QF’s QSTP engages int’l tech startups in 2nd GIL programmeThe Cowboys were already eliminated from playoff contention and without top receiver CeeDee Lamb with a shoulder injury, but it was their defense that struggled. Eagles starting quarter-back Jalen Hurts missed the game due to concussion. Kenny Pickett got the start but had to leave the game in the third quarter with a rib injury with Philadelphia 24-7 up. That meant third-choice Tanner McKee took over under the center and two of his four passes were for touchdowns. The real damage to the Cowboys, who gave up four turnovers, was done by the Eagles star running back Saquon Barkley who put up 167 yards on 31 carries to pass the 2,000 yard mark for the season. Barkley, who has 2,005 yards needs to put up 101 yards next week to break Eric Dickerson's record for the most rushing yards in a season, set for the Los Angeles Rams in 1984. The win means the Eagles are guaranteed at least the number two seed in the NFC. The Bills take the second seed in the AFC, behind the Kansas City Chiefs, after taking care of business against the New York Jets. The Bills led 12-0 at the half before their quarterback Josh Allen took total control of the game with touchdown passes to Amari Cooper and Keon Coleman either side of a rushing score from James Cook. Allen, who threw for 182 yards, had opened the scoring with a one-yard rush. Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw two interceptions and was sacked four times. The Indianapolis Colts were eliminated from playoff contention after falling 45-33 to the 3-13 New York Giants. While the Giants had nothing to play for, quarterback Drew Lock enjoyed himself -- he matched his career high of four touchdown passes and rushed for another score as the Giants ended their 10-game losing streak. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers kept their post-season hopes alive as Baker Mayfield threw for 359 yards and five touchdowns in a 48-14 rout of the Carolina Panthers. Later on Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings, searching for the top seed in the NFC, take on NFC North divisional rivals the Green Bay Packers. The Washington Commanders would book a playoff berth if they can beat the Atlanta Falcons in Sunday night's game. sev/bb

The AFC playoff picture is becoming clearer and clearer as the 2024 NFL season winds to a close, but the final spot in the seven-team field won't be decided until Week 18 . The Denver Broncos had a chance to secure the seventh and final spot in the AFC postseason field during their Saturday matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals . A victory would have guaranteed the Broncos passage to the postseason while eliminating the Bengals , Indianapolis Colts and Miami Dolphins . However, Joe Burrow 's Bengals outlasted the Broncos in a 30-24 overtime victory . This result allowed the Colts and Dolphins to tighten the race for the No. 7 seed. The Colts failed to take advantage of the opportunity. They lost 45-33 to the New York Giants , who entered the day as the lone remaining two-win team in the NFL. That knocked Indianapolis out of playoff contention. Now, it's just a three-team race for the No. 7 seed, while other teams, like the Buffalo Bills , locked themselves into top seeds for the postseason. NFL STATS CENTRAL: The latest NFL scores, schedules, odds, stats and more. Here's what to know about the AFC playoff picture as Week 17 action winds down. SAQUON BARKLEY: Eagles RB eclipses 2,000 rushing yards, nears NFL's single-season record AFC playoff picture Below is a look at where the AFC playoff picture stands with just a few games remaining in Week 17: AFC In the hunt : Cincinnati Bengals (8-8), Miami Dolphins (7-8). There are two notable changes in the AFC playoff picture coming out of Week 17. First, the Bills officially clinched the No. 2 seed in the conference. That guarantees Buffalo home-field advantage for the first two rounds of the playoffs at the very least, which could prove beneficial for Josh Allen and Co. The more impactful development is that the Colts' loss to the Giants eliminated them from playoff contention. The Colts were a longshot to make the postseason – they needed the Broncos to lose and either the Bengals, Dolphins or both to win out – but the Bengals' win over the Broncos inspired hope that Indianapolis could potentially unseat Denver. After all, the Colts were playing the NFL's easiest schedule over the season's final two weeks while the Broncos were facing one of the league's hardest. Instead, the Colts lost. That opens the door for either the Dolphins or Bengals to challenge the Broncos if Denver stumbles in its Week 18 game against Kansas City. NFL PLAYOFF PICTURE WEEK 17: Eagles clinch NFC East, Rams close on NFC West title Who will be the AFC's 7 seed in the NFL playoffs? The Broncos, Dolphins, and Bengals are the three options for the No. 7 seed in the AFC bracket. Below is a look at their chances of making the postseason, per ESPN's live playoff projection model . That data is subject to change pending the result of Miami's matchup with the Cleveland Browns on Sunday afternoon.

Barcelona, which has already taken action to stop the spread of holiday rental apartments, is the latest Spanish city to see protests for cheaper housing. Backed by left-wing parties and unions, the demonstrators gathered in central Barcelona behind a giant banner declaring "Lower the rents". "Today a new political cycle starts concerning housing," Carme Arcarazo, spokesperson for the Catalan Tenants Union, the main organiser, told reporters. "Investors must not be allowed to come to our cities and play with the apartments like a game of Monopoly," she added. The union would target "profiteers" who are taking "half of our salaries", Arcarazo said. The demonstrators demanded a 50 percent cut in rents, leases with an unlimited term and a ban on "speculative" sales of buildings. They threatened to start a rent strike. An estimated 22,000 people took part in a similar demonstration in Madrid on October 13. Campaigns have been launched in other cities. According to the Idealista specialised website, rental prices per square metre have risen 82 percent across Spain over the past decade. The average salary has gone up by 17 percent in that time, according to the national statistics institute. Facing pressure over a housing crisis, the government in 2023 passed legislation calling for more social housing, greater restrictions on rents in high demand areas and penalties for owners who do not occupy properties. But rents have continued to rise while the government has battled city and regional authorities to get some parts of the law applied. vid-vab/tw/jm

UCF will attempt to shake off a dreadful offensive performance when it collides with LSU on Sunday afternoon in the third-place game of the Greenbrier Tip-Off in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va. The Knights (4-1) couldn't get anything going against No. 19 Wisconsin on Friday, going 21-for-62 from the field (33.9 percent) and just 2-for-17 from 3-point range (11.8 percent) en route to an 86-70 loss. Jordan Ivy-Curry finished with 13 points while Keyshawn Hall and Dior Johnson added 11 apiece for UCF, which never led and fell behind by as many as 23. Knights coach Johnny Dawkins is hoping that his team's struggles don't carry over into the meeting with the Tigers (4-1). "We have to do better offensively," Dawkins said. "We have to space the floor better. We have to balance our offense between our perimeter and our bigs. Those are things that we didn't do consistently (on Friday)." LSU also needs to clean things up after committing 15 turnovers in a 74-63 setback against Pitt on Friday. Tigers forward Jalen Reed doesn't believe giving the ball away will be a lingering issue. "I feel like a lot of our turnovers were more on us than them," Reed said. "I feel like a lot of the turnovers were careless, but we're a better team than that and I feel like we'll take care of the ball better moving forward." Reed and Vyctorius Miller each posted 14 points in the loss to the Panthers, with Reed also hauling in seven rebounds. Cam Carter chipped in 11 points. Carter is putting up a team-leading 16.4 points per game. Jordan Sears (12.0 points per game), Reed (11.0) and Miller (10.2) also have scoring averages in double figures. Ivy-Curry (16.8 points per game), Hall (16.2) and Darius Johnson (13.0) have been leading the way for UCF. Sunday marks the first-ever meeting between the Knights and Tigers. --Field Level MediaThe reMarkable Paper Pro Is Bigger, Faster, More Colorful - Forbes
World leaders took to social media to pay their condolences to former U.S. president and humanitarian Jimmy Carter, who died Sunday at the age of 100. “Over six decades, we had the honor of calling Jimmy Carter a dear friend,” U.S. president Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden said in a statement posted on X . “With his compassion and moral clarity, he worked to eradicate disease, forge peace, advance civil rights and human rights, promote free and fair elections, house the homeless, and always advocate for the least among us,” the Bidens’ statement continued. “He was a man of great character and courage, hope and optimism.” Biden will order an official state funeral for Carter in Washington, D.C., the statement added. In a post on Truth Social , U.S. president-elect Donald Trump said, “Those of us who have been fortunate to have served as President understand this is a very exclusive club, and only we can relate to the enormous responsibility of leading the Greatest Nation in History.” Trump added Carter “did everything in his power to improve the lives of all Americans.” “Jimmy Carter’s legacy is one of compassion, kindness, empathy, and hard work. He served others both at home and around the world his entire life — and he loved doing it. He was always thoughtful and generous with his advice to me,” prime minister Justin Trudeau said in a post on X . “May his selfless service continue to inspire us all for years to come.” “Elected in the shadow of Watergate, Jimmy Carter promised voters that he would always tell the truth. And he did — advocating for the public good, consequences be damned,” former U.S. president Barack Obama said in a statement posted on Medium . “Maranatha Baptist Church will be a little quieter on Sundays, but President Carter will never be far away — buried alongside Rosalynn next to a willow tree down the road, his memory calling all of us to heed our better angels.” Carter “worked tirelessly for a better, fairer world,” former U.S. president Bill Clinton and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton said in a joint statement on X . “Hillary and I met President Carter in 1975 and were proud, early supporters of his Presidential campaign,” the Clintons’ post said. “Our prayers are with Jack, Chip, Jeff, Amy, and their families.” “Throughout his life, Jimmy Carter has been a steadfast advocate for the rights of the most vulnerable and has tirelessly fought for peace,” French president Emmanuel Macron said in a post on X . “France sends its heartfelt thoughts to his family and to the American people.” In a post on X , NDP leader Jagmeet Singh said Carter was a “Nobel Peace Prize winner, peacemaker, lifelong humanitarian and a tireless worker for Habitat for Humanity ... whose actions matched his values.” “Our thoughts and condolences are with his family, his loved ones and all Americans,” Singh added.
UCF, LSU face off with improved focus in mind
Watch for the HBO Original comedy special “James Acaster: Hecklers Welcome,” set to debut on Saturday, Nov. 23 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. According to the website, this is Acaster’s first HBO special in which the comedian explores his love/hate relationship with standup — while he welcomes a heckle or two by relinquishing control of his set and accepting a healthy dose of audience interference – a/k/a heckling. With a keen eye and unparalleled wit, Acaster shares hilarious “meta-analysis” of his own material, along with stories from his childhood that spurred him to pursue a career in comedy – from his participation in his grandmother’s spinning wheel workshop at school to his impersonation of Prince Charles at age six. HOW TO WATCH AND STREAM THE SPECIAL The presentation is set to debut Saturday, Nov. 23 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on HBO. If you don’t have a cable subscription to HBO, the special is available to stream on Max. If you’re not already a subscriber to Max, the cheapest way to see the special is via a one-month subscription for just $9.99. A LITTLE SNEAK PEEK MORE ON THE SHOW In front of a live audience at the Royal & Derngate theatre in Northampton, England, Acaster unleashes his infectious energy as he delves into what initially drew him to the stage and what keeps him there. “Performing in the round, in a theatre I went to growing up, with the audience chipping in whenever they felt like it, meant this was the most I’ve enjoyed filming a special, and I’m delighted it’s coming to HBO,” said Acaster. “Also I jumped onto the stage via a trampoline and I don’t want that to go unacknowledged.” Nina Rosenstein, executive vice president, HBO Programming, Late Night & Specials, notes, “We’re longtime fans of James and are so thrilled to work with him. This special is a bold concept — not many comedians would allow hecklers at their shows; fewer still would openly encourage them to interrupt a live taping of their set, but James has never been one to approach his comedy in a traditional way. Filmed in his hometown somewhere in the middle of England, HECKLERS WELCOME is a hilarious and brilliantly strange hour where James examines his complicated relationship with comedy.” A LITTLE ABOUT ACASTER A master at what he does best, Acaster has received critical acclaim from around the world, including a record-breaking five consecutive nominations for Best Comedy Show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festivals from 2012-2016. In 2017, he toured the country with a three-show trilogy, “Recognise,” “Represent,” and “Reset,” performing consecutively over three nights in each venue. In 2019 he completed a long tour of his successful show “Cold Lasagne Hate Myself 1999′′ around the UK, Australia, and America. Acaster is also a Sunday Times bestselling author, with “Classic Scrapes,” “Perfect Sound Whatever,” and his most recent book, “James Acaster’s Guide to Quitting Social Media.” He also has three hit podcasts: “Off Menu,” which he co-hosts with Ed Gamble, “Perfect Sounds,” and his latest release, “Springleaf,” which he wrote and stars.
