In an attempt to revive the once-popular sport of cricket in America, the 2024 Twenty20 World Cup opened at Grand Prairie Stadium, Texas, with the hosts winning against Canada. Despite cricket's historical significance in the US, the game declined due to factors like the American Civil War, the rise of baseball, and restricted global governance by the Imperial Cricket Conference. With the recent T20 World Cup matches held in the US, there is hope to grow the sport in a country where cricket has been a niche interest primarily among South Asian and Caribbean diaspora, though concerns remain about accessibility and sustainable investments in grassroots development.

In a move to support sluggish oil prices, Saudi Arabia and allied oil-producing countries have extended output cuts through next year. Despite conflicts in the Middle East and the summer travel season, Brent prices have remained stagnant at $81-$83 per barrel due to various factors such as higher interest rates, concerns about demand, and increasing non-OPEC supply. The extended cuts totaling 5.8 million barrels per day could potentially push oil prices higher, but uncertainty remains about future demand, particularly after the summer season ends. The decision to extend production cuts aims to support Saudi Arabia's economic diversification plans and Russia's economic stability amid ongoing conflicts.

With the average age of grandparents increasing, more families are facing the challenges of providing both child care and elder care simultaneously, a phenomenon often referred to as the "sandwich generation." Research indicates that family networks are shrinking as people have fewer living relatives due to delayed childbearing and declining fertility rates. This demographic shift is leading to more generations living at the same time, resulting in scenarios where one generation may be caring for parents, children, and grandchildren simultaneously, creating physical, emotional, and financial strains on caregivers. The reliance on unpaid family caregiving poses potential risks as longevity increases and birth rates decline, highlighting the need for comprehensive long-term care systems to support an aging population.
