Israel expands its offensive in Lebanon

Israel killed two Hamas leaders as it broadened its bombardment of Lebanon on Saturday, striking as far north as Tripoli, Lebanon's second-biggest city.

The Israeli military also targeted Hashem Safieddine, the potential successor to lead Hezbollah. Safieddine hasn't been heard from since the Israeli attack, sources say.

The widening war has sent thousands of Lebanese fleeing their homes. Rallies and counter-rallies are planned worldwide for Monday's one-year anniversary of the Oct. 7 attack on Israeli civilians by Hamas terrorists.

President Joe Biden on Friday urged Israel to consider alternatives to striking Iranian oil infrastructure. On Saturday, Israeli media reported that the top U.S. general for the Middle East, Army General Michael Kurilla, had landed in Israel.

Halloween Spending Dips in 2024

U.S. consumers are projected to spend $11.6 billion this year on Halloween costumes, decorations, and candy, down from last year’s $12.2 billion,

That total works out to more than $100 per person for the holiday, though how it’s spent can vary by state and region, at least in terms of preferred costumes.

Witches are especially popular in the northwest; the southwest favors Spiderman, and Maine and Florida can’t get enough pirates. Here's a map of which costumes are most popular in every state.

List: Best Small-Chain Restaurant in Every State

Every state offers at least one popular local restaurant that becomes a small chain—big enough to open another location or two without expanding nationally.

In Louisiana, a hot dog chain called Dat Dog offers alligator, duck, and fish-based sausages with over 30 toppings. In Idaho, it’s hard to go wrong at Boise Fry Co., and Gino’s East in Illinois has mastered the deep-dish pizza.

Click here to see what the best small-chain restaurant is in your state.

Final Month: Invest as NASA and Navy Tap Into this “Infinite” Fuel Source

From space travel to deep sea exploration, an “infinite” fuel source could change everything – and you still have time to invest in the company with over $50M in contracts to date to develop it.

Organizations like the US Navy and NASA are enlisting Infinity Fuel to bring them into a new era of renewable power. The company’s fuel cell technology is already powering a new generation of Uncrewed Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) for defense missions. These can extend the range and duration of underwater drones by up to 10X compared to batteries.

What makes this possible is Infinity’s air-independent fuel cell technology. It literally turns water and electricity into hydrogen and oxygen and back again.

This has huge potential to impact:

The future of EVs, space travel, and more
Supplying power to 1.7B+ people living off-grid
Reducing carbon emissions around the world

Infinity has also launched their technology aboard (2) experimental test flights on Blue Origin’s New Shepard missions NS-23 and NS-24. A few of their team members have even been involved in NASA space fuel cell programs since their very beginning in the 1960s.

With less than a month left in their funding round, see how you can become one of Infinity’s earliest shareholders by 10/25.
