem that he caused during most or all non-instructional time until he agrees to solve his problem, Kid will learn an even more important lesson first: that refusing a reasonable request from an authority figure doesn’t get you out of trouble and doesn’t get you what you want. No matter what he chooses to do, he will learn to be a better person through your expert instruction! ©2025 Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

Federal and State Limits on Wage Garnishment

In the U. S., the overall rate of wage garnishments has been declining since the start of the pandemic, reaching 2. 8% in January 2024, according to ADP Research. When workers face financial problems, wage garnishment can be an option to pay off debts or other financial obligations. The employer withholds a portion of the employee’s earnings to make sure they can pay for debts, child support, taxes or other financial obligations. This arrangement can be stressful for the worker, but both federal and state laws make sure there is a clear limit on how much a person’s wages can be garnished. It is designed so that employees will still have enough for their day-to-day living expenses. Once you understand these garnishment limitations, you can ensure your financial stability while attending to your financial obligations. Let us look into wage garnishment and what is to be done if one is subject to it. Understanding Wage Garnishment In case you have an outstanding debt and are unable to settle it, then wage garnishment could be deemed suitable for your situation. It is actually a judicial procedure where an employer is mandated by the court to relinquish a fraction of the taxpayer’s income in order to cover the taxpayer’s liability, says wage garnishment attorney Lindsay Steele. Facing such a situation can be scary, so learn about it to regain control. The usual process is that the court sends an approved order to your employer so that they can withhold any portion of your wages till such time as the creditor is satisfied. Though it may sound harsh, it is important to know that there are laws governing the maximum amount that can go through garnishment. Knowing your rights does count, and you can reach out for support from either friends or money advisors to help you on this journey. You are not all alone. Federal Wage Garnishment Limits Understanding the limits on wage garnishment will shield the income of a worker. If someone’s disposable income is being garnished, creditors may do so by up to 25 percent under federal laws or above 30 times the federal minimum wage garnishment, whichever is less. If you earn very little, you might actually pay less; hence, this provision leaves much of your income for your own use. These limits barely allow you to survive. If in case your wages are being garnished, do not let yourself feel isolated. This is a common scenario that you have to face and being aware of your rights will give you the strength to push through it. State-Specific Garnishment Regulations While federal legislation establishes a minimum standard regarding wage garnishment, every state can set its regulations that may have a bearing on how much money you can have garnished. This means you might have different thresholds depending upon where you reside. Some states offer unlimited exemptions for child support, for example, while others may have an exemption level requirement or reduced protections. Consequently, you have to be updated with those state-specific laws, as they will influence your daily activities. This feeling of being overwhelmed is quite common among people. Just imagine how a more empowered outlook about taking vengeance could be constructed through the making up of incitements now. How to Calculate Your Disposable Income Knowing your state’s garnishment limits is only the beginning. The next thing to consider is the calculation of disposable income. A start would be to calculate gross income–that is, total earnings without deductions. Now diminish UR amounts totally randomly for mandatory deductions like taxes, Social Security, and health insurance premiums. Remaining would be your disposable income, which is the income subject to wage garnishment. Accuracy is crucial for it may affect the amount that may be taken away from your wages. Make sure to keep enough to cover the essentials. Understanding this process is one step in allowing you to take a step forward in financially liberating yourself as a community that thrives even through tough times. Steps to Take if Your Wages Are Garnished If your wages are garnished, you have to move quickly to limit the damage to your financial setup. Look over the garnishment notice to find out who filed it and why. Do not allow the deduction to be above the amount authorized by law. If you feel that the creditor is charging you too much or unfairly, then you may negotiate with that party on the payment terms or a settlement; otherwise, ask your lawyer for background on your options. Remember, the rights are yours. Never feel intimidated about asserting them. Start budgeting around the income that will be lessened and try to contact some groups for assistance or a financial expert. Through this method, you could take back control and get on your feet again.

Crypto Market Watches for Possible Strategy Bitcoin Buy After Latest Saylor Update

Bitcoin Bitcoin’s price action may be soft, but the rumor mill is not. The latest spark came from Michael Saylor, whose brief “Big Week” post paired with a portfolio graphic has traders wondering whether Strategy is about to add even more BTC to its already enormous stash. Earlier speculation that Strategy was reducing its position was dismissed by Saylor, who reiterated that the firm has not sold Bitcoin and intends to maintain its accumulation strategy. Market Narrative Around Halving Cycle Is Also Changing While speculation around Saylor continues, a broader industry discussion has emerged around Bitcoin’s market cycle. Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley recently said the traditional four-year cycle may be shifting. According to Horsley, expectations of a downturn in 2026 may have encouraged earlier selling, possibly contributing to the correction currently seen in 2025. He noted that Bitcoin’s post-halving performance has been weaker than in previous cycles and suggested that early profit-taking could be reshaping historical patterns.

My Parents Own a Beautiful Home. My Brother Just Told Me He Thinks He Should Get It Outright When They Die.

**Dear Care and Feeding,**

My parents are aging and live in a beautiful paid-off home in a very desirable town. I have one brother. We’re both in our 30s, and we’re close—we’ve always been friends. But recently, the topic has been coming up of what happens with my parents’ home when they are no longer living in it. They have been wishy-washy about their wishes in their will.

My brother lives in our hometown where the house in question is located; he has no children and is unmarried. I have relocated to an equally desirable and expensive town north of where we grew up, am married, and have one small child (17 months old). I own my home, and we have a mortgage with a high interest rate. My brother is renting from a friend but has recently gotten approved for a home loan and is looking to buy a home in our hometown.

I have assumed the fair thing to do would be to sell the house and split the value of the house down the middle. It is a beautiful home full of happy memories, but it deserves to have a family grow there just as we have over the last 30 years, in my opinion!

But during our last visit, my brother told me he doesn’t plan to sell the house; he wants to keep it. He does not feel that he should have to buy me out. He said he does not plan to live in it or raise a family there. In fact, he didn’t say exactly what his plan would be for the property.

I was shocked. He was very adamant that he is entitled to the house. I love my brother and don’t want this to put a wedge between us, but I have my own family and mortgage to look out for and we both lived there 30 years.

Assuming my parents leave us both the house in equal portions, how do I navigate this scenario and get what is left to me? Do I need a lawyer? If he refuses to sell, do I have to wait until he is ready? What happens in the meantime?

I’ll mention there is $4 million dollars in a generational skipping trust that I utilized for the $150,000 down payment on my home. My brother intends to do the same when he buys his home, hopefully within the next few months. I don’t know if that is relevant but figured I’d mention it.

—Love My Entitled Brother But Want What’s Rightfully Mine

**Dear Love My Entitled Brother,**

Before this becomes a legal battle, ask your brother one critical question: Why does he want to keep the house if he’s not planning to live in it or raise a family there? Is this about sentiment? Control? Investment? The fact that he won’t articulate a plan is telling.

Is he thinking of renting it out? Using it as a vacation property? Just having it? Understanding his motivation matters because if this is about emotion rather than logic, you might be able to find common ground by opening up a conversation around his feelings rather than the value of the property.

Your next step is to talk to your parents because, and this is key, they’re still alive and can control how this plays out. They may not be aware of your brother’s attachment to the house or the fact that you two are already talking about who gets what after they’re gone.

Now is the time to nail down what they want to do with their assets. They may seem wishy-washy about the house because they don’t care what happens to it after they die. Or, they want to leave that decision to you both, or to the executor of their estates (if that isn’t you or your brother).

Here’s one potential solution you may not have considered: Your parents could structure their estate plan so your brother inherits the house and you receive an equivalent value in other assets — stock, trust distributions, cash, whatever. If the house is worth, say, $1.5 million, you’d get $1.5 million in other assets.

But this only works if your parents design it that way in their will and trust documents. Which brings up another topic: their estate plan and how the assets (house, accounts, cars, etc.) are titled. You should have a direct conversation with them now to discuss where everything is and how it is being held.

At that time, you can tell them your brother wants to keep the house and ask them to work with their estate planning attorney to structure the inheritance fairly. If they want your brother to have the house, great—but if the goal is to divide their assets equally between you, they need to ensure you receive equivalent value from other assets.

If your parents don’t plan ahead and instead leave the house to both of you as equal co-owners, then your brother has three legal options:

1. Buy you out at fair market value with his own money.
2. Agree to sell and split proceeds.
3. Face a partition lawsuit where a court forces the sale.

He cannot simply keep it without compensating you.

You might want to have a clarifying conversation with an estate planning attorney (even your parents’ estate attorney) to understand how it will work. Your brother may feel “entitled” to the house, but without your parents structuring the estate appropriately, his feelings don’t override property law or probate court.

While you love your brother, inheriting money can change people and their relationships. Work to resolve these issues now, while your parents are alive, so you preserve your relationships once they’re gone.

—Ilyce Classic Prudie

**Additional Note from Classic Prudie**

My husband and I have been married for three years. We have a 4-year-old son and 16-month-old twins. I have four older children. My husband was briefly married once before me; I was previously married for 12 years. We were both going through our divorces around the same time, messed around, and got pregnant. We hadn’t planned on anything serious, but we gave it a shot and ended up falling in love.

Early in our relationship, I shared something vulnerable with him: I got pregnant with my oldest at 16, and I never told her birth father.

Atlanta Fed President Bostic says he’ll leave position when his term expires in February

**Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic to Step Down in February**

Atlanta Federal Reserve President Raphael Bostic announced Wednesday that he will be leaving his position when his term expires on February 28th. Bostic, who has served since June 2017, made history as the first Black and openly gay regional president of the Federal Reserve.

“I’m proud of what we accomplished during my tenure to turn the lofty goal of an economy that works for everyone into more of a reality, and I look forward to discovering new ways to advance that bold vision in my next chapter,” Bostic said in a statement.

His announcement comes at a pivotal time for the Federal Reserve and its rate-setting body, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). Regional presidents serve five-year terms, often synchronized to expire in years ending in either 1 or 6, which will be the case next year. While local boards vote on the regional presidents, their appointments are subject to approval by the Fed Board of Governors. Although the process is typically routine, unusual political dynamics on the board this year could add complexity.

Alongside the reappointments of regional presidents, Jerome Powell’s term as Fed chair is set to expire in May. However, his role as governor continues until 2028.

During his tenure, Bostic gained a reputation as a centrist. He has taken a cautious approach to interest rate cuts amid elevated inflation and a softening labor market. Notably, he is not an FOMC voter this year—Atlanta will next get a vote in 2027.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell praised Bostic, stating, “His perspective has enriched the Federal Open Market Committee’s understanding of our dynamic economy. And his steady voice has exemplified the best of public service grounded in analysis, informed by experience, and guided by purpose.”

Until Bostic’s successor is named, Cheryl Venable, the first vice president and chief operating officer at the Atlanta Fed, will serve as acting president.
