Scripps National Spelling Bee finals air Thursday night
May 29 (UPI) -- The final round of the prestigious Scripps National Spelling Bee gets underway at 8 p.m. EDT on Thursday with nine contestants vying for the title. The event pits 243 spelling champions from every state and the U.S. territories of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands to determine which one earns the Scripps Cup during the spelling competition's 100th year. Contestants from Canada, the Bahamas, Germany, Ghana, Kuwait and Nigeria also compete for the title. National Spelling Bee contestants must not be older than age 15 or have progressed beyond the eighth grade. They advance to the National Spelling Bee by competing in regional competitions. This year's nine finalists are between the ages of 11 and 14. Last year's runner-up, Faizan Zaki, 13, from Allen, Texas, is among the nine finalists. He lost in a tie-breaking spell-off to last year's winner, Bruhat Soma. The winner receives a custom trophy, $52,500 in cash prizes, a commemorative medal and a one-year subscription to reference works from Merriam-Webster and the Encyclopedia Britannica. All finalists receive at least $2,000, with the second-place finisher winning $25,000. More than one person can tie for the championship. When two or more contestants tie for the title, each receives the $50,000 grand prize from the National Spelling Bee. The finals will be aired live on ion, which is available via streaming and many television cable and satellite subscription services. This year's National Spelling Bee began on Tuesday, when 60 contestants were eliminated during a preliminary spelling and vocabulary round. Another 84 spellers were eliminated later on Tuesday after completing a written spelling and vocabulary test. Three quarterfinal rounds held narrowed the field to 57 semifinalists on Wednesday, and four semifinal rounds produced the nine contestants who qualified for Thursday night's final round. The Scripps National Spelling Bee has been held annually since 1925, when nine students competed for the title. It was suspended from 1943 to 1945 due to World War II and in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The competition has created a historical archive to celebrate the spelling competition's centennial year. This year's competition is its 97th and is being held at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Md., which has hosted the event since 2011.

Yes, there's an award for the world's best wool — and San Francisco just hosted it
In the world of high fashion, there is so-called 'quiet luxury' typified by subtle colors, a lack of discernible logos and exquisite craftsmanship. Just picture the billionaire spawn on 'Succession' or Jennifer Aniston's penthouse-dwelling newscaster on 'The Morning Show' if you need a visual reference. Then there's Loro Piana: The century-old Italian maison specializing in fine wool is so quiet, it doesn't even whisper — it just silently pantomimes. So it was no surprise when I entered the rotunda at San Francisco City Hall for the Loro Piana Record Bale Award on Wednesday, May 28, that the atmosphere was a sea of discreet taupe, bone and eggshell — both in the decor and attire of the clients of the brand. It was one of the few times covering parties in San Francisco when wearing black or navy (both usually safe) seemed like an act of sartorial rebellion. The Loro Piana Record Bale Award has been given since 1997 to recognize two farms (one in Australia and one in New Zealand) that produce the finest bale of Merino wool. For sheep breeders, it's like winning an Oscar. Given San Francisco's famed fog — and density of billionaires (the brand's prices are in the thousands) — the city felt like an appropriate host. 'I think there is a level of consumer here that can understand what we're doing,' said Loro Piana deputy chairman Pier Luigi Loro Piana. 'If we can please, somehow, the beautiful customer we have in San Francisco and California, we are pretty happy.' Should you ever get invited to the Bale Award presentation, take note: One must not use the term "shepherd,' which is apparently declasse. Also, no one will find it funny if you ask if any livestock are in attendance, nor should you inquire about Mary and her little lamb. Ditto Little Bo Peep. While no sheep were present (bahhhh humbug), their wool was an essential part of the experience. Guests included Mayor Daniel Lurie and director of protocol for Governor Gavin Newsom Becca Prowda; philanthropist Sako Fisher and hedge fund manager William Fisher; former ambassador to Austria Trevor Traina and author Alexis Swanson Traina; Apple's vice president of design Alan Dye and fashion designer Elizabeth Dye; San Francisco's Consul General of Italy Sergio Strozzi; animal welfare philanthropist Vanessa Getty; Google cofounder Sergey Brin, and incoming Loro Piana CEO Frédéric Arnault (son of billionaire LVMH founder Bernard Arnault, which owns an 80% stake of Loro Piana). All were invited to feel award-winning bales on display to understand just how luxurious the raw material is, thanks to its ultra-low micron counts. (A micron is a unit of measurement of the fineness of a fiber that is equivalent to one thousandth of a millimetre. By comparison, a human hair measures 80 microns.) I was instructed in the proper way to touch the wool, which is to pat the top of the bale with the palm. It was like caressing a cloud: I felt like my hand had entered another dimension, possibly heaven, or maybe Narnia. The centerpiece of the evening was a panel moderated by social media content creator 'The Gstaad Guy,' whose posts cheekily poke fun at the tastes of the uber rich. Joining him were Piana, current Loro Piana CEO Damien Bertrand, Australian sheep breeder Bradley Sandlant of the Pyrenees Park farm, and New Zealand sheep breeder Warwick Payne of the Visulea farm. Piana made an appropriately Italian analogy for the role of fine wool in the construction of fashion. 'If you want to make a good fabric, you have to start from a good raw material,' Piana said. 'Exactly as at a restaurant, if you want to make a good pasta, you need to have the right ingredients.' Bertrand noted that 'Loro Piana is a chain of hands from the sheep to the shop.' At the conclusion of the panel, Sandlant was awarded the 2024 Bale Award for Australia for a 10.5-micron bale, while Payne was awarded for New Zealand for a 10.8-micron bale. Following the award presentation, guests adjourned to the North Light Court of City Hall for a dinner by celebrity chef Michael Tusk (Cotogna, Quince). Dahlias, peonies and electronic candles punctuated the table that stretched across the room. Sandlant noted that such evenings were not the norm for his family in their life as sheep breeders (not shepherds.) 'Most of our day-to-day stuff in the country is just a regular farmer doing the best we can do,' said Sandlant. 'But to be able to produce a product that gets us around the world to follow and meet wonderful people that buy the end result product, that passion really drives us.' As I made my exit, I stroked the wool a final time. There's soft, and then there's Loro Piana award-winning bale soft: Cashmere and vicuña will probably feel like sandpaper in comparison. I hope the sheep back in Australia and New Zealand were partying too.
