Modern brand suffixes are weird! A PM decoder ring to help:

"Prime": really hoping the convenience distracts from subsistence wages and union-busting

"Plus"/"+": oh god, we're tired and we've been at this branding offsite for 3 days; make it stop!

"Pro": not advised for use in professional settings

"a"/"ti": last year's product, fixed

"X": too late for Prime, too early for Plus

[other roman neumerals]: not for the US market

"Studio": costs as much as a studio

• Here come the late summer wildflowers! This aster has sprays of blossoms with fizzy yellow centers and narrow white petals, and long narrow leaves growing from the 4-5 foot tall stalk. Some flowers are fully open but most are buds, some still tightly clenched and others reaching out petals. A field and woods make a blurred background.

Finance whistleblower at Booz Allen Hamilton files a qui tam lawsuit alleging fraud, received ~$70m out of BA's $377m settlement (of which $209m in restitution).

Article adds: $2.2bn recovered last year from 351 out of 652 cases filed; BA's share price ended up after settlement; lack of consequences such as disbarment likely means no real deterrent.
