The Bank of Japan's closely watched quarterly Tankan survey is considered the broadest indicator of how Japanese businesses are faring. It reports the difference between the percentage of firms that are upbeat and those that see conditions as unfavorable. A positive figure means more businesses feel optimistic than pessimistic. Among major manufacturers, business confidence rose to plus nine from plus five three months earlier, the survey showed. The headline figure — the highest level since June last year — came after the first improvement in seven quarters in July, and beat market expectations of plus six.

Six­teen mil­lion peo­ple will suf­fer strokes annu­al­ly, includ­ing 50,000 in Aus­tralia alone. Approximately 85 per cent of strokes are ischaemic, caused by a blood clot blocking an artery within the brain, which reduces blood flow to the brain . If not resolved within a few hours, irreversible brain damage can occur. Despite decades of research, there is currently only one emergency drug treatment, tPA, that can dissolve the dangerous blood clots in ischaemic stroke. Unfortunately, tPA can be used for only 10 per cent of stroke victims, leaving up to 90 per cent to suffer the devastating impacts of stroke.

The head of the Marcos administration's economic team fired three bullet-words that were aimed at shooting down a program he claims is wasting public funds. The spending is 'unwieldy, inefficient, and wasteful,' the official said. He could have hit the bullseye if he trained his guns at the billions in 'confidential and intelligence funds.' But he ended up demonstrating poor marksmanship when he instead aimed his munitions at the free college education program of the government. Department of Finance Secretary Benjamin Diokno called for a review and overhaul of the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act (Republic Act No.
