India and Canada thaw tensions as trade talks restart
The post India and Canada thaw tensions as trade talks restart appeared com. India and Canada are thawing a long chill in their relations. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met on the sidelines of the G20 summit in South Africa to restart discussions on a CEPA. The decision marks a significant reversal after a two-year hiatus in trade talks. According to India’s Ministry of External Affairs, the two leaders decided that negotiations will soon be undertaken on a “high-ambition” agreement, which could potentially open markets and create new investment opportunities. Carney accepted Modi’s invitation to visit India early in the new year. Officials from both governments will begin technical discussions ahead of that visit. The two leaders hope to boost bilateral trade to $70 billion by 2030. Last year, trade was around C$31 billion (US$22 billion). Canada seeks stronger access to India’s rapidly growing economy, while India aims for deeper ties with a G7 partner. Diplomatic efforts restore trust after the rift India-Canada relations have been strained since a major diplomatic spat in 2023. Canada had accused India of complicity in the killing of a Sikh separatist leader, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, in its Vancouver area. The Canadian authorities offered what they described as credible evidence that agents linked to the Indian government were involved. India dismissed the accusations as baseless. The standoff led to wide diplomatic expulsions. Both countries recalled their top diplomats and suspended significant diplomatic, trade, and military ties. It would be nearly two years before the relationship thawed much further. The diplomatic channels largely froze along the way. Formal engagement stalled, including talks on trade and economic cooperation. Then came new developments in early 2025 under the leadership of new leaders in Canada. Mark Carney, who later became the Governor of the Bank of Canada, prioritized repairing relations with India. He pledged to start rebuilding trust.

Scientists discover a brain chemical tied to trauma to depression
New research by neuroscientists from Columbia University and McGill University has found a brain chemical that may explain why some people who faced trauma in childhood are more likely to suffer from depression and suicidal thoughts as adults. The chemical is a stress-related protein called SGK1, and it could open the door to better treatments [.] The post Scientists discover a brain chemical tied to trauma to depression appeared first on Knowridge Science Report.
FBI Probes November 21 Blockchain Incident
The post FBI Probes November 21 Blockchacom. The cryptocurrency world was shaken when news broke that the FBI has launched an investigation into the November 21 Cardano chain split incident. This serious security event has raised important questions about blockchain safety and protocol testing procedures. The Cardano chain split represents one of the most significant security incidents in recent blockchain history, drawing federal attention to cryptocurrency infrastructure vulnerabilities. What Caused the Cardano Chain Split? The Cardano chain split occurred when developers conducted what they described as a security test that went terribly wrong. During routine protocol testing, a transaction exploited a deserialization bug in the system. This technical vulnerability caused the blockchain to temporarily divide into separate chains before developers could implement an emergency patch. Four Cardano developers involved in the incident have publicly acknowledged their careless actions. They explained they were attempting to determine if malicious transactions could be submitted to the network. However, they made a critical error by failing to properly test the transaction on the testnet first. How Did the FBI Get Involved in the Investigation? The Federal Bureau of Investigation entered the picture after the Cardano Foundation formally referred the matter to law enforcement. This move demonstrates the seriousness with which blockchain organizations treat security breaches, even when they appear to be accidental. Key aspects of the FBI investigation include: Examining the technical details of the deserialization bug Reviewing communication and documentation around the security test Assessing potential damage to network integrity Evaluating whether proper protocols were followed What Were the Developers Trying to Accomplish? The developers stated they were conducting legitimate security research to strengthen the Cardano network. Their goal was to identify potential vulnerabilities before malicious actors could exploit them. However, their methodology proved flawed when they used AI assistance to directly block traffic on a Linux server without adequate.
Why 2025 ‘Bearish’ Signal Points to a Bottom, Not a Collapse?
The post Why 2025 ‘Bearish’ Signal Points to a Bottom, Not a Collapse? appeared com. Bitcoin doesn’t need a fanfare when chart signals turn. The latest sell-off, as of November 2025, pushed the Bitcoin price down over 30% from its record high, trading near $86,000 at the time of writing. In fact, Bitcoin has erased all 2025 gains, stoking talk of a deeper collapse of the BTC price and the broader crypto market. But look closer at the data, and the “Death Cross” technical pattern (when the 50-day moving average slides below the 200-day) hasn’t spelled disaster for long-term bulls. If anything, it’s a bottom signal for the Bitcoin price more often than a top. As crypto commentator ‘Ash Crypto’r points out, each time this ominous cross has appeared during an upward-sloping 200-SMA, Bitcoin rebounded fiercely, contradicting trader panic and confirming contrarian instincts. Bitcoin Price: Unpacking the Recent Death Cross The term “Death Cross” haunts traditional finance and crypto Twitter alike. In technical analysis, it signals the start of a protracted downtrend. But history with Bitcoin price is different. Since 2023, every death cross within a bullish 200-SMA marked a local trough. In September 2023, the Bitcoin price bottomed near $26,900. By August 2024, unwinding Japanese carry trades sent it to approximately $59,900, and tariff volatility in April 2025 marked a bottom just under $79,000. Today, Bitcoin’s mid-November slide tracked textbook technical progression. The cross formed, panic seized the market, and Bitcoin lurched toward critical oversold zones. That same 50/200-day crossover, now underway, comes on the heels of a sharper drop, over 30% from October highs. But unlike April’s deep correction, this one appears less severe and is progressing faster, with the market spending half as long trending lower before forming its floor. Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan told CNBC that he believed the bottom for the Bitcoin price was almost in. While he conceded that.

Dominant Packers Drub Lifeless Vikings In Lambeau Laugher
The post Dominant Packers Drub Lifeless Vikings In Lambeau Laugher appeared com. Warren Brinson #91 and Isaiah McDuffie #58 of the Green Bay Packers sack J. J. McCarthy #9 of the Minnesota Vikings during the second quarter at Lambeau Field. It seems unfair to blame second-year quarterback J. J. McCarthy for all of their problems, but it’s clear that head coach Kevin O’Connell refuses to open up the playbook for him. The head coach has little faith that the second-year quarterback can manage an NFL game at this point in his career. There has been talk about rookie Max Brosmer getting a chance to lead the offense, and there’s no reason he shouldn’t get a starting opportunity at some point in the last six games of the season. McCarthy has simply been overwhelmed in his last three games against the Ravens, Bears and Packers. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur had a plan in place to take advantage of the Vikings’ no-gas offense in case McCarthy was unable to decipher the Green Bay defense. He knew that his offense did not have to do much and the only thing he wanted quarterback Jordan Love to do was keep handing the ball to running backs Emanuel Wilson (107 rushing yards) and Christopher Brooks in order to keep the clock moving. Certainly, Love was able to make some quick pitch and catch completions to keep drives alive, but the Packers did not have to attack downfield with medium- and long-range passes that would have put the ball at risk. McCarthy is simply not up to solid NFL competition at this point. The Vikings tried to attack with their running game.
