It was the second straight loss by a Power Four team in the tournament after Miami fell to Drake in the opener. Florida Atlantic (4-2) plays the Bulldogs in the semifinals on Friday, while Oklahoma State (3-1) battles the Hurricanes in a consolation game. Leland Walker completed a three-point play with 4:38 left in the second half to give FAU its first lead, 68-67, since it was 16-14. Tandy made a 3-pointer from the corner to cap FAU’s 11-1 run for a 75-68 lead with 2:41 left. Oklahoma State went five-plus minutes without a field goal late in the second half until Brandon Newman made a fast-break layup with 1:17 remaining. But Ken Evans Jr. answered with a three-point play at the other end for a nine-point lead. The Cowboys turned it over on their next possession with 52.3 seconds left. Evans finished with 13 points, Walker scored 12 and Tre Carroll had 10 for FAU. The Owls attempted 49 free throws leading to three Oklahoma State players fouling out and three others finishing with four fouls. Khalil Brantley had 16 points and Robert Jennings II scored a career-high 14 points to go with 11 rebounds for Oklahoma State. Patrick Suemnick was helped off the floor with 1:40 left in the first half and did not return. Oklahoma State led 39-34 at halftime despite making just 33.3% of its shots. FAU shot a better percentage from the field (47.8) than at the free-throw line (46.7) in the first half. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .

While Mikel Arteta delighted in Arsenal’s third win in succession, to climb back to second in the Premier League, his fellow Basque Julen Lopetegui was annoyed by the Gunners’ use of unfair means at corners in West Ham’s 5-2 derby defeat . The damage was done to the Hammers in a first half in which a Premier League record-equalling seven goals were scored, and Lopetegui, his future uncertain after such a heavy defeat, felt at least two of Arsenal’s goals should have been disallowed. “I think that we deserved two goals in the first half but they didn’t deserve five,” he said. The corner routine that brought Arsenal’s 10th-minute opener from Gabriel particularly annoyed Lopetegui. “There is one player that bumped into the back of [Lucas] Paquetá with the only intention that he can’t jump.” The Brazilian, at the front post, had been baulked by Jurriën Timber. “The rules have to be the same for all of us.” Lopetegui said his team had been prepared for the routine as devised by Nicolas Jover, Arsenal’s acclaimed set-piece specialist. “The first was a set piece that we prepared and, in my opinion, has been a very, very clear foul. We were unlucky with the decisions today. We asked before the match, the referee with the block, as a coach we have to know the limit.” Arsenal’s fifth goal, halting a two-goal revival from West Ham, was a penalty scored by Bukayo Saka, awarded after Lukasz Fabianski had caught Gabriel in the face with an attempted punch. “I think that killed the match,” said Lopetegui. “You compare the contact in the first goal in the block with Paquetá ... But it is not one excuse because we have and we can do better for sure.” In contrast Arteta was celebrating. “It was a spectacular 30 minutes straight away, how much the team wanted it, the purpose, the determination, the quality that we delivered to score three,” he said. “[They were] great goals in different ways and then we score the fourth one as well in a great way as well.” There was also praise for Bukayo Saka’s contribution: “He has been really consistent with scoring, assisting and always being available for us so, really good.” Sign up to Football Daily Kick off your evenings with the Guardian's take on the world of football after newsletter promotion Victory completed a successful week for resurgent Arsenal. “Winning three consecutive games against three opponents is great,” Arteta said, before referencing Sunday’s showdown meeting between title rivals Liverpool and Manchester City. “We had to do our job and we’ve done it today in a really convincing way. And yeah, we’re going to enjoy tonight and watch a beautiful game of football tomorrow.”

The Denver Broncos had a bit of drama going on this offseason between them and their best offensive player, Courtland Sutton. If you remember correctly, Sutton wanted a new deal with a bit more money, and in a way, he got that. He wanted more guaranteed money, and they gave him that, along with some incentives. In other words, the Broncos set out some target goals of stats that, if he reached them, would grant him more money. Well, after a great start to the season for Sutton, who is looking elite in 2024, it's safe to say he will need the help of his rookie quarterback Bo Nix even more. He's just six yards from securing an additional $250 thousand and 321 yards from claiming the entire $1.5 million bonus that he initially signed on for with the extension the Denver Broncos gave him. Sutton already unlocked $500 thousand by eclipsing 500 receiving yards. The Broncos have a tough schedule coming up against some decent pass defenses. But, it seems like they are going to be very capable of getting the passing game going, especially when it comes to getting Sutton the ball. The Broncos are one of the hottest teams on offense the last few weeks. They dominated the Atlanta Falcons and really were in control the whole time against the Las Vegas Raiders. With a game against the Cleveland Browns next, the Broncos should be in good shape.

He advised Telangana chief minister A Revanth Reddy to distance himself while he still could. Addressing a public meeting held by BJP at Saroornagar Stadium on Saturday, December 7, Nadda said that Congress was “standing on the crutches and running with the support of regional parties.” “Congress has been working on four principles- as long as you live, live happily, enjoy, borrow and drink ghee. When everything is over, who will remember whom?” he remarked, commenting on the state government taking loans. Comparing the Congress’ guarantees with a magician’s tricks, Nadda said that whether it was in Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka or Telangana, the party hasn’t fulfilled its election promises after coming to power. Listing out Congress’s promises, including giving Rs 12,000 per year to auto drivers, providing unemployment allowance to job-seekers, loan waiver of up to Rs 2 lakh, establishing 6,000 new schools, Rs 12,000 per year assistance to farm workers among the few, Nadda questioned whether the promises were fulfilled or not. As the mobilisation for the public meeting was thin, the ‘nay-saying voices’ were less in number and low in volume. Nadda claimed that through the devolution of taxes, the Modi government has provided Rs 1.60 lakh crore along with Rs 1.19 lakh crore as grants-in-aid to Telangana. He also said that the works for the establishment of the All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) at Bibinagar will be completed shortly. Highlighting BJP secured seven seats in the Lok Sabha election from Telangana, Nadda expressed confidence that the saffron party will come to power in Telangana eventually. Union minister of state for home affairs Bandi Sanjay, addressing the meeting alleged that CM Revanth was a puppet in the hands of “urban naxals.” “Those appointed by the Congress government in the education commission are urban naxals. Half of the state government comprises urban naxals. Revanth Reddy’s government is trying to turn the youth of the state into naxals. Do you want to become someone like Ambedkar, Shivaji, Savarkar, Swami Vivekananda, Sardar Patel, or an urban naxal?” he asked the crowd. Bandi Sanjay also alleged that CM Revanth has a ‘secret dealing’ with BRS chief K Chandrashekar Rao and claimed it was this reason why senior leaders of the pink party, KTR and Harish Rao, are still not in jail.

Tokyo Metropolitan University researchers employed long-term skin conductance measurements to distinguish between emotions . Volunteers were given videos representing frightening scenarios, family bonding, and humour while their skin conductance was measured. The team's investigation revealed that traces might be used to create accurate estimations about which emotions were being experienced. Advances like this assist in reducing an overreliance on facial data, bringing emotionally sensitive technologies closer to home. Can skin conductance predict emotions? A new frontier is being pioneered in consumer electronics: one day, digital devices might be able to offer services depending on your emotional state. While this sounds amazing, this depends on whether devices can correctly tell what people are feeling . The most common methods depend on facial expressions: while these have had some success, such data may not always be available. This has led to researchers looking for different biological signals which could be interpreted to access emotional states, like brain wave measurements or cardiograms. A team of scientists led by Professor Shogo Okamoto from Tokyo Metropolitan University have been using skin conductance as a doorway to human emotions. When people feel different things, the electrical properties of their skin change drastically due to perspiration, with signals showing up within one to three seconds of the original stimulus. Previous research has already shown that measurements of peak conductance, for example, can be correlated with certain emotions. In their most recent work, the team focused on the dynamics of the response i.e. how quickly the conductance trace following some stimulus reaches a peak, and how it decays back to normal. Emotion reading devices In their experiment, volunteers were asked to wear probes on the skin and watch videos which were either scary scenes from horror movies, emotional scenes of family bonding, or funny acts performed by comedians. Importantly, each of the scenes had well-defined points at which a certain emotional stimulus was sought. Analyzing the traces, the team found many interesting and significant trends. For example, they found that the response to fear lasted the longest. This may be a biologically evolved trait, since there are benefits to perceptions of danger lasting longer. Comparing responses to humor and emotional scenes of family bonding, they found responses to family bonding seemed to increase more slowly. The emotions that were evoked were most likely a mixture of sadness and happiness, so it may be that they interfere with each other, leading to a slower change. Importantly, the team's statistical analysis revealed that the different numbers extracted from the dynamics of the trace could be used to discriminate the emotional state of an individual. Though they can't yet tell the emotions apart perfectly, the data could, for example, be used to make statistically significant predictions of whether a subject was experiencing fear or feeling the warmth of a family bond. Combined with other signals, the team believe we are one step closer to devices knowing how we are feeling, with scope for a better understanding of human emotions.Tokyo Metropolitan University researchers employed long-term skin conductance measurements to distinguish between emotions .
