NoneThe Edmonton Oilers are finding their groove after a rocky start, stringing together victories that reflect a team starting to play up to its potential. With a recent 4-2 win over the St. Louis Blues , Edmonton has won five of its last six games, showing the firepower of its stars and the resilience of its supporting cast. The Oilers’ momentum is building. Oilers Connor McDavid’s Is on a Record-Breaking Pace Connor McDavid is at the heart of the Edmonton Oilers’ resurgence, whose recent play has been nothing short of extraordinary. McDavid’s 27 points over the last 13 games underline his dominance, while his 123 assists in the 2024 calendar year have drawn comparisons to legends like Mario Lemieux and Wayne Gretzky. Against the Blues, his unassisted goal exemplified his ability to capitalize on even the slightest defensive lapse, keeping opponents on constant alert. Zach Hyman’s return from an injury has been a game-changer. The forward has doubled his season goal total in just two games. That kind of success will push the team. Last season’s 50-goal scorer’s success will help everyone. He takes up space, and his net-front presence is something his team needs to score some easy goals close in. While McDavid and Leon Draisaitl lead the charge, the Oilers benefit from key contributions across the roster. Meanwhile, Stuart Skinner’s 29-save effort against St. Louis highlighted the team’s improving defensive play. These performances reflect the Oilers’ growing chemistry and success, which head coach Kris Knoblauch’s lineup adjustments fostered. The Oilers Are Engaging in a Collective Push for Consistency Edmonton’s recent success is not solely about individual brilliance. The Oilers are capitalizing on opponent mistakes and minimizing their own, signaling a shift in their ability to control games. A big home win further boosted their confidence, with players finding form at the right time. Maintaining this momentum and solidifying lineup consistency will be crucial if the Oilers hope to sustain their playoff push. With their stars leading the way and depth players stepping up, the Oilers are well-positioned to continue their ascent.

INDIANAPOLIS – When the concept of the NFL’s most dangerous offense is broached, the image that first comes to mind likely depends on the age of the beholder. It could be Dan Marino’s Miami Dolphins or perhaps Kurt Warner’s Los Angeles Rams. Maybe it’s Peyton Manning’s Indianapolis Colts or Tom Brady’s New England Patriots. For the youngest observers, it’s likely Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs. Each of those units – no matter the era in which they played – had one thing in common: an explosive passing game that put video game numbers on the stat sheet week in and week out. The Detroit Lions – this year’s highest scoring NFL offense – certainly have that capability. But this is a team that very much reflects the personality of its head coach – former NFL tight end Dan Campbell. In addition to the aerial exploits of quarterback Jared Goff and his fleet of receivers, the Lions (9-1) boast the league’s third-ranked rushing offense. Two players – Jahmyr Gibbs (796 yards, eight touchdowns) and David Montgomery (595 yards, 10 touchdowns) – already have surpassed the 500-yard rushing mark, and Detroit is not afraid to get down in the trenches and bully the opposition when the situation calls for it. “We had a joint practice what, two years ago with them, and I think what stood out is that they are a physical, tough team,” Colts defensive coordinator Gus Bradley said. “They come in with a mentality. So it starts with that. It comes from their head coach. He's done a great job with that culture. Then you look at their skillset, right? They've got two really good running backs. Their offensive line is – I mean compared to a lot of the great offensive lines that have played. “So up front, they can run the ball. They can protect. The quarterback is playing – I mean, if he has three incompletions in a game, that's a shocker to him. So they're just very effective. They're very efficient. They've got playmakers on the perimeter. ... If they don't score every series, they're upset. So very explosive that way, and it's a great challenge for us.” Indianapolis has won its last two meetings against Mahomes and the Chiefs in large part by being the more physical team on the field. The Colts ran the ball efficiently in both a 2019 victory at Arrowhead Stadium and a 2023 upset at Lucas Oil Stadium. That helped keep the Kansas City offense on the sideline, and the Indianapolis defense made some big plays at opportune times to further limit the damage. That won’t be a simple formula to replicate Sunday against the Lions. Detroit has the fifth-ranked run defense in terms of total yards and is 11th with an average of 4.3 yards allowed per carry. So keeping the ball out of the Lions’ hands will take significant effort. And when Detroit has possession, it’s absolutely lethal. The Lions average 33.6 points per game and have topped the 40-point barrier four times – including two 52-point showings in the past four weeks, against the Colts’ AFC South rivals Tennessee and Jacksonville. Detroit put up a massive 645 yards of total offense last week against the Jaguars, and its 46-point margin of victory marked the third time this year it has won by more than 35 points. This is domination often witnessed in the college game but rarely at the pro level. “Obviously, they play hard for all four quarters,” Indianapolis defensive tackle DeForest Buckner said. “They play really well together, especially offensively. On the offensive line, they do a really good job working with each other, communicating. They’ve got a lot of great skill players. They’ve probably got one of the best running back duos in the league. Obviously, Jared Goff is playing at a very high level. “So, defensively, we’ve got to be on a lot of our keys and our technique. We’ve just got to continue to communicate better and just make sure that everybody, especially in the run game, are in their gaps and their fits.” Left tackle Bernhard Raimann (knee) did not practice again Thursday, increasing the chances Indianapolis will again start three rookies on the offensive line. Right tackle Braden Smith (foot) was upgraded to full participation. Defensive end Tyquan Lewis (elbow) and wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (back) were full participants for the second straight day. Wide receiver Josh Downs (calf) and cornerback Kenny Moore II (knee) were added to the report but were full participants Thursday. Cornerback Terrion Arnold (groin) was added a limited participant for the Lions and was the only player on Detroit’s 53-man roster who was not a full participant.Couple charged in ring suspected of stealing $1 million in Lululemon clothes

Elon Musk’s preschool is the next step in his anti-woke education dreamsBoeing is resuming production of its bestselling plane, the 737 Max, for the first time since 33,000 workers began a seven-week strike that ended in early November. The company said Tuesday that plane-building resumed at its plant in Renton, Washington, after going through a process of training workers and identifying and fixing potential problems. Boeing shares rose 4.5%, their best single-day percentage gain in nearly four months. Production and deliveries of Max jets and another airline plane, the 787 Dreamliner, have been stopped several times in recent years to fix manufacturing flaws. “Our team has worked methodically to restart factory operations in the Pacific Northwest. We have now resumed 737 production in our Renton factory, with our Everett (Washington) programs on plan to follow in the days ahead," the company said in a statement. Boeing builds its 777 and 767 jets in Everett, north of Seattle. Separately, the company said it took orders for 49 planes in November but lost an order by U.K. carrier TUI for 14 Max jets. It delivered 13 planes, down from 56 a year earlier. Ever since a panel called a door plug blew off a Max operated by Alaska Airlines in January, the Federal Aviation Administration has capped Boeing’s production of Max jets to 38 per month. Boeing hopes to convince regulators that it has corrected quality and safety issues and can raise that number to 56 planes per month. Boeing has been losing money since 2019, after two Max jets crashed, killing 346 people. It needs the cash it earns from delivering new planes to begin digging out of a deep financial hole . New CEO Kelly Ortberg has announced plans to lay off about 17,000 workers and sell new stock to raise cash and prevent the company’s credit rating from sliding into junk status.Community gathers to distribute Of One Accord Christmas boxes

Home | Advertisement | Grt Jewellers Unveils New Rajahmundry Showroom With A Mixed Reality Print Ad GRT Jewellers unveils new Rajahmundry Showroom with a Mixed Reality Print Ad With more and more print advertising shifting to Mixed Reality (MR), Flam’s latest collaboration with GRT Jewellers showcases the jewelry designer’s new showroom in Rajahmundry. By Telangana Today Published Date - 22 November 2024, 11:20 PM Flam x GRT Jewellers: Experience Rajahmundry's new showroom with immersive MR technology! Rajahmundry: With more and more print advertising shifting to Mixed Reality (MR), Flam’s latest collaboration with GRT Jewellers showcases the jewelry designer’s new showroom in Rajahmundry. A leader in Mixed Reality Publishing, Flam, has been pushing advertising boundaries across mediums like Print, Digital, OOH (Out of Home) and Television. The print ad with the MR experience is live on three leading Telugu publications, namely, Eenadu, Sakshi, and Andhra Jyothi. Upon scanning, the ad transforms from a static to an immersive 3D experience that unveils the launch of the new showroom and the incredible offers for buyers present during the launch. The experience closes out with GRT’s brand film starring Trisha playing over a 3D model of the new showroom. In the experience, they’ve also added a CTA that functions as a Store Locator – a convenient feature for fewer drop-offs from the print ad. The collaboration between Flam and GRT Jewellers marks the beginning of a new phase of retail advertising. With MR experiences now incorporated into the mix, the ability to boost walk-ins stands at a much greater chance than static ads. Mixed Reality only adds to the age of diminishing attention spans, where capturing the hearts and minds of the audience has become more important and harder than ever. Compared to its media counterparts, MR offers a level of depth, interactivity, and enjoyability that turns an audience member into an active participant in the ad’s storytelling. This brings in the much-wanted domino effect of an ad creating a personal connection which turns curiosity into engagement and that engagement, finally into action. Shourya Agarwal, CEO at Flam said, “It’s been exciting to see the adoption for Mixed Reality and the push towards greater storytelling. Working with a legacy brand like GRT was not just incredible but it was gratifying to see their want to continuously innovate. In hindsight, the new GRT Jewellers Mixed Reality experience stands out more than a promotional tool—it is a step forward towards engaging audiences with better brand storytelling. It is now a gateway of what advertising can be with Flam’s new ‘3I’ approach—immersive, interactive and impactful. This shift in approach can bring about the change in the advertising landscape, one that is more inclusive and action driven–resulting in greater brand recall for brands across industries.

There's an element of 'Sliding Doors' to it and that stays with me - it makes me feel grateful every day." Jack struggled in school and admits that drama was the only subject he actually enjoyed. He shared: "I just couldn't sit still. I was a little show-off with nowhere to direct that energy in a conventional classroom environment. It wasn't that I was dumb, despite what my results might indicate." Jack now feels frustrated that the English school system doesn't support children with similar ambitions. He explained: "I definitely thrived. So thank Christ drama was on the curriculum and compulsory. That's no longer the case. It's a commentary on how the arts are viewed. It's very depressing." Jack has been "having conversations" with various people within the industry in order to instigate change. The actor explained: "That's the best way to effect change, rather than stand on a soapbox and complain. But things are getting worse and I don't think that's what we signed up to. That's not the social contract." Jack first gained recognition for playing James Cook in the hit TV series 'Skins' between 2009 and 2013. The teen drama also starred the likes of Nicholas Hoult, Dev Patel, and Kaya Scodelario, and Jack has likened the show to a university for young actors and actresses. Jack quipped: "It was our uni, just without the debt."
