MGM Resorts International said on Thursday a cyberattack last month that disrupted its operations would cause a $100 million hit to its third-quarter results, as it works to restore its systems. One of the world's largest gambling firms, MGM shut down its systems after detecting the attack to contain damage, it said. It expects to also incur less than $10 million as a related one-time cost in the quarter ended on Sept. 30. After the attack last month, customers posted social media images showing slot machines with error messages and queues at hotels in Las Vegas.

Until now, there has been a broad consensus that the human adolescent growth spurt in body length is evolutionarily unique and absent in other primates. However, such adolescent growth spurt occurs in many primate species in body weight, including humans. The study published in the journal eLife suspected and confirmed that the reason for this divergence could be methodological issues. Mind the scale... In their scientific work, the researchers used three approaches: They first outlined how scaling problems and incorrect comparisons between growth rates of body length (linear) and weight (volume) can lead to misleading interpretations, effectively comparing apples to oranges.

Energy The data giant says it's giving back to New Zealand – giving back renewable electricity, giving back water, giving back jobs and investment. What it's not giving back is much in the way of tax. Analysis: It's little wonder Amazon needs to get a wriggle on with powering up its new data centres.   Locally-owned cloud storage providers have watched with some dismay as the tech superpower has snaffled up some of the country's biggest companies and government departments as customers. Air NZ, ANZ, BNZ, Contact Energy, Vodafone, Datacom and Xero are all customers.

What if treating obesity could be as easy as popping an effective pill? That's a notion that has long fueled hope for many of the more than 40percent of Americans who are considered obese — and fueled criticism by those who advocate for wider weight acceptance. Soon, it may be a reality. High-dose oral versions of the medication in the weight-loss drug Wegovy may work as well as the popular injections when it comes to paring pounds and improving health, according to final results of two studies released Sunday night.

New York City, US – From Libya to Greece, Hawaii to China and beyond, the impacts of climate change are being felt on every continent leading to rising death tolls, ruined livelihoods and nature destruction. Despite hundreds of thousands mobilising around the world demanding urgent climate action, the major emitters of greenhouse gas emissions are still not acting with "whole of government" approaches, which the climate emergency demands. For the Climate Ambition Summit, the UN Secretary-General António Guterres made clear this was a meeting for "first movers and doers" and the price of entry was "credible, serious and new climate action" that moves the needle forward and responds to the urgency of the climate crisis.

MANILA, Philippines — A military reservist acted as the 'casting director' in the killing of Negros Oriental Gov. Roel Degamo and nine others, Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla said Monday. The suspect, which Remulla said is considered one of the masterminds, is Marvin Halaman Miranda. Miranda is responsible for the recruitment of persons that would be part of the attack as well as the firearms that would be used. 'Hindi middleman ‘yun. Tingin namin ano, parang mastermind na rin siya kasi siya ‘yung kausap lagi na kumuha ng tao, kumuha ng armas, pati yung mag re-recruit ng tao; pati yung number ng tao na huling dumating nung, plinaplano nila.
