Most Hyped Cricket Series In Decades Set For Anti-Climax After England’s Humiliation
Unless you’re an absolute diehard Australian supporter, those so enraged over England’s cavalier style dubbed ‘Bazball’, there was a hollow feeling waking up on Sunday on what should have been day three of the most anticipated Ashes series in two decades. English revellers, totalling around 20, 000 fans with many part of the merry supporter group affectionately known as the ‘Barmy Army’, were sighted in and around Perth’s watering holes late on Saturday night looking rather worse for wear, as they grappled with England’s utter capitulation. No doubt many slumbered out of bed the next day rather gingerly, their heads in a knot, but their spirits lifted by the prospect of exploring the vast state of Western Australia considerably longer than expected. Perhaps feeling the pinch from England wilting inside two days the most was Cricket Australia, ironically, who will reportedly lose $3 million from ticket venue on days three and four. Two days of exhilarating cricket wasn’t quite enough to dull that anti-climactic feeling after such a long and hyped build-up. Fuelling such a frenzy, other than the usual name calling and nonsense, was the genuine belief that the Ashes would be utterly competitive in Australia, edge of your seats type stuff that is usually reserved for tussles in the U. K, something that hasn’t happened since the 1980s. But England were humiliated in the span of five madcap hours on a whirlwind Saturday afternoon, letting slip a position of strength before getting a taste of their own medicine when Travis Head flayed them with the type of swagger their ham-fisted batters could only dream of. It means this five-match series is now staring down the barrel of being a one-sided bore, another calamity to add to the long list for England in their nightmare surrounds of the harsh Australian setting. England have often unravelled quickly Down Under and there is a feeling of another swift implosion after they were not able to capitalize against a weakened and aging Australia side. At lunch on day two, back when things felt relatively normal at Perth Stadium, England were on the brink of shutting the door on Australia’s attack already without stars Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood whose veteran quicks had to back up so quickly. Offspinner Nathan Lyon was seen grimacing in the field having taken a stinging blow on the hip while batting to add to the mounting injury crisis. There was also controversy swirling over opener Usman Khawaja, nearing 39 and under pressure to hold his spot, who suffered back spasms on day one having prepared for the game by playing golf. The optics were bad as the Australian press and so too the gleeful British tabloids started to sharpen the knives with the match playing out in eerie fashion to India’s big victory in the corresponding Test a year ago on the same ground. It felt like an Australian era was coming to a screeching halt. Remarkably, perhaps the swiftest transformation ever seen on a Test cricket field, the match was turned on its Head pardon the pun -by the time the shadows started to creep onto the ground. Head, replacing an ailed Khawaja in the role, properly executed Bazball better than any England batter ever has. By the end of such a pummelling, England had basically given up and no one could really make sense of it all. Everyone was left stunned by the carnage and pure speed of this match the seventh quickest in Test cricket’s near 150-year history. Seasoned journalists in the press box, even British scribes who have witnessed many of England’s infamous wreckages, looked perplexed. Australia captain Steve Smith was also visibly coming to grips with it all in his press conference. In a notable contrast, England skipper Ben Stokes usually measured and pragmatic looked forlorn, staring into the distance like he had seen a ghost. It was as if Stokes was seeing apparitions of horror shows from previous Australian tours as he finds himself facing the biggest challenge of his captaincy. Bazball, of course, hovers over all of this. If the wheels come off, like it has for so many England touring teams over the years, then this might be the end of this Bazball experiment which has become something of a way of life for the England team that was spawned for the main purpose of winning the Ashes in Australia. There is time. India just five years ago did famously recover from being bundled out for 36 in their series-opener in Adelaide, while England did mount an inspired comeback from 2-0 down to square the 2023 Ashes. For it to be salvaged, however, England will need to play smarter and curb their instincts but tweaking their approach appears too late by this juncture. As coach Brendon McCullum stated in the immediate aftermath, expect England to double down amid the avalanche. It feels like an inevitable inglorious end for Bazball. But at least their loyal supporters, used to watching such grim performances under the harsh Australian sun, will get more time to scope out the sights of this sprawling country during their extra down time.

This is a preview of the November 20 edition of Access Health-Tap here to get this newsletter delivered straight to your inbox. Here in Chicago, we have a Restaurant Week each year has released a study discrediting “pediatric sex rejecting procedures” for the treatment of gender dysphoria in children and teens. The study found “significant, long-term, and too often ignored or inadequately tracked” health effects from gender affirming treatments given to pediatric patients, according to a Wednesday news release from HHS, led by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. The report’s authors included physicians from Duke University, University of South Florida and Baylor College of Medicine. The American Psychiatric Association participated in the review, but the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Endocrine Society refused HHS’ invitation to partake, according to the report. Health systems around the country are caught in the medical and political crossfires. As of August, at least 21 hospitals had discontinued some or all of their gender-affirming care services for transgender patients amidst increased pressure from President Donald Trump’s administration, NBC reported. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Medical Association released a joint statement on Wednesday, saying, “We reject selective or politically motivated interpretations of data that ignore the totality of research and clinical outcomes.” Click here for the full statement. You can view HHS’ report here. UMass Memorial Health Care She’s also the primary CEO of three of the eight medical groups in the Federation: the Mid-Atlantic Permanente Medical Group, the Permanente Medical Group in Northern California and the Northwest Permanente Medical Group in Oregon and part of Washington. Ansari oversees about 12, 000 physicians caring for a combined 6 million patients. We discussed how she’s preparing to support them into the future-especially as the Baby Boomer population ages, placing additional strain on an already-taxed health care system. Below, find some of her insights on how new care models and AI can lighten providers’ load. Editor’s Note: Responses have been lightly edited for length and clarity. How is The Permanente Federation planning to care for an aging population? We’re using a lot of different care models to look at this population, because [our plan] depends on the state. As an example, in Oregon, the birth rate is really low, and so the growth is in the Medicare line of business. What’s true across [all of our] markets is that we’re aging faster than we’re growing [the workforce], and so we have to really invest in caring for this older population. We know that for people over 65, close to 90 percent of them have at least one chronic medical condition, and 60 percent have at least two chronic medical conditions. People are living longer and they are carrying more disease burden. And so what we’re looking at from a population perspective is, how do we keep them living their best lives? How do we keep them healthy? How do we support them in this? Because they all look different, right? If you’ve seen one 80-year-old, you’ve seen one 80-year-old, because one might be playing tennis, another might be bedridden, and there’s everything in between. We have a few different pilots going on, but the general approach is moving care more and more upstream so that they don’t get the late-stage manifestation of their disease. If they have hypertension, [we want to ensure] that it’s under tight control, or if they have diabetes, that we’re controlling it so well that they don’t get hospitalized, because nobody wants to be in the emergency department. Frictionless, convenient access to care and care management systems help keep them healthy at home. That’s a mainstay throughout The Permanente Federation and all of our medical groups: care managers for chronic conditions. What we are doing differently right now is using AI to [identify patients that are at] the highest risk to be admitted, to have a fall, to have a heart attack, and really put wraparound services around them. We’re calling that Care Plus. We’ve been using that in Northern California, and we’re trying to spread it to some of the other markets. But the Care Plus model is basically a care team that includes a nurse, a pharmacist, a physician, a social worker and a care navigator. There are multiple [of those] groups of five that care for a population of patients that are at risk for getting sicker, and the AI alerts us to get involved, and they direct the right type of person on the team to address it. So if it’s a transport issue or a food insecurity issue, it might be the social worker. If it’s they’re running out of meds, it might be the pharmacist. Did Kaiser Permanente develop that AI tool internally, or are you working with a vendor? We do work with vendors on some of our AI tools. This particular AI tool is our own in-house AI tool [that] we use our electronic medical record for. We actually have 12. 6 million members across our entire enterprise, and use a predictive analytics model to determine who is most likely to get re-hospitalized, who’s more likely to deteriorate, and then alert the care team on what the gap is in terms of the need so that we can match them to the right member of the care team. It’s almost like AI is part of the care team-so we have a team-based approach, and AI is just one that is trying to match the patient to the right care team member. For most of their lives, patients over the age of 65 have been receiving care face-to-face, without much technological intervention. Are you concerned about integrating more digital tools into their care journey? Personally, I am not worried about it. They are not a monolithic group, and many of them are wearing wearables and are very tech savvy. They want real-time feedback. They want to have what we consider asynchronous interactions with their care team, where they can just [ask], “What do you think of this mole?” We piloted a [dermatology] app and had people send in pictures of their moles, and the AI algorithm helped tell them [if they were] going to have to see a doctor or if this could be managed with over-the-counter treatment. We had just as many older patients engaged in that as younger. In fact, the older patients are more likely to have some lesions that they’re more concerned about. So I’m very optimistic about our seniors embracing AI. We use AI in most of our clinic visits because we use Abridge and supplementing by looking for the metaphorical sunshine. Health care professionals are confronted with a lot of problems in their day-to-day: ill patients, declining reimbursement rates, staffing shortages. Naturally, a lot of our conversations focus on these issues; you have to examine them closely to find the solutions. But lately, I’ve really enjoyed hearing what industry leaders are excited about-what they feel is going right. This week, I saw some of those bright spots in my conversation with Dr. Alexa Kimball, president and CEO of Harvard Medical Faculty Physicians. Kimball told me that she sees progress when reflecting on her time in medicine, and that helps her keep a positive outlook. Here’s what she said: Editor’s Note: Responses have been lightly edited for length and clarity. “It’s been an incredible journey of watching the progress that medicine has made over the past 25 years, and an amazing privilege to be able to have been a part of it. “There are diseases that were so common and so problematic years ago, and today, this next generation of physicians has never even really seen the disease because it almost doesn’t exist anymore. “It’s been extraordinary to watch that, so I am very optimistic about the care that we bring to patients. We have to figure out how we support the physician enterprise effectively to bring the best care to patients, and AI has also made me optimistic about reducing some of doctors’ burdens to make them more effective. But we’re all in this together at the end of the day, and we’re not going to optimize the health care system unless all parts of it are really pulling the same direction, which, at the end of the day, should be about the care of the patients.” CEO Circle Insights from health care thought leaders around the world “A quiet paradox is unfolding in health care,” according to Dr. Lawrence Rosenberg, president and CEO of the Integrated Health & Social Sciences University Network for West-Central Montreal, and a member of Newsweek’s CEO Circle. Governments are focused on centralizing their health systems-but Rosenberg argues that they could become vulnerable to “intelligence bottlenecks” in the age of AI. Click here to read his thoughts.

Tech, digital skills unlock UK’s manufacturing potential: Barclays
U.K. business leaders say that the country’s manufacturing potential remains strong, but significant investment in technology adoption and digital skills is essential to prevent further decline. This insight comes from a new report by Barclays Bank (NASDAQ: BCS) and The Manufacturer, titled **“Mind the Gap: Closing the productivity divide in UK manufacturing.”**
Released last week, the report is based on surveys and interviews with more than 100 U.K. manufacturers. It offers a cautiously optimistic view from the country’s manufacturing leaders, who largely agree that while productivity has been in decline, there is a path forward—one many manufacturers have already started to pursue.
### The Current State of U.K. Manufacturing Productivity
The latest data from the U.K.’s Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows that productivity, measured by output per hour, is 10% below the G7 average. Germany, a traditional manufacturing powerhouse, outperforms the U.K. by a full 16%. These figures align with industry leaders’ perceptions: more than half (56.4%) believe U.K. manufacturing productivity is declining, while 19% are unsure.
### Key Causes of Productivity Challenges
The report identifies several factors contributing to the productivity gap:
– **Skills and Workforce Challenges (56.5%)**
– **Slow Technology Adoption (40%)**
– **Supply Chain Inefficiencies (31.3%)**
– **Regulations (10%)**
A lack of digital skills is part of the workforce challenge, but the primary concern is the difficulty in finding workers willing to engage in manufacturing roles. The sluggish adoption of technology also remains a top concern. Cost is cited as the biggest barrier for smaller companies, with one CEO commenting that these firms often lack “financial headroom to trial new systems without guaranteed ROI.”
### Technology Adoption: A Critical Differentiator
The report highlights a wide disparity in digital transformation across manufacturers. Some have embraced integrated platforms to drive decision-making, while others rely on fragmented systems or even manual record-keeping. This gap directly affects their ability to identify inefficiencies and react in real time.
Interestingly, the report also notes a lack of a consistent, widely accepted definition of what “manufacturing productivity” actually means, which complicates benchmarking efforts. Despite these challenges, nearly half of respondents (49.6%) plan to increase their digital transformation efforts within the next 12 months—making it the top priority.
### Priorities for the Year Ahead
Following digital transformation, the next highest priorities for manufacturers over the coming year are:
– **Upskilling/Reskilling Staff (45%)**
– **Supply Chain Optimisation (29%)**
– **Enhanced Data Management (26%)**
### Conclusion
Overall, the research paints a mixed picture for the U.K. manufacturing sector. The report concludes:
> “The direction of travel is positive: manufacturers are investing, innovating and building momentum. Yet the challenge cannot be underestimated. Without continued focus on skills, technology adoption and process efficiency, the UK risks losing pace with global competitors.”

Rosalia Skewers an Ex, Sings in 14 Languages, Rethinks Marriage, and More ‘Lux’ Takeaways
When Rosalía announced her album *Lux* last month, she described it as the “emotional arc of feminine mystique, transformation, and transcendence,” hinting at heady themes and high-minded production. The Spanish star more than delivered on that promise.
*Lux* is out now, showcasing operatic inspirations, collaborations with the London Symphony Orchestra, and the careful training Rosalía perfected through years of work. Rolling Stone lauded *Lux* as an instant classic, calling it “a truly timeless work of art” that “no other pop star could have made.”
It’s also a deeply personal album. Already, the lyrics in 14 languages have turned fans into forensic analysts as they try to decipher the meaning in each line. The star alludes to intimate moments in her life: She taps música mexicana’s Yahritza from Yahritza y Su Esencia for an unforgiving breakup song titled “La Perla,” and also enlists Yves Tumor and Björk for the left-of-center single “Berghain,” just to name a few features.
The music feels like an intense, experimental, dramatic journey — best played in the dark, as Rosalía has suggested.
Here are six of our takeaways from Rosalía’s stunning project.
### She embraces her classical training
Rosalía put her classical music training on full display in *Lux*. She is a trained conservatory musician who famously studied vocal flamenco performance at the Catalonia College of Music (ESMUC) in Barcelona, a prestigious program that typically accepts only one student per year.
Her mastery is evident across the LP, from tapping the London Symphony Orchestra to nodding to Vivaldi and Mozart. Rosalía extended her vocal prowess by learning more about opera — weeks before *Lux* was released, she was spotted reading the musical score from the 1900 Puccini opera *Tosca*. This proved to be an Easter egg of sorts; “I wanted to make a song that was like my version of what an aria could be,” she told *Billboard* about the track “Mio Cristo.”
### She expands her linguistic horizons
In an interview for *The New York Times’* Popcast, Rosalía revealed she sang in 14 languages on the album. Already fluent in Spanish and Catalan, she familiarized herself with 12 other languages, including English, Latin, Italian, Ukrainian, Japanese, Arabic, Sicilian, Mandarin, Hebrew, Portuguese, and French.
“It’s a lot of trying to understand how other languages work,” she said regarding the arduous writing and recording process. Rosalía turned to both Google Translate and professional translators to help with phonetics and pronunciation, but even so, songs took several takes to get right.
She clarified that this linguistic challenge was “very much human” and did not involve AI. That much is clear when listening to *Lux*, where the singer seamlessly transitions through each language like a pro.
### She savages her ex
Rosalía eviscerates a narcissistic ex on “La Perla,” featuring música mexicana singer Yahritza. The strings swell as she targets a former lover she calls “a local disappointment,” “a national heartbreaker,” and “an emotional terrorist.”
She sings about someone who “spends money he has and doesn’t have” and who lacks understanding of “loyalty and faithfulness.” The chorus goes, “He’s a pearl, no one trusts him / He’s a pearl, one to be very careful with.”
Many fans speculate the song is about her ex-fiancé Rauw Alejandro, but whether it is or not doesn’t diminish its impact. What stands out is how Rosalía finds revenge through the stunning arrangement.
### She revives an unreleased, Pharrell-produced song
For years, fans begged Rosalía to release “De Madrugá,” a Pharrell-produced track recorded during her *El Mal Querer* sessions. It didn’t see the light of day back then — until *Lux*.
This time, Rosalía tweaks the original leaked lyrics, even slipping in a line in Ukrainian that translates to “I am not looking for revenge.” She dials back the overt religious imagery from the earlier version and sings in one verse:
> “The chains weigh me down / from looking back so much / there’s no weapon, no Glock or Beretta / that can fire and bring you back.”
The new rendition also folds in lush strings, tying it to the album’s symphonic approach.
### The physical version of the album offers a different experience
While it’s common for artists to add bonus tracks to physical releases, Rosalía chose to add three songs to the vinyl and CD versions of *Lux*. Uniquely, these tracks are spread throughout the album.
On “Focu ‘Ranni,” a breakup song from the third movement, she sings in Sicilian: “I’ll never be your half, never your property / I’ll be mine, and of my freedom.”
The closing track from the album’s third movement, “Jeanne,” is an emotional French-Spanish ballad about self-destruction. Rosalía sings in Mandarin and later in Hebrew about being a robot girlfriend:
> “I dress up for God / not for you or anyone / I only dress up for my God,”
she croons, blending vulnerability and spiritual resolve.
### She has thoughts about her wedding
[Content on Rosalía’s thoughts about her wedding could be added here if available.]

Rosalía’s *Lux* stands as a testament to her growth as an artist and her relentless pursuit of new creative territories. Whether through classical influences, multilingual storytelling, or powerful personal narratives, this album cements her place as one of pop music’s most visionary talents.

Thamma director Aditya Sarpotdar defends use of item songs: “They’re marketing assets, but my story unfolds through them”
Filmmaker Aditya Sarpotdar, currently enjoying the success of his latest release *Thamma*, has addressed the ongoing criticism surrounding the film’s inclusion of three item songs: “Poison Baby,” “Tum Mere Na Huye,” and “Dilbar Ki Aankhon Ka.”
The director, known for the horror-comedy hit *Munjya* within the same cinematic universe, responded to the debate in an interview with SCREEN, shedding light on his creative choices and explaining how such songs play a functional role in modern storytelling and marketing.
### Aditya Sarpotdar Defends Use of Item Songs
Reacting to the backlash, Sarpotdar stated, “All these things are marketing assets that lead you into a film. What counts is what the film gives you in the end. For me, when these songs appear, they’re there because my story unfolds through them.”
He emphasized that these tracks are not inserted merely for glamour but are woven into the narrative to enhance its rhythm and emotional beats.
The discussion around *Thamma*’s music gained traction after audiences questioned the need for three distinct item songs within a horror-comedy. Addressing the criticism head-on, Sarpotdar pointed out a shift in audience perception.
“This is the same audience that loved ‘Taras’ in *Munjya* and ‘Aaj Ki Raat.’ Nobody had a problem then. But now, suddenly, it’s an issue. Maybe it’s just happening more often, so people are reacting differently,” he remarked.
### *Thamma*: A Unique Entry in the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe
*Thamma*, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna, marks the first love story set within the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe—an interconnected cinematic world that includes *Stree*, *Bhediya*, and *Munjya*.
Despite receiving mixed critical reviews, the film continues to perform steadily at the box office, drawing audiences with its unique blend of romance, supernatural intrigue, and quirky humour.
### Broader Conversation on the Role of Item Songs in Contemporary Cinema
Aditya Sarpotdar’s response reflects a larger dialogue about how item songs are evolving in modern cinema—from being standalone entertainment numbers to becoming integral narrative devices and powerful promotional tools.
As he puts it, what truly matters is the story that remains long after the music fades. With *Thamma*, Sarpotdar once again demonstrates that commercial appeal and storytelling can coexist, even if it means defending a few catchy beats along the way.
