IRVINE — November 13, 2026 -- A driver who logs 25,000 miles a year uses up a typical 8-year/100,000-mile EV battery warranty in 4 years. VinFast offers its VF 8 and VF 9 electric SUVs in the U.S. with a 10-year battery warranty that has no mileage limit under standard personal use.

Most warranties expire at whichever limit arrives first, years or miles. VinFast's own examples for an 8-year/100,000-mile policy:

BILOXI — November 12, 2026 -- A Mississippi comedian whose following the release puts at more than a million will spend three days, December 4–6, filming holiday events along 62 miles of Gulf shoreline. Coastal Mississippi, the regional tourism marketing organization, has named Landon Bryant, known online as LandonTalks, its Official Guide to the Holidays for the 2026 season.

Bryant visits Coastal Mississippi for three days, December 4–6

Bryant will appear at holiday events on the Coast and post original content from them. The organization lists parades, Santa sightings and waterfront celebrations among the stops. Anyone hoping to meet him has a short window: December 4 to 6 inclusive is three days.

MINNEAPOLIS — November 12, 2026 -- Seeing King Tut's tomb in Minnesota means looking at more than 100 replicas, not original treasures. Discovering King Tut's Tomb, produced by Imagine, opens November 13 in the North Atrium on Level 2 of Mall of America in Bloomington.

Standard admission covers all 11 galleries. That works out to about nine replicas per gallery on average (100-plus replicas across 11 galleries). Artisans in Cairo made them by hand, using the tools, materials and techniques of ancient craftspeople, according to the organizers.

Standard admission leaves out the audio tour and the VR headset

Both are optional add-ons, so anyone who wants them pays on top of the base ticket. The organizers list three upgrade routes:

BROOKLYN – November 13, 2026 -- Eight people are dead and 18 are injured, 26 casualties in all by our count, after a three-story building collapsed into an adjacent construction pit at Flatbush and Bedford Avenues. The first 911 call came at 4:01 p.m. Wednesday, according to the FDNY. Rescue operations ended Thursday afternoon, after crews found no more victims.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani said the dead are six adults, including two construction workers, and two children. The injured include four firefighters. One person is in critical condition, and Mamdani said most of those still in hospital are stable.

FDNY Commissioner Lillian Bonsignore said separately that the victims include seven children. That conflicts with the mayor's count of two. Law enforcement sources identified a 9-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy among the dead.

PHOENIX — – November 13, 2026 -- A student who transfers the maximum 87 eligible credits would still have 33 of the 120 credits left to complete, by our calculation. That is the math behind University of Phoenix's new online business analytics degree, a Bachelor of Science in Business Analytics (BSBAN) taught 100% online.

Students typically take one five-week course at a time. The university says the program is built for working adults.

The Locked-In Pricing Guarantee fixes one per-course price until the program deadline

The price covers both tuition and resource fees and stays fixed through the completion deadline of a student's enrolled program. It follows the university's Tuition Guarantee, which for nearly a decade held per-credit tuition rates steady from enrollment through graduation. The new guarantee bundles resource fees into the fixed figure. The university has not published the per-course price in its announcement.

GREAT FALLS – – November 13, 2026 -- Before you buy a single shrub for a Great Falls yard, a HelloNation article says to check five things about the site: slope, drainage, soil, sun and wind.

The article features lawn care expert James Hoiland of Lawn Care Experts of Great Falls, Montana. It frames landscape design in Great Falls around the local climate: cold winters, hot summers and periods of strong wind.

Wind gets its own mention. According to the article, strong gusts can damage delicate plants and affect where outdoor structures go. It also advises looking for low spots and areas prone to standing water, to head off drainage problems and plant loss.

For hard surfaces, the article says temperature swings can cause frost heaving in winter and expansion in summer. It describes proper drainage and installation techniques as the way to protect stone, concrete and gravel.

MIAMI – November 12, 2026 -- Eighty-six guests gave the Ismael Cala Foundation more than $200,000 in a single evening, an average of more than

JERUSALEM -- November 12, 2026 -- More than 600 Christian leaders and pastors spent eight days in Israel from November 4 to 11, and one evening of the trip ended with a lifetime award for the head of a Christian-Jewish charity. The Black Christian Leadership Council on Israel Relations gave Yael Eckstein, President and Global CEO of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (The Fellowship), its Lifetime Achievement Award at a gala in Jerusalem on November 9.

The gala fell on day six of an eight-day Holy Land tour

The dinner was part of the council's 'Unfinished Business' tour. The delegation included Black American and African pastors. The council says the trip aimed to commemorate Black-Israel solidarity and to stand with the Jewish community amid rising anti-Semitism.

NEW YORK – November 13, 2026 -- A 150,000-copy print supplement inside USA TODAY puts obesity care in front of an estimated 450,000 readers over three days, with actress Chrissy Metz on the cover.

Publisher Mediaplanet launched its Future of Obesity Care campaign on 13 November. The special publication runs in USA TODAY from 13 to 15 November 2026. Mediaplanet's 450,000-reader estimate works out to about three readers per printed copy, by our calculation.

Four health organizations contribute to the publication's articles

Mediaplanet says the campaign aims to present obesity as a complex, chronic disease and to counter weight stigma.

FORT COLLINS – November 13, 2026 -- Colorado law requires drivers to carry liability coverage, but the minimum limits may not be enough after a crash, says Fort Collins insurance agent Ben Parsons in a HelloNation article. The piece sets out what drives auto insurance premiums in the city and which of those factors a driver can change.

Parsons says a higher deductible lowers monthly premiums but raises the cost of a claim

That is the central trade-off in the article. A lower deductible does the reverse: it raises the monthly cost and reduces the out-of-pocket bill after an accident. The article also advises adding comprehensive and collision coverage, which it says covers damage, theft and natural events. Newer or high-value cars typically need both, which pushes premiums up.

According to the article, these factors shape what you pay:
