s888 games The NFL has fined Seattle Seahawks cornerback Coby Bryant $6,594 for an unsportsmanlike penalty he received in Week 12's victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Bryant intercepted Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray midway through the third quarter and returned it for a touchdown. As Bryant crossed the goal line, he paid tribute to former Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch's famous "Beastquake" celebration NFL insider Tom Pelissero posted the play on X. The NFL fined #Seahawks CB Coby Bryant $6,594 for unsportsmanlike conduct (obscene gestures) — his Marshawn Lynch tribute with a crotch grab on the way into the end zone last week. pic.twitter.com/Krkb5y3def Getting fined for celebrations has been controversial among fans. Lynch was not fined or penalized when he first did the "Beastquake" celebration back in the 2011 postseason, however he was fined when he did it in 2014, which was also against the Cardinals. The NFL cited that Bryant made an obscene gesture by performing a "crotch grab." The amount of Bryant's fine is puzzling because Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams was charged $19,697 for the exact same celebration just two weeks ago. Bryant commented on getting penalized for it after the game. “Actually, I talk to my dad and my brother before every game and I just sensed the energy from those two before the game, and I told them once I get a pick-six I was doing [the Lynch celebration], because we’re playing the Cardinals and everything,” Bryant said. Bryant won't likely dwell on this. Seattle got the win, and Bryant was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week for his performance. The 6-5 Seahawks now leads the NFC West by a tiebreaker over the Cardinals. The two teams will meet again in Week 14 in what will be a pivotal matchup.

And, with shares of certain direct competitors, such as Eli Lilly ( LLY 0.91% ) , rising, the prevailing assumption seems to be that one company's stumble is another's gain. But is the market's reaction appropriate, or is this a good opportunity to buy the dip? Let's take a closer look at the situation to determine if this stock is still worth buying. The picture is far from being grim here Amgen is looking to compete in the all-important market for anti-obesity medicines, facing off against the reigning champions, Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk ( NVO 0.63% ) . Those two companies have blockbuster weight loss drugs on the market that you've probably heard of -- Lilly makes Zepbound, and Novo makes Wegovy. Both medicines are formulated as weekly injections. Over the course of 52 weeks of treatment, Zepbound helps patients lose on average 24% of their mass, whereas Wegovy has been shown in clinical trials to lead to a 14% reduction in mass. But patients tend to defect from treatment at high rates as a result of the difficult gastrointestinal side effects associated with both. Some estimates contend that discontinuation rates of these drugs are on the order of 50% after one year of treatment for obesity, though it's important to note that the issue is far from settled scientifically; other estimates specify discontinuation rates of anywhere from roughly 7% to 17%. So, Amgen has an opening to develop a drug that would beat the incumbents if its candidate excels in (at least) one of three areas: efficacy in causing weight loss, convenience in dosing, or tolerability (side effects). Per the results reported by Amgen, its program called MariTide, which just completed its phase 2 clinical trials, led to patients experiencing weight loss of 20% of their mass on average over the course of a year. Only 8% of patients discontinued treatment as a result of gastrointestinal side effects, and effects like nausea reduced significantly after the first dose. Phase 3 clinical trials of the candidate will soon commence. At a glance, it's easy to see why the market reacted so negatively. MariTide isn't dramatically more effective than the competition, and, viewing its tolerability data as conservatively as possible, it's comparable to the discontinuation rate data the other candidates produced in rigorous investigations. Still, it has a distinct advantage in convenience, as it only requires monthly dosing rather than weekly dosing. The market isn't entirely off base For investors trying to figure out whether to buy Amgen's stock, there's one question that cuts to the core of the issue with regard to MariTide. Could MariTide one day steal market share from the likes of Wegovy and Zepbound, given its somewhat mediocre mid-stage data? The answer to that question is unambiguously yes, for three reasons. First, Amgen has an entire phase 3 trial ahead to calibrate the dosing and timing of doses for MariTide. With the data it has in hand, it'll doubtlessly set out to investigate the ideal patient demographics in which the candidate is the most effective and the most tolerable. Second, current weight loss medicines target patients diagnosed with obesity, and not those who may not necessarily be obese but, nonetheless, fall within the overweight category. That's because for drug companies, the trade-off right now between developing a drug that patients can tolerate for extended periods, versus a magic drug that quickly addresses obesity, despite potential side effects, falls firmly in the latter category. Still, weight-loss drugs addressing obesity won't remain the only competitive market. People are eventually going to need more tolerable and more convenient interventions that are suitable for weight maintenance, or weight loss in cases other than obesity. MariTide could potentially fill that niche. Finally, everyone's bodies react differently to medicines. Patients who found Zepbound or Wegovy to be too uncomfortable to stay on, or ineffective for their needs, will need an alternative, and MariTide could be that alternative if it's commercialized one day. Therefore, with the above in mind, Amgen's stock is still worth buying on the dip . There's no guarantee that MariTide will be a blockbuster drug or a stunning success, but given the market's falling out with the stock, it's very likely that the candidate's potential positive impact on the company's finances is being undervalued.– In a new video she shared on social media , Pure Fusion Collective’s Sonya Deville expressed resentment over not being given a slot in the tournament for the inaugural WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship, also taking a shot at Dakota Kai, who did get a slot in the tournament.

Editors have highlightedthe following attributes while ensuring the content's credibility: fact-checked peer-reviewed publication reputable news agency proofread by Issam AHMED "Planet of the Apes" may have been onto something. Chimpanzees are steadily honing their tool-using skills—a process unfolding over millennia, driven by the exchange of ideas through migrations between populations, according to a new study published Thursday in Science . The finding in chimps—humans' closest living relatives—holds relevance for us too, as it supports the idea that, deep in the mists of time, our own ape ancestors leveraged social connections to improve their technologies, lead author Cassandra Gunasekaram told AFP. Scientists have long marveled at chimps' ability to pass down intricate behaviors, like tool use, from one generation to the next. Yet while human civilization has leapt from the Stone Age to the Space Age, chimpanzee "culture"—defined as socially learned behaviors—seemed to have remained static. Gunasekaram, a doctoral student at the University of Zurich, set out to challenge this assumption. Connections spark innovation She and colleagues combined genetic data tracing ancient chimpanzee migrations across Africa with observations of 15 distinct foraging behaviors across dozens of populations and the four subspecies. These behaviors were categorized into three levels: those requiring no tools, those with simple tools, like using chewed leaves as a sponge to absorb water from tree holes, and the most complex, which involve toolsets. One striking example of toolset use comes from Congo, where chimps use a stout stick to bore a tunnel into the ground to reach a termite nest, then modify a plant stem by chewing its tip into a brush to "fish" for termites in the tunnel they've made. The study found that advanced tool use strongly correlated with populations connected by genetic exchanges over the last 5,000–15,000 years, suggesting such behaviors spread when groups interacted. Areas where three subspecies overlap exhibited the most complex tool use, highlighting how cross-group connections foster cultural knowledge. By contrast, simpler behaviors, such as foraging without tools, seemed less tied to migration and likely evolved independently in different regions. Foraging efficiently Gunasekaram said this mirrors how trading ideas and incremental innovation have been critical to human technological progress, taking us from early abacuses to modern smartphones. "They've become so complex that one person alone could not reinvent them from scratch," she said. But unlike humans, chimps have far fewer opportunities to encounter new individuals and ideas—migrations occur gradually, driven by sexually mature females moving to new communities to avoid inbreeding. Analyzing ancient genetic flows helped the team overcome one of the biggest challenges in studying the evolution of chimpanzee culture: the limited window of observation, as the species has only been researched scientifically for about a century. What's more, "Chimpanzee tools are made of sticks and stems, which are all perishable," Gunasekaram explained, making it nearly impossible to trace how their artifacts have evolved over time. So, will chimps one day rival human ingenuity? Hardly. But given enough time, they could become more efficient foragers. For example, some populations are already more advanced in cracking nuts with hammers and anvils made of stone , and one particularly innovative group has even invented a stabilizer for the anvil, said Gunasekaram.

Vice President Kamala Harris made her first public appearance Thursday since her concession speech at Howard University, in Washington, on the morning of November 6. Harris was at the National Black Caucus of State Legislators (NBCSL) 48th Annual Legislative Conference. The VP made a brief address at the meeting and wished Merry Christmas. Meanwhile, just like in the days of the campaign, a fake-accent debate was started on social media, with allegations that the 60-year-old was again improvising her accent to appeal to a particular group of people. Her speech was criticised for allegedly having a fake accent: "Kamala briefly emerged from hiding today at the National Black Caucus of State Legislators conference. She also brought back the fake accent," one user wrote. The video sparked a range of reactions, with some calling the VP drunk to some wondering if she has already been indulging in holiday cheer. "Daaaaamn she drunk," one user wrote. "Clearly she's already been indulging in the holiday cheer," said another. "She is so fake. 🤦‍♂️" said one. "Who funds this bullshit conference? Why do they need to persist with segregating our government legislature?" added one. "So fake. Everyone saw through it," wrote another. "So now she's showing up at organizations 80% of the people in the country have never heard of maybe 90%," wrote another.
