Minimalist but never austere, this mother-daughter portrait from the Danish author finds its power in everyday detail The Danish author Helle Helle’s They, published in the UK in a pin-sharp translation by Martin Aitken, charts the subtle and shifting bond between a teenage daughter and an ailing mother in prose that is minimalist but never austere. It’s one of those novels where little is spoken but everything, by the end, gets said. The unnamed mother and 16-year-old daughter live above a hairdresser’s in a Danish backwater on the island of Lolland, where nothing much goes on. They walk across the spring-awoken fields, they shop for groceries, they join an evening class. Details of their past are scanty, fugitive: a few house moves, but nothing about the daughter’s father, who exerts a vague apophatic presence. Mostly, they enjoy a frictionless, symbiotic closeness: “They sit by the window a lot, and on the settee, and with the free local weekly … They lift their mugs, sip synchronous mouthfuls.” Continue reading...

Those not up to speed on the Miss Kobayashi manga may struggle with the full nuance of this dimension hopping anime, but the visuals are stunningly to look at You know fantasy has a different constituency these days when, at a pivotal point in this candy-coloured, realm-hopping anime, the protagonist casts a spell that temporarily boosts local mobile-phone signal. During the climactic battle, it’s salarywoman Miss Kobayashi (voiced by Mutsumi Tamura) who is dialling up extra help from Kanna (Maria Naganawa), the moony, bobby-soxed poppet who’s one of the dragons in human guise that have invaded her life (and demanded a smartphone). Kanna is very much sought after: with a big smackdown brewing between the forces of chaos and harmony in the dragon dimension, her father Kimun Kamui (Fumihiko Tachiki) turns up at Kobayashi’s flat to demand either his daughter return to fight, or give him the dragon orb into which she has loaded her manna. Offended by his saurian sangfroid, Kobayashi refuses to give Kanna up; when her posse start digging around in the other realm, it appears that human mage Azad (Nobunaga Shimazaki) has been stoking tensions between the two factions.

China should accelerate development of a space-based solar power station , as the technology could one day do far more than beam clean energy to Earth, it might even help tame typhoons , according to a senior Chinese engineer. Duan Baoyan , the lead scientist behind the ambitious “Zhuri” project – which aims to hold a megawatt-class demonstration in the Earth’s orbit by 2030 – said microwave beams generated by such a station to transmit electricity back to Earth could potentially be directed to heat moisture inside storm systems. “If the energy output were high enough, it could alter regional atmospheric circulation and change a typhoon’s intensity and path,” Duan, a professor of mechanical engineering at Xidian University in Xian, northwestern China, wrote in state-run People’s Daily on Monday. 02:38 Why are typhoons and other extreme weather events on the rise in Asia? Why are typhoons and other extreme weather events on the rise in Asia? He added that the plant could also charge satellites, space stations and deep-space probes, allowing them to operate for longer and travel farther. “Future space internet networks or even lunar bases may rely on this ‘space-based power bank’ technology,” he wrote. Advertisement First proposed by Duan and his colleagues in 2013, the Zhuri (“chasing the sun”) project ultimately envisions building a kilometre-scale circular solar power station in geostationary orbit, about 36,000km (22,370 miles) above Earth, capable of generating gigawatt-level electricity. In 2022, his team built a 75-metre-tall test tower on campus to simulate the entire process on Earth, including tracking the sun, concentrating light, converting it into electricity, turning that electricity into microwaves, beaming it across a distance, and converting it back into electricity at a receiving antenna. Advertisement Since then, the ground-based system has reached new technical milestones, including what Duan described as “one-to-many transmission”, allowing a sing...

The Vanguard S&P 500 Growth ETF (VOOG +0.18%) and the Vanguard Russell 1000 Growth ETF (VONG +0.28%) both deliver low-cost U.S. growth stock exposure, but they track different indexes and thus offer distinct portfolio compositions. This comparison looks at fees, performance, portfolio tilt, and practical considerations to help clarify which approach may appeal more. Snapshot (cost & size) Metric VOOG VONG Issuer Vanguard Vanguard Expense ratio 0.07% 0.06% 1-yr return (as of March 2, 2026) 18.47% 14.53% Dividend yield 0.49% 0.46% Beta (5Y monthly) 1.10 1.15 AUM $22.5 billion $46.5 billion VONG is slightly more affordable with a lower annual expense ratio, though the difference is minimal. The funds pay a nearly identical dividend yield, so cost and income factors are essentially a wash. Performance & risk comparison Metric VOOG VONG Max drawdown (5 y) -32.74% -32.72% Growth of $1,000 over 5 years $1,863 $1,867 What's inside VONG tracks the Russell 1000 Growth Index, holding 391 stocks and offering a diversified take on large-cap U.S. growth. Its portfolio is led by technology (50%), but it also features meaningful allocations to consumer cyclical (14%) and communication services (13%). Its top holdings include Nvidia, Apple, and Microsoft, and the fund has a 15-year track record and no unusual quirks. VOOG, on the other hand, draws from the S&P 500 Growth Index and holds only 140 stocks, resulting in a more concentrated approach. Its sector mix also leans into technology at 48%, with 18% allocated to communication services and 10% to consumer cyclical. The top three positions include Nvidia, Microsoft, and Alphabet.

What this means for investors VOOG and VONG are similar in many ways, namely in that they both focus on large-cap growth stocks. Their differing underlying indexes, though, result in a few key distinctions. For one, VOOG is narrower, with 251 fewer stocks than VONG. The ETFs also h...

Hiroshi Watanabe/DigitalVision via Getty Images Market Review U.S. equity markets capped a strong year of performance with modest gains in the fourth quarter. Resurging concerns about the durability of artificial intelligence (AI) development and the enormous levels of investment spent on AI infrastructure led to volatility during the last three months of the year. Despite these fears, and associated valuation worries, the Federal Reserve's easing monetary policy, moderating but still positive economic growth, and the ongoing penetration of AI buoyed the markets as the year ended. The S&P 500 Index advanced by 2.6% for the quarter and, after a long stretch of outperformance by growth and large cap equities, market participation broadened out during the period. The tech-heavy Nasdaq outperformed the Index due to continued concentrated strength in mega-cap tech and AI beneficiaries. However, modest cooling in AI-led growth leadership and a rotation away from highly concentrated, premium valuation growth toward discounted cyclical and defensive sectors led to the outperformance of value stocks. Expectations of a lower interest rate environment helped support cyclicals as well as small caps during the quarter. Trepidation around valuations left no cushion for missing earnings expectations, and even companies that met expectations, but didn't exceed them, saw their share prices decline. Most sectors lagged the modest market return, with only healthcare and communications services outperforming. The healthcare sector led the market in the fourth quarter as the group rebounded after being under intermittent pressure since late 2024. Relief on the political front, solid earnings, innovation, notable strength in obesity/diabetes franchises, as well as discounted valuations, supported its performance. While communications services and technology drove market performance for the year, technology underperformed in the fourth quarter while communications services continued its o...

The crypto markets are taking an absolute beating in 2026, even after a lackluster 2025. Without exception, every crypto major is down this year, and most have fallen on the order of 25% or more. That means there might be some great bargains to find for bold investors who are willing to hold through a bit more downside. In particular, there are three cryptocurrencies I'll be buying after this pullback -- and one I'll be continuing to avoid, so let's take a look at each. 1. Bitcoin Bitcoin (BTC +0.70%) is still the asset that's the anchor for almost all crypto portfolios, despite being down more than 20% this year. It's simply hard to beat a coin that has a capped and scarce supply and deep liquidity, not to mention the longest history of use in the sector. The next few quarters are likely to be volatile. There is a genuine crisis of faith in the asset's purpose and its future at the moment -- which, for the record, is something that happens every time the crypto sector enters into a deep bear market. But Bitcoin has survived such crises every other time, even if it ultimately ended up dropping around 80% from its highs. Expand CRYPTO : BTC Bitcoin Today's Change ( 0.70 %) $ 468.42 Current Price $ 66988.00 Key Data Points Market Cap $1.3T Day's Range $ 65380.00 - $ 69851.00 52wk Range $ 60255.56 - $ 126079.89 Volume 60B This time around, the factor to watch for signs of a recovery will be Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) money flows. Once net inflows become common again, the coin's price will have good odds of rising once more. 2. Zcash Down almost 60% in 2026, Zcash (ZEC 0.80%) is still worth buying because it aims at being a Bitcoin-like store of value, but with additional privacy features. Its supply policy is exactly the same as Bitcoin's, with a hard cap of 21 million coins, and mining-based production that gets more and more difficult over time. Its shielded transactions rely on a new form of cryptography called zk-SNARKs, which can prove a payment is valid w...
