News Local News Perthshire The aim is for the clubhouse to be an asset for the Highland Perthshire town used by various sports clubs and members of the whole communityThere was reason for festive cheer in Highland Perthshire after councillors unanimously granted a licence for The Aberfeldy Sports Club. A brand new clubhouse has been built in Aberfeldy using around £1 million of funding from various organisations. The Aberfeldy Sports Club's aim is to "provide an asset to Aberfeldy that will welcome the whole community". With golf club membership declining from over 500 in the 1970s to less than 100 today, members embraced a new multi-activity approach to ensure sustainability. Both Aberfeldy Golf Club (AGC) and Aberfeldy Rugby Football Club (ARFC) needed modern clubhouse facilities and so the idea of The Aberfeldy Sports Club was born. The brand new clubhouse has been built on the site of the old golf clubhouse,  » Read More

A Pune court last week sentenced a man to rigorous life imprisonment for the brutal murder of a 13-year-old girl in the city’s Bibwewadi area four years ago. Shubham alias Rushikesh Bajirao Bhagwat, a resident of Sukhsagar Nagar near Katraj, was 22 when he stabbed the kabaddi player around 44 times in front of her friends. According to the police, the victim Kshitija Anant Vyavahare, a resident of Super Indira Nagar in Pune, was Bhagwat’s distant relative. A student of Class 8, she was undergoing kabaddi training at the Yash Lawns ground in Bibwewadi on the day she was killed. Harassment and warnings Investigators said that Bhagwat had been living with his maternal aunt after his mother’s death. He had allegedly been harassing Kshitija and had claimed to be in love with her, but her family had warned him against it. Meanwhile, Bhagwat started working as a security guard at a private company in Mundhwa. As per the police records, on October 9, 2021, he saw images uploaded by Kshitija – in which she was seen with a boy – on the social media platform Snapchat. He then went to Yash Lawns, where Kshitija was practising kabaddi, but the boy

In 2019, TikTok announced a “ formal relationship ” with the National Parent Teacher Association, which describes itself as the largest child advocacy group in America. They published a TikTok Guide for Parents packed with instructions on “ digital safety ” and how to “decide the best experience for your family.” What TikTok did not say, lawsuits filed against the company allege, was that internal documents had begun to reveal that the company knew its technology was harming kids—the short-form video app’s target audience. Between 2018 and 2024, for example, the company allegedly heard from users and parents who described TikTok as “addictive,” “like crystal meth,” and “ruining” kids’ ability to pay attention or sleep. In 2021, TikTok’s own Trust and Safety team concluded that “compulsive usage” of the app “correlates with a slew of negative mental effects” and worsens “preexisting mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety,” a court filing claims. The filing also says the team found the risk of users being driven into algorithmic silos involving suicide and self-harm material was “HIGH.” Continue Reading The Free Press To support our journalism, and unlock all of our investigative stories and provocative commentary about the world as it

The largest outages of 2025 were driven by failures in shared cloud and network infrastructure, not isolated app-level issues. Online services were no longer optional for most people in 2025. Work, entertainment, payments, and communication all depended on platforms that were expected to be available at all times. This year made clear how fragile that expectation can be. The most disruptive outages were not small faults affecting one company or one market. They were failures deep inside shared systems that many services rely on at once. When those systems failed, the consequences spread rapidly across video platforms, games, cloud services, and social apps, frequently in several regions at the same time. That pattern reflects how concentrated digital infrastructure has become. Many popular services now sit on the same cloud providers, content delivery networks, and core platforms. When something fails at that layer, the problem does not stay local. It moves outward, affecting businesses and users far beyond the original fault. Using Downdetector data from 2025, Ookla reviewed millions of user reports to identify the largest website and service disruptions of the year. The data shows where outages had the widest reach, and which parts of the digital stack proved most

The Phillies traded lefty Matt Strahm to the Royals on Friday in exchange for righty reliever Jonathan Bowlan. Philadelphia has two other solid lefty relievers in Jose Alvarado and Tanner Banks, to say nothing of Jhoan Duran and the recently-signed Brad Keller from the right side. With a strong late-inning mix in those four, it made sense to clear Strahm’s $7.5MM salary for 2026 to help with other additions, such as a J.T. Realmuto reunion. According to Matt Gelb of the Athletic, Strahm was outspoken in his opinions on how the bullpen and clubhouse were managed, which clashed with coaches and other team officials. Meanwhile, Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski framed the matter as a more of a question of contractual control, telling reporters, “(Strahm is) a year away from free agency. We were able to get a guy that we liked who has six years of (club control) and we think can help us right away.  » Read More
