A prominent Pokemon leaker has shed some light on the evolution of Sprigatito, one of the three starters in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet. When Pokemon fans begin one of the two Nintendo Switch games this November, they will have to make a choice between Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly at the start of the game. The former of this trio, Sprigatito, is a grass cat Pokemon that apparently has a bipedal evolution, which is to say it will be standing on two legs rather than four.

The intel comes the way of Riddler Khu, a well-known leaker within the Pokemon community who most recently leaked the types of each game's cover legendary. In other words, the source in question has proven reliable and reputable in the past. Unfortunately, this is the extent of the information they have provided.

What is here should be taken with a grain of salt. While the source is a good one it doesn't change the fact that it's unofficial, and to an extent, subject to change as well.

At the moment of publishing, none of the implicated parties have addressed or acknowledged this leak. Game Freak and Nintendo rarely budge on their "no comment" policies, but if either does, we will be sure to update the story accordingly.

Pokemon Scarletand Pokemon Violet are both set to release worldwide on November 18, 2022 via Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite, and Nintendo Switch OLED.

"The newest chapters in the Pokemon series, the Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet games, are coming to the Nintendo Switch system later this year. As the main character, you can explore a wide-open world at your own pace, and can encounter the Legendary Pokemon Koraidon. In these games, you'll be able to enjoy the iconic adventures of the Pokemon series, like battling against wild Pokemon and trying to catch them! Choose either Sprigatito, the Grass Cat Pokemon, Fuecoco, the Fire Croc Pokemon, or Quaxly, the Duckling Pokemon to be your first partner Pokmon before setting off on your journey through this new region."

As every investor would know, you don't hit a homerun every time you swing. But serious investors should think long and hard about avoiding extreme losses. So spare a thought for the long term shareholders of Shapeways Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:SHPW); the share price is down a whopping 86% in the last twelve months. That'd be a striking reminder about the importance of diversification. Shapeways Holdings may have better days ahead, of course; we've only looked at a one year period. The falls have accelerated recently, with the share price down 40% in the last three months. We note that the company has reported results fairly recently; and the market is hardly delighted. You can check out the latest numbers in our company report. While a drop like that is definitely a body blow, money isn't as important as health and happiness.

Since Shapeways Holdings has shed US$8.8m from its value in the past 7 days, let's see if the longer term decline has been driven by the business' economics.

View our latest analysis for Shapeways Holdings

Shapeways Holdings isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally expect to see good revenue growth. That's because fast revenue growth can be easily extrapolated to forecast profits, often of considerable size.

Shapeways Holdings' revenue didn't grow at all in the last year. In fact, it fell 0.8%. That looks pretty grim, at a glance. The share price fall of 86% in a year tells the story. Holders should not lose the lesson: loss making companies should grow revenue. But markets do over-react, so there opportunity for investors who are willing to take the time to dig deeper and understand the business.

The graphic below depicts how earnings and revenue have changed over time (unveil the exact values by clicking on the image).

Take a more thorough look at Shapeways Holdings' financial health with this free report on its balance sheet.

Shapeways Holdings shareholders are down 86% for the year, even worse than the market loss of 16%. There's no doubt that's a disappointment, but the stock may well have fared better in a stronger market. The share price decline has continued throughout the most recent three months, down 40%, suggesting an absence of enthusiasm from investors. Basically, most investors should be wary of buying into a poor-performing stock, unless the business itself has clearly improved. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. For example, we've discovered 3 warning signs for Shapeways Holdings (1 is concerning!) that you should be aware of before investing here.

If you are like me, then you will not want to miss this free list of growing companies that insiders are buying.

Loss-making Shapeways Holdings (NYSE:SHPW) sheds a further US$8.8m, taking total shareholder losses to 86% over 1 year - Simply Wall St

Investing in stocks comes with the risk that the share price will fall. And unfortunately for Unity Software Inc. (NYSE:U) shareholders, the stock is a lot lower today than it was a year ago. In that relatively short period, the share price has plunged 59%. Because Unity Software hasn't been listed for many years, the market is still learning about how the business performs. The falls have accelerated recently, with the share price down 48% in the last three months.

After losing 6.5% this past week, it's worth investigating the company's fundamentals to see what we can infer from past performance.

See our latest analysis for Unity Software

Because Unity Software made a loss in the last twelve months, we think the market is probably more focussed on revenue and revenue growth, at least for now. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually expect strong revenue growth. Some companies are willing to postpone profitability to grow revenue faster, but in that case one does expect good top-line growth.

In the last year Unity Software saw its revenue grow by 42%. We think that is pretty nice growth. Meanwhile, the share price tanked 59%, suggesting the market had much higher expectations. It may well be that the business remains approximately on track, but its revenue growth has simply been delayed. To our minds it isn't enough to just look at revenue, anyway. Always consider when profits will flow.

The graphic below depicts how earnings and revenue have changed over time (unveil the exact values by clicking on the image).

Unity Software is a well known stock, with plenty of analyst coverage, suggesting some visibility into future growth. You can see what analysts are predicting for Unity Software in this interactive graph of future profit estimates.

We doubt Unity Software shareholders are happy with the loss of 59% over twelve months. That falls short of the market, which lost 14%. There's no doubt that's a disappointment, but the stock may well have fared better in a stronger market. With the stock down 48% over the last three months, the market doesn't seem to believe that the company has solved all its problems. Given the relatively short history of this stock, we'd remain pretty wary until we see some strong business performance. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. For instance, we've identified 4 warning signs for Unity Software that you should be aware of.

Of course Unity Software may not be the best stock to buy. So you may wish to see this free collection of growth stocks.

A truck has been left damaged after it overturned and shed its load in Salford.

The vehicle tipped onto its side on Langley Road this morning (Saturday). The road has been closed off by officers while the scene is cleared, police said.

GMP Traffic tweeted two pictures from the scene. They showed the front windscreen of the truck left completely smashed.

The pictures also showed the load from the lorry left strewn across the road. There appeared to be one fire engine at the scene, as well as multiple police vehicles.

Alongside the tweet, an officer wrote: "XT11, ME11 & XT51 currently on Langley Rd, Salford with an overturned vehicle. The road is closed for the next 30 minutes or so while the vehicle is removed. Thanks for your patience."

Home Depot (HD -3.54%) and Lowe's (LOW -4.09%) were beneficiaries of a massive shift in consumer spending at the pandemic's onset. Forced to work, learn, and entertain at home, people spent on home improvement en masse. With major COVID restrictions lifted, consumer spending is shifting again.

Home Depot and Lowe's latest results reveal that inflation is biting into budgets and slowing sales growth.

Home Depot's fiscal 2022 first quarter ended on May 1. During that period, net sales increased 3.8% year over year to $38.9 billion. That marks a considerable slowdown from the 32.7% top-line growth it logged in the same quarter last year. CEO and president Ted Decker commented, "The solid performance in the quarter is even more impressive as we were comparing against last year's historic growth and faced a slower start to spring this year." People were spending a lot more time indoors during the year-ago period, so they looked to improve their living spaces.

Rival Lowe's experienced a similarly drop in sales momentum in its most recent quarter (ended April 29), when it reported sales decreased 3.1% year over year. This time last year, Lowe's posted revenue growth of 24.1%.

So both home improvement retailers have reported a sudden deceleration to their robust growth. That development suggests consumers are shifting their attention (and spending) to other categories like dining and travel. Additionally, the retailers' results indicate inflation is taking its toll on consumer demand overall.

For instance, in its latest quarter, Lowe's reported the average customer transaction value increased 9.3% year over year. Meanwhile, the number of transactions declined 13.1%. Similarly, Home Depot reported average ticket size increased 11.4%, while the number of transactions decreased 8.2%.

As consumers observe businesses raise prices on everything from home improvement supplies to fuel, they're reining back some of their spending. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the consumer price index jumped 8.3% in April. The U.S. has not seen these levels of inflation in decades. It's not surprising that people are hesitating before pulling out their wallets.

That said, investors should proceed with caution. The coronavirus pandemic has created ripple effects, reducing various industries' capacity to meet customer demand. That mismatch between supply and demand has put upward pressure on prices, fueling inflation.

Regardless, when investors try to buy and sell in response to perceived economic changes, market timing is nearly impossible to implement effectively. The superior strategy is to buy a diversified basket of stocks and hold them for five years or longer. Investors should not panic and sell their investments right now.

Two years after the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, there is still much to learn about the long-term effects of long COVID. Experts have released a new guidance report for diagnosing and treating long haulers.

Long COVID occurs in individuals who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 and have at least one persistent symptom after acute illness. Symptoms of long COVID cause a range of adverse physical and psychological health effects for six months or more after initial recovery.

In May, the Biden administration announced the U.S. reached the 1 million mark in COVID deaths.

The long-term effects of COVID have also been financially debilitating. The Biden administration plans another extension of one of 2020s aid bills that prohibits states from disenrolling Medicaid beneficiaries who become ineligibleonly to those that die, opt out, or leave the state. The bill was to end by mid-July.

What are the new guidelines in diagnosing long COVID? What does rehabilitation look like for long COVID patients? How would someone know if they have long COVID?

New guidance on long COVID sheds light on symptoms and treatment options - Texas Public Radio

Domestic chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus) are distributed around the world and are a familiar source of meat and eggs for almost everyone on the planet. It is easy to assume that the species was domesticated primarily as a food source and transported around the world by people wishing to ensure a supply of meat and eggs. There is, however, little evidence to support this hypothesis, and new research by a team of international scientists has concluded that chicken history may be very different from what is currently accepted.

Previous research, involving a review of literature, has proposed that chickens were domesticated in Southeast Asia around 6,000 BC, before quickly becoming established in China and spreading rapidly into western Eurasia. According to this research, domestic chickens arrived in Eastern Europe by the Neolithic, spread throughout the Mediterranean during the Bronze Age and reached temperate Europe in the Iron Age. Much of the evidence upon which this approach is based is speculative or unverified at best and, in the opinion of the current team of international experts, the conclusions are wrong.

The findings of the current study involved re-analysis of more than 600 chicken bones from museum collections and various archaeological sites in 89 countries. The researchers used radio carbon dating and stable nitrogen isotope ratios to establish the ages of the bones, as well as morphometric analysis to ascertain that the bones were indeed from chickens.

In many instances the scientists found that the chicken bones did not agree in age with the stratigraphic dating from the archaeological sites. It appears that chicken bones may easily become introduced into deposits, particularly in farm situations where the earth is regularly turned, or where other factors may disturb the stratigraphy of a deposit. Furthermore, some of the bones belonged to pheasants, and not to chickens at all. These findings cast doubt on the quality of the evidence initially used to investigate domestication and dispersion of chickens in Southeast Asia, China and Europe.

The researchers found that the oldest authentic chicken bone among their samples was found at the Neolithic site Ban Non Wat in central Thailand, and was dated at between 1,650 and 1,250 BC. This is significantly more recent than the 6,000 BC that was proposed in earlier research.

The new studies also show that the driving force behind chicken domestication was the arrival of dry rice farming into Southeast Asia, the region occupied by their wild ancestor, the red jungle fowl. The availability of dry rice drew the jungle fowls down from the trees and brought them into a closer relationship with people, which resulted in their ultimate domestication.

This domestication process was underway by around 1,500 BC in the Southeast Asia peninsula. The research suggests that chickens were then transported first across Asia and then throughout the Mediterranean along routes used by early Greek, Etruscan and Phoenician maritime traders.

This comprehensive re-evaluation of chickens firstly demonstrates how wrong our understanding of the time and place of chicken domestication was. And even more excitingly, we show how the arrival of dry rice agriculture acted as a catalyst for both the chicken domestication process and its global dispersal, said Professor Greger Larson.

Additional dating results indicated that chickens did not arrive in Europe until around 800 BC, thus dispelling the claims that they were present before the first millennium BC. After arriving in the Mediterranean region, it took almost 1,000 years before chickens were established in the colder climates of Scotland, Ireland, Scandinavia and Iceland.

This is the first time that radiocarbon dating has been used on this scale to determine the significance of chickens in early societies, said Dr. Julia Best. Our results demonstrate the need to directly date proposed early specimens, as this allows us the clearest picture yet of our early interactions with chickens.

The results of these analyses also allowed the researchers to evaluate the changing relationship between humans and chickens over time. During the Iron Age in Europe, chickens were venerated and generally not regarded as food. The studies showed that several of the earliest chickens are buried alone and un-butchered, and many are also found buried with people. Male humans were often buried with cockerels and females with hens.

It was only during the time of the Roman Empire that the use of chickens and eggs as food was popularized. For example, in Britain, chickens were not regularly consumed until the third century AD, mostly in urban and military settings.

Eating chickens is so common that people think we have never not eaten them, explained Professor Naomi Sykes from the University of Exeter. Our evidence shows that our past relationship with chickens was far more complex, and that for centuries chickens were celebrated and venerated.

The team concludes that, with their adaptability in terms of a largely cereal-based diet, domesticated chickens were relatively quickly and easily transported along the land and sea trade routes to Asia, Oceania, Africa and Europe.

The fact that chickens are so ubiquitous and popular today, and yet were domesticated relatively recently is startling,said Dr. Ophlie Lebrasseur. Our research highlights the importance of robust osteological comparisons, secure stratigraphic dating and placing early finds within their broader cultural and environmental context.

The research is published in two separate scientific articles, appearing in Antiquity and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

It hasn't been the best quarter for First Bancorp (NASDAQ:FBNC) shareholders, since the share price has fallen 17% in that time. But at least the stock is up over the last five years. In that time, it is up 14%, which isn't bad, but is below the market return of 75%.

While the stock has fallen 4.4% this week, it's worth focusing on the longer term and seeing if the stocks historical returns have been driven by the underlying fundamentals.

View our latest analysis for First Bancorp

While markets are a powerful pricing mechanism, share prices reflect investor sentiment, not just underlying business performance. One flawed but reasonable way to assess how sentiment around a company has changed is to compare the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price.

During five years of share price growth, First Bancorp achieved compound earnings per share (EPS) growth of 16% per year. The EPS growth is more impressive than the yearly share price gain of 3% over the same period. So it seems the market isn't so enthusiastic about the stock these days.

The company's earnings per share (over time) is depicted in the image below (click to see the exact numbers).

It's good to see that there was some significant insider buying in the last three months. That's a positive. On the other hand, we think the revenue and earnings trends are much more meaningful measures of the business. Before buying or selling a stock, we always recommend a close examination of historic growth trends, available here..

It is important to consider the total shareholder return, as well as the share price return, for any given stock. Whereas the share price return only reflects the change in the share price, the TSR includes the value of dividends (assuming they were reinvested) and the benefit of any discounted capital raising or spin-off. So for companies that pay a generous dividend, the TSR is often a lot higher than the share price return. We note that for First Bancorp the TSR over the last 5 years was 25%, which is better than the share price return mentioned above. The dividends paid by the company have thusly boosted the total shareholder return.

While it's never nice to take a loss, First Bancorp shareholders can take comfort that , including dividends,their trailing twelve month loss of 12% wasn't as bad as the market loss of around 14%. Of course, the long term returns are far more important and the good news is that over five years, the stock has returned 5% for each year. It could be that the business is just facing some short term problems, but shareholders should keep a close eye on the fundamentals. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important. For instance, we've identified 1 warning sign for First Bancorp that you should be aware of.

There are plenty of other companies that have insiders buying up shares. You probably do not want to miss this free list of growing companies that insiders are buying.

First Bancorp (NASDAQ:FBNC) sheds 4.4% this week, as yearly returns fall more in line with earnings growth - Simply Wall St

A 28st mum who nearly capsized a boat because of her excessive size 32 bulk has shed half her body weight using diet and exercise and celebrated turning 50 as a 13st 10lb size 14. Put on her first diet at just six years old, former teaching assistant Rachel Mellor, 50, says this triggered an unhealthy relationship with food that followed her through life.

But the final straw came for Rachel, of Ossett, West Yorkshire, who has two daughters, Catherine, 12, and university student Elizabeth, 23, with her accountant husband Richard, 52, on a seaside boat trip with her children.

She said: We were living in Scarborough on the North Yorkshire coast at the time and I decided to take the kids out on a boat. It was a big thing, with at least 20 or so people on it already. But when I went to get on the boat dipped hugely under me.

With that many people on it already, youd think one more wouldnt make a difference. I was so embarrassed. I was ordered to sit right in the middle of the boat. I just wanted the ground to open up and swallow me.

That was in August 2015 when, weighing 28st 1lb and a size 32, at 5ft 9in Rachel had a body mass index (BMI) used to gauge a healthy weight of 58, which is more than double the top of the NHS healthy range of 18.5 to 24.9, making her dangerously obese. Finally facing her problem, Rachel joined WW (formerly Weight Watchers) the same month and started changing her lifestyle by cutting back on portion sizes and limiting things like bread and pasta, which she was used to eating in huge amounts.

She said: I was lucky I didnt have any health issues. But it was only a matter of time until that happened. I couldnt run around after either of my daughters when they were young. I couldnt go on funfair rides, but it was nearly capsizing the boat that I found mortifying!

Rachel had struggled with her weight all her life but feels that being put on a diet aged six, when she was simply a chubby child, triggered her secret eating problems.

She explained: I was always overweight. But, looking back now, when I was a kid, I was chubby. I wasnt hugely obese. Being put on a diet at just six years old simply meant I started eating in secret.

Always big growing up, she then gained weight once she settled into married life with Richard after tying the knot 28 years ago, which was compounded by her first pregnancy. Struggling to conceive her second daughter, she managed to lose 5st between having her two children, but regained it all and then some with the arrival of her youngest girl.

She said: The food I was eating wasnt all bad. Ive never been a binger. Im a full-time mum now, but I was working full time then as a teaching assistant and there wasnt a lot of time for planning and cooking. Wed have takeaways nearly every week.

There were always cakes and chocolates in the staff room at school and Id eat all of those, too. Then Id go to the supermarket to do the shopping and reward myself with a bar of chocolate on the way home.

While her boating embarrassment got her through the doors of a slimming club in August 2015, her commitment was half-hearted.

She said: I spent the next few years losing and gaining the same stone. I wasnt sticking to the plan. Life just got in the way and I wasnt prioritising myself.

But in 2019, Rachel and her family moved to Ossett for Richards work, and she stopped working, giving her time to recommit to dieting, especially when the country went into its first Covid lockdown. Determined to shift her excess weight for good, recommitting to WW, Rachel began planning all the familys meals in advance.

She would also send Richard shopping with a list, to avoid her being tempted to buy extra calorific treats.

She said: Id write a list and hed stick to it. Chocolate wasnt on there. It was quite simply a case of if I didnt have it in the house, I wouldnt eat it.

Only initially wanting to reach a size 18, Rachels weight loss continued, and she was soon walking five miles a day. And she was delighted when she tried her size 18 wedding dress on last year and found it was too big.

In time for her big 50th birthday party in May 2022, which she celebrated with a murder mystery bash, she was a slimline size 14/16 and weighed just 13st 10lb, giving her a far healthier BMI of 28.3.

Having lost an incredible 14st 3lb, Rachel said: Ive got to where my happy weight is. I could lose more, but I wouldnt be able to maintain it. The girls and Richard are so proud of me. And I am proud of myself.

Im active with my family for the first time. Just the other day we were playing Frisbee, while the old me would just have been sat in the car!

Rachel's diet before

Breakfast cereal and skimmed milk

Lunch three slices of bread in a sandwich, a lot of fruit

Dinner huge portions of pasta or two chicken Kyivs and tinned spaghetti

Snacks chocolate

Drinks water and coffee

Rachel's diet now

Breakfast porridge oats with raspberries and blueberries

Lunch salad or spinach with smoked fish

Dinner chicken and jacket potatoes and salad or a small portion of spag bol

Snacks chickpea cake and fruit

Drinks water

Weight Watchers mum sheds 14st after nearly capsizing a boat - Wales Online

Its safe to say last night was not the game Leeds would have wanted, but things were always going to be tough without skipper Kruise Leeming.

A former Giants, he was named man of the match in Leeds 40-4 win over Warrington last week but was unavailable through illness as the Rhinos travelled to Leemings old stomping ground.

His absence was key as Huddersfield dominated the middle controlling the Leeds ruck and limiting the speed at which their forwards were subsequently allowed to make metres off the back of it.

After the game, his coach Rohan Smith shed some more light on the situation as he clearly demonstrated the character of Leeming who still wanted to play: Kruise has been ill for a few days. He tried to get moving yesterday but hes actually a bit worse today than yesterday. He wanted to play but we couldnt allow him to go out there and we ruled him out late this afternoon.

I hope he wakes up and feels a bit better.

Its unclear whether this will impact Leemings chances of picking up another England appearance next week against the Combined Nations. Ironically, he played for the Combined Nations against England last year before making his England debut against France at the end of the season.

With the likes of Paul McShane chomping at the bit to wrap up the England number nine shirt, Leeming will want to give himself the best shot at securing the jersey in Shaun Wanes side.
