Ashford, who started 10 games over two seasons at Auburn before transferring, made good on coach Shane Beamer’s vow that multiple Gamecock quarterbacks could win games if given the chance.
Ashford finished with 243 yards passing, including scoring throws of 30 yards to Mazeo Bennett and 12 yards to JuJu McDowell. Ashford also ran for a game-high 133 yards with a scoring run of 36 yards.
Oscar Adaway, playing when starting tailback Raheim Sanders left the game early with an injury, had a pair of two-yard scoring runs.
Ashford was 15-of-21 passing. With many in the stadium and watching from home expecting the Gamecocks (3-1) to make their living on the ground, Ashford instead was able to unsheathe the Gamecocks’ previously anonymous receiving game.
Bennett, a freshman receiver, had five catches for 71 yards.
Akron (1-3) was led by 110 passing yards from Ben Finley, who threw for one TD but also had an interception. The Gamecocks’ defense held the Zips to 154 yards.
The Gamecocks also finished with zero turnovers, which was a concern over their first three games.
Akron posted its lone score just before halftime, running six plays for 70 yards and Adrian Norton finishing with a 42-yard pass for a touchdown. Ashford couldn’t handle a snap on fourth-and-short on the ensuing drive to squelch an opportunity, and with the Zips getting the ball first in the second half, a 22-7 lead could have been further whittled.
But the Gamecocks forced a punt, then forced another before Adaway collected his second touchdown. Third-string QB Davis Beville threw his first South Carolina touchdown to backup tight end Connor Cox while S.C. State transfer Jawarn Howell had a 23-yard rushing TD.
South Carolina is hoping to get good news concerning Sellers and Sanders before the high-flying Ole Miss Rebels come to Williams-Brice Stadium.
Takeaways
Akron: It was a game needed for the ledger. The Zips pocketed $1.5 million from South Carolina to come to Columbia. The Mid-American Conference schedule will decide the season.
South Carolina: The Gamecocks were able to find another dimension with their offense, even with a top part of it mostly sidelined. The next two weeks of recovery will be key to how they prepare for their next opponent, Top-10 Ole Miss.
Up Next
Akron opens Mid-American Conference play at Ohio on Saturday.
South Carolina has next week off before facing No. 5 Mississippi at home on Oct. 5.

WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah — After decades of selling products and supporting families at the Redwood Swap Meet, things are about to change.
"It’s devastating. It's part of the community, its part of the history here,” said Angela Edge, who has been coming to the Swap Meet for her whole life.
"My dad brought us; he's passed now. But I brought my kids, we brought my grandkids now," she said
She said the Redwood Swap Meet has made it possible for her to buy things for her 10 kids.
"This is where we buy the shoes, this is where we buy the clothes. Economically, this is what we do," she said.
On Tuesday night, the West Valley City Council voted to rezone the Redwood Drive-in Movie Theatre, which is where the swap meet is hosted, from commercial to residential land. Edge Homes is the developer that wants to turn the area into 40 condos and 244 townhomes.
"We wanted it to stay commercial so that we could purchase it as a commercial land, and keep the Redwood Drive-in and Swap Meet,” said Cristian Gutierrez Carbajal, one of the organizers pushing against the rezone.
Through the summer, this community hosted rallies, signed petitions, attended public meetings and spread the word to try to save their swap meet.
Edge Homes told FOX 13 News that the swap meet will likely stay open until the end of 2024.
Hundreds of vendors rely on the swap meet to make a living. Many of them don’t know where to go next.
"I am asking right now: Is there a place in here? Where they can find for us? Because we are willing to move. We just need help,” said Maya Dominguez, one of the vendors.
"It’s a place where people can come together and essentially reach a goal, thrive together towards the American dream, and it's beautiful to see just the wide range of generations coming together to push a movement forward,” added Jessy Fernandez, another vendor.
They hope to keep doing everything they can to continue the swap meet — even if it means finding a new home.

Long-term investors with a minimum time frame of one year can buy the shares of Bajaj Finserv (₹1,917) now. The stock has been in a strong uptrend since May 2020. After making a high of ₹1,932 in October 2021, the share price started to fall and ran into a correction phase for more than two years. This correction has happened in the form of a wedge pattern on the chart. The decisive breakout above ₹1,660 in August marked the end of this correction. The strong follow-through rise since then confirms that the broader uptrend has resumed. Cluster of supports are there in the ₹1,700-1,550 region. The stock has potential to target ₹2,400-2,500 first. After that another leg of correction towards ₹2,200-2,100 is a possibility. But eventually the stock can break above ₹2,500. That break can take Bajaj Finserv share price up to ₹3,000. Long-term investors can buy now at ₹1,917. Accumulate on dips at ₹1,740. Keep the stop-loss at ₹1,520. Move the stop-loss up to ₹2,050 when the price goes up to ₹2,450. Revise the stop-loss further higher to ₹2,600 when the share price touches ₹2,850. Exit the stock at ₹3,000.

Raj Kapoor kept this one condition to meet newborn Karisma Kapoor in the hospital.
Updated : Sep 22, 2024, 08:21 AM IST | Edited by : Riya Sharma
Raj Kapoor, often referred to as Charlie Chaplin of Indian cinema, was very affectionate towards his kids and grandkids. It is also said that Karisma Kapoor was his favourite. However, do you know that Raj Kapoor once refused to see newborn Karisma?
Yes, Raj Kapoor had kept one condition to visit the hospital to see newborn Karisma Kapoor. He added that he would only visit the hospital if the newborn had blue eyes. In the book, Raj Kapoor: The One and Only Showman, Babita said, “I remember the day Lolo was born, the entire family was with me by my side at Breach Candy Hospital, except my father-in-law. He said that he would come to the hospital only if the newborn had blue eyes. Thank the lord that Lolo had deep blue eyes, like my father-in-law.”
Babita later clarified that Raj Kapoor only visited the hospital to see Karisma Kapoor after he was informed that the newborn baby had dark blue eyes. She was grateful and relieved after seeing Karisma's eye colour.
In the same book, Raj Kapoor’s daughter Ritu Nanda revealed how Raj Kapoor reacted when Karisma Kapoor used to say that she wanted to become an actress. She said, “It is strange but Lolo (Karisma) also would be asked the same question by her grandfather! Lolo also used to say that I wanted to be an actor, and he would say the same line one day you will be a big star.”
Karisma Kapoor entered the film industry despite her father’s disapproval. She left college to become an actress and made her grand Bollywood debut with film Prem Qaidi in 1991 and subsequently played the leading lady in several box office hits, including Jigar, Anari, Raja Babu, Coolie No. 1, Saajan Chale Sasural, and Jeet. She became one of the highest-paid actresses in the 90s and starred in the top-grossing romantic films like Raja Hindustani and Dil To Pagal Hai which established her as a superstar.
Her sister Kareena Kapoor also made her mark in the industry and is currently impressing everyone with her performance in the movie The Buckingham Murders. The actress is one of the leading ladies in Bollywood and is awaiting the release of her upcoming movie Singham Again.

India is on track for a significant victory in the Test match; however, rain may pose a concern for the team led by Rohit Sharma.
Updated : Sep 22, 2024, 08:09 AM IST
As the 1st Test between India and Bangladesh nears its conclusion, fans are anxiously monitoring the weather conditions in Chennai, hoping that rain does not disrupt the game.
The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) has forecasted that Chennai will experience light to moderate rain from September 20th to 25th. This inclement weather, which may be accompanied by thunder and lightning, has the potential to impact Day 4 and Day 5 of the match.
On Day 4, the sky is expected to be partly cloudy with scattered showers and thunderstorms likely in the afternoon. Looking ahead to Day 5, moderate rain is predicted for September 21st, increasing the likelihood of delays in the match.
While the weather forecast does not indicate a washout threat, India is not willing to take any chances. India is pleased with their performance in the first Test match. Despite Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma not scoring runs, most of the players performed well. R Ashwin played a crucial role in leading India to a dominant position. When India was struggling at 144/6, Ashwin partnered with Ravindra Jadeja to add 199 runs for the seventh wicket. Although Jadeja fell short of a century, being dismissed for 86, Ashwin managed to score his sixth Test century.
Jasprit Bumrah was outstanding as usual, taking four wickets to help India bowl out Bangladesh for 149. He received excellent support from Siraj, Akash Deep, and Jadeja, who each took two wickets.
In the meantime, Rishabh Pant made a remarkable return to Test cricket by scoring a brilliant century. Pant scored 109 runs off 128 balls, dismantling the opposition. This was Pant's sixth Test century, placing him alongside MS Dhoni as Indian wicket-keepers with six centuries. Pant achieved this milestone in his 58th innings, while Dhoni took 144 innings to reach six centuries. Shubman Gill also silenced his critics by scoring his fifth Test century.

Broad was on the receiving end of six consecutive sixes by India's Yuvraj Singh during the 19th over of a game in the 2007 T20 World Cup in South Africa.
Updated : Sep 22, 2024, 08:09 AM IST
England's renowned bowler, Stuart Broad, recently reflected on what he considers to be the lowest point of his cricketing career. In a moment that has become etched in T20 cricket history, Broad was on the receiving end of six consecutive sixes by India's Yuvraj Singh during the 19th over of a game in the 2007 T20 World Cup in South Africa.
Looking back on the incident in 2024, Broad humorously suggested that Yuvraj may have hit seven sixes in a row if not for a missed call by the umpire. He quipped that it could have been seven sixes if the umpire had correctly identified one of the deliveries as a no-ball.
During the onslaught, Broad made the decision to switch from bowling over the wicket to around the wicket. Unfortunately, his attempt to change his approach backfired when he delivered a full toss that Yuvraj promptly dispatched over point for yet another six. Reflecting on the moment, the former England pace bowler mused that the ball could have been considered a waist-high no-ball, jokingly suggesting that Yuvraj might have hit a seventh six if the call had been made.
"I've never watched that back, but I must admit, I got lucky to get away with a no ball," Broad told ex England captain Michael Atherton during a commentary stint. "It could've been seven sixes!" he further added.
In a historic match, India emerged victorious with an 18-run margin. Yuvraj Singh's exceptional performance, where he scored 70 runs off 30 balls against Australia in the semifinals, was instrumental in India clinching the inaugural T20 World Cup.
Following the incident involving Stuart Broad, he solidified his reputation as a top-tier cricketer by amassing 604 wickets in 167 Test matches for England. In T20 Internationals, he participated in 56 matches and took 65 wickets, while in One Day Internationals, he claimed 178 wickets in 121 matches. Notably, he holds the distinction of being England's second-most capped player in Test matches, behind only James Anderson.

A major data breach at Star Health exposed the personal information of over 31 million customers.
Updated : Sep 22, 2024, 08:18 AM IST
A massive hacking incident has hit one of India's largest health insurers, Star Health, exposing the personal information of over 31 million customers. The stolen data, which includes sensitive medical reports, has reportedly been made available to the public through chatbots on the messaging app Telegram.
According to a report by Reuters, the personal data of Star Health's customers is being offered for free via these chatbots. A user with the alias "xenZen" is said to have created these bots, allowing people to request and download various sensitive documents. These documents include policy details, claims information, and even medical diagnoses. Reuters tested the system and managed to download more than 1,500 files containing names, phone numbers, addresses, tax details, copies of ID cards, test results, and medical diagnoses of customers. Some of the documents were as recent as July 2024.
Jason Parker, a security researcher based in the UK, revealed to Reuters that he posed as a potential buyer on an online hacker forum. On the forum, the user "xenZen" claimed responsibility for creating the chatbots and said they had access to 7.24 terabytes of Star Health customer data. A message in the forum warned that if the bot was taken down, another would quickly replace it, indicating the hacker's intent to continue sharing the data.
While Telegram has removed some of the initial chatbots after being alerted to the situation, new ones have reportedly emerged, continuing to offer Star Health's customer data. A Telegram spokesperson, Remi Vaughn, stated that the platform strictly forbids the sharing of private information and removes such content as soon as it is detected. Vaughn mentioned that Telegram moderators use proactive monitoring, AI tools, and user reports to remove millions of harmful posts daily.
Star Health has acknowledged the breach and is working closely with law enforcement agencies to address the issue. The company assured its customers that, despite the hacking incident, their sensitive data remains secure. In a statement, Star Health said, "The unauthorized acquisition and dissemination of customer data is illegal, and we are actively working with law enforcement to address this criminal activity. Star Health assures its customers and partners that their privacy is of paramount importance to us."

Here are five compelling reasons to consider skipping the iPhone 16 and waiting for the iPhone 17.
Updated : Sep 22, 2024, 08:09 AM IST
With the iPhone 16 series set to launch on September 20, 2024, many tech enthusiasts are eager to get their hands on the latest model. However, if you can hold off for another year, waiting for the iPhone 17 may be the smarter choice. The iPhone 16 series promises some upgrades, but it largely follows a familiar pattern with incremental improvements. In contrast, early rumors suggest that the iPhone 17 could deliver more significant enhancements. Here are five compelling reasons to consider skipping the iPhone 16 and waiting for the iPhone 17.
1. Upgraded Display for Standard Models
One of the most exciting rumors surrounding the iPhone 17 is the potential for a larger display. Reports indicate that the standard models may feature a 6.27-inch and 6.86-inch display, up from the current 6.12-inch and 6.69-inch sizes. More importantly, the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Plus are expected to include ProMotion technology, boasting a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling and a more responsive experience—far superior to the 60Hz refresh rate of the iPhone 16.
2. Enhanced Selfie Camera
For selfie lovers, the iPhone 17 is rumored to come with a 24MP front-facing camera across all models. Apple has stuck with a 12MP selfie camera since the iPhone 14 series, but the jump to 24MP could significantly enhance photo quality, making your selfies even sharper and more vibrant. If capturing stunning selfies is a priority for you, waiting for the iPhone 17 could be worth it.
3. Increased RAM for Better Performance
Performance is another area where the iPhone 17 is expected to shine. Analysts predict that the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models will come with a substantial upgrade to 12GB of RAM, compared to the 8GB found in the current models. The standard iPhone 17 may also receive a RAM boost, enabling improved multitasking capabilities, enhanced AI features, and overall better performance. If you rely on your device for demanding tasks, the increased RAM will be a significant advantage.
4. Introduction of the iPhone 17 Air
In a notable shift, Apple may replace the "Plus" models with a new iPhone 17 Air. This model is anticipated to have a slimmer and lighter design, likely featuring a single rear camera similar to the iPhone SE. With a display size around 6.5 inches, the iPhone 17 Air could provide a fresh option for those who prefer a more portable device without sacrificing quality.
5. Innovative Features: Under-Display Face ID and Anti-Reflective Display
The iPhone 17 may bring groundbreaking innovations, such as under-display Face ID technology, allowing for a more seamless design while enhancing security. Additionally, rumors suggest the introduction of a new anti-reflective, scratch-resistant display that could outperform Apple's current Ceramic Shield. Some reports even hint at the use of Gorilla Glass Armor, which would provide added durability.

A polar bear in Iceland was handled by police in this way after being deemed a threat to residents near a remote village.
Updated : Sep 22, 2024, 08:17 AM IST
A polar bear in a remote village in northwest Iceland was shot and killed by police on September 19, after it was considered a threat to local residents. The bear had wandered close to a cottage, sparking concerns for the safety of the people in the area. Police made the decision to kill the animal after consulting with Iceland’s Environment Agency, which decided that relocating the bear was not a safe option.
Westfjords police chief Helgi Jensson told AP that while it was not an action they wanted to take, the bear was too close to a summer house. Inside the house was an elderly woman, who was alone at the time. She had locked herself upstairs in fear when the bear began rummaging through her garbage. The woman used a satellite link to contact her daughter in Reykjavik for help. Luckily, she remained safe and stayed upstairs as instructed by police.
Polar bears are not native to Iceland, but occasionally they drift ashore from Greenland on ice floes. The bear that was killed was the first one sighted in Iceland since 2016. Over the centuries, there have only been about 600 recorded sightings of polar bears in the country. The bear weighed between 150 and 200 kilograms and will be taken to the Icelandic Institute of Natural History for examination. Scientists will study its health, check for parasites or infections, and may preserve its pelt and skull for the institute’s collection.
Although polar bears are a protected species in Iceland, authorities are allowed to take lethal action if a bear poses a danger to humans or livestock. While attacks on humans by polar bears are very rare, a 2017 study showed that climate change and the loss of sea ice are pushing hungry polar bears to venture onto land more often, increasing the chances of encounters with humans. Between 1870 and 2014, there were 73 recorded attacks by wild polar bears across the five countries where they are found, resulting in 20 deaths and 63 injuries.

In a related incident, a separate snake video has also captured public attention. Panic erupted at Rishikesh's Yognagari railway station when a snake was spotted slithering along the platform. The sight of the reptile sent commuters into a frenzy, with terrified passengers scrambling for safety. Many left their luggage and belongings behind in their haste to escape the snake, which suddenly appeared from the tracks. Eyewitnesses reported chaos as people shouted warnings to one another and ran for cover. The commotion quickly turned the platform into a scene of confusion, with people trying to warn others about the snake's presence.
Both videos underscore the unpredictability of encountering snakes in everyday life and the natural fear they can provoke. As these incidents circulate on social media, they remind viewers of the importance of caution and respect for wildlife. The viral nature of these videos not only entertains but also serves as a reminder of the unexpected moments that can occur in our surroundings.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A SEPTA driver was gunned down outside of his Philadelphia home six years ago. Now, his mother is asking for the public's help to find his killer.
Priscilla Johnson uses glowing words to describe her son, Wilfred.
"He loved sports, he loved fun, he loved to dance, he loved to go out. He was just one loving person who loved life," she said. "He was the son that every mother would want to have."
Priscilla says she didn't know how many people Wilfred touched until he was gone.
"I never knew he was loved so much but the love that poured out to him helped my heart because my heart is so broken," she said.
On September 10, 2018, the 43-year-old SEPTA bus driver was coming home from work. At about 8:45 p.m., police were called to the unit block of North Millick Street in West Philadelphia.
There they found Wilfred, who had been shot multiple times.
"Whoever did this was waiting for him because he was shot multiple times in the back," his mother said.
Wilfred was pronounced dead at the hospital.
The City of Philadelphia is offering up to $20,000 in reward money and the TWU Local 234 is offering $5,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible.
All you have to do is call the Citizens Crime Commission at 215-546-TIPS. All calls will remain anonymous.
"While I am here on this Earth if anybody is out there that knows something, that seen something please call and report it. That's all I want is justice," said Priscilla.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Two years have passed since Temple University graduate Everett Beauregard was gunned down in the Powelton section of the city.
Everett's parents, Eric and Leslie, along with his friends lit up the sidewalk along North 35th and Spring Garden streets on Saturday night.
The couple honored their son's memory through the Everett Beauregard Foundation.
Its main goal is to help at-risk youth, especially those impacted by gun violence.
Investigators say Everett was gunned down at random.
Police are still searching for the male suspect in this case as well as a 1990s to early 2000s two-toned, green-colored Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Anyone with information on this case is asked to contact Philadelphia police.

PENNSYLVANIA (WPVI) -- U.S. Senator JD Vance was in Pennsylvania on Saturday as the election draws closer and new polls are being released.
Vance, who is former President Donald Trump's vice presidential pick, touched down in Harrisburg with his family before heading to Berks County.
Action News traveled with his motorcade to several stops, including the King Food Supermarket in Reading, where he talked about inflation.
"Look at the prices here, they are way too expensive because of Kamala Harris' policies," Vance commented.
RELATED | Vance, Walz agree to vice presidential debate on Oct. 1 in New York City
In Leesport, at a rally on the Berks County Fair Grounds, Vance focused on the economy, which he also blamed largely on Harris.
"We are not going to let Kamala Harris forget that she opened the border, she went to war with police, she tried to ban fracking and she is fired on November 5. We're not going to let her get away from it," Vance told the crowd.
A new poll from The New York Times/Philadelphia Inquirer/Siena College is gaining a lot of traction in the last 44 days until the election.
It states that Harris is leading by four points in Pennsylvania, but she and Trump are tied nationally among likely voters.
Action News asked Vance how much significance he was putting into those polls.
"The polling doesn't matter, your voice matters," he answered.

NORTH WILDWOOD, New Jersey (WPVI) -- It was a busy weekend down at the Jersey Shore as Saturday was the last official day of summer.
The summer was capped off with the annual Irish Fall Festival, which has been a tradition for so many residents.
"The bagpipers, they start at 8 o'clock in the morning to practice for the 10 o'clock show right here on 8th Street -- we love it," said George and Debbie Wilson from North Wildwood.
"My family all gets together, we enjoy the music, it's just lively," added Kathleen Glenn from Fairmount.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Ja’Khi Douglas had a 36-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter and Florida State defeated Cal 14-9 on Saturday in the Bears’ first Atlantic Coast Conference game.
Patrick Payton had three of Florida State’s seven sacks, the last when Marvin Jones Jr. and Edwin Joseph combined to sack Cal’s Fernando Mendoza on fourth down with 54 seconds left. The Bears had driven to the Florida State 23.
Lawrance Toafili had 17 carries for 80 yards and a 2-yard touchdown for Florida State (1-3, 1-2 ACC).
FSU's DJ Uiagalelei was erratic, completing 16 of 27 passes for 177 yards but it was his touchdown pass to Douglas that gave the Seminoles the lead early in the fourth quarter.
Mendoza completed 22 of 36 for a season-best 303 yards for Cal (3-1, 0-1). The Miami native also had an interception.
Cal running back Jaydn Ott returned after missing a game due to injury, picking up 73 yards on 13 carries.
The takeaway
California: While the Bears picked up 422 offensive yards, they missed two field-goal attempts of under 40 yards. Pre-snap penalties often hurt Cal drives.
Florida State: The Seminoles were held to just 284 offensive yards, the fourth straight game they couldn’t surpass the 300-yard mark.
Up next
Cal has a bye and plays host to No. 8 Miami on Oct. 5.
Florida State plays at SMU on Saturday.

- Current FSU students and alumni came together Saturday for a celebration of shared culture as well as their love for all things garnet and gold.
- As of fall 2023, Hispanic students make up 20 percent of the student body.
- Watch the video above to see how they're celebrating their heritage along with FSU fooball.
BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
Not your average tailgate — one with Seminoles representing their cultures from around Latino America.
I'm Alberto Camargo, your College Town neighborhood reporter.
Current FSU students and alumni came together Saturday for a celebration of shared culture as well as their love for all things garnet and gold.
Take a look at this map.
You can see how diverse the roots are among the more than 100 Seminoles -- past and present -- who were in attendance Saturday.
NATALIA RAMIREZ-ROMERO / PRESIDENT, HISPANIC/LATINX STUDENT UNION:
"We find unity among the struggles that we sometimes face, but we can celebrate the fact that that played a critical role in what our identity is."
I spoke with Ana Martinez from the Hispanic/Latino Alumni Network. She says this event was in part just to let the FSU community know the H-LAN has a presence.
ANA MARTINEZ / PRESIDENT, FSU HISPANIC/LATINO ALUMNI NETWORK:
"We want people to know that we are here because we're a new network, a lot of people do not know we exist."
The H-LAN was established in 2020 -- that may surprise you, it certainly surprised me.
I checked student demographics at Florida State.
As of Fall 2023, Hispanic students make up 20% of the student body.
A big difference from the 1980s -- when Juan Valdes was a student.
He says back then -- finding someone like him was rare.
JUAN VALDES / BOARD MEMBER, HISPANIC/LATINO ALUMNI NETWORK:
"When you see the diversity now, almost 25% of students are Hispanic/Latino, it's amazing the growth over the last few years."
Martinez says the H-LAN was long overdue. "I never would have pictured hearing this music in front of Doak, or speaking Spanish without people turning around like "What is she doing?"
The Hispanic-Latino student union says several events from student-led discussions to a multicultural showcase — finishing with a closing ceremony on October 15.

- The third Saturday of September marks International Coastal Cleanup Day.
- Hundreds of neighbors in Tallahassee joined the global effort by cleaning up lakeshores and parks across town.
- Watch the video to hear why neighbors feel it's important to take care of the nature and wildlife around us.
BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
Nearly 13 million people around the world hit coastal areas near them for International Coastal Cleanup Day. Joining the global effort are hundreds of neighbors hoping to make a dent on pollution closer to home. I’m Kenya Cardonne at Lake Ella in Midtown, one of dozens of parks neighbors spent the morning cleaning up while speaking to me about why this simple act has a bigger impact than most realize.
Every third Saturday of September is also known as International Coastal Cleanup Day.
It's a day for cleaning up millions of pounds of trash in coasts and bodies of water around the world.
Anna Hopkins, Board Chair for Keep Tallahassee Beautiful - “So we do our part here in Tallahassee to organize groups to go around town.”
Coordinating Tallahassee’s contribution to the global effort is Keep Tallahassee Beautiful.
It’s their 32nd annual cleanup and their biggest participation yet, with almost 40 groups of neighbors spread out at parks and lakeshores across the city and county.
Hopkins - “Last year, just one of our groups picked up 100 pounds at one location. So, you multiply that by how many groups we’re getting— I think we’re going to have a lot of impact.”
I spoke with crews working at Lake Ella in Midtown.
Isaac Martinez, Cleanup Member - “So we can save the ducks!”
Neighbors of all ages got their pickup tools to work, including 5-year-old Isaac Martinez.
He filled his own bag with things like..
Martinez - “Glass and plastic and some rope connected to something.”
David Smith, Troop 115 - “So currently we have four bags and they’re pretty full. They’re getting kind of heavy but we’re persevering.”
David Smith with Troop 115 tells me he’s sad to see wildlife sharing their habitat with trash like alcohol containers, water bottles, gloves and plastic bags.
Smith - “Especially here at Lake Ella. We have a lot of wildlife like the ducks and I’ve seen them, even today, come up to the bags and nibble at them and it’s like ‘no bud, you can’t eat that.’”
Volunteers tell me the work done Saturday also teaches communities that.. to enjoy wildlife and nature is to also be responsible with it.
Smith - “They were in this area before we were and so we should take care of them because, really, we’re the stewards of this area and if we don’t take care of them, no one will.”
If you want to participate in the next big cleanup, a city and countywide cleanup called the Super Clean Sweep will take place on March 1st next year.

Clear skies are helping temperatures drop into the 70s tonight with lows bottoming out in the upper 60s early Sunday morning. Skies stay clear and dry throughout the night with the moon visible after it rises just past 10 pm.
Sunday morning starts with clear skies as lots of sunshine warms temperatures through the 70s into the mid 80s by noon. Highs reach the low 90s with skies remaining sunny to mostly sunny into the afternoon. A very localized shower cannot be ruled out but nearly all of the region stays dry throughout the day on Sunday.
Sunny skies continue through midweek across the area with only localized rain chances before Thursday. This brings highs into the low 90s and overnight lows in the upper 60s and low 70s.
By Thursday, the forecast will be highly dependent on what is likely to become either Tropical Storm or Hurricane Helene in the Gulf of Mexico. As of now, the center will track as far west as Louisiana or as far east as the west coast of Florida. While there is great uncertainty in track and intensity, there is enough confidence to suggest at least isolated to scattered storms are possible starting Thursday with some increased cloud cover. Stay tuned to ABC 27 First To Know Weather for the latest on this storm.

Meta’s funding of XR bears fruit as Quest gets exclusive new capabilities
Meta has spent billions of Dollars and lots of years funding the growth of XR (Extended Reality). CEO Mark Zuckerberg is convinced that this is the future of computing, and so the company keeps experimenting. Now the Meta Quest headsets, and Horizon OS in general, have just gotten a revolutionary new set of tools.
Godot Engine, a game development engine like Unity and Unreal, has now gotten a VR version that doesn’t require a PC. Meta started funding this project months ago and the result is an engine that you can work in without ever having to take off your Meta Quest 3. And because Meta made Horizon OS available to third parties, any future XR devices running on Horizon can also use Godot.
The biggest advantage of Godot in VR is the fact that you won’t have to switch between your desktop and your headset to preview your game. With everything happening inside VR you’re able to keep an eye on things every second of development.
Another really cool feature is the ability to switch between development and playing the game instantaneously. And if you’re developing a flat screen game you can test it in a virtual window while the editor remains open in another.

An excellent headset and now a game development kit too? | Video credit — Meta
This is exactly the kind of practicality Apple marketed for the Vision Pro. But while Apple’s headset sees poor sales due to cost concerns Meta is ready to launch an even cheaper headset: Meta Quest 3S. And the Quest 3S will also support Godot — alongside everything else Quest 3 can run — making it an excellent headset for those on a budget.
Godot is just one example of Meta’s attempts to capitalize on a burgeoning industry. The company is almost ready to demo its AI-powered AR smart glasses, possibly this month at Meta Connect. Meta has also just extended its agreement with EssilorLuxottica, shattering Google’s plans to develop smart glasses with the Italian-French eyewear manufacturer.
Due to Horizon OS going public, Asus and Lenovo are designing XR devices of their own that will be running on Meta’s platform. This is an excellent time to jump into VR and I have my fingers crossed for some amazing innovation in the industry sooner rather than later.
If you want to try out Godot for yourself you can get it on the Horizon Store here.

The Masked Singer Recap for Soundtrack of My Life Night
It is Soundtrack of My Life night on Fox’s The Masked Singer. There is a double elimination as the remaining Group B finalists compete.
–Beets: Banana Split (David Foster and Katharine McPhee) are there….maybe a connection? Both of the Beets recall becoming fathers and how it changed their lives forever.
They sing One Moment in Time by Whitney Houston and WOW, what a way to begin the night. This is by far their best performance since they began this season. I am so obsessed with them now and hope they make it to the end.
Their clue this week is a record connects them to Nick…..with a wild night and a drink.
Guesses: Shawn and Wanya from Boyz II Men, K-CI and JoJo, Josh Groban and Brian McKnight, Dan and Shay
–Seal: He chooses It’s Tricky by Run DMC. He has a bad boy reputation but wants to be seen for his softer side…..or at least find balance.
The performance is fun, but I don’t know if it is just me, but it seemed a bit hard to hear?
The clue connects him to Jenny…with a house call. They hosted each other…..
Guesses: Corey Feldman, Macaulay Culkin, Jerry O’Connell
–Gumball: He freaked out before his first performance, but did it for his wife. Growing up, he never fit in and sometimes feels that way. However, he is lucky to have support from loved ones.
His rendition of Carry On My Wayward Son by Kansas shows a new side of him and a whole lot of confidence. It is quite impressive.
His clue connects him to Dr. Ken and a time they worked together.
Guesses: Jack Black, Zachary Levi, James Marsden
Seal is eliminated! He is none other than Corey Feldman!
Gumball and the Beets sing Time of My Life from Dirty Dancing and…..it is quite an interesting performance. I would have paid to see them do the jump/lift like they did in the movie.
The Beets are eliminated and revealed to be Clay Aiken and Ruben Studdard from American Idol!

Several arrested following pro-Palestine demonstration at Lake Eola, police say
ORLANDO, Fla. - Eight people are in custody following a Pro-Palestine gathering in Downtown Orlando, according to the Orlando Police Department.
Officials said a peaceful demonstration with 20 individuals took place around 4:00 p.m. at Lake Eola. Officials said the group walked around the area peacefully as they were monitored by officers before concluding around 5:15 p.m.
Investigators said around 5:30 p.m. officers responded to a report of a disturbance near the Publix on East Central Boulevard. Upon arrival to the call, officials found some of the demonstrators arguing with a person officers said had opposing views from them.
A member of the Pro-Palestine group lunged at an officer and the individual in a threatening manner when an officer tried to intervene, according to police.
The officer then arrested the demonstrator and others who attempted to interfere with the arrest, according to police.
Eight demonstrators were arrested on various charges, including Disorderly Conduct, Battery on a Law Enforcement Officer, Resisting Arrest with Violence and Resisting Arrest Without Violence, according to police.

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) BMG, in partnership with Rhino Entertainment, announces the release of 'Out Of The Cellar' 40th Anniversary, celebrating RATT's massively successful first studio album with Limited Edition versions which include an UNRELEASED TRACK recorded during the 1983 Out of the Cellar sessions.
Formed in Los Angeles, RATT was featured as an unsigned act on Uncle Joe Benson's Local Licks Drive Time Show on KLOS-FM. This was their first time on radio and led to their signing to Atlantic Records.
Featuring the classic line up of Stephen Pearcy (vocals), Warren DeMartini (guitars), Robbin Crosby (guitars), Juan Croucier (bass/vocals), and
Bobby Blotzer (drums), RATT exploded on to the national scene in 1984 with the release of 'Out Of The Cellar.'
Featuring an undeniable hook and legendary music video, the lead single "

University leaders say they are coordinating with Philadelphia police to ensure the safety of their community and campus.
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Pro-Palestinian protesters remained on Drexel University's campus in Philadelphia on Monday, despite calls from school leaders to disband.
Barricades surrounded the new encampment while police watched along the outskirts, keeping a close eye on the demonstrators.
"I just hope the situation is resolved as peacefully as possible," said Chan Sean, a student at Drexel.
Roughly 40 to 60 protesters took up camp at Korman Quad on Drexel's campus just after 7 p.m. Saturday.
It happened after hundreds of people gathered at City Hall as part of the Philly Palestine Coalition's Nakba Day march to call for a ceasefire in Gaza.
Protesters are currently asking Drexel to divest from any companies or partnerships negatively impacting Palestinians, to publicly support a ceasefire, to redistribute its financial profits to support the Palestinian economy and rebuild Gaza, and to disclose its investments.
They are also asking that Drexel defend advocacy for Palestine and abolish its police department, according to a post on social media.
The quad where demonstrators have set up camp was built in part thanks to an $8 million gift from the Hyman Korman Family Foundation. Korman, the Philadelphia builder, was Jewish and an online search shows the foundation originally gave to many Jewish causes. It has since expanded to a wide variety of philanthropic efforts.
Students who spoke with Action News on Sunday said things seemed calm at the school, despite the group that has dubbed itself the Gaza Solidarity Encampment.
Tensions rose on Saturday night, however, as officials set up barricades and protesters tried to break them apart.
Police in tactical gear made a brief appearance to maintain order.
Several students and alumni stopped by the encampment Sunday to see what was happening on campus, which went on lockdown shortly after the demonstrators arrived.
"I've seen everything on social media, I wanted to see it in the flesh. When it happens on your campus, it all means something but it hits a little closer to home," noted Jake Fischer, a Drexel alum.
Drexel's president released a statement on Sunday, calling for the encampment to end.
President John Fry stated in part, "This encampment must end. I want to remind Drexel students who are participating in this protest that they could face disciplinary action for violating our Student Code of Conduct. Encampment participants who are unaffiliated with Drexel are unlawfully trespassing."
Some say they agree with the president, not wanting the protesters to make students feel unwelcome on campus.

"Everyone has a right to protest and everyone has a right to say what they want, but you can't make other people feel unsafe. It's a shame people who aren't associated with the university are coming and making that statement," said Fischer.
"As a Jewish student, seeing antisemitism and hate speech impacts the way I function as a student here. It doesn't sit well," added Daniel Gittleman, a freshman at Drexel.
Protesters within the encampment have so far declined interviews with the media, telling others not to speak out as well.
One sign in the encampment read, "We kindly request to not speak to media and direct them to our media liaison."
As the campus remains on lockdown, officials warn that no one can enter a school building without a Drexel ID.
Officials also announced that classes would be virtual on Monday.
Students told Action News they're conflicted over the protest taking place, especially as it impacts their day-to-day routines.
"Disappointing, annoying, inconvenient. I guess I understand why, but it'd be nice to be able to go to class and not have to deal with all of this," said Elijah Galdieri, a sophomore at Drexel.
"They're all kind of telling their stories, it's very interesting. They all believe. They'll believe till the end," said Carmelo Giargiari from Lafayette Hill.
"I pay a lot to come to Drexel and for us to just get classes pushed back wastes my money," added Gittleman.
University leaders say they are coordinating with Philadelphia police to ensure the safety of their community and campus.
Read President John Fry's full statement below:
"I am writing to update you with further details regarding the pro-Palestinian encampment that was set up on Korman Quad last evening.
As of now, about 40 to 60 individuals are participating in this encampment without the University's permission or authorization. As we shared in last night's message, to minimize the possibility of further disruptions, including attempts by protesters to occupy our learning and working spaces, we have placed our buildings and facilities on lockdown, with access provided only to those with clearance from Drexel Public Safety. So far, non-Drexel affiliates attempting to enter our buildings have been turned away without incident.
While protest encampments such as this one are not legally protected, we had hoped last night that this demonstration would remain peaceful and respectful of others. Regrettably, that is not the case here. This demonstration already has proved intolerably disruptive to normal University operations and has raised serious concerns about the conduct of some participants, including distressing reports and images of protestors subjecting passersby to antisemitic speech, signs and chants.
These kinds of hateful and intimidating acts must be condemned, and they cannot and will not be tolerated. Moreover, it has become increasingly apparent that most of the encampment participants are outside individuals who are unaffiliated with Drexel. Those who wish to report incidents or share their concerns are encouraged to contact our Office of Institutional Equity and Inclusive Culture (EIC). More information on how to contact EIC and report an incident is available at this link.
Drexel will not allow anyone or any activity to sabotage our teaching and research activities or contribute to a hostile environment that leaves any member of our community feeling threatened, harassed, or intimidated. We are therefore coordinating with local officials and the Philadelphia Police Department to ensure the safety of our community and the continued operations of our academic and research endeavors.
We have opened a line of communication to the protestors and will try to prevail on them to cease and desist from their unauthorized demonstration. To be clear, however, this encampment must end. I want to remind Drexel students who are participating in this protest that they could face disciplinary action for violating our Student Code of Conduct. Encampment participants who are unaffiliated with Drexel are unlawfully trespassing.
Ensuring everyone's safety and freedom from threats, harassment or intimidation, and preventing damage to our buildings, and campus spaces are my top priorities. That is why we will maintain the lockdown on buildings and facilities on our University City campus and move to remote learning and virtual operations for all nonessential personnel for tomorrow. Anyone with questions about working remotely should contact their supervisor. Researchers engaged in critical activity that requires in-person work will be allowed access to campus with approval from their dean or division head. A separate communication will be sent to deans and division leads with instructions on how essential personnel can obtain clearance from Public Safety to enter a campus facility.
We will continue to provide updates regarding this situation or any changes to the University's operations. Meanwhile, I ask for everyone's patience and understanding as we work toward ensuring that our campus can soon return to normal."

PENNSYLVANIA (WPVI) -- Governor Josh Shapiro unveiled Pennsylvania's new state tourism brand in Moosic, Lackawanna County on Monday.
"This is where America pastimes were born, and they're just down the road," Shapiro told a crowd.
Tourism generates more than $76 billion a year and supports 460,000 jobs across the commonwealth, experts say.
It's part of the governor's proposed $18 million increase in the budget to boost the industry.
"We want to show the rest of the world that Pennsylvania is indeed the Great American Getaway," he said.
The initiative has been dubbed the'Great American Getaway'campaign.
Shapiro is now expected to head out on a week-long RV tour with the first family to highlight Pennsylvania's best tourist attractions.

NORRISTOWN, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- The vehicle involved in a fatal hit-and-run in Norristown, Pennsylvania has been found - but the driver remains at large.
The victim, a 57-year-old man, was struck around 11 p.m. Sunday at Main and Astor streets.
A red shoe and other clothing belonging to the man who was struck could be seen in the roadway.
The incident was caught on Ryan Clark's surveillance system.
"I saw a striking vehicle hit a pedestrian that was in the intersection and then take off, and the vehicle continued to go while the body laid lifeless on the middle of the street," said Clark, of the Norristown Tattoo Company.
He says reckless driving is a big problem on the block.
"My building's been struck at least three times since I've been here in 2019," he said.
The striking vehicle was located on Wood St. near Arch St. in Norristown around 1 p.m. Monday.
The black Hyundai Sante Fe had damage to the front end and windshield.
People who work in the area say it's a problem and that it's unfortunate that it's come to this.
Ron Sickle heard the collision.
"I looked over and I saw a cop walking up here in the middle of Main Street flashing a flashlight down, flashlight on a body," Sickle said.
He said it's dangerous to cross the street at all times of the day.
"Awful, I mean how the street is and not having a traffic light here and people going in and out. Trying to cross the street is very hard," Sickle said.
Investigators were at the scene for several hours overnight.
People who work around the area say they've tried convincing community leaders to put in a stop sign or even a traffic light, but no change has been made as this latest investigation continues.
The victim's name has not been released.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Mayor Cherelle Parker has mandated that all Philadelphia city employees will report to the office five days a week starting July 15.
Parker made the announcement during a news conference on Monday morning.
She stated that this decision aims to enhance personal productivity and encourage social connections.
Parker says the move goes along with her commitment to creating an accessible workforce for the residents of Philadelphia.
"Our workforce is the only way that Philadelphia truly becomes what I promised to the people, that is the safest, cleanest and greenest big city in America with access to equal opportunity for all," Parker said.
Parker said the new policy establishes that occasional remote work will be permitted to address "periodic life circumstances."
The mayor also announced the following changes for all permanent full-time, part-time and provisional employees:
-'Just in time' emergency care needs for child and elder care
-Increased paid parental leave
-Relaxation of restrictions on the use of sick leave for family members
-Designation of the Friday after Thanksgiving as a holiday
Parker said in 2023 approximately 80% of the city's workforce worked fully on-site. Of the remaining 20%, city employees worked approximately 31 of 75 hours per pay period on-site.
Parker said that having the remaining 20% back in the office improves everyone's productivity.
"If facilitates communication. It promotes social connections. Along with collaboration, innovation, and inclusion," she said.
But officials from the union that represents many of the remaining 20% hybrid workforce say: Not so fast.
David Wilson, president AFSCME District Council 47 Local 2187, says his members' productivity has not diminished under the hybrid system and Mayor Parker's decision came with little notice.
He said the way it was handled is unfair.
"It took us all by surprise to have a unilateral implementation that's going to cause such a negative impact on my members," he said.
Meanwhile, if you're looking for people who are happy about the announcement, look no further than the eateries near City Hall which rely on heavy foot traffic to stay in business.
"We're talking about maybe $3,000 a week worth of difference. We're barely holding on and we need their help to come back to work," said Darren Hinman, the manager of Express Breakfast and Lunch.
Local 2187 says it has a meeting with Parker on Thursday, saying it will fight the initiative.
All senior officials returned to full-time in-office work in March.

CHERRY HILL, New Jersey (WPVI) -- Karen Cohen had been a teacher for 30 years. But when she suddenly lost her father, she wanted to run away.
The place she chose was South Africa & Madagascar, for her love of animals and nature.
But what she found was a village in need of bare necessities. And thus, her first trip there was not her last.
Cohen created the Philawell Foundation. Through it, she has returned to Africa with items such as shirts, dresses, flip flops, and other essentials. She has also contributed to the creation of two wells to provide clean water.
The Katz JCC, Cohen's former workplace, has contributed to her cause by donating shirts.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- This weekend is the unofficial kick-off to summer and for many families, that means vacation. If your trip will include a rental car, we have a story you have to see.
There is a company offering low rates for fancy cars for customers, but folks can also make money by renting out their own vehicles. It's like an Airbnb for cars.
"I'm a five star power host," said Paul Lopez III of West Philadelphia.
Lopez doesn't rent out his house. He rents out his vehicles.
"I put it on the platform and it just took off. I mean, it was getting bookings after bookings."
Lopez is a host on Turo, which claims to be the world's largest peer to peer car sharing marketplace.
"Over 1,500 makes and models that travelers can book from local hosts," said Albert Mangahas of Turo. "We're really revolutionizing this idea of car rental."
We decided to take Turo for a spin. We searched for a vehicle for a one-week rental in Los Angeles from August 26th through September 2nd.
Among a long list of options is a BMW i4 for $64 a day, an Audi Q8 for $54 a day and a Toyota RAV4 for $37 a day.
"You want an SUV, you want a luxury car, you want an exotic car - they have it," said Lopez.
One of the better deals we found is a 2022 Kia K5, a midsize sedan, for $35 a day, for a total of $340.66 for the week.
If you're looking for a traditional car rental, you can do that with websites like AutoSlash, which is a free platform that promises to find the cheapest possible price on a car rental - even applying coupons and discount codes for you.
For a mid-size car the same week in Los Angeles, that was $340 on Turo, Midway is $372 for the week, Fox is $374. Budget is $605 and Thrity car rental is $641.
And Lopez said Turo has benefits beyond price.
"I think it's the convenience," he said.
No more shuttling to the car rental location or waiting in line.
"This is a key guard lockbox," said Lopez.
You can get a Turo vehicle delivered right to you and you can do contactless pick-up any time The customer just uploads a picture of their license and a selfie. As long as those match what Turo has on file, the car is theirs.
"I send them a code, they drop the box, put the code in open the door and they're outta here," said Lopez.
Lopez said it isn't just people on vacation who rent his car. It's also people whose car is in the shop or people who don't own vehicles, but need one just for a day to run errands.
One more thing: As far as insurance Turo does cover every trip for the customer and the host.
And just how much money you can make? Lopez makes an average of about $820 per month, per car he rents out.

- EUR/GBP fell to a 20-day low, dips below 0.8550.
- ECB summer rate cuts increasingly expected.
- Key UK data due this week, UK inflation and PMIs on the cards.
EUR/GBP dropped further on Monday, receding below 0.8550 as the Euro (EUR) sheds weight against the Pound Sterling (GBP) with the European Central Bank (ECB) stepping closer towards making a first rate cut in June or July. Talking points from ECB officials are giving mixed signals to markets, deflating the Euro as investors grapple with inconsistent messaging from central planners.
Rate doves from the ECB have stepped to the forefront recently, led by comments from ECB policymaker Martins Kazaks. Kazaks noted on Monday that June is a likely starting point for rate cuts. ECB Kazak’s comments muddy the waters on ECB messaging in recent weeks, which have run the gamut from advising further caution on rate moves, to some policymakers floating a possible start to rate cuts in July.
With the ECB increasingly likely to trim rates as soon as July, the rate differential between the ECB and the Bank of England (BoE) threatens to widen, softening the Euro against the Pound.
Key UK inflation data due this week will help traders gauge the BoE’s rate outlook. UK COnsumer Price Index (CPI) inflation is due on Wednesday, and is expected to ease to 2.1% YoY in April from the previous 3.2%. Later in the week, Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) results are expected from both the EU and the UK. UK Retail Sales will round out the trading week on Friday.
EUR/GBP technical outlook
EUR/GBP is accelerating a downside tumble below the 200-hour Exponential Moving Average (EMA) after dropping through the key technical indicator near 0.8590. The 200-hour EMA is turning bearish into 0.8577, and the pair is bidding further into bear country below 0.8550.
Despite a near-term downturn, EUR/GBP remains trapped in familiar consolidation. The pair is chewing on volatility-plagued chart paper as the EUR/GBP battles with repeated technical rejections from the 200-day EMA near the 0.8600 handle.

- The daily RSI and MACD signal a slowdown in positive momentum.
- On the hourly chart, indicators also show that the buyers are losing grip.
- Downward movements which keep the pair above the 100 and 200-day SMAs, should be viewed as healthy corrections.
In Monday's session, the NZD/USD stands at 0.6107, revealing a dip of 0.40%. However, the market continues under the dominant control of the bulls. Occasional losses in positive momentum do not indicate a sway of power to the bears and may validate healthy market corrections after a 1.45% weekly gain.
In the daily timeframe, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is mainly in the positive territory, with a recent reading at 62. This implies a moderate bullish momentum. Nevertheless, the tapering down of the index from its peak nearing overbought conditions may suggest a slowdown in the upward thrust. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) complements this, revealing decreasing green bars indicative of a shrinking positive momentum.
NZD/USD daily chart
Contrarily, an examination of the hourly chart reveals a negative territory dominance for the RSI. The recent value stands at 39, revealing the presence of more sellers in the last session. The MACD for the same period manifests flat red bars, subsequently confirming the negative momentum.
NZD/USD hourly chart
Deep diving into the broader landscape, the NZD/USD is appealing due to its position above the 20, 100, and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs). Such positioning confirms a positive bias for the pair, forecasting stable reliability for short-term and long-term investors.
The current scenario, where investors are taking profits while holding above the recently conquered 100 and 200-day SMAs, indicates that any downward movement should not be considered as a selling signal. Instead, it can be viewed as a healthy correction within the overall bullish context. Therefore, despite short-term volatility, the long-term prospects remain in favor of the bulls.

- USD/CHF up over 0.20%, closing above 0.9100 on Monday.
- Potential for further gains if pair surpasses 0.9150, targeting 0.9200 and YTD high of 0.9224.
- Key supports at 0.9100, 50-DMA (0.9049), and 0.8988 in case of bearish momentum.
On Monday, the USD/CHF registered more than 0.20% gains, with buyers regaining control and achieving a daily close above 0.9100. This was sponsored by high US yields, which underpinned the Greenback, though it posted modest gains. As the Tuesday Asian session begins, the major trades at 0.9104, virtually unchanged.
USD/CHF Price Analysis: Technical outlook
From a technical perspective, the pair has reversed its course after diving to a multi-week low of 0.8988, though buyers lifted the USD/CHF and achieved a daily close above 0.9060. That opened the door for a bullish continuation. But momentum has faded so far, as shown by the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which remains bullish but has a flat slope.
If bulls lift the USD/CHF above 0.9150, that will exacerbate a rally to 0.9200. Once surpassed, the next stop would be the year-to-date (YTD) high at 0.9224.
Conversely, if sellers moved in and dragged the USD/CHF exchange rate below 0.9100, that would pave the way to test the 50-day moving average (DMA) at 0.9049. Further losses lie at 0.9000 and 0.8988.

OpenAI is pulling an AI assistant voice for the latest version of ChatGPT that drew comparisons to the voice of actress Scarlett Johansson in the sci-fi romantic drama "Her," which centered on a man who falls in love with the female voice of his computer's operating system.
The company said in a post on X that the voice would be paused as it addresses "questions about how we chose the voices in ChatGPT." A company spokeswoman would not provide further detail.
In a blog post published just before midnight Pacific time Sunday, OpenAI said the AI voice in question, known as "Sky," was developed from the voice of another actress whose identity the company said it is not revealing to protect her privacy.
"We believe that AI voices should not deliberately mimic a celebrity's distinctive voice — Sky's voice is not an imitation of Scarlett Johansson but belongs to a different professional actress using her own natural speaking voice," the company wrote.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, whohas said the 2013 Spike Jonze film is his favorite movie, invited comparisons by postingthe word "Her" on X after the company announced the ChatGPT version.
The new model, known as GPT-4o, transforms the hit chatbot into a voice assistant that can interpret facial expressions, detect emotion and even sing on command.
The new voice assistant will be publicly available in the coming weeks. During a live-demo last week, it struck a knowing, flirtatious tone with some of OpenAI's employees, leading some to wonder whether the coquettish demeanor was an intentional ploy to keep people engaged with the AI system.
A publicist for Scarlett Johansson did not have immediate comment.
In an interview with NPR last week, OpenAI chief technology officer Mira Murati said the company did not pattern any ChatGPT voices on Johansson's sultry computer voice in the movie.
"It says more about our imagination, our storytelling as a society than about the technology itself," Murati said. "The way we developed this technology is not based on the movie or a sci-fi story. We're trying to build these machines that can think and have robust understandings of the world."
"I don't know about the voice. I actually had to go and listen to Scarlett Johansson's voice," she said.
Asked about ChatGPT's flirtatious banter, Murati said the model merely responds to what people provide to it.
"It will react to how you're interacting with it," she said. "It's not preset. It's based on inputs," Murati said.
In its Sunday night blog post, OpenAI said that chatbot was developed with five voices that were produced after working closely with voice and screen actors.
"Looking ahead, you can expect even more options as we plan to introduce additional voices in ChatGPT to better match the diverse interests and preferences of users," the company wrote in the post.
A day after OpenAI's announcement, Google held its annual developer conference where it unveiled its own personal AI assistant, also voiced by a female, known as Project Astra. While similar, Google's version appeared far less quippy and playful and more matter of fact.
Together, experts say, the products provide a glimpse into the next generation of cutting-edge AI technology — and also raise questions about the risks that follow as more and more people adopt the tools.
Visar Berisha, an Arizona State University professor who studies AI speech technology, said it is hard to predict how advanced AI voice assistants that speak with human-like personalities will change society.
"Communication by voice is really intimate, really impactful. It allows the AI to express subtleties, things that are perceived as sincere, urgent, joy, concern," he said. "And all of these serve to foster a deeper connection between the user and machine. You can see how these interactions can potentially become addictive."
It's possible, Berisha said, that people will start forming emotional connections to AI systems, much like the plot of "Her" — a movie that does not end happily for the protagonist.
"When I first saw that movie it seemed like science fiction," Berisha said. "It doesn't seem like that now."

Updated May 20, 2024 at 16:56 PM ET
NEW YORK — Michael Cohen, a former Trump loyalist, finished testifying in a Manhattan criminal trial on Monday, his fourth day of on the stand. Prosecutors have been aiming to rehabilitating Cohen as a trustworthy witness in the eyes of the jury.
The culmination of his testimony has the meant the end of the prosecutors' case, and it is now time for Trump's defense.
The duration of Trump's own defense is not known, though they have already begun calling witnesses. Their first witness on the stand is paralegal Danny Sitko from Blanche Law, a firm founded by Trump lawyer's in the case, Todd Blanche. Sitko testified to phone call records for one of Cohen's phones. The second witness is Robert Costello, an attorney for Trump ally and former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani.
Cohen testified last week that Costello reached out to him following a 2019 FBI raid on his home and office. But Cohen said he didn't trust him, noting that he didn't believe he could confide in him about the deal to silence adult film star Stormy Daniels about an alleged affair with Trump ahead of the 2016 election without it getting back to Giuliani or Trump.
Costello previously testified before the grand jury that first indicted Trump last year. Costello testified on Monday to speaking with Cohen after the FBI raid, and said that Cohen told him he made payments to Daniels "on his own." Cohen has testified those payments came at Trump's direction, a premise central to the prosecution's case.
But Costello's testimony didn't get far before tensions in the courtroom got high: He rolled his eyes at several sustained objections in favor of prosecutors and said "jeez" audibly in the mic. Merchan asked the jury to step out while he reminded Costello: "You don't say jeez. You don't give me any side eye."
After a brief conversation out of sight of the press, Costello's testimony continued. Blanche questioned whether or not he pressured Cohen to do anything. Costello said no.
When questioned by prosecutors, Costello testified that he believed "Cohen was putting on quite a show." Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger questioned Costello over whether or not he would have personally benefited from taking Cohen on as a client in 2019. Costello denied feeling that way. His testimony is expected to continue on Tuesday.
Trump could still testify in his defense, as he originally vowed to, though he didn't answer reporters' questions Monday morning over whether that was still his plan.
Prosecutors for the Manhattan district attorney allege Trump committed 34 felony counts of falsified business records — and Cohen is central to proving it.
A photo nearly pauses the trial
Prosecutors on Monday afternoon said they had a photo that showed Trump was with his bodyguard Keith Schiller one key night in October 2016. That photo was taken close to the time that Cohen said he spoke with Trump on Schiller's phone for just over a minute specifically about a deal to be made with adult film star Stormy Daniels. This phone call was alsoat the center of the defense's questioning of Cohen's memory and credibility. Last week Blanche brought into evidence text messages that showed Cohen and Schiller texting about a 14-year-old who Cohen said had been harassing him.
Trump's lawyers objected to the photo being introduced as evidence, arguing that a former witness who works for C-SPAN was questioned on the witness stand about the authenticity of other videos and audio, but not this one. Merchan supported their argument, which led prosecutors to scramble to reach C-SPAN for immediate travel plans. Merchan told the court that he would be willing to stop proceedings and resume questioning on Tuesday morning.
After a short deliberation, Trump's legal team opted to allow the photo into evidence and to proceed — without needing to call the witness back.
The C-SPAN witness in question was Robert Browning, executive director for archives for C-SPAN, who first briefly testified within the first week of the trial. He verified two 2016 Trump campaign clips and one 2017 press conference clip where Trump called Cohen a talent lawyer.
Michael Cohen continues his testimony into a second week
Monday's court session began with Trump lawyer Blanche picking up his cross-examination of Cohen from last week. He questioned whether Cohen would have had a legal retainer to perform legal work for Trump, his family and his organization. Trump argues that the payments to Cohen were simply him paying his own lawyer.
Cohen testified that he has not had retainers with Trump. Blanche questioned Cohen about his features in multiple media outlets, and a farewell email to the Trump Organization, announcing his incoming role as "personal attorney to the President of the United States." They also discussed legal work that Cohen did for Trump, including legal filings, and for then-first lady Melania Trump.
"Did you view this as part of your job?" Blanche asked.
"Yes, sir," Cohen said, agreeing it was his job to be President Trump's lawyer.
On Thursday, Blanche also walked through Cohen's history of perjury, including lying to Congress and federal investigators. On Tuesday last week, Blanche questioned Cohen's motivations against Trump and about his recent profiting off of merchandise promoting Trump being put in jail.
Last week Blanche questioned Cohen aboutpast testimonies related to that case before Congress in 2019, while under oath at the Southern District Court of New York and during Trump's civil fraud trial in the fall. In those examples, Blanche was highlighting shifting statements from Cohen.
"I accepted responsibility and I suffered the consequences," Cohen said last week, while also recalling that he testified in October that he falsely plead guilty to the tax evasion charges.
Prosecutors then questioned Cohen about his campaign finance violation
In 2018 Cohen pleaded guilty to various crimes, including violating federal campaign finance laws by issuing the payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. When given the chance to question Cohen for a second time once the cross-examination was over, prosecutor Hoffinger asked Cohen about that plea. This followed Blanche's questioning during which Cohen admitted to lying on the stand in that trial.
She asked Cohen if this instance of testifying under oath varied from in 2018, aimed at addressing why Cohen may have lied then and may not be now.
"The other one, my life was on the line. I was the defendant in that case," Cohen said.
And when asked about 11 invoices Cohen submitted in 2017, he said it was false that they were for legal services rendered as they had been submitted. He also testified that it was false that the payments were for any legal work done during the months they were issued.
Hoffinger also asked Cohen if the circumstances around the nondisclosure agreement with Daniels was, as Blanche phrased it last week, "perfectly legal" — Cohen said it wasn't. Blanche's questioning last week focused on how these agreements are legal.
Prosecutors have spent weeks setting up Cohen's corroboration of Trump's knowledge of the 34 allegedly falsified documents. But they also set him up as someone bullish, unlikeable and self-interested. At the same time, the defense and Trump himself have long attacked Cohen's credibility.
The jury has so far listened to four weeks of testimony, including from Daniels herself last week. Jurors have also heard from former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker, who first testified to the details of the deals made to flag potentially damaging stories to Cohen and Trump. And jurors heard from Keith Davidson, the lawyer who negotiated the nondisclosure agreements and settlement payments for Daniels and former Playboy playmate Karen McDougal. McDougal is not expected to be called to testify.
Trump keeps campaigning
Trump has pleaded not guilty, and he has denied allegations of extramarital affairs, though he has acknowledged the payments were made.
While the criminal trial nears an end, the presumptive GOP nominee also continues balancing court appearances with campaign events. On Thursday, following an expected day in court, Trump will be hosting a rally in the South Bronx.

Trump argues that the payments to Cohen were simply him paying his own lawyer.
Cohen testified that he has not had retainers with Trump. Blanche questioned Cohen about his features in multiple media outlets, and a farewell email to the Trump Organization, announcing his incoming role as "personal attorney to the President of the United States." They also discussed legal work that Cohen did for Trump, including legal filings, and for then-first lady Melania Trump.
"Did you view this as part of your job?" Blanche asked.
"Yes, sir," Cohen said, agreeing it was his job to be President Trump's lawyer.
On Thursday, Blanche also walked through Cohen's history of perjury, including lying to Congress and federal investigators. On Tuesday last week, Blanche questioned Cohen's motivations against Trump and about his recent profiting off of merchandise promoting Trump being put in jail.
Last week Blanche questioned Cohen aboutpast testimonies related to that case before Congress in 2019, while under oath at the Southern District Court of New York and during Trump's civil fraud trial in the fall. In those examples, Blanche was highlighting shifting statements from Cohen.
"I accepted responsibility and I suffered the consequences," Cohen said last week, while also recalling that he testified in October that he falsely plead guilty to the tax evasion charges.
Prosecutors then questioned Cohen about his campaign finance violation
In 2018 Cohen pleaded guilty to various crimes, including violating federal campaign finance laws by issuing the payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. When given the chance to question Cohen for a second time once the cross-examination was over, prosecutor Hoffinger asked Cohen about that plea. This followed Blanche's questioning during which Cohen admitted to lying on the stand in that trial.
She asked Cohen if this instance of testifying under oath varied from in 2018, aimed at addressing why Cohen may have lied then and may not be now.
"The other one, my life was on the line. I was the defendant in that case," Cohen said.
And when asked about 11 invoices Cohen submitted in 2017, he said it was false that they were for legal services rendered as they had been submitted. He also testified that it was false that the payments were for any legal work done during the months they were issued.
Hoffinger also asked Cohen if the circumstances around the nondisclosure agreement with Daniels was, as Blanche phrased it last week, "perfectly legal" — Cohen said it wasn't. Blanche's questioning last week focused on how these agreements are legal.
Prosecutors have spent weeks setting up Cohen's corroboration of Trump's knowledge of the 34 allegedly falsified documents. But they also set him up as someone bullish, unlikeable and self-interested. At the same time, the defense and Trump himself have long attacked Cohen's credibility.
The jury has so far listened to four weeks of testimony, including from Daniels herself last week. Jurors have also heard from former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker, who first testified to the details of the deals made to flag potentially damaging stories to Cohen and Trump. And jurors heard from Keith Davidson, the lawyer who negotiated the nondisclosure agreements and settlement payments for Daniels and former Playboy playmate Karen McDougal. McDougal is not expected to be called to testify.
Trump keeps campaigning
Trump has pleaded not guilty, and he has denied allegations of extramarital affairs, though he has acknowledged the payments were made.
While the criminal trial nears an end, the presumptive GOP nominee also continues balancing court appearances with campaign events. On Thursday, following an expected day in court, Trump will be hosting a rally in the South Bronx.

Abstract
This review was designed to (i) determine the extent to which the clinical science on sport-related concussion treatment and rehabilitation has considered social determinants of health (SDoH) or health equity and (ii) offer recommendations to enhance the incorporation of SDoH and health equity in concussion treatment research and clinical care. The Concussion in Sport Group consensus statement (2023) was informed by two systematic reviews examining prescribed rest or exercise following concussion and targeted interventions to facilitate concussion recovery. We examined 31 studies, including 2,698 participants, from those two reviews. Race (k=6; 19.4%) and ethnicity (k=4; 12.9%) were usually not reported. Four studies examined ethnicity (i.e., Hispanic), exclusively as a demographic category. Five studies (16.1%) examined race as a demographic category. Three studies (9.7%) examined socioeconomic status (SES; measured as household income) as a demographic category/sample descriptor and one study (3.2%) examined SES in depth, by testing whether the treatment and control groups differed by SES. Five studies examined a SDoH domain in a descriptive manner and four studies in an inferential/intentional manner. No study mentioned SDoH, health equity, or disparities by name. Many studies (61.3%) excluded participants based on demographic, sociocultural, or health factors, primarily due to language proficiency. The new consensus statement includes recommendations for concussion treatment and rehabilitation that rely on an evidence base that has not included SDoH or studies addressing health equity. Researchers are encouraged to design treatment and rehabilitation studies that focus specifically on under-represented groups to determine if they have specific and unique treatment and rehabilitation needs, whether certain practical modifications to treatment protocols might be necessary, and whether completion rates and treatment adherence and response are similar.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Soccer heading is adversely associated with neurocognitive performance, but whether greater neck strength or anthropometrics mitigates these outcomes is controversial. Here, we examine the effect of neck strength or anthropometrics on associations of soccer heading with neurocognitive outcomes in a large cohort of adult amateur players. METHODS: 380 adult amateur league soccer players underwent standardized measurement of neck strength (forward flexion, extension, left lateral flexion, right lateral flexion) and head/neck anthropometric measures (head circumference, neck length, neck circumference and neck volume). Participants were assessed for heading (HeadCount) and cognitive performance (Cogstate) on up to 7 visits over a period of two years. Principal components analysis (PCA) was performed on 8 neck strength and anthropometric measures. We used generalized estimating equations to test the moderation effect of each of the three PCs on 8 previously identified adverse associations of 2-week and 12-month heading estimates with cognitive performance (psychomotor speed, immediate verbal recall, verbal episodic memory, attention, working memory) and of unintentional head impacts on moderate to severe central nervous system symptoms. RESULTS: 3 principal components (PC's) account for 80% of the variance in the PCA. In men, PC1 represents head/neck anthropometric measures, PC2 represents neck strength measures, and PC3 represents the flexor/extensor (F/E) ratio. In women, PC1 represents neck strength, PC2 represents anthropometrics, and PC3 represents the F/E ratio. Of the 48 moderation effects tested, only one showed statistical significance after Bonferroni correction, which was not robust to extensive sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSION: Neither neck strength nor anthropometrics mitigate adverse associations of soccer heading with cognitive performance in adult amateur players.

Chip earmarked for most Galaxy S25 units to be built by Samsung in H2 2024
We should see Samsung's next flagship series, the Galaxy S25, released in late January or early February 2025. The world's largest smartphone manufacturer is expected to use the next iteration of its own Samsung-designed and Samsung-built Exynos chipset, the Exynos 2500, to power the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ in all markets outside of the U.S., China, and Canada; in those markets, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC will power those models. And the latter chipset will drive the Galaxy S25 Ultra in all markets.
The Exynos 2500, according to DigiTimes (via Wccftech), will be mass-produced during the second half of this year by Samsung Foundry using its second-generation 3nm node. As we've mentioned before, Samsung Foundry has the edge over TSMC at 3nm because it uses Gate-All-Around (GAA) transistors which use horizontal nanosheets placed vertically allowing the gate material to surround the channel on all four sides reducing current leakage and improving the drive current.
Using the GAA transistor architecture will improve chip performance by generating superior electrical signals that pass through and between the transistors. TSMC, which is building the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, won't start using GAA until it produces chips using its 2nm node next year. This could make the Exynos 2500 AP a stronger challenger to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 than many would believe.
The Exynos 2500 will be built by Samsung Foundry giving it an advantage over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4
The Exynos 2500 AP is expected to have 10 CPU cores consisting of one Cortex-X5 Ultimate Performance CPU core clocked up to 3.2GHz, three Cortex-A730 Performance-Efficient CPU cores running at a clock speed up to 2.5GHz, two Cortex-A730 Performance-Efficient CPU cores with a clock speed as fast as 2.5GHz, and four Cortex-A520 High-Efficiency CPU cores clocked up to 2.2GHz.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 AP will use Qualcomm's own Phoenix cores and is tipped to include two "Big" Phoenix CPU cores and six "Medium" CPU cores. Qualcomm is taking a slight risk by not including any low-powered "Small" CPU cores which are used to handle simple tasks without consuming that much battery power. There are rumors that devices using the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset will need to sport a 5500-6000mAh battery, Additionally, without any "Small" cores, there will be some concern about the chip's thermals.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC should be introduced during the annual Snapdragon Summit to be held in October.

Abstract
Recorded head kinematics from head-impact measurement devices (HIMd) are pivotal for evaluating brain stress and strain through head finite element models (hFEM). The variability in kinematic recording windows across HIMd presents challenges as they yield inconsistent hFEM responses. Despite establishing an ideal recording window for maximum principal strain (MPS) in brain tissue, uncertainties persist about the impact characteristics influencing vulnerability when this window is shortened. This study aimed to scrutinize factors within impact kinematics affecting the reliability of different recording windows on whole-brain peak MPS using a validated hFEM. Utilizing 53 on-field head impacts recorded via an instrumented mouthguard during a Canadian varsity football game, 10 recording windows were investigated with varying pre- and post-impact-trigger durations. Tukey pair-wise comparisons revealed no statistically significant differences in MPS responses for the different recording windows. However, specific impacts showed marked variability up to 40%. It was found, through correlation analyses, that impacts with lower peak linear acceleration exhibited greater response variability across different pre-trigger durations. Signal shape, analyzed through spectral analysis, influenced the time required for MPS development, resulting in specific impacts requiring a prolonged post-trigger duration. This study adds to the existing consensus on standardizing HIMd acquisition time windows and sheds light on impact characteristics leading to peak MPS variation across different head impact kinematic recording windows. Considering impact characteristics in research assessments is crucial, as certain impacts, affected by recording duration, may lead to significant errors in peak MPS responses during cumulative longitudinal exposure assessments.

Apple releases iOS 17.5.1 to fix database corruption issue that extracts deleted photos
Something unusual started happening after users downloaded 17.5 and iPadOS 17.5: deleted pictures started reappearing on their iPhones and iPads. Apple has now released a new software update to address the problem.
The scary bug was bringing back photos that users thought they had gotten rid of. In some cases, the deleted pictures were more than a decade old.
This was strange, considering after a photo is deleted, you only have 30 days to restore it before it's permanently deleted.
On top of that, some users said that deleted photos reappeared even though they didn't use iCloud, making some wonder if the photos were being restored from on-board storage. In a now-deleted Reddit post, one user even said that the update caused their photos to pop up on an iPad they had wiped and sold to a friend.
Apple has released iOS 17.5.1 and iPadOS 17.5.1 to fix the issue. In the release note for the update, Apple says that database corruption caused deleted photos to show up in the Photos library.

In a now-deleted Reddit post, one user even said that the update caused their photos to pop up on an iPad they had wiped and sold to a friend.
This update provides important bug fixes and addresses a rare issue where photos that experienced database corruption could reappear in the Photos library even if they were deleted.
Database corruption refers to problems that occur within a database system and can lead to unexpected behaviour. Since a file is never actually deleted and only made inaccessible, the bug presumably made Apple devices extract photos that were supposed to be gone forever.
To download the update, go to Settings, tap on General, navigate to Software Update, and then download the update.
While the bug was undoubtedly worrisome, it's commendable that Apple swiftly took care of it and released a new update within a week of releasing iOS 17.5. If you don't want old photos to come back to haunt you, you should download the update right away.

Abstract
Athletes interpret dynamic visual scenes quickly and accurately during physical exertion. It is important to understand how increased exertion may impact vision and cognition following sport-related concussion (SRC).PURPOSE To examine the effect of a treadmill running research protocol on the assessment of dynamic visual acuity (DVA) and balance for athletes with and without recent history of SRC.METHODS Varsity athletes following recent SRC (CONC=12) were compared to athletes without SRC (ATHLETE=19). The DVA task presented a Tumbling 'E' target in four possible orientations during random walk (RW) or horizontal (H) motion at a speed of 30°/s. Participants performed DVA trials standing on a force plate (1000Hz) at four time points: 1) pre-exercise (PRE-EX), 2) immediately (POST1), 3) 10-minutes (POST10), and 4) 20-minutes post- exercise (POST20). Performance was calculated as a change in DVA score from PRE-EX and median response time (RT, ms). Balance control was analyzed using the root mean square of centre of pressure displacement (dCOP).RESULTS Both groups maintained DVA scores for both motion types and exhibited immediate exercise-induced benefits on RT. Both groups had similar change in balance control strategy following treadmill exercise.CONCLUSION Both groups elicited similar exercise-induced benefits on DVA following exercise. A repeated measures assessment following vigorous exercise may provide meaningful insights about visual and neurocognitive functions for athletes returning to sport following concussion.

Pricier Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 may force Android manufacturers to make decisions you won't like
Some current-generation flagship phones are more expensive than their predecessors and one rumor suggests that Android users may want to brace for another price hike.
According to the well-known Chinese leaker digital chat station, the SM8750 - which is believed to be the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 - will be significantly costlier than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. This could force Android manufacturers to make some tough decisions.
Chipsets are amongst the costliest components of a smartphone. The Galaxy S23 Ultra's bill of materials (BOM), which is a document that lists all the components required to make a product, showed that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 accounted for 35 percent of the BOM cost.
Per one report, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is around 20 percent costlier than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, so we'd wager it drove up the BOM cost higher, though we have no way to confirm that.
And with the price of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 rumored to go up, it will cost Android manufacturers even more to produce flagship phones and since many might not be willing to eat the cost, it may make the next crop of Android phones costlier.
An expensive phone could negatively impact the demand for a phone, which is why digital chat station seems to think that some manufacturers might opt for another chip instead.
Previously, it was reported that Xiaomi would be the first manufacturer to bring a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4-powered phone to the market, but considering the Chinese company is known for competitively priced phones, we wonder if it might be reconsidering its decision.
Others, like Samsung, will likely stick with the chip, which will employ custom cores and is rumored to deliver a huge performance leap.
That said, even Samsung is not expected to equip all its Galaxy S24 variants with Qualcomm's upcoming chip, which may lose out to the South Korean giant's Exynos 2500 chipset in power efficiency.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To calculate the prevalence rates of mental health symptoms among female professional football players over a 12-month period and to explore the associations of severe injury and related surgery with mental health symptoms among female professional footballers. METHODS: An observational prospective cohort study was conducted over a 12-month follow-up period by distributing an electronic questionnaire three times. The questionnaire was based on validated screening tools for assessing mental health symptoms. RESULTS: A total of 74 female professional football players participated in this study. Mental health symptoms ranged from 1% for substance misuse to 65% for sport-psychological distress at baseline, from 6% for anxiety to 53% for sport-psychological distress 6 months postbaseline and from 3% for substance misuse to 55% for sport-psychological distress 12 months postbaseline. The prevalence of disordered eating remained between 15% and 20% over the 12-month period. Only one of the associations was statistically significant. Female professional football players were nearly twice as likely to report sport-related psychological distress following every surgery. CONCLUSIONS: The substantial prevalence of mental health symptoms among female professional football players emphasises the need for increased attention, awareness and interventions. Additionally, female professional football players are nearly twice as likely to report sport-related psychological distress after each surgery. Sports medicine physicians and mental health professionals working in female football should provide standard care, which involves identifying, monitoring and implementing tailored interventions for mental health symptoms.

Android 15 Beta 2.1 update rolls out addressing "Private Space" home screen app icons issue
Google has just announced the rollout of Android 15 Beta 2.1 update (AP31.240426.023) for eligible Pixel devices. This minor, but significant, update addresses an issue where creating a private space on a device for the first time could lead to the removal of app icons from the home screen. This fix should be welcome news for users who have been experimenting with the private space feature for enhanced privacy and security.
This information comes directly from a Reddit post on the Android Beta subreddit, which details a few helpful tips for users navigating the private space feature. For instance, if the private space is hidden and the user cannot recall how to access it, simply typing "Private Space" in the search bar will bring up the option to set it up or open it. In the event that the unlock factor for the private space is forgotten, users can delete the private space from the settings menu using their device unlock factor. Finally, the post also notes how users can install a private space version of an app that exists outside the private space. Further details are available in the release notes, as well as a list of top open issues reported by developers and users.
The Android 15 Beta 2.1 update will be automatically pushed to devices already enrolled in the Android Beta Program, including Pixel 8a, Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 7a, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7, Pixel 6a, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6, Pixel Fold, and Pixel Tablet. Additionally, devices running Android 14 QPR3 or earlier versions of the Android 15 beta will also receive the update. The Pixel 5a is not eligible for the Android 15 Beta, but those enrolled in the Android 14 QPR3 Beta will receive the final stable public release in June.
If you are not already enrolled in the beta program but would like to participate, you can visit g.co/androidbeta to do so. It may take up to 24 hours to receive the over-the-air (OTA) update, and users can check for updates manually in their device settings. It's worth noting that devices already enrolled in the Android 15 Beta should automatically receive the update within five days.

Abstract
PURPOSE: The Rotterdam Scoring System (RSS) attempts to prognosticate early mortality and early functional outcome in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) based on non-contrast head computed tomography (CT) imaging findings. The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between RSS scores and long-term outcomes in patients with severe TBI. METHODS: Consecutively treated patients with severe TBI enrolled between 2008 and 2011, in the prospective, observational, Brain Trauma Research Center database were included. The Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) was used to measure long-term functional outcomes at three, six, 12, and 24 months. GOS scores were categorized into favorable (GOS = 4-5) and unfavorable (GOS = 1-3) outcomes. RSS scores were calculated at the time of image acquisition. RESULTS: Of the 89 patients included, 74 (83.4%) were male, 81 (91.0%) were Caucasian, and the mean age of the cohort was 41.9 ± 18.5 years old. Patients with an RSS score of 3 and lower were more likely to have a favorable outcome with increased survival rates than patients with RSS scores greater than 3. CONCLUSIONS: The RSS score determined on the head CT scan acquired at admission in a cohort of patients with severe TBI correlated with long-term survival and functional outcomes up to two years following injury.

This top-notch iPad Air 13 (2024) variant with Apple M2 power is discounted by $65, but not for long
We may earn a commission if you make a purchase from the links on this page.
Who's ready for yet another cool deal on one of Apple's amazing new iPads? You may find this hard to believe, but even though the M2-powered 11 and 13-inch iPad Airs and that insanely speedy iPad Pro (2024) duo with Apple M4 inside went official (and up for pre-order) less than two weeks ago, we've already reported on a bunch of different discounts offered by major retailers like Amazon and Best Buy.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the latest promotion beats all previous price cuts, trimming a cool 65 bucks off the $1,299 you'd "normally" have to pay for an iPad Air 13 (2024) with 1TB storage. That's obviously not what we'd typically consider a substantial discount, especially for such a crazy expensive device, but for an Apple-made gadget that's barely a few days old, it's certainly... notable (to say the least).
Because it packs a significantly less impressive processor than a new iPad Pro, the first-ever 13-inch iPad Air is naturally not the best tablet money can buy right now. But its Apple M2 chipset is still faster than what all the greatest Android tablets have to offer in the same department, so if you have a digital hoarding addiction and can't afford a 1TB iPad Pro (2024), you should definitely consider pulling the trigger here.
Keep in mind that other iPad Air (2024) variants (with 11 and 13-inch screens) are only marked down by $50 tops at the time of this writing. Furthermore, Amazon's hot new $65 discount is exclusively available on a space gray flavor of the 1TB configuration, which even more strongly suggests that you don't have a lot of time to act before the e-commerce giant inevitably pulls the plug on the freshly enhanced deal.
In addition to a lot of raw power and a lot of screen real estate, the new iPad Air 13 also has an incredibly thin 6.1mm profile going for it, as well as "all-day" battery life, an always popular Touch ID fingerprint sensor, two more than respectable 12MP cameras, and some excellent landscape stereo speakers. Can you do better than all that at a similar price... with 1TB internal storage space? Almost certainly not, so be sure to push the "buy" button above while you can.

Abstract
TraumaTic brain injury (TBI) is a potentially life-altering or life-ending condition that affects individuals of all ages and walks of life. There is emerging evidence in the adult TBI literature to suggest that biomarkers have the potential to both refine management and predict outcomes. By contrast, pediatric TBI research lags notably behind, largely due to ethical and logistical difficulties in conducting high-quality clinical research in this cohort. Furthermore, children are a developmentally dynamic population, which adds additional complexities to both bench and clinical research. This review summarizes the recent updates in the field of pediatric TBI research and highlights both the promises and challenges of the use of TBI biomarkers in children. TBI is a major health problem, contributing to an estimated 70 million deaths worldwide each year.1 As alarming as this statistic is, it does not reflect the full extent of this disease, as it does not consider the chronicity of TBI complications nor the wide-ranging burden that TBI survivors exert on public health services. In a recent Lancet Neurology Commission publication, it was noted that not only did TBI have the highest global incidence among the most common neurological conditions, but it also had the highest prevalence, a reflection of the long-term disease burden imparted to survivors. 2 TBI is a condition that affects individuals of all ages, with the extremes of age being particularly vulnerable. The highest frequency of hospital admissions occurs among the elderly (age > 65 years), followed by the pediatric age group (< 21 years). 2 Pediatric TBI results in approximately 500,000 visits to the emergency department in the United States annually.1,2 Although children have an overall lower mortality than adults (approximately 5% of all TBI-related deaths), the true significance of pediatric TBI is better appreciated when measured in terms of years of lost life and years lived with disability, both of which are significantly higher in children compared to adults...

Touch too much: OpenAI halts ChatGPT voice Sky because of… Scarlett Johansson
OpenAI announces that they're putting the Sky voice option for ChatGPT on pause while they address the issues.
If you're not the type of person to chat with ChatGPT, but you still want to communicate with the AI model, you've surely tried the voice options:
And, if you've watched Spike Jonze's Her (2013) you'll be amazed how much Sky sounds like Samantha, the sentient AI that was voiced by none other than Scarlett Johansson.
In fact, while listening to Sky, one could get the urge to grow a mustache a la Joaquin Phoenix's Her character, Theodore.
Here, listen to that:
Back to ChatGPT, though:
The company asserts that Sky was not intended as an imitation. This decision follows the launch of voice capabilities for ChatGPT in September 2023. OpenAI emphasizes that the selection process for these voices involved five months of meticulous collaboration with voice actors, casting directors, and industry advisors.
Since the unveiling of GPT-4o, Sky's voice has increasingly evoked comparisons to Scarlett Johansson's voice, given its expressive qualities. However, OpenAI maintains that Sky's voice belongs to a different actress, whose identity they choose to keep confidential for privacy reasons.
OpenAI collaborated with esteemed casting professionals to establish criteria for selecting the voices, prioritizing diversity, timelessness, approachability, warmth, and charisma. Over 400 voice and screen actors auditioned in May 2023, with recordings ranging from answering mindfulness questions to discussing travel plans.
Following a thorough review process, OpenAI engaged in discussions with top contenders to align their vision for human-AI interactions. Actors were briefed on the technology's implications and safeguards.
This is what OpenAI says about the voice castings:
Some of these characteristics included:
If you're not the type of person to chat with ChatGPT, but you still want to communicate with the AI model, you've surely tried the voice options:
- Breeze
- Cove
- Ember
- Juniper
- Sky (now paused)
And, if you've watched Spike Jonze's Her (2013) you'll be amazed how much Sky sounds like Samantha, the sentient AI that was voiced by none other than Scarlett Johansson.
Here, listen to that:
We’ve heard questions about how we chose the voices in ChatGPT, especially Sky. We are working to pause the use of Sky while we address them.
— OpenAI (@OpenAI) May 20, 2024

How were the voices selected?
This is what OpenAI says about the voice castings:
In early 2023, to identify our voice actors, we had the privilege of partnering with independent, well-known, award-winning casting directors and producers. We worked with them to create a set of criteria for ChatGPT's voices, carefully considering the unique personality of each voice and their appeal to global audiences.
Some of these characteristics included:
- Actors from diverse backgrounds or who could speak multiple languages
- A voice that feels timeless
- An approachable voice that inspires trust
- A warm, engaging, confidence-inspiring, charismatic voice with rich tone
- Natural and easy to listen to

The disappointing state of Galaxy Z Flip 6 rumors: Should we brace for a letdown?
This article may contain personal views and opinion from the author.
Summer is just around the corner, and one of the landmark releases during the hottest months will be Samsung's next crop of foldable devices, consisting of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Rumors are already piling up about both devices, which is par for the course with most high-profile Samsung phones.
However, it's only the Galaxy Z Fold 6 that is garnering a healthy amount of interesting rumors for potential upgrades, whereas things are abnormally quiet on the Galaxy Z Flip 6.
Foldables have been on the market for half a decade now. While still intriguing, foldables are no longer captivating. At first, foldable technology was considered innovative and noteworthy, but it's 2024 already, and extra features are required to stand out.
So far, all Galaxy Z Flip phones have come along with Snapdragon chipsets, so employing Samsung's in-house line of infamous chips would only hurt the case for getting a Galaxy Z Flip 6 this year. Although the Exynos 2400 rumored to be considered for the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is seemingly just as powerful as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, there's always that negative connotation associated with the Exynos name.
Last year's Galaxy Z Flip 5 was admittedly a great upgrade, but judging from all the rumors so far, Samsung may struggle to improve on that one with the Galaxy Z Flip 6. The latter seems like it will be another mostly iterative and stagnant episode in Samsung's foldable phone releases, remarkable only for being a direct successor to the Galaxy Z Flip 5.
If most rumors hit the mark (and preliminary rumors for Samsung phones usually do), then foldable phone enjoyers might have to brace for a disappointment.
Being foldable is no longer sufficient merit
Foldables have been on the market for half a decade now. While still intriguing, foldables are no longer captivating. At first, foldable technology was considered innovative and noteworthy, but it's 2024 already, and extra features are required to stand out.
The market's expectations have also evolved to higher standards. That's why a foldable phone like the Galaxy Z Flip 6 needs way more in terms of novel features to hold its ground against its foldable and standard competitors.
Based on the rumors we hear, Samsung won't be reinventing the wheel with its next compact foldable. On the contrary, the largest Android manufacturer has chosen to rest on its laurels as the first mass producer of foldable phones. Bold experiments and innovation are seemingly out of the window, as the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is shaping up to be yet another garden-variety Samsung release.
Based on the rumors we hear, Samsung won't be reinventing the wheel with its next compact foldable. On the contrary, the largest Android manufacturer has chosen to rest on its laurels as the first mass producer of foldable phones. Bold experiments and innovation are seemingly out of the window, as the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is shaping up to be yet another garden-variety Samsung release.
Galaxy Z Flip 6 vs Galaxy Z Flip 5: What will the differences be?
So far, the only semi exciting rumors circulating around the Galaxy Z Flip 6 include a slightly larger external display, which will by no means reinvigorate the overall user experience. At the same time, the number of rumors confirming the Galaxy Z Flip 6 won't differ that much from the Galaxy Z Flip 5 are a dime a dozen.
Let's break down the rumors so far and see what's what.
- Although Samsung vastly improved the hinge mechanism with the Galaxy Z Flip 5, the unsightly display crease was still there. So far, rumors don't indicate a massive step has been taken into eliminating that one, so it's safe to assume the Z Flip 6 will also have a display crease. Most of Samsung's competitors on the scene have mostly resolved this issue, and some didn't even have display creases to begin with (OnePlus Open, Oppo Find N2 Flip, and Oppo Find N2 serve as perfect examples.
- Credit where credit is due: the Galaxy Z Flip 6 could score a 0.1-inch bigger inner screen, as well as a 0.5-inch cover screen. Thus, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 will come with a 6.7-inch internal and 3.9-inch external display. However, despite the screen size bump, display resolution, maximum brightness, and refresh rate will remain the same, which might not play well with the ever-evolving competition. Foldable phones like the Moto Razr these days pack 120Hz external screens.
What's more, merely increasing the cover screen's size won't resolve its core problem: the functionality. Currently, you can only run a very limited selection of apps on the cover screen. While it's true that it's mostly there to show you your notifications or change the Spotify playlist, but what we actually need on the Galaxy Z Flip lineup is enhanced functionality and support for way more apps.
- The Galaxy Z Flip 6 will come with the yearly chipset upgrade; the phone will most certainly get the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, an upgrade over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 inside the Galaxy Z Flip 5. However, rumors indicate that the phone could arrive with just 8GB of RAM, which is mid-range territory as far as Android powerhouses are considered.
So far, all Galaxy Z Flip phones have come along with Snapdragon chipsets, so employing Samsung's in-house line of infamous chips would only hurt the case for getting a Galaxy Z Flip 6 this year. Although the Exynos 2400 rumored to be considered for the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is seemingly just as powerful as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, there's always that negative connotation associated with the Exynos name.
- Charging speeds will also stay the same for another year in a row. This means 25W of wired and 10W of wireless charging, which is the bare minimum when it comes to fast-charging. Foldables originating from China are already pushing the charging capabilities of their phones to the other end of the spectrum, so Samsung might once again be the outlier. Battery life, however, could be ever-so-slightly better thanks to a suggested battery capacity bump to 4,000mAh.
- Rumors also call for a new 50MP camera, and I have to agree, this one sounds like a great thing to have, considering that most previous Galaxy Z Flip arrived with a 12MP camera. Samsung's foldables have rarely bet heavy on camera performance, so if true, that upgrade would be a decent one. Still, here's to hoping the phone inherits the Galaxy S24 series' image-processing and natural photography style.
Brace for letdown?
So, to sum up, don't expect the Galaxy Z Flip 6 to bring significant innovations or bold new features. While it might succeed in bringing fresh new adopters to the foldable market, it will likely fail to persuade existing foldable phone enjoyers to switch and upgrade.
Given the mounting competition in the foldable phone market from Motorola and OnePlus in the US, as well as the majority of China-based phone manufacturers, Samsung might fail to bolster its positions. This is crucial given that Apple will eventually come up with a foldable iPhone.

More CMF phone leaks reveal its possible specs
CMF, the budget sub-brand that is the brain child of Carl Pei and Nothing, has been rumored for some time to be venturing into the smartphone arena with the release of the CMF by Nothing Phone (1). This development marks a new direction for CMF, which has primarily focused on wireless earbuds and a smartwatch until now. Adding to the speculation, a recent report from Notebook Check suggests that this budget-friendly phone is aiming to carve a niche in the smartphone market.
According to information shared by frequent Android leaker, MlgmXyysd, the CMF Phone (1) shares similarities with its sibling, the Nothing Phone 2a. However, it distinguishes itself with a slightly smaller 6.67-inch OLED screen, compared to the 2a's 6.7-inch AMOLED display. Both phones are powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 chipset and are equipped with a 5,000 mAh battery, a capacity that has become the norm for new phones across budget and mid-range categories.
In terms of storage, the CMF Phone (1) offers options of 8GB of RAM with either 128GB or 256GB of storage, expandable via a microSD card slot. This is comparable to the 2a, which also offers a 12GB RAM variant. The camera setup on the CMF Phone (1) boasts a 50MP main camera, but a slightly less powerful 16MP front camera.
Interestingly, the CMF Phone (1) seems to diverge from the signature design elements of Nothing phones. It will reportedly not feature the iconic LED light Glyph interface that has become synonymous with the brand. However, the phone is said to have a replaceable plastic back, suggesting potential for customization through various back options offered by CMF.
Perhaps the most noteworthy aspect of the CMF Phone (1) is its rumored price. If leaks hold true, the phone is expected to launch in July 2024 with a price tag of $249 for the 128GB model and $279 for the 256GB variant. This positions it significantly lower than the current price of the Nothing Phone 2a, which retails for $349 with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage.
Whether this pricing strategy will resonate with consumers remains to be seen. While the CMF Phone (1) might not boast the same premium features as its more expensive counterparts, its affordability could prove to be a compelling factor for budget-conscious buyers. As the smartphone landscape continues to evolve, the entry of CMF into the market adds another layer of interest and choice for those seeking quality devices at accessible price points.

OnePlus 12's Android 15 Beta has a "Repair Mode" but it has its hiccups
Android 15 is on the horizon, promising a host of new features and improvements for mobile devices. While we eagerly anticipate the stable release, some phone manufacturers are offering a sneak peek through beta versions. OnePlus, in particular, has released a Beta 1 build for its OnePlus 12 model, showcasing potential features for its future Oxygen OS build.
One such feature, as reported by Android Authority, is the always helpful "Repair Mode." Similar to options found in Google's Pixel phones and Samsung's One UI, Repair Mode is meant to protect user data during device repairs. When activated, Repair Mode hides personal information, enabling technicians to assess and fix the phone without having to do a full data wipe. This convenient feature takes care of the privacy concerns often associated with sending phones in for repair.
While the concept is promising, the implementation on OnePlus 12's Beta 1 build seems to have some wrinkles to iron out. Unlike the Pixel and Samsung versions that land users directly on the home screen after repair mode activation, OnePlus 12's Repair Mode initiates the standard phone setup process. This requires users to select language, region, and add Google accounts, a potentially frustrating experience for those already familiar with their device.
The technical details behind OnePlus's Repair Mode implementation remain unclear. It's uncertain whether they relied on Android's Dynamic System Updates, a new user profile, or a unique solution. However, as this is a beta version, such hiccups are not unexpected. The final Oxygen OS 15 update, based on Android 15, may address this issue, potentially streamlining the Repair Mode experience.
That said, OnePlus 12's implementation of a Repair Mode shows that the company is keeping its users' privacy and convenience in mind. While the current setup process in the beta version might be a minor inconvenience, the potential benefits of this feature are irrefutable. It will be interesting to see how OnePlus refines Repair Mode in future updates, potentially setting a new standard for data protection during device repairs.

Amazon is selling the dominant Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 at a super-rare $450 discount
We may earn a commission if you make a purchase from the links on this page.
We don't know exactly what's gotten into Amazon today, but just when Samsung kicked off an exciting new Discover sales event, the e-commerce giant started selling probably the best foldable phones in the world at some of their lowest ever prices.
Just like the Galaxy Z Flip 5, the monstrous (in a good way) Galaxy Z Fold 5 is deeply discounted right now with no strings attached, costing a whopping 450 bucks less than usual in both 256 and 512GB storage variants and three nice color options (for each of those two models).
As far as we can tell, Amazon has never offered precisely this Z Fold 5 discount before, taking $400 off the ultra-high-end foldable phone's list prices a couple of times since its commercial debut and letting bargain hunters save as much as $500 on and around Black Friday 2023 six months ago.
Because that special holiday deal is unlikely to come back very soon and the likes of Best Buy and Samsung's own official US e-store have nothing on Amazon's generosity at the time of this writing, we strongly recommend you pull the trigger right here and right now on your favorite Galaxy Z Fold 5 variant.
By no means a revolutionary upgrade of its predecessor, this decidedly flexible and versatile Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 powerhouse is certainly a remarkable evolutionary device, as highlighted in our comprehensive review last summer. While the Z Fold 5 failed to impress us with its average (at best) battery life and still-visible crease, the overall performance, gorgeous primary screen, improved hinge, and sound quality absolutely knocked our socks off, making this one of the best phones in the world.
And yes, you obviously still have to pay more for an unlocked Galaxy Z Fold 5 (without an S Pen) than a Galaxy S24 Ultra (with a built-in S Pen), for instance, but the bang for buck is nothing short of outstanding when you consider that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is unlikely to bring many radical upgrades to the table while most likely starting at the same extravagant $1,800 as its forerunner.

Strava unveils a series of new features, including dark mode and AI, at annual Camp Strava event
Strava, the popular social fitness tracking platform, recently held its annual Camp Strava event where it unveiled a host of new features set to be rolled out later this year. With Michael Martin at the helm as the new CEO, Strava seems to be focusing on enhancing user experience, safety, and data integrity. This information was initially revealed by Strava and disseminated on various tech news platforms.
One of the most anticipated additions is a 'Dark Mode' for the mobile app, a feature that has become standard across many applications. Strava users, both free and paid, will soon be able to choose between always-on dark mode or have it match their phone's settings. This is expected to be available by the end of summer.
In a move to cater to families and friend groups, Strava also announced an upcoming family plan. Although the pricing details are yet to be revealed, the plan will allow up to four individuals to share a single paid membership. More information can be found on Strava's website, though the exact cost remains under wraps.
Safety and route discovery are also getting a boost with the introduction of night heat maps. These maps will filter activities recorded between sunset and sunrise, helping users discover well-trafficked routes for safer nighttime workouts. Additionally, a new quick edit feature will simplify the process of making common changes to recorded activities, such as changing activity names, start times, and location sharing settings.
Strava is also venturing into the realm of artificial intelligence (AI) with its new 'Athlete Intelligence' feature. Leveraging large language models, this feature will analyze user data to provide insights into training, performance metrics, and suggestions for improvement. It will even take into account upcoming events and current injuries, making it a personalized virtual coach.
AI will also play a role in maintaining the integrity of Strava's leaderboards. The platform plans to introduce AI-enabled leaderboard integrity to better detect and flag irregular, improbable, or impossible activities. For instance, an e-bike ride mistakenly labeled as a regular bike ride could be identified and corrected. While these features are yet to be implemented, they represent an exciting addition for Strava and its users.

Strava is also venturing into the realm of artificial intelligence (AI) with its new 'Athlete Intelligence' feature. Leveraging large language models, this feature will analyze user data to provide insights into training, performance metrics, and suggestions for improvement. It will even take into account upcoming events and current injuries, making it a personalized virtual coach.
AI will also play a role in maintaining the integrity of Strava's leaderboards. The platform plans to introduce AI-enabled leaderboard integrity to better detect and flag irregular, improbable, or impossible activities. For instance, an e-bike ride mistakenly labeled as a regular bike ride could be identified and corrected. While these features are yet to be implemented, they represent an exciting addition for Strava and its users.

New Surface Pro pre-orders begin; OLED display option, AI, ARM processor, wireless keyboard
The 11 and 13-inch iPad Pro (2024) models aren't the only tablets to debut an OLED screen this month. Today, Microsoft introduced its new Surface Pro and while the manufacturer has seemingly dropped the use of numbers after the Surface Pro name, it has added an OLED display option for those willing to shell out more money for a higher quality display that eliminates the need for a backlight and delivers deeper blacks and better contrast. OLED also consumes less power than LCD.
A dedicated CoPilot key on the wireless Flex Keyboard can quickly get you working with AI and the Neural Processing Unit (NPU) that drives the AI capabilities of the device runs up to 45 trillion operations per second. Powered by either the Snapdragon X Elite or Snapdragon X Plus processors, the Surface Pro will be ARM-powered and will run as much as 90% faster. Microsoft also says that the new device will feature an all-day battery life with up to 14 hours of video playback and up to 10 hours of active web usage.
The Surface Pro will come with either 16GB or 32GB LPDDR5x RAM. A removable solid-state drive provides storage options of 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB. The Surface Pro carries a Gorilla Glass 5-protected 13-inch PixelSense Flow display with a 3:2 aspect ratio and a resolution of 2880 x 1920 (267 PPI). The device supports Wi-Fi 7 and works with the second edition Surface Slim Pen. Windows 11 is pre-installed and yes, the kickstand is still designed into the product. Color options are Sapphire, Dune, Black, and Platinum.
A 1440p front-facing camera comes with the new Surface Pro and there is a 10.5MP Ultra-HD rear camera. There is also a Windows Hello face authentication camera and later this year a variant of the device will be available with 5G connectivity.
The Wi-Fi version of the Surface Pro is available for pre-orders now starting at $999.99 for the model with an LCD display, the Snapdragon X Plus with 16GB RAM, and an SSD with 256GB of storage. The model with an OLED display powered by the Snapdragon X Elite starts at $1,499.99 for the unit carrying 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD.

CANNES, France, May 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The iconic red bitter brand hosted The Campari Cinémathèque at Hyde Beach by Campari, on Boulevard de Croisette. This red-carpet party celebrated Campari's third consecutive year as Official Partner to the Festival de Cannes, and marked the launch of its global campaign, We Are Cinema.
The event was inspired by the brand's new campaign, which turns the lens on the real-life moments that become remarkable stories. On this unforgettable evening, Campari took on the role as curator, Hyde Beach became the set, with guests and famous faces taking centre stage and becoming the protagonists of their own story.
Hosted at Hyde Beach by Campari - located on the famous stretch of beach, and in the heart of the iconic film festival – a show-stopping event space was custom-built for the 77th Festival and designed in Campari's signature style.
The star-studded guestlist celebrating with Campari included Adrien Brody, Victoria Justice, Marina Barbosa, Paz Vega, Cole Walliser, Ellen von Unwerth, Caro Daur, Rafa Kalimann, Jessica Wang, Nataly Osmann, Lady Victoria Harvey, Pierfrancesco Favino, Claudia Gerini, Saul Nanni, Malika Ayane and many more. Also on hand was Cole Walliser, who captured guests on his famous GLAMbot, and renowned photographer German Larkin.
The Campari Cinémathèque event was structured as a series of takes – special shots, photo opportunities and activities – designed to immerse guests in a true-to-life movie experience.
The journey from take-to-take took guests through the entire space, from the ground-floor Campari Bar with its mirrored ceiling and movie-set lights to the Pier – an overwater jetty with loungers and parasols.
Take 1 recreated a red-carpet walk at a movie premiere. A light installation mimicked the flash photography of a crowd of paparazzi, and surround-sound audio replicated the cacophony of camera clicks and calls to pose. Guests were filmed by a real cameraman, with images live-streamed onto plasma screens throughout the space.
Take 2 revealed a photocall in the Campari Bar – for an iconic Negroni or Campari Spritz.
Take 3 placed guests in a real-life set, replicating the experience of starring in a Campari campaign.
Take 4 immersed guests in the unique sensory world of the Campari Room. Here, the human bartender blended with Artificial Intelligence, as guests were served a freshly made Negroni whilst they created their own remarkable Campari & Cinema story.
For Take 5, guests stepped into the role of director, checking out livestreamed Cannes action on a dazzling bank of plasma screens on the Director's Wall.
Take 6 became the Campari Cinema. Guests took to the stage on a 360-degree terrace, where they were precision-filmed by a robotic Bolt camera against the stunning backdrops of the Croisette and Mediterranean Sea.
In Take 7, bartenders from four of the world's best bars created signature Campari cocktails in mixology moments that were sure to be pure theatre. Guest bars were Camparino in Galleria from Milan, Bar Nouveau in Paris, Salmon Guru from Madrid, and Donovan from London. The Camparino team served a selection of iconic Campari cocktails to guests, including the Negroni, Campari Spritz and the Negroni Sbagliato. Alongside these classic cocktails, the Camparino team served the Red Carpet – Cannes Edition: a fresh tasting and salty cocktail inspired by the Cannes Riviera.
The final take, the moment that started the party. The lights dropped, the cameras started to roll, and the music began… making it a night to remember.
Campari Group's Head of Global Marketing, Julka Villa comments: "Unveiling our passion for brilliant film storytellers at the iconic Festival de Cannes is a privilege. The uniting message behind We Are Cinema is one that is shared across the cinema industry and Festival de Cannes – to celebrate creativity, innovation, and passion in film. It has been incredible to see it come to life, giving guests the opportunity to become the protagonist of their own story, over a perfectly crafted Campari cocktail."

SINGAPORE, May 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On May 17, 2024, the Global Data Center Facility Summit 2024 was held in Singapore with the theme of "Power the Digital Era Forward." At the summit, over 600 data center industry leaders, technical experts, and ecosystem partners gathered to discuss new trends and opportunities of the global data center industry in the intelligent computing era. The attendees also got to experience all-scenario, all-ecosystem, and all-service end-to-end (E2E) solutions, share innovative practices of green data centers in the Asia Pacific and Europe, and experience the exhibition vehicle to unveil the mystery of Outdoor PowerPOD that features one power system per container. By fully embracing the intelligent computing era, Huawei strives to power the digital era forward.
Seizing Opportunities Brought by AI and Jointly Building Green & Reliable Computing Infrastructure
At the opening speech, Charles Yang, Senior Vice President of Huawei and President of Marketing, Sales and Services, Huawei Digital Power, noted that since ChatGPT ushered in the AI era, large models keep pushing the limits of computing power and the intelligent computing industry is witnessing an unprecedented construction boom. As predicted, 100 GW will be added to the global data center installed capacity and the market value will exceed US$600 billion in the next five years.
According to Charles, with opportunities come challenges. The primary challenge concerning the data center industry is reliability and electricity. Data centers are scaling up from the MW-level to the GW-level. E2E reliability of data centers is becoming even more important than ever. In response to the opportunities, Huawei will work with customers and partners to expand the industry space.
Steering Data Centers to the AI Era with Product + Service + Ecosystem
During the summit, Sun Xiaofeng, President of Huawei Data Center Facility & Critical Power Business, delivered a speech titled "Power the Digital Era Forward. " He stated that as AI large models are penetrating, the surging compute demands drive the expansive growth in data center.
To address the challenges, Huawei strives to build product + service + ecosystem E2E data center solutions that feature fast deployment, flexible cooling, green energy, and ultimate reliability.
- Fast deployment: Data centers are fully modularized and prefabricated to ensure high quality and efficient construction.
