Dear Eric: I’ve struggled with a mild autoimmune condition for the last three decades that would flare from time to time. Normal life is difficult during the flares, especially while raising a family and running a business with my husband. About five years ago, I got extremely sick, and it just got worse and worse. I’m trying to heal and, most of all, trying to make the most of every day I have even if I don’t. We don’t understand her behavior and we don’t know what else we can do.
More than 100 former employees of Social Islami Bank Ltd (SIBL) have joined a human-chain protest in Chattogram in a bid to get their jobs back. Speakers at the protest described the termination of 672 employees without notice as ‘unfair’.

On Oct 31, the bank issued termination letters to several employees.

Every four years, the international media works itself into a frenzy over the fate of the US presidential race. The election determines the US president, often seen as one of the most influential leaders in the world. However, while the US election symbolises democratic norms, other American polls, like the midterm election of Congress's lower house – the House of Representatives - hold less significance and do not substantially impact international politics. When India held its 19th election last May, there was some stir in the realm of international politics. Despite the scope and competitiveness of the polls, the international media attention given to the Indian election is much more limited than the US polls.
Field hockey suffered a tough loss to No. The Red wrapped up the season at Boston University on Sunday with a 2-1 win over the Terriers. Both goals were credited to freshman forward Uma Käding, giving her a team-leading six goals on the season. But with so many young underclassmen gaining experience this season against tough teams, the Red is confident that it will perform next season. Cornell will return to the field in the fall of 2025 with seven starters, 12 letter winners and a new opportunity to showcase its talent.
REUTERSA Palestinian woman carries her child near the ruins of a house destroyed in the Israeli military offensive, amid the Israel-Hamas conflict, in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, November 4, 2024. Another strike killed four people in Zawayda in the central Gaza Strip while five more were killed in separate strikes in central and southern parts of the enclave, medics told Reuters. An Israeli government spokesman said no limit had been imposed on aid entering Gaza, with 47 aid trucks entering northern Gaza on Sunday alone. Israeli statistics reviewed by Reuters last week showed that aid shipments allowed into Gaza in October remained at their lowest levels since October 2023. Later, a Hamas commander in Lebanon - killed in an Israeli strike - was found to have had an UNRWA job.
Reliance Industries' boss Ambani hasn't updated his IPO timelines after saying in 2019 that Reliance Jio and Reliance Retail would "move towards" a listing within five years. The two sources said Reliance has now firmed up plans to launch the Reliance Jio IPO in 2025 as it internally believes it has achieved a stable business and revenue stream in becoming India's No. But the retail business IPO is not expected until after 2025 as the company first needs to address some internal business and operational challenges, said the first source. Reliance, however, aims for the 2025 Jio IPO to be India's biggest ever, overtaking Hyundai India's record $3.3 billion IPO this year, said the first source. Reliance Retail sold around a 12% stake to foreign investors over the same period and raised $7.44 billion.
