https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-politics-68500807 Vaughan Gething is set to be Wales' next first minister after narrowly winning the Welsh Labour leadership election with 51.7% of the vote. Mr Gething, who will become the first black person to lead Wales, beat his rival Jeremy Miles, who took 48.3%. He was congratulated by UK Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. But Plaid Cymru expressed "deep concerns" over donations from a controversial waste company in Cardiff. Mr Gething's campaign was marred by headlines about £200,000 of cash from Dauson Environmental Group, owned by a man that had twice prosecuted for environmental offences Welsh government minister and Miles supporter, Julie James called for a review of how leadership campaigns would be run in the future. Mark Drakeford is expected to resign on Tuesday after his final First Minister's Questions in the Senedd. Mr Gething will replace him the following day. Born to a Welsh father and a Zambian mother, Mr Gething pursued a legal career before being elected to the Welsh Parliament in 2011. The Cardiff South and Penarth Member of the Senedd (MS) is currently economy minister in Mr Drakeford's cabinet, and celebrated his 50th birthday on Friday. Mr Starmer said Mr Gething would "lead a hopeful, ambitious Welsh Labour government, in the face of a tired and failed Tory government in Westminster". The prime minister said on X, formerly known as Twitter, Mr Gething's election was "a chance for a new Welsh administration to focus on what matters to people in Wales". As it happened: Vaughan Gething wins Welsh Labour leadership Listen: Who is next Welsh First Minister, Vaughan Gething? Vaughan Gething: From Zambia to Wales' next first minister As soon as the announcement had been made, Mr Gething received a huge hug from his young son. Mr Miles left the Cardiff University building where the result was announced without speaking to the media. He later issued a written statement congratulating Mr Gething but, in what might be an allusion to the row over donations, said Welsh Labour leaders must continuously earn the trust of the public. In his acceptance speech, Mr Gething praised his predecessor, describing Mr Drakeford as the "right leader at the right time in the pandemic". He also praised his rival, Mr Miles, who would have been Wales' first gay leader if he had been the victor. Mr Gething said the education minister had given a "new hope" to Welsh boys and girls "who might have otherwise thought very differently about public life here". Turning to his victory, he said: "Today, we turn a page in the book of our nation's history. "Not just because I have the honour of becoming the first black leader in any European country - but because the generational dial has jumped too." Getty Images Vaughan Gething giving his victory speechGetty Images Vaughan Gething said a page was being turned "in the book of our nation's history" He also emphasised his commitment to devolution, calling it "not something I have had to get used to or adapt to or apologise for". "Devolution - Welsh solutions to Welsh problems - that's in my blood. It's what I've always known." 'Trust that must be continually earned' In his statement, Mr Miles said: "I congratulate Vaughan on his election. I wish him every success for Wales' future." He said he was proud he secured support "from a clear majority of Welsh Labour Senedd members, council leaders and deputies, CLPs [Constituency Labour Parties], and across our trades unions, MPs, peers and the all member vote of the Co-operative Party". In what might be a reference to the controversy over donations to the new Welsh Labour leader's campaign, Mr Miles said serving the people of Wales was "an honour and responsibility underpinned by trust that must be continually earned". Getty Images Jeremy MilesGetty Images Jeremy Miles said he was "incredibly proud" of his campaign Mr Gething accepted £200,000 for his campaign from a company, Dauson Environmental Group, owned by David John Neal. Mr Neal was given a suspended prison sentence in 2013 for illegally dumping waste on a conservation site. Four years later he was given another suspended sentence for not removing it. It emerged earlier this week Mr Gething had, in 2016 and in 2018, lobbied an environmental regulator on behalf of one of Mr Neal's companies. One of Mr Neal's businesses, that also donated to Mr Gething's 2018 leadership campaign, is currently embroiled in a row in Pembrokeshire where residents have complained about the smell of a landfill site. Atlantic Recycling - part of Mr Neal's group Dauson Environmental - also admitted a fresh waste offence in January, and was fined £300,000 over the death of a worker. The £200,000 donation is thought to be at least one of the largest seen in modern Welsh politics. 'Doing my job' Mr Gething defended the donations in an interview with BBC Radio Wales, and said he "scrupulously" followed the rules. Letters sent to Wales' environmental agency Natural Resources Wales, that he lobbied on behalf of Atlantic Recycling, showed him "doing my job as a constituency member", he argued. "This is a significant employer within the constituency [with] dozens of jobs there," he said. "I'm really clear that nothing changes my commitment to having a firmer environmental regulation." But Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth called on him to return the cash. PA Media Vaughan with his sonPA Media Vaughan Gething won 51.7% of the vote Mr ap Iorwerth said it was a "matter of deep concern that we now have an incoming first minister who, before even taking up the highest public office, is facing serious allegations and questions about his judgement". "At the very least, Vaughan Gething should surely return the £200,000 campaign donation which has rightly drawn so much criticism from within his own party and beyond." Plaid is in the final year of a three-year agreement with Labour Welsh ministers on a series of policies, including increasing the number of Senedd members. There is no indication the co-operation deal will end, and Mr ap Iorwerth told BBC Radio Wales politicians in the Senedd have to "co-operate". Julie James, who is currently climate change minister, told BBC Wales there needs to be a "full-scale" review of the rules for running elections, in light of the Dauson money. Asked if Mr Gething had made a mistake in accepting the money, she said: "I'm not going to comment on that, but what I will say is that it's quite clear that with the rules the way they are we will continue to have this kind of problem until they are sorted out." The leader of the biggest opposition party in the Welsh Parliament, Conservative Andrew RT Davies, congratulated him on his win but warned "Wales can expect more of the same with Vaughan Gething as first minister". "Gething has been part of a Labour Welsh government that has presided over record NHS waiting lists, the steepest decline in educational standards in the UK, the highest business rates in Britain and is committed to the 20mph speed limit."

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-68554001 A woman from Bourne wants the law changing after her two kittens were killed by cars. Amber French, 24, was left "heartbroken" after Shadow and Oddball both died within a week of each other. Under current law, if drivers hit a cat, they are not required to stop and report it. Ms French said "there has to be" a law to protect cats the same as dogs. Amber French Two catsAmber French Shadow (left) and Oddball (right) died at 11 months old after they were hit on Mill Drove in Bourne The single mum of a four-year-old found out through Facebook on 28 February that the first kitten, Shadow, had been hit by a car and found him on the grass by the side of the road. She then received a call days later from a local vets that Oddball had also been hit and died on 7 March. "My heart just went, it broke me because it was another cat we'd lost in a week, that can't be right", she said. 'Traumatic situation' Under Section 170 of the 1988 Road Traffic Act, it is the "duty of the driver to stop, report the accident and give information or documents" if damage is caused to an animal. The legislation, last updated on 11 March, covers horse, cattle, ass, mule, sheep, pigs, goats or dogs, but not cats. Several campaigners are calling for more legislation on road traffic collisions involving cats, and a petition that received 102,437 signatures led to a debate in Westminster Hall on 9 January 2023. Ms French said: "If the same rules apply to a dog, why does it not apply to a cat? They're a pet, they're in someone's house, I just don't understand it. "There has to be a law in place. I think people are heartless if they don't stop. It's been a very traumatic and heartbreaking situation and I don't want anyone else to deal with that." Ms French still has five cats including Trixie who gave birth to Shadow and Oddball. An RSPCA spokesperson said: "Our sympathies go to the owner of the two kittens who were killed in such upsetting circumstances. "We would firmly support a change in the law which would mean drivers would legally have to stop and report the incident to police if they hit a cat, the same way they currently do for dogs, pigs, horses, cattle and goats."

https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/68580140 Harry Tector hit a superb 56 and Ben White claimed four wickets as Ireland defeated Afghanistan by 38 runs in the first of three Twenty20 matches. Tector's fifth T20 half-century helped Ireland to 149-6 in the United Arab Emirates. White took four wickets and Josh Little a hat-trick as Afghanistan fell 38 runs short. "It was a fantastic performance, a real team performance," said Ireland captain Paul Stirling. After losing the one-day international series 2-0, Stirling added: "It's no mean feat beating Afghanistan. I know it's not necessarily their home soil, but they play a huge amount of cricket here. "We've got to put this behind us again and see if we can win a series because it will probably only get tougher, and we'll expect Afghanistan to keep improving as well." Afghans defeat tourists in third ODI to secure 2-0 series win Ireland took to the crease first in Sharjah as Andrew Balbirnie and Stirling built up an opening partnership. Balbirnie was first to be dismissed when he was caught by Rahmanullah Gurbaz on 22, and Lorcan Tucker was next to fall on four in the seventh over. Returning captain Rashid Khan inflicted a quick-fire double when Stirling was caught by Ibrahim Zadran, and the spinner bowled Curtis Campher first ball. However, Tector's stand was crucial and that allowed Ireland to end their 20 overs at 149-6. Ireland landed an early blow when Mark Adair removed Gurbaz with the very first ball of the innings and Little struck twice in the second over to remove Sediqullah Atal and then Azmatullah Omarzai, to leave Afghanistan struggling at 4-3. Wickets for White and Barry McCarthy restricted Afghanistan to 50-5 inside nine overs, before the former dismissed Ijaz Ahmadzai and Kharote with back-to-back balls and then got rid of Mohammad Nabi. Little returned to claim his hat-trick when he got the better of the talismanic Rashid, who was making his return from a back injury. That wicket put Ireland in control and McCarthy struck the final blow to leave Afghanistan all out for 111 with eight balls to spare. The second T20 takes place at the same venue on Sunday before Monday's third and final match.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68586062 Shops and schools have been closed in the Russian city of Belgorod after bombardments that authorities there have blamed on Ukraine. Belgorod governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said two people were killed - as voting continues in a general election Vladimir Putin is certain to win. Air defence systems downed eight Ukrainian missiles, Mr Gladkov said. Mr Putin accused Ukraine of trying to disrupt his bid for another six-year term. Students in Belgorod - which is near the border with Ukraine - will not attend school on Monday and Tuesday, the governor said. While shopping centres in Belgorod will be closed on Sunday and Monday, Mr Gladkov added. Mr Gladkov said one woman was killed in a car park while with her son, as they walked a dog. "Medics are fighting for her son's life," the governor added. Images circulating on social media show a car park billowing with smoke and fire. Belgorod has been the target of several retaliatory strikes from Kyiv. The Russian defence ministry confirmed that it had "inflicted losses" in the border areas of Ukraine and the Belgorod and Kursk regions. Also on Saturday, the governor of the Samara region - some 850km (530 miles) southeast of Moscow - said Ukrainian drones targeted two oil refineries. In a post on Telegram, Dmitry Azarov said one of the refineries, in Syzran, had been set alight but there were no casualties. A Ukrainian source told Reuters Kyiv's SBU intelligence agency struck three Samara region Rosneft refineries - in Syzran, Novokuibyshevsk and Kuibyshevsk. Kyiv has not commented about the attacks in Belgorod. Rosenberg: Russia's stage-managed election Putin: From Russia's KGB to a presidency defined by war Russian arrests as ballot boxes targeted in Putin vote The elections, which are described as neither free nor fair by critics, are set to see Mr Putin win six more years in office. The result is not in doubt as Mr Putin has no credible opponent. Potential candidates who opposed Russia's invasion of Ukraine were barred from running. While Mr Putin's most vocal critic, Alexei Navalny, died suddenly in an Arctic prison last month. Mr Navalny's spokespeople have accused the Kremlin of killing the politician. These suggestions have been vehemently denied by the Russian government. His widow, Yulia Navalnaya, called on Kremlin opponents to go to polling stations en masse at noon on Sunday to protest against the election. Despite these elections being skewed in Mr Putin's favour, voting on Friday was filled with acts of vandalism at polling stations. Reuters A woman pours a liquid into a ballot box, during the Russian presidential election in Moscow, Russia, in this screen grab taken from a video recording of a screen showing CCTV footage, March 15, 2024Reuters Officials said that there had been five incidents across Russia of dye being dropped into ballot boxes Incidents of vandalism involved green dye being poured into ballot boxes, the boxes being set alight and fireworks being set off inside polling stations, state media reported. "They try to scare us, but this is not a nation that can be intimidated," 68-year-old Elena Kirsanova told AFP. On Saturday, the ruling United Russia party said it had endured a large-scale hacking attack on its website, as reported by AFP. Voting is taking place in Russia over three days until Sunday, spanning several time zones. Polling stations opened in the Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia's easternmost region, at 08:00 local time on Friday (20:00 GMT on Thursday) and will finally close in the westernmost Kaliningrad exclave at 20:00 on Sunday.

https://www.gadgets360.com/mobiles/news/motorola-edge-50-fusion-specifications-india-launch-expected-5251272 Motorola has announced that it will launch a new smartphone in India soon. The Lenovo-owned smartphone maker has begun to tease some of the specifications of its next smartphone, with a few days to go before the phone makes its debut in the country. While Motorola is yet to officially reveal the name of the upcoming smartphone or a launch date, the specifications revealed by the company suggest that it will be a mid-range smartphone — like the purported Motorola Edge 50 Fusion. In the series of posts on X (formerly known as Twitter) Motorola has revealed that its next smartphone will be equipped with a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip. This is a mobile processor that is found on mid-range handsets, which means the upcoming Motorola phone could be launched in the same segment. The company has also included an image of a rectangular object with a quick charging animation — this suggests that Motorola's yet-to-be-announced handset could offer support for fast wired charging or wireless charging. The third object shown in the teaser appears to be a smartphone camera lens, but it is currently unclear which camera the company is referring to. The company previously teased a smartphone with a curved display in a short video posted to X. The handset is shown with round edges on left and right sides of the screen. The rear panel is also briefly shown, with the Motorola "batwing" logo shown in a small depression on the back of the phone. The video also confirms that a Motorola Edge series phone will be launched soon. Earlier this week, Motorola announced via a press release that it would hold a launch event on April 3 and teased the "fusion of art and intelligence". While the company hasn't announced any details of the smartphone(s) that will be launched at the event, the teaser contains the same words (intelligence and art) as the teasers being shared on X. With its next launch event fast approaching, we can speculate that Motorola plans to launch the Moto Edge 50 series in India, and the smartphone being teased by the firm could be the Motorola Edge 50 Fusion or the Edge 50 Pro. Considering the mid-range Snapdragon chipset teased by the company, the former could make its debut in the coming days — we can expect to hear more details about Motorola's next handset in the coming days.

https://techxplore.com/news/2024-03-cozy-game-players.html The COVID pandemic transformed our lives in ways many of us are still experiencing, four years later. One of these changes was the significant uptake in gaming as a hobby, chief among them being "cozy games" like Animal Crossing: New Horizons (2020). Players sought comfort in these wholesome virtual worlds, many of which allowed them to socialize from the safety of their homes. Cozy games, with their comforting atmospheres, absence of winning or losing, simple gameplay, and often heartwarming storylines provided a perfect entry point for a new hobby. They also offered predictability and certainty at a time when there wasn't much to go around. Cozy games are often made by small, independent developers. "Indie games" have long been evangelized as the purest form of game development—something anyone can do, given enough perseverance. This means they can provide an entry point for creators who hadn't made games before, but were nevertheless interested in it, enabling a new array of diverse voices and stories to be heard. In May 2020, near the start of the pandemic, the small poetry game A Solitary Spacecraft, which was about its developer's experience of their first few months in lockdown, was lauded as particularly poignant. Such games showcase a potential angle for effective cozy game development: a personal one. Personal themes are often explored through cozy games. For instance, Chicory and Venba (both released in 2023) tackle difficult topics like depression and immigration, despite their gorgeous aesthetics. This showcases the diversity of experiences on display within the medium. However, as the world emerges from the pandemic's shadow, the games industry is facing significant challenges. Economic downturns and acquisitions have caused large layoffs across the sector. Historically, restructurings like these, or discontent with working conditions, have led talented laid-off developers to create their own companies and explore indie development. In the wake of the pandemic and the cozy game boom, these developers may have more personal stories to tell. Making my own cozy game I developed my own cozy and personal game during the pandemic and quickly discovered that creating these games in a post-lockdown landscape is no mean feat. What We Take With Us (2023) merges reality and gameplay across various digital formats: a website, a Discord server that housed an online alternate reality game and a physical escape room. I created the game during the pandemic as a way to reflect on my journey through it, told through the videos of game character Ana Kirlitz. Players would follow in Ana's footsteps by completing a series of 10 tasks in their real-world space, all centered on improving well-being—something I and many others desperately needed during the pandemic. The trailer for my game, What We Take With Us. But creating What We Take With Us was far from straightforward. There were pandemic hurdles like creating a physical space for an escape room amid social distancing guidelines. And, of course, the emotional difficulties of wrestling with my pandemic journey through the game's narrative. The release fared poorly, and the game only garnered a small player base—a problem emblematic of the modern games industry. These struggles were starkly contrasted by the feedback I received from players who played the game, however. This is a crucial lesson for indie developers: the creator's journey and the player's experience are often worlds apart. Cozy, personal games, as I discovered, can change the lives of those who play them, no matter how few they reach. They can fundamentally change the way we think about games, allow us to reconnect with old friends, or even inspire us to change careers—all real player stories. Lessons in cozy game development I learned so much about how cozy game development can be made more sustainable for creators navigating the precarious post-lockdown landscape. This is my advice for other creators. First, collaboration is key. Even though many cozy or personal games (like Stardew Valley) are made by solo creators, having a team can help share the often emotional load. Making games can be taxing, so practicing self-care and establishing team-wide support protocols is crucial. Share your successes and failures with other developers and players. Fostering a supportive community is key to success in the indie game landscape. Second, remember that your game, however personal, is a product—not a reflection of you or your team. Making this distinction will help you manage expectations and cope with feedback. Third, while deeply considering your audience may seem antithetical to personal projects, your game will ultimately be played by others. Understanding them will help you make better games. The pandemic reignited the interest in cozy games, but subsequent industry-wide troubles may change games, and the way we make them, forever. Understanding how we make game creation more sustainable in a post-lockdown, post-layoff world is critical for developers and players alike. For developers, it's a reminder that their stories, no matter how harrowing, can still meaningfully connect with people. For players, it's an invitation to embrace the potential for games to tell such stories, fostering empathy and understanding in a world that greatly needs it.

https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/manufacturing/asml-delivers-3rd-generation-euv-chipmaking-tool-for-2nm-and-beyond This week, ASML delivered its 3rd Generation extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography tool, the Twinscan NXE:3800E, with a projection lens featuring a 0.33 numerical aperture. The system significantly increases performance compared to the existing Twinscan NXE:3600D machine. It is designed for fabricating chips at leading-edge technologies, including 3nm, 2nm, and small nodes in the next few years. The ASML Twinscan NXE:3800E represents a leap forward in Low-NA EUV lithography regarding performance (the number of wafers processed per hour) and matched machined overlay. The new system can process over 195 wafers per hour at a 30 mJ/cm^2 dose and promises a further increase in performance to 220 wph with a throughput upgrade. In addition, the new tool offers a less than 1.1 nm-matched machine overlay (wafer alignment accuracy). "Chipmakers have a need for speed," ASML revealed in a statement published on X. "The first Twinscan NXE:3800E is now being installed in a chip fab. With its new wafer stages, the system will deliver leading edge productivity for printing advanced chips. We are pushing lithography to new limits." Increased throughput will increase the economic efficiency of the Twinscan NXE:3800E machine when producing chips on 4nm/5nm and 3nm-class process technologies for logic makers. The improved performance of ASML's Twinscan NXE:3800E is expected to significantly mitigate one of the primary drawbacks of EUV technology, which is its relatively low performance, thereby enabling more efficient and cost-effective chip production. This will make process technologies that rely on EUV more accessible to chip designers with budgets that are not as vast as those of Apple, AMD, Intel, Nvidia, and Qualcomm. Also, the tool will be crucial for memory makers such as Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix. In addition, the Twinscan NXE:3800E's enhanced performance will be particularly useful for making chips on 2nm and subsequent classes of fabrication technologies that will need EUV double patterning. Improvements in the matched machine overlay will benefit sub-3nm-class production nodes. However, the sophistication and capabilities of machines like the NXE:3800E come at a substantial cost, with a price tag of around $180 million each. Such high costs mean it takes some time to depreciate the costs of these lithography tools. However, for ASML's clientele, which comprises a select group of significant logic and memory fabrication companies, the NXE:3800E offers a path to bolster their production capabilities of cutting-edge chips. This is crucial for these companies as they strive to meet the growing global demand for semiconductors, expand their production capacities, and manage the economics of chip manufacturing. Introducing more advanced and efficient EUV scanners like the NXE:3800E is critical to achieving these objectives. Looking ahead, ASML is not resting on its laurels, with plans for further innovation in the form of the Twinscan NXE:4000F, another generation of Low-NA EUV scanner, slated for release around 2026. This ongoing development underscores ASML's commitment to advancing Low-NA EUV manufacturing technology despite the looming adoption of High-NA litho tools.

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-68509239 Former Prime Minister Theresa May has announced she will stand down as an MP at the next general election. Mrs May, who led the country from 2016 to 2019 in the wake of the vote for Brexit, has represented Maidenhead in Berkshire for 27 years. She said the "difficult decision" to leave the seat would enable her to spend more time on "causes close to my heart". She is one of 64 MPs elected as Conservatives set to quit Parliament. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who got his first government job as a junior minister during her tenure in Downing Street, called her a "relentless campaigner" who had been "fiercely loyal" to Maidenhead. He added that she "defines what it means to be a public servant". Her predecessor Lord Cameron called her "a brilliant public servant" who could "hold her head high", and said she had done much to "modernise the Conservative Party and promote women in public life". Mrs May, 67, has represented the safe Tory seat of Maidenhead since 1997, and was re-elected at the last election with a 18,846 majority. As a shadow minister, she pushed for the Conservatives to field more women in winnable seats, and courted controversy by warning party activists that some people saw them as "the nasty party". She entered government after the 2010 election, when Lord Cameron made her home secretary in the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition government. During her six-year stint at the Home Office, she was a chief architect of the government's "hostile environment" policy for illegal immigrants, which she later admitted had led to some people being caught up in the Windrush scandal. The vote for Brexit then propelled her into Downing Street in July 2016, following Lord Cameron's decision to resign, and would become the issue that defined her own premiership. The former Remainer brought several leading Leavers into her government, including Boris Johnson, whom she made her foreign secretary, but she failed to overcome opposition within her party towards her vision for Brexit. Election gamble She called a surprise snap election in 2017 in a bid to strengthen her hand in the negotiations, but it went disastrously wrong, with the Conservatives losing their majority in the House of Commons. A deal with Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party saw her remain in No 10, but her authority within her own party was fatally undermined. She famously suffered several setbacks during her speech at that year's Conservative party conference, when she struggled with a coughing fit, was presented with a P45 by a protester, and letters fell off the wall behind her as she spoke. She hit the headlines at the following year's conference by arriving on stage with a robot-style dance set to Abba's Dancing Queen, a response to critics who saw her leadership style as wooden and had dubbed her the "Maybot". She struck a Brexit withdrawal deal with EU countries, but it angered pro-Leave MPs in her party, leading to a confidence vote against her in late 2018, which she survived. However, she repeatedly failed to win support for her deal in Parliament and announced her resignation just five months later, in a tearful speech in Downing Street. She remained a backbench MP, becoming an increasingly vocal critic of her successor Mr Johnson, before he left Downing Street in 2022 following a mass revolt by ministers over his leadership. Tory peer Lord Barwell, who served as Mrs May's Downing Street chief of staff after he lost his Commons seat in 2017, said Mrs May would be missed by Parliament and her constituents. He said he hoped future PMs would "follow her example" by remaining in Parliament after leaving No 10, adding she had made a "number of important contributions" as a backbencher. Damian Green, a key political ally who served as her de facto deputy prime minister, said she had set a "great example of how to be an ex-prime minister". "She uses the Commons to promote what she wants to promote, she's not over-interfering but is talking sense," he added. Theresa May delivers her resignation speech Mrs May's announcement brings to 95 the total number of MPs who say they will be standing down at the next election. The list includes former ministers Matt Hancock, Dominic Raab, Ben Wallace, Sajid Javid, Kwasi Kwarteng and Chris Grayling. This is already more than the 74 MPs who stood down ahead of the last election in 2019, and the 31 who quit in the run-up to the snap election in 2017. But it is broadly in line with the 90 who stood down in 2015, while 149 quit before the 2010 election that followed the expenses scandal and saw Labour ejected from power after 13 years. In a statement announcing her resignation in her local paper, the Maidenhead Advertiser, Mrs May said she had enjoyed championing caused "close to my heart," including launching a commission on tackling modern slavery. "These causes have been taking an increasing amount of my time. "Because of this, after much careful thought and consideration, I have realised that, looking ahead, I would no longer be able to do my job as an MP in the way I believe is right and my constituents deserve. Anneliese Dodds, the shadow secretary of state for women and equalities, said Mrs May's decision was further evidence of a lack of confidence in Mr Sunak. "I think this really strengthens those calls for change, those calls for a general election," she said.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68486061 A gray whale was spotted off the coast of New England last week, marking a rare sighting for a species that has been locally extinct in Atlantic waters for centuries. It was spotted by a team of scientists with the New England Aquarium. The whale was seen repeatedly diving and resurfacing, apparently searching for food, the aquarium said. Scientists who spotted the animal say they were in disbelief over the sighting. "I didn't want to say out loud what it was, because it seemed crazy," said Orla O'Brien, an associate research scientist at the aquarium who was part of the aerial survey team that saw the marine mammal on 1 March. The whale was spotted 30 miles (48km) south of Nantucket, Massachusetts. Ms O'Brien took photos of it, which she showed to research technician Kate Laemmle, who was also on the plane. "My brain was trying to process what I was seeing, because this animal was something that should not really exist in these waters," said Ms Laemmle. According to the New England Aquarium, gray whales are easy to spot due to their lack of a dorsal fin, as well as their mottled grey and white skin. While they are a common sighting in the North Pacific Ocean, these whales are locally extinct in Atlantic waters, where they have not been spotted since the 18th Century. But in the last 15 years, there have been five documented observations of gray whales in Atlantic and Mediterranean waters. Scientists say the reasons behind these sightings are tied to climate change. Rising global temperatures has meant that the Northwest Passage - which connects the Atlantic and Pacific through Arctic waters - has been ice-free during the summer. This has meant gray whales have been able to travel between the oceans more freely than in previous centuries. "These sightings of gray whales in the Atlantic serve as a reminder of how quickly marine species respond to climate change, given the chance," said Ms O'Brien. This particular whale may have been in Atlantic waters for a few months, the scientists say, as they believe it has been spotted before off the coast of Florida in December. Other recent unusual gray whale sightings include one off the coast of Namibia in 2015. Four years before that, another was spotted off the coast of Israel. Researchers at the time similarly linked the rare sightings to warming ocean waters. "I don't expect that we'll see a brand new po[CENSORED]tion of gray whales in the Atlantic anytime in the very near future," Liz Alter, a biology professor at the California State University in Monterey Bay, told New York Public Radio in 2015.

https://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/new-bikes/2024/march/husqvarna-svartpilen-801-prototype/ Following two social media teasers and countless spy shot photographs, Husqvarna have finally confirmed that a larger, parallel-twin Svartpilen 801 naked bike is on the way for 2024. There is not long to wait with the production model due to be shown to the world on Tuesday, March 19, and the firm previously hinting at its existence in two videos, which showed a prototype twin tackling both a flattrack oval and a frozen lake, complete with studded tyres. The new model was officially confirmed by the brand on March 5, alongside a handful of details on the machine as well as these dynamic photographs. In addition, MCN grabbed an advanced sneak peek at the bike during the recent Svartpilen 401 and Vitpilen 401 press launch in Malaga. Husqvarna Svartpilen 801 prototype parked on a flattrack oval “The all-new middleweight model has been engineered to deliver a powerful combination of performance, agility and contemporary style to take riding to even greater heights,” says a statement from the company. “The versatility of the Svartpilen 801 is enhanced further by state-of-the-art electronic rider aids, including Easy Shift [an up/down quickshifter] for seamless gear changes, as standard.” According to Husqvarna, the 801 will weigh a reasonable 181kg, however it’s unclear whether this figure includes fluids such as fuel. What’s more the bike is reported to produce around 103.6bhp, which is just a fraction more than the KTM 790 Duke’s claimed 103.3bhp. Husqvarna Svartpilen 801 prototype with spiked tyres The reason for this comparison is that the 801 is likely based on the Duke, with both operations belonging to the larger Pierer Mobility Group. The duo are no strangers to swapping hardware between bikes, with the smaller A2 compliant Svartpilen and Vitpilen 401 machines using the frame and engine from the KTM 390 Duke. Following Husqvarna’s previous naming convention it stands to reason that it’s the 790’s twin cylinder lump lurking beneath – housed in the same overall steel frame using the engine as stressed member. The same lattice style blacked-out swingarm also looks to be in place, however the subframe appears slightly different, to help achieve that flattrack stance. Away from the chassis, Husky state that there will be an advanced electronics package, alongside adjustable WP Apex suspension – a given with WP also belonging to the wider Pierer collective. Husqvarna Svartpilen 801 prototype sliding on dirt It’s likely this electronics package will include a ‘supermoto mode’, which allows the rider to disconnect the rear intervention in order to perform skids. The bike is shown in the teaser films doing just that, with the technology also installed on the existing 790 Duke. Elsewhere, there appears to be a TFT dash and USB charging port, as well as Husqvarna’s trademark rounded LED headlight. Likely to be an affordable engaging middleweight, the bike will be started using a standard key rather than keyless ignition and features a tiny flyscreen shrouding the rear of the clocks.

https://www.bbc.com/sport/rugby-union/68495361 Scotland face Italy in their penultimate Six Nations match at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on Saturday. Gregor Townsend's side have an outside chance of pipping Ireland to the title but finishing second for the first time in the Six Nations appears to be a more realistic target. Duhan van der Merwe scored a hat-trick of tries as Scotland beat England two weeks ago to retain the Calcutta Cup. The winger needs one try to match Stuart Hogg's Scotland record of 27. His overall total of five tries from three games makes him the top scorer in this year's Championship. Paolo Garbisi's last-gasp penalty miss a fortnight ago meant Italy were denied a first Six Nations victory away to France, with the Azzurri having to settle for a 13-13 draw. The result was not enough to move them off the bottom of the Six Nations table but did halt a run of seven consecutive defeats in the championship. Redpath, Horne and Christie start for Scotland against Italy 'Scotland will be wary of galvanised Italy' - Johnnie Beattie's column Ireland lead the Six Nations with three bonus-point wins, Scotland are second, England third, France fourth and Wales are fifth on points difference from Italy in sixth Team news Italy: There are three changes for the Azzurri, including a debut for wing Louis Lynagh, the son of Australia great Michael Lynagh. His inclusion means Tommaso Menoncello moves back to centre, with Federico Mori dropping to the bench. Flanker Sebastian Negri returns after missing two games through injury, replacing Riccardo Favretto, and prop Simone Ferrari comes in for Giosue Zilocchi, who is among the replacements. Scotland: The visitors also makes three changes, including a first Six Nations start for George Horne, who comes in for first-choice scrum-half Ben White, who is rested. Sione Tuipulotu will miss the rest of the tournament with a knee injury, so Cameron Redpath deputises at inside centre, while flanker Andy Christie earns his first Test start in place of Jamie Ritchie, who is a replacement. How to follow the Six Nations on TV, radio & digital platforms Commentator's notes Sara Orchard: Scotland are favourites and should have enough experience to stop this game being turned into a banana-skin fixture. All the hype is about the wings. From a Scottish perspective, Duhan van der Merwe is now one try away from equalling Stuart Hogg's Scotland Test record. It's now 'when' not 'if' he will break it. For the Italians, the headlines focus on Louis Lynagh. Come 14:15 GMT on Saturday he's officially Italian, having had three passports (England, Australia and Italy) to choose from. While Lynagh's inclusion has created waves, the return to action of hulking back-rower Sebastian Negri will calm and assure Italian fans. View from both camps Italy head coach Gonzalo Quesada on debutant Louis Lynagh: "He will be up against a great player [Scotland wing Van der Merwe] but he plays and defends well, he's a good communicator and we're staying true to our philosophy of giving young players their chance." Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend: "In terms of performance, we're a little bit away from what we know we can deliver. The first 45 minutes against Wales is probably still the best we've played. "We had elements of control throughout much of the France game and for the last 60 minutes of the England game. But there's still a lot more to come from us." Line-ups Italy: 15-Ange Capuozzo, 14-Louis Lynagh, 13-Ignacio Brex, 12-Tommaso Menoncello, 11-Monty Ioane, 10-Paolo Garbisi, 9-Martin Page-Relo; 1-Danilo Fischetti, 2-Giacomo Nicotera, 3-Simone Ferrari, 4-Niccolo Cannone, 5-Federico Ruzza, 6-Sebastian Negri, 7-Michele Lamaro (captain), 8-Ross Vintcent. Replacements: 16-Gianmarco Lucchesi, 17-Mirco Spagnolo, 18-Giosue Zilocchi, 19-Andrea Zambonin, 20-Lorenzo Cannone, 21-Stephen Varney, 22-Leonardo Marin, 23-Federico Mori. Scotland: 15-Blair Kinghorn, 14-Kyle Steyn, 13-Huw Jones, 12- Cameron Redpath, 11-Duhan van der Merwe, 10-Finn Russell (co-captain), 9-George Horne; 1-Pierre Schoeman, 2-George Turner, 3-Zander Fagerson, 4-Grant Gilchrist, 5-Scott Cummings, 6-Andy Christie, 7-Rory Darge (co-captain), 8-Jack Dempsey. Replacements: 16-Ewan Ashman, 17-Alec Hepburn, 18-Elliot Millar-Mills, 19-Sam Skinner, 20-Jamie Ritchie, 21-Matt Fagerson, 22-Ali Price, 23-Kyle Rowe. 46% of Italy's Six Nations points this year have come in the final 20 minutes, more than any other side. Scotland have conceded 43% of their points in the final quarter Match facts Head-to-head Scotland have won the last 13 meetings in all competitions, including eight straight victories in the Six Nations. Italy's tally of seven Six Nations wins against Scotland is their best against any side in the tournament. They have a combined total of six victories against the other four nations since 2000. Italy The draw versus France leaves Italy vying to avoid defeat in back-to-back Six Nations fixtures for the first time in 11 years (they won their final game in 2012 and opening match in 2013). The Azzurri have lost all 26 home games in the Six Nations since beating Ireland in 2013. Scotland Gregor Townsend's side have won seven of their past 10 away matches in the Six Nations, as many victories as they recorded in their previous 51 such fixtures (D1, L43). Duhan van der Merwe is one short of equalling Stuart Hogg's Scotland record of 27 tries. Scotland have averaged 2.9 points per entry to the 22 in this year's Six Nations, which is bettered only by Ireland's figure of 3.4.

https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-65174870 A British nail artist has claimed that her designs have been stolen by fast fashion giant Shein. You might've seen the headlines on some news sites - "Beauty fans go wild for £2 Shein press-on nails". And it's true, some of the Chinese-owned company's press-on nails are being sold for as little as 75p. But Manchester-based nail designer Yan Tee was shocked to find her intricate designs on the site. And she says not only have the firm copied her nail art, but they've even taken her own Instagram pictures without permission to advertise them. "I thought it was a joke until I clicked on the link," Yan tells BBC Newsbeat. "And I thought not only have they copied the design, but they've used the picture that I've taken of my clients' hands as well." A Shein spokesperson told Newsbeat it "takes all claims of infringement seriously". "Shein respects designers and artists, and the intellectual property rights of others," they said. "When legitimate complaints are raised by valid IP rights holders, Shein promptly addresses the situation, and removes the product(s) from our site as a matter of caution while we investigate." Yan has been teaching herself to paint nails since she was a teenager Yan's detailed designs have earned her almost 80,000 followers on Instagram. "I've created this design for my client based on her personal taste," the 28-year-old says. "And so to see it literally be stolen, it feels really bad." Yan paints her designs on clients' nails, natural or acrylic, herself - whereas press-on nails are plastic nails which are applied with glue. She's been teaching herself since she was a teenager working in salons, and typically charges about £40 for her designs. 'Get away with it' Yan claims that after two of her designs ended up on the site, Shein apologised and removed them both when she got in touch. But a day later, she says one of the pictures reappeared on the site. "Small artists don't have the funds to like take them to court," Yan says. "And I think a big part of it is that the copyright laws in China, where they're based, are quite flexible compared to like the UK copyright laws, so they can kind of get away with it." Another of Yan's designs, and a photo from Shein's website Yan says she understands why people would buy nails from the site, due to the low cost or not being able to visit her in Manchester. But she believes the fashion giant should've approached her to ask if they could sell the design, and then pay her. "I wouldn't be mad at the people who are buying it, because most of the people don't know it's been stolen off an artist," she says. "But then I think it's a responsibility of Shein." The price of Shein's nails are obviously far less than seeing a nail artist - but as Yan points out, it's unlikely press-on nails will last. "Press-ons will pop off after a day or so, if not an hour, [and] my clients come back to me every four to six weeks and their nails are still on. "I hand paint these designs and sat with them for at least an hour. "Shein have scanned my design on to a piece of plastic and they're selling it to someone who's going to be wearing it for like an hour or so." Shein says its "suppliers are all required to certify that their products do not infringe on third-party IP". "If a violation is confirmed, Shein takes appropriate action. We continue to invest and improve our process to detect and prevent violations," the spokesperson added.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68514467 Five people have died after a parachute failed on an aid package dropped by air into Gaza on Friday, reports say. An eyewitness and the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza said the five were killed when at least one parachute failed to deploy and a parcel fell on them, the BBC's US partner CBS reports. AFP news agency quoted a Gaza doctor as saying five people were killed. The BBC has not independently verified this. It is unclear which air drop was involved in the incident. The US, Jordan, Egypt, France, the Netherlands and Belgium have been dropping aid into Gaza in recent days as concerns about famine among the po[CENSORED]tion grow. Jordanian state TV quoted a source as denying that a Jordanian aircraft was involved in the incident. CBS News reported the incident happened at about 11:30 local time (09:30 GMT). US Central Command confirmed a joint air drop of aid into Gaza with the Royal Jordanian Air Force happened at about 13:30 local time. US Gen Patrick Ryder said its air drop was not involved in the incident, adding "we've confirmed that all of our aid bundles landed safely on the ground". The UN says a quarter of Gaza's 2.3m po[CENSORED]tion is on the brink of famine and children are starving to death. A video posted to social media on Friday and verified by BBC News shows aid dropping from a C-17 cargo plane over al-Shati, north of Gaza City, in an area largely cut off from assistance in recent months. While most of the large packages of aid fall with parachutes deployed, one fails to open and falls in a more uncontrolled way. It is difficult to say from the video, a screenshot from which is above, what may have gone wrong. We do not know if this footage captures the incident in which people were reportedly killed. Aid organisations have been critical of the air drops, saying they were a last resort and incapable of meeting the soaring need. On Friday the EU, UK, US and others said they planned to open a sea route to Gaza to deliver aid that could begin operating this weekend. The US has said it will construct a temporary harbour to ship aid directly into Gaza, but US officials have said it will take weeks to make. Western countries have pressed Israel to expand delivery of aid by road, facilitating more routes and opening additional crossings. UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron said: "We continue to urge Israel to allow more trucks into Gaza as the fastest way to get aid to those who need it." Israel denies impeding the entry of aid to Gaza and accuses aid organisations of failing to distribute it. Aid lorries have been entering the south of Gaza through the Egyptian-controlled Rafah crossing and the Israeli-controlled Kerem Shalom crossing. But the north, which was the focus of the first phase of the Israeli ground offensive, has been largely cut off from assistance in recent months. An estimated 300,000 Palestinians are living there with little food or clean water. Last week more than 100 people were killed trying to reach a ground aid convoy amid the growing desperation. Palestinians said most were shot by Israeli troops. The Israeli military, which was overseeing the private aid deliveries, on Friday said its troops did not fire at Palestinians around an aid convoy but at "suspects" nearby who they deemed a threat. Israel's military launched an air and ground campaign in Gaza after Hamas's attacks on Israel on 7 October, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 253 others were taken hostage. More than 30,800 people have been killed in Gaza since then, the territory's Hamas-run health ministry says.

https://www.gadgets360.com/mobiles/news/iphone-foldable-release-2026-tipped-thinner-lighter-than-competition-apple-report-5201140 Apple is said to be working on a host of foldable devices, with a clamshell foldable phone and a foldable tablet rumoured to be in the works. Earlier this week, a prominent Apple analyst claimed that a foldable MacBook would in fact be Apple's first product in the category, going into mass production in 2027. Now, a tipster has said that the company plans to release a foldable iPhone in 2026. According to Revegnus (@Tech_Reve), a folding iPhone would be Apple's first foldable, with the company eyeing a release window of 2026. The new information contradicts reports from last month that claimed the company had halted development on a foldable phone over display issues. The tipster, citing a report from Korean outlet AlphaBiz, said that Apple's foldable phone would release in 2026. The report allegedly quotes a senior Apple official, shedding light on the iPhone maker's plans for a folding phone. "Apple has decided to release the foldable iPhone in 2026, which is later than expected," the official was quoted saying (translated from Korean). "As it is a later release than its competitors, we know that cutting-edge technologies will be concentrated." According to the report, the Apple official said that the foldable iPhone would be thinner and lighter than the competition, with a focus on preventing crease marks on the folding screen. “"In particular, the goal is to avoid the wrinkles that competitors are struggling with,” the official was quoted as saying. While Apple has lagged behind in the foldables segment, rivals Samsung and Google already have foldable phones in the market. Samsung has released five generations of both clamshell and book-style foldable phones, while Google launched the Pixel Fold last year. The latest update contradicts reports from earlier this week that said that Apple's first foldable would be 20.3-inch foldable MacBook, which would likely enter mass production in 2027. TF Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claimed that a MacBook was Apple's only foldable product with a clear development schedule at the moment. “My latest survey indicates that currently, Apple's only foldable product with a clear development schedule is the 20.3-inch MacBook, expected to enter mass production in 2027,” Kuo said this week in a post on X. While Apple has been rumoured to be working on an unspecified large-screen foldable, alongside folding iPhone and iPad models, a report last month had said that Apple had paused development on a foldable phone over issues with the folding display.

https://techxplore.com/news/2024-03-generative-ai-software.html Generative AI is getting plenty of attention for its ability to create text and images. But those media represent only a fraction of the data that proliferate in our society today. Data are generated every time a patient goes through a medical system, a storm impacts a flight, or a person interacts with a software application. Using generative AI to create realistic synthetic data around those scenarios can help organizations more effectively treat patients, reroute planes, or improve software platforms—especially in scenarios where real-world data are limited or sensitive. For the last three years, the MIT spinout DataCebo has offered a generative software system called the Synthetic Data Vault to help organizations create synthetic data to do things like test software applications and train machine learning models. The Synthetic Data Vault, or SDV, has been downloaded more than 1 million times, with more than 10,000 data scientists using the open-source library for generating synthetic tabular data. The founders—Principal Research Scientist Kalyan Veeramachaneni and alumna Neha Patki '15, SM '16—believe the company's success is due to SDV's ability to revolutionize software testing. SDV goes viral In 2016, Veeramachaneni's group in the Data to AI Lab unveiled a suite of open-source generative AI tools to help organizations create synthetic data that matched the statistical properties of real data. Companies can use synthetic data instead of sensitive information in programs while still preserving the statistical relationships between datapoints. Companies can also use synthetic data to run new software through simulations to see how it performs before releasing it to the public. Veeramachaneni's group came across the problem because it was working with companies that wanted to share their data for research. "MIT helps you see all these different use cases," Patki explains. "You work with finance companies and health care companies, and all those projects are useful to formulate solutions across industries." In 2020, the researchers founded DataCebo to build more SDV features for larger organizations. Since then, the use cases have been as impressive as they've been varied. With DataCebo's new flight simulator, for instance, airlines can plan for rare weather events in a way that would be impossible using only historic data. In another application, SDV users synthesized medical records to predict health outcomes for patients with cystic fibrosis. A team from Norway recently used SDV to create synthetic student data to evaluate whether various admissions policies were meritocratic and free from bias. In 2021, the data science platform Kaggle hosted a competition for data scientists that used SDV to create synthetic data sets to avoid using proprietary data. Roughly 30,000 data scientists participated, building solutions and predicting outcomes based on the company's realistic data. And as DataCebo has grown, it's stayed true to its MIT roots: All of the company's current employees are MIT alumni. Supercharging software testing Although their open-source tools are being used for a variety of use cases, the company is focused on growing its traction in software testing. "You need data to test these software applications," Veeramachaneni says. "Traditionally, developers manually write scripts to create synthetic data. With generative models, created using SDV, you can learn from a sample of data collected and then sample a large volume of synthetic data (which has the same properties as real data), or create specific scenarios and edge cases, and use the data to test your application." For example, if a bank wanted to test a program designed to reject transfers from accounts with no money in them, it would have to simulate many accounts simultaneously transacting. Doing that with data created manually would take a lot of time. With DataCebo's generative models, customers can create any edge case they want to test. "It's common for industries to have data that is sensitive in some capacity," Patki says. "Often when you're in a domain with sensitive data you're dealing with regulations, and even if there aren't legal regulations, it's in companies' best interest to be diligent about who gets access to what at which time. So, synthetic data is always better from a privacy perspective." Scaling synthetic data Veeramachaneni believes DataCebo is advancing the field of what it calls synthetic enterprise data, or data generated from user behavior on large companies' software applications. "Enterprise data of this kind is complex, and there is no universal availability of it, unlike language data," Veeramachaneni says. "When folks use our publicly available software and report back if works on a certain pattern, we learn a lot of these unique patterns, and it allows us to improve our algorithms. From one perspective, we are building a corpus of these complex patterns, which for language and images is readily available. " DataCebo also recently released features to improve SDV's usefulness, including tools to assess the "realism" of the generated data, called the SDMetrics library as well as a way to compare models' performances called SDGym. "It's about ensuring organizations trust this new data," Veeramachaneni says. "[Our tools offer] programmable synthetic data, which means we allow enterprises to insert their specific insight and intuition to build more transparent models." As companies in every industry rush to adopt AI and other data science tools, DataCebo is ultimately helping them do so in a way that is more transparent and responsible. "In the next few years, synthetic data from generative models will transform all data work," Veeramachaneni says. "We believe 90% of enterprise operations can be done with synthetic data."

https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/tsmc-will-receive-dollar5-billion-incentive-from-us-for-arizona-fab-report TSMC is poised to receive a federal incentive exceeding $5 billion for its site in Arizona, according to a Bloomberg report that cites sources familiar with the matter. The U.S. government is not yet ready to announce the incentive because it has to be finalized with the world's largest contract maker of chips, but the sum looks very significant. It is unclear whether TSMC—which produces chips for AMD, Apple, Intel, Nvidia, and Qualcomm—will receive $5 billion in grants or whether the sum includes grants, loans, and/or loan guarantees. Also, it is unclear whether it will use loans and loan guarantees to build and expand its site near Phoenix, Arizona, or will rather invest its own money. If the information about $5 billion incentives for TSMC is accurate, then it is highly likely that the report about Intel's award package of around $10 billion is probably also accurate. Also consider the fact that Intel's projects in the U.S. are far more ambitious and costly than TSMC's. For example, Intel is building a brand-new site in Ohio, which is set to cost over $100 billion. TSMC's project in Arizona involves an investment of $40 billion to construct two semiconductor fabrication facilities. For the world's No. 1 foundry, this is a way to diversify its geographical footprint and remain adaptable to the trend of onshoring semiconductor manufacturing. However, TSMC's Arizona project has faced multiple setbacks. TSMC commenced construction of its first new U.S. fab in early 2021, with the aim to start production at the facility in 2024. However, due to a reported shortage of skilled workers in the state, TSMC had to delay the installation of some fab tools and, therefore, push back the production start of the fab to 2025. The production facility — called Fab 21 phase 1 — will use TSMC's 5nm-class process technologies, including N5, N5P, N4, N4P, and N4X. In addition to Fab 21 phase 1, TSMC also announced its Fab 21 phase 2 in late 2022. That fab was meant to produce chips on its 3nm-class production process, which includes N3, N3E, N3P, and N3X. While the fab shell is still under construction, installation of equipment for Fab 21 phase 2 was postponed earlier this year because of a lack of U.S. subsidies and demand uncertainties. Consequently, Fab 21 phase 2, which was expected to come online in 2025, is now anticipated to begin operations sometime in 2027 or 2028, a considerable deviation from the original schedule. It remains to be seen whether the incentive package will affect TSMC's plans for Fab 21 phase 2.
