Holm 15A is a bright cluster galaxy with an unusually depleted core—its central region appears to be far fainter than any other early-type galaxy that has been modeled in detail, researchers led by Kianusch Mehrgan, from the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics, Germany, explained in a paper posted to the preprint server arxiv.org. In the study, which has not yet been peer reviewed but has been submitted to The Astrophysical Journal, the team used the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT)’s to make new observations of Holm 15A’s depleted core....

Newsweek first talked about how this home price correction could impact the market back in July, when analysts predicted home prices could drop by as much as 3 percent in 2023. Three months later, experts are looking into a more drastic drop than previously forecasted. “Demand has plummeted and single-family existing home sales are down about 25 percent since the start of the year,” Thomas LaSalvia, senior economist at Moody’s Analytics, told Newsweek....

Why It Doesn’t Work There is no cure for the common cold. It is a viral illness caused by hundreds of different viruses. There is no vaccine to prevent a cold or medication to cure one, and honey and cinnamon do not have any properties that would allow them to kill viruses. Colds typically last between seven and 10 days and go away on their own. Some home remedies and over-the-counter medications may help relieve symptoms while you wait....

The 22-year-old has a tough task up next as she meets the fifth seed and China Open champion Akane Yamaguchi for a place in the semi-finals. Sindhu lost her last showdown with the Japanese in straight games in the semi-finals of the French Open. Former champion Saina Nehwal and World No. 10 HS Prannoy squandered a one-game lead each to exit the tournament in the second round, thus ending their chances of qualifying for the World Superseries Finals to be held in Dubai next month....

Amnesty International spoke with 21 people arrested during the demonstrations. They recounted arbitrary arrests, beatings and cruel and unusual punishment that the organization said amounts to torture. The human rights group said its report uncovered an “alarming pattern of the Hong Kong Police Force deploying reckless and indiscriminate tactics.” Amnesty called for an independent investigation into such behavior, a demand shared by the Hong Kong protesters that has gone unheeded by the territory’s pro-Beijing government and Chief Executive Carrie Lam....

Citizen News announced on Sunday that it will cease operations on January 4. The website, which was founded in 2017 and focused on political news and analysis, clarified that it was not ordered to shut down by the Chinese government’s crackdown on dissent. Rather, it said the state of journalism in Hong Kong was not sustainable. “We all love this place, deeply. Regrettably, what was ahead of us is not just pouring rains or blowing winds, but hurricanes and tsunamis,” the outlet said in a statement....

LONDON (Reuters) - Andy Murray admitted to battling pain throughout Wimbledon after he hobbled to a quarter-final exit at the hands of Sam Querrey on Wednesday having failed to overcome a troublesome hip injury. The defending champion was beaten 3-6 6-4 6-7(4) 6-1 6-1 by the giant American, who fought hard to stay in the match before cutting loose as the world number one became increasingly immobile. The Briton came into the tournament under a cloud, facing questions about his fitness after a first-round exit at the grasscourt warm-up event at Queen’s....

SCG Trust chairman Rodney Cavalier Tuesday announced the renovations plans which include the demolition of MA Noble, Bradman and Messenger stands to make way for a complex housing better facilities for the spectators and the media. The capacity of the stadium, which was built in 1848, will also be increased to 48,000 from the existing 44,000. “The new stands are another moment in the ground’s evolution,” Cavalier said. “The design instructions made it expressly clear that, when the work is completed, the stands will look like they have always belonged inside one of the world’s greatest cricket grounds....

Parker, to his credit, hasn’t abandoned his social conscience. In “Come See the Paradise” he’s constructed a drama about the mass incarceration of Japanese-Americans in internment camps during World War II. Though his heart, and his facts, are in the right place, he’s succeeded in reducing a powerful story of institutional racism into an unforgivably dull film. Whatever you think of Parker’s films, they’ve never been boring. Toning down his usual hysteria may be an act of contrition, but why then was it necessary to tell the story once again from the vantage point of a white hero?...

The second and final Test against Bangladesh starting here Saturday will signal the historic landmark and Chanderpaul says he is looking forward to being part of the occasion, reports CMC. “This is a wonderful occasion for West Indies cricket and I’m delighted to be part of it,” said Chanderpaul. “This is a milestone that we have achieved and as a West Indian I am proud and I want to keep the West Indies flag flying as high as possible....

Pokemon Legends: Arceus is a fan favorite series that takes trainers through the Hisui region and features many regional forms of Pokemon like Zoroark, Sneasle, or Typhlosion. It also added evolutions to older Pokemon that needed a bit of a touch up like Ursaluna or Basculegion. Thanks to the fanfare a lot of these Pokemon got, a good chunk of them will be able to be brought into the Paldea region....

MORE: Get FantasyAlarm.com’s Draft Guide The reasons vary – small sample sizes, smaller ballparks, Arizona’s thin, dry air, players who wear No. 83 getting far too much playing time – but the bottom line is spring training stats are not necessarily indicators of future success or failure. And even though we know this, we still can’t help but get sucked in when a player is popping off a bunch of homers before the season starts....

Even more so than the previous two games, Hitman 3 has so much for players to do and achieve within the game that they can continue to enjoy the same missions over and over, yet somehow still find new things to do within them. In fact, even being out for over a month now, players are still finding new things to do in Hitman 3. However, throughout the month of March, players will be given plenty of new things to do within the game....

This should come as a great relief to players as, before now, Hitman and Hitman 2 took up around 110 GB alone; more if the DLC is included. With the optimizations and the PS5’s impressive load times, gamers should be excited about how well the new Hitman is going to play.

A post on the developer website details the patch notes for version 3.120 of Hitman 3, which was released yesterday. While things like bug fixes and tweaks to the game are par for the course when it comes to updates, one of the most intriguing things that has been implemented is a free level called “Ambrose Island,” which is located in the Andaman Sea. The opening cinematic gives some background into what Agent 47 can expect in this new locale, and it mainly seems that someone has absconded to the island, which harbors a ruthless gang of pirate-like criminals....

The retina, choroid (the vascular layer of the eye), and optic nerve comprise much of the posterior segment, with a number of HIV-associated disorders presenting within these ocular layers, more often in late-stage HIV disease. Disorders of the posterior segment—primarily presenting with vascular changes to the retina—are seen in as many as 50% to 70% of patients with HIV, and may sometime result in persistent or acute damage to the retina (called retinopathy)....
