Casper Ruud was stunned by hard-hitting American Jenson Brooksby to leave the Australian Open draw without its top two men's seeds after two rounds.

The Norwegian second seed, last year's French and US Open runner-up, was chasing a first Grand Slam title and the chance to become world number one.

But the 24-year-old was outplayed by the world number 39 in a 6-3 7-5 6-7 (4-7) 6-2 defeat in the second round.

His exit follows injured top seed Rafael Nadal's loss on Wednesday.

Just in case you are not counting, we are up to part six of the ongoing series about how I got so fussy and my ongoing love affair with cheese.

Amino acids are the building blocks of many important proteins that are crucial for a happy body and mind. Our bodies cannot produce Tyrosine, so the only way to get it is by ingesting it.

By this sentence, I am sure you have guessed that cheese contains it in high volume. They're a part of cheese's main protein, which is called casein. When we eat cheese, our bodies break down the casein proteins and absorb the tyrosine into our bloodstreams.

When our bodies break down the Casein, we get another very important chemical out of it as well... Casomorphin, which is naturally occurring opioid. That's right, in the same family as morphine and heroin. So when people call cheese their drug of choice they may only be partially joking.

So what is it about Tyrosine and Casomorphin that makes us feel happier? You've likely heard of a part of the brain called the olfactory bulb, which is primarily responsible for sense of smell. It produces a large concentration of an enzyme called the tyrosine hydroxylase, which, you guessed it, reacts with tyrosine amino acids to produce some very important neurotransmitters: adrenaline, norepinephrine, and dopamine. All of which play an important role in overall mental and physical well being. Fighting depression, stress responses, ability to focus, and even the simple and most important of them all: happiness.

With money tight subscribers were expected to cut back on streaming services, or so the theory went.

But Netflix bucked that trend at the end of last year, adding more than seven million new subscribers, far more than analysts expected.

Harry and Meghan's revelations were a big draw, as was new series Wednesday and the film Glass Onion.

Chief executive Reed Hastings welcomed the stronger numbers, but announced he was stepping down as chief executive.

His long-planned move means he is leaving the firm he founded in a crowded market, with challenges ahead but with 231 million viewers signed up around the globe.

Mr Hastings, who was an early pioneer in the streaming business and is seen as one of the original tech industry disruptors, will stay on as executive chairman.

The firm will now be run by Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters, both already in senior executive positions.

As if you needed more reasons to understand why cheese has become such an important part of our culture, Tyrosine is also a gameplayer in some types of hormones, that are used to treat Parkinson's and other similar later-life ailments. It also helps protect against sun damage, and helps produce insulin in your body. There are a great many studies in fact that proudly proclaim that regularly consuming cheese can lead to a longer, healthier, and happier life and it's not hard to see why.

A car belonging to British actor Julian Sands has been found near to where he was reported missing.

Mr Sands disappeared on Friday while hiking in the Baldy Bowl area of the San Gabriel Mountains, north of Los Angeles.

Ground teams abandoned their search at the weekend over avalanche risks but will resume when conditions improve.

Mr Sands, 65, is known for roles in popular films and TV dramas including A Room With A View, 24 and Smallville.

The San Bernandino County Sherriff's department said his vehicle was located in a car park, believed to be where he left it before setting out on his hike.

His family have towed it away, police added.

His friends have expressed their concerns after his disappearance was confirmed.

Switch between 1912 and the modern day as you play in 2 time periods

The number of stars that people can see with the naked eye has reduced dramatically over the last decade.

The cause is "Skyglow" from artificial lighting - the brightness of that glow has increased every year since 2011.

Dr Christopher Kyba, a scientist from the German Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam, told the BBC: "Our view of the stars is disappearing".

He and his colleagues published this discovery in the journal Science.

It is the conclusion of 12 years of amateur astronomers and citizen scientists going out at night to count the stars.

The change in stars' visibility that people reported - by submitting their star counts to an online project called Globe at Night - was equivalent to an almost 10% annual increase in sky brightness every year.

That means, the scientists say, that a child born in an area where 250 stars were visible, would probably see fewer than 100 stars in the same location 18 years later.

Mount Merapi is due for a colossal eruption and experts warn the eruption would cut off one of the world's most important shipping routes - the Strait of Malacca in the Pacific Ocean.

The snobbery is unreal from some.

The coyote is a prominent character in Native American folklore, mainly in Aridoamerica, usually depicted as a trickster that alternately assumes the form of an actual coyote or a man. As with other trickster figures, the coyote uses deception and humor to rebel against social conventions. The animal was especially respected in Mesoamerican cosmology as a symbol of military might. After the European colonization of the Americas, it was seen in Anglo-American culture as a cowardly and untrustworthy animal. Unlike wolves, which have seen their public image improve, attitudes towards the coyote remain largely negative.
