LIVING ON THE EDGE: Do the Ottawa Senators need Brady Tkachuk to tone down his emotion?One in five Brits pick holiday destinations in the hope of seeing a . Travel agents say ET hotspots worldwide are rocketing in popularity. A new poll has revealed 28% of Brits believe in . One in five claims already to have seen a . A quarter admit they are more likely to visit destinations known for close encounters. While one in five say they are "eager to explore UFO hotspots this year". Online travel operator Opodo has identified 35 of the world’s leading UFO hotspots to offer alien-hunters the chance to combine "stunning natural beauty" with a `history of sightings’. No1 is The Valley of Fire in Nevada, US, where there have been 18 official UFO sightings. Most are described as "fireballs" and typically orange or green. Opodo says the state park "gives an extraterrestrial feel with its vibrant hues of red and orange along with the unique rock formations creating an otherworldly atmosphere reminiscent of Mercury’s rugged terrain". It is followed by Death Valley in California which boasts 17 sightings most of which are "oval" crafts. One account describes a "UFO that splits into two and later takes off emitting a blue streak". The desert valley is one of the hottest places on Earth. Vatnajökull Glacier in Iceland boasts 14 sightings most of which are reported as crafts. Renowned for its exceptional stargazing conditions visitors can experience breathtaking displays of the Northern Lights and - on clear nights without auroras - views of the Milky Way. An Opodo spokesman said: ``Over the past few years there has been a huge surge in interest in the extraterrestrial which has been driven by a combination of recent government disclosures and technological advances. "From the US declassifying reports and videos of UFO encounters to the upcoming launch of NASA’s Europa Clipper in October 2024, which aims to explore potential signs of life on Jupiter’s moon, the fascination with space and the unknown is reaching new heights.’" The tour operator polled 1,500 UK holidaymakers in a bid to understand the growing interest in extraterrestrial experiences. "The survey revealed that 28% of respondents believe in aliens,’’ the spokesman said. "One in five state they have seen a UFO with this number soaring to one in three for those under 34-years-old. "One in five holidaymakers are eager to explore UFO hotspots this year." A third of people believe they will be able to holiday in space within their lifetime and 11% would jump at the opportunity. The planets they would be most interested in visiting include Mars (23%), Saturn (8%) and Jupiter (7%). The survey comes after US defence chiefs finally admitted UFOs are reveal - though they said they had not found any evidence the mystery craft were controlled by extraterrestrials.Qatar tribune Khalid Tawalbeh Doha Marking a transformative milestone in Qatar’s innovation journey, Qatar Science & Technology Park (QSTP), a key pillar of Qatar Foundation (QF), inaugurated ‘AI Week 2024’ on Sunday.

ABILENE, Texas (AP) — Sam Hicks scored on a 53-yard run in the fourth quarter and finished with 171 yards on the ground to lead Abilene Christian to a 24-0 victory over Northern Arizona on Saturday in the first round of the FCS playoffs.

The Bison had a first-round bye. Abilene Christian grabbed a 7-0 lead on its second possession when Carson Haggard connected with Trey Cleveland for a 37-yard touchdown that capped a 10-play 97-yard drive. Northern Arizona (8-5), ranked 17th but unseeded for the playoffs after winning five straight to get in, picked off Haggard on the Wildcats' next two possessions but could not turn them into points. NAU went for it on fourth-and-goal at the 1-yard line with 9:30 left before halftime, but Jordan Mukes tackled Ty Pennington for a 4-yard loss. That led to a 46-yard field goal by Ritse Vaes and a 10-0 lead at halftime. The score remained the same until Hicks' big run with 10:16 left to play. Haggard passed 6 yards to Blayne Taylor for the final score with 2:16 to go. Haggard completed 23 of 29 passes for 244 yards with three interceptions. Abilene Christian's defense allowed at least 20 points in every game during the regular season and yielded at least 30 six times.

Illinois coach Brad Underwood believes in players pushing each other during practice to improve themselves and the team. That's why he often pits starting guards Kylan Boswell and Kasparas Jakucionis against each other in practice. Underwood figures if it worked for Ayo Dosunmu and Trent Frazier, why not his newest backcourt? So far, that method appears to be paying off again as Boswell and Jakucionis are keying a strong start for the No. 24 Fighting Illini (8-3). They'll shoot for a non-conference win Sunday afternoon when Chicago State (0-14) visits Champaign, Ill. Boswell and Jakucionis' imprints were all over Illinois' 80-77 Braggin' Rights win over Missouri in St. Louis on Dec. 22. They combined for 37 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists, with Jakucionis scoring 21 for his sixth straight game with at least 20 points. Underwood said pitting the two against each other in practice is a win-win. "I play them opposite each other so they can just exhaust each other and beat each other up," the coach said. Jakucionis, who averages a team-high 16.5 points a game on 46.8 percent shooting from the field, co-signs on that philosophy. "We elevate each other," he said. "In practice, we're pushing each other by defending and attacking each other. And it makes one another better each day and every day." Boswell adds 10.6 ppg to go with 3.5 assists, while teammates Tomislav Ivisic (13.9 ppg) and Will Riley (12.5) also are in double figures in scoring. Perhaps the best thing about this team is that it appears to have more ceiling left. Illinois is averaging 83.6 points a game without being efficient from the field (43.3 percent) or the 3-point line (32.3 percent). The Illini likely will find more efficiency against the winless Cougars, who are searching for answers and consistency in their first year as a member of the Northeast Conference. They haven't played since Dec. 21, when they fell 81-57 at Cal State Northridge. It was predictable that Chicago State would struggle. After earning 13 wins last season at a program that has had a hard time winning consistently, coach Gerald Gillion left to serve as Rod Strickland's lead assistant at Long Island. New Cougars coach Scott Spinelli, who worked under Mark Turgeon (Maryland) and Jim Christian (Boston College), not only had to replace most of his roster but brought a new style of play to town. Gillion played a methodical half-court game, and Spinelli is trying to play at a faster pace. "We want to have guys out there that can get up and down the floor," Spinelli said this past summer. That hasn't come to fruition yet. The Cougars are last in Division I in field-goal percentage at 35.1 and third from the bottom in scoring at 59.6 points per game. They also rank near the bottom in free-throw percentage, 3-point percentage, rebounding, assists and turnovers. Jalen Forrest is the team's leading scorer at 9.1 ppg but is shooting only 33.6 percent from the field. Cameron Jernigan averages a team-high 4.5 rebounds. --Field Level MediaFirefighters and passengers hurt after train hits fire truck on crossing
