    Sports continue to dominate headlines worldwide with high-stakes competitions, unprecedented transfers, and dramatic twists both on and off the field. The past week was no exception, offering fans a mix of inspiring victories, jaw-dropping financial moves, and controversies that have sparked heated debates. From football’s record-breaking transfers to cricket’s thrilling finishes and tennis players making history, the global sports landscape is brimming with stories worth revisiting.

    Football: Transfers, Triumphs, and Tensions
    Football never fails to stay in the spotlight, and this week brought a combination of drama and business at its peak.

    Record-Breaking Transfers
    One of the most talked-about events in European football was a blockbuster transfer deal that sent shockwaves across leagues. Clubs continue to push financial boundaries to secure top talent, with mega-money signings reflecting both the ambition of wealthy owners and the growing commercial influence of global fanbases. The figures involved in recent deals highlight how football has transitioned into an era where player valuations rival those of mid-sized companies.

    League Action
    On the pitch, fans were treated to some enthralling matches. England’s Premier League saw underdogs upsetting traditional giants, reigniting debates over competitiveness in one of the most watched sporting competitions worldwide. Meanwhile, Spain’s La Liga showcased brilliance from rising stars, with youthful squads giving traditional powerhouses like Real Madrid and Barcelona a run for their money. In Italy’s Serie A, tight defensive battles continued to define the competition, while Bundesliga in Germany displayed high-octane football with record goal tallies across the weekend.

    Off-Field Drama
    Not all headlines were celebratory. Financial Fair Play investigations, ownership controversies, and fan protests over ticket pricing once again highlighted the business challenges facing clubs. As the sport grows increasingly commercialized, stakeholders continue to grapple with the balance between financial health and maintaining the passion that makes football the world’s most popular game.

The win not only boosted team morale but also provided selectors with crucial insights ahead of major ICC events.

    Australia and England, long-time rivals, locked horns in another high-profile contest. Their encounters once again highlighted cricket’s ability to blend tradition with modern flair, as young talents stepped up under pressure while experienced stars anchored their teams.

    Franchise Buzz
    On the domestic front, franchise leagues in different countries continued to attract record crowds and TV audiences. The shorter T20 format remains a massive commercial draw, and the rise of women’s franchise cricket is another positive development. The increased investment in women’s teams reflects the sport’s growing inclusivity and potential for expansion.

    Tennis: Rising Stars Challenge the Old Guard
    Tennis witnessed its share of drama, as young players continued to challenge seasoned veterans in major tournaments.

    Grand Slam Highlights
    This week’s matches delivered thrilling five-setters, showcasing the mental toughness and athletic endurance the sport demands. While established legends held their ground, the new generation proved they are more than ready to take over the spotlight. For fans, the mix of old versus new has created a golden era of tennis where every tournament feels like a passing-of-the-torch moment.

    Women’s Tennis
    On the women’s side, rivalries are heating up as new champions emerge. The depth of talent has never been stronger, with unpredictability becoming a key feature of the WTA tour. Every match feels like an open contest, which only adds to the intrigue and excitement for fans worldwide.

    Basketball: Dominance and Disruptions
    Basketball leagues across the globe provided their own share of excitement.

    NBA Headlines
    In the United States, the NBA preseason buzz has already taken over conversations. Superstars switching teams, rookies making waves, and tactical innovations by coaches are setting the stage for what could be one of the most competitive seasons in recent memory. The ever-growing global audience of the NBA underlines basketball’s transformation into a cultural phenomenon as much as a sport.

    International Stage
    Beyond the NBA, international tournaments showcased how basketball’s popularity has expanded. Teams from Europe and Asia are producing world-class talent, narrowing the gap between the NBA and global competition. This growth is vital as basketball continues its bid to be not just America’s game but a true global powerhouse.

    Other Sporting Highlights
    Formula 1
    Motorsport enthusiasts had plenty to cheer about, with Formula 1 delivering another adrenaline-packed race weekend. Rivalries between top teams intensified as drivers pushed their machines to the limit. The strategies, pit stops, and weather conditions once again highlighted why F1 is often described as a sport where technology meets human precision.

    Athletics
    In athletics, several athletes delivered standout performances at continental events. Track and field continues to produce inspiring stories of perseverance, especially from underdog athletes representing smaller nations. Their successes serve as a reminder that the spirit of sports is not only about fame and money but also about passion and dedication.

    The Business of Sports: Money, Media, and Markets
    While athletes dazzled on the field, the business of sports remained a talking point. Broadcast deals, sponsorship expansions, and the role of streaming platforms in changing sports consumption patterns were widely discussed. Fans now have more ways than ever to access content, and digital innovations are redefining how leagues connect with audiences.

    Sports betting and fantasy leagues also continue to grow at a remarkable pace, adding new layers of engagement but also sparking regulatory debates in several countries. Meanwhile, merchandise sales and brand collaborations highlight the increasing intersection of sports with fashion, entertainment, and technology.

    Conclusion: The Unstoppable Pulse of Global Sports
    The past week was a reminder of why sports continue to be one of the most unifying forces across cultures and continents. Victories, defeats, record-breaking deals, and controversies all came together to form a narrative that kept fans hooked. Whether it was football’s billion-dollar transfers, cricket’s nail-biting finishes, tennis’s generational battles, or basketball’s growing dominance, every sport contributed to a global spectacle.

    As leagues progress, tournaments unfold, and new stars rise, one thing remains certain: the world of sports will never run short of stories that inspire, entertain, and spark debate. For fans, that means more excitement ahead—and more moments that will be remembered for years to come.

  • Wi-Fi HaLow market to grow 79% annually over 5 years

    Wi-Fi HaLow market to grow 79% annually over 5 years

    The Wi-Fi HaLow (802.11ah) market is expected to grow steadily over the next five years, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 79%, according to Omdia’s new report released month: “Wi-Fi HaLow (802.11ah) Market Assessment”.

    Bridging the IoT Connectivity Gap
    Wi-Fi HaLow addresses a market gap in wireless connectivity by offering middle ground between traditional Wi-Fi and low-power alternatives. For applications requiring more bandwidth than LoRaWAN but greater range and power efficiency than conventional Wi-Fi, HaLow presents an ideal solution.

    “If HaLow can establish a market beachhead in video, the infrastructure can then be leveraged for non-video IoT applications such as sensors, actuators, lighting, and more,” said Andrew Brown, Practice Lead for IoT at Omdia. “While HaLow may not have a marked advantage in these applications, the presence of existing infrastructure will make it more attractive than deploying another wireless technology.”

    Market outlook and growth sectors
    The industrial sector is expected to drive initial adoption, particularly for video-intensive applications like security, surveillance, and automation. As infrastructure expands, HaLow is projected to gain traction in smart home security cameras and doorbells starting in 2026, followed by smart city applications and consumer drones in 2027.

    “HaLow has a distinct advantage over other low power wireless technologies in the transmission of high-resolution video,” added Brown. “Among other common low power standards, only LTE-M is capable of video transmission, and even then, it is limited to mid-resolution due to its lower bandwidth.”

    Despite facing challenges from established technologies and a currently limited ecosystem, HaLow’s technical advantages and growing vendor support indicate potential for growth. Omdia

  • Local OTTs turn to micro-dramas to meet shifting viewer tastes

    Local OTTs turn to micro-dramas to meet shifting viewer tastes

    As the short-content format catches on with global social media and video-on-demand streaming platforms, Indian production houses are also betting on micro-dramas while continuing to invest in longer shows and films.
    The low cost and speed of creating these five-to-seven-minute episodes lures these companies that can see attention dipping for longer, slow-burn content, often in regional languages, mirroring the trend for mainstream languages like English or Hindi.

    “We’re actively exploring shorter storytelling formats, including micro-dramas and snackable content, as part of our evolving content strategy,” a ZEE5 spokesperson said. “Audience consumption patterns have shifted significantly, with mobile-first, time-sensitive and on-the-go viewing becoming a core behaviour, especially among younger, urban and regional viewers. We see a clear opportunity in creating original, high-impact narratives that deliver emotional payoffs within a shorter runtime.”

    These micro-dramas will be mobile-first, fresh, standalone stories and will be available via Bullet’s micro-drama app, which will be integrated into ZEE5, the spokesperson added. This new offering will be creator-led, gamified and AI-personalised, offering vertically shot, episodic content in multiple languages.

    Nitin Burman, chief revenue officer of Balaji Telefilms Ltd, said the company launched micro-dramas under the brand Kutingg in May, currently available on the ALTT app. Over 400 episodes are live, including one show made entirely using AI.

    About 15% to 20% of ALTT’s content budget is allocated to micro-dramas and the company is looking to cast actors with a strong following on social media to amplify reach and engagement, Burman added.

    Dhruvin Shah, founder and CEO of JOJO, a Gujarati video streaming service, said the company is thinking along these lines and has carved out a name for the same—JO, which is a short version of the name JOJO.

    Here to stay
    Short-format content lends itself to the small windows of engagement and low attention spans that are prevalent currently, according to Sukhpreet Singh, chief revenue officer of Dish TV. Evolving consumer behaviour and lifestyles, coupled with increasing screen penetration in the country, ensure this is a trend that’s here to stay, Singh added.

    Some experts said going by the success of micro-dramas in China, which is currently the only established proof of concept for this format of shows, it would be a mistake to see shortening attention spans as the only influencing factor.

    “Entertainment, whether bite-sized or a 120-minute movie, works because of the audience’s takeaways. So far, the success of micro-dramas has been driven by escapism and instant gratification. That, combined with commuting windows, has given them traction, particularly among women consumers. To convert this habit into successful monetizable opportunity will be a challenge for both Indian and foreign players,” said Saurabh Srivastava – chief operating officer – digital business at Shemaroo Entertainment Ltd.

    Smaller and regional OTT platforms acknowledge that short-form content comes with its share of challenges. There are many free short-format content options in the market, Ujjwal Mahajan, co-founder of Chaupal, a platform specializing in Punjabi, Haryanvi and Bhojpuri content, pointed out.

    While this format of content is very engaging, monetisation is a different ball game, he said, adding that the prospects for ad revenue in India are extremely low, so this strategy needs a subscription model.

    Kaushik Das, founder and CEO of AAO NXT, an Odia language platform, added that one of the key challenges that regional platforms face is balancing quality with budget constraints. While global platforms have massive scale and resources, regional players must be more strategic.

    Relevant content
    However, their deep cultural insight, regional language strength and local audience understanding are their biggest assets—and that gives them an edge in creating relevant, resonant content, Das added.

    “Attracting and retaining top talent for short-form content creation can be challenging… The Indian OTT market is becoming increasingly saturated, making it more challenging for regional platforms to stand out and attract subscribers,” said Rajat Agrawal, chief operating officer and director of Ultra Media & Entertainment Group.

    These smaller platforms might also have limited distribution channels, making it harder to reach a wider audience.

    “With so much content available, regional OTT platforms need to ensure their short-form content is discoverable and appealing to their target audience,” said Agrawal. Live Mint

  • Idaho hospitals hit by 4% Medicaid cut

    Idaho hospitals hit by 4% Medicaid cut

    Idaho hospitals might face significant challenges due to a 4% Medicaid reimbursement cut. On September 1, hospitals that charge Medicaid for services will receive 4% less in reimbursement.

    This reduction could affect services for all patients, not just those on Medicaid, according to Toni Lawson, Vice President of the Idaho Hospital Association.

    Lawson explained that even a slight cut could mean the difference between financial stability and loss.

    “4% translates to even the littlest bit, could mean the difference between operating in the red and operating in the black,” Lawson said.

    Operating in the red means losing money, and Lawson mentioned that many Idaho hospitals are closer to this situation than people realize.

    “You know at any given time, half the hospitals in Idaho are operating with a less than 1% margin,” Lawson stated.

    A 4% cut would push more hospitals into financial jeopardy, forcing them to use vital reserve funds. Once these funds run out, hospitals would need to evaluate cost-saving measures.

    “They’re going to have to start looking at what service lines aren’t covering themselves in terms of expenses and costs,” Lawson said.

    Programs that are too costly might face cuts, she explained.

    “The most vulnerable services that you may see some more closures are labor and delivery services and behavioral health services,” Lawson added.

    These services often run at a loss but hospitals still perform the services because they are essential to the community, Lawson explained.

    She also emphasized that without funding from other areas, these crucial services could experience cutbacks and closures.

    “These are pretty tough decisions that I think our hospitals are going to have to make, particularly our small rural hospitals,” Lawson said.

    Although Lawson hopes the 4% reimbursement cut is temporary, it could lead to difficult decisions for hospitals.

    Non Stop Local did reach out to The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, they asked for specific written questions to send a written response. As of Tuesday afternoon, a written response was not sent. KHQ

  • US CDC panel to vote on vaccines

    US CDC panel to vote on vaccines

    A revamped U.S. CDC vaccine advisory committee is scheduled to meet on September 18, and could vote on shots for hepatitis B, measles-mumps-rubella-varicella and respiratory syncytial virus, according to the federal register.

    The meeting announcement comes after a major upheaval at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last week, where its director Susan Monarez was fired after resisting changes to vaccine policy that were advanced by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

    Three top officials at the health agency also resigned in the wake of the firing, citing anti-vaccine policies pushed by Kennedy, including firing of the entire expert vaccine advisory panel — the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices — in June, and replacing them with like-minded anti-vaccine activists and other hand-picked advisers.

    The newly revamped seven-member vaccine panel had met in June and voted to recommend seasonal influenza shots free from mercury-based preservative thimerosal.

    The head of the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions has called for the delay of the meeting of vaccine advisers this month after chaos erupted at the CDC.

    Kennedy has made sweeping changes to the nation’s vaccine policies, including the withdrawal of federal recommendations for COVID-19 shots for pregnant women and healthy children. Reuters

    There are, currently, 12 State-run government medical colleges and hospitals apart from 20 under construction medical colleges in the State.

    In another decision, the Cabinet also sanctioned ₹20,000 crore to roll out Mukhya Mantri Mahila Rozgar Yojana, under which one woman of every family will be given ₹10,000 to start a business of her own choice, Chaudhary said.

    Following the evaluation of the performance of women’s entrepreneurial ventures after six months, an additional ₹2 lakh will be given as grant to the women entrepreneurs, he said adding that the amount of ₹20,000 crore will be made available as advance from Bihar Contingency Fund and Finance Department as per requirement.

    Along with it, the Cabinet also gave its nod for creation of various posts of 3,233 in different government departments, Chaudhary said.

    Out of 3,233 different posts, it approved the Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) department’s proposal for creation of 1,800 teaching and non-teaching posts for newly approved 40 residential schools.

    Following the implementation of Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 760 posts have been created besides approving the redesignation of various posts in order to strengthen the prosecution cadre, he said.

    A separate unit of “Prohibition and State Narcotics Control Bureau” has been set up for which 88 posts have been created to deal with the issue of narcotics and prohibition. So far, the Economic Offence Unit (EOU) has been tackling the cases of narcotics and drugs while CID has been dealing with the cases of prohibition.

The amount will not exceed ₹25,000 per month on which dearness allowance will not be payable, Chaudhary said.

    Bihar Home Guards’ duty and training allowances have been hiked from ₹774 to ₹1121 for each working day which is on par with a one-day salary of Bihar police personnel and it will be effective from the date of issuance of the order.

    It also decided to increase the monthly honorarium of Gram Kutchery Secretary from ₹6,000 to ₹9,000. The hike will be made applicable from July 01, 2025.

    The Cabinet also hiked the stipend of students doing internship in different medical colleges, Patna dental college, Ayurvedic, Unani, Homoeopathy colleges and foreign medical sciences. They will now get ₹27,000 per month as stipend against the existing monthly stipend of ₹20,000.

  • EU court upholds new US-EU data transfer deal

    EU court upholds new US-EU data transfer deal

    A data transfer deal agreed by the European Union and the United States two years ago to replace two previous pacts rejected by a higher tribunal was given the green light by Europe’s second-highest court.

    The ruling will provide legal certainty to thousands of companies, ranging from banks to tech companies to drugmakers and car manufacturers, that transfer personal data across the Atlantic for commercial use such as payroll purposes and cloud infrastructure.

    The case comes at a time of tension in EU-US relations following an EU crackdown on Big Tech and threats of retaliation by US President Donald Trump.

    The European Commission, which negotiated the accord on behalf of the 27 EU member states in 2023, had said it offered an adequate level of protection for Europeans’ personal data transferred to the US.

    French lawmaker Philippe Latombe subsequently sued the EU executive, saying there were inadequate guarantees of respect for private and family life in the agreement because of the widespread and bulk collection of personal data.

    He criticised the new US appeal body to which Europeans could resort, saying it was not an independent tribunal and did not offer guarantees similar to those required by EU law.

    The Luxembourg-based General Court sided with the Commission.

    “The General Court dismisses an action for annulment of the new framework for the transfer of personal data between the European Union and the United States,” it said in a ruling.

    “On the date of adoption of the contested decision, the United States of America ensured an adequate level of protection for personal data transferred from the European Union to organisations in that country.”

    Judges dismissed privacy concerns about US surveillance.

    “In the present case, it is apparent from the file that, under US law, signals intelligence activities carried out by US intelligence agencies are subject to ex post judicial oversight by the DPRC,” they said, referring to the US Data Protection Review Court.

    Latombe can appeal to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) – Europe’s highest – on matters of law.

    The CJEU scuppered the previous two deals after challenges by Austrian privacy activist Max Schrems because of concerns about US. intelligence agencies’ accessing European citizens’ private data.

    Schrems said he still had concerns about the pact despite the ruling, suggesting a broader review of US law would yield “a different result”. Reuters
