Fiat justitia, ruat caelum. Let justice be done, though the heavens fall. This Latin phrase is often used by judges and lawyers in their discussions to put forward the belief that rulings of the court must be followed, regardless of how difficult they are or what the consequences will be. But for 300,000 residents caught up in the ongoing turf war between the cities of Makati and Taguig, the consequences of the Supreme Court's April 2023 decision will be especially difficult to bear. 'Though the heavens fall' is a noble concept in the realm of ideas, but it feels very different on the ground for a Makati resident who—long accustomed to the most generous benefits, welfare, and social support system bestowed by any local government unit in the country—will be now thrust into the uncertain future of suddenly coming under the rule of a rival entity.

WASHINGTON -Recent banking sector turmoil is a reminder that work on reforms remains unfinished, and there is a need to 'consider whether deregulation may have gone too far,' US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Thursday. Yellen's speech, at a National Association for Business Economics conference, comes a day after US regulators charged with overseeing Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) acknowledged that they shared in the blame for its swift failure. SVB's collapse in March following a bank run sparked a broader sell-off of banking stocks, while authorities including the Federal Reserve and Treasury embarked on a coordinated effort to prevent contagion.

University of Colorado Boulder Illustration showing the electrons in a cloud of hafnium fluoride ions. (Credit: Steven Burrows/JILA) In the first moments of our universe, countless numbers of protons, neutrons and electrons formed alongside their antimatter counterparts. As the universe expanded and cooled, almost all these matter and antimatter particles met and annihilated each other, leaving only photons, or flashes of light, in their wake. And if the universe were perfectly symmetrical, with equal amounts of matter and antimatter, that would be the end of the story-and we would never have existed.

Kiama Council has endorsed the proposal to rename the suburb of Yellow Rock to Yellow Rock Ridge at this week's ordinary council meeting on 19 September. The proposal to rename the suburb, which is located in both Kiama and Shellharbour City Council LGAs, is to remedy the duplication of the suburb name Yellow Rock with another Yellow Rock in the Blue Mountains. Kiama and Shellharbour Councils undertook community consultation earlier this year to gauge support for the proposed name change. The Geographical Names Board of NSW (GNB) has the statutory responsibility to determine boundaries and names for suburbs and requires Council to endorse a name that has community support.
