The 44-6 rout of Argentina sends the All Blacks into the final, where they will play either defending champions South Africa or England. New Zealand started the Rugby World Cup with a defeat to hosts France and a backlash of criticism, but now the All Blacks stand one victory away from a history-making fourth title. The 44-6 rout of Argentina in the semifinals on Friday sent the All Blacks into a record fifth final. Only a few weeks ago, observers wrote them off following a 35-7 hammering by South Africa just before the tournament and then a 27-13 defeat to Les Tricolores for a first-ever defeat in the pool stage. “Criticism and stuff, outside noise, we have become pretty good at blocking out,” captain Sam Cane said. “We trust the coaching staff immensely, we trust the plan. It feels like we’ve built nicely to this point.” Awaiting New Zealand in the final next weekend will be defending championsSouth Africa– also chasing title number four – or England. Their semifinal is on Saturday. “I’ll be watching it, probably have some popcorn. Couldn’t care who wins, to be honest,” New Zealand coach Ian Foster said. Going into the semifinal with Argentina, there was a question mark over whether the All Blacks could physically and mentally back up their astonishing herculean effort totopple Irelandin the quarterfinals. They did, outclassing an Argentina side trying to reach its first final. The All Blacks’ defence against the Pumas finished with 195 tackles, but 121 of them were in the first half when they missed only 10. That exhausted the Pumas, who threw everything at the All Blacks but were virtually out of the contest by halftime at 20-6 behind. As the game opened up more in the second spell, the All Blacks showed off their ruthlessness by building attacks and battering the Pumas to the point of tapping out. They led 39-6 going into the last quarter, when they just added a hat trick try for winger Will Jordan. Jordan could have had a fourth try in the match but Richie Mo’unga ignored the overlap and chose to go on his own and was wrapped up. No matter, Jordan has a tournament-leading eight tries, matching the single tournament record set by Jonah Lomu in 1995, Bryan Habana in 2007 and Julian Savea in 2015. And Jordan has the final to come. Jordan’s overall record in an All Blacks’ jersey now stands at an incredible 31 tries in 30 matches. On Friday, he ran 105m, made seven ball carries, three-line breaks and broke three tackles. His first try started the rout but the last of the three was the best, putting a fitting seal on the victory, as he ran with ball in hand, chipped ahead and then sprinted past the defence to collect the ball and dive over. “He just showed how good he is at finishing things on,” said Foster. It was the most lopsided semifinal result since 1987, when eventual champions New Zealand beat Wales 49-6, started with an early penalty for Argentina’s Emiliano Boffelli after they wasted 14 phases in the first two minutes. Hooker Julian Montoya, the Argentine captain, also paid tribute to New Zealand’s ruthless efficiency. “Every opportunity they have they score,” he said. “Awesome team.” The only downer for New Zealand was Scott Barrett’s yellow card with 15 minutes left for a cynical ruck foul and yet their discipline was still impressive. They conceded three penalties in the first half, seven in the match. The All Blacks draining the tension early on added to a subdued atmosphere at the 80,000-capacity Stade de France, which previously hosted Ireland matches packed with 40,000 green-shirted Irish fans singing their hearts out, or hopeful fans of three-time finalist France. New Zealand will take some stopping next weekend. “We are in a good spot, in the final, exactly where we wanted to be,” Cane said. Follow Al Jazeera English:

New Zealand

Researchers have discovered a sea's worth of water locked within the sediment and rock of a lost volcanic plateau that's now deep in the Earth's crust. Revealed by a 3D seismic image, the water lies two miles under the ocean floor off the coast of New Zealand, where it may be dampening a major earthquake fault that faces the country's North Island.Thefaultis known for producing slow-motion earthquakes, called slow slip events. These can release pent-up tectonic pressure harmlessly over days and weeks. Scientists want to know why they happen more often at some faults than others.Many slow slip earthquakes are thought to be linked to buried water. However, until now there was no direct geologic evidence to suggest such a large water reservoir existed at this particular New Zealand fault."We can't yet see deep enough to know exactly the effect on the fault, but we can see that the amount of water that's going down here is actually much higher than normal," said the study's lead author, Andrew Gase, who did the work as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UTIG).Theresearchwas publishedin the journalScience Advancesand is based on seismic cruises and scientific ocean drilling led by UTIG researchers.Gase, who is now a postdoctoral fellow at Western Washington University, is calling for deeper drilling to find where the water ends up so that researchers can determine whether it affects pressure around the fault—an important piece of information that could lead to more precise understanding of large earthquakes, he said.The Hikurangi plateau is a remnant of a series of epic volcanic eruptions that began 125 million years ago in the Pacific Ocean. A recent seismic survey (red rectangle) led by the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics imaged the plateau as it sinks into New Zealand’s Hikurangi subduction zone (red line). Credit: Andrew GaseThe site where the researchers found the water is part of a vast volcanic province that formed when a plume of lava the size of the United States breached the Earth's surface in the Pacific Ocean 125 million years ago. The event was one of the Earth's largest knownvolcanic eruptionsand rumbled on for several million years.Gase used seismic scans to build a 3D picture of the ancient volcanic plateau in which he saw thick, layered sediments surrounding buried volcanoes. His UTIG collaborators ran lab experiments on drill core samples of the volcanic rock and found that water made up nearly half of its volume."Normal ocean crust, once it gets to be about 7 or 10 million years old should contain much less water," he said. The ocean crust in the seismic scans was ten times as old, but it had remained much wetter.Gase speculates that the shallow seas where the eruptions took place eroded some of the volcanoes into a porous, broken-up rock that stored water like an aquifer as it was buried. Over time, the rock and rock fragments transformed into clay, locking in even more water.The finding is important because scientists think that underground water pressure may be a key ingredient in creating conditions that release tectonic stress via slow slip earthquakes. This usually happens when water-rich sediments are buried with the fault, trapping the water underground. However, the New Zealand fault contains little of this typical ocean sediment. Instead, the researchers think the ancient volcanoes and the transformed rocks—now clays—are carrying large volumes ofwaterdown as they're swallowed by the fault.A seismic image of the Hikurangi plateau reveals details about the Earth’s interior and what it’s made of. The blue-green layer under the yellow line shows water buried within rocks. Researchers at the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics think the water could be dampening earthquakes at the nearby Hikurangi subduction zone. Credit: Andrew GaseUTIG Director Demian Saffer, a study co-author and co-chief scientist on the scientific drilling mission, said the findings suggest that otherearthquakefaults around the globe could be in similar situations."It's a really clear illustration of the correlation between fluids and the style of tectonic fault movement—including earthquake behavior," he said. "This is something that we've hypothesized fromlab experiments, and is predicted by somecomputer simulations, but there are very few clear field experiments to test this at the scale of a tectonic plate."

Changing the way we manage Aotearoa New Zealand's oceans could save our biodiverse-rich, critically-endangered deep-water coral. Aotearoa New Zealand is a biodiversity hotspot for deepwater coral—approximately one sixth of the known deep-water coral species of the world have been recorded in our waters.Deep-water corals are under threat due to ocean warming and acidification due to climate change as well as from the physical impacts of bottom trawling. Deep-water corals are ecologically important because they provide critical benthic structure for other species. Fish live inside their reefs and some of these reefs can extend large distances, covering hundreds of square kilometers. These reefs are also significant sites of carbon and nitrogen mineralization.New researchfrom Sustainable Seas National Science Challenge, published inJournal of Environmental Management, looks atmarine conservationfor deep-water corals to assess the impact of bottom trawling oncoralhabitats now and the effectiveness for protecting these habitats in the future. The findings show that bottom trawling impacts all coral taxa, but particularly reef-forming corals. Habitats will also decline in the future due to a changing climate."When designing protection for these coral with the usual approach, our study found that spatial marine protection is unlikely to provide enough conservation for deep-water corals in the future, due to shifts associated with climate change and fishing," says lead researcher Fabrice Stephenson.The research identifies new areas for spatial marine protection that can provide protection for corals against a changing climate while still giving refuge to current populations. This is particularly important given the predicted reduction in coral habitat due to the cumulative effects ofclimate changeand bottom trawling."Our results demonstrate the considerable risks associated with developing effective marine protected areas that do not account for combining current and future stressors," says Fabrice. "While deep-water corals in New Zealand illustrate this, the same approach is equally applicable to othermarine speciesand for other locations."It takes decades, if not centuries, for some species of deep-water coral to recover.

X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, is introducing two new levels of premium subscriptions, according to its CEO Elon Musk. The billionaire announced the plans in a post on X, saying that one tier will offer all features with no reduction in ads, while the other will be more expensive but ad-free. “One is lower cost with all features, but no reduction in ads, and the other is more expensive, but has no ads,” Musk said in a post on X. Two new tiers of X Premium subscriptions launching soon. One is lower cost with all features, but no reduction in ads, and the other is more expensive, but has no ads. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk)October 20, 2023 The move comes after X started experimenting with charging new users a $1 fee to access the platform in New Zealand and the Philippines. The company said that users who do not subscribe will only be able to view content, but not interact with it. Musk did not reveal any further details about the pricing or availability of the new subscriptions. He has previously stated that charging for X is his way of eliminating bots and fake accounts that plague the platform. He also claimed that it would improve the quality of content and engagement. Since he acquired X in October last year, Musk has made several drastic changes to the platform, including laying off staff, scrapping content moderation teams, and renaming it to X. He also launched X Premium, a $8 per month service that gives users a blue check mark and other perks. Musk’s actions have alienated many advertisers, many of who have stopped running ads on X due to concerns over its credibility and safety. Musk admitted that X’s revenue has suffered as a result, and blamed activists for pressuring advertisers. He also tried to lure them back with discounts and incentives.

New Zealand

A man attempting to row across the Pacific Ocean in a homemade boat has been rescued by a cruise ship after his boat capsized. Tom Robinson, 24, hoped to become the youngest person to complete the feat. He was found sitting on top of his boat with no clothes on, 100 nautical miles south-west off the coast of Vanuatu, a post on his website said. Local media reports say he was treated for sunburn and dehydration aboard the ship, but is in otherwise good health. Mr Robinson's record-breaking attempt began when he set off from Peru in July last year. He was hoping to arrive in Cairns, Australia, by December. He was on the last leg of his trip, after leaving the city of Luganville in Vanuatu on Monday. Speaking to ABC Australia from the country last week, Mr Robinson had said this final part of the journey would be the "make-or-break leg". It is not yet clear what caused his boat to overturn on Thursday evening, but his emergency distress beacon was activated, which alerted the authorities. Early on Friday morning, the P&O Pacific Explorer helped free Mr Robinson from the water, and he climbed up a rope ladder to reach the deck, according to the post on his website. Local media reports say the ship had taken a 200km (124 miles) detour to help with the rescue. In a statement, Mr Robinson thanked the crew of the ship "whose seamanship and professionalism ensured a safe rescue". Tamu Tapaitau, a member of the team supporting him on his attempt, said that the cruise ship was heading to Auckland in New Zealand, and from there Mr Robinson would fly home to Brisbane.

From New Zealand to India, a maths teacher helps students crack entrance exams — using YouTube

New Zealand

Growing up in New Zealand, Subash Chandar always knew he wanted to teach students. But back then, the New Zealander of Indian origin did not imagine that his dreams would one day turn him into the country’s most sought-after mathematics teacher. Auckland-based Chandar, 41, live-streams mathematics lessons from his home in the evenings, available to anyone who wants to learn, on his YouTube account called ‘Infinity Plus One’. Local press in New Zealand call him an “internet sensation”, but the tags given to him by the thousands of students who tune into his lessons every week likely matter more. Chandar helps students with their NCEA mathematics, or the National Certificate of Educational Achievement, New Zealand’s main secondary school qualification for students aged between 15 to 16, equivalent to the Class 10 board examinations in India. “You are seriously a lifesaver. Our teacher has taught us nothing this year but your videos have helped so much and I have improved soo much!! i went from getting achieveds to excellences because of your videos (sic),” writes YouTube user @eleanor5058 under a video posted in August, on infinityplusone’s YouTube page. “This guys basically just my teacher at this point, my math teacher shows us like nothing i swear (sic),” writes @esmoesmoesmo, another user on the same video. Almost a decade ago, in 2013, while working as a mathematics teacher at Ormiston Senior College in Auckland, Chandar started hisvideo tutorials. “The students would come and ask me the exact same question six times in one day. They were all learning things when they were ready because you can’t expect all 30 kids to be ready at the same time. One day, I had six different kids come asking the same question within hours. So I told them, ‘I should have a camera above me and record this so that you can watch it whenever you want.’ The kids asked, ‘Why don’t you do it?’” The students also recommended YouTube as a publishing platform for these videos that would be easy for them to access. That was where the idea of these online tutorials was formed, says Chandar. When Chandar first started his video tutorials, he began addressing some common questions and problems that students in his classes were facing. “We were solving exam papers, talking about how to tackle grades, and I then thought about doing an exam walk-through video for national exams,” says Chandar. Those videos went viral in New Zealand; being a relatively small country, word got around quickly of the free resources that Chandar was providing. Post-2016, Chandar’s contributions towards the teaching of mathematics began to get recognised, with him being awarded for his work by the New Zealand Association of Mathematics Teachers, which helped his work get more visibility. In 2018, he conducted the first live-stream of his classes during the middle of the week involving preparation for examinations, where 500 students joined. “Kids were sending questions on Instagram,Facebookand email,” says Chandar, in addition to sending in questions in the comments box in the YouTube videos. By then, he had already realised that his tutorials were helping kids in ways that he had not even imagined when he first started. “I wasn’t charging anything. A lot of students felt that you had to pay to attend the YouTube tutorial, but it’s a link and it’s free,” he says. Four years ago, Chandar began teaching mathematics at Ormiston Junior College in Auckland. “When I put up these tutorials, the people who come, they come by choice. It’s on a playlist, so if someone couldn’t attend a session, they can still visit and attend it in their own time.” “You are doing what my maths teacher cannot do. Thanks a lot!” says a comment in one of Chandar’s Algebra tutorials from August. Comments on Chandar’s online tutorials indicate that the success of his work has more to do with his ability to connect with students and explain complex theories and concepts in an easy and relatable way to students requiring assistance with the subject, rather than being a reflection of the gaps in the school education system in New Zealand. But Chandar believes that the popularity of his work has much to do with the fact that these students are consciously choosing to attend his classes to learn. “If your child is not ready to learn, nothing is going to work. When I put up these tutorials, the people who come, they come by choice.” For some time now, between July to November, Chandar has been live-streaming his classes up to four times a week, directed mostly towards students preparing for their Mathematics Common Assessment Tasks (MCAT) examinations. Chandar logs in during the evenings after his child has gone to sleep, to help students who tune in from all over the country. “In September the year eleven students have their first MCAT exams. I start teaching for this from the month of July. If students don’t pass this, they don’t get to do the next level of STEM subjects. So their career pathway can take a huge trajectory depending on this exam,” explains Chandar. In 2018, Chandar began noticing something interesting: his audiences began including students from outside New Zealand. “A major subscriber base after New Zealand is the United States and then India in third place,” he says. That coincided with Chandar experimenting with pushing out his tutorials as YouTube shorts. Statistics that Chandar shared withindianexpress.comshowed that while he has 3 million views from New Zealand, he has had 200,000 lifetime views from India alone; big numbers for a niche, basic YouTube channel geared towards students wanting to specifically learn mathematics. “That just showed me that Indians were consuming the content that I was creating asYouTube shorts. It was quite interesting to watch that,” says Chandar. As a 12-year-old who moved fromChennai, Tamil Nadu to a foreign land, Chandar had little reason to believe that his work would contribute to the lives of students in this way and bring so much in return – accolades, recognition and satisfaction in having done a job that he loves well. “At 18, I told my mum that I didn’t want to be an engineer but a teacher, and I remember the shock from mum and dad.” While Chandar’s mother was a maths professor in Chennai and later on a maths teacher in a local New Zealand school when the family relocated to the country, it was not the path she wanted for her son. “But I was dead set on being a teacher at 18. She wasn’t happy with my choice because teaching is a hard profession. The respect that came automatically with teaching in India didn’t come the same way in New Zealand. It was different. It had to do with how they value education in various countries. Mum said, ‘It’s a hard profession in New Zealand, do something else’.” Academic setbacks that he faced during college did not help, requiring him to complete his college education in five years instead of the standard three. “It was some of the lowest points of my life when I was trying to understand how the world works and trying to understand how to study and trying to understand how to survive. I did a bachelor’s in Mathematics but I was horrible at it and failed so many papers. So there were many hurdles to jump through,” says Chandar. “A lot of people told me, ‘How are you going to get a degree? How are you going to be a maths teacher?’ But I wanted to do it because it was something that kept me happy,” he says. The adversities were temporary and likely helped him empathise with and understand students struggling with the subject. These days, he often runs into students, one of the many hundreds who attend his online classes, whom he does not necessarily recognise by name or face, only to be told how much the tutorials have helped and how the classes allowed them to pursue educational and career opportunities. “You are doing what my maths teacher cannot do. Thanks a lot!” says a comment in one of Chandar’s Algebra tutorials from August 2023. When asked why he named his YouTube channel and tutorials ‘infinityplusone’, Chandar says, it is a private story, one that depends on who asks the question. Chandar’s tutorials are free and can be access at: https://www.youtube.com/@infinityplusone

LONDON, ENGLAND - JULY 14: England captain Eoin Morgan shakes hands with New Zealand captain Kane ... [+] Williamson after winning the Final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 between New Zealand and England at Lord's Cricket Ground on July 14, 2019 in London, England. (Photo by Gareth Copley-ICC/ICC via Getty Images) There has been a distinct lack of close contests so far in the 2023 Cricket World Cup, but the final four years ago holds a special place in the annals of ODI history. One of the most enduring images of that day at Lord’s, apart from the iconic commentary by Ian Smith on the very last ball, was the image of both teams on the pitch together at the end of the game. England won the match, but New Zealand won respect for the way they carried themselves. "After we lifted the trophy and did a lap of honour, both teams were on the outfield with family, friends, kids, interacting, talking the whole time," England skipper Eoin Morgan recounted. A few months later, the Kiwis won the Christopher Martin-Jenkins Spirit of Cricket Award. Captain Kane Williamson later spoke of how hard it might be to get over the dramatic defeat, but he was lauded for the way he handled himself and the team in the aftermath by the president of the MCC, Kumar Sangakkara. “The New Zealand team are worthy winners of this award. In the heat of battle, they displayed a level of sportsmanship that was fitting for such a fantastic final and indeed tournament,” the former Sri Lanka captain said at the time. “It is a testament to their squad that even after a match that will live long in the memory of the cricket that was played, we are still talking about the spirit of cricket. Their actions deserve this recognition.” Even England’s hero of the hour, Ben Stokes, quickly summoned respect and regret for the vanquished after a throw from Martin Guptill hit his bat and shot through to the boundary in a freak incident. Without that huge twist of fate, it was almost certain that the Black Caps would have won the trophy. “Playing against New Zealand is always a good event; they are good lads. I will be apologising to Kane for the rest of my life (the overthrow that added four runs). It was written in the stars to happen for us," said Stokes. Compare this reaction to Stokes's rather offhand description of how Australia and England managed to avoid each other for beers during the end of this summer's epic Ashes series. Williamson had more practice at being a gracious runner-up when the Kiwis lost the 2021 World T20 final against Australia. Nevertheless, he embraced David Warner, a teammate in the IPL, for his part in the victory, with a smile on both men’s faces. Williamson doesn’t do the sullen look. Warner is a little less inclined to show such restraint when things don't go his way. New Zealand are an open book, a team that has no egos but a wider, almost old-fashioned ethic. Daryl Mitchell embodies the accessibility and down-to-earth nature of the team. When Mitchell’s six landed in a female fan’s beer during the Lord’s Test in 2022, he sought out the fan in question to apologise. He also won the Spirit of Cricket Award in 2021 for refusing to take a single against England in a tight World T20 semi-final after accidentally blocking Adil Rashid. “At the end of the day, it is just a game, and it is a game that we all love, and we are very lucky to be able to do that in the right way,” Mitchell mused. Some teams have mantras that are just echoed out without feeling or as a stock response. The Kiwis could be playing in the backyard or a World Test Championship final and it would be hard to notice the difference. DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - NOVEMBER 14: David Warner of Australia and Kane Williamson interact ... [+] following the ICC Men's T20 World Cup final match between New Zealand and Australia at Dubai International Stadium on November 14, 2021 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. (Photo by Michael Steele-ICC/ICC via Getty Images) There has been a general mellowing of relationships between teams (sledging—what sledging?) probably helped by the mix of players in IPL franchises. Even so, it would be hard to think of a situation created by the New Zealanders that would lead to a controversy like the Jonny Bairstow stumping in the Ashes. Their Antipodean neighbours may have won four World Cups, but it has been Australia's little brother that has set the standards for behaviour that all sports teams could follow. New Zealand are not necessarily 'good' losers; they are as desperate to win as any side. It's their ability to treat those two famous impostors just the same which is admirable.

Natural disasters vs. natural hazards: Risk-mitigation public campaigns might need rewording

While people think similarly about natural hazards and natural disasters, they might act quite differently about each, concludes a study by New Zealand researchers: Dr. Lauren J. Vinnell (Massey University, Wellington), Professor Taciano L. Milfont (University of Waikato, Tauranga) and Emeritus Professor John McClure (Victoria University of Wellington), recentlypublishedinSocial Psychological Bulletin.Having surveyed 604 people in Wellington, New Zealand, the team concludedpublic communication, meant to encourage risk-reduction behavior, should rather opt for the termnatural hazard. While a hazard denotes a potential fornegative consequences, a disaster implies that these negative consequences are inevitable, the researchers argue.In recent years, there has been a debate about replacing the term natural disaster with an alternative that would better communicate the role of humans in the devastating impacts of natural events, for example, living near fault lines or overlooking building regulations. Previously, in a similar manner,global warmingwas replaced with climate change, which has reportedly led to wider belief and intentions to act.Calling disasters natural puts the blame on nature and downplays the role of people's choices, the researchers explain. While some argue that we should simply drop the word natural and instead refer only to disasters, there is little evidence that the public actually interpret the term in this way. Instead, the team fears, the proposed solution would simply mix disasters such as earthquakes together with the likes of nuclear plant meltdowns, terrorism and pandemics.So, the team set out to explore whether it would make a difference if they talked to people about preparing for natural hazards instead of natural disasters.As part of their study, the researchers measured key factors related to preparation, including social norms, beliefs about whether preparing is helpful, and perceived ability to undertake preparation actions. Interestingly, scores on these factors did not differ significantly when the people were asked about natural hazards and about natural disasters. Thus, the researchers concluded that the terms don't have much, if any, impact on key perceptions.However, when the team asked questions about factors related to one's intentions to prepare—one of the best predictors of actual behavior—they found a significant difference in the responses when they used natural hazards instead of natural disasters."Perhaps most importantly, we found that intentions to prepare for natural hazards predicted actual behavior, but intentions to prepare fornatural disastersdidn't," say the researchers."In terms of the bigger picture, these mixed findings show that we need more evidence on how the general public understands the terms we use, and that it should be this evidence, which drives our word choices when we communicate."To explain the rationale behind their research topic, the team reminds us that, "the impacts of disasters (triggered by natural hazards) have been increasing through a combination of population growth, rendering more people and property vulnerable in risk-prone areas, and an increase in the frequency and severity of high-impact weather events, particularly those driven by climate change.""Every year, over $500 billion is lost from theglobal economyas a result, and between 1998 to 2017, over a billion people were impacted by disasters resulting fromnatural hazards, including over a million fatalities. It is therefore vital that we find the best ways to reduce this harm."

'Girl math' is toxic and it could be holding women back from growing wealth, says a financial specialist

New Zealand

Women are constantly being reminded that math is not for them. Sometimes it's subliminal: a young woman scanning a sea of male faces in her STEM lecture. But often it's more overt, as with TikTok's most recent viral trend: "girl math." The stereotype runs deeper than many of us even realize. As I was bombarded with #girlmath videos, it hit me that I don't consider myself to be "good" at math. Though I didn't get a degree in STEM, I achieved high math grades in school. I studied hard to become a qualified wealth advisor in both the UK and the US — a first for my company at the time. But still, not good at math. And then, even with a whole host of qualifications to confirm my financial and mathematical skills, when a friend saw my trading app he asked, "Does your boyfriend pick those investments for you?" My boyfriend is an engineer, with no financial experience or qualifications. The comment had no malice but jolted me to the ingrained stereotype. Even when women are qualified and experienced in numbers, TikTok tells its audience that girls aren't mathematically capable. The trend pokes fun at irresponsible personal-finance habits, dubbing them girl math. TikTok creators explain to their audiences that #girlmath meansa purchase is free if you pay for it in cash you didn't remember you had, thatnot spending $50 on some shorts you wanted to buy is basically the same as making $50, and — most concerningly — thata purchase is free when it's on your credit card. According to the Evening Standard,the trend emergedafter a clip of hosts on the New Zealand radio station FVHZMwent viral on TikTok. The clip was of the show's segment in which female listeners call in to justify their big purchases with the excuse of "girl maths." The TikTok video spurred a wave of videos in response with women discussing how they justified spending that could be viewed as impractical. Seemingly lighthearted, the hashtag plays into a damaging stereotype that women are bad at math. The Institute for Fiscal Studies found in the UK in 2018 that more girls than boys received A-level certifications – but female students made uponly 39% of math A-level results, and 22% of physics results. The imbalance in women studying math-based topics is reiterated in higher education. UCAS data shows non-male students – participants who identified as women or nonbinary – only made up31% of students studying mathematicsat universities in the UK. But historically, women have excelled in mathematics. Caroline Criado Perez, the author of "Invisible Women," highlights Dainan Tamina, a female mathematician who solved a complex problem that had eluded mathematicians for centuries in 1997. Shakuntala Devi holds a world record forperforming the "fastest human computation." We've got evidence of female mathematicians solving some of the world's greatest problems, yet #girlmath perpetuates the belief women just aren't mathsy. The #girlmath trend focuses on "feminine" spending habits as lavish — another common stereotype of women and money management. A Guardian report found that65% of financial articles directed at womencharacterized them as "splurgers" and sought to teach them how to rein in their wild feminine spending tendencies. This content usually revolves around childlike images of piggy banks, or simplified techniques of stretching budgets ever further. Stereotyping women as having poor maths skills has a direct correlation with an unwillingness to engage with finances. A 2021 study in the Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization suggests the stereotype that women are less financially literate increases their anxiety around money. In a 2021 study of 2,400 American adults making an annual income of $50,000 or more, Fidelity found only a third of female participants said they were confident in their ability to invest. Even though a Fidelity analysis of 5 million of its customers from a recent 10-year period found that women actually slightly outperformed men. In response to #girlmath, the trend #boymath has also started to emerge. This trend appears to balance the perceived financial illiteracy scales. "Boy math" was defined by one X user as "paying $44 billion for a $25 billion company and, through business smarts and entrepreneurial know-how, turning it into an $8.8 billion company." The tweet alludes to Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter, which he rebranded to X. It is worth noting that the boy-math trend seems to illustrate illogical male behavior in a more general sense, whereas girl math is pointedly financial. When the trend's negative spotlight is directed toward men, it avoids conflating men with poor financial habits. The girl-math trend brings women's financial literacy and investing into the limelight. Though the trend itself perpetuates negative stereotypes, it opens up discussions around gender and financial well-being. Why do women cede financial responsibility to their male counterparts? Why do womensave less on average? Most of these debates boil down to the gender pay gap and continued systemic misogyny. So, while TikTok trends like #girlmath may seem funny and fleeting, the stereotypes and systems they play into are not. Zoe Burtis a financial content specialist forFemale Invest.

Even though the number of Indian students opting for higher education overseas grows annually, their abroad spending is set to hit $70 billion by 2025, the latest Indian Student Mobility Report 2023 by Global Education Conclave estimates. According to the report, around 1.3 million Indian students are studying abroad in 2023, with Andhra Pradesh /Telangana, Punjab and Maharashtra as the top Indian states for outgoing students. The report titled “Beyond Beds & Boundaries: Indian Student Mobility Report, 2023,” offers insights into the dynamics of Indian students pursuing higher education abroad, with a particular focus on the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. The report highlighted that recently other countries including Germany, Kyrgyzstan, Ireland, Singapore, Russia, Philippines, France, and New Zealand have also emerged as preferred destinations for studying abroad. Traditionally, Indian students have preferred countries like US, Canada, UK and Australia. Punjab, Andhra Pradesh/ Telangana and Maharashtra are the top states in India in terms of students going abroad, the report said adding that 12.5 per cent each from all these states contribute to the number of students going abroad followed by Gujarat,Delhiand Tamil Nadu with 8 per cent each and Karnataka at 6 per cent. Other states combined is 33 per cent, the report said. The report also provides a detailed analysis of the financial aspects of studying abroad, shedding light on the substantial expenses incurred by Indian students. This analysis highlighted the economic impact of Indian student mobility and also underscored the pressing need for targeted financial support and scholarships. This report addressed the difficulties faced by Indian students in finding suitable accommodation in their destination countries, emphasising the complexities of securing appropriate living conditions and the necessity for streamlined processes and support services to alleviate these challenges. Governments across the world need to put in place a national housing strategy, establish a clear, comprehensive, and coordinated approach to addressing the student housing problem through setting national goals for student housing availability and affordability, establishing guidelines for local student housing policies, and providing funding and resources for student housing initiatives, the report suggested.

TheICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023began on Thursday with New Zealand thrashing defending champions England by nine wickets at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The 1.33 lakh-capacity stadium, which is also scheduled to host the final, saw a lukewarm response as a majority of the stands appeared to be empty when the match began in the scorching afternoon heat. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has been criticised for delaying the sale of tickets and localBJPleaders even distributed free tickets to women to fill the stadium. A man shared on X, formerly Twitter, how he was disappointed with the condition of the seats in the stadium. Sourabh Pareek, from Nagaur city in Rajasthan, went toAhmedabadfor the opening game. Pareek said he bought a ticket for Rs 2,000 but was disappointed seeing the seats filled with bird droppings. “Hyderabadwas not just one example, it’s the same in Ahmedabad for a seat worth 2k,” he wrote.

India vs New Zealand World Cup 2023 Live Streaming: India take on New Zealand in their fifth game of the 2023 Cricket World Cup in a battle of the only two unbeaten teams. For India, it will be a top-of-the-table clash against a team they haven’t bested at major ICC tournaments in 20 years. Five games, five defeats across three formats, including the One-Day World Cup match played across two days in Manchester four years ago. Already missing Hardik Pandya from the New Zealand game due to an injury, the Indian team was handed a scare on Saturday after Suryakumar Yadav picked up a knock on his right forearm during the net session on the eve of the match. To make matters worse, Ishan Kishan suffered a honey-bee bite on the neck. The knock left a question mark on Surya’s availability for the game. Here’s everything you need to know about catching the match live: The India vs New Zealand ODI World Cup match is on Sunday, October 22 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium in Dharamsala. The India vs New Zealand ODI World Cup match will begin at 2 pm (IST). Toss will take place at 1.30 PM. The India vs New Zealand ODI World Cup match will be broadcast on the Star Sports Network in India. All the matches of the World Cup, including India vs New Zealand, will be livestreamed for free on the Disney+ Hotstar mobile app. For other devices like TVs or laptops, the user will need to subscribe to Disney+ Hotstar.

Utrecht University geologist Suzanna van de Lagemaat has reconstructed a massive and previously unknown tectonic plate that was once one-quarter the size of the Pacific Ocean. Her colleagues in Utrecht had predicted its existence over 10 years ago based on fragments of old tectonic plates found deep in the Earth's mantle. Van de Lagemaat reconstructed lost plates through field research and detailed investigations of the mountain belts of Japan, Borneo, the Philippines, New Guinea, and New Zealand.To her surprise, she found that oceanic remnants on northern Borneo must have belonged to the long-suspected plate, which scientists have named Pontus. She has now reconstructed the entire plate in its full glory. The work has been published inGondwana Research.Understanding the movements of the tectonic plates that make up the Earth's rigid outer shell is essential to understand the planet's geological history. The movements of these plates strongly influenced how the planet's paleogeography and climate have changed over time, and even where to find rare metals. But large oceanic plates from the geological past have since disappeared into the Earth's mantle by means of subduction. They have left behind only fragments of rock hidden in mountain belts.Van de Lagemaat studied the planet's most complicated plate tectonic region: the area around the Philippines. "The Philippines is located at a complex junction of different plate systems. The region almost entirely consists of oceanic crust, but some pieces are raised above sea level, and show rocks of very different ages."Utrecht University geologist Suzanna van de Lagemaat has reconstructed a massive and previously unknown tectonic plate that was once one-quarter the size of the Pacific Ocean. Her colleagues in Utrecht had already predicted the existence of the plate years ago, based on fragments of old tectonic plates found deep in the earth’s mantle. Van de Lagemaat reconstructed lost plates through field research and detailed investigations of the mountains of Japan, Borneo, the Philippines, New Guinea and New Zealand. To her astonishment, she found that oceanic remnants on northern Borneo must have belonged to the long-suspected plate, which scientists have named Pontus. She has now reconstructed the entire plate in its full glory. Credit: Suzanna van de Lagemaat/Utrecht UniversityReconstructionUsing geological data, Van de Lagemaat first reconstructed the movements of the current plates in the region between Japan and New Zealand. That revealed how large the area was of plates that must have disappeared in the current western Pacific region."We also conductedfield workon northern Borneo, where we found the most important piece of the puzzle. We thought we were dealing with relicts of a lost plate that we already knew about. But our magnetic lab research on those rocks indicated that our finds were originally from much farther north, and had to be remnants of a different, previously unknown plate."But the important realization was yet to come. "11 years ago, we thought that the remnants of Pontus might lie in northern Japan, but we'd since refuted that theory," explains Douwe van Hinsbergen, Van de Lagemaat's Ph.D. supervisor. "It was only after Suzanna had systematically reconstructed half of the 'Ring of Fire' mountain belts from Japan, through New Guinea, to New Zealand that the proposed Pontus plate revealed itself, and it included the rocks we studied on Borneo."Relics and wavesThe relics of Pontus are not only located on northern Borneo, but also on Palawan, an island in the Western Philippines, and in the South China Sea. Van de Lagemaat's research also showed that a single coherent plate tectonic system stretched from southern Japan to New Zealand, and it must have existed for at least 150 million years. That is also a new discovery in the field.The previous predictions of the existence of Pontus were made possible because a subducted plate leaves behind traces when it 'sinks' into the Earth's mantle: zones in the mantle with anomalous temperatures or compositions. These anomalies can be observed when seismographs pick up signals from earthquakes.Earthquakes send waves through Earth's interior, and when they travel through an anomaly, such as a fragment from an old plate, the anomaly produces a disruption of the signal. Geologists can trace these disruptions to the existence of phenomena in the mantle, such as fragments of tectonic plates. That allows them to look 300 million years into the past; older plate fragments have 'dissolved' at the boundary between the mantle and the core.Astudyfrom 11 years ago showed that a large subduction zone must have run through the western paleo-Pacific Ocean, which separated the known Pacific plates in the east from the hypothetical Pontus plate in the west. This hypothesis has now been independently demonstrated by Van de Lagemaat's research.

(Photo by Matthew Lewis-ICC/ICC via Getty Images) Despite reaching the finals at the last two 50-overs World Cups, some fans and critics still view New Zealand as the underdogs. For stand-in captain Tom Latham that is not a cause for concern at this year’s World Cup in India as his team is focused on playing their best brand of cricket. New Zealand take on defending champions England in the World Cup opener in Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium on Thursday – a replay of the 2019 final, where England lifted the trophy, having won the drama-packed match on the account of hitting more boundaries. Despite their good form in one-day internationals in recent times, New Zealand are not seen as the title contenders. Fans and critics have selected India, Australia and England as their top three picks to lift the trophy. Asked why the two-time finalists are still viewed as underdogs, Latham told reporters on Wednesday: “That's probably something for you guys (media) to decide, but as I said, we don't necessarily focus on that. Kiwis fly under the radar a little bit and go about our business in the way that we want to. “Every team has a different brand that they like to play, a style that they like to play in, and we have ours. We know if we do that and we play to the best of our ability then we are hard to beat on the day.” New Zealand have a good mix of youth and experience in their World Cup squad, with some players gearing up for their fourth World Cup appearance while some will be making their World Cup debut. “So, for us, it's about trying to play our brand of cricket as best we can and if we can do that then hopefully give ourselves a good chance at the back end of the tournament,” Latham added.

[+] session at Narendra Modi Stadium on October 04, 2023 in Ahmedabad, India. (Photo by Gareth Copley/Getty Images) New Zealand will be without their usual captain and key batsman Kane Williamson in the opener against England as he continues his recovery from a knee injury. Williamson, who underwent surgery for a torn anterior cruciate ligament in April, had been doubtful to make the cut for the World Cup squad but has shown good progress in recent times. He batted in their two warm-up games ahead of the tournament, but will skip the match against England as a precaution. “We'd certainly be better off having him (Williamson) but I think from our point of view for him to be here, to be at the World Cup, is a testament to the work that he's put on over the last four to five months to be where he is,” Latham said. “I think it's nearly six months post-surgery and for him to be given a shot, to be given a chance to play in the World Cup at some point is really a testament to the work that he's put in. So for him, it's a day-by-day process in terms of where his recovery is at. “He's obviously played a little bit of a part in the last two warm-up games. You know he's been batting beautifully which is great to see and he was out in the field a couple of days ago so he's progressing really nicely and fingers crossed he's on the park sooner rather than later.” ‘Amazing Opportunity’ A view of the Narendra Modi Stadium ahead of the 2023 ICC men's cricket World Cup, in Ahmedabad on ...

(Photo by Punit PARANJPE / AFP) (Photo by PUNIT PARANJPE/AFP via Getty Images) Playing Thursday’s match in Ahmedabad in a 132,000-capacity stadium, the biggest in world cricket, will be an “amazing opportunity”, said Latham. The world’s biggest cricket stadium, renamed after India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi, also held the final of the lucrative Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Twenty20 tournament earlier this year. “I've just arrived at this grounds, the first time I've been here and walking across the ground it's pretty special and talking to some of the guys that have played the IPL games here they've certainly said it's an amazing place to play cricket, especially in front of a packed house,” Latham said. “So, we're really excited to play the opening game of the World Cup here against a quality opposition and I think from our point of view, as I said earlier, the World Cup always seems a long way away, but for it to finally be here is really cool.”

New Zealand

Ben Fitchett didn't realize how difficult it would be to work from the confines of his bedroom. After graduating from college in 2020, the 23-year-old started working as an account executive at a public-relations firm in New Zealand. He went into the office four times a week — and enjoyed every second of it. But at the beginning of 2021, Fitchett upended his work situation and moved to Los Angeles. When he got there, he was told his job would be fully remote. The account executive worked eight hours a day, five days a week from his apartment. It didn't take long for feelings of isolation to bubble to the surface. Fitchett, a self-described extrovert, said he longed for over-the-desk chats and lunch with his coworkers. The lack of interaction left him feeling drained and like he was missing out on building meaningful connections with his coworkers. "I just felt like I was almost trapped between these four walls," Fitchett, who has since returned to the office part-time, told Insider. Young professionals such as Fitchett are facing a loneliness epidemic that years of working from home have exacerbated. While loneliness can arise at home or in a crowded office, research shows that the onset of remote work has heightened the challenges of staying connected with coworkers. Astudy of more than 60,000 Microsoft employeeswho transitioned from office work to remote work during the pandemic said that they felt "more siloed, less dynamic," and unable to form as many new relationships when they were working from home. "There is a growing recognition that the workplace has become more socially isolating over the past few years with the pandemic," Aaron Terrazas, the chief economist at the job-review site Glassdoor, told Insider. The solitude of remote work seemed to particularly hit Gen Z workers — who began their careers as workplaces went from in-person to virtual — hard. In a 2021study commissioned by Cigna, 79% of surveyed young adults aged 18 to 24 reported feeling lonely, compared to 41% of surveyed seniors aged 66 and older. "Humans are by nature social creatures, and in the past, we have naturally formed groups and bonds in-person via work and social activities," Hubert Palan, the 45-year-old CEO of the product-management company Productboard, told Insider over email. "Company leaders need to help Gen Z — as well as millennials, whose workplace experience was hugely disrupted by Covid — to build strong interpersonal workplace relationships." His company has more than 400 employees, many of whom are in remote roles, and Palan has observed younger remote workers can miss out on the emotional aspects of the in-person workplace. Unaddressed loneliness can have serious consequences. In May,Vivek Murthy, the US surgeon general, declared"loneliness, isolation, and lack of connection" across the country as a public-health crisis, noting that loneliness is associated with cardiovascular disease, dementia, stroke, depression, anxiety, and premature death. Insider spoke to more than a dozen Gen Z workers between the ages of 22 and 26 working in white-collar industries such as tech, public relations, and consulting about how remote work has shaped their feelings of loneliness. Several said it's been harder to develop meaningful relationships with their colleagues — connections that experts have said could be beneficial to their mental health and careers down the line. These workers also said remote work has increased anxiety, lowered morale, and curtailed opportunities for career advancement. Of course, not everyone wants to return to the office, or do so all the time. But when it comes to alleviating loneliness, in-person work may be the best medicine. Gen Z workers said that solitary remote work has taken a toll on their professional development and sense of work-life balance. In a study coming out later this year, Mansoor Soomro, a workplace researcher at Teesside University in the UK, surveyed 2,000 Gen Z workers across countries and industries to understand the most pressing challenges they face in their jobs. Soomro found that many surveyed Gen Z workers with remote jobs felt a sense of "isolation" from their coworkers and, in turn, believed they missed out on networking opportunities. He expects these challenges could potentially lead to elevated feelings of stress and anxiety, inconsistent productivity levels, and an inability to merge well with company culture. With companies asking —and in some cases mandating— their employees return to the office, Gen Z workers who are going in regularly have said they have a renewed sense of confidence in their jobs. Juanita Garcia only realized how remote work impeded her professional development when she transitioned from a remote role to a hybrid role this past June. The 23-year-old — who is based in New York and works for the government — said she struggled at first with workplace etiquette. She wasn't sure about what to bring for lunch or when to eat it, and wondered whether it was appropriate to go get a coffee or stop at a coworker's desk to ask questions. But she also realized how lonely her job was when she was working from home. "I was in constant communication, but I didn't actually have people around me who were willing and able to chat and talk and help," she told Insider. Now that Garcia has settled into her new job, she said being in the office has given her an opportunity to observe her higher-ups and has increased her own sense of ambition. "I'm around people who've done great things and who are now my mentors," she said. "I can talk to them all the time, and I can see them working hard." The same rings true for Fitchett. When working from home, Fitchett said he felt like he missed out on professional-development opportunities. Since Fitchett's employer started mandating employees go to the office, Fitchett said he finally feels a sense of ease at his job. He said he "loves" the interactions he has in the office — whether that's asking a coworker sitting next to him a question or participating in a group brainstorming session — and that they boost both his productivity and morale. He now goes into the office up to four times a week, even though his company only requires employees to come in two days. "When I'm in the office, it's easier for me to kind of just stay on track," Fitchett said. Many Gen Zers who still work remote roles are seeking connections outside the office, choosing to work from coffee shops, coworking spaces, or libraries. Anita Pan — who works remotely as a developer at a "no-code" app agency — moved from New York to Washington, DC in 2021, just a year out of college. The 25-year-old struggled with working remotely, especially in a new city.Remote work exacerbated her social anxiety, she said, and she found herself overanalyzing interactions she wouldn't have thought twice about in college. She tried working from Starbucks, joining a climbing gym, and renting a room at a WeWork location, but the new settings didn't ease her loneliness. She now works an additional 10 hours a week — outside of her full-time job — as a receptionist at the Pilates studio Solidcore. The experience is helping her overcome her anxiety and foster new connections. "My job is to make the studio a very welcoming place where people make conversations with clients, build community with clients," Pan said. "You're forced to get out of your shell and start relating to people." Others are turning to a handful of startups dedicated to helping remote workers stave off loneliness through virtual-coworking spaces. Ricky Yean is the founder Flow Club, a Y Combinator-backed virtual-coworking space that aims to help remote workers stay on task. He said that Gen Zers — especially those without offices — make up the majority of the platform's users. Staying motivated and productive, Yean argues, are not problems that stem from a lack of willpower or discipline — they come from loneliness. "The fact that they're showing up and sitting next to you doing something you don't know much about creates this feeling that we're in this together," Yean told Insider. There's more that goes into a worker's preferences than loneliness, andGen Z workers are mixedabout returning to the office full time. Areport from Dellreleased last December that surveyed 15,105 people between the ages of 18 and 26 across 15 countries found that 29% of respondents look for the ability to work remotely when they apply for jobs, while another 29% said they prefer nine-to-five office-based roles. Working from the office can be expensive. A recent study found that the typical hybrid workerspends an average of $51per day — $36 more than they spend on a day they work from home — when they go into the office on things such as commuting, parking, and food.Remote workers can also spend less on housingby moving to more affordable locations farther away from big cities. There are other reasons some prefer remote work. Studies have shown that somepeople of colorprefer working from home toescape workplace racism.Workers with disabilitiesmay be able to better accommodate their needs from home, andLGBTQ+ employees are more likely to leavea job if there's no remote option.The ability to work from home has also led to arecord number of women in the workforce. Plus, some workers say they're more productive when working from home. Bianca Wu, a 23-year-old tax consultant at PwC based in the Bay Area, was required to work in the office once a week as of last December. Even though Wu, who felt "super lonely" working from home, found making connections with people in an office "so much more personable," she prefers to work remotely when she can. As someone with ADHD, Wu said she focuses better at home because the office environment can be distracting. On days when she did go into the office, she found it pointless when nobody on her team — including her boss — was there. "Even though there's a mandate to come into the office, still a lot of people wouldn't go," Wu, who now works from home full-time after switching teams, said. "So then it's like, why are we here if the important people that need to come into the office aren't coming in?" For her — and many other Gen Z workers — the solution may come in some form of flexibility. Even though Fitchett enjoys being in the office, he said he likes having the option to change his scenery occasionally. "At the age that I'm at now, I want that flexibility to be able to jump between an office and home and switching it up a little bit," he said. To that point, Soomro said that Gen Z workers would like to continue having the flexibility to work remotely — and are willing to quit their jobs to keep that perk: "This is the generation that will come out first saying, 'If you're not offering remote work or hybrid work, I'm ready to move.'"

Bazball, British English (ˈbæzbɔːl) NOUN: a style of test cricket in which the batting side attempts to gain the initiative by playing in a highly aggressive manner. Yes, the buzzword that has been doing the words in cricket circles for the brand of Test cricket played England underBrendon McCullumand Ben Stokes is not just a random coinage anymore. Makers of the Collins Dictionary said that it was one of the shortlisted entries for Word of the Year 2023. Bazball is shortlisted for#CollinsWOTY2023. Discover the full list:https://t.co/gmsnCqA0yv#CollinsDictionary#WordoftheYear#Bazballpic.twitter.com/SjaWNYOH4D — Collins Dictionary (@CollinsDict)November 1, 2023 Bazball is a term that came into cricket’s lexicon after England’s Test cricket fortunes swung under coach McCullum, the former New Zealand captain who was known for his aggressive style. Under Stokes’ leadership, England have adopted a go-for-win-at-all-costs attitude, and saw great early success with it. It has only been reluctantly used by the proponents of it. “I don’t have any idea what ‘Bazball’ is,” McCullum had told SEN radio in July last year. “It’s not just all crash and burn, if you look at the approach, and that’s why I don’t really like that silly term that people are throwing out there. “Because there’s actually quite a bit of thought that goes into how the guys manufacture their performances and when they put pressure on bowlers and which bowlers they put pressure on. There’s also times where they’ve absorbed pressure beautifully as well.” On Wednesday, Cricket Australia asked about the addition of Bazball to the dictionary to Marnus Labuschagne. The response from the Aussie batter was one of surprise, and he ended the video saying: “Oh man, that is garbage. I don’t know what that is, honestly. I have no idea what you are talking about.” ‘Bazball’ in the dictionary? 📖🤔 #CWC23pic.twitter.com/tlAdju5qVn — cricket.com.au (@cricketcomau)November 1, 2023 The nod for Word of the Year 2023 eventually went to “AI”: UNCOUNTABLE NOUN, AI is an abbreviation for artificial intelligence, the modelling of human mental functions by computer programs.

New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson who missed theICC World Cup 2023match against India on Sunday due to an injury had earlier taken to Instagram to reveal the “real cause” of his situation. The 33-year-old posted his picture with former WWE wrestlerThe Great Khaliand joked that that’s when he “really fractured his thumb”. “When I really fractured my thumb. Na but seriously, that’s one strong handshake!” Williamson wrote along with a laughing emoji. The Great Khali had met the captains of all the participating teams in the World Cup a few weeks ago inAhmedabadduring the All Captain’s Meet. While batting against Bangladesh on October 13, Williamson was hit on his thumb by a stray throw and it injured him. He retired hurt after scoring 78 runs. As a result, the New Zealand captain has been ruled out until the latter stages of the tournament.

Groov Helps Tackle Mental Health In The Workplace And In Rugby

Legendary All Black winger, and Groov Co-founder, Sir John Kirwan speaks at the MFAA Conference at ... [+] International Convention Centre, Sydney on 25/5/2023. Groov is teaming up with New Zealand Rugby as its official wellbeing partner - helping highlight mental health on and off the field. With the All Blacks looking to lift a fourth Rugby World Cup by the end of October, there is no better moment for the two organizations to raise awareness about a proactive approach to mental wellbeing and mental health issues such as stress, anxiety and depression. With Groov’s platform, rugby unions in New Zealand and offices around the world are being given the tools to help their workers feel good, function better and maintain happy and healthy lifestyles. Groov was co-founded by technology entrepreneur Adam Clark and former All Black winger Sir John Kirwan. Kirwan had a stellar career, winning the World Cup on home soil in 1987 and playing abroad in Italy and Japan in the 80s and 90s. However, throughout his glittering career Kirwan suffered from depression. He sought help and became one of the first major athletes to speak out about mental health and advocate for more training and understanding on the topic. He was even knighted for his rugby exploits and his mental health advocacy work. His company now provides preventative, evidence-based mental wellbeing software for businesses and sports organizations around the world. As previously reported in Forbes, a survey from Mental Health America shows that roughly 50 million American adults suffer from at least one form of mental illness. That same survey reports that nearly 12 million American adults have serious thoughts of suicide. Globally, estimates show that 1 in 4 adults suffer from mental health conditions and according to the United Nations, cases of anxiety and depression are up 25%-27% post-pandemic. As suicide prevention month comes to a close in the U.S. it is worth highlighting the efforts of companies like Groov that provide preventative, proactive tools that help people live happier, healthier lives. Perhaps the most notable thing about Groov’s approach to mental wellbeing is that it recognizes one size does not fit all. The company - which is “dedicated to lifting the mental wellbeing of 100 million people in workplaces all around the globe” - uses clinically-backed and evidence-based data based on over 200 years of combined experience from its clinical team and advisory group. The approach is focused on small, sustainable actions that individuals can use to function and perform better over time. Groov is not a crisis service, it aims to make sure as few people as possible find themselves in need of crisis services. Groov meets people where they are at, and because most people spend the majority of their day at work, Groov meets them in the workplace. The mental wellbeing platform can be directly integrated into whatever platform a business uses - Google, MS Teams, Slack, etc - and uses “bite-sized nudges, notifications and health checks” to regularly prompt workers and executives to take mental breaks and check-in on one another. The platform also takes the pressure off of managers and executives, who Groov CEO Matt Krogstad says are at the highest risk for burnout. The platform checks-in on employees, and they can decide if they want that data to be shared with their manager. Groov also provides training for managers on how to speak to employees and encourage them to do what is best for their mental wellbeing. This lifts their people and their team’s performance. Krogstad notes that mental health issues are pervasive throughout society and will require a variety of solutions. He believes working directly with employers is a great way to tackle mental health, insisting that the platform can help managers understand if their employees are feeling down and who is feeling burnt out. Ultimately, Krogstad believes if employees are feeling good, they - and the business - will perform better. As he puts it, “it's a really compelling business case.” The company’s flagship product is “Groov Anywhere,” which is designed for wired employees. Using the platform while at work and the companion app when at home, people have personalized mental health check-in reminders that encourage them to recharge, relax, focus and enjoy. A happy, focused workforce is more productive, innovative, creative and engaged. The company also combines the app with live events, to help tackle really tough issues and reach unwired workers. Like the software, the live events are integrated into the flow of the workplace and are co-hosted with executives from the employer. Groov has become New Zealand Rugby's official wellbeing partner, growing its presence beyond the ... [+] office. Krogstad notes that feedback about the platform has been positive and that families and kids of employees who use Groov have also found it beneficial. He says, kids particularly enjoy the breathing exercises the mobile app offers. The seamless integration into the workplace and home allows a proactive approach to wellbeing to become almost second nature, with the idea being that people will naturally feel and function better by taking small daily steps. Groov uses six pillars of evidence-based small daily actions that are designed to provide positive feedback loops: 1. Chill 2. Do 3. Connect 4. Move 5. Celebrate 6. Enjoy. By partnering with New Zealand Rugby, Groov is taking its performance platform to the next level. It is hard to play down the influence sports have in communities around the world, and in New Zealand, rugby is king. The two organizations will benefit from mutual collaboration, putting mental performance at the forefront in business and in sports. As Krogstad says, “they [New Zealand Rugby] are an organization that has shown high performance in sports and have uniquely focused on mental performance.” The All Blacks have become known for their performances under pressure, overcoming the chokers tag that weighed them down for nearly two decades. Pressure has become a privilege in their environment and this mindset has helped increase enjoyment and decrease anxiety within the team. As the Rugby World Cup winds down and suicide prevention month ends in the U.S. it is important to remember that mental health is just as important as physical health. Everyday there are people suffering with invisible challenges, and without proper education, care and support they could head down a dark road. The pressure of sports and the pressure of life can often build into anxiety, depression and unmanageable stress, which is why it is critical that everyday people are afforded the opportunity to care for themselves. Groov is providing this platform for millions of workers around the world, and is helping create a happier and healthier workplace and society. Their everyday mental wellbeing model is about more than just helping people manage stress and pressure, it is about protecting from future mental risk and improving people’s daily life experience. Together with New Zealand Rugby, Groov is showing that people and athletes can overcome adversity and thrive if mental health and wellbeing are given the attention they deserve. This means being open and honest about when a break is needed, discussing issues such as anxiety and depression and seeking help before things get worse. With this in mind, life can be celebrated and enjoyed at work and at home.

New Zealand

A previously unknown tectonic plate that was once one-quarter the size of the Pacific Ocean was ... [+] discovered by geologists. Utrecht University PhD candidate Suzanna van de Lagemaat has reconstructed a massive and previously unknown tectonic plate that was once one-quarter the size of the Pacific Ocean. She reconstructed the lost plate through computer simulations and field research in the mountain belts of Japan, New Zealand, New Guinea, Borneo and the Philippines. Earth's rigid outer shell is divided into a dozen large tectonic plates and microplates, but their number varied over geological time. Tectonic plates consisting mostly of heavy oceanic crust have disappeared into the Earth's mantle by means of subduction. Only fragments thrusted into mountain belts survived this process. "The Philippines is located at a complex junction of different plate systems. The region almost entirely consists of oceanic crust, but some pieces are raised above sea level, and show rocks of very different ages," explained de Lagemaat. Van de Lagemaat first reconstructed the movements of the current plates in the region between Japan and New Zealand over the past 150 million years. The reconstruction showed a gap opening between the Australian Plate in the south, the Eurasian Plate in the north, the Indian Plate in the west and the Pacific Plate in the east. So she started to look for tangible evidence of a missing plate fitting this gap. "We also conducted field work on northern Borneo, where we found the most important piece of the puzzle. We thought we were dealing with relicts of a lost plate that we already knew about. But our magnetic lab research on those rocks indicated that our finds were originally from much farther north, and had to be remnants of a different, previously unknown plate." Tectonic plates sink only slowly into Earth's mantle. The Farallon Plate, part of the Pacific Ocean subducted over 30 million years ago beneath the North American continent, is still visible in seismic surveys. Geologists already assumed that a now vanished plate existed in the western Pacific region, named Pontus after the Greek deity of the sea, but they weren't sure where. "Eleven years ago, we thought that the remnants of Pontus might lie in northern Japan, but we'd since refuted that theory," said Douwe van Hinsbergen, Van de Lagemaat's Ph.D. supervisor. "It was only after Suzanna had systematically reconstructed half of the Ring of Fire mountain belts from Japan, through New Guinea, to New Zealand that the proposed Pontus plate revealed itself, and it included the rocks we studied on Borneo." The relics of Pontus are not only located on northern Borneo, but also on Palawan, an island in the Western Philippines, and in the South China Sea. Together with the position of former tectonic borders, this discovery allowed to reconstruct the full extent of the Pontus Plate. About 150 million years ago it was at least one-quarter the size of the modern Pacific Ocean. As the expanding paleo-Pacific pushed westwards, the Pontus Plate was eventually subducted beneath the Eurasian Plate. Fragments of the seafloor were thrusted onto land and incorporated in the rising mountains as the plates were squeezed together, where they were eventually discovered by de Lagemaat. The geological history of the Pontus oceanic plate as reconstructed by Suzanna van de Lagemaat. This video animation shows the entire geological history of the Pontus oceanic plate as reconstructed by Suzanna van de Lagemaat: The study "Plate tectonic cross-roads: Reconstructing the Panthalassa-Neotethys Junction Region from Philippine Sea Plate and Australasian oceans and orogens" was published in the journal Gondwana Research (2023).

Pandya twisted his left ankle while bowling his first over for India against Bangladesh, whom they defeated by seven wickets on Thursday in the western city of Pune. While bowling the third ball of the over, the 30-year-old Pandya attempted to field a ball knocked back to him by Bangladesh opener Litton Das, but instead rolled his ankle as he tumbled to the ground. Pandya could not finish bowling the over, as Virat Kohli bowled the remaining three deliveries.

He will be under the constant supervision of the BCCI Medical Team. “He will not be taking the flight to Dharamsala with the team on 20th October,” the statement said, adding that Pandya is expected to join back with the team for their match against defending champions England on October 29 in the northern city of Lucknow. Pandya’s Importance Pandya’s absence will be a huge blow to India, who are currently second in the points table behind New Zealand only owing to the net run rate (NRR). So far, Pandya has picked up five wickets in four matches for India, having bowled a total of 16 overs.

There is no like-for-like replacement for Pandya available in the squad. However, the 2011 champions could tweak their combination against the Kiwis and perhaps bring in Suryakumar Yadav for Pandya and Mohammed Shami for Shardul Thakur, ESPNCricinfo website reported.

South Africa vs New Zealand: Why chases have been South Africa’s bugbear at the World Cup over the years

New Zealand

There’s a five-letter word starting with ‘c’ that merges the destinies of South Africa and New Zealand in World Cup cricket. It is not as viciously spat out, or unimaginatively uttered, or unoriginal as ‘choke’. You can try your hand at solving our Cricket World Cupcrossword But it arches over the entirety of their bat and ball 50 over World Cup history. The word is ‘chase’, and the two sides meeting inPuneon Wednesday uniquely mirror each other, with New Zealand a few paces ahead of the South Africans in how the chase race has panned out. South Africans botched their modest run-chase against Netherlands a few days back. They stuttered against the mighty Australians famously in 1999, and stumbled forgettably against minnows Bangladesh in 2007. So the defeat to the Dutch in the middle of some serious run-loots and 400-plus scores, evoked a wry shake of the head as if to say, “That’s just them.” Poor run chases look like anomalies in most of their World Cup campaigns, until suddenly they are the coup de grace. 1992 to Duckworth & Lewis and England, 1996 to West Indies, 1999 to Australia, 2003 to Sri Lanka and 2011 to New Zealand. But excitingly for this edition, the Proteas arrived in Pune to face their sweet-smiling nemesis New Zealand who tripped them up in both 2011 and 2015 Knockouts, on the back of a 1-wicket thrilling chase against Pakistan inChennai. Keshav Maharaj’s roar alongside Tabraiz Shamsi’s dogged defense, set alight this World Cup edition. It was merely a league match against a Pakistan in shambles, and ought to never have been a desperate last-wicket scramble. Still, the roar showed what going past the line meant to the Saffers. The country’s most shocking loss when chasing against New Zealand in World Cups came in 2011, when Daniel Vettori exerted a spin-strangle on a wicked Dhaka wicket to squeeze the batting life out of a vaunted SA top 6 of Amla, Smith, Kallis, AB deVilliers, Duminy and Faf, and Jacob Oram landed the knockout punches with 4 wickets. Follow all the action from theCricket World Cup 2023on our special World Cup section. You can also find the lateststats, like thetop scorerand thehighest wicket-takerof the current edition, upcomingWorld Cup fixturesand thepoints tableon the site. It was Jacques Kallis’ most unfluent 75 deliveries faced. And though it pales in memory to the Donald harakiri of 1999, a mixup runout that claimedAB de Villiers, ended hopes of one of the strongest Cup teams SA ever fielded. New Zealand are haunted by no such Halloweens of cricket batting. Against South Africa in World Cups alone, where they have won 6 of their 8 faceoffs since 1992, 5 have been successful run-chases. Things got tight in the 2015 Auckland semifinals, when they won by 4 wickets, off the penultimate ball. The victory margin was ditto in a group game of 2019 though this time, the Kiwis won with 3 balls remaining, steered by a calmKane Williamsonton despiteChris Morristriggering collapses at 4/80 and 5/137 while chasing 242. They even tied a Super Over target of 15 last time and were thrown a technicality to deny them the World Cup.Jimmy Neeshamwas back to doing his thing last week, bringing them within 5 runs of a mammoth target of 388 at Dharamshala against Australia. Captain Tom Latham, whose father Rod made 60 the first time that the Kiwis slashed down the Saffer target in 1992, speaking on match-eve, gave an insight into just how little these narrow losses sting a team like New Zealand not racked by chasing nightmares. “It was fantastic how our batters put us in a position to win a game chasing almost 400. We were just one shot away from winning so we’ll put these learnings into tomorrow’s game” he would say. Latham said the team had recognized fairly early on that it was a good pitch, and set about in pursuit of 389. “We’ll look at the positives.” What New Zealand chase, not unlike South Africa, is their first World Cup trophy in cricket. The Proteas misses and their eluding success in World Cups has evoked everything from lilting laments to bawling ballads. New Zealand came closer than the Saffers, and were dealt brutal blows especially Martin Crowe’s men in 1992 andBrendon McCullum’s crew in 2015. The 2019 finish will struggle to summon a coherent closure. Yet, New Zealand plod on, without dramatics or poetry, without riffing off Greek tragedies. There are other semifinals misses too, that don’t even make the litany of heartbreaking losses though it would’ve equally hurt the personnel. They just get up after every loss, dust themselves off, and turn up at the next edition. Latham, a second-generation World Cup chaser, took over the baton from not just his father, but stepping in as captain carries the same optimism that renders the Australia loss to a pointer in lessons learnt. Kane Williamson who batted for 30-odd deliveries outside the NZ nets in Pune, has perfected the comeback — be it from ridiculous World Cup rules or a busted knee or a freakish thumb injury, which he described as “turning fat and colourful very fast after it was struck.” Kiwi cricket wears its heartbreaks and bone-shatters lightly. Destiny’s reward New Zealand chase destiny’s reward for the years of consistency and excellence in their cricket. Unlike South Africa whose outstanding talents like Hansie Cronje, Allan Donald, Lance Klusener, Kallis, AB deVilliers,Dale Steyn, Faf Du Plessis and Graeme Smith were burdened with pressure of winning the World Cups and perhaps caved under it, New Zealand have always been an unassuming unit without celebrity or stardom. Like Rod Latham who was support cast to Greatbatch in 1992, a dozen others have contributed to their win record against Saffers in World Cups — SA haven’t won since 1999. While Stephen Fleming and Williamson have captain’s tons in run chases, the heroes are as varied as Nathan Astle who went after Donald in 2003, Craig McMillan who took out the middle order in 2007 and chased calmly, Jacob Oram in 2011, Corey Anderson and Grant Elliot in 2015 and Colin de Grandhomme whose 60 off 47 got them the last 100 in 2019. In this, they live the All Blacks mantra of shared responsibility. Latham spoke of All Blacks highlighting NZ’s racial diversity as much as Springboks did theirs at the Rugby World Cup. But from that losing ABs final on Saturday, the Black Caps gleaned out their lessons. “It was unfortunate to end on the wrong side, but they taught us to scrap all the way to the end, fight hard till deep in the back end of the game,” he said. Perhaps because the two are so similar in the brand of cricket they play, knowing they’ll always be in the shadow of adored rugby teams until they nail down a World Cup of their own, their matches have been so even. There’s rarely an edge to their rivalry, plentiful of mutual respect, and maybe a shared annoyance of Australia, boisterous with its five World Cups.

New Zealand

Black is an inescapable colour in Chennai. It is the colour that revolutionised its biggest-ever political movement which continues till date. It is a colour that means dominance in these parts. In the not-so-distant past, there was even a period when one could be denied entry at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on match days for donning black shirts or t-shirts. But on Friday, as the rest of the world’s gaze was onAhmedabad, and all the talk centred around India vs Pakistan, it was hard to miss a black t-shirt withKane Williamson’s name on its back. On a humid evening, between their bowlers’ splendid job and Daryl Mitchell’s finishing touch, it was Williamson who weaved his magic with an unbeaten 78 to guide New Zealand to their third successive win at the World Cup. The eight-wicket victory over Bangladesh may have been a resounding one but one could see New Zealand preferring not to make a big deal of it. “Six more matches to go, let’s see how it goes,” was the cliché that their players stuck to later on. Of course, humility is a Kiwi characteristic. But one would never know with these poker-faced men, who have a zillion tricks up their sleeves with bat and ball in hand that allow them to embrace each and every condition they encounter with aplomb. A post shared by ICC (@icc) Maybe, they prefer it this way, for it helps them fly under the radar before others wake up and realise that they are in the semifinals once again. The way they have got off the blocks at this World Cup in three varied conditions in Ahmedabad,Hyderabadand now inChennaion Friday has all the makings of a team that can go the distance after two near-misses in the last two editions. The original underdogs at every World Cup, perhaps this is the one where they emerge as top dogs on every front. After Lockie Ferguson’s stellar spell in the middle overs, Bangladesh managed to stretch their total to 245. It definitely seemed sub-par on this surface, but not something that looked like a walk in the park for New Zealand. Apart from Williamson, in Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra and Tom Latham they had the ideal nimble-footed batsmen to tackle Bangladesh’s spin threat. A post shared by ICC (@icc) But after the early dismissal of Ravindra, it once again came down to Williamson. When he limped off the field after attempting a catch during the first match of the IPL all those months ago, the World Cup looked like a near-impossible dream. A ruptured ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) in his right knee, the worst sort of injury an athlete could suffer, needed surgery and a long recovery. Such injuries tend to sideline elite athletes across sports for eight to nine months at least. Williamson even got the World Cup out of his mind as it could have turned him desperate. “It was probably a good thing just to get my head stuck into rehab each day and not sort of rush it and that was really my focus and I was fortunate as well I had a really, really good team around me back home and also fortunate not to have a lot of setbacks during that time,” Williamson said. Calm and focused As the World Cup neared, Williamson – just like how he fronts up in a chase – hardly panicked, letting time do the healing. There were milestones to take care off at each phase of the recovery, similar to what he faced in Chennai in pursuit of the target. Not once did he seem out of place, or do anything that could invite trouble. With Bangladesh asking questions with the new ball, he fought through the tough phase, which would have reminded him of his early days after the injury. It wasn’t the time for the ego to take over. Baby steps had to be taken before he walked briskly. Williamson just grinded it out. The timing, which is the essence of his batting, was at the forefront of it. Not for a single delivery did he look like a batsman who hadn’t played an international fixture for seven months. He first stitched an 80-run partnership for the second wicket with Conway that put New Zealand on the way. And for the third wicket in the company of Mitchell, who in the past has struggled on subcontinent pitches, Williamson milked the Bangladesh attack. With the required run rate well under control and Mitchell showing a tendency to struggle against spinners, he took it upon himself to let his partner settle, even helping him overcome a nervy start. In the stands, each run that Williamson ran prompted claps. Boundaries would be greeted with cheers. By now, Chepauk was entering the territory where Williamson was beginning to put on an exhibition, but only for it to be cut short by a throw that hit him on the thumb prompting him to retire hurt on 78, after having put together an unbroken 108-run stand with Mitchell. Barring that slight hiccup in the end with regard to Williamson, this was yet another outing where New Zealand pulled the strings from ball one.

'Burp tax' causes outrage in New Zealand - but could this impact the elections?

New Zealand has a plan to tax farmers for their livestock's burps and flatulence -- and it's causing a stink ahead of Saturday's general elections.

New Zealand

The New Zealand economy is driven by agriculture with around 10 million cattle and 25 million sheep - that's seven times more livestock than people in the country. Like many in the world, the government in Wellington to tackle climate change and just under half of New Zealand's emissions come from agriculture. As cattle are the main culprits, with their belches and farts containing methane, the plan is to put a price on agricultural emissions -- in effect taxing burps and farts from livestock . Farmers would be taxed according to the size of their land, the amount of livestock they own, their overall production and their use of nitrogen fertiliser. Many farmers fear, however, that the pricing will hurt profits and threaten livelihoods.  How much could the 'burp tax' be? The Irish Examiner cited a calculation prepared by US Department of Agriculture experts, using a modelling approach of NGO Beef + Lamb New Zealand Ltd. It shows that the 'burp' tax would cost a typical big dairy farm in the country more than €11,000 per year, with methane priced at €0.067 per kg. The calculation includes plenty of incentive discounts on emission reduction actions and technologies, but without those the levy could be as much as €52,000 in a year.  Could the burp tax heavily influence the elections? And this topic may well be an important one to consider in the general elections on Saturday for some 85,000 voters employed in agriculture. "I think it will impact on how agricultural rural communities vote this election," Kate Wyeth, a sheep and beef farmer near the capital Wellington on the North Island, told AFP. "Particularly whichever party - or group of parties - is looking at giving the agricultural industry time to adapt new technologies that aren't even available to us yet," she added. The proposed plan still needs the approval of the parliament before the tax system can take effect in 2025 at the earliest. However, opposition centre-right party National has said it will push it back further to 2030 if elected. Wyeth said that technologies need to be developed -- for example, feeds given to livestock that reduce methane emissions -- to stop farmers feeling that their only choice is to reduce livestock numbers. Could lowering emissions be financially beneficial? "We are one of the world's leading agricultural countries and agricultural emissions make up half of the total pollution that we put into the atmosphere every year," James Shaw, the country's Minister for Climate Change, told AFP. Lowering emissions could benefit New Zealand's farmers by attracting foreign buyers willing to pay more for sustainable agricultural products, Shaw said. "There is a sweet spot with lower emissions and lower pollution and higher profits for farms," he added. The Washington Post cited a government modeling that suggests that sheep and beef revenue would drop by around 20% by 2030 — driving many farms out of business.
