EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Voters in Canada’s oil-rich Alberta province overwhelmingly backed remaining in the country, referendum results showed Tuesday, delivering a boost to Prime Minister Mark Carney’s push for national unity as U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war and annexation threats rally Canadians around their country.

A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
Last winter, as Daniel Harper worked on his first full-fledged ski movie, he got the call: a big storm was headed to Lake Tahoe. There was a problem, though. Harper was in Jackson, filming another segment, more than ten hours away by car. He raced overnight down mountain highways and through blizzards so he could make it in time for the opening of Palisades Tahoe’s iconic lift, KT-22.
Along the way, it snowed so hard that Harper occasionally couldn’t tell the difference between the road and the sky. He made it, though, and when Tahoe local Noah Gaffney sliced a few beautiful McConkey turns down the Fingers the next morning, he had his camera ready.
The moment highlighted all the glorious bits that make skiing, well, skiing, with a hectic storm chase bookended by the perfect line. But the 2025-26 season provided far too few of those joy rides. Harper set out to make his movie with big dreams. When a historic snow drought hit the West, he also got an education in flexibility and an all-too-apt film name: Low Tide.

The patch of turbulence arrived early in Harper’s career, both as a filmmaker and a snowboarder. Growing up in Georgia, he played football and only caught the snow sports bug at 18 when he moved West to attend college. In the hills, he found a passion for videography, too, and Harper, now 22 and a resident of North Lake Tahoe, coined his efforts Zero G Films.
While Harper dropped a movie last fall called The Unknown, it was a no-budget project. He said he considers Low Tide the first “through and through ski film” from Zero G. Originally, the movie was supposed to have another name, but as the season got underway, Harper decided it didn’t fit (he’s keeping the original name under wraps and plans, most likely, to use it this coming season).
“It was a terrible winter, and there was barely any snow,” he said. “We just went with Low Tide. I pitched it to the athletes and the sponsors, and they all loved it. And it just seemed it was more fitting and more authentic for the winter that we had.”

The new movie brought more athletes—Gaffney, Josh Gold, and Isaac Kaufman, to name a few—and more sponsor support. Those are all great and exciting things, but with more riding on LowTide than on his previous film, the tough winter started stressing Harper out.
Trips got canceled. Harper planned to shoot more in the backcountry than proved feasible. He botched an interview segment with snowboarder Tilden Wooley, who spent much of his summer in Chile, so Harper had to do some last-minute editing. But when things got heavy, he found inspiration in his pops.
“He instilled a solid work ethic in me, and to not really ever give up on anything, and I’ve always seen him work really hard through some pretty hard situations,” Harper said.
He also saw a silver lining amid the wet snow and patchy grass.
“I think not having such an insane winter allowed me to slow down,” Harper said. “There are so many lessons that I learned this winter about safety and production and how to interact with the athletes and how to kind of manage the team while also still being able to enjoy it.”

Thankfully, it wasn’t only the school of hard knocks. Harper shared some highlights. During his first day in the Tahoe backcountry, he filmed snowboarder Shayne Blue Sandblom hucking a meaty cab underflip. The trip to Jackson produced plenty of tantalizing pow shots. He was stoked to see how much his Wyoming friends, who also appeared in The Unknown, had progressed over the past year. The deep snow they found didn’t hurt, either.
Then, of course, there was the race for KT-22. When Harper finally pulled into Tahoe after hauling over from Jackson, he couldn’t get to his place on Donner Summit because there was too much snow. He crashed that night at Gold’s house and headed to Palisades when dawn arrived. The line for KT-22 looked how it often does when the snow piles up: thronged with antsy skiers.
From the lift’s base, the Fingers are visible, a famed collection of rocks and chutes that draws the best of the best on powder days. That’s where Gaffney, who caught one of the first trips up the mountain, made a beeline for.
“He just took like three turns down the Middle Knuckle and was down it before you knew it, and after that, everybody was just so stoked to finally get some blower turns and solid conditions,” said Harper.
The no-holds-barred run may mark Low Tide’s high point and, when it first went down, received plenty of admiration around the Lake. Gaffney’s uncle and longtime Matchstick Productions filmmaker, Scott, wrote in an Instagram comment at the time that it was “arguably the best Fingers line ever.” Harper’s lens work captured the thrill.
With an additional segment shot in Sugar Bowl and Palisade’s terrain parks—plus footage captured when conditions did line up—Harper left the 2025-26 season with more than memories and new skills. He also had a movie and a fresh perspective on a culture where he’s still a relative newcomer. This was only Harper’s fourth season snowboarding, after all.
“I think this winter just kind of showed me that it’s more about the community at the end of the day than it is about getting this trick or sending this line,” he said.

Miley Cyrus kicked off her “Miley: Bass Persuades – Live at the Hollywood Bowl” shows on Friday night at the famed Los Angeles venue, giving her first headlining performance in years.
The pop star, who is going mononomously as just Miley for this era, announced this pair of Friday and Sunday shows in early September along with the news that her new album, “Bass Persuades,” would be released on September 18 via Atlantic Records. “It’s been a while,” said Cyrus of the shows at the time on Instagram. “The Hollywood Bowl is my favorite place to experience music and see my favorite artists. I’ve sat in those seats many times, but I’ve never taken the stage. LA is my heart and I’m bringing it home. See you there. ❤️ Miley.”
Indeed, it has been a while since Cyrus graced the stage as a headliner outside of festivals. The closest approximation was a performance earlier this year at the taping for the “Hannah Montana” 20th anniversary special, and before that with “Spotify’s Billions Club Live” in Paris last June for a select group of fans. The month before that, she debuted her new album “Something Beautiful” with a fan-only TikTok event at Los Angeles’ Chateau Marmont. The last time she did a full-fledged tour was for “Bangerz” in 2014.
Cyrus has been open about her decision not to tour, telling British Vogue in 2023 that after the “Bangerz” tour, she decided to take a break from it. “It’s been a minute,” she said at the time. After the last [headline arena] show I did [in 2014], I kind of looked at it as more of a question. And I can’t. Not only ‘can’t,’ because can’t is your capability, but my desire. Do I want to live my life for anyone else’s pleasure or fulfillment other than my own?”
Last month, Cyrus clarified her stance on live performances during an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, explaining that she’d be more open to doing residencies. “This is the ultimate dress rehearsal,” she said of her Bowl shows. “I’ve learned now through the queue that my calculations are correct and people will come to me. I don’t need to drive to you. Proven, that was a quick test. I win. So this is perfect because people like to see me perform and I like to sleep in my marshmallow bed so we can both be happy.”

The remnants of Hurricanes Rachel and Simon are combining with a cold front, and more mountain snow is on the horizon.
On Monday, October 12, 2026, meteorologist Chris Tomer broke down which mountains saw snow over the weekend and how the next storm system could continue to impact different areas in the coming week.
This past weekend, parts of Montana, including Showdown Mountain and Big Sky, picked up a fair bit of snow at their highest elevations. Showdown in particular got nearly 20″, while totals at Big Sky were unknown. However, further south in Utah, remnants of Rachel came in as rain in significant amounts in some areas. Flash-flooding closed Big Cottonwood Canyon on Sunday after 1-3 inches of rain fell in a short period of time. Tomer noted that a continued cold front in the coming days could turn that precipitation to snow higher up in the Wasatch.
On Monday, a low-pressure cycle will move into the Sierras before crossing Utah and Colorado, and “it will bring precipitation,” said Tomer. The highest elevations at Jackson Hole picked up a solid dusting of snow as of Monday morning, showing just how far north that cycle reached.
Throughout the rest of the week, more cold air and precipitation will move across the Rockies, sitting over Colorado for much of October 15. Low elevations across the Front Range will likely see rain, whereas higher elevations in the state should see snow accumulate. By October 16th, the remnants of Simon will cross New Mexico and southern Colorado, potentially increasing snowfall totals across the San Juans.
Tomer’s forecast models show that between Monday night and Wednesday, Alta could see 10″ of snow at mid-mountain and 18-20″ at the top of the resort. At Loveland, the same models show 5″ of snow at mid-mountain and 8-10″ at the top by Wednesday.
By Wednesday night, October 21, Tomer is predicting less than 2″ of snow in Montana and Idaho, 6+” in Wyoming’s Wind River range, 1-3″ in the Tetons, 8″ at mid-mountain elevations in the Wasatch, 6″ at mid-mountain, and up to a foot up high in the Sierras.
In Colorado, mid-mountain totals are forecasted to be 12″ at Silverton and Winter Park, 11″ at Snowmass, 9″ at Loveland & A-Basin, 8″ at Aspen Mountain, 7″ at Crested Butte, Keystone, Eldora, Breckenridge, and Ski Cooper, 6″ at Vail and Copper Mountain.
You can watch Tomer’s full forecast below.
OpenSnow’s recent forecasts for Utah and Colorado show similar precipitation, snow levels, and temperatures over the next couple of weeks, though higher snow totals are expected.
Meteorologist Alan Smith is predicting 23″ at Snowbird, 20″ at Alta, 18″ at Brighton, Silverton, and just over a foot at Brian Head and Solitude. Deer Valley and Park City could both pick up 10″ while A-Basin, Loveland, Steamboat, Winter Park, Wolf Creek, Aspen, Breckenridge, and Copper are all forecasting between 6-8” over the next five days.

Colin Jost returned as an especially rowdy Pete Hegseth in this week’s “Saturday Night Live” cold open, welcoming home sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln after nearly a year at sea.
The Oct. 10 sketch opened with an introduction to the ship’s returning crew, who were told that before reuniting with their families, they would first have to hear from “the guy who put you on the boat in the first place.”
Enter Jost’s Hegseth, sporting an ammunition belt stocked with miniature bottles of Fireball Cinnamon Whisky, “the only alcohol designed to taste better on the way back up.”
“How are you sailors doing tonight?” Hegseth asked the crew.
“We’re bad,” they responded.
“I heard awesome,” he shot back.
The sketch took aim at reports of deteriorating conditions aboard the aircraft carrier, including plumbing issues and mental health struggles among the crew during their extended deployment.
“I couldn’t be more proud of you. Only eight of you attempted suicide. Two of you since I started talking,” Jost’s Hegseth said. “You executed over 3,000 combat missions and you did it with zero casualties, zero flight mishaps, and zero working toilets.”
He then honored one particularly brave sailor who managed to hold his bladder for 300 days rather than complain about the broken bathrooms. When the sailor asked if he could finally relieve himself, Hegseth directed him to a Starbucks three blocks away.
Jost’s Hegseth also caught the sailors up on some of the Trump administration’s latest activities on land, including plans for a televised execution in December. “Public executions are back, kind of like ‘Scrubs,’” he announced, adding that if the prisoner survives the firing squad, he’ll have to fight Jake Paul.
He then proudly unveiled the Department of War’s new eagle logo, which has drawn comparisons to Nazi imagery.
“Sorry, is that a Nazi eagle?” one sailor asked.
“It’s an American eagle with a Nazi vibe, okay?” Hegseth replied.
The sketch then brought out James Austin Johnson as RFK Jr. to deliver an equally questionable update on the country’s health.
“I’m happy to report that America is healthier than ever,” Johnson’s Kennedy began, in the Secretary of Health’s signature croaked voice. “That’s why I would officially like to rename cold and flu season to cold and flu and listeria and measles and trench brain season.”
He also addressed recent meat recalls, assuring Americans that catfish, pony and cricket remain “valuable proteins” before revealing that the recalled products had been tested on the sailors themselves.
“The research you provided on Operation Hell Cruise will be vital for years to come,” he said.
Hegseth wrapped up his welcome-home speech with a musical tribute to the sailors, quoting Linkin Park’s “In the End.”
“You tried so hard and got so far, but in the end it doesn’t even matter,” he sang, before thanking the crew for being willing to go down with the ship — even if it breaks his “personal rule of never going down on anyone.”
The cold open comes just two days after the real USS Abraham Lincoln returned to San Diego following a 322-day deployment supporting the U.S. war against Iran. The aircraft carrier spent more than 260 consecutive days at sea without a port call, with reports of supply shortages, broken plumbing and eight suicide attempts among personnel assigned to the carrier strike group. Hegseth visited the ship on Wednesday, where he presented its crew with the Presidential Unit Citation and acknowledged personally approving two extensions of its deployment.
Jost also appeared as Hegseth in last week’s cold open, which saw the defense secretary chugging Tom Holland’s non-alcoholic Bero beer while joining a cast of Republican officials attempting to drum up excitement ahead of the November midterm elections.
This week’s episode is hosted by Shane Gillis, marking his third time hosting the NBC sketch comedy series since being fired as a cast member in 2019 over resurfaced racist and homophobic remarks. Rosalía serves as musical guest.

SPOILER ALERT: This article contains spoilers for the “Lanterns” finale, now streaming on HBO Max.
Have no fear, the “Lanterns” finale is here.
The season finale — or possibly the series finale, since HBO hasn’t renewed the show yet — wrapped up the mystery posed by the show’s premiere of who killed Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler). The episode, titled “Dirt and Stars,” also revealed the identity of the second Manhunter, and set up how John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) becomes Earth’s sole Green Lantern in DC Studios’ forthcoming “Superman” sequel, “Man of Tomorrow.”

The episode starts back in 2016 Rushville in the aftermath of the town’s destruction from the first Manhunter attack. Sheriff Kerry (Kelly Macdonald) finds Hal in the wreckage, and then it’s revealed that she picks him up from prison in 2026 after he’s released, waiting with beer and flowers. With their feelings for each other blossoming, the two go out for dinner, which is full of Rushville patrons with lingering hatred for Hal. Kerry defends him in front of everyone, the two later sleep together and Kerry invites Hal to her son Noah’s (Shea Pritchard) football game. However, Hal’s house is firebombed in the middle of the night, and he doesn’t manage to escape. Hal wakes up on the floor of a strange lab with Noah standing over him, explaining that he replaced Hal’s burnt skin using the same Manhunter technology that had healed John in 2016. After much speculation online, Noah is the secret second Manhunter!
In present day, back on the planet decimated by the Manhunters, John interrogates Sinestro (Ulrich Thomsen) and learns that Noah freed the villain from prison. Sinestro reveals that he harnessed the fear-inducing gas from the planet to create a new, yellow ring for Noah. As comics fans know, Sinestro is the creator of the Yellow Lanterns, an evil group opposed to the Green Lanterns who derive their power from fear. Sinestro offers John the chance to charge his depleted ring from the sinister, yellow lantern, but Hal’s hologram stops him, and they leave Sinestro marooned on the planet.

Noah ambushes John when he returns to Earth, the two drive back to Rushville together. Noah reveals that he didn’t burn down Hal’s house, but says he was the one who killed him. He claims he couldn’t let Hal reveal his identity as a Manhunter and the yellow lantern to Kerry. Noah says he’s trying to overcome his violent Manhunter programming, and asks that John kills him to protect everyone from what he might do. John doesn’t answer, but lets Noah go and play one last football game for Rushville.

John joins Kerry at Noah’s game and asks her about her son being a Manhunter, convinced that she knew all along. Then, in a flashback, we see the moments right before Hal’s murder and the truth is finally revealed. After Zoe Macon (Poorna Jagannathan) saved Kerry and replaced her severed finger years ago with Manhunter technology, Kerry somehow got pregnant with Noah, who turned out to be a Manhunter like Zoe. Knowing Noah’s identity and fearing what he was planning, Hal confronted Kerry, and said they could run away and protect themselves. Kerry refused to leave, and in her fear, shot and killed Hal as he tried to reason with her by saying, “Goddamnit, I love you.” In the present, John assures Kerry that he won’t kill Noah, and instead lets her continuing raising him (as he goes on to play football at the University of Nebraska).

In the episode’s final moments, John calls Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion) to Rushville and shows off his “unsanctioned” ring and lantern he took from Hal. John names himself the Green Lantern of Earth, in a sort of “independent contractor” role, and tells Guy to look after the stars while he protects the planet. Hal’s hologram appears and gives some last words of wisdom to John, saying he’s ready to take on the Green Lantern mantle. John tells the hologram that his final words to Kerry before his death were “I love you,” and the Hal replica repeats them earnestly back to John.
With his ring powered up, John flies over and drops off a bag of money as restitution to the waitress Maggie (Hannah Christine Shetler) who lost her family in the Manhunter attack. He also has a touching reunion with his family back home, including his estranged mother Bernadette (Jasmine Cephas Jones). Finally, in a twist on the classic Green Lantern oath from the comics, John personalizes the phrase with an emphasis on his newfound accepting of his fear.
“In brightest day / in darkest night / I embrace my fear / I’ll do what’s right / I choose this ring / I choose this fight / in service to / this lantern’s light.
Courtesy of John Johnson/HBO Max
While there’s no word yet on “Lanterns” Season 2, despite the show’s strong ratings for HBO, we know that Pierre will reappear as John in next summer’s “Man of Tomorrow,” James Gunn’s “Superman” sequel. It may be an awkward reunion with Fillion’s Guy Gardner, but now we know how the two Green Lanterns from Earth have decided to split up their duties. How will things go when the two heroes come face to face? How will they team up with Superman, Supergirl and the fledgling Justice League when the alien Brainiac attacks? And could Chandler have a cameo as the hologram Hal within John’s ring? We’ll have to wait and find out when “Man of Tomorrow” continues the DC Universe’s story on July 9.

A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
