No Comments on CAG to deploy AI, machine learning for faster, accurate audits

The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) will use these tools for voucher verification and risk detection and will expand remote and hybrid audits in complex revenue areas such as goods and services tax, stamp duty and public works, deputy CAGs A.M. Bajaj and K.S. Subramanian said in an interview.

These technologies are expected to significantly reduce manual workload, enhance anomaly detection, and enable predictive identification of high-risk areas, making audits more focused and data-driven, they said.

CAG is reshaping audit practices to match the complexity of India’s growing economy and sprawling governance structure. With over 700 central public sector units, 1,600 state enterprises, 485 central autonomous bodies and thousands of panchayats and urban local bodies now under its jurisdiction, the federal auditor is adapting to not just the size, but also the changing nature of public service delivery, they said.

The CAG is conducting multi-state audits on key welfare and infrastructure areas, including solid-waste management in urban bodies, welfare of construction workers, management of District Mineral Funds, implementation of rural jobs guarantee programme, functioning of regional transport offices and the Jal Jeevan Mission.

All-India audits covering the Green India Mission, Smart Cities, MSME support and skill development are also underway and are expected to be completed by mid-2025. These audits aim to assess how effectively these national initiatives are delivering measurable benefits to citizens and improving their lives.

For the first time, the CAG has institutionalized stakeholder consultations at all stages of the audit cycle from planning to reporting, said Bajaj.

“We’ve made it mandatory to consult the Secretary, senior officials, academia, and civil society while finalising the Annual Audit Plan and audit reports. This inclusive process helps ensure our audits are grounded in real issues and deliver meaningful value to both institutions and citizens,” Subramanian added.

Dattesh Parulekar, assistant professor of International Relations at Goa University, said, “The CAG’s digital-first and stakeholder-led approach signals a decisive shift from traditional compliance checks to dynamic, technology-enabled, performance-linked audits. If sustained, this could mark a new era in public accountability—where audit reports not only flag inefficiencies but help shape more responsive governance.”

Focus on training

Training remains central to this revamp. The CAG has signed eight memoranda of understanding with institutions such as the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, the Indian Institution of Management Ahmedabad, Bhaskaracharya National Institute for Space Applications and Geo-informatics and the National Institute of Urban Affairs to co-develop specialised curricula.

“For capacity building, we are training audit staff in AI, data analytics, cybersecurity, and public policy at top institutes, including a nationwide boot camp on AI and machine learning for audit at IIT Delhi,” said Bajaj.

A nine-month AI and cybersecurity diploma programme is already underway at IIT-Madras for CAG officers, with modules on environmental audit, ESG reporting, procurement, and non-cognitive skills running in parallel across various centres, said Subramanian.

The CAG submits audit reports to the President or governors, which are then tabled in Parliament or state legislatures. These reports have historically played a key role in ensuring financial accountability and transparency in governance, uncovering issues from expenditure irregularities and poor scheme implementation to systemic inefficiencies. These audits have led to policy reforms, public debates, and accountability at the highest levels.

No Comments on Broker’s call: Jubilant Ingrevia (Hold)

Target: ₹713

CMP: ₹793.15

Jubilant Ingrevia is one of the leading players in India supplying chemical intermediates to agrochemical innovators for almost 3 decades. The company is now transitioning to become a CDMO player and has already signed 2 contracts for agro CDMO, one of which is worth $300 million and will start contributing to revenue from Q4FY26. As highlighted in our previous report, 7 more molecules with pyridine chemistry are expected to go off-patent by 2028, thus making Jubilant a good fit to manufacture them.

However, unlike early stage patented molecules, these off-patent molecules face competition from generic manufacturers, leading to price erosion post patent expiry. Jubilant’s entry into CDMO will boost revenue. However, we remain apprehensive about the profitability and RoCE from the CDMO contracts.

The company has invested around ₹1,750 crore in the last 3 years with maximum focus on value added products. We expect revenue to increase here on, but RoCE may remain under pressure if a large part of growth comes from contract manufacturing of off patent products. The stock is trading at 34x FY27E EPS and 17x FY27 EV/EBITDA. Retain Hold rating with revised target price of ₹713.

No Comments on Cherries Jubilee Recipe – Los Angeles Times

This effortless dessert brings the good vibes. Any dessert you set on fire is impressive. And its components remind me of my Black life — not a monolith. The origins of cherries jubilee go back to Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee in the late 1800s, for which Auguste Escoffier, a famous French chef, prepared this dessert. If you are fortunate enough to shop in a place with an abundance of cherry varieties, do find Bing, sour or Rainier cherries; they all work for this dessert. Hands down, they have the most distinctive and complex flavors.

No Comments on Abandoned house in Syria reveals ancient Christian tomb complex below the surface

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

A contractor recently stumbled across an ancient Christian tomb complex while clearing rubble in Syria.

The discovery was made in the city of Maarat al-Numan in Syria’s Idlib province in May. (See the video at the top of this article.)

The complex dates back over 1,500 years.

ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNCOVER NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN TOMBS OF ANCIENT EGYPTIAN OFFICIALS

The site was found beneath an abandoned house that had been destroyed years earlier.

Pictures show the Christian tomb complex with crosses, ancient graves and a variety of bones and fragments.

Hassan al-Ismail, director of antiquities in Idlib, said that the province is one of the most historic in Syria.

“Based on the presence of the cross and the pottery and glass pieces that were found, this tomb dates back to the Byzantine era,” he said.

The official added that Idlib “has a third of the monuments of Syria, containing 800 archaeological sites in addition to an ancient city.”

“In the old days, a lot of foreign tourists used to come to Maarat just to see the ruins.”

Unfortunately, archaeologists only uncovered the tombs under tragic circumstances, as the houses were destroyed during the 14-year-long Syrian civil war.

In 2020, former Syrian President Bashar Assad seized the area from opposition control, destroying and looting houses in the process.

After edtech crash, study-abroad was the bright spot. Now, it faces testing times

No Comments on After edtech crash, study-abroad was the bright spot. Now, it faces testing times

“The situation is dicey here,” said Samarth, who is studying for a masters degree. With only a brief window between the end of his internship and the start of the next academic term, he’s worried that even a slight delay in returning could put his visa at risk. “Even if I come back a day late, they might use it as an excuse to cancel my visa,” he said, referring to US President’s Donald Trump regime.

Even when they are travelling within the US, universities are advising international students to carry their passports at all times.

Since Trump returned to power, the US’ immigration policies have become draconian. On 27 May, the administration ordered US embassies around the world to stop scheduling appointments for student visas. It even halted Harvard University’s ability to enrol foreign students. Amid all this, several international students have faced deportation for minor infractions.

While much of the attention around US visa restrictions has focused on students, the Big Brother approach in the US has made another group, India’s study-abroad startups, anxious. Companies such as Leap Scholar, Leverage Edu, AdmitKard and upGrad, which promise smooth overseas admissions and counselling services, are now facing business uncertainty. Because it is not just the US, but key markets such as Canada, the UK, and Australia as well that have tightened rules for international student admissions, according to industry insiders.

After the crash of mainstream edtech in India, the study-abroad industry had emerged as a bright spot. But populist politics across the globe threaten to shake the foundations of the business model. Can these startups weather the storm?

The business

Before 2016, most Indian students seeking to study abroad relied on a highly unorganized network of small, local consultants operating out of single-office setups in Tier I and Tier II cities. About 10 years ago, edtech platforms focused on helping students get admissions abroad started emerging. They include AdmitKard (2016), Leverage Edu (2017), Leap Scholar (2019). Upskilling platform and edtech unicorn upGrad also launched study-abroad services in 2021.

A screen grab from the website of Leap Scholar.

These startups offered a range of services, helping students with university applications and counselling to scholarships, visa applications, accommodation and even loans to finance their education. Each operates with a slightly different proposition—while Leap Finance and Leverage Edu are full-service platforms offering end-to-end guidance and admission support to students, AdmitKard is mostly about counselling. upGrad’s study-abroad programme focuses on hybrid or online-to-offline programmes in which students study online the first year and travel to the university campus the second year.

Over the last few years, India’s study-abroad market has been taking big strides, fuelled by a growing appetite for global education and rising disposable incomes. While the market saw a slump during the covid-19 pandemic years, it has bounced back since. According to Bengaluru-based consulting firm Redseer, about 2 million Indian students are projected to opt for overseas education by 2027. This number, according to the firm, stood at 0.7 million in 2019 and 0.9 million in 2022.

The sector has also seen significant venture capital infusion during and after the pandemic years, 2023 being the year it attracted the highest funding ever, at about $562 million, according to data sourced from Tracxn.

A temporary dip?

Even other top markets, such as the UK, Canada and Australia, have tightened their immigrant rules of late. In May, the UK government released a whitepaper that proposed reducing the standard length of the graduate visa for international students to stay on and work in the UK from two years to 18 months, among other changes.

Last week, Australia-based IDP Education, one of the world’s largest international student placement firms, warned that its full-year revenue and earnings would take a hit due to visa crackdowns in key markets such as Australia and Canada, estimating student placement volumes to drop 28-30% during this financial year. The announcement led to its stock plummeting 50%, it’s worst single-day drop ever,

Canadian study-abroad startup ApplyBoard laid off about 150 employees last week due to policy changes at major study destinations. Last November, Canada ended its Student Direct Stream (SDS) programme, which expedited the processing of study permit applications for international students.

India’s edtech exporters, most of whom rely heavily on the US and UK, are now bracing for the impact of ongoing uncertainty. Industry experts acknowledge that a dip is likely if the situation persists, though they are cautiously optimistic that the downturn will be temporary.

“In our study-abroad business, about 70% of visa appointments were already taken care of. So, those haven’t been affected. But 30% is halted because the visa appointments are on hold,” Praneet Singh, associate vice president of university partnerships at upGrad Abroad, told Mint.

A million students enter the US to study every year, so it impacts the country’s economy as well, Singh noted. “That gives me conviction that it’s not going to last. It’s going to be a couple of weeks or maybe a month or two. But it will eventually get lifted.”

Piyush Bhartiya, co-founder of study-abroad counselling startup AdmitKard, said there is a lot of uncertainty among students planning to go to the US. If their September intake is blocked and interviews don’t open, then US sentiment will go from unsure to negative, he said.

With all the key markets correcting at the same time, there will be some downturn, Bhartiya noted. “The US issued about 80,000 visas last year from India. Now, if that 80,000 falls to 40,000, we don’t know how many markets or how many countries it will take to absorb that other 40,000,” said Bhartiya.

Leap Finance, one of the larger startups in India’s study abroad ecosystem, has refrained from commenting on the subject altogether.

With all the key markets correcting at the same time, there will be some downturn.

— Piyush Bhartiya

With market conditions in flux, investors are closely watching the sector, particularly how these businesses respond and pivot to sustain growth. While recent policy uncertainties in traditional destinations such as the US and UK have sparked some investor caution, the demand for overseas education remains structurally strong, according to Surabhi Sanyukta, vice president–Investments, BlackSoil, an investor in study-abroad platform Leverage Edu.

“The sector has seen consistent double-digit year-on-year growth over the past few years, and this demand is not diminishing; it is simply becoming more geographically distributed,” she said.

“One of the key challenges the sector faces is its historical reliance on a few dominant geographies. Policy shifts, changing visa regimes, and economic volatility in these markets can significantly impact student flows. Startups that scaled primarily on the back of US or UK-bound student demand are now having to recalibrate their strategies,” Sanyukta added.

Expanding horizons

The uncertainty around immigrant laws in various geographies has had a clear impact. Enrolments have gone down by 27% in top destination markets such as the US, the UK and Canada. This decline has affected study-abroad platforms as well, but sparked interest in other destinations.

“If we were getting about 6,000 closed leads in February for Germany, we’re now getting about 9,500 leads a month for that country, which makes for 35% of our business. France has gone from 3% of our business to 8% of our total business at the moment. Finland has also gone from 3% to 6% of our business,” said upGrad’s Singh.

The two really big winners have been Germany and Ireland, which have traditionally seen a smaller intake from India, said AdmitKard’s Bhartiya. “On our platform, we have seen almost five times more inquiries for Germany in the last two years. France and some of the Nordic countries are also gaining interest very rapidly,” he said.

AdmitKard is now focusing on getting accreditations in other countries as the non-US market sees a spike in interest. “We are a very strong recruiter for the US market so we had focused on US accreditation. Now, we are focusing on other countries as well, and onboarding partners in countries like Japan, Finland, and Sweden,” Bhartiya said.

Many prominent schools in the US and UK are setting up offshore campuses in locations such as Dubai and Singapore. Study abroad platforms are now turning to these newer markets, capturing already existing demand and creating new demand.

In the last six months, upGrad has focused on finding partners in Dubai. “We’ve got Middlesex University, University of Birmingham, among others. We’ve just signed up with four schools in the UAE. The company is also trying to double down on Finland and expand to Singapore,” Singh said, noting that India will also see a lot of campuses being set up.

Many prominent schools in the US and UK are setting up offshore campuses in locations such as Dubai and Singapore. Study abroad platforms are now turning to these newer markets.

New Delhi-based Leverage Edu has also seen a sea-change in its student composition over the past 12 months. The company, which relied on India for 100% of its customers, is now seeing 40-45% of students coming from non-India regions—of that, 25% is from Africa, 15% is the rest of South Asia (Nepal, Bangladesh), with the rest from the Middle East and Southeast Asia, Akshay Chaturvedi, founder and CEO of the edtech startup, told Mint.

Chaturvedi added that the UK used to be a dominant study location for the company till about two years back. The country still accounts for 50-60% of the business today, but the remaining 40-50% is mostly from the rest of Europe, particularly Germany, he said.

The way forward

Aside from admissions, most study-abroad platforms make money from test-prep, counselling, documentation, and application fees. These services have stable demand despite the shifts in study markets.

For instance, 25% of Leverage Edu’s business comes from services such as forex and loans, among other ancillaries. Last quarter, the company also launched a job portal, Leverage Careers.com, which the CEO believes will push the income from these non-core services up further.

Value-added services contribute about 10% to Leap’s revenue, with the majority coming from counseling and financing. upGrad’s study-abroad vertical also offers International English Language Testing System (IELTS) prep programmes aside from online-to-offline learning, its core business.

Ashish Bhatia, founder and chief executive officer at India Accelerator, which has invested in edtech companies such as Imarticus Learning, Ingenium and Dhurina, noted that offering various services gives these startups the flexibility to adapt to the changing circumstances. “Startups that proactively expand their offerings and limit their reliance on the US markets are most likely to come out of this situation unaffected,” Bhatia said.

As things stand, however, nobody knows when the situation will improve. Startups that pivot to accommodate the changing reality will be better placed to weather the storm.

Nolah Evolution Hybrid Mattress Review: A Jack of All Trades

No Comments on Nolah Evolution Hybrid Mattress Review: A Jack of All Trades

These holes allow the hips and shoulders to get a generally softer feel, while a firmer one is upheld right under where your spine curves. A 2-inch layer of comfort foam follows for—you guessed it—more pressure relief, along with a transition layer protecting the foam from the coil core. The coils are pocketed, allowing each one to react to your body instead of making it a group project like traditional innerspring beds of old. They’re also reinforced in the center and along the edges, which is just an extra-firm feel to keep these particular areas extra-supported. Lastly, everything is set up on a foam base, which lets the coils really do their thing without being compressed by contact with your bed frame.

Ultimate Sleep Experience

OK, enough shop talk. Here’s what I like from testing this mattress. I remember when Nolah first launched the Evolution back in 2020, and it was touted as a good option for side sleepers with all the pressure relief and lumbar support features. When I eventually tried it (and various iterations afterward), it consistently delivered on these marks. Something that has always stood out to me as a major value add was the three firmness options available: plush, luxury firm, and firm. Having a variety of firmnesses is an easy way to make a mattress more accessible to all kinds of sleepers, especially with different body types and sleeping positions.

I landed on “luxury firm” for a couple of reasons, chief among them being that I’m part of a dynamic sleeping duo. In other words, my husband is a back sleeper, and I’m a stomach sleeper (who is desperately trying to be a side sleeper, mind you). All to say, these sleeping positions can require different firmness levels for adequate support, preferences not even being factored in. Luxury firm is the middle ground, and we’ve found it to be a welcoming amount of softness that doesn’t cancel out the feeling of support.

While I’m on my side, my hips and shoulders get hugged, and if I’m on my stomach, my lower back stays lifted. Everything remains relatively on the same level—hips, lower back, and shoulders—which is what you want for even spine alignment. When on your back, your spine curves away from the bed, but the pillow top takes up that space nicely. That way your back doesn’t feel like it’s being left out support-wise, and this eliminates a potential cause of back pain.

No Comments on Studija otkriva da svakodnevna konzumacija ove namirnice poboljšava zdravlje srca

NOVA istraživanja pokazuju da jednostavna promjena u prehrani može pomoći u zaštiti od kroničnih bolesti, osobito onih koje pogađaju srce. Posebno se ističe jedna svakodnevna namirnica koja je lako dostupna, povoljna i već dobro poznata u mnogim kućanstvima. Istraživači su tijekom 12 tjedana pratili zdravstvene pokazatelje kod odraslih s predijabetesom i otkrili zapanjujuće učinke na razinu kolesterola i upale.

Riječ je o slanutku – sudionici su svakodnevno konzumirali oko 150 grama kuhanog slanutka. Oni koji su jeli slanutak zabilježili su pad kolesterola s prosječnih 200,4 mg/dL na 185,8 mg/dL te znatno smanjene razine interleukina-6, markera kronične upale.

“Naše istraživanje pokazalo je prednosti konzumiranja slanutka kod osoba s predijabetesom, ali to je odlična namirnica za svakoga”, izjavila je voditeljica studije Morganne Smith, prenosi Daily Express.

“Konzumacija slanutka je jednostavan i pristupačan način da se podrži zdravlje srca i smanji rizik od kroničnih bolesti”

Uzorci krvi uzimani su na početku, nakon šest i dvanaest tjedana, a analizirani su šećer u krvi, kolesterol, upalni markeri i tolerancija na glukozu. Smith ističe da su sve vrste slanutka – bilo iz konzerve, smrznuti ili suhi – korisne, ali treba pripaziti na dodatne sastojke poput soli ili šećera.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

“Konzumacija slanutka jednostavan je i pristupačan način da se podrži zdravlje srca i smanji rizik od kroničnih bolesti”, dodala je.

Za svakodnevnu upotrebu preporučuje se kombiniranje s drugim zdravim namirnicama: može se dodavati u juhe, posluživati u salatama ili kombinirati s cjelovitim žitaricama poput riže ili kvinoje. “Slanutak se lako uklapa u obroke, a njegov pozitivan učinak na organizam može biti dugoročan”, kaže Smith.

Rezultati studije predstavljeni su na znanstvenom skupu Nutrition 2025, a mogli bi utjecati i na buduće prehrambene smjernice u prevenciji bolesti poput dijabetesa i srčanih tegoba.

What Your Gifts Say About You

Post author By admin

Post date June 15, 2025

No Comments on What Your Gifts Say About You

Gifts are more than a polite gesture. We use their language to express our feelings, intentions, and values. A gift can be modest, grand, practical, or symbolic, but always sends a message. Consciously or not, we choose gifts based on how we see the recipient — and, just as importantly, how we see ourselves.

The way we choose a gift reveals much about how we perceive relationships. It can express gratitude, a desire to connect, a wish to impress, care, a sense of obligation, or simple respect. Gift-giving is far less about material value and far more about communication.

Meaning in the Details

When someone orders flower delivery in New York, they do more than send flowers. They’re communicating something through that bouquet. Red roses — passion. Yellow tulips — friendship. White lilies — respect. This is a code the recipient can read and interpret — often with surprising accuracy. On the other hand, overlooking these details (choosing the wrong color, an inappropriate format, or ignoring the occasion) might send a very different message: haste, detachment, or indifference.

The same applies to other types of gifts. A pen might signal professional appreciation, and a book might reflect an intellectual connection. However, a generic box of chocolates from a corner store could come off as last-minute and thoughtless. When we select a gift, we convey our emotions and attitude toward the occasion, the person, and ourselves.

Types of Givers

Psychologists often categorize people by how they give. Some are practical — they offer what’s “useful.” Others prioritize emotional impact — they seek the “wow” factor. Some choose symbolic gifts with deeper meaning or personal references. Others rely on their taste without considering what the recipient might prefer. Each approach reveals a person’s motivations, personality, and empathy.

That’s why it’s worth asking yourself, not just “Will they like this?” but also “Why did I choose this? What am I trying to say?”

The Role of Context

Your gift choice also depends on the stage and nature of your relationship with the recipient. A new acquaintance, a long-time friend, a colleague, or a romantic interest — each context calls for a different tone. A gift that’s too expensive might make someone uncomfortable. One that’s too formal might come across as cold.

The key is balance: to be thoughtful but not intrusive, generous but not overwhelming, creative but appropriate.

How Gifts Shape Perception

A gift becomes part of how people see you. A thoughtful gesture — whether a bouquet tailored to their tastes or a unique item that reflects their interests — helps build an image of someone attentive, caring, and sincere. A random or superficial choice can leave the opposite impression.

This is especially important in professional settings. A gift for a colleague, client, or partner is often read as a signal of your emotional intelligence, attention to etiquette, and ability to foster meaningful connections.

The Ethics of Gifting

Gifts should never be transactional. They shouldn’t carry pressure, hidden motives, or unspoken expectations. A gift given “in exchange” for a favor, or in hope of earning loyalty, often feels manipulative or insincere. What matters most is authenticity — something conveyed not just by the gift itself, but through timing, presentation, and tone.

Giving without expecting something in return speaks volumes about confidence, maturity, and emotional generosity.

Conclusion: Every Gift Sends a Message

In the end, gifts are a form of language that expresses emotion, conveys values, and shapes how others perceive us. Often, the intention behind the gift matters more than the gift itself. The more thoughtful and genuine your choice, the more likely it will leave a lasting impression.

Give with care, attention, and sincerity — and your message will be heard.

No Comments on Vlasnica zatvorila vrata spavaće sobe, nije očekivala reakciju svoje mačke

SVI VLASNICI mačaka dobro znaju da kada njihovi ljubimci nešto žele, spremni su na sve. Mačja znatiželja, potreba za kontrolom i dramatične reakcije redovito nas podsjećaju da živimo u njihovom svijetu, a ne obrnuto. Jedan video koji posljednjih dana kruži internetom savršeno prikazuje što se dogodi kad mačku slučajno ostavite izvan sobe kojoj inače ima pristup.

Na snimci koja je na TikToku skupila više od deset milijuna pregleda u samo tri dana, možemo vidjeti kako je Devon Rex mačka Eleven reagirala kada ju je vlasnica slučajno zaboravila pustiti u sobu prije spavanja. Umjesto klasičnog mijaukanja, Eleven je priredila noćnu predstavu koja zvuči kao scena iz najstrašnijih horora.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

“Sva sreća pa nije počela dramatizirati”, “Urnebesno mi je kako se smirila čim si otvorila vrata”, “Mislila sam da je ovo dijete”, “Ovo je razlog zašto više nikada neću imati mačku”, “Devon Rex mačke su poznate po tome što su jako privržene vlasnicima”, “Pozovite egzorcista”, samo su neki od komentara gledatelja.

No Comments on Kći Cindy Crawford privukla pažnju kombinacijom koju Parižanke obožavaju

Pri kreiranju rubrike Index Shopping nastojimo izdvajati odlične proizvode koji se i nama sviđaju te odlične akcije i popuste. Ne objavljujemo proizvode koje i sami ne bismo kupili ili smatramo da njihova promocija nije u skladu s profesionalnim standardima. Neki proizvodi u rubrici Index Shopping mogu biti sponzorirani.

KAIA Gerber, kći supermodela Cindy Crawford, sve više potvrđuje svoj status modne ikone. Svojim stilskim odabirima gradi prepoznatljiv i utjecajan modni potpis.

Ovog je tjedna u New Yorku snimljena u stajlingu koji bi Parižanke s oduševljenjem odobrile. Nosila je crvenu haljinu na vezanje oko vrata, ukrašenu sitnim bijelim točkicama – uzorak koji je ove godine ponovno veliki trend.

Nije poznato tko je dizajnirao haljinu, no s obzirom na Kaijin prepoznatljiv stil, kao i na to da je njujorški vintage butik The Vintage Twin podijelio njezinu fotografiju u ovom izdanju na svom Instagram Storyju, moguće je da je riječ o vintage komadu. U posljednje vrijeme često bira arhivske modele, uključujući vintage Valentino i Givenchy.

Uz romantičnu haljinu nosila je još jedan klasik francuskog stila – bijele balerinke s malom potpeticom. Kombinaciju je upotpunila crnom torbicom s metalnim detaljima, jednostavnom ogrlicom s privjeskom i velikim zlatnim naušnicama.

Njezina kombinacija uklapa se u modne trendove 2025.

Kako piše Marie Claire, njezina mala crvena haljina savršeno se uklapa u modne trendove 2025., posebice uz aktualni povratak točkastog uzorka. Ove godine slične komade nosile su i Olivia Rodrigo, Kylie Jenner, Gigi i Bella Hadid, Sabrina Carpenter i Rihanna – s potpisom brendova poput Balmaina, Miu Miu i Saint Laurenta.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

Međutim, Kaia je bila ispred ovog trenda. Naime, još je u travnju 2023. viđena u gotovo identičnoj haljini brenda Réalisation Par, tada s debljim naramenicama. I tada ju je kombinirala s balerinkama i jednostavnom torbom – u svom prepoznatljivom stilu.

Našli smo slične komade

Dobra vijest je da se slične haljine i cipele mogu pronaći u ponudi high-street brendova poput Zare, Sheina i H&M-a. U nastavku donosimo prijedloge za one koji žele rekreirati njezin šik pariški look.

ICC WTC 2025 Final: From Pat Cummins to Usman Khawaja, A Look at Australia’s Top Stars in World Test Championship Cycle

Post author By admin

Post date June 15, 2025

No Comments on ICC WTC 2025 Final: From Pat Cummins to Usman Khawaja, A Look at Australia’s Top Stars in World Test Championship Cycle

Mumbai, June 15: Australia’s golden run under skipper Pat Cummins came to a halt as South Africa defeated them by five wickets to secure their maiden ICC World Test Championship (WTC) title on the back of a masterclass from Aiden Markram. Cummins’ run as a captain started with retaining the Ashes against England away from home after a 2-2 draw, and it was followed by one-sided ICC World Test Championship and ICC Cricket World Cup wins against India. However, everything has an end and it seems, so did Cummins’ consistent championship-winning run. ICC WTC 2025 Final: Temba Bavuma Wants South Africa To Carry World Test Championship Win Momentum to Upcoming T20, 50-Over World Cups.

Nonetheless, throughout the 2023-25, the years which spanned this cycle, Australia played some fantastic cricket, with a Border-Gavaskar Trophy win against India at home, their first series win against Asian giants in a decade, being the crowning jewel of it. Let us look at Australia’s top stars during this WTC cycle:

Usman Khawaja

The 38-year-old continues to improve with age and has mastered the ability to grit it out at the crease like no other. He was Australia’s top run-getter in this cycle and overall fifth, with 1,428 runs in 20 matches and 39 innings at an average of 39.66. He scored two centuries and six fifties, with the best score of 232 against Sri Lanka. However, in the final, he could score just a duck and six in both innings.

Steve Smith

The veteran Aussie struggled for consistency during a good chunk of this WTC cycle, however, separating himself from the greats, this epitome of excellence came in clutch when it mattered the most, scoring four centuries in five Tests preceding this title clash and helping Aussies secure the BGT. In 20 matches, he scored 1,403 runs at an average of 41.26, with five centuries and five fifties. His best score was 141. In the final, he played a crucial 66 in the first innings, but failed to fire in the second innings, scoring just 13. ICC Chairman Jay Shah Congratulates South Africa Cricket Team on Its Maiden WTC Title.

Travis Head

Head also had patches of poor performance in this cycle, but still managed to score 1,197 runs in 20 matches and 36 innings at an average of 34.20, with a breathtaking strike rate of 80.71. He scored three centuries and five fifties, with the best score of 152. Head peeled off two incredible centuries against India during the BGT, which was the highlight of his run. But he failed in the final, not crossing 20 in both innings.

Pat Cummins

The captain was a superstar with the ball, taking 80 wickets in 18 matches at an average of 23.48, with best figures of 6/28, which came during the WTC final, the best performance by a captain in a tournament final as a bowler. He took a total of six five-wicket hauls in this cycle, the most by a bowler in this cycle. He ended the cycle as the top wicket-taker. As a batter, he scored 523 runs in 30 innings at an average of 20.11, with one half-century, proving his mettle as a useful lower-order batter.

Mitchell Starc

The pace veteran continues to sizzle at big stages even in his mid 30s, taking 77 wickets in 19 matches at an average of 26.89, with best figures of 6/48. He was the third-highest wicket-taker in the WTC cycle. He also took two five-wicket hauls. In the final, he took a total of five wickets, including a scorching opening spell in the first innings and three wickets in the second innings.

Nathan Lyon

He ended the WTC cycle as the leading spinner and fourth-highest wicket-taker, with 66 wickets in 17 matches at an average of 25.18 and best figures of 6/65. He took a five-wicket haul in the cycle. He went wicketless in the final.

How important is inverter technology in large high capacity refrigerators?

Inverter compressors automatically adjust cooling based on usage. In large refrigerators, this ensures consistent temperature, reduces energy bills, and extends compressor life. It also results in quieter operation, which is helpful in open kitchens. For long-term savings and reliability, inverter technology is highly recommended in high capacity models.

What is considered a high capacity refrigerator and who needs one?

A high capacity refrigerator typically starts from 300 litres and goes beyond 500 litres. It is ideal for large families, joint households, or anyone who needs to store bulk groceries, leftovers, or meal preps. It offers better compartmentalisation, separate vegetable and freezer zones, and is great for those who entertain guests frequently.

Do high capacity fridges consume more electricity?

Usually, high capacity fridges generally consume more electricity due to their larger size and cooling requirements. However, modern models with inverter technology and higher energy star ratings are designed to be energy-efficient. They adjust power usage based on load and usage patterns. Choosing a 4 or 5-star rated fridge can significantly reduce electricity costs over time.

Factors to consider before buying the best high capacity refrigerators:

Capacity Requirements: Choose 400 litres or more based on your family size and storage needs.

Refrigerator Type: Select from side-by-side, French door, double door, or bottom freezer styles.

Energy Efficiency: Check the BEE star rating for lower electricity consumption.

Inverter Compressor: Ensures silent operation, energy savings, and longer life.

Cooling Technology: Look for uniform cooling, multi-airflow, and dual cooling zones.

Build Quality & Finish: Durable exterior, spill-proof shelves, and a design that matches your kitchen.

Smart Features: Options like Wi-Fi control, digital display, and temperature adjustment.

Defrost System: Go for frost-free models for convenience and efficiency.

Suniel Shetty speaks on his latest film ‘Kesari Veer’

Post author By admin

Post date June 15, 2025

No Comments on Suniel Shetty speaks on his latest film ‘Kesari Veer’

Suniel Shetty, or Anna, as Bollywood lovingly calls him, requires no introduction. With a three-decade-long career that spans over 100 films, he has firmly established himself as a powerhouse in the industry. His latest project, Kesari Veer, delves into the inspiring tale of Hamirji Gohil, who valiantly defended the Somnath Temple against the Tughlaq Empire. Reflecting on the film’s theme, Shetty asserts, “If you compare the story to today’s world, it beautifully emphasises that the nation surpasses everything else. We often speak of unsung heroes, and there is a hero like that in every nook and cranny of this land. By weaving these stories, we can reconstruct and relive our history through these remarkable individuals. That, to me, encapsulates the essence of our film.”

This is not the first time he has taken up a so-called patriotic film. Even now he is remembered for iconic films like Border and Refugee. A staunch advocate for preserving the rich social tapestry of India, Shetty resists any tags of jingoism that his films may attract. “At no point has our film ever spoken against any community. There is no animosity here. It’s about India as one unified entity, urging us to uphold our culture and beliefs. Hinduism and Sanatan dharma transcend mere religion; they embody the principles of dharma and karma—essentially, they are about fostering empathy towards one another. This film embodies that spirit, warning against outsiders who may wish to sow discord among us—a sentiment that resonates profoundly with today’s pressing societal needs.”

Rayzon Solar to file draft papers for ₹1,500-cr IPO

Post author By admin

Post date June 15, 2025

No Comments on Rayzon Solar to file draft papers for ₹1,500-cr IPO

Solar panel manufacturer Rayzon Solar Ltd is planning to file draft papers with markets regulator SEBI by the end of the month, as it prepares for a ₹1,500-crore initial public offering (IPO), people familiar with the plan said on Friday.

The Surat-based company has already roped in top investment banks to manage the public offering.

The company is looking to raise funds through fresh issuance of equity shares, and the proceeds are expected to be used for its expansion plans.

An email to Rayzon Solar seeking confirmation of the filing of draft papers and IPO details did not elicit a response.

The company is considering entering the public market at a time when the domestic solar manufacturing industry is gaining traction, driven by import curbs, and rising global interest in non-China supply chains.

Founded in 2017, Rayzon Solar has emerged as one of the fastest-growing solar PV module manufacturers in the country. As per its website, the company has grown from an initial installed module manufacturing capacity of just 40 MW to 6,000 MW, across two facilities in Karanj and Sava, Gujarat, and is likely to expand further.

In March, the company raised around ₹138 crore through private placement of equity shares.

Underwater discovery reveals 1787 shipwreck with potentially intact treasures

Post author By admin

Post date June 15, 2025

No Comments on Underwater discovery reveals 1787 shipwreck with potentially intact treasures

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Underwater archaeologists may have discovered a long-lost 18th-century treasure ship that vanished over two centuries ago.

Marine expert Edmond O’Byrne told Pen News that his team found what is believed to be the Recovery, a British ship that was lost off the coast of Wexford, Ireland, in 1787. (See the video at the top of this article.)

The ship carried various treasures, and its cargo included a large quantity of marble and bronze. James Caulfeild, 1st Earl of Charlemont, collected the valuable materials during a tour of Europe.

HAUNTING SLAVE SHIPS FOUND OFF COAST OF NATIONAL PARK 300 YEARS LATER: ‘VERY CONVINCING’

The ship also carried rare art and natural curiosities owned by John La Touche, one of the wealthiest Irish bankers of his time.

But the ship met its end when it sank 85 miles south of Dublin, its intended destination. The vessel had recently stopped in London after beginning its journey in Italy.

Six people died in the wreck, including the ship’s captain and two of his sons.

The ship was largely forgotten about before researchers caught wind of its likely remains.

During a recent interview with Pen News, O’Byrne said that, one day, his side-scan sonar “picked up an unusual object on the seabed.”

“The ship was at the mercy of the sea.”

He told the agency, “At first I thought it was a torpedo, because the image would be slightly distorted on the side-scan sonar.”

But the shipwreck revealed its age when his crew spotted a copper sheath on the vessel. In the 18th century, copper was used by the Royal Navy to protect wooden ships from barnacles and shipworms.

ARCHAEOLOGIST SHEDS NEW LIGHT ON ASTONISHING DISCOVERY OF WRECKED SLAVE SHIPS: ‘STRANDED ON THE COAST’

“When we went [underwater], it turned out to be a 20-foot-long rudder covered in copper sheet,” O’Byrne recalled. “Now that really identified her.”

He added, “In 1773, when she was built in Chester, the Recovery was one of about 200 ships out of the British merchant fleet of about 10,000 that had their hulls covered in copper sheathing.”

Marine archaeologists also uncovered an 18th-century anchor at the wreckage site. (Brian and Kevin Martin via Pen News)

“Any wrecks that we have a record of weren’t copper sheathed.”

Using a drone, researchers also spotted a piece of timber coming out of a sandbank, which O’Byrne said was “definitely from a ship.”

“It could have been any bit of timber but when I told the pilot to drive closer, I could see that there was a timber nail hole in that plank,” he said.

MYSTERIOUS 18TH-CENTURY WARSHIP UNEARTHED AT GROUND ZERO SITE GETS NEW HOME

“I told one of the boys to go down and take that up, and when he did, there was a two-foot by one-foot copper sheath nailed to the timber.”

The team also uncovered an anchor, timber fittings and artifacts including a teapot and inkwells.

Some of the findings offer a glimpse into how the ship went down: For example, the rudder was found around 800 feet away from the shipwreck.

Experts believe the ship carried valuable cargo that may still be in good condition. (Brian and Kevin Martin via Pen News)

“We reckon when she came around Carnsore Point, she came into shallower water, and pulled the rudder and part of the stern off,” O’Byrne described.

“And then the ship was at the mercy of the sea.”

The rudder was also covered in copper. It may be the only 18th-century copper-covered rudder that’s ever been found.

“We’ve searched and, so far, nobody can tell us that there is a copper-covered rudder in existence from that time anywhere,” O’Byrne added.

“It could be the only one of its time.”

The true value of the cargo is unknown, though La Touche’s possessions have fetched vast sums of money in the past. One sculpture that he commissioned sold for £520,000 in 1997, which equals roughly $1 million U.S. dollars today.

Marine expert Edmond O’Byrne’s team discovered the likely remains of a ship called the Recovery — which also included a teapot. (Brian and Kevin Martin via Pen News)

O’Byrne also believes that, with the shipwreck sitting 65 feet below the service, the cargo may still be in good condition.

“If they had to journey some distance on land to get to the port and then be loaded and then unloaded, they would have to be packed very, very well,” he observed.

“So there is a chance that something would survive.”

For now, the ship is going to remain undisturbed while O’Byrne’s team monitors it to see if any shifting sands reveal its treasures.

Recovered shipwrecks are of great interest to marine historians. Earlier this year, a centuries-old ship was found beneath a former fish market in Spain.

Last month, the Wisconsin Historical Society announced the discovery of a 19th-century tugboat in Lake Michigan.

Milk frothing is easy, and the automatic milk frothing is shockingly good. Plus, you can froth cold foam, for silly cold-foam drinks. See what I mean? Ninja is fun. We look forward to testing Ninja’s new Cafe Luxe Pro ($750), which costs a little more but adds a welcome auto-tamper and hot water spout.

Best Budget Latte Machine

Mr. Coffee

One-Touch CoffeeHouse

This Mr. Coffee machine was once our top pick. Why? Because it sits so nicely at a comfortable intersection where ease of use meets automation and affordability. This is about the lowest-priced machine you can ever expect to find with automatic milk frothing at the press of a single button, with options of late foam or cappuccino froth. Just load fine-ground coffee into the portafilter, tamp it down, and twist it on. The machine will mix up a cappuccino or a latte macchiato at the press of a button.

This machine has a forgiving (but not overly intense or nuanced) pressurized portafiter, which means it will work with almost any “espresso-grind” coffee from your local café or the grocery store. Just note you’ll still get a better shot of espresso if you buy a grinder and use fresh beans from a good specialty roaster. But all in all, this is about the easiest $200 latte machine we know. Like, the hardest thing about it is that the milk canister can be removed and stored in the fridge, and you have to clean it out once a week.

Cafe Affetto Automatic Espresso Machine

The Cafe Affetto is one of the few fully automatic machines that we’ve enjoyed in this price range. The Affetto features a built-in steaming wand, produces 20 bars of pump pressure to ensure your espresso is fully extracted, and is a slick little machine. It’s very slim and fits comfortably on a small apartment countertop without having to rearrange everything. Because coffee production is automated, you just need to fill the water tank and put whole beans in the hopper, and you’re good to go. You can brew one or two shots with just the press of a button, and there’s a programmable button to create your favorite drinks (like an Americano with just the right amount of water).

The milk frother does a lot of the work on its own. Just pour some of your favorite milk into the frothing pitcher, submerge the wand, and hit the steam button. If you’re new to frothing milk, you don’t even need to move the pitcher to produce a creamy and consistent microfoam. We tested the frother with dairy milk, oat milk, and soy milk. It produced soft and creamy café-grade froth each time. Just make sure it’s topped up with water and beans and that you clean out the spent grounds container regularly, and it works like a dream. —Jaina Grey

The Breville Oracle Jet (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is my favorite of the seven new espresso machines I’ve tried so far this year. It’s the one I recommend as my top pick in WIRED’s guide to the Best Espresso Machines, over other estimable contenders from Breville that include the Barista Touch ($1,000) and the Barista Pro ($849). And it’s the one that best mixes full-flavored, nuanced espresso with the ease of machine-guided, touchscreen operation. It’s versatile, it’s powerful, its PID controller means the temperature is quite stable, and it makes absolutely lovely cups—espresso that’s denser and more intensely aromatic than the coffee made by any other machine on this list, whether in bringing out the fruity berry notes in an anaerobic light roast, or the dark chocolate of a roasty Italian.

In the finicky, often difficult world of classic home espresso machines, the Oracle Jet is a paragon of simplicity and machine-guided brewing: It’s a miracle that one can so easily pull such delicious and nuanced shots, that remain so sensitive to the character of each bean. But that sensitivity still makes the Oracle Jet a little more finicky than other machines on this list. And while the automatic milk frothing is quite good, it’s not as failsafe as our favorites here. (I still like steaming milk manually on the Breville, versus using the auto-froth.) But if you want espresso that will distill he beauteous character of fresh-roasted beans but still don’t want to try overly hard—on a machine whose intuitive touchscreen tutorial will guide you to lovely flat whites and capps? This is your huckleberry.

Best Pod Latte and Cappuccino Machine

Former WIRED reviewer Jaina Grey loved this machine. It’s the best Keurig that Grey ever used (8/10, WIRED Recommends), but it especially offers a terrific frother. (Though check out our updated pod coffee maker guide for more recommendations.) This K-Café doesn’t technically make espresso shots, because grounds aren’t pulled under pressure. But it does make a delicious 2-ounce “espresso style” shot that can taste almost as strong. So why is it in this guide? The frother. It has three settings—cold, latte, and cappuccino—and it’ll froth milk to perfection with the tap of a button, ready to be poured from the stainless steel carafe. It’s a latte maker that’s simple to use and easy to clean—and the milk is so beautifully foamed that it’s tempting to use this device to froth milk for espresso made on other machines.

Best Handheld Milk Frother

Sometimes making a whole latte or cappuccino using an automated machine can be a time suck. Not to mention, sometimes all you really want is frothy milk. That’s where milk frothers come in. These machines beat air into milk, or milk substitutes, to get that nice creamy froth. Former WIRED Reviewer Jaina Grey loved this handheld from Subminimal, a highly specialized immersion blender that makes properly textured creamy, light, airy, wonderful milk. One screen makes fine-textured milk. One makes “ultra-fine.” But note that Subminimal has also added a milk frothing pitcher called the Nanofoamer Pro ($159) that costs a bit more, but is currently sitting prettily atop our guide to the Best Milk Frothers.

Other Automated Latte and Cappuccino Machines We Liked

The delta between home espresso machines and the commercial workhorses used by busy third-wave shops is still thousands of dollars, but that hasn’t stopped both beloved brands and scrappy upstarts from infiltrating the space with more approachable units. Skip the junk and level up to the Casabrews 5700PRO (7/10, WIRED Review), which offers an unfussy take on the art of homemade espresso drinks.

Instead of bewildering noobs with a million settings and onboard tutorials, this 12 x 11 x 16-inch tank of a machine keeps it simple with easily accessible controls for things like temperature and dose volume for extraction, and run time for the onboard grinder. It’s a single-boiler machine, not a dual boiler, which means you can’t froth your latte milk at the same time as pulling a shot, but the texture of the frothed milk is perfectly malleable and up to snuff for a basic leaf or rosetta pattern.

Četiri dodatka prehrani koja osobe s hipertenzijom trebaju izbjegavati

Post author By admin

Post date June 14, 2025

No Comments on Četiri dodatka prehrani koja osobe s hipertenzijom trebaju izbjegavati

OSOBE s visokim krvnim tlakom moraju pažljivo birati ne samo što jedu, već i koje dodatke prehrani uzimaju. Iako mnogi dodaci mogu imati korisne učinke, neki sastojci mogu pogoršati stanje, povećati rizik od komplikacija ili ometati djelovanje lijekova za hipertenziju. Nutricionisti i dijetetičari često upozoravaju da se i dodaci prehrani, kao i lijekovi, trebaju koristiti s oprezom – posebno kod osoba s postojećim zdravstvenim problemima poput povišenog tlaka. Dakle, ovo su neki od dodataka koje, prema raznim stručnjacima, ljudi s hipertenzijom trebaju izbjegavati.

1. Suplementi koji sadrže kofein

Dodaci prehrani za energiju, sagorijevanje masnoća ili sportski učinak često sadrže kofein – sastojak koji može povisiti krvni tlak. Prema savjetima stručnjaka za prehranu, osobe s hipertenzijom trebale bi izbjegavati kofein u obliku kapsula ili prahova jer njegova koncentracija može biti znatno viša nego u kavi ili čaju. Nagli skokovi tlaka mogu predstavljati opasnost, osobito ako osoba već uzima antihipertenzive.

2. Gospina trava (Hypericum perforatum)

Iako se često koristi kao prirodni antidepresiv, gospina trava može ometati djelovanje mnogih lijekova, uključujući one za tlak. Prema riječima raznih nutricionista i dijetetičara, ovaj biljni dodatak može potaknuti razgradnju lijekova u jetri, čime se smanjuje njihova učinkovitost. Osim toga, može izazvati porast tlaka ako se kombinira s određenim vrstama terapije.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

3. Suplementi s visokim dozama omega-3 masnih kiselina

Iako umjeren unos omega-3 masnih kiselina može biti koristan za zdravlje srca, visoke doze mogu izazvati nuspojave kod osoba koje uzimaju lijekove za tlak. Neki stručnjaci upozoravaju da omega-3 u velikim količinama može sniziti krvni tlak previše, što može biti rizično u kombinaciji s antihipertenzivima. Zato je važno ne uzimati visoke doze na svoju ruku, već uvijek u dogovoru s liječnikom.

4. Suplementi s vitaminom E u visokim dozama

Vitamin E često se uzima zbog svojih antioksidativnih svojstava, ali u većim količinama može djelovati kao razrjeđivač krvi i utjecati na tlak. Prema savjetima dijetetičara, osobe s povišenim krvnim tlakom, osobito one koje već uzimaju lijekove poput antikoagulansa, trebale bi izbjegavati visoke doze ovog vitamina bez stručnog nadzora. Dugotrajna uporaba može povećati rizik od krvarenja i dodatno zakomplicirati regulaciju tlaka.

Ako imate visok krvni tlak, preporučuje se da prije uzimanja bilo kojeg dodatka prehrani konzultirate liječnika ili registriranog savjetnika za prehranu.

Zašto su mačke izbirljive oko hrane?

Post author By admin

Post date June 14, 2025

No Comments on Zašto su mačke izbirljive oko hrane?

MAČJA izbirljivost kada je riječ o hrani može biti frustrirajuća za vlasnike, pogotovo kada se trudite, tražite najbolje konzerve, kuhate piletinu ili čak kupujete skupe grickalice, samo da biste dobili pogled pun prijezira i tihi odlazak bez zalogaja. No, iza takvog ponašanja kriju se vrlo konkretni razlozi, od prirodnih instinkta do emocija i zdravlja.

Uloga instinkta i evolucije u prehrani

Iako mačke danas žive u našim domovima, njihove navike u prehrani još uvijek podsjećaju na njihove divlje pretke. Mačke su striktni mesožderi, što znači da za preživljavanje moraju jesti meso. Za razliku od ljudi, njihovo tijelo ne može crpiti sve potrebne nutrijente iz biljnih izvora.

U divljini bi mačka lovila mali plijen, poput miševa, ptica i guštera, više puta dnevno te tako osigurala male, ali česte obroke. Domaće mačke također su zadržale tu naviku: radije jedu više puta dnevno u manjim količinama. Kada imaju stalan pristup hrani, neke mačke pretjeraju i debljaju se, dok druge izgube interes i postanu izbirljive jer nemaju osjećaj gladi ili potrebe.

Biološki faktori koji oblikuju mačji apetit

Za razliku od pasa, mačke ne osjećaju slatke okuse jer im je okusni receptor za šećer evolucijski nefunkcionalan. To znači da ih kolači, keksi i voće jednostavno ne zanimaju. Umjesto toga, njih privlače slani i mesnati okusi, karakteristični za meso i ribu. Istraživanja pokazuju da mačke radije biraju vodu s okusom tunjevine nego običnu vodu, što potvrđuje njihovu snažnu sklonost mesnatim okusima.

Također, mačke su vrlo osjetljive na mirise jer im je njuh i do 14 puta jači od ljudskog. Ako im hrana ne miriši “kako treba”, bilo zbog ustajalosti, neadekvatnog čuvanja, deterdženta na zdjelici ili promjena u sastavu hrane, lako će je odbiti.

Psihološki i emocionalni uzroci izbirljivosti

Mačke su poznate po svojoj sklonosti rutini i predvidljivosti, piše trenerica za mačke Adrienne Farricelli za portal PetHelpful. Male promjene koje nama djeluju beznačajno, nova zdjelica, miris druge životinje, preseljenje pa čak i novi komad namještaja, mogu izazvati stres koji se odmah odražava na apetit. Stresne situacije mogu čak uzrokovati anoreksiju kod mačaka.

Još jedan čest razlog odbijanja hrane je negativno iskustvo povezano s određenim obrokom. Na primjer, ako je mačka dobila lijek skriven u hrani i osjetila gorak okus ili joj je nakon obroka bilo loše, vrlo je vjerojatno da će tu hranu ubuduće izbjegavati.

Neke mačke čak koriste izbirljivost kako bi privukle više pažnje. Ako primijete da vlasnik postaje posebno brižan, razgovorljiv ili im nudi ukusnije alternative nakon što odbiju hranu, mogu to naučiti kao način da dobiju dodatnu pozornost.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

Kada izbirljivost postaje problem

Važno je razlikovati normalnu izbirljivost od mogućih zdravstvenih problema. Gubitak apetita može biti prvi znak ozbiljnijih zdravstvenih stanja, dentalnih problema, bolesti bubrega, probavnih smetnji ili čak tumora. Starije mačke, uz sve to, često imaju slabiji njuh i okus, što dodatno smanjuje interes za hranu.

Veterinari upozoravaju da odrasla mačka koja ne jede dulje od 24 sata može razviti opasnu bolest jetre (hepatičku lipidozu), stoga se nikad ne smije odgađati posjet veterinaru ako mačka odbija obroke. Kod mačića mlađih od šest tjedana to razdoblje ne smije prijeći ni 12 sati.

Kako pomoći izbirljivoj mački?

Postoji niz strategija koje mogu potaknuti mačku da jede:

Veterinarski pregled je prvi i najvažniji korak – isključivanje bolesti ključno je za siguran pristup ponašanju u vezi s hranom.

Zagrijavanje hrane – blago topla hrana podsjeća na svježe ulovljen plijen i ima bolji miris.

Namakanje suhe hrane – dodavanje vode ili juhe u suhu hranu može poboljšati teksturu i miris, osobito kod starijih mačaka.

Raznovrsni okusi – ponudite raznoliku hranu, poput tunjevine, piletine ili posebnih dodataka.

Izbjegavajte pritisak – stavite zdjelicu i udaljite se. Neke mačke ne vole jesti kada ih promatrate.

Stvorite miran prostor – izbjegavajte prisutnost drugih ljubimaca i djece tijekom hranjenja.

Koristite hranilice koje funkcioniraju kao labirinti – potiču prirodni nagon za lovom i čine hranjenje zabavnijim.

Ako mačka odbije jesti svoju uobičajenu hranu, nemojte odmah nuditi “nešto bolje”, jer se time može stvoriti obrazac u kojem mačka nauči da će odbijanjem dobiti ukusniju alternativu. Umjesto toga, malo pričekajte prije nego što zamijenite hranu.

Mačke nisu izbirljive iz čiste zabave jer iza njihove selektivnosti stoji evolucija, emocije i prijašnja iskustva. Ključ uspješnog hranjenja je razumijevanje njihove prirode i nježno prilagođavanje bez prisiljavanja. Kada se promjene navika u prehrani pojave iznenada, najbolji je potez posjet veterinaru.

Hailey Bieber pokazala kutak kuhinje – pažnju su ukrali toster i aparat za kavu

No Comments on Hailey Bieber pokazala kutak kuhinje – pažnju su ukrali toster i aparat za kavu

Pri kreiranju rubrike Index Shopping nastojimo izdvajati odlične proizvode koji se i nama sviđaju te odlične akcije i popuste. Ne objavljujemo proizvode koje i sami ne bismo kupili ili smatramo da njihova promocija nije u skladu s profesionalnim standardima. Neki proizvodi u rubrici Index Shopping mogu biti sponzorirani.

HAILEY i Justin Bieber s vremena na vrijeme na društvenim mrežama podijele djeliće svog doma, što, očekivano, privuče veliku pažnju. Mnoge zanima kako poznati žive, koje uređaje koriste i kakvom su estetikom okruženi.

Nedavno je Justin pokazao masivan i luksuzan kauč Pierre Paulin u njihovom dnevnom boravku, a sada je Hailey otkrila kutak svoje kuhinje, u kojem se nalaze dva vrlo popularna, ali i vizualno privlačna kuhinjska uređaja – aparat za kavu Breville Barista Touch i retro toster Smeg.

Toster i aparat smješteni su na kamenoj radnoj ploči, ispod police s diskretnim osvjetljenjem na kojoj su uredno posložene bijele šalice, tanjurići i vaza zanimljivog dizajna. Cijeli kutak djeluje moderno i šik, savršeno uklopljen u Haileyin prepoznatljivi estetski izričaj – s naglaskom na čistoću, minimalizam i profinjenost.

Smeg tosteri obožavani su diljem svijeta zbog svog retro izgleda

Smeg tosteri obožavani su diljem svijeta zbog svog retro izgleda koji se lako uklapa u razne stilove uređenja. S obzirom na to da je Hailey poznata po svom clean girl stilu, ovaj toster idealno se uklapa u njezin dom.

No ovaj toster nije samo lijep – on je i funkcionalan. Nudi više mogućnosti, uključujući podgrijavanje, odmrzavanje i tostiranje smrznutih kriški kruha.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

S druge strane, Breville Barista Touch aparat za espresso nudi, prema tvrdnjama brenda, performanse na razini kafića – ali u kućnom formatu. Ima zaslon na dodir s unaprijed postavljenim receptima, automatsko teksturiranje mlijeka i ugrađeni mlinac koji melje kavu po potrebi.

Zahvaljujući ThermoJet sustavu grijanja, zagrijava se za samo tri sekunde, a uz mogućnost spremanja do osam personaliziranih napitaka, omogućuje omogućuje pripremu kave prilagođene vlastitim željama – doslovno jednim dodirom.

Google Search is fading. The whole internet could go with it.

Post author By admin

Post date June 14, 2025

No Comments on Google Search is fading. The whole internet could go with it.

Roughly one in five visits to the world’s top internet sites begin on search engines, according to data from analytics firm Semrush. At Wikipedia, search generates 63% of global visits. For travel site Tripadvisor, it’s 58%; for local review site Yelp, it’s 51%.

But internet search traffic has been falling for much of the past year as web surfers experiment with artificial-intelligence-powered search from OpenAI’s ChatGPT and AI start-up Perplexity AI. So far, referrals from AI search engines have replaced about 10% of the traditional search losses, according to Similarweb data.

Google is pushing back by adding AI-powered summaries to the top of its search results, de-emphasizing its traditional blue links and thereby further reducing search traffic. May could prove to be a tipping point.

Last month, search referrals to top U.S. travel and tourism sites tumbled 20% year over year, according to the latest data from Similarweb. E-commerce companies saw their referrals fall 9%. For news and media sites, search traffic dropped 17%. The finance, lifestyle, and food-and-drink categories all saw similar types of declines on the month.

Across the web economy, the trend is clear: Search is drying up, and Google is no longer the clear-cut way to drive audiences to websites. The changes have begun to force a reckoning across various industries.

Late last month, Business Insider, a leading digital news publication, cut 21% of its staff, citing traffic drops that were “outside of its control.”

“Business models are under pressure, distribution is unstable, and competition for attention is fiercer than ever,” Business Insider CEO Barbara Peng wrote to employees.

Reddit, the social-media site and source of answers to many random questions, which gets 57% of its visits from search, is making deals with AI firms and rolling out its own AI-driven search engine.

Chegg, a homework-help company, worth $15.1 billion at its peak in 2021, said earlier this year that traffic declines had given it no choice but to explore strategic alternatives, including a possible sale.

On Wall Street, no company has faced greater worries about the future of search than Google itself. Shares of parent Alphabet are down 7% on the year; the company now gets counted as a value stock in some investor benchmarks.

But Google has countermeasures. For one, it has diversified itself into a cloud-computing giant, and it’s a winner in the nascent category of autonomous driving. Google itself is also no slouch in the generative-AI world, with massive resources to build and improve its Gemini large-language models.

Instead, as traditional search fades in importance, it’s the rest of the internet that will suffer.

In May, monthly U.S. search traffic to Schwab.com fell for the first time in at least two years, according to Similarweb, down 14%. A year ago, search referrals to Schwab were up 179%. TripAdvisor’s search tumbled 34% on the month, while Starbucks saw a 41% decline to its website. Search to Netflix, a pioneer in digital strategies, was down 23%.

The traffic conversation has the feel of the 1990s and early aughts before Google arrived and companies were still trying to figure out how to attract audiences across the World Wide Web.

Executives are talking up deals with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other AI-driven search tools. “We’re partnering with AI search companies to ensure our brands show up well across customer queries,” said Expedia CEO Ariane Gorin in May, “and building new experiences to connect with travelers outside our ecosystem.”

There’s a long way to go. Based on Similarweb’s U.S. estimates, Expedia got 88,000 referrals from AI search engines in May. It got 34 million referrals from search.

The Google Effect

ChatGPT was something of a novelty when the model made its public debut in November 2022, generating a wave of songs, poems, and essays across the web. But the latest models, which are more sophisticated and promise humanlike reasoning, have spurred a surge of new use. ChatGPT had 500 million weekly active users in March, rising from 300 million in December. Many of them pay $20 a month for service; parent company OpenAI says it reached an annualized revenue run rate of $10 billion this month, up from $5.5 billion at year end.

Another start-up, Perplexity, has taken on Google more directly. “A direct line to the world’s knowledge—compressed, cited, and made clear,” Perplexity says on its about page. “No gimmicks. No fluff. Just answers that make sense.”

(Barron’s owner Dow Jones has sued Perplexity for copyright infringement.)

As AI pressure mounts on Google, the company has moved to defend its 89% U.S. market share in search. A year ago, it launched so-called AI Overviews atop Google search results, promising condensed AI-generated answers to search queries.

Those overviews, which initially appeared on a small number of searches, have been appearing more frequently. An analysis by research firm Ahrefs said that the prevalence of AI Overviews have more than doubled from March 12 to May 6.

The AI summaries have spurred debate across the internet, with publishers worried about a search query that delivers answers in a few paragraphs, with no need to click for more info. According to Similarweb data from March, searches with AI Overviews resulted in a click 23% of the time. For searches without the overviews, the click rate was 36%.

“Looking at search results that do show an AI answer, comparing that with search results that do not show an answer, we found a crazy drop-off,” said Kevin Indig, a search-engine optimization, or SEO, consultant and author of the Growth Memo blog. “This is a click killer.”

Google told Barron’s that third-party data offer an incomplete picture of search trends.

In February, online education platform Chegg said search trends had crushed its business. CEO Nathan Schultz told investors: “We would not need to review strategic alternatives if Google hadn’t launched AI Overviews, retaining traffic that historically had come to Chegg, materially impacting our acquisitions, revenue, and employees.”

Asked for comment, the company directed Barron’s to a lawsuit it filed in February against Google. It alleges that Google is using its search dominance to “coerce online publishers like Chegg to supply content that Google republishes without permission in AI-generated answers that unfairly compete for the attention of users on the internet.”

Chegg shares have tumbled 99% since 2021.

Google says its AI Overviews have improved the search experience and are being embraced by users. A Google spokesperson says that AI Overviews show more links to a wider range of sources on results pages.

“More than any other company, Google prioritizes sending traffic to the web, and we continue to send billions of clicks to websites every day,” the Google spokesperson told Barron’s.

In April, during Google’s earnings call, an analyst asked company executives about the impact that AI Overviews was having on click-through rates. “I don’t think this is the moment to go into the details of click-through rates and conversion and so on,” said Philipp Schindler, Google’s chief business officer. “But overall, we’re happy with what we’re seeing.”

‘Heavy Construction’

Reddit has become a battle ground and flashpoint in the argument about search’s future. The stock is down 28% so far this year as investors worry about slowing user growth on the social-media site.

It’s a trend the company has attributed to an evolution in search. The company remains a standout in search, and it points out that “Reddit” is the No. 6 searched term on Google. Still, traffic trends have notably shifted in recent months. In May 2024, Reddit’s search referrals soared 78%, according to Similarweb. This past May, searches to the site were up 14%.

Reddit’s daily user growth, meanwhile, has gone from 37% in the first quarter of 2024 to 31% in 2025.

Reddit Chief Operating Officer Jennifer Wong said in an interview with Barron’s that search is under “heavy construction.” Wong is confident about the long-term opportunity for Reddit, noting that its human-generated content will be especially sought after to train the large language models that run AI. Reddit has a deal with OpenAI. For now, that kind of licensing is a small part of the business, accounting for less than 9% of revenue in the most recent quarter.

“Nobody knows how Google is going to cross this canyon and the kind of ripple effects that they’ll have across the internet,” Wong says. “What I do know is that I think human intelligence is still going to be worth a lot, and it’s going to go up and up in value, and I think Reddit is the place for that.”

Wall Street generally agrees. Across 29 analysts covering Reddit, the average price target is $152, 31% above its recent close.

Going forward, investors should pay attention to a company’s search exposure. Across the categories, certain brands are far less dependent on Google’s referrals. Airbnb, for instance, got 14% of referrals from search in March, versus the 58% for travel firm Tripadvisor, according to Semrush. DoorDash and Uber Technologies were 13%. Social-media apps like Pinterest and Meta Platform’s Instagram also tend to be far less search-dependent than much of the internet. Their sites drew 23% and 17% of referrals from search, respectively.

In May, Pinterest’s CEO told investors that 85% of users come directly to the company’s mobile app.

Hedging Against Search

Meta Platforms, which essentially shares the online advertising pie with Google, is in an enviable position. As search traffic falls and traditional search advertising wanes, businesses will be compelled to advertise on Instagram and Facebook, Meta’s social networks that are insulated from search disruption.

Meanwhile, Meta can use AI to improve ad effectiveness and personalization. As Google defends itself against AI, Meta is free to fully embrace it.

Ultimately, the best hedge against AI disruption is the company empowering it all: Nvidia. As AI explodes, Nvidia will sell more AI chips and the infrastructure to power data centers. Newer reasoning-focused AI models are particularly profitable for Nvidia because they require 100 times the computing resources compared with prior AI chatbots, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told investors on Nvidia’s recent earnings call. “Reasoning models are driving a step-function surge in inference demand,” he said.

From Disrupter to Disrupted

As Google Search comes under threat for the first time in two decades, a U.S. district judge is determining the company’s fate. Judge Amit Mehta ruled in August 2024 that Google was a monopoly in general search services and general text advertising.

Alphabet and its investors are now waiting for the judge to determine potential remedies. A penalty phase of the trial concluded last month, and Mehta is expected to issue a final decision in August.

The timing is notable. Alphabet was ruled a monopoly around the same time that it was pushing out AI Overviews. Less than a year later, search is facing a massive competitive shift as users increasingly embrace chatbots.

Apple’s senior vice president of services, Eddy Cue, testified that searches in Apple browsers fell for the first time in April as people increasingly turned to AI for search queries. Google pays billions of dollars to Apple annually to make its search engine the default option on Apple browsers.

But don’t expect Google’s recent weakness to affect Mehta’s decision.

Antony Haynes, partner at Dorf Nelson & Zauderer, told Barron’s that even though these new competitive threats have become more prevalent since the judge made his ruling, it’s unlikely those threats will affect his decisions regarding remedies.

“We’re not thinking about a remedy for potential future technology changes. We’re looking at what they did in the past,” Haynes said.

That past includes one of the best business models ever created. Last year, Alphabet’s operating margin was 32% versus an aggregate 14% for S&P 500 index companies. Meanwhile, since Alphabet went public in 2004, the stock has returned an annualized 23.7%, versus 10.6% for the S&P 500.

A post-search world will probably weigh on those margins, but Alphabet stock already reflects the next phase. It trades at 17.8 times expected earnings for the next 12 months, below the S&P 500’s 22.5 multiple.

Barron’s has remained bullish on the stock, including in a November 2024 cover story and a follow-up last month.

Google will be fine. It’s the rest of the internet that should be worried.

No Comments on Gary Oldman receives Knighthood in King Charles’ birthday honours

The popular dance show Strictly Come Dancing’s presenters Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly earned MBEs. Erstwhile BBC presenter Martha Kearney also received a CBE.

The honours recognised several influential producers for their profound contributions to the television industry. Stephen Lambert, the celebrated filmmaker behind Undercover Boss and The Traitors, earned an OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire). The King also awarded Doctor Who and Industry producer Jane Tranter a CBE.

Tranter expressed her profound gratitude, stating, “For this honour to arrive in Bad Wolf’s tenth anniversary year means a great deal to me. Running Bad Wolf has been the beating heart of my career — I have loved every job I have ever had, but nothing compares to this one.”

Lambert added, “It’s a privilege to work in television, telling stories that entertain, engage, and, I hope, bring people together. This recognition is a testament to the extraordinary teams I’ve had the pleasure of working with over the years — brilliant colleagues, collaborators, and creatives who make it all possible.”

The King also recognised BAFTA-winning filmmaker and screenwriter Jeff Pope, recognised for titles such as Philomena, with an MBE. He awarded an OBE to John Whiston, ITV’s outgoing boss of Coronation Street and Emmerdale.

In the business and media sectors, Dana Strong, the Chief Executive Officer of Comcast’s Sky, earned a CBE for her services. King Charles honoured Jackie Faulkner, the operations director at Sky News, with an MBE. On the other hand, Tricia Tuttle, the director of the Berlin International Film Festival, received an MBE, and Screen Alliance Wales’ Managing Director Allison Dowzell secured an OBE.

No Comments on NSE/BSE, Top Gainers & Top Losers Today 13 Jun 2025: Tech Mahindra, TCS, Adani Ports, Maruti

Tech Mahindra, TCS, Maruti Suzuki, and Sun Pharma gain as broader markets falter amid geopolitical tensions.

Shares of Tech Mahindra Ltd., Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. (TCS), Maruti Suzuki India Ltd., and Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. were the only gainers in Friday’s session, as broader markets came under pressure from renewed geopolitical tensions.

On the flip side, HDFC Bank Ltd., IndusInd Bank Ltd., State Bank of India (SBI), ITC Ltd., and Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd. led the laggards.

Benchmark indices extended their losing streak for the second straight session on Friday, rattled by a spike in crude oil prices following Israel’s military strikes on Iran, which escalated geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The BSE Sensex tumbled 573.38 points or 0.70 per cent to 81,118.60, while the NSE Nifty 50 lost 169.60 points or 0.68 per cent to 24,718.60.

Top Gainers

Tech Mahindra held firm, rising 1.02 per cent to ₹1,660.50 on resilient demand for IT stocks amid market uncertainty.

TCS added 0.38 per cent to ₹3,447.10, while Maruti Suzuki edged up 0.16 per cent to ₹12,401.55.

Sun Pharma ended marginally higher at ₹1,688.70, up 0.10 per cent.

Top Losers

Adani Ports was the steepest loser, dropping 2.71 per cent to ₹1,405.25 amid fears of higher logistics costs from rising crude.

ITC fell 1.67 per cent to ₹413.90, while SBI declined 1.64 per cent to ₹792.40.

IndusInd Bank slipped 1.59 per cent to ₹816.55, and HDFC Bank was down 1.15 per cent at ₹1,919.60.

Although India’s May CPI inflation reading came in below the RBI’s comfort zone, offering some relief, the overall sentiment remained fragile as crude’s rally stirred fresh inflation and interest rate fears.

Contributor: In precarious times, an old restaurant idea makes new sense

Post author By admin

Post date June 14, 2025

No Comments on Contributor: In precarious times, an old restaurant idea makes new sense

Back in the 1980s, the norm-busting adman Jay Chiat liked to pose the question, “How big can we get before we get bad?” as his Los Angeles-based boutique agency attracted clients like Apple and Nike.

It is all too easy, he figured, to do more and accomplish less.

He might as well have been talking about restaurants. For a long time, the industry has embraced replication as the holy grail: If we build it, and then we build a lot more of it, they will come, and we will make lots of money.

But big is no guarantee. Sometimes it fails for reasons that have less to do with the food than with exponential reality — impatient investors, ego battles between the money people and the chef, and the challenge of managing employees owners have never met in cities they rarely visit. Or if all that works just fine, maybe the chef gets cautious about the menu to protect success, and jaded restaurant-chasers move on.

Restaurants are not financial institutions. There’s no such thing as too big to fail.

Lately, a new generation of restaurateurs has embraced a more modest model, one that harks back to the era before social media and competitive food TV: the old-school one and done; maybe two, but not 10, and not a nationwide restaurant empire.

These independent owner-operators want a career defined by a ZIP Code rather than by cloned outlets and corporate memos, one where they’re on a first-name basis with their customers, their employees and their suppliers. Their notion of success sounds suspiciously, and delightfully, like what it was before a marquee sensibility inflated everyone’s dreams. Owners get real-time gratification. We get just what we need right now — good food with side orders of comfort and connection.

L.A.’s Café Telegrama and Ètra were early arrivals in what’s about to become a colony of little independent restaurants near the intersection of Melrose and Western avenues. Jyan Isaac Bread and its sibling, Ghisallo, have helped turn a block in Santa Monica’s Ocean Park neighborhood into what one regular happily calls “carb alley.” And De La Nonna combines a pizza joint, take-out slice window and a disco bar called the Let’s Go! at the intersection of Little Tokyo, Skid Row and the Arts District. Look around your neighborhood and I expect you’ll find examples of your own.

To improve their odds, these restaurateurs avoid spaces with destination-dining rents, run multiple operations out of a shared space to decrease downtime and work the room in person. “We gravitated toward small,” said Andrew Lawson, an owner of Café Telegrama and Ètra. “The chef and the partners are on the floor five nights a week, we touch the tables, we know what the regulars like.”

These doubled-up operations improve the odds of what Lawson calls the “crossover customers” who show up for morning coffee, check out the more expensive dinner menu and are inclined to give it a try because they already like the cafe. Jyan Isaac Bread spreads the word with a wholesale operation, generating profits from outlets someone else operates, and De La Nonna has opened an outpost in Big Bear. That’s as big as small gets.

Let’s not kid ourselves; there’s no magic survival formula. The National Restaurant Assn. reports “pent-up demand” across all dining sectors but notes that millennials and Gen Xers prefer to get their food to-go, which puts a crimp in profitable alcohol sales and tips. Here in L.A., restaurants barely caught their breath post-pandemic before fires and the entertainment industry exodus wiped them out, along with their customer base; now the threat of tariffs and higher food costs looms. Business is off from 30% to “empty” in many parts of the city, depending on whom you ask.

And that sorry appraisal predates the arrival this week of ICE and federal troops, which means employees and customers may not be showing up at restaurants at all.

If it seems frivolous to worry about the restaurant business amid everything else that’s going on, think again, because their reach extends far beyond their front doors: Fewer customers means fewer employee shifts, fewer orders for farmers and suppliers, fewer places for you to unwind at the end of a tough day.

That kind of reality check rarely stops someone who’s passionate about feeding people, though. Instead, owners downsize, partner up, work the room, sell their wares wholesale. Small may be the only dream that makes any kind of sense right now.

As for the flip side, I recently conducted an utterly limited and personal investigation on a trip to New York, where the excellent cappuccino at my first stop had morphed into watery coffee topped by something like Styrofoam, and the lunchtime salmon bowl at the second location involved a tired slab of fish retrieved from a warming drawer. And yet both places are so popular they’re opening outlets nationwide — which might be where the focus has shifted to, rather than the food.

Give me little and local anytime.

My first morning back in Santa Monica, I went straight to Jyan Isaac Bread, although I could’ve made coffee at home. Yes, I missed the food; there’s a reason the owner is referred to as the Dough Whisperer. But I also missed the experience: employees who are not cogs in a wheel but individuals with personalities, interests, questions about where I’d been — and answers about what they’d been up to during our communications gap.

When the equivalent experience comes to a vacant storefront near you, count yourself lucky. The big thing now is small: upstart indies that are strategizing to reclaim what a restaurant is supposed to be.

Karen Stabiner’s most recent book is “Generation Chef: Risking It All for a New American Dream.”

Long-lost sanctuary to Greek god brings ancient rituals ‘back to life,’ archaeologists say

No Comments on Long-lost sanctuary to Greek god brings ancient rituals ‘back to life,’ archaeologists say

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Archaeologists recently made numerous “spectacular” discoveries at a long-forgotten temple to an Ancient Greek god, according to local officials.

The Department of Antiquities in Cyprus shared a Facebook post about the latest excavation on April 28. The site, the Sanctuary of Apollo at Frangissa, was first discovered in the 19th century before it was subsequently lost, the group said.

Apollo, the god of archery and the son of Zeus, was venerated both in Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. He was one of the 12 Olympian deities in Greek mythology, said to have lived upon Mount Olympus along with his father Zeus and sister Artemis.

ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNEARTH STRANGE HEAD DEPICTING ROMAN GOD BENEATH CATHOLIC BASILICA

A German archaeologist named Max Ohnefalsch-Richter found the sanctuary in 1885, which the Department of Antiquities described as “one of the most spectacular finds of his time.”

“[It was] a richly furnished rural sanctuary of Apollo,” said the post, which was translated from Greek to English. “It was furnished with a lavish abundance of votive statues numbering in the hundreds, some of which were of colossal dimensions.”

Massive statues and inscriptions dating back 2,700 years were recently discovered at an ancient sanctuary in Cyprus. (Cyprus Department of Antiquities)

But the 19th-century excavation was hastily done — and Ohnefalsch-Richter covered the sanctuary up with dirt to preserve it. It was soon forgotten.

“As the excavator completely covered the sanctuary, including the statue bases and walls, its location was eventually forgotten,” the Facebook post noted.

ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNCOVER WELL-PRESERVED TEMPLE, CULT CENTER DATING BACK TO ANCIENT EGYPT

German archaeologists began a new search for the site in 2021. It was eventually found, and the latest excavation of the site recently wrapped up.

This year, excavators found numerous statues of massive proportions, as well as votive statues that were found in the backfill area from 1885.

“In the process, the walls of the dedication courtyard and over 100 statue bases, some of colossal size, were uncovered in large areas,” the department said.

“Apparently in 1885 [the votive statues] were not recognized as artifacts in the rush,” the post continued. “They fundamentally expand our knowledge of this sacred place.”

Archaeologists also recently found “completely new types of statues” that were previously unknown. They plan to restore them to their original appearance.

ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNCOVER GOLDEN ‘TONGUES’ AND ‘NAILS’ IN ANCIENT EGYPTIAN TOMB: ‘REMARKABLE AREA’

“The discovery of clearly larger-than-life feet, for example, means that the existence of colossal male limestone figures from archaic times can now be proven,” the press release added.

“Such larger-than-life figures were previously only known here in Frangissa made from terracotta, including the famous ‘Colossus of Tamassos’ in the Cyprus Museum exhibition.”

The release went on, “In addition, evidence of other previously unknown types of votive objects was also found, such as marbled glass beads or Egyptian amulets made of faience [tin-glazed pottery].”

The statues also contained inscriptions in particular languages that give historians an idea of how old they were – possibly as far back as 2,700 years ago.

“The discovery of two bases with inscriptions is spectacular,” the statement read. “One is inscribed with several local Cypro-Syllabic characters, while the other refers in Greek letters to the Ptolemies, the Hellenistic rulers of Egypt who also controlled Cyprus at the time.”

“The existence of colossal male limestone figures from archaic times can now be proven.”

“It shows that the sanctuary played an important role not only in archaic times (7th and 6th centuries B.C.), but also after the end of the Cypriot kingdoms.”

Archaeologists also believe that the site went through a significant expansion during the end of the Cypriot kingdoms, which can be observed in the architecture.

“During this time, a large peristyle courtyard was built next to the votive offering room, which was probably used for banquets.”

Archaeologists will continue studying the artifacts found at the site of the sanctuary. (Cyprus Department of Antiquities)

The department noted that the latest excavations “open up the possibility of exploring the architecture of the sanctuary, which was only inadequately documented by Ohnefalsch-Richte.”

The statement also said that “apparently” the “court had several phases of construction and utilization.”

“The further investigation of the preserved remains thus promises to provide important, far-reaching insights that will bring back to life the ritual behavior of past times and allow them to be seen in their original spatial setting.”

Tern GSD S10 Electric Cargo Bike Review: The Best Little Electric Cargo Bike

Post author By admin

Post date June 14, 2025

No Comments on Tern GSD S10 Electric Cargo Bike Review: The Best Little Electric Cargo Bike

With all that said, my family and I are year-round riders and live in Portland, Oregon. I live in terror that something will happen to my kids on my bike and there have been multiple times on rainy winters on hills when I have forced my much spouse to switch bikes and ride with the kids because he’s much bigger than I am and I was scared. If this is you, then you need ABS brakes. This would’ve allayed my fears quite a bit.

If safety is also one of your primary concerns, the S10 also meets the DIN 79010, the German safety standard that’s the only cargo bike standard that exists. The newly reinforced frame was tested under the DIN 79010 and verified to be safe carrying up to 463 pounds. Other components, like the rear rack, kickstand, and braking system are all tested under the DIN 79010, which is important because you don’t want the kickstand to collapse or fall while you’re strapping your baby into her Thule seat.

My kids are now 7 and 10 and ride their very own nice mountain bikes, but I did load up the panniers with mulch and wood chips and ride up and down the steepest hill in my neighborhood with about a 10 to 15 percent grade, and I felt pretty secure about its stopping power. If my kids were still pretty small, paying for ABS brakes would be a good way to extend the use of the bike through the rain.

With the smart system, you’re also paying for GPS tracking if it’s stolen, locks, the Bosch eBike Flow app that connects to your phone, and customizable drive settings, so you can tweak the power settings for Eco, Tour, Sport, and Turbo.

This is important, because I have had a double battery mounted on my old Tern for so long that I forgot that the range on this is quite small. A 12-mile ride at over 20 mph depleted the battery to 50 percent in less than an hour, and I am a relatively small person (115 pounds). I would immediately put a double battery on this if you are considering it as a commuter. The Tern has a Kiox 300 Bosch display, which is easy to scroll through, but with the Flow app I would also probably just pop it off (you can pop it off!) and put my phone on a bike mount.

This may be a little hard to swallow: The bike costs $7,000, and that’s just the starting point. You will need another battery, and I guarantee you are going to want accessories, especially if you have a kid. Tern’s accessories are unmatched, especially if you have kids. I have a Storm Box, which protects my kids while riding in the rain. You can also put on a Sun Shield to protect your kids from the sun or an integrated TowBar so you can easily add a trailer.

Muči vas neugodan osjećaj u nogama prije spavanja? Uzrokuje ga jedan poremećaj

Post author By admin

No Comments on Muči vas neugodan osjećaj u nogama prije spavanja? Uzrokuje ga jedan poremećaj

SVE VIŠE ljudi doživljava neugodan osjećaj nemira u nogama tijekom večeri, osobito u trenucima kada pokušavaju zaspati. Riječ je o sindromu nemirnih nogu (RLS – Restless Legs Syndrome), neurološkom poremećaju koji često ostaje neprepoznat i nedovoljno shvaćen, kako među pacijentima, tako i među zdravstvenim djelatnicima.

Prema procjenama, ovaj poremećaj pogađa između 4 i 29 posto odraslih osoba u zapadnim industrijaliziranim zemljama, a sve češće se prepoznaje i kod djece. “Sindrom nemirnih nogu karakterizira neodgodiva potreba za pomicanjem nogu, koja je često praćena neugodnim senzacijama”, objašnjava dr. John Winkelman, voditelj istraživačkog programa poremećaja spavanja u Općoj bolnici Massachusetts i profesor psihijatrije na Harvardu.

Što uzrokuje nemir u nogama?

Simptomi RLS-a najčešće se javljaju kada osoba miruje – tijekom sjedenja ili ležanja – i pojačavaju se navečer i noću. Neugodni osjećaji koje pacijenti opisuju uključuju žarenje, trnce, pulsiranje ili osjećaj puzanja ispod kože, a olakšanje donosi jedino kretanje. U težim slučajevima, simptomi se javljaju gotovo svake večeri i mogu znatno odgoditi uspavljivanje.

Kod nekih osoba sindrom ima genetsku podlogu, dok je kod drugih povezan s manjkom željeza, osobito kod trudnica, osoba s anemijom, žena u reproduktivnoj dobi ili vegetarijanaca. Povezanost postoji i s uporabom određenih lijekova, osobito antidepresiva iz skupine SSRI-a.

Zanimljivo je da i djeca mogu razviti simptome, što potvrđuje i slučaj jedanaestogodišnje djevojčice Karle Dzienkowski, čija je majka, medicinska sestra i ravnateljica Zaklade za sindrom nemirnih nogu, istaknula koliko dijagnoza može kasniti – ponekad i godinama.

Kako si pomoći?

Osnovna terapija počinje promjenom životnih navika. Liječnici savjetuju izbjegavanje alkohola, prerađenih šećera i nekih lijekova koji mogu pogoršati simptome. Kod osoba s niskim vrijednostima željeza preporučuju se dodaci prehrani ili, u određenim slučajevima, intravenska terapija željezom.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

Stručnjaci također preporučuju primjenu toplih ili hladnih obloga, masaže, kratke šetnje ili umne aktivnosti koje odvraćaju pažnju i mogu smanjiti osjećaj nelagode.

Ako promjene životnog stila ne pomažu, liječnici mogu propisati lijekove iz skupine alfa2-delta liganada (poput gabapentina ili pregabalina). U najtežim slučajevima koriste se niske doze dugodjelujućih opioida, ali se primjenjuju uz veliki oprez.

Kada potražiti pomoć?

Ako primjećujete da vas nelagoda u nogama tjera na kretanje u vrijeme odmora – osobito ako vam to remeti san – svakako se obratite liječniku. Iako svi zdravstveni djelatnici nisu jednako upoznati s ovim poremećajem, može pomoći uputnica specijalistu za poremećaje spavanja. Također, preporučuje se napraviti laboratorijske pretrage, osobito željezo i feritin, kako bi se procijenile zalihe i dostupnost željeza u organizmu.

“Što prije potražite pomoć, to bolje,” savjetuje Dzienkowski. “Umor, razdražljivost i pad koncentracije koji osjećate danju možda su posljedica sindroma nemirnih nogu – nemojte to ignorirati.”

1. Neospin – Best PayID Online Pokies Casino in Australia Overall

Pros:

Potential for a $10,000 welcome offer

Around 6,000 online casino games

Various payment method options for payouts

Games can be played for free in demo mode

Pokies from Betsoft and BGaming

Cons:

Could use a few extra table games

Needs more categories for easy navigation

The ultimate online pokie gaming experience in Australia is at Neospin. You can use PayID to play some of the top pokies games in the whole country here and to grab some of the best bonus offers.

Pokie Selection: 4.95/5

As expected from the top real money online casino, there are over 5,000 online pokies to play at Neospin, so you’re hardly going to be short on choice. We were pleased to find a fair range of different styles of games as well, including a bunch of jackpot pokies and some interesting themes, so there’s something for everyone.

The developers in charge of these games are strong for the most part as well, and this gives an idea of how good the games are going to be. Names such as Betsoft and BGaming are involved, and they’ve put forward some of their highest RTP and most well-designed options.

Bonuses & Promotions: 4.95/5

The first bonus to grab at Neospin is the welcome offer, and this just so happens to be one of the best welcome bonuses of all. It’s a 100% up to $10,000 deposit match, plus 100 free spins, and you just need to use the promo code NEO100 to trigger it.

Other offers here that could be worth making use of include the loyalty program, the weekly 66% deposit match reload bonus, and the daily cashback of up to 20%.

PayID Integration & Other Payment Options: 5/5

Setting up PayID to make your deposit at Neospin is a walk in the park because of some great design work on the site itself.

Withdrawals are pretty straightforward too, as you’ll have the choice of several payment method options to do so, including crypto, Neteller, and MiFinity. For most of these methods, payouts are processed instantly.

2. Skycrown – Best Australian PayID Pokies Deposit Bonuses

Pros:

$8,000 welcome bonus with 400 free spins

10-minute average payout processing

Over 6,000 online pokies games

Easy PayID deposits through great design

Save your favourite games in a personal collection

Cons:

Limits on non-crypto payments

Could feature some more progressive jackpot networks

If you’re in Australia and want to get some great PayID deposit bonuses to play online pokies with, head over to Skycrown. Their welcome offer is one of the best we’ve ever seen, and it’s far from the only offer there.

Pokie Selection: 4.9/5

The total number of online pokies at Skycrown is over 6000, which is a striking figure. It’s one that spans a good mix of different types of games as well, from Megaways to free spins titles.

Not all of these games come from top developers, so you might have to pick out some of your favourite names and sort by these to find the best bits. But if you do that, you’ll find a lot of great jackpot games and more within.

Bonuses & Promotions: 4.95/5

There’s an enormous bonus package worth up to $8,000 and 400 free spins up for grabs for new players at Skycrown. Not only is this one of the largest amounts of bonus cash in Australia, but it’s one of the highest figures of free spins we’ve seen in a single bonus as well.

Despite the fact that there’s such a massive amount of cash up for grabs here, the wagering requirements are actually pretty reasonable, so you won’t have to spend too long worrying about those.

PayID Integration & Other Payment Options: 4.95/5

Skycrown is also one of the fastest online casinos for payouts in Australia. Their average payout processing time is just 10 minutes, so you should get your money back in a short period of time (just a few hours, most of the time) after this.

The maximum amount you can withdraw in one go here is $6,000 for many of the payment methods, too, and that’s a little above average.

It should also be noted that the process of placing a PayID deposit is very straightforward because of some smart design. The Skycrown desktop site and mobile app are really smooth to use, and they look great as well.

3. Casinonic – Best for PayID Mobile Online Pokies in Australia

Pros:

Tuesday, Wednesday & Friday bonus

Over 5,000 online pokies games

Welcome offer worth up to $7,500

Pokies from Belatra and IGT

Superb mobile interface

Cons:

A few low-quality titles

Some payment options have fees

The best way to keep your bankroll topped up to play more online pokies is with reload offers, and Casinonic has some particularly good examples of these.

Pokie Selection: 4.85/5

We counted a total of over 5,000 online pokies games to play at Casinonic, so this is another strong collection, for sure.

It was particularly impressive for us to see such a wide range of Hold & Win pokies here, including Power Sun 3 x 3 and Diamonds Power 3 x 3.

Again, you won’t find all the best game developers here, so be sure to go to the best ones like IGT and Betsoft. You can easily do this by clicking on their logos at the top of the homepage.

Bonuses & Promotions: 4.9/5

The range of reload bonuses at Casinonic beats most other online casinos in Australia. You can get a 100% deposit match of up to $150 every Tuesday, 200 free spins every Wednesday, and 50% up to $300 on Fridays.

There are further opportunities to get free spins for specific games, a birthday bonus, and more. You’d be hard-pressed to run out of bonus cash or free spins at this site.

But it’s important not to forget the welcome bonus in the first place, as this is well worth grabbing as well. It’s a package worth up to $7,500 plus free spins.

PayID Integration & Other Payment Options: 4.95/5

Using the Casinonic website isn’t the easiest in the world, as the site doesn’t feel as well-designed as one or two of our other top picks. But the good news is that you won’t have to jump through too many hoops to place your PayID deposit.

When it comes to getting paid out, you’re going to have the option of around 10 payment methods, including e-Wallets, transfers to your bank account, and a handful of cryptocurrencies. For most of these methods, payouts are fee-free.

4. Kingmaker – Fastest Payouts of Any AU PayID Pokies Online Casino

Pros:

Payout processing is automatic

$2,000 deposit match and 50 spins

Higher bank transaction limits

50 free spins available each week

Plenty of low-variance pokies

Cons:

Fewer reload bonuses for pokies

Not very many progressive jackpots

Fourth place in our rankings of the best places to play PayID online pokies goes to Kingmaker. Here’s why.

Pokie Selection: 4.8/5

Perhaps the best part of the collection of online pokies at Kingmaker is the sheer range of themes available. There are a lot of games here, covering everything from Ancient Egypt through to the jungle.

In fact, the total number of online pokies games at Kingmaker is over 7,000, so you’re not going to be short on choice for any type of game.

When it comes to game mechanics, there are plenty of options as well. You can play lots of high or low variance games, with varying numbers of reels and ways to win. We just would have liked to have seen a few more progressive jackpot online slots.

Bonuses & Promotions: 4.8/5

Kingmaker is currently offering new players a 100% deposit match of up to $2,000, as well as 50 free spins that can be used to have a chance at winning a jackpot of over $1,000,000. Not bad.

The wagering for this offer is going to be 35x, which is pretty much average for a bonus of this size in Australia.

When you’ve used up your bonus, you can come back for 15% cashback of up to $4,500, 50 free spins, plus a handful of other offers for existing customers.

There are a few more PayID casino bonuses to get your hands on here, although there don’t appear to be any specific deposit match reloads. Hopefully, some of these will be added in the future.

PayID Integration & Other Payment Options: 4.9/5

When you want to withdraw winnings at Kingmaker, you shouldn’t have to wait more than a few minutes if you choose the right payment method. They process payouts automatically, which we love to see. You don’t see many instant PayID withdrawal casino sites.

The choice of banking options that you can use for these instant payouts includes Jeton, crypto, and bank transfers. With many of these methods, you can cash out up to $8,800 at a time. That’s a little more than average and will suit higher roller players and jackpot winners.

It’s super easy to place a deposit with PayID when you want to fund your account as well. Kingmaker is one of the best-looking and easiest to use casino sites we’ve ever come across. So, all in all, the banking here is about as good as it gets.

5. MrPacho – Best Aussie Online Pokies PayID Casino for Megaways Games

Pros:

Dozens of top Megaways games

$750 welcome bonus plus 200 FS

Free play pokies available

Super smooth desktop app

50 free spins available every week

Cons:

Smaller welcome bonus

Still relatively new

Megaways offer an incredible number of ways to win, as well as all sorts of extra exciting reel mechanics. If you’re new to them, check out some of the best examples at MrPacho.

Pokie Selection: 4.8/5

MrPacho is the top place to play online pokies games with the Megaways feature, with dozens of options available. A few of our favourite Megaways games to play here include Big Bucks Bandits Megaways, Diamond Mine Megaways, and, of course, our top pick, Big Bad Wolf Megaways.

If you haven’t played a Megaways game before, we recommend trying one out for free as a demo so that you can get a feel for it before you play for real money. Fortunately, you can do this with all of the games at MrPacho.

Outside of Megaways, there are still a lot of great pokies to play here. We found plenty of options, spanning all kinds of styles. And many of them come from top-tier developers, such as NetEnt and Microgaming, so we know they’re going to be worth a play.

Bonuses & Promotions: 4.75/5

New players at MrPacho can benefit from another 100% up to $750 deposit match when they first sign up for an account.

The offer also comes with 200 free spins. That’s a much larger amount than you can get at most other Australian online casinos.

Both parts of the bonus need to be wagered 35 times, so even though the bonus is larger than average, the wagering requirements are not.

MrPacho is also offering all players 50 free spins every week, as well as a handful of other bonuses.

PayID Integration & Other Payment Options

It’s particularly easy to place a PayID deposit at MrPacho if you choose to download the desktop app. This is an excellent piece of software that streamlines the banking and gaming experiences.

And when you want to get paid out, you can withdraw instantly to a fair list of methods, including bank transfer and crypto.

How We Chose the Best Online Pokies PayID Australia Casinos

Pokie Selection

Having one great pokie is not going to be enough for an online casino to land itself on our list of the best PayID pokies casinos. There should be 1000s of games, covering a wide range of different styles.

Bonuses & Promotions

Hopefully, we’re going to be able to play most of the pokies at each site with a handful of free spins and perhaps some deposit match bonus cash. Most of this will probably come through the welcome offer, but reload bonuses can help out with this sometimes, too.

PayID Integration & Other Payment Options

It’s important that online casinos make it easy for us to place deposits with PayID. Good site design goes a long way to help out with this. There should be plenty of payment methods, like bank transfers, for withdrawals, and the process for achieving these payouts should be fast.

We used similar benchmarks when ranking the best real money online casinos available to Canadian players in this guide.

Types of Online Pokies at PayID Australian Casinos

Believe it or not, there are actually dozens of different types of pokies. They’re one of the most diverse forms of online casino games in the world. Here are some common types that you can look out for.

Three-reel Pokies

These are the classic ways to play online pokies games. They resemble the vintage mechanical pokies of old, but you might see them with more modern themes and designs. These games are some of the easiest to play, so they can work out well for those who are new to the world of pokies.

Five-reel Pokies

Most online PayID pokies in Australia these days will have five reels instead of the classic, mechanical three. This means more paylines and a more dynamic experience. Around 80% of all online pokies games will offer this type of setup.

Multi-payline and Multi-reel Pokies

To really ramp up the dynamic experience of playing online pokies, check out games with further reels and paylines, such as Megaways options, which offer up to 117,649 ways to win in most games. These can be super fun, but highly volatile.

3D Pokies

Some video pokies go even further and are designed with 3D graphics. A few years ago, many of these looked a little gimmicky, but as time has gone by and both technology and design have improved, they can actually be quite absorbing and more immersive to play.

Progressive Pokies

The idea of a progressive jackpot pokie is that a small amount of every single stake on it goes into a pot. The value of that pot will then accrue over time, until eventually and randomly, it all gets paid out to one player. That could be to the value of $1,000,000s in some cases.

Branded Pokies

You might find it more fun to play pokies with recognisable brands. Many movies, TV shows or famous bands have online pokies branded after them. Just be aware that some of these pokies have lower RTPs or max wins than non-branded games.

Top Tips for Using PayID to Play Online Pokies in Australia

Ready to find out a little more about how to play instant PayID pokies in Australia for real money? Here are five top tips that you should certainly bear in mind before you get started.

Choose a Trusted Australian Casino Online: Only sign up for the safest online casinos in Australia, such as the top 10 we have picked out for you today. You could be at risk of unfair treatment if you skip this.

Confirm Each Casino’s PayID Carefully: Make sure to look up what the PayID code is for your online casino and copy it carefully. Otherwise, you might end up losing your deposit funds.

Stick to Your Bankroll: Never spend more than your disposable income. If you feel like you’re trying to chase your losses, then it’s time to stop and come back another day. Use deposit limits if you need some further help with this.

Opt for the Right Withdrawal Method: Make sure to check out which payment methods you can use to cash out from an online casino before you sign up. Choose the payment method that suits your needs the best, whether it be speed or just where you hold your money.

Make Use of Welcome Offers: Welcome bonuses are your friend if you want to get more time playing pokies, as they boost your bankroll in order to help you do so. It’s worth getting your hands on a few of these while you work out which pokies sites or games to play.

Chris Evans podijelio koje su mu omiljene romantične komedije. Izdvojio neke klasike

Post author By admin

Post date June 14, 2025

No Comments on Chris Evans podijelio koje su mu omiljene romantične komedije. Izdvojio neke klasike

CHRIS EVANS mnogima je najpoznatiji po ulozi Kapetana Amerike u Marvelovim filmovima, ali sam je glumio i u nekoliko romantičnih komedija, a od nedavno se u brojnim kinima može pogledati najnoviji rom-com u kojem glumi – film Materialists u kojem nastupa uz Dakotu Johnson i Pedra Pascala.

U jednom intervjuu za Entertainment Weekly glumca su pitali da izdvoji omiljene filmove iz ovog žanra, a podijelio je neke od klasika koje mnogi obožavaju. Na njegovom popisu nalaze se filmovi Ja u ljubav vjerujem (Notting Hill), Kad je Harry sreo Sally (When Harry Met Sally…), Romansa u Seattleu (Sleepless in Seattle) i Plaćenik (Grosse Pointe Blank).

Za Plaćenika, koji se smatra crnom komedijom, Chris Evans je komentirao: “To je na neki način romantična komedija. Gotovo kao njezina nadograđena verzija. Scenarij i gluma su fantastični.” Na popisu Chrisa Evansa nalaze se svi poznati filmovi, pa se podsjetimo ukratko svakog od njih.

Ja u ljubav vjerujem

Romantična komedija Rogera Michella iz 1999. godine u glavnim ulogama ima Juliju Roberts i Hugha Granta. Radnja prati Williama Thackera (Grant) kao vlasnika knjižare u Londonu čiji se dosadni život pretvara u romantičnu zbrku kada u njegovu trgovinu uđe slavna američka glumica Anna Scott (Roberts).

Slučajni susret zbog prolivenog soka od naranče dovodi do poljupca koji se razvija u pravu ljubavnu vezu. Kako se prosječni momak i glamurozna filmska zvijezda sve više zbližavaju, pokušavaju uskladiti svoje potpuno različite stilove života u ime ljubavi.

Kad je Harry sreo Sally

Jedan od najpoznatijih romantičnih filmova redatelja Roba Reinera iz 1989. godine u glavnim ulogama imao je zvijezde Meg Ryan i Billyja Crystala. Ova poznata romantična priča počinje 1977. godine kada su netom diplomirani Harry Burns (Crystal) i Sally Albright (Ryan) zajedno putovali automobilom od Chicaga do New Yorka. Tijekom svog putovanja raspravljaju o tome mogu li muškarci i žene ikada biti isključivo platonski prijatelji.

Deset godina kasnije Harry i Sally ponovno se susreću u knjižari te, u društvu svojih najboljih prijatelja Jessa (Bruno Kirby) i Marie (Carrie Fisher), pokušavaju ostati prijatelji bez da seks postane problem među njima.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

Romansa u Seattleu

Romansa u Seattleu redateljice Nore Ephron bila je jedan od komercijski najuspješnijih filmova devedesetih godina prošlog stoljeća. Glavne uloge tumačili su Tom Hanks i Meg Ryan, a priča je pratila Sama Baldwina (Hanks) koji se nakon smrti supruge seli sa sinom Jonahom u Seattle.

Kada Jonah nazove radijsku emisiju kako bi pronašao novu ženu za svog oca, Sam nevoljko pristaje razgovarati o svojim osjećajima na liniji. Annie Reed (Ryan), novinarka iz Baltimora, čuje njegov govor i zaljubi se u njega, iako je zaručena. Nesigurna kamo će je to odvesti, piše Samu pismo u kojem ga poziva da se na Valentinovo sastanu na Empire State Buildingu.

Plaćenik

Plaćenik redatelja Georgea Armitaga iz 1997. godine zapravo nije opisan kao romantična komedija, ali se svejedno nalazi na popisu slavnog glumca. Ovaj film u glavnim ulogama imao je Johna Cusacka i Minnie Driver.

Radnja filma odvija se nakon što plaćeni ubojica Martin Blank (Cusack) počne imati problema s koncentracijom na poslu, što rezultira neuspješnim zadatkom. Vraća se u svoj rodni grad, Grosse Pointe u Michiganu, na proslavu desete godišnjice mature.

Tamo susreće Debi Newberry (Minnie Driver), bivšu djevojku koju je ostavio na cjedilu za maturalnu večer. Martinova tajnica (Joan Cusack) dogovori mu novi zadatak dok je u gradu, ali Martin počinje preispitivati svoj život. U međuvremenu progoni ga nestabilni suparnički plaćeni ubojica Grocer (Dan Aykroyd).

“Goriš”: Adriana Ćaleta-Car pokazala hit haljinu sezone

Post author By admin

Post date June 14, 2025

No Comments on “Goriš”: Adriana Ćaleta-Car pokazala hit haljinu sezone

Pri kreiranju rubrike Index Shopping nastojimo izdvajati odlične proizvode koji se i nama sviđaju te odlične akcije i popuste. Ne objavljujemo proizvode koje i sami ne bismo kupili ili smatramo da njihova promocija nije u skladu s profesionalnim standardima. Neki proizvodi u rubrici Index Shopping mogu biti sponzorirani.

ADRIANA Ćaleta-Car podijelila je nekoliko fotografija iz Cannesa, a među kombinacijama koje je ondje nosila, najviše se istaknula bijela haljina. “Ola la”, “Lijepi moji”, “Predivno”, pisali su joj neki pratitelji, dok su joj drugi ostavljali emotikone sa srcima i vatre.

Vjeruje da se radi o maksi haljini skandinavskog brenda Toteme, komadu koji je trenutno pravi hit. Dizajnirana bez rukava, s tankim naramenicama, zamišljena je kao nenametljiv izbor za večernje prilike – iako je Adriana pokazala da odlično funkcionira i u dnevnom stajlingu.

Upečatljivi modni dodaci

Haljina je izrađena od kompaktnog rastezljivog jerseya. Gornji dio prati liniju tijela u stilu potkošulje, naglašava struk i bokove, a suknja do poda izrađena je od prozirnog materijala s nježnim plisiranim završetkom. Na službenoj stranici brenda gotovo je rasprodana, unatoč cijeni od 810 eura.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

Adriana ju je upotpunila upečatljivim modnim dodacima – zlatnim narukvicama, ogrlicama i satom, crnim sunčanim naočalama te sivom Hermès Birkin torbom. Look je zaokružila ravnim sandalama -iako se na fotografijama ne vidi jasno o kojem je modelu riječ, na jednoj od njih pokazala je natikače Christian Dior, pa je moguće da je nosila upravo njih.

Rezultat? Kombinacija trendi komada i bezvremenske klasike koja je oduševila mnoge.

F1 2025: Defending Champion Max Verstappen Defiant Despite Looming Suspension Threat at Canadian Grand Prix

Post author By admin

No Comments on F1 2025: Defending Champion Max Verstappen Defiant Despite Looming Suspension Threat at Canadian Grand Prix

Mumbai, June 14: Max Verstappen arrived at the Canadian Grand Prix a single point away from a one-race suspension following his collision with George Russell at the Spanish Grand Prix. The four-time reigning Formula 1 champion is adamant he will not change his driving style despite the warning hanging over him to be on his best behavior. His collision earned him three penalty points. Verstappen has a total of 11 penalty points over a rolling 12-month period, which puts him one point shy of the one-race ban. FIA and Formula One Announce Another 24-Round F1 2026 Season Starting With Australian Grand Prix.

“I will always race hard,” the Dutchman said in Montreal.

He will be in the clear after the Austrian Grand Prix at the end of the month when two points will drop off. Until then, he races in danger of suspension. Since the penalty system was introduced in 2014, only one driver has been suspended for reaching the 12-point limit — Kevin Magnussen, who missed last year’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

In 2012, Romain Grosjean was suspended one race for causing a multi-car pile-up at the start of the Belgian GP. At the time, he was the first driver banned for a race since Michael Schumacher in 1994. Verstappen is not concerned about becoming the third driver suspended and remained defiant he won’t change his approach.

“I cannot just back out of everything,” Verstappen said. “I’m just going to race like I always do. I trust myself.”

His approach has drawn criticism throughout his career as Verstappen has gone wheel-to-wheel with multiple drivers, including a tense 2021 in which he seemed to constantly be sparring with both Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris.

“What is not fair? I don’t worry about it. I just come here to race, and I will always race hard, race how I think I should always race, and then we go on to the next race,” he said while acknowledging a suspension would be “not ideal” for his struggling Red Bull team.

He said in Canada he was “not here to try and get a ban” and his racing style and penalty points is not that big of a deal to him and “maybe for you (the media), not for me. I don’t think about it.” Verstappen did take some accountability for his incident with Russell in Spain.

He wrote on social media the incident was “not right” and “shouldn’t have happened.” Russell, of Mercedes, was taken aback by Verstappen’s admission because it’s uncharacteristic of the single-minded driver.

“I was a bit surprised to see him taking responsibility, because it’s quite unlike him. I want to believe that he didn’t intentionally try and crash into me, because that would be pretty bonkers. I think he just tried to show who was boss and put his elbows out, and got it wrong,” Russell said.

The two saw each other earlier this week in an airport, Russell said, but did not discuss the incident. The crash allowed Russell to move up in the finishing order to fourth in Spain.

“There’s nothing from my side we need to talk about,” Russell said. “Had I been taken out of the race, I’d be feeling very differently, for sure. But ultimately his actions benefited me and cost him. I should say thanks.’”

His rivals were suspect of what Verstappen might do on the track considering how he’s raced many of them over the years.

“I don’t think anything really changes, because you don’t know what he’s going to do,” Norris said. “There’s no point trying to think of what to do differently. It’s the same as normal. I think he’s still going to fight. He’s further behind in the points. If anything, he’s going to fight more.

“There’s no point trying to assume things or to just guess. When you’re in a position of fighting him on the track, you can’t just think, Ah, he’s going to give me more space,’ and (then) he doesn’t, and then something happens.”

Verstappen has seemed to concede any chance of Red Bull reclaiming the constructors’ championship from McLaren, which unseated Red Bulk last year. And, he seems to be giving up on a fifth driver championship as he trails both McLaren drivers Oscar Piastri and Norris. Verstappen is 49 points behind leader Piastri and 39 points behind Norris. Piastri is not concerned with Verstappen on the track. F1 2025: Fernando Alonso Set To Be Only Aston Martin Car in Spanish Grand Prix As Lance Stroll Sits Out With Wrist Injury.

“I’ll just try and race how I always do. I think I normally try to race quite smart and keep myself out of trouble,” he said. “A good saying is that it’s often better to still be in the race than to prove that you were right in the situation. So I’ll try and keep that.”

Verstappen is the three-time defending Canadian GP winner. Verstappen, for his part, isn’t worried about his competitors goading him into a potential penalty.

“I’ll race how I want to race,” Verstappen said. “It’s not going to change anything.”

A middling mourning comedy that amuses in parts

Post author By admin

Post date June 14, 2025

No Comments on A middling mourning comedy that amuses in parts

S Vipin’s Vyasanasametham Bandhumithradhikal sets out to be a quirky funeral comedy soaked in situational humour and social satire. While it shows flashes of promise, it ultimately struggles to piece its many threads into a cohesive and impactful whole. The film tries to follow in the footsteps of other dark comedies that thrive on funeral-house chaos but struggles to string its gags into anything memorable. The film begins with a deliciously odd moment. One night, Savithriyamma (Mallika Sukumaran), a woman in her seventies, sees an obituary of a fellow septuagenarian woman she knows. She quietly clicks a picture of it and hands her phone to her granddaughter Anjali (Anaswara Rajan). The request? To make it her WhatsApp status. When a confused Anjali asks why, the reply is pure gold: “Makkalu koottukarude photo birthday kk okke status aakki idille? Athu pole thanne ithum.” Because, obviously, death is just a different kind of milestone. When asked if she wanted a flower emoji added, Savithriyamma ups the ante: “Randu love um koode itto.” The humour lands. That one moment, delivered with deadpan precision, encapsulates the film’s best quality, poking fun at how generational responses to grief have evolved in this digital age. The tone is set.

Director: S Vipin

Cast: Anaswara Rajan, Siju Sunny, Joemon Jyothir, Azees Nedumangad, Baiju Santhosh, Noby Marcose, Mallika Sukumaran

It soon introduces Murali (Azees Nedumangad), a mild-mannered shopkeeper who lives in his mother-in-law Savithriyamma’s house with his wife and daughter. Anjali is engaged to Akhil, a police officer with serious boundary issues and even less charm. Akhil’s idea of love is micromanaging Anjali’s phone calls, asking for screenshots of her call log, and basically being every girl’s cautionary tale. Complicating matters is Venu (Baiju Santhosh), a casteist local leader whose opinion Murali holds in undue regard. When Venu shares that a Muslim college mate named Suhail is uploading Anjali’s photos as WhatsApp statuses, Murali immediately suspects something inappropriate. Anjali insists Suhail is just a college senior who has been persistently stalking her. This subplot introduces Suhail (Siju Sunny) and his equally unhinged friend Shakthi (Joemon Jyothir), whose misadventures bring in some solid comic beats. When Savithriyamma suddenly dies of a heart attack, the story shifts into funeral mode and the ensuing chaos forms the rest of the film.

Gold soars, crude spikes, rupee dips, stocks fall as West Asia tensions tighten

No Comments on Gold soars, crude spikes, rupee dips, stocks fall as West Asia tensions tighten

The Sensex and Nifty posted weekly losses of 1.1-1.3 per cent.

Gold prices rose to record highs, crude spiked, rupee fell below 86 to the dollar and Indian government securities firmed up as escalating tensions between Iran and Israel kept investors jittery.

Israel’s overnight attacks on Iran, targeting its nuclear facilities, sent crude prices soaring over 14 per cent, the highest since January. Prices cooled off later, but were still up over 7 per cent, set for the biggest daily rise since March 2022.

Israel continued with a fresh wave of attacks even as US President Donald Trump urged Iran to agree to a deal with respect to its nuclear weapons programme. He warned of more brutal attacks by Israel.

Indian equities extended their losing streak for the second consecutive session on Friday, with the Sensex plunging 573.38 points or 0.70 per cent to close at 81,118.60, and the Nifty 50 dropped 169.60 points or 0.68 per cent to 24,718.60. Both the indices posted weekly losses of 1.1-1.3 per cent.

In the domestic spot market, gold prices rallied by ₹1,603 per 10 grams or two per cent on Friday to a new high of Rs 99,058, as investors turned to the traditional safe haven asset. On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold for August delivery breached the ₹1 lakh per 10 gm mark to touch a fresh high of ₹1,00,403 per 10 grams. However, it ended the first session at ₹98,392 for August futures.

Globally, gold is trading within striking distance of the record $3,500.10 an ounce seen in April.

“The initial reaction was largely driven by a sharp rise in crude oil prices due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. However, a moderation in CPI inflation helped limit the downside,” said Ajit Mishra, Senior Vice-President Research at Religare Broking.

Rupee tumbles as crude oil prices spike up

The Rupee came under pressure, posting its biggest single day fall in more than month to close below 86 to the Dollar mark, as crude oil prices spiked in the wake of Israel launching a barrage of attacks on Iran’s nuclear and military facilities. Central bank intervention, however, pulled the Rupee up from the intraday low of 86.20 per Dollar.

Rising crude prices will make crude oil imports costly, which in turn will have a depreciating effect on the Rupee. India’s crude oil import dependency is to the tune of 90 per cent.

Yield on the new 10-year benchmark Government Security rose 2 basis points to close at 6.30 per cent from previous close of 6.28 per cent on concerns that spike in global crude oil prices could have an inflationary effect on the economy.

The Dow fell more than 495 points in early trades and the S&P declined around 1 per cent.

Israel attacked nuclear sites in Iran, its missile factories and also killed several commanders in its efforts to prevent Tehran from developing atomic weapons. Tehran has declared Israel’s strikes on its facilities as a declaration of war, while Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the US was aware of the attacks.

According to report by Reuters, Iran told the United Nations Security Council in a letter that that it will respond decisively and proportionally to Israel’s “unlawful” and “cowardly” acts. The UNSC is due to meet later on Friday.

It also quoted Iran’s Nournews as saying that 78 people had been killed and 329 injured in Israeli attacks on residential areas in Tehran.

Grand Central Market, an embodiment of immigrant L.A., confronts new climate of fear

Post author By admin

Post date June 14, 2025

No Comments on Grand Central Market, an embodiment of immigrant L.A., confronts new climate of fear

Most weekdays the foot traffic and the din of business are constant in Grand Central Market, a food hall and staple of downtown’s historic core since 1917. In a way, the market, with its oldest stalls ranging from Mexican to Chinese to Salvadoran cuisines, is an embodiment of the immigrant experience in Los Angeles.

But this week, even at what are typically its peak hours, tables sat empty. The legendary market, like so many other restaurants and businesses across downtown, is losing business due to Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids and the neighborhood’s anti-ICE protests.

On Thursday afternoon, Martha Luna stood helping scant guests from beneath the iconic red neon signage at China Cafe, where she’s been a server for more than 40 years. Founded in 1959, it is one of the oldest legacy vendors in Grand Central Market.

(Stephanie Breijo / Los Angeles Times)

“The last few days, it’s been crazy,” she said from behind the red counter. “Everybody’s afraid, you know? When they come, they’re just talking about [how] they’re afraid to go out. Even if they go to the market or eat, they’re so afraid, even my boss.”

Throughout the last week, she said, she’s seen one to three of her regulars each day, with only one or two guests seated at the counter at any given time.

In the daytime, downtown office workers line the squat wraparound counter. In the evenings, Luna said, the clientele are mostly tourists. Since 1959, they’ve come for Chinese American classics such as sweet and sour chicken, barbecued pork chow mein, egg rolls, chop suey and shrimp fried rice.

Some of the newer, flashier vendors also noted a dramatic drop in business.

Share via

“We are typically one of the vendors that stays very, very busy throughout the entire week and day,” said Amy Recinos at Villa’s Tacos. It’s not uncommon to see lines of customers stretching the length of the counter as they wait for charred meats on a layer of crispy cheese and fresh blue corn tortillas.

Typically the taqueria — one of the L.A. Times’ 101 Best Restaurants in Los Angeles — sees a “huge” lunch rush at the market from noon to 2 p.m. But this week Villa’s is closing early due to lack of business.

Recinos spoke with some of the restaurant’s regulars, most of whom work in the neighborhood and told her they’re working from home “to avoid the riots and to avoid the protests.”

On Sunday, the stand found most of its customers to be protesters, and Recinos expects that to be the case this weekend.

“To all of my Hispanic immigrants: I’m here for you, we see you,” she said. “I’m very lucky and blessed to be born here, but we support you, and hopefully this does calm down because it’s not easy to know or predict what’s gonna happen for families and kids. Just stay safe out there, and we’re here for you if you guys need a meal.”

Bella Aguirre sat on a stool at Sticky Rice’s counter, finishing her meal of pad kra pow. The aspiring costume designer came to the market with an out-of-town friend despite her father’s warning against the neighborhood’s dangers given the protests.

She said that on Thursday afternoon, she found it to be “pretty peaceful” — and that she’s looking forward to returning this weekend.

“I think it’s within our rights to protest,” she said. “And I’m looking forward to going to the Saturday protests because I think it’s going to be a bigger outpouring of people. I think I feel safe going.”

Grand Central Market, she said, seemed slow in comparison with her previous visits.

Nearby, at the stall of lauded smashburger spot For the Win, a yellow, hand-written sign read, “Due to current events, we will be closing early.”

Sitting on the patio with a laptop and a cup of green juice, Sonya Mendoza noted the dearth of customers she regularly sees at the market. From noon to 3 p.m., she said, there’s always a lunch rush. On Thursday, only a handful of customers passed by or filled the nearby tables.

Mendoza’s work centers her in downtown and Echo Park on weekdays, and she lives less than one mile from the landmark food hall. She’s found the desolation isn’t limited to Grand Central Market.

“There’s not a street vendor in sight,” Mendoza said. “I haven’t seen any street vendors in the past three days, which is mind boggling to me because I live in Echo Park and they’re everywhere there usually.”

In a corner seat at Lucky Bird’s counter, Froi Cruz sat enjoying his break from managing the fried chicken stall. He’s worked at the restaurant for five years and said that business is depleted now.

Customers have gradually decreased throughout the week. Due to the curfew and the slowing of business, Lucky Bird has been closing around 5 p.m., two hours earlier than unusal on weekdays. This weekend it might not make it to its usual hours of 9 p.m., either.

Much of Lucky Bird’s clientele are office workers who place orders for fried chicken sandwiches, tenders, wings and sides like cheddar jalapeño biscuits. That business trickled to a fraction of its former volume this week.

“I feel like people are just scared to come out,” Cruz said.

Across the aisle, Jose Marroquin at Shiku echoed these sentiments. “It’s very slow,” he said. “No people, nothing.”

At the end of the block, a decadelong vendor of Grand Central Market found its own brick-and-mortar location and is, like its former food-hall brethren, greatly affected by the week’s loss of business.

Lydia Clarke, one of the owners of DTLA Cheese Superette.

DTLA Cheese Superette relies heavily on nearby offices for lunch orders of sandwiches, salads and charcuterie boards. Co-owner and cheesemonger Lydia Clarke said that all of their catering orders were canceled this week, which is difficult to offset. On Sunday, Clarke and her partner, chef Reed Herrick, served a number of protesters. On Monday, they noted “an immediate halt” to business.

She called the lack of customers “brutal” and wondered how DTLA Cheese Superette or its adjacent bar, Kippered, will weather the curfews and the neighborhood’s remote work due to the anti-ICE protests.

As a longtime resident of downtown herself, Clarke sees aiding protesters as serving her community — and hopes to continue to do so as long as she can.

“We feed a lot of people that have been walking the pavement, and it’s great to hear the story and feel supported in that way: to serve a nourishing meal of support [for] our community and the causes,” Clarke said, tearing up. “With this cause it just feels so personal to so many [in the] industry, of our food sources, of our workforce. I don’t have the fear of being taken, so I feel heartbroken for these families. It is an honor to be able to still stand here and have our doors open and have a place for people to come.”

Times staff writers Lauren Ng and Karla Marie Sanford contributed to this report.

Airline travelers need to know how hackers are using airport USB ports to steal info

No Comments on Airline travelers need to know how hackers are using airport USB ports to steal info

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Flight passengers need to know about a new way hackers can access personal information.

In a public statement posted to Facebook, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) warned that just simply plugging your phone into USB ports for a charge while sitting in the airport can be a cybersecurity risk. (See the video at the top of this article.)

“In this technology age, cybersecurity has never been more important,” TSA wrote in the post.

AIRLINE PASSENGER SHOCKED WHEN AGENT REJECTS CHECKED BAG FOR ‘BIZARRE’ REASON

“Hackers can install malware at USB ports (we’ve been told that’s called ‘juice/port jacking’).”

It continued, “So, when you’re at an airport, do not plug your phone directly into a USB port.”

The TSA is warning travelers not to plug their phones directly into USB ports at airports (as shown above). (iStock)

The agency instead suggested bringing a TSA-compliant power brick or battery pack to charge your devices.

TSA also reminded travelers not to use free public Wi-Fi, especially when planning to make online purchases.

“Do not ever enter any sensitive info while using unsecure Wi-Fi,” the agency warned.

In an appearance on “Fox & Friends” earlier this week, Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson revealed that the issue with USB “juice jacking” in airports has grown.

“Criminals tamper with the popular USB charging ports that are located throughout the terminal when you’re at the airport,” a cyber expert said. (iStock)

“This is not new in terms of how they’re doing this,” Knutsson said.

“Criminals tamper with the popular USB charging ports that are located throughout the terminal when you’re at the airport, especially in the gate areas,” he said.

“What they do is – you plug your phone in, and they’ve got something in front of it that then installs malware on your phone while it’s charging. [And] you’ve got no idea.”

Plugging a charging block directly into an outlet is a safer option, said an expert. (iStock)

Once the malware is installed, the hackers will search for sensitive and personal information such as passwords, banking information and credit card numbers, said Knutsson.

Knutsson highly encouraged people not to plug the USB part of the phone charger into public ports, and instead to plug the charging block into an outlet.

24 Amazon Prime Perks You Might Not Be Using (2025)

No Comments on 24 Amazon Prime Perks You Might Not Be Using (2025)

It’s common knowledge that a Prime membership gets you free two-day shipping. But there are Amazon Prime perks that make the service more worthwhile—and considering the cost of a yearly membership, you’re doing yourself a disservice if you aren’t taking advantage of all of them. Below, we’ve listed some of the perks you should be using as an Amazon Prime member. Arguably, these incentives alone aren’t worth the cost of a membership, but chances are at least one of them will come in handy.

Amazon has had more than its fair share of debacles over the years. Still, there are more than 200 million Prime members around the world, with over 180 million members in the United States. Some sources report as many as 220 million members globally. If you’re one of them, these perks are worth checking out—especially during the retailer’s member-exclusive Prime Day sales events, which usually fall during July and October.

Table of Contents

Updated June 2025: We’ve ensured coverage is accurate, removing old benefits and adding new information on Alexa+ and fuel savings.

What’s Amazon Prime, and How Much Does It Cost?

Amazon Prime is a premium membership to Amazon.com. If you’re a brand-new member, you can try it free for 30 days. This trial automatically renews, so set a reminder on your phone to reassess and make sure you cancel, if that’s your plan.

Amazon Prime costs $139 per year. You can pay $15 per month instead, but that raises the cost of the membership to $180 per year. You’ll save more money by paying once. Eighteen- to 24-year-olds can get Prime for Young Adults (formerly Prime Student), which is $69 annually or $7 per month, and there’s a longer six-month free trial before you have to start paying.

Finally, some customers are eligible for Prime Access, a discounted Prime membership. If you verify that you receive qualifying SNAP benefits or other government assistance, you can get Amazon Prime for $7 per month.

Basic Amazon Prime Benefits

Prime members are eligible for free next-day shipping on millions of items and free two-day shipping on millions more. Depending on where you live, you may also be eligible for free same-day delivery or free Amazon Locker pickup. Other Amazon-owned stores also offer free shipping to Prime members, including ShopBop, Woot, and Zappos.

Prime members get free (and commercial-free) Prime Music streaming, which pulls playlists and podcasts from a selection of 100 million songs and serves them ad-free. Members are also eligible for discounted subscriptions to Amazon Music Unlimited, a separate pick-and-play service like Apple Music or Spotify that offers on-demand access to 70 million songs. Normally it costs $11 per month, but Prime members can get it for $10 monthly.

Prime Video is also included with your membership. There are some killer originals, like Fallout and The Boys in addition to other movies and shows. You can also stream sports on Prime Video, including NFL Thursday Night Football. Purchased separately, Prime Video costs $9 per month. Note that these plans are with commercials. If you’re a Prime member and you want to go ad-free, it’ll cost another $3 per month.

Prime Day

Finally, we’d be remiss if we didn’t talk about Amazon’s members-only event, Prime Day. The annual “holiday” has outperformed both Black Friday and Cyber Monday in years past, but not every Prime Day deal is actually a bargain. The WIRED Gear team always covers the event to make good deals easier to find—our coverage is unique in that we only write about deals on products we have personally tested and can verify are great buys rather than flooding our roundups with questionable random brands. This year, we anticipate that (like years past) Prime Day will arrive in the middle of July, with a secondary sale arriving in October. Early Prime Day deals are usually available in the days leading up to the sale, and we’ll be covering the best of the best deals.

Exclusive Deals

Even outside of Prime Day, Amazon Prime members are eligible for special members-only discounts. That might mean a few bucks off your portable charger purchase, a 20 percent–off coupon to use on cleaning supplies, or better prices on new Amazon devices. Individual discounts vary, but we see these sorts of promotions pretty frequently—and, as with Prime Day, not all of them are good.

Early-Access Lightning Deals

Both during and outside of special events like Prime Day and Black Friday, Prime members get early access to select Lightning Deals. You will be able to shop 30 minutes before other customers. Whether Lightning Deals are worth your money is another discussion entirely, but it’s a perk worth checking out.

Amazon Day

Overwhelmed by the sheer number of boxes at your door? (Honestly, as a product reviewer, same.) Amazon Day lets you schedule all of your deliveries to arrive on a certain day of the week. Rather than dealing with a box or two at a time on multiple days, you can get one package with all of your orders on whichever day you prefer. If you use Amazon Day, you aren’t locked in. That means if you’re ordering something you need quickly, you can still opt for the fastest shipping method. Amazon Day is a good way to cut back on cardboard (and your carbon footprint).

No-Rush Rewards

If you don’t need your order to arrive right away, sometimes at checkout you’ll see the option for free No-Rush Shipping. Usually, choosing No-Rush Shipping gets you a free $1 digital credit to use on things like ebooks, digital games, movies, and the like. The rewards sometimes expire after a certain duration. I’ve used No-Rush credits to get as much as $10 off digital games on release day. Since video game discounts are rare, especially right after release, this can be lucrative if you time it correctly (and don’t mind waiting for your purchases to arrive).

Alexa+

Prime members will get free access to Alexa+. Alexa+ is the new version of Amazon’s voice assistant. It uses generative AI and will cost $20 per month to non-Prime members when it leaves Early Access. Amazon says you’ll be able to talk naturally, phrase requests how you like, receive tailored recommendations based on your preferences, create bedtime stories, and more.

Grubhub+

Amazon Prime members get free access to Grubhub+, which includes free delivery on orders over $12, plus an assortment of Prime-exclusive discounts at various restaurants throughout the year.

Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods, and Amazon Grocery

Amazon Fresh lets you order groceries via Amazon and get them delivered to your door. It’s not available in all areas, but it is a different way to shop if you’re trying to avoid in-person trips. You also get a selection of products from Whole Foods available through Amazon Fresh. Somewhat confusingly, there are similarly named physical Amazon Fresh grocery stores in some cities. If you’re shopping at Whole Foods in person, you can scan the smartphone app to get an extra 10 percent off storewide sales, and there are other member-discounts available throughout the year.

There’s a separate Amazon Grocery subscription that costs $10 a month or $99 a year. If you have SNAP or EBT benefits, you can get 50 percent off. This subscription gets you unlimited free grocery delivery on orders over $35 or more from Whole Foods Market, Amazon Fresh, and local retailers.

Amazon Family

For families, Amazon Family is a good way to share benefits between multiple people. You can share membership perks with two adults, four teens (ages 13-17), and four children. Parents can use Amazon Household to approve teens’ orders or set up parental controls on kids’ content.

Amazon First Reads

Each month, Prime members can benefit from Amazon First Reads. You’ll get at least one Kindle book from the selection for free. Nonmembers can get their two books for $2 apiece. As a reminder, you can read Kindle books even if you don’t have a Kindle device, thanks to the free app available for phones and computers. We also have a buying guide to help you pick the right Kindle.

Prime Reading

In addition to First Reads, Prime members get access to tons of Kindle books via Prime Reading. There are more than a thousand items to choose from. Aside from books, you can access audiobooks and magazines, plus comics via Comixology.

Prime Gaming

Every month, Prime members are eligible for various rewards via Prime Gaming (formerly known as Twitch Prime). This includes in-game loot in a variety of popular games, free game downloads, free downloadable content (DLC) and expansions, and more. You also get a free Twitch subscription—which sounds like you can watch Twitch for free, but “Twitch subs” are actually subscriptions to individual Twitch streamers, and they normally cost money. With the free subscription you get from Amazon Prime, you can support channels you enjoy—creators make some money off the subscription, but it won’t cost you anything extra.

$10 off Game Preorders

This discount used to be much better, but it’s still worth looking into if you are in the market for a new video game. Occasionally, Prime members can receive $10 off when they preorder a game. Eligible titles show up here when they’re available. Some video games also have free Release Date Delivery—just look for that shipping option when preordering a game.

Unlimited Online Photo Storage

Prime members get access to unlimited full-resolution photo storage, and 5 gigabytes of video storage as well. You can store, print, and share photos using the Amazon Photos app and back everything up to the cloud. (Printing is done through Shutterfly, where Prime members get a 45 percent discount.) If your account ever loses Prime status, you’ll need to pay at least $2 per month to keep storing your photos and videos, so this shouldn’t be your primary backup method. You might want to consider using one of these options as well.

Discounted Amazon Kids+

Amazon Kids+ (formerly FreeTime Unlimited) is Amazon’s content service for kids. The service is compatible with several iOS, Android, and Amazon devices, like Fire Tablets. It essentially provides a bevy of parental controls while giving kiddos access to age-appropriate shows, books, games, and the like. Kids+ costs $8 per month, but Prime members can snag the subscription for $6 per month (or $79 and $48 per year, respectively).

Fuel Savings

By linking your Amazon Prime account to Earnify, a loyalty app owned by BP and Amoco, you can save at least 10 cents per gallon on fuel at over 7,500 participating gas stations locations.

Additional Perks for Specific Customers

Expecting a new addition to your family? Select Prime members can claim a free Baby Registry Welcome Box by creating a registry that has at least 10 unique items and $10 worth of purchases (by themselves or others). Learn more here.

Prime RX offers select customers discounts on prescription medication. It’s a prescription savings card that can be used at pharmacies nationwide, including Amazon Pharmacy. These savings programs are nothing new—one similar program is GoodRx—and one may argue that giving Amazon information about your medications adds another layer to privacy concerns. However, the benefit is free if you do decide to use it, and it may be worth checking out if you pay a lot out-of-pocket for prescription medication.

Amazon Key offers select Prime members in-garage delivery. If you live in an eligible area, and you’re interested, you’ll need to purchase and install a smart garage kit. Amazon Key previously offered in-home delivery, but it’s currently on pause. (Of course, this also comes with a slew of privacy concerns.)

There are three different Amazon credit cards. These come in the form of rewards back for Prime members on select purchases or at select retailers. You don’t need to get an Amazon credit card; we encourage you to read through all of the available information and carefully consider it before deciding whether or not to get one.

No Comments on Sedam moćnih namirnica koje usporavaju starenje i poboljšavaju elastičnost kože

STARENJE je neizbježno, no ono što jedemo može imati velik utjecaj na to kako starimo i iznutra i izvana. Hrana bogata određenim hranjivim tvarima može potaknuti proizvodnju kolagena, zaštititi elastin i poboljšati elastičnost kože, čime pomaže u očuvanju mladolikog izgleda. Iako ne postoji čarobna namirnica koja može zaustaviti starenje, neke od njih mogu znatno pridonijeti zdravlju i izgledu kože.

U nastavku donosimo sedam ukusnih i hranjivih namirnica koje djeluju iznutra i podržavaju zdravije starenje te čvršću, glatkiju i sjajniju kožu, prema savjetima stručnjaka koji su popis namirnica podijelili za SheFinds.

Borovnice

Borovnice su bogate antioksidansima, osobito vitaminom C i antocijaninima, koji neutraliziraju slobodne radikale odgovorne za oštećenje stanica i ubrzano starenje. Ove bobice podržavaju proizvodnju kolagena i pomažu u zaštiti kože od oštećenja uzrokovanih UV zračenjem. Zahvaljujući protuupalnom djelovanju, kožu održavaju smirenom, čistom i blistavom. Mogu se dodavati u smoothie napitke, jogurte ili jesti samostalno.

Brazilski oraščići

Ova vrsta orašastih plodova jedan je od najboljih prirodnih izvora selena, minerala koji štiti kožu od oksidacijskoga stresa, pomaže u očuvanju elastičnosti i sprječava preranu pojavu bora. Osim toga, brazilski oraščići bogati su zdravim mastima i vitaminom E, što dodatno doprinosi mekoj i hidratiziranoj koži.

Mrkva

Mrkva sadrži velike količine beta-karotena, biljnoga pigmenta koji se u tijelu pretvara u vitamin A, koji je ključan za obnovu stanica kože, prevenciju suhoće i zaštitu od oštećenja izazvanih suncem. Osim što je korisna za kožu, mrkva je i ukusna, a može se jesti sirova, kuhana, u juhama, salatama ili varivima.

Krastavci

Krastavci sadrže preko 90 posto vode, zbog čega su odlični za hidraciju organizma i kože. Uz to bogati su silicijem, mineralom koji potiče proizvodnju kolagena i čini kožu čvrstom i elastičnom. Također djeluju protuupalno i mogu pomoći u smanjenju natečenosti. Mogu se jesti sirovi, dodavati u salate ili vodu za dodatnu svježinu.

Tamna čokolada

Tamna čokolada s visokim udjelom kakaa (najmanje 70 posto) bogata je flavonoidima, antioksidansima koji poboljšavaju cirkulaciju kože, štite od UV zraka i pomažu u održavanju vlažnosti i glatkoće kože. Dakle, s vremena na vrijeme možete uživati u desertu koji vam koža neće zamjeriti.

Sjemenke šipka

Sjemenke šipka obiluju vitaminom C i polifenolima, moćnim antioksidansima koji smanjuju upale, potiču sintezu kolagena i štite stanice kože od štetnih utjecaja sunca i zagađenja. Osim što su ukusne, sjemenke šipka su i vizualno atraktivne te ih je lako dodati u zobene pahuljice, jogurt ili salatu.

Sjemenke bundeve

Male, ali iznimno hranjive, sjemenke bundeve sadrže cink, mineral ključan za obnovu kože, kontrolu lučenja sebuma i sintezu kolagena. Osim cinka sadrže i vitamin E te omega-3 masne kiseline koji kožu održavaju hidratiziranom i zdravom. Jednostavno ih je uključiti u prehranu kao međuobrok ili dodatak jelima.

Pope Leo XIV’s Fashion Choices Make Waves: Cufflinks, White Pants, Lace and More, Return of Traditional Styling to the Papal Wardrobe

Post author By admin

No Comments on Pope Leo XIV’s Fashion Choices Make Waves: Cufflinks, White Pants, Lace and More, Return of Traditional Styling to the Papal Wardrobe

Vatican City, June 13: When Pope Leo XIV stepped out on the central loggia of St. Peter’s Basilica to greet the crowd for the first time after his May 8 election, liturgical fashion aficionados around the globe took note: Gone was the simple white cassock and silver cross favoured by Pope Francis. Back was the red satin mozzetta shoulder cape, the burgundy stola with gold embroidery and a gold cross held by a double-stranded silken gold cord.

Over Leo’s first few weeks, the excitement grew among liturgical fashion-conscious Catholics as they noticed new additions to the wardrobe, or rather a return to the old additions of the papal wardrobe: cufflinks, white pants, lace. Pope Leo XIV Net Worth: Who Is Robert Prevost, the New Pontiff? How Much Will He Be Paid? Perks, Assets and More Explained.

After Francis’ revolutionary papacy, Vatican watchers are now wondering if Leo’s return to the past sartorial look means a return to the past on other things too, including more substantial policy issues. But for tailors at the elite handful of liturgical tailoring shops in Rome, there is hope that Leo’s return to the fancier garb of popes past will mean a boon to business if Leo’s traditional look has a trickle-down effect from the pope to priests and all those in between. Pope Leo XIV Vows To Work for Unity So Catholic Church Becomes Sign of Peace in World.

The Traditional Red Mozzetta Echoes Past Pontiffs

The Style Is a Return to Form

According to the Rev John Wauck, professor of church communication at the Pontifical Holy Cross University in Rome, Leo’s clothing choices are a “return to form,” and his attire similar to that worn by Pope Benedict XVI, Pope John Paul II and other popes going back to the middle ages.

Pope Leo XIV’s Debut Tour at St Peter’s Square

They show “a respect for tradition,” he said.

Such respect for the papal office is important for many conservative Catholics. Many conservatives and traditionalists soured on Francis’ informal style and disdain for tradition, which reached its pinnacle with his his crackdown on the old Latin Mass. The old liturgy was celebrated before the modernizing reforms of the 1960s Second Vatican Council; Francis greatly restricted access to the old liturgy, saying it had become a source of division in parishes.

Leo has shown strong familiarity with Latin, and has taken to singing the Sunday noontime prayer in Latin. Some traditionalist Catholics are hoping Leo will take the pro-Latin path even further and reverse Francis to allow greater use of the traditional Latin Mass.

Massimo Faggioli, professor of theology at Villanova University, where Leo went to college, said it’s too early to tell if Leo will reverse Francis’ reform.

“It remains to be seen if Leo’s more traditional attire and liturgical style means that he will change Francis’ strong decisions limiting the so-called Latin Mass,'” he said.

That said, Faggioli said US conservatives seems particularly happy with Leo’s traditional attire, given Francis’ disdain for the fashion pomp of the papacy.

“In this sense, Francis might have been a parenthesis or an interlude, more than a changer of the tradition in papal style,’” he said in an email.

Leo has made other changes, too

At his inaugural Mass on May 18, 2025, Pope Leo XIV reached out his arm to sprinkle holy water and revealed a shirt with cufflinks, which Francis had largely avoided. He was also wearing an amitto, and an alb held in place by a cingulum. For the non-experts, the amitto is a lacy linen cloth that goes around the neck, the alb is the white tunic worn under the ceremonial vestment, and the cingulum is a braided rope with tassels that serves as a belt.

Sovereign of the Vatican City State

If it weren’t for photographers’ long lenses relentlessly trained on the pope’s every gesture, Leo’s switch from Francis’s standard black pants to more traditional white papal trousers would have gone completely unnoticed.

In addition to the clothing changes, Leo has returned to some other traditions of the Vatican that Francis eschewed.

He has shown himself willing to accept the traditional “baciamano” or kissing of his ring. Francis disliked having his ring kissed and often pulled his hand away if someone tried to kiss it.

“I think that what we see with Pope Leo is a willingness to embrace tradition, even if it risks seeming perhaps more formal than Pope Francis,” Wauck said.

The idea is that “seeing that tradition as a treasure to be conserved and embraced as opposed to something that makes one feel perhaps a little bit standoffish.”

It remains to be seen whether Leo will move into the papal apartment in the Apostolic Palace, which stood empty during the 12-year Francis papacy. Francis shocked the world by choosing to live in a small room at the Santa Marta residence at the Vatican, eating his meals in the common dining room.

For the Rev. Castro Prudencio, this is all much ado about nothing. “For Pope Francis it was simplicity. Always. And Pope Leo has taken up what Pope Benedict had and many others. That is what the church is like,” he said. (AP)

Chris Evans podijelio koje su mu omiljene romantične komedije. Izdvojio neke klasike

Post author By admin

Post date June 13, 2025

No Comments on Chris Evans podijelio koje su mu omiljene romantične komedije. Izdvojio neke klasike

CHRIS EVANS mnogima je najpoznatiji po ulozi Kapetana Amerike u Marvelovim filmovima, ali sam je glumio i u nekoliko romantičnih komedija, a od nedavno se u brojnim kinima može pogledati najnoviji rom-com u kojem glumi – film Materialists u kojem nastupa uz Dakotu Johnson i Pedra Pascala.

U jednom intervjuu za Entertainment Weekly glumca su pitali da izdvoji omiljene filmove iz ovog žanra, a podijelio je neke od klasika koje mnogi obožavaju. Na njegovom popisu nalaze se filmovi Ja u ljubav vjerujem (Notting Hill), Kad je Harry sreo Sally (When Harry Met Sally…), Romansa u Seattleu (Sleepless in Seattle) i Plaćenik (Grosse Pointe Blank).

Za Plaćenika, koji se smatra crnom komedijom, Chris Evans je komentirao: “To je na neki način romantična komedija. Gotovo kao njezina nadograđena verzija. Scenarij i gluma su fantastični.” Na popisu Chrisa Evansa nalaze se svi poznati filmovi, pa se podsjetimo ukratko svakog od njih.

Ja u ljubav vjerujem

Romantična komedija Rogera Michella iz 1999. godine u glavnim ulogama ima Juliju Roberts i Hugha Granta. Radnja prati Williama Thackera (Grant) kao vlasnika knjižare u Londonu čiji se dosadni život pretvara u romantičnu zbrku kada u njegovu trgovinu uđe slavna američka glumica Anna Scott (Roberts).

Slučajni susret zbog prolivenog soka od naranče dovodi do poljupca koji se razvija u pravu ljubavnu vezu. Kako se prosječni momak i glamurozna filmska zvijezda sve više zbližavaju, pokušavaju uskladiti svoje potpuno različite stilove života u ime ljubavi.

Kad je Harry sreo Sally

Jedan od najpoznatijih romantičnih filmova redatelja Roba Reinera iz 1989. godine u glavnim ulogama imao je zvijezde Meg Ryan i Billyja Crystala. Ova poznata romantična priča počinje 1977. godine kada su netom diplomirani Harry Burns (Crystal) i Sally Albright (Ryan) zajedno putovali automobilom od Chicaga do New Yorka. Tijekom svog putovanja raspravljaju o tome mogu li muškarci i žene ikada biti isključivo platonski prijatelji.

Deset godina kasnije Harry i Sally ponovno se susreću u knjižari te, u društvu svojih najboljih prijatelja Jessa (Bruno Kirby) i Marie (Carrie Fisher), pokušavaju ostati prijatelji bez da seks postane problem među njima.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

Romansa u Seattleu

Romansa u Seattleu redateljice Nore Ephron bila je jedan od komercijski najuspješnijih filmova devedesetih godina prošlog stoljeća. Glavne uloge tumačili su Tom Hanks i Meg Ryan, a priča je pratila Sama Baldwina (Hanks) koji se nakon smrti supruge seli sa sinom Jonahom u Seattle.

Kada Jonah nazove radijsku emisiju kako bi pronašao novu ženu za svog oca, Sam nevoljko pristaje razgovarati o svojim osjećajima na liniji. Annie Reed (Ryan), novinarka iz Baltimora, čuje njegov govor i zaljubi se u njega, iako je zaručena. Nesigurna kamo će je to odvesti, piše Samu pismo u kojem ga poziva da se na Valentinovo sastanu na Empire State Buildingu.

Plaćenik

Plaćenik redatelja Georgea Armitaga iz 1997. godine zapravo nije opisan kao romantična komedija, ali se svejedno nalazi na popisu slavnog glumca. Ovaj film u glavnim ulogama imao je Johna Cusacka i Minnie Driver.

Radnja filma odvija se nakon što plaćeni ubojica Martin Blank (Cusack) počne imati problema s koncentracijom na poslu, što rezultira neuspješnim zadatkom. Vraća se u svoj rodni grad, Grosse Pointe u Michiganu, na proslavu desete godišnjice mature.

Tamo susreće Debi Newberry (Minnie Driver), bivšu djevojku koju je ostavio na cjedilu za maturalnu večer. Martinova tajnica (Joan Cusack) dogovori mu novi zadatak dok je u gradu, ali Martin počinje preispitivati svoj život. U međuvremenu progoni ga nestabilni suparnički plaćeni ubojica Grocer (Dan Aykroyd).

Mirisi koji su osvojili “parfemske Oscare”: Pogledajte popis najboljih

No Comments on Mirisi koji su osvojili “parfemske Oscare”: Pogledajte popis najboljih

Pri kreiranju rubrike Index Shopping nastojimo izdvajati odlične proizvode koji se i nama sviđaju te odlične akcije i popuste. Ne objavljujemo proizvode koje i sami ne bismo kupili ili smatramo da njihova promocija nije u skladu s profesionalnim standardima. Neki proizvodi u rubrici Index Shopping mogu biti sponzorirani.

FRAGRANCE Foundation Awards (koje često nazivaju i parfemski Oscari) jedne su od najpoznatijih i najprestižnijih nagrada u parfemskoj industriji. Dodjeljuju se od 1973. godine u SAD-u, a organizira ih The Fragrance Foundation – globalna neprofitna udruga koja okuplja brendove, kreatore mirisa, dizajnere bočica, trgovce i ostale profesionalce iz svijeta parfema.

Posljednja dodjela održana je početkom ovoga mjeseca, 5. lipnja, u kazalištu David H. Koch u njujorškom Lincoln Centeru. Ova glamurozna večer, prepuna slavnih uzvanika, proslavila je izvrsnost i inovacije u američkoj parfemskoj industriji kroz čak 19 kategorija – od vrhunski izrađenih mirisa do najkreativnijeg pakiranja.

Mitchell Starc-Josh Hazlewood Stitch Record-Breaking 10th Wicket Partnership in ICC Men’s Final During SA vs AUS ICC WTC 2025 Summit Clash

No Comments on Mitchell Starc-Josh Hazlewood Stitch Record-Breaking 10th Wicket Partnership in ICC Men’s Final During SA vs AUS ICC WTC 2025 Summit Clash

London [UK], June 13: The Australian pair of Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood made history on Friday, putting on the joint-highest-ever 10th-wicket partnership in an ICC tournament knockout match. Starc, Hazlewood achieved this feat during the ICC World Test Championship final against South Africa on Friday. Coming into day three at 144/8, Australia lost Nathan Lyon early, but Starc struck a historic half-century, the first one by a batter number nine or below in an ICC tournament knockout match, while Hazlewood’s solid defence helped his partner accumulate runs. They both put on 59 runs for the final wicket, enabling the Aussies to set a 282-run target for the Proteas.

They have now joined the New Zealand pair of Jeetan Patel and James Franklin, who took NZ from 149/9 to 208 all out during an unsuccessful run-chase of 290 against Sri Lanka in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 semifinal.

Coming to the match, after Australia was put to bat first by SA, they sank to 67/4 at the end of the first session. A 79-run stand between Steve Smith (66 in 112 balls, with 10 fours) and Beau Webster (72 in 92 balls, with 11 fours) and Webster’s 46-run stand with Alex Carey (23 in 31 balls, with four boundaries) pushed Australia near to 200-run mark.

But Kagiso Rabada (5/51) and Marco Jansen (3/49) continued applying pressure, reducing the Aussies to 212.SA had an even nightmarish start, losing four wickets for 43 runs at the end of day’s play, with none of their batters touching the 20-run mark. On day two, South Africa started with better intent with the bat, as skipper Temba Bavuma (36 in 84 balls, with four boundaries and a six) and David Bedingham (45 in 111 balls, with six fours) put on a half-century partnership to start off the day.

However, skipper Pat Cummins (6/28) delivered historic bowling figures, triggering another collapse that bundled out the Proteas for just 138 runs. SA trailed by 74 runs. During Australia’s second innings, Proteas’ pace took the spotlight once again, sinking Aussies to 73/7. However, Alex Carey (43 in 50 balls, with five fours) put in a 61-run stand with Starc to finish off day two at 144/8.

On day three, Proteas removed Nathan Lyon early, but Starc and Hazlewood (17 in 53 balls, with two fours) frustrated Proteas with a 59-run stand. Australia was finally bundled out for 207, giving the Proteas a target of 282 runs to win the ICC WTC mace. Rabada (4/59) and Lungi Ngidi (3/38) shone with the ball for South Africa, with Wiaan Mulder, Marco Jansen and Aiden Markram getting a wicket each.

No Comments on Tamil cinema celebrities express grief over the Ahmedabad plane crash incident

The devastating crash of Air India flight AI 171, which killed 242 people on board in Ahmedabad on Thursday, has engulfed the nation in grief and sorrow.

Even as the airlines scrambles to understand the reason behind the tragedy, several people, including celebrities, condoled the untimely demise of the victims and extended support to their families.

Actors Kamal Haasan, Ravi Mohan, Vishnu Vishal, Simran and many others took to their social media handles to express their shock and deep sadness for the bereaved families.Kamal Haasan wrote that the incident has ‘left the nation stunned in sorrow’.

Broker’s Call: Repco Homes (Buy)

Post date June 13, 2025

No Comments on Broker’s Call: Repco Homes (Buy)

Target: ₹560

CMP: ₹423.80

We interacted with Repco Home Finance’s management to understand the drivers of loan growth acceleration, factors which will influence portfolio spread/NIM and actions taken to consistently reduce the overdue portfolio and NPLs.

The management was quite confident about achieving the guided disbursements of ₹40,000 crore in the current year and reaching 12 per cent loan book growth, managing spread decline within 15-20 bps, and improving GNPL ratio to 2.5 per cent by the year-end. Repco trades at an undemanding valuation of 6x P/E and 0.7x P/BV on FY27 estimates, and acceleration of loan growth and further improvement in asset quality should re-rate the stock. We have a BUY rating with a target price of ₹560.

Foundational levers for growth have been put in place by the management over the past 18-20 months. Business productivity has started yielding results — in strong disbursements numbers of Q4 FY25 (grew 28 per cent q-o-q). In the coming quarters, the execution run-rate should materially improve (on y-o-y basis).

The company’s focus has also increased on higher-ticket home loans but with traditionally targeted customer segment/credit profile. Repco’s board and the management is aligned on delivering an improved growth with strong credit quality. Repco has demonstrated a substantial improvement in GNPL level over the past three years without any meaningful write-offs. The overall Stage-2 portfolio of Repco has also seen a reduction from 13.6 per cent as of FY23 to 9.7 per cent as of FY25, and it targeted to decline to 7.5 per cent by FY26-end.

Pasjoli reopens after temporary closure. Will it be your new favorite neighborhood restaurant?

Post author By admin

Post date June 13, 2025

No Comments on Pasjoli reopens after temporary closure. Will it be your new favorite neighborhood restaurant?

Prince changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol. Snoop Dogg went by Snoop Lion for a time, and briefly Snoopzilla.

Shifting your brand as an artist can be a welcome, and sometimes predictable, step in a career that spans a lifetime. But what happens when a well-established, award-winning restaurant decides to rebrand itself as a casual neighborhood bistro? And attempts to do it in just two weeks? It’s a challenge Dave Beran and his staff at Pasjoli restaurant just attempted — and completed — in time to reopen tonight.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how they did it, step by step.

24 days before reopening

Dave Beran is balancing a baby in one arm and a laptop in the other. His toddler is asking for cereal.

The chef is on a Zoom call to discuss the future of Pasjoli, the Santa Monica French restaurant best known for Beran’s reimagined French classics, and most notably, his whole pressed duck. Ann Hsing, chief executive and chief operating officer of Beran’s restaurants, and investor Michael Simkin, a film and TV producer, are also on the call.

“I’m astonished that people set things on fire at our bar, but apparently they do,” says Beran.

The team is discussing menu placement on the table. Should they put a candle on the table to illuminate the menu? Maybe they can use a wire hanger to leave the menu hanging? Should servers bring over a small menu board?

The specifics of a menu presentation may seem like a trivial detail when considering the overall experience at a restaurant. But for Beran and his team, it’s a first impression, and the first step in recalibrating diners’ assumptions about what Pasjoli is, and what the new Pasjoli could be.

Beran, the former executive chef at Next in Chicago, established himself as a fine-dining chef in Los Angeles with the 2017 opening of Dialogue, a thrilling, 18-seat tasting menu restaurant. In 2019, he followed with Pasjoli, a destination-worthy French restaurant that offered a showstopping tableside pressed duck presentation, thon et tomate and a shower of truffles over foie de poulet à la Strasbourgeoise.

When he reviewed the restaurant in late 2019, critic Bill Addison called Pasjoli “a return to grand French dining in L.A.”

Then the pandemic happened, and the restaurant underwent a series of changes, shifting to takeout, then to in-person dining again. Dialogue closed. Pasjoli started offering more casual bistro fare and an expanded bar menu. Most recently there was a prix fixe menu.

But somehow, despite adjustments, the restaurant couldn’t quite shake its original “grand” identity.

“Dave is Dave,” says Hsing. “He comes from a very high-caliber restaurant resume. When we opened, to us, it was a version of casual. Meanwhile, the rest of L.A. was saying this is one of the fanciest restaurants in L.A.”

In December, Beran opened Seline, a $295 per person tasting menu restaurant down the street, further solidifying himself as a fine-dining chef. Though the restaurant recently introduced a limited eight-course, $165 tasting menu. And Beran is determined to bring an air of fun to Pasjoli.

“Start the night at the bar with a few people and just saber a bottle of Champagne,” he suggests as an opening image.

Yes, he’s talking about the celebratory practice of opening a bottle of Champagne by striking the seam of the bottle with a sword.

Or maybe batch cocktails? Frozen martinis? It would cut down on labor, the drinks will come out faster, allowing them to lower the cost of each drink by around $2 and provide a more consistent experience for guests.

“We had this idea, whether it’s tableside or at the bar, having some sort of punch-esque scenario, partially for cost but also, it’s aesthetically interesting,“ Beran says. “We’re looking into absinthe towers.”

19 days to reopening

Beran and chef Jack Joyce are in the kitchen at Pasjoli, inspecting a tomato salad.

“It looks too fancy,” Hsing declares.

“It’s literally chunks of tomato and arugula and radish,” Beran counters.

The bowl in question is a bowl of frill lettuce, a cross between iceberg lettuce and curly endive that lives up to its name. Over the top are hunks of tomato covered in delicate shaved radish. The bowl has a scalloped edge with a rim of gold.

The staff are deep into the research and development phase of the menu, with Joyce and Beran preparing a handful of dishes for feedback from Hsing, general manager Hayley Sedlock and head of people (yes, that is her title) Keely Obbards.

Joyce emerges from the kitchen carrying a whole, fried maitake mushroom. “It’s a Bloomin’ maitake mushroom,” he says. “With ranch.”

Next up is a caramelized leek tart over a smear of hollandaise sauce. The tart is painted in a white wine reduction and finished with a smattering of smoked trout roe.

“I want more leeks,” offers Hsing.

“Hollandaise makes me think of brunch,” says Obbards.

Joyce looks mildly miffed but determined, and heads back into the kitchen.

Hsing attempts to break down the pricing. While the check average at Pasjoli may not be as high as some of the other restaurants in town, there is a perception, however misguided, that French is synonymous with fancy. A few lower-priced items on the menu could go a long way in changing that perception.

“For me, there are two large buckets of cost to control, it’s food and labor,” she says. “Say you have this item like a tomato that is on the cheaper side, but it takes three different people over the course of a week to do something with it to produce the final product, then it’s a much more expensive item on the menu than the food cost is reflecting. Our stocks and sauces here take three to four days.”

There’s a range of prices Hsing is aiming to hit, with a group of courses in the $10 to $20 range, another in the $20 to $35 area and plates viewed as entrees in the $40 range. A few larger-format dishes or things designed to be shared by the entire table will be priced at $150 or higher. And the desserts, with the exception of the chocolate soufflé, will be under $20.

“I know people think we are really expensive. We want to make sure you feel like the amount of money you pay when you’re done feels like it was worth it, whether that be from a food side or service side or the overall experience,” Hsing says.

The dining room is starting to show signs of a facelift, with lush plants punctuating the room. The art on the walls is being reconsidered. The front will be repainted.

Beran returns from the kitchen with two small white porcelain bowls of soup, each with a cap of melted cheese. The French onion souplettes are miniature bowls of the classic soup, made with Provolone for a top layer that browns and bubbles, Gruyère for flavor and mozzarella for the cheese pull texture.

“It’s literally a French onion soup but super small,” he says. He digs a spoon into each soup. “Already it looks like the bread absorbed all the liquid. Should I put more fat? Butter cubes? Traditionally it’s veal stock. Do you care that they are vegetarian?”

“For L.A., it’s probably better that it’s vegetarian,” says Sedlock.

The bar program is another sticking point for Beran, who wants the bar area to become a place where people can casually stop in for a drink after work. He’s doing away with the restaurant’s opening rule of exclusively carrying French spirits. And he’s building a small bar top up against the front window of the restaurant, creating an area where people can sip a drink and people-watch on Main Street.

Bar manager Tom Sullivan brings a few cocktails over to the table of managers. One is a gin drink with a tiny, yellow ice cube in the shape of a ducky sitting in the glass. The other is what Beran likes to call a “fluffy” drink, made by swapping in meringue for simple syrup, creating a layer of fluff atop the cocktail.

14 days from reopening

We’re back to discussing the table menu. And the place setting. The team has decided to present guests with narrow menus that fit neatly into a square gold placeholder Beran previously used to serve chips at Dialogue. Tables will be pre-set, with a stack of plates and roll ups, the term for napkins rolled around a set of silverware. Approachable. Easy.

Hsing brings up a copy of the working menu to discuss with the team. Every detail, from the name of a dish to where it is listed to the description, is debated.

The new interior of Pasjoli, and the new table settings.

(Catherine Dzilenski / For The Times)

Do they want to rename the chicken liver? Call it a mousse so people don’t expect a plate of sautéed chicken livers?

What should the beef tartare come with? Chips are too much labor. Maybe a chunk of baguette. Do they need to explain the French onion souplette? Should the mussels come with fries or should people order the fries separately? Which one feels more approachable? More like an entree?

The pressed duck will return to its original tableside presentation. Most recently, it was relegated to one an evening, at a table in front of the kitchen. When the restaurant reopens, the duck will be available with updated accouterments in limited quantities, with a deposit required for the reservation.

Hsing grabs a stack of cards from the office printer and presents them to Beran and the other managers. The team is testing prototypes for a cocktail card that will allow guests to customize a cocktail.

“We know the food is awesome, but what can we do to make it fun and interactive?” she says. “This could totally bomb. We’ll find out.”

6 days from opening. First night of friends and family.

It’s three hours before the doors open for friends and family, the first night of practice service for the staff. The team has invited investors and other guests for a dress rehearsal of sorts, with the restaurant serving guests a free dinner while they work out any kinks in the dining room or kitchen.

Pasjoli already feels like a different space, with four new seats along the front window. Two additional seats were added to the main bar. The big table that sat at the front of the open kitchen is gone, leaving no barrier between diners and the chefs. The chandeliers are gone.

In the kitchen, Joyce and the team are stuffing half-chickens into bags to poach with pats of butter. Later, they will be seared and then roasted to order. Another chef is prepping Fresno chiles for a hot sauce. Tomatoes are being sliced. Shallots brunoised.

(Catherine Dzilenski / For The Times)

In total, the kitchen will prepare 28 orders of roast chicken, 40 French onion souplettes, 30 orders of Cordon bleu chicken wings, 20 cheeseburgers, 30 plates of halibut crudo (made by breaking down a 10-pound fish) and two rock fish for the evening.

Beran has decided to promote Joyce to chef de cuisine. “Jack really stepped up and the goal is for me to play editor,” he says.

At 3:30 p.m. sharp, the staff sit down for family meal. Big bags of hot chicken from Main Chick are emptied and transformed into a buffet table for the staff.

At 4:15 p.m. Sedlock gathers the servers for a pre-shift meeting. “How are we feeling?”

She’s met with an enthusiastic “Wooooo.”

Sedlock instructs the servers to let people order, then make suggestions based on the amount of food. The goal is to see how people naturally respond to the menu, and to pick up on any patterns or feedback.

The Pasjoli team prepares for a night of friends and family service before the official reopening of the restaurant.

(Catherine Dzilenski / For The Times)

Wine will be poured at the table. To practice pouring five-ounce glasses, servers will weigh the bottle at a station, pour the glass, then re-weigh the bottle to see how they did. By the end of the evening, the five ounce pour should be a matter of muscle memory.

“Really utilize the information you get tonight. Pay attention to how people order,” Sedlock says.

The clean plates, or remnants left of a dish, will be a clue to the kitchen for what dishes worked, and which might need tweaking. It can also offer insight into portion size and how much people should order.

Then Sedlock turns to Beran and asks if he has anything final to add.

“We are rebuilding our identity, and the only way to do that is start at zero and go,” he says. “You make a mistake, start over. Let’s just do it. We’ll do it right.”

A few moments later, a host moves to unlock the door.

The crop of servers watching her yell together — “Doors!” — and with that, the first customers shuffle in.

4 days from reopening. Last time to practice.

(Catherine Dzilenski / For The Times)

The facade of Pasjoli looks bright in the late afternoon sun, the moody dark blue now replaced by a cheery turquoise called Deep Lagoon.

The dining room is full at 5:45 p.m., with patrons elbow to elbow at the bar. The word bustling comes to mind, a feeling not easily achieved with the constraints of the restaurant’s former layout. Now, every corner of the room feels alive, brimming people chatting and sipping cocktails.

The menu is shorter, and yes, more approachable than the original, with deviled eggs ($12), the French onion souplette ($14), and the Paris Baguette ($19), described simply as a ham and cheese sandwich. For the final version of the maitake mushroom ($19), Joyce ditched the ranch idea and decided on an allium aioli and a potion bottle of malt vinegar on the side.

There’s an option to use a cocktail card to choose your own libation adventure ($24). Miniature martinis the restaurant calls “mar-tinys” and “snack-quiris” are listed for $14.

The French souplettes are a joy to eat, with croutons you dunk into a soup crowded with melted cheese and sweet onions. The chicken liver mousse comes in a petite glass ramekin with a tart cherry aspic lining the top. The burger is an upgraded version of the one Beran served at the bar, with black pepper-crusted grilled onions and a bone marrow aioli. The bun is now made at the restaurant, a cross between a brioche and a potato roll.

At 2 a.m. the previous morning, Hsing rebuilt the website and added the words “French is fun” to the homepage. The mantra also shows up on the new receipts.

By the time the evening ends, Beran and Joyce have changed the construction of the souplette, filling them to order. The maitake mushroom is no longer dredged in flour. Instead, it’s battered like tempura and cut into two pieces. More surface area of crunch. More to dip.

The tweaks, shifts and slight alternations will continue through Thursday, tonight, when the restaurant officially reopens to the public.

Until the moment the staff yells “Doors” in unison and welcomes the first customers to the new, casual Pasjoli. With a new facade, new art on the walls and an entirely new menu, it’s the Pasjoli you remember, with a little less fuss, and if Beran is successful, a lot more fun.

No Comments on Pedestrian saw remnants of Ancient Roman building at Swiss highway construction site

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

A pedestrian who spotted a strange arrangement of stones wound up helping archaeologists rediscover an Ancient Roman building.

The find was announced by the Swiss canton of Solothurn on Facebook on May 20.

The “exciting” discovery was spotted at a highway construction site near Luterbach, 22 miles north of the city of Bern, the group said.

LATE BRONZE AGE SETTLEMENT DATING BACK 3,000 YEARS UNCOVERED AMID ROAD WORK: ‘IMPORTANT DISCOVERY’

“A pedestrian discovered stones and brick fragments not far from the motorway bridge about a week ago,” said the post, which was translated from Swiss German to English.

“It soon became clear: A Roman building is buried here.”

Pictures of the site show the stone foundation shockingly close to the road.

“[T]he Roman foundation remains will be covered again in the preparatory work for the replacement of the bridge over the highway,” the release added.

ARCHAEOLOGISTS MAKE GRIM DISCOVERY AFTER FINDING ANCIENT ROMAN BUILDINGS

Interestingly, this is likely not the first time that archaeologists have excavated the building.

“[T]he exact location of the ‘old structure’ remained unknown. Until now.”

The canton noted that “as early as the 1860s, an old structure made of pebble and granite stones was excavated at this location.”

8 Best Air Fryers for Crispy Wings and Fries (2025)

No Comments on 8 Best Air Fryers for Crispy Wings and Fries (2025)

What Type of Air Fryer Should I Get?

Most people only have space for one extra oven that’s not their stove, so your choice is a function of what you value most—and the size of your kitchen counter.

Basket air fryers such as our top pick can be a remarkably specialized devices, quickly and easily crisping up traditionally fried or sautéed foods like wings and french fries, but with a minimum of oil. Look up the best air fryer on Amazon or Google or Bing if that’s you, and a basket fryer is what you’ll see. A basket fryer’s shape is designed to maximize airflow and therefore both exterior crispness and distribution of heat—usually cooking significantly faster than traditional ovens. The air fryer baskets and cooking plates, usually made these days with PFAS- and PFOA-free nonstick surfaces, are also wildly easier to clean than the interior or racks in pretty much any traditional oven.

After the sudden advent of air fryers, makers of more traditional accessory and toaster ovens rushed to add air fryer baskets and “superconvection” fans to box-shaped ovens. Oven air fryers are less specialized, and so they may crisp less well or less quickly than a specialized basket fryer. But they may do a number of other things quite well, including bake a pizza from freshly proofed dough, rotisserie a chicken, toast bread, roast vegetables, broil chicken, and all the other things you might like an oven to do.

In short, they’re an oven. They do all the oven things, and also air fry. That said, oven fryers will likely cause you to spend a lot more time cleaning racks, drip pans, and air fryer baskets (shudder) and squinting while reaching in to scrub the sides of the oven walls.

A newer category is a combi air fryer, combining the whip-quick airflow of a basket fryer with a steam function that maintains moisture. As you might guess, this can cook meat like a charm and is still just as easy to clean as any basket air fryer. On the flip side, they can be a bit more expensive.

Just make sure you have room for the air fryer of your dreams on your kitchen counter and that the cooking capacity is sufficient for your needs: A 4-quart fryer should be enough for singletons. A 6-quart fryer is generally good for four portions of whatever you’re cooking in it. Larger, often dual-basket fryers add even more capacity for large families, but this size can come at the expense of preheating speed and airflow or temperature accuracy.

As with any kitchen device, we cooked a range of meat, fish, and vegetables in the air fryers we tested. But we paid special attention to traditionally fried foods that best showcase what makes air fryers distinctive.

For each fryer, we tested, tasted, and compared the air fryer staples of wings, french fries, brussels sprouts, and frozen breaded chicken—assessing the even cooking, moistness and crispness of each.

For wings, we tested whether a fryer could attain a lovely, skin-cracklingly crispy exterior without overcooking the wings, ideally within 18 minutes at 400 degrees. A french fry basket was an excellent test of how evenly the fryer cooked across the basket surface. Veggies can be touchy in an air fryer, and so brussels sprouts were often an excellent test of whether airflow was too intense, drying out the interiors of the sprouts and singeing their exteriors. For frozen nuggets and fingers, we made sure we got crisp breading and no sogginess.

We used a wireless meat thermometer to test the accuracy of each air fryer’s thermostat, the consistency of temperature within the cooking chamber, and how fast each air fryer preheated. An accurate thermostat turned out to be a rare and wonderful thing, where air fryers are concerned, but our top picks performed better than the error range of many thermometers.

We judged each air fryer on its versatility of functions and cooking, its ease of cleaning, and the intuitiveness of its control panel. We also looked into our hearts to assess the overall pleasantness of using each air fryer, and whether we’d be happy to have it in our life.

Finally, we checked the decibels on each device using a phone app, to make sure you won’t have to live inside an airplane hangar to get a nice basket of fries.

How much oil do I need in my air fryer?

Go easy on the oil. The beauty of an air fryer is that it offers a healthier way to cook with the similar crispy finish you’d get in a deep fryer, but with far less oil. So take advantage and limit the amount of oil you consume by using an oil sprayer that evenly coats your food without drenching it. A shake midway through the cycle also ensures that your food gets evenly coated in oil for better results.

What size air fryer should I get?

A 4-quart air fryer can be enough for up to two people, while a 6-quart-plus air fryer is better for families of four or more.

An air fryer can work as a convenient alternative to your built-in oven—and potentially save you time and money off energy bills, because you won’t have to heat up your whole oven. But if you find yourself having to use your air fryer multiple times to cook a complete meal, this defeats the purpose.

Unfortunately, air fryers can be bulky, so checking you have enough countertop space above and around your air fryer is a must, both to give the air fryer room to breathe when it’s in heating up and for ensuring you have enough room to prep your meals.

How do you calculate cooking time for something that doesn’t have an air fryer recipe?

When you’re converting oven recipes for your air fryer, remember that an air fryer cooks faster because it speeds up heat exchange with the food. So air fryers may reduce standard cooking times dramatically.

If you’re not sure how long to cook in your air fryer, try reducing the temperature by 50 degrees Fahrenheit and cooking for 20 percent less time than you would in a standard oven. And check your food midway through the cycle to ensure things are cooking away evenly, turning or shaking as needed. But honestly, literally every basic food has an air fryer recipe online. Try it. Think of an edible thing that doesn’t involve liquid, and Google it with the word “air fryer”

How to Clean a Basket Air Fryer

Air frying is healthier than deep frying, but it still involves blasting fat-misted air all over every available surface. Seems messy. But cleaning your air fryer is pretty easy. Nearly every basket air fryer nonstick coating. Sometimes this means a non-PFAS version of PTFE, better known as Teflon. Sometimes this will be a ceramic nonstick coating, as is true of our top-pick Typhur Dome 2 and pretty much all Ninja air fryers.

The real key is to actually bother to clean the baskets. Every time. Same as you would any other dish you put food in. Don’t reheat an air fryer with yesterday’s gunk or slick oil on it. It’ll bake in, and your air fryer will smoke or stink, and turn gross. Most of the time smoke comes out of an air fryer, it is probably not because you have a faulty air fryer. It’s because you heated up old rancid fat, or other awfulness.

Anyway, the process is pretty easy:

Wait for the air fryer baskets to cool down. They’re hot. Don’t burn yourself, it’s not worth it. Eat your food. Enjoy it. Talk to your family. Come back after dinner, when the basket’s nice and cool.

Pull out the basket or baskets entirely. Pull out any cooking grates or space dividers from the basket. Wash with a sponge or rag, and warm soapy water. Soak if need be. Some air fryer baskets are designated dishwasher safe, but I don’t use this even if the manual says I can. It’s nonstick. You’re gonna wear out your nonstick coating if you keep it up.

If you really want to go for it, also swipe the heating element and air fryer interior with a damp (non-soapy) cloth. That said, I mostly don’t do this. Some air fryer evangelists say you should. But if you think you splattered oil up to the heating element, take a little wet rag to it. Some ovens, like our top-pick Typhur Dome 2, have a self-cleaning function that can burn off grease and such—meant to be used once a month or so. Other ovens can just be run at 450 degrees.

Do the same on the exterior, where you put your grubby, sticky fingers. You know how you touched the food, and then you touched the air fryer? Now there’s food on the air fryer. Ew.

Dry stuff. Or just wait. If you don’t dry things before you put them away, they get weird. That’s just how it is.

Other Air Fryers We Like

Photograph: Matthew Korfhage

Philips Series 3000 6-quart air fryer for $120: So, this is a terrific air fryer. As with most fryers from the air fryer’s first maker, the temp control is unimpeachable. The funny little peekaboo window is nice to monitor cooks, and the generous 6-quart capacity should suffice for most families (though there’s a 7-quart Series 3000 XXL model with even more room). I don’t love the overall beepiness and the presets (air fryer chicken legs instead of wings?) that don’t seem optimized for American food tastes, though the compact control panel is much appreciated. But otherwise this is a quite-well-engineered air fryer that keeps it simple, and I both like and recommend it—though the comparable 2000 series fryer performs about as well for a little less money.

Photograph: Matthew Korfhage

Instant Pot Vortex Slim for $140: This 6-quart fryer has nearly the same excellent performance, and much of the same functionality, that we like in our top Instant Pot pick. But its lack of cooking window and odor-erase filter keep it lesser in our hearts. That said, the Slim’s got a slimmer and deeper profile, about an inch less broad than the Vortex Plus. In some kitchens, this inch will matter.

Photograph: Matthew Korfhage

Philips 3000 Series Dual Basket Air Fryer for $200: Big double-basket fryers are always a compromise. You give up some temp accuracy, and there’s a bit of inevitable heat bleed between baskets. They also tend to preheat slower. This one is pretty accurate when one basket’s going, but can cook a bit hot when both are really rolling. That said, I like the notion of splitting a double fryer into asymmetric baskets, making room for a big main course and then a little french fry side. It’s smart. Philips often makes smart decisions. Once you figure it out (it’ll take a second), the options to either match basket cooks—or time both baskets to finish at the same time—are also well managed.

Cosori 9-Quart Dual Air Fryer With Wider Double Basket for $170: This Cosori air fryer was a previous pick among large, dual-basket fryers, prized for its intuitive controls and a dual-basket syncing feature that’s now become common among two-basket fryers. We now recommend the Instant Pot 9-quart fryer, among large fryers.

Gourmia 6-Quart Window Air Fryer for $70: The Gourmia budget appliance brand has a dizzying array of options, styles, and store-specific models. Of all the Gourmia air fryers we tested, this Target-only model performed best. Temp accuracy is not fully optimal, but not so far off it troubles me. And I wish its window didn’t steam up. But the mix of a window for easy viewing and good airflow—which is to say, crispy wings—makes this a reasonable purchase at its low price. I’d still get the slightly more expensive Philips 6-quart, though.

Air Fryers We Don’t Recommend

Fritaire Nontoxic Air Fryer for $200: This looked promising—a large and charmingly retro-styled air fryer with a borosilicate glass bottom, a nearly plastic-free interior, a self-clean function, and an option on a rotating rotisserie spit. Wild! Alas, our union was not to be. Temps were haywire on the device we tested, ranging up to 90 degrees higher than settings, the exterior also got painfully hot, and the rotisserie tumbler and spit involved a separate battery-powered motor attachment and more parts than the collected works of Bulwer-Lytton. Fritaire representatives said the device was certified by international bodies for its temperature claims, and are looking into whether the model we received was part of a small production batch with a faulty thermostat.

Photograph: Matthew Korfhage

Midea Flexify Toaster Oven Air Fryer for $149: On the one hand, this price is tough to beat for a 26-quart, French-door toaster oven fryer. On the other, the performance matches the price, with an unreliable thermostat, a lot of heat leakage through the doors and sides, and bread toasting that mostly involves scorching the bottom of the bread through the grate.

Photograph: Matthew Korfhage

Ninja Doublestack XL 2-Basket for $250: On the one hand, this 10-quart Ninja offers a dramatic amount of cooking space with a relatively small footprint, plopping two 5-quart baskets atop each other. Each basket also has a crisper rack, offering the potential of putting together a four-component meal. We had good results placing wing flats atop the crisper, and letting them drip onto the drums beneath for a mix of extra-crispy and extra-juicy wings. But this stacked design also means putting the heating elements and fans in the back of each drawer rather than the top, leading to uneven cooking throughout the basket and equally uneven air circulation. Cooking with multiple zones also required difficult and often confusing recipe conversions, and cook times stretched quite long.

Cosori DualBlaze 6.8-Quart for $180 and Cosori TurboBlaze 6-Quart for $120 are a bit like Jack Sprat and his wife. The DualBlaze runs too hot, and the TurboBlaze runs too cold. WIRED previously had the DualBlaze as a top pick, in part for a phone app that’s now a common feature across the category. On recent testing, we’re now more concerned about the wonky thermostat.

Ninja Doublestack XL Countertop Oven for $380: This doublestack looked like a versatile design, dropping a toaster oven atop an already spacious air fryer oven with a clever door design allowing the compartments to open together or separately. The reality was disappointing. The shut-off button on the top oven malfunctioned, meaning I had to turn the power off completely to shut off the top oven. And temperatures were all over the map. If the temp at the back of the main oven was 400 degrees Fahrenheit, the temp near the door might be 345, leading to wildly uneven cooking. And while Ninja touts FlavorSeal technology to keep odors and aromas from traveling between the top and bottom oven, the same was not true of heat: Heat from the bottom oven freely traveled into the top oven and vice versa. Also, toast burned even at medium-low settings.

Osjećate umor tijekom dana? Evo kako si pomoći za brzo podizanje energije

Post author By admin

No Comments on Osjećate umor tijekom dana? Evo kako si pomoći za brzo podizanje energije

UMOR tijekom dana jedan je od najčešćih problema s kojima se susrećemo, bilo zbog stresa, lošeg sna, nezdrave prehrane ili preopterećenja. Iako je povremeni umor normalan, kada postane kroničan, može utjecati na produktivnost, mentalnu jasnoću i opće zdravlje.

Brojni stručnjaci savjetuju nekoliko učinkovitih strategija za brzo podizanje energije koje ne uključuju konzumaciju kofeina ili drugih stimulansa. U nastavku donosimo nekoliko jednostavnih i učinkovitih načina kako poboljšati energiju tijekom dana.

Uzmite kratki odmor: 10 minuta za revitalizaciju

Jedan od najjednostavnijih i najbržih načina za podizanje energije tijekom dana jest uzimanje kratkog odmora. Stručnjaci preporučuju da, umjesto da se prisiljavate na daljnji rad, uzmete pauzu od 10 minuta. Ustanite, prošetajte ili jednostavno sjednite i dišite duboko.

Ovaj kratki period opuštanja omogućuje tijelu da se oporavi od mentalnog stresa, poboljšava cirkulaciju i omogućuje vam da se ponovno usredotočite na zadatke. Aktivnosti poput kratke šetnje na svježem zraku mogu dodatno potaknuti vašu energiju.

Pijte vodu: dehidracija je često uzrok umora

Dehidracija je jedan od najčešćih uzroka umora. Iako mnogi ljudi misle da su umorni zbog niskih razina energije, zapravo se često radi o dehidraciji. Čak i lagani gubitak tekućine može usporiti mentalnu i fizičku funkciju. Preporučuje se redovito piti vodu tijekom dana, a ne samo kada ste žedni. Pijenje vode pomoći će vam da ostanete energični i koncentrirani, a također podržava vašu probavu i detoksifikaciju.

Jedite zdravu užinu: odaberite voće, orašaste plodove ili jogurt

Jedenje zdrave i hranjive užine također može pomoći. Izbjegavajte rafinirane grickalice koje sadrže puno šećera jer one mogu uzrokovati nagli porast i pad šećera u krvi, što dovodi do osjećaja umora. Umjesto toga stručnjaci savjetuju odabir užine koja kombinira proteine, zdrave masti i vlakna.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

Neki od najboljih izbora su voće (poput banana ili jabuka), orašasti plodovi (bademi, orasi) ili grčki jogurt. Ove namirnice pružaju stabilnu energiju i ne uzrokuju nagle promjene u razinama šećera u krvi.

Provodite nekoliko minuta na svježem zraku

Svjež zrak može imati značajan učinak na vašu energiju. Provodite nekoliko minuta vani, čak i ako je to samo kratka šetnja ili nekoliko dubokih udaha na balkonu. Svjež zrak i sunčeva svjetlost pomažu u povećanju razine serotonina, hormona koji poboljšava vaše raspoloženje i energiju. Kratki boravak na svježem zraku omogućuje vam da se fizički opustite i smanjite stres, što izravno utječe na vašu energiju.

Duboko disanje i meditacija

Stres je čest uzrok umora jer aktivira reakciju “bori se ili bježi” u tijelu, što povećava potrošnju energije. Jedan od učinkovitih načina za brz oporavak jest duboko disanje i meditacija. Ako možete svakih nekoliko sati provesti nekoliko minuta u mirnom okruženju, zatvorite oči i usredotočite se na duboko disanje. Ova tehnika smanjuje razinu stresa, poboljšava cirkulaciju i brzo podiže razinu energije.

Lagana tjelovježba

Redovita tjelovježba može povećati energiju i smanjiti osjećaj umora. Iako intenzivna tjelovježba nije uvijek moguća tijekom radnog dana, nekoliko minuta laganih vježbi – poput istezanja, joge ili čak kratkog brzog hodanja – može potaknuti cirkulaciju i povećati vašu energiju. Vježbanje pomaže u oslobađanju endorfina, hormona koji poboljšavaju raspoloženje i energiju.

Znanstvenici otkrili koje pasmine pasa najčešće pate od proljeva

Post author By admin

Post date June 13, 2025

No Comments on Znanstvenici otkrili koje pasmine pasa najčešće pate od proljeva

NEKE pasmine, čini se, češće imaju problema s probavom nego druge, a razlog bi mogao biti i genetski. Prema novoj studiji objavljenoj u časopisu PLOS One, otprilike jedan od dvanaest pasa u Ujedinjenom Kraljevstvu svake godine dobije dijagnozu proljeva.

Istraživači su izdvojili šest pasmina koje su najsklonije ovoj neugodnoj pojavi. To su maltezer, patuljasti pudl, kavapoo (mješanac kavalirskog španijela i pudla), njemački ovčar, jorkširski terijer i kokapoo (mješanac koker španijela i pudla).

Znanstvenici napominju da bi razlog mogla biti i genetska predispozicija, dakle, naslijeđene karakteristike koje povećavaju rizik od probavnih smetnji kod ovih pasmina.

U analizu je bilo uključeno oko 2.25 milijuna pasa. Glavni autor studije, Dan O’Neill s Kraljevskog veterinarskog fakulteta u Velikoj Britaniji, sa suradnicima je otkrio i koje pasmine su najmanje sklone proljevu – Jack Russell terijer i čivava.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

Proljev je najčešći kod pasa mlađih od tri godine i starijih od devet

Prehrambene navike i razina aktivnosti također mogu igrati ulogu, ističu znanstvenici. Studija je pokazala da je proljev najčešći kod pasa mlađih od tri godine i starijih od devet. Mladi psi često pojedu nešto što ne bi smjeli, dok kod starijih pasa to može biti povezano sa starenjem i drugim zdravstvenim tegobama.

Dobra vijest je da se više od 80 posto pasa oporavi već nakon jednog posjeta veterinaru, što sugerira da problem najčešće brzo prolazi.

“Iskustvo s proljevom jedan je od onih trenutaka kojih se svaki vlasnik pasa užasava”, rekao je dr. O’Neill. “Ova studija pokazuje da je proljev među psima vrlo čest, ali da nema razloga za paniku. Bez obzira na to koliko to bilo neugodno, većina pasa se potpuno oporavi u roku od nekoliko dana nakon veterinarske pomoći.”

Ovo su trenutno najtraženije adidas tenisice

No Comments on Ovo su trenutno najtraženije adidas tenisice

Pri kreiranju rubrike Index Shopping nastojimo izdvajati odlične proizvode koji se i nama sviđaju te odlične akcije i popuste. Ne objavljujemo proizvode koje i sami ne bismo kupili ili smatramo da njihova promocija nije u skladu s profesionalnim standardima. Neki proizvodi u rubrici Index Shopping mogu biti sponzorirani.

TRENDOVI u svijetu tenisica, a i mode općenito, mijenjaju se toliko brzo da je dovoljno samo trepnuti i već ste jedan propustili. Samo u proteklih nekoliko mjeseci ove godine vidjeli smo kako su trendseterice i trendseteri pohrlili po Pumine Speedcat modele, zatim po tenisice od brušene kože Miu Miu i New Balancea (kao i njihove dupliće), a potom i po balerina-tenisice, od adidasovih do onih brenda Vivaia.

Ovog ljeta, pak, čini se da će glavnu ulogu preuzeti Adidasov model Taekwondo. Naime, prema Lystovu izvješću za prvo tromjesečje 2025., upravo su ove tenisice proglašene drugim najtraženijim modnim proizvodom na svijetu, odmah iza traper trapezica brenda Celine koje je početkom godine proslavio Kendrick Lamar.

Kako piše The Zoe Report, model je lansiran 2000-ih i u početku je bio namijenjen sportašima borilačkih vještina. Danas su Taekwondo tenisice postale pravi hit u uličnoj modi.

U njima su viđene Dakota Johnson i Jennifer Lawrence

Primjer za to je i jedna od posljednjih modnih kombinacija Dakote Johnson u New Yorku. Promovirajući svoj nadolazeći film Materialists, u kojem glume i Pedro Pascal i Chris Evans, glumica je početkom mjeseca prošetala užurbanim ulicama Manhattana noseći Taekwondo tenisice s uzorkom kravljeg printa. Upravo su one dale poseban štih njezinoj kombinaciji bež balonera i plavih traperica.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

S druge strane, Jennifer Lawrence vjerojatno je bila prva zvijezda koja je ovim tenisicama dala modni “blagoslov”. Sredinom ožujka nosila je crni model uz dugi mornarsko-plavi vuneni kaput, savršen stajling za prijelazno razdoblje.

Budući da su već dvije poznate glumice prigrlile Taekwondo tenisice, pitanje je trenutka kada će se u njima pojaviti i neka nova slavna osoba – možda Hailey Bieber ili Katie Holmes?

Ove su tenisice vrlo svestrane i lako ih je kombinirati – od sportskih do elegantnijih outfita, pristaju gotovo uz sve. U nastavku smo izdvojili nekoliko modela, ako ih poželite dodati u svoju garderobu.

Olympics Pole Vault Champion Armand Duplantis Rewrites History at Diamond League 2025 in Oslo

No Comments on Olympics Pole Vault Champion Armand Duplantis Rewrites History at Diamond League 2025 in Oslo

Mumbai, June 13: Two-time Olympic gold medallist Armand “Mondo” Duplantis continued to extend his winning ways in pole vault after taking the top spot at the Diamond League meeting in Oslo. Duplantis soared to a distance of 6.15m to land at the top. Emmanouil Karalis from Greece was second after clearing 5.82m, and Australian Kurtis Marschall settled for the third spot (5.72m). Duplantis was safely over 5.62m and 5.82m in his first attempts. By the time Duplantis prepared for his second attempt, only three other men remained in the contest. Armand Duplantis Opens Up After Smashing Pole Vault World Record for 11th Time, Says ‘I Just Did It’.

The 25-year-old’s supremacy could only be challenged by Paris 2024 bronze medallist Karalis, 2023 world bronze medallist Marschall and London 2012 champion Renaud Lavillenie. The contenders continued to fall out of the race for the top spot. Lavillenie retired after clearing a distance of 5.72m, while Marschall missed three consecutive attempts at 5.82m to be eliminated.

With two out of the picture, Karalis and Duplantis were the only ones left to fight for the top. After the Swede cleared 5.92m in his first attempt, Karalis couldn’t get over the line in three tries and got eliminated. Duplantis raised the bar to 6.03m but uncharacteristically missed it on his first two attempts. On his third try, he got over the bar successfully and scripted a new meet record, bettering his record of 6.02m.

“I am really glad about it. It was really a nice jump. I didn’t have my mind super fixated on any height really, I just felt that how things were turning out I felt that it possible to jump a meet record here, the best jump that I have taken here in Oslo by far. Really happy with that,” Duplantis said as quoted from Olympics.com. Mondo Duplantis Raises His Pole Vault World Record to 6.27 Metre in World Athletics Indoor Tour 2025.

He then raised the bar to 6.15m and went over safely on his second try, breaking the record yet again before retiring from the competition. Duplantis’s next destination will be the Diamond League in Stockholm, where he hopes to shatter the world record.

“On Sunday in Stockholm, it would be an absolute dream to break the world record. In fact, I could retire if I do! At the moment, the forecast is good for Sunday, and I am feeling good, I am in good shape and tonight shows I am jumping well, so who knows? It may be possible. I need to build on tonight and get ready now for the big one,” Duplantis added.

The inside story of Sidhu Moosewala’s murder

Post author By admin

Post date June 13, 2025

No Comments on The inside story of Sidhu Moosewala’s murder

A new documentary titled The Killing Call has shed more light on the murder of Punjabi singer and rapper Sidhu Moosewala, who was shot dead in broad daylight on May 29, 2022. The documentary includes revelations from Goldy Brar, a close aide of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who claimed responsibility for ordering the killing.

According to Brar, Sidhu Moosewala was allegedly involved in the murder of Youth Akali Dal leader Vicky Middukhera, who was a close associate and mentor to both Lawrence Bishnoi and Brar. This, Brar says, was the main reason Moosewala was targeted.

Sidhu Moosewala, born Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, rose to fame for his bold lyrics, flashy persona, and powerful commentary on Punjab’s social and political issues. Originally from a small village in Punjab, he moved to Canada in 2016 to study engineering. He quickly gained international recognition, with more than five billion views on YouTube and collaborations with global artists like Burna Boy.

Despite his fame, Moosewala’s name became entangled in Punjab’s ongoing gang rivalries. In The Killing Call, Brar revealed that Moosewala had a friendly relationship with Lawrence Bishnoi dating back to 2018.

“Lawrence was in touch with Sidhu. I don’t know who introduced them, and I never asked, but they did speak. Sidhu used to send ‘good morning’ and ‘good night’ messages to flatter Lawrence,” Brar said.

A close friend of Moosewala, who did not want to be named, confirmed the connection. “Sidhu said Lawrence Bishnoi called me. Lawrence called him from jail. He said Lawrence liked his music and said Sidhu was doing really well. The communication between the two started in 2017-2018, and continued until after Sidhu moved back to India,” the friend said.

ICE raids are sending street vendors into hiding

Post author By admin

No Comments on ICE raids are sending street vendors into hiding

Francisco has been working as a taquero for over a year, but he’s never felt as worried as he does now, in the shadow of a week of ongoing sweeps in Los Angeles by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

“We can’t go out to work as much on the streets now,” the 23-year-old said in Spanish. “We’ve heard from some colleagues who work in other positions, and they’ve even arrested a couple of them. We go to work afraid they might arrest us.”

To stay safe, Francisco — who provided only his first name out of fear for his safety because he is undocumented — said he has limited his movement, turning to Uber Delivery for necessities like groceries and medicine. But he continues to come to work.

“If we don’t go out to work, how do we cover our expenses?” he said.

The risk of being arrested and deported versus the need for economic security is plaguing undocumented vendors throughout Los Angeles, said Elba Serrano, the associate vice president of East L.A. Community Corp. ELACC is a member of the Los Angeles Street Vending Campaign coalition and assists vendors with securing permits. Around 80% of their clients are undocumented, Serrano said.

“Vendors don’t want to be seen as ‘illegal,’ ” she said. “They always have been wanting to be part of the economy, and our goal was for them to be seen as a legitimate small business.”

The problem now, Serrano explained, is that to secure permits, vendors must file an I-10 form, which categorizes filers by their citizenship status.

“One of the things that we’ve always understood is that the IRS is only there to collect taxes — they’re not checking for, you know, anybody’s status,” she said. “But now, this new administration is seeking to get a list of potential people who are undocumented, and the easiest way to find somebody who’s undocumented is by looking through I-10s.”

Since the onset of ICE’s raids last weekend, Serrano said several vendors have canceled their appointments with the agency. With the rampant ICE presence in the city, whether undocumented vendors seek to file taxes or go into work has become a “personal risk assessment.”

For many vendors, the risk is not worth it. At the Hollywood location of Leo’s Tacos Truck, a popular taco truck chain, only five guys were working the late night rush. Typically, the night shift is staffed by 10 people.

“We’ve been dealing with this problem of missing people for two weeks,” said security guard Ricardo Rodriguez.

Notably, however, the decision to leave the house affects not only vendors, but also their customers. On a typical night, Rodriguez said the truck receives around 950 customers. The line snakes throughout the parking lot. Now that number has dropped to 500 and features few Latino faces.

“It’s a little customer. A little employees,” he said. “People feel a little intimidated by the protest.”

7 Prayers for Every Fear

Post author By admin

Post date June 13, 2025

No Comments on 7 Prayers for Every Fear

Of all the issues shared in my one-on-one mentorship programs, fear is mentioned most often. In my own life, fear has kept me from moving forward in faith, hindered my trust in God, and burdened my thoughts like a heavy weight.

Thankfully, we have a Savior who empowers us to pray against every fear. As Psalm 55:16-17 says, “But I will call on God, and the Lord will rescue me. Morning, noon, and night I cry out in my distress, and the Lord hears my voice.” At all times and in all ways, we have access to God’s help.

If you’re tired of letting fear drive your life, here are seven prayers to pray:

1. Fear of Loss

My dad has always said to hold loosely the people and things we love most. There’s a lot of wisdom in his words, but I sometimes find myself white-knuckling my family in fear of losing them.

Philippians 4:6-7 says, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

What if, instead of fear, we presented our petitions to the Lord in faith, trusting Him to guard our hearts and minds with perfect peace? Here is a powerful prayer for fear of loss:

Heavenly Father, You know how fearful I am of losing someone close to me. Thank You for Your lovingkindness that overcomes my fear. I know that You love my family more than I ever could, and I entrust them to You today. I pray against every anxiety that tries to keep me bound, and I receive the truth of Your Word that reminds me You are for us, not against us. In Jesus’ name, amen.

2. Fear of Harm

In a recent altercation at my grandson’s elementary school, total chaos erupted, and we were forced to evacuate the building. As we were running toward the parking lot, all I could think was how helpless I felt in protecting my family from harm. Thankfully, no one was hurt.

The fear of harm is growing in our world today, and understandably so. Even an ordinary trip to the grocery store is clouded by the thought that someone with ill intentions might cross our path.

But God…He never intended for us to live in fear. Instead, He wants us to fully depend on Him for protection. Psalm 34:17-20 says, “The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all; he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken.” With this in mind, here is a prayer when you’re fearful of harm:

Almighty God, in the refuge of Your presence, I find safety. You are a wall of protection around me and my family. Thank You for blocking the arrows of the evil one. I pray for the plans of the enemy to be thwarted now, in the mighty name of Jesus. I pray for many angels to surround each of my family members today. You are a strong tower, and I run to You for total protection and peace. In Jesus’ name, amen.

3. Fear of Suffering

When my husband’s grandfather passed away, we knew he was finally free from suffering and pain. Though he’d had wonderful hospice care, it was difficult to watch his health decline and his pain increase. We wondered why the Lord allowed him to go through prolonged suffering when he’d been such a godly man of faith.

Fear of suffering hinders the confidence we have in Christ. It causes an unnecessary sense of dread that steals our joy. 2 Timothy 1:12 says, “That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet this is no cause for shame, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day.”

If you’re fearful of suffering, or are saddened by a loved one who is suffering, here is a comforting prayer of faith:

Lord Jesus, I know that You are acquainted with pain and suffering, and You care for each of us deeply. Thank You for being able to sympathize with us and walk with us through hardship. I break agreement with the fear of suffering today, and I come boldly to Your throne to ask for comfort and peace. Please remove the sting of death and wash over us with divine hope and healing today, in Jesus’ name, amen.

4. Fear of Economic Downturn

During a recent grocery store pick up, I watched as the clerk wheeled my $180 worth of groceries to the car. I couldn’t believe how few containers were on his cart! In years past, that same dollar amount would have purchased double the groceries. (I know many of you can relate.)

The fear of economic downturn is a very real concern, and in some ways, we are already experiencing it. So, how does God expect us to view this reality, and how is He providing in the midst of it?

Philippians 4:19 says, “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” What a wonderful passage to remind us that God is our Jehovah-Jireh, our Provider.

Jesus illustrated a beautiful word picture in Matthew 6:25-27, saying, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?”

Your life is valuable, my friend. You can count on your Heavenly Father to provide for you. Release your worries to Him and look at the birds of the air as a beautiful example of His faithfulness.

Lord God, please forgive me for fearing economic uncertainty and the financial strain it puts on our families. You have shown us how You care for Your creation, and I can trust You to provide exactly what we need. You are a generous, gracious Father, and I release all financial worries to you today. In Jesus’ name.

5. Fear of Loneliness

Loneliness isn’t only a problem for the isolated or elderly; it’s a reality for people of all ages. Even when surrounded by others, it’s easy to feel alone. It may be that others don’t understand us, agree with us, or even want to be around us, and that’s a hard pill to swallow.

Psalm 68:5-6 says, “A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families, he leads out the prisoners with singing.” When fear of loneliness hovers like a dark cloud, we can look to God for help. He is our true Father, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.

Gracious God, thank You that You never leave or forsake me. You are with me always, even to the end of the age. I bring my hurts and fears of isolation to You, asking You to draw me close. I also ask for trusted relationships – relationships that build my faith and provide Christ-centered camaraderie. I will not fear loneliness, but instead, embrace Your faithful presence. In Jesus’ name, amen.

6. Fear Concerning Loved Ones

I thought once my kids were raised, I wouldn’t have to worry as much. How wrong I was! I find myself praying even harder for their physical well-being, their hearts toward God, and each of their unique challenges.

1 Thessalonians 5:8-11 says, “But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.”

What I love most about this passage is the encouragement to build each other up. I want to be the kind of person who always builds up and never tears down. One of the best things I can do is pray consistently for my loved ones. Prayer overrides fear.

Lord, please put Your hedge of protection around each of my loved ones – from youngest to oldest and everyone near and far. Call them each by name and draw them close to Your side. Let Your righteous right hand guide them, picking them up when they stumble and setting them on the path of righteousness for Your name’s sake. I release my fear, and instead, declare words of life, hope, and truth over them. In Jesus’ holy name, amen.

7. Fear of the Future

My husband and I have had countless discussions about the state of the world and an unknown future. But we’re always brought back to the fact that nothing escapes God’s sovereignty. We trust what the Bible says and hold fast to God’s promises.

Isaiah 40:31 says, “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” This assures us we don’t have to fear the future because our hope is in God. He renews and strengthens, provides and protects.

Holy God, I trust that You know the beginning from the end. You see the eternal timeline, and nothing happens without Your knowledge. All that’s going on in the world right now is not a surprise to You. There is no fear of the future because I will spend eternity in Your presence. Please remind me of this in the days to come, in Jesus’ name, amen.

World War II soldier’s dog tag returned to his family 80 years after fatal crash

No Comments on World War II soldier’s dog tag returned to his family 80 years after fatal crash

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

A World War II soldier’s dog tag has finally been returned to his family, 80 years after his death.

Technical Sergeant Joseph L. Gray was one of 31 U.S. servicemen who tragically died on April 23, 1945, when the group’s B-17G Flying Fortress crashed into a mountain on the Isle of Man.

The plane never reached its destination after taking off from an airbase in England during World War II, news agency SWNS reported.

ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNCOVER UNEXPECTED REMAINS OF CIVIL WAR SOLDIERS AT HISTORIC LANDMARK

The tragedy remains the deadliest aviation disaster in the island’s history, the same source noted.

In 2010, a local metal detectorist discovered Gray’s dog tag. The detectorist turned it over to the Manx Aviation and Military Museum, where it was kept safe for years.

Technical Sergeant Joseph L. Gray’s dog tag, pictured here, was returned to his family 80 years after his death. The American was one of 31 U.S. servicemen who tragically died on April 23, 1945. The dog tag was found about 15 years ago — and had been in a museum’s care since that time. (SWNS)

The tag’s return only became possible when Donald Madar, whose great-uncle also died in the crash, made a personal pilgrimage to the crash site this April from his home in Pennsylvania.

Madar had been connected to Gray’s family since 2020, when Gray’s great-niece, Clare Quinn, reached out to him through a Facebook group about the crash.

“Something stuck out about the name.”

“When I was visiting and holding the tag, something stuck out about the name and I remembered the post she had written five years ago,” Madar recalled. “She asked about Joseph and told us all about him in a post she uploaded,” he added, referring to Clare Quinn.

“I then reached out to her. That was where we came up with the plan to return it home through her sister,” Madar said.

While on the Isle of Man, Madar met with a museum historian, Ivor Ramsden, who handed him the tag along with a personal letter to deliver to Gray’s family.

The final handoff took place on May 7, when Madar drove 40 minutes to the Brickville House Restaurant in Pennsylvania.

“I could see the emotion rush into her – her eyes began to tear up,” Madar said about the moment he passed the tag to Bridgette Daily, Clare Quinn’s sister.

“I could tell it was so important for her family that they took possession of a piece of their history,” Madar said.

“It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining,” he recalled.

“We went in blind as we hadn’t shared images of each other as we were talking over email,” said Madar.

“We sat down and talked about the event, the history, and of course, Joseph,” he said.

“It was great to get to know him through her stories.”

American serviceman Gray was traveling from Essex to Northern Ireland on a B-17 Flying Fortress bomber when it crashed on April 23, 1945. (SWNS)

“I built the moment up, only revealing the letter when I thought it was the right time – it was a wonderful moment,” said Madar.

Madar said he is “thankful” to the Manx Aviation and Military Museum for helping to make the transfer happen.

Members of the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board resigned en masse: Here’s why

Post author By admin

Post date June 13, 2025

No Comments on Members of the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board resigned en masse: Here’s why

At least 11 out of the 12 members of the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board have resigned en masse to protest “unprecedented interference” from Trump administration officials, they claimed in a statement on Substack.

The statement posted on 11 June titled ‘Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board Resignation Statement’, said that members of the board voted to resign “rather than endorse unprecedented actions that … compromise national interests and integrity”.

Notably, AP reported that one board member has not joined the mass resignation. Board member Carmen Estrada-Schaye told the agency, “I was appointed by the president of the United States, and I intend to fill out my term.”

According to the statement, the Trump administration denied a number of US academics from receiving the prestigious awards and has rejected scholarships for the 2025-2026 academic year. Further, they alleged “unauthorised review” of 1,200 foreign Fulbright recipients.

As per the New York Times, which broke the story, US State Department officials have cancelled Fulbright scholarships for nearly 200 US professors and researchers at universities and research centres abroad.

Why the step? Key issues raised by board:

The board alleges that the current administration has usurped its authority in contradiction to Fulbright’s mission and values, including free speech and academic freedom.

When the US Congress established the Fulbright scholarship program, the board was given final approval over applicants and screening by nonpartisan career staff at the State Department.

It added that over 35 foreign governments match or exceed the US contributions to the program.

The board added that its written objections to senior administration officials failed to receive a response, and continuing to serve … would risk legitimising actions we believe are unlawful and damage the integrity of this storied program and America’s credibility abroad.”

How has govt responded? US State Dept says…

A US State Department official, in statements to the media, dismissed the mass resignation as politically motivated. They also disputed claims of board independence and said that it has the final say over applications.

“It’s ridiculous to believe that these members would continue to have final say over the application process, especially when it comes to determining academic suitability and alignment with President Trump’s Executive Orders. The claim that the Fulbright-Hays Act affords exclusive and final say over Fulbright Applications to the Fulbright board is false. This is nothing but a political stunt attempting to undermine President Trump,” the official said.

“The 12 members of the Fulbright board were partisan political appointees of the Biden administration. It’s ridiculous to believe that these members would continue to have final say over the application process, especially when it comes to determining academic suitability and alignment with President Trump’s executive orders,” they added.

The AP reported that, besides Estrada-Schaye, 11 of the board members were selected under former US President Joe Biden.

Read full statement: ‘Govt usurping authority, denied Fulbright awards, reviewing 1,200 recipients’

“Effective immediately, members of the Congressionally mandated Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board voted overwhelmingly to resign from the board, rather than endorse unprecedented actions that we believe are impermissible under the law, compromise U.S. national interests and integrity, and undermine the mission and mandates Congress established for the Fulbright program nearly 80 years ago.

At the program’s inception, Congress clearly specified that the Fulbright Board has final approval authority of applicants, which occurs after an exhaustive and deliberate, year-long process led by non-partisan career staff at the State Department and Embassies around the world. The process involves 49 binational, treaty-based commissions and over 150 countries, which contribute a significant amount of the annual funding for the Fulbright program. In fact, 35+ foreign governments match or exceed the U.S. government’s annual contribution.

Under Democratic and Republican administrations alike, the Board has followed the law, operating with independence pursuant to its statutory mandate. Indeed, the Fulbright-Hays Act emphasizes the non-political and non-ideological character of the program.

However, the current administration has usurped the authority of the Board and denied Fulbright awards to a substantial number of individuals who were selected for the 2025-2026 academic year. The administration is also currently subjecting an additional 1,200 foreign Fulbright recipients to an unauthorized review process and could reject more. We believe these actions not only contradict the statute but are antithetical to the Fulbright mission and the values, including free speech and academic freedom, that Congress specified in the statute.

It is worth noting that the awards that were overridden include studies in categories such as biology, engineering, architecture, agriculture, crop sciences, animal sciences, biochemistry, medical sciences, music, and history.

Through generations of war and peace, the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Program has been a bipartisan pillar of American diplomacy—an enduring symbol of our nation’s commitment to mutual understanding and diplomacy, academic excellence, and international cooperation. It has promoted U.S. interests and global stability. Fulbright alumni have gone on to become leaders of government, industry, academia, arts, and culture in every part of the world.

Members of Congress of both parties tout the prestige and economic benefits bestowed upon their home state colleges and universities who support such distinguished students and alumni.

This proud legacy has depended on one thing above all: the integrity of the program’s selection process based on merit, not ideology, and its insulation from political interference. That integrity is now undermined.

We have raised these legal issues and our strong objections with senior administration officials on multiple occasions, including in writing. The officials have refused to acknowledge or respond to the Board, failing to even attempt good faith efforts to course correct and operate the Program in accordance with the statute.

Our resignation is not a decision we take lightly. But to continue to serve after the Administration has consistently ignored the Board’s request that they follow the law would risk legitimizing actions we believe are unlawful and damage the integrity of this storied program and America’s credibility abroad. Indeed, the erosion of the Fulbright program weakens America and our national security interests. Institutions and the rule of law matter and have distinguished our country for almost 250 years. As a Board, we are proud of our stewardship of the program, the way we’ve worked to uphold its mission, integrity, and adherence to the law.

It is our sincere hope that Congress, the courts, and future Fulbright Boards will prevent the administration’s efforts to degrade, dismantle, or even eliminate one of our nation’s most respected and valuable programs. Injecting politics and ideological mandates into the Fulbright program violates the letter and spirit of the law that Congress so wisely established nearly eight decades ago.”

About Fulbright Scholarships

Established around 80 years back, in 1946, to promote international exchange and American diplomacy, the Fulbright Scholarship is a highly selective program that awards close to 9,000 scholarships annually in the US and over 160 other countries to students, scholars, and professionals in a range of fields.

Sponsored by the US Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) it was established under legislation introduced by late Senator J William Fulbright, of Arkansas.

According to the Fulbright website, its alumni include 62 Nobel prize winners and 93 Pulitzer recipients. Some notable alumni include King Felipe VI of Spain; Luc Frieden, prime minister of Luxembourg; Leslie Voltaire, president of Haiti’s transitional presidential council; and Muhammad Yunus, chief adviser of Bangladesh.

How many Indians will be impacted?

The United States–India Educational Foundation (USIEF) administers the Fulbright Program in India, according to the US Embassy in India website.

It added that India’s program “is one of the largest with more than 350 fellowships granted annually”. Donald Trump’s crackdown on immigration and foreign students in the US is likely to impact “thousands” of Indian students.

Sanjog Anand, co-founder of Rostrum Education told Business Standard in May, “India has become the leading source of international students in the US. More than 331,600 Indian students were enrolled in the US during the 2023–24 academic year, making up nearly 30 per cent of the international student body.”

An Exclusive Look at Infinite Machine’s Olto Electric Bike

Post author By admin

Post date June 13, 2025

No Comments on An Exclusive Look at Infinite Machine’s Olto Electric Bike

What about bike thieves? The company has a suite of tools for theft prevention under the term Infinite Security. All Olto ebikes come with GPS and internet, so you can track yours via the companion app (iOS and Android will be available at launch). As a redundant measure, there’s a secure spot to install an AirTag for peace of mind. If someone tries to tamper with the bike, an alarm will ring and you’ll get a notification on your phone. The steering and motor also lock up, so it’d take considerable effort to move the 178-pound ebike. Much of this is powered by the secondary battery, which will keep running for 30 days if you’ve removed the primary battery from the Olto. If you’re still wary, there’s a spot to attach a U-lock on the kickstand.

Speaking of accessories, Infinite Machine has an array of first-party accessories, from a phone mount to a rear rack and kid carrier, that you can configure with the Olto when placing your order. There are also some mounting points if you want to add third-party accessories, like the mounts for a bottle cage under the seat.

Pedal or Throttle

You can turn on the Olto with the power button, an NFC tag, or use the app. Like some modern electric cars, it can auto-unlock or auto-lock based on your proximity to the device (if you want). There’s a little internal pocket on the stem with a USB-C port to charge a phone, and higher up top is a rectangular display that shows battery life, the mode the Olto is in, and the battery meter.

On the right handlebar is the twist throttle, an R button to reverse, and a Boost throttle to get a little oomph from the motor if you need it. On the left is a button for turn signals, a button to open the seat to access the battery, and a very loud horn. You can also toggle the headlight settings here between high and low beams. The Olto comes with rear-view mirrors, but they’re an optional install, and there are hydraulic disc brakes with internal wiring for a clean look.

The seat is pretty comfy and can fit two people. There are pull-out footrests for the passenger and footrests for the driver. These latter footrests can be converted into pedals if you want to put some work into your ride rather than relying on the throttle (and maybe extend the range closer to the estimated 40 miles). Converting from footrest to pedals is somewhat confusing, but once you have it down pat, it takes seconds.

The Olto has three modes: Class 2, Class 3, and Offroad. You’ll have to choose the type based on local speed laws for bike lanes. In Class 2 mode, you can go up to 20 miles per hour and have full access to the throttle. In Class 3, you can only use the pedal-assist function, but the top speed jumps to 28 mph. In Offroad, you get the full power, and the Olto can ride as fast as 33 mph. You may see localized settings for these modes based on the laws of the region you’re in.

Dijetalna gazirana pića možda ipak povećavaju rizik od dijabetesa, otkriva studija

No Comments on Dijetalna gazirana pića možda ipak povećavaju rizik od dijabetesa, otkriva studija

AKO POKUŠAVATE izgubiti kilograme, održavati zdravu težinu ili jednostavno smanjiti unos šećera, vjerojatno ste se barem jednom okrenuli dijetalnim gaziranim pićima. Na prvu to ima smisla – klasična gazirana pića puna su dodanog šećera i već su povezana s većim rizikom od srčanih bolesti, moždanog udara i kraćeg životnog vijeka.

No nova studija predstavljena na nutricionističkoj konferenciji Nutrition 2025 baca novo svjetlo na ovu naviku. Prema rezultatima istraživača, koji su ujedno objavljeni i u znanstvenom časopisu Current Developments in Nutrition, dijetalna pića možda nisu tako bezazlena kako se misli.

Kako je provedena studija?

Znanstvenici su analizirali podatke iz dugogodišnje američke studije CARDIA, koja prati zdravlje mladih odraslih osoba još od 1985. godine. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 4.654 ispitanika, s prosječnom dobi od 25 godina kada je sve počelo. Tijekom 30 godina prikupljani su podaci o prehrambenim navikama i zdravstvenom stanju ispitanika – uključujući unos umjetnih zaslađivača poput aspartama i sukraloze te unos dijetalnih napitaka.

Tijekom praćenja zabilježen je 691 slučaj dijabetesa, a dijagnoze su potvrđene mjerenjem glukoze, razine HbA1c i terapijama koje su ispitanici koristili.

Što su otkrili?

Nakon što su uzeli u obzir faktore poput dobi, spola, rase, razine tjelesne aktivnosti, prehrambenih navika i obiteljske anamneze, rezultati su pokazali:

Osobe koje su pile najviše dijetalnih pića imale su 129% veći rizik od razvoja dijabetesa u usporedbi s onima koji su ih konzumirali najmanje.

Oni koji su unosili najviše saharina, jednog od umjetnih zaslađivača, imali su 110% veći rizik od dijabetesa.

Naravno, svi znamo da je važno ograničiti unos šećera i u tom smislu dijetalna pića naizgled djeluju kao bolja opcija. No ova studija sugerira da zamjena klasičnih gaziranih pića dijetalnima možda ipak nije najzdravije rješenje. Dapače, mogla bi značajno povećati rizik od razvoja dijabetesa, što je upravo suprotno od onoga što većina očekuje.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

Umjetni zaslađivači i dalje su tema brojnih rasprava. Iako su prema FDA (Američka agencija za hranu i lijekove) “općenito priznati kao sigurni”, istraživanja o njihovom dugoročnom utjecaju, osobito na zdravlje crijeva, još uvijek nisu jednoznačna.

Treba napomenuti da ova konkretna studija nije uključivala šećerne alkohole (drugu vrstu zaslađivača), ali neka ranija istraživanja pokazala su da i oni mogu povećati rizik od krvnih ugrušaka.

Što možemo zaključiti?

Ova studija ne daje konačne odgovore, ali postavlja važna pitanja. Je li za povećani rizik kriv samo zaslađivač ili kombinacija zaslađivača i drugih aditiva u pićima? I što je s općom kvalitetom prehrane onih koji često piju dijetalna pića?

Bez obzira na to, jedno je sigurno – gazirani napici, dijetalni ili ne, nisu cjelovita hrana i ne bi trebali biti svakodnevni izbor.

Postoji li bolja alternativa?

Ako često posežete za gaziranim pićima iz navike ili zato što vam nedostaje energije, vrijedi razmisliti o zdravijim zamjenama koje mogu zadovoljiti iste potrebe. Umjesto klasične ili dijetalne gazirane vode, isprobajte prirodnu mineralnu vodu s mjehurićima – pruža sličan osjećaj u ustima, ali bez nepotrebnih aditiva.

Nezaslađeni biljni čajevi, bilo topli ili ohlađeni, također su odličan izbor, osobito ako ih obogatite aromama poput mente ili đumbira. Voda s dodatkom kriški limuna, naranče ili svježe mente može biti osvježavajuća i vizualno privlačna alternativa.

A kad vas uhvati popodnevni umor, radije posegnite za kombinacijom orašastih plodova i komadića sira – ova kombinacija zdravih masnoća i proteina pomoći će vam da dulje ostanete siti i puni energije, bez naglog pada šećera u krvi.

No Comments on Pas je išao s vlasnicom na posao. Ona snimila kako je smiješno zaspao

SLATKI Bayler, mješanac shih tzua i tulearskog psa, prvi put je išao s vlasnicom na posao i odmah se opustio, možda malo i previše. Njegova vlasnica je snimila i na Instagramu podijelila slatkog psića kako otvorenih usta spava na kauču u njezinom uredu, kao da je imao najtežu smjenu ikad.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

“Bayler je došao na posao sa mnom i uhvatila sam ga kako spava. Odmah otkaz!”, našalila se njegova vlasnica u opisu videozapisa koji je u jednom danu pogledan gotovo šest tisuća puta na ovoj popularnoj društvenoj mreži. Simpatičnog Baylera pogledajte u nastavku.

Bulgari lansirao satove s mramornim brojčanikom. Prekrasni su

No Comments on Bulgari lansirao satove s mramornim brojčanikom. Prekrasni su

Pri kreiranju rubrike Index Shopping nastojimo izdvajati odlične proizvode koji se i nama sviđaju te odlične akcije i popuste. Ne objavljujemo proizvode koje i sami ne bismo kupili ili smatramo da njihova promocija nije u skladu s profesionalnim standardima. Neki proizvodi u rubrici Index Shopping mogu biti sponzorirani.

BULGARI Bulgari sat prvi je put predstavljen 1975. godine kao poseban poklon za najvažnije klijente brenda. Ove godine slavi 50. obljetnicu, a u čast tog jubileja Bulgari je lansirao novu kolekciju satova od zlata s brojčanicima izrađenima od pravog mramora.

U kolekciji su ukupno četiri modela – dva u stalnoj ponudi i dva u ograničenoj seriji od 150 primjeraka.

Dolaze u dvije veličine

Poput kolekcije Bulgari Bulgari satova prikazane na LVMH Watch Weeku 2024., i ova nova izdanja dolaze u dvije veličine: 26 mm s kvarcnim mehanizmom te 38 mm s automatskim mehanizmom. Satovi su dostupni u 18-karatnom žutom i ružičastom zlatu, prenosi A Blog to Watch.

Novi Bulgari Bulgari satovi od 26 mm imaju brojčanike ukrašene dijamantnim oznakama sati, dok veći modeli od 38 mm nude pročišćen prikaz bez datuma, kako bi vizualno do izražaja došle prirodne šare mramora.

Svi modeli imaju safirno staklo; kvarcne verzije od 26 mm dolaze s punim poklopcem kućišta i vodootpornošću do 30 m, a automatske verzije od 38 mm imaju prozirni stražnji poklopac i vodootpornost do 50 m.

Dva modela od ružičastog zlata s plavim mramornim brojčanicima ulaze u stalnu ponudu. Manji model (ref. 104191) donosi svijetlu nijansu plave Azzurro Infinito, dok veći (ref. 104113) dolazi s tamnijim brojčanikom Blu Incanto. Oboje su upareni s kožnim remenom od aligatora u odgovarajućoj nijansi.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

Poseban detalj kod ograničenih modela

Ograničeni modeli od žutog zlata (ref. 104111 i 104112) ističu se zelenim brojčanicima od mramora Verde Alpi i tamnozelenim kožnim remenom od aligatora.

Poseban detalj je i okvir – umjesto uobičajenog dvostrukog natpisa “Bvlgari”, ovdje je ugraviran natpis “Bvlgari Roma”, kao hommage prvom modelu iz 1975. Na stražnjoj strani ovih ograničenih modela nalazi se i gravura koja obilježava 50. obljetnicu, iako satovi nisu pojedinačno numerirani niti posebno označeni kao limitirani.

Manje verzije od 26 mm pokreće švicarski kvarcni mehanizam s dvije kazaljke, dok veće od 38 mm imaju automatski kalibar BVL 191 Solotempo, s rezervom snage od 42 sata.

Cijena

Iako su modeli od žutog zlata sa zelenim mramornim brojčanicima dostupni u ograničenoj seriji od 150 primjeraka, njihova cijena ostaje jednaka kao kod modela od ružičastog zlata s plavim brojčanicima, koji su u stalnoj ponudi. Kvarcni modeli od 26 mm stoje 13.500 eura, a automatski od 38 mm 18.000 eura.

Load More

South Africa National Cricket Team vs Australia National Cricket Team Live Score Updates: Day 1 at the ICC World Test Championship 2025 final match was a plethora for the ace pacers of both the South Africa national cricket team and the Australia national cricket team. Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jansen, the two prime fast bowlers looked to be at the top of their game, scalping a total of eight wickets. Check the South Africa National Cricket Team vs Australia National Cricket Team match scorecard here.  Rabada picked up a five-wicket haul. The Aussies looked clueless while batting first, getting bundled for a mere 212. The Proteas were no good either, making for just 22 overs before stumps, and losing almost half of their wickets. Mitchell Starc Becomes Highest Wicket-Taker in ICC Tournament Finals, Achieves Feat During SA vs AUS ICC WTC 2025 Final.

South Africa cricket team are 43/4 at the end of Day 1. Their skipper Temba Bavuma and David Bedingham will start day 2 from where they left. The Proteas are still trailing by 169 runs, and the Aussies will surely be in full mood to scalp early wickets, hindering any partnership to be built, so that they take a first-innings lead. Day 2 will be extremely crucial for both sides at the Lord’s Cricket Ground in London, as it would very much set the tone and give edge to a team over the other in the ICC WTC 2025 final. It would also be interesting to see what the surface offers, if it’s the same attention to the pacers or some flatness for batters to play long.

Meta rolls out AI-powered video editing across apps and web: How the feature works, eligibility and more

Post author By admin

Post date June 12, 2025

No Comments on Meta rolls out AI-powered video editing across apps and web: How the feature works, eligibility and more

Meta has announced the rollout of a new generative AI video editing feature, now available on the Meta AI app, Meta.AI website, and the Edits app. The tool is aimed at simplifying video editing for users without professional experience, allowing them to transform short-form videos using a selection of pre-set AI prompts.

The launch is part of Meta’s broader effort to integrate AI-driven content creation tools across its platforms. Inspired by its Movie Gen models, the current offering allows users to apply a variety of transformations to 10-second segments of their videos. The edits can alter elements such as clothing, location, and visual style, offering an accessible entry point for personal and creative video customisation.

Users can upload videos directly through the Meta AI app, Edits app, or the Meta.AI website. From there, they can choose from over 50 prompts to apply to their video clip. The transformation options range from stylised effects—like converting footage into a graphic novel or vintage comic book—to atmospheric changes, such as turning a gloomy outdoor scene into a dreamy, soft-focus visual complete with sparkles and colour filters.

Another preset allows for a gaming-inspired transformation, adding video game-style visuals and character designs, including neon lighting and battle-themed outfits. The edits are rendered by Meta AI and made available for free for a limited time, although users can only transform up to ten seconds per video during the trial period.

Once edited, videos can be shared directly to Meta’s social platforms, including Facebook and Instagram, via the Edits and Meta AI apps. The Meta.AI web version also allows for publishing to the Discover feed, expanding the reach of user-generated content within Meta’s ecosystem.

The company says it has collaborated with content creators to develop prompt styles that resonate with digital audiences. The tool is being positioned not only as a creative outlet for casual users but also as a production aid for social media influencers and video creators looking to streamline their workflows.

Available in the United States and more than a dozen other countries, the feature marks Meta’s initial foray into consumer-facing AI video editing. According to the company, more advanced functionality is planned for later this year, including the ability to customise video edits using free-form text prompts.

Musical revolutionaries Sly Stone and Brian Wilson leave life’s stage nearly simultaneously

No Comments on Musical revolutionaries Sly Stone and Brian Wilson leave life’s stage nearly simultaneously

Stone’s skills came in creating a musical world that others only dreamed of at the time. The Family Stone was an integrated world — Black and white, men and women — and the music they created was a potent mixture of rock, soul and funk. It made you move, it made you think.

For a period of time from 1967 to 1973, their music was inescapable — “Dance to the Music,” “Everybody is a Star,” “Higher,” “Hot Fun in the Summertime,” “Sing a s Simple Song,” “Family Affair,” “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin).” Their performance at Woodstock was a milestone.

“His songs weren’t just about fighting injustice, they were about transforming the self to transform the world,” musician and documentarian Questlove, who lovingly tended to Stone’s legacy, wrote this week. “He dared to be simple in the most complex ways — using childlike joy, wordless cries and nursery rhyme cadences to express adult truths. His work looked straight at the brightest and darkest parts of life and demanded we do the same.”

From his peak, the fall was hard. Years of drug abuse took its toll. Periodic comeback attempts deepened a sense of bewilderment and pity.

In a world where many musical icons died young, each endured

Music is littered with stories of sudden, untimely and early deaths. Yet until this week, both men lived on, somewhat improbably passing average life expectancies.

Wilson, by many measures, achieved some level of peace late in life. He had a happy marriage. He was able to see how his music was revered and appreciated and spent several years performing it again with a younger band that clearly worshiped him. It was a postscript not many knew, said journalist Jason Fine, who befriended Wilson and made the 2021 documentary, “Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road.”

“That sort of simple message he really wanted to give people through his music going back to the ‘60s — a sense of warmth, a sense that it’s going to be OK in the same way that music lifted him up from his darkness, he’d try to do for other people,” Fine told The Associated Press in an interview then. “I think now, more than earlier in his career, he accepts that he does that and that’s a great comfort to him.”

National Securities Depository to likely launch ₹3,400 crore IPO in July

No Comments on National Securities Depository to likely launch ₹3,400 crore IPO in July

NSDL’s shares in the unlisted market have surged around 50 per cent to around ₹1,200 over in the past two months

The country’s largest depository, National Securities Depository (NSDL), is gearing up to launch its initial public offering (IPO) worth around ₹3,400 crore as early as July, according to people familiar with the matter.

“The top management has started roadshows and has been engaging with investors both within and outside of Mumbai to gauge sentiment before launching the IPO. NSDL plans to come out with the public offer by late July,” said one of the sources.

IPO buzz

NSDL’s shares in the unlisted market have surged around 50 per cent to around ₹1,200 over the past two months in anticipation of the much-awaited IPO, according to dealers.

Emailed queries to NSDL did not elicit a response.

The depository had filed its draft red herring prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) in 2023 and received approval for the same in October 2024. Its rival depository, CDSL, has been listed on the bourses since 2017.

Offer revision

In May, NSDL cut its offer size to 50.15 million shares, compared to 57.26 million shares previously offered for sale in an updated draft prospectus filed with the markets regulator.

Six existing shareholders will dilute their stakes, including National Stock Exchange (NSE), IDBI Bank, and HDFC Bank. NSE will offer to sell 18 million shares, or 9 per cent of the 24 per cent stake it holds currently.

IDBI Bank will offload over 22 million shares, or 11 per cent stake, while State Bank of India, HDFC Bank, and Union Bank of India will cumulatively sell over 3 per cent stake in the company. Other selling shareholders will sell an aggregate 2 per cent stake. IDBI Bank and HDFC Bank currently hold 26 per cent and nearly 9 per cent stake, respectively.

The book-running lead managers for the IPO are ICICI Securities, Axis Capital, HSBC Securities and Capital Markets (India), IDBI Capital Markets & Securities, Motilal Oswal Investment Advisors, and SBI Capital Markets.

No Comments on California dining guides: Where to eat

Los Angeles can feel like a microcosm of the whole world, particularly when it comes to dining. At some point, though, the road will call. Maybe it’s a two-hour drive into the desert, or a short flight to the Bay Area, or a quiet coastal stretch where the marine layer doesn’t burn off until early afternoon. There are reasons to go — and eat — everywhere in California.

Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, Ethiopian, Syrian, Italian: As you’ll find in this guide to the 101 Best Restaurants in California, these cuisines embody who we are, and they’re only the jumping-off point. Many entries on the list include additional recommendations, and the Times has previously published deeper dives (based on my ongoing statewide reporting) into San Francisco, San Diego and Palm Springs. More will be coming.

Colorado’s $1M ‘rock house’ integrates 200-million-year-old red rocks into its design

No Comments on Colorado’s $1M ‘rock house’ integrates 200-million-year-old red rocks into its design

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

A unique property that looks like it came straight out of “The Flintstones” has hit the market in Larkspur, Colorado — and it’s turning heads.

Priced at $1 million, the two-bedroom “rock house” is unlike anything else currently for sale, experts say. It’s built around Colorado’s beloved 200-million-year-old red rocks.

Nestled around a 45-foot-high section of ancient stone, the home offers what listing agent Phillip Booghier called “an unmatched blend of architectural creativity and natural beauty,” news agency SWNS reported.

‘SPOOKY’ PROPERTY IN NATURE-DRENCHED SPOT HAS A FEW STRINGS ATTACHED

“It’s a property that captivates at every turn,” said Booghier, a global real estate adviser.

The house, listed by Booghier, isn’t just built next to the rock – it’s built directly into it.

“The dramatic rock wall isn’t a backdrop,” he said.

“It’s the centerpiece, rising through all three levels and anchoring each floor in natural grandeur.”

The massive red rock is not only a striking feature but also a structural element that defines the home’s design, SWNS noted.

“It’s a property that captivates at every turn.”

“Every space is visually and physically connected to the monolith at its core,” Booghier noted.

The integration of the natural rock was carefully executed.

“The integration was thoughtfully engineered, permitted and built to last,” Booghier said.

“Spray poly foam, epoxy and acrylic caulking [were used] to create a weatherproof, enduring bond.”

On the market for $1M, the property “transforms nature’s artistry into a one-of-a-kind architectural statement,” said the listing agent. The property has walking trails, a picnic area, a floating staircase and more. (Creative Edge Media / SWNS)

Inside, the home reflects its setting.

“The home’s design mirrors the drama of its setting,” Booghier said.

It features a floating staircase with custom iron railings, exposed beam ceilings, warm wood finishes, and “thoughtfully placed windows” that highlight natural light and expansive views.

SWNS reported that it includes private walking trails, a scenic picnic area, and Milky Way views from a private hot tub.

The setting provides “the kind of peace and serenity that feels worlds away.”

Cadillac Optiq 2025 Review: Prices, Specs, Availability

Post author By admin

Post date June 12, 2025

No Comments on Cadillac Optiq 2025 Review: Prices, Specs, Availability

“The Optiq’s algorithm minimizes your time,” Cadillac said in response, “based on your battery state and the chargers in your area. It picks the route and charge stations for fastest [travel] time. The remaining-at-destination calculations are based on models of the vehicle using traffic patterns and elevation changes along the route. Fluctuation can come from changes to traffic patterns, winds, and driver behaviors.”

Certainly a deal-breaker for some, there is no mobile-phone mirroring, so Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are entirely absent (as they are in Tesla, Rivian, and Lucid as well). Instead, drivers enter their user names and passwords into apps in the dash screen, and the car provides the connectivity over its cellular connection. For three years.

After that, owners must pay $15 per month to continue “App Access” … or revert to their phone, without the safety of having it mirrored onto the cash display. That’s on top of $25 per month for Super Cruise after its own 36-month trial. It’s all part of the billions a year in incremental “digital services revenue” carmakers have promised the financial world. Buyers are the losers here; now they must pay monthly for a feature they used to get for free.

Oh, That Rear End

This is the smallest and shortest Cadillac, and while I found the front two-thirds of the Optiq fine, the rear end was jumbled at best. There’s a kicked-up beltline over a short rear overhang, the brand’s vertical rear lights, and an odd pattern of not-quite horizontal lines on the third side windows. Cadillac’s larger SUVs and the Celestiq ultra-luxury sedan do a better and more coherent job with the same design language.

The beltline is high, and only the glass roof kept the interior from feeling claustrophobic. But, what an interior. It’s lovely, with woven-cloth fabrics, some mild bright-blue accents in the one I drove, and a handful of sustainable materials: yarn made from 100 percent recycled materials woven into patterned accent fabrics, and “PaperWood” veneer from tulip wood and recycled newspaper.

It’s also one of the quietest cars I’ve ever driven, EV or not. Passengers are treated to a calm, smooth, pleasant, and altogether nice experience inside. That makes it an easy vehicle in which to cover miles—especially with the Blue Cruise hands-off adaptive cruise control.

Interior space for four is generous, and while it may be a “compact” SUV in North American terms, three people can ride in the rear seat without hating each other. Like all GM’s EVs below the big trucks, there’s no front trunk. That’s a missed bet. It also lacks a rear wiper; Cadillac claims the airflow through its “rear flow-through spoiler channels high-velocity air” to keep the rear window clean. Sloppy spring rainstorms in upstate New York beg to differ. Cadillac also suggests using the video rear-view mirror as an alternative to glass you can actually see through.

Wait for the Hot Rod?

Acceleration of the Optiq can best be described as deliberate. It’s not slow, and “Sport” mode is punchier, if any Cadillac driver ever uses it. GM has some of the best regenerative braking and one-pedal driving algorithms in the business, and overall the Optiq is easy to drive and holds the road adequately. Its weight and damping smooth bad roads and makes potholes shallower.

But it offers absolutely none of the kick-in-the-back acceleration that sold a lot of EVs in the early years. That cues up the Optiq-V hot-rod model Cadillac has just announced. In the same compact crossover vehicle, power rises to a quoted 382h kW (519 hp) and 650 pound-feet (880 NM) of torque. In “Velocity Max ” mode, Cadillac says the Optiq-V will accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. Estimated range is 275 miles; it’ll enter production this autumn.

Najbolje i najlaganije vrste voća koje možemo jesti prije spavanja

Post author By admin

Post date June 12, 2025

No Comments on Najbolje i najlaganije vrste voća koje možemo jesti prije spavanja

KONZUMIRANJE voća prije spavanja može biti izvrstan način da utažimo glad, pružimo tijelu potrebne vitamine i minerale, a istovremeno ne opteretimo probavni sustav. Stručnjaci savjetuju da prije spavanja biramo voće koje je lako probavljivo, niskokalorično i ne uzrokuje nagle skokove šećera u krvi. U nastavku donosimo neke od odličnih izbora koje možete grickati prije odlaska na spavanje.

Banane

Banane su odličan izbor za večernji obrok jer su bogate magnezijem i kalijem – mineralima koji pomažu u opuštanju mišića i živčanoga sustava. Ovi minerali mogu smanjiti napetost i pomoći tijelu da se opusti prije spavanja. Banane sadrže triptofan, aminokiselinu koja potiče proizvodnju serotonina i melatonina, hormona koji reguliraju san. Budući da su lako probavljive, banane su idealne za večernji međuobrok, osobito ako tražite nešto lagano, ali zasitno.

Jabuke

Jabuke sadrže dosta vlakana koji pomažu u održavanju zdrave probave i osjećaju sitosti bez preopterećenja želuca. Zbog svoje niskokalorične prirode, jabuke su savršen izbor za večernji užitak. Također sadrže i antioksidanse koji podržavaju zdravlje tijela i smanjuju upalu. Iako su slatke, jabuke imaju nizak glikemijski indeks, što znači da neće uzrokovati nagle skokove šećera u krvi. Zbog vlakana jabuke mogu pomoći u lakšoj probavi, što je korisno prije spavanja.

Kivi

Kivi je voće koje je bogato vitaminom C, ali i vlaknima, što ga čini odličnim za probavu i zdravlje kože. Istraživanja su pokazala da konzumacija kivija prije spavanja može poboljšati kvalitetu sna jer kivi sadrži antioksidanse koji smanjuju oksidacijski stres i pomažu opuštanju tijela. Osim toga, kivi sadrži serotonin, koji doprinosi poboljšanju kvalitete sna. Ovo voće lagano je za probavu, pa ga možete jesti neposredno prije spavanja bez straha da će vam ometati san.

Trešnje

Trešnje su jedno od rijetkih voća koja prirodno sadrže melatonin, hormon koji regulira ciklus spavanja i budnosti. Melatonin pomaže u usklađivanju tijela s prirodnim ritmovima spavanja, što može pomoći u boljem snu. Bogate su antioksidansima koji podržavaju opće zdravlje, a njihova niska kalorijska vrijednost čini ih savršenim voćem za kasnu večeru. Zbog visokog sadržaja vode trešnje također hidratiraju tijelo, što je korisno prije spavanja.

Jagode

Jagode su odličan izbor za večernji užitak jer su lagane za probavu, bogate vitaminom C i niskokalorične. Vitamin C igra ključnu ulogu u jačanju imunološkoga sustava, a njihova prirodna slatkoća može zadovoljiti želju za nečim slatkim bez opterećenja probavnoga sustava prije spavanja. Sadrže antioksidanse koji mogu pomoći u smanjenju upala u tijelu, čineći ih zdravim izborom za noćnu užinu.

Muškarac je pokušao snimiti zeca u dvorištu, nije primijetio tko se nalazi u pozadini

Post author By admin

Post date June 12, 2025

No Comments on Muškarac je pokušao snimiti zeca u dvorištu, nije primijetio tko se nalazi u pozadini

U POKUŠAJU da zabilježi nježan i simpatičan trenutak u dvorištu svoje kuće, jedan je muškarac nenamjerno snimio dramatičan prizor iz svijeta divljih životinja. Videozapis koji je započeo kao obična snimka divljeg zeca pretvorio se u prizor koji podsjeća na dokumentarce o surovoj strani prirode.

Korisnica TikToka @haley.a.bee na svom je profilu prošli tjedan podijelila video koji joj je poslao njezin suprug. Videozapis prikazuje zeca kako sjedi u dvorištu mladog para, no u pozadini možemo vidjeti lisicu kako se polako šulja prema svom plijenu.

Kada je zec naglo odlučio potrčati prema muškarcu, lisica je istog trena krenula u napad. Zec je u panici preskočio ogradu i pojurio preko prilaza prema susjedstvu, a lisica ga je pratila u sve bržem trku.

Ova kratka, ali napeta scena dala je gledateljima jedinstveni pogled na svakodnevni život divljih životinja. Prema Newsweeku, lisice su oportunistički predatori koji će pojesti gotovo svaku životinju koju mogu uhvatiti – a u prirodi su zečevi jedan od njihovih glavnih izvora hrane. Lisice tiho vrebaju svoj plijen dok mu se ne približe dovoljno blizu da krenu u napad, najčešće s leđa kad plijen krene bježati.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

Zbog toga stručnjaci savjetuju vlasnicima malih kućnih ljubimaca, poput kunića, malih pasa i mačaka, da budu oprezni, osobito ako životinje borave u vanjskim nastambama – lisice ih mogu pokušati dohvatiti i u ograđenim prostorima. Veći psi nisu toliko ugroženi, ali oprez je uvijek preporučljiv.

TikTok video ove neplanirane scene skupio je više od 1,8 milijuna pregleda, 350 tisuća lajkova i stotine komentara.

“Majka priroda je brutalna”, napisao je jedan korisnik, dok je drugi u šali dodao: “Zootopia ovdje izgleda malo drugačije.”

“Nadam se da je zeko preživio”, napisala je jedna zabrinuta gledateljica.

Adidas se sve više ponaša poput talijanskog luksuznog brenda

No Comments on Adidas se sve više ponaša poput talijanskog luksuznog brenda

Pri kreiranju rubrike Index Shopping nastojimo izdvajati odlične proizvode koji se i nama sviđaju te odlične akcije i popuste. Ne objavljujemo proizvode koje i sami ne bismo kupili ili smatramo da njihova promocija nije u skladu s profesionalnim standardima. Neki proizvodi u rubrici Index Shopping mogu biti sponzorirani.

ADIDAS vraća još jedan svoj legendarni model iz arhive – Italia 60s. No, ove tenisice nisu izrađene na isti način kao ostali tanki trkački modeli iz adidasove ponude.

Bijelo-zelene kožne tenisice novi su adidasov model koji se ručno izrađuje u Italiji. Iza ovog para stoji vrhunska izrada, prenosi Highsnobiety. Dizajn je ostao vjeran originalu, koji je tijekom Olimpijskih igara u Rimu 1960-ih bio omiljen među sportašima.

Glavna promjena – boja

Najveća promjena je nova zelena i bijela kombinacija boja – originalno su bile plavo-bijele. Ako niste poznavatelj adidasove povijesti, ovaj će vam model izgledati kao zanimljiva mješavina retro dizajna.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

Stražnji dio tenisice Italia 60s s karakterističnim preklapanjem kože na peti može se vidjeti i na modelu adidas Tokyo, dok prednji dio i tanka potplata podsjećaju na klasične Samba tenisice.

Stižu 17. lipnja, cijena – 300 eura

Model adidas Italia 60s stiže u prodaju 17. lipnja po cijeni od 300 eura. Možete ih vidjeti ovdje.

Adidas sve više širi svoju ponudu luksuznih modela izrađenih u Italiji. Među njima su se našle i Gazelle tenisice u elegantnijem, gotovo svečanom izdanju, kao i kožne sandale nalik na Birkenstock. Osim toga, u veljači ove godine adidas je lansirao i svoju talijansku Artisanal liniju, u sklopu koje su predstavljene i Superstar tenisice s cijenom od oko 810 eura.

Iako će adidas uvijek biti poznat kao njemački sportski brend, sve se više ponaša poput talijanskog luksuznog brenda.

Are HP laptops reliable for long-term use?

Yes, HP laptops are known for their durability and consistent performance. Models like the HP Envy, Pavilion, and Spectre undergo rigorous testing and come with solid build quality, often using metal chassis. HP also offers extended warranty and support options for added peace of mind. With proper care, HP laptops can easily last 4–5 years or more. Choosing a model with good specifications and a fast SSD ensures smoother long-term performance, even as software demands grow.

Which HP laptop is best for students or professionals?

For students, the HP Pavilion series is budget-friendly yet powerful enough for everyday tasks. Professionals can opt for the HP Envy or Spectre series, which offer higher performance, lightweight design, and great displays, perfect for multitasking, presentations, and remote work. If you need a 2-in-1, the HP Spectre x360 is a top choice. Look for features like long battery life, fast SSDs, and comfortable keyboards to support long hours of use, whether you’re studying, working, or attending online meetings.

Do HP thin laptops overheat or slow down?

HP thin laptops are designed with effective thermal management systems that keep temperatures in check during regular use. While some heating is normal during heavy tasks like video editing or gaming, the latest HP models use improved fans and cooling designs to prevent performance throttling. Choosing a laptop with a good processor (Intel i5/Ryzen 5 or higher) and SSD also helps in maintaining speed. Regular cleaning and software updates will keep the laptop running smoothly and prevent overheating over time.

Factors to consider before buying HP thin laptops

Performance requirements: Choose the right processor (Intel Core i5/i7 or AMD Ryzen 5/7) based on your usage—basic tasks, heavy multitasking, or content creation. Pair it with at least 8GB RAM and SSD storage for faster speed and responsiveness.

Battery life: Thin laptops are often used on the go. Check if the HP model offers 8–12 hours of battery backup and fast charging to support work or study without frequent recharging.

Display quality: Look for Full HD or OLED displays with anti-glare coating and slim bezels. A good screen is important for video calls, streaming, reading, and long working hours.

Build and portability: Ensure the laptop is lightweight (1–1.5 kg) and durable. HP offers metal finishes in models like Spectre and Envy, which not only look premium but also last longer.

Connectivity options: Thin laptops may skip some ports. Make sure it has enough USB-C/USB-A ports, HDMI, and a headphone jack based on your accessories and workflow needs.

Budget and features: Set your budget and compare features across HP’s Pavilion, Envy, and Spectre series. Don’t forget to factor in extras like a backlit keyboard, fingerprint reader, or touchscreen.

‘I write a lot about love,’ reveals actor-singer Taaruk Raina of ‘Mismatched’ fame

Post author By admin

Post date June 12, 2025

No Comments on ‘I write a lot about love,’ reveals actor-singer Taaruk Raina of ‘Mismatched’ fame

For many, Anmol Malhotra from Mismatched could be the first image that comes to mind when they hear the name Taaruk Raina. But beyond the ‘boy next door’ image, Raina has carved himself a musical career too. Now, with his upcoming Lost & Found tour, he is all set to wow audiences in the city that first welcomed his voice. “My first ever performance was at the Humming Tree at least seven years ago. It was a brief 15-minute set of covers, but it was the first time I had sung live. So it’s really special to return here,” he reminisces.

Interestingly, the title of Raina’s tour is a metaphor that encapsulates his evolving relationship with music and self-expression. His song of the same name, which was conceptualised over a year and a half ago, serves as an emotional ode to acceptance and release. “It just kind of sums up my situation with music,” he shares, adding, “It’s about letting go and letting things happen.”

As an artiste, he wears many hats: actor, singer, songwriter, and performer. Yet he sees each role as a different outlet for the same creative force. Acting, as he notes, is more interpretive, an expression through someone else’s script, unlike music which is deeply personal. “In music, I’m baring it all. I’m not playing a part. I’m just being me,” he says. This self-expression is what he hopes to share with his audience. “I’m just trying to get my thoughts out there and make some people happy, I actually don’t care about which version of me does that, as long as it does, and every word is based on my own life. It’s exposing,” he adds.

Protest curfews wallop downtown Los Angeles restaurants

Post author By admin

Post date June 12, 2025

No Comments on Protest curfews wallop downtown Los Angeles restaurants

The Mermaid hasn’t turned a profit since Saturday.

The aquatic-themed Little Tokyo bar is typically open daily and a hub for regulars, community events and off-duty workers of the hospitality industry, all bathed in soft blue lighting meant to replicate the ocean’s waves. But the Mermaid is closing. Many restaurants and bars in downtown’s hot zones for anti-ICE protests who are coping with an 8 p.m. curfew are closing or pivoting to other business models, or trying new hours of operation to weather the fallout from ongoing unrest spurred by widespread immigration raids.

“It’s devastating,” said co-owner Arlene Roldan. “It’s ultimately going to impact us dramatically. With all the work that we’ve already put into this, it’s like a whole new bar at this point, and a whole new marketing strategy that we’re going to have to come up with.”

Little Tokyo, she said, is often the epicenter of community activism and marches. After seeing how many protesters were gathering downtown on Sunday, she and her business partner, Katie Kildow, decided not to open that evening.

They tried to reopen their bar on Monday but only made it an hour before the protests pushed almost to their door, which is located three blocks from the Metropolitan Detention Center. LAPD then closed nearby streets, and no one could access the cocktail bar. On Tuesday night Roldan heard a rumor that Mayor Karen Bass could issue a curfew, and told her staff to stay home until further notice. About an hour later, the order came. The Mermaid remained closed.

On Wednesday, the team tried something different: Reopen at noon, and close at 7 p.m. in accordance with the curfew. Now they’re trying to reach an entirely new demographic of those able to stop by for a drink during the daytime, while also communicating to regulars that the bar will only be open through 7 p.m. until the curfew lifts.

Roldan said that as an owner-operator, she feels fortunate to be in a position to make business decisions that can help staff and keep the doors open, even if it means taking on bartending shifts herself. It’s been consolation during a trying week.

“Little Tokyo was definitely hit very hard on Monday with opportunists that were looting,” Roldan said. “Some of this graffiti is a little daunting, and here people today are now boarding up their businesses. So it’s just becoming a little bit more and more bleak each day.”

Roldan is still standing with the protests, personally participating in marches during the day and offering drinks to customers who might need an escape from the disarray beyond the Mermaid’s doors.

“It seems like we’re always part of the path [of protests], so we’re offering water and a place for people to recharge and to revive,” she said. “We’re also offering a welcome drink to anyone who just needs to calm their nerves as well, because it is a very intense environment out here.”

Sampa, a nearby restaurant in the Arts District, is also toying with new daytime hours to offset business losses from the evening curfew.

Since Friday, its owners saw reservations canceled first in a trickle, then by roughly 20%. On Sunday, the modern Filipino restaurant lost at least 50% of its business, with reservations canceled. Brunch walk-ins slowed to a halt.

“I think most of our diners travel to us and they get spooked,” said co-owner Jenny Valles. “They get really scared like, ‘Well, I don’t know if I’m going to get caught up in the protests or the street closures, so we’re just going to stay away.’ While 99% of L.A. is doing fine and living their lives, people don’t realize that 1% is greatly affected by this. We are one square mile where the curfew is, and it’s really difficult.”

On Tuesday evening when Valles and her business partners — husband Peter Rosenberg and chef Josh Espinosa — learned of downtown’s 8 p.m. curfew, they canceled most of the night’s reservations and closed early to allow staff to return home safely. Now they’re pivoting their business hours, hoping that running the weekend brunch menu on weekdays and starting dinner at 3 p.m. can help them sustain.

“We’re a small business, we can’t afford to close,” Valles said. “Our strategy is just: stay open, make money where we can, make sure we keep our lights on, make sure we keep our staff on.”

Espinosa estimates that the restaurant makes 80% of its revenue between the hours of 6 and 10 p.m.; with a multi-day curfew in place, they’re concerned that they cannot afford to close for even one hour between brunch and dinner service.

“We’re dealt cards and it’s on us to make the most of it and make the best of it,” Espinosa said.

Valles said that restaurateurs she knows also carry “emotional stress” concerning the well-being of immigrant staff.

“It’s really emotionally difficult,” she said. “They are the ones that wash the dishes, they are the ones that cook, they are the ones that put food on our plates across L.A.”

Nearer to City Hall, Indian mainstay Badmaash closed due to street closures, the curfew and fallout from protests.

“We’re taking it day by day,” co-owner Nakul Mahendro said in an email. “Our main concern is the safety and well being of our staff.”

“No one wants to come downtown,” he added. “We don’t have any reservations…The business impact is tough, especially after all we’ve been through, but we’re encouraging guests to visit our Fairfax location instead.”

Camélia, one of the L.A. Times’ 101 best restaurants in Los Angeles, is closed tonight.

It barely began its dinner service on Tuesday before receiving word of the curfew, whose square-mile zone also included the French-Japanese bistro’s corner of the Arts District.

“It was a huge scramble and very stressful for the staff to try to figure out what to do in the moment,” said co-owner Courney Kaplan. “We decided today, let’s just take a day, regroup and get a sense of what our next steps are going to be.”

Via a large group text between the restaurant’s owners, chefs and managers, the team solidified their game plan. They will pivot to a new lunch service and happy hour while under curfew, operating from 12:30 to 6:30 p.m. and offering a streamlined menu of some of their most popular items: a croque Madame, the dry-aged burger, salads and beyond, with nightly happy hour specials that could include oysters and sparkling drinks.

They toyed with the idea of selling bottled cocktails or flipping part of the space to a wine shop. To Kaplan and her business partner, chef-owner Charles Namba — who also own and operate Echo Park restaurants Tsubaki and Ototo — these pivots are all too familiar.

“I’m having kind of intense flashbacks to March 2020, where we just need to try it and be flexible,” Kaplan said, “and if we need to then pivot to something else, making sure that we’re able to do that as well.”

Kaplan and Namba began to see business drop off at Camélia as soon as the protests began, with guests canceling reservations and calling with questions about how to access the restaurant with road closures.

Over the weekend, Kaplan estimates that Camélia lost roughly 40% of its revenue. As the week began the figure jumped to as much as 60%.

After facing years of financial and operational setbacks marked by slow pandemic recovery, the city’s economic fallout from entertainment-industry strikes, inflation and increases to minimum wage, the restaurant industry is seeing an onslaught of closures. In early 2025, the Altadena and Palisades fires wrought more fiscal trouble to restaurants throughout the city.

“The amount of stress that’s brought on all of our coworkers and everybody on the team is almost unprecedented,” Kaplan said, adding, “[The industry] has just taken such a beating over the past few years that I really do hope people will come back and support small businesses,” she said. “I’m just hoping for the best for our city and our community right now.”

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has issued a reminder to flyers about the foods they can and cannot bring on board planes.

TSA posted a “breakfast travel tip” on Monday on its X account, noting, “We don’t suggest leaving this delicious pastry behind.”

The post featured a photo of “The Simpsons” character Homer eating a donut pasted into the corner of a security checkline.

TSA then added a link sharing guidance for traveling with certain food items.

Sixty different food items are listed in terms of the items travelers may pack in their carry-on bag or checked luggage, with some restrictions on particular items.

“Solid food items (not liquids or gels) can be transported in either your carry-on or checked bags,” reads the TSA website.

TSA advises that travelers should separate such items “that can clutter bags and obstruct clear images on the X-ray machine.”

Even live lobsters can be packed — as long as they’re in a clear, plastic and spill-proof container.

“A TSA officer will visually inspect your lobster at the checkpoint,” reads the restriction. “We recommend that you contact your airline to determine your airline’s policy on traveling with your lobster before arriving at the airport.”

Tamales are allowed with no restrictions listed.

Coffee, creamy cheese, canned foods, gravy, ice cream and hummus are allowed to be carried on if the items weigh less than 3.4 ounces.

“Passengers flying from Hawaii, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands to the U.S. mainland cannot take most fresh fruits and vegetables due to the risk of spreading invasive plant pests,” the TSA says.

Your first job could be an ‘AI apprenticeship.’ The new entry-level playbook.

Post author By admin

Post date June 12, 2025

No Comments on Your first job could be an ‘AI apprenticeship.’ The new entry-level playbook.

The class of 2025 is entering a work world that looks dramatically different than it did even a few years ago.

Data released last week indicates the U.S. private sector may be experiencing its most significant hiring slowdown in several years. The gap between the unemployment rate for new grads and the broader labor force is at its lowest point in 40 years—a historic signal that something fundamental is shifting when it comes to entry-level work.

But this moment is about more than a chaotic macro environment and a tough job market. The real disruption is deeper. Artificial intelligence and emerging technologies are accelerating the pace of change across industries. And the Covid-19 pandemic didn’t just shift where work happens—it fundamentally changed how we think about work, collaboration, and contribution.

For new graduates, all of this change has created a complex job market and work environment. Traditional early-career paths are less defined. Expectations are shifting. The old playbook for entry-level work is being shredded. That may sound like a challenge—and it is. But it’s also an incredible opportunity.

Character is no longer a soft skill.

AI is reshaping work—quickly. PwC’s latest AI Jobs Barometer, which is based on nearly a billion job postings globally, found that roles with the highest AI exposure are evolving more than twice as fast as others. The World Economic Forum estimates that nearly 40% of workers’ current skills will either transform or become outdated by the end of the decade. And these changes may impact junior employees degrees the most.

As AI replaces or augments technical skills, entry level workers will need to emphasize their character and humanity. AI can’t build relationships or earn the trust that drives lasting impact in a workplace. Uniquely human traits like empathy and discernment are no longer just “nice to haves.” They are essential skills for employees.

This shift isn’t limited to those just starting out. It also applies to experienced employees and executives. Leaders will need to redefine performance metrics to be centered on human connection and high-quality character traits like owning outcomes, taking initiative without being asked, careful listening, asking better questions, and doing the right thing when it matters most.

Organizations that want to lead in this next chapter will need to promote that kind of human leadership at every level—starting now.

Rethink culture and talent development.

In a workplace being reshaped by AI, every company needs to take a fresh look at how talent is developed and how culture is intentionally built. The end goal should be a human-led, tech-powered culture where tomorrow’s leaders will thrive.

Companies should equip and encourage their people to develop fluency in AI and fluency in what makes us distinctly human. That means learning how to prompt, validate, and apply emerging technologies responsibly—while also building leadership and relationship skills like leading a meeting with clarity, telling a compelling story, and solving a problem from first principles.

That dual focus will require a shift in how we think about early-career roles. Increasingly, we should view these more like “AI apprenticeships,” where early-career professionals are equipped with the right AI tools and taught to use them with confidence. AI handles routine work. People handle judgment calls.

What we value in junior talent is changing, too. It’s no longer about how well someone executes a rote task. It’s about how they think, how they show character under pressure, how they apply judgment, and how they grow from one moment to the next.

That is where leadership matters most. We all need what I call a personal board of directors: people who will challenge us, offer honest feedback when it counts, and remind us to pause, reset, and ask for help when needed. Business leaders must intentionally design and build this kind of support into our workforce. And they should play a more active role in people development, coaching and developing young talent from the start.

Think and act differently.

The past five years structurally reset work. Some are still hoping for a return to “normal”—some pre-Covid, pre-AI version of reality—but there’s no going back. What we’re living through isn’t a transition: It is a transformation.

The next few years will define what the new normal looks like. And that calls for bold leadership. We can’t meet tomorrow’s challenges with yesterday’s assumptions. We have to think differently—about how teams are built, how careers are grown, and how value is created.

The workplace is being rewritten. Businesses—and this new generation of workers—must be bold enough to help write it.

Što je bolje za naša crijeva – fermentirani proizvodi ili vlakna?

Post author By admin

Post date June 11, 2025

No Comments on Što je bolje za naša crijeva – fermentirani proizvodi ili vlakna?

AKO STE ikad u Google upisali “najbolje namirnice za zdravlje crijeva”, zasigurno ste naišli na popis pun namirnica bogatih vlaknima i probioticima. Kimchi, kiseli kupus, grah, zeleno lisnato povrće – sve to hrani dobre bakterije u crijevima.

Iako ne volimo suprotstavljati zdrave namirnice, jedno se pitanje često postavlja: što je važnije za zdravlje probave – vlakna ili fermentirani proizvodi?

Prema riječima dr. Vincenta Pedrea, certificiranog internista i autora knjige The GutSMART Protocol, odgovor nije tako jednostavan, ali postoji zanimljiv uvid.

Vlakna i fermentirani proizvodi – u čemu je razlika?

Za početak, važno je znati o čemu pričamo. Vlakna su vrsta složenih ugljikohidrata koji se nalaze isključivo u biljkama, a tijelo ih ne probavlja. Upravo zato pomažu kod osjećaja sitosti, probave, ravnoteže šećera u krvi, redovitosti stolice i očuvanja zdrave ravnoteže mikroorganizama u crijevima. Namirnice bogate vlaknima uključuju heljdu, ječam, kelj, brokulu, leću i mnoge druge.

Fermentirane namirnice, s druge strane, nastaju procesom fermentacije, gdje kvasci i bakterije razgrađuju prirodne šećere u hrani. Rezultat? Namirnice bogate probioticima – onim “dobrim bakterijama”. U tu skupinu spadaju kombucha, kimchi, kiseli kupus, miso pasta i jogurt.

Ako to trebamo sažeti u jednoj rečenici: vlakna hrane dobre bakterije u crijevima, dok fermentirane namirnice povećavaju njihov broj. Obje skupine ključne su za zdravu probavu, i ne možemo reći da je jedna važnija od druge. Ipak, ako tek krećete s brigom o zdravlju crijeva, možda je bolje krenuti s fermentiranim proizvodima pa tek onda povećavati unos vlakana.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

Što kaže znanost?

U podcastu mindbodygreen, dr. Pedre spominje studiju u kojoj su istraživači usporedili osobe koje su dnevno unosile 5 do 8 porcija vlakana s onima koje su unosile 6 šalica fermentirane hrane. Rezultati? Grupa s fermentiranom hranom imala je veću raznolikost crijevnih mikroorganizama i čak 19 smanjenih biljega upale.

Grupa koja je unosila više vlakana također je imala pozitivne rezultate na imunološki odgovor i funkciju mikrobioma, ali fermentirani proizvodi imali su snažniji učinak na smanjenje upala. Drugim riječima, možda je pametno prvo “umiriti” crijeva fermentiranim namirnicama, pa ih tek onda nahraniti vlaknima.

Dr. Pedre dodaje i da ne voli što su vlakna i fermentirani proizvodi u toj studiji bili “suprotstavljeni”, bez neutralne kontrolne grupe. “Mislim da nije poanta u biranju jednih ili drugih – stvarna korist dolazi iz njihove kombinacije.”

Za kraj

Koje su najbolje namirnice za zdravlje crijeva? I dalje s punim povjerenjem preporučujemo i vlakna i fermentiranu hranu. Za optimalno zdravlje probave potrebna su oba elementa, ali ako imate problema s crijevima ili upalama, počnite s fermentiranim proizvodima.

Vlasniku nije jasno kako pas stalno bježi iz dvorišta, onda ga slučajno snimio

No Comments on Vlasniku nije jasno kako pas stalno bježi iz dvorišta, onda ga slučajno snimio

KADA žele, psi mogu biti pravi majstori i lukavci u bježanju, a jedan je stafordski bulterijer svom vlasniku često izazivao glavobolje jer mu nije bilo jasno kako bježi iz dvorišta s obzirom na visoku ogradu. Onda je jednog poslijepodneva uspio svog ljubimca snimiti na djelu, a ono što je vidio ga je iznenadilo.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

Očigledno, pas se svaki put zaleti prije nego skoči, a onda se s prednjim šapama objasi za ogradu pa se sa stražnjim odgurne i, na kraju, izađe iz dvorišta. Ovaj slatki nestašni pas mnoge je nasmijao, a ljudi se nadaju da će njegov vlasnik uspjeti smisliti rješenje kako njegov ljubimac ne bi izlazio iz dvorišta i doveo se u potencijalno opasne situacije.

Nećete vjerovati čemu su namijenjeni ovi proizvodi

No Comments on Nećete vjerovati čemu su namijenjeni ovi proizvodi

Pri kreiranju rubrike Index Shopping nastojimo izdvajati odlične proizvode koji se i nama sviđaju te odlične akcije i popuste. Ne objavljujemo proizvode koje i sami ne bismo kupili ili smatramo da njihova promocija nije u skladu s profesionalnim standardima. Neki proizvodi u rubrici Index Shopping mogu biti sponzorirani.

ČAK i uz sav napredak u njezi kože, i dalje ne posvećujemo ostatku tijela ni približno jednaku pažnju kao što to činimo s licem. Zbog toga često potpuno zanemarujemo njegu stražnjice, pogotovo kada je riječ o problemima poput akni i hiperpigmentacije.

Upravo zato je Roger Ein osnovao brend Buttface, prvi brend na svijetu s proizvodima za njegu stražnjice izrađenima prema standardima njege lica.

Piling, maska i krema

Ideja za brend nastala je kada je Ein primijetio da njegov partner koristi skincare proizvode na svojoj stražnjici, nakon čega je odlučio stvoriti proizvode posebno formulirane za njegu ovog dijela tijela.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

Brend danas ima maske i kreme za stražnjice koje štite, zaglađuju i učvršćuju kožu na njoj.

Baš kao i lice, i koža stražnjice zahtijeva nekoliko koraka kako bi se pravilno njegovala. Buttface zato ima proizvode koji se mogu koristiti komplementarno – piling koji sadrži hijaluronsku kiselinu i skvalan, masku za njegu kože i učvršćujuću kremu.

Proizvodi su trenutačno dostupni samo u SAD-u, a više možete doznati ovdje.

Acer Super ZX review: Disrupting the budget segment with bold design and strong specs

Post author By admin

No Comments on Acer Super ZX review: Disrupting the budget segment with bold design and strong specs

Acer has entered the Indian smartphone market with its budget offering, the Super ZX. The Indian budget smartphone market is already too saturated, but Acer has created a phone that is hard to beat on paper. It features an excellent design, a large high refresh rate display, a triple camera setup, and a large battery.

All this, starting at ₹9,999, looks like such a great deal. But how does the smartphone perform in real life? I tested this smartphone for a couple of weeks, and here is my experience with the Acer Super ZX.

Acer Super ZX unboxing and specifications

Acer Super ZX unboxing

Specification Details

Display 6.78-inch FHD+ IPS LCD, 120Hz refresh rate

Processor MediaTek Dimensity 6300 (Octa-core)

RAM 4GB / 6GB / 8GB

Storage 128GB (non-expandable)

Rear Camera 64MP (wide) + 2MP (macro) + 2MP (depth)

Front Camera 13MP

Battery 5000mAh, 33W fast charging

Operating System Android 15

Connectivity 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.2, USB Type-C

Price (India) Starting at ₹9,999

Acer Super ZX design and build

Acer didn’t go with flashy colour schemes or a glossy finish on the Super ZX. It looks and feels like a decent mid-range smartphone with a really nice-looking and solid polycarbonate build. The frame is all plastic-looking without any chrome finish to make it look premium, and that’s what I loved about this honest design from Acer.

Acer Super ZX Design

The back panel is also polycarbonate, but this frosty finish gives it a glass look. It keeps the fingerprints and smudges away from the phone. Its large circular camera module is inspired by modern flagships. Acer also tried to make the smartphone look modern from the front by adding a punch-hole selfie camera. The display does come with a forehead and chin as expected from a budget smartphone.

Acer Super ZX Design

The in-hand feel of the phone is also pretty good. It’s 200 grams and 8.6mm thick. It’s got the fingerprint sensor on the side with the power button for convenience. Some notable things on the phone are the stereo speakers and a headphone jack.

Acer Super ZX display

If there’s a feature that punches above the phone’s price, it’s the display. It is a 6.78-inch IPS display with FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Acer added a punch-hole instead of dewdrop notches, which is a nice touch. There are significant bezels around the display with a thick chin, but we cannot complain because this is the norm at this price.

Acer Super ZX display

When it comes to experience, the display is great for videos and other multimedia content. It is bright enough to keep the content visible outdoors under harsh sunlight. The display has some software tweaking going on to imitate the deep blacks and contrast of an OLED panel. But it’s done just right to enjoy the content without compromising the experience.

Acer Super ZX performance and software

Super ZX is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset paired with up to 8GB RAM (plus an additional virtual 8GB RAM boost). It handles every daily task with ease, with quick app launches and fluid multitasking. Casual gaming is also perfectly fine, like running BGMI or indie games.

But as soon as we switch to demanding games like Genshin, the performance significantly degrades. Well, this is expected and the target audience of this smartphone isn’t gamers, so overall the performance is good.

Acer Super ZX OS

As expected from Acer, the Super ZX comes preinstalled with the latest Android 15 with a near-stock interface. There is little to no bloatware on the smartphone. While there’s no announcement yet, we can expect timely updates since this is the first smartphone from Acer in the Indian market.

Acer Super ZX camera

The triple camera setup at the back includes a 64 MP main sensor, and 2 MP depth and macro lenses. Instead of two 2 MP sensors, the addition of a wide sensor would have been a wise decision. The 64 MP sensor performs really well. I found the colours in the pictures to be a bit oversaturated, but we cannot complain at this price and honestly, these pictures are good enough for social media.

Acer Super ZX Camera

The 13 MP selfie camera captures decent pictures with good details. For videos, the camera can go up to 2K, and there is software-based stabilisation provided, but it caps the videos at 1080p. There are multiple different camera features to play with, like night mode, pro mode, portrait and more.

Acer Super ZX sound and connectivity

To future-proof the device, Acer offers 5G connectivity with the Super ZX, and I used my Airtel 5G. The download speed came out to be similar to what I get in my area, and the call quality is also good. The addition of stereo speakers is a surprise at this price, and they are pretty loud and clear too—best for watching videos.

Acer Super ZX battery

Acer Super ZX features a 5000 mAh battery which is large enough to give you more than a day of backup with minimal usage. Power users can also get a whole day of backup with a full charge.

The charger comes inside the box and charges the smartphone at 33 watts max. Surprisingly, the charger is a PD charger and comes with a nice braided Type-C to Type-C cable. It charges the smartphone from 0 to 50 percent in half an hour.

Acer Super ZX pros and cons

Pros

Clean and solid design

Excellent 120Hz IPS display

Stereo speakers

5G connectivity

Decent camera

Fast charging

Cons

Weak indoor camera performance

Not for gamers

Mediocre selfie camera

Acer Super ZX final verdict

Acer did a commendable job at making a budget smartphone that fits Indian needs in all aspects. Also, this is the first smartphone from Acer in the Indian market. The Acer Super ZX is an easy recommendation if anyone is looking for a budget smartphone at ₹10,000 with a no-nonsense design, excellent display, good camera and a large battery.

No Comments on Broker’s call: Senco Gold (Buy)

Target: ₹431

CMP: ₹359.30

Senco Gold posted strong growth across revenue/EBITDA/PAT of 21.1/44.8/94. per cent y-o-y respectively, led by healthy wedding sales.

Management has reiterated topline growth of 18-20 per cent in FY26 and grow PAT with focus on improving diamond sales. The company targets EBITDA margin of 6.8-7.2 per cent and a PAT margin of 3.5-3.7 per cent. In a high gold price environment, management will focus on lightweight jewellery while the wedding segment contribution will continue to remain around 35-40 per cent of the overall business.

It further expects 15-20 per cent volume growth in diamonds with shift in consumer preference towards lower-purity, lightweight and diamond studded jewellery. The company aims to add 18-20 stores in FY26 with high focus on adding more franchise stores (minimum 10 franchisees and 8-10 COCO stores) with strong focus on opening stores in East India and North India.

With increasing diamond sales, the company is confident of achieving 15 per cent stud ratio in next 3-4 years.

We have done minor changes in our FY26E/FY27E PAT estimates factoring in the latest guidance and outlook on the company. We value the company at 32x of its 1-yr rolling forward EPS and keep our target price unchanged at ₹431 for 12-18 months.

Hibiscus Margarita Recipe – Los Angeles Times

No Comments on Hibiscus Margarita Recipe – Los Angeles Times

This hibiscus margarita in Carolina Pardilla’s “Margarita Time” cookbook is from winner of the Tales of the Cocktail Pioneer Award, and author of “Tiki: Modern Tropical Cocktails,” bartender Shannon Mustipher, who wanted to create a hibiscus cocktail as a nod to her hometown of Charleston, S.C.

There, the flowers grow along the coast and are traditionally used to make a red drink or tea, similar to West African bissap and Caribbean sorrel. Since jamaica (hibiscus) is enjoyed as an agua fresca in Mexico, mixing it with the agave spirit was logical. Now this hibiscus margarita with its tangy, cranberry-like flavors, is her go-to riff on the classic cocktail.

Civil War Confederate soldier skeletons have been discovered at Colonial Williamsburg

No Comments on Civil War Confederate soldier skeletons have been discovered at Colonial Williamsburg

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Archaeologists recently announced the discovery of skeletons at Colonial Williamsburg – but the skeletons weren’t from the Revolutionary War.

The remains were found while excavators searched around the grounds of a Revolutionary War-era gunpowder magazine, or storage facility, according to The Associated Press. (See the video at the top of this article.)

Near the building, archaeologists were taken aback when they uncovered the eye sockets of a human skull – and then four human skeletons, plus three amputated legs.

SECOND-OLDEST UNIVERSITY IN NATION REPORTS ‘REALLY NEAT’ ARCHAEOLOGY FIND ON ITS GROUNDS

Rather than dating back to colonial America, the four skeletons are from Civil War times. The soldiers died during the Battle of Williamsburg while fighting for the Confederacy in 1862, according to local historians.

The skeletons were found with their arms crossed. Interestingly, they were not buried in their uniforms – rather, they were found in more comfortable clothes, and archaeologists uncovered buttons and a trouser buckle.

The graves were aligned east-west, with the head at the west end and the feet at the east end, a burial tradition commonly associated with Christianity.

Since the discovery, historians have determined that a makeshift hospital once operated nearby to treat wounded Confederate soldiers.

VETERAN-LED DIG OF REVOLUTIONARY WAR BATTLEFIELD SEEKS TO SHED LIGHT ON HISTORY, EMPOWER DISABLED VETS

Although the remains were found in 2023, Colonial Williamsburg officials didn’t announce the discovery until this month.

Archaeologists are working to identify the soldiers — whose identities are unknown.

“Everyone deserves dignity in death. And being stored in a drawer inside a laboratory does not do that.”

Researchers have narrowed down the possible identities of four men who served in regiments from Alabama, Louisiana, South Carolina and Virginia, but are withholding the names until they have confirmation.

Jack Gary, Colonial Williamsburg’s executive director of archeology, told the Associated Press that the discovery came together when they found lists of hospital patients in the archives.

“It is the key,” Gary noted.

Last week, the bodies were reinterred at a local burial ground where other Confederate soldiers were buried.

Mumbai, Jun 11 (PTI) With just 23.9 per cent of employers offering full sponsorship for upskilling, 46 per cent of employees chose to self-fund their recent learning initiatives, a report said on Wednesday.

The TeamLease Edtech report – Impact of Upskilling on Performance Appraisals – has revealed that only 23.9 per cent of employers offered to sponsor upskilling of their employees, however, 46 per cent of professionals chose to self-fund their most recent learning initiatives.

“The professionals who take the initiative, especially those who invest in their learning, stand to gain not just skills but also recognition, responsibility, and real career momentum. For organisations, this is a wake-up call to invest more strategically in structured upskilling paths that align with performance cycles. For employees, they need to act now, learn smartly, and think long-term,” TeamLease Edtech founder and CEO Shantanu Rooj said, quoting the report.

The report is based on a survey of over 14,000 professionals across various functions and industries pan-India.

The report further found that around 84 per cent of professionals reported engaging in some form of upskilling over the past year, driven by long-term career planning and a desire for future readiness.

More than 64 per cent of professionals reported a direct positive impact of upskilling on their appraisal outcomes.

Interestingly, the report also found that 42 per cent witnessed promotions, salary hikes or enhanced roles within just 18 months of completing their upskilling, reinforcing the role of learning as a short-to-mid-term lever for growth.

Timing has also emerged as a key factor, with over 40 per cent of respondents stating that they intentionally pursued upskilling closer to appraisal cycles to maximise visibility and impact, according to the report.

The report revealed that professionals from Technology and Finance backgrounds showed the highest self-upskilling rates (78.3 per cent), often without organisational learning support.

In contrast, 80 per cent of Sales and Marketing respondents preferred short-term certifications and online tutorials, emphasising the growing relevance of just-in-time, low-cost learning formats tailored for immediate application, added the report.

8 Best Cordless Vacuums for Your Whole House (2025)

No Comments on 8 Best Cordless Vacuums for Your Whole House (2025)

Honorable Mentions

We haven’t tried a vacuum yet that we absolutely hate. These ones below are solid vacuums, and in some cases are much cheaper than our top picks, but we didn’t like them as much.

Bissell IconPet Turbo Edge for $200: Bissell’s OG stick vacuum is a popular model that’s been around for a while. It does a good job picking up hair and cat litter, and easily turns into a handheld vac, too. The battery lasts a little longer, but former WIRED reviewer Medea Giordano wasn’t impressed by its Cheerio-gathering skills, and it can’t stand up on its own.

Dirt Devil Power Swerve Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum for $93: We previously recommended this as a budget pick. It’s a good vacuum for the money, but there are mixed results on how long the battery will last and the build quality.

Dyson V12 Detect for $580: The V12 Detect (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is one to consider if you want something even slightly cheaper and lighter than the V15 (though it’s not as powerful and has a smaller bin).

Eufy Robot Vacuum 3-In-1 E20 for $400: WIRED reviewer Adrienne So was stoked to try Eufy’s E20 (8/10, WIRED Reviews) that is a stick vacuum, handheld vacuum, and robot vacuum all in one. It’s a handy, well-designed device, but it’s only good for light cleaning.

Eureka Innova Cordless Stick Multi-Surface Vacuum for $207: This is a good stick vacuum at a reasonable price. It cleaned up a litter mat especially well, and there are specific carpet and hardwood settings. However, to suck up larger pieces like Cheerios, I had to lift the vacuum up and place it directly on top of them.

Greenworks Powerall 24V Cordless Stick Vacuum for $288: I liked this stick vac’s LED screen to let me know what power level I was on and how much battery power I had left based on the power level I was using. It comes with a nice array of attachments, and has a battery like a power tool which makes it top-heavy.

Hoover OnePwr Emerge Pet for $153: Our tester said that this wasn’t a bad vacuum in regular mode, but the attachments felt flimsy with weak suction power. Otherwise, it got the job done.

Mova S1 Detect Cordless Vacuum for $299: This is a nice stick vacuum that comes with a nice set of attachments, and it worked well in my home. Our top pick can do a similar job for cheaper, though, and it takes a considerable effort to place the canister back into place when you empty it.

Proscenic P13 Cordless Vacuum for $130: Our tester was amazed how well the green light on this vacuum illuminated dust and dirt. It was almost gross to see how much goes unnoticed in regular lighting. However, it required many passes to actually clean most of that debris. For the price, it’s not bad as an untethered day-to-day vacuum, but you’ll definitely need a more powerful upright vacuum for deeper cleans.

Tineco Go Pet Cordless Vacuum for $300: WIRED reviewer Molly Higgins tested this vacuum for pet hair, and she was left underwhelmed with the experience. It’s a solid vac, but we recommend better options.

Worx 20V Cordless Stick Vacuum for $160: This is a fine enough vacuum, but the dustbin was difficult to clean out compared to others I tested.

How We Tested

The best way to test a vacuum is to use it like you usually would. So, for a few months, we lived with these cordless vacuums, rotating through them to handle day-to-day messes and weekly deep cleans on hardwood floors, area rugs, and carpets. We charged them, asked our partners to use them, and even took some to a retail store to clean up after antique furniture and heavy foot traffic.

We also performed head-to-head testing, comparing how each picked up piles of Cheerios and cat litter, seeing if they blew debris around or needed several passes. We also took heaps of already matted dust and dirt from inside the vacuum bins to see how easily the vacuums could suck them back up in their thickened state.

Ako želite brinuti o zdravlju probave, iz života izbacite ove loše navike

Post author By admin

Post date June 11, 2025

No Comments on Ako želite brinuti o zdravlju probave, iz života izbacite ove loše navike

PROBAVNI sustav ima ključnu ulogu u razgradnji hrane, apsorpciji hranjivih tvari i jačanju imuniteta. Iako o njemu često ne razmišljamo dok sve funkcionira kako treba, svakodnevne navike mogu ozbiljno narušiti njegovu ravnotežu. Rezultat mogu biti nadutost, zatvor i općenito loša probava. Dijetetičari su za portal Health Shots podijelili najčešće navike koje mogu negativno utjecati na zdravlje crijeva i koje bi za njihovo zdravlje trebalo smanjiti ili u potpunosti prestati raditi.

Cjelodnevno grickanje

Neprestano jedenje, bez pravih pauza između obroka, ne ostavlja probavnom sustavu dovoljno vremena da obradi hranu. Takvo preopterećenje može uzrokovati nadutost i probavne tegobe jer crijeva nemaju priliku za odmor i obnovu.

Previše kofeina

Prekomjeran unos kofeina, osobito iz kave, može nadražiti želučanu sluznicu. Kofein potiče i pojačano lučenje kiseline u želucu, što može dovesti do žgaravice, nelagode i otežane probave.

Nedovoljan unos tekućine

Voda je ključna za kretanje hrane kroz probavni trakt. Ako ne pijemo dovoljno tekućine, može doći do zatvora i usporene probave. Hidratacija pomaže u održavanju ravnoteže u crijevima i boljem radu probave.

Pretjerano žvakanje žvakaćih guma

Žvakanjem žvakaćih guma gutamo višak zraka, što povećava rizik od plinova i nadutosti. Osim toga, mnoge žvakaće gume bez šećera sadrže umjetne zaslađivače koji mogu dodatno iritirati želudac, pišu iz Health Shots.

Nedostatak probiotika u prehrani

Probiotici su korisne bakterije koje pomažu u održavanju ravnoteže crijevne mikroflore. Ako ih ne unosimo dovoljno putem hrane ili dodataka prehrani, štetne bakterije mogu prevladati, što može dovesti do probavnih smetnji.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

Jedenje pod stresom

Brzo jedenje ili jedenje u stresnim situacijama otežava probavni proces. Tijelo tada nije usmjereno na probavu, što može uzrokovati osjećaj nelagode, nadutost i plinove. Svjesno i polagano jedenje olakšava rad crijeva.

Odgađanje odlaska na toalet

Ignoriranje potrebe za obavljanjem nužde može dovesti do zatvora. Ako se ta navika ponavlja, može se poremetiti prirodni ritam rada crijeva, što dodatno pogoršava probavne probleme.

Manjak sunčeve svjetlosti

Sunčeva svjetlost potiče proizvodnju vitamina D, koji ima važnu ulogu u zdravlju crijeva. Niska razina vitamina D povezuje se s neravnotežom u crijevnoj mikroflori i većim rizikom od upala.

Pušenje

Pušenje negativno utječe na čitav organizam, uključujući i probavni sustav. Može uzrokovati refluks kiseline, nastanak čireva te poremetiti ravnotežu korisnih bakterija u crijevima.

KADA je Ulysse Nardin Freak X prvi put predstavljen 2019. godine, bio je zamišljen kao pristupačnija verzija vodećeg modela brenda, sata Freak, koja je sažela osnovnu srž Freaka, ali ga učinila cjenovno pristupačnijim. No serija Freak X u međuvremenu je rasla i više nije samo povoljnija verzija Freaka, već još jedan kolekcionarski primjerak.

Brend je ove godine predstavio Ulysse Nardin Freak X Gold Enamel, koji kombinira kućište od ružičastog zlata s plavim emajlom.

Sat će biti dostupan u samo 120 primjeraka

Kućište ima promjer od 43 mm i debljinu od 13.38 mm, a arhitektura kućišta slijedi dizajn ostalih Freak X modela, sa safirnim kristalima postavljenima na obruč (bezel) i stražnji poklopac.

Bengaluru BTS fans celebrate the band’s return from military

No Comments on Bengaluru BTS fans celebrate the band’s return from military

Party time with ARMYs

Fan groups like Little Sarang Events and BTS Bangalore ARMY have hosted a range of events from meetups to BTS-themed Halloween parties and DJ nights, keeping Bengaluru’s ARMY community together through the hiatus. For this Festa, marking the band’s 12th anniversary, these two groups have something special planned.

As Bhargavi R, the admin of BTS Bangalore ARMY explains, there’s nothing quite like a BTS live concert. So, she has planned to recreate the experience in Bengaluru, with a ‘BTS Comeback Party’ on June 22 at Church Street Social. “What pulls ARMYs together is vibing to and streaming BTS’ songs which feels so much better with other fans around you. With every song, there’s also a concert performance, making it more attractive because of the dance and choreography. Since we’ve been missing their concerts for three years, we’ve made this special concert film combining clips from 12 years of concerts which ARMYs can enjoy.”

Little Sarang Events has taken things to the next level this year on 20th July at Downtown Taproom, Residency Road, planning screenings, games and activities, and a chance to dress up. Sneha Gowda, the co-founder of the group explains, “We’ll be screening BTS’ ‘Yet to Come’ concert, their last performance before enlisting – a moment full of emotion and meaning. There will be fun games and activities based on BTS’s journey. We’ve also invited ARMYs to dress up as their favourite BTS era. The day will end with a fashion walk showcasing those iconic looks”

Over the years, both organisers have noted that a dedicated group of fans has made it a priority to continue attending events and keeping the community alive. Bhargavi notes, “I initially started with 25 ARMYs coming to events. At the next event, there were 35, then 45, and it’s been growing. While most are between 15 to 35 years old, I’ve also had 7-year-olds and 50-year-olds come to events and I’m always surprised by the diversity of our fandom!”

No Comments on Arugula Salad with Egusi Granola, Sorghum and Sherry Vinaigrette Recipe

This is my go-to salad for any dinner party, not only because it’s refreshing, but also because it utilizes an important ingredient. Sorghum is a cereal grain that is crucial to food security in Ghana because it’s a versatile crop that can withstand different climates and harsh weather conditions, like drought or a dry season. Primarily grown in the northern region, sorghum is used to make porridge, fermented drinks, popular dishes like waakye and so much more. Sweet sorghum syrup, made from the juice of the sorghum plant, is a thick, dark syrup that is similar in taste to molasses and is the base for the vinaigrette used in this salad. Goat cheese, pickled onions and egusi and coconut granola add creamy, sharp and nutty flavors.

Mysterious grave of woman and girl from 400 B.C. discovered in idyllic German town

No Comments on Mysterious grave of woman and girl from 400 B.C. discovered in idyllic German town

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Archaeologists recently uncovered a mysterious grave in an idyllic German town with clues that hint at a tragic story.

The findings were announced by the German town of Vaihingen an der Enz in a recent press release. The town is located in Baden-Württemberg, a German state known for its scenic landscapes and natural beauty.

In the announcement, local officials said a months-long excavation yielded hundreds of archaeological discoveries. The excavation began in Sept. 2024 and wrapped up in April, ahead of the construction of a future industrial park called Wolfsberg IV.

STRANGE VIKING GRAVE WITH ‘CHRISTIAN OVERTONES’ DISCOVERED BY PERPLEXED ARCHAEOLOGISTS: ‘VERY UNUSUAL’

The most haunting discovery was the grave of a woman and young girl dating back to 400 B.C. Both of the decedents, officials said, wore jewelry from the Celtic period of German history, which was roughly between 600 and 200 B.C.

“The girl had two bronze arm rings, the woman a necklace with blue glass beads threaded on iron wire,” said the statement, which was translated from German to English.

“These beads could have been easily made many millennia earlier – provided one had the necessary knowledge.”

The arrangement of the skeletons suggests the bodies were “dumped,” a historian said.

ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNCOVER ANCIENT ‘CITY OF THE DEAD’ IN ITALY: ‘PERFECTLY PRESERVED’

The child was found “[lying] over the woman’s leg, limbs outstretched,” the release indicated.

“What exactly might have happened to them, even experts can only speculate,” the town said.

“Perhaps they suffocated due to fermentation gases that developed during the decomposition of the [organic materials] in the pit.”

Felicitas Schmitt, a historian from the State Office for Monument Preservation in the Stuttgart Regional Council, said the grave indicated far from a respectful burial.

“Here, we are not talking about a burial,” she noted. “The two were dumped, rather than laid to rest with dignity.”

The female adult skeleton was found with beads dating back to the Celtic period of German history, which was roughly between 600 and 200 B.C. (State Office for Monument Preservation in the Stuttgart Regional Council)

She observed, “Perhaps they suffocated due to fermentation gases that developed during the decomposition of the [organic materials] in the pit.”

The grave was just one of 1,100 discoveries found during the excavation, according to town officials.

Some of the findings were as old as 7,000 years.

Eight other graves were found, in addition to a cooking pit, some remains of longhouses and various ceramics. Tools and jewelry were also unearthed.

“In addition to the nine graves, several longhouses up to 20 meters long from the Middle Neolithic period were uncovered,” the town’s statement said.

“Particularly interesting for researchers is the cooking pit made of clay and stones, presumably from the early Iron Age (800 to 450 BC).”

Officials also said they uncovered an exceptionally well-preserved axe next to a skeleton, dating back around 5,000 years ago.

“At first glance, it might seem like it came from the hardware store across the street,” the release said. “But the axe head is not made of metal, but of elaborately polished stone!”

In contrast to the grave with the two females, archaeologists do not believe the man died violently; rather, the axe was likely left as a grave offering.

While they were interested in the findings, local officials weren’t shocked by them overall.

The general area is known for Neolithic finds, so excavators expected to dig up some history.

“[The findings] contribute to further deciphering the history of the city and preserving the cultural heritage of the region,” the press release noted.

6 Best Organic Sheets (2025), Tested and Reviewed

Post author By admin

No Comments on 6 Best Organic Sheets (2025), Tested and Reviewed

What to Look for in Organic Sheets

Organic means many things. It’s often used to confirm that food was grown without toxic pesticides and chemicals, and doesn’t have things like growth hormones or GMOs, in order to label it as organic food. For bedding, it should mean both that organic materials were used to make the fabric—no toxic pesticides used in farming, etc.—and that they were produced organically with nontoxic chemicals.

You’ll want at least two certifications to prove this. Most sheets have a Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification to certify that the material sourced is organic (it’ll say organically grown cotton, for example, but should have a certification to back it up), and you’ll usually see either an Oeko-Tex or a Made Safe certification certifying that the process to make them was a safe and nontoxic one. If you only see an Oeko-Tex certification, that means they were manufactured organically, but not sourced organically. You’re more likely to see a sole Oeko-Tex certification than any others, which is still a good certification, but not enough to be a fully organic bedsheet.

Is it the same as eco-friendly? It depends on what eco-friendly means to you. Some processes are more eco-conscious, like lyocell’s process over nylon and rayon based on chemical output, but producing anything has costs on the planet. These organic certifications usually only confirm toxicity and chemicals included, not necessarily how much waste was left over or whether the chemicals can be reused.

Honorable Mentions

There are a lot of great organic sheets out there. Here are a few more organic bedding sets we tested and liked.

Boll & Branch Signature Sheet Set for $279: Boll & Branch’s Signature sheets use GOTS-certified cotton and have an Oeko-Tex certification. These sheets also level up the sateen weave from a three-over-one pattern to a four-over-one pattern. I tested the textured stripe pattern, which still felt breathable even with the heavier weave, though not as soft as a regular sateen sheet since it had the extra texture.

Coyuchi Flannel Sheets for $278: These organic bedsheets are fantastic and soft, and are made from 100 percent GOTS-certified organic cotton (except for the stripe pattern, which uses a mix of recycled cotton and GOTS-certified cotton). The Boll & Branch flannel is a little softer, but Coyuchi’s sheets are a little cheaper if you want to save a few bucks.

Ettitude Luxe CleanBamboo Sateen+ Sheets for $400: Ettitude’s Luxe bamboo sheets promise that they’re Ecocert organic and use 100 percent FSC Certified Bamboo, and are Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified. I found them a little heavy for my liking as a hot sleeper, but they’re a fantastically soft and silky set that’s organic.

Not Quite Organic

Avocado Natural Linen Sheets for $549: These linen sheets are some of the heaviest and most expensive we’ve tried. These linen sheets will likely last you many years, thanks to the heavy weight, and will get softer with every wash. These sheets were previously GOTS-certified, but now are only Oeko-Tex certified, which is why they aren’t a pick. Avocado doesn’t list them as organic anymore due to this.

Quince Bamboo Sheet Set for $130: These affordable bamboo sheets from Quince claim to use 100 percent viscose from organic bamboo, but only have an Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification that proves no toxic chemicals were used, not the source of the bamboo itself. They’re a nice, soft set, but they don’t have all the certifications we look for in organic sheets. We’ve reached out to Quince to ask whether they have any certifications to prove the bamboo is organic.

Quince Sateen Sheet Set for $100: Similar to the bamboo set above, these sheets are marketed as 100 percent bamboo but only have an Oeko-Tex certification, which only confirms that the chemicals are nontoxic. We’ve reached out to Quince to ask whether they have any certifications to prove the cotton is organic.

Sedam proteina koji pomažu u snižavanju šećera u krvi

Post author By admin

Post date June 10, 2025

No Comments on Sedam proteina koji pomažu u snižavanju šećera u krvi

STABILNA razina šećera u krvi ne brine samo one s dijabetesom – korisna je za svakoga tko želi više energije, manje umora i manje naglih napada gladi. Hrana bogata šećerima i jednostavnim ugljikohidratima, poput slastica i bijelog kruha, može uzrokovati brze oscilacije šećera, što s vremenom povećava rizik od inzulinske rezistencije i kroničnih bolesti.

Umjesto toga stručnjaci savjetuju veći fokus na kvalitetne izvore proteina. Oni pomažu u održavanju sitosti, stabilnoj energiji i zdravoj tjelesnoj težini. Ako želite bolje kontrolirati šećer u krvi, donosimo vam sedam namirnica koje vrijedi dodati na popis za kupovinu.

1. Jaja

Jedno veliko jaje ima oko 6 grama proteina i vrlo malo ugljikohidrata. Osim toga, bogato je vitaminima i mineralima poput B12, kolina i vitamina A. Jaja ne izazivaju nagli skok šećera i odličan su izbor za doručak.

2. Losos

Masna riba poput lososa nema ugljikohidrata, a obiluje proteinima i omega-3 masnim kiselinama koje štite srce i mozak. Oko 85 grama lososa ima više od 22 grama proteina.

3. Goveđi odrezak

Sirloin odrezak (s odrezane slabine) bogat je ne samo proteinima već i željezom, cinkom, vitaminom B12 i ostalim važnim nutrijentima. Kvalitetna govedina dobra je opcija za one koji žele osjećaj sitosti i više energije.

4. Svježi sir

U samo pola šalice nalazi se oko 13 grama proteina. Svježi sir sadrži kalcij, vitamin A i fosfor, a ne izaziva veliki porast šećera u krvi. Dobro se slaže s voćem ili povrćem i lako ga je uključiti u jelovnik.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

5. Maslac od kikirikija

Dvije žlice donose skoro 8 grama proteina. Odaberite onaj bez dodanog šećera – samo kikiriki i sol. Umjesto kruha, kombinirajte ga s mrkvom ili celerom za zdrav međuobrok.

6. Pileći bataci

Tamno meso bataka sadrži više okusa i čak 25 grama proteina po komadu. Osim toga, bogato je kolinom, koji je važan za zdravlje mozga, mišića i živčanog sustava.

7. Miješani orašasti plodovi

Orašasti plodovi (uključujući i kikiriki) sadrže proteine, vlakna i zdrave masti. Već mala porcija može pomoći u kontroli apetita i šećera. Ako brojite ugljikohidrate, prednost dajte orasima, pekan orasima i makadamiji.

Kombiniranje proteina s ugljikohidratima može ublažiti nagle skokove šećera nakon obroka. Uključivanje proteina poput jaja, piletine, lososa ili orašastih plodova u svaki obrok pomoći će vam da se osjećate bolje, stabilnije i dugoročno zdravije.

From Panipuri to ‘I Do’: How WeddingWire India Turned a Serendipitous Love Story Into a Rs 15 Lakh Dream Wedding

Post author By admin

Post date June 10, 2025

No Comments on From Panipuri to ‘I Do’: How WeddingWire India Turned a Serendipitous Love Story Into a Rs 15 Lakh Dream Wedding

New Delhi, June 10: What began as a light-hearted encounter at a Panipuri stall turned into a love story that unfolded naturally over tea, laughter, and quiet connection. Samrudhi Tompe and Mohesh Patel had always imagined a simple wedding—intimate, budget-friendly, and full of love. But one late-night scroll on Instagram changed everything. On a whim, they entered the WeddingWire India Dream Wedding contest—and won ₹15 lakhs. With that surprise windfall, their humble celebration transformed into a magical, personalized affair complete with resort vibes, custom decor, and a full-circle Panipuri-inspired food experience. Here’s how WeddingWire India brought their dream wedding to life.

1. How did you both meet, and what was your love story leading up to the proposal?

Well, you could say it all started with Panipuri! We randomly bumped into each other at a Panipuri stall — I was bossing him around, telling him to try Panipuri before Mastani. He just smiled and went along with it. Funny enough, we actually knew each other through college friends, but life had us reconnect 8 years later on Instagram.

What started as casual tea and coffee meetups quickly turned into something we both didn’t see coming. We laughed a lot, bonded over life, and somewhere along the way, without even realizing when, we just fell in love. There was no grand proposal moment—it just naturally became “us.”

2. What were your initial plans for the wedding before the giveaway happened?

We were planning to keep it super simple. A small wedding, limited decor, and just focusing on being with our loved ones without going overboard. We had our fair share of budget constraints and thought we’d skip the “extra” stuff to keep things manageable.

3. When did you first hear about the WeddingWire India Dream Wedding contest, and what made you enter?

I came across the WeddingWire India Dream Wedding contest while scrolling on Instagram (like we all do at 2 AM!). I wasn’t even sure I’d win, but I thought, “Why not? Let’s just give it a shot.” And look where that random decision took us!

4. What was your reaction when you found out you had won ₹15 lakhs for your wedding?

Oh my God, I literally didn’t believe it at first. I thought it was a prank or maybe a spam call! It took me a while to let it sink in. I was calling everyone to share the news and I was at airport about to board a flight. at the same time—it was such a surreal moment. It felt like the universe was really rooting for us.

5. *Were there any unique elements or themes you were able to add thanks to the giveaway support?*

Yes, absolutely! Because of the giveaway, we were able to create a dreamy decor setup that we imagined. We got to customize small, meaningful details that made our wedding feel so “us”—like personalized favors and little quirky signages that captured our story.

6. What vendors or experiences did you choose that you wouldn’t have considered otherwise?

Honestly, a resort stay wedding was one the thing we thought was out of our league initially. But thanks to the giveaway, we didn’t have to compromise. We got a super fabulous venue which was such a vibe and totally added that extra sparkle!

7. *What was the most extra (but totally worth it) thing you did for the wedding?

Oh, definitely the food and live counters! It was such a full-circle moment from where our story began. It was extra, dramatic, and so us. Also, I may have gone a little overboard with the flower shower entry—but honestly, no regrets!

8. Are there any lessons you learned about planning a wedding that you’d pass on to other couples?

Totally! One big thing: don’t stress over every tiny detail. Things will go wrong, timelines will be crazy, but in the end, you’ll remember the smiles, not the glitches. Also, stick to what feels authentic to you as a couple—don’t over-plan for others.

9. How would you describe your experience with WeddingWire India in one sentence?

A total dream-maker! WeddingWire India didn’t just support our wedding—they made our love story come alive in the most beautiful way.

Odlučila ga je snimiti i sve podijelila na TikToku, a video je u samo jednom danu od objave pogledan više od 800 tisuća puta.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

“Kako da objasnim svom psu da ovo nije normalno?”, našalila se Odinova vlasnica tekstom na videu, a u komentarima su joj se javili brojni korisnici platforme kojima je nestašno ponašanje ovog psa izmamilo osmijeh na lice. Cijeli prizor pogledajte u nastavku.

Pogreška ili ponižavanje? Događaj u Chanel trgovini pokrenuo rasprave

Post author By admin

No Comments on Pogreška ili ponižavanje? Događaj u Chanel trgovini pokrenuo rasprave

Pri kreiranju rubrike Index Shopping nastojimo izdvajati odlične proizvode koji se i nama sviđaju te odlične akcije i popuste. Ne objavljujemo proizvode koje i sami ne bismo kupili ili smatramo da njihova promocija nije u skladu s profesionalnim standardima. Neki proizvodi u rubrici Index Shopping mogu biti sponzorirani.

LUKSUZNI proizvodi ne nude nužno luksuzno iskustvo. Mnogi prijavljuju kako su luksuzni proizvodi loše kvalitete, a neki se žale i na ponašanje osoblja u trgovinama. Često, kupci luksuznih proizvoda otkrit će da je proces stvarnog dobivanja artikla u svoje ruke teži nego što su zamislili.

Do takve je komplikacije došlo kod korisnice TikToka @shekitatrub, koja je izašla iz trgovine Chanel s novom torbom, no ubrzo je naišla na problem.

Što je pošlo po zlu s njezinom kupnjom?

U objavi na TikToku korisnica je pokazala radnika u trgovini Chanel koji otvara njezinu tek kupljenu Chanel torbicu. Na prvi pogled snimka ne govori puno, no tiktokerica je otkrila kako joj u trgovini nakon kupnje torbice nisu uklonili senzor s nje. Nije shvatila da je došlo do pogreške dok je u Prada trgovini nisu pitali što se događa.

Kao i mnoge trgovine, Chanel koristi sigurnosne senzore kako bi spriječio ljude da odnesu proizvode za koje nisu platili. Pri izlasku iz trgovine, ovi senzori emitiraju glasan zvuk koji upozorava na krađu. Upravo se zato one uklanjaju prilikom plaćanja.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

Iako je tiktokerica rekla da joj se čini da su je netko htio osramotiti, u komentarima su mnogi napisali kako je u pitanju vjerojatno tek pogreška, a javili su se i djelatnici luksuznih trgovina: “Kao netko tko je radio u luksuznoj trgovini pakirajući više torreba dnevno, lako je napraviti ovu grešku. Neki od vas su baš iskompleksirani, “Radim u Pradi, to se ponekad dogodi”, “Previdimo kad brzo pakiramo, to nije namjerno”, “Netko je zaboravio izvaditi senzor, to se stalno događa”.

No neki smatraju kako je senzor u torbi ostavljen namjerno: “Ja bih vratila torbu, ovo nije smješno, već bezobrazno”, “Nije smiješno, duguju ti za ovo”, “Tražila bih povrat novca”, “Ovo je bilo namjerno”, “Poigravaju se s tobom, žali se”.

They have won three consectuve big matches against Uruguay, Brazil and Chile and face another tough battle next as a talented Colombia squad will be waiting for them.

Nintendo announces Splatoon Raiders spinoff, exclusively for Switch 2: All you need to know about the title

Post author By admin

Post date June 10, 2025

No Comments on Nintendo announces Splatoon Raiders spinoff, exclusively for Switch 2: All you need to know about the title

In a surprise reveal today, Nintendo lifted the lid on Splatoon Raiders, the first-ever standalone spinoff from its hugely popular Splatoon series. The new title is set to launch exclusively on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 console, promising an adventurous twist to the familiar ink-based gameplay.

Departing from the typical turf wars, Splatoon Raiders places players in the role of a mechanic, journeying through the enigmatic Spirhalite Islands. Accompanied by the fan-favourite Deep Cut trio—Shiver, Frye and Big Man—players will unravel new mysteries in what appears to be a more narrative-driven experience than previous entries.

Alongside the spinoff announcement, Nintendo also confirmed a major free content update for Splatoon 3, arriving on both Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 systems on 12 June. Dubbed the Splatlands Collection, the update introduces 30 new weapon kits from the Barazushi and Emberz brands. These reimagined weapons offer distinct sub and special configurations, encouraging players to experiment with varied combat styles.

A familiar battleground also returns: Urchin Underpass, a classic stage from the original Splatoon on Wii U, will rejoin the stage rotation. Additionally, the update raises all weapon Freshness caps and introduces a new in-game badge system, allowing players to showcase their dedication and skill.

Another standout feature is the introduction of Series Weapon Power, a new stat designed to measure individual performance with each weapon in Anarchy Battle (Series) mode. By analysing win/loss ratios, the system aims to create fairer matchups and foster experimentation with different loadouts.

Players using the Nintendo Switch 2 will also benefit from enhanced graphical fidelity in social hubs like Splatsville and the Grand Festival Grounds, thanks to the newer hardware’s capabilities. Importantly, Nintendo confirmed that Splatoon 3 will continue to support cross-platform play, enabling players across both Switch generations to ink together without barriers.

With a spinoff on the horizon and a hefty update just around the corner, Nintendo is clearly doubling down on the ink-splatting chaos that has made Splatoon a modern multiplayer favourite.

Justin Baldoni’s USD 400 million defamation lawsuit against Blake Lively dismissed by New York Judge

No Comments on Justin Baldoni’s USD 400 million defamation lawsuit against Blake Lively dismissed by New York Judge

Justin Baldoni has faced a significant setback in his USD 400 million defamation suit case against his It Ends With Us co-star Blake Lively as a New York Judge has dismissed it after finding that Lively’s allegations of sexual assault against Baldoni were legally protected and as a result of it, is immune from his suit.

Judge Lewis Liman on Monday dismissed the Clouds director’s lawsuit which had also named her husband Ryan Reynolds, and their publicist Leslie Sloan for civil extortion, defamation, and invasion of privacy. But he can amend and refile some allegations regarding interference with contracts.

His USD 250 million defamation suit against The New York Times pushing an “unverified and self-serving narrative” was also dismissed citing that the report was protected under “fair report” privilege, which allows media outlets to cover legal proceedings without incurring defamation liability.

The legal suit came after Lively filed a complaint in December 2024 with the California Civil Rights Department (CRD) against Baldoni and his production company Wayfarer Studios, accusing them of sexual harassment and intimidation on the set of It Ends with Us. She along with Reynolds also alleged that Baldoni conducted a smear campaign against her for complaining about the conditions on set.

Baldoni’s lawsuit primarily focussed on Lively “stealing the film” from him and his production house Wayfarer Studios by threatening to not promote it and them promoting a false narrative that the actor sexually assaulted her and launched a smear campaign against her.

When Cinthia Soriao, Edgar Hernandez and Sesarin Hernandez set up their aguas frescas stand with an extra gallon of milk on Sunday morning, they never imagined they’d be using it to quell the burn of tear gas hours later.

The trio sells hot dogs and aguas frescas off the historic LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes, next to the Church of Our Lady the Queen of the Angels. Most weekends their customers consist of churchgoers after service or a baptism. On Sunday they were protesters locked in a dramatic clash with the Los Angeles Police Department and the National Guard over a series of Immigration and Customs Enforcement sweeps occurring across L.A. And in the process of serving them, Soriao and the Hernandez brothers ducked fireworks, hid beneath their food stand and poured surplus milk into the eyes of protesters who had inhaled tear gas.

Like multiple street vendors, this trio helped nourish the city during a fraught weekend that saw more than 70 arrests, widespread vandalism and cars set ablaze. Some vendors sold hot dogs on the 110 Freeway as protesters and law enforcement took to the stretch of highway on foot. Others set up fruit carts near City Hall. Community-aid group Food Not Bombs DTLA distributed free plant-based meals from a bike trailer, its hand-painted sign emblazoned with a raised fist clutching a carrot.

While serving water, juice and pepper-topped hot dogs during the fray, Soriao and the Hernandezes found themselves at the center of the action Sunday — the third day of protests — nearly being fired upon by the police.

“We were in the middle of everything going on,” Edgar Hernandez said Monday afternoon. “The cops were shooting tear gas and there was a point where the barrier was right here, and they were about to shoot us. We ducked under the table and a cop said, ‘Oh, they’re just selling.’ We got lucky.”

Hernandez operates the stand with his girlfriend, Soriao, and his brother. Normally, he said, they would close their cart in late afternoon, but business was so lucrative that they stayed until 9 p.m. They outlasted all other vendors on the stretch, with one even abandoning a hand-written sign for tacos and tamales as they fled.

From behind their rainbow umbrellas and a row of colorful drinks, the aguas trio witnessed rubber bullets, explosions, tear gas, tagging and screaming for hours. Across the plaza, multiple driverless Waymo taxis were set ablaze.

“We didn’t know they were gonna end up here,” Soriao said. “We thought everybody was gonna stay at the freeway, and then they came this way with fireworks. It was like, ‘Oh my God, that’s scary.’”

Many of their usual customers stayed home, afraid to attend church Sunday. But the vendors found purpose serving their new clientele, and when the protesters said they had only limited means, Soriao and the Hernandezes gave them discounts.

Many, they said, were thirsty after a full day of marching and activism. Some approached with red eyes, and the vendors poured their surplus milk onto their faces to ease the effects of tear gas. Many, Edgar Hernandez said, rejoined the protests as soon as their eyes had been treated.

“We hopefully make it in the history books as the only vendors here who stayed,” he said.

On the other side of the 101 Freeway, Stefany Gonzalez sold her bacon-wrapped hot dogs downtown for three hours on Sunday — until her mom told her to come home because the protests seemed too dangerous. By late Monday morning, she was back at it.

Gonzalez operates her food business with her mother, who moved to Los Angeles from El Salvador and taught Gonzalez how to cook. Typically the young vendor sets up her cart near the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, often serving downtown office workers on their lunch breaks. Over the weekend she found her clientele to be primarily protesters and felt she had to leave when she saw people throwing objects on Sunday afternoon.

She tried again because “it is important to support the community,” Gonzalez said.

When she returned the next day she found a different kind of protest downtown and made her way to the center of it.

On Monday afternoon Gonzalez sold bacon-wrapped hot dogs and seared serrano peppers on a path in Grand Park, where a peaceful rally called for the release of activist and union President David Huerta. Later that day, Huerta was released from custody after his arrest related to the ICE raids.

Former state Assembly candidate Justine Gonzalez came to Grand Park to attend the rally for Huerta but couldn’t find a nearby restaurant or coffee shop. Thankfully, she said, there were street vendors.

Juan Lux parked his cart selling fruit and hot dogs outside Grand Park in downtown Los Angeles.

“I was so worried, everything’s closed,” she said. “I came today to support the protest and join it, but also I need to drink water so I was really happy to find a vendor. I was worried how far I’d have to travel.”

She’d found the frutero Juan Lux, who typically sells near the Federal Building but set up his hot-dog cart and fruit stand at the corner of Grand Park, next to the Stanley Mosk Courthouse, for the rally.

“It’s important to help out the protesters,” Lux said. Behind him, in the park, the crowd hoisted “Resist Fascism” banners and “ICE OUT” signs. “I’ve done it before with other protests, and I’m just happy to be out here, helping out.”

5 Ways to Find God’s Grace When Your Faith Feels Like a Total Disaster

No Comments on 5 Ways to Find God’s Grace When Your Faith Feels Like a Total Disaster

We’ve all been there, haven’t we? That place where the prayers feel hollow, the scriptures seem distant, and the whole “faith thing” feels like a crumbling building about to collapse on top of us.

I’m not going to pretend I haven’t tasted that bitter brew. I remember a time, not too long ago, actually, when my business was on the brink and my family was facing challenges that felt insurmountable. I was going through it. I mean, I was really going through it. Doubt crept in like harmattan dust, clouding everything.

But, and this is a BIG but, God showed up. He always does. He met me in my mess, my doubt, and my despair. He reminded me that His grace isn’t contingent on my performance or a perfect faith. It’s a gift, freely given, especially when we need it most.

So, let’s explore these five ways to tap into that grace, shall we? Let’s dig deep and find that lifeline when our faith feels like a total disaster. I promise you, there’s hope. There’s always hope in Jesus.

Here we go:

1. Embrace the Honesty of Lament

Okay, let’s get real. In Nigerian culture, especially within the church, we sometimes feel pressured to always present a picture of unwavering faith. We’re supposed to be “strong in the Lord” and “rejoice always,” right? But what happens when we’re not? What happens when we’re angry, confused, and downright disappointed with God?

Well, I’m here to tell you it’s okay to be honest. It’s okay to lament. In fact, it’s biblical! Just look at the Psalms. David, a man after God’s own heart, wasn’t afraid to pour out his raw emotions to God. He questioned, he complained, and he even accused God of abandoning him! (Psalm 22 is a prime example.)

Think about it. If God can’t handle our honest emotions, then what kind of God is He? He’s not some fragile deity who’s going to crumble because we express our pain. He’s the Almighty God, the Creator of the universe, and He can handle our anger, our doubt, and our frustration.

My personal story here involves that business I mentioned earlier. I had poured my heart and soul into it, praying for guidance every step of the way. When it started failing, I was furious. I felt betrayed. I remember standing in my room, shouting at God (yes, shouting!), asking Him why He had led me down this path only to let me fail.

Do you know what happened next? Silence. But it wasn’t a cold, distant silence. It was a pregnant silence, a silence that held space for my pain. And then, slowly, a gentle whisper began to emerge in my heart. It wasn’t an answer to my “why,” but it was a reassurance of His presence. It was a reminder that He was still there, even amid my failure.

How to Practice Lament:

Journal your honest feelings. Don’t censor yourself. Write down everything you’re feeling, even the ugly stuff.

Pray raw prayers. Don’t try to sugarcoat things. Tell God exactly how you feel.

Read the Psalms of lament. Let David’s words give you permission to express your own pain.

Find a trusted friend or mentor. Share your struggles with someone who will listen without judgment.

Lamenting isn’t a sign of weak faith; it’s a sign of authentic faith. It’s about bringing our whole selves to God, even the messy parts.

2. Remember His Past Faithfulness (The “Ebenezer” Principle)

When your faith feels like a disaster, it’s easy to forget all the times God has come through for you in the past. It’s like our brains are wired to focus on the negative and erase the positive. But that’s where the “Ebenezer” principle comes in.

In 1 Samuel 7:12, after God helped the Israelites defeat the Philistines, Samuel set up a stone and called it “Ebenezer,” saying, “Thus far the Lord has helped us.” It was a physical reminder of God’s faithfulness.

We need our own “Ebenezer” stones. We need to consciously remember the times when God showed up, answered our prayers, and provided for us in miraculous ways.

I remember when I was struggling to pay my school fees. I was about to drop out of university because I just couldn’t afford it. I prayed and prayed, but nothing seemed to change. Then, out of the blue, I got a website design gig, and the money was sufficient to pay the entire fee. It was a complete miracle!

Whenever I face financial difficulties now, I remember that Ebenezer moment. I remember how God provided for me then, and it gives me hope that He will provide for me again.

Remembering God’s past faithfulness is like building a fortress of hope in your heart. It’s a reminder that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

3. Help Others, Even When You Don’t Feel Like It

When we’re in the midst of a faith crisis, it’s easy to become self-absorbed. We’re so focused on our own pain and struggles that we forget about the needs of others. But ironically, one of the best ways to find God’s grace is to help others, even when we don’t feel like it.

I know it sounds counterintuitive, but it works. When we take our eyes off ourselves and focus on serving others, we tap into a wellspring of God’s love and compassion. We begin to see our own problems in a new light, and we realize that we’re not the only ones struggling.

A friend once narrated his experience volunteering at a local orphanage during a particularly difficult time in his life. He was feeling hopeless and discouraged, but as he spent time with the children, playing with them, reading to them, and just being present with them, something shifted inside of him. Their joy and resilience reminded him of God’s goodness, and he began to feel a glimmer of hope again.

Serving others is a powerful way to break free from self-absorption and connect with God’s heart for the world.

4. Immerse Yourself in Scripture

When your faith is shaky, reading the Bible can feel like trying to decipher a foreign language. The words seem hollow, the stories seem irrelevant, and the whole thing just feels like a chore. But I urge you, don’t give up on Scripture.

Even when it feels difficult, even when you don’t understand everything you’re reading, immerse yourself in God’s Word. It’s like soaking yourself in a healing balm. The truth of Scripture will slowly penetrate your heart and begin to heal your wounds.

I remember during that business crisis, I couldn’t even bring myself to read the Bible for more than a few minutes at a time. But I made a conscious effort to read at least one verse each day. Sometimes, I would just read the same verse over and over again, meditating on its meaning.

And slowly, gradually, the Word began to work its way into my heart. Verses that I had read countless times before suddenly came alive with new meaning. I found comfort, hope, and guidance in the Scriptures, and it helped me navigate that difficult season.

How to Immerse Yourself in Scripture:

Start small. Don’t try to read the entire Bible in one sitting. Start with a few verses each day.

Choose a specific book or topic. Focus on a particular area of Scripture that resonates with you.

Gain a deeper understanding of the text. Use a study Bible or commentary.

Listen to an audio Bible. Allow the Word to wash over you while you’re doing other tasks.

Scripture is a lifeline in times of trouble. It’s a source of truth, comfort, and guidance that can help you navigate even the darkest of seasons.

5. Cling to the Community of Believers

When your faith feels like a disaster, the temptation is to isolate yourself. You might feel ashamed of your doubts, afraid of judgment, or simply too exhausted to connect with others. But isolation is the enemy of faith.

We are designed for the community. We need the support, encouragement, and accountability of other believers. When we’re struggling, our brothers and sisters in Christ can lift us up, pray for us, and remind us of God’s truth.

I remember during that dark period, I wanted to hide from everyone. I didn’t want anyone to see how much I was struggling. But a dear friend, a fellow believer, noticed that I was withdrawing and reached out to me. He didn’t judge me or try to fix me. He simply listened, prayed with me, and reminded me of God’s love.

His support was invaluable. It helped me feel less alone, less ashamed, and more hopeful. It reminded me that I was part of something bigger than myself, a community of believers committed to walking alongside me through the tough times.

The community of believers is a gift from God. It’s a place of love, support, and encouragement that can help you weather any storm.

God’s Grace Is Sufficient

I know what it’s like to feel like your faith is a total disaster. I’ve been there. But I also know that God’s grace is sufficient. He is faithful, even when we are faithless.

Don’t give up. Don’t lose hope. Embrace the honesty of lament, remember His past faithfulness, serve others, immerse yourself in Scripture, and cling to the community of believers.

And most importantly, remember that you are loved. You are valued. And you are not alone. God is with you, even in the midst of your mess. He will never leave you nor forsake you.

Hold on to that truth, and let it guide you back to the light of His grace.

Airplane flyer stands firm about keeping window seat as swapping trend continues

No Comments on Airplane flyer stands firm about keeping window seat as swapping trend continues

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

As summer travel kicks into high gear, the game of musical chairs in the sky shows no signs of slowing down as the seat-swapping trend continues.

In the “r/americanairlines” forum on Reddit, a user titled a post, “Finally happened to me.”

The person wrote, “Maybe I should stop reading about seat swappers … because it finally happened to me. Get in my 2A seat and I tell the woman, ‘Hey, before you get settled, I’m at the window.’ And she goes, ‘Well, my husband and I are apart in separate aisle seats.'”

AIRLINE PASSENGER SHOCKED WHEN AGENT REJECTS CHECKED BAG FOR ‘BIZARRE’ REASON

The user continued in the post, “I go, ‘OK, well, I’m not moving, so I hope you figure it out.’ She goes, ‘Well, it’s still business class.’ No.”

The Reddit poster added, “To clear this up, I’m on an airbus 2×2. No middle. And it was my seat that I paid for. Moving to an aisle when I booked a window months ago is not the same … otherwise [I] would’ve obliged,” the flight passenger clarified.

A Reddit user (not pictured) shared the story of refusing to give up a window seat despite a couple’s attempt to sit together. (iStock)

The post garnered over 1,000 reactions as people took to the comments section to discuss the issue and share their own encounters with seat swappers on board flights.

“I’m not at all for seat swapping. It’s ridiculous,” wrote one user.

FLIGHT PASSENGERS COMPLAIN ABOUT MASKLESS COUGHING ON BOARD AS SUMMER TRAVEL HEATS UP

Another user wrote, “Returned recently from Munich and the lady across the aisle kept asking me to switch seats so she could sit next to her husband.”

Another person wrote, “I mean, there’s no harm in asking, but if the answer is ‘No,’ politely drop it and move on.”

A couple requested to swap seats with a passenger for a window seat. (iStock)

“Unless a person has some sort of illness where their traveling partner needs immediate proximity, there’s no point in this,” wrote one user.

Many users addressed fellow flyers’ need to be near their spouses or family members on planes.

“Why can’t grown-ups just suck it up if they are not next to one another for a few hours?” commented one user.

A Redditor wrote that she and her spouse “fly often, and sometimes we can’t sit next to each other – big deal. We never ask someone to trade seats.”

“I am one of these seat swappers any time I travel with family,” one user (not pictured) admitted in a viral Reddit thread. (iStock)

A user admitted, “I am one of these seat swappers any time I travel with family. We reserve a row and the window and aisle seat … hoping no one gets the middle … If we happen to get a middle [seat]er, we ask them if it’s OK if they get the window instead or aisle. Haven’t had a complaint yet … Hoping it stays that way.”

California-based etiquette expert Rosalinda Randall weighed in on the situation, telling Fox News Digital that “no one has the obligation to switch their seat.”

“The person making the request has no right to expect [this] or make a scene when they don’t get their way,” said Randall.

There may be some circumstances in which it would be a minor inconvenience to switch seats, one etiquette expert said about the dilemma. (iStock)

“It’s a short flight, you can find a similar seat in another row, or anyone would be an improvement from the passenger [you’re currently] sitting next to,” said Randall.

The Top New Features in Apple WatchOS 26

Post author By admin

Post date June 10, 2025

No Comments on The Top New Features in Apple WatchOS 26

This year at WWDC 2025, Apple introduced a rather drastic change to its naming conventions. What should be the upcoming WatchOS 12 will now be WatchOS 26 when it launches in the fall, since the company decided to stop labeling its operating systems sequentially and instead name them according to the fiscal year they are released. Every OS now also has a new, overhauled display aesthetic called Liquid Glass, which makes certain apps, icons, buttons and pop-ups look like frosted glass and other features look like raindrops.

Other than that though, anticipated Apple Intelligence features to most of its product lineup were small and measured, rather than big and sweeping—but for Apple Watch fans, the fact that there is now Apple Intelligence on your wrist at all might be enough. Here, we walk through some of the new tips and tricks that you will start seeing on your Apple Watch this year.

Is Your Apple Watch Compatible?

WatchOS 26 will be available for Apple Watches starting from the Series 6 or later. This includes the second-gen Apple Watch SE and all Apple Watch Ultra models. You must also have an iPhone 11 or later that can run the upcoming iOS 26. If you want the Apple Intelligence features, you also need to have an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone, which includes the iPhone 15, the iPhone 15 Pro Max, and all iPhone 16 models.

When Will WatchOS 26 Be Available?

You can download WatchOS 26 as a developer beta today, but don’t expect it to be perfect. A public beta will roll out next month at beta.apple.com and WatchOS 26 will be available as a free software update to compatible Watch models this fall.

The Top WatchOS 26 Features

Liquid Glass

Courtesy of Apple

Unfortunately, most of the Liquid Glass redesigns have been optimized for the bigger screens of the Mac, iPhone and the iPad. But hey look, the numerals on the clock face now have a translucent frost! You can also see slight specular highlights around the edges of the buttons when you look closely. Smart Stack—Apple’s layered widget system—will also be made from Liquid Glass, so as not to obscure the screen.

Workout Buddy

Workout Buddy uses all the exercise data accumulated by the Apple Watch—heart rate, pace, distance, et cetera—and uses it to offer personalized, upbeat encouragement (“you crushed it!”) during your exercise session. Apple Intelligence analyzes your data to provide these insights and use voice encouragement derived from Fitness+ trainers. It can also mark key moments, like running a mile particularly fast. It’s currently available for just a few exercises, like indoor and outdoor walking or running, outdoor cycling, functional and traditional strength training, and HIIT—and yes, you can turn it off if the idea of a cheerleader in your ear is hell for you too.

The Workout app itself has also undergone a redesign, with four buttons in the four corners of the watch face to make it easier to tap on each feature. Users can set up music and podcasts within the Workout app, and Apple Music can either select music or provide suggestions for an appropriate playlist.

Smart Stack

Courtesy of Apple

Smart Stack will now incorporate more contextual data, like location and the user’s routine, to provide more helpful tips. For example, if you arrive at the gym at your usual time, your Apple Watch may mark your location and slide a workout routine to the top of your Smart Stack.

Messages and Notifications

Courtesy of Apple

If you own a Watch Series 9, Watch Series 10, or Apple Watch Ultra 2, you will now be able to use a new wrist-flick gesture (much like Double Tap) to dismiss notifications or incoming calls, silence timers, and return to the clock face. A machine learning model uses data from the accelerometer and gyroscope to catch the user’s wrist movement.

The Watch now also supports Live Translation in Messages (again, you will need an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone). If your language is set to English, the watch will now also offer prompts in Messages, like suggesting Apple Cash if the user is asked for a donation. Call Screening and Hold Assist will also come to the phone app on the watch, letting users decide whether to take or decline calls, or ask for more information.

As usual, there are new clock faces for you to choose from. And you will finally be able to use the Notes app on the watch, which may be more important to some of us than others.

Ne možete zaspati? Ove navike pomažu da utonemo u san za manje od 20 minuta

Post author By admin

Post date June 10, 2025

No Comments on Ne možete zaspati? Ove navike pomažu da utonemo u san za manje od 20 minuta

PONEKAD se svi mučimo s usnivanjem – neki rjeđe, a neki gotovo svaku večer. Ako se često vrtite po krevetu, gledate u strop i brojite minute, niste sami. Dobra vijest je da postoje jednostavni, ali učinkoviti načini kako da zaspete brže i kvalitetnije.

Koliko bi nam zapravo trebalo da zaspimo?

Prema neuroznanstvenici Kristen Willeumier, prosječno vrijeme koje je potrebno da osoba zaspe je između 5 i 20 minuta. Ako zaspite unutar tog raspona, to je znak da je vaše tijelo spremno za odmor. Nacionalna zaklada za san (National Sleep Foundation) navodi da dobra kvaliteta sna uključuje i to da zaspimo unutar 30 minuta, da se ne budimo često i da, ako se probudimo, opet zaspimo unutar 20 minuta.

Ako vam to već neko vrijeme ne polazi za rukom, stručnjaci savjetuju sljedeće:

1. Stvorite rutinu za smirenje prije spavanja

Ključ dobrog sna je priprema. Pokušajte barem sat vremena prije odlaska u krevet ugasiti ekrane, smanjiti svjetla, pustiti opuštajuću glazbu, čitati knjigu ili meditirati. Idealna temperatura za spavanje je oko 18 °C – soba ne bi smjela biti ni pretopla ni prehladna.

2. Isprobajte dodatke prehrani za bolji san

Ako radite sve „kako treba“, a još uvijek ne možete zaspati, možda bi vam pomogao kvalitetan dodatak prehrani. Dodaci s magnezijem, metvicom ili valerijanom (prirodnim tvarima koje opuštaju živčani sustav) mogu pomoći vašem umu da se smiri.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

Kako kaže Willeumier: „Većina ljudi ne spava zato što im misli ne prestaju. Zato volim magnezij – on pomaže umu da se opusti.“

3. Zapišite što vas čeka sutra

Možda niste tip za vođenje dnevnika, ali isplati se probati jednu jednostavnu naviku: prije spavanja napišite popis stvari koje morate obaviti sutra. Istraživanje iz 2018. pokazalo je da su ljudi koji su to činili zaspali brže, posebno ako su pisali konkretno i jasno. Zanimljivo, oni koji su zapisivali što su taj dan već obavili, zaspali su sporije.

4. Pazite što jedete i pijete navečer

Nema ništa loše u dobrom međuobroku bogatom magnezijem ili šalici čaja od kamilice, no izvan namirnica i pića koja potiču san, trebali biste izbjegavati obilne obroke, alkohol i, naravno, kofein. Jedenje previše prije spavanja znači da tijelo mora probavljati dok biste trebali spavati, kofein je očito stimulans, a istraživanja su pokazala da alkohol ometa REM fazu sna.

5. Idite spavati svaki dan u isto vrijeme

Dosljednost je iznenađujuće važna. Ako svaki dan idete na spavanje i budite se u približno isto vrijeme, vaš cirkadijalni ritam će se stabilizirati, a to znači i lakše uspavljivanje. Čak i razlika od sat vremena može vas izbaciti iz ravnoteže.

Rath Yatra 2025 Date and Time As per Odia Calendar: Know History, Rituals and Significance of Jagannath Rath Yatra, the Journey of Devotion and Cultural Heritage.

1. Holy Dip

Make your Jagannath Rath Yatra trip more memorable and pure by taking a holy dip on the beach of Puri. It will help create positivity within you. Travellers can also enjoy the sunset and sunrise on the beach.

2. Shopping

Next, you can do a lot of shopping there at the local markets, like buying clothes, paintings, or wooden art pieces to decorate your home.

3. Try Some Delicious Food

Then comes the chance to try some delicious and famous local delicacies, like the ones that specialise in the rich flavour of Odisha. You can try sweets like jalebi, kheer, or lentil/rice khichdi with crisp papad and eggplant. All of them are Rath Yatra’s trademark foods.

5. Bird-Watching

The last thing you must try is to go to Nalbana Bird Sanctuary, which is located at the popular Chilika Lake. It is a complete paradise for bird watchers, and especially during this season, you will be able to see different birds like pelicans, flamingos, herons, and more.

What are you waiting for? Then this year, make it possible to visit Jagannath Rath Yatra, as it’s a perfect time to disconnect from your daily work routine and, for once in your lifetime, reconnect with your spiritual side.

Vlasnik psima tijekom igre uvijek baca dvije loptice. Razlog će vas dirnuti

No Comments on Vlasnik psima tijekom igre uvijek baca dvije loptice. Razlog će vas dirnuti

KAKO ljubimci stare i postaju manje aktivni, potrebno im se je malo prilagoditi kako bi i dalje imali dobru kvalitetu života. Tako su vlasnici dva psa, starije zlatne retriverice Goldie i mladog australskog ovčara Aussieja, došli na dirljivu ideju kako da se Goldie i dalje nastavi igrati.

Kada sa psima izađu u šetnju i puste ih, uvijek pri ruci imaju dvije loptice koje bacaju – jednu bace daleko za Aussieja, a drugu bliže za Goldie, kako bi se i dalje igrala i osjećala uključenom, a ne bi se previše umorila. Ponašanje vlasnika ganulo je brojne korisnike TikToka koji su od objave pogledali video koji broji gotovo pola milijuna pregleda u samo jednom danu.

“Ovo je tako tužno i predivno, plačem!”, “Goldie je zaslužila vratiti se u prošlost i opet biti mlada”, “Kad god otvorim ovu aplikaciju, samo plačem zbog tuđih ljubimaca”, “Hvala vam što joj i dalje dopuštate da se osjeća kao mladi pas”, “Svi bi vlasnici trebali biti ovakvi, hvala vam na ljubavi”, samo su neki od komentara.

No Comments on Zara ima novu kolekciju. Pogledajte fotke

Pri kreiranju rubrike Index Shopping nastojimo izdvajati odlične proizvode koji se i nama sviđaju te odlične akcije i popuste. Ne objavljujemo proizvode koje i sami ne bismo kupili ili smatramo da njihova promocija nije u skladu s profesionalnim standardima. Neki proizvodi u rubrici Index Shopping mogu biti sponzorirani.

BRITANSKA manekenka Kate Moss desetljećima je poznata kao ikona stila, naročito boho stila koji mnogi rado kopiraju za festivale. Kako boho opsesija ne jenjava, manekenka se udružila sa Zarom i glazbenikom Bobbyjem Gillespiem te su nedavno zajednički predstavili kolekciju festivalske odjeće i modnih dodataka.

Tim je povodom Kate Moss za Vogue otkrila kako uopće ne planira svoje modne kombinacije te kako nije očekivala da će njezine spontane kombinacije postati fenomen: “Planiranje outfita kod mene nikad nije funkcioniralo”.

Za ovu je kolekciju, u suradnji sa stilisticom Katy England, zavirila u vlastiti arhiv i inspirirala se. Kompletnu kolekciju možete pogledati ovdje, a mi smo u nastavku izdvojili komade koji su nam se najviše svidjeli.

iOS 26 is here: Full list of supported devices, key features, when and where to download and more

Post author By admin

Post date June 10, 2025

No Comments on iOS 26 is here: Full list of supported devices, key features, when and where to download and more

Apple’s new iOS 26 was unveiled during the WWDC conference in Cupertino yesterday, marking the biggest yet redesign for the iPhones since iOS 7. The new update also marks the first time when Apple has let go of the sequential naming scheme in favour of a new one that is based on the upcoming year date.

Apple’s new UI bet:

Apple has introduced a design element across its UI in iOS 26 called ‘Liquid Glass’ which is essentially a smooth, see-through style animation that changes based on what’s on the screen. The Lock Screen and Home Screen are now more customisable, with time that shifts to fit your wallpaper and backgrounds that respond to how you move your iPhone.

Apple has also provided a major revamp to three major apps: Camera, Photos and Safari. The Camera app has a cleaner layout, while Photos now separates your main library and collections into tabs. Safari allows web pages to fill the entire screen, and apps like Apple Music and News feature floating tab bars that hide and reappear while you scroll.

What’s new with Apple Intelligence?

iOS 26 uses Apple’s on-device intelligence to help users do more while keeping their data private. NewLive Translation features in Messages, FaceTime, and Phone translate spoken and written language instantly without sending anything to the cloud.

Users can also use tools like Visual Intelligence to interact with what is on their screen, such as searching for products, getting answers using ChatGPT, or adding events to their calendar just by looking at them.

There are also new ways to express yourself using Genmoji (custom emojis) and Image Playground, where you can create fun images using simple words or emojis.

iOS 26 eligible devices:

– iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max

– iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max

– iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max

– iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max

– iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max

– iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max

– iPhone SE 2nd Gen, iPhone SE 3rd Gen

– Upcoming iPhone 17 series

When and where to download iOS 26?

While Apple doesn’t officially reveal when the newest iOS version will release, the usual practice has been to ship the new OS onboard the new iPhone launch in September.

For all the older phones, the new OS updates are usually rolled out a few days after the latest iPhone launch.

In case you want to desperately have a look at the new OS, there is always an option to download the Developer Beta of iOS 26 while the first Public Beta should roll out around next month.

How to get a reservation for Daniele Uditi’s Italian supper club

Post author By admin

Post date June 10, 2025

No Comments on How to get a reservation for Daniele Uditi’s Italian supper club

“This is not a restaurant,” says Daniele Uditi, addressing a crowd of 32 diners in a spacious warehouse in West Adams on a recent Sunday evening. “It might look like it, but it’s not.”

Uditi wants to set the record straight, as soon as you sit down for a meal at Le Le Dinner Club. The warehouse is outfitted with tables facing a kitchen that looks like the set of a daytime talk show. It’s meant to be a stand-in for Uditi’s home. Steam billows from big silver pots on the stove and the fire from three Gozney ovens warms the room.

Daniele Uditi addresses the diners at Le Le Dinner Club, a new supper club that takes place in a warehouse in West Adams.

(Red Gaskell / For The Times)

“When you go to a restaurant, you never meet the chef, never understand the story behind the food,” he says. “I want to be close to you and explain dish by dish and, hopefully, make you very full.”

In a city full of chefs making Italian food, Uditi is a rarity. He cooks like a grandma, with his most important culinary training having taken place at his family’s restaurant in Naples and his aunt’s bakery in Caserta. At Le Le, he’s shedding and shunning the notions of a Los Angeles Italian restaurant, where Italian is often a monolith of red sauce, pizza and pasta.

Uditi introduced Angelenos to his unique style of Neapolitan pizza at Pizzana. He’s to credit for the cacio e pepe wave that swept the nation, with restaurants everywhere copying and riffing on his cacio e pepe pizza. His small Brentwood pizzeria is now a verifiable chain, with locations throughout Los Angeles and Texas.

At Le Le, Uditi is cooking food that reflects the regionality of his family home in Campania, and he’s doing it in a setting that’s the antithesis of a chain restaurant. What started as a recurring dinner party at his home in Simi Valley is now a two- to four-times-a-month supper club with 6,000 people on the waitlist. Dinner is $250 per person and includes wine pairings.

Sommelier Ferdinando Mucerino pours wine pairings during the Le Le Dinner Club.

(Red Gaskell / For The Times)

“I love pizza, but I wanted to expand the menu to truly Neapolitan dishes,” he says. “I wanted to tell a story of where I come from, which is the Campania region, which is not really highlighted in L.A. There is a lot of Tuscany, a lot of Northern Italian, but nobody really has the southern home-cooked feeling.”

In sommelier Ferdinando Mucerino, Uditi found a fellow Neapolitan with a desire to share the riches of the region and a business partner for his new venture. The two guide diners through a 2 ½-hour party with wine pairings, designed to feel more like a meal at a friend’s house than L.A.’s next great restaurant.

“Here, you can do whatever you want,” Mucerino says, demonstrably nonchalant with a glass of red wine in hand. “Come up and talk to us. Come to Daniele and ask about the recipes, come to me and have some more pours. Really enjoy yourself, make yourself at home, because you are home.”

At my table is the friend I invited, and on the other side, a recent graduate of UCLA, who heard about the dinner through someone they follow on Instagram.

“In my family restaurant, you come and sit wherever there is space,” Uditi says. “I wanted to re-create that feeling where people who don’t know each other put the phone away and spend some time talking to one another.”

Daniele Uditi prepares the first bread course at his new Le Le Dinner Club.

(Red Gaskell / For The Times)

Le Le begins with three courses of bread. The first is the pomodoro, a thick, fluffy pan-pizza smeared with sugo di pomodoro, a rich red sauce with a deep tomato flavor that tastes like it’s been reducing for hours. Each slice gets a dollop of milky buffalo mozzarella and a generous drizzle of olive oil. It’s the bread Uditi used to sell by the kilo at the counter of his aunt’s bakery.

Next is a pillowy focaccia coated in a whipped prosciutto lardo made with the often-discarded fat trimmings. The meat butter melts into the warm bread under spoonfuls of sweet fig jam and shavings of Conciato Romano, widely referred to as the oldest variety of cheese in the world. The cheese is aged with wine and herbs, giving the sheep’s milk cheese its unique, fierce aroma. Like Parmesan’s older, more pungent cousin.

The last focaccia is an homage to the sandwiches Uditi used to help his uncle sell under a bridge in Naples as a kid.

Diners are invited into the kitchen to take video and photos and also help prepare one of the courses.

(Red Gaskell / For The Times)

“It was my Sunday gig,” he says. “We dipped the bread in fried lard leftover drippings, then smattered it with rapini and pecorino, wrapped it in foil and sold it like a burrito.”

Uditi cooks Neapolitan rapini with Calabrian chiles, garlic and pecorino to create a mess of creamy, bitter greens he spoons over the hot focaccia.

Mucerino’s wine pairings are just as hyper-regional and the pours are generous. I was remiss to waste the remnants of my glass of Cantine di Marzo Greco di Tufo, a dry, citrusy white wine from Campania that was served alongside a salad of endive, sugar snap peas and tonnato meant to mimic Caesar dressing. Unless you’re quick with your sips, leftover wine in your glass is dumped to make room for the next pairing, with each piece of focaccia and individual item on the menu receiving its own wine.

The pasta portion of the meal begins with Uditi inviting diners to join him in the kitchen to break mezzanelli.

“In Italy, they say Italians don’t break pasta, or when an Italian breaks pasta, an Italian goes to heaven or gets mad,” says Uditi. “So guess what?”

Daniele Uditi prepares the lardiata, a dish made with mezzanelli pasta in a tomato sauce fortified with lardo.

(Red Gaskell / For The Times)

He takes a footlong piece of pasta and breaks it into four pieces.

“We are committing sins tonight!”

With phones trained on the kitchen, guests put on pairs of black gloves and film themselves breaking the long tubes of pasta for the next course, a lardiata Uditi’s family used to make for Sunday dinners. Lardo di colonnata gives the tomato sauce a meaty backbone and a velvety texture that clings to each broken piece of noodle.

“In this space, you appreciate Neapolitan cuisine with no compromises” Uditi says. “The goal is to make people understand my culture.”

Le Le is named for the nickname his mother and younger brother gave him as a child.

Uditi’s crowning glory is pasta e fagioli, a universally popular Italian dish that’s part of the canon of cucina povera. It’s a lumpy mass of broken fusilli, linguini, spaghetti, mafalda and ziti pasta, fused together with Peruano beans cooked until the starches leech and create a paste-like sauce. It’s a dish Uditi made once a week at his family’s Naples restaurant. For Le Le, the pasta e fagioli is served tableside from a colossal terracotta pot that is wheeled through the dining room. Each person receives a healthy portion with a drizzle of agile sofrito, or what Uditi likes to call Italian chili crisp.

The texture switches from chewy to soft, creamy to crisp in every spoonful. It’s a dish that delivers a warming sensation that envelops your entire body.

While guests visit the kitchen frequently throughout the evening, there’s a mad dash to capture the sizzle of rib-eye steaks emerging from the ovens. Uditi dresses the steaks in a demi-glace made from all the meat juice and trimmings and a little bit of Aglianico wine. It’s an unabashed moment of pure carnal bliss unmatched by anything I’ve experienced at an actual steakhouse in the last year.

Bowls of pasta e fagioli are served tableside and finished with a garlic chili crisp.

(Red Gaskell / For The Times)

Mucerino pairs the steak with his most prized wine of the evening, a bottle of Taurasi wrapped in a cloudy white webbing of marine life and debris.

“This bottle was aged under the water in the Adriatic Sea for nine years,” he says. “The water speeds the aging process, the natural darkness, natural cold temperatures and the small vibration of the water changes the molecular structure of the wine.”

The Taurasi is big and earthy enough for the steak, with enough acidity to help cut through the richness of the meat. Maybe it was my mind playing tricks on me, but I tasted a salinity in the wine that I like to imagine came from the sea.

Rib-eye steak with a rich demi-glace served at the new Le Le Dinner Club.

(Red Gaskell / For The Times)

For dessert, Uditi invites Ishnoelle Richardson into the kitchen. Richardson is the baker behind Baking With Ish, a small pastry counter at the Blossom Market food hall in San Gabriel. He’s known for his pastries infused with Filipino flavors.

Richardson’s pistachio dessert is like a luxurious cake and a nut tart in a single, petite round pastry. The crust is fashioned from 80% Sonora wheat from the Tehachapi Grain Project and 20% almond flour. It’s on the thicker side, at least half an inch, to form a sturdy base for the cake inside. The spongecake is soaked in Limoncello and surrounded by a white chocolate ganache with Italian pistachio paste with almonds, giving the cake a slight amaretto flavor. A dollop of whipped ricotta helps catch any stray bits of nut or crumble.

By the time dessert arrives, my capacity for another bite is waning, but the tart disappears in a matter of minutes.

Uditi makes his way around the dining room, checking in with each table and pausing to take photos. He sips from a glass of wine and sneaks a bite of pistachio tart.

Ishnoelle Richardon of Baking With Ish serves a pistachio tart to finish the meal.

(Red Gaskell / For The Times)

“I don’t want barriers, it’s about conviviality and making memories,” he says.

Dates for upcoming dinners are announced every two weeks, and Uditi plans to turn Le Le into a club of sorts, where people can sign up to be members. He also has his sights on opening a focacceria. Until then, your best bet at a reservation is to sign up for the waitlist.

No Comments on Tourists are hit with new 3% tax on overnight stays to fund infrastructure in overwhelmed areas

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

As European cities grapple with overtourism, many have implemented tax hikes on tourists in an effort to curb the throngs of visitors.

Norway is the latest European country to introduce a tourist tax, allowing certain cities to introduce a 3% tax on overnight stays in “areas particularly affected by tourism,” Euronews reported.

Officials passed the levy this past Thursday and will be allowed to adjust the tax percentage based on season.

HAWAII ENACTS ‘GREEN FEE’ ON TOURISTS TO RAISE $100 MILLION ANNUALLY FOR CLIMATE, ECOLOGY PROTECTION

Similar to what’s occurred in other vacation destinations, the funds will help tourist infrastructure such as public bathroom facilities and parking areas.

Top summer attractions for tourists are places for hiking, places to experience nature such as fjords and mountains, water activities, and beach visits, according to Visit Norway’s official site.

Many tourists are drawn to Norway to witness the Northern Lights.

Cecilie Myrseth, the minister of trade and industry in Norway, noted the “historic agreement” in a Facebook post.

“The scheme is voluntary and it applies to areas that have a particularly large [presence] of tourists. The tourism industry is also the future of Norway,” Myrseth wrote.

It’s “an industry that creates housing, happiness, good experiences, value creation and important jobs all over the country,” she added.

“If the industry wants to grow, we depend on trust locally. We ensure that with this agreement.”

We’ve Finally Reached the End of the Road for Intel Macs

No Comments on We’ve Finally Reached the End of the Road for Intel Macs

Today, Apple announced the latest version of its Mac operating system, macOS Tahoe, sporting a handful of new features and apps. The update will also, however, mark the final substantial version of macOS to be supported on Intel-based Macs.

The final supported Intel-based Macs that will receive macOS Tahoe include the following models: MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019), MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports), iMac (27-inch, 2020) and Mac Pro (2019). That means if you own one of these Macs, you’ll still get access to all the features in the update later this fall when macOS Tahoe launches. The only exception is that anything that relies on Apple Intelligence won’t be available, as those features are restricted to Apple Silicon machines.

It’s been five years since the beginning of the transition from Intel to Apple Silicon. At the time, Apple stated that it would “continue to support and release new versions of macOS for Intel-based Macs for years to come.” Intel-based Macs older than 2019 have already stopped receiving software updates, and it’s now time for the last generation of models to get removed from the list.

Fortunately, Apple will provide security upgrades for these Intel-based Macs for three more years. That’s pretty solid for machines that are already more than five years old.

I’ve recommended against buyers purchasing Intel-based Macs for years. The jump from Intel Macs to even the initial M1 Macs is a huge leap in terms of performance and battery life, though I’m sure some folks will have been seduced by the Intel Macs’ ultra-discounted prices in recent years. Now we know for sure where the end of the road is, which will hopefully convince some to at least buy an M1 MacBook Air.

Apple will also be winding down Rosetta, the company’s emulation layer for running non-native apps on Apple Silicon. It was key to Apple’s early success in transitioning to its own chips. For anything other than old games, the software provided by Apple will be available only through macOS 26 and macOS 27. More than anything, it’s another way for Apple to encourage developers to finish transitioning their apps to run natively on Apple Silicon.

No Comments on Nutricionisti: Želite izgubiti visceralnu masnoću? Izbjegavajte četiri vrste hrane

MNOGI ljudi žele smanjiti visceralnu masnoću, koja je često tvrdokorna i teško se gubi, posebno ako se konzumiraju određene prerađene namirnice. Pravilna prehrana ključna je za gubitak ove masnoće, ali nije dovoljno samo povećati unos proteina i povrća. Postoje određene pakirane namirnice koje treba izbjegavati jer ne samo da pridonose nakupljanju visceralne masnoće, nego otežavaju i njezino gubljenje.

Slatke žitarice

Slatke žitarice često su omiljeni doručak, ali mogu biti štetne ako pokušavamo izgubiti visceralnu masnoću. “Slatke žitarice mogu uzrokovati nagle skokove razine šećera u krvi, nakon čega slijede padovi koji izazivaju žudnju za hranom”, objašnjava liječnik dr. Olalekan Otulana za SheFinds. Zbog toga ih je bolje izbjegavati ili konzumirati rijetko.

Čips i slični prerađeni proizvodi poznati su po visokom udjelu zasićenih masti i dodataka koji mogu povećati razinu kolesterola i otežati gubitak visceralne masnoće. “Takve grickalice treba jesti samo povremeno jer mogu spriječiti topljenje masnoće oko trbuha”, savjetuje dr. Otulana.

Pića zaslađena šećerom

Gazirana pića, zaslađeni ledeni čajevi i energetski napici često sadrže visok udio fruktoze koja se u jetri pretvara u trigliceride, od kojih se neki skladište kao visceralna masnoća. “Redovita konzumacija ovih pića povezana je sa značajnim povećanjem volumena trbušne masnoće”, upozorava nutricionistica Jennifer Pallian.

Prerađeno meso

Prerađeno meso poput salame, raznih narezaka i slanine, osim što može povećati visceralnu masnoću i kolesterol, može uzrokovati i upalne procese u tijelu. “Prerađeno meso nije preporučljivo jesti često; bolje je birati nemasno meso ili prerađene proizvode konzumirati umjereno”, zaključuje dr. Otulana.

As Cannabis Users Age, Health Risks Appear To Grow

No Comments on As Cannabis Users Age, Health Risks Appear To Grow

Benjamin Han, a geriatrician and addiction medicine specialist at the University of California-San Diego, tells his students a cautionary tale about a 76-year-old patient who, like many older people, struggled with insomnia.

“She had problems falling asleep, and she’d wake up in the middle of the night,” he said. “So her daughter brought her some sleep gummies” — edible cannabis candies.

“She tried a gummy after dinner and waited half an hour,” Han said.

Feeling no effects, she took another gummy, then one more — a total of four over several hours.

Han advises patients who are trying cannabis to “start low; go slow,” beginning with products that contain just 1 or 2.5 milligrams of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the psychoactive ingredient that many cannabis products contain. Each of the four gummies this patient took, however, contained 10 milligrams.

The woman started experiencing intense anxiety and heart palpitations. A young person might have shrugged off such symptoms, but this patient had high blood pressure and atrial fibrillation, a heart arrhythmia. Frightened, she went to an emergency room.

Lab tests and a cardiac work-up determined the woman wasn’t having a heart attack, and the staff sent her home. Her only lingering symptom was embarrassment, Han said. But what if she’d grown dizzy or lightheaded and was hurt in a fall? He said he has had patients injured in falls or while driving after using cannabis. What if the cannabis had interacted with the prescription drugs she took?

“As a geriatrician, it gives me pause,” Han said. “Our brains are more sensitive to psychoactive substances as we age.”

Thirty-nine states and the District of Columbia now allow cannabis use for medical reasons, and in 24 of those states, as well as the district, recreational use is also legal. As older adults’ use climbs, “the benefits are still unclear,” Han said. “But we’re seeing more evidence of potential harms.”

A wave of recent research points to reasons for concern for older users, with cannabis-related emergency room visits and hospitalizations rising, and a Canadian study finding an association between such acute care and subsequent dementia. Older people are more apt than younger ones to try cannabis for therapeutic reasons: to relieve chronic pain, insomnia, or mental health issues, though evidence of its effectiveness in addressing those conditions remains thin, experts said.

In an analysis of national survey data published June 2 in the medical journal JAMA, Han and his colleagues reported that “current” cannabis use (defined as use within the previous month) had jumped among adults age 65 or older to 7% of respondents in 2023, from 4.8% in 2021. In 2005, he pointed out, fewer than 1% of older adults reported using cannabis in the previous year.

What’s driving the increase? Experts cite the steady march of state legalization — use by older people is highest in those states — while surveys show that the perceived risk of cannabis use has declined. One national survey found that a growing proportion of American adults — 44% in 2021 — erroneously thought it safer to smoke cannabis daily than cigarettes. The authors of the study, in JAMA Network Open, noted that “these views do not reflect the existing science on cannabis and tobacco smoke.”

The cannabis industry also markets its products to older adults. The Trulieve chain gives a 10% discount, both in stores and online, to those it calls “wisdom” customers, 55 or older. Rise Dispensaries ran a yearlong cannabis education and empowerment program for two senior centers in Paterson, New Jersey, including field trips to its dispensary.

The industry has many satisfied older customers. Liz Logan, 67, a freelance writer in Bronxville, New York, had grappled with sleep problems and anxiety for years, but the conditions grew particularly debilitating two years ago, as her husband was dying of Parkinson’s disease. “I’d frequently be awake until 5 or 6 in the morning,” she said. “It makes you crazy.”

Looking online for edible cannabis products, Logan found that gummies containing cannabidiol, known as CBD, alone didn’t help, but those with 10 milligrams of THC did the trick without noticeable side effects. “I don’t worry about sleep anymore,” she said. “I’ve solved a lifelong problem.”

But studies in the United States and Canada, which legalized nonmedical cannabis use for adults nationally in 2018, show climbing rates of cannabis-related health care use among older people, both in outpatient settings and in hospitals.

In California, for instance, cannabis-related emergency room visits by those 65 or older rose, to 395 per 100,000 visits in 2019 from about 21 in 2005. In Ontario, acute care (meaning emergency visits or hospital admissions) resulting from cannabis use increased fivefold in middle-aged adults from 2008 to 2021, and more than 26 times among those 65 and up.

“It’s not reflective of everyone who’s using cannabis,” cautioned Daniel Myran, an investigator at the Bruyère Health Research Institute in Ottawa and lead author of the Ontario study. “It’s capturing people with more severe patterns.”

But since other studies have shown increased cardiac risk among some cannabis users with heart disease or diabetes, “there’s a number of warning signals,” he said.

For example, a disturbing proportion of older veterans who currently use cannabis screen positive for cannabis use disorder, a recent JAMA Network Open study found.

As with other substance use disorders, such patients “can tolerate high amounts,” said the lead author, Vira Pravosud, a cannabis researcher at the Northern California Institute for Research and Education. “They continue using even if it interferes with their social or work or family obligations” and may experience withdrawal if they stop.

Among 4,500 older veterans (with an average age of 73) seeking care at Department of Veterans Affairs health facilities, researchers found that more than 10% had reported cannabis use within the previous 30 days. Of those, 36% fit the criteria for mild, moderate, or severe cannabis use disorder, as established in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

VA patients differ from the general population, Pravosud noted. They are much more likely to report substance misuse and have “higher rates of chronic diseases and disabilities, and mental health conditions like PTSD” that could lead to self-medication, she said.

Current VA policies don’t require clinicians to ask patients about cannabis use. Pravosud thinks that they should.

Moreover, “there’s increasing evidence of a potential effect on memory and cognition,” said Myran, citing his team’s study of Ontario patients with cannabis-related conditions going to emergency departments or being admitted to hospitals.

Compared with others of the same age and sex who were seeking care for other reasons, research shows these patients (ages 45 to 105) had 1.5 times the risk of a dementia diagnosis within five years, and 3.9 times the risk of that for the general population.

Even after adjusting for chronic health conditions and sociodemographic factors, those seeking acute care resulting from cannabis use had a 23% higher dementia risk than patients with noncannabis-related ailments, and a 72% higher risk than the general population.

None of these studies were randomized clinical trials, the researchers pointed out; they were observational and could not ascertain causality. Some cannabis research doesn’t specify whether users are smoking, vaping, ingesting or rubbing topical cannabis on aching joints; other studies lack relevant demographic information.

“It’s very frustrating that we’re not able to provide more individual guidance on safer modes of consumption, and on amounts of use that seem lower-risk,” Myran said. “It just highlights that the rapid expansion of regular cannabis use in North America is outpacing our knowledge.”

Still, given the health vulnerabilities of older people, and the far greater potency of current cannabis products compared with the weed of their youth, he and other researchers urge caution.

“If you view cannabis as a medicine, you should be open to the idea that there are groups who probably shouldn’t use it and that there are potential adverse effects from it,” he said. “Because that is true of all medicines.”

Huda vratila svoj brend. Ljudi pišu: Zaslužila si ovo i puno više

No Comments on Huda vratila svoj brend. Ljudi pišu: Zaslužila si ovo i puno više

Pri kreiranju rubrike Index Shopping nastojimo izdvajati odlične proizvode koji se i nama sviđaju te odlične akcije i popuste. Ne objavljujemo proizvode koje i sami ne bismo kupili ili smatramo da njihova promocija nije u skladu s profesionalnim standardima. Neki proizvodi u rubrici Index Shopping mogu biti sponzorirani.

NAKON osmogodišnjeg partnerstva s investicijskom tvrtkom TSG Consumer, Huda Kattan, osnivačica i suizvršna direktorica brenda Huda Beauty, ponovno je preuzela punu kontrolu nad svojim brendom. Vijest dolazi nakon što je Kattan otkupila udio u vlasništvu koji je TSG stekao još 2017. godine.

Brend je svoje obožavatelje o novosti obavijestio putem Instagrama, a sama Kattan je rekla kako je ovo prava “emancipacija brenda”.

Na društvenim mrežama nižu se čestitke

“Službeno smo otkupili Huda Beauty. Ovo je bilo najluđe, najemotivnije razdoblje mojega života i još uvijek ga pokušavam procesirati”, piše na Instagram stranici brenda. “Ovaj trenutak je osoban. Moćan. Početak posve novog poglavlja”.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

“Zaslužila si ovo i puno više”, “Ikona. Legenda. Kraljica”, “Huda, tako sam ponosna na tebe”, “Ponosni smo, vrati se na tron”, “Velike čestitke”, “I sama imam brend i razumijem kroz što si prolazila”, “Ovo me baš dirnulo”, “Drago mi je da si uspjela”, glase tek neki od komentara na Instagramu brenda.

Danas su beauty brendovi koje u potpunosti vodi osnivačica prava rijetkost, a neovisnost Huda Beautyja pokazuje kako bi mogla izgledati budućnost beauty industrije.

O brendu

Huda Beauty je jedan od najpoznatijih svjetskih beauty brendova, koji je 2013. godine osnovala Huda Kattan, iračko-američka vizažistica i beauty influencerica. Brend je krenuo s prodajom umjetnih trepavica koje su ubrzo postale hit, a danas nudi širok asortiman proizvoda, uključujući pudere, ruževe, palete sjenila i parfeme.

Bio je to jedan od prvih influencerskih brendova koji su se našli na policama Sephore, a od početka se temeljio na Kattaninoj strasti prema šminkanju i izražavanju kroz šminku što su obožavatelji osjetili i zbog čega je brend rapidno rastao.

Apple Greets Developers at WWDC as an AI Spoilsport

Post author By admin

Post date June 9, 2025

No Comments on Apple Greets Developers at WWDC as an AI Spoilsport

(Bloomberg Opinion) — You know, it could just be a coincidence. On the eve of Apple Inc.’s World Wide Developers’ Conference, a new paper from the company’s own researchers poured some cold water over some of the artificial-intelligence hype.

The study argues that the advanced reasoning models, heralded by some as a new frontier for how AI “thinks,” fall well short of expectations. When a problem becomes sufficiently complex, the team of six researchers wrote, the models suffered a “complete accuracy collapse.” It examined top efforts from OpenAI, Google and and Anthropic — three AI makers considered several furlongs ahead of Apple in the AI race.

As I say — perhaps it’s just a coincidence. And the debate around the paper’s conclusions are only just starting. But it’s certainly useful that it arrived just as the iPhone maker’s perceived failing to build competitive AI capabilities comes back into sharp focus as third-party Apple developers descend on San Jose on Monday for the annual pilgrimage, with many more joining remotely.

WWDC isn’t typically the venue for Apple’s biggest product launches. But it is a chance for Apple to get developers hyped on some experimental ideas. The Vision Pro mixed-reality headset was unveiled at WWDC in 2023, and last year’s event was about the long-awaited reveal of Apple’s answer to ChatGPT and the rest: Apple Intelligence.

The tone of this year’s WWDC will be markedly different for one obvious reason: Apple has embarrassed itself. Many of the Apple Intelligence upgrades the company outlined in 2024 have yet to materialize on users’ devices, with the company forced to quietly stop running ads that suggested the features were imminent. The bells and whistles that did get released were underwhelming, buggy or both. Backed into a corner, by Wall Street or just competitive instincts against its peers, Apple looked to be in a bit of a scramble.

But it’s yesterday’s news to say that Apple is behind on AI. Investors know that, and the shortcomings have already been priced in; just one of several factors contributing to Apple’s share price drop of 19% so far this year. (That would have made it the worst performer in the Magnificent Seven were it not for the Trump-Musk feud’s fallout on Tesla Inc. last week.)

Today’s story is instead about whether Apple can convincingly talk its way around its glaring deficit. That job will fall on the shoulders of Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook, who could be forgiven for being distracted as Apple contends with the continued unpredictabilities of the continuing trade war.

Instead of any significant AI announcements, according to Bloomberg News’ chief Apple whisperer, Mark Gurman, attendees will be walked through a revised visual language for its apps, an upgrade to its Mac OS operating system, a new games offering and a smattering of other tweaks. There could, of course, be a “one more thing” surprise, but it seems highly unlikely. More so than any significant Apple event in recent memory, this year’s WWDC keynote seems set to be a snoozefest, a placeholder for more significant progress to come next year.

Apple’s muted WWDC will stand in stark contrast to the buzz created around the recent announcement that ex-Apple design guru Jony Ive was working on a device with OpenAI. That will take time to materialize, if it ever does. More urgent is the threat from Alphabet Inc.’s Google, Microsoft Corp. and Amazon.com Inc., which all seem closer to creating the breakthrough AI personal assistant that science fiction has promised us for so long.

So it serves a useful purpose, then, to put out a research paper diminishing others’ AI progress. Apple doesn’t seem able to speed up, so it might as well take a shot at slowing others down. And indeed, we might look back in five or 10 years and concede Apple was entirely correct in its reservations.

Taking that thought a step further, one way to spin the situation to its benefit, as discussed by analysts at Evercore ISI recently, might be for Apple executives to make more of the fact that while Apple hasn’t produced any groundbreaking AI achievements compared with its peers, it hasn’t thrown tens of billions of dollars at the pursuit either.

Warner Bros. Discovery to split into two companies, dividing cable, streaming services

No Comments on Warner Bros. Discovery to split into two companies, dividing cable, streaming services

NEW YORK: Warner Bros. Discovery will split into two public companies by next year, calving off cable operations from its streaming service as the number of people “cutting the cord” brings with it a sustained upheaval in the entertainment industry.

Warner Bros. Discovery said Monday that Streaming & Studios will include Warner Bros. Television, Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group, DC Studios, HBO, and HBO Max, as well as their film and television libraries.

The Global Networks company will include CNN, TNT Sports in the U.S., and Discovery, top free-to-air channels across Europe, and digital products such as the Discovery+ streaming service and Bleacher Report.

Shares jumped more than 7% before the market opened.

Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav will serve as CEO of Streaming & Studios. Gunnar Wiedenfels, chief financial officer of Warner Bros. Discovery, will serve as CEO of Global Networks. Both will continue in their current roles until the separation.

Just days ago Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders voted to reject the 2024 pay packages of some executives, including Zaslav’s pay package of more than $51 million. The vote is symbolic, as it is nonbinding.

“By operating as two distinct and optimized companies in the future, we are empowering these iconic brands with the sharper focus and strategic flexibility they need to compete most effectively in today’s evolving media landscape,” Zaslav said in a statement.

Warner Bros. Discovery said in December that it was implementing a restructuring plan that would have Warner Bros. Discovery serve as the parent company for two operating divisions, Global Linear Networks and Streaming & Studios. The announcement was taken as a preview of the separation of divisions that was announced Monday.

NSE, BSE Top movers today June 9: Sensex, Nifty 50 soar for 4th day, RBI’s policy support boost NBFCs & PSB stocks, Jio, Bajaj Finance, Kotak led gainers

No Comments on NSE, BSE Top movers today June 9: Sensex, Nifty 50 soar for 4th day, RBI’s policy support boost NBFCs & PSB stocks, Jio, Bajaj Finance, Kotak led gainers

Equity benchmark indices ended positive for the fourth day, investor sentiments boosted by Reserve Bank of India’s double bonanza of a larger-than-expected repo rate cut and reduction in the CRR. While main indices were range-bound during the day’s session, broader market indices reflected the overall optimism among market participants.

The Nifty50 ended at a eight-month high, led by bank stocks, with the Nifty Bank index hitting a new record high.

The Nifty 50 ended 0.40 per cent high at 25,103.20, its highest close since October 14, 2024. The BSE Sensex settled 0.3 per cent up at 82,445.21, after rising by 480 points intraday, led by banking and financial stocks.

The Nifty Bank breached the 57,000-mark for the first time with stocks of both private banks and state-owned banks surging during the session. “The dual gains in public sector and private banking stocks indicate investor expectations of improved credit growth, enhanced liquidity, and stronger earnings going forward,” according to an analyst at Bajaj Broking.

According to Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments, financial stocks extended their rally, driven by the RBI’s supportive monetory policies – repo rate and CRR cut.

“These actions have boosted investor confidence and are expected to enhance liquidity in the near to medium term, especially in midcaps. The positive US jobs data and renewed optimism over US-China trade talks lifted global sentiment. Domestically, even large caps expressed renewed momentum, led by FII inflows,” Nair added. On Friday the RBI cut the key lending rate by 50 bps and reduced the CRR by 100 bps.

Midcap and smallcap indices extended their outperformance relative to the benchmark. The Nifty Midcap 100 advanced by 1.13 per cent, while the Nifty Smallcap 100 surged even stronger by 1.57 per cent.

On the sectoral front, all indexes, except Nifty Realty, ended in the green. Among them, financials, NBFCs, PSU banks, IT, and oil & gas witnessed strong buying interest.

Top movers

Among the Nifty 50 pack, Jio Financial Services, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Bajaj Finance, Trent, Axis Bank and Adani Enterprises emerged as major gainers, while Eternal and ICICI Bank were major laggards.

Shares of Titan, M&M, Adani Ports and Bharti Airtel slipped to end in negative territory.

NBFC stocks including Cholamandalam Investment, IIFL Finance, Manappuram Finance and Muthoot Finance rallied on RBI’s policy support.

Bandhan Bank, IREDA, Hindustan Zinc, OFSS and Muthoot Finance surged 4-7 per cent among midcap. Five-Star Business, IIFL, Manappuram Finance, MCX and MGL zoomed 7-9 per cent among smallcap.

The market is likely to continue its gradual up-move, according to Siddhartha Khemka, Head – Research, Wealth Management, Motilal Oswal Financial Services, on the back of strong domestic cues such as better-than-expected Q4 corporate earnings, RBI’s liquidity-boosting measures, an above average monsoon forecast and the likely US-India trade deal.

Asian markets settled in positive territory during the day ahead of the US-China trade talks in London.

The best new burgers in Los Angeles

Post author By admin

Post date June 9, 2025

No Comments on The best new burgers in Los Angeles

I consumed six burgers in the last seven days. One was wrapped in yellow paper on a restaurant patio in Eagle Rock that felt like a friend’s backyard. Two were smash burgers with crunchy, lacy edges in a coffee shop in downtown El Segundo. I drove to Compton for double chili cheeseburgers. West to Santa Monica for a thick patty and east to South Pasadena.

In total, I clocked 204 miles on my Prius in pursuit of an excellent burger.

This is not something meant to elicit praise, surprise, disgust or a call from my gastroenterologist. It’s what happens when I eat something spectacular, then fixate on it for days. Most of the time, that something spectacular becomes the subject of this column.

Cannonball

The accidental burger quest began in the patio of Cannonball in South Pasadena, with a cool breeze on my cheeks and the sound of the A Line train whizzing by, its tracks just beyond the restaurant’s perimeter. The burger was familiar, a compact concoction of meat, cheese and bun that chef Matt Molina first introduced at Everson Royce Bar a decade prior.

At Cannonball, Molina’s new restaurant with partner Joe Capella, the two built the sprawling two-story restaurant around the burger.

“We thought this restaurant should be anchored by a burger that you can eat and not feel self-conscious about while you’re sitting at a bar,” Molina says. “Simple and compact. We’ll do the burger, and the rest we’ll figure out.”

It’s a burger resplendent in its simplicity, with every component precise. The four-inch patty, four-inch bun, 3-millimeter-thick slice of Tillamook medium cheddar and spoonful of Dijonnaise are four individual triumphs. The prime chuck patty is pressed into a ring mold, seasoned with just salt and pepper and cooked on the hot griddle. Light pressure is applied to create a discernible crust. On top is a slice of cheese, cut at the restaurant to ensure the proper melt and ideal meat-to-cheese ratio.

The inside of the egg brioche is toasted in canola oil, releasing the butter in the bread and forming a crisp, French-toast-like layer on the bun. Just the bottom half is smeared with Dijonnaise. There is no lettuce, tomato or onion; nothing to interfere with the glorious sensation of an aggressively fatty and salty homogeneous bite.

In its fourth week of operation, there is already so much to fixate on at Cannonball. Molina’s biscuits, flaky, tender and impeccable, also make an appearance on the menu. But the burger ($23), accompanied by a cylinder of uncomplicated French fries, is a great place to start.

Birdie G’s

The thick patty reigns at Jeremy Fox’s Santa Monica restaurant Birdie G’s, with a heft that will require the full extension of your jaw. It’s satisfyingly heavy in the hand, a burger that commands the attention of a full meal.

“I wanted it to be as special as possible, so we tested out a bunch of different cuts of beef,” Fox says. “We do a lot of quality control and taste testing every day.”

The Birdie Burger that appears on the menu is the 19th iteration.

Fox landed on a blend of prime brisket and chuck, coarsely ground in house and formed into eight-ounce patties with a fat percentage that hovers around 25%. He seasons the meat with salt and the restaurant’s own Montreal steak rub, with plenty of dried onion and garlic. It’s a patty with the depth and marbling of a nice rib-eye, cooked over a blend of almond wood and charcoal.

A slice of melted havarti envelops the meat in a creamy layer of mild, buttery cheese that hangs over the edges of the burger. Fox makes a condiment he dubs Al’s steak sauce, named for his grandfather, who was fond of A1. With tamarind, Worcestershire and plenty of onions, the sauce helps coax out the wood smoke in the meat. A caramelized onion jam cooked down with Manischewitz wine is the right amount of sweet. Thinly sliced raw white onion and dill pickles bring the flavors into focus, ensuring nothing feels too heavy.

It’s a meat and cheese tower book-ended by a butter-toasted milk bread bun, made specifically for the restaurant by Petitgrain Boulangerie.

“Birdie G’s was always the place that should have had a burger, we just never got around to it,” Fox says. “It’s our number-one seller. We really put a lot of love into it.”

The burger is available on both the happy hour ($23) and dinner menus ($32 with fries), and also on the new brunch menu, that launches June 21.

Mama’s Snack Shack

The burgers at Addy Pool’s tiny walk-up counter in Compton are designed to taste like they came from her home kitchen. It’s the way she learned how to make burgers when she started working at the now-closed Three Bears Burgers in Vermont Vista as an eager 19-year-old in the early ‘90s.

Later, she perfected her technique at the Original Snack Shack in Central-Alameda, where she worked for more than two decades until the restaurant shuttered.

Last summer, she opened Mama’s Snack Shack in the former Bludso’s Bar & Cue space in Compton. The name is a nod to the nickname she earned from her customers at the Original Snack Shack.

“Everyone calls me mama,” Pool says. “It’s a sign of respect for being so many years in the community. And the respect I give to everybody.”

Pool offers a short menu of beef burgers, turkey burgers, hot dogs and fries. There’s the option to add bacon, a hot link or pastrami to any sandwich, but to appreciate what Pool does best, order the cheeseburger.

Her burger patties are just over a quarter pound of chuck meat, seasoned with a blend she grinds and mixes herself. She forms the patties by hand, each one with its own shape and character. The cheese is American, the bun fresh and appropriately bready. Think soft rather than squishy.

“My bun goes straight on the grill, with no butter or anything,” she says. “You have to be able to taste the seasoning in my meat.”

Rather than a variation on Thousand Island, what’s become the go-to spread for burgers across the city, Pool adds a dollop of hot pepper relish to her burgers. It’s a condiment that adorned the burgers at both the Original Snack Shack and Three Bears Burgers. She’s tweaked the recipe over the years, with the current version having a smidgen more heat. It’s sweet but not overpowering, with both dill and sweet relish and a kick from crushed pepper flakes and chile paste.

The double cheeseburger requires a commitment, prompting a likely nap shortly after. Thoughtfully and smartly constructed, she layers the first patty cheese side down on the bun, then a middle layer of lettuce, diced onion and relish (tomato if you ask, but I have feelings about tomato on a burger and didn’t) in the middle, then the second patty, cheese side up.

The construction guarantees even bites, with no spillage out the back.

The double chili cheeseburger ($9.35) is less refined, the backyard burger of your dreams drowned in a savory chili seasoned with lots of black pepper, garlic and Pool’s secret blend of spices.

“We make the chili and everything else every single day,” she says. “We make the fries to order. Every product I have is fresh. I tell my customers that the only old thing in the kitchen is me.”

Depending on the hour of day, you’ll find a small group of Pool’s family at the restaurant. During my last visit, two grandchildren were playing in the parking lot while her daughter and niece were in the kitchen. She also employs her son and nephew.

“In order to keep the prices down and keep the doors open, all my family have jobs and come help me,” she says. “ I want to make sure that everybody is able to buy a burger from me and not say it’s too expensive.”

The cheeseburgers at Mama’s Snack shack are $5.50 for a single and $8.60 for a double.

“I love making burgers, it’s my passion,” she says. “It’s the person I am. That, and my faith in my customers keep my doors open.”

A little faith, and the cheeseburgers.

How the Holy Spirit Empowers You to Live a Life of Purpose

Post author By admin

Post date June 9, 2025

No Comments on How the Holy Spirit Empowers You to Live a Life of Purpose

God has given us what we need to know in the Bible, which is the Word of God. But not only that, I am so thankful that when Jesus ascended back to the Father, he put within us the Great Instructor and Teacher: the Holy Spirit that confirms and illuminates what we read and teaches us new things that we haven’t read yet. But to be clear, he does not speak on his “own authority” – meaning the Holy Spirit will never say something to you that contradicts what God has already said. We end up in error (and even with false religions) when we follow what we thought or felt that the Spirit said instead of making sure it lined up with the Bible.

But the Holy Spirit doesn’t just want us to hold on to the truth he gives us. Jesus said that in the Acts 1:8 “Great Commission” passage that we are given “power” from the Spirit to be his “witnesses” everywhere we go.

4. He Glorifies the Son.

The work that the Holy Spirit does in the world and in the life of believers will never glorify or point people to an individual; it will always point people to the Son of God, who takes away the sins of the world. There are so many people who stand up in front of crowds or in front of cameras claiming to have this gift or that gift from God, who conveniently end up padding their pockets and putting their name in lights. God uses people – absolutely. But in the end, whether you use your gifts in front of people or behind the scenes, and where you are from or far away on a mission field – it is all for the glory of God.

Nothing good comes from you being lifted up. A quick look at human history shows that to be true. But as Jesus said in John 12:32 that when we lift him up, he will “draw all people” to himself.

I encourage you to join me in taking time to examine the Scriptures from the Old Testament to New Testament to find out as much as you can about the Holy Spirit. You’ll still be left with a few mysteries for sure, but you’ll also be better at listening to, relying on, and being empowered by the Holy Spirit to live in this world.

Reddit users share the ‘weirdest’ flight passenger behaviors they’ve seen on airplanes

Post date June 9, 2025

No Comments on Reddit users share the ‘weirdest’ flight passenger behaviors they’ve seen on airplanes

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

In the “r/delta” forum on Reddit, a user posted a provocative question recently.

“What’s the weirdest thing to happen to you on a plane?” the person asked — garnering some 2,000 reactions to date.

The user opened up the discussion by sharing a photo of a flight passenger playing a wooden recorder while sitting in a window seat.

FLIGHT PASSENGERS COMPLAIN ABOUT MASKLESS COUGHING ON BOARD AS SUMMER TRAVEL HEATS UP

“On landing/taxi, this fine gentleman pulled out his recorder and played ‘Amazing Grace’ for the other 100 or so people on the plane,” the user wrote. “I’m quite happy he waited until the end of the flight.”

The user added that it was “by far the absolute weirdest thing I’ve seen inside an aircraft.”

People have been sharing the “weirdest” behaviors they’ve observed on board planes among other flight passengers. (iStock)

Other Redditors took to the comments section to share the wildest actions they’d seen while traveling 30,000 feet high in the sky.

“I got stuck in a middle seat years ago next to a young woman carrying an almost life-sized doll head with a full head of messy hair,” one user wrote. “And no, she wasn’t a hairdresser.”

Another user said, “I don’t like it when people clip their toenails. I’ve seen it three times. Twice [in] a row across from me and another time in my same row.”

MAJOR AIRLINE HOLDING FLIGHTS TO ACCOMMODATE FLYERS WITH CONNECTIONS

Commented another person, “A woman put her rooster in the overhead bin, but it got loose.”

Wrote one individual, “A woman across the aisle from me brought spaghetti and meatballs with her onto the plane, but she must have been in a rush because she was eating it out of one of those plastic thank-you bags.”

On Reddit, people are complaining about other flight passengers who eat messy or unusual foods while on board. (iStock)

Another Redditor said there was an “old dude who kept asking me questions about my job even after I put my headphones on (multiple times) to work — couldn’t take a hint and then said I was rude for not talking to him.”

Said yet another person, “My wife and I were sitting in 1C and 1D. The guy in 1B pulled out dental floss after the meal and started going at his mouth like he was giving himself a root canal. Full-on two-handed flossing right in his seat.”

AIRLINE PASSENGER SHOCKED WHEN AGENT REJECTS CHECKED BAG FOR ‘BIZARRE’ REASON

A user wrote, “The weirdest I’ve seen was someone changing their baby’s diaper on their seatback table. Yep, the entire plane smelled of dirty diaper for the rest of the flight.”

Another user described this: “Donald and Melania Trump impersonators [were in the] first row on a Southwest Flight. The impersonator knew that I had done a double take when I passed him by. I guess most [people] do.”

A Reddit thread reveals the weirdest airplane passenger behaviors has garnered thousands of reactions. (iStock)

Gary Leff, a Texas-based travel industry expert and author of the blog “View From the Wing,” told Fox News Digital that flight passengers need to be mindful of others.

“Passengers have a zone of personal space on the plane that roughly corresponds to the area of their seat,” said Leff.

“Within that space, there are all [types] of behavior that might come under criticism (usually in the realm of personal hygiene and grooming), but it really comes down to the discretion of the individual,” he added.

“It really comes down to the discretion of the individual.”

Former flight attendant and Florida-based etiquette expert Jacqueline Whitmore told Fox News Digital about different ways in which passengers can practice proper etiquette on flights.

Whitmore also noted that it’s important to practice spatial awareness.

“The seats may be getting smaller by the day, but that doesn’t give you the right to spill over into someone else’s space or put your head on another person’s shoulder — unless, of course, you know that person well.”

“Passengers have a zone of personal space on the plane that roughly corresponds to the area of their seat,” said one travel expert. (Getty / iStock)

As for passengers who opt to remove their shoes, Whitmore suggested putting on a pair of socks.

“From an etiquette standpoint, it is rude to walk about barefooted in a public place as many germs can be transmitted from your feet,” Whitmore told Fox News Digital.

Leff noted that flying has become more affordable and democratized.

“What that means is that all sorts of different people with different customs and expectations are now thrown together inside a metal tube,” he said.

“Air travel brings together disparate people in stressful times who act as though they’re in private.”

“Then add in that people may be afraid to fly, or are traveling for emotionally stressful reasons, such as visiting family, leaving home (or escaping a bad home situation) or going to a funeral,” he said. “Air travel brings together disparate people in stressful times who act as though they’re in private.”

Leff said that he’s seen people drinking too much, arguing with a spouse and traveling barefoot.

“Humans are strange creatures, indeed,” he added.

It’s Time to Kill Siri

Post author By admin

Post date June 9, 2025

No Comments on It’s Time to Kill Siri

However, it’s fair to say that Apple and even Amazon’s Alexa have had a cultural cachet that Google Assistant never enjoyed. It wasn’t unusual to hear Siri or Alexa’s name in a movie or TV show; they were much more recognizable than Google’s generic-named voice assistant. This may be why Amazon decided to keep the Alexa branding and simply add a “+” icon to denote the new souped-up version of Alexa powered by the latest large language models—and perhaps why Apple is still hanging onto Siri.

Photograph: Julian Chokkattu

This might have all been OK if Apple actually delivered on its promise and released a functioning, much-improved Siri when it originally said it would. With a massive marketing push to put Apple Intelligence in everyone’s mind (maybe a regretful move), it would have been a great opportunity to wow users with a much-improved Siri. Months later, customers are left wondering why Siri—new look and all—still lags behind.

But the broader problem affecting all large language models isn’t just the branding, but the user interface. Harrison compares it to the days of command-line computing and the shift to the graphical user interface (GUI) in the ‘80s and ’90s. It wasn’t the graphics that made the latter more popular, but the discoverability and explorable interface. In the command-line era, you had to remember how to do anything. With GUI, you could put anyone in front of a computer, and they’d be able to figure out how to navigate the operating system.

If you put someone in front of ChatGPT or Gemini, say it’s an incredible tool, and tell them to ask it anything, they’ll just stare blankly at the blinking prompt. “It’s like we’ve gone back 30 years in interface design. They have no idea what to do or say.” Harrison says he did this exact experiment with his parents: They asked what the weather was tomorrow, and the AI responded that it didn’t have that information.

“We’ve regressed in discoverability,” he says. “A regular person, not the tech people, if all they’ve been doing is setting timers with Siri for the past 10 years, and now they have to think about it in a fundamentally different way—that’s an extremely hard problem. Some sort of renaming of the application is going to be important.”

Saying goodbye to Siri would be a big move for Apple—after all, it has spent more that a decade investing in it. But most people today still use it for playing music, checking weather, and setting timers, and aren’t even pushing the boundaries of its current, relatively limited, capabilities. It’s hard to see that changing anytime soon, even if Siri’s feature-packed next generation arrives as promised.

“For 99 percent of the planet, this kind of AI revolution has totally gone over their head,” Harrison says. Like the 10-year transition from command line to graphical user interfaces, rethinking the way we use these personal voice assistants will take time and education, but maybe a new name will help Apple with the transition.

Ogromna greška koju mnogi čine kada rade čučnjeve, prema svjetskom prvaku

Post author By admin

Post date June 9, 2025

No Comments on Ogromna greška koju mnogi čine kada rade čučnjeve, prema svjetskom prvaku

ČUČANJ je jedna od najčešće korištenih vježbi u svakodnevnim treninzima. Riječ je o svestranom i relativno jednostavnom pokretu koji se lako prilagođava razini opterećenja i tehničkoj zahtjevnosti. Ipak, Paco Sierra, dvostruki svjetski prvak WNBF Pro i trostruki prvak Španjolske, izdvojio je niz preporuka za pravilno izvođenje čučnja kako bi se izbjegle ozljede i bolovi u mišićima. Iako se čini da se radi o jednostavnoj vježbi, vrlo je lako napraviti pogrešku koja može dovesti do problema.

Pravilan način izvođenja čučnja

Za mnoge sportaše čučanj je osnovna vježba u programu jačanja tijela. Jedna od najčešćih uputa koja se prenosi u treningu jest da se tijekom spuštanja kukovi trebaju pomicati unatrag. U pokušaju da se to postigne, mnogi sportaši, osobito početnici, nesvjesno savijaju kralježnicu. Time se pokret izvodi nepravilno, najprije se pomiču kukovi unatrag, ali istodobno dolazi do zakrivljenja leđa. Takva izvedba može imati štetan utjecaj na kralježnicu.

Za zaštitu leđa, kralježnica mora ostati u neutralnom, ravnom položaju. Kukovi trebaju izvoditi zglobni pokret, pri čemu se pomiču prema natrag bez savijanja leđa.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

Ostali važni detalji

Osim pravilnog pokreta kukova, važno je paziti i na položaj koljena. Ona bi se trebala kretati u liniji sa stopalima, bez uvijanja prema unutra ili prema van. Prilikom spuštanja, koljena ne bi smjela ići ispred vrhova stopala.

Položaj stopala treba biti u širini ramena, a aktivacija trbušnih mišića je ključna za održavanje stabilnosti trupa tijekom pokreta. Ako nije moguće zadržati pravilnu tehniku, preporučuje se smanjiti opterećenje dok se tehnika ne usavrši.

Šipka za opterećenje treba biti postavljena na mišiće trapeza, a ne izravno na kosti kralježnice, jer pogrešan položaj može dovesti do ozbiljnih ozljeda.

Njemački ovčar obožava led, vlasnik snimio presladak način na koji moli za komadić

Post author By admin

No Comments on Njemački ovčar obožava led, vlasnik snimio presladak način na koji moli za komadić

NJEMAČKI ovčar Zeus obožava led, a kako temperature svakim danom postaju sve više, njegova želja za rashlađenjem je češća. Njegov vlasnik je snimio simpatičan videozapis u kojem ga Zeus uzbuđeno i nestrpljivo traži malo leda, a slatki prizor izmamio je osmijeh na lice tisućama korisnika TikToka.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

U objavljenoj snimci, Zeus pokušava slušati vlasnika koji mu daje naredbu da sjedne kako bi dobio led, ali on to ne može učiniti u tišini, već se cijelo vrijeme glasa s fokusom na komad leda u ruci svog vlasnika. U komentarima su se javili i brojni drugi vlasnici pasa čiji psi također vole grickati led kad je vani vruće te napisali da je Zeus presladak dok moli za omiljenu “slasticu”.

Jelena Rozga zapjevala hit Magazina, ali svi su gledali njezin ljetni look

No Comments on Jelena Rozga zapjevala hit Magazina, ali svi su gledali njezin ljetni look

Pri kreiranju rubrike Index Shopping nastojimo izdvajati odlične proizvode koji se i nama sviđaju te odlične akcije i popuste. Ne objavljujemo proizvode koje i sami ne bismo kupili ili smatramo da njihova promocija nije u skladu s profesionalnim standardima. Neki proizvodi u rubrici Index Shopping mogu biti sponzorirani.

JELENA Rozga sprema se za koncert u Antičkom teatru u Ohridu koji će se održati 29. srpnja. Tim povodom na Instagramu je objavila video u kojem, pjevajući pjesmu Magazina Bilo bi super, najavljuje ovaj nastup dok šeta trgom u Skoplju.

“Muzika je moja ljubav. Na svakom koncertu svjedočim kako spaja ljude svih generacija koji u tom trenutku dijele istu emociju. Ona je ta koja ne poznaje granice i ruši sve zidove. Već 29 godina gledam tu ljubav i zato sam najsretnija na svijetu”, napisala je u objavi na Instagramu, uz video.

“Najljepša zlatokosa”

No nije samo pjesmom osvojila publiku – mnogi su komentirali i koliko je odlično izgledala u videu.

“Najljepša zlatokosa”, “Zna li netko odakle su sandalice?”, “Jedva čekam jer bit će to nestvarna noć”, “Oduvijek i zauvijek najbolja riba na Ex Yu estradi bez konkurencije!”, “Koliko si divna Jelena”, “Dama sa stilom”, “Predivna si”, “Bravo Jelena! Tako divno izgledaš, a pjesma je prelijepa”, samo su neki od njih.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

Budući da nas je njezino izdanje oduševilo – smatramo da je savršeno i za proljeće i za ljeto, posebno za elegantne dnevne prigode – odlučili smo istražiti gdje se može nabaviti.

Vjerujemo da je Jelena u videu nosila komplet brenda Róhe koji se sastoji od bijele košulje kratkih rukava i maksi suknje, a oba su komada izrađena od pamuka. Što se tiče sandala podsjećaju nas na jedan Jimmy Choo model. Pogledajte ove komade u nastavku.

What should I realistically expect from a printer under ₹10,000?

You’re not buying for speed or heavy duty tasks here. What you get is a basic machine that prints clearly, scans when needed, and connects without much trouble. Some models offer wireless printing and even auto duplex, but don’t expect advanced features built for office grade work.

Do printers under ₹10,000 offer wireless printing?

Yes, many models now include Wi-Fi and app-based printing. Brands like Canon, HP, and Epson offer wireless access through their own mobile apps, even at entry-level prices.

Does it make sense to expect mobile printing in this price range?

It does now. Many printers around ₹6,000 to ₹9,000 support mobile apps like HP Smart, Canon Print, or AirPrint. If you print from your phone, it’s worth prioritising models with solid Wi-Fi and app integration.

Factors to consider while purchasing the best printers under ₹10,000 in 2025:

• Purpose of use: Consider what you actually need the printer for. Occasional home printing, school work, or basic scanning will need a different model than someone printing daily reports or multi-page documents.

• Ink type and running cost: Cartridge-based printers may cost less initially but require frequent refills. Ink tank printers usually handle more pages and have a lower running cost over time.

• Print volume: Think about how often you print. If it’s only a few pages a week, basic models will do. For higher volumes, choose a printer designed for regular use.

• Connectivity options: If you’re only using a desktop or laptop, USB is fine. For printing from phones or multiple devices, look for built-in Wi-Fi and mobile app support.

• All-in-one vs print-only: If scanning and copying are part of your routine, go for an all-in-one. If not, a print-only model is usually easier to manage and lasts longer.

• Duplex printing: Double-sided printing can save paper, especially for assignments or reports. Not all printers in this range offer it, so check the specifications closely.

• Driver and app support: Ensure the printer is compatible with your current devices and operating systems. Look for models that work well with both PCs and phones through apps.

• Ink availability: Always check how easy it is to get refills. Avoid printers that use rare or expensive cartridges unless you’re sure of long-term availability.

• Build and maintenance: Simpler models with fewer moving parts are usually easier to maintain. Look for a design that doesn’t require frequent intervention or service calls.

Rob Riggle, Jordana Brewster to star in ‘The Pirate King’

Post author By admin

Post date June 9, 2025

No Comments on Rob Riggle, Jordana Brewster to star in ‘The Pirate King’

“I have seen the hope and struggle that many veterans across the country experience in this script, and I’m honored to be part of this film to share their story,” he said in a statement.

Brewster, 45, called it a “privilege” to join the project.

“It is a privilege to be a part of this project. Josh wrote a beautiful screenplay with humor and heart which highlights the need to support our Veterans” she said.

Plasse said, ‘The Pirate King’ is a love letter to Virginia Beach and the community I grew up in.

As the son of a Navy SEAL, I’ve seen the cost of service up close, and this film captures the harsh reality of Veteran assimilation while also exploring the communal nature of pirate re-enacting.

“We promised ourselves we would only make this film if we felt it could truly honor and give back to the Veteran community.

The moment Rob signed on, I knew we had something authentic that would accomplish this goal,” he added.

The upcoming film is produced by Morning Moon’s Ethan Lazar, Kyle Owens, Austen Rydell and Billie Lourd, Traction’s Jason Tamasco and Zak Kristofek and Pine Bay Pictures’ Brev Moss.

The Ultimate Carrot Cake With Orange Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe

No Comments on The Ultimate Carrot Cake With Orange Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe

This carrot cake contains all the usual ingredients that make carrot cake distinct — carrots, cinnamon, walnuts — but with a bit (or more than a bit) more of everything!

The cream cheese frosting is mostly cream cheese with just enough butter to make it fluffy. I add orange zest and juice, because my mom added orange to hers (in her case a spoonful of frozen orange juice from concentrate; it was the 1970s, after all), a trick she learned from a recipe she clipped from our local newspaper. So we’ve gone full circle. Carrot and orange is a natural pairing, so I’m not sure why orange isn’t always a part of the frosting. It should be.

One of the great, mysterious miracles in baking is that carrot cake gets even more moist with time. Once the cake cools in the pan, you can wrap the pan, or take it out of the pan and wrap the cake in plastic wrap. Leave it at room temperature or refrigerate it for up to 2 days before frosting it.

Heroic couple on vacation saves six lives after a boat explodes on the River Thames

No Comments on Heroic couple on vacation saves six lives after a boat explodes on the River Thames

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

A brave couple saved the lives of six people after a boat exploded on the River Thames.

Josh Hobbs, 35, and Hannah Lloyd-Hobbs, 34, both jumped into the river to rescue four children and two adults, including an 18-month-old baby, news agency SWNS and other outlets reported.

The couple said they were in the “right place at the right time” on Saturday, May 31, when they witnessed the blaze — which police described as an act of “heroic bravery.”

WOMAN REFUSES TO LET FRIEND BORROW HER CAR AGAIN AFTER IT WAS TRASHED THE FIRST TIME

The couple were on vacation from Wales, walking their dog just minutes away from the river.

Hobbs told SWNS, “We were less than 10 minutes into our walk, about 100 meters from the river.”

He added, “There was an almighty bang, the kind where the air pressure hits your head.”

Lloyd-Hobbs initially thought it was a confetti cannon, she said, but her husband suspected a gas barbecue had exploded.

They immediately heard desperate cries from the boat and sprinted toward the scene.

“They were screaming back to say they couldn’t swim.”

People on the boat “were screaming back to say they couldn’t swim,” said Hobbs. “We tried to reassure them that jumping in the river was the better of two outcomes.”

Some people on board finally took the plunge into the water.

“One of them was an 18-month-old — Hannah instantly dived in to grab the baby,” he said.

Holding his dog’s leash, he shouted for the others to get off the boat while his wife helped the baby onto the bank, he said.

She told SWNS, “I handed the child to Josh before getting out myself.”

He then jumped in to help the other children, three of whom reportedly couldn’t swim. “I remember grabbing two young children and getting them to the bank, then going back for more,” he said.

He noticed a family member desperately holding a three-year-old and said, “I grabbed the child as well.”

“At one point, I had four people hanging off me.”

He also described seeing a woman struggling underwater and pulling her to safety. “I think her husband panicked and grabbed me, too,” he said.

Treading water and shouting for help, Hobbs managed to get the three-year-old to another bystander while his wife stayed with the baby. “At one point, I had four people hanging off me,” Hobbs recalled.

The explosion was heard for miles, drawing a crowd that helped pull everyone from the water and administer first aid, SWNS reported.

The group felt relief only when air ambulance crews arrived on the scene.

Wiltshire Police confirmed that five adults and four children — who were aged 18 months to seven years — ended up in the water.

Nine people were hospitalized, with three in stable condition. Some suffered potentially life-changing injuries, SWNS reported.

Detective Superintendent Joe Garrity of the Wiltshire Police Department said, “It is a miracle there were no fatalities … Much of that must be put down to the response of two [vacationers] from Wales who happened to be passing.”

“With no thought for their own safety, they jumped into the Thames to help save the lives of those involved.”

“It is a miracle there were no fatalities.”

Hobbs said they’ve stayed in contact with police to check on those rescued.

“In the heat of the moment, we just did what we did,” he told SWNS.

How to Advocate for Trans Rights in Your Community

Post author By admin

Post date June 9, 2025

No Comments on How to Advocate for Trans Rights in Your Community

Transgender and gender-nonconforming people continue to fight for equal rights, despite persistent attacks from conservative lawmakers both in the United States and abroad.

“Advocacy and support for trans, nonbinary, and intersex people is so important right now because we are seeing such an onslaught of targeted attacks coming from the Trump administration,” says Shane Diamond, director of communications and advocacy at GLAAD. “We’ve seen state executive orders that try to dehumanize us, that try to strip away our rights.”

While many members of the LGBTQ+ community might not feel safe in the US, trans women of color remain the most vulnerable to discrimination and violence. WIRED spoke with advocacy groups that work to protect and empower trans people, so you can better understand how to support members of your community.

Recognize the Humanity of Others

If you’re a cisgender (no, it’s not a slur) person, where can you start? It’s quite simple. “The most humane thing to do is to recognize our humanity. Some people are truly of the belief that we don’t deserve a place in the world,” says Tiommi Luckett, a senior national organizer for Positively Trans at the Transgender Law Center. “I think they need to see our humanity and recognize that we’re not asking for special rights.”

Don’t assume you understand the nuances of a trans person’s experience based on preconceived ideas or someone else’s opinion. While it’s important to recognize the difficulties and discrimination that trans people (or people of any marginalized group) face, the vibrancy and nuances of their lives are not often represented in the media. “We need to see trans joy more visibly present in the world,” says Camila Camaleón, a former administrative coordinator at Gender Justice LA.

Get Involved With Local Organizations

National organizations can be a force for good, but you are likely to feel more connected to those around you (and potentially have a greater impact) by getting involved with an advocacy group that’s local. What trans rights groups are nearby? If you’re in the United States, check out this list from our sister publication Them to find a group that might be closer to home. Entries are included from all 50 states. Located in the UK? Trans Unite is one website you can use to find groups near you.

Listen to Trans People of Color

“Centering ourselves is not selfish,” says Ezak Perez, an executive director at Gender Justice LA. “We should be centering ourselves and each other, so that we can go out there and really fight for the issues that are impacting our communities.” The work of an ally is not to take charge of the situation. Instead, it’s about listening to the leadership from marginalized people and following. “We don’t necessarily need people to be leading,” they say. “But, we need people to really come on board and fight alongside us.”

If You Haven’t, Register to Vote

“It’s just so critical that people take the time to register to vote, and then vote,” says Sasha Buchert, a director of the Non-Binary and Transgender Rights Project at Lambda Legal.

She mentioned consistent voting as one of the most important actions an ally can take, especially for younger people who support equal rights but might not show up often to the polls on election day.

Contact Your Representatives

Going beyond just voting, Buchert recommends calling the leaders of your local government and asking them what they’ve done recently to protect the lives of trans constituents. “I guarantee you there are other people who are opposed to trans folk that know the system,” she says. “They know the power of talking to their state legislators.” Visit this website to find contact information for your local elected representative in the US, and go here if you’re located in the UK.

Speak Out Against Harassment

“Many people will stay silent because they’re afraid of getting things wrong,” says Casey Pick, director of law and policy at The Trevor Project.

“What we need now, especially in a time when there is so much misinformation and so much hostility out there, is our allies to speak up,” Pick says. Even less overt examples of transphobia, like a snide comment made by a friend, still actively contribute to the hostile environment experienced by trans and gender-nonconforming people.

“It’s not a joke for us to be attacked on the street simply for being who we are,” says Luckett. It can be frightening and dangerous to intervene if you see harassment occurring in public, but you have multiple options as a bystander, like distraction or documentation.

This webcomic from NPR is a great resource for bystanders who want to better understand how to react, in the moment, to harassment.

Support the Cause Year-Round

Anyone who is financially able should consider making donations to trans-centered support groups, all year long, not just during pride month.

“I’m not like trans Cinderella,” says Diamond. “I don’t go back to being cis on July first. If people are feeling excited and empowered to show up as allies, keep doing that even when pride season is over. As we know, the attacks against trans people have been coming all year, and we will continue to be here.”

Also, donations to small, local groups can have an outsized impact on their ability to provide resources to the surrounding community.

Why is fighting for trans rights so important? “None of us are safe, until we all are safe,” says Luckett. “My liberation is definitely tied to your liberation, and everyone’s liberation. Because when we liberate Black trans people, then liberation is possible for everyone.”

Neuroznanstvenica otkriva: Navika od 10 sekundi koja trenutačno poboljšava fokus

Post author By admin

Post date June 8, 2025

No Comments on Neuroznanstvenica otkriva: Navika od 10 sekundi koja trenutačno poboljšava fokus

UMOR, dosada i anksioznost često narušavaju sposobnost koncentracije. Kada se ne možemo usredotočiti, čak i najjednostavniji zadaci postaju dugotrajni i frustrirajući. U određenim situacijama, poput vožnje, nedostatak fokusa može biti i opasan. No prema neuroznanstvenici dr. Hayley Nelson, postoji jednostavan i brz način za “resetiranje” mozga, traje svega 10 sekundi i ne košta ništa.

Što pomaže? Hladna voda na licu

Dr. Nelson kaže da je sve što trebate napraviti osvježiti i “prskanje” lice hladnom vodom. “Prskanje hladne vode po licu može brzo resetirati fokus”, objašnjava dr. Nelson za portal Parade.

Taj efekt nastaje aktivacijom takozvana refleksa ronjenja sisavaca, evolucijskoga odgovora tijela na uranjanje u hladnu vodu. Kada hladna voda dodirne lice, posebno područje oko očiju i čela, trigeminalni živac šalje signal moždanomu deblu. Tada dolazi do brze promjene u autonomnomu živčanomu sustavu, koji kontrolira funkcije poput disanja i otkucaja srca.

“Simpatički živčani sustav (zadužen za reakciju ‘bori se ili bježi’) usporava, a parasimpatički sustav (koji pomaže pri odmoru i oporavku) preuzima”, objašnjava Nelson i dodaje: “Usporava se puls, disanje postaje dublje, razina hormona stresa opada – i to je dovoljan fiziološki predah da se mozak ponovno usredotoči”.

Pomaže i kod stresa

Kako prenosi Parade, neka znanstvena istraživanja pokazuju da hladna voda može smanjiti razinu kortizola, hormona stresa, što dodatno doprinosi poboljšanju fokusa i emocionalne ravnoteže.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

“Obično je dovoljno nekoliko puta poprskati lice vodom, svega pet do deset sekundi izlaganja”, kaže Nelson. “Ako vam treba jače razbuđivanje, stavite hladnu, vlažnu krpu na lice, posebno preko očiju i čela, na 15 do 30 sekundi dok dišete duboko.”

Može li topla voda imati isti učinak?

Možda se pitate može li se isti efekt postići toplom vodom, ali odgovor je ne. Neurologinja objašnjava da je upravo temperaturni šok ključan za buđenje mozga i živčanoga sustava.

“Topla voda neće pokrenuti isti refleks niti potaknuti oslobađanje norepinefrina, neurotransmitera koji pomaže kod budnosti, pažnje i raspoloženja”, ističe liječnica. Dok će vam topla voda možda goditi, neće imati učinak na fokus.

FOTO Na Zrinjevcu je održan pravi pseći party, pogledajte kako je bilo

No Comments on FOTO Na Zrinjevcu je održan pravi pseći party, pogledajte kako je bilo

PSI I NJIHOVI vlasnici danas su se okupili na Zrinjevcu, gdje se u sklopu festivala Cest is d Best održao dobrotvorni Plutov piknik. Pluto je inače bio legendarni čuvar gradilišta Oktogona u Bogovićevoj ulici, gdje se nalazi njegova spomen-ploča. Legenda kaže da je mršavi, izgladnjeli pas dolutao na gradilište za vrijeme izgradnje zgrade Prve hrvatske štedionice, 1898. godine. Radnici na gradilištu psa su hranili i davali mu vodu te se on udomaćio.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

Psa su svi zavoljeli, a posebno je prirastao uz srce Josipu pl. Vancašu, arhitektu koji je dobio povjerenje za izgradnju Oktogona. Vancaš je psu i dao mitsko ime Pluto. Nakon nekog vremena psu je gradilište postalo dom koji je branio od lopova. Razbojnici su često noću dolazili na gradilište jer se nekoć u Ilici nalazio potok iz kojeg se vadila ilovača od koje se izrađivalo posuđe za domaćinstvo. Pluto je navodno nastradao pred sam kraj izgradnje, vjerojatno u sukobu s razbojnicima. Radnicima i Vancašu je to teško palo, pa su kao vječnu uspomenu na Pluta dali napraviti spomen-ploču.

Osim što su uživali u besplatnim poslasticama, psi na Zrinjevcu sudjelovali su i u zabavnim aktivnostima, a za to su nagrađeni i diplomama. Svi koji su htjeli, mogli su donacijama podržati udruge Indigo i Merida.

No Comments on Women’s Maharashtra Premier League 2025: Khushi Mulla’s All-Round Show Seals Five-Run Win for Pune Warriors Over Smriti Mandhana-Led Ratnagiri Jets

Mumbai, June 8: All-rounder Khushi Mulla scored a classy half-century and also shone with the ball as Pune Warriors defeated Smriti Mandhana-led Ratnagiri Jets by five runs in their Women’s Maharashtra Premier League (WMPL) match here on Sunday. This was Pune Warriors’ third straight victory in the tournament. Asked to bat first, Khushi (68, 54b) and skipper Anuja Patil (27, 22b) shared a 53-run stand to help their side to 151 for 8 in their 20 overs. Bizarre!

Although she did not pick up any wickets, Khushi was economical with the ball (0 for 28 in 4 overs) and held her nerves to concede just six runs in the final over, when she had 12 runs to defend. It looked like the game was done and dusted when opener Gautami Naik (15, 12b) perished in the fifth over with the scoreboard reading 26 for 4.

However, India vice-captain Smriti, who came to bat at No. 5, brought her team back in the contest with a 61 off 34 balls, a blistering knock that was laced with six fours and three sixes. However, Ratnagiri’s chase got derailed in the 15th over when pacer Chinmayee Borpale (3/23) got Smriti’s wicket. Chinmayee was well-supported by skipper Anuja Patil’s 2 for 30.

Earlier, Solapur Smashers’ skipper Tejal Hasabnis dazzled with a half-century (56, 36b) to guide her side to a comfortable seven-wicket victory over Raigad Royals. Tejal added 73 runs for the second wicket with Ishwari Savkar (33, 38b) before all-rounder Mukta Magre played a handy knock of an unbeaten 34 off 27 deliveries as Solapur overhauled a target of 130 in 17.2 overs.

How artificial intelligence caught leukaemia in Maharashtra’s Parbhani

Post author By admin

No Comments on How artificial intelligence caught leukaemia in Maharashtra’s Parbhani

Inside, Dr Chaitanya K. sits in front of a microscope and a half-drunk cup of tea. On the wall, a faded sign reads in hand-painted Marathi: “Accurate diagnosis, unwavering trust.”

But here, accuracy has always been a battle fought against exhaustion, distractions and overwhelming demand.

A paediatric blood report arrives on Chaitanya’s screen. The numbers seem ordinary: white blood cells normal; haemoglobin slightly low; platelets borderline. Typical monsoon fever, he thinks, almost ready to dismiss it. But experience and the scars of past misdiagnoses have taught him caution. Instead of signing off, he gently places the slide into an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered scanner he recently bought, against nearly everyone’s advice.

Amid the clamour rising from the street, the machine begins examining hundreds of cells, undistracted by the relentless noise below.

Then, a red notification flashes on the screen. Blast cells: 86%.

Chaitanya stares briefly. There’s no ambiguity.

“That’s leukaemia.”

Across town, in a dimly lit paediatric ward at the government hospital, Prasad Pawar, a sugarcane farmer from a village nearby, wipes sweat gently from his son’s forehead. The 12-year-old boy lies listless, IV fluids dripping slowly into his arm. For days they had moved from clinic to clinic, first an orthopaedist for back pain, then a paediatrician suspecting dengue. No one said the word “cancer.” No one thought it necessary to look deeper.

“He had some pain in his back, so we went to the orthopaedic,” Pawar told this writer later.

Earlier that afternoon, a pathologist Pawar had never met—someone who had failed class 12, someone who taught himself pathology from social media site X, someone who learned the hard way not to trust tired eyes alone—had seen something no one else had.

Minutes after the machine flagged the anomaly, Chaitanya called Pawar’s paediatrician.

“Refer them immediately,” he said calmly.“Sambhajinagar, now.”

There was no debate. The boy’s name didn’t matter yet, nor did Chaitanya’s past failures. All that mattered were the numbers the machine refused to overlook—and the life they might still have a chance to save.

In India’s small-town labs, accurate diagnoses are often missed—fatigue, human error and limited resources turn routine tests into silent gambles. But AI is changing the rules. This isn’t Silicon Valley’s grand vision of AI replacing doctors. Instead, it’s a story about overlooked places like Parbhani, where technology helps exhausted pathologists see clearly again, catching life-threatening diseases before it’s too late.

In India’s small-town labs, accurate diagnoses are often missed—fatigue, human error, and limited resources turn routine tests into silent gambles. But AI is changing the rules.

Lessons from X

In the margins of Chaitanya’s résumé, beyond medical degrees and equipment manuals, lies a quieter credential: failure. Not the motivational kind of failure that fills TED talks and commencement speeches, but the stark, personal kind that nearly ends a journey before it begins.

Chaitanya grew up in Parbhani, a small district town in Maharashtra better known for sugarcane fields than second chances. His father, an electrical engineer, died in an accident when Chaitanya was in school, leaving him to be raised by his mother. In class 12, the crucial Indian exam that determines academic futures, he failed.

“I failed class 12… Everyone told me to give up,” he recollected.

But his mother refused to accept defeat, and slowly, so did he. Over the next three years, he regrouped, clawed through self-doubt, and finally gained admission to a medical college. His original dream—neurosurgery, inspired by his father’s early death—was out of reach. Instead, he found himself in pathology, not by choice but circumstance: his exam scores weren’t high enough for a competitive surgical residency.

At first, pathology felt like a compromise. But slowly, it turned into something deeper. In 2018, while teaching pathology at Smt. Kashibai Navale Medical College and General Hospital in Pune, Chaitanya stumbled upon a Leica digital scanner—unplugged and forgotten, gathering dust in a corner of the department.

He asked around; no one seemed to care if he took it. He contacted the manufacturer for training and began experimenting, scanning pathology slides digitally and sharing images on X. What started as idle curiosity soon became his education. Pathologists from across the world responded to his blurry scans, corrected him, debated diagnoses, taught him what textbooks couldn’t.

‘X changed my entire scenario. Instagram reels don’t teach you pathology.’ — Dr Chaitanya Khillare

“X changed my entire scenario,” he said. “Instagram reels don’t teach you pathology.”

Each night, after his wife and kids went to sleep, he spent hours analysing blood smears, studying subtle variations, understanding how even trained doctors could disagree over what constituted a “blast” cell—the marker of leukaemia. Most importantly, he reflected on his own diagnostic mistakes.

“I’ve missed cancer myself,” he said. “Twice.”

He said it plainly, without drama—the confession of someone who had spent countless hours hunched over a microscope, certain he had seen enough, only to realize later he hadn’t. He missed diagnoses not out of carelessness, but because he was exhausted. This was why the AI scanner mattered. Not because it was infallible, but because it never grew tired, never skipped the 10th slide out of fatigue.

“AI isn’t about speed,” Chaitanya said. “It’s about not failing someone just because we’re exhausted. Or because a pattern didn’t jump out the first time.”

The Leica scanner had given him his first glimpse of technology’s potential. But the urgency crystallized only when he returned to Parbhani to open his own pathology lab above a cardiology clinic. Running a 24-hour operation, he faced a daily reality of exhaustion and relentless demand—blood reports needed immediately, cardiac emergencies arriving at all hours. Fatigue was no longer theoretical; it was inescapable.

When he heard about SigTuple’s AI-powered device—one capable of scanning blood smears, tagging cells and detecting abnormalities—he didn’t ask if it would be profitable. He asked if it would see what he sometimes missed.

SigTuple, a Bengaluru-based AI startup specializing in medical diagnostics, builds tools designed to catch diseases before it’s too late.

Against everyone’s advice, Chaitanya bought it—a ₹6.5 lakh investment in a town where most labs still used manual counting.

What the machine saw

It was the SigTuple AI100 scanner that caught Prasad Pawar’s son’s leukaemia.

The device methodically analysed the smear, finding and focusing on the monolayer, where cells lie evenly spaced and clearly defined. Within minutes, it scanned hundreds of cells, measuring their size, shape and patterns, a task nearly impossible for an exhausted pathologist reviewing dozens of slides a day.

No one had explained algorithms or AI to Prasad. But what he understood instinctively was that something had looked closer—exactly when others had looked away.

Within a day, the diagnosis was confirmed through flow cytometry at Sambhajinagar, a city with better medical facilities, about 200km from Parbhani. Treatment began immediately. The boy remained stable, under careful monitoring.

For Chaitanya, such outcomes reaffirmed his faith in the partnership he’d forged with his machine—one that wasn’t always about spotting disease, but sometimes about ruling it out.

Eyes that don’t tire

Chaitanya didn’t buy the scanner because of a glossy pitch or hype. In fact, there was no pitch at all—just a promise from a machine that didn’t care whether the slide was stained perfectly or the day had run too long. He trusted it because it caught things he sometimes missed. And that trust was built on years of meticulous engineering by someone who understood how fragile frontline diagnosis could be.

The AI-powered scanner that flagged 86% blast cells in that boy’s smear was developed by Tathagato Rai Dastidar, co-founder of SigTuple. Tathagato had spent years building tools meant for labs that never appeared in glossy brochures—places like Parbhani, where blood samples are mis-processed, staining is uneven and technicians might never have completed formal training.

“You walk into a lab in India, and 8 out of 10 times, the smearing or staining is poor,” Dastidar told this writer. “If we didn’t build for that, we’d be building for nobody.”

SigTuple’s scanner doesn’t simply magnify slides; it replicates the thought process of a skilled pathologist at machine speed. A single drop of blood, smeared on a glass slide and stained, is loaded into the AI100. The scanner quickly finds the monolayer—the ideal zone where cells are clear, distinct and undistorted. It then captures high-resolution images, identifies and counts white blood cells, and pinpoints any morphological anomalies.

It doesn’t stop at a glance. It reviews dozens, sometimes hundreds, of cell images to ensure nothing subtle is missed. In under two minutes, it performs a level of analysis that would take a human nearly half an hour, flagging cells that appear suspicious, uploading findings to the cloud and creating a detailed digital report.

“We’ve seen staining quality improve in labs within days of installing our scanner,” Dastidar said. “Because now, nothing gets discarded. Everything is seen.”

What SigTuple created is more than a faster microscope; it’s a workflow that remembers. Once analysed, no smear vanishes into a forgotten folder. Each questionable cell, each subtle anomaly, can be retrieved, reconsidered or re-examined months or even years later.

“This isn’t about man versus machine,” Dastidar explained. “AI sees the sample. It doesn’t know the patient. But when used correctly, it helps the doctor see better.”

‘AI sees the sample. It doesn’t know the patient. But when used correctly, it helps the doctor see better.’ — Tathagato Dastidar

This subtle yet crucial partnership bet-ween human intuition and machine vigilance is precisely what Umakant Soni, an experienced AI ecosystem builder closely familiar with SigTuple, emphasized.

“India’s rural and semiurban healthcare infrastructure is fragmented, stretched thin, often running under conditions of constant fatigue,” Soni said. “You see compounders playing the role of doctors. Technicians working without proper training. Historical patient data is rare or non-existent.”

For Soni, the critical insight behind SigTuple’s technology wasn’t simply its sophistication under ideal conditions—but its resilience under real-world pressures. “AI models here must adapt to noise, to incomplete information, to messy realities,” he said. “They must work offline, speak in vernacular languages, and fit into the chaotic rhythms of frontline care.”

Soni believes systems like SigTuple’s can dramatically reshape rural healthcare. “There’s a powerful case for using AI-driven screening at the primary health centre level,” he argued. “Right now, too many preventable cases escalate into full-blown health crises that overwhelm urban hospitals like Tata Memorial. Early diagnostics could stop these tragedies before they start.”

A different kind of miss

Not every misdiagnosis unfolds in a rural lab or culminates dramatically in a paediatric leukaemia ward. Some happen over days and weeks, even in cities where good doctors and advanced diagnostics are easily accessible. But the experience—the confusion between what you’re told and what you feel—is no less disorienting. That’s why Anuruddh Mishra’s story belongs here, as a counterpoint to the urgency that saved a child in Parbhani.

In early 2020, just weeks before India entered its covid-19 lockdown, Anuruddh, a tech product builder living in Bengaluru, began noticing stiffness in his fingers. Then came sharp pains in his knees. Initially, he brushed it off. But as discomfort grew, anxiety prompted what most urban Indians with access tend to do: he booked multiple tests, consulted telehealth platforms and tried to decode medical jargon on his own.

Three different labs returned the same troubling result: elevated anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) levels—a biomarker that pointed toward early-onset rheumatoid arthritis. A specialist agreed it was worrying, though perhaps not advanced enough yet to warrant aggressive medication. Uncertainty lingered.

Over the months that followed, his pain intensified. One morning, as he stood cooking breakfast, Anuruddh’s right knee abruptly gave out beneath him. “I told myself I’d walk into the airport that day without assistance,” he later recalled, still vividly remembering his determination to resist the narrative of disability creeping into his twenties.

Then came an unexpected twist. New tests from another lab returned clean: no anti-CCP. No rheumatoid arthritis. The source of his discomfort turned out to be something entirely different—a simple dietary imbalance involving elevated uric acid and vitamin D deficiency, easily manageable with changes in diet and supplements.

Relief, however, was quickly replaced by frustration. “I had access. I wasn’t poor, wasn’t rural,” Anuruddh explained, visibly animated by lingering disbelief. “But for months, I was left guessing, worrying and confused. All I had were conflicting numbers.”

This personal turmoil sparked the creation of August.AI, a conversational assistant designed not to replace doctors, but to offer clarity and reassurance in the chaotic silence between visits. “I wasn’t building an AI doctor,” Anuruddh emphasized. “I was creating the companion I desperately needed—one who says, ‘I see exactly what you’re seeing. Let’s figure this out together.’”

Today, August.AI serves millions of patients, primarily in towns far smaller and less equipped than Bengaluru. It has prevented dangerous drug interactions, alerted liver donors to contraindicated medications and correctly identified the cause of fainting episodes as a missed vaccine. Anuruddh’s own months-long brush with confusion turned into a deeply empathetic digital companion.

He isn’t a doctor, but his experience echoes the central question that Chaitanya had grappled with in his own lab: What if someone had just looked a little closer?

The lab that doesn’t forget

Most medical labs in towns like Parbhani aren’t built to remember—they’re built to churn. Samples arrive, are processed quickly, and the paper reports vanish into the vast machinery of India’s fragmented healthcare system. Patients rarely return for follow-ups, and their medical history often fades, lost or discarded.

But Chaitanya’s lab refuses to forget.

“Patients vanish,” he said, voice steady yet gentle. “But their cells don’t have to.”

This isn’t merely a line he repeats; it’s the core philosophy of the lab. Here, each smear and scan is uploaded, meticulously archived and stored securely in the cloud within minutes, even at odd hours when most technicians are sleep-deprived and mistakes are commonplace. The lab runs 24 hours, reflecting the urgent heartbeat of the cardiology clinic below. Night or day, emergencies arrive. Slides are hurriedly prepared, fed into the AI scanner and remembered permanently.

Memory, Chaitanya has learned, can be transformative. One case stood out vividly when we spoke: a young girl whose fever had lingered too long. Her paediatrician suspected rheumatic fever—a condition easily missed but devastating in its consequences if not diagnosed early. The initial lab results—an anti-streptolysin O (ASO) titer—came back normal. But Chaitanya couldn’t shake his unease.

“The doctor kept saying it didn’t feel resolved,” he recalled. “I felt it too.”

Chaitanya insisted on another test, sending the sample nearly 300km away to a certified lab in Hyderabad. Three tense days later, the results came back positive, confirming the initial suspicion—acute glomerulonephritis, a serious kidney condition.

“That night was restless,” Chaitanya confessed. “She was just a child. If that report had been missed, six years later, she would surely have developed heart disease.”

Chaitanya’s refusal to erase ambiguity can feel counterintuitive in a system that values quick results and neat answers. Yet it has already proven crucial. Once, a young girl arrived with a swollen lymph node. Lymphoma was suspected, but her family, wary and perhaps overwhelmed, refused further tests. They disappeared without leaving even a phone number behind.

Almost a year later, the girl returned. This time, the mass was larger, visibly worse. Chaitanya, recalling their abrupt departure, didn’t have to rely on fragmented memory or scribbled notes. He still had the cells—from the very first visit, carefully digitized and saved.

“I didn’t need a fresh biopsy,” he explained. “I had the truth, right there, from the last time she came.”

Diagnostics, especially in places like Parbhani, is often about speed, about navigating between fatigue and efficiency, about clearing the next report from a backlog. But for Chaitanya, persistence has become just as crucial as precision. He sees his AI scanner not only as a diagnostic companion but as a witness, capable of remembering every overlooked cell, every ambiguous smear, every patient who slips from the waiting room into uncertainty.

Not to fail someone

In Parbhani, where diagnostic delays often mean irreversible outcomes, there is little room for error.

“It’s not about being faster,” Chaitanya told this writer late one evening. “It’s about not failing someone because we were tired or distracted.”

This commitment connects him to others who refuse to accept the routine failures in healthcare.

Tathagato Rai Dastidar, who built SigTuple’s scanner, didn’t create it for venture capital pitches or tech headlines. He built it to withstand the frustrating realities of Indian labs—poor staining, uneven training and weary technicians. “AI doesn’t blink,” Dastidar said. “Every sample gets the same attention.” In Bengaluru, Anuruddh Mishra felt first hand the pain of misdiagnosis. It drove him to build August.AI—not to replace doctors, but to offer clarity when medical answers felt cold or distant. These three paths cross not because they share a vision of futuristic technology, but because they refuse to normalize neglect.

Not every story ends well. Chaitanya knows this. Weeks after this writer’s visit, he described a case that still haunted him. Late one night, a three-year-old’s blood report showed extremely high white blood cell counts. The AI quickly ruled out leukaemia and sepsis. Troubled, Chaitanya called the paediatrician and urged him to look deeper.

Hours later, the doctor discovered the child had stopped drinking water and was showing signs of hydrophobia—a hallmark of rabies. There was no visible bite or wound history, just the silent, devastating progression of the disease. The child, born after his parents tried for 17 years, could not be saved.

“AI didn’t diagnose rabies,” Chaitanya later wrote on LinkedIn, openly grappling with the outcome. “But it helped rule out leukaemia and sepsis quickly. Sometimes integrity means doing everything right—even when it won’t change the outcome.”

For Chaitanya in Parbhani, AI isn’t revolutionary. It’s just one more safeguard against the simplest yet harshest failure: missing something because you were too tired, too rushed, or too human.

Shares of IndusInd Bank on Friday climbed 2.50 per cent after Reserve Bank of India Governor Sanjay Malhotra said the firm is “doing well” now, and added that the resignation of MD and CEO Sumant Kathpalia should be seen as a “good enough” step from an accountability perspective.

The stock advanced 2.50 per cent to settle at ₹823.20 on the BSE. During the day, it jumped 5.32 per cent to ₹845.85.

At the NSE, shares of the firm climbed 2.44 per cent to ₹822.85.

The RBI also said the bank has complied with all the regulatory asks over the turbulent period.

“The MD and CEO of the bank resigned, owning moral responsibilities. So, I thought that should be good enough. Do you expect that all the board members (should resign)… I think the MD and CEO, who is also a member of the board… has taken responsibility, that is at the board level itself,” Malhotra said.

The governor made it clear that the RBI will not shy away from taking any action against the bank and the law will take its own course if there are any criminalities in the matter.

IndusInd Bank has been witnessing challenges for the last few quarters, starting with its microloan exposures and then conceding accounting lapses. It recorded the worst quarterly performance in its history by posting a ₹2,329-crore loss in the March quarter, as it took the brunt of all the accounting lapses and oversights.

“I think the bank has taken enough number of steps to improve their accounting and other practices, and on the whole, I think it is doing well,” Malhotra told reporters at the RBI headquarters in Mumbai.

This is the ultimate carrot cake. More carrots, more frosting, more everything

Post author By admin

Post date June 8, 2025

No Comments on This is the ultimate carrot cake. More carrots, more frosting, more everything

My mom remarried when I was in my 30s. Already on my path as a food professional, I decided to make her wedding cake. Or wedding cakes.

I didn’t want to risk a tiered extravaganza caving in on itself or looking like a leaning tower. So I decided to bake half a dozen 9-inch round cakes and dress them with bougainvillea blooms loosely arranged like flowing floral halos over and around each one. There was never any question about what kind of cakes to make: carrot cake with orange cream cheese frosting.

Carrot cake is an oil-based, one-bowl quick bread of a cake moistened with grated carrots, redolent of sweet spices and always slathered with cream cheese frosting — the only question is, how much?

Recipes from the 1970s generally called for roughly one cup of grated carrots per cup of flour. Over the decades, the amount of carrots in many recipes has crept up to two cups per cup of flour and most recently as much as three cups. Oddly, no matter how many carrots you add, carrot cake tastes nothing like carrots but has a flavor profile all its own.

What the extra carrots do accomplish is to make the cake more moist, darker and earthier. For me, there’s nothing more disappointing in a carrot cake than one that is light-colored and airy like, well, cake with flecks of carrots in it. Carrot cake should be moist but not oily. Dense but not fudgy. Loaded with nuts. (I prefer walnuts over pecans, but you do your thing. Just make sure to toast them before adding them to the batter.)

Cream cheese frosting gets the citrus-y treatment with a little bit of fresh-squeezed orange juice and finely grated orange zest. Add toasted nuts if you like.

(Rebecca Peloquin / For The Times)

I also go big on spices — cinnamon, clove, allspice (nutmeg, if you’re so inclined) and vanilla. And I add grated fresh ginger, because a good carrot cake has a gingerbread quality to it. (I don’t care for raisins in my carrot cake, but carrot cake is forgiving; if you want to add raisins, it’s a free world.)

Where, when or by whom carrot cake was invented is unknown. We take the idea of carrots in a cake for granted, but think about it: Somewhere in the world (I like to think it was Berkeley), in some place in time (evidence suggests it was the 1970s), there was a human being who decided to put grated carrots in cake batter!

People — cooks and chefs and bakers even — have achieved icon status for less. Jean-Georges Vongerichten underbaked chocolate cake, giving birth to molten chocolate (“lava”) cake. Wolfgang Puck put smoked salmon on pizza (because he reportedly ran out of bread for Joan Collins, who wanted smoked salmon).

Writer Carolynn Carreño whips up her cream cheese frosting, made with fresh orange juice and orange zest, in the Los Angeles Times Test Kitchen. (Rebecca Peloquin / For The Times)

But carrots, raw carrots, in cake. Why this person didn’t get their due seems unjust, but maybe it’s because they were an anonymous health-nut hippie, in which case they wouldn’t care about such a worldly thing as fame. Whoever invented it, the health craze of the 1970s put carrot cake on the national menu, and that is certainly how it came to play such a prominent role in my life.

My mom was too glamorous in her flared jeans and silk shirts to be considered a hippie — though she did drive a van with a mural painted on the outside and carpeting and furniture inside. But she was a self-proclaimed “health nut.” The only bread we were allowed to eat was Oroweat Honey Wheat Berry, because it was brown and contained visible seeds and grains. And the only cereals permitted were All-Bran and Quaker 100% Natural, a.k.a. “granola.” Except for decorated sheet cakes from the local bakery she ordered for our birthdays, the only cake she ever baked was, you guessed it, carrot cake.

My mom’s version, the recipe for which she clipped from a newspaper that was so oil-soaked it became transparent, was a burnished shade of brown that evoked something substantial, mysterious, and maybe even healthy, with frosting made of cream cheese whipped up with powdered sugar and a hint of orange juice — no butter involved. A true California cake if ever there was one.

I made that carrot cake throughout my childhood. I baked them, frosted them and served them from a 9-by-11-inch Pyrex dish. (I had no idea how to turn a cake out of a pan, or that I was even supposed to.) For holidays, I made a mess of cream cheese frosting dyed with too much food coloring to decorate the tops with a holiday motif. My American flag for the Fourth of July was so smeared and sloppy that my attempt at patriotism could have been a felony.

(Rebecca Peloquin / For The Times)

This year, inspired by the beautiful carrots at the farmers market, springtime and my mom, whose 87th birthday is April 21 (Happy Birthday, Mom!), I decided to revisit carrot cake.

I referenced my mom’s old recipe, long ago transferred to grease-stained index cards; two of Nancy Silverton’s (I co-wrote her five most recent books); and two more — one from Sally’s Baking Addiction and another from King Arthur Flour’s website. And I made cakes. That’s when I realized all these cakes had very similar proportions of one cup of flour, one cup of sugar and two eggs for each layer of a cake. The carrots, as I mentioned, have increased three-fold. I tweaked and blended and brought several versions along with a selection of cream cheese frostings to my morning coffee klatch to get feedback, until I landed on my ideal.

“They’re all very Moosewood,” my friend Allen said, after sampling his seventh square of carrot cake at the klatch. (If there’s one thing I’ve learned in this job, it’s that people love to be asked their opinion as much as they love free cake for breakfast.)

By Moosewood, Allen was referring to “The Moosewood Cookbook,” a groundbreaking vegetarian cookbook that came out of the Moosewood worker-owned collective in Ithaca, N.Y., in the 1970s and evokes a certain back-to-the-land, communal-living vibe. By “very Moosewood,” we both understood that he meant the cake was unrefined, perhaps even aspiring to be healthy.

“Carrot cake is supposed to be Moosewood,” I said. “For all we know, Moosewood invented carrot cake.”

Unfortunately, we likely will never know who invented carrot cake. But no matter, because carrot cake continues to be reinvented. It is the people’s cake. A peaceful warrior. Its tolerance for self-expression is part of the appeal of carrot cake.

Switch up the nuts. Add a big handful of dried fruit. Go ahead, add canned pineapple or a cupful of applesauce if you must. (I never do.) Throw in some desiccated coconut or a few gratings of lemon or orange zest. Use whole wheat flour in place of white flour, or olive oil in place of vegetable oil, and nothing bad is going to happen. (I barely notice a difference with either one.) Some bakers these days even replace the carrots with parsnips, butternut squash, rutabaga or sweet potatoes.

Far out, I know.

Ancient Greek workshop reveals unfinished sculptures in archaeological discovery

No Comments on Ancient Greek workshop reveals unfinished sculptures in archaeological discovery

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Archaeologists recently excavated an ancient workshop in Greece, revealing a trove of unfinished projects and other curiosities.

The project was announced by Greece’s Ministry of Culture in a Facebook post in May. In a statement translated from Greek to English, officials said the excavation took place at the Floga archaeological site, which is on the Greek island of Paros.

Though the workshop didn’t come as a surprise to officials – archaeologists have been studying the site since the mid-1980s – excavators uncovered numerous intriguing finds during the latest dig.

EXPERTS SHOCKED BY ANCIENT KING ARTHUR MANUSCRIPT FOUND TUCKED INSIDE BOOK: ‘SURVIVED THE CENTURIES’

Specifically, the investigation brought “new architectural remains” to light, plus various eating vessels and storage items.

“Some of [the architectural remains] are founded on earlier constructions, documenting the site’s continuous use over time,” the statement said. “The latest remains are connected to earlier phases dating from the late 5th to the 4th century BC.”

The press release added, “The movable finds from the earlier installation (fragments of vessels, mainly tableware for eating and drinking, and fewer utilitarian or storage items) document the residential use of the site during the Classical period.”

Archaeologists also uncovered new rooms at the complex, noting the walls were preserved at an “impressive height.”

The recently uncovered artifacts at the site included unfinished marble sculptures, clay stamps and various fragments of pottery.

“The movable finds are of exceptional interest, including semi-finished marble sculptures, mainly of Aphrodite, clay heads of female figures, as well as clay molds and stamps, while a very large quantity of pottery was collected,” the statement said.

Based on their observations, archaeologists found that the site was reorganized at the end of the third century B.C., serving as both a residential space and a sculpture workshop.

“The discovery of a room with a pebble floor and sections of wall painting imitating marble slabs, identified as an andron (men’s room), reinforces this interpretation,” the statement said.

“However, the extensive layer of marble chips deposited in the courtyard, covering the earlier phases, and the large number of semi-finished sculptures, document the additional use of the site as a sculpture workshop.”

Ancient Greek discoveries are of high interest to archaeologists.

Earlier this spring, a German university announced that the lecture hall of an “impressive high school” from an Ancient Greek settlement was uncovered.

No Comments on The Best Read-It-Later Apps for Curating Your Longreads

It’s not easy keeping up with everything that’s written on the web, especially not if you’ve got a dozen open browser tabs vying for your attention. This is where read-it-later apps come in.

These apps let you siphon off articles you want to get back to later, at a more leisurely pace, when the work of the day is done. You can catch up on your reading in bed, on the subway, over breakfast, or whenever you like.

Sadly, we just lost one of the more capable read-it-later apps: Mozilla is shutting down Pocket as it focuses its efforts on its Firefox browser, and Pocket data will be permanently deleted on October 8. If you’re looking for a new home for your archive of articles, or you’re keen to see what read-it-later apps are capable of doing for the first time, you’ll find our pick for the best options below.

Instapaper

Instapaper offers a clean, calm interface.

Instapaper is one of the oldest and most comprehensive read-it-later apps out there, and it does a fine job of turning chaotic webpages into calm, orderly blocks of text that look like they’re displayed on an e-reader. Articles can be added straight from your browser, pasted in manually, or added via email, and there are apps for reading saved articles in the web browser and on your mobile devices.

There are lots of neat little features hidden away in Instapaper, like the ability to organize articles with folders and tags. If you decide you like Instapaper enough, there’s a paid tier too: For $6 a month it adds features including the option to have articles read out to you, a “’speed read”’ mode that displays one word at a time, and the ability to send articles to an Amazon Kindle.

Instapaper (freemium) for web, Android, iOS

Feedly

Use Feedly to track your favorite sites on the web.

Courtesy of David Nield

Feedly can help you keep up with everything being published on your favorite sites, and curate a read-it-later list of articles you want to get back to when you have the time. You get a host of features for sorting the incoming deluge of posts, from filters and keyword searches to folders for organization and a choice of list layouts across your devices.

Svaka peta žena doživi moždani udar. Jedno piće može smanjiti rizik

Post author By admin

Post date June 8, 2025

No Comments on Svaka peta žena doživi moždani udar. Jedno piće može smanjiti rizik

MOŽDANI udar jedan je od vodećih uzroka smrti među ženama, i to češći nego kod muškaraca. Prema podacima Američke udruge za moždani udar, svaka peta žena doživi moždani udar tijekom života. Rizični čimbenici često su povezani s hormonskim promjenama, trudnoćom i korištenjem kontracepcije, a veliki utjecaj ima i visoki krvni tlak.

Ipak, stručnjaci ističu da se većina moždanih udara može spriječiti uz nekoliko pametnih životnih izbora. Jedan od njih mogao bi biti jednostavniji nego što mislimo: nova studija sugerira da svakodnevno ispijanje čaja može pomoći u smanjenju rizika.

Manje rizika sa svakom šalicom čaja

Studija objavljena u znanstvenom časopisu Frontiers in Nutrition analizirala je podatke više od 5700 žena u dobi od 20 do 60 godina. Pokazalo se da žene koje su redovito pile čaj imaju manji rizik od moždanog udara – i to za 9% za svakih dodatnih 100 grama popijenog čaja dnevno. Najveće koristi primijećene su kod onih koje su pile između tri i pet šalica dnevno.

Važno je i kako pijemo čaj. Istraživači su otkrili da žene koje čaj piju bez šećera imaju još manji rizik, što dodatno potvrđuje koliko prehrambene navike utječu na zdravlje.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

Zeleni čaj posebno koristan

Zeleni i crni čaj pokazali su pozitivan učinak, no zeleni se ističe zbog visokog udjela antioksidansa. Studija iz 2021. otkrila je da žene koje su preživjele moždani udar i konzumirale litru i pol zelenog čaja dnevno imaju čak 62% manji rizik od smrti.

Naravno, čaj nije čudotvoran napitak, ali može biti dio šire slike zdravog života. Prestanak pušenja, umjerena tjelovježba, kontrola stresa i uravnotežena prehrana i dalje su ključni koraci.

Dok čekate pregled ili rezultate pretraga, možda nije loša ideja uliti si šalicu toplog čaja, bez šećera, i nazdraviti vlastitom zdravlju.

Najbolji miris za vaš horoskopski znak, prema astrologu i parfumeru

Post author By admin

Post date June 8, 2025

No Comments on Najbolji miris za vaš horoskopski znak, prema astrologu i parfumeru

Pri kreiranju rubrike Index Shopping nastojimo izdvajati odlične proizvode koji se i nama sviđaju te odlične akcije i popuste. Ne objavljujemo proizvode koje i sami ne bismo kupili ili smatramo da njihova promocija nije u skladu s profesionalnim standardima. Neki proizvodi u rubrici Index Shopping mogu biti sponzorirani.

PRONALAŽENJE svog prepoznatljivog mirisa zahtijeva vrijeme i strpljenje, ali poznavanje svojeg horoskopskog znaka moglo bi pomoći u bržem dolasku do cilja. Nemojte se usredotočiti samo na svoj sunčani znak – podznak i znak Venere jednako su važni, ako ne i važniji.

“Podznak je način na koji se predstavljamo svijetu. On govori mnogo o našem izgledu i fizičkom tijelu. Znak Venere govori o tome kako se možemo razmaziti. To je luksuz, njega kože, moda, šminka i mirisi”, kaže slavna astrologinja Ally Lewber za InStyle.

Venera također predstavlja romantiku; Lewber je naziva “seksi znakom”. Dakle, bilo da tražite parfem koji ćete koristiti svaki dan ili onaj koji ćete nanijeti prije večernjeg izlaska, postoji mnoštvo opcija. InStyle, uz preporuke astrologinje Ally Lewber i parfumerke Bérénice Watteau, izdvaja mirise koji najbolje predstavljaju svaki horoskopski znak u natalnoj karti.

Ovan

Prvi horoskopski znak, kaže Lewber, znak je avanture, preuzimanja rizika i energije. Kao vatreni znak, mogli bi ga privlačiti mirisi sa zadimljenim ili drvenastim notama. Lewber također preporučuje da potražite tople, smjele začine i bogate, upečatljive gurmanske mirise, poput višnje s notom likera.

Parfemi za Ovna: Matiere Premiere Crystal Saffron Eau de Parfum, Fine’ry Not Another Cherry Eau de Parfum i Tom Ford Black Orchid Eau de Parfum.

Bik

Bikom vlada Venera, što znači da je posebno povezan s luksuzom i estetikom. “Bikovi vole naporno raditi, ali i uživati. Vole uživati u nagradama: kupovini, dobroj hrani, ispijanju kvalitetnog vina”, kaže Lewber i preporučuje umirujuće i prizemljujuće parfeme s notama lavande, cedra i sandalovine ili pak lagane cvjetne mirise.

Parfemi za Bika: Maison Louis Marie No.13 Nouvelle Vague Eau de Parfum, Veronique Gabai Délices des Bois i Aesop Aurner Eau de Parfum.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

Blizanci

“Blizanci su pripovjedači horoskopa, pa im je potreban miris koji im omogućuje da se osjećaju kao da pričaju priču. Oni vole eksperimentirati s mirisima”, kaže Lewber. Nemojte se ograničiti samo na jedan prepoznatljiv miris. Kao promjenjivom znaku, Blizancima odgovara širok raspon mirisa koji pristaju gotovo svakom raspoloženju i prilici.

Parfemi za Blizance: Régime des Fleurs Crushed Fruits Eau de Parfum, Whind Pomello Mint Tea Leaves Eau de Parfum i Dedcool 01 Taunt Eau de Parfum.

Rak

“Kad je Rak u pitanju, dominiraju nostalgija i prošlost. A budući da je Rak vodeni znak, takvi parfemi ostavljaju jednu vrstu lebdećeg, mističnog osjećaja”, kaže Lewber. Raka najviše privlače nostalgični mirisi koji ga podsjećaju na djetinjstvo ili mirisi svijeća uz koje se može opustiti kod kuće jer oni čine da se osjeća sigurno i zaštićeno.

Parfemi za Raka: Giorgio Armani Prive Pivoine Suzhou Eau de Toilette, Gabar 05 (Ludlow) Lull Eau de Parfum i Belnu Chai Fleur Eau de Parfum.

Lav

“Lavovima vlada sunce, što im daje prirodnu karizmu i energiju koja privlači pažnju. Oni su duša zabave, oni su sunce, pa su svi pogledi usmjereni na njih”, kaže Lewber. Lavovi trebaju tražiti smjele, koketne mirise, možda s daškom dima ili začina, koji će zajamčeno privlačiti poglede.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

Parfemi za Lava: The Harmonist Hypnotizing Fire, Valentino Donna Born in Roma Intense Eau de Parfum i Alloy Studio Idyllic.

Djevica

Analitičan i duhovit, ovaj znak sklon je čistim, svježim mirisima. Djevica je poznata kao “pomoćnik” horoskopa i sve se vrti oko napornog rada i učinkovitosti, ali Lewber dodaje da Djevica još uvijek voli uživati u luksuzu, bilo da je velik ili mali.

Parfemi za Djevicu: Obvious Parfums Milk & Matcha, D.S. & DURGA Rose Atlantic i Liis Studied Eau de Parfum.

Vaga

Vaga je najpoznatija po svojem harmoničnom karakteru, ali i neodlučnosti. Prema Lewber, to znači da vjerojatno svaka Vaga ima rotaciju mirisa koje voli, a ne samo jedan prepoznatljiv miris. Kaže da Vage privlače lagani cvjetni mirisi, oni koji svima mirišu lijepo i koji donose pregršt komplimenata. Budući da je zračni znak, Vaga uvijek prati što je u trendu u svijetu mirisa.

Parfemi za Vagu: PHLUR Strawberry Letter Eau de Parfum, Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau de Toilette i Santa Maria Novella Medici Garden L’Iris Eau de Parfum.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

Škorpion

“Škorpion je vrlo intenzivan, vrlo moćan znak”, kaže Lewber i preporučuje miris s dimnim, tajanstvenim notama poput tamjana i drva ili eterealne mirise koje je teško opisati riječima. Što god odaberete, tražite miris s nekom skrivenom složenošću – Lewber ovaj znak uspoređuje s “dubokim, tamnim oceanom”.

Parfemi za Škorpiona: Mabelle O’Rama Lunar Dust Eau de Parfum, MALIN+GOETZ Leather Eau de Parfum i Jil Sander Smoke.

Strijelac

Strijelac uvijek skače s jedne stvari na drugu, pa nije čudo da vjerojatno nema samo jedan prepoznatljiv miris – ili čak cijelu bočicu parfema. Umjesto toga, Lewber kaže da Strijelac vjerojatno ima zalihu putnih verzija parfema koje nosi na svaku avanturu. Tražite onaj zbog kojeg se osjećate “živo” ili koji vas podsjeća na omiljeno putovanje.

Parfemi za Strijelca: Vacation After Sun Eau de Toilette, Imaginary Authors In Love With Everything i NOYZ The Solid Fragrance Sh**ty Day.

Jarac

Koliko god bio ambiciozan i vrijedan, Jarac zna koliko je važno ugoditi samome sebi. “Oni su znak koji, čak i kad su na Zoom pozivu, još uvijek prskaju parfem”, kaže Lewber i dodaje: “Uvijek žele mirisati dobro, bez obzira na to tko je oko njih, pa čak i ako nema nikoga.” U tom duhu preporučuje sofisticirane, “prizemljujuće” mirise.

Parfemi za Jarca: YSL Libre Absolu Platine Eau de Parfum, Arquiste The Architects Club i Comme des Garçons Black Pepper Eau de Parfum.

Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa

Vodenjak

Lewber ovaj znak naziva najtežim za odgonetnuti: “Ako si Vodenjak u podznaku, Veneri ili Suncu, vjerojatno biraš nešto iz nekog slučajnog razloga koji nitko ne razumije. Možda je to miris tvoje najbolje prijateljice iz djetinjstva koji te podsjeća na nju”.

Vodenjak uživa u zajednici i grupama ljudi, pa bi mogao izabrati miris koji djeluje vrlo gostoljubivo i toplo; nešto što kaže: “Dolazim u miru”.

Parfemi za Vodenjaka: Maison Margiela Replica When the Rain Stops Eau de Toilette, Binaurale Matchbox Romance Eau de Parfum i Future Society Invisible Woods Eau de Parfum.

Ribe

“S Ribama idemo potpuno u ljetno, odmorišno raspoloženje. Ribe su u bijegu od stvarnosti. Vole eskapizam”, kaže Lewber i preporučuje sunčane, tropske mirise koji prizivaju osjećaj odmora na udaljenom otoku ili pak meke, sanjive mirise koji odražavaju bogat unutarnji svijet ovog znaka.

Parfemi za Ribe: The 7 Virtues Coconut Sun Eau de Parfum, Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 59 Delicia Hair & Body Perfume Mist i Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb Tiger Lily Eau de Parfum.

What are buyers saying on Amazon?

What new technologies do microwave ovens use in 2025?

Microwave ovens in 2025 offer much more than basic heating. Many now include convection cooking, grill modes, auto-cook menus, and low-oil or diet fry features. Some models even have sensors that adjust time and power automatically depending on the dish inside.

Why do people care about stainless steel cavities?

Stainless steel interiors heat food more evenly and are easier to clean. They also resist stains and don’t absorb food smells, which makes a big difference when you’re using the microwave regularly for different types of dishes.

Are smart features like app control useful?

They sound interesting, but for daily use most people stick with physical buttons. Unless you like tech and plan to use your phone to control the microwave often, this feature doesn’t really change how you cook.

Is Diet Fry mode actually helpful?

Diet fry is helpful if you like snacks with less oil. It uses hot air and controlled heating to make items like tikkis, samosas, or fries less greasy. It’s not a deep fry replacement, but a decent option for lighter eating.

Factors to consider when purchasing the best microwave oven in 2025:

Type of microwave: Go solo if you just need to heat food. Choose a grill if you like toasted or crispy dishes. Pick convection if you want to bake or roast.

Size and capacity: Smaller sizes 20 to 25 litres are fine for singles or couples. Families of 3 to 4 should look at 25 to 30 litres. Bigger households may need 30 litres and above.

Auto cook menus: They save time. Just pick a dish and the microwave sets the time and heat for you.

Power levels: More levels give you better control. Useful when heating something delicate or thick.

Cleaning: Stainless steel or ceramic interiors are much easier to wipe down after cooking.

Features you’ll actually use: Ignore flashy extras if they don’t fit your daily cooking. Focus on what helps you regularly.

‘Working with Tom is Incredible’

Post date June 8, 2025

No Comments on ‘Working with Tom is Incredible’

Are you someone who enjoys the physical aspect of making movies like this?

I enjoy it when I’m able to do the stunts. I played rugby at school and am physically quite confident and strong in that department. I’m used to being knocked down, brushing myself off and going for it again. The stunt team on this is amazing. But I do like to do as much as I am allowed to.

Have your movie missions with Tom left you with any special skills that might come in handy in real life?

They have. I’ve learnt martial arts. I know how to drift in a car. So, now every time I give someone a lift, they are like, ‘Oh God, please no! I can also now backflip over a bridge, jump backwards off of a moving train and run uphill in high heels. I’m not sure when those skills might be useful.

Do you prefer working on big blockbuster movies, smaller independent films or theatre?

I love them all. I feel very lucky that I get to do all of it. When I came out of drama school, it was a different time. There was a sense of having to do one or the other and just being happy to be employed. Times have changed. Now you can do big franchises, independent cinema, theatre and television.

Movers & Shakers: Stocks That Will See Action This Week

Post author By admin

Post date June 8, 2025

No Comments on Movers & Shakers: Stocks That Will See Action This Week

Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail (₹77.79)

Tests a crucial base

The stock of Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail got hammered and it lost a little over 16 per cent over the past three weeks. However, there are important supports ahead, which can arrest the downtrend. The ₹73-77 is the nearest base followed by ₹68 and ₹62. Given this, the stock can establish an uptrend within the broad price region between ₹62 and ₹77.

On the upside, the scrip can rally to retest the resistance at ₹118. Note that the uptrend might slow temporarily at ₹96 and ₹105, potential hurdles. Buy the stock at ₹77 and accumulate at ₹68. Place stop-loss at ₹60. Raise the stop-loss to ₹85 and ₹96 when the price rises to ₹96 and ₹105 respectively. Book profits at ₹118.

IDFC First Bank (₹71.52)

Confirms bullish reversal

The stock of IDFC First Bank has been rallying since early April after it found support at ₹53. By mid-May, it broke out of a barrier at ₹66 and last week, it formed another higher high, confirming that the trend has turned bullish. While there might be a temporary fall, possibly to ₹68-69 price band, it will eventually resume the rally.

We expect it to touch ₹95 over the next few months. Therefore, traders can buy the stock of IDFC First Bank at ₹71 and accumulate if the price dips to ₹69. Place stop-loss at ₹62 at first. Shift this higher to ₹79 when the stock appreciates to ₹85. Tighten the stop-loss further to ₹85 when the price rises to ₹90. Liquidate the longs at ₹95.

Zydus Wellness (₹1,944.95)

Set to resume the rally

The stock of Zydus Wellness has been appreciating since early March. It began moving up after finding support at ₹1,550. In the recent sessions, the price action shows that the uptrend has slowed and the stock has been consolidating. However, the overall bull trend stays valid and we expect the rally to resume soon.

The stock can touch ₹2,350 before the end of this year. As it moves up, there could be consolidation at ₹2,100 and ₹2,200. Hence, go long on the stock at ₹1,940 and buy more shares at ₹1,850. Place stop-loss at ₹1,750. Alter the stop-loss to ₹1,950 when the stock touches ₹2,100. Revise the stop-loss to ₹2,100 when the price hits ₹2,200. Exit at ₹2,350.

L.A. Times reader responses: favorite cookbooks and recipes

Post author By admin

Post date June 8, 2025

No Comments on L.A. Times reader responses: favorite cookbooks and recipes

What priceless items would you grab when fleeing disaster? It’s a sobering question that thousands of Angelenos were forced to answer when wildfires erupted across the region in January.

That experience made us curious about our own emotional attachment to cookbooks and the titles that have had the most impact on our cooking. Our Food writers — and a handful of local chefs and culinary figures — recently rounded up 62 cookbooks that we can’t live without, spanning memoirs, out-of-print pamphlets, collector’s items and forthcoming releases.

We also invited L.A. Times readers to share the cookbooks they cherish most, including the recipes that they can’t get enough of. Here are some of their responses:

“I also lost my cookbook collection in the Palisades fire. My daughters posted a picture of my cookbooks on their Instagram and cookbooks started arriving from all over the country,” wrote Amy Lebenzon.

Lebenzon names “Plenty” and “Plenty More” by Yotam Ottolenghi as two favorites, and in particular Ottolenghi’s Chickpea and Tomato Bread Soup, Barley and Pomegranate salad and Cabbage and Kohlrabi Salad recipes.

Barbara Thompson’s top five cookbooks and recipes include: Blueberry Lemon Verbena Galette from “Pie School” by Kate Lebo; Croissant Bread Pudding from “Barefoot Contessa” by Ina Garten; general recipe instructions in “How to Cook Everything” by Mark Bittman; Creamed Corn and Magic Carrots from “The Los Angeles Times California Cookbook” by Betsy Balsley; and “Nordstrom Entertaining at Home Cookbook” by John Clem.

“All my cookbooks burned in the Palisades fire,” wrote Janet Davis. “I’ve replaced my two (1976 and 1998) copies of ‘Joy of Cooking,’ a couple of Sunset magazine cookbooks and ‘The Vegetarian Epicure Book 2’ by Anna Thomas.”

Davis adds that, “My entire Thanksgiving dinner is bookmarked in the 1998 edition of ‘Joy of Cooking’: Cranberry Sauce, Yams with Apples, Creamed Onions, Spinach Salad, Gravy. The 1976 edition has the better split pea soup recipe; my family is waiting for a batch.”

“When my house burned down,” wrote Kim Janssen, senior director of content strategy here at The Times, “the one personal possession I saved — beyond a small overnight bag of clothes — was a cookbook my mum handmade for me when my wife and I bought our first place in Chicago a decade ago. When she died last year, I scanned it and made a bunch of copies to give to folks at her funeral. I keep it in the kitchen and cook from it often. I love that she made a handwritten index and included oven temps inside the cover.”

Amateur baker Jim Potter, who lost his house in the Eaton fire, told us about his five essential bread books: “The Perfect Loaf: The Craft and Science of Sourdough Breads, Sweets, and More” by Maurizio Leo, “a home baker who left his job as a software engineer to devote himself to bread. Leo maintained the Perfect Loaf website for many years before producing this indispensable book. The pictures, clear instructions, a smattering of scientific explanation and helpful recipe timelines showcase Leo’s exacting analytical mind and his life’s passion for baking.

“Trained as a chemical engineer, Melissa Weller changed careers after baking every recipe in Nancy Silverton’s foundational ‘Breads From the La Brea Bakery.’ Her subsequent training, and her experience as head baker, not least at Per Se, shows in the precision of her recipes in ‘A Good Bake.’ She has the last challah recipe you’ll need and the best morning glory buns you could ask for.

“My first bread book was ‘Tartine’ by Chad Robertson. And here is the great irony: The recipes in this book and its sequels are deeply unclear and practically impossible to follow. Yet somehow ‘Tartine’ taught me and countless others how to make beautiful bread — and to fall in love with baking. I will be forever grateful.

“Jeffrey Hamelman, the chief baker at King Arthur, approaches his job with reverence. In ‘Bread,’ he writes, ‘I believe that, in the lives of many bakers, an immense inner dignity develops from the daily immersion in the labor of the bake.’ This is the first book I turn to when I want a recipe for a particular bread such as one made with spelt or einkorn. Hamelman always has it and with useful tips. Someday I will succeed with one of his three-state rye breads.

“Apollonia Poilâne has the best origin story of any bread book author — who can compete with her running the best bakery in Paris while a freshman at Harvard? Along with Peter Reinhart and Éric Kayser, Poilâne validates using sourdough and commercial yeast together. In ‘Poilâne: The Secrets of the World-Famous Bread Bakery,’ she has a recipe for rye and currant bread, which I make as rolls (90 to 100 grams each). Crusty on the outside, soft, studded with currants within, nourishing and just sweet enough, they’re my most requested bread. After the fire, those rolls, as much as anything, assured us life would resume, even without the house we loved so much.”

The cookbooks and recipes that Katie Lipsitt can’t live without are: Minestrone Soup, Tomato Sauce and Meatballs from “Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking“ by Marcella Hazan; Buttermilk Chicken from “Salt Fat Acid Heat by Samin Nosrat; “all the pizzas” from “The River Cafe Cookbook” by Rose Gray and Ruth Rogers; vegetable and salad dishes from “Nothing Fancy” by Alison Roman; and Turkey Zucchini Meatballs with Yogurt from “Jerusalem” by Yotam Ottolenghi.

“I have my grandmother‘s copy of ‘The Settlement Cook Book’ and my mother‘s ‘Joy of Cooking,’ which I treasure. (The notes written inside are wonderful.) My favorite cookbook is ‘San Francisco à La Carte,’ which was published by the Junior League in the 1970s. And just to be a little silly, I have my original ‘Betty Crocker Cookbook for Boys and Girls.’ I used that cookbook to teach myself how to cook when I was a child in the 1950s,” wrote Margot Tobias.

Heidi Haaland calls these five cookbooks “Mandatory rereading, particularly during times of stress”: “Christmas Memories Cookbook” by editors Connie Colom, Lynn Anderson and Lois Klee with illustrator Lynn Anderson and a roster of ’80s chefs and writers; “The Country Kitchen Cook Book” by Edward Harris Heth; “Pure & Simple: An InCircle Cookbook,” published by Nieman Marcus; “Holiday Gifts From a Country Kitchen” by Mary Reynolds Smith; and “A Child’s Christmas Cookbook” by the Denver Museum of Art.

“When I was 18, I went to France to care for four children as an au pair. The family lived in Alsace. The mother was an American woman named Carol and married to a French man. She had a copy of ‘Mastering the Art of French Cooking’ and taught me to cook from it. I still have my original copy that I purchased once I was back home in California. It’s been my cooking bible for over 40 years. While I was in Alsace I picked up a book I still use, ‘Petit Recueil de la Gastronomie Alsacienne’ by Jeanne Hertzog. Carol and I often prepared Alsatian dishes like Choucroute Garnie. This little book allowed me to make many of these dishes once I was back in the States. Another book I treasure is ‘Laurel’s Kitchen: A Handbook for Vegetarian Cookery and Nutrition,’” wrote Charles Thompson.

DeeAnn Wong refers most often to “Burma” by Naomi Duguid for its Japanese Pickled Cucumbers, Tomato and Spinach Salad, Eggplant Salad and Egg Curry recipes; and “Jerusalem” by Yotam Ottolenghi for Roasted chicken with Ouzo and Clementines.

According to Beth Glazener, “I use a ton of recipes that come from various magazines, cookbooks and the recipe repository on America’s Test Kitchen, Cook’s Country and Cook’s Illustrated websites. I happen to use a bunch from ‘Baking Illustrated,’ like Banana Bread, Sugar Cookies, American Sandwich Bread, Whole Wheat Bread, Buttermilk Biscuits, Thick and Chewy Gingerbread Cookies, Yellow Layer Cake, Rich Chocolate Cream Frosting, Ham and Asparagus Quiche, Molasses Spice Cookies, Maple Syrup Pecan Pie and Brown Sugar and Bourbon Whipped Cream (it’s to die for on top of the pecan pie).”

Barbara Felsinger’s go-to title is “The Moosewood Cookbook” by Mollie Katzen. The Pea Soup, Spinach Ricotta Pie, Rebaked Stuffed Potatoes and Gazpacho are her favorite recipes.

Anne Whitacre wrote that, “I cooked my way through a 1973 edition of ‘The Seasonal Kitchen: A Return to Fresh Foods’ by Perla Meyers in my 20s and 30s and still return to it for recipes that are ranked easy, medium or hard and in three ranges of cost, especially Coquilles Saint-Jacques Printanier, Blueberries in Lemon Mousse; Salmon Steaks Suedoise and, of course, Spaghettini Primavera.”

The most loved titles from The Times’ former cartoonist for restaurant reviews, Donna Barstow, include, “An early edition of ‘Joy of Cooking’ from my grandmother that’s falling apart. The original chocolate mousse recipe is written as if it’s perfectly normal to crave such a decadent dish, with no guilt implied. And ‘The Cake Bible’ by Rose Levy Beranbaum, because in the preface, she explains that she fell in love with her husband when he said he weighed science ingredients the same way she did with cake recipes! Can’t resist a good love story! Plus, she invented a new way to combine ingredients: flour with butter versus sugar with butter makes a richer cake.”

“My journey into appreciating the literary qualities of cookbooks came from my own work as an author. When I finished a draft of my first book, I had spent hours and hours in libraries doing research and, as some relief, wanted to start a project that involved more physicality. We had just welcomed our second son into our family, so I also wanted a project to do at home. Thus, I cooked up the idea of working my way through an entire cookbook and landed on Alice Waters’ ‘Chez Panisse Menu Cookbook.’ I did it over the course of several years. This project pushed me into some complex lessons that remain with me to this day, namely, to think simply about the ingredients and build a meal up from their purity. That exemplified her approach, even if her first cookbook sometimes deviated from that mission. Journeying on to more of her cookbooks, and some of those by her collegial chefs, led me to understand her original vision,” wrote Tom Kemper.

Reddit drama goes viral as woman slams hotel shower designs

No Comments on Reddit drama goes viral as woman slams hotel shower designs

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

A thread on Reddit went viral after a woman criticized the designers, installers and others responsible for “the stupid showers at hotels,” saying she cannot step into a shower while traveling and not “be blasted by cold water that gets my head wet.”

Over 6,000 people reacted to the post to date, and nearly 1,000 comments have come in, some sharing frustrations about the hotel travel experience.

“Who designs the stupid showers at hotels?” the woman wrote in her post on social media, addressing her note to “male hotel room designers.”

FLIGHT PASSENGERS COMPLAIN ABOUT MASKLESS COUGHING ON BOARD AS SUMMER TRAVEL HEATS UP

She wrote, “I’m a woman. I don’t wash my hair every day. Please give me a way to turn on the shower without having to get in and be blasted by cold water that gets my head wet.

“I miss shower curtains, and now we have glass walls that don’t move.”

She closed her post with, “Signed, A Traveler with Loyalty Status.”

In an edit, she later added, “Wow, the number of times I have been called bleeping feminist (or worse) on this post is kinda s—–. I have no problem being a feminist, thank you.”

MAJOR AIRLINE HOLDING FLIGHTS TO ACCOMMODATE FLYERS WITH CONNECTIONS

The woman then offered more context.

“The start of this was a conversation I had with a male colleague who has opened eight hotels (under different flags), and he had never considered that not all people wash their hair every day,” she wrote.

“We also talked about rain showerheads,” she wrote, “and [the] lack of other amenities geared toward women travelers.”

People who responded to the post shared their own ideas for improving the hotel room experience.

“I want a door on my shower.”

“Please make sure there are hooks in the bathroom,” wrote one person.

Another person wrote, “I want a shower that is fully enclosed so that I’m not cold and there isn’t water all over the floor after the shower! I also want counter space to set [up] my toiletries! Is that so hard?”

“Please make sure there are hooks in the bathroom,” one person wrote. (Smith Collection/Gado/Getty Images)

Another commenter said, “Expensive hotel doesn’t mean great shower design.”

Another person wrote, “I want a door on my shower.”

She added, “In the long run, I am certain the money they saved [by] not putting a door on the shower is wasted in energy costs as I have to turn up the hot water during the shower.”

“Expensive hotel,” wrote one person, “doesn’t mean great shower design.” (iStock)

Said another person, “Do not make me climb into the shower to turn the water on. Have the faucet on the same side as entry so we can reach in.”
