They’re part of a whimsical trend among people who frequently vacation on the seas. The cruising duck enthusiasts, who at times refer to themselves as “quackers,” have been packing rubber ducks onto ships by the dozens, sometimes hundreds, to hide and leave for other passengers to find. The fad is believed to have begun in 2018, when a 10-year-old girl hid toy ducks for fellow cruisers to find during a family vacation. Her parents created what is considered the original “Cruising Ducks” Facebook page, which has ballooned into a large online community. The Facebook page has attracted nearly 275,000 quackers and has close to 100 posts a day about hiding, finding, decorating and just loving the ducks.

Though Hasbro's revenue declined 18% overall for the quarter, its Wizards of the Coast and digital gaming segment saw 20% revenue growth.

Japanese cities like Tokyo and Kyoto, are traditionally known for shrines, temples and historic cultural sites. But as the birthplace of anime, manga and, of course, Pokémon, Japan is also a pop culture powerhouse and a hotbed of kid-friendly activities, from practicing ninja skills to spending time with Snorlax. For a family trip, “the beauty of Japan is you can walk five steps and easily attract the attention of a child,” said Ramesh Krishan, who goes by the name RamKy and whose company, Japan Unfiltered, specializes in candid tours of Tokyo, Mount Fuji and other destinations. “It could be a capsule toy-dispensing machine, a karaoke bar with interesting desserts on display, or even the peppy music heard playing inside train stations.”Here are six stops on a family-oriented tour of the country’s most-visited cities.

CNN —Toy company Mattel has launched the first ever blind Barbie in its latest move to make the iconic doll more inclusive and represent more sections of society. “To be accepted so much that the most popular doll in the world now has a visual impairment and looks like me. I still can’t believe I’m typing this but blind Barbie is here.”Lucy Edwards, a blind broadcaster and disability activist, poses with the first blind Barbie to be released by Mattel. “We recognize that Barbie is much more than just a doll; she represents self-expression and can create a sense of belonging,” said Krista Berger, senior vice president of Barbie and global head of dolls, in a statement. Alongside the first blind Barbie doll, Mattel is also releasing a Black Barbie doll with Down syndrome to further diversify its range, a year after it released its first ever doll with the genetic condition.

In a Tuesday interview with CNBC's Jim Cramer, Mattel CEO Ynon Kreiz didn't address a reported takeover offer, and instead said he's positive about the Barbie maker's success as its own company. "What I can say is that we're very confident in Mattel's strategy and our ability to create long-term shareholder value as a standalone company." Despite the monster success of the Barbie movie last summer, Mattel's share price has declined over the past several months. But Kreiz said he was confident in the Barbie brand, saying Mattel's share price doesn't "reflect the success we've had to date" or "future potential." "So we are well-positioned to build on this multi-year trajectory, and continue to execute our strategy, and expect the share price to reflect this over time."

Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., is seen in the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, September 6, 2023. Independent Sen. Joe Manchin on Sunday called on President Joe Biden to exit the race against former President Donald Trump. Along with Manchin, 36 Democratic lawmakers, including four senators, have called on Biden to exit the race and allow a new nominee to take the helm of the ticket. Over the past week, Manchin had been hinting at his slipping support for Biden as the presumptive Democratic nominee. Throughout the Biden administration, Manchin has positioned himself as a conservative Democrat, sometimes opposing large parts of the president's agenda.

Take activist hedge funds, which buy up a percentage of a company's stock (or an asset) and then use their weight to push for operational changes. Or there would be a fun, splashy war between the hedge fund and the C-suite. Hedge funds rely on outperforming the market when times are hard and it's easier to find pockets of outperformance and exploit them. Of course, hedge funds are having a hard time coming up with a crew because the clients have changed too. Advertisement"At the end of the 1960s, the bubble burst, and everyone thought, 'That's the end of hedge funds,'" Mallaby said.

The Siamese crocodiles successfully hatched in five different nests in the Cardamom National Park in Cambodia, according to a statement from nature conservation charity Fauna & Flora Thursday. Siamese crocodiles are a freshwater species that can grow up to 4 meters (13.1 feet) in length. As part of these efforts, Siamese crocodiles are bred in captivity and then released into the wild, with 196 crocodiles successfully released since 2012. This suggests that long-term protection efforts are helping populations to start increasing again, said Flora & Fauna. “This discovery indicates that our conservation efforts have paid off, and I believe that with our ongoing conservation efforts, the population of Siamese crocodiles will continue to increase in the future,” said Chorn.
