xml encoding="utf-8" ? Of all the things we'd like to do if we met Leonardo DiCaprio, we have to say that slapping him doesn't come up high on the list. However, Margot Robbie did just that in her   Wolf of Wall Street   audition, even though the move was entirely unscripted and unexpected. Still, it paid off pretty hard. Margot bagged the lead female role in the film, and Leonardo—though stunned—asked her to go ahead and slap him all over again. Speaking of the audition in   Time Magazine's   100 Most Influential People Issue, director Martin Scorsese applauded Margot for her handiwork.

Over the years, I have described agriculture as the economy's backbone. While I believe this to be true nearly everywhere, it's more especially so for the Philippine economy. Many might find it hard to agree, especially considering how by various measures, it has been our worst performing economic sector for decades now—that is, compared to the two other sectors of industry and services. For one, agriculture, forestry, and fishery (AFF) now accounts for less than a tenth (9.6 percent) of our gross domestic product (GDP), way down from one-third in the postwar years of 1946-1947.

Peering at his computer screen, Vincent Debets points out the minuscule movement of a large group of tiny spheres. These spheres and the theory of active matter led him to develop a model designed to better predict the behavior of various entities, among them cancer cells. Debets has spoken about his work on a previous occasion, for the BNR podcast Science Today. Some scientists study nice neat cells with protrusions and all sorts of organelles, but not him. He narrowed his focus down to a simple sphere.

Gilas Pilipinas coach Chot Reyes had very little to say about the shouting match between the Philippines and host Cambodia shortly after their Southeast Asian Games contest on Thursday night. Members of Gilas Pilipinas were seen confronting members of the opposing team and its head coach Harry Savaya towards the end of the 79-68 loss at Morodok Techo National Stadium in Phnom Penh. 'I just want to be polite. You all saw what happened. It's not even [about] coaching ethics—just ethics, right?' Reyes told reporters as he shook his head in disappointment.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Dante Moore threw for 290 yards and three touchdowns in his second college game and T.J. Harden had a 53-yard scoring run for UCLA, which used big plays to overpower the San Diego State Aztecs 35-10 on Saturday night. Moore, an 18-year-old from Detroit who completed 17 of 27 passes, appears to have won the quarterback competition against Ethan Garbers with the Bruins' Pac-12 opener coming up in two weeks against two-time defending champion Utah. The Bruins outgained the Aztecs 550 yards to 259 yards.
