Badminton player, 17, dies of cardiac arrest after collapsing during game

An "outstanding" 17-year-old Chinese badminton player died of cardiac arrest after collapsing on court during a tournament in Indonesia, officials said on Monday (Jul 1). Zhang Zhijie was suddenly taken ill during a match late Sunday against Japan's Kazuma Kawano at the Asia Junior Championships in Yogyakarta. The score was 11-11 in the first game when Zhang fell to the floor between points. The teenager received treatment at the venue and was rushed to hospital by ambulance, but passed away later that night after repeated efforts to resuscitate him failed. "Medical conclusions ... indicated that the victim experienced sudden cardiac arrest," Broto Happy, spokesman for the Badminton Association of Indonesia (PBSI), told a press conference in Yogyakarta. Zhang's parents were heading to the city to retrieve his body, he said. The spokesman defended the actions of medical staff and local organisers after footage showed what appeared to be a hesitant response to the teenager falling face down on the court. 

Millions of train passengers in uk hit by higher fares from today as operators axe popular super off-peak

The new fare structure, introduced by companies in the south in a bid to simplify pricing, abandons cheaper tickets and sets new evening peak hours.

It means higher prices will apply between 4 and 7pm, Monday to Friday for passengers travelling between Zones 1 and 9.

The rail operators affected by the change in fares will include c2c, Chiltern, Southeastern, London Northwestern Railway and South Western Railway.

Some Thameslink services which call at stations run by Southeastern will also be affected.

New changes explained

In preparation for the rollout of pay-as-you-go contactless ticketing, 53 stations in London and the southeast have made changes to their ticketing structure. 

To keep the price as similar as possible, companies have made various changes which affect the price of train fares and tickets.

In simple terms, this means: 

Single tickets now cost around half of a Return ticket  

Evening peak times will apply 16:00 to 19:00, Monday to Friday, from or via a London station for journeys where pay as you go with contactless will be available

No more Super Off-Peak tickets available on these routes, however the price of Off-Peak tickets have been reduced to reflect this

The rail operators affected include c2c, Chiltern, Southeastern, London Northwestern Railway and South Western Railway. Some Thameslink services which call at stations run by Southeastern will also be affected 

The new changes also include the roll out of single-leg pricing, which means a single fare will always be half the cost of a return. At present many return fares only cost marginally more than singles. 

Many passengers will be caught out by the changes, London TravelWatch said, although the watchdog welcomed the simplification with additional concern about new evening peak times.

Commuters who board the first off-peak train into London but return between those hours 4-7pm will no longer be able to travel on an off-peak day return ticket. 

Off-peak day travelcards, which include bus and Tube travel, will continue to be valid after 9.30am.

National Rail advice states: 'Depending on the day and time of your journey, it may be better value to buy two single tickets rather than a return ticket. 

'For example, if you make a peak journey in one direction and an off-peak journey in the other, then an anytime single plus an off-peak single will be cheaper than an anytime day return.'

The axing of super off-peak tickets, which affects some weekday tickets and all weekend ones, will also hit families travelling into the capital on Saturdays and Sundays.

Can crypto make the world a better place?

 

The crypto world has never shied away from making big promises, but as the industry matures and its audience widens, now’s a good time to take a step back and look at how the space is delivering on its vision.

How venture capitalists should be incentivizing the creation of more publicly beneficial blockchain infrastructure, and what still needs to be built.

Whether technology is enough to solve some of the societal problems blockchain developers and advocates are frequently passionate about.

While mainstream business may still be a ways off from adopting virtual currencies to the same degree that it has embraced traditional fiat currency, there are still some ways in which the cryptocurrency space has impacted (or may impact in the days to come) the world at large. Here are a few of those benefits, according to Nasdaq.

TikTok breaks records as top grossing app

These new findings, in a report published today by Sensor Tower, see TikTok again becoming the highest-grossing app in the world even as the overall market is seeing a slight decline. However, the report does combine TikTok revenue with its Chinese version, known as Douyin — so it’s technically the revenue generated by the two apps offering the same feature set of short-form, vertical videos — not one.

TikTok’s global app along with Douyin on iOS together retained the position as the top-grossing non-game app across the App Store and Google Play combined, with approximately $914.4 million in consumer spending in the quarter.

 Consumers reduced their mobile app spending in the third quarter of 2022 by roughly 5%, but the social video app TikTok just delivered another record-breaking quarter on this front. For the fourth straight quarter in a row, TikTok continued its streak as the app that has generated the most revenue in a quarter.
