The Montreal Alouettes have listed Cody Fajardo as their starting quarterback for Saturday’s regular season finale against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats despite the game meaning nothing in the standings.

The rest of the club’s lineup has remained mostly intact, though rookie Shedler Fervius will start over veteran slotback Jake Harty. The two teams met in last year’s East Semi-Final with the Alouettes coming out victorious by a score of 28-17. The Alouettes (10-7) will host the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (8-9) on Saturday, Oct. 28 with kickoff slated for 4:00 p.m. EDT.

Rupee resists larger losses
Pakistani currency maintained its downtrend for the fourth consecutive day on Thursday but it resisted larger losses, signalling that the market would stabilise around Rs280 against the US dollar in inter-bank dealings. The uptick in demand for the US dollar and the downtick in foreign currency reserves came after the government let foreign companies send profits and dividends to their headquarters abroad. Market talk suggests that the demand for dollars surpassed their supply because the foreign currency was required to pay for imports and repay foreign debt. In open market, the rupee remained unchanged at Rs282/$ for the second consecutive day, according to the Exchange Companies Association of Pakistan. Besides, the rupee depreciation and uptick in gold demand forced the pricing committee to revise up the rate.

Kangana stands with Israel, claims they are fighting 'terrorists'
In a surprising move, Indian actor Kangana Ranaut has openly displayed her support for Israel. This move has ignited a new wave of controversy amidst the ongoing wave of attacks by Israel on Palestine. This comes at a time when many right-wing Indians have already been vocal about their support for Israel on social media. As the world watches these events unfold, Ranaut's public endorsement of Israel has drawn both support and criticism. A translation of her text in Hindi further reads, "Today the whole world, especially Israel and India are fighting their war against terrorism.

BYU Roundtable: How long can the Longhorns survive without Quinn Ewers?
Cameron Parker (@camerondparker) - I’ll say the secondary because I think the Longhorn's run game will be good enough for Maalik or Arch to lean on. I think they’ll be able to handle BYU without Watts, Catalan, and Barron but Kansas State could be a real problem. Sark said on Thursday that Maalik Murphy will be the starter against BYU with Ewers officially out. Will Texas avoid an upset to BYU or will the ghost of Taysom Hill plague the Longhorns? Texas 35-BYU 14Cameron (5-2) - Texas 31, BYU 13.

Peaceful Resolve
The year 1949 marked a crucial turning point when the United Nations passed a resolution laying the groundwork for the settlement of this protracted conflict. The United Nations Commission for India and Pakistan (UNCIP) played a pivotal role by adopting resolutions on August 13, 1948, and January 5, 1949. Thousands of Kashmiris, including prominent leaders like Masarrat Aalam Butt, Shabbir Ahmad Shah, and Aasiya Andrabi, are unjustly detained in Indian prisons, while the rest suffer under the weight of Indian state terrorism. The UNCIP resolution of January 5, 1949, authorised the people of Jammu and Kashmir to hold a free and UN-supervised plebiscite. Jammu and Kashmir is now undergoing a disturbing transformation into an Indian settler-colonial and apartheid project, mirroring the Israeli model.

Inefficient CPPs chosen for subsidies
FESCO, LESCO, and IESCO jointly contribute Rs156 billion towards the government’s subsidy policy, while the remaining XWDISCOS consume a total of Rs314 billion in subsidies. PHOTO: fileIn a shocking revelation, it has been disclosed that inefficient captive power plants (CPPs) in Pakistan have been absorbing a significant portion of subsidies, contributing to the growing subsidy burden in the power sector. He explained that customers of Faisalabad Electric Supply Company (FESCO), Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO), and Islamabad Electric Supply Company (IESCO) are effectively subsidising the entire power sector within the service areas of these distribution companies (XWDISCOS). FESCO, LESCO, and IESCO jointly contribute Rs156 billion towards the government’s subsidy policy, while the remaining XWDISCOS, including Quetta Electric Supply Company (QESCO), Sukkur Electric Power Company (SEPCO), Hyderabad Electric Supply Company (HESCO), Multan Electric Power Company (MEPCO), Gujranwala Electric Power Company (GEPCO), Peshawar Electric Power Company (PESCO), and Tribal Electric Supply Company (TESCO), consume a total of Rs314 billion in subsidies. Supplying RLNG to KE has enabled the government to divert cheaper indigenous gas to inefficient captive and export-oriented private units.
