    England coach Brendon McCullum on Test Match Special: “I think ultimately, everyone wants this England side to be successful.

    “There’s just different styles that you’ll operate with that some people will like, some people won’t like. You can’t worry about that, you can’t change your game because of what people think.

    “You have to have a belief in what you want and use the resources around you to keep performing. We live and die by our results but being hung up on that isn’t helpful when you’re at the crease. It’s removing that from the picture and thinking about what you’re doing. How am I going to manipulate this situation and bring my team success. That’s what we try to do.

    “We’re as determined and as competitive as everyone else, we want success for our team. We take it as a given that we’re competitive, we take it as a given that we want to win. We focus on the process as what we’re trying to achieve and get these guys to make decisions to give us the greatest chance to succeed.

    “I’m married to an Australian so I know how competitive they are. It’s time to get it on when it comes to the Ashes. We’ve been very deliberate that when it comes to Test cricket, we’ve focused on the job at hand.

    “For us now, the next series is the Ashes. Bring it on, it’s going to be great, the hype, the intensity. Our boys are ready to embrace and enjoy what comes with it. That includes the pressure and the scrutiny.”

    Sophia Culpo says sister Olivia’s firstborn is a mini Christian McCaffrey

    Sophia Culpo thinks sister Olivia’s baby is Christian McCaffrey’s lookalike

    Sophia Culpo believes her sister Olivia Culpo’s firstborn has an uncanny resemblance to the new dad, Christian McCaffrey.

    Sophia, 28, was at the House of Champion event during New York Fashion Week on September 11 when she recalled seeing McCaffrey’s childhood photo.

    “I just sent a picture in my family group chat because Christian came on my timeline, and she’s his twin. I literally thought it was her. They’re like twins,” the Culpo sisters star told People Magazine.

    “They’re clones,” she said with a chuckle, before joking that while Olivia carried Colette for nine months, the resemblance may shift as the baby grows.

    The proud aunt also shared an update on Olivia, 33, and Colette’s well-being. “I miss her so much. I haven’t seen her in a week, and she’s changing every day,” Sophia said.

    This isn’t the first time Sophia has gushed about her newborn niece. In July, shortly after the newborn’s arrival, she told the magazine, “She’s just a great baby and so sweet. Newborn bubble is just like, oh my God, I just wish I could smell her right now.”

    Olivia and Christian announced Colette’s birth via a joint Instagram post on July 13.

  • Anne Hathaway’s lookalike revealed to be her real-life cousin through family tree

    Anne Hathaway’s lookalike revealed to be her real-life cousin through family tree

    A woman has revealed that her mother is cousins with Hollywood actress Anne Hathaway after tracing her adoption records and family tree.

    The woman, who posts online under the name Halo, shared the surprising discovery on X, saying her family had long joked that her mother looked strikingly similar to Hathaway. Her mother, who was adopted as an infant, later found her biological parents and uncovered that the Oscar-winning star was in fact part of their extended family.

    Halo wrote: “My mama was adopted as an infant and we had a running joke her whole life that Anne was her long-lost sister because of the physical resemblance being uncanny. Last year my mom found her birth parents, only to discover she’s our cousin.”

    Alongside her post, Halo shared an old photo of her mother, with many online users commenting on how much she resembled the Devil Wears Prada and Les Misérables actress. The post quickly went viral, with users calling the resemblance “uncanny” and “crazy.”

    While some social media users accused her of making up the story, Halo defended her claim, saying the family’s discovery came directly from official records. She called Hathaway “the coolest possible person in the entire world to be related to” and said she felt lucky about the connection.

    Hathaway, who has not publicly commented on the story, continues to be one of Hollywood’s most recognizable stars. For Halo and her family, the discovery adds an unexpected chapter to their own history, turning a family joke into a real-life celebrity connection.

  • 245 boulder trails reveal lunar surface is not still

    245 boulder trails reveal lunar surface is not still

    For decades, scientists have considered the moon a dead world—a silent, unchanging landscape where nothing stirs. However, a new study has challenged this idea. For the first time, researchers have mapped and dated fresh boulder falls across the moon, showing that its surface is more active than previously imagined. 

    These boulders, ranging in size from several meters to hundreds of meters and weighing up to a few tons, occasionally tumble down cliffs and crater walls, leaving bright tracks of disturbed lunar dust behind. 

    “For a long time, there was this belief that the moon is geologically dead. Our study shows that boulders with sizes ranging (from) tens to hundreds of meters and (with) weights in tons have moved from their places over time,” Sivaprahasam Vijayan, lead researcher and an associate professor at the Physical Research Laboratory in Ahmedabad, India, told EOS. 

    This discovery not only changes our understanding of lunar geology but could also guide future missions to regions where the moon’s surface is still active.

    Tracking the moon’s rolling stones

    Finding recent boulder falls on the moon has been a long-standing challenge. Traditional studies had mapped boulder tracks but could not reliably tell which ones were new, because older tracks gradually fade due to space weathering. 

    The recent breakthrough came from looking for boulder fall ejecta (BFE), the fresh lunar material scooped up and deposited along a boulder’s path. These ejecta patterns appear brighter than the surrounding surface, forming streaks along the track that make it possible to distinguish new movements from old.

    To identify these tracks, the researchers manually analyzed thousands of images of the moon’s surface between 40° north and 40° south latitude, where sunlight makes the bright trails visible. They then studied high-resolution images from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter taken between 2009 and 2022 to confirm the movement and the presence of ejecta along the paths.

    In total, they found 245 fresh boulder tracks covering around 373 kilometers. About 46 percent were on the moon’s Mare regions, and 54 percent in the Highlands, with 62 percent of locations hosting multiple tracks, suggesting these areas experience repeated boulder falls.

    The team estimated the age of these tracks by comparing them with nearby craters whose ages are known from their ejecta blankets, a method long used in lunar studies. Many of these craters are around 400,000 years old, meaning the boulder tracks on their slopes are much younger. 

    Some tracks were also observed near the Apollo 17 landing site and areas associated with seismic activity or tectonic features, indicating that moonquakes or impacts may trigger the boulder falls.

    The importance of understanding lunar surface movement

    This research shows that the moon is not geologically dead but sporadically active, with multiple processes, including seismic activity, impacts, and thermal stress, causing surface changes. 

    The mapped hotspots of recent boulder activity could become prime landing sites for future missions aiming to study the moon’s ongoing surface and subsurface processes. This is because understanding boulder movement also helps assess surface stability, which is crucial for planning habitats, rovers, or even future mining operations. 

    However, the study has limitations. Detecting smaller boulder movements is still difficult, and lighting conditions can affect the visibility of ejecta patterns. While likely triggers were identified, confirming the exact cause of each boulder fall requires on-site measurements. 

    The researchers now plan to refine their maps further and hope future lunar missions will directly study these active sites. 

    The study has been published in the journal Icarus.

  • Pakistan calls for Arab-Islamic task force to counter Israeli expansionism

    Pakistan calls for Arab-Islamic task force to counter Israeli expansionism


    ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Sunday announced waiving power bills of flood-affected households for the month of August as the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has predicted fresh rains in the northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province between Sept. 15 and Sept. 19.


    Rains, floods, land and mudslides have claimed 985 lives nationwide since late June, according to the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA). The deluges have raised fears of a repeat of 2022 cataclysmic floods that killed more than 1,700 people and damaged crops, roads, bridges and rail infrastructure worth over $30 billion.


    Citing the PMD on Sunday, the KP Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) predicted fresh rains in the province between Sept. 15 and Sept. 19, requesting authorities to take all precautionary measures in order to minimize human and livestock losses and damage to infrastructure.


    “As you know, due to the recent heavy rains and landslides, there has been a lot of destruction in different parts of Pakistan,” PM Sharif said in televised comments on Sunday evening.


    “In this context, I have taken the final decision that the electricity bills of all household electricity consumers in the flood-affected areas for one month, i.e. August, are being waived off, and thus, household consumers will no longer have to pay the bills for August.”


    The prime minister said he understood the difficulties of flood-affected people and the federal government will pay the electricity bills for the month from its own resources.


    “Household consumers who have paid their August bills will have the amount refunded in the next month’s electricity bills and clear instructions have been issued in this regard,” he added.


    Similarly, an estimate of the losses of electricity consumers in the agricultural, commercial and other sectors in affected areas is being made, according to the prime minister. Therefore, the collection of their electricity bills for the month of August is being delayed and postponed.


    “If the estimate of the losses of these consumers turns out to be higher, further steps will be taken to provide them with more relief,” he said.


    “I once again reiterate my commitment to the complete rehabilitation of the flood-affected areas and assure you that we will not rest until every flood-affected person is resettled in their home.”


    FRESH RAIN FORECAST


    The development came shortly after the KP PDMA said more rains, thunderstorms were expected in Dir, Chitral, Swat, Kohistan, Kolai Pallas, Shangla, Battagram, Mansehra, Abbottabad, Haripur, Buner, Malakand, Bajaur, Mohmand, Kohat, Peshawar, Charsadda, Nowshera, Mardan, Swabi, Khyber, Orakzai, Kurram, Hangu, Karak North and South Waziristan districts of the province.


    “Heavy falls/windstorm and lightning may damage weak structures like roof/wall of Kacha houses, electric poles, billboards, vehicles and solar panels etc., during the forecast period,” it said in an advisory on Sunday evening.


    “It is therefore requested to kindly take all precautionary measures in order to avoid/minimize human losses and/or any damages to infrastructure and livestock.”


    The latest rain forecast has raised fears of renewed floods in Punjab where heavy rains and India’s release of excess water have swelled Ravi, Chenab and Sutlej rivers since late Aug., killing 104 people, affecting another 4.5 million and inundating more than 4,700 villages in the breadbasket province.


    On Sunday, the Punjab PDMA said the M5 Multan-Sukkur Motorway has been closed for all types of traffic at Jalalpur Pirwala.


    “There is a risk of breaching the motorway due to road erosion by flood water,” PDMA DG Irfan Ali Kathia said. “The Punjab PDMA and NHA [National Highway Authority] and the concerned administration are taking steps to save the motorway.”


    HIGH INFLOWS IN SINDH


    The southern Sindh province remains wary of high flows in the Indus river as the floodwaters rush downstream from Punjab.


    Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon said the provincial government is keeping a close watch on the water levels at the province’s barrages, saying authorities were carrying out relief and rescue operations there.


    “There is a high-level flood at Guddu Barrage and a medium-level flood at Sukkur Barrage,” Memon was quoted as saying by the provincial information ministry.


    Guddu and Sukkur barrages are the two main structures that channel water into central and southern Sindh.


    Memon said the upstream flow of water at Guddu Barrage has been recorded at 612,269 cusecs and the downstream flow at 582,942 cusecs. The barrage is designed to hold up to 1.1 million cusecs of water.


    At Sukkur Barrage, the upstream flow has been recorded at 488,820 cusecs and the downstream flow at 438,390 cusecs, the minister added.


    The total number of people relocated to safer areas in Sindh has reached 163,364, and the provincial government has set up 177 fixed and mobile health sites, where 84,118 patients have so far been provided medical facilities, according to Memon. The number of livestock relocated to safer areas has reached 438,835.


    US DELIVERS FLOOD AID TO PAKISTAN


    Meanwhile, the United States (US) embassy in Islamabad voiced Washington’s support for the people of Pakistan whose lives have been uprooted by widespread, catastrophic flooding.


    “The US Department of State is delivering food, shelter, and other forms of lifesaving disaster relief to impacted communities. In addition, the US military delivered essential supplies to the Pakistan Army, which arrived at Nur Khan Air Base,” it said in a statement.


    “US Mission to Pakistan Chargé d’Affaires Natalie A. Baker was on site as the first C-17 and C-130 aircrafts arrived and unloaded this equipment. She extended her deepest condolences to the people of Pakistan.”


    The Chargé d’Affaires said they were profoundly saddened by the loss of life and destruction of homes and livelihoods, according to the statement.


    “In response to a request from the Government of Pakistan, the Department of State and the US military approved foreign assistance funding and critical supplies and equipment to augment national response efforts in the most affected areas,” Baker was quoted as saying. 


    On Saturday, a top International Monetary Fund (IMF) official in Pakistan also said his organization is assessing damages caused by the deluges and will use its next review mission to evaluate appropriate policy responses to support affected people and strengthen national resilience.


    “We extend our heartfelt condolences to the people of Pakistan as they endure the devastating floods,” said Mahir Binici, Resident Representative of the IMF in Pakistan. “We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of life.”


    “An assessment of the flood damage caused by torrential monsoon rains is still ongoing, as the situation continues to evolve,” he continued.


    “The upcoming EFF [Extended Funds Facility] review mission provides an opportunity to discuss the appropriate policy response to support flood-affected populations and protect the most vulnerable.”


    Binici also noted that both the EFF and the IMF’s Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF) provide frameworks crucial for external and financial stability amid these natural calamities.


    The RSF, approved in May, offers Pakistan around $1.4 billion to help build economic resilience against climate vulnerabilities and disasters, though its disbursement depends on successful reviews under the S7 billion EFF secured last year.

    The global landscape for breast cancer antibody drug conjugates is entering a pivotal growth phase as developers leverage smarter targeting, improved linkers, and highly potent payloads to extend benefit across HER2 positive HER2 low and triple negative disease segments. Antibody drug conjugates unite the specificity of monoclonal antibodies with the cell killing power of cytotoxic payloads, creating a guided delivery system that can outperform conventional chemotherapy while limiting collateral damage to healthy tissue. Their expanding role in metastatic settings and the push into earlier lines of therapy are reshaping clinical practice and investment priorities worldwide.

    Clinical momentum has been driven by proof that the right target antibody and linker payload chemistry can overcome resistance mechanisms that limit traditional biologics. Trastuzumab deruxtecan has reset expectations by delivering strong activity in HER2 low populations and sacituzumab govitecan has provided an important option for patients with triple negative breast cancer. Building on these milestones, sponsors are advancing candidates against additional antigens including HER3 and LIV1 and refining drug to antibody ratios and cleavable linkers to tune therapeutic index. These advances matter for breast tumors that are heterogeneous or poorly vascularized where penetration and payload release are central to outcomes.

    Trials increasingly incorporate translational endpoints to connect pharmacology with patient benefit. Programs now track circulating tumor DNA clearance depth and duration of response and changes in tumor immune contexture alongside traditional measures such as objective response rate and progression free survival. Basket and umbrella designs allow faster signal finding across biomarker defined subgroups while adaptive dosing and prophylaxis protocols aim to reduce interstitial lung disease neutropenia and diarrhea risks historically associated with this class. Safety optimization remains a headline theme as developers pursue earlier disease settings including neoadjuvant and adjuvant regimens where tolerance thresholds are tighter and durability signals are crucial.

    Market dynamics favor continued expansion as indications broaden beyond late line metastasis. Health systems are reassessing value as antibody drug conjugates demonstrate the potential to delay or replace multi agent chemotherapy reduce hospitalizations tied to disease progression and improve quality of life measures that matter to patients and payers. Manufacturing scalability is improving through high yield cell lines consistent conjugation processes and quality by design controls that strengthen lot to lot reliability and supply security. Meanwhile companion diagnostics and pragmatic biomarker algorithms are helping clinicians select patients most likely to benefit which supports responsible utilization and reimbursement.

    Combination strategies represent the next wave of differentiation. Trials are pairing antibody drug conjugates with immune checkpoint inhibitors to exploit immunogenic cell death with PARP and AKT inhibitors to intensify DNA damage and with radiotherapy to increase antigen presentation and drug sensitivity. The field is also exploring sequential strategies that recycle targets with different payload classes to delay acquired resistance as well as dual payload designs that can strike complementary vulnerabilities inside the same tumor cell. These approaches are designed to extend response durability and push clinical benefit to earlier stages where cure intent is possible.

    Looking ahead to 2030 the market is expected to organize around three pillars expanding HER2 targeted therapy across the spectrum of expression establishing Trop2 targeting as a backbone for hard to treat phenotypes and validating new antigens that capture patient groups underserved by current options. As evidence accumulates in minimal residual disease and curative settings the narrative will shift from rescue therapy to foundational care. For developers the opportunity lies in articulating clear biomarker strategies demonstrating differentiated safety and durability and building dependable global supply. For clinicians and patients the promise is a future where precision payload delivery is routine where treatment plans are individualized and where the probability of long term disease control steadily rises across the full spectrum of breast cancer.

  • Astronomers stunned by mysterious repeating gamma-ray bursts beyond galaxy – Space News – News

    Astronomers stunned by mysterious repeating gamma-ray bursts beyond galaxy – Space News – News

    Astronomers are baffled after spotting a mysterious repeating series of gamma-ray bursts beyond our galaxy.

    The unexplained phenomenon repeated multiple times throughout a single day, an occurrence unlike anything previously observed.

    The discovery is fascinating, as gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) signal the catastrophic destruction of stars lasting milliseconds to minutes. Therefore, they should not repeat or persist for a day as this one did.

    As the most powerful explosions in the Universe, they can signify massive stars perishing in violent blasts or being torn apart by black holes, among other events.

    The origin of the intense radiation was found to be beyond our Milky Way, its position identified by the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT).

    The European Southern Observatory (ESO) said: “Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most powerful explosions in the Universe, normally caused by the catastrophic destruction of stars. But no known scenario can completely explain this new GRB, whose true nature remains a mystery.”

    This GRB is “unlike any other seen in 50 years of GRB observations,” according to Antonio Martin-Carrillo, an astronomer at University College Dublin, Ireland, and co-lead author of a study on this signal recently published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

    “This is 100 to 1000 times longer than most GRBs,” said Andrew Levan, an astronomer at Radboud University, The Netherlands, and co-lead author of the study.

    “More importantly, gamma-ray bursts never repeat since the event that produces them is catastrophic,” Martin-Carrillo pointed out.

    Dr. Martin-Carrillo further stated: “We keep collecting more data. Determining the true distance of this event will be key to measuring its true energy and will help us improve our physical modeling.”

    “We are still not sure what produced this or if we can ever really find out, but with this research, we have made a huge step forward towards understanding this extremely unusual and exciting object.”
