By Steve Reed, The Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Patrick Mahomes threw for 269 yards and three touchdowns , Spencer Shrader kicked a 31-yard field goal as time expired and the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Carolina Panthers 30-27 on Sunday to reach double-digit wins for the 10th straight season. Noah Gray caught two TD passes as the Chiefs (10-1) bounced back from last week’s 30-21 loss at Buffalo and won at the buzzer yet again in a season of narrow escapes. DeAndre Hopkins also had a touchdown catch for the two-time defending Super Bowl champions, who scored on their first five possessions. Bryce Young finished 21 of 35 for 262 yards and a touchdown for the Panthers (3-8), who had their two-game winning streak snapped. David Moore had six receptions for 80 yards and a touchdown. Trailing 27-19, Young completed a fourth-down pass to Adam Thielen to move the chains, then went deep for the veteran receiver, who drew a pass-interference penalty on Chamarri Conner. That set up a 1-yard touchdown run by Chuba Hubbard. Young’s initial 2-point conversion toss to Moore drew a flag on Trent McDuffie, and Hubbard ran for 2 on the next play to tie the game with 1:46 left. Mahomes ran for 33 yards on the ensuing drive and was sprung by a downfield block from Justin Watson to reach field goal range. Then he connected with Kareem Hunt for 10 yards to make it a chip shot for Shrader. Mahomes finished with 60 yards rushing.

(AP Photo/Jacob Kupferman) AP The Chiefs wasted no time setting the tone as Samaje Perine returned the opening kickoff 56 yards and Mahomes found Gray for a 35-yard touchdown strike on the third play of scrimmage for a 7-0 lead. Gray went nine games without a TD catch before hauling in two last week against Buffalo. His 11-yard score late in the second quarter gave him two more against the Panthers . The Panthers moved the ball well but struggled in the red zone, resulting in field goals of 30, 32, 29 and 33 yards for Eddy Pineiro, the most accurate kicker in NFL history. Running back Jonathan Brooks made his NFL debut for Carolina, but was limited to 7 yards on two carries. Eight of the Chiefs' wins have come by a one-score margin, and this was their second straight victory decided on the last play. They beat Denver two weeks ago by blocking a would-be game-winning field goal. Kansas City’s Travis Kelce had six catches for 62 yards and moved into third place in career yards receiving by a tight end. He ranks behind only Tony Gonzalez and Jason Witten. However, Kelce failed to find the end zone for the ninth time in 11 games this season.

Ohio State quarterback Devin Brown announced his transfer intentions on Sunday. ARNOLD: The sophomore passed for 1,984 yards with 16 touchdowns and six interceptions and ran for 560 yards and four scores at Oklahoma. Arnold entered this season as the starter, but he struggled to move the team as Oklahoma dealt with major injuries on the offensive line and at receiver. Michael Hawkins Jr. replaced him late in the season. MAHDI: The junior ran for 991 yards and four touchdowns and caught 24 passes for 195 yards and two TDs this season. He also gained 184 yards on kickoff returns. Last season, Mahdi led the nation with 2,169 all-purpose yards.

The Social Democrats have had “a positive day” as they look set to grow their representation in the Dail parliament. Party leader Holly Cairns, who gave birth to a baby girl on polling day, is well placed to retain her seat in the highly competitive constituency of Cork South-West. The Social Democrats, founded in 2015, won six seats in the 2020 election with around 3% of first preference votes. The exit poll after Friday’s General Election put the party on 5.8%, which would give them the most support of the smaller groups in the Dail. Social Democrats Wicklow candidate Jennifer Whitmore said she was “feeling great” as she arrived at the count centre in Greystones on Saturday. “It’s been a really positive result so far. Obviously, a little bit to go yet, but it’s looking really good,” she said of tallies that put her on 14% support and in line for the third of four seats in the constituency. “I think even across the country it’s looking good for the Soc Dems. “I’m hearing really positive things from all the different count centres, so it looks like our six TDs will hopefully be returned, and then we could be in contention for a number of other seats as well, so it’s a really positive day for us.” Asked whether the party would be willing to enter government formation talks with Fine Gael and Fianna Fail, Ms Whitmore said: “There’s still a while to go. “We’re in contention for a number of seats, but we’ll wait until we get them delivered and then we’ll be thinking about talking to the others.” Asked if she was worried by how support for the Green Party looks to have dropped after being a junior government partner, Ms Whitmore said small parties “can often bear the brunt of being in government”. “I think that’s why we were really clear that we set out our five deal-breakers, because we wanted to be very upfront with the public to say ‘if we do go into government, here is what we will be able to achieve’. “We didn’t want to over-promise, and we didn’t want to give people the impression that we were going to do things that we weren’t going to be able to get. “So we were really clear and very transparent in saying, ‘these are the five things that we would achieve if we go in’, and hopefully that will stand to us in the negotiations.” She said that Ms Cairns, who became leader last March, would remain involved in the party over her maternity leave, with deputy leader Cian O’Callaghan stepping in. Mr O’Callaghan said on Saturday his party’s “red lines” were not intended to rule them out of being in government with Fianna Fail or Fine Gael. “This is about defining our negotiations and talks with the parties once the election counts are over,” he said. On a common platform for left-wing parties to negotiate from, Mr O’Callaghan said: “We certainly intend on talking to the Labour Party and other parties over the coming days and weeks, that’s our intention.” The Social Democrats were co-founded by Roisin Shortall and Catherine Murphy in July 2015 – along with then-independent TD Stephen Donnelly, who later joined Fianna Fail and became health minister. Asked about the difficulty facing Mr Donnelly to keep his seat in Wicklow, Ms Whitmore said it was always going to be “a dogfight” for the “highly contested” fourth and final seat in the constituency. “When I was going around on the doors, I was getting a lot of positive feedback from people. People weren’t really talking about other parties or mentioning other candidates. “So I think it wasn’t clear from that what was going to happen, but I think the fourth seat was always going to be the really messy one.”

ABOUT €10.05, that’s the amount my emergency fund made last year, was what one person told me recently. They saved hard to get to the amount they needed which was €15,000 and there was great satisfaction when they did and rightly so. Now they were more comfortable with their job security and whilst they weren’t becoming complacent about it either because they knew redundancy or an illness could happen at any time, they didn’t think they would need access to this money any time soon, at least they hoped they wouldn’t. Which is why they were wondering could they do something different with their emergency fund and put it somewhere else into something sensible, where it would earn more than €10 each year. They’ve put in the heavy lifting but now they feel as if they’re wasting the amount it can grow by if they keep it in a savings account. And they’re not wrong. However before I continue and tell you what my advice to them was, let me first very quickly tell you what an emergency fund is and why you need one because it's often overlooked. It’s an account where you save and place money into that will help cover and pay for sudden unforeseen events happening like an unexpected redundancy, car or home repairs that aren’t covered by insurance, washing machine packs in, four new tyres etc. So, it’s meant to protect you and your family from unexpected expenses that could lead to financial hardship if you’re not prepared. And financial advisors will typically suggest that people keep at least three to six months of their net monthly income in their emergency fund but these multiples could be higher, it will really depend on someone circumstances i.e. a self-employed person whose income is more irregular might be best advised to keep as much as nine months of their income in their emergency fund. And your emergency fund is money I believe that should be set apart from any other accounts you have, it's a standalone account. Anyway, back to the question that was asked of me and that was where was the best place someone could put their €15,000 emergency fund into, where it would hold its value and where it would earn some money as well? And just to let you know because I forgot to tell you, €15,000 was about four months of their monthly income. Okay, the ideal scenario for their emergency fund and anyone else’s for that matter is where; It’s accessible if you need access to it quickly, the capital is 100% protected and the interest rate is earning enough that it’s at least keeping up with inflation so it at least holds its value. And on that last point if the account your emergency money is in isn’t earning say 1.5% (I’m going to use that number as it’s about the current rate of inflation) then in real terms it's going down in value which begs the question, should you invest your emergency fund? This is a question you need to consider carefully because if you do the obvious upside is that it could earn a whole lot more in interest. And people are well aware of this because they’ve seen how well markets have performed this year i.e. the S&P 500 is up about 23% year to date. But that’s not always going to be the case and if we look at the same index in 2022, it was -18.11%. So, investing money into markets like this has a double edged sword i.e. it can go up and it can go down. And when you invest in equities or track indices like the S&P 500 your capital has a 0% capital guarantee. If the person I met invested €15,000 at the beginning of this year in an investment account that tracks the S&P500 they would have made €3,450 before taxes. And if they invested €15,000 at the beginning of 2022 they would have lost €2,716 which would have meant they lost about three weeks of their emergency fund. The problem with investing in equities and market indices is that they can dip at any given time, which can create a problem if they happen to fall at the same time you need the money. Imagine how you’d feel if the market began to nosedive and at the same time you’re given notice that your job is at risk and you look at your emergency fund balance and see it’s worth a third less than what it was before the market began to fall. READ MORE: Limerick traders make plea over 'detrimental' closure of street Having said that over time investing in equity based accounts or tracking stock markets indices will outperform basic deposit and savings accounts and outperform them by some margin at that, but the unknown of course is when an emergency strikes. It could strike as I just said when markets are down and when your fund is down and you don’t have time for it to recover because you need the money now. And that’s the trouble with investing your emergency fund which is why I would err on the cautious side where the capital guarantee trumps all other considerations. You don’t want to worry about what’s happening with your emergency money particularly when markets are going down. You want the sleep well account knowing that your money is safe and all of it will be there when you need it but it does need to hold its value nonetheless and leaving it in an account where its earning 0.10% or 0.25% isn’t going to do that for you. So as I see it you have two options and they are: Find an account that is earning at a minimum 1.5% net where the capital is guaranteed and you have immediate access to it. And does that account exist? It does. I found three accounts very quickly on The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission’s website where you can compare what rates are on offer from the various providers and the website is www.ccpc.ie. If you search like I did you’ll find that bunq.com are offering a gross rate of 3.36%, and raisin.ie have access to banks who are offering between 3.16% and 3.25% on accounts called, demand deposit easy access. The second option is: Invest part of your emergency fund in an equity based account You could choose a hybrid approach where say 80% of your emergency fund is in one of those 100% capital guaranteed accounts I just referred to and invest 20% in an equity based account that doesn’t carry any explicit capital guarantee. By doing this, you have the peace of mind knowing that the majority of your funds are capital guaranteed earning a rate that is at least matching or beating inflation and the remaining 20% is invested in accounts that could earn seven times more than what you’d get on deposit and if it earned seven times less, at least you’ve kept your loss low relative to the total amount you have set aside for emergency purposes. And whether you invest some or all or none of your emergency fund is a personal decision that you should consider carefully because investments can be risky but they can also be very rewarding so I’d say get advice and take your time when making a decision like this. And what’s good and works for someone else may not be the right way for you and that’s okay as well. And just to state the obvious but I will anyway, it’s never a good idea to keep your emergency money at home under your mattress or in your wardrobe or whatever you’d choose to hide it because you’re missing out on two important things (a) protection of your money against theft and (b) the potential to earn interest because what’s 100% sure is that if you keep it at home in cash you’re earning and will always earn 0%. And let me leave you with one last thought about emergency funds and this is aimed at people who don’t have one. The best advice I’ve ever heard about emergency funds is that the best time to build one is when you don’t have an emergency, not when you’re in the middle of one. The motivation to build one is that you’ll have more control and more peace of mind should something unexpected happen. And I’d say whilst you're building the fund, worry less about the interest and more about the amount you save each month because that’s what’s going to get you to the amount you need, not the interest rate.

Following the customary all-party meeting on the eve of the Parliament’s winter session commencing Monday, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Rijiju told reporters that the government has appealed to all the parties to ensure smooth conduct of business in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha. Forty-two leaders from 30 parties attended the meeting, which was chaired by senior BJP leader and Defense Minister Rajnath Singh. On Congress’ demand to hold discussions on the Adani issue on “priority” apart from a host of other matters, including the Manipur unrest, Rijiju said the business advisory committees of the two Houses will take a call on the subjects of parliamentary business with the consent of the Lok Sabha speaker and the Rajya Sabha chairman. Raising the matter at the meeting, Congress’ Deputy Leader in the Lok Sabha, Gaurav Gogoi, dubbed the Adani issue as a scam, saying the government should not reject or ignore their demand on any “technicality” as it concerns Indian institutions and investors. Billionaire industrialist Gautam Adani, whose conglomerate includes a host of companies covering power to ports sectors, has been charged by US prosecutors for allegedly being part of a scheme to pay USD 265 million (about Rs 2,200 crore) bribe to Indian officials in exchange of favorable terms for solar power contracts in four Indian states. The Adani Group has denied the charge, saying the allegations leveled by the US prosecutors are baseless and that the conglomerate complies with all laws. Congress leader Pramod Tiwari also said the government should set aside other businesses to discuss the issue on priority. It is a grave issue involving the country’s economic and security interests, as over Rs 2,300 crore was allegedly paid by the company to politicians and bureaucrats to get favourable deals for its solar energy projects, the Rajya Sabha MP said. Raising the Manipur violence, Gogoi said the ruling dispensation jailed the Jharkhand chief minister (Hemant Soren) and made changes in Jammu and Kashmir for a variety of reasons, but kept its faith in Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh despite his alleged involvement in violence. The matter must be debated in Parliament, he said. The winter session is scheduled to be held from November 25 to December 20. At the meeting, two BJP allies from Adnhra Pradesh—the Telugu Desam Party and the Jana Sena Party—raised the issue of pending implementation of the promises made during the division of the state in 2014 under the Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Act, saying the Parliament should know their present status. “We want the government to put the status on record,” TDP leader Lavu Sri Krishna Devarayalu told PTI, noting that while some promises have been fulfilled and some are being taken up, a few still remain unfulfilled. Jana Sena leader Balashowry Vallabhaneni spoke on similar lines. The Polavaram irrigation project has come to a standstill, Devarayalu said, adding that the Parliament must also discuss disaster management as so many southern cities are getting affected due to heavy downpours triggered by climate change. Asked about his party’s stand on the Adani issue, Devarayalu said more details need to come out but added that his party does not want the state’s brand image to be harmed. The meeting was attended by BJP President J P Nadda, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh, DMK’s Tiruchi Siva, Akali Dal’s Harsimrat Kaur Badal and LJP (Ram Vilas) MP Arun Bharti, among others. Siva asked the Centre to withdraw the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, which the government is keen to table in the session despite opposition by several Muslim organisations. Bharti raised the issue of Bihar being hit frequently by floods and sought a relief package, besides demanding that the lateral entry provision should be given a constitutional status to safeguard the interests of SCs and STs. The government has listed 16 bills for consideration in the Winter Session. The bills pending in the Lok Sabha include the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, which has been listed for consideration and passage after a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) of the two Houses submits its report on it to the Lower House. The panel is mandated to submit its report on the last day of the first week of the Winter session. The opposition members in the panel are demanding an extension in the timeline to submit its report. Accusing the JPC Chairman and BJP MP Jagdambika Pal of bulldozing the committee’s meetings, the opposition members sought the intervention of Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla. Commenting on the matter, Rijiju said there is a provision to extend the tenure of the JPC but as of now, there have been no discussions on it. He also underlined that the business advisory committee of the Lok Sabha is the right platform to discuss the issue of extending the JPC’s timeline. . As many as eight bills, including the Waqf (Amendment) Bill and the Mussalman Wakf (Repeal) Bill, are pending in the Lok Sabha. According to a Lok Sabha bulletin, two bills are pending with the Rajya Sabha. A Rajya Sabha bulletin said an additional bill — The Bharatiya Vayuyan Vidheyak — passed by the Lok Sabha is pending with the Upper House. A set of proposed bills to implement simultaneous elections in the country are not part of the list yet, though some reports suggested that the government is likely to bring the proposed legislation in the coming session.
