I'll stretch it out until the statute of limitations runs out The 10-year statute of limitations expired on Sept 19 last year some allege she transferred her assets to others prior to her sentencing None of the financial compensation paid by the defendant has alleviated Ms Saranya's burdens as Nong Cartoon's treatment costs reached 100,000 baht a month at one point In an effort to support her daughter's ongoing treatment Ms Saranya decided to reopen the steakhouse on Suksawat Road in Ratburana district She also created a Facebook page where she regularly updates her 219,000 followers on her daughter's condition and the legal proceedings The page was also used to seek donations when necessary Ms Saranya recently offered an update on her daughter's condition in which she says Nong Cartoon has a severe lung infection A doctor said her daughter would need a ventilator for the rest of her life Ms Saranya considered giving up and allowing her daughter to pass away in peace When she shared this painful thought on social media it sparked widespread criticism -- not of her but of a justice system that had failed to deliver for a mother and her severely injured daughter highlighted the glaring injustice in the system and the stark contrast between the lives of Ms Saranya and Namphueng who has posted pictures of herself and her husband enjoying a lavish lifestyle interviewed later by the media said: "I thought about letting her go thinking that Nong Cartoon has suffered enough opened her eyes and searched for the sound so I decided that if her condition improved enough for her to leave the hospital I'll take her home and care for her myself I am looking for a new legal way to fight the responsible party," she said Justice Minister Pol Col Tawee Sodsong once said he was concerned about enforcement of the judgment there is a 10-year statute of limitations for judgments needing to pursue an asset investigation against the driver Although the 10-year enforcement period has expired her family could still ask the court to extend the asset investigation period for the driver who crashed into Nong Cartoon This case is also a matter of human rights so he needed to study legal provisions related to the "Justice Fund" to see what help could be provided Another suggestion came from Kosolwat Inthuchanyong director-general of the Office for Rights Protection and Enforcement of Judgments under the Office of the Attorney General He said that although the civil case has passed the statute of limitations Ms Saranya can still convert the civil case into a criminal case by filing charges of fraudulent concealment of assets from creditors "This can be pursued by investigating the transfer of assets by Namphueng as such transfers must be supported by evidence," he said By subscribing, you accept the terms and conditions in our privacy policy Things you buy through our links may earn Vox Media a commission Spoilers ahead for the ludicrous plot and ending of Another Simple Favor Enjoyment of the burgeoning Simple Favor franchise is predicated on two things: your ability to suspend disbelief for every new plot twist and your appreciation for Blake Lively in a suit. Paul Feig’s A Simple Favor released in 2018 and adapted from the novel of the same name relied heavily on Lively’s bold sartorial choices and the chemistry (at times overtly sapphic) between her and co-star Anna Kendrick The beach-read thriller plot — in which Lively’s Emily fakes her own death by murdering her secret twin sister forcing Kendrick’s mommy vlogger Stephanie to investigate — plays like a lighter (but also gayer!) Gone Girl If the turns it takes can be hard to swallow the game cast and Jessica Sharzer’s darkly funny script help the whole thing go down easy The long-awaited sequel Another Simple Favor retains much of the cast and crew — Laeta Kalogridis joins Sharzer on the screenplay and Elizabeth Perkins replaces Jean Smart as Emily’s mother Margaret — and transplants the story to the beautiful Italian island of Capri Emily ended up in prison at the end of the first movie but she’s been sprung from jail while her fancy new lawyers appeal her case and she’s getting married to the rich and handsome Dante Versano (Michele Morrone) she wants her best frenemy Stephanie as her maid of honor at the destination wedding The basic setup is predictably nonsensical — the last time those two saw each other Emily was trying to kill Stephanie — but the film manages to brush past any objections with surprising ease Mother-in-law Portia (Elena Sofia Ricci) spitefully surprises Emily by inviting her estranged religious-nut mother who brings along the more coherent Aunt Linda (Allison Janney) And though Emily’s (and Stephanie’s) ex Sean (Henry Golding) is just there by court order to accompany their son he’s perpetually drunk and spewing vitriol That’s to say nothing of all the people dropping dead — first Sean That Dante’s killing is immediately pinned on Stephanie isn’t really a twist (the in medias res scene that opens the film establishes as much) but it is where Another Simple Favor starts to go off the rails A Simple Favor is a deft balancing act between believability and enjoyability where the silliest twist is acceptable as long as the audience is having a good time Another Simple Favor stumbles while trying to walk that line The plot beats that follow Dante’s death strain credulity past its breaking point Let’s review exactly how it all goes wrong and where each plot twist falls on the believability-enjoyability scale The first film establishes that Emily (formerly Hope) and sister Faith had a third identical sibling Feig couldn’t resist the opportunity to have Lively play another character so Another Simple Favor has Charity turn up alive to take Emily’s place though Aunt Linda is really pulling the strings Stephanie catches on to the ruse fairly quickly assuming that Charity has also killed Emily but it’s a little hard to get anyone to take you seriously when you’ve been accused of murder and are rambling about a secret triplet Charity’s ability to pull this off seems highly unlikely — does she also speak fluent Italian the existence of the third sister was established in the first film done that” aspect of yet another Blake Lively Charity’s arrival is an entertaining development Stephanie once again tries to pry information out of Margaret whose semi-lucid ramblings give way to a flashback that shows what really happened and who told Margaret that Charity was stillborn Linda then spirited Charity away and raised her as her own With some added intel from Detective Summerville (Bashir Salahuddin) we learn that Linda has been a very active con artist with a penchant for black-widow behavior — that is marrying and then offing wealthy men — and that she’s forced Charity into a life as her accomplice because no one ever suspects kids of being criminal masterminds so the idea that there was a third sibling who spent decades under the radar feels unlikely Charity’s fractured mind (more on that below) makes it hard to imagine her being all that good at scamming While Allison Janney improves every movie she’s in Linda is nowhere near as compelling a character as the rest of her family and her backstory is relegated to an exposition dump No big surprise here: Emily wasn’t dispatched off-screen as we learn when she rescues Stephanie in the nick of time Portia kidnaps her and shoots her full of truth serum that mostly makes her very high Stephanie doesn’t confess to a crime she had nothing to do with so Portia orders her killing before she departs The mobsters are seconds away from killing Stephanie when Emily arrives and knocks them out She and a still very high Emily are able to escape mostly unscathed When Stephanie asks how Emily was able to get the jump on made men bitch,” which is basically good enough for me As delightful as it is to watch Emily kick mafiosi ass Stephanie’s role in this story becomes more and more confounding the longer Another Simple Favor goes on These movies work best when she and Emily are on a level playing field Linda’s original plan wasn’t for Dante to die — she’d been blackmailing him and Emily over the truth of their relationship Dante and Emily were never romantically involved brought in to help cover up his love affair with Matteo Bartolo (Lorenzo de Moor) the son of a family engaged in a longstanding feud with the Versanos Everyone in the Simple Favor universe is at least a little gay so this twist makes as much sense as anything (even if the logistics are a bit squishy) because it’s both a genuine surprise and something viewers highly attuned to queer subtext might have picked up on she reveals what happened when Charity took her place Charity couldn’t bring herself to kill her sister Years of being locked away by Linda has given Charity a distinctly haunted-doll vibe — she’s creepy and childlike the clearer it is that she’s completely unhinged Charity takes it upon herself to give her sister pleasure in a horrifying act of incestuous rape who has been labeled a “brother fucker” by Emily for calls Emily a “sister fucker,” which feels pretty glib under the circumstances Nothing about Charity’s mental state and ghostly vibe feels remotely grounded in reality Not to mention the fact that her ability to fool everyone but Stephanie into thinking she’s Emily would be contingent on her not being as out of her mind as the script suddenly requires her to be Although A Simple Favor pushed the envelope with Stephanie’s past indiscretion the movie was able to turn it into a dark joke Trying to do the same with a deeply disturbing act of sexual assault just doesn’t work Charity and Linda hold a drugged Nicky at gunpoint on a cliffside forcing a confrontation with Emily and Stephanie But while Charity is totally down with killing Stephanie she still doesn’t want to lose the sister she’s finally reconnected with Linda is prepared to take matters into her own hands when Nicky orchestrates a drone attack to incapacitate her after which Charity pushes Linda off the cliff to her death so it’s less drone ex machina and more Chekhov’s drone The fact that Nicky is suddenly conscious enough to fly it right to its target is certainly questionable There’s a goofiness that permeates the entire scene which feels like an easy out to an overly convoluted story Charity’s love for her sister is enough for her to pose as Emily and confess to all of the Capri murders: Sean (It was actually Linda who smothered Margaret with a pillow but that’s neither here nor there.) Charity takes Emily’s place back in prison asking Stephanie to raise him on her behalf It’s established that Nicky is the one person Emily really loves (well so the idea that after all that she’d willingly abandon him rings false Getting Charity to take her place helps her skirt accountability for her actions in the last movie but now there are several more murders pinned on Emily which doesn’t sound like a sensible plan in the long run Another Simple Favor’s denouement is as rushed as its climax including that it wasn’t Emily who killed Dante however: Portia now knows her daughter-in-law has a very particular set of skills since Emily is supposed to be safely locked up in prison Emily has married into the Versano crime family and that comes with certain responsibilities starting with — you guessed it — “a simple favor.” What exactly does Portia know and how does she know it Even being a well-connected Mafia matriarch doesn’t grant you complete omniscience Though Emily working for the mob is an intriguing notion it’s really only dropped as a tease for a sequel that might never happen We’ll have to see if Yet Another Simple Favor ever materializes — likely dependent on Feig and Sharzer figuring out how to introduce Emily’s secret quadruplet — to see if this twist pays off Password must be at least 8 characters and contain: you’ll receive occasional updates and offers from New York Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker In an exclusive interview for EW's cover story the actor explains his reaction to the latest episode Gina Gizella Manning \"GMFB\" picks the better fit for Penn State Nittany Lions defensive end Abdul Carter Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett or New York Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence There are so many people out there every spring trying to guess what NFL teams are going to do in the NFL Draft That's a fool's errand -- like predicting what my 6-year-old is going to do any given Saturday when we walk out to the soccer pitch he looks like the second coming of Declan Rice it looks like he's never seen a ball before in his life Take an offensive lineman in the second round Take Ashton now and let your fan base love again.  You might have had the worst offensive line in the NFL last season, and I get why you'd want to build that unit up, but passing on talent for positional need can set a franchise back.

said Stoltz stared his optimization process with the A1 setting “A1 is like the baseline degrees of loft,” he said “It’s on a standard setting — that’s exactly where it is right now — and then we’ll be able to move it up a degree in loft and hopefully find the ball flight that works for us.” Stoltz’s first swing with the A1 setting resulted in a ball flight that was high and left — not his preferred shot shape you’ll want to hit a handful of shots to determine which ball flight is the most consistent “I’m more of a guy that likes to see the ball go left to right,” Stoltz said “I also like it down maybe a window or two.” Once you know your ball flight from the A1 setting and you have an idea of the ball flight you want to achieve all you need to do is use the FutureFit33 QR code

icon next to the articles you wish to save It can be tempting to assume that your intuitions about three-dimensional space carry over to higher-dimensional realms adding another dimension simply creates a new direction to move around in It doesn’t change the defining features of space: its endlessness and its uniformity But different dimensions have decidedly different personalities. In dimensions 8 and 24, it’s possible to pack balls together especially tightly there are “exotic” spheres that look irremediably crumpled And dimension 3 is the only one that can contain knots — in any higher dimension you can untangle a knot even while holding its ends fast mathematicians have put the finishing touches on a story of dimensional weirdness that has been 65 years in the making researchers have wanted to know which dimensions can host particularly strange shapes — ones so twisted that they cannot be converted into a sphere through a simple procedure called surgery is intimately intertwined with fundamental questions in topology about the relationships between spheres of different dimensions mathematicians found that the twisted shapes exist in dimensions 2 They also showed that such shapes could not possibly exist in any other dimension — save one No one could determine the status of dimension 126 Three mathematicians have now settled this final problem. In a paper posted online last December, Weinan Lin and Guozhen Wang of Fudan University in Shanghai, along with Zhouli Xu of the University of California proved that 126 is indeed one of the rare dimensions that can host these strangely twisted shapes It’s “a very long program, finally finished,” said Ulrike Tillmann of the University of Oxford The proof, which uses a combination of computer calculations and theoretical insights, is “like a monumental engineering project,” said Michael Hopkins of Harvard University In the 1950s, the mathematician John Milnor astonished the mathematical world by showing that dimension 7 is home to “exotic” spheres An exotic sphere looks exactly like an ordinary sphere from the perspective of topology which only considers the features of a shape that don’t change when it is stretched or deformed But the two spheres have incompatible definitions of smoothness — a curve that’s smooth on an ordinary sphere might not be considered smooth on an exotic sphere Milnor was eager to explore and classify these exotic spheres which in some dimensions turned out to be rare and in others numbered in the thousands To do this, he introduced a technique called surgery a controlled way to simplify a mathematical shape and potentially convert it into an exotic sphere The method would become essential to the study of manifolds more generally surgery involves slicing out a piece of a manifold and then sewing in one or more new pieces along the boundary of the cut (When it comes to questions about twisted shapes mathematicians also require the surgery to respect the manifold’s “framing,” a technical attribute of how the manifold sits in space.) let’s surgically transform a torus (the two-dimensional surface of a doughnut) into a sphere (the two-dimensional surface of a ball): The result is an ordinary sphere — in fact surgery converts some manifolds into ordinary spheres and others into exotic spheres there’s yet another possibility: manifolds that can’t be converted into a sphere at all only this time we’ll give it some special twists to obstruct surgeries: Mathematicians have proved that there is no surgery that can transform this twisted torus into a sphere It’s an entirely different class of manifold In 1960, the French mathematician Michel Kervaire came up with an invariant — a number you can calculate for a given smooth manifold — that equals zero when the manifold can be surgically converted into a sphere So the ordinary torus has a Kervaire invariant of zero while the twisted torus has a Kervaire invariant of 1 Kervaire used his invariant to explore the menagerie of possible manifolds in different dimensions He even used it to come up with a 10-dimensional manifold that has no Kervaire invariant either zero or 1 — meaning that this manifold must be so crooked that it can have no sensible notion of smoothness at all No one had imagined that such a manifold could exist mathematicians rushed to determine the Kervaire invariants of manifolds in different dimensions Within a few years, they’d proved that twisted manifolds of Kervaire invariant 1 exist in dimensions 2, 6, 14 and 30. These dimensions fit a pattern: Each number is 2 less than a power of 2 (for example, 30 is 25 − 2). In 1969, the mathematician William Browder proved that dimensions of this form are the only ones that might host shapes with a Kervaire invariant of 1 It was natural to assume that twisted manifolds would exist in all dimensions of this form: 62 one mathematician even built an entire edifice of conjectures about exotic spheres and other shapes But the possibility that the original assumption might be false still loomed It came to be known as the doomsday hypothesis since it would falsify all these other conjectures Zhouli Xu was warned against trying to resolve the Kervaire conjecture while in graduate school But the problem remained “a constant source of fascination,” he said Archives of the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach And indeed, while mathematicians showed in 1984 that twisted manifolds exist in dimension 62 no one could prove that such manifolds exist in any of the remaining dimensions mathematicians eventually ran out of steam In 2009, “to stem the tide of oblivion,” the mathematician Victor Snaith wrote a book exploring the implications of having manifolds with Kervaire invariant 1 in all the dimensions on Browder’s list “this might turn out to be a book about things which do not exist.” If Snaith had published his book a year later, it might have read very differently. For within weeks of the book’s publication, Hopkins and two other researchers confounded mathematicians by announcing that Snaith’s warning to readers had been all too apt: The doomsday hypothesis was true. Manifolds of Kervaire invariant 1, they had proved The result left mathematicians in a curious position. Out of the entire infinitude of possible shapes in possible dimensions, the shapes in precisely one dimension still resisted classification. In the words of Douglas Ravenel a mathematician at the University of Rochester and one of the co-authors of the doomsday-hypothesis proof there was “a big loose end.” It took the form of dimension 126 In 2011, Zhouli Xu arrived at the University of Chicago as a new graduate student planning to study computational aspects of manifolds. His adviser, Peter May which mathematicians thought was likely to involve massive computations May sent Xu to Mark Mahowald of Northwestern University an expert on the Kervaire invariant problem who had even named his sailboat after one of its key symbols — θj But Mahowald, who died in 2013, immediately vetoed the proposal. The dimension 126 problem was too hard, he told Xu — “a lifelong problem.” Instead, he guided the young mathematician toward related problems in lower dimensions the dimension 126 problem remained “a constant source of fascination,” he said Guozhen Wang studies complicated objects to gain insights into high-dimensional shapes that defy imagination The potential strategy to settle the problem was no mystery. Mathematicians had long known that crucial secrets about exotic spheres and other manifolds are encoded in objects known as stable homotopy groups of spheres or “mappings,” that send points from a high-dimensional sphere to a lower-dimensional one a mapping that sends every point in a 44-dimensional sphere to a point in a 33-dimensional sphere This mapping essentially crushes down 11 dimensions’ worth of the bigger sphere If you choose some point on the smaller sphere and find all the points on the bigger sphere that got mapped to it these points will typically form an 11-dimensional manifold Now consider all the different points on your smaller sphere each point gives you another 11-dimensional manifold So your mapping doesn’t just create a single 11-dimensional manifold It creates a bucket of 11-dimensional manifolds A stable homotopy group is a set in which each element is a collection of mappings like this one Mathematicians knew that to settle the Kervaire invariant question in a given dimension, they only needed to understand the stable homotopy group for that dimension There’s just one difficulty: Understanding stable homotopy groups is one of the most challenging and foundational problems in topology “I do not expect it to be solved within the lifetime of my granddaughters,” Ravenel said So instead, mathematicians approach this problem by degrees. Since 1958, they’ve been organizing information about the structure of stable homotopy groups into an enormous but unfinished atlas of dots called the Adams spectral sequence Weinan Lin wrote a computer program that helped him and his colleagues resolve a decades-old conjecture about the strange properties of shapes in high dimensions Imagine a book with an infinite number of pages each of which consists of infinitely many columns of dots Let’s open the book and examine a single page Each column on this page represents a dimension Each dot in a given column represents a different potential “flavor” for sphere mappings in that dimension the book is exceedingly repetitive — each page has the same list of columns you’ll notice a key difference: Each page captures successively finer details of sphere mappings and manifolds The atlas’s early pages are only approximations of the truth The approximations get better as you turn the pages until on the final page of the atlas — known as the “infinity” page — the representation is perfect Navigating the atlas is like exploring the universe of manifolds with increasingly powerful telescopes and many manifolds that don’t really belong have been erroneously included you may be able to detect that a manifold has some “flaw” that would exclude it from the atlas you would delete the relevant dot on all subsequent pages of the atlas where you might hope to turn an even stronger telescope on it In 1969, Browder showed that one specific dot in the 126th column of the atlas holds the key to the Kervaire invariant problem in that dimension then buckets of 126-dimensional manifolds must come in both flavors: Half of the buckets will consist of manifolds with Kervaire invariant zero and half will consist of manifolds with Kervaire invariant 1 then 126-dimensional manifolds come in just one flavor there were 105 different hypothetical ways that it might vanish before the infinity page his longtime collaborator and former college roommate As they developed new computational techniques a mathematician Xu had known since graduate school Lin wrote a program that was able to rule out 101 of the possibilities the researchers painstakingly developed new methods to rule out the last four does survive to the infinity page — meaning that dimension 126 has manifolds with Kervaire invariant 1 mathematicians thought such a computation was way out of reach The new work is “heroically computational,” he added Its methods may eventually help mathematicians chart even more of the giant atlas While the new paper proves that strangely twisted shapes exist in dimension 126 Researchers have identified specific twisted shapes in the first four special Kervaire dimensions: 2 But no one has found one yet in dimension 62 or 126 even though in each dimension where these shapes exist they make up fully half of all possible shapes “we can’t actually point to one,” Tillmann said If mathematicians do figure out how to construct twisted shapes in dimensions 62 and 126 it might give them some clue about what makes these six dimensions special — why it’s possible to build such twisty shapes in those and only those dimensions “Usually when [something like] that happens there’s some very beautiful construction,” Hopkins said because it’s got to only work five or six times and not infinitely many times.” The new work “makes it more inspiring to really try to find the special construction of these six things.” No one knows yet what kind of strange manifolds correspond to the special dots in these dimensions — but mathematicians hope to find out Discoveries about subsequent rows will likely also be forthcoming “There should be a lot more stories later on Quanta Magazine moderates comments to facilitate an informed incoherent or off-topic comments will be rejected Moderators are staffed during regular business hours (New York time) and can only accept comments written in English We’ll email you instructions to reset your password Just in time for warm-weather hangouts and rooftop season, White Claw® is rewriting the rules of happy hour.

He blends classic blues influences with a fresh, personal perspective. Silver stopped by “Live in the D,” to share a special performance, and talk about his musical journey. “I grew up listening to the music of the time, kind of like Alternative Rock, then I would go back a decade or two and figure out who they listened to,” Silver said. He said he would then research even more - and that brought him to The Delta Blues, and the Grand Fathers of the Blues. He said when it comes to his music, he gets inspiration everywhere. He performed his song “Blues From a Lifetime Ago,” on “Live In The D.” Click the video above to watch his interview and performance. Copyright 2025 by WDIV ClickOnDetroit - All rights reserved.

Introduced in the early 2000s, the original model gained a following for its ventilation-focused construction, aimed at keeping feet cool during high-intensity movement. Now, in this latest collaboration, Kith and adidas take that DNA and remix it through a thoroughly modern lens—introducing 3D printing into the equation The result is a shoe that appears more sculpted than stitched Its wavy lattice framework wraps around the foot like a natural extension of the body delivering ventilation and structure without the need for excessive layering or panels The 3D-printed exterior gives the Climacool an almost architectural edge resembling an art installation just as much as a sneaker This version leans hard into minimalism with its monochromatic Off White colorway allowing the shape and form of the shoe to take center stage there’s subtle branding built into the silhouette—most notably the Three Stripes appear in muted shades of gray offering a tonal contrast that plays beautifully within the neutral palette The appeal of the Kith x adidas Climacool goes beyond its futuristic silhouette It’s also a reflection of how design and technology are merging in contemporary sneaker culture The shoe’s 3D-printed structure doesn’t just offer aesthetic appeal—it’s a functional innovation The open lattice encourages airflow in ways traditional mesh can’t making it one of the most breathable and lightweight sneakers adidas has ever released under the Climacool banner Kith’s involvement ensures the sneaker doesn’t stray too far into conceptual territory and elevated essentials—gives the model a grounded identity the styling remains versatile enough for everyday wear Whether paired with Kith’s tailored sweats the Climacool slots seamlessly into a curated rotation This upcoming release adds to the growing legacy of the Kith x adidas partnership which has delivered everything from lifestyle trainers and retro revivals to sport-specific collections What makes this collaboration particularly interesting is its blend of technical design and minimalist refinement It doesn’t rely on loud colors or flashy detailing to get attention—it earns it through silhouette While official release details are still under wraps the teaser alone has created considerable buzz online especially among those who have been following the resurgence of 3D-printed sneakers With performance innovation and lifestyle versatility built into its DNA this Climacool drop feels positioned to move units fast once it hits the digital shelves While no confirmed launch date has been announced at the time of writing, the Kith x adidas Climacool “Off White” is expected to release later this year. Based on past collaborative drops, fans can anticipate it arriving through Kith’s official site, the adidas Confirmed app Given its design pedigree and technical uniqueness the sneaker will likely land with a price tag slightly above the model’s base MSRP of $140 USD—a fair ask for a shoe that fuses next-gen technology with high-end design language Those eager to stay ahead of the drop should follow Kith and adidas on social media and subscribe to release alerts With demand building and quantities expected to be limited early access could make all the difference In an industry where collaborations are often saturated with logo-heavy designs and nostalgia plays the Kith x adidas Climacool “Off White” stands out for its focus on forward-thinking form and function It’s not just a remix—it’s a redefinition of what collaborative footwear can look like in a digitally driven world By fusing 3D-printing innovation with the cultural capital of Kith and the performance pedigree of adidas this drop offers more than just hype—it delivers vision TWSTTwist Bioscience Corp TWST reported a quarterly adjusted loss of 66 cents​​ per share for the quarter ended March 31 when the company reported EPS of -79 cents The mean expectation of eleven analysts for the quarter was for a loss of 58 cents per share Wall Street expected results to range from -61 cents to -54 cents per share Revenue rose 23.2% to $92.79 million from a year ago; analysts expected $91.99 million Twist Bioscience Corp's reported EPS for the quarter was a loss of 66 cents​ The company reported a quarterly loss of $39.33 million Twist Bioscience Corp shares had fallen by 0.1% this quarter and lost 15.6% so far this year The mean earnings estimate of analysts had fallen by about 3.4% in the last three months.​ there have been no earnings estimate revisions by analysts covering the company The current average analyst rating on the shares is "buy" and the breakdown of recommendations is 10 "strong buy" or "buy," 2 "hold" and 1 "sell" or "strong sell."

The original Daemon X Machina is essentially a spiritual successor to Armored Core (released before FromSoftware revived the series with 2023’s Fires of Rubicon) featuring giant mechs blasting away at each other with missiles and lasers which has put some fans of the original game on edge the switch to nimbler suits also comes with a vicious addition to melee combat that will have players ripping enemies about with their bare robotic hands Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion adds a Monster Hunter-inspired twist to mech combat developer Marvelous runs down the details of how Titanic Scion’s combat will work there’s a focus on melee and short-range combat like the original game’s mechs) using a sword along with a rifle in close range Other interesting weapons like bows and railguns are also shown off and it seems like Titanic Scion will put more emphasis on rapidly switching between weapons depending on which has an advantage against the foe you’re currently facing Where the trailer really starts to diverge from the original Daemon X Machina is in Titanic Scion’s new knockdown and grab attacks letting the player grab it for a high-damage attack pick it up and throw it at other targets to take them both out Like the original, and other mech games like Armored Core 6, Titanic Scion also has you sometimes facing off against opponents much larger than your own Arsenal. Here, the new grab abilities of your exosuit take on a different, altogether more interesting form seemingly inspired by Monster Hunter and Dragon’s Dogma grab attacks will let you rip off parts of their mechs which exposes weak points you can target for more damage building on a system from the original game that let you damage parts with weapon fire in boss fights you can then pick up some of the parts that get torn off and use them as weapons The trailer shows a player tearing a horn from one massive creature then picking it up and wielding it like a club Fights against gigantic monsters might require getting your hands dirty Daemon X Machina is already a great mech game that calls back to some of the classics of the genre, but Titanic Scions carving out its own identity definitely seems like the right move. With Armored Core itself now back and a wave of games like Mecha Break bringing giant battle bots back Titanic Scions’ more brutal combat definitely helps it stand out from the crowd Titanic Scion will be available on the original Switch it also looks like it’s taking full advantage of the updated hardware in the Switch 2 While the original’s fast-paced combat was impressive it was clearly held back a bit by the console’s relatively humble specs as evidenced by the significantly better looking PC version The sequel looks like a huge step up in that department both in its more detailed environments and the silky smooth combat shown in its trailer The first Daemon X Machina is a fun but niche entry in the Switch’s library but Titanic Scion could make a bigger splash when it launches later this year Twist Bioscience (NASDAQ: TWST) has made significant strides by launching Atlas Data Storage a new standalone venture focusing on DNA storage technology This move is bolstered by a substantial $155 million investment with Twist Bioscience retaining a 24% ownership stake The company reported impressive financial results for the second quarter with revenue climbing to $92.8 million—a robust 23% increase year-over-year attributed to heightened production volumes and operational efficiencies The consensus recommendation from 13 brokerage firms rates Twist Bioscience Corp (TWST, Financial) at an average of 2.0 which aligns with an "Outperform" status This rating suggests analysts are optimistic about the stock's potential representing a "Strong Buy," to 5 I’ve got a weekend ahead—we can cut this short he whiffs so spectacularly that it’ll make your head spin For me, A Simple Favor was like a grand slam home run That film cut out its own little slice of neo-noir that was equal parts sincere Diabolique sexual thriller versus characters shouting “Are you trying to Diabolique me?” It was a clever puzzle box acted in a way that pushed both stars beyond their limits of all things) one of those Feig films that I only enjoy more on each re-watch I would believe you if you told me that neither Feig nor anyone else showed up on set to direct this this comes from someone who loved the first film so much that he spent the last few years actively hunting news and updates on the sequel But this isn’t a ‘disappointment’ that stems from setting too high expectations—I assure you that I knew what a Blake Lively/Anna Kendrick thriller sequel would play like in 2025 as most of the characters in this tale of wacky woe spend their precious few moments on screen recapping the last film narrating the actions that they are currently performing as if reading the script’s action lines aloud or hoping that yelling “Suck my dick!” at increasing volumes will be enough to entertain you because you will not watch this in a theater You are going to watch it on streaming (where it is available today) and not watch it so much as let it play in the background while you look at your phone And in that way, Another Simple Favor is perfect There is no visual element worth looking up from a pick-three game to gaze upon There is no performance that will make the lifeless artificial intelligence-adjacent dialogue more engaging there is nothing to really shake a fist toward Get the latest from The Pitch delivered directly to your inbox Subscribe authorities claim there’s a connection the suspect has with the fallen officer that makes the killing seem more like a revenge plot It was very difficult to watch for the family,” said Cochran Law Firm attorney Michael Wright Pizza Twist & Taco Twist will offer fusion cuisine, such as this Chicken Tikka Masala pizza, at their new location in Leander.

Director Jake Schreier and co-writer Joanna Calo previously worked together on the Netflix series Beef which makes them especially qualified for a movie that’s at least 50 percent bickering who has previously employed all of them in various extralegal capacities sends each of them on a mission to kill one of the others as a way of covering up her past before a congressional investigation unearths the truth And although they quickly realize they’ve been set up and are better off joining forces against their common enemy they never stop squabbling among themselves the Thunderbolts’ constant bickering has a strained as if the director simply yelled “and … Banter!” and let the cameras roll I’m not one of the people who thinks Joss Whedon’s self-conscious quirk ruined genre screenwriting for a generation but after the third or fourth time Yelena made a snarky comment about U.S I started to think that those people might have a point the movie features not only some of the best actors in the MCU Pugh’s dry deadpan is deepened by her character’s borscht-thick Russian accent and Louis-Dreyfus makes a splendid schemer a spineless weasel with just enough power to be truly dangerous It’s a movie that doesn’t mind devoting several minutes to a sequence in which the characters find themselves trapped at the bottom of a long underground shaft and have to press their bodies together All this team building pays off at the movie’s climax when the fledgling supergroup finds itself saving Manhattan (Surely other cities need saving sometimes?) Thanks to Valentina’s off-the-books experiments Bob has been transformed into a Superman-level hero named Sentry but she doesn’t know or doesn’t care that he’s mentally unstable subject to bouts of severe depression that are amplified by his newly acquired powers When he realizes that he’s become something close to a god turning him into a charcoal-black effigy with golden pinpoints for eyes and a casual disregard for lower life forms—which He barely even notices as he trashes the former Avengers Tower and sends debris plummeting toward the sidewalk outside Grand Central Station but it also permanently and irrevocably divorced it from anything resembling the world the movies’ audiences inhabit It’s telling that the only original Avenger with a robust civilian life is Hawkeye aren’t too far removed from being your typical schmoes Rescuing random strangers isn’t something they do on the way to their big boss battle—it’s the essence of who they are not just a bunch of misfits thrown together by fate a massive slab of concrete goes hurtling toward earth and although Alexei is able to stop it from crushing a paralyzed little girl it’s so big that it threatens to crush him instead and eventually there’s just enough muscle between them to thrust the slab up and away That sequence is followed by a proper climax where the Thunderbolts manage to subdue the movie’s villain But it’s not as moving as their wrestling with a massive chunk of rock notwithstanding the movie’s attempts at comic-book psychodrama the most potent illustration of its underlying theme: that no one no matter how alienated or off-center they may feel Marvel’s heroes have saved the world and/or universe more times than you can count but mostly they seem to be saving only themselves Thunderbolts* treats ordinary people as if they’re the ones who matter and superheroes are just there to keep them safe Twist Bioscience (TWST, Financial) has initiated the separation of its DNA data storage technology into a new entity Through contribution and license agreements Twist has transferred and licensed its DNA data storage technology to Atlas Twist receives a minority stake in the new venture along with an upfront cash payment and a secured promissory note This strategic move allows Twist to maintain a stake in Atlas and potentially benefit through future technological advancements and financial milestones including royalties from Atlas' future product sales technology developments by Atlas that apply to Twist’s existing product groups could be advantageous for Twist The two companies will function independently George Kadifa from Sumeru Equity Partners will act as executive chairman of Atlas Twist co-founder and former general manager of DNA data storage will become Chief Technology Officer at Atlas This spin-out was approved by an independent special committee from Twist’s board with Jefferies providing financial advisory services Based on the consensus recommendation from 13 brokerage firms, Twist Bioscience Corp's (TWST, Financial) average brokerage recommendation is currently 2.0 Twist Bioscience (TWST) has recently reported its second-quarter financial results the company achieved a substantial milestone by posting a revenue of $92.79 million This figure not only marks a remarkable 23.2% increase compared to the same period last year but also surpasses forecasts by $0.75 million The consensus among 13 brokerage firms positions Twist Bioscience Corp (TWST, Financial) with an average brokerage recommendation of 2.0 This rating reflects an "Outperform" status on the scale where 1 indicates Strong Buy and 5 suggests Sell Such consensus suggests optimism in Twist Bioscience's future market performance Marvel Unlimited where world-shaking battles tested his limitless power and molecule-manipulating powers that made him one of the strongest beings in the universe The Sentry began operating as a hero shortly before the emergence of the Fantastic Four. In between his adventures with Mister Fantastic, the Hulk, and the X-Men recruited Billy Turner as his sidekick Scout As Carnage attacked the heroes on the Raft, Nelson convinced Reynolds to save his friends. The Sentry pummeled the symbiote villain and flew him into Earth's upper atmosphere, where he tore him in half, in NEW AVENGERS (2004) #2 by Bendis and Finch With intense telepathic guidance from Emma Frost, the Sentry recovered his lost memories, made the Void disappear, and joined the New Avengers in NEW AVENGERS (2004) #10 by Bendis and McNiven and his Watchtower reemerged atop Stark Tower After coming to understand his nature and the Void's connections to him Iron Man ultimately drafted him onto his Pro-Registration side and continued to discover the limits of his powers including the apparent ability to resurrect the recently deceased In the ensuing battle, the Sentry and the World-Breaker Hulk unleashed their full power against each other, destroying part of Manhattan. After exhausting almost all of their power, the Sentry and the Hulk returned to their human forms and collapsed in WORLD WAR HULK (2007) #5 by Pak and Romita Jr After Osborn gave the Sentry another dose of the Golden Sentry Serum, the Void returned and agreed to work for Osborn. As the Sentry carried out Osborn's orders, the Void began to assert more control over the hero, especially when he faced off against the Molecule Man and tried to incinerate himself in the Sun After the Void led the Sentry through a brutal battle against the Avengers and Thor, Reynolds reasserted himself and asked the heroes to kill him in SIEGE (2009) #4 by Bendis and Coipel Thor killed the Sentry when the Void regained control of his body and the God of Thunder subsequently flew the Sentry's body into the Sun to keep the Void from regenerating Want to read more about the Sentry?
