STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Penn State players have watched make opponents look silly all season. They don’t want to be the next defenders Boise State’s star posterizes with jukes, spin moves, stiff arms and heavy shoulders. But they also know that slowing down Jeanty, who finished second in , will be their toughest task yet when the two teams meet in the College Football Playoff quarterfinal Fiesta Bowl on Dec. 31. “In any other year, I think the guy wins the Heisman,” Penn State coach James Franklin said. “You could make the argument that he should have won it this year. He is hard to tackle. He is compact, 5-(foot)-10, he has the ability to run away from you. He has the ability to make you miss.” Jeanty led the nation with 2,497 rushing yards on 344 carries this season. He scored more touchdowns (30) than any player since Najee Harris scored 30 times with Alabama in 2020. Additionally, Jeanty’s yards after contact (1,889) exceed every FBS running backs’ rushing total since Oklahoma State’s Chuba Hubbard led the NCAA with 2,094 total rushing yards in 2019. Jeanty also forced an NCAA-record 143 missed tackles this season. The junior did it all behind an offensive line that has been forced to shuffle its parts in the wake of numerous injuries. Only left tackle Kage Casey and left guard Ben Dooley have started every game up front for the Broncos this season. “He’s a beast in terms of his production on the field, but then also his durability,” Franklin said. “There’s not too many people that are able to get clean shots on him. All of it is super impressive. But I think the stat that I mentioned earlier, the most impressive stat is the yards after contact.” This could be Jeanty’s biggest challenge to date, too. Although he’s helped Boise State churn out 250 rushing yards per game, good for fifth among FBS programs, the Nittany Lions are well stocked to defend the run. Their defense is seventh nationally allowing just 100 rushing yards per game and has tightened up down the stretch. In its last six games, Penn State is allowing just 2.7 yards per rush and has only given up three rushing touchdowns, two coming in against No. 1 Oregon. “They’ve had our backs throughout the whole year,” Penn State quarterback Drew Allar said. “They have made me a lot better throughout the year, just going against the best defense in America and just glad I got to go against them every day in practice and not against them out on the field in a game setting.” In the opening round of the CFP, Penn State held SMU to just 58 rushing yards on 36 carries. Meanwhile, the Nittany Lions notched 11 of their 50 tackles for loss over the last six games against the Mustangs. Most of those came from a defensive line that regularly rotates run-stuffing tackles Zane Durant, Dvon J-Thomas and Coziah Izzard between dynamic ends Abdul Carter and Dani Dennis-Sutton. Carter alone has 21 1/2 of his team’s 102 stops behind the line of scrimmage this year. He’s hoping to add a few against Jeanty and stay off the star back’s own long-running highlight reel. “I’m living in my dreams,” Carter said. “I’m having the most fun I ever had playing football and I’ve been playing since I was 8 years old. I’m very blessed. I’m just very humbled to have this opportunity. I just want to keep taking advantage of all the opportunities that I have.”The SteelSeries Stratus Duo controller is a hybrid gamepad. Indeed, the ‘Duo’ refers to the fact that you can switch between both Bluetooth and 2.4G connectivity on the go, for gaming on either Android or PC. The Stratus Duo is one of three controllers SteelSeries offers, each designed for different platforms. The Duo’s sibling controller, the Stratus+, is available for an extra $40 — dropping the 2.4G adapter support, it instead includes a phone mount built into the gamepad, making it better if you exclusively game on mobile. The Stratus is a versatile gamepad thanks to its neat connectivity features and Hall Effect triggers. However, it uses disappointingly drift-prone ALPS thumbsticks, and some of its construction materials are cheap. While the case has some minimalistic charm, it doesn’t pair well with the very poor quality of the face buttons. So, is the superior connectivity of the Duo worth your money, despite some performance shortcomings? Find out in my full SteelSeries Stratus Duo review. SteelSeries Stratus Duo Controller review: Cheat Sheet SteelSeries Stratus Duo Controller review: Specs SteelSeries Stratus Duo Controller review: The ups The Stratus Duo offers features that make it a worthy upgrade over your phone screen or even a basic first-party Xbox or PlayStation controller while keeping a comfortable and sleek design that works well with phones. Comfortable grip The Stratus Duo features the best of both worlds when it comes to the grip. It features a PlayStation-like symmetrical thumbstick configuration, which as a long-time DualShock 4 user, is my preference. It has a much ‘taller’ case which is a perfect fit for my palms and more comfortable than a traditional DualShock controller, so fans of the taller Xbox-style design will feel at home here too. The Stratus might be too big for those with smaller hands, though, making the analog toggles for the power and connectivity settings less accessible. The more expensive GameSir Tarantula Pro sticks closer to the traditional DualShock format but still manages to edge out the Stratus Duo in terms of comfort thanks to the more rounded grips. However, neither controller causes me any severe discomfort even during long gaming sessions. The front of the Stratus is slightly depressed inwards. I found this didn’t interfere too much with how I held the controller, although it certainly felt different than most other DualShock-inspired controllers. Minimalist design The controller’s plastic chassis also enhances its comfortability. It's a high-quality plastic with a slight texture that’s soft to the touch. The case is also durable, with a weighty and substantive feeling that justifies the controller's asking price. Sadly, the premium quality of the case is undermined by the rather poor face buttons, but I’ll talk about those later. I’m a fan of the lighting that indicates power status, with the 4 white LEDs complementing the white highlights on the center buttons. It’s a shame the minimalistic lighting isn’t used elsewhere on the controller, such as on the underwhelming ABXY buttons. This would have given the Stratus Duo a stronger identity beyond its dark, graphite casing. Hall Effect triggers The controller utilizes Hall Effect magnetic triggers, which allows for increased accuracy and a smoother motion versus the analog triggers you’ll find on a first-party controller. The triggers are great for racing games on PC and Mobile, where the precise trigger control and smooth motion help you modulate the throttle. Hall Effect triggers are also my go-to for arcade flight games like Ace Combat and Project Wingman, allowing me to adjust my acceleration with pinpoint accuracy. Firing up my afterburners doesn’t get much more satisfying than with a great Hall effect trigger. Connectivity The namesake feature of the gamepad is its dual wireless connectivity. The Stratus Duo supports wireless 2.4G as well as Bluetooth and Wired. This lets you simply leave the wireless adapter plugged into your PC while you game on your phone over Bluetooth, and then flip the switch to immediately connect to your PC. This is ideal for anyone who wants to play on their phone while waiting to connect to their next PC game, or anyone who finds themselves gaming both on both platforms. It's uncommon for mobile controllers to come with a 2.4G dongle, but it’s very welcome and makes the Duo a versatile gamepad. Playing games on my PC over 2.4G felt snappier than with a Bluetooth connection. Exclusively mobile gamers will still enjoy this gamepad, as it’s a big upgrade over touch controls and supports connectivity to Samsung Gear VR, among other headsets. Battery Battery life is another strong aspect and perfectly complements the controller’s wireless, on-the-go ethos. The battery lasts for over 20 hours without charging, completely blowing away the terrible battery life of first-party controllers like the Sony DualSense Edge . This longevity is on par with excellent third-party Pro controllers like the Razer Wolverine V3 ($199). SteelSeries Stratus Duo Controller review: The downs Unfortunately, a few issues hold back the Stratus Duos. Analog thumbsticks are a disappointing choice when there are cheaper competitors with Hall Effect sticks, and the cheap-feeling buttons undermine the strong build quality. No Hall Effect sticks The Stratus Duo opts for analog thumbsticks instead of the increasingly common Hall Effect sticks, which makes the controller vulnerable to stick drift. The ALPS analog thumbsticks are traditional thumbsticks that rely on a physical mechanism rather than magnets to report movements. This mechanism can wear down over time, causing the thumbsticks to ‘drift,’ creating false movements while not in use. Hall Effect sticks avoid this by not having any physical contact, which increases the overall longevity of the controller significantly. Additionally, the physical mechanism in the thumbsticks has a roughness to movement that you don’t get with Hall Effect. While you might prefer this, I found it annoying since it hampered consistency and accuracy. I tested the controller on Call of Duty Mobile and found the rough thumbsticks hindered by fine control and accuracy. Be warned, as the lack of Hall Effect thumbsticks are not clearly laid out in the marketing for the controller — the graphic accompanying the Hall Effect description shows both the thumbstick and the trigger in action, but only the trigger supports this technology. It's also important to point out that there are similarly priced alternatives available with Hall Effect thumbsticks and triggers, such as the GameSir G7 SE ($44), or the plastic version of the PB Tails Crush ($45) which boasts TMR (an upgraded Hall Effect). Low-quality buttons The Stratus Duo’s face buttons are at odds with the overall quality of the controller. They almost look like a manufacturing error. The legends for the ABXY buttons are a faded tone of grey that’s hard to make out, especially in low light (in our studio photography, they stand out well, but that’s because we use a professional lighting setup). This all makes the buttons look tacky, and misaligned with the white highlighted Select, Start and Home buttons in the middle of the gamepad. There are some color indicators on the controller, though. Four small colored dots indicate the typical Xbox button colors, but I would have preferred actual colored buttons or that they matched the white highlighted center controls. Crucially, the buttons feel horrible to press. They’re mushy to the touch and very unsatisfying. I prefer the satisfying feedback of micro switches, although these are usually only seen on Pro gamepads like the Razer Wolverine V3 . However, even the membrane buttons on gamepads like the GameSir G7 SE perform much better than the Stratus Duo’s. The G7 buttons give an affirmative ‘tap’ when pressed, which makes them feel much more responsive. And while they look nice, the center buttons feel even worse than the face buttons. These are placed in a depression on the controller, making them difficult to press during gameplay. Sure, you won’t be using them as frequently as the other face buttons, but it’s frustrating having to stretch and use the very tips of my fingers to pause the game. Poor D-Pad If you’re a fan of the retro games available on mobile, you’ll likely rely on the D-Pad instead of the thumbsticks for accurate movements. Sadly, the D-Pad is the weakest element of the Stratus Duo’s controls, and it was already a pretty low bar. Each press of the D-Pad is very shallow, while also feeling mushy like the face buttons. Holding a direction doesn’t feel very secure, with a wide contact area that melts right into the case when pressing down. This is fine when using the D-pad for quick commands, such as in Call of Duty Mobile, but using to control my character in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night was not a very satisfying or responsive experience at all. Lack of features While I love the dual connectivity, the controller is a little barebones when compared to similarly-priced controllers. The lack of any extra buttons is disappointing, as I would have loved to see back paddles on a controller with this layout. The GameSir G7 SE, for example, has assignable back paddles. Of course, you will have to sacrifice the Stratus Duo’s excellent wireless connectivity features to access this, as well as mobile support. Additionally, the Hall Effect triggers aren’t Hair Triggers, a feature that shortens the distance that the triggers travel before activating. This is a common feature I’ve seen on other (cheaper) Hall Effect controllers such as those on the GameSir Kaleid ($41). The longer throw of standard triggers is perfect for racing titles like Asphalt, but for shooters like Fortnite and Call of Duty Mobile, hair triggers are best. SteelSeries Stratus Duo Controller review: Verdict Overall, the Stratus Duo is a mixed bag. It had so much potential but is held back by some of its most important functions. Poor buttons and analog thumbsticks in particular put the Stratus behind the competition. A few more gaming features like hair triggers or back paddles may have made this more forgivable, but these are lacking too. The excellent connectivity features mean the controller could still be worth picking up when on sale or at the reduced price commonly seen at Amazon . At the $59 retail price, however, it’s difficult to recommend giving the Stratus Duo a shot.jiliko app login registration 。

President Biden and first lady Jill Biden brought together researchers, investors and advocates Wednesday for the White House's first ever research conference on women's health. "The National Institutes of Health is using their funding to break down the silos," President Biden said during the event. "For example, we know that heart disease is the leading cause of death for women. But we don't know enough about how menopause may affect heart disease, and that's going to change." The Biden Administration launched an initiative last year to focus on Women's Health Research. And according to the White House, in the last year they "galvanized nearly $1 billion in funding to close gaps in research on women's health. These investments will advance research to improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases and conditions." In the spring, President Biden also signed an executive order that directed federal agencies to expand and accelerate research into not just women-specific health issues, but how to prevent, diagnose and treat conditions uniquely for women. "The goal was to fundamentally change and improve how we approach and invest in women's health research," he said. "To pioneer the next generation of scientific research and discoveries that are going to improve care women receive all across the country. Because the fact is the health of our moms and grandmothers, sisters and daughters, friends and colleagues, affects not just women's well-being but the prosperity of the entire nation." RELATED STORY | Who decides health care costs? This group recommends how doctors should be paid The gender gap in medical research extends to both the public and private sectors. A recent report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine found "Despite having a longer life expectancy than men, women spend more years living with a disability and in poor health:" roughly 25% more time than men in poor health. It also found that grant funding from the NIH on women's health research between fiscal years 2013-2023 averaged only about 9 percent of its total research spending. It was not until 1993 that it was required for women and minorities to be included in clinical research funding the National Institutes of Health. Prior to that they had not just been excluded but for a period outright banned. In 1977 the FDA created a guideline that prohibited the inclusion of women of reproductive age from participating in phase 1 and phase II clinical trials following the use of the sedative Thalidomide, which caused birth defects. Today, researchers have found biological discrepancies in areas like heart disease and Alzheimer's, but differences in treatment and risk. "A new future can ring out from this conference," First Lady Jill Biden told attendees. "One that answers the call from women who have been waiting for too long. Let this be the moment that we push harder. The moment that people say change the world of women's health forever." Both the President and First lady emphasized that this is the starting point, not the finish line. And Dr. Biden said she plans to continue to build alliances and push for funding after she laves the White House, as well.NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are climbing Thursday after market superstar Nvidia and another round of companies said they’re making even fatter profits than expected. The S&P 500 was pulling 0.7% higher, as of 2:45 p.m. Eastern time, after flipping between modest gains and losses several times in the morning. Banks, smaller companies and other areas of the stock market that tend do best when the economy is strong helped lead the way, while bitcoin briefly broke above $99,000. Crude oil, meanwhile, continued to rise. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 532 points, or 1.2%, and the Nasdaq composite gained 0.2%. Nvidia's rise of 1.4% was the strongest force pushing the S&P 500 upward after yet again beating analysts’ estimates for profit and revenue. It also gave a forecast for revenue in the current quarter that topped most analysts’ expectations thanks to voracious demand for its chips used in artificial-intelligence technology. Its stock initially sank in afterhours trading Wednesday following the release of the results. Some investors said the market might have been looking for Nvidia's revenue forecast to surpass expectations by even more. But its stock recovered in premarket trading Thursday, and Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said it was another “flawless” profit report provided by Nvidia and CEO Jensen Huang, whom Ives calls “the Godfather of AI.” How Nvidia’s stock performs has tremendous impact because it’s quickly grown into Wall Street’s most valuable company at roughly $3.6 trillion. Its meandering up and down through the day dragged the S&P 500 and other indexes back and forth. The frenzy around AI is sweeping up other stocks, and Snowflake jumped 32.3% after reporting stronger results for the latest quarter than analysts expected. The company, whose platform helps customers get a better view of all their silos of data and use AI, also reported stronger revenue growth than expected. BJ’S Wholesale Club rose 9.1% after likewise delivering a bigger profit than expected. That may help calm worries about how resilient U.S. shoppers can remain, given high prices across the economy and still-high interest rates. A day earlier, Target tumbled after reporting sluggish sales in the latest quarter and giving a dour forecast for the holiday shopping season. It followed Walmart , which gave a much more encouraging outlook. Nearly 90% of the stocks in the S&P 500 were also rising, and the gains were even bigger among smaller companies. The Russell 2000 index of smaller stocks jumped a market-leading 1.9%. Google’s parent company, Alphabet, helped keep indexes in check. It fell 5.5% after U.S. regulators asked a judge to break up the tech giant by forcing it to sell its industry-leading Chrome web browser. In a 23-page document filed late Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Justice called for sweeping punishments that would include restrictions preventing Android from favoring its own search engine. Regulators stopped short of demanding Google sell Android but left the door open to it if the company’s oversight committee continues to see evidence of misconduct. Drops for other Big Tech stocks also weighed on the market, including a 2.4% slide for Amazon. In stock markets abroad, shares of India’s Adani Enterprises plunged 22.6% Thursday after the U.S. charged founder Gautam Adani, 62, in a federal indictment with securities fraud and conspiracy to commit securities and wire fraud. The businessman and one of the world’s richest people is accused of duping investors by concealing that his company’s huge solar energy project on the subcontinent was being facilitated by an alleged bribery scheme. Indexes elsewhere in Asia and Europe were mixed. In the crypto market, bitcoin eclipsed $99,000 for the first time before easing back to roughly $98,250, according to CoinDesk. It’s more than doubled so far this year, and its climb has accelerated since Election Day. President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to make the country “the crypto capital of the planet” and create a “strategic reserve” of bitcoin. Bitcoin also got a boost after Gary Gensler, the chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission who has pushed for more protection for crypto investors, said he would step down in January . Bitcoin and related investments, of course, have a notorious history of big price swings in both directions. MicroStrategy, a company that's been raising cash expressly to buy bitcoin, saw an early gain of 14.6% for its stock on Thursday quickly disappear. It was most recently down 10.7%. In the oil market, a barrel of benchmark U.S. crude rose 2% to bring its gain for the week to 4.8%. Brent crude, the international standard, climbed 1.8%. Oil has been rising amid escalations in the Russia-Ukraine war. In the bond market, Treasury yields edged higher following some mixed reports on the U.S. economy. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.43% from 4.41% late Wednesday. One report said fewer U.S. workers applied for unemployment benefits last week in the latest signal that the job market remains solid. Another report, though, said manufacturing in the mid-Atlantic region unexpectedly shrank. Sales of previously occupied homes, meanwhile, strengthened last month by more than expected.

George will be re-evaluated in a few days to see where things stand on the injury. ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania reported the news on social media. Philadelphia 76ers star Paul George has a bone bruise in his left knee and is listed out for the next two games. He will be re-evaluated on Monday. pic.twitter.com/vxKeON5z78 George suffered the injury during the 76ers game on Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The star forward got injured in the second half of the game and didn't return. After the fact, 76ers head coach Nick Nurse assumed that the issue was a bone bruise but couldn't comment too much on it. Nurse did say that George may have been able to return to the court but the team decided against it. "I think they said it was similar to last time, which was a bone bruise, I think," Nurse said . "He was actually fairly close to coming back in the game, but then it kind of stiffened up as he got out a little bit more, so I decided not to, and now we got to take a look at it, make sure." The game against the Grizzlies was the first time that Philadelphia had all of their three All-Star players together on the court in George, center Joel Embiid and point guard Tyrese Maxey. But fate had other ideas and that dream ended fairly quickly. It has been a nightmare season for the 76ers as they sit with a record of 2-12 currently. The franchise has seen each star miss time due to an injury already this year, so this issue with George has to be frustrating. "Listen, it's certainly not easy," Nurse said . "Tyrese just getting back and didn't really have a feel tonight, and Paul going out. Certainly not easy ... but we didn't put enough together again for 48 [minutes of game time]." The 76ers spent heavily over the offseason to bring George to Philadelphia to pair him alongside Embiid and Maxey. They were seen as one of the favorites in the Eastern Conference this season but injuries have completely derailed those plans. Thankfully, it seems that George may have dodged a massive bullet with this issue but due to his injury history, Philadelphia will likely be cautious in allowing him to return. For now, all the 76ers can do is take things one game at a time as they try to climb out of this massive hole that they have dug for themselves to start the year. For more 76ers and NBA news, head over to Newsweek Sports.

A review outlines essential practices for UK businesses to enhance their online protection and explains the concept of cyber hygiene and its importance. This comes in the wake of 2023, when 32 percent of UK businesses reported experiencing a cyberattack at least once a week, with cyberattacks projected to increase by 15 percent globally. Recent data reveals that 50 percent of businesses encountered a cyberattack or security breach in the past year. This is based on the UK Government Cybersecurity Breaches Survey. In light of recent cyber threats, Milan Bosman, Commercial Director from e-commerce hosting provider Hypernode , has explained to Digital Journal about the significance of cyber hygiene for UK businesses and share essential practices to ensure online safety. What is cyber hygiene? Cyber hygiene can be explained as a set of practices to maintain system health and security in relation to a business’s online activities. Like physical hygiene, maintaining cyber hygiene entails a set of regular preventative measures. Five key practices Antivirus and antimalware software Installing antivirus and antimalware is an obvious place to start for protecting against cyber threats. These tools help detect malicious programs that can compromise data. Viruses and malware are constantly evolving, so it is important to also keep this protective software up to date. Be cautious of phishing Phishing is a common cyber-attack in which criminals use deceptive emails, messages, or websites to trick individuals into providing sensitive information. It is by far the most common type of cybercrime, with 90 percent of businesses that have experienced at least one type of cybercrime falling victim to phishing. Awareness and caution around possible phishing scams is crucial within all businesses. Back up and encrypt data Backing up important data and storing it securely will be helpful in the event of a data loss or ransomware attack. Particularly sensitive data, meanwhile, ought to be encrypted to ensure it can only be accessed by authorised parties. Secure Wi-Fi, strong passwords, and MFA While seemingly obvious, these three simple steps, which are often neglected, are absolutely key to good cyber hygiene. Unsecured Wi-Fi networks are vulnerable to attack from cybercriminals who may intercept data or gain access to internal systems. Similarly, weak passwords are susceptible to being hacked. Strong, unique passwords that are different for each online account should be used. MFA ( Multi-factor authentication ) adds a layer of security to data and internal systems, keeping out anyone who should not be able to access them. Educating all employees Perhaps the most important point is that a business’s security is only as strong as its weakest link, and a cyber-attack can target any employee. Providing cybersecurity training to all employees is crucial to ensuring the security of a business as a whole.
