Messages in a bottle written by two Australian soldiers in 1916 have been found more than a century later on the country's south-western coast.

The cheerful notes were penned just a few days into their voyage to join the battlefields of France during World War One.

One of the soldiers, Pte Malcolm Neville, told his mother that the food on board was "real good" and that they were "as happy as Larry". Months later, he was killed in action at the age of 28. The other soldier, 37-year-old Pte William Harley, survived the war and returned home.

The bottle was found earlier this month on the remote Wharton Beach, near Esperance in Western Australia, by local resident Deb Brown and her family.

This is a maybe for me, I generally enjoy the Seibu Kaihatsu games.

Anyone try them and have experiences to share? The feature set seems similar.

EDIT: From the comments I'm seeing so far it seems that as of now they are indeed very similar!

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued the makers of Tylenol, Johnson & Johnson and Kenvue, claiming that they deceptively marketed the over-the-counter medication to pregnant women despite alleged links to autism and other disorders.

This is the first lawsuit from a state government since Donald Trump claimed in September that Tylenol use during pregnancy is linked to an increased risk of autism, despite limited evidence to suggest an association -- and no evidence that it causes autism, according to major medical organizations.

Or asked the other way around: How long do you keep your servers running without installing any software updates?

Edit: Thanks so much for the answers already. Can you focus a bit more on the difference US/Europe? I now really feel it's twisted - Evangelicals are mor radical than Catholics in the US and Catholics being more radical in Europe

All I hear from evangelicals in the US is that they are super radical. Here in central Europe, we are divided between Catholics and Protestants (evangelic). The catholics are usually seen as much more conservative than protestants, regarding marriage of pastors, LGBTQ etc. The protestants here (I was baptized as one but left the church later) are pretty chill with all that.

So my question is: How do European Protestants and US evangelicals differ? Are the evangelicals really more radical than US catholics, or are they just the majority? Do temperate Christians exist in the US?

STOCK MARKET RALLY IS GIVING WEALTHY CONFIDENCE TO SPEND

[...]

"Especially for the target customers of luxury, you can expect that those people probably have a retail equity account, so they are seeing the benefits of the stock market rising and feeling more confident to spend more,"[said Bruno Lannes, senior partner at Bain in Shanghai].

Luxury brands that invested during the downturn are likely to win market share as spending stabilises, even if revenue does not significantly grow, said Jacques Roizen, managing director of China consulting at Digital Luxury Group.

The Hurun list, first published in 1999, tracks billionaires across mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan.

“To the surprise of many, the number of people on the Hurun rich list this year has reached an all-time high, largely driven by a strong rally in the stock markets,” said Rupert Hoogewerf, chairman and chief researcher of Hurun. “The emergence of new faces in the technology sectors and growing exports propelled an expansion of the billionaires’ club.”
