City urges Calgarians to stay safe on the water this summer after last year's rescue increase
City officials are urging Calgarians to prioritize safety while enjoying water activities, especially on the Bow River. Article content 'Our city's waterways are wild places in an urban setting, and we're seeing a growing number of preventable incidents on our rivers,' said Carol Henke, public information officer with the Calgary Fire Department. Article content Article content In 2024, the fire department saw a 31 per cent increase in aquatic rescues over the previous year, and an above-average number of fatalities. Article content Article content 'Make a plan, check the weather and water conditions and be aware of any potential hazards specific to the waterway that you are choosing to recreate on.' Article content Henke said most of the incidents the CFD sees are preventable, as long as safety precautions are taken. Article content 'A lot of people maybe don't think about the risks,' she said, 'It's a beautiful day, you're not thinking about something going wrong. You're thinking it's going to be a nice little float down the river.' Article content Article content Advisories, updates and detailed safety guidelines can all be found on the City of Calgary's website. Article content Calgarians can get stuck with a fine for floating or boating without a life jacket, or while impaired. Article content Article content 'Most people don't realize that what applies to roads and drivers also apply on water,' said Calgary Police Service inspector Kurt Jacobs. Article content 'Please don't get on the river here in unsafe waters and then impair your judgment by alcohol or drugs,' Jacobs said. Article content With paddleboarding becoming increasingly popular on Calgary's rivers, CFD community safety officer Alex Kwan urges users not to use the ankle leash that comes with most boards, or stand-up paddleboard anchors. Article content 'On the river with that current, it becomes a drowning hazard,' Kwan said. 'Any of those things could weigh you down and drag you down.' Article content For inflatable watercrafts, Kwan recommends using something that has multiple air chambers, and ensuring that it's inflated to the proper pressure. Article content Sergeant Mark Smith of Calgary Community Safety said officers will be patrolling the shoreline over the summer, not just for enforcement, but for safety as well. Article content

Expanding the crypto trading experience: exploring CFDs with Octa broker
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - Media OutReach Newswire - 27 June 2025 - Crypto has been booming for quite a while now. But for those who missed the hype train or find the highly volatile crypto market unsuitable, contracts for difference (CFD) present a viable—and arguably more secure—asset type. The experts at Octa, a global broker since 2011, explain why CFDs are worth exploring to expand experience with the financial markets. New trends, old problems The crypto market experienced turmoil throughout 2024. Bitcoin reached multiple all-time highs in a span of one year, and altcoins tried to follow suit. In early 2025, the appearance of the TRUMP coin reinforces the global trend for crypto's increasing media presence and violent fluctuations of the crypto market. However, even with the current uptrend, the downsides of the crypto market persist. Excessive volatility and the speculative nature of most crypto assets make it a bumpy ride for anyone who aims for consistent outcomes. Among the most popular assets that can be traded instead of crypto, one stands apart for flexibility and accessibility: contracts for difference, or CFDs. These financial instruments allow traders to speculate on the price movements of an asset without owning it. Instead of buying or selling the actual asset, traders enter into an agreement with a broker to exchange the difference in the asset's price from when the contract is opened to when it is closed. This asset price difference constitutes CFD traders' profits or losses. Below are some of the main advantages of CFD trading over investing in traditional crypto assets. Ride with the wave One of the worst situations crypto investors can face in their journey is sudden and prolonged downtrends that appear out of nowhere. Profit potential disappears when the entire market suddenly begins to fall. In cases like these, even portfolio diversification won't help. In contrast, the contract nature of CFDs allows for more flexibility, enabling traders to act on both upward and downward trends. CFD trading enables positions to be opened in anticipation of both rising and falling prices. In other words, CFDs as an asset hold twice as much potential for gains—any swing in asset price can turn into a profit opportunity. Better conditions, lower costs Top CFD brokers can often offer superior trading services, and here's why. Crypto traders regularly face slow order execution, high slippage, and unexpected fees imposed by crypto exchanges. On the other hand, CFD brokers often offer lower spreads and more efficient order execution, which can affect profits significantly if the markets show high volatility. For example, Octa, a CFD broker boasting extensive market experience, offers some of the best trading conditions on the market. The broker's portfolio contains a wide variety of CFD assets, including CFDs on crypto, gold, and indices. Octa's clients have the option to replenish their accounts using cryptocurrency and withdraw funds directly to their cryptocurrency wallets. It is important to note that while Octa facilitates these transactions, the broker does not directly engage in providing services related to cryptocurrency. Instead, it operates through reputable partners who possess the necessary licenses to conduct cryptocurrency-related activities. No wallet, no worries Stories about astronomical amounts of cryptocurrency gathering digital dust on an unrepairable hard drive or unused e-wallet inaccessible because of a lost password have been filling the web for ages. But the risks of losing digital capital due to some transactional or e-wallet issues are more than real. CFD traders don't own cryptocurrencies—or any other underlying asset, for that matter. Instead, they are speculating on the price movement of the underlying asset and can, therefore, tap into the asset's profit potential while avoiding the risks of owning it. CFD traders don't have to manage e-wallets, and that frees them from significant cognitive load—not to mention obvious risks. What's more, the risk of a crypto exchange being hacked and all their digital capital stolen doesn't concern them either. With their flexibility, security, and accessibility, CFDs allow traders to step up their game and avoid many of the drawbacks cryptocurrencies are so famous for as a tradable asset. On top of that, with CFDs, traders can diversify their portfolios since these instruments encompass the whole gamut of various underlying asset types, including precious metals, stocks, and indices. ___ Disclaimer: This press release does not contain or constitute investment advice or recommendations and does not consider your investment objectives, financial situation, or needs.

Odisha beach horror: 10 men gangrape college student, hold boyfriend hostage
BERHAMPUR/BHUBANESWAR: Ten men allegedly gang-raped a Plus III student after holding her boyfriend hostage on a popular beach in Ganjam district on Sunday evening. Seven of the 10 were detained on Monday and efforts are on to nab the rest. Police sources said the 20-year-old survivor had gone to the beach with her boyfriend, who studies with her. They were sitting in a secluded area of the beach when the men surrounded them around 9.30 pm. "The allegedly drunk perpetrators made vulgar remarks at the girl. When her boyfriend objected to their behaviour, they assaulted him and dragged him away while others raped her. They held the boyfriend hostage at a distance," a police officer said. Police sources said the men gagged her, preventing her from raising her voice. The perpetrators fled after raping her. The girl reached the police station around 11 pm. Initially, she was hesitant to file a complaint. But was later persuaded by her boyfriend to lodge a complaint, police said. "We have detained seven out of 10 suspects, all in their 20s. All of them belong to Ganjam district. Raids are being conducted to nab the remaining three accused. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 180k traders turn to IC Markets for optimum CFD trading conditions IC Markets Sign Up Undo Most of them are unemployed.

Police sources said the survivor lives in a rented apartment with three other women. The survivor underwent medical examination and appears to be stable. She is being provided with psychological support, police said. The incident comes days after the alleged gang-rape of a Class IX student in beachside hotel in Puri. Three men were subsequently arrested. "The affected stretch of beach in Ganjam reportedly lacks proper illumination.

According to Debasis Kumar, vice-president of Hotel Association of Puri, "Safety of visitors at tourist places should be accorded top priority. Police should review security measures at prominent tourist hangouts at regular intervals."
