Amazing bench performance by Russell Westbrook and his effort inspires Lakers fans.
Darvin Ham, the Lakers’ coach, was hopeful that a fresh plan would help his club win its opening game of the season against the Timberwolves tonight.
While the Lakers lost again (bringing their record to 0-5 overall), there was some hope at the end of the tunnel. Russell Westbrook, in particular, stood out.
Season-Opening First Game: Russell Westbrook Explosive Performance
In what has typically been a disappointing season for Westbrook, he played well on Friday, scoring 18 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 assists. After his bench debut, supporters couldn’t help but be optimistic on Twitter.
Westbrook is most effective with the ball in his hands, and coming off the bench allows him to do so as the offense’s orchestrator. It’s no surprise that he was successful with the second unit.
The question is how he will adapt to a permanent bench role.
The answer, according to Kendrick Perkins, isn’t good.
In a recent appearance on NBA Today, league analyst (and former big man) Kendrick Perkins stated unequivocally that he does not believe Westbrook will handle the situation well.
“This is an audition for Russell Westbrook,” Perkins explained. “Not only to help the Lakers win games but also because the rest of the world will be watching to see how he handles this issue. And I honestly don’t think he’ll be able to manage it well. Remember, he missed the previous game due to a hamstring injury, which he blamed on Darvin Ham and the coaching staff for forcing him to come in off the bench because he wasn’t used to it. I can tell you right now that Russell Westbrook is not pleased with the scenario, and this is simply the beginning of the end for Russell Westbrook and the Los Angeles Lakers.”
Westbrook is having a poor season by his standards, averaging 10.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game, and the Lakers will need more from him if they are to salvage this season. Tonight was a promising start, but it eventually proved ineffective.
For the time being, all they can do is put out what they have, hope for the best, and wait for the opportunity to make the move they believe is best for them.

Elon Musk finally completed his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter Inc., according to people who are familiar with this matter, the world’s richest man takes charge after long time of 6 months struggle with public and legal wrangling over the deal for the social network
Now Twitter will operate as a private company and the shareholders will be paid $54.20 per share.
The conclusion brings to an end a complicated process that commenced in January with the billionaire quietly accumulating a sizable investment in the company, his developing expression of how the way it’s handled and run, and an eventual merger agreement that he later spent months trying to unravel.
Musk agreed to proceed on his originally proposed terms On Oct. 4, and a Delaware Chancery Court judge gave the two sides until Oct. 28 to close the deal. That deadline was met, and now the CEO of both Tesla Inc. and SpaceX Elon Musk, also takes control of Twitter, a service he uses frequently but openly criticizes, and he has promised to modify dramatically. Stocks of the company’s shares are no longer expected to trade on the New York Stock Exchange.
As the deadline is close, Musk began to stamp his mark on the company, posting a video of himself entering the headquarters and changing his profile descriptor on the platform he now owns to “Chief Twit.” He planned to address the staff on Friday and arranged the meetings in between Tesla Engineers and product leadership at Twitter. According to the people, Twitter’s developers could no longer make modifications to code as of noon Thursday in San Francisco, as part of an effort to guarantee that nothing about the product changes until the deal closes.
Now Twitter will operates as private company and the shareholders will be paid $54.20 per share.
Since the merger was revealed in April, Twitter staff have been bracing for layoffs, and Musk mentioned the concept of cost cutbacks to banking partners when he was initially fundraising for the deal. A person familiar with the subject earlier this month told some possible investors that Musk aims to reduce 75% of Twitter’s employees, which now numbers around 7,500, and expects revenue to double within three years.
According to people familiar with the matter said, while visiting the headquarters on Wednesday, Musk told all employees of Twitter that he does not intend to lay off 75% of the company’s employees when he takes over.
During an all-hands meeting in June following his acquisition deal, Musk stated that Twitter “needs to get healthy,” a reference to cost-cutting. He has also stated that only “extraordinary” employees will be permitted to work from home, with everyone else required to come to the office. Twitter, situated in San Francisco, was one of the first significant corporations to guarantee all employees the ability to work from anywhere “forever.”
Twitter has assisted him in some of his efforts. In May, the company declared a hiring freeze, shuttered or downsized many locations worldwide, and canceled a companywide trip to Disneyland in 2023.
It was long assumed that Agrawal would step down once Musk took over. Text conversations revealed during the case suggest that the two men had a contentious discussion early in the process, and Musk later criticized Agrawal for being on vacation in Hawaii during some of the early negotiations. Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey’s efforts to get them back together after the merger was announced ended poorly.
The last six months have been difficult for Twitter employees, who have mostly followed the ups and downs of the roller-coaster agreement via news headlines.
Announced by Egypt’s central bank on Thursday that it raised the key interest rates by 2% and switched to a more flexible exchange rate system in a bid to combat the country’s mounting economic issues.
Egypt is trying to secure a new loan from the International Monetary Fund after its economic woes deepened due to the war in Ukraine. The fund has long been urging Egypt to allow greater exchange rate flexibility.
The bank’s Monetary Policy Committee said in a statement that it had raised the new lending rate to 14.25% and the deposit rate to 13.25%. The discount rate was also raised to 13.75%, it said.

The coronavirus pandemic and the war in Ukraine, which have disrupted international markets and raised oil and food prices globally, have had a significant negative impact on the Egyptian economy. The majority of the wheat Egypt imports comes from Russia and Ukraine, making it the largest importer in the world. The nation’s supply is susceptible to shifts in price on the global market.
The National Bank of Egypt supplied data showing that after the bank’s announcement, the value of the Egyptian Pound decreased from roughly 19.75 Pounds to a Dollar to at least 22.50 Pounds to a Dollar.
The bank stated, “Egypt is committed to stepping up its reform agenda to ensure macroeconomic stability and promote strong, sustainable, and inclusive growth.”

Slowing Chip Demand:
The company’s decision is being accompanied by chipmakers’ preparation for a decrease in demand after a surge at the height of a global chip scarcity.
Due to sluggish demand, Samsung Electronics on Thursday reported a 31% decline in profit and predicted that it would remain low until early 2023.
After Samsung, SK Hynix, and Advanced Micro Devices released gloomy estimates for the near future, chip stocks have fallen this month.

Rishi Sunak is set to become Britain’s next prime minister after winning the Conservative leadership election. This makes him the most powerful person in the country. The 42-year-old former Treasury Secretary and investment banker are already one of the richest people in the UK, thanks largely to the wealth of his wife Akshata Murthy.
The 42-year-old Murthy is the daughter of N.R. Narayana Murthy, co-founder and former chairman of the Indian tech giant Infosys, which Forbes values at $4.5 billion. The great majority of her and Sunak’s combined wealth consists of her own $715 million 0.93% ownership in the publicly traded digital services consulting company. More than a quarter of a billion dollars wealthier than the $500 million personal fortune of King Charles III, Forbes estimates Sunak and his wife Murthy to be worth about $810 million. An inquiry for comment was not immediately answered by Sunak or Murthy.
As the new Prime Minister, Sunak will now move to 10 Downing Street, next to his former residence when he was Prime Minister for Boris Johnson from February 2020 until July this year. He will also have access to Checkers, the 16th-century incumbent Prime Minister’s campaign retreat in Buckinghamshire.
The largest property in their collection is the Manor House, a heritage-listed two-story 19th-century country mansion in the village of Kirby Sigston in North Yorkshire, which they purchased in July 2015 for 2.3. millions of dollars. The couple are said to have spent $450,000 setting up a recreation center with a 40ft pool, gym, and outdoor tennis court.

Murthy faced scrutiny over her tax status earlier this year when Sunak served as Chancellor of the Exchequer, Britain’s finance minister, and No 2 job in government. As an Indian citizen, Murthy is a tax resident of her country and she confirmed in April that she has ‘non-resident’ status in the UK, which allows her to avoid taxes on dividends and capital gains in the UK. Through a spokeswoman, Murthy told the BBC she pays around $34,000 a year to maintain the status, a fee charged if a person has lived in the UK for at least seven of the previous nine years.
Forbes estimates Murthy earned $70 million (before taxes) in dividends from Infosys between 2015 and 2022, plus $17 million from the December 2017 stock sale. India taxes dividends and interest. long-term capital at 10%, compared with 20% on capital gains and 39.35% dividends for the top earners. That means Murthy could have saved around $22 million in taxes by taking advantage of India’s lower tax rate. Following public outcry, his spokesman announced in April that Murty would begin paying UK tax on his gross income, including dividends and capital gains, “immediately” and for the previous tax year.
Murthy has also invested in his native India through a company in Mauritius, an island nation in the Indian Ocean often described as a tax haven. It holds a 5% stake in International Market Management, a British company that owns 100% of the shares of Mauritian Immassociates Mauritius. According to a Guardian investigation, Immassociates Mauritius owns 50% of Sierra Nevada Restaurants, an Indian company that operates four Wendy`s restaurants in New Delhi, as well as 100% of Dolomite Restaurants, which owns 11 franchises in New Delhi. India by famous British chef Jamie Oliver,restaurant chain’s. Investing through a Mauritius-based company may have allowed the company’s shareholders to limit capital gains and share tax bills, according to an expert analysis from the Internal Revenue Service of India.
Born in Southampton to parents of Indian descent from East Africa, Sunak attended the exclusive boarding school of the University of Winchester and served as a waitress at an Indian restaurant during the summer holidays. He then studied politics, philosophy, and economics at Oxford University, before starting a three-year stint at Goldman Sachs. After earning his MBA at Stanford in 2006, he later became a partner at the London-based hedge fund The Children’s Investment Fund (TCIF), founded and run by billionaire Chris Hohn.
Sunak left TCIF in 2009 to join Santa Monica-based Theleme Partners, a fund founded by former TCIF co-founder Patrick Degorce. Sunak owns less than 5% of the company, which has $2.2 billion in assets under management according to the last available disclosure form filed in February 2013. He left Theleme in 2013 to found Catamaran Ventures UK with his wife, Akshata.
It’s not clear how much Sunak has earned in the financial sector, but his new prime ministership comes with a huge pay rise: he’ll now earn more than $185,000 a year, nearly double the $95,000 his him as a congressman.

“Rising Interest in Cosmetic Operations Globally Fuels the Market”
Dermal filler market growth will be supported throughout the projected period by an expanding network of healthcare facilities offering cutting-edge aesthetic treatments and improved infrastructure. The number of clinics, medical spas, and centers for rejuvenation has significantly increased in recent years both in industrialized and developing countries. Thus, the rapid adoption of various non-invasive treatments offered by these facilities owing to the benefits including the cost-effectivity and shorter treatment duration will propel the industry growth. Furthermore, escalating number of skilled professionals such as dermatologists and plastic surgeons will further augment the industry expansion.
According to the recent study published by the Quintile Insights, The Dermal fillers market is expected to reach USD 9.45 billion by 2030; expanding at a CAGR of 7.44%. This is owing to recent product innovations, growing FDA approvals, cutting-edge aesthetic treatments, and improved healthcare infrastructure.

In the coming years, it is anticipated that ongoing advancements in filler materials will have an impact on market expansion. Numerous products intended for particular facial regions have received FDA approval, enabling dermatologists to provide clients with specialized care.

Throughout the projected period, North America will continue to be one of the most attractive markets for dermal fillers. The region’s high disposable income, good ability to spend on cosmetic operations, the presence of top manufacturers and the expanding demand for non-surgical procedures in the region are some of the main drivers promoting expansion.
During the projected period, Europe is anticipated to hold the second-largest market share for dermal fillers. The region’s market is expected to be significantly influenced by the rising demand for minimally invasive methods of face enhancement.
Due to the rising geriatric population and rising per capita income, APAC is anticipated to expand at the fastest CAGR throughout the projection period. Another significant factor that is anticipated to propel the market in the area during the assessment period is the increased demand for non-invasive cosmetic procedures and products for facial aesthetics. Due to the presence of profitable chances that might accelerate the industry, the presence of growing nations like India, China, and Japan is anticipated to significantly enhance the regional market.
