Image source: Gaming4Life, supplied Sony Foundation’s GAMING4LIFE charity drive returns this month. GAMING4LIFE is an annual series of charity live streams, this year running from November 1 to 30. Funds from this year’s drive will go to the Sony Foundation’s You Can Stay program, which assists youth cancer patients living in regional areas travelling to city hospitals to receive medical care, putting a roof over their heads for the duration of their stay. The goal is to hit $50,000 in donations to fund 500 one-night stays at a Quest serviced apartment close to each patient’s hospital. Given the physical and monetary cost of travelling so far for treatments, not having to worry about accommodation would be a huge weight off the shoulders of families already doing it pretty tough. The charity drive is a month of live streams hosted by popular Australian Twitch streamers. Familiar names like MaxiGeek, HolmesinFive and StormyPlays will appear throughout the month. Each streamer will have their own Tiltify link for direct donations. You can check out the full schedule here. You can also donate by picking up a raffle ticket at the Sony Foundations Bid2Give website. Prizes up for grabs include: A skateboard signed by…

Mumbai: A special court here while granting bail to Aachit Kumar last week in the drugs-on-cruise case said merely on the basis of WhatsApp chats, it cannot be gathered that he had supplied drugs to co-accused Aryan Khan, the son of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, and Arbaaz Merchant. The court in its detailed order, a copy of which was made available on Sunday, also raised questions on the veracity of the Narcotics Control Bureau's (NCB) panchnama records said they were fabricated and seemed suspicious. Special Judge V V Patil, designated to hear cases related to the Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, granted bail to 22-year-old Kumar on Saturday. The court in its detailed order observed that except for the WhatsApp chats with Aryan Khan, there is no evidence to show Kumar was indulging in such activities. “Merely on the basis of WhatsApp chats, it cannot be gathered that the applicant (Kumar) used to supply contraband to accused No 1 and 2 (Aryan Khan and Arbaaz Merchant), especially when the accused No 1, with whom there are WhatsApp chats, has been granted bail by the High Court,” the order said. Aryan Khan and Merchant, who were arrested in…

Nathan Wagstaffe says like most animals brought in to Critter Care injured by snap traps, the skunk was so badly injured it had to be euthanized. Photo by Critter Care Animal welfare groups say animals other than rats are inadvertently being caught in black plastic snap traps around Metro Vancouver.

While snap traps are described as being able to humanely kill rats if used properly, they can also catch a paw of a larger animal such as a skunk, squirrel or raccoon and cause excruciating pain over several days. The damage can be so serious, treatment centres often have no choice but to euthanize the animal. Reports of more animals being caught in the snap traps may be linked to the ban of rodenticides — poisons used to kill rats and mice that also kill other animals. In Langley, Critter Care Wildlife says people have been bringing in animals injured by…
