Royal Grammar School Guildford Qatar Class of 2025 celebrates graduation ceremony
The event brought together students, families, faculty, and guests to mark a significant milestone, honoring the achievements of students poised to embark on their higher academic journeys including pursuing degrees in engineering, medicine, business, and military services both in Qatar and abroad.
'In a world that often prizes certainty and quick answers, your willingness to stay curious, to try, and to sometimes fail, has been your true success. This kind of courage will serve you far beyond today, because the future you are stepping into demands not perfection, but resilience and authenticity,' Mr David Keery, Head of Secondary School.
'Graduation isn't just an ending — it's a beginning. As you walk across this stage, you're stepping into a world that needs your creativity, your compassion, and your commitment to making a difference. Don't be afraid to dream boldly, be kind, and stand up for what's right,' Mrs Fiona Scott, Principal of RGSGQ.
A highlight of the evening was the special recognition of students who demonstrated exceptional dedication and achievement during their time at RGSGQ. Mohammed Abdelhakim Al Yafei received the Award for Arabic Reading and Writing, Bana Nasser R. A. Al-Nuaimi was recognised with the AS Graduate of Merit, the Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Prefect Programme was given to Hissa Al Naemi, and Noor Sultan Al-Jabor received the Principal's Award.
The ceremony was filled with touching anecdotes and messages, and the pride of the RGSGQ community that has watched its students grow into confident and capable young adults. RGSGQ congratulates its Class of 2025 and looks forward to watching their impact on the world. As Mrs. Scott reminded them, 'Always remember you are an RGS graduate. Be bold. Be brave. And most importantly, be true to yourself.'

Hull FC home issues resurface with Giants loss
Betfred Super League Hull FC (4) 14 Tries: Martin 3 Goals: Charles Huddersfield (18) 30 Tries: Swift, Greenwood, Bibby, Flanagan, Lolohea Goals: Flanagan 5 Hull FC missed the chance to move back into Super League's play-off positions with a shock home loss to lowly Huddersfield Giants. They would have leapfrogged Wakefield Trinity into the sixth and final spot, but were well beaten at MKM Stadium. They have now won only one of their eight home games this season - a record that is seriously harming their play-off prospects. Tries from Adam Swift, Joe Greenwood and Jake Bibby put the visitors in a commanding half-time lead. Scores after the break from George Flanagan and Tui Lolohea confirmed the win, despite a hat-trick for Hull winger Lewis Martin. The Giants remain 11th despite the victory, but they have won three of their past five away games. Huddersfield had been hammered by Wakefield last time out, but showed fine early defence to deny Harvey Barron and then Davy Litten from scoring tries in the corners. Then Swift capitalised on his side's first good field position to put them ahead. Martin's first try got Hull on the board, but two tries in three minutes allowed the Giants to take control. Greenwood touched down after a fine little kick from Matt Frawley, before Bibby took advantage of loose play between Aidan Sezer and Jordan Rapana to run in from inside his own half. Flanagan's try and goal extended the gap to 20 points early in the second period although Martin reduced that with his second try, but Lolohea powered over straight after to restore the cushion. Martin's final try was the pick of the game which allowed some fine footwork and handling involving him and Litten, but Hull's performance was a far cry from the one which had won at Wigan Warriors seven days ago. Hull FC head coach John Cartwright told BBC Radio Humberside: "We never really got into the game. It wasn't a game you wanted to be coming from behind and chasing points. "To their credit, they got in front, they got the jump on us and were good enough to stay in front. I thought Huddersfield played really well today. (On difference from last week at Wigan): "Very frustrating, very much so. Errors again were through the roof. "That's the story of the game. Too many errors and too many soft tries. A week off coming this week may be coming at the right time." Huddersfield Giants head coach Luke Robinson told BBC Radio Leeds: "It's never nice going into a break on the back of a loss so I'm really proud of the lads. "I thought we were on an upward trajectory the past four or five weeks and the Wakefield loss felt like a step backwards. "We had some honest conversations and if I didn't get a response, I would have felt like something was wrong. "Thankfully for me, the club, everyone involved, the lads responded really, really well." Hull FC: Hardaker; Barron, Litten, Rapana, Martin; Charles, Sezer; Ese'ese, Cust, Knight, Ashworth, Cartwright, Aydin. Interchanges: Briscoe, Bourouh, Eseh, Watts. Huddersfield: Flanagan; Gagai, Milne, Bibby, Swift; Lolohea, Frawley; Powell, Woolford, Rogers, Rushton, Greenwood, Cudjoe. Interchanges: Golding, English, King, Burgess. Referee: Tom Grant.

Pre-season continues
Saturday, 26 July, was another busy day for our Men's First Team at the Training Center. Having returned to work on Thursday, the Bianconeri were out for their third straight day to start the weekend. Split into two groups, the morning was dedicated to gym work indoors before the guys headed out onto the pitch for some defensive drills. In the afternoon, the focus shifted to possession work and the session ended with the usual small-sided matches. Sunday, 27 July, sees the Bianconeri back on the pitch for another double session, with the first pre-season friendly against Reggiana following just six days later. That friendly will be played at the Training Center on 2 August behind closed doors, but it will be shown live on DAZN.

Famed market bear Albert Edwards warns of an 'everything bubble' in US stocks and home prices that could soon pop
Albert Edwards warns of a potential US stock and housing market bubble. Rising interest rates and Japan's fiscal concerns could trigger market corrections, he said. Edwards publishes his notes under Société Générale's "alternative view." Société Générale's Albert Edwards, famed for calling the dot-com bubble leading up to the 2000 crash, is again warning investors of a potentially painful plunge ahead. In his latest note to clients this week, Edwards said US stocks and home prices are in an "everything bubble" that he thinks could soon pop. Stock valuations are indeed steep. The Shiller cyclically-adjusted price-to-earnings ratio sits at 38, one of its highest levels ever, and both the trailing and forward 12-month PE ratios of the S&P 500 are historically high. To Edwards, this doesn't sit well with the fact that long-term interest rates have been on the rise. Rising long-end government bond yields tend to weigh on stock-market valuations as investors can find attractive returns without taking on the high level of risk in the stock market. Yet US stocks have seen a robust rally in recent years, gaining 78% since October 2022 lows. The market's high valuations have kept future estimated equity-market yields low. When stocks are more cheaply valued, they can expect higher future returns, and vice versa. "It is notable how the US equity market has been able to sustain nose-bleed high valuations despite longer bond yields grinding higher," Edwards wrote. "I don't expect it'll be able to ignore it much longer." On housing, Edwards said that the home price-to-income ratio in the US has been virtually flat over the last few years following the pandemic bump, while the ratio has dropped in countries like the UK and France. "The US is the only market in which house price/income ratios have NOT de-rated since 2022 as bond yields have risen. Is the US housing market also exceptional relative to Europe? No, it's nonsense and, in time, investors will come to claim they knew that all along," Edwards wrote. As for what could cause the potential bubbles in US stocks and home prices to burst, Edwards said to watch Japan. "In the wake of the ruling party coalition losing its Upper House majority, concerns in the bond market about the risks of further fiscal easing and high inflation are growing," he wrote. Higher inflation in Japan could mean higher interest rates and a further unwinding of the Japanese yen carry trade, in which foreign investors borrowed cheaply in yen and converted to dollars to buy higher-yielding US assets. In 2024, the Bank of Japan unexpectedly hiked rates, roiling global markets as investors liquidated assets they had bought with borrowed yen. In May, Edwards warned rising interest rates in Japan could cause a "global financial Armageddon." Edwards publishes his notes, which regularly express a bearish outlook, under Société Générale's "alternative view," separate from the bank's house view. "A lot of clients who totally disagree with me like to read my stuff," he told Business Insider in May. "It's a reality check." Read the original article on Business Insider
