The fight against the bird in the Astral Academy can be a tough one to get down right away. Luckily we’ve got a method that makes this boss fight much more of a walk in the park, as long as you’ve got a little bit of patience. How to beat the bird in the Astral Academy The fight begins with the bird generating several spinning circles of fire that you’ve encountered on the path toward this boss room. The fire will spawn in the direction that you’re either standing in or moving toward. This makes it difficult to try to go for attacks on the bird, so you’ll want to primarily focus on just avoiding the fire for now, but you can go for an attack if you happen to be within a close enough distance after dodging. For the bird’s next attack, it transforms into a barrage of papers that fly toward you fairly quickly, along with a line of books that either fall or fly up toward you. You’ll need to Paint Dive through the papers and the books. You don’t need to worry about landing on a platform after diving, as falling off the map will just make you respawn on the last platform you touched and won’t take any health. You can even use that to your advantage, since you do get a brief period of invulnerability after respawning. After this series of attacks ends, the bird will surround itself with sheets of paper, using them to throw paper planes at you one by one. As the bird is shooting its paper planes, it will be encircling the room, stopping briefly at each of the four corner platforms. This is where you’ll have the safest opportunity to attack. At this point, you should have the Paint Clone ability, in which you place down a painted version of yourself that can be exploded to deal damage. Place a Paint Clone at the opposite end of the room from the bird. Then, wait for the bird to move close to the clone and detonate it. This is the safest way to attack since you can easily dodge the paper planes, and the bird’s movements are extremely predictable. Once you’ve done enough damage, the bird will fly up, and a few portal hook points will spawn in the air. You’ll need to figure out the correct order to Paint Stroke through each of these portals until you get high enough to use Paint Stroke through the bird, after which, it will fall to the ground, allowing you to get a few hits in. A good way to get even more damage here is to drop a Paint Clone on the middle platform before launching through the portals, and detonate it when the bird falls down. That way, you can get your few hits in on top of the extra damage from the Paint Clone explosion. This process will repeat a few times. Just keep following the method above for each attack, and you’ll eventually see that sweet victory screen.

Toto Wolff consoles George Russell after a missed opportunity at the F1 Las Vegas GP
Mercedes star George Russell finished on the podium at the 2025 Las Vegas GP after starting the race in P4. The Briton could’ve finished P2 at the street race as Lando Norris faced an issue in the last couple of laps. Team Principal Toto Wolff took to the team radio and consoled Russell after the missed opportunity. George Russell qualified P4 and was able to get up into P2 after an amazing start. The Briton ran in P2 for the first stint but was later overtaken by Lando Norris. With Max Verstappen being the last driver who started on the medium to pit, the Dutchman came out just a second ahead of Russell. The Briton pushed his Mercedes on older, but up to temperature tires in an attempt to overtake the Red Bull driver, but wasn’t able to do the same. After following Max Verstappen for a couple of laps, George Russell fell back and was then passed by Lando Norris. Russell took to the team radio and explained how he damaged his tires while pushing in an attempt to overtake Max Verstappen. In the last couple of laps at the Las Vegas GP, Lando Norris was instructed by the team to lift and coast to the finish line following what was a suspected brake issue. George Russell was just a few seconds behind Norris, and Mercedes Boss Toto Wolff took to the team radio to console his driver after the missed opportunity. “George, Congratulations on the podium. Really good. I agree with you. Probably those two laps with Verstappen, that’s what did the damage. But a podium is a podium,” said Toto Wolff “Exactly, can’t change the result,” responded Russell Had the Briton not pushed as hard to overtake Max, better tires would’ve likely meant that he finished ahead of Norris. George Russell nursed a steering issue at the Las Vegas GP Whilst running P2 at the Las Vegas GP, George Russell took to the team radio and complained about a “steering issue” on Lap 14. The Briton nursed the same issue throughout the race and likely lost multiple tenths every lap. During the post-race interview, Russell was questioned by David Coulthard about the steering issue and whether the Mercedes driver nursed the same throughout the race. George Russell replied, “Yeah, it was there throughout.” However, Russell detailed how it was the tire situation which hurt him more than the steering wheel issue, as he added, “Honestly it was the tires. When Max made the pit, I thought I had a chance, he had the cold tires and I really pushed hard and damaged the tires. There on in I was on the team radio saying ‘I’m not sure this tire is going to make it to the end. Really difficult.” Russell’s teammate, Kimi Antonelli, finished the race in P4 on track, and was demoted to P5 after the time penalty for the false start was applied.

Cowboys Get Major Update on 3 Key Injured Players Ahead of Raiders Game
The Dallas Cowboys enjoyed a much-needed week off in Week 10, but they will be back in action in Week 11. When they return to the field, the team will have a great opportunity to get back in the win column, as they will be taking on the lowly Las Vegas Raiders. However, there are some injury situations worth monitoring ahead of this game.
In Week 9, the Cowboys thought they were in good shape against the Arizona Cardinals but ended up suffering a 27-17 loss. It’s clear this team needs all hands on deck for every game moving forward. With that in mind, Dallas received a trio of important injury updates regarding safeties Malik Hooker and Donovan Wilson, as well as defensive tackle Solomon Thomas, on Saturday.
### Cowboys Get Mixed Bag of Injury Updates
For much of the 2025 campaign, the Cowboys’ defense has been in the spotlight for reasons beyond their control. This is largely due to Jerry Jones’ surprising decision to trade the unit’s best player, Micah Parsons, to the Green Bay Packers right before the start of the season. As a result, the defense has been fighting just to stay afloat this year—and so far, that’s a fight they aren’t winning.
Dallas’ defense has arguably been the worst unit in the league for multiple reasons. Without a true No. 1 pass rusher, the Cowboys are struggling to get to the quarterback. This has put more pressure on a beat-up secondary to hold up in coverage, which they have not been able to do consistently.
Staying healthy is a big piece of the puzzle right now, and the team’s bye week provided a chance to give some key players a bit of rest. In the secondary, that should help both Hooker and Wilson get back on the field. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for Thomas, who is expected to miss the upcoming game with a calf injury.
“DT Solomon Thomas (calf) unlikely to play,” Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram shared in a post on X. “Safeties Malik Hooker and Donovan Wilson ‘trending toward playing.’”
### Cowboys Need to Beat Raiders to Keep Slim Playoff Hopes Alive
At the NFL trade deadline, the Cowboys made a pair of moves to bolster their defense, acquiring defensive tackle Quinnen Williams and linebacker Logan Wilson. Both players are expected to play significant roles immediately, especially Williams, given Thomas’s expected absence for this game.
If there’s a team that has been worse than Dallas this season, it’s the Las Vegas Raiders. This should give the well-rested Cowboys a solid chance to come out on top. However, as we saw in Week 9, nothing is guaranteed in the NFL, even when one team appears to be a significant favorite over the other.
For the second straight game, Dallas will be playing on Monday Night Football. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET. This game represents a crucial opportunity for the Cowboys to bounce back and keep their slim playoff hopes alive.

Rob Gronkowski to officially retire from NFL with ceremonial one-day Patriots contract signing
Rob Gronkowski Officially Retires from the NFL, Signs One-Day Contract with New England Patriots
Rob Gronkowski has officially announced his retirement from the NFL and will be signing a one-day contract to retire as a “Patriot for life.” Gronkowski revealed on “FOX NFL Sunday” that he plans to ink the one-day contract with the New England Patriots this week, allowing him to retire as a member of the storied franchise where he won three of his four Super Bowl rings.
The announcement came just as the Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers—the last team Gronkowski played for alongside Tom Brady and with whom he won Super Bowl LV in 2021—were set to face off. Brady joined the broadcast team for that contest alongside Kevin Burkhardt.
The Patriots officially announced that Gronkowski would sign the one-day contract on Wednesday afternoon, ahead of their “Thursday Night Football” matchup against the New York Jets, their AFC East rivals.
Gronkowski, 36, began his NFL career in 2010 when the Patriots drafted him 42nd overall in the second round out of the University of Arizona. He spent nine seasons in New England, developing one of the best tight end legacies in NFL history. His connection with Tom Brady was a critical factor in the Patriots’ success under head coach Bill Belichick, leading to multiple Super Bowl victories.
Although Gronkowski initially retired following the 2018 season, he returned to the field when Brady left the Patriots for the Buccaneers. He couldn’t resist the chance to play again alongside his favorite quarterback in Tampa Bay. With a star-studded Buccaneers roster, Brady and Gronkowski won their final Super Bowl together in 2021. Gronkowski notably scored two touchdowns at Raymond James Stadium, helping secure a 31-9 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs and claim the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
After retiring following the 2022 season, Gronkowski was soon joined by Brady, who retired in 2023 after the Buccaneers’ playoff exit against the Dallas Cowboys.
Now, as Gronkowski and Brady continue their careers off the field as colleagues on the Fox Sports broadcast team, they’ve been closely watching the Patriots return to their winning ways — reminiscent of their days with the team. Veteran Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel is leading the charge in his first season.
The Patriots also have a promising new quarterback in Drake Maye, whom they selected third overall out of the University of North Carolina in the 2024 NFL Draft. Maye has been performing like an MVP candidate, helping the team achieve an 8-2 record through their first 10 games. He ranks third in the NFL in passing yards (2,555) and is tied for third in touchdown passes (19). Maye’s impressive 113.9 quarterback rating also places him sixth in the league.
Gronkowski’s official retirement and one-day contract signing mark the end of an era, but the Patriots’ future looks bright as new stars rise to continue the franchise’s tradition of success.

Lifecore Biomedical: A Disconnect Between Share Price And Business Progress
**Lifecore Biomedical: A Disconnect Between Share Price and Business Progress**
*Nov. 09, 2025 | 7:15 PM ET*
Lifecore Biomedical, Inc. (LFCR) provides a clear example of good news met with a negative market reaction. Despite positive developments, the market reacted as though LFCR had just sold all $150 million in stock at once, causing shares to drop more than 10% on the news.
One of the key growth drivers for Lifecore is the company’s recent addition of a GLP-1 opportunity, among other advancements. This new venture has the potential to significantly increase revenues and fully utilize the current annual unit capacity of 45,000.
At present, LFCR is valued at approximately $46 per share, which is roughly six times the current trading price. This significant discrepancy highlights a disconnect between the company’s actual business progress and its share price.
The following insights were excerpted from the Greenhaven Road Capital Main Fund Q3 2025 Investor Letter. Last quarter’s letter emphasized that, while the companies held by the fund possess high intrinsic and expected value, market pricing has not yet reflected these fundamentals.

Dodgers vs. Blue Jays Game 7 prediction: World Series picks, odds, bets, props
It all comes down to this: Game 7 of the World Series. With everything on the line, the Dodgers are sending Shohei Ohtani to the mound on short rest. They didn’t have much of a choice.
Dealing with a struggling bullpen and clinging to a two-run lead, the Dodgers turned to potential Game 7 starter Tyler Glasnow to close out the thrilling Game 6 victory on Friday night. Glasnow recorded the final three outs, including a game-ending double play, securing a 3-1 triumph.
This win puts Ohtani—the Dodgers don’t want him coming out of the bullpen due to MLB’s quirky designated hitter rules that would strip him of his ability to hit—in the driver’s seat for the decisive game. While we shouldn’t expect Ohtani to pitch a full nine innings on such short rest, it’s unlikely the Dodgers will treat him with kid gloves.
Ohtani hasn’t been taxed like an ace arm might be during a deep postseason run. He has pitched just three games this October, tossing exactly six innings in each start and averaging 94 pitches per appearance.
As mentioned, the Dodgers’ relievers haven’t been great this postseason, posting a 4.30 ERA after struggling all season. With no game scheduled for Sunday, I don’t see manager Dave Roberts turning to Emmet Sheehan, Clayton Kershaw, Blake Treinen, or anyone else in the Dodgers’ bullpen before exhausting his two-way star.
This time, Ohtani won’t be taking the mound coming off an 18-inning marathon like he did in Game 4, when he took the loss. He should be given every opportunity to get as many outs as possible.
**The Play:** Shohei Ohtani Over 9.5 outs recorded (-115, FanDuel Sportsbook)

World Series: Trip to see Dodgers play Blue Jays in Toronto will cost you big bucks
LOS ANGELES (KABC) — Dodger fans looking to support Big Blue in the World Series will have to spend some serious cash if they plan on making a trip to Toronto.
Game 1 of the World Series is set for Friday at Rogers Centre, and the cost of booking a flight to get there before the first pitch is not cheap. A search for round-trip, non-stop flights leaving Los Angeles International Airport on Thursday found seats starting at $1,200 apiece.
Meanwhile, the least expensive seat at the stadium for Friday’s game costs more than $900. And that’s before factoring in other related expenses such as hotels, restaurants, and car rentals. With an investment easily climbing into the thousands of dollars, travel experts urge fans to be prepared.
“Check your passport,” warns Doug Shupe with the Automobile Club of Southern California. “Make sure it’s a valid passport and that it is not expired. You don’t want to get to the airport, realize that your passport is expired, and miss out on this great opportunity.”
For fans who want to see a World Series game but save thousands, consider getting tickets at Dodger Stadium. While you won’t have to worry about airfare or hotels, the cheapest tickets at home still start at more than $800.

Andrew Tate Vs Arthur Hayes Bitcoin Prediction – Who’s Right?
Bitcoin extended its losses this week, plunging below $104,000 and triggering a wave of panic across crypto markets. While BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes urged investors to treat the dip as a buying opportunity, influencer Andrew Tate forecasted a far deeper crash. The two figures’ sharply opposing outlooks underscore the uncertainty gripping the digital asset sector.
Bitcoin, which hit a record $126,198 on October 7, has fallen more than 17% in ten days amid renewed US-China trade tensions and growing banking stress.
### Bulls and Bears Collide Over Bitcoin’s Fate
Bitcoin dropped nearly 2% on Friday, extending a four-month low, according to Coingecko. The decline followed reports of financial strain at Zions Bank and Western Alliance Bank, fueling fears of wider contagion.
Arthur Hayes dismissed the panic as short-term noise. He wrote on X, “BTC is on sale,” adding that if the ongoing US regional banking troubles deepen into a full crisis, investors should prepare for a bailout similar to 2023.
“Be ready for a 2023-like bailout,” Hayes wrote, urging followers to “go shopping” if they have spare capital.
Hayes’ remarks highlight his confidence that renewed financial instability could drive capital back into digital assets. “If bailouts happen again, the rebound will be stronger than 2023,” he said.
However, on-chain data points to sustained selling. Over 51,000 BTC reportedly moved from miners to exchanges last week, likely for liquidation. Exchange-traded fund flows also showed $536 million in daily outflows, marking four red days in five.
Economist Peter Schiff joined the bearish camp, arguing that Bitcoin has lost 34% of its value against gold since its peak. “The idea of Bitcoin as digital gold has failed,” Schiff said, calling this phase “the beginning of a brutal decline.”
### Andrew Tate Predicts Pain Before the Peak
Andrew Tate, a controversial influencer and former kickboxing world champion, predicted that Bitcoin could plunge to what he described as the September 2023 level of $26,000 before staging a major rebound. He argued that traders’ “blind optimism” was keeping the market from finding a true bottom.
In his post, Tate delivered a vivid monologue to his millions of followers, warning that “everything can always get worse.” His central message was clear: “the price can always go lower.”
Tate’s tone was blunt and pessimistic, consistent with his reputation. The former athlete has faced multiple criminal charges in Romania, including rape, human trafficking, and money laundering—allegations he denies. Despite his legal troubles, Tate remains highly influential online, promoting what he calls a “war room” philosophy centered on wealth and dominance, often through crypto speculation.
He claimed that the market would only recover once “everybody has lost all their money,” calling that moment the true start of a new bull cycle.
### Market Outlook: Between Fear and Opportunity
Hayes’ optimism and Tate’s pessimism represent two poles of sentiment in a market caught between fear and opportunity. Whether Bitcoin rebounds or sinks further, the contrast between rational accumulation and apocalyptic bravado highlights the psychological extremes shaping today’s crypto trading narrative.

Nat Sciver-Brunt hammers her 5th Women’s ODI WC century: Stats
**Nat Sciver-Brunt Smashes Her 5th ICC Women’s World Cup Century**
*By Rajdeep Saha | October 11, 2025, 7:13 PM*
England all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt showcased a masterclass innings by hammering her 5th ICC Women’s World Cup century. In a thrilling contest against Sri Lanka Women in Colombo on Saturday, Sciver-Brunt scored a commanding 117 runs off 117 balls, powering England to a total of 253/9 in their 50 overs.
Sciver-Brunt’s brilliant knock was central to England’s innings. Coming to the crease when the team was 49/2, she stabilized the innings and then took charge, forging a crucial 60-run partnership with captain Heather Knight for the third wicket. Throughout her innings, she maintained momentum with several 30-run stands and accelerated impressively towards the end.
The innings had a moment of drama as Sciver-Brunt was dropped early on by Udeshika Prabodhani when she was just on three runs—an error Sri Lanka would come to regret. Eventually, Prabodhani did manage to claim her wicket, but not before Sciver-Brunt inflicted substantial damage.
### Impressive Stats and Milestones
Sciver-Brunt’s 117-run innings included nine fours and two sixes, taking her World Cup tally to an impressive 954 runs at an average of 59.62. This knock marked her 5th century and 2nd fifty-plus score in the tournament, elevating her to the 8th-highest run-scorer in Women’s World Cup history. In doing so, she surpassed Australia’s Meg Lanning, who has 948 World Cup runs at an average of 52.66.
In terms of overall Women’s One Day Internationals (WODIs), this was Sciver-Brunt’s 10th hundred. She has amassed 4,241 runs in 124 matches (110 innings) at an average of 47.12, complemented by 25 fifties. Highlighting her dominance against Sri Lanka, she now has over 500 runs against them—523 runs from 12 matches (10 innings) with a remarkable average of 74.71. This century was her 5th score above fifty against Sri Lanka (2 hundreds and 3 fifties).
### Record-Breaking Feats for England
According to Cricbuzz, Sciver-Brunt now holds the second-highest number of centuries for England in Women’s ODIs, a testament to her consistency and class.
**Most hundreds for England Women in ODIs:**
1. Tammy Beaumont – 12 centuries (125 innings)
2. Nat Sciver-Brunt – 10 centuries (110 innings)
3. Charlotte Edwards – 9 centuries (180 innings)
4. Claire Taylor – 8 centuries (120 innings)
Nat Sciver-Brunt’s stunning performance in Colombo once again highlighted why she is one of the premier all-rounders in women’s cricket today. England will be counting on her firepower as the World Cup progresses.
