    France to deploy 70,000 police as protests follow weekend riots

    France is set to mobilize approximately 70,000 police officers across the country on Saturday, following incidents of rioting and looting that occurred during protests last weekend. Interior Minister Laurent Nunez stated the operation would involve specialized units typically deployed for counterterrorism and hostage situations, as well as water cannons, armored vehicles, mounted officers, helicopters, and drones. He noted that social media had been used to incite violence and emphasized that police would act decisively. The government has admitted it lost control during the extensive unrest on Saturday, which came after mostly peaceful demonstrations and impacted cities such as Paris, Marseille, Lyon, and others. In Limoges, the town hall was torched and partially destroyed. Demonstrations are anticipated nationwide in France, though numerous cities have either prohibited them or imposed limitations on their paths. Paris has permitted a union procession along a restricted route in the eastern part of the capital, while other requests for gatherings were denied. The student organization UNEF announced it would proceed with its protests regardless, and the gilets jaunes movement is organizing 600 small events across the country. Union representatives and political opponents condemned the restrictions; CFDT head Marylise Léon described them as misuse of power. Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin reported that 217 individuals had been imprisoned since Saturday, half of whom were first-time offenders. Meanwhile, a shooting in Trappes on Friday resulted in one fatality and four injuries, including a 12-year-old girl. Authorities indicated that racial motivation may have been a factor. https://onlinemalumat.com/en/france-to-deploy-70000-police-across-country-on-saturday-to-prevent-unrest-29057

    How parents and adult children can make living together work

    An increasing number of grown-ups are residing with their parents, whether they're seeking employment, saving for a house, newly divorced, or continuing their education. In 2025, 35% of men and 22% of women aged 20 to 34 were living at home, per the Office for National Statistics. Specialists suggest that establishing clear expectations from the start can ease cohabitation: talk about how long the living situation might continue, who will handle expenses and chores, rules around guests, noise levels, and personal space. Parenting expert Anita Cleare suggests approaching the situation more like sharing a home with a roommate, focusing on open communication and collaborative solutions rather than strict regulations. She emphasizes that parents should welcome their adult children while also safeguarding their own well-being. Sue Atkins recommends addressing challenging issues calmly, noting that parents can offer support to their grown children without stepping in too much or giving unwanted advice. Families might also set practical agreements, such as where personal items will be stored and how much advance notice is required before someone brings a guest over. The article highlights that there isn't one universal approach that fits all; what's essential is establishing boundaries early on and ensuring that all parties clearly understand them. https://onlinemalumat.com/en/crowded-nest-how-parents-and-their-adult-kids-can-live-together-in-peace-29017

    AI facial-age model linked to cancer survival in some groups

    Researchers at Mass General Brigham have developed an AI system that uses facial images to estimate biological age and assess survival in people with cancer. The system, called FAHR-Face, was trained on more than 40 million facial images. Its cancer-survival model used almost 35,000 photos of cancer patients. In the study, AI-estimated facial age was significantly associated with survival in 18 of 28 cancer categories. That means the association was found in some cancer groups, but not all; it does not show that a selfie can reliably predict an individual patient’s future. The findings are preliminary. The study used retrospective data, and researchers say the tool still needs to be tested against doctors’ judgments and across hospitals and patient groups. After adjustment for other factors, facial age was not significantly associated with survival for Black patients. The article also notes that lighting, camera angle, expression and cosmetic procedures can affect how a face looks. A public project website currently reports biological age, and its consent forms say uploaded selfies also become part of the study. The author cautions that this measure should not be taken as a reliable assessment of overall health. https://onlinemalumat.com/en/can-ai-really-predict-cancer-survival-better-than-a-doctor-i-have-my-doubts-devi-sridhar-28866

    Bonnie Garmus wrote her first novel at 12, but it remains unpublished

    Novelist Bonnie Garmus credits her passion for books to when she was four years old. Her father introduced her to words from *Fun With Dick and Jane* by writing them on a chalkboard. She committed them to memory and then recited them back to him, which she describes as feeling like a magical moment. When she turned five, Garmus created a one-page story complete with an illustration. By the time she was twelve, she had completed a full-length novel. Neither of those works has found a publisher, she notes, joking that all offers are being considered. Garmus credits *Harriet the Spy* with encouraging her to start writing things down, while *To Kill a Mockingbird* had a major influence on her worldview during her teenage years. At eighteen, she was drawn to Henry David Thoreau’s *Walden* because of her passion for nature and thirst for adventure, even though she admits she ended up practicing intentional living in a cramped, loud apartment. Much later, while hiking in Nepal’s Annapurna region, she came across *Little Women* again and read it by candlelight. She also admires *The Virgin Suicides* and Joan Didion’s essays, and mentions that she is now working through *May We Feed the King* by Rebecca Perry. https://onlinemalumat.com/en/lessons-in-chemistry-author-bonnie-garmus-i-wrote-my-first-novel-at-12-it-has-not-yet-found-a-publisher-28654

    BitGo launches research unit focused on AI and crypto

    BitGo has introduced BitGo Labs, a research and innovation division aimed at creating new applications for digital assets. This division will initially focus on the overlap between artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency. According to BitGo, the AI economy requires crypto-based financial systems to enable micropayments, fast settlements, and secure asset management. Among its initial initiatives is Gokubu, a consumer application that utilizes an AI-driven card to enhance spending efficiency. The app is already available and provides users with a customized AI financial assistant designed to assist them in earning better rewards and maximizing the value of their transactions. BitGo states that Labs will also release research, develop prototype protocols and reference implementations, and collaborate with developers, scholars, and organizations in the crypto and AI fields. In a previous conversation with The Block, BitGo CEO Mike Belshe noted that AI agents are highly likely to adopt stablecoins as their primary currency. He further remarked that humans may retain control over AI for a longer period than some anticipate. Belshe was addressing a viewpoint from Maelstrom CIO Arthur Hayes, who argued that stablecoins and other digital assets cannot function as native currencies for AI agents due to their inability to be directly converted into computational power. According to Belshe, these agents could transact with each other using a selected form of value while still engaging with human-operated systems. https://onlinemalumat.com/en/bitgo-launches-innovation-unit-to-design-cryptos-next-breakout-application-28785

    Bend teacher says she was shot before she could act, then feigned death

    Becky Drury, an educator who suffered severe injuries during a violent incident at a primary school in Bend, Oregon, revealed that she was shot before she could take action. In remarks shared on Wednesday, Drury explained that she spotted the attacker, rushed back into her classroom, and was fired upon at close range while attempting to block the door. She described how her left hand was nearly severed and her other arm badly damaged. Unable to move or shield others, she feigned death in the hope that the shooter would stop firing. Authorities report that Griffin J. John II, a 16-year-old former student who was in possession of a shotgun, entered Silver Rail Elementary and fired shots at six individuals. The incident resulted in the death of teacher Megan Lambert, 25, as well as three students, among them a five-year-old named Rhoam Summer. Drury and another child, seven years old, named Saylor Graham, were also injured. A teacher attempted to stop John by hurling a phone at him and then physically subdued him; a parent then shot and killed the teenager. Drury clarified that her version of events did not match some accounts suggesting she had thrown herself over a student for protection, emphasizing the need for an accurate portrayal of her actions. Schools in Bend are starting to resume operations, and the investigation into the shooting is ongoing. Officials confirmed the shotgun involved was acquired through legal means. https://onlinemalumat.com/en/teacher-wounded-in-oregon-school-shooting-played-dead-after-she-was-shot-28750

    Sacha Baron Cohen brings Ali G back in a hoax-driven satire

    Sacha Baron Cohen revives Ali G in “Ali G: Who Iz I?”, a follow-up that functions more as a collection of extravagant hoaxes than a continuing narrative. The movie depicts Ali as faded, broke and out of favor. When an old fax machine delivers a proposal from HBO for a new series, he and his pregnant girlfriend, Julie, travel to the United States to pull off pranks. The review notes that the film mocks anti-woke free-speech proponents and cultural appropriation, employing crude, frequently gross-out comedy. Among its targets are well-known individuals, whose names the review keeps confidential. Two additional figures appear in the film: Erran Morad, a menacing Mossad and IDF officer who has become a U.S. security consultant, and Dr. Nira Cain-N’Degrocello, a self-proclaimed adversary of cultural appropriation. The review notes that the movie’s fictionalized climax employs body doubles and seemingly hidden reshoots, yet it constantly feels the need to clarify which characters are aware of the deception. It finds certain scenes amusing, though contends that the satire doesn’t deliver a significant blow to a high-profile figure like the *Borat* sequel achieved. “Ali G: Who Iz I?” is set for release on October 22 in Australia and October 23 in the U.K. and U.S. https://onlinemalumat.com/en/ali-g-who-iz-i-review-sacha-baron-cohens-high-stakes-satire-punches-up-and-down-with-spectacular-bad-taste-28422

    Ilhan Omar says home raid was meant to intimidate her

    Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar denied allegations of immigration fraud during an interview with MS Now, her first interview since federal agents searched her home on October 12. Omar said the claims include allegations that she was part of a sham marriage with her brother and fudged details on immigration paperwork. She told host Chris Hayes that rumors about her brother first surfaced on a Somali blog before spreading among right-wing conspiracy theorists in Minneapolis. Omar said she believes the raid was carried out to appease supporters of President Donald Trump. Omar said about 10 to 15 Homeland Security Investigations agents arrived at 6 a.m. and executed a search warrant. After searching room by room for nearly five hours, they took 17 items, including several phones, she said. Omar said she believes the early arrival was intended to intimidate her. Trump has repeatedly criticized her, and on Tuesday called her “a sick, very dishonest person who hates our country.” Asked whether she could face deportation over alleged misstatements in her paperwork, he said she could be deported or go to jail. Omar said she has a legal right to serve in Congress. https://onlinemalumat.com/en/ilhan-omar-says-us-agents-seized-17-items-in-raid-designed-to-freak-her-out-28281
