Starting in 2010, Tess Waresmith spent three years working on a cruise ship, first as a high-diver and acrobat, and then as a shopping guide for vacationers. For someone who had graduated from college a year earlier, it was a huge opportunity, Waresmith says. Not only was this a paying gig in an economy otherwise ravaged by recession, but food and living expenses on the ship were covered. “Over a couple year period, I thought to myself, ‘This is my chance to save as much as possible ,” Waresmith says. After a couple years of dutifully socking away cash, a friend aboard the ship suggested that she could be doing more with her funds than let them sit in the bank. “He was just like, ‘Tess, you can use the money you’re hoarding to buy things that make you more money,’” she says. “I knew that investing was a thing, but I’d never thought about it from that frame.” Waresmith, now 36, took that advice and ran with it. She currently has more than $US1 ($A1.6) million in stocks, real estate and other investments. In 2021, she founded financial education firm Wealth with Tess , with the aim of helping others follow her path while avoiding some of the pitfalls. In those early years, Waresmith remembers one pitfall in particular. “With stock market investing, I was really afraid to do it wrong, so I hired a financial adviser, and they made a lot of really bad decisions on my behalf,” she says. “I was paying over 2 per cent in fees. They sold me an annuity better suited for people in their 50s. I was 26.” Here’s how she says you can avoid falling into a similar trap. Waresmith did what a lot of experts might have suggested: hire a professional. But since she wasn’t too familiar with finance, Waresmith didn’t know that the advisor she chose was running a suboptimal strategy on her behalf. “It’s tough to identify red flags if you don’t have basic knowledge of investing. And when I say basic knowledge, I mean reading one or two books or taking one course,” she says. “You don’t have to have a Ph.D. in investing or be an analyst, but I didn’t really see red flags, because I wouldn’t have even been able to recognise them back then.” It took her a while to realize that her portfolio was lagging the market — both because her adviser had chosen underperforming mutual funds and because high fees were eating into her returns . Rather than charging a flat rate , her adviser charged a fee equivalent to 1 per cent of the value of her portfolio, plus a 0.25 per cent to use the adviser’s online investing platform. Some of the actively mutual funds her adviser chose came with expense ratios north of 0.75 per cent. The strategy, Waresmith eventually realised, was meant to make things more complicated than necessarily. “These were actively managed mutual funds and there were dozens of them,” she says. “It was way over-engineered.” Then there was the annuity, an often expensive financial instrument meant to provide income for retirees in exchange for fronting a lump sum of money. Waresmith put $US20,000 in — money she hasn’t been able to recoup. “When I turn 60, I’ll get a couple of bucks a month, or something from that,” she says. “It was a big mistake. No one should have sold me that.” Once she realised she was being charged for an overly complex, underperforming plan, Waresmith cut ties with her adviser and endeavoured to keep things simple. Instead of paying an expensive adviser to manage expensive funds, she opened her own account and invested in low-cost index funds. The advantages of investing this way are well documented. Index funds aim to replicate the performance of a market index, rather than trying to outperform it. While some active managers manage to beat the market, the vast majority don’t. Over the 10 years that ended in June 2024, about 29 per cent of active funds survived and outpaced their average indexed peer, according to Morningstar . Funds that track popular indexes, such as the S&P 500, give investors exposure to a broad array of stocks and come with very low costs. “Index funds are a great way to get started and to understand the basics of the stock market and to get your money invested in a really diversified, low-fee way,” Waresmith says.

Thick fog disrupts flights on busy UK travel weekendThe National Basketball Association (NBA) is taking a first step back into the huge Chinese market with two preseason games set to take place in Macao next October, five years after the league was effectively blocked from China. The Brooklyn Nets and the Phoenix Suns will play the preseason games on October 10 and 12 at the Venetian Arena next year, while an NBA Flagship Store will also open in Macao. "Bringing preseason games to Macao will showcase the excitement of the NBA to fans in one of the world's emerging hubs for sports," NBA Deputy Commissioner and COO Mark Tatum said in a press release. "The Nets and the Suns feature an exciting mix of established and rising stars, and we look forward to engaging fans, aspiring players and the local community in Macao through these games and a variety of interactive events, youth development programs and social impact initiatives." NBA teams command a huge following in China, where basketball is wildly popular. The league has not staged a game in the country since 2019, when a tweet in support of pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong from the Houston Rockets' then general manager Daryl Morey sparked a political firestorm. At the time, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver refused to punish or censor Morey – who is currently the Philadelphia 76ers' president of basketball operations – prompting ire from Beijing and leading the sports station of China's central broadcaster to stop showing the league's games for a year. Hong Kong was roiled by pro-democracy protests in 2019, which at times brought several hundreds of thousands of people onto the streets to push for democracy in the city. Like Macao, Hong Kong is considered a special administrative region of China, partly distinct from the mainland. Beijing repeatedly accused Western democratic forces of working to fuel the popular Hong Kong protests and lashed out at any support for the movement, which died out in 2020 when the capital imposed a sweeping national security law on the city. Silver said two years ago that the NBA had lost "hundreds of millions of dollars" in revenue following the fallout with China, with whom the league had shared a long-standing relationship. According to Reuters, 17 NBA teams played 28 games in China between 2004 and 2019. However, tensions between the league and the country now appear to have thawed, with a legends game featuring six former NBA stars set be held in Macao on Saturday. "We always love the opportunity to compete on the global stage and we are grateful to participate in the NBA China Games 2025," said Brooklyn Nets general manager Sean Marks. "The Brooklyn Nets have an incredible fanbase around the globe and we can't wait to bring our love of the game directly to our fans while giving our players and coaches the opportunity to immerse themselves in a different culture." Phoenix Suns CEO Josh Bartelstein, meanwhile, added that playing in Macao is part of the team's vision to "bring the Suns to a global audience and impact fans across the world."

The ErgoChair Ultra looks like a standard office chair from a distance, but it’s anything but. Beneath the seat cushion on this bad boy, you’ll find a web of 3D-printed helical springs that provide a surprisingly lively bounce while still letting you sink into your seat. It may not have a billion points of adjustment, but it has a pleasantly pliable body joined to a confidently sturdy frame. I’ve had this chair for just shy of a month, and I profess now that I will struggle to get rid of it. It may not have the most bells and whistles compared to other similarly-priced chairs, but it’s perfect for my height with little adjustment. I relished the assembly process with this chair, which took less than five minutes, and I especially enjoyed using no tools whatsoever. I may have been a mechanic in a past life, but I can still get tired of using Allen wrenches. At $600, this chair plants itself firmly as a mid-range model, but the attention to detail that went into its engineering is top-notch. One of the biggest benefits of 3D printing designs is that you can optimize every millimeter of your product, and it’s evident that that work paid off when Autonomous’s team rolled their sleeves up and grabbed the TPE. My Autonomous ErgoChair Ultra review will help you decide if this is the best office chair for you or if you’d be better off with one that has more adjustment points. Autonomous ErgoChair Ultra: Cheat Sheet Autonomous ErgoChair Ultra: Specs Autonomous ErgoChair Ultra: The ups This chair is pretty darn comfy, but that's not all it has going for it. This chair was a blast from the moment I took off the packaging to right now, as I write this review while sitting in it. These are some of the big notes that really demonstrate how this chair shines. Seamless (and tool-free) assembly I didn’t get many pictures of the assembly process for this chair, and that’s because it happened so quickly that I questioned what steps were even worth documenting. All you have to do is connect the seat and backrest, drop the gas cylinder into its base, and attach the casters with your bare hands. No tools whatsoever. I spent far more time ripping off packaging than I did handling the hardware itself. This does come at the cost of a fairly bulky delivery, which I’ll elaborate on later, but I ultimately felt extremely satisfied putting this chair together. It was the fourth or fifth piece of large furniture I had assembled that week, and getting to forego yet another baggie of allen wrenches and cryptic instructions made my whole month. Next-level cushioning I was so blown away by the amount of comfort I experienced with this chair that I was curious to see exactly what was going on under the seat. Luckily, Autonomous sent me a cutout of another cushion so I could see what was going on with the innards. In short, it was a whole lot more and a whole lot less than I expected. The 3D-printed springs immediately under the top layer of foam are, in essence, the selling point for this whole chair. They’re laid out in a web that lines the entire seat, and they compress just a few millimeters to give you a tinge of energetic pliability without feeling like you’re sitting on a bunch of bumps. To bring the suspension in this seat to the next level, there’s also a considerable air gap between the array of springs and the bottom of the seat. It’s well over an inch of extra flex, and it allows the cushion as a whole to wrap a bit more thoroughly around your rump and let that dynamic cushioning do its work in multiple directions. A sturdy backrest When I first saw the backrest for this chair in person, I was expecting to be leaned back and plugged into the Matrix. This chair looks like alien technology, but this loud design has a purpose to its peculiarity: it’s an impressively redundant support system that keeps the mesh lining of the backrest from feeling flimsy or precarious. There’s no hard frame outlining the edge of the backrest, but rather six arms that grab onto a semi-malleable backing plate for the mesh. This means the edges of the backrest are just as soft as the middle, but there’s still enough structural support that you can properly sink your weight into this chair without worrying about compromising the decidedly impressive (for my size) lumbar support. Autonomous ErgoChair Ultra: The downs This chair is one of the comfiest I've ever tested, but I do have a handful of nitpicks related to what this chair offers in terms of adjustability at this price point. I also may be a special case, but I had a few frustrations with the delivery process in my tiny Philly apartment. Bulky delivery Before I go off about this detail, I should clarify that my apartment’s entryway is comically small and difficult to navigate. It cost me a lot of my good furniture when I first moved in. That said, it’s worth noting that a consequence of this chair’s quick assembly is that the large pre-assembled pieces come in a gargantuan box. I still have no idea how they got this thing into my mail room. After lugging this package (that’s far bigger than me) up the stairs to my apartment, I ultimately had to assemble this chair in my building’s hallway with an audience of about 15 Philadelphians going about their day. Luckily, I was only in the hallway for a few minutes, but I was looking forward to assembling this one in the comfort of my own office. Adjustability could be more intricate To Autonomous’s credit, this chair has plenty of the essential adjustments, and they all work well: seat height, seat fore-aft position, tilt angle, tilt tension, and armrest height all come standard. I had no problem dialing these in for my preferences within just a few minutes, and I’ve hardly had to fiddle with anything for the past few weeks. At this price, however, I do wish there were a few finer adjustments, especially relating to the backrest. The lumbar support on this chair is exceptional for me at my height (5’11”), but there’s no way to adjust its height or contour. Similarly, the backrest as a whole has no vertical adjustment. This lack of moving parts does make the chair feel wonderfully sturdy, but I’m sure that sturdiness would be less admirable to someone who doesn’t like where the lumbar bump sits relative to their back. For a quick fix, you can adjust the fore-aft position of the seat cushion and recline the chair as far back as it can go, but I’ve found this position far more frequently inspires naptime than a productive work session. Autonomous ErgoChair Ultra: Verdict Overall, the Autonomous ErgoChair Ultra is supremely comfortable out of the box compared to other freshly assembled chairs. It’s easy to get a good ballpark fit with this chair, and the seat itself is cushioned well enough that even a slightly subpar fit feels fantastic. The back is breathable thanks to its mesh lining, but it’s still sturdy thanks to its borderline-overbuilt spine. I’ve had this chair for just shy of a month, and it has consistently been the chair I’ve chosen for sitting when I don’t have obligations to test another model. That said, I worry how well this chair fits others who aren’t my size (5 feet 11 inches). The lumbar support on this chair is superb for me, but it’s not height-adjustable, which may prove a comfort hindrance to anyone who’s particularly short or tall.

BOISE, Idaho — Ashton Jeanty ran for 209 yards and a touchdown and No. 10 Boise State earned a College Football Playoff spot, beating No. 19 UNLV 21-7 on Friday night for its second straight Mountain West title. Boise State (12-1, No. 10 CFP) is all but assured of a first-round bye in the playoffs if it maintains its ranking ahead of the Big 12 winner and finishes as one of the four highest-ranked conference champs. “In January when they were playing tug of war on the field with their shirts off, they talked about what they wanted to do this season,” Boise State coach Spencer Danielson said. “They wanted to win a conference championship and make it to the college playoffs, and they worked for that.” Jeanty, who had the spotlight to himself to state his Heisman case, didn’t disappoint, ripping off an electrifying 75-yard touchdown run. It was his fifth TD run of 70 yards or more this season, tying LaDainian Tomlinson’s FBS season record. Jeanty also surpassed 1981 Heisman winner Marcus Allen of Southern California to move into fourth place on the FBS season rushing list and needs 132 more to pass record-holder Barry Sanders of Oklahoma State. Maddux Madsen threw a touchdown pass and rushed for another score for the Broncos. UNLV (10-3, No. 20 CFP), which entered the game seventh nationally in scoring offense averaging 38.7 points, hadn’t been held below 23 this season.

Credit: AP/Steve Conner “I have been in championship games before and come up on the wrong end of them,” UNLV coach Barry Odom said. “But you continue to learn from them and move your organization forward and find a way to get back to a game like this and win it.” However, Odom didn’t mince words when describing how he felt about Boise State, which handed his team two of their three losses. “Good luck to anyone who comes here and thinks they’re going to win the game,” Odom said. “I think they’re one of the best teams in college football right now. And I think they’ll do a great job representing this conference. They’re built to make a run.” With UNLV loading the box with eight or nine defenders early in the game, Boise State leaned heavily on Madsen in the first quarter. And he delivered, completing six of his first seven passes, including a 22-yard scoring strike to Latrell Caples for a 7-0 lead.

Credit: AP/Steve Conner Madsen used his legs to put the Broncos ahead 14-0, scrambling for a 14-yard TD run with 2:40 left in the first half. After a quick stop, Boise State got the ball back and let Jeanty work his magic. Two plays later, he raced through the teeth of the defense and sprinted to the end zone for a 75-yard TD run, giving the Broncos a 21-0 lead with 29 seconds left in the half. UNLV had a chance to claw back into it late in the third quarter when Kylin James raced 86 yards before Seyi Oladipo ran him down at the Boise State 5. But the Rebels lost 4 yards on the next four plays and failed to score. The Rebels finally got into the end zone with 9:06 left on a Greg Burrell 31-yard run. Hajj-Malik Williams led UNLV offensively with 110 yards passing and 56 yards rushing. Takeaways UNLV: Odom, who guided the Rebels to their first 10-win season in 40 years, has the program headed in the right direction after UNLV had just seven wins in the three seasons before his arrival. If he continues to recruit well and build through the transfer portal like he did this season, the Rebels should contend for the Mountain West title. Boise State: First-year coach Spencer Danielson delivered what the program’s fan base has been starving for since it made waves in the college football world in 2006 by going undefeated and beating Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl. But now this team has a chance to take it one step further and take down one of the sport’s blue bloods in the playoffs. Up next Boise State awaits the selection show Sunday to find out who and when it will play in the College Football Playoff.
