What may have been a Roman soldier’s monthly paycheck has emerged from under the ground, officials announced this month.
British officials recently unveiled the discovery of a 1,900-year-old Roman coin hoard in the county of Norfolk, England.
The hoard consists of 25 silver denarii in total, equal to the monthly salary of a Roman legionary — or citizen soldier.
RARE CHRISTIAN CROSS AMONG SPECTACULAR 1,000-YEAR-OLD VIKING TREASURES FOUND BY METAL DETECTORISTS
Adrian Marsden, a coin specialist for the county, told Fox News Digital the hoard was found in 2023, near the village of Great Ellingham.
The numismatist said the cache was found by a lucky metal detectorist, who handed it over to local authorities.

The coins were spread throughout the field due to farming activity over the centuries, said Marsden.
“We’ve had a few hoards like this over the years, scattered by the plow and often of a similar size,” he said.
Historians estimate the coins were lost between the 160s and the 170s.
ANCIENT ROMAN’S ‘MISHAP’ LEADS TO RARE JEWELRY DISCOVERY IN BRITISH COUNTRYSIDE
“The latest coins [in the hoard] show very little wear and cannot have seen much circulation before the hoard’s deposition,” Marsden added.
Seven of the denarii depict Emperor Hadrian, while others show the profiles of Emperor Vespasian and Trajan.

Two coins feature Marcus Aurelius — one during his time as Caesar, another as emperor.
The coins had a variety of reverse types, or symbolic images on their tail sides. One is a personification of Africa, as a celebration of Rome’s provinces on the continent.
“This was a wealthy agricultural area in the Roman period.”
Another artifact was a Judaea Capta coin, minted to commemorate Rome’s capture of Judaea and destruction of the Second Jewish Temple.

Though an exciting discovery, Marsden noted it’s not unusual for the area.
The denarius was a standard silver coin used throughout the Roman Empire. A legionary in modern-day Norfolk was typically paid 25 denarii a month. (Andrew Williams, Norfolk County Council)
“There are plenty of Roman discoveries in the area, including the occasional small hoard,” he said.
“This was a wealthy agricultural area in the Roman period.”

Ancient Romans began settling in Britain in 43 A.D. through an invasion led by Emperor Claudius, after a previous invasion under Julius Caesar failed.
After nearly four centuries, the Romans began withdrawing in 410 A.D. – but not without leaving remnants behind that are still found today in the U.K.

Other Video Doorbells to Consider
I’ve tested several other video doorbells. These are the ones that narrowly missed out on a place above.
Photograph: Simon Hill
Doro Hemma Doorbell for £150: A simplified smart doorbell for seniors is a solid idea, and Swedish maker Doro gets plenty right with the Hemma. It is a battery-powered doorbell that’s easy to install and use, offering a 1440 x 1440-pixel resolution with a decent frame rate (30 fps), local recording via microSD card, and a plug-in ringer that gets loud enough to hear throughout the home. It worked reliably during testing, and the mobile app is deliberately straightforward, with a handy option to pass calls off to a trusted friend or family member (they’ll need the app too). The two-way audio works well, there’s a handy zoom function when you livestream, and there’s a siren to scare folks away. It is simplified, so there are no privacy zones or package alerts, and it may be too sensitive for busy front doors, though you can set it to alert just for doorbell rings. Battery life is decent, though the battery is not removable, so you need to take the doorbell off to charge or use a portable charger. Sadly, it is only available in the UK and Europe.
SimpliSafe Video Doorbell Pro for $170: If you’re looking for a solid security system, SimpliSafe is likely on your radar, and for folks with a SimpliSafe setup, the Video Doorbell Pro fits in neatly. Former WIRED reviewer Medea Giordano found it sensitive at first, but, after an update, she says it worked nearly perfectly, sending swift alerts and offering a good, clear view of her porch. Footage maxes out at 1080p, but the camera supports HDR to banish glare and has a 162-degree field of view. It does have to be wired, and you need a subscription from $5 per month to record videos, but SimpliSafe also offers the option of professional monitoring (from $32 per month), which is a rarity for doorbells and might make sense if you have a complete security system with them.

Ring Battery Video Doorbell Pro for $230: The top-of-the-line battery doorbell from Amazon’s Ring brand came close to earning a full recommendation. This Ring doorbell offers high-quality, crisp video with HDR support and color night vision. Notifications were swift and accurate, and two-way audio was relatively high quality. I appreciated the option to set multiple motion zones, including a potentially handy bird’s-eye zone that lets you define range. The preroll feature captures a few seconds before each clip (albeit at a lower resolution), which can be helpful. Because there’s no local recording option, you must subscribe to Ring Protect for $5/month ($50/year) for a single camera, but that also gets you a generous 180-day video storage, rich notifications, and person and package detection. But all these bells and whistles come at a premium, and battery life was disappointing (three weeks). You could mitigate this by buying a second battery to swap in, because it is removable, or opt for the Wired Doorbell Pro instead (though I have not tested it yet).
TP-Link Tapo (D230S1) Smart Battery Video Doorbell for $90: For folks seeking a local storage option that doesn’t require a monthly fee, Tapo’s smart video doorbell is worth a look. Notifications come through swiftly and include a still image; video quality is excellent, even at night, and the indoor hub takes a microSD card and doubles as a chime. On the downside, it is chunky, and the onboard AI (which is supposed to recognize people, pets, vehicles, and packages) is flaky.
Tough to Recommend
We didn’t like every video doorbell we tested. These are the ones we don’t recommend.

Imou Doorbell 2S Kit: Aside from being large and ugly, the Imou doorbell offers crisp video recording up to 2K with a 166-degree field of view, and it has a unique trick: the lens can rotate through 30 degrees to track subjects. The large size allows for a big battery, but this doorbell can also be hardwired. The kit includes a plug-in chime with a microSD card slot for local storage. Unfortunately, testing side by side with the Arlo, it failed to pick up some events. I also had major connection issues after changing my router, despite retaining the same network name and password. I had to reset the chime, which temporarily deleted the doorbell. It’s only available in the UK.
Reolink Video Doorbell (Battery): We liked Reolink’s wired doorbell, listed above, so I was excited to try its first battery-powered model, but it was a disappointment. It offers up to 2K footage with a 1:1 aspect ratio that gives you a complete view of the porch, but you must turn HDR on in the settings, and it has a relatively low frame rate (15 fps). I like the option to go subscription-free, but it means putting a microSD card in the doorbell itself, and this is a relatively easy doorbell to remove. Reolink suggests up to five months of battery life, but my first review unit died after less than two and refused to recharge. Reolink sent me a replacement, which is performing better, but when it does run out, the rechargeable battery inside cannot be removed, so you have to take the doorbell off to recharge it. Factor in the slightly confusing app, relatively slow loading times, and connection glitches, and this is impossible to recommend.

Ezviz EP3x Pro: This is a far better-looking doorbell than Ezviz’s previous models, and it’s nice to see solar panels as an option for doorbells, though you will need a porch capable of catching some rays. The video quality is good, and you get a split view (like the Eufy above) that includes packages or waiting cats on your doorstep. The distortion correction works well, and there is optional color night vision with a built-in light, though it only works at very close range. I appreciate the 2FA, with fingerprint login, and 32 GB of onboard storage (cloud storage is an optional extra). Sadly, if you use the solar panel, you can’t connect to your wired chime. The lack of HDR is disappointing, human detection was a bit off (it frequently said I was a cat), and I had issues with alerts failing to come through on some Android phones. (Even after following Ezviz’s instructions, they never worked reliably on my Xiaomi 14 Ultra.) This model is not yet available in the US.
Botslab Video Doorbell 2 Pro: The flaky setup procedure required a couple of restarts, and physical installation was no better, as the screws supplied were so cheap that one of the heads broke off. The camera has a fisheye effect, but you can correct it with different views. I liked the VR mode, which provides a 180-degree view of your front porch. It comes with a handy plug-in chime, alerts seem reliable, there is an HDR option, and you can record locally (32 GB included) or in the cloud. You can also set a detection range, which could be handy for street-facing cameras. But the app is confusing, with an AI tab that lists various skills available for purchase. There is a login history and a limit of two devices signed in at once, but no 2FA, which makes this impossible to recommend. It is versatile but also relatively expensive.
Wyze Video Doorbell Pro: The Wyze Video Doorbell Pro (7/10, WIRED Review) was our budget recommendation, but with caveats. It alerted reliably, offered clear video, and had accurate AI for people detection, but you need the Cam Plus subscription (from $3/month). This camera model was not one of those affected by the security flaw that Wyze failed to fix or report to customers for three years, but after repeated security breaches from Wyze, most recently exposing thousands of camera feeds to other customers, it’s hard to recommend its cameras anymore.
Swann SwannBuddy Video Doorbell: This doorbell comes with a wireless battery-powered chime and the option of local storage, but the positives end there. The video quality is poor, the app is painfully slow to load and glitchy, and the doorbell frequently fails to register motion. I found the battery life disappointing. I must also question the decision to provide local storage via a microSD card inserted in the doorbell (the chime would make more sense and be more secure).
Ezviz DB2 Video Doorbell: An affordable video doorbell that comes with a plug-in chime, the Ezviz DB2 works quite well, but it is very chunky and kind of ugly. Video footage is detailed, but I had issues with blown-out bright areas when the sun was shining. The app is solid and quick to load, doorbell presses trigger a call to your phone, and you can record locally by inserting a microSD card in the chime. Sadly, it only offers a very limited option to define motion zones—a big problem if you live on a busy street. I also found the battery life below average, and it’s tricky to remove.

DIJABETES tipa 2 postaje sve češći, no stručnjaci naglašavaju da je u mnogim slučajevima i dalje moguće spriječiti njegov razvoj. “Dijabetes tipa 2 razvija se kada tijelo postane otporno na inzulin”, objašnjava liječnik dr. Jorge Moreno za Parade. Iako gušterača u početku pokušava nadoknaditi pojačanom proizvodnjom inzulina, s vremenom dolazi do porasta razine šećera u krvi.
Nasljedni čimbenici, dob i etnička pripadnost mogu povećati rizik, ali upravo su svakodnevne navike ključne u prevenciji bolesti.
Jedna od navika koju endokrinolozi smatraju najštetnijom za zdravlje jest redovita konzumacija zaslađenih pića poput gaziranih sokova, kupovnih sokova i ledenih čajeva. “Takva pića gotovo uvijek povisuju razinu šećera u krvi”, upozorava endokrinologinja dr. Florence Comite. Posebno ističe opasnost od visokofruktoznog kukuruznog sirupa, čestog sastojka prerađenih napitaka.
Osim toga, i redovita konzumacija alkohola može negativno utjecati na razinu šećera, hormone i rad gušterače, što sve povećava rizik od dijabetesa.
Najvažnije je pratiti reakcije vlastitog tijela
Srećom, postoje navike koje mogu pomoći u smanjenju rizika. Stručnjaci savjetuju da obroke započinjemo s malo proteina – poput jaja, orašastih plodova ili jogurta – jer proteini usporavaju apsorpciju šećera i pridonose duljoj sitosti.

Također je važno uključiti vlakna u prehranu, ograničiti unos rafiniranih ugljikohidrata i redovito se kretati. “Brza šetnja od 30 minuta dnevno može imati velik učinak”, kaže dr. Comite.
Dodatni savjeti uključuju povremeni HIIT trening, vježbe snage, a za neke i povremeni post kao podršku regulaciji tjelesne težine. No bez obzira na pristup, najvažnije je pratiti reakciju vlastitog tijela.
“Hrana koja utječe na šećer kod jedne osobe možda neće imati isti učinak kod druge”, ističe dr. Comite i dodaje da korištenje uređaja za kontinuirano mjerenje glukoze može pomoći u donošenju pametnijih odluka.

The dating trends continue to give you the heebie-jeebies! The dating world seems to get more complicated as every second ticks by. Each week, there is a new dating trend to watch out for. As much as we hate to be the bearer of bad news, there is a new romantic phenomenon to add to your relationship lingo: ghostlighting. Yes, this one is spooky, but not in the way you are thinking. You are aware of ghosting and gaslighting, and when you combine the warning signs of both, you get the worst behaviour – ghostlighting. Ghosting is a manipulative tactic where an individual disappears and suddenly cuts off communication with another person. However, ghostlighting goes a step further by making you question ghosting in the first place. Let’s understand the new dating trend and warning signs to watch out for if a ‘ghostlighter’ tries to undermine you. What Is ‘Floodlighting’ in Dating? This New Relationship Trend Can Turn Your First Date Into an Emotional Rollercoaster.
Ghostlighting, Dating Trend Worst Than Ghosting
A combination of ghosting and gaslighting, ghostlighting is an unholy child of the two. If you need a refresher, ghosting is when a person suddenly disappears without an explanation after building a romantic connection with someone. A problematic offshoot of dating, it’s awful, confusing and shockingly common. On the other hand, gaslighting is a disturbing form of manipulation. When confronted, the emotional abusers spew a million excuses, deliberately attempt to distort your perception and act like you are making the whole thing up. Put both behaviours together, and you get ghostlighting. What Is Chameleoning? All About the New Gen Z Dating Term You Might Be Unknowingly Living.
A person carrying out ghostlighting will initially ghost someone, then return and gaslight them about the said ghosting. They will deliberately act like it never happened, make excuses and deny the other person’s reality. “Someone may use this tactic because they…do not know what they want in a relationship. When confronted, they feel anxiety and shame, and freeze, and then make up an excuse because they were too busy,” certified therapist Lee Phillips was quoted as saying in Oprah Daily.
Ghostlighting Signs To Watch Out For
- The first sign of ghostlighting is ghosting. They vanish suddenly without explanation, leaving the other person feeling confused or worried, often wondering what went wrong. They don’t want to hold themselves accountable for anything. Avoiding accountability allows them to bypass uncomfortable conversations and maintain a façade of protecting their ego and avoiding the repercussions of their actions.
- The second sign is that they return out of the blue with a “This thing made me think of you recently…” text (sans the gaslighting part). They act as if nothing happened and offer vague excuses before blaming the other person with the classic “You are overreacting.”
- One moment they are affectionate and invested, the next they withdraw, leaving you emotionally destabilised. They dismiss your concerns when you seek clarity. They rarely apologise, and often, they never apologise or admit their wrongdoing, shifting blame onto the other person or circumstances.
- They manipulate to create emotional dependency. The act of reappearing allows them to uphold the connection while circumventing emotionally challenging discussions. Emotional manipulation empowers ghostlighters with a false sense of control and influence, ensuring the other person remains emotionally dependent.
If you have encountered any of the above signs or been on the receiving end of ghostilighting, know it’s not your fault. Gaslighters and ghostlighters alike are experts in altering your perception. So, take the hints, listen to their behaviour and walk out with grace. You deserve much more than someone dropping you without explanation or accountability.

DJEVOJAČKE zabave trebale bi biti proslava prijateljstva i posljednjih dana slobode, no jedna buduća mladenka na svojoj je zabavi imala uistinu neočekivanog gosta. Naime, tijekom vikenda u šumskoj kolibi, njezinom društvu pridružio se medvjed.
Buduća mladenka, na TikToku poznata kao @blendedpeanut, 24. srpnja objavila je video koji je brzo postao viralan i skupio više od milijun pregleda. Na snimci se vidi mladi crni medvjed kako se oprezno približava kolibi, očito privučen mirisima s roštilja. Iako su djevojke ostale na sigurnoj udaljenosti, ostale su u šoku kada se životinja bez imalo ustručavanja poslužila njihovom večerom.
Djevojke su ispravno postupile povukavši se u sigurnost kuće, jer čak i s manjim medvjedom oprez je ključan. Životinja je bez oklijevanja ukrala hranu s roštilja, a djevojke su sve promatrale kroz staklena vrata, istovremeno nervozne i fascinirane.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Komentari na društvenim mrežama bili su urnebesni. “Djevojačka iz snova”, “Kako bezobrazno, to ti je vjenčana kuma”, “Samo se htjela pridružiti zabavi”, “Možda se i ona udaje”, pisali su gledatelji ispod objave.
Ovaj je susret, koliko god bio napet, zasigurno ostao nezaboravna uspomena djevojkama, ali vjerojatno i samom medvjedu jer je naišao na takvu gozbu.
Susreti s medvjedima sve su češći
Iako se možemo našaliti da je medvjed htio sudjelovati na vjenčanju, ovakvi susreti podsjetnik su na sve češću prisutnost divljih životinja u blizini naselja. U SAD-u su poznati slučajevi medvjeda koji provaljuju u kuće i automobile u potrazi za hranom, što služi kao upozorenje da se ova znatiželjna, ali potencijalno opasna stvorenja nikada ne smiju podcjenjivati.

KAD se pripremaju druženja, zabave ili tek tjedna nabavka za obitelj, pića su nezaobilazan dio svake košarice. Bilo da tražite nešto za rashlađivanje nakon vrućeg dana ili praktično rješenje za cijelu obitelj, veliki formati pića često su najbolji izbor.

Izotonična i energetska pića često se koriste za podršku tijelu tijekom fizičkog napora, ali imaju različite funkcije. Izotonična pića pomažu u nadoknadi tekućine, elektrolita i ugljikohidrata izgubljenih znojenjem, dok energetska pića sadrže kofein i šećere te su namijenjena za razbuđivanje.

Nezaobilazna pića za zabave

Indian stock markets opened sharply lower on Thursday, witnessing a major sell-off after US President Donald Trump announced a 25 per cent tariff on Indian goods, along with penalties on purchases of Russian crude and defence equipment.
The move has triggered widespread concern among investors and raised fears of a slowdown in exports and overall business sentiment.
At the opening bell, the Nifty 50 index dropped to 24,642.25, falling by 212.80 points or 0.86 per cent. The BSE Sensex also declined sharply, opening at 80,695.50 after losing 786.36 points or 0.97 per cent.
The bearish sentiment extended across the broader market indices as well, with Nifty Midcap 100 falling more than 1 per cent and Nifty Smallcap 100 also down by 1.01 per cent during the opening session.
According to market experts, while the impact of the US tariff announcement is expected to be short-term, India needs to take immediate steps to boost domestic consumption, as its exports will be hit. This could potentially impact business confidence and slow down the economy.
Ajay Bagga, a banking and market expert, told ANI, “The 25 per cent punitive tariffs on India with the threat of secondary tariffs due to buying Russian oil will have a short-term impact on Indian markets. India exports $87 billion of goods to the US while importing $45 billion of goods from the US.”
He further pointed out that sectors such as electronics, smartphones, textiles, gems and jewellery, leather goods, engineering goods, seafood and chemicals will be significantly impacted at these tariff levels.
“Hopes are high that this is yet another maximalist posturing by Trump, and like with the EU, Japan and Korea, the final tariffs will be nearer to 15 per cent,” Bagga added.
However, he also noted that India’s position is different from other countries due to its reluctance to open the agricultural and dairy sectors to US genetically modified exports.
Citing South Korea’s example, Bagga said that despite having a free trade agreement with the US since 2012, Korea was initially threatened with a 25 per cent tariff and finally settled for a 15 per cent tariff in return for 0 per cent tariff access for US goods.
He emphasised the need for urgent economic reforms, saying, “India will find it tough to get a lower tariff deal done. The urgent need is to massively deregulate, boost domestic consumption by GST cuts and stimulus, and to protect Indian exporters and their supply chains as they seek other markets or recalibrate to serve the domestic market.”
Bagga also warned about the possible rise in oil prices due to reduced availability of Russian oil in the global supply chain.
“The impact on India’s Balance of Trade and Current Account Deficit needs to be watched as potentially 18 per cent of India’s total goods exports are now covered by these tariffs. The sentiment weakening could translate into economic weakness, hence the urgent need for fiscal and monetary stimulus measures along with a 1991-style massive deregulation to unleash animal spirits in the Indian economy,” he said.
Among sectoral indices on the NSE, Nifty Oil and Gas witnessed the highest selling pressure, down 1.48 per cent, followed by Nifty Consumer Durables, which declined by 1.42 per cent. Nifty Auto and Nifty Pharma also dropped by more than 1 per cent, with all major sectors trading in the red at the time of reporting.
Vikram Kasat, Head – Advisory at PL Capital, said that the recent low of 24,598 on Nifty will act as a crucial support level. “Breaking below 24,598 can drag the Nifty index lower towards the 24,450-24,500 zone, which is a major support zone for the Nifty,” he said, adding that the IT sector could emerge as a possible indirect beneficiary of INR depreciation.
On the political front, Kasat remarked, “Politically, the relationship is in its toughest spot since the mid-1990s. Trust has diminished. President Trump’s messaging has damaged many years of careful, bipartisan nurturing of the US-India partnership in both capitals.”
Meanwhile, several major companies are scheduled to release their Q1 earnings results today, including Hindustan Unilever, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, Maruti Suzuki India, Adani Enterprises, Coal India, Vedanta, Ambuja Cements, Eicher Motors, TVS Motor Company, Cholamandalam Investment and Finance Company, Mankind Pharma, Swiggy, Dabur India, JSW Energy and PB Fintech.
Asian markets were trading mixed on Thursday. Japan’s Nikkei 225 surged 0.7 per cent, while Singapore’s Straits Times index declined 0.66 per cent. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index dropped 1.38 per cent, South Korea’s KOSPI index was down 0.39 per cent and Taiwan’s Weighted Index gained 0.34 per cent.
Published on July 31, 2025
William “Bill” Elwell, the humorous and occasionally ornery owner of a legendary burger shack in the San Fernando Valley, has died at 98, prompting an outpouring of admiration and memories from burger aficionados and restaurateurs who were inspired by him.
Elwell, who founded the Van Nuys burger stand Bill’s Burgers in 1965 and worked there continuously for 60 years, died on July 21. Over the course of decades he became as much of a draw as the burgers themselves.
Elwell seasoned and seared beef patties on his stand’s original griddle, which he believed dated back to the 1920s. Characterized as “gruff,” “cranky” and “grumpy,” he proudly ran the 10-by-20-foot stand with strict rules (cash only, no substitutions), and he could often be found ribbing his customers.
“Is McDonald’s closed today?” he’d regularly yell. “Why is everyone here? Go down the street!”
Another signature phrase sits at both the top and bottom of the menu: “You can’t have it your way, this is not Burger King.”
Allen Yelent, owner of local burger chain Goldburger and a Bill’s customer since childhood, said Elwell embodied the best entrepreneurial spirit of the Valley.
“Bill’s, for me, represents what I love about small business and what makes small business really beautiful in L.A.: the same person cooking the burgers literally every single day,” Yelent said. “Everyone can say they got a burger from Bill.”

Sandwiched among tire shops, lighting stores and factories, Elwell’s shack fed the Valley’s industrial workers just as readily as food lovers who’d make a visit to Bill’s a burger pilgrimage. Yelent, a San Fernando Valley native and resident, said Elwell epitomized the “absolute worker mentality, worker ethic of the Valley that I grew up in.”
William Clement Elwell was born in Ventura on Nov. 23, 1926. He served in World War II and worked in a variety of trades, including as a cab driver and at a linen company. He purchased the Van Nuys stand for $2,500 in 1965, before the block’s sidewalks were even paved and only a dirt path led to the building.
Elwell and Bill’s Burgers saw innumerable changes through the decades. At one point the stand was called Bill & Hiroko’s, named for Elwell and his then-partner, Hiroko Wilcox, whom he’d met while bowling. She worked the burger shack with him alongside one of his five ex-wives, Sharon Elwell. Bill Elwell told The Times in 2014 that one of his exes quipped: “We get along fine. It’s him we can’t stand.”
According to an obituary written by his family, which was published in the Ventura County Star, the burger icon is survived by his son, James Elwell, and his daughter, Charlene Morris, along with eight grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, three great-great grandchildren and multiple nieces and nephews.
On Tuesday morning, the first full day of business since the news of Elwell’s passing spread widely over social media, Henry McComas was the first customer in line. The filmmaker moved nearby six years ago and visits the restaurant at least once a week, he said, often on his walks through the neighborhood.

“The first time I met Bill, he was very busy over the grill, and such a professional and so focused that you didn’t know if you could talk to him,” McComas said. “He came up to me and started a conversation, telling me how great his burgers were, but he took a raw patty and some of the beef and ate it in front of me and said, ‘This is how good the meat is.’
“And I was hooked ever since.”
On Sunday, when McComas heard of Elwell’s death, he made a point of visiting Tuesday morning right as the restaurant opened, thanking the staff for their continuation of the business. He wants Bill’s Burgers to continue for years to come.
“Bill’s legacy means so much to the Valley,” McCormas said. “It really is a staple. My hope is if the family wants to continue the business that they do, because we’ll be here for their burgers.”
The legendary burger man occasionally threatened retirement or selling the business, as he told The Times he’d considered in 2020 during the pandemic. But Elwell said he hoped that even if he did, Bill’s Burgers would continue without him. One staff member told The Times that they would like to personally continue the restaurant in Elwell’s honor.
Yelent of Goldburger previously ran an Instagram account dedicated to posting burgers he’d enjoyed. The very first picture was of Bill’s. Dated Aug. 12, 2014, he captioned it, “Bill and Hiroko are inspirations.”
They remained an inspiration as Yelent grew his empire from a pop-up to multiple stands.

“They worked super hard,” he said of the duo. “They touched their product every single day. They were always completely and utterly devoted to what they were doing, and the city responded well. I want to have even a small fraction of the legacy that Bill’s created in L.A.”
Yelent, who grew up in Chatsworth, found himself at Bill’s Burgers multiple times during childhood, especially through the stretch of years his father operated a TV repair shop nearby. In adulthood, he rediscovered it and found Bill’s to be even more inspiring than his earliest memories of it.
More recently he’d found one of Elwell’s grandsons working at the burger stand, taking orders at the window while Elwell still manned the flat-top grill.
Heavy Handed owners Max Miller and Danny Gordon also grew up in the San Fernando Valley and frequented Bill’s Burgers. As they began their own burger business, they turned to some of the restaurants that shaped not only their own tastes but the region that raised them. Bill’s, they said, represented “frozen-in-time Valley spots” and “a taste of what the San Fernando Valley was” before they were born.
“He was really one of the last to do food in his own unapologetic way and stick to his guns when it comes to how he serves, how he runs his business and how he operates personally within the space,” said Miller.
Miller, who attended high school in Van Nuys, would often vie for one of the coveted counter seats overlooking the grill.

Both have tried to emulate Elwell’s “quiet showmanship,” most often seen through him slapping American cheese onto the patties, as if casually but accurately flinging a playing card from a deck of them.
“To me, it’s sort of the West Coast version of Di Fara Pizza in Brooklyn: the old man going at his own pace, not really giving you the time,” said Gordon. “He was just doing his thing, and you’re there for that experience. It’s a kind of restaurant that you don’t see many of anymore. It’s definitely a bummer to lose [Elwell]; he was a legend.”
Like Yelent, Colin Fahrner also ran a burger Instagram account before launching his own restaurant, but he never posted a photo of Bill’s — probably, he said, because his visit predated the social media account entirely.
It was, Fahrner said, the kind of old-school L.A. burger operation that inspired him to launch his restaurant, Yellow Paper Burger, though Bill’s perfectly griddled burgers come wrapped in white.
“There’s other places that do it, but I feel like he really stuck to it for the long haul,” he said of Elwell. “I think it’s also a reminder: All these legacy places are closing. Don’t wait to go to these spots, because they can close any day or the owner can pass away, or whatever might happen … Now is the time. These places are not going to be here forever.”

It’s true! Laughter is some of the best medicine. While you definitely want to experience this with your teen, this article is about you and your spouse. And oftentimes, laughter is the last thing we tend to share with one another. That and the idea that “this too shall pass”. Because it will, barring a critical issue evolving with your teenager, many of the tense moments are around smaller things that will be worked through.
Learning to laugh about them is one thing. First, we have to not take them so seriously as to redirect our angst against our spouse. That is really, really important! How do we do this? I have no idea. I just know it’s a good thing when it happens. How’s that for helpful? Keep it in the back of your mind. Try to allow your emotional reactions to dissipate in exchange for objective thinking. Don’t be afraid to cast a wink at your spouse in the height of things so you can remember to laugh later.
Raising teenagers? It’s not for the faint of heart. But it can be extremely rewarding, not just as parents, but as married couples. Join forces, brave souls! Ride into the fray with the intent not to forget the one at your side! Raise your banners high and prepare for battle! Draw your swords and—no. Fine. I’m being extreme.
The point is, we need our spouses. The last thing we want to do is damage our relationship with each other while trying to preserve our relationship with our teen. So communicate, spend time together, prioritize each other, share thoughts and emotions, and don’t criticize the other—even if they are overreacting.
And just imagine…one of these days, not long in the future, you’ll be rocking on your front porch, coffee in hand, talking about the “good ol’ days” when your phone rings, and your now adult child calls to ask you: “What do I do? My teenager is driving us nuts!”

The U.S. Mission to Nigeria has shared a stark warning about “birth tourism” to those who might be planning trips to America primarily for this reason.
“Using your visa to travel for the primary purpose of giving birth in the United States so that your child will have U.S. citizenship is not permitted,” the mission wrote on its X account this week. The notice was posted on Facebook as well.
“We will deny your visa if we believe your primary purpose of travel is to give birth in the United States to get U.S. citizenship for your child. This is not permitted,” the post states.

Google’s newest AI model is going to scour the Earth and, ideally, help it out. That’s the plan, anyway. The mission is to find out once and for all, in fine detail, what we are doing to our planet. Crucially, once the model has supposedly done this it will also, apparently, explain where we might be able to best put things in place to help our world.
AlphaEarth Foundations, an offshoot of Google’s DeepMind AI model, aims to leverage machine learning and all the gobs and gobs of data that Google has absorbed about our planet over the last two decades, in order to understand how specific areas are changing over time.
The model uses a system called “embeddings” that takes terabytes of data collected from satellites every day, analyzes it, and compresses it down to save storage space. The result is a model of different filters overlaid over maps that are color coded to indicate material properties, vegetation types, groundwater sources, and human constructions such as buildings and farms. Google says the system will act as a sort of “virtual satellite,” letting users call up on demand detailed information about any given spot on the planet.
The goal, Google says, is for users of the service to be able to better understand how specific ecosystems on the planet work, including how air quality, sunlight, groundwater, and even human construction projects vary and change across a landscape. Ultimately, the company wants the model to help answer questions from paying governments and corporations that wish to know, for example, which ecosystems may have more access to sunlight or groundwater that can help determine the best spots to grow a certain crop. Alternatively, it may aid in identifying areas to plop down solar panels with maximum payoff, or build structures in more climate resilient locations.
Google’s new model has already mapped a complex surface in Antarctica—an area notoriously difficult to capture due to irregular satellite imaging—in clear detail. It has also supposedly outlined variations in Canadian agricultural land use that are invisible to the naked eye.
STVARANJE zdravih navika zasigurno donosi brojne prednosti – poboljšava prehranu, fizičku kondiciju i organizaciju života. No postoji i druga strana postojanja rutine, i to ona ne toliko dobra. Kako objašnjavaju iz Eating Well, kada svakodnevne rutine postanu previše uhodane i ponavljajuće, mogu početi narušavati naše mentalne sposobnosti.
Rutina je korisna, ali do određene granice
Naravno, zdrave navike poput uravnotežene prehrane i redovitoga vježbanja ključne su za prevenciju bolesti. Međutim, kada se naše aktivnosti svedu na automatske, svakodnevne obrasce bez ikakvih promjena, naš mozak više ne dobiva dovoljno stimulacije.
Kako piše Eating Well, jedno veliko istraživanje pokazalo je da su osobe koje su svakodnevno uključivale raznovrsne aktivnosti, poput rada, volontiranja, fizičke aktivnosti, druženja i slobodnog vremena, imale bolje rezultate u testovima pamćenja i izvršnih funkcija. Drugim riječima, raznolikost u dnevnoj rutini izravno je povezana s jačim kognitivnim sposobnostima, dok ista rutina loše utječe na pamćenje.
Male promjene potiču moždanu aktivnost
Čak i sitne izmjene, poput uvođenja novih namirnica, mogu donijeti značajne koristi. Istraživanja pokazuju da raznovrsna prehrana aktivira stražnji dio cingulatnog korteksa, dio mozga zadužen za donošenje odluka i ponašanja, pišu iz Eating Well. Promjena jelovnika može tako potaknuti mentalnu fleksibilnost i pažnju, a s vremenom i dugoročno pamćenje.
Promjena rutine ne znači odustajanje od zdravih navika, već njihovo osvježavanje. Evo nekoliko prijedloga:
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
- Umjesto da tjednima pripremate iste obroke, isprobajte nove zdrave recepte.
- Ako vježbate, ubacite nove vrste aktivnosti. Primjerice ples, plivanje ili planinarenje.
- Uvedite učenje nečeg novog, poput stranog jezika, sviranja instrumenta ili sličnog. Čak i promjena okruženja kada radite može biti korisna.
- Provedite vikend na novom mjestu ili promijenite redoslijed jutarnje rutine.
Čak i najmanja promjena može stimulirati mozak i potaknuti osjećaj svježine.
Zašto je razbijanje rutine ključno za pamćenje?
Aktivira i jača mozak
Kada pokušavate nešto novo, vaš mozak mora dodatno raditi – učiti, analizirati i pamtiti. Taj proces, prema znanstvenim istraživanjima, potiče kognitivne sposobnosti i može zaštititi mozak od starenja i gubitka pamćenja.
Potpomaže neuroplastičnost
Redovita mentalna aktivacija potiče neuroplastičnost – sposobnost mozga da se preoblikuje i prilagodi. Što više izazova i novih iskustava pružite svom umu, to će on lakše stvarati nove neuronske veze koje pomažu pamćenju.
Utječe na raspoloženje
Ne radi se samo o pamćenju, promjene donose i veće zadovoljstvo. Istraživanje je pokazalo da su ljudi sretniji kad izađu iz ustaljenih obrazaca i dožive nešto novo, piše Eating Well. Nova okolina, nova iskustva i nova otkrića ne samo da poboljšavaju mentalno zdravlje, nego doprinose i općem osjećaju sreće.

PREDIVNA Zoe štićenica je Azila Dubrovnik u kojem joj pokušavaju pronaći najbolji dom i ljude nakon što su je pronašli u lošim uvjetima. Kako su iz Azila Dubrovnik napisali na svojoj Facebook stranici, Zoe je stigla iz područja Slanog gdje je pronađena “sama kako traži hranu u kontejneru po teškim ljetnim vrućinama”.
Iako je njezin početak bio onaj koji ni jedan pas ne zaslužuje, Zoe od prvog dana u azilu zrači toplinom i blagim duhom. Predivna ženka ima oko tri godine, nižeg je rasta te ima predivnu meku dlaku, dodaju iz azila. Karakterno je vrlo mirna i nježna te vrlo rado pokazuje ljubav i privrženost svima koji brinu o njoj.
Napominju da Zoe ima vrlo nizak titar lišmanioze, što nažalost često znači da će duže čekati na svoj dom. “Njezino zdravstveno stanje je jako stabilno i više puta su nam psi s lišmaniozom dokazali da mogu imati sretan i ispunjen život uz pravu osobu”, pišu iz azila.
O Zoe su još napisali da je mikročipirana, cijepljena, očišćena od unutarnjih i vanjskih parazita te sterilizirana. Ako ste zainteresirani upoznati Zoe i udomiti je, javite se Azilu Dubrovnik preko Facebook poruke ili na [email protected].
Što je lišmanioza kod pasa?
Lišmanioza je ozbiljna zarazna bolest pasa koju uzrokuje sićušni parazit. Taj parazit u tijelo psa dospije nakon uboda sitnog komarčića, koji se zove papatač. Papatači su slični običnim komarcima, ali su manji i ne zuje. Ova bolest se najčešće javlja u toplijim krajevima, poput Dalmacije, južne Italije, Španjolske i Grčke, no zbog toplijih ljeta može se pojaviti i drugdje u Hrvatskoj.
Kako pas može oboljeti?
Pas se zarazi kada ga ubode papatač koji nosi parazita. Nakon uboda, bolest se može razvijati polako i ne mora odmah pokazivati simptome – u nekim slučajevima prođe i nekoliko mjeseci ili godina prije nego se pojave prvi znakovi bolesti.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Simptomi lišmanioze mogu biti vrlo različiti, ali najčešće uključuju gubitak tjelesne težine i slab apetit, umor i bezvoljnost, promjene na koži (rane, perutanje, gubitak dlake, osobito oko očiju, ušiju i nosa), povećane limfne čvorove, krvarenje iz nosa, probleme s bubrezima, koji u težim slučajevima mogu biti opasni po život.
Može li se lišmanioza liječiti?
Da, liječenje postoji, ali bolest se ne može potpuno izliječiti jer parazit ostaje u tijelu psa. Cilj liječenja je smanjiti simptome, zaustaviti napredovanje bolesti i omogućiti psu dobar i kvalitetan život. Kod nekih pasa potrebno je doživotno praćenje i terapija, ali mnogi uz pravilnu skrb žive normalno dugi niz godina.
Prevencija je vrlo važna i uključuje korištenje ogrlica, ampula i sprejeva protiv papatača, kao i izbjegavanje šetnji u rano jutro i predvečer, kad su papatači najaktivniji, savjetuju stručnjaci.
Važno je znati da psi koji pate od ove bolesti, poput drage Zoe, mogu živjesti s drugim ljubimcima jer se ne prenosi s psa na psa (ili s psa na mačku) dodirom, lizanjem, kihanjem, zajedničkim posudama za hranu ili čak ugrizom. Jedini način prijenosa bolesti je putem uboda zaraženog papatača.

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.
DRUGI kvartal 2025. godine u svijetu mode obilježili su ekonomska neizvjesnost i globalne napetosti, što je utjecalo na potrošačke navike. Kupci su se okrenuli manjim, ali upečatljivim komadima koji nude emocionalno zadovoljstvo bez velikog financijskog tereta.
Prema najnovijem Lyst Indexu, kvartalne ljestvice najpopularnijih modnih brendova i proizvoda, upravo su modni dodaci i obuća postali ključni izraz osobnog stila.
Miu Miu na vrhu
Miu Miu se vratio na poziciju najpopularnijeg brenda, a njihove mokasinke od brušene kože s utisnutim logotipom postale su četvrti najtraženiji proizvod kvartala. Ovaj komad uspješno spaja nostalgiju sa suvremenim stilom, što je privuklo kupce diljem svijeta.
Sličan uspjeh postigla je i ogrlica s privjeskom u obliku školjke Juju Vere, koja je zauzela sedmo mjesto na popisu najpopularnijih proizvoda, potvrđujući veliku popularnost nakita inspiriranog obalom.
Moć obuće i povratak klasika
Brend The Row postigao je svoj najviši rang dosad, ponajviše zahvaljujući japankama Dune, koje su proglašene najpopularnijim proizvodom kvartala. Potražnja za ovim sandalama od 780 eura porasla je za čak 162%, a interes je eksplodirao nakon što ih je u lipnju nosio glumac Jonathan Bailey.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Prada sa svojim futurističkim pragmatizmom i Saint Laurent s oštrim glamurom i dalje zadržavaju snažnu poziciju među vodećim brendovima. Burberry se, nakon godinu dana, vratio na ljestvicu najpopularnijih, vješto iskoristivši oživljavanje tzv. cool Britannia trenda i snažnu festivalsku kampanju.
Još jedan favorit s festivala, kratke hlače adidas Adicolor Sprinter, treći je najpopularniji proizvod. Potražnja za ovim retro modelom iz kasnih 1970-ih porasla je za 121%, dijelom zahvaljujući slavnim osobama poput Harryja Stylesa i Belle Hadid.
Brendovi koji osvajaju scenu
Potražnja za brendom Chloé porasla je za 33% jer se njihov ležerni, boemski stil nastavlja širiti među kupcima. COS, jedini brend s komercijalno pristupačnijim cijenama u top 10, profitirao je od hvaljene modne revije, dokazavši da profinjeni osnovni komadi privlače široku publiku.
Među brendovima koji bilježe strelovit rast izvan Top 20 ističe se Pucci, s porastom potražnje od čak 96% u odnosu na prethodni kvartal. Glamurozni talijanski brendovi kupaćih kostima, koje nose Hailey Bieber i Dua Lipa, postaju globalni trend.

Kao minimalistička protuteža ističe se amsterdamski Rohe, dok sunčane naočale Jacques Marie Mage postaju sve popularnije zbog priče i umijeća izrade iza njih.
Ipak, najveći iskorak u drugom kvartalu došao je u području obuće. Čak šest od deset najpopularnijih proizvoda su cipele, a među njima se ističu neobične Vibram FiveFinger cipele te tenisice s platformom Isabel Marant Bekett, koje su doživjele preporod zahvaljujući Y2K estetici na TikToku.

If you read the typical 2025 mass layoff notice from a tech industry CEO, you might think that artificial intelligence cost workers their jobs.
The reality is more complicated, with companies trying to signal to Wall Street that they’re making themselves more efficient as they prepare for broader changes wrought by AI.
A new report Wednesday from career website Indeed says tech job postings in July were down 36% from their early 2020 levels, with AI one but not the most obvious factor in stalling a rebound.
ChatGPT’s debut in late 2022 also corresponded with the end of a pandemic-era hiring binge, making it hard to isolate AI’s role in the hiring doldrums that followed.
“We’re kind of in this period where the tech job market is weak, but other areas of the job market have also cooled at a similar pace,” said Brendon Bernard, an economist at the Indeed Hiring Lab. “Tech job postings have actually evolved pretty similarly to the rest of the economy, including relative to job postings where there really isn’t that much exposure to AI.”
That nuance is not always clear from the last six months of tech layoff emails, which often include a nod to AI in addition to expressions of sympathy.
When he announced mass layoffs earlier this year, Workday CEO Carl Eschenbach invited employees to consider the bigger picture: “Companies everywhere are reimagining how work gets done, and the increasing demand for AI has the potential to drive a new era of growth for Workday.”
Autodesk CEO Andrew Anagnost explained that a need to shift resources to “accelerate investments” in AI was one of the reasons the company had to cut 1,350, or about 9%, of workers.
The “Why We’re Doing This” section of CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz’s announcement of 5% job cuts said the cybersecurity company needed to double down on AI investments to “accelerate execution and efficiency.”
“AI flattens our hiring curve, and helps us innovate from idea to product faster,” Kurtz wrote.
It’s not just U.S. companies. In India, tech giant Tata Consultancy Services recently characterized its 12,000 layoffs, or 2% of its workforce, as part of a shift to a “Future-Ready organization” that would be realigning its workforce and “deploying AI at scale for our clients and ourselves.”
Even the Japanese parent company of Indeed and Glassdoor has cited an AI shift in its notice of 1,300 layoffs at the job search and workplace review sites.
Microsoft, which is scheduled to release its fourth-quarter earnings Wednesday, has announced layoffs of about 15,000 workers this year even as its profits have soared.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told employees last week the layoffs were “weighing heavily” on him but also positioned them as an opportunity to reimagine the company’s mission for an AI era.
Promises of a leaner approach have been welcomed on Wall Street, especially from tech giants that are trying to justify huge amounts of capital spending to pay for the data centers, chips and other components required to power AI technology.
“It’s this sort of double-edged sword restructuring that I think a lot of tech giants are encountering in this age of AI, where they have to find the right balance between maintaining an appropriate headcount, but also allowing artificial intelligence to come to the forefront,” said Bryan Hayes, a strategist at Zacks Investment Research.
Google said last week it would raise its budget for capital expenditures by an additional $10 billion to $85 billion. Microsoft is expected to outline similar guidance soon.
One thing is clear to Hayes: Microsoft’s job cuts improve its profit margin outlook for the 2026 fiscal year that started in July.
But what these broader tech industry layoffs mean for the employment prospects of tech workers can be harder to gauge.
“Will AI replace some of these jobs? Absolutely,” said Hayes. “But it’s also going to create a lot of jobs. Employees that are able to leverage artificial intelligence and help the companies innovate, and create new products and services, are going to be the ones that are in high demand.”
He pointed to Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, which is on a spree of offering lucrative packages to recruit elite AI scientists from competitors such as OpenAI.
The reports published by Indeed on Wednesday show that AI specialists are faring better than standard software engineers, but even those jobs are not where they have been.
“Machine-learning engineers — which is kind of the canonical AI job — those job postings are still noticeably above where they were pre-pandemic, though they’ve actually come down compared to their 2022 peak,” said Bernard, the Indeed economist. “They’ve also been impacted by the cyclical ups and downs of the sector.”
Tech hiring has particularly plunged in AI hubs such as the San Francisco Bay Area, as well as Boston and Seattle, according to Indeed.
But in looking more closely at which tech workers were least likely to get hired, Indeed found the deepest impact on entry-level jobs in the tech industry, with those with at least five years of experience faring better.
The hiring declines were sharpest in entry-level tech industry jobs that involve marketing, administrative assistance and human resources, which all involve tasks that overlap with the strength of the latest generative AI tools that can help create documents and images.
“The plunge in tech hiring started before the new AI age, but the shifting experience requirements is something that happened a bit more recently,” Bernard said.
Emcy Joseph made a significant mark with his directorial debut, Vikruthi (2019), a well-crafted drama that earned Suraj Venjaramoodu a State award for his performance. Though Emcy showed much promise as a filmmaker, it has taken another six years for him to return with his second film, Meesha. The gap, though frustrating, was not planned, says the director. “I had announced a film titled Ennittu Avasanam in 2020 with Arjun Ashokan, Anna Ben, and Madhubala, but we had to postpone it due to the second wave of the pandemic. A lockdown was announced just days before we were planning to commence shooting. I lost nearly 2.5 years with that,” reflects the filmmaker, before quickly adding that not all hope is lost regarding the project. “I’ll definitely try to revive it, but I’m not sure if I can bring back the same cast. It’s a female-oriented action film with a shade of dark humour. It’s a unique idea, but right now, the focus is on Meesha. It took me another 2.5 years to develop it from scratch.”

Target: ₹400
CMP: ₹338.90
NTPC’s PAT stood at ₹6,108 crore, up 11 per cent y-o-y but down 23 per cent q-o-q, beating our and consensus estimates by 13 per cent. PAT adjusted for regulatory deferral movement stood at ₹4,101 crore. However, the consolidated revenue and EBITDA missed our and consensus estimates, led by lower power generation.
The company has a capex plan of about ₹₹2.65 lakh crore at the group level over FY26-28 (₹87,661 crore at the standalone level). This will drive the growth in the regulated equity. Due to its strong vendor network and management, it expects lower execution risk in setting up thermal projects. The captive coal production target for FY26 is 45 MT, and it aims to produce 56 MT in FY27 and 60 MT by FY28.
We value NTPC using SoTP with the thermal business at 2.1x P/BV on FY27 consolidated regulated equity, RE business at CMP (NGEL) after accounting for the 90 per cent stake and considering a 25 per cent Holdco discount, PSP optionality at ₹23/share, CWIP and cash at 1x P/BV of FY25. We maintain Buy rating with unchanged target price of ₹400.
Key risks to our estimates and target price: Delays in commissioning of the thermal and RE capacity; financial position of Discom. NTPC’s trade receivables are dependent on the timely payment from state Discoms; and lower Thermal Power Plant PLF and PAF.

If there is one thing in the kitchen that Indians are very particular about, it’s the spices they use. And the choice of spice brand is most often dictated by regional preferences, with each State having its entrenched local leader.
There are only a handful of national brands, and it has taken decades for an Everest or MDH or Catch to become one. The nearly ₹87,000 crore spices market has over 1,460 registered companies (Traxcn data) and thousands of unorganised players.

Most consumers are fiercely loyal to the spice brand they use. The category has seen 54 acquisitions, 17 IPOs, and attracted venture capital and private equity funding of over $6.4 billion.
And yet, here comes a young D2C player from the steel belt of Raipur, set up by two brothers, Akash and Ashish Agrawalla, with a burning ambition of becoming a big national spice brand. “In five years’ time, our goal is that at least one of our products should be in every Indian kitchen,” declares Akash, co-founder, ZOFF. The name ZOFF is an acronym for Zone of Fresh Foods.
Already the brothers have discovered the sweet spot in the spice segment. That is in ‘khada masala’ or whole spices. Most brands, they say, play in the powders and blended spices space, where the margins are higher.
“We saw the big gap in the market in whole spices. We don’t want to compete with Everest or MDH in their niche, instead we want to be identified as the best brand for whole spices,” Akash says.
To strengthen that positioning, ZOFF has launched a series of rib-tickling campaigns, starring Shilpa Shetty, that end with the tag line “Khadey masala matlab ZOFF”.
Aroma of opportunity
Ashish says that once ZOFF gets its foot in the door of an Indian home through whole spices, the bet is the customer will try out their other products too. And with that eventuality in mind, ZOFF has spread itself wide through the category. Spices are of four types — powders (turmeric, coriander, cumin, chilli being the most essential), blended (garam masala, pav bhaji masala, sabzi masala, et al), whole spices and seasoning (oregano, parsley, among others), explains Akash. “We are in all four.”
Within blends, the brothers say, there is no limit, and this is where regional brands score — you might choose a northern brand for rajma masala, a southern one for sambar masala, and region-specific ones like vangi bhaat masala, rasam powder, and so on.
A tour of ZOFF’s sprawling factory shows the use of modern technology such as cool grinding processes to retain more oils in the spices, fascinating product extensions, and packaging innovation. For instance, there is ‘haldamrit’, a turmeric powder with spices to be mixed with warm milk — a traditional remedy for cold and cough.
Disruptive ziplock pouches have been introduced, so there is no need to transfer the spices to bottles. But most interesting of all are the tiny sachets for some products. The brothers have also ventured into the dry fruits, nuts, seeds, marinades and ready-to-cook mix segments.
Set up in 2018, and gathering pace around 2021, ZOFF is already touching a revenue of ₹200 crore and eyeing a turnover of ₹300 crore by next year — the robust 100 per cent growth coming through more products, big distribution ramp-up and marketing.
Calculated entry
The Agrawalla brothers’ entry into the spices segment was well-calculated. Hailing from a well-off family that was in a steel-related business and agri trading, the brothers did their MBA in Australia and were clear they wanted to do something else. According to Ashish, what tempted them into spices was the margins, the gap they spotted, and the fact that there were very few big national brands.
Born online — Flipkart Grocery was their first distribution channel — today over 80 per cent of ZOFF’s turnover is from digital platforms. “While we got huge learnings from Flipkart Grocery, it was CRED store that helped us achieve entry into 5 lakh homes,” says Ashish. The brand is present on all six quick commerce platforms. But now, it is ramping up its offline play. Partnerships with D-Mart and Reliance Smart Bazaar have been sewn.
Why operate from Raipur, which has no connection with spices? The brothers insist that Raipur actually works wonderfully to their advantage. The cost of setting up the office and factory (with a lot of space and capacity to expand) was much lower. Moreover, being in central India, in a well-connected industrial town, the transportation — both for sourcing and despatch — was much cheaper and more efficient. Their dad, incidentally, does all the sourcing of spices, having experience in agri trading.
The brothers, who came into the limelight after a Shark Tank appearance that won them some funding from boAt’s Aman Gupta, are very marketing savvy. So far the major spends have been on performance marketing, with the brand-building journey beginning only now. It has got Series A funding from JM Financials and is using that to scale up.
Since spice was a completely new business for them, did they have any mentors? “Time has been the biggest mentor,” responds Akash, describing how the Covid years were spent in learning and strategising.

The chief executive of CoStar Group, which owns Apartments.com, said Zillow has ‘stolen’ thousands of images to bolster its business.
One thing we all have in common is that our lives never go as planned. Maybe you are a planner, like me. I used to pride myself on making plans, juggling a million things, and accomplishing a lot. I was a do-more kind of woman. If my plans didn’t go as I wanted, I would stress, stay awake at night, and work harder to ensure life turned out okay.
The problem with planning and preparing is that life happens. So much of what happens to us is out of our control. Over and over, God has had to show me that my perfect plan for my life wouldn’t always happen. I admit I wasn’t happy the first few times God interrupted my plans.
Not having my own plans work out felt like a form of suffering. After much time, I began to grow in my relationship with God. The more I read my Bible and prayed, the more I saw that God was actually behind everything. His heart is always good and loving towards me.
At 23 years old, I delivered my first baby. I had an unexpected C-section with complications from the medication. Nursing was hard, and he was a very fussy baby. As a new mom, I struggled to understand why motherhood was so hard. There were a lot of tears, not just from the baby. Postpartum depression also showed up during this time, and I wasn’t prepared for any of it. I learned about God’s faithfulness, care, and love through that time.
Out of desperation, I started reading my Bible more and studying scripture. Although none of my motherhood plans worked out, I grew in my dependency on God, which has led me to a place of peace today.
Over the last twenty years, God has shown up in my life through every twist and turn. If I were to go back to that 23-year-old self, I would tell her a few things about God. The main thing I would say to her would be this:
God’s plans for our lives are always good; we can trust Him.
Although God felt very much absent during that time, and honestly, God has felt absent at other times as well, He isn’t absent. Just because I couldn’t see how everything would work out didn’t mean that God had forgotten about me, didn’t care for me, or abandoned me. The most comfort I’ve received through those times comes from studying the Bible.
The Bible has countless stories of God working in and through normal people. Story after story tells how God used imperfect people to accomplish His plan. Often, these people didn’t see the big picture. Rarely did they experience the fruit of their faith or get answers to their questions.
But their stories in the Bible encourage us to know that God is still writing our own stories and that we are part of a bigger plan that extends beyond us. Let’s look at seven stories to see how God was always working behind the scenes for them. This can also give us hope that God is working in our lives.
1. Abraham & Sarah: God is working behind the scenes through waiting.
Waiting can feel like God has left us. It is hard to keep praying when prayers go unanswered, lives are on hold, and pain lingers. In the story of Abraham and Sarah, we see a couple struggle through decades of infertility. Their waiting was marked by faith (Hebrews 11:8-12), but I’m sure waiting wasn’t easy. While God seemed absent in their waiting, God was working. At the right time and in the right way, their son Isaac was born. God never left them, and as you read their story in Genesis 12-16, you can see how God stays with us in our waiting.
2. Moses: God is working behind the scenes through rejection.
God’s plan for Moses’ life took a lot of time. If you know Moses’ story, you know he was ready to lead the people out of slavery to the Promised Land at the age of 40. Instead, Moses faced rejection and ended up living the next forty years in the wilderness. In those years, God was not only with him but also preparing him. The forty years Moses spent tending sheep were so that God could prepare him to be the shepherd of Israel. In Exodus 1-5, Moses’ story shows us how God always works to redeem, even if we face rejection.
3. Joseph: God is working behind the scenes through silence.
No other character in the Old Testament had more twists and turns than Joseph. Sold into slavery as a teenager, sent to prison on false charges, forgotten and rejected for two years, Joseph probably thought God had forgotten him. Joseph finally rose to power and ended up saving his entire family from starvation. If Joseph only looked at his circumstances, he would have agreed that God seemed to have left him.
In Genesis 39:2, we read these words: “The Lord was with Joseph…” God was still with Joseph during all of his trials. At the end of his life, Joseph recognized God’s hand and said: “As for you, [meaning his brothers who sold him into slavery] you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.” (ESV) Genesis 50:20. God is working, even if we don’t feel or hear Him. God works it all for His glory and our good.
4. Job: God is working behind the scenes through suffering.
Although Joseph surely suffered, no one can argue that Job suffered more. Job suffered the loss of his children, wealth, and health. In all of this, Job did not deny God or curse Him. Job did question God and lamented the sorrow-filled life God had allowed. But in the end, Job provides us a great example of persevering through suffering. We can bring our questions, doubts, and sorrows to God. As we do so, we can trust, like Job, that God is still in control and loves us. We do not suffer alone. We might never get the answers to “why” suffering happens, but we can seek out the “Who.” Who God is and His majesty and love help give our hearts peace when we know God is never off His throne.
5. Ruth: God is working behind the scenes through the ordinary.
The Book of Ruth tells the story of two women. Ruth’s life was filled with sorrow and ordinary living. Ruth was simply going to the field to help provide food for herself and her mother-in-law when God orchestrated salvation for both of them. The two women were widows, but Ruth did not complain or abandon Naomi. Instead, Ruth was faithful in doing ordinary things. As Ruth did what she was supposed to do, God wove her path to a new family. God restored not only Ruth’s family but Naomi’s family as well. God can use our ordinary service for His glory, and we might not ever see how He worked everything out!
6. Esther: God is working behind the scenes through providence.
Throughout the entire book of Esther, God’s name is never mentioned. Instead, we read a story of “happen-chance” or “coincidences” that leave us feeling like there is no way these things “just happened.” God’s fingerprints are all over Esther’s story. The drama unfolds and we see God’s invisible hand saving His people and using an ordinary girl and her uncle to do so. Esther’s story is a great encouragement to us. Even if no one acknowledges God’s working behind the scenes, He is! Reading the Book of Easter can give us encouragement to trust that God’s plan will go forth.
7. Daniel: God is working behind the scenes through prayer.
Daniel experienced a powerful answer to his prayer in Daniel 10:12. An angel came to Daniel after he had prayed. Here is what Daniel 10:12 says: “Then he [the angel] said to me, “Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand and humbled yourself before your God, your words have been heard, and I have come because of your words.” God was working through Daniel’s prayers! What great comfort to know that God uses our prayers to work out His plan. This should remind us that our prayers are never wasted.
As we walk through this life, there will be moments when life is not turning out like we expected. Disappointment might be just around the corner. Even in this, God is working! God’s redemption, plan, and purpose always prevail. You can read about how this plays out specifically in Moses’s life by reading my book, I Didn’t Sign Up for This. Discover God’s goodness in your own story today.

A long-lost warship connected to the American Revolution has resurfaced off a Scottish island, courtesy of a well-timed storm — and it tells “a fascinating story,” those involved said.
The wreckage was first spotted by a schoolboy in Feb. 2024. He noticed the ruins after a storm swept away sand on a beach in Sanday, one of Scotland’s remote Orkney Islands.
After over a year of research by historians and local residents, Wessex Archaeology recently identified it as the Earl of Chatham, an 18th-century warship. The group shared the news in a Facebook post and on its website.
CAPTAIN COOK’S LEGENDARY SHIP FINALLY IDENTIFIED NEAR NEW ENGLAND RESORT AFTER 250 YEARS
Pictures show the wooden ribs of the ship poking out of the dunes, still miraculously well-preserved 230 years later.
The ship was built in Chichester, England, in 1749. It traveled widely across the Atlantic, from Canada to Greenland.

The vessel was used as a convoy escort by the British during the American Revolution before it was sold off to whale hunters in 1784, the reports noted. Whale oil, an essential source of fuel during the Industrial Revolution, was coveted at the time.
In 1788, the ship met its end during a period of bad weather near Sanday – but all 56 crew members survived.
“Quite a few people are really getting interested in it and becoming experts.”
Ben Saunders, senior marine archaeologist at Wessex Archaeology, told The Associated Press (AP) the identification required a process of elimination.
DEADLY SHIPWRECK UNCOVERED BY FORMER MILITARY PILOT WHO SPOTTED ONE HISTORIC CLUE
“You remove ones that are Northern European as opposed to British, you remove wrecks that are too small or operating out of the north of England and you really are down to two or three … and Earl of Chatham is the last one left,” he said.

The Sanday community, made up of 500 people, was thrilled about the discovery.
The island has been the site of around 270 shipwrecks since the 1400s.

Local farmers quickly got involved in the archaeological efforts.
They used their tractors and trailers to haul roughly 12 tons of oak timbers off the beach.
“I would regard it as a lucky ship, which is a strange thing to say about a ship that’s wrecked.”
Sylvia Thorne, one of the island’s community researchers, called the endeavor “really good fun.”
“It was such a good feeling about the community – everybody pulling together to get it back,” she said.

With the community effort, Saunders said he regarded the ship as “lucky,” along with the fact that no crew members died.

“I would regard it as a lucky ship, which is a strange thing to say about a ship that’s wrecked,” Saunders said.
“I think if it had been found in many other places, it wouldn’t necessarily have had that community drive, that desire to recover and study that material, and also the community spirit to do it.”

I procrastinated flying anywhere with my son until he was almost 3. There were so many things needed—a car seat! Stroller! In-flight entertainment! His own luggage! A crib when we landed!—that it felt like too much to coordinate. And who can blame me? It’s just parenting in a new location, after all, rather than a vacation.
Still, a trip we wanted to take finally presented itself. We booked a long weekend in San Francisco and the nearby wine country to see family and friends we haven’t seen since I was pregnant, and to relive a family tradition (though sans my grandmother, since she passed in 2020) for the first time since before the pandemic. Just in time, the perfect gadget presented itself to make the trip feel a little more manageable: the TernX Carry-On Luggage Stroller.
The TernX is both a small carry-on suitcase and a travel stroller built into a single device. One less thing to carry as a parent is always a godsend, and being able to tote my son and his clothes with one device felt heaven-sent. The TernX was founded by two parents who brought the company to Shark Tank, so it’s no surprise it has a parent-minded design, though the compact size makes it best for younger (or shorter) kiddos. It was no problem to wheel this around the airport and San Francisco streets as a stroller, and as a suitcase onto a plane (which not all travel strollers can do!).

As a travel stroller, the TernX is pretty solid. It’s easy to unfold, has a five-point harness, and sports a storage basket underneath that fits a small bag (I stuffed my kid’s backpack underneath it while we walked through the airport). The TernX is always 14 inches wide, while reaching 38 inches tall and 35 inches long in stroller mode, compared to 22 inches tall and just 9 inches long in luggage mode. This stroller can also hold kids up to 48.5 pounds—almost as much as a regular stroller. When it’s empty, it weighs 17 pounds, only adding 3 pounds compared to my favored Nuna TRVL stroller.
It’s really best for small children since the seat is under 12 inches wide. It was a fine size for my tall, almost-3-year-old to sit in, but bigger kids won’t fit into this. I also didn’t realize on my trip that I could extend the height of the back of the seat. He’s nearly 40 inches tall with a particularly tall torso, and his head and shoulders tower above the TernX’s lowest setting. Mom-fail for not spotting I could raise that for him (but if that’s the worst I did on my trip, I’ll take it!).
Still, being tall didn’t seem to leave my toddler uncomfortable. He happily sat in the stroller both in the airport and while we walked around Sonoma and San Francisco. The wheels are small and can’t handle rough terrain, so I recommend sticking to the smooth airport floors and well-paved sidewalks.
BILJNI čajevi sve su popularniji, ne samo kao ugodan napitak već i zbog brojnih tvrdnji o njihovim zdravstvenim prednostima. Mnogi od njih navodno pomažu kod probave, upala i razine šećera u krvi. No jesu li svi biljni čajevi sigurni, posebno za osobe koje boluju od kroničnih bolesti poput dijabetesa?
Ako imate dijabetes, važno je obratiti pozornost na sve što unosite u organizam, uključujući i čajeve. Nutricionistica Erin Palinski-Wade upozorava da biljni čajevi mogu utjecati na razinu šećera u krvi i nepovoljno djelovati s lijekovima koje uzimate. Zato se, prije nego što ih uključite u svakodnevnu prehranu, svakako posavjetujte s liječnikom ili ljekarnikom.
Portal Eating Well donosi koja tri biljna čaja osobe s dijabetesom trebaju konzumirati s oprezom ili ih potpuno izbjegavati ako uzimaju terapiju za regulaciju razine šećera u krvi.
1. Čaj od aloe vere
Aloe vera najpoznatija je kao gel za kožu, ali se koristi i u obliku čaja. Istraživanja su pokazala da može znatno smanjiti razinu šećera u krvi. To zvuči korisno, no za osobe koje već uzimaju lijekove za snižavanje glukoze može biti opasno.
Pretjerani pad razine šećera u krvi može dovesti do hipoglikemije. Iako većina istraživanja dolazi iz studija na životinjama, neke analize potvrđuju učinak aloe vere na snižavanje razine šećera u krvi, krvnog tlaka i kolesterola. Upravo zbog tih snažnih učinaka preporučuje se oprez.
2. Čaj od kamilice
Kamilica se često koristi za smirenje i poboljšanje sna, ali kod dijabetičara koji uzimaju lijekove za razrjeđivanje krvi, poput varfarina, može izazvati ozbiljne nuspojave. U nekim slučajevima kamilica povećava rizik od krvarenja.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Važno je znati da kamilica nije opasna za sve dijabetičare, već samo za one na određenoj terapiji. Ako redovito pijete kamilicu, a uzimate lijekove, obavezno to spomenite svojem liječniku.
3. Čaj od piskavice
Piskavica se tradicionalno koristi za regulaciju razine šećera u krvi, a znanstvene studije potvrđuju njezinu učinkovitost. Može pomoći u snižavanju glukoze, kolesterola i triglicerida. Ipak, za neke ljude može biti problematična.
Nutricionistica Lorena Drago upozorava da piskavica može previše sniziti razinu šećera u krvi, osobito ako se uzima zajedno s lijekovima. Također može utjecati na lijekove za razrjeđivanje krvi. Zato je nužno razgovarati s liječnikom prije nego što piskavicu uključite u prehranu.
Čajevi nisu bezazleni, obratite pažnju na sastav
Biljni čajevi često se smatraju “prirodnima” i zato sigurnima, no važno je znati da nisu pod jednakim nadzorom kao lijekovi. Njihova kvaliteta i sastav mogu znatno varirati. Zato stručnjaci savjetuju da se, umjesto oslanjanja na čajeve, usmjerite na ono što se pokazalo učinkovitim u kontroli dijabetesa: uravnoteženu prehranu i redovitu tjelesnu aktivnost.
Povećajte unos povrća, jedite više vlakana, kombinirajte voće s proteinima i zdravim mastima i pazite na unos ugljikohidrata. To su najbolje svakodnevne navike koje sigurno pomažu u kontroli razine šećera u krvi.

MAJČINSKI instinkt jedna je od najsnažnijih sila u prirodi, a to je nedavno potvrdila jedna odlučna slonica. U kratkom videu koji je podijelila organizacija Wildlife Rescuers, hrabra majka istjeruje krokodila iz blatne rupe kako bi svoje mladunče mogla sigurno okupati.
Snimka prikazuje majku i mladunče kako se opuštaju u blatu. No kada primijeti krokodila, slonica bez oklijevanja reagira. Počinje ga tjerati snažnim pokretima nogu, dok u isto vrijeme surlom nježno obavija mladunče, čuvajući ga od opasnosti.
Video se brzo proširio društvenim mrežama i izazvao brojne pozitivne reakcije. “Nikada ne izazivaj majku koja brani svoje mladunče”, napisao je jedan korisnik. Drugi su dodali komentare poput: “Bravo, mama!” Većina je primijetila da je krokodil vrlo brzo shvatio da mu je najbolje pobjeći.

Jesu li slonice dobre majke?
U životinjskom svijetu postoje vrste koje ne pokazuju snažan roditeljski instinkt, poput nekih vrsta pande, hrčaka ili bogomoljki koje znaju napustiti ili čak napasti vlastito potomstvo. Slonice su, s druge strane, poznate kao iznimno brižne i posvećene majke.
Prema podacima organizacije Conservation International, trudnoća u slonica traje čak 22 mjeseca, što je najduže među sisavcima. Nakon rođenja, njihova briga ne prestaje, mladunčad uče kako pronaći najbolju hranu, kako se ponašati u krdu i kako izbjeći opasnosti.
Mladunci odrastaju uz majku i do 16 godina, a do šeste godine još uvijek doje. Kroz sve to vrijeme, majka ih uči kako preživjeti u prirodi, pronaći vodu, razlikovati biljke i izbjegavati predatore. Zajedno s ostalim članicama krda, majka gradi snažnu zajednicu u kojoj svaki član ima važnu ulogu.

TENISICE su komad koji je uvijek u trendu – i to s dobrim razlogom. Pristaju uz sve: elegantne haljine, lepršave suknje, poslovne hlače ili klasične traperice. Lako se uklapaju u svaki stil i svako godišnje doba.
Zato ne čudi što mnoge zanima što se događa u svijetu tenisica, a trendovi za ovu godinu daleko su od običnih. Retro siluete, hibridni modeli i neočekivane boje pomaknule su klasične bijele tenisice u drugi plan.
Kada je riječ o it djevojkama, čini se da svaka ima svoj omiljeni brend (a nerijetko s njim i surađuje). Prema pisanju Marie Claire, Dakota Johnson ostaje vjerna Nikeu, Rihanna obožava Pumu, a Sofia Richie Grainge nedavno je potvrdila svoju odanost Reeboku.
Jedan model toliko joj se svidio da ga je sada nabavila i u novoj, upečatljivoj boji – onoj za koju se već prognozira da će obilježiti jesen 2025. Prema pisanju portala Who What Wear, upravo se ta nijansa zelene pojavila na revijama Saint Laurenta, Louisa Vuittona i Hermèsa, ali i u brojnim modnim objavama na Instagramu.
Potpuno crna kombinacija i zelene tenisice
Sofia je odabrala Reebok tenisice u živopisnoj nijansi kako bi razbila svoj crni outfit. Model inspiriran 70-ima kombinira brušenu kožu i mrežastu tkaninu u neočekivanom spoju kelly zelene i jarko ružičaste. Iako je cijela kombinacija bila jednostavna, upravo su tenisice unijele dozu živosti.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Ostatak outfita bio je u potpunosti crn – široke crne hlače i top s U-izrezom. Sve je zaokružila već spomenutim Reebok Classic Legacy AZ modelom.
Dodir luksuza
Za šetnju Los Angelesom izdanje je upotpunila luksuznim detaljem – Alaïa Le Teckel torbicom vrijednom 1900 eura. Kako ističe Marie Claire, ovaj model torbe posljednjih je mjeseci stekao kultni status, a obožavaju ga i Rihanna i Margot Robbie. Grainge je svoju torbicu prvi put pokazala u lipnju, noseći je uz haljinu Lela Rose.
Zanimljivo je da Sofia Richie Grainge nosi Reebok tenisice tek nekoliko mjeseci, no već su postale neizostavan dio njezina stila. Prije ovog zeleno-ružičastog para, proslavila je i rasprodala isti model u kombinaciji boje lavande i bijele. S obzirom na njezin utjecaj, samo je pitanje vremena kada će i ove tenisice postati teško dostupne.

Why are IPS monitors often preferred over VA or TN panels in top rated monitors?
IPS panels tend to offer better colour accuracy and wider viewing angles, which makes them the go-to choice for content creators, designers, and even everyday users who care about picture clarity. TN panels are faster but often look washed out, while VA panels offer deeper blacks but can blur during fast motion. So, when clarity matters more than speed, IPS becomes the smarter choice.
Do I really need a 100Hz or 120Hz refresh rate for office work or editing?
You don’t need high refresh rates for spreadsheets or documents, but once you try a 100Hz+ display, even everyday scrolling feels smoother. If your work involves visuals, light editing, or multitasking with lots of movement on screen, a higher refresh rate reduces eye strain and adds a subtle comfort you may not notice until you go back to 60Hz.
Is it worth paying more for USB-C and built in speakers in a monitor?
If you use a laptop and want a single cable setup, USB C with power delivery is a game changer. It charges your device and transmits video and audio through one cable. Built-in speakers won’t replace good external ones but are handy for casual calls or quick video playback. Together, these features reduce desk clutter and simplify your setup, key reasons why many top rated monitors include them.
Factors to consider while purchasing a top rated monitor
- Panel type: Choose IPS for better colour and angles, VA for deeper contrast, and TN for faster response times.
- Screen size and resolution: Larger screens with higher resolutions (e.g., 1440p or 4K) give more space and clarity for work or content.
- Refresh rate: A higher refresh rate (100Hz or more) means smoother visuals, useful for both gaming and scrolling.
- Ports and connectivity: Ensure it has HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C (if needed for single-cable setups).
- Adjustability: Look for height, tilt, swivel, or pivot features for ergonomic comfort.
- Colour Accuracy: Monitors with 99% sRGB or more are better for creative work and true-to-life visuals.
- Built-in Features: Consider extras like built-in speakers, blue light filters, flicker-free tech, or built-in KVM switch.

MUMBAI: The much-loved 2005 romantic drama Parineeta, starring Vidya Balan and Saif Ali Khan, is set to return to cinemas across India on 29 August to mark its 20th anniversary. The film, based on Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s 1914 Bengali novel, was the directorial debut of the late Pradeep Sarkar and will be re-released in a newly restored 8K version.
PVR INOX and Vinod Chopra Films made the announcement on Wednesday, revealing that the remastered film will be screened nationwide in celebration of its enduring legacy.
Vidhu Vinod Chopra, who produced the film and recently helmed the critically acclaimed 12th Fail, shared his fondness for Parineeta.
“It’s more than just a film—it’s a journey of love, elegance, and soulful music,” Chopra said. “Every frame carries its own emotion, evolving with the story in a way that touches something deep within. I am proud of Pradeep Sarkar for the way he captured the grandeur of old Kolkata and infused it with timeless beauty. In this restored version, the visuals are even richer, and the locations more breathtaking.”
Set in 1960s Kolkata, Parineeta tells the story of childhood friends Lalita (Vidya Balan) and Shekhar (Saif Ali Khan), whose deepening bond is tested by class tensions and familial conflict. When Shekhar’s father attempts to acquire Lalita’s uncle’s house to build a hotel, the revelation creates a rift—until family friend Girish (Sanjay Dutt) intervenes, causing further misunderstanding between the lovers.
For Balan, who made her Bollywood debut with the film, the re-release is deeply emotional.
“Parineeta is where it all began,” she said in a statement. “Every frame of the film carries a piece of my heart, and I’ll forever be grateful to Pradeep da and Mr Vinod Chopra for believing in me. Even after all these years, people remember the film, the songs, and how it made them feel. People say every frame is like a painting—and that is Pradeep Sarkar’s magic. I hope new generations discover old-world love through Parineeta.”

DOS AND DON’TS: Sahil Chopra, Chairman, Indian Influencer Governing Council
For many brands, influencers have become a core pillar of marketing. For consumers, an influencer’s endorsement now carries more weight than traditional advertising. The creators themselves are facing challenges — what with the AI wave, on one hand, and a rising call for authenticity and accountability on the other.
So it’s pretty timely that a self-regulatory body — the Indian Influencer Governing Council — has been set up by industry stakeholders.
Launched in February, the council has been busy. It opened three chapters — Gurugram, Mumbai and Bengaluru. It also released a ‘code of standards’ for influencers and brands to ensure authenticity in collaborations and responsible content creation. But here is the interesting twist — the IIGC has also launched standards for consumers. “As digital influence shapes purchasing decisions, it is essential for consumers to differentiate between genuine recommendations and paid promotions, recognise manipulative marketing tactics, and engage ethically in online interactions,” the standards document states.
A supportive voice
Interestingly, IIGC is more focused on protecting the rights of influencers — the idea being to bring back trust in the overall influencer marketing ecosystem.
Sahil Chopra, IIGC Chairman, who is the Co-founder and CEO of adtech platform iCubesWire, says the council comes at a time when trust in influencer marketing is getting eroded, brands are getting away scot-free with questionable partnerships, and influencers are left unprotected while consumers are sometimes misled. “Our intent is to work with stakeholders across four key pillars — creators, platforms, brands and consumers — to moderate, add value to the ecosystem and standardise practices,” he adds
He stresses that the body does not aim to police the creator ecosystem.
“We have millions of creators in the country. Many influencers do not even know the dos and don’ts. We have creators taken to task for swearwords and facing legal action. Look at the level of mental strain they undergo. In fact, that is why we have launched IIGC Protect. We have collaborated with partners — Trilegal and United We Care — to offer legal and mental health support to creators,” Chopra adds.
IIGC is also focusing on contractual relationships between brands and creators. It offers templates and best practices to ensure all partnerships are governed by clear, fair, and transparent contracts. “This aims to address one of the most common sources of disputes in the space — informal, undocumented agreements that leave both parties vulnerable,” says the standards document.
Dispute resolution
An IIGC taskforce has also been set up to help brands navigate online reputation risks proactively through real-time digital listening, sentiment analysis, and crisis mitigation. Its mediation service offers a neutral and confidential space to resolve disputes related to content, reputational concerns, and contractual issues.
The priority for IIGC now is to ensure that the codes of standards are widely implemented, and to roll out memberships to get more stakeholders on board. Also on the cards is a training and certification initiative. “It will be like an academy, not just for creators but also brands. Influencers can become IIGC certified. They will be trained on what’s wrong and right, how to sign contracts with brands to protect their rights. It will also give brands great exposure to understand which influencers they should partner with, among other aspects,” Chopra explains.
In recent times, creators as well as celebrities are under scrutiny for non-disclosure of paid partnerships. “That’s just 1 per cent of the challenges in the influencer marketing ecosystem. There has been too much bashing and negativity around this issue. The more we keep diving into the non-disclosure part, the more we are missing the bigger challenges. Let’s not overplay and exaggerate the non-disclosure issue,” Chopra insists.
IIGC has also declared December 2 as ‘World Influencer Day’. “Creators are not just content generators, but also powerful voices shaping culture, commerce, and community. We need to acknowledge the role they are playing,” sums up Chopra.

A local startup is using artificial intelligence and robotics in an unlikely way: making sashimi and other fish dishes taste better, last longer and more humane.
El Segundo-based Shinkei Systems wants to bring a traditional Japanese method of handling fish to fine dining in America, using technology to replace the labor-intensive process historically handled by practitioners on board ships. Investors have just bet millions that it will succeed.
The company’s AI-driven robot — called Poseidon — has been designed to do a traditional form of fish handling called ikejime in Japanese. It is a method of killing fish that enthusiasts say enhances flavor, texture and shelf life.

Although fish processed in this way is found in some of the best restaurants in Japan, it hasn’t been promoted in the U.S. because it is generally too expensive. Automating the process will make it more readily available to Americans, said Saif Khawaja, the company’s chief executive.
“My end goal is that you’re walking into your local grocery store and can buy fish that lasts three times as long, tastes better and is handled humanely,” he said.
The company raised $22 million in a funding round last month, co-led by Founders Fund and Interlagos, bringing total funding to $30 million since its inception. It has four Poseidons working on ships in the Pacific and Atlantic and hopes to have 10 more working in the coming year.
The ikejime process involves taking live fish that has just been caught and quickly putting them out of their misery by killing them with a spike through the brain and cutting their gills. This stops the stress hormone and lactic acid buildup that can hurt flavor and texture when fish are left to asphyxiate.
Although traditional practitioners sometimes add a step in which the spinal cord is destroyed, Poseidon just does the first steps of the ikejime technique.

The method has remained largely artisanal even in Japan, where only some fishermen will make the effort to process batches of fish in this way to sell to specific sushi chefs who are obsessed with having the highest-quality ingredients.
Even in Japan, the method, “is still too labor-intensive to replicate at a high speed without damaging the fish,” Khawaja said, adding that, “It’s impractical and unsustainable for fishermen to adopt methods that require significant hands-on work,” in the U.S.
Shinkei says it also has a higher calling than just better-tasting fish. Khawaja said one of the motivations for developing the technology was to try to find a kinder, gentler way to kill fish than letting them die gasping for air.
During childhood fishing trips with his father in the Red Sea, he remembers it being “very hard to watch” fish suffocating after they were caught.

While he was in graduate school at the University of Pennsylvania, Khawaja was moved by an essay that argued that fish suffer inhumane deaths because they cannot vocalize pain. He even once considered developing sensors to make fish’s pain audible.
Shinkei provides Poseidon machines to fishermen, who then sell fish processed through the machines back to Shinkei at a premium. Shinkei in turn sells the fish to restaurants and other retailers underits fish company Seremoni.
Poseidon is roughly refrigerator-sized and sits on fishing boat decks. It processes fish within seconds of being caught. The fish is fed through an opening in the machine and into a small vinyl cavity. The machine then uses AI to identify what kind of fish it is and where exactly its brain and gills are.
Fish emerge with a hole in the head and incisions near the gills before being placed in an ice slurry for blood drainage.
Quickly killing the fish, bleeding it and chilling it without freezing leads to fish that is noticeably better, Khawaja said.
“There’s going to be a flavor profile difference and there’s going to be texture profile difference,” he said.

The company chose Los Angeles for its headquarters and production because it has the right mix of potential employees as well as customers. It has the mechanical engineering talent as well as a major fishing fleet and lots of high-end restaurants.
“The best mechanical engineering talent in the world, in my opinion, is in Southern California,” said Seremoni co-founder Reed Ginsberg.
The city is also a major health and consumer products hub as well as a trend setter for cutting-edge food fads.
Chef Michael Cimarusti, co-owner of the Michelin starred Providence restaurant in Los Angeles, says he tries to buy local ikejime fish when he can because it preserves the quality and color. The fish preserved using ikejime look as if they “were just pulled from the water minutes ago,” he said in an interview posted on YouTube by the American Fishing Tackle Co.
Shinkei currently processes thousands of pounds weekly across operations in Washington, Central California and Massachusetts, with expansion to Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico planned this year. After feedback from fishermen that the bots took up too much deck space, the company developed “Block 2” robots that have roughly half the footprint while processing fish twice as fast.

Currently, black cod and black sea bass processed through Poseidon are sold under Shinkei’s brand Seremoni at retailers such as Happier Grocery and served at upscale restaurants including Atomix and Sushi Zo. This summer, the company plans to add salmon and red snapper to its offerings.

It can be really easy to get overwhelmed and frustrated when things aren’t going well. First, you are going to need to have grace for yourself. Your schedule and routines change right along with your teens. They will likely need more of you in some ways. They may be pulling away from you in others. This is normal.
You will need to give them grace, too. Their brains are changing fast and adjusting to a new school year, and new teachers and new people will be tough on them and may not bring out the best in them either. Allow for grace when things don’t go well. Breathe. Give yourself a time-out. Let them take one too. Regroup when you need to. Call a family meeting and talk it out. It is just fine to keep it chill on the weekends if you can, allow them extra downtime, a little extra sleep on the weekends, and maybe even less responsibility around the house for a bit if needed.
In the end, don’t forget to pray. Pray with and for them. Give it to God and remind them that He is there with them every step of the way.
As an educator I see your kids working through their day like champs. As a parent, like you I see them often collapse at my door at the end of that day. Remember you want your home to be a haven for them where they can just be themselves but also where they can grow in independence and use those great skills they are learning about life.
A new school year is a great place to regroup and let your teens find their voices. They are leveling up each year, which is a big deal. Remember, you’ve got this. And when you don’t? All the grace and flexibility for you, too, my friend. And God has got you, too.

Another vacation destination is calling out beachgoers over their swimsuits as summer hotspots continue to combat the disruptions of overtourism.
The seaside resort of Les Sables-d’Olonne, France, has implemented a ban against tourists frolicking around town in their swimwear.
Yannick Moreau, the town mayor, took to his Facebook page to remind locals and tourists that it “is forbidden to walk around topless or in a swimsuit.”

“It’s a question of respect for locals who don’t want people wandering around their town half-naked,” Moreau wrote.
“It’s also a rule for basic hygiene in our markets, our shops and our streets,” he added. “It is also an elementary rule of public hygiene in our markets, our businesses, our alleys.”

Municipal police officers are empowered to enforce the rule, with violators facing up to $175 in fines.
The town’s campaign is accompanied by the slogan “In Les Sables d’Olonne, respect doesn’t go on holiday.”
Flyers displaying the rule remind tourists that their beaches stretch seven miles, allowing tourists to sport their suits there – but not in the town.

“These summer outfits disturb the population. They go against our society’s moral values and sense of decency,” Mayor Layachi Allaoua said, as Fox News Digital previously reported.
“The population can no longer tolerate seeing foreigners wandering the streets in indecent clothing,” he added.

Officials in the coastal city of Annaba then called on the mayor to rescind his order.
After two days of controversy, the mayor reversed the order — saying he wanted to preserve “peace and tranquility” for both locals and tourists and that he was not influenced by Islamist pressure, according to AP.

The school year starts soon for many students, and ChatGPT has announced a new “study mode” that aims to prevent—or at least, encourage against—students taking homework shortcuts.
The mode is designed around the Socratic method, so when activated, OpenAI’s generative AI chatbot rejects direct requests for answers, instead guiding the user with open-ended questions. The new study mode is available to most logged-in users of ChatGPT, including those on the free version.
OpenAI has significantly disrupted the education system over the past few years, with students becoming some of the earliest adopters of ChatGPT. Even so, OpenAI claims the bot is currently an overall boon to learners—if asked to roleplay as a synthetic tutor.
“When ChatGPT is prompted to teach or tutor, it can significantly improve academic performance,” says Leah Belsky, a vice president of education at OpenAI, “but when it’s just used as an answer machine, it can hinder learning.”
The problem is, no matter how engaging ChatGPT’s study mode becomes as OpenAI iterates on this feature, it exists just a toggle click away from ChatGPT, with direct answers (and potential fabrications) about whatever class you’re working on. That could be quite hard to resist for younger users still developing their frontal lobe.
It’s true that students on the hunt for easy ways to avoid engaging with the substance of a course have always had resources available to them, like the CliffNotes series of literature summaries. Still, the immediacy and personalized nature of chatbots feels like an escalation. Multiple AI-focused smartphone apps that can solve homework problems with just a snapshot, like ByteDance’s Gauth, rocket in popularity whenever the school year gets back into session. Many educators have recently raised concerns about the continued, and often secretive, use of AI by students.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman doesn’t buy it. “I remember when I was in school—junior high—Google first came out and all the teachers freaked out,” Altman said on a recent podcast. Similar to the internet and the calculator, Altman sees AI as a tool capable of helping you “think better.”
ZDRAVLJE probavnog sustava daleko je više od redovite stolice – ono utječe na imunitet, razinu energije i čak raspoloženje. U središtu svega su crijeva i milijarde mikroorganizama koji u njima žive. Ako želimo održati tu mikrofloru zdravom, prehrana igra ključnu ulogu. A među svim namirnicama koje pomažu crijevima, jedan orašasti plod posebno se ističe.
Prema mišljenju gastroenterologa dr. Willa Bulsiewicza, najbolji izbor za zdravlje crijeva su orasi. Evo zašto su upravo oni zaslužili titulu najkorisnijeg orašastog ploda za probavu.
Zašto su orasi najbolji izbor za crijeva?
Vlakna koja hrane korisne bakterije
Jedna porcija oraha (oko 28 grama ili 14 polovica) sadrži oko dva grama prehrambenih vlakana. Kako za Eating Well objašnjava gastroenterolog: “Vlakna su ključna za zdravlje mikrobioma. Većina ljudi unosi ih znatno manje od preporučene količine.”
Vlakna potiču redovito pražnjenje crijeva, sprječavaju zatvor i hrane korisne bakterije u probavnom sustavu. Rezultat je uravnoteženija mikroflora i bolja probava.
Omega-3 masne kiseline koje smanjuju upalu
Orasi su jedan od rijetkih biljnih izvora omega-3 masnih kiselina, točnije alfa-linolenske kiseline (ALA). Osim što su dobre za srce, omega-3 masnoće povoljno djeluju i na crijeva.
Mogu pomoći u rastu korisnih bakterija te smanjiti upale koje narušavaju sluznicu crijeva. Time se jača zaštitna barijera crijevnog zida i smanjuje rizik od takozvanog “propusnog crijeva”, stanja u kojem štetne tvari lakše ulaze u krvotok.

Poticanje stvaranja maslačne kiseline
Maslačna kiselina (butirat) važna je kratkolančana masna kiselina koja održava zdravlje debelog crijeva. Veće razine butirata u crijevima povezane su s manjom upalom, boljom cirkulacijom, pravilnijim radom crijeva i povoljnim mikrobiomom. Ova kiselina djeluje kao gorivo za crijevne stanice i izravno podupire zdravu probavu.
Snažni antioksidansi za zaštitu crijevnih stanica
Orasi su bogati antioksidansima poput elagitanina i flavonoida, koji štite crijevne stanice od oksidativnog stresa, poznatog kao proces koji može izazvati oštećenje tkiva i kronične upale, piše Eating Well.
Zdravlje crijeva počinje šakom oraha
Orašasti plodovi općenito su korisni za probavu jer sadrže vlakna i zdrave masnoće, ali orasi se posebno ističu zbog kombinacije hranjivih tvari koje ciljano djeluju na mikrobiom.
Ako želite podržati svoje crijevno zdravlje, uključivanje šake oraha u svakodnevnu prehranu jednostavan je i učinkovit korak. Uz to što su zasitni i ukusni, mogu imati dugoročne koristi za cijelo tijelo, iznutra prema van.

NABAVITI štene zvuči kao ostvarenje sna – mekano krzno, mokar nosić i bezuvjetna ljubav. No, dok slike sa društvenih mreža prikazuju samo onaj slatki dio, stvarnost dolaska šteneta u dom često je puna iznenađenja.
Donosimo pet stvari koje vam nitko ne kaže unaprijed, ali bi vam itekako mogle olakšati prve tjedne života s novim četveronožnim članom obitelji.
1. Spavat ćete manje nego što mislite
Štenci, baš kao i bebe, ne poznaju razliku između dana i noći. U prvim tjednima često se bude svaka dva do tri sata – zbog gladi, nelagode ili jednostavno zato što im nedostaje sigurnost legla.
Noćno piškenje, cviljenje i traženje pažnje potpuno su normalni. Ako ste mislili da ćete spavati kao prije – pripremite se za realnost. Rutina i strpljenje ključni su u ovoj fazi.
2. Vaš dom više neće biti isti – doslovno
Koliko god mislite da ste “pripremili stan”, štene će vas razuvjeriti. Glođu se kutevi namještaja, žice postaju igračke, a papuče iznenada nestaju.
Važno je odmah postaviti granice i osigurati prostor u kojem se štene može sigurno kretati, bez opasnosti za njega – i vaš inventar.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
3. To što štene ima “pelenu” ne znači da će je koristiti
Iako su mnogi oglasi puni obećanja o “naviknutosti na podlogu”, stvarnost je često drukčija. Proces privikavanja na obavljanje nužde vani traje tjednima, uz puno strpljenja i dosljednosti. Nezgode u kući su neizbježne, ali ih možete svesti na minimum ako štenca vodite van nakon svakog spavanja, igranja i jela.
4. Bit ćete pod stalnim “napadom” zubića
Štenci istražuju svijet zubima, a to znači da će grickati sve – vaše ruke, odjeću, kablove, stoliće i, da, čak i nos ako ga dohvate. To nije agresija, već način učenja i ublažavanja nelagode zbog rasta zubi. Ponudite mu razne sigurne igračke za žvakanje i naučite ga što smije, a što ne smije grickati.
5. Odgajanje šteneta je emocionalni i fizički izazov
Odluke koje donosimo u prvim mjesecima određuju ponašanje psa cijeli život. Puno vlasnika osjeti frustraciju, sumnju ili čak grižnju savjesti jer ne ide sve savršeno. To je sasvim normalno. Niste loš vlasnik ako se osjećate preplavljeno. Dosljednost, ljubav i edukacija (uz pomoć trenera ako treba) vode do stabilnog, sretnog psa – ali to ne dolazi preko noći.
Štene unosi mnogo veselja, ali i nove odgovornosti koje se ne vide odmah. Priprema, realna očekivanja i otvorenost za učenje ključ su uspjeha. Jer, na kraju dana, kad vas pogledaju tim očima punim povjerenja – znat ćete da se sve isplatilo.

OVOG su ljeta poznate Hrvatice pokazale zavidnu kolekciju kupaćih kostima. Maja Šuput, Franka Batelić, Severina, Ella Dvornik i mnoge druge odabrale su upečatljive boje, klasiku i trendi uzorke, a mi smo pronašli iste ili slične modele za sve koji traže inspiraciju za plažu.
Maja Šuput
Maja Šuput je pokazala nekoliko različitih modela, od bijelog jednodijelnog Magde Butrym preko crne klasike, a posebnu pozornost nam je privukao kupaći kostim upečatljive plave boje.
Sličan smo kupaći kostim pronašli na Ferfetchu.
Nina Badrić
Nina Badrić također je pokazala nekoliko kupaćih kostima, a sudeći po viđenom voli klasike. No osim klasičnog crnog, poigrala se i trendovima te je zablistala u tamnoplavom kupaćem kostimu s točkastim uzorkom.
Sličan smo kupaći kostim pronašli na Nextu, a posebno nam se svidio zeleni detalj u obliku mašnice. Ovaj kostim ima podstavu sa žicom.
Ana Gruica
Glumica se drži provjerenih klasika, pa je odabrala jednostavan crni bikini za plažu koji je pokazala na fotografijama iz Grčke.

Reliance Jio has rolled out a new cloud-based virtual desktop service, JioPC, aimed at turning any television into a functional personal computer. The service eliminates the need for a separate CPU by operating entirely through the Jio Set-Top Box, which is compatible with existing JioFiber connections or can be purchased independently.
JioPC allows users to connect a keyboard and mouse to their TV to access a virtual desktop interface. It runs on the cloud and uses Ubuntu (Linux) as its operating system. The platform is intended for basic computing tasks, including web browsing, programming, online learning, and document editing. However, it currently does not support hardware peripherals such as webcams or printers.
The service is being offered on a pay-as-you-go basis, with no long-term contracts or maintenance charges. Monthly plans start at ₹599 plus GST, and customers can opt for longer-duration packages that include additional months of complimentary usage. For instance, a ₹1,499 plan covers three months with an extra month included, totalling four months of unlimited use. Similarly, the annual ₹4,599 plan comes with three additional months, extending the total service period to 15 months.
JioPC’s virtual machine configuration includes four CPUs, 8GB RAM, and 100GB of cloud storage. In addition to the base software, which features LibreOffice, users can access Microsoft Office applications via browser-based access. Subscribers will also receive a one-month trial with access to Jio Workspace, browser-based Microsoft Office tools, and expanded 512GB cloud storage.
To boost creative and productivity capabilities, JioPC has partnered with Adobe to offer users free access to Adobe Express, a platform for graphic design and content creation. The subscription also includes access to AI tools and other commonly used applications, enhancing its utility for users without access to a traditional computer setup.
Setting up the service involves powering on the Jio Set-Top Box, launching the JioPC application via the Apps section, and registering through a linked contact number. Once logged in, the cloud desktop becomes instantly accessible.
An uninterrupted internet connection is essential for using the service, as all computing processes are carried out on remote servers. With its cloud-first approach, JioPC is positioned as an alternative for students, home users, and others seeking basic desktop functionality without the cost of conventional hardware.
NEW DELHI: Author Kiran Desai has made it to the longlist for the Booker Prize with her latest novel, The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny, 19 years after she won the prestigious award for The Inheritance of Loss.
The list, announced on Tuesday, features a selection of 13 long-form fiction by seven women and six men from nine countries, the Booker Prize Foundation announced.
“There are short novels and some very long ones. There are novels that experiment with form and others that do so less obviously. Some of them examine the past, and others poke at our shaky present. They are all alive with great characters and narrative surprises. All, somehow, examine identity, individual or national, and all, I think, are gripping and excellent,” Roddy Doyle, chair of judges, said in a statement.
Published by Hamish Hamilton, Desai’s latest novel is a “thrilling, globe-spanning novel that mines questions of memory, language, identity and family”.
According to the Booker Prize website, the novel follows the lives of Sonia and Sunny, two young people navigating the many forces that shape their lives – country, class, race, history, and the complicated bonds that link one generation to the next.
The list also includes The South by Tash Aw, Love Forms by Claire Adam, Universality by Natasha Brown, One Boat by Jonathan Buckley, Flashlight by Susan Choi, Audition by Katie Kitamura, The Rest of Our Lives by Ben Markovits, The Land in Winter by Andrew Miller, Endling by Maria Reva, Flesh by David Szalay, Seascraper by Benjamin Wood, and Misinterpretation by Ledia Xhoga.
“Oh wow! Kiran Desai’s The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny is longlisted for the 2025 Booker Prize 19 years after The Inheritance of Loss won. What a staggering return! (Out in September!)” Manasi Subramanian, editor-in-chief and vice-president at Penguin Random House India which overlooks Hamish Hamilton imprint, wrote on X.
At more than 650 pages, Desai’s third novel is also the longest in the list, while the shortest is Universality by Natasha Brown at 156 pages.
For the first time, the shortlist of six books will be announced at a public event, which is to be held at Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall in London on September 23.
The six shortlisted authors will each receive GBP 2,500 (approx Rs 2. 90 lakh) and a specially bound edition of their book.
The announcement of the winning book will take place on November 10 in a ceremony at Old Billingsgate in London. The Booker Prize winner receives GBP 50,000 (approx Rs 58 lakh).
NSE has offered a record amount of nearly ₹1,400 crore to settle legal matters

National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. is awaiting a response from the country’s market regulator on its offer to settle long pending cases that could clear the path for its much delayed initial public offering.
The operator of the country’s biggest stock exchange filed two applications with the Securities and Exchange Board of India on June 20, to settle the cases related to its co-location services and unauthorized installation of fiber optic lines, it said in notes to June quarter earnings statement. NSE did not give details of its offer.
The Mumbai-headquartered bourse, also the largest derivatives exchange globally by number of contracts traded, has offered a record amount of nearly ₹1,400 crore ($161 million) to settle legal matters. The move can potentially remove a key hurdle toward the bourse’s public listing, for which it had first filed papers in 2016.
NSE’s listing plans have been halted by the market regulator due to ongoing cases dating back to 2015 in which some high-frequency trading firms were alleged to have gained unfair access to its co-location servers. The investigation derailed the exchange’s IPO ambitions even though its unlisted shares continue to attract investor interest.

Raj Nayak’s big new idea
Former Viacom18 COO launches House of IPs
Carlos Salgado wowed the world of Mexican food the moment he opened Taco María in 2013.
His marriage of high-end with homestyle — sturgeon tacos, Flamin’ Hot chicharrones, handmade blue corn tortillas from kernels he imported from Mexico and milled himself — seemed better suited to Los Angeles or Mexico City than a hipster food hall in Costa Mesa.
The accolades came quickly: L.A Times restaurant of the year in 2018. Four straight Michelin stars. One of Esquire’s most important U.S. restaurants of the 2010s. Salgado was a Best Chef in California finalist for the James Beard Awards — the Oscars of the restaurant industry — in June 2023.
A month later, Salgado shocked his fans by closing Taco María.
As his good friend, I have the exclusive on what’s next. It’s … Wisconsin?
A few months after the restaurant closed, Salgado relocated to Door County — the childhood home of his wife, Emilie Coulson Salgado — in a move that left Southern California’s food scene befuddled, if people knew at all.
If anyone deserved to go all “Walden,” it was the thoughtful Salgado. He had worked nonstop for a decade, weathering the pandemic and an Orange County audience that usually got mad when he explained why his space didn’t serve chips and salsa or had “Black Lives Matter” stenciled on the patio window. Taco María’s lease was up, the location was never the best fit and Carlos and Emilie wanted to spend more time with their two young children and her parents while they recharged and decided what was next.
Now, after some time off, they’re in the restaurant business again, opening La Sirena this month in Ephraim, population 345, about an hour and a half away from the nearest big city, Green Bay.
Expect everything that made Taco María so incredible — a prix fixe menu, a focus on local produce and meat, those fabulous blue corn tortillas that taste like a time portal to Tenochtitlan — except on the shores of Lake Michigan instead of off the 405 freeway.
Nothing against the Badger State, but the idea of a Mexican chef of Salgado’s caliber setting up on a peninsula jutting into a Great Lake is like Shohei Ohtani announcing he’s leaving the Dodgers to join a Sunday beer league. Gustavo Dudamel deciding his next gig isn’t the New York Philharmonic but the Whittier Regional Symphony. Gov. Gavin Newsom forsaking his office to run the Friends of the Sacramento Public Library.
About 8% of Wisconsin’s population is Latino, and Door County is 96% white. The Mexican food scene outside Milwaukee and maybe Racine is still mostly combo plates washed down with massive margaritas, or cartoonishly big burritos in the Chipotle model. Wisconsin is … Wisconsin, land of cheese curds and brats and brandy Old Fashioneds.
“I would push back that [Mexican food] is out of place anywhere in the United States,” Salgado told me by phone last week. “We are the foundation of the restaurant and hospitality industry, farming and construction — I don’t need to say all the ways we’re embedded.”
He sure shut me up there! Besides, I’m proud that his and Emilie’s next step is in an isolated spot in a state that went for Donald Trump in two of the past three elections. California needs all the ambassadors we can get, especially in places that don’t look like us — and we can’t get better ambassadors than them.

“In parts of the Midwest, you mention you’re from California, there’s inevitably haters who want to believe that we left California because it’s a failed state, and they try to commiserate with us about how California is uninhabitable,” the 45-year-old Salgado said. “Of course, I don’t believe that. I have pangs of longing for my home state every day, especially fruits!”
“I actually thought we’d live in California forever, and I still consider us California people,” Coulson Salgado, 41, said in a separate interview. “But this experiment to be here [Wisconsin] turned out to be really good for us and our children.”
The two met in San Francisco in 2008, when Coulson Salgado was working for a literacy nonprofit and Salgado was a pastry chef at a high-end restaurant. He moved back to his native Orange County in 2011 aiming to help with his immigrant family’s Cal-Mex restaurant in Orange.
Instead, he capitalized on the era’s food truck craze and opened Taco María. Coulson moved down in 2013 to help transition the luxe lonchera to a brick-and-mortar, eventually becoming the restaurant’s general manager and beverage director, roles she will also assume at La Sirena.
Taco María was a daily miracle, especially given its Orange County location. Salgado got nationwide media coverage and forced Angelenos to do the unimaginable: travel to O.C. for Mexican food. His exhortations for people to value Mexican cuisine and the people who make it was essential in an era where too many Americans love the former and loathe the latter.
But the grind of running a restaurant — which I know too well, through my wife — wore on the couple. They didn’t want to be rushed into opening a new Taco María, so they decided a sojourn to Door County would be fun and also right.
“Emilie put in 15 years with me in California,” Salgado said, and moving to Wisconsin “was something we felt we deserved as a family.”
He unwound from the restaurant rush by hiking through Door County’s forests and fishing in its waterways while continuing Taco María’s successful salsa macha mail-order business; Emilie moonlighted as a grant writer. The plan was to return to California sometime in 2024 and hop back on the restaurant hamster wheel.
But the more they experienced Door County’s slower pace of life, the more they realized it would be nearly impossible to replicate that in Southern California.
“We started Taco María without kids,” Salgado said. “This trial gave us the opportunity to imagine the kind of balance that we wanted, and we realized that we stood a very good chance of creating it here.”
I asked if he meant the cost of living or the sclerotic traffic or the lack of affordable housing or any of the other reasons California quitters give when they leave and whine about their move.
“We’re certainly not California quitters,” Salgado deadpanned. “People talk all the time about making career changes to spend more time with their families, and this is really it for now.”
Coulson Salgado said it’s been “wonderful” to return to where she grew up “with the eyes of an adult.” Door County has seen newcomers from California in recent years, mostly young families drawn by its immaculate landscapes. She does miss the multiculturalism of Southern California — “My son will say, ‘Let’s get pho!’ and I have to remind him we’re not in Orange County anymore,” she said with a laugh.

She doesn’t frame the opening of La Sirena in the rural Midwest in the age of Trump as a political act. But she brought up the “terrible” deportation deluge that has hit Southern California this summer (Wisconsin has so far been spared, “but we’re on high alert for it”) as a reason why their presence matters.
“It’s not like we’re in some alternate universe out here,” she said, “but you could be if you weren’t paying attention, and that’s what’s scary … But that’s why it’s more important than ever to create more pockets of joy.”
Her husband vowed that California “hasn’t seen the last of us yet,” while giving no timeline for a return.
In an ideal world, he and Emilie would run both La Sirena and a restaurant back in O.C.
“I’m proudly Mexican American,” Salgado said. “And I’m not going to shy away from taking up space and perform brown excellence in anywhere that I am.”
Men’s wear stores around the country have cleared shelf space for teacups and handmade ceramics so image-conscious men can invest in their home space.

“Hey, daddy, watch this!” The bold declaration every child screams right before they do that miraculous stunt only a dad would be proud of. If you are a parent, you have likely had to stop everything you are doing to look up, give that little one your full attention, and show some sort of recognition of how enamored you are with their skills and talents.
Are we really any different? While we may not always seek the accolades of our earthly fathers, as believers, our hearts yearn for the approval and attention of our Heavenly Father. That’s because we were created in a way that longs to intimately know our God (Jeremiah 29:13), and we desperately seek His acceptance; it’s innate in all of us (Romans 15:7). In other words, we are all His children just screaming from the deepest desires of our hearts, “Dad, watch this! Did you see me? I am doing this for you. Aren’t you proud of me?”
But, what about the times when you are striving to do “all the right things” and loudly (or maybe quietly) yearning for God’s full-on attention, only to be met with the sting of silence or worse yet, the feeling of harsh rejection?
The Truth About Dark Seasons
Let’s address the issue of wavering faith, first. You know the times when faith feels forced, uncomfortable, lacks authenticity, or seems to be spiraling out of control. We’ve all been there. Maybe you are there now. It’s those strange seasons when God appears distant or life becomes so burdensome, hope gets lost in the shuffle of circumstances.
Just because we are Christ-followers doesn’t mean we automatically live “joyfully” ever after, making impacts wherever we go, glorifying God, and never doubt or question our faith. In fact, it is often in these times when we are demanding God’s attention that two things generally happen. We are quietly growing spiritually (even if it doesn’t feel like it) and we gain the attraction of the deceiver!
Darling friend, if you find yourself in a dark season, wholeheartedly seeking God to no avail, I invite you to grab your Bible and sit with me. You aren’t alone, and I don’t say that lightly, because I am in this dark season with you. It’s tough, I know, you can admit that. But together, let’s have a heart-to-heart and discover three insightful truths that may just set your soul free!

1. God Is Still Writing Your Story and Will Use It for Good
In full transparency, I haven’t written much in this space. Not because I don’t enjoy writing and working with the most amazing editors ever (truly they are), but because I didn’t want to come across as a phony, a fake, or worse yet, a lukewarm Christian. After all, who am I to share on something so personal when my own faith is so shaky?
Sure, my faith has had its fair share of ups and downs lately, but the enemy has a unique way of attacking us, and for me, he got to the heart of the issue – my motherhood. The past three years have been rough with our oldest daughter. Wounds have been acquired, scars formed, and unfortunately, guilt and shame have become a part of her story, my story, our family’s story. My heart has been shattered in ways I can’t even begin to explain. It’s been a lot. And while I know there is a sweet place for redemption in her story (and all of ours), the hurtful actions have shaken my faith a bit – okay, a lot.
Life is hard, there is no doubt. However, the truth is that we are currently living in a good vs. evil story. Some chapters of this life will come with joy and heavy applause from the Father, while other chapters will have us on our knees begging for God to meet us in the puddle of tears on the floor, pleading for answers, wisdom, discernment, hope – anything. However, what we must be mindful of is that God isn’t our “happily ever after,” He is our sole reason for our very existence because He is the One with the pen, writing each page of your story with intention, on purpose. He is the Author who takes great pride as He carefully writes the pages of your life. Yes, sometimes those pages are messy, and the enemy weasels his way in. But God can, and will, use every part and every season to showcase His love, redemption, mercy, and grace (Hebrews 12:2, Philippians 1:6, and Revelation 22:13). As long as you have breath, you have a divine purpose on this earth. So, keep breathing and pushing on.

2. God’s Chosen People Entered Dark Seasons and Grew Spiritually
There are countless people in God’s Word that have waded through heavy and dark seasons only to come out on the other side with a story that is wrapped in hope, reconciliation, amazing grace, and God’s goodness.
That means stories of God’s chosen people, the stories we read about and glean from, all embarked on a journey of faith only to land in places of isolation, wondering around desolate and barren places, finding themselves battling depression, bending towards temptation, filled with sorrow and pain; all beguiled towards this darkness that taunted and lured them in. Even some of the disciples doubted Jesus, questioned God, and came into a tug-of-war of their faith, encountering desperate seasons that led to a weary soul. Yet, these stories remind us of their humanness, showing their flaws that we all share and can easily relate to, all the while exemplifying God’s goodness and faithfulness!
If you are a sister in Christ, I invite you to take a glance at some familiar stories with a fresh set of eyes. Sarah is known for her faith and obedience, but she doubted God’s ability to give her a child (Genesis 11-13) and even mocked God with her ill-witted humor. Even still, God delivered on His promise. Naomi battled loss and was struggling with grief, feeling that God had abandoned her (Ruth 1:20-21), yet she played a huge part in the love story between Ruth and Boaz. Mary and Martha also give us a good lesson on redemption and that the posture of our heart is how we experience God’s precious presence.
If you are a brother in Christ, dig into the story of Peter, the beloved disciple, who willingly followed Jesus with adoration, but when fear overcame him, he failed to trust God and denied Him three times (Matthew 14:22-33). Isaiah and Elijah, both major prophets known for their faithfulness and predictions of the coming Messiah, portray writings that reveal an inner battle and period of heaviness and emotional distress (Isaiah 33 and 1 Kings 19:4-14). Jeremiah may be known as the “weeping” prophet as he grew so disheartened over the sin and idolatry of Judah (Jeremiah 8-12), but he faced loneliness and rejection and had bouts of anger and bitterness (Jeremiah 15:17-18 and Jeremiah 18:19-23).
Their stories are our stories. God used them, even in hard times, growing them spiritually. He does the same for me… and for you!

3. Jesus Is Cheering You On!
Dark seasons are commonplace for us as believers. As we run this “great race of life,” we can be assured that there will be ups and downs, highs and lows, twists and turns, and unexpected events that will either give us a streak of endurance or leave us coasting on fumes.
But it may still have us questioning… Does God really cheer us on? Is that even Biblical? Yes, Jesus is seen throughout Scripture encouraging His disciples, the crowds of people that gathered for His teachings, and His words are meant for us as well.
Jesus encourages us to come to Him when we are weary and need rest (Matthew 11:28). He tells us that we will most certainly face trials and tribulations, be He has overcome the world. He is the way, truth, and life (John 16:33 and 14:6), and gives us ways to live abundantly. When we approach this life with a genuine heart, asking and seeking God’s will, we find the goodness that He has for us (Matthew 7:7). These truths (and so many more) will set us free from the darkness and lead us to the Light (John 8:32).
Furthermore, Jesus has a special message and promise for those who are poor in spirit and spiritually bankrupt. That means He has a message for us, my friend. In Matthew 5:3, Jesus says that those who are in dark, crushing seasons of the soul will be blessed and inherit the kingdom of Heaven. Read that again if you need to. In God’s upside-down kingdom, there is no need to earn God’s favor or strive to get His attention; you already have it! He sees and knows the nature of your heart and the motives behind each of your actions. And He is cheering you on, encouraging you to stay the course and run the race, even when it is hard. The best part is He isn’t just on the sidelines just clapping and smiling, He is running this race right alongside you, all while preparing a place for you to spend with Him in eternity!

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Conversations about flying today are sparking memories of nostalgic times in the skies and the ways in which travel has changed over the years.
A Reddit user recently posted a message in the “r/aviation” forum, asking, “So were the airlines of the ‘golden ages’ operating at a massive loss?”
“Pan Am, for example, lasted 64 years (1927-1991),” the person went on. “Pan Am and similar airlines offered spacious seating arrangements, proper cutlery and fine dining. Not to mention [that] being an airline crew [member] was prestigious, and I’m to assume that meant [a] competitive and subsequently high-paid profession.”
FLIGHT PASSENGER MAKES EASY MONEY IN UNEXPECTED SEAT SWAP DEAL, SPARKING BIG DEBATE
The user added, “These amenities and circumstances are extremely cost-intensive … Today it is so far from the luxury it once was, [given that] cost-cutting and corporate culture reign supreme.”
Fox News Digital reached out to travel experts for insights as Redditors took to the comments section to discuss with passion the evolution of flying over the years — with many fawning over the old days and others calling out the high prices.

“Look how the passengers are dressed,” commented one user.
Another user wrote, “Flights [were] mainly for wealthy people. Tickets were really expensive.”
SNEAKY AIRLINE PASSENGER’S CARRY-ON HACK SPARKS DEBATE OVER FLIGHT ETIQUETTE
“Old guy here,” one man reflected. “Went on my first flight at 6 years old in 1970 from Chicago to Florida. Each ticket cost $500 (equivalent of maybe $2,500 now). We went out and bought special ‘airplane clothes,’ the equivalent of church attire. I remember eating steak on the plane. Different days indeed,” he added.
Another Redditor claimed, “In the ‘50s, airlines started doing ‘themed’ flights with a menu to match, and some Scandinavian airlines would even carve a whole ham in front of you. The ’50s-’70s was really the Golden Age for travel where the food became a huge selling point of flying.”

“The meals [were] served on china, cutlery, the actual food, drinks … [the] majority [of it] served by hand … [There was] no ‘cart hauling,'” said a user. “It was an experience.”
Former flight attendant and Florida-based etiquette expert Jacqueline Whitmore also emphasized that flying was once a luxury experience.
“Flight attendants served real food on real plates.”
“Passengers dressed in their Sunday best,” she told Fox News Digital. “Flight attendants served real food on real plates.”
She said flight attendants were “held in high regard,” were well-groomed and well-mannered, and were “treated like celebrities.”
FLIGHT ATTENDANT DEMANDS PASSENGER SPIT OUT ZYN, LEAVING TRAVELERS CONFUSED ABOUT POLICIES
She said that “now, flying is about getting from point A to B. Budgets are tight and air travel is about quantity, not quality. More seats were added, and meals were cut. Personal space is now at a premium.”
Whitmore added, “Many passengers lack civility and common courtesy. Some treat the cabin crew like servants. Passengers eat whatever they want, regardless of whether it smells or not.”
“Passengers dressed in their Sunday best. Flight attendants served real food on real plates.” (Fredric Lewis/Getty Images)
She also said, “Seats are getting smaller and are more uncomfortable, giving passengers less leg and arm room. If you want anything special (early boarding, more leg room), you have to pay for it. Everything is now ‘extra.’”
Gary Leff, a Texas-based travel industry expert and author of the blog “View From the Wing,” told Fox News Digital it’s easy to look back at the early days of air travel “through rose-colored glasses.”

“There are many ways in which flying is better now than it’s ever been,” he said. “Flying is safer than it used to be. Long-haul business class usually means flat beds, and often even with privacy doors. Lounges in airports are far more elevated.”

He also pointed out that technological advances allow passengers to be entertained while in the air with personal TVs in their seats.
Many Reddit users said the changes in flying experiences are due to airline regulation.
“You didn’t have federally controlled mandates and high taxes,” commented one user.

Another user wrote, “The airline deregulation act made those days go away. It made travel cheaper and more accessible for the average traveler.”
“Most people misunderstand the regulated era of airlines,” said Leff.
“If you want anything special (early boarding, more leg room), you have to pay for it. Everything is now ‘extra.’” (iStock)
“It wasn’t about consumer protection. It was about ensuring airline profitability! There was a mistaken belief that airlines would compromise safety if they didn’t earn consistent profits …We saw continued strong safety records throughout the bankruptcies most major airlines have been through.”

He added, “Since fares were so high and airlines weren’t allowed to compete by lowering them, they still tried to attract passengers (since each additional passenger was so profitable) — and the way they did it was by investing in services and amenities.”

For the RTX 5060, Nvidia only offered to send out the card if we agreed to stipulations around which games we would benchmark, which features we would enable, and which other GPUs we’d compare it to. That would’ve looked a lot better for Nvidia than the reality of the situation, putting an emphasis on multiframe-generation features only available on the newest cards, rather than directly comparing traditional rendering benchmarks.
All this to say, I personally went out and bought the RTX 5060 for this review, which wasn’t as tough as it is with the higher-end offerings. I’ve expressed in previous reviews that supply would be an issue, and having now lived it first-hand, it wasn’t pleasant, but it was possible. Cards are available, but you may have to jump through some hoops to get them into your cart, especially if there are discounts involved.

None of this affects the performance or my review, but I do think it’s an indication of how confident Nvidia is about what would historically be its most popular offering. The GPU makers may not want to admit it, but the benchmarks don’t lie: PC gaming is officially getting more expensive, and $300 just won’t buy you the same performance it would have even a few years ago.
Performance here is lacking, but it’s only going to get worse as time goes on and more developers start taking 16 GB for granted. While most gamers still play at 1080p, that number is always dropping, and I’ve said multiple times that you should at least target 1440p for a new build.
Otherwise, both the RTX 5060 Ti and RX 9060 XT offer much better value, and as I write this there are OC models for the latter at just over $300. The only reasons you should opt for the RTX 5060 instead is if you can find an exceptional deal, you literally only play Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 (2002), or you happen to have a 550W PSU you can’t or won’t upgrade.
PREHRANA ne utječe samo na tjelesnu težinu – ono što jedemo tijekom dana ima veliki utjecaj na razinu energije, koncentraciju i raspoloženje. Prema riječima dr. Daniela Amena, psihijatra i stručnjaka za zdravlje mozga, brojne popularne vrste hrane štete zdravlju crijeva i mozga. U nedavnom videu istaknuo je da je veza između probavnog sustava i mozga ključna za psihičku stabilnost, a upravo šećer, kaže on, najviše narušava tu ravnotežu.
“To su najgore namirnice kojima možete započeti dan”, upozorava dr. Amen, misleći na proizvode prepune šećera i aditiva, poput krafni, slatkih žitarica i peciva. Iako mogu djelovati kao brzi izvor energije, u stvarnosti izazivaju nagli porast šećera u krvi, nakon kojeg slijedi pad koji ostavlja mozak u stanju umora, nepažnje i razdražljivosti. “Čak i kada pojedete nešto što povisi šećer u krvi, gušterača to prepozna, a 45 minuta kasnije više ne možete jasno razmišljati”, objašnjava liječnik.
Takvi obroci možda djeluju praktično, ali ometaju mentalne procese već sredinom jutra
Posebno upozorava na kombinaciju slatke hrane i kofeina, koja može djelovati poticajno u trenutku, ali dugoročno iscrpljuje mozak. Takvi obroci možda djeluju praktično, ali ometaju mentalne procese već sredinom jutra.

“Pomislite što gotovo svakodnevno radimo djeci – dajemo im nešto brzo, poput šećera, žitarica i soka, i šećer im skoči. Odu u školu i ne mogu misliti i fokusirati se”, ističe dr. Amen.
Umjesto toga, preporučuje se odabir obroka bogatih proteinima koji pružaju stabilnu energiju i podržavaju rad mozga. “Zašto im jednostavno ne biste dali jaja?”, predlaže dr. Amen.
Ovakav pristup može značajno smanjiti oscilacije u razini šećera i pomoći tijelu i umu da funkcioniraju uravnoteženo tijekom cijeloga dana.

SIMPATIČNA snimka koja je prije pet dana objavljena na Instagram profilu @rylietravels prikazuje jedan od onih prizora koji jednostavno tope srca i podsjećaju na ljepotu prirode.
Glavne zvijezde snimke su ženka losa i njezino mladunče, snimljeni tijekom bezbrižne igre u rijeci. Majka i mladunče brčkaju se, trče kroz vodu i očito uživaju u trenutku, potpuno slobodni i bez straha.
Mnogi koji su pogledali videozapis komentirali su kako je nemoguće ostati ravnodušan na takav prikaz čiste sreće u životinjskom svijetu.
Ipak, na kraju snimke idila je nakratko prekinuta. Čini se da je ženka losa primijetila osobu koja ih snima te je odlučno krenula prema njoj.

Jesu li losovi opasni?
Losovi su najveći članovi obitelji jelena. Odrasle jedinke mogu biti visoke i do 2,1 metar, a najveći mužjaci teže i do 680 kilograma. Unatoč njihovoj impresivnoj veličini, losovi su uglavnom samotne i miroljubive životinje koje nisu teritorijalne i često toleriraju prisutnost drugih.
Međutim, situacija se drastično mijenja kada je u pitanju majka s mladunčetom ili mužjak tijekom sezone parenja. Veza između ženke losa i njezinog mladunčeta izuzetno je snažna, a majka će učiniti sve kako bi ga zaštitila od bilo kakve zamišljene prijetnje.
Upravo je taj snažan zaštitnički instinkt najvjerojatniji razlog zašto je na snimci izgledalo kao da se majka los sprema napasti osobu s kamerom.

BREND Rare Beauty, iza kojeg stoji popularna pjevačica i glumica Selena Gomez, uskoro lansira svoj prvi parfem. Iako postoji mnogo zanimljivih aspekata ovog noviteta, od dizajna prilagođenog svima do suradnje s poznatim imenom iz svijeta mirisa, mnogi se pitaju hoće li upravo ovaj parfem Selena odabrati za svoje vjenčanje.
Topao i zavodljiv miris
Prema službenoj najavi, Rare Eau de Parfum je topao i sladak miris koji se otvara gurmanskim notama karamele, pistacija i vanilije. Kasnije se razvijaju začinski i zemljani tonovi đumbira i sandalovine, stvarajući kompleksnu i dugotrajnu aromu, piše Nylon.
S obzirom na ovaj opis, možda ne iznenađuje što je Rare nastao u suradnji s Jérômeom Epinettem, nosom iza parfema Tobacco Mandarin brenda Byredo i najprodavanijeg “zavodnika u teglici” Sol de Janeira – Brazlian Bum Bum kreme.
Inovativna bočica s potpisom
Ono što ovaj parfem čini posebnim jest njegova bočica. Dizajnirana je u suradnji s terapeutima za ruke i inženjerima ambalaže kako bi bila ergonomična i jednostavna za korištenje osobama s poteškoćama u pokretljivosti ruku. Uz to, brend obećava postojanost mirisa do 12 sati.

Mirisni balzami za personalizaciju
No, to nije sve. Selena je odlučila ponuditi i četiri balzama za slojevito nanošenje mirisa: Amber Vanilla, Floral Peony Blossom, Fresh Bergamot i Woody Oak. Mogu se nositi samostalno ili u kombinaciji s parfemom kako bi se pojačao ili personalizirao mirisni doživljaj.
Parfem i balzami bit će dostupni od 7. kolovoza u Sephori te na službenim stranicama Sephora.com i RareBeauty.com. Preporučena cijena za parfem od 50 ml iznosi 75 dolara (oko 65 eura), dok će balzami koštati 19 dolara (oko 16 eura).
Fanovi su oduševljeni
Noviteti su izazvali val oduševljenja na društvenim mrežama među obožavateljima Selene Gomez i njezinog brenda Rare Beauty. Posebno se, očekivano, istaknuo parfem.
“Selena se ne šali s parfemima. Već znam da će ovo biti fantastično”, “Pakiranje je prekrasno”, “Jedva čekam ga isprobati”, neki su od komentara, dok se iz pojedinih objava može zaključiti da su neki već imali priliku isprobati parfem. “Miriše poput Burberry Goddess parfema, ali za otprilike 25% manju cijenu”, napisala je korisnica koja je navela da radi u Sephori i da su ga dobili prošli tjedan.

Riding on back of centuries from Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja, and Washington Sundar, India national cricket team managed to ensure a draw in the IND vs ENG 4th Test 2025, and kept the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy alive, which England national cricket team currently lead 2-1, with the fifth and final match starting on July 31 at The Oval in London. At Manchester, Indian batters bailed out the side after the bowlers displayed a poor performance under helpful conditions, which included Jasprit Bumrah, who managed just two wickets in the match, raising concerns over his fitness once again. England Squad For IND vs ENG 5th Test 2025 Announced; Selectors Rope In All-Rounder Jamie Overton.
Bumrah, who bowled 33 overs, looked jaded and tired while taking the stairs to the Indian dressing room at the end of Day 3, which made fans and former cricketers worried about the bowler’s future in Test cricket. Thankfully, Bumrah was not required to bowl in the remainder of the Test and could get time to recoup ahead of the fifth and final Test at The Oval, but his workload management remains a major concern. In this article, you will get to know about Bumrah’s availability for the IND vs ENG 5th Test 2025 in London. IND vs ENG 5th Test 2025: Narayan Jagadeesan Replaces Rishabh Pant for India’s Final Match Against England.
Will Jasprit Bumrah Play in IND vs ENG 5th Test 2025?
In the post-match conference, Team India head coach confirmed that all Indian national cricket team bowlers are fit for the upcoming IND vs ENG 5th Test 2025 at The Oval. However, Bumrah’s quota of featuring in three Tests in the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 as part of his workload management has already been capped; the pacer is likely not to feature at The Oval.
But, with other bowlers underperforming, and a shot at drawing the India vs England Test Series, team management might be tempted to risk Bumrah. Jasprit Bumrah is the joint second-highest wicket-taker in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 with 14, and has already bowled 119.4 overs, which is already the third-most for an Indian bowler.

WhatsApp seems to be working on a new feature that will make it easier to capture images in the dark by taking advantage of software-related enhancements. The feature was spotted in WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.25.22.2 and is likely to make its way to all users in the coming weeks.
According to a report by WABetaInfo, some WhatsApp beta testers have started seeing a new night mode at the top of the camera screen on the app. The new feature is activated by clicking on a moon-like icon, and the effects kick in once an image is clicked in low-light scenarios.
Night mode reportedly brings software-based improvements to the image by adjusting the exposure and reducing noise in dark environments, allowing the camera to capture more detail in the shadows without relying on external light sources. The feature could come in handy while capturing images in less-than-ideal lighting conditions.
The report does caution that the new night mode may not be as effective in extremely low-light scenarios, where it may offer only modest improvements rather than producing a detailed image.
Notably, WhatsApp does not activate the night mode automatically—users will have to manually tap on the icon in the camera to enable the feature for clicking more detailed images.
The feature comes shortly after WhatsApp rolled out visual effects to its in-built camera app, bringing a dedicated filter button to apply an array of visual effects in real time before taking a picture or video. These filters were earlier restricted to WhatsApp video calls, allowing users to bring a little bit of fun to their conversations.
WhatsApp to soon bring a feature to import profile pictures from Instagram:
Meanwhile, another recent WABetaInfo report stated that WhatsApp is working on a feature that will allow users to import profile pictures directly from Instagram or Facebook.
The feature seems fairly simple: users will go to their profile settings, click on edit to change their profile picture, and see two new options—Instagram and Facebook. Currently, WhatsApp allows users to change their profile picture by either capturing a new one directly from the app, choosing it from the gallery, selecting an avatar, or generating an AI image. With the new feature, they’ll also get the option to use their Instagram or Facebook profile picture as their display picture on the messaging app.

Shares of Torrent Pharmaceuticals hit a 52-week high in early trade as brokerages cheered in-line Q1FY26 results. Its net profit increased 20 per cent y-o-y to ₹548 crore for the quarter under review.
Citi has maintained buy at an increased target price of ₹4,380 from ₹4,000 earlier. The brokerage expects margin expansion to continue due to operating leverage in branded segments and potential US recovery.
Nuvama Institutional Equities argued that the pharma’s India business would benefit over the medium term due to the addition of 1,200 medical representatives (MRs) over FY25 and FY26. JB Chemicals’ acquisition is a long-term growth or value driver. Nuvama remains optimistic on Torrent Pharma and retained buy at an increased target price from ₹3,920 earlier to ₹4,180.
Elara Capital upgraded the stock from reduce to accumulate rating at a target price raised from ₹3,382 to ₹4,048 per share. However, it flagged slowdown in domestic market as a key risk.
HDFC Securities believes Torrent Pharma is well-positioned for steady growth, driven by its strong branded franchise supported by new product launches, expanding consumer wellness portfolio, and continued momentum in Brazil and a gradual turnaround in the US generics. The analysts retained add rating at a revised target price of ₹3,780 per share.
InCred Equities — maintaining hold at new target price of ₹3,700 per share — observed that at the current valuation, the stock is priced to perfection, reflecting strong fundamentals, growth outlook and concerns regarding acquisition. The valuation is likely to remain buoyant, supported by healthy earnings growth and continued operational excellence, it added.
At 11 am, the stock surged 3.03 per cent to ₹3,734.45 on the BSE after hitting a 52-week high of ₹3,749 in early trade.

Vinsmera Jewels’ sparkling ad campaign, which is breaking the internet, opens on a film set where the crew is arranging props for a jewellery shoot, even as Malayalam superstar Mohanlal hangs around. He looks covetously at the jewellery and then quietly vanishes. The scene changes. Everyone is frantically searching for the jewellery. Meanwhile, Mohanlal in his vanity van is seen trying them on, smiling at his reflection. As the director catches him in the act, the actor laughs with pure joy, breaking an uncomfortable moment. Mohanlal aces this tender, nuanced ad, directed by Prakash Varma of Nirvana films, that recasts masculinity.
Peeling the layers
Prime Video’s new campaign charmingly brings into focus the diversity of its catalogue, spanning themes, genres, languages, and storytelling formats. In the Hindi campaign, Manoj Bajpayee addresses the ‘what to watch’ dilemma humorously, cleverly weaving in the names of shows. Samantha’s Tamil version is even better. Meanwhile, an emotion sensing layer, developed by WPP OpenDoor and Wootag, allows viewers to interact with ads and instantly get a curated list of series or movies to suit the mood.
Grains of unity
On Instagram, a fascinating ‘passing the dabba’ relay is playing out. First we saw actor Soha Ali Khan, who comes from a multicultural background, unveiling the diversity of traditions and dishes in India as she rustles up a biryani made with India Gate basmati rice. Then we see chef Kunal Kapur make a fragrant chana pulao that reminds him of his mother, and which he packs off in dabbas. The dabbas are opened by other food influencers who, in turn, make their favourite rice dish flavoured with a memory. A delicious campaign served with a fun competition and prizes.
Sweet or sour?
The new campaign of confectionary brand Chupa Chups, from the house of Perfetti Van Melle, builds on the idea of how the fusion of sweet and sour can flip the ordinary into a chaos of pure fun. The TVC opens in a casual setting with a group of friends playing carrom with a packet of the tasting jellies beside them. The moment they bite into Chupa Chups Belts, the familiar game spirals into hilarious unpredictability with new rules, and tools. As the tagline goes, “Samajh Ke Bahar Hai, Jaise Chupa Chups Sweet Hai ya Sour Hai.” The campaign is crafted by Ogilvy.

My dog Rufus’ wellness journey started with what I now consider an oxymoron: healthy kibble.
Just weeks after I adopted him, Rufus stayed the weekend with his first babysitters, my friend Jamie and her then-partner, a famous country singer. When I came to retrieve my handful-sized little guy, said singer informed me that the so-called healthy dog food I’d proudly left them with (the most expensive one I could find at a grocery store) listed corn and wheat as the first two ingredients. Both were potential allergens for dogs, she said. You have to read the label and make sure meat was the first (and second and third) ingredient on the list.
Los Angeles is a dog town, no bones about it. In this weeklong series, we dig into the obsession.
Or better yet, make his food, like they did.
I had once visited their house and was overwhelmed by the smell of meat — and they’re vegetarians! It turned out to be a boiling cauldron of lamb bones. “For the dogs,” they said.
This was 2008. And it was not uncommon for even the most loving, well-meaning pet owner to feed their dog inexpensive, store-bought dog food. Making your own food for your dog would have been considered exotic. Maybe even a little, errr … overboard, an undertaking reserved for people who said things like, “My dog is my child,” or, as my then-neighbor said before she gave birth to two humans, “I feel like I gave birth to Jackson.” Jackson was, of course, her dog.
(Anne Fishbein / For The Times)
Today, human-grade dog food (food that contains ingredients suitable for humans and is processed to the same standards as human food) makes up 30% of the $44-billion-a-year pet food market in the U.S. But back in the aughts, none of the big brands offering this quality of food — Ollie, JustFoodForDogs nor the Farmer’s Dog — even existed. By and large, dogs ate kibble. And by and large, that kibble was made of grains.
During the same couple of decades the wellness industry — as in human wellness — exploded, to almost $2 trillion nationally. A number too large to contemplate, but suffice to say that 82% of consumers consider wellness a top priority. According to a survey conducted by Pew Research Center, 97% of dog owners consider their dogs part of the family, and 57% of women (43% of men) say their dogs are just as much a member as the human members. That these same humans are projecting their wellness priorities onto their furry family should come as no surprise.
‘I’m gonna love you forever’
When I got Rufus, I was not really a Dog Person. (Which begs the question: Why did you get Rufus? Another story for another time!) But a few days in, I was madly in love with him. He was, as they say in Mexico, my perr-hijo, or “dogchild,” and in no time, the idea of Rufus’ inevitable death was the thing that terrified me most in life. Of course, there are humans whose deaths I can’t bear to imagine, but the difference between a human loved one’s impending demise and that of our canine companions is, in a word: denial.
Humans have long enough lifespans, coupled with anti-aging illusions (Botox and hair dye!) that allow us to put off thoughts of the inescapable — until we can’t. But with the average life of a dog between 10 and 13 years — a span that by the time you’ve reached middle age feels like a season — you could start worrying about the end as early as the beginning. I know I did.

Dog food companies play into that fear in their advertising. The Farmer’s Dog commercial titled “Forever,” which launched during the Super Bowl in 2023, chronicles the life of a chocolate Labrador puppy and a little girl that ends with the girl as a woman and a mother, staring into the soulful eyes of her now white-muzzled dog while the R&B song “Forever” (“I’m gonna looooove … youuuu … forever …”) plays and the words “Nothing matters more than more years together” flash on the screen. (If you don’t tear up watching that ad, I’m guessing you’ve never loved a dog.)
Another Farmer’s Dog ad features a voice-over that says: “The average dog only lives to be 10. At the Farmer’s Dog, we don’t think that’s long enough.” The ad goes on to say, in essence, feed your dog our healthy, pre-portioned food and he’ll live longer.
Rufus came into the world 15 years before this manipulative marketing campaign. And besides, I didn’t need an advertisement to remind me that my days with Rufus were numbered. Simple math told me that it was highly likely that one day, I would be alive in a world with no Rufus in it, and this thought struck me with a cold terror.
What Rufus ate
In the meantime, I felt it was my responsibility that Rufus lived as long as caninely possible, and to make sure that Rufus’ every day on Earth was as good as I could make it. ( I’m thankful he was the kind of kid who could entertain himself with an empty plastic water bottle.) I wanted Rufus to feel good, to have maximum energy, minimal brain fog (ha ha, I know), chase as many sticks and squeak as many toys as possible, feel as loved as a being could feel, and enjoy the yummiest, healthiest food a dog could eat.
(Anne Fishbein / For The Times)
After learning about the pitfalls of grains and the limitations of kibble, which is often cooked at such a high temperature as to be stripped of all nutrients, I started making Rufus’ food myself. I am a regular shopper at Huntington Meats, and one day when I was buying marrow bones for Rufus, Jim Cascone, the owner, told me about an off-menu item: pet food! (Today there is a banner promoting their pet food.) He brought a bag of Rubik’s cube-size blocks of frozen meat, a blend of liver, kidney, spleen and hearts. From then on, as long as we were in Los Angeles, that — along with some custom additions — is what Rufus ate.
At first, I mixed the meat with a freeze-dried vegetable mix for dogs. Like astronaut or camping food, it came in a pouch — and it didn’t smell or look like any vegetable I’d want to eat! So I looked at the ingredients, and since sweet potatoes were first, I added those, steamed or baked, to the meat. I also added fresh broccoli because it’s my favorite vegetable, and it so happened to be one of Rufus’ favorite foods too. And I added ground beef to the mix, because it seemed luxurious; and bone meal after a veterinarian told me, “Even though dogs have been domesticated, their G.I. tracts haven’t changed.” They need to eat bones.
I made a big batch of this mixture and froze it in pint-size containers labeled Rufus Hash. Rufus loved it, and perhaps just as important: Every time I fed him I felt like I was giving him the best shot at a great and long life.
Despite my best efforts, Rufus died. He left this world after 14 years and five months on a glorious March day during peak jacaranda season, in 2021 in Mexico City, where we were living and loving life at the time.
And that’s the thing. No matter what we do, regardless of what we feed them or the integrative medicine (including, in Rufus’ case, reiki, homeopathy, electromagnetic therapy and acupuncture), despite the walks and the talks and the love that we give, they leave us. But first, they love us. And they live with us happy and healthy, and along the way, we show them that they are as important to us, oftentimes more important, than any two-leggeds in our midst. We treat them like the precious beings and the members of the family that they are. And that, tragically, is the most we can do.
Adiós, my little Rufino. May there be pigs’ ears and calves’ liver wherever you are. And may Rufus Hash be your legacy.

Archaeologists recently unearthed a remarkable 2,600-year-old tomb in Italy — a rare find untouched by looters.
The discovery was announced by the Italian Ministry of Culture on June 30. In a press release, the organization said the burial mound dated back to the late 7th century B.C., during the Orientalizing period of Italian history.
The tomb is part of the Caiolo Necropolis within the San Giuliano archaeological area, some 30 miles north of Rome. The site is famous for housing other ancient burials, including the Queen’s Tomb, the Tomb of the Stag and the Tomb of the Beds.

The newly discovered tomb has not been officially named, but authorities emphasized its significance – especially as it remained undisturbed for 2,600 years.
Its treasures included ceramic vessels still bearing paint, along with bronze ornaments.

“Once the slab sealing the chamber was removed, numerous vessels immediately became visible,” the ministry said in a statement translated from Italian to English.

“Some [were] fine painted ceramics, such as those near the entrance – deliberately placed according to a precise ritual performed before the tomb was sealed,” the statement added.
“Finding an untouched tomb is incredibly rare. That’s what makes this discovery so exceptional.”
“On the left-hand bed, a basin and several bronze ornamental elements belonging to the deceased remain in situ.”
The excavation was conducted under the supervision of the Superintendency of Viterbo and Southern Etruria, in partnership with Baylor University.

Supervising archaeologist Barbara Barbaro said that the necropolis contains over 500 tombs, though most were looted by either ancient people or modern robbers – but not the most recent one.

“A sealed context is crucial not only for preservation but also because it gives us a complete snapshot of life through the ritual of death,” she added.
“We’re thrilled to have rescued this material from those who would illegally profit from it.”
Reflecting on the emotional weight of the find, Barbaro compared the discovery of the tomb to “a bridge to our past, a doorway to our ancestors.”

“This is what happens when an untouched tomb is found – it becomes a collective event,” the archaeologist said. “The silence … the awe, the respect for those waiting behind that massive stone. The emotion.”

“We’re thrilled to have rescued this material from those who would illegally profit from it,” she added. “Now, it will tell a beautiful story for everyone.”

I got my Nintendo Switch 2, and my internal storage is already filling up with all my old games and saves! If you’re in the same boat, you may have also noticed you can’t just jam in the SD card from your original Switch and keep rocking. Instead, you’ll need a new microSD Express card.
This Express standard was introduced in late 2023, and it enables write speeds in the hundreds of megabytes, but until now the cards themselves were as rare as any devices that used the standard. As a result, the cards are few and far between, and they carry a significant price premium over the more common microSD cards. Before I get too caught up in the price and availability though, let’s just go over what the difference is between Express and standard microSD cards and what it means for your Switch 2.
Updated July 2025: We’ve clarified details about the release and usage of microSD Express, added hands-on testing with Samsung’s Nintendo-branded offering, and added speed-based benchmarks to supplement the practical testing.

As you might have guessed from the name, microSD Express cards are faster, but to understand exactly what that means, we need to break down what we mean by speed and how it’s measured and displayed on microSD cards.
Normal, non-express cards use three metrics with some overlap in performance. We’ve got an in-depth technical guide if you want to know more about the non-express cards, but I’ll give the short version here. There are three ranges: Speed Class, denoted with a C, UHS Speed Class, as marked by a U for Ultra High Speed Class, and Video Speed Class, with a V.
Regardless of how it’s displayed, the number indicates that the card is able to read and write at least that fast. For the Circle and the V, it’s a direct comparison, so a circle with a “10” in it has a 10MB/s sustained write speed. There are two U variants, 1 and 3, which correspond to 10MB/s and 30MB/s respectively. Cards are almost always compatible with slower devices, so you may see multiple symbols and numbers on each card.
The indicator for Express cards is, perhaps unsurprisingly, a stylized EX or E, sometimes with a number next to it. Once again, this represents the card’s sustained write speed, with officially supported ranges from 150MB/s up to 600MB/s. Remember that these are minimum speeds, so you may see manufacturers quote even higher numbers, but whether you’ll be able to support those speeds will depend on the device reading and writing to the card.
CLINT Eastwood zakoračio je u 96. godinu života, no prema njegovom izgledu i energiji to je teško zamisliti. Umjesto skupih dodataka prehrani, modernih tretmana ili rigoroznih dijeta, ovaj holivudski velikan oslanja se na jednostavne navike koje mu pomažu da ostane vitalan i u poznim godinama. Njegova tajna? Redovita meditacija, lagana tjelovježba i prehrana s niskim udjelom masti.
Eastwood se zdravijem načinu života okrenuo nakon što mu je otac preminuo od srčanih bolesti u relativno mladoj dobi. Tada je shvatio koliko je važno očuvati zdravlje, ne samo zbog dugovječnosti, nego i radi bistre glave i unutarnje ravnoteže. Iako je prošle godine, s 94 godine, režirao i producirao film, glumac ne usporava. Zdravlje mu je i dalje na prvom mjestu.
Meditacija kao svakodnevna praksa
Prema riječima njegova biografa Shawna Levyja, Eastwood se svakoga dana bavi transcendentalnom meditacijom, tehnikom koju koristi još od 1970-ih. Meditira dva puta dnevno, i to čak i dok snima filmove. Ova vrsta meditacije uključuje tiho ponavljanje mantre i pridonosi oslobađanju od stresa, poboljšava san i potiče opće psihofizičko blagostanje.
Levy opisuje Eastwooda kao čovjeka suprotnosti, dok je u filmovima poznat po čvrstim i grubim likovima, u stvarnosti je smiren, discipliniran i usredotočen na unutarnji mir.
Jednostavna prehrana i umjerena tjelovježba
Eastwood već desetljećima prakticira prehranu s malo masnoća, bogatu povrćem i nemasnim izvorima proteina poput piletine i ribe. Često jede brokulu i šparoge, a slatke napitke zamjenjuje običnom vodom. Jedno od njegovih načela je takozvano pravilo 90/10, u 90 posto slučajeva jede zdravo, a 10 posto ostavlja za povremene užitke.

Ne pretjeruje ni s treninzima. Umjesto iscrpljujućih vježbi, daje prednost golfu, šetnjama i vježbama niskog intenziteta. Kad diže utege, važnija mu je pravilna forma nego težina. Takav pristup omogućuje mu da održi mišićnu masu i vitalnost, bez nepotrebnog opterećenja.
Životna filozofija slična onoj iz plavih zona
Eastwoodov način života podsjeća na filozofiju dugovječnih zajednica koje žive u plavim zonama, dijelovima svijeta gdje ljudi izuzetno dugo i kvalitetno žive. To su Okinawa u Japanu, Ikaria u Grčkoj, Nicoya u Kostariki, Sardinija u Italiji te Loma Linda u Kaliforniji.
Stanovnici tih područja svakodnevno su fizički aktivni, hrane se uglavnom biljnim namirnicama, jedu umjereno i u skladu s osjećajem sitosti. Imaju jasan životni cilj, čuvaju obiteljske veze i njeguju bliske društvene odnose, sve ono što i Eastwood njeguje u svom životu.

PONEKAD je dovoljan samo jedan pogled da se rodi ljubav, čak i u životinjskom svijetu. Iako su ljubimci često oprezni prema nepoznatome, susret s drugim četveronožnim prijateljem može sve promijeniti. Jedno mahanje repom, jedan lavež i rađa se prijateljstvo za cijeli život. Upravo takav trenutak zabilježio je vlasnik labradora Finna, čiji je romantični pothvat postao viralan na Instagramu.
Video prikazuje prizor kao iz najljepše bajke: usred mora labrador Finn ugledao je na drugom brodu kuju Morgan i bez razmišljanja skočio u vodu kako bi doplivao do nje. Bila je to, kako se čini, kemija zbog koje se prelaze oceani.
Skok u more za ljubav
U opisu videa stoji: „Trenutak kada vaš pas otpliva do tuđeg broda kako bi upoznao svoju srodnu dušu.“ Čim je Finn primijetio Morgan, koja je jednako zainteresirano gledala u njegovom smjeru, odlučno je skočio u more i zaplivao prema njoj, uvjeren da je pronašao svoju ljubav. Video pokazuje kako su iskre frcale od prvog trenutka.

Sretan susret i osmijeh koji govori sve
Nakon što je stigao do drugog broda, Finn je nježno poljubio Morgan prije nego što se, uz pomoć njezinih vlasnika, popeo na palubu. Dva preslatka psa odmah su se počela igrati, a vrhunac je bio trenutak kada se Finn okrenuo prema svojim vlasnicima s najvećim osmijehom, kao da im poručuje da je pronašao sreću.
Internet oduševljen romantičnim psom
Korisnici društvenih mreža bili su oduševljeni Finnovom gestom. „Hvala ti, Finn, što si nas podsjetio da muškarac, ako nešto zaista želi, to će i učiniti“, napisala je jedna korisnica. Drugi su se u šali pitali je li se ikad vratio na svoj brod, dok je treća osoba duhovito dodala: „A ja u međuvremenu ne mogu dobiti ni poruku.“

Na svojem je Instagramu podijelila fotografije iz Turske, a posebnu su nam pozornost privukle one na kojima je nosila dugačku Phoebe Philo haljinu, malu smeđu torbicu istog brenda, jednostavne The Row japanke, Chimi sunčane naočale i Tiffany & Co. nakit.
Pronašli smo slične komade
Svojim je izdanjem Huntington-Whiteley pokazala koliko je važan odabir modnih dodataka. Odabirom profinjenih modnih dodataka jednostavnu je haljinu kratkih rukava pretvorila u glamurozan i dala mu novi sjaj.

The release date forMortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection, a compilation of classic entries from the iconic fighting game franchise, appears to have leaked ahead of an official announcement. According to multiple reports, the title will launch on 29 September 2025.
Notably, the leak stems from a listing that briefly appeared on the Xbox app, where users spotted the alleged release date over the weekend. Screenshots of the listing, circulated online and reported by IGN, show a 29 September release. However, some users noted a 30 September date, likely due to regional time zone differences.
Reportedly, the information first emerged on the r/GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit, where several commenters speculated that a formal confirmation might arrive during the Evo 2025 fighting game tournament, which is set to begin on 1 August in Las Vegas.
Currently, the Xbox listing in India still displays a date of 6 June 2025, the dayLegacy Kollection was announced at Sony’s State of Play presentation, suggesting placeholder data or inconsistencies in regional updates.
Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is being developed by Digital Eclipse and will include the arcade, home console, and handheld versions of the first fourMortal Kombat titles. The collection is also expected to offer online play functionality, along with supplementary content such as an interactive documentary, interviews with original developers, and detailed lore archives covering major characters.
The game is set to release across a wide range of platforms, including PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, Nintendo Switch, and the upcoming Switch 2.
Digital Eclipse has not officially confirmed the leaked release date at the time of writing.
Meanwhile, in other news, in a surprising yet welcome twist in the console wars, Helldivers 2, the explosive, cooperative third-person shooter developed by Arrowhead Game Studios will make its long-awaited debut on Xbox Series X|S on 26 August 2025.
The announcement, made via Xbox Wire and confirmed during a recent livestream, also highlights an unprecedented moment: Sony is publishing one of its major titles on a rival platform.
Bend It Like Beckham also stars Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Anupam Kher, Juliet Stevenson, Shaznay Lewis, and Archie Panjabi, with a screenplay written by the director along with Paul Mayeda Berges and Guljit Bindra. In an interview, the director said, “A lot has changed since the original film, but I think that people still don’t think that women should play football. There are people who still don’t take it seriously.” She also hopes to reunite the original cast.
In its order Sebi barred it from trading in the securities market but subsequently lifted the ban after the trading firm deposited ₹4843.5 crore as directed by the regulator
US-based trading firm Jane Street has sought an extension from the Securities and Exchange Board of India to respond to its interim order issued on July 3 when the Indian markets regulator had said it had manipulated prices through the use of Indian index derivatives.
In a statement the firm said, “We are engaging constructively with SEBI and have sought an extension to respond to the interim order issued on July 3.” The regulator had given it 21 days to respond to the allegations in the interim order.
Jane Street said in the statement it was “committed to conduct that upholds the integrity of India’s capital markets and contributes to their continued development.”
In its order SEBI barred it from trading in the securities market but subsequently lifted the ban after the trading firm deposited ₹4843.5 crore as directed by the regulator. SEBI said the activities of Jane Street would be closely monitored by the exchanges.
‘Sinister scheme’
The quantitative trading firm was accused by SEBI of perpetrating a ‘sinister scheme’ and manipulating prices in its favour and led to small investors trading at ‘unfavourable and misleading prices.’
According to reports, the firm had said in an internal email to its employees that it would challenge the order and has also appointed lawyers to advise it.
SEBI’s investigations showed that the manipulative trading activity occurred on the Nifty Bank index. The regulator is understood to be investigating whether it manipulated prices on the BSE derivatives market as well.

GREAT UNIFIER: Commuters of all hues ride the metro

SUDHAKARA JAIN
When I visit Mumbai, I often take the local train from Churchgate station to Borivali. The main objective is to observe the people on the train. In my home-town of Bengaluru, as well, I have begun travelling by metro quite often, but mostly because the metro takes me to my destination far quicker than an Uber cab can — particularly given the many choked roads of this otherwise lovely garden city. But having got onto the metro, here too I keep looking at people.
In the past two months, these occasional travels by local train and metro have thrown up several interesting insights. I have jotted down over 25 observations during this period. Here are five of them.
90 per cent of the people are on their mobiles constantly — a vast majority are watching videos on social media.
60 per cent of the people wear wrist watches, primarily metal analogue watches. I see far fewer wearables on wrists now, compared with two years ago.
Many more young and middle-aged men are wearing colourful shirts, compared to earlier years (including me).
On my last local train ride in Mumbai, virtually no one was smiling, perhaps after a long and tiring day at work. On the metro in Bengaluru, on the other hand, I inevitably see many more smiles.
Lots of people in Mumbai local trains were carrying lunchboxes, but very few did in Bengaluru.
Each of these ‘public transport’ observations can potentially lead to good marketing insights. For instance, probing why fewer people are wearing wearables now, and what this tells us about changing attitudes to digital health and wellness. Or why middle-aged men are suddenly wearing floral shirts, and what this tells us about ageing and urban masculinity.
Living laboratory
This leads me to an interesting point. Public transport — whether local train, metro or bus — is one of the best platforms for observing consumers and their real-time, in-situ behaviour. Yet, many marketers who choose to travel exclusively by private vehicles or Uber cabs or auto-rickshaws miss out on this living laboratory that pulses with consumer trends every single day.
If you are a marketer or a student of the consumer universe, here are a few reasons why you should ditch your private vehicle and consider travelling by public transport at least occasionally.
Local trains, metros and buses bring together many different segments of society. Affluent office-goers, young students, retail employees, working women, middle-class families — people from virtually every large consumer segment use local transport, particularly in large cities. This helps you break away from the ivory tower of your office or apartment complex, where you are likely to interact primarily with people from your own demographic segment.
With little effort, you can observe what people are wearing or viewing, and often also overhear snatches of conversation. You can see which shopping bags they are carrying, what snacks they are munching on, and what hairstyle or jewellery they are sporting. Sometimes, just the expression on their face speaks volumes. These and other observations can create trend lines in your mind, or stoke your curiosity to find out more.
If you are a little more adventurous, you can strike up engaging and relevant conversations with co-travellers. I do this quite often, and I find that many people (though not all) are happy to chat. For instance, during one metro ride in Bengaluru, I overheard two young people speaking about garments they recently bought at Zudio and Max stores. I spoke to them about why they shopped at each of these stores and the comparative benefits. I came away with a couple of nice insights.
While it is important not to generalise or reach firm conclusions from these assorted observations or conversations, what I have realised is that they can spark new thoughts, questions or hypotheses, which can, in turn, lead to meaningful and actionable ideas.
For all these reasons, I would urge marketers to hop onto metros or buses every now and then. This is one of the best and easiest ways of keeping consumers in your sight.

My most vivid food memories involve overcooked spaghetti in a wooden bowl, and my grandmother Phyllis.
For decades, my grandmother’s wooden bowls sat stacked in the cabinet next to the refrigerator in her old, two-story home in Gardena. They followed her to her retirement home in Palm Desert, which she lovingly referred to as “toe-tag city.” She was part of the volunteer wellness-check committee that called other residents to make sure they were still breathing.
The bowls were lopsided and smooth, burnished and misshapen by countless years of scraping Lipton onion dip and spaghetti off the sides.
When she died on July 17 at the age of 91, the first memories that came to mind involved spaghetti in those wooden bowls, and all the meals and laughs we shared together.
They were not the expensive cherry wood, olive wood or acacia you might find at Crate & Barrel. The wood was thin, pressed and woven — the chicken nugget equivalent of a piece of dinnerware.
My grandmother bought them at a restaurant supply store in Los Angeles almost 40 years ago. An internet search for “cheap wooden bowls” produces images of something similar.
During my childhood summers, I spent most of my days lounging on a fraying towel on a patch of lumpy grass in my grandparents’ backyard, eating out of one of those wooden bowls.
My too-long hair was always damp from the aboveground pool where my late grandfather, Warner, taught me how to swim. “You’re my favorite,” he would say. He said that to all the grandkids.

Phyllis and Warner were Jewish but never kept kosher. She used to boast that her grandfather opened the first kosher butcher shop on Pico Boulevard, though she could never remember the name or the year.
There was always bacon in the house. She used a plastic tray to microwave the bacon until it was crisp and perfect. And her most famous dishes involved both meat and cheese in those wooden bowls.
The sound and sensation of my bent fork against the wood is palpable even now. My grandmother’s spaghetti was always cooked two minutes past al dente. I squeezed the noodles between my tongue and front teeth and counted how many I could eat without chewing. The sensation was simply exquisite.
The meat sauce, slightly salty and grainy, was always seasoned with Lawry’s spaghetti mix from a paper pouch. The ground beef was pulverized until it became one with the canned crushed tomatoes. My grandmother slid the emerald green cylinder of Parmesan across the table and never questioned the Everest-sized mountain I managed to shake into the bowl.

I used to study the grooves and nicks in the bowls and wondered what would happen if I accidentally ate wood. Is there a tiny tree growing in my stomach right now?
Armed with a head full of dreams, a slender grasp on reality and the high of a new Hello Kitty backpack for the fast-approaching fall, I happily slurped my noodles, unburdened by the anxiety of the 1/8th-life crisis that so often crept into my thoughts and threatened to ruin a good meal. But never this meal.
The bowls were a promise, that at least for the time it took to eat whatever filled them, things would be just fine. I have my grandmother to thank for this, and for so many of my fondest memories, food quirks and preferences.
It’s thanks to Phyllis Harris that I prefer the Lipton onion soup mix dip to anything whipped up in a restaurant kitchen. And that I know how to host everything from a small gathering to a proper rager. She’s the reason my friends ask me to make latkes for every Hanukkah party. Her holiday gatherings were legendary, with a full spread of golden latkes, brisket, bagels, lox and white fish. And there was always a bowl of pitted black olives. My cousins and I used to slide an olive onto each finger and pop them into our mouths while we ran around the house.

(Jenn Harris / Los Angeles Times)
My grandmother was the master of something called the schmutz platter. I can’t recall which one of us came up with the name, but I suspect it was me. It was more of a table-wide spread than an actual platter, comprising various deli cold cuts, leaves of romaine lettuce, dill pickle chips, black olives, sliced cheese (always havarti and usually provolone), a wooden bowl of tuna salad, another of potato salad, sliced rye bread and challah, ramekins of mayonnaise and mustard. While grandma made her own tuna salad and potato salad, both studded with bits of hardboiled egg, the coleslaw was only ever from Kentucky Fried Chicken.
“KFC or bust,” she would say. And she meant it.
I brought countless acquaintances out to the desert to visit, and each time, a schmutz platter would be waiting on the dining room table when we arrived. But even when it was just me, the platter was there.
After living in Los Angeles for most of her life, grandma was used to the depth and breadth of cuisines in the city. Her move to Palm Desert 20 years ago was accompanied by a bit of culinary shock, when she realized there were no Asian markets nearby and the local dim sum restaurant wasn’t exactly local or actual dim sum. Each trip to visit came with a request to bring her a loaf of double-baked rye bread from Langer’s Deli and an order or two of siu mai.
The desert being the desert, we used to brave the 30-second walk to her car in the 110-degree heat to drive to the Rite Aid down the street for ice cream. She used to call the pharmacy waiting area an “ice cream cafe,” and we sat in the blood pressure chairs while we licked our cones. I was only ever able to convince her to order the Chocolate Malted Krunch (the best flavor) once. Grandma only had eyes for rainbow sherbet.

While we sat in the ice cream cafe, she asked about work and my love life, but never in a prying way. She listened intently and never judged, though I gave her plenty to question. By the time I made it to the bottom of my cone, I felt like there was at least one person in the world who understood me.
As much as grandma loved to host company, with her weekly card games and mahjong, she lived for a night out. She had her hair done regularly into a golden coiffed pouf. Her nails were always painted. I don’t think I ever saw her leave the house, let alone her bedroom, without lipstick. There were dresses for the grocery store, dresses for the mall, lunch with the girls and dinner out. We often staged mini fashion shows to compare outfits.
Sullivan’s, a lively chain steakhouse on the second floor of the El Paseo shopping center in Palm Desert, was our favorite place. She went so often that she had a regular table. She always enjoyed a glass of red wine. I sipped a martini. And we both ordered the crispy Shanghai calamari. This was the height of luxury and culinary achievement for grandma. A plate of battered and fried squid from Point Judith, R.I., coated in a sweet chili glaze with cherry peppers, scallions and sesame seeds.

The rounds of squid were always tender, dredged in a light, crisp, shaggy coating. The orange, chile-flecked sauce was sticky and sweet, similar to the condiment typically served with Thai barbecue chicken. I can see her licking the sauce from her fingers as I type this.
One of the last great meals we shared was at Alice B., Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger’s restaurant at the Living Out LGBTQ+ community in Palm Springs. Feniger was there that evening and graciously took us on a small tour of the property before steering us toward an order of executive chef Lance Velasquez’s excellent biscuits. My grandmother, who was a fan of Feniger’s for years, was elated at meeting the chef. If the TV was on at grandma’s house, it was tuned to the Food Network.
We marveled at the texture of the biscuits, equal parts crunch and fluff. We finished every drop of the honey and butter. Grandma and I shared a love of fried chicken and discussed the restaurant’s chicken cutlet for much of the drive home.

She grew teary-eyed as we finished dinner. Grandma was someone who treated each meal, whether it was out or a schmutz platter at home, like it was something to be savored and appreciated, grateful for every moment we got to spend together.
I know that with time, this pang in my chest will dull, but I’m confident that these memories will stay vivid. I can summon the smell of her kitchen. The warmth of her embrace. The sound of her laughter and the way it filled a room. I can taste her spaghetti and feel the grooves of the wooden bowls. Thank you, Grandma, for showing me just how delicious this life can be.
Over its several decades, the show’s setting has always been both realistic and idealistic. And it has evolved, much like the New York City streets that inspired it.
Thankfully and unfortunately, there is a lot of talk surrounding bullying these days. I run the risk of very much aging myself when I say this, but, back in my day, conversations about dealing with bullies had only just begun to become more prominent. And on top of that, social media was nothing like it is today, so cyberbullying was not as pervasive.
I don’t have all of the answers for handling bullying, but I experienced it all through grade school, so I can at least offer you some insights.
When someone picks on you, it almost always has nothing to do with you. Often, they are taking their own insecurities, frustrations, and identity crises out on someone else in an effort to not deal with their emotions. It doesn’t make their words or antics sting any less. But I hope you remember their words are reflections of them, not you.
I also believe in the power of fighting back with words and killing people with kindness. If someone is picking on you, don’t let them steamroll you, but also be sure not to stoop to their level. Being the bigger person can be exhausting, but it can also make a huge difference in your life and theirs by highlighting the power of kindness. The Bible even asserts this in Ephesians 4:29, which says, “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.”
When it comes to cyberbullying, utilize the “block” feature. It may seem “uncool” to block the mean or cool kids, but your peace is exponentially more important than some arbitrary idea of coolness. Plus, school is temporal. There’s a finite amount of time you’ll be there. When you’re handed that diploma after strutting across that stage, you don’t ever have to see your classmates again if you don’t want to.
So, I guess this is a really long answer just to say: If you’re being bullied, stand up for yourself, try your best to rise above it, and tell an adult if you need help. And remember, this, too, shall pass.

A student was enjoying a sunset stroll on a beach in La Jolla, California, when she came across something very rare.
Anya Stajner, a Ph.D. student at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography, spotted a tiny, bright purple shell — and recognized its significance.
Stajner identified the rare species of pelagic sea snail also known as Janthina.
ANCIENT ‘STICK FIGURES’ ON BEACH ONCE AGAIN VISIBLE AT TOURIST DESTINATION
A Scripps Institution of Oceanography spokesperson told Fox News Digital, “These marine snails are known for their vibrant purple shells and their ability to float at the ocean’s surface using their natural ‘bubble raft.’”
The spokesperson added, “Janthina are typically found in subtropical to tropical seas, and their stranding along the Southern California coast is often linked to warmer offshore waters flowing toward the shore.”

The snail shells have angled whorls and slightly extended apex, according to the World Register of Marine Species.

Janthina protect themselves with a “camouflage strategy” known as countershading.
They point their front side to the sky while floating, appearing in a darker color to blend in, according to the Texas Saltwater Fishing Magazine (TSFM).

“They’re darker on the top so that a sea bird flying above that might want to eat the Janthina couldn’t see it, and they’re a lighter purple below so that a fish looking up from below might have a harder time spotting,” said Stajner, according to FOX 5.
The snails can reach about 1.5 inches in height and, while safe to pick up, they can secrete a purple ink that can leave a stain.

La Jolla resident Brooks Whitney had never heard of Janthina, according to FOX 5.
“I’ve heard of them … I’ve seen them either on the news or social media. It is cool, but it also makes me wonder why they’re showing up,” Whitney told FOX 5.

Stajner believes the snails are washing up on shore due to a patch of warmer water offshore that’s made its way into the cove, having not been spotted on San Diego beaches since 2015.

“Which is when we had both an El Niño event and a warm blob of water that sort of combined, and it was this massive marine heat wave,” said Stajner.

Honorable Mentions
We have tested several other entrants to this nascent category, some good, some bad, and some in between. Here is the lowdown on some of your smart ring alternatives.

Movano Evie Ring for $269: When it first came out, the Movano Evie Ring (4/10, WIRED Review) was touted as the world’s first fitness tracker designed specifically for women. I was very excited! It was recently updated to integrate with Apple Health (in the iOS version of the app) and you can now see your cycle day on your home page, manually log your basal body temperature, and manually add workouts. However, these new features are pretty underbaked compared to those offered by its competitors. Now that Oura and the Galaxy Ring can track periods so accurately, its time may have passed. But it’s relatively affordable, has no subscription fee, and has a blood oxygen sensor, so that’s kind of nice. —Adrienne So
RingConn Gen 2 for $359: Despite a price increase over Gen 1 below, this is still a relatively affordable, subscription-free smart ring. RingConn retained the distinctive squared-off design, but this second-generation ring brought major improvements to sleep tracking (including sleep apnea detection), better battery life, and is very slightly slimmer and lighter. I found basic sleep and health monitoring solid (sleep is much more accurate than the first generation), but workout tracking is still a major weakness. Despite more available exercise types, you must manually trigger workout tracking, and it struggles with accuracy at higher heart rates.
RingConn Smart Ring for $179: Now heavily discounted, the original Ringconn (6/10, WIRED Review) is worth considering. A slightly squared-off design with beveled edges gives it a unique look, the health and sleep tracking work well, and it lasts four or five days between charges. It also comes with a handy battery case (enough for several charges on the go). However, I had trouble with data syncing, the app lacked proper workout tracking, and the data was sometimes inaccurate, though the app seems to be steadily improving through updates.
Luna Smart Ring for $300: The Luna smart ring is a new titanium smart ring with five days of battery life that purports to offer many new AI features, like menstrual health coaching and nutrition advice, in addition to by-now-standard blood oxygen and skin temperature measurements for cycle tracking. However, it would not stay connected to the app and—I’m sorry for how dumb this sounds—it doesn’t sit on the charger well, so I constantly kept finding it uncharged, which was extremely irritating. —Adrienne So
Amazfit Helio Ring for $200: Purveyor of affordable fitness trackers like the Amazfit Active 2, I expected a competitive smart ring from Amazfit, but the Helio (4/10, WIRED Review) is badly out of shape. I like the subtly textured bronze finish, but it is the only color you get. Sizes are also limited to 8, 10, or 12 for now (sizes 7 to 13 are coming). While it has similar capabilities to the smart rings above, the Helio was sometimes hopelessly inaccurate, with heart rate measurements wildly out of step with other trackers. It lacks automatic workout-tracking, battery life averaged three days for me, and the Helio frequently disconnected from the busy and confusing Zepp app. You don’t need a subscription, but there is Aura AI ($70/year) for sleep insights and content or Fitness ($30/year), which includes an AI coach. They are expensive and confusing. (Why have two separate subscriptions?) The Helio works much better in conjunction with a smartwatch (I tried it with the Amazfit Cheetah Pro), as it can merge the data, but as a stand-alone device, it is impossible to recommend.
How Do I Choose the Right Smart Ring Size?
Some smart rings come in standard sizes, but there is variation, and half sizes are rare, so it’s worth taking some time to ensure you get the correct ring size. Most manufacturers will send you a free sizing kit, enabling you to wear a dummy ring for 24 hours. (You may have to buy the ring directly from the manufacturer to get this kit for free.) You should absolutely do this. Bear in mind that your fingers swell and shrink throughout the day. Your smart ring should be snug to enable the sensors to measure accurately, but you will have to remove it regularly to charge, so you don’t want too tight a fit.
Which Finger Should I Wear My Smart Ring On?
You can wear your smart ring on any finger, but most manufacturers recommend wearing it on your index finger, though the middle or ring finger can also work. These three fingers all have large blood vessels for more accurate pulse monitoring. What’s really important is that the ring fits tightly and securely around the base of your chosen finger, so if you have a big knuckle and a narrower finger base (more common with the middle or ring finger), this can be tricky. I recommend wearing it on the index finger of your less dominant hand because I found wearing it on my right index finger, as a right-handed person, led to more damage on the ring and scrapes on some things I touched.
Which Smart Ring Finish or Color Is Best?
All the smart rings we tested combined tough titanium with a sensor array on the inside, but the coatings and colors vary. If you are hard on rings, a silver or gold finish will likely suit you best, as there is less risk of damage. My Oura and Ultrahuman rings with black finishes have visible scratches and chips after a few months. The Oura and Amazfit rings have tiny dimples to help you align the sensors. While I prefer the smooth finish of the Ultrahuman, I suspect correct placement aids accuracy enormously.
How Do I Care for My Smart Ring?
Most smart rings are durable, but if you want to avoid damage, you should remove your ring when working with tools, weight lifting, washing pots and pans, or even cleaning the sink. If your ring is likely to rub against a surface, take it off. I found this was a bigger problem wearing a ring on my index finger than with the middle or ring finger. I scratched the Oura and Ultrahuman rings when gardening, moving boxes, and using a dumbbell. Titanium is also tough enough to damage surfaces in your home. I gouged the porcelain of my sink and marked the inside of a mug with the angular Ringconn. All the smart rings we tested are water resistant, so you can swim or shower without taking them off.
How Often Do I Need to Charge My Smart Ring?

Smart rings come with a charger and cable, but you will generally have to provide your own wall adapter. From dead, they take anywhere from an hour and a half to three hours to fully charge, but you should avoid letting the battery run down completely, or you run the risk of losing health data. We tested the smart rings above with all the bells and whistles turned on, so our battery life estimates are lower than the manufacturer’s claims.
What Smart Ring Features Should I Look For?
Most smart rings will track your sleep, heart rate, and temperature. If you want to keep an eye on your sleep and get health insights unobtrusively and comfortably, smart rings are ideal. Fitness tracking varies, with most smart rings offering basic step counts and movement, some offering manual workout tracking, and others offering automatic workout recognition. But you can expect more depth and accuracy from a traditional fitness tracker or smartwatch. Combining a smart ring with an Apple Watch or Fitbit makes for a seamless experience, allowing you to take off the watch and let it charge at night without gaps in your tracking.
Smart Rings or Smart Watches?
In the past few years, we’ve fielded many questions about why someone would get a smart ring instead of, or in addition to, a regular fitness tracker. Here are a few reasons why you might consider it:
Better battery life. A smart ring is smaller and usually (if not always) has better battery life. It’s a helpful addition to your repertoire if you hate missing a couple hundred, or a thousand, steps while you’re charging your smartwatch every day.
Sleep tracking. It’s no coincidence that our favorite sleep tracker is a small, unobtrusive ring. Maybe you’re tired of having your enormous Apple Watch Ultra smack you in the face every time you turn over. (Or maybe you’re charging it instead!)
Cycle tracking. Many watches and fitness trackers now feature a skin temperature sensor that’s sensitive enough to detect when you’re sick or drinking alcohol. However, in Adrienne’s testing so far, only the Samsung Galaxy Ring and the Oura have been accurate enough to track her menstrual cycle.
Finally, fashion. Watches are a statement and a status symbol; a smartwatch often says nothing more about your preferences and choices besides “I don’t like missing meetings.” Almost everyone we know who has bought a smart ring has done so because they have a hand-me-down Cartier Tank, or a fun Casio or Swatch, that they don’t want to give up. If this is you, good for you! And get a ring!
We have been wearing smart rings continuously for several years (sometimes two or three at a time), so we have a good handle on what makes a smart ring worth buying. Every smart ring we test has been worn for at least a month, usually longer, and we always compare its tracking data against our top pick (Oura) and with other smartwatches and fitness trackers (Apple Watch).

CHIA sjemenke već su godinama na popisu najpopularnijih supernamirnica. Dodajemo ih u pudinge, smoothieje i zobene pahuljice jer znamo da su bogate vlaknima, omega-3 masnim kiselinama i antioksidansima. No, iako su zdrave, chia sjemenke mogu utjecati na djelovanje nekih lijekova. U nekim slučajevima mogu pojačati učinak terapije više nego što je preporučljivo – osobito ako imate problema s tlakom, šećerom u krvi ili ste na lijekovima za razrjeđivanje krvi.
Mogu dodatno sniziti tlak
Chia sjemenke prirodno djeluju na snižavanje krvnog tlaka zahvaljujući spojevima koji oponašaju učinak ACE inhibitora – vrste lijekova koji se koriste za regulaciju hipertenzije. Problem nastaje kad chia sjemenke unosite svakodnevno, a pritom već uzimate lijekove za tlak. Kombinacija može dovesti do preniskog tlaka, vrtoglavica, umora i drugih nuspojava.
Ako pijete lijekove za razrjeđivanje krvi, budite posebno pažljivi
Zbog svojih antitrombocitnih svojstava, chia može spriječiti stvaranje krvnih ugrušaka. Iako to zvuči korisno, kod ljudi koji su već na antikoagulansima ili antitrombocitnim lijekovima, chia može dodatno povećati rizik od krvarenja.
“Ako uzimate lijekove za razrjeđivanje krvi, budite oprezni s chia sjemenkama,” upozorava farmaceut Ronald Smith.
Snižavaju šećer, ali mogu pojačati učinak inzulina
Zbog visoke količine vlakana, chia usporava probavu i pomaže stabilizaciji šećera u krvi. Istraživanja pokazuju da može ublažiti nagle skokove glukoze nakon obroka, što je korisno osobama s dijabetesom. No ako ste na inzulinu ili oralnim antidijabeticima, chia može pojačati učinak lijekova i dovesti do hipoglikemije – naglog pada šećera u krvi.
“Ako prvi put uvodite chia u prehranu, a koristite inzulin, razgovarajte s liječnikom jer možda treba prilagoditi dozu,” kaže dr. Robert Graham, internist i specijalist integrativne medicine.

Vlakna mogu usporiti apsorpciju lijekova
Osim što utječu na fiziološke procese, chia sjemenke mogu utjecati i na apsorpciju lijekova u crijevima. Zbog visokog udjela vlakana, lijekovi koji se uzimaju oralno mogu se sporije ili slabije apsorbirati, posebno ako redovito jedete veće količine chia sjemenki.
Kako sigurno konzumirati chia sjemenke ako ste na terapiji
Ako uzimate lijekove za tlak, dijabetes ili razrjeđivanje krvi, ne znači da morate izbaciti chia sjemenke iz prehrane. Ali važno je ne uvoditi namirnicu naglo i bez savjeta liječnika. Stručnjaci savjetuju da počnete s malim količinama – pola žlice dnevno – i da pratite kako tijelo reagira.
Također, ako ih jedete redovito, preporuka je da razmaknete obrok od vremena kada uzimate lijekove, kako ne bi došlo do smanjene apsorpcije.
Chia sjemenke su bogate zdravim mastima, vlaknima i antioksidansima i definitivno imaju svoje mjesto u zdravoj prehrani. No, kao i s mnogim stvarima, i ovdje vrijedi pravilo – ništa bez mjere i savjeta stručnjaka. Ako ste na terapiji za tlak, dijabetes ili koristite lijekove za razrjeđivanje krvi, chia sjemenke mogu pojačati učinak tih lijekova, što ponekad može biti opasno.
Prije nego što ih uključite u svakodnevnu rutinu, posavjetujte se s liječnikom ili ljekarnikom, pogotovo ako ih do sada niste jeli. Zdravlje se ne nalazi samo u superhrani, već u ravnoteži – i dobrom planiranju.

Matcha green tea has taken social media by storm, with people raving about benefits, from steady energy boosts to potent antioxidants. A fresh and earthy alternative to coffee, the matcha latte is the drink of choice for Gen Zs and millennials. However, there’s another drink that has taken over the internet – Hojicha. We all know and love matchas, but has it had its time? We have sipped, posted and made it ourselves, but it appears to make room for the caffeine roaster. Japan’s cherished roasted green tea is captivating taste buds and wellness enthusiasts worldwide with its comforting, toasty aroma. So, how to prepare the summer’s viral beverage at home? Let’s understand more about the warm, nutty herbal tea. Why Is Everyone Obsessed With Matcha? Does It Contain Caffeine? Health Benefits and Other Details About the ‘Green’ Beverage.
What Is Hojicha?
Hojicha is a type of Japanese green tea that is unique because it is roasted, unlike most steamed green teas. Made from bancha, sencha, or kukicha leaves, hojicha is roasted at high temperatures, giving it a distinct toasty aroma, reddish-brown colour, and a mild, slightly nutty flavour with slight bitterness. It contains less caffeine than other green teas, making it a popular evening drink in Japan. Hojicha can be enjoyed hot or cold, and it’s also used in desserts, lattes, and ice cream. Its smooth taste and low astringency make it a soothing and comforting tea option. Matcha Recipes: How to Make Delicious Matcha Drinks at Home? Easy Recipe Ideas For a Healthier, Tastier and Refreshing Everyday Boost.
Hojicha Recipes
The nutty, sweet vibe of Hojicha feels like a calming hug and an energy boost all in one sip. The drink is popping up everywhere on social media, and beverage lovers are obsessed! In addition, Hojicha offers a range of health benefits that make it a distinguished choice among health-conscious individuals.

How To Make the Creamy Iced Houjicha Latte?
Health Benefits of Hojicha
Low in Caffeine
Hojicha has significantly less caffeine than other green teas because it’s made from mature leaves and stems, and roasting reduces caffeine content.
Rich in Antioxidants
Though roasting slightly reduces catechins (an antioxidant), hojicha still contains polyphenols that help fight free radicals and reduce inflammation.
Digestive Aid
The warmth and mild nature of hojicha can help soothe the digestive system, making it a good post-meal drink.
Calming Effects
It contains L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes relaxation without drowsiness, and is especially effective due to the low caffeine content.
Supports Heart Health
Regularly consuming green teas like hojicha may help improve blood circulation and reduce bad cholesterol (LDL).
Weight Management
Hojicha may support metabolism and fat oxidation, though it’s milder than matcha.
Diving deeper into Hojicha’s benefits reveals a world of wellness opportunities beyond its toasty aroma. It’s a gentle, flavorful tea that supports relaxation, digestion, and overall wellness.

JEDAN simpatični bigl postao je viralan na TikToku nakon što ga je susjed zatekao tijekom provale. Korisnik TikToka Nathan Timmel prije četiri dana je podijelio snimku na kojoj možemo vidjeti kakav ga je prizor dočekao dok se probudio jednog dana.
Bigl njegovog susjeda “provalio” je u kuću kroz vrata za pse kako bi ukrao plišanu igračku njegovog psa. Tijekom krađe se malo mučio jer je igračka bila prevelika za pseća vrata, a u jednom trenutku bacio je pogled na susjeda jer ga je omeo njegov smijeh. Simpatični lopov na kraju je uspio progurati igračku kroz vrata i vratio se svojoj kući.

Komentari na društvenim mrežama jednoglasno su podržali snalažljivog bigla. “Najbolji lopov ikad, treba mu glazba iz Nemoguće misije”, “Presmiješno mi je kako te pogledao kad si se počeo smijati”, “Baš me zanima što su susjedi mislili kada su vidjeli novu igračku”, “Presmiješan je”, pisali su gledatelji u komentarima.

NOVI Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, unatoč svom iznimno tankom dizajnu, uspješno je preživio jedan od najpoznatijih i najbrutalnijih testova izdržljivosti na internetu. Poznati tech youtuber Zack Nelson s kanala JerryRigEverything podvrgnuo je najnoviji Samsungov preklopni uređaj nizu ekstremnih ispitivanja, a rezultati su iznenadili mnoge.
Test savijanja: Neočekivana čvrstoća
Iako su mnogi, uključujući i samog Nelsona, očekivali da će se ultratanki Z Fold 7 slomiti pod pritiskom, dogodilo se suprotno. Uređaj ne samo da je izdržao snažan pokušaj savijanja, već je iz testa izašao bez ikakvih oštećenja na unutarnjem zaslonu ili kućištu.
Čak je i redizajnirana šarka ostala potpuno netaknuta. Nelson je Samsungov inženjering opisao kao “doslovnu crnu magiju”, ističući kako je zadržavanje pune funkcionalnosti nakon takvog pritiska nevjerojatan podvig za ovako tanak i lagan telefon.
Otpornost na prašinu i dugovječnost
Osim testa savijanja, Galaxy Z Fold 7 impresionirao je i otpornošću na prašinu. Unatoč službenoj IP48 ocjeni, koja ne jamči potpunu zaštitu od prašine, telefon je nakon izlaganja značajnoj količini prljavštine i krhotina nastavio raditi bez problema, a šarka je ostala glatka.
Samsung je ranije potvrdio da je uređaj certificiran za čak 500.000 preklapanja, što odgovara korištenju od otprilike 150 otvaranja i zatvaranja dnevno tijekom gotovo deset godina, prenosi Android Authority.

Ahilova peta: Unutarnji zaslon
Ipak, nije sve savršeno. Dok je vanjski zaslon, zaštićen Gorilla Glass Victus 2 staklom, pokazao zavidnu otpornost na ogrebotine, unutarnji, fleksibilni zaslon ostaje osjetljiv. Testovi su pokazali da se on počinje grebati već na razini 2, što znači da ga čak i jači pritisak noktom može oštetiti. Vjerojatno je to razlog zašto Samsung nudi jednu besplatnu zamjenu zaštitne folije unutar prve godine korištenja.
Sve u svemu, Galaxy Z Fold 7 predstavlja prekretnicu za Samsung. Uspješno spajajući najtanji dizajn na tržištu s robusnošću koja može preživjeti i najteže testove, tvrtka postavlja nove standarde i redefinira očekivanja korisnika od modernih preklopnih pametnih telefona.
Tko je JerryRigEverything?
Kao što smo već naveli, ovaj test je napravio Zack Nelson, poznatiji kao JerryRigEverything – jedan od najpoznatijih tech YouTubera na svijetu kad je riječ o testiranju izdržljivosti uređaja. Njegov kanal prati više od devet milijuna ljudi, a proslavio se brutalno iskrenim pristupom: grebe, savija i rastavlja telefone kako bi otkrio jesu li zaista vrijedni svoje cijene.
Testirao je doslovno sve – od iPhonea, Samsung Galaxy modela, Google Pixela i OnePlusa, do kineskih brendova poput Xiaomija i realmea, pa čak i preklopnih i eksperimentalnih uređaja. Nije mu stran ni luksuzni segment: u njegovim rukama završili su i uređaji od titana, keramike ili s pozlatom.
Njegovi testovi često postanu referenca za sve koji žele znati koliko je neki uređaj stvarno izdržljiv, a ne samo lijep na prvi pogled. Upravo zato, kad Zack kaže da je nešto “crna magija”, to ima težinu – jer ako je netko navikao vidjeti uređaje kako pucaju pod pritiskom, onda je to on.

SHANGHAI, – China’s artificial intelligence companies have announced two new industry alliances, aiming to develop a domestic ecosystem to reduce dependence on foreign tech as they seek to cope with U.S. export restrictions on advanced Nvidia chipsets.
The announcements were timed to coincide with the three-day World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai ending on Monday.
The conference also showcased a slew of new products, such as an AI computing system from Huawei that experts believe rivals Nvidia’s most advanced offering, as well as consumer-friendly products such as several kinds of digital AI glasses.
The “Model-Chip Ecosystem Innovation Alliance” brings together Chinese developers of large language models and AI chip manufacturers.
“This is an innovative ecosystem that connects the complete technology chain from chips to models to infrastructure,” said Zhao Lidong, CEO of Enflame, one of the participating chipmakers.
Other manufacturers of graphics processing units in the alliance include Huawei, Biren, and Moore Threads, which have been hit by U.S. sanctions that block them from purchasing advanced tech made with U.S. know-how. The alliance was announced by StepFun, an LLM developer.
A second alliance, the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce AI Committee, aims to “promote the deep integration of AI technology and industrial transformation.”
Participants include SenseTime, also sanctioned by the U.S. and which has pivoted from facial recognition technology to LLMs. Others are StepFun and another LLM developer, MiniMax, as well as chipmakers Metax and Iluvatar CoreX.
One of the most talked about products at the conference was Huawei’s CloudMatrix 384 which incorporates 384 of its latest 910C chips and outperforms Nvidia’s GB200 NVL72 on some metrics, according to U.S. research firm SemiAnalysis.
Huawei’s system design capabilities have meant that it has been able to use more chips and system-level innovations to compensate for weaker individual chip performance, SemiAnalysis said.
At least six other Chinese computing firms showcased similar “clustering” chip technology. Metax demonstrated an AI supernode featuring 128 C550 chips designed to support large-scale liquid-cooled data centre requirements.
Other events included Tencent’s unveiling of its open-source Hunyuan3D World Model 1.0, which the company said enables users to generate interactive 3D environments through text or image prompts.
Baidu announced what it said was next-generation “digital human” technology that helps businesses to create virtual livestreamers. It features “cloning technology” that can replicate a human’s voice, tone, and body language from just 10 minutes of sample footage.
Alibaba was among those announcing AI glasses. Its Quark AI Glasses are powered by its Qwen AI model and are due to be released in China by the end of 2025. They will allow users to access the tech giant’s map service for easy navigating and to use Alipay by scanning QR codes with voice commands.

Processed foods typically mention saturated and transfat per serving. But how will you know whether, say, 20 gram of saturated fat per 100 gram serving is too much? You could face a similar situation with investment products. In this article, we discuss whether asset management companies (AMCs) can disclose risk associated with their mutual funds as a relatable metric.
Relatable risk
What if we are informed that burning fat from consuming ice cream would require us to walk, say, five kilometers at a speed of six kilometers per hour? That way, we can relate to the effort needed to keep good health and yet enjoy such food.
Can we apply a similar argument to investment products?
There are several issues to consider. For one, individuals have different life goals and different time horizons for the same goal. For another, the impact of a shortfall in a portfolio at the end of the time horizon may be different for everyone. Therefore, presenting a standardised set of information could be challenging when you are investing to achieve a life goal.
Consider large-cap active funds. The riskometer categorises such funds as high risk. But what does that mean when you are investing to finance your child’s college education or making down payment for a house? Note that being conservative and not taking risk could also lead to failure of life goals, unless you significantly increase your savings. It will be easier if AMCs disclose a standardised metric in relation to your goal. Suppose you assume that a fund must give 12 per cent annual return (referred to as minimum acceptable return or MAR) to help you achieve your goal. The riskometer could show the frequency during the last 5, 7, 10 years and since inception when the fund gave a return lower than 12 per cent.
That could give a perspective of how risky the fund is in relation to the goal you want to achieve. Note risk is defined as the possibility of earning returns lower than MAR in any year, as that may lead to goal failure. A fund can assume a standardised return regardless of your goals; for MAR is the expected return on equity as an asset class.
Conclusion
AMCs should disclose risk metric in a way we can relate to the information provided. The metric must be standardised for comparison among peer funds. The above argument applies to equity funds with track record, not to new fund offers.

Sang Yoon’s Egg Salad Sando Recipe
Chef Sang Yoon opened an all-day bakery cafe in the historic Helms Bakery complex in Culver City. Yoon’s Helms Bakery is 14,000 square feet of baked goods (pies by the slice, cakes, cookies, sourdough loaves and more), snacks, coffee, soft drinks, packaged takeout items, a hot-dish lunch menu and sandwiches. This one — a recipe for his take on the egg salad sandwich — is inspired by the kind of sandos you find at convenience stores in Japan, as well as the Jewish deli version.
Get out two pots for boiling eggs. One pot is for 10-minute eggs, and the other is for 8-minute eggs. The softer-boiled eggs and their jammy yolks are featured split open in the middle of the sandwich, served on slices of fluffy milk bread with their crusts cut off.
Yoon has a couple of flavor-producing tricks, including onion powder, chicken bouillon powder and, yes, MSG, for extra tasty egg salad.

Raise your hand if someone at Church has offered to set you up. Look at that – nearly every hand raised. Now, raise your hand if someone at Church has prayed with you to continue living single for God’s glory. Hopefully, as many hands went up, but probably not. In our church culture, single is often interpreted to mean “I need help getting un-single.” And while we do need help, lots of it, God will handle the “getting un-single.” We need the Church’s help with a bigger problem.
And being single is not our biggest problem. In light of God’s Word, it probably does not even make the top ten. Our biggest problem is the same as everyone else’s: We are sinners. And, without Christ, the wages of sin is death, eternal separation from God. But, with Christ, we can live in freedom from sin and freedom to serve God. And that’s what we need help with: living the Christian life.
Like married church members, we need prompting to continue obeying Christ and displaying Him to others. We need to be encouraged that our service to God and others has value and worth. We need the fellowship of other soldiers in this fight of faith, others who will pick us up and say, “God always wins. Keep fighting! I’m here for you.” God will address our singleness in His way and in His time. But until then, remember, we need your support to take up our cross daily and follow Christ. We need your help to continue on as dedicated, useful, and beloved servants of our God.
Learn more about Alisha’s newest book, Confessions of a Christian Spinster:
Being single in today’s church often feels like a waiting game. You’re put on hold in ministry, service, even spiritual growth until you say “I do,” and you’re either pitied or not seen at all. Unlike today’s church, God is not mystified by the presence of unmarried Christ-followers in the pews. In fact, he has masterful plans for those without a ring on their finger. Alisha Plummer points out how God is eager to empower them with purpose and passion.
In Confessions of a Christian Spinster, Alisha explores God’s design specifically for Christian singlehood through amusing tales and scripturally based truths. She tackles the difficult questions the church often ignores, like: Where do I fit in? Does the church even want me? Has God forgotten about me? What happens if I never get married? Further, she confronts the church, calling for an adjustment to its couple-centric culture, and asking Christians to understand that their single brothers and sisters are not only valued by God but integral to his kingdom.
Singles will feel seen through Alisha’s words; they’ll be encouraged to seize their role in the church and inspire their pastoral staff to reinvent their culture on singleness. is a powerful resource for those seeking to live and thrive in a perplexed church–and a way forward for the church itself.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
EXCLUSIVE: During this high summer season, visitors to several of America’s most iconic national parks have found themselves face to face with something unexpected: the towering 12-foot-sculpted head of Elon Musk, smirking confidently atop a trailer.
It’s flanked by patriotic stars and a two-part message: “MAKE AMERICA WAIT AGAIN” and, in bold yellow below, “Now With Longer Lines Thanks to DOGE Cuts.”
The sculpture has made surprise appearances at Arches, Yosemite and Mt. Rainier National Parks, drawing curious crowds and fueling viral conversations online.
Now, the anonymous organizer behind the spectacle has come forward exclusively to Fox News Digital to explain why he built it, why he picked Musk — President Donald Trump’s former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) leader and policy advisor — and why he wanted it seen in America’s favorite outdoor spaces.
‘KILL BILL’: ELON MUSK’S CONSERVATIVE EVOLUTION PUTS HIM AT ODDS WITH TRUMP ON KEY LEGISLATION

“You’re not the first outlet people would expect to run this,” the anonymous backer said during a phone interview. “Which is exactly why I wanted to talk to you.”
Identifying only as a concerned citizen and “curious reader,” the man insists he has no ties to any political organization, nonprofit, or corporate interest. “No organizations, no parties — just me and a few people who care,” he said.
He explained that the sculpture is “part protest, part performance art,” aimed at drawing attention to recent layoffs and budget reductions across the National Park Service.
‘AMERICAN HERO’ OR ‘FAILURE’: ELON MUSK’S DOGE DEPARTURE DIVIDES CAPITOL HILL

“However you feel about the DOGE cuts, and we’re using that word tongue-in-cheek, the reality is that thousands of people who love these parks and work to protect them were let go or impacted. And nobody’s really talking about it anymore.”
The parks were a deliberate choice. “National parks are one of the few truly nonpartisan joys we have in this country,” he said. “Democrats, Republicans, independents — everyone loves the outdoors.”
He chose Mt. Rainier for this weekend’s installation, he said, because of the high-season congestion and overflowing parking lots.
“It’s incredibly packed. One lane in, one lane out. The parking lots are overflowing — you literally can’t park to see the most popular spots,” he said. “It just felt … poetic.”
Park visitors’ reactions were wide-ranging. Some posed for photos, others made rude gestures, and many simply stared.
“People crowded around it, took photos, laughed, flipped it off, gave it thumbs-up,” he said. “It ran the gamut — a good cross-section of America.”

The sculpture, built by a Michigan-based artist found online, was designed to look lifelike, and just exaggerated enough to be meme-ready.
“We looked for someone who could do something photo-realistic on a big scale but still work within a budget,” he said. “We really wanted the smirk. That very self-satisfied look.”
As for the sign, “MAKE AMERICA WAIT AGAIN” was no accident. The nod to a certain president’s famous slogan is deliberate, the backer admitted, but it isn’t meant to target any particular political side. “It’s meant to spark conversation,” he said.
“Everyone has an opinion about Elon Musk. But I wanted this to cut across political lines.”
When asked why he insists on remaining anonymous, the backer didn’t dodge the question. “There’s something fun about the mystery,” he said. “It’s not important who I am. It’s about what this statue represents.”

Images of the Musk bust have set Reddit ablaze. Comments from just one post from r/pics include:
- “Somehow it looks both better and worse then Elon”
- “Wonder who paid for it”
- “They captured his smugness perfectly”
The mystery creator acknowledges the risks of such a public display but believes the message matters.
“Major things happen in our country, real, damaging things, and we forget them because the news cycle spins so fast,” he said. “This is a loud, silly way to not forget.”
When asked what he’d say directly to Musk, he didn’t hesitate: “Stick to making cars, and stay out of screwing up the government.”

The backer says the National Parks themselves are what unite Americans in divided times. “It is like common knowledge that becoming a park ranger is something you do for the love, not for the money,” he said. “So when they were fired or stretched thin, it hurt something we all share.”
When pressed about his own political leanings, he said only: “I’m definitely not a Republican, and I wouldn’t call myself a Democrat either. . . . I think there are aspects of both parties that, in my opinion, do certain things right and certain things wrong.”

But why bring the project to Fox News Digital? “Because I think that you’re not the first audience people would think of to cover this. And I think that’s fantastic,” he said. “That makes me thrilled. Because we’re all Americans and we all have different views and different things we enjoy. Funny things and weird things and bizarre things and pretty things.”
As for what comes next, the head is going to more parks, but where and when remain a mystery. “I can’t tell you, but I’m happy to keep telling you in the right moment.”
The company’s attempt to change the narrative by bringing in actor and lifestyle brand founder Gwyneth Paltrow as a “temporary spokesperson” is now poised to become a discussion point in academic circles.
Management students will debate whether wry humour (since Paltrow is the ex-wife of Chris Martin, lead singer of the band Coldplay, during whose concert the couple was caught on camera) will be enough. They will question whether this step was a “clever or wise” form of crisis management, and whether shareholders and consumers are truly swayed by star power.
“I can envisage this becoming a massive case study in the coming days. The case illustrates the power of humour, irony, and sarcasm as tools to convey a strong message effectively, especially when facing negative PR,” said Viswanath Pingali, who teaches economics at Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ahmedabad. Pingali’s research interests include digital markets and healthcare.
“The text clearly communicates what the firm stands for, and what its core business is. Everything else is ephemeral and should be treated as such. Sarcasm and irony, when used in the right amounts, can convey the message very effectively,” Pingali pointed out. “The opening remark, ‘I am hired on a very temporary basis,’ is also highly suggestive of what Astronomer thinks, and what it wants us to think about the crisis.”
IIMs and other business schools regularly discuss case studies on the dos and don’ts of corporate governance, brand management, and, often, live cases — those that are ongoing. These could include global events, major mergers and acquisitions, or sectoral shifts during rare occurrences like a pandemic, which force firms to alter their operations and adapt quickly. Classes in Strategy, HR, Marketing, and Economics are where such cases are discussed to understand their impact on share prices, client perceptions, and business outcomes.
For instance, last year, strategy management, business development, and market analysis were threads picked up while discussing the general elections in classrooms.
Some case studies also get published. IIM Bangalore’s case study on the use of digital media in the promotion of the film 1920: Evil Returns was published by Harvard Business Publishing. According to the institute’s website, the case study is being used by students even in the US, Canada, Norway, and Slovenia.
The IIM Bangalore study highlighted the social media marketing strategy of this smaller budget movie, and how it was targeted at an audience that knew about the franchises and watched the horror genre.
Speaking about the inclusion of the Astronomer episode in the classroom, Debashis Chatterjee, director of IIM Kozhikode, said the students will be given open-ended questions. “They will debate ‘clever versus wise’ crisis management. Will the image portrayed by the firm over the weekend become a case of perception management, and what would have been the ‘right’ thing to do?”
On 26 July, a video on Astronomer’s social media featured Paltrow sidestepping the controversy to speak about the work the firm does. “I’ve been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300+ employees at Astronomer,” she said.
Barely a month ago, the company’s chief executive officer (CEO) Andy Byron and the human resources head, Kristen Cabot, were caught on camera during a Coldplay concert ‘Kiss Cam’ moment. The firm then faced tremendous backlash regarding ethics and management challenges. However, the recent video once again turned online conversations toward whether the crisis might be averted, as the firm attempts to refocus attention on its core business.
“The events of the past few days have received a level of media attention that few companies–let alone startups in our small corner of the data and AI world–ever encounter. The spotlight has been unusual and surreal for our team, and while I would never have wished for it to happen like this, Astronomer is now a household name,” said interim CEO Pete DeJoy in a note posted on the firm’s website.
A professor who teaches entrepreneurship at one of the IIMs said the question posed to students will be: “How do you tell an audience that you and your firm are different from the episode?”
“You have to make fundamental changes and show the audience that you’ve addressed the issue, and detail what went wrong and why,” said the professor, who wished to remain anonymous.
The discussion could also veer around on how to convert a sticky situation into an opportunity. “One needs to see if the funnel of talent and client will increase for the company in the long term since it is a B2B (business-to-business) firm and not a B2C (business-to-consumer), said Sourav Mukherji, who teaches Organizational Behaviour & Human Resources Management at IIM Bangalore.
“The class may also discuss how no publicity, however infamous, is bad publicity,” he said, wrapping it up.
Honorable Mentions
As we said, WIRED runners pound hundreds of miles every year. Here are a few of the other shoes we’ve tested that you might want to consider if the above do not work for your foot. If you’re not familiar with a brand, we recommend going to a local running store for a test run before plunking down your credit card.
Diadora Nucleo 2 for $165: The Nucleo 2 isn’t a wow, high-energy, super springy shoe. But if you’re a fan of straightforward, no nonsense comfort and good inherent stability across a good range of paces, the Nucleo 2 delivers.
Rad R1 for $160: Made to master gym, HIIT, running and all manner of hybrid workouts, I’ve been using the Rad R1 when I’m eating up my strength and condition work in the gym like a good boy. They’re good for short runs, and miles on the softer treadmill belt, stable and supportive enough to get under the bar and offer control for drills like box jumps and lunges. They look good too.
Altra Outroad 3 for $130: Altra is a smaller brand that’s known for its wide toe box and zero heel-to-toe drop—it makes shoes that feel like you’re running barefoot, but offer more protection. This is my favorite shoe for switching between roads and trails. They’re affordable, too.—Adrienne So
New Balance Rebel V5 for $140, Adidas EVO SL for $150, Mizuno Neo Vista 2 for $200: Another top-notch all rounder to rival the Saucony Endorphin Speed 5, the Rebel V5 is smooth, light and capable across the whole pace range. The Adidas EVO SL can also handle anything you throw at it. But if you like your things super soft with a bit of bounce, the Mizuno Neo Vista 2 serves up a uniquely cushioned plush ride.
New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080 v14 for $165, HOKA Clifton 9 for $144: If you’ve never run before, the Hoka Clifton 9 is my recommendation for a beginning runner. Despite Hoka’s outsized (ahem) reputation, this is a pretty minimal shoe that’s comfortable, balanced, and light. The Brooks Ghost 17 is another simple, easy, reliable everyday runner that’ll carry beginners from couch to 5km and beyond.—Adrienne So
Saucony Ride 17 for $99: This is also a good older budget-shoe model.
Saucony Hurricane 24 for $160, Brooks Glycerin 21 GTS for $130: Consumer tech director and podcast host Michael Calore runs in the Brooks Glycerin. This is our alternative pick if you’re shopping for shoes that offer greater stability.
FAQ
How Should I Care For My Running Shoes?
- Give them a rest day. After long runs, midsole foam takes time to decompress. Rotating shoes with 48 hours between runs boosts your shoe’s bounce-back-ability.
- Undo your laces. You’re tired, we know, but kicking off (or worse squeezing back in) without unlacing your running shoes is a sure-fire way to damage the heels fast.
- Wash them if they get muddy. Mud and sand in the upper fibers can cause them to degrade. But don’t wash them in the machine, do it by hand—and stay well clear of the dryer.
- Keep things cool. Prolonged exposure to high heat from a radiator or the sun’s rays can dry, harden, and damage the midsole.
- Stuff them. Remove the insoles and dry each running shoe separately. Then use scrunched up newspaper to dry out damp inners faster and help the uppers retain their shape.
How Long Should My Shoes Last?
The internet’s collective wisdom says that you should replace your shoes somewhere between 300 and 500 miles. However, this decades-old rule of thumb is based on a few limited studies and general advice from brands. New foam varieties, outsole rubbers, and upper technology means it’s now harder to offer blanket advice.
There are many different formulas of modern midsole foams. Durability is now judged not only by how long the protective cushioning lasts, but also whether it continues to deliver the bounce and performance. Some of the top superfoams might lose their initial energy but remain as protective as a firmer, more traditional EVA sole. For example, your high-tech carbon race shoe could become your daily runner once it’s lost its top-speed edge.
You also have to factor in your unique running style. Shoes wear differently for different runners, impacted by variables like weight, stride pattern, pace, daily usage, terrain, and climate. There are obvious signs of wear and tear: Heel collars rubbed through, holes in the uppers or grip worn to the point it’s no longer effective. It’s harder to spot when a midsole has had its day. They don’t crease in the same way older shoes used to.
The best advice: Use your shoes until something feels off. When that happens, you might want to start shopping.

U SVAKODNEVNOM ritmu lako je posegnuti za pićima koja su praktična, ali dugoročno štetna za zdravlje. Mnogi od nas rijetko razmišljaju o tome što zapravo pijemo, iako upravo te navike mogu utjecati na hormone, energiju i opće zdravlje. Endokrinologinja dr. Alessia C. Roehnelt otkrila je da određena pića izbjegava pod svaku cijenu – zbog kemikalija i spojeva koji mogu narušiti ravnotežu u tijelu.
Tvrdi da sva pića koja je navela mogu sadržavati štetne tvari ili dodatke koji dugoročno utječu na zdravlje, a osobito na endokrini sustav. Evo na koja je posebno upozorila.
Beskofeinska kava i čaj
Ako pokušavamo smanjiti unos kofeina, to je pohvalno, no beskofeinski napitci nisu uvijek najzdravije rješenje. “Većina tih proizvoda lišena je kofeina pomoću agresivnih kemijskih otapala”, objasnila je dr. Roehnelt u videu. Najčešće se koriste metilenski klorid i etil-acetat – kemikalije koje mogu ostaviti tragove u napitku i s vremenom naštetiti tijelu. Iako količine mogu biti male, svakodnevna konzumacija povećava izloženost.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Stoga endokrinologinja preporučuje prirodniju alternativu. “Pijte biljne čajeve poput mente ili kamilice – oni su prirodno bez kofeina”, navodi. Osim što su sigurniji, biljni čajevi često imaju i umirujući učinak na organizam.
Napitci s elektrolitima
Iako su mnogima omiljeni nakon treninga ili ujutro poslije izlaska, industrijski napici s elektrolitima često kriju više štete nego koristi. “Ti napici znaju biti puni umjetnih bojila, zaslađivača, raznih kemikalija, a obično su i zapakirani u plastične boce”, upozorava dr. Roehnelt. Marketinški se predstavljaju kao zdravi, no sastojci poput šećera, aditiva i plastike mogu predstavljati ozbiljan problem, posebno ako ih konzumiramo redovito.
“Čaša vode, prstohvat keltske soli i malo limuna – to je sjajan izvor elektrolita”, kaže stručnjakinja. Takva domaća mješavina pruža prirodnu hidraciju, bez nepotrebnih dodataka i ambalaže. Osim što štedi novac, tijelu daje upravo ono što mu treba – bez suvišnih tvari.

New Delhi, July 27: If anyone wants to know how to make a grand comeback, then they should definitely take notes from ace designer Manish Malhotra.
On Saturday night, he returned to the India Couture Week after more than 5 years, and with his unique show, he once again proved why he is still at the top of his game.
A gala held at the Taj Palace in Delhi gave fashionholics a golden opportunity to have a look at some of the iconic ensembles created by Manish Malhotra in his professional journey spanning over three decades. The attendees were definitely in for a treat as Manish displayed his most celebrated outfits at ICW, including Kajol’s green lehenga from ‘Mehndi Laga Ke Rakhna’ song in ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ (1995), Kareena’s peach sharara outfit from ‘Bole Chudiyan’ in ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’ (2001), and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s Banarasi saree from Cannes 2025.

The six yard drape worn by Priyanka Chopra in ‘Desi Girl’ song from ‘Dostana’ was also on display. Giving a more legendary touch to the showcase, he also put the custom archival ensemble that was donned by evergreen actress Rekha for Vogue photoshoot on display.
No doubt, Delhiites left nostalgic seeing Manish’s historic creations right before them. Many even posed with the iconic outfits – and why not ? His comeback show was different in several ways. It was more like a couture party. Under one roof, people not only got a sneak peek into Manish’s timeless creativity but also they bonded with each other over fashion, music, and food.
It was not just a party. It’s a moment that all fashion lovers waited for. While the format of his show was quite different, the fashion maestro did not forget to add the “traditional runway” element to the gala. Anupam Kher Meets Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, Who Led Operation Sindoor Presser, Says ‘She Epitomises Grace, Valour, Dignity, and Bravery’ (See Post).
Models walked the ramp in his exquisite outfits. Brazilian supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio made a special appearance at the runway, looking breathtaking in couturier’s opulent design. One of the main highlights of the runway was Jonita Gandhi’s live singing. Her melodious voice brought more magic to Manish Malhotra’s comeback show on Day 4 of Hyundai India Couture Week 2025, in association with Reliance Brands and an initiative of FDCI.

U SKLONIŠTU za životinje Velika Gorica svoju priliku za novi početak čeka Sky, šestomjesečna kujica u tipu švicarskog ovčara koja traži svoj zauvijek dom. Iza nje je težak početak života, ali ispred nje može biti budućnost ispunjena ljubavlju, šetnjama, sigurnošću i toplinom, ako joj netko pruži priliku.
Sky je stigla u sklonište sa svoje dvije sestre i bratom nakon dojave o napuštenim štencima u naselju Čret Posavski. Bila je pothranjena, uplašena, prekrivena vanjskim i unutarnjim parazitima, s ranama po tijelu i upaljenom kožom. Niti jedan štenac nije bio čipiran. Kako pišu volonteri, izgledali su kao da nikada nisu vidjeli sunce ni slobodu.
Od tog trenutka počinje njihova transformacija. Zahvaljujući djelatnicima Skloništa za životinje Velika Gorica i volonterima iz Udruge Sigurna kućica, štenci su okupani, očišćeni, cijepljeni i čipirani. Za njih je krenula borba za povratak povjerenja u ljude i svi, osim Sky, su pronašli svoje domove.

Sky je spremna za novi dom
Iako je ostala sama, to ne znači da je Sky manje posebna od ostatka legla. Volonteri koji su je upoznali ističu da ima divan karakter. S obzirom na to da je riječ o kujici u tipu švicarskog ovčara, Sky ima predispozicije biti aktivan pas koji će uživati u šetnjama, igri i zadacima. Ali prije svega, treba joj strpljenje, nježnost i obitelj koja će znati prepoznati njezin potencijal.
Sky je cijepljena i čipirana, a udomiteljima je osigurana i obvezna sterilizacija. Ona ne traži savršene ljude, ali traži odgovorne i empatične osobe koje će razumjeti da mladi pas poput nje treba vrijeme za prilagodbu, učenje i razvoj.
Ako imate uvjete i veliko srce za ovu prekrasnu mladu kujicu, javite se Skloništu za životinje Velika Gorica putem broja 095 400 0567, e-adrese [email protected] ili inboxa na Facebooku, ili se javite Udruzi Sigurna kućica putem Facebooka.

OVE subote pjevačica Domenica, uz druge poznate uzvanike, prisustvovala je vjenčanju Matta Orlića, hrvatskog poduzetnika iz Sydneyja, i Emily Tokić. Na svom Instagramu podijelila je niz fotografija sa slavlja, a posebnu pažnju privukla je njezina haljina koja odiše glamourom i ljetnom elegancijom.
Nosila je upečatljivu dugu haljinu sa šljokicama u raskošnoj bordo nijansi. Krojen s dubokim dekolteom, hrabrim izrezima na trbuhu i leđima te tankim naramenicama, ovaj model istaknuo je njezinu figuru i unio dozu zavodljivosti, ali i sofisticiranosti.

England showed their resilience on a big stage once again as they defended their UEFA Euro title by winning the 2025 edition in Switzerland on July 27. Entering the penalty shootout, England defeated Spain 3-1 in the final after the regulation time ended in a 1-1 draw. The extra time saw no goals and it was Hannah Hampton who decided the game with two saves in a thrilling penalty shootout. It was Spain who took the lead in the first half, with Mariona Caldentey finding the back of the net. Alessia Russo then helped England bounce back, scoring the equaliser in the second half and the game headed to the penalty shootout. Chloe Kelly scored the winning goal for England Women’s National Football Team in the penalty shootout. This is the third European title for England coach Sarina Wiegman. ‘World’s Sexiest Footballer’ Alisha Lehmann Assigned Personal Bodyguard at UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 as Switzerland Star Faces Overwhelming Fan Attention and Online Abuse Amid Limited Game Time.

Serving craft beer, playing mahjong, stacking shelves and boxing, the dozens of humanoid robots at Shanghai’s World AI Conference this weekend were embodiments of China’s growing AI prowess and ambition.
The annual event is primed at showcasing China’s progress in the ever-evolving field of artificial intelligence, with the government aiming to position the country as a world leader on both technology and regulation as it snaps at the United States’ heels.
Opening the event on Saturday, Premier Li Qiang announced China would set up a new organisation for cooperation on AI governance, warning the benefits of development must be balanced with the risks.
But in the cavernous expo next door, the mood was more giddy than concerned.
“Demand is currently very strong, whether in terms of data, scenarios, model training, or artificial construction. The overall atmosphere in all these areas is very lively,” said Yang Yifan, R&D director at Transwarp, a Shanghai-based AI platform provider.
This year’s WAIC is the first since a breakthrough moment for Chinese AI this January when startup DeepSeek unveiled an AI model that performed as well as top US systems for an apparent fraction of the cost.
Organisers said the forum involved more than 800 companies, showcasing over 3,000 products the undeniable crowd pleasers being the humanoid robots and their raft of slightly surreal party tricks.
At one booth, a robot played drums, half a beat out of time, to Queen’s “We Will Rock You” while a man in safety goggles and a security vest hyped up a giggling crowd.
Other droids, some dressed in working overalls or baseball caps, manned assembly lines, played curling with human opponents or sloppily served soft drinks from a dispenser.
While most of the machines on display were still a little jerky, the increasing sophistication year-on-year was clear to see.
The Chinese government has poured support into robotics, an area in which some experts think China might already have the upper hand over the United States.
At Hangzhou-based Unitree’s stall, its G1 android around 130 centimetres tall, with a two-hour battery life kicked, pivoted and punched, keeping its balance with relative fluidity as it shadowboxed around a ring.
Ahead of the conference’s opening, Unitree announced it would launch a full-size humanoid, the R1, for under $6,000.
Most high-tech helpers don’t need hardware though.
At the expo, AI companions in the form of middle-aged businessmen, scantily clad women and ancient warriors waved at people from screens, asking how their day was, while other stalls ran demos allowing visitors to create their own digital avatars.
Tech giant Baidu on Saturday announced a new generation of technology for its “digital humans” AI agents modelled on real people, which it says are “capable of thinking, making decisions, and collaborating”.
The company recently ran a six-hour e-commerce broadcast hosted by the “digital human” of a well-known streamer and another avatar.
The two agents beat the human streamer’s debut sales in some categories, Baidu said.
Over ten thousand businesses are using the technology already, the department’s head Wu Chenxia told AFP.
Asked about the impact on jobs one of the major concerns raised around widespread AI adoption Wu insisted that AI was a tool that should be used to improve quality and save time and effort, which still required human input.
For now, few visitors to the WAIC expo seemed worried about the potential ramifications of the back-flipping dog robots they were excitedly watching.
“When it comes to China’s AI development, we have a comparatively good foundation of data and also a wealth of application scenarios,” said Transwarp’s Yang.
“There are many more opportunities for experimentation.”

Deepika shared the news with a post on her Instagram handle on Sunday afternoon. “In tribute to the one and only Gloria Steinem and her 91 years of activism, The Shift is honoring 90 voices shaping our future. @theshiftison grateful for the honour#TheShiftIsOn,” read the caption.
The 39-year-old actor has been an active mental health advocate over the last few years and is the founder of Live Love Laugh Foundation that aims to educate people regarding mental health as well as reduce the stigma associated with it.
Deepika is also set to receive a Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2026, which will make her the first Indian actor to get the prestigious honour. Her latest work is “Singham Again” from Rohit Shetty. The film also starred Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Akshay Kumar and released in 2024.

Stock markets are in for an event-heavy week ahead with a raft of Q1 earnings from blue-chips, the US Fed interest rate decision and foreign investors trading activity driving investors’ sentiment, analysts said.
Macroeconomic data announcements, monthly auto sales numbers and global market trends would also guide movement in the domestic equities, they said.
Markets would also keep a track on developments related to the August 1 trade deal deadline and geopolitical tensions between Thailand and Cambodia.
August 1 marks the end of the suspension period of Trump tariffs imposed on dozens of countries, including India.
“The start of the new month will bring attention to key economic data, including Industrial Production (IIP) and HSBC Manufacturing PMI on August 1. Additionally, monthly auto sales figures will be closely monitored. The scheduled expiry of the July derivatives contracts may add further volatility to the markets,” Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd, said.
Q1 earnings this week
As the earnings season progresses, results from heavyweights such as IndusInd Bank, Asian Paints, NTPC, Tata Steel, Hindustan Unilever, Mahindra & Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki, Sun Pharma, ITC and others will be tracked for insights on sectoral resilience and corporate performance, he said.
Globally, traders will focus on the US Fed’s interest rate decision and GDP growth numbers, along with updates on trade negotiations ahead of Trump’s August 1 tariff deadline, which could impact FII flows, Mishra added.
Movement of rupee against the dollar and crude oil prices will also be monitored by investors.
“Looking ahead, all eyes are now on the upcoming Q1 earnings reports from several key companies. Their performance will be crucial in determining whether markets can find support or continue to trend lower in the near term,” Pravesh Gour, Senior Technical Analyst, Swastika Investmart Ltd, said.
Investors will closely monitor foreign fund flows, and any meaningful development on the India–US trade front for further direction, he added.
Last week, the BSE benchmark gauge declined 294.64 points or 0.36 per cent, and the Nifty dipped 131.4 points or 0.52 per cent.
“The Indian stock market continued its downward trajectory for the fourth consecutive week, marking the longest losing streak for the Nifty since October 2024. Investor sentiment remained weak, primarily due to the absence of strong domestic triggers, tepid corporate earnings for the June quarter, and persistent selling by foreign institutional investors (FIIs),” Gour said.
Siddhartha Khemka, Head – Research, Wealth Management, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd, said, we expect markets to remain in consolidation mode amid continued uncertainty around India-US trade deal, a mixed Q1 FY26 earnings season so far and intensifying FII outflows.

Beef ribs, says Andrew Muñoz, co-founder with wife Michelle Muñoz of Moo’s Craft Barbecue, are a Saturday special at their Lincoln Heights restaurant. “We can’t make enough of them,” he says. Those ribs are cooked in a smoker customized for the Moo’s team over California white oak. But the couple has developed this home-cook recipe that, as they demonstrated in the Times Test Kitchen, produces beautifully burnished ribs in an ordinary kitchen oven. “We realize not everyone has a smoker,” says Michelle Muñoz, “but everyone has an oven.” And, yes, Andrew Muñoz adds, you can get bark — that layer with earthy smoky notes — on these beef ribs in the oven.”
These ribs are terrific sliced (across the grain) right off the bone and served with traditional barbecue sides, but Michelle and Andrew Muñoz often like to let the ribs cook a little longer and then shred the meat for tacos. Michelle makes fire-roasted salsa with tomatillos, serranos and chile de árbol, but you can use any salsa you like.

Prayer is a critical part of worship. When we’re alone, one of the most important ways we can worship the Lord is to spend uninterrupted, devoted time with him in loving, surrendered prayer. Yet when it comes to church, many services fail to incorporate prayer much, if at all. The pastor might say a prayer or ask for prayer requests to be sent to them during the week, or there might be the standard recitation of the Lord’s Prayer, but other than that, the service does little to emphasize or promote personal or group prayer.
Yet the healthiest, strongest churches are typically those that are committed to prayer. They infuse prayer throughout the service, with ample time for silent prayer. The pastor might pray aloud before beginning the sermon, asking for wisdom or clarity, and after the message, the body might be invited to pray about the lesson discussed. People are urged to pray throughout the week.
Churches that skip or gloss over the importance of prayer are not only doing their members a disservice by robbing them of a beautiful opportunity together, but they are failing to honor the Lord in a manner he repeatedly urges us to practice.
God commands us to pray (Philippians 4:6-7). Christ urged us to pray and modeled this himself. As Ephesians 6:18 says, “And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.” At its core, prayer is worship, for during prayer, we are in communion and connection with God.
If you notice these things happening in your church, consider what’s going on and why. Does God want you to talk with your church staff about this? Is God asking you to step up and help in this area? The church must put God first.

A man has made travel an unpredictable adventure by throwing a dart at a map of the world while blindfolded — and visiting whichever country his darts happen to hit.
Sorin Mihailovici, 48, a small business entrepreneur, started the journey in 2012 after telling a friend he wanted to “wake up one morning and throw a dart at a map and go there.”
Mihailovici began by visiting far-flung places like the North Pole, Russia and Indonesia, originally taking annual trips but now traveling to up to 16 destinations a year. The trips were initially funded by his savings and later through partnerships with companies, per SWNS.
MAN DISCOVERS ‘GHOST TOWN’ FULL OF EMPTY, EERIE HOTELS: ‘LIKE A TIME CAPSULE’
He doesn’t travel to the exact spot where his dart lands, but begins in the country’s capital because some nations, such as Uruguay, are too small for precise targeting, said Mihailovici.
Mihailovici’s favorite countries so far include Iceland, Argentina and Thailand, while Madagascar ranked “hands down” as his least favorite, he said, due to a “misconception” shaped by the animated movie sharing its name and locals who “didn’t have the best intentions.”

Praising Vietnam, Mihailovici, a Canadian, insisted its cuisine is “the best street food I’ve ever had,” and noted it was the cheapest destination that he’s traveled to, SWNS reported.
Some countries, especially in Scandinavia like Norway and Sweden, and places like Switzerland and the Maldives, can be quite expensive, he pointed out.
Mihailovici’s travel show, “Travel by Dart,” features footage from his trips.
WORLD-TRAVELING COUPLE VISITS 197 COUNTRIES, REVEALS TOP DESTINATIONS
He began editing and publishing the clips during the COVID pandemic, eventually selling the concept to a distribution company, as SWNS reported.
“While we were at home, I started editing all those materials from every country and created a season of 13 episodes,” he said.
“Most of the time it’s just me on location. I hire a local videographer, film and create episodes for YouTube — and over the years, I’ve started doing a show for Amazon Prime.”

Despite the unpredictable nature of his travels, Mihailovici said he isn’t afraid of dangerous destinations.

He was in Iraq recently, he said.
“People said, ‘Are you crazy?’ Maybe it was not safe, but nothing happened to me. We went to Baghdad and Babylon. It was great. I was eating camel every day,” Mihailovici told SWNS.

He admitted he was “a little scared” about going to Iraq given the political situation, but was determined to follow through with wherever the dart suggested he go.
“It was great. I was eating camel every day.”
“The idea is to visit the whole world, each and every country by dart,” Mihailovici said.
“I did all the big ones that are larger on the map,” he said.

“The smaller ones are hard to hit, and I’m also blindfolded [while throwing the dart], so I can’t pinpoint it to a certain continent.”
Mihailovici said he hopes to continue expanding his travel list.

He said Australia and Spain are his next dream destinations, though he admits they’re “hard to hit” and plans another dart throw in August, according to SWNS.

Other improvements Qi2 brings over Qi include wider device compatibility (from tablets to wearables), adaptive charging so chargers can talk to devices to supply the power they need instead of having a fixed power output, and enhanced safety with better heat management and foreign object detection.
What Is Qi2 25W?
The first major update for the Qi2 standard is Qi2.2.1, which the WPC is branding as Qi2 25W. While it won’t do anything to clarify the wireless charging scene, it is set to enable a host of improvements:
- Faster charging speeds of up to 50 watts, though it looks as though 25 watts will be the norm for now.
- Improved magnetic alignment, so phones can charge at maximum efficiency and speed, and different devices will be compatible with all Qi2 25W accessories.
- Backwards compatibility, meaning Qi2 25W devices will still work with Qi2 and Qi chargers, albeit at slower speeds.
The WPC says 14 products are certified so far, including 3-in-1 chargers, power banks, and car mounts, from Anker, Aukey, Baseus, Belkin, Ugreen, and Scosche, with hundreds more in the certification queue. Most interestingly, the WPC says, “in addition to Apple iPhone, major Android smartphones will join the Qi2 ecosystem for the first time with this launch.” But we don’t know yet which iPhone models or Android phones it is referring to.
A Complete List of Qi2 Phones
Sadly, there aren’t many Qi2-certified phones yet. Here’s the complete list:
A Complete List of Qi2-Ready Phones
Qi2-Ready phones are capable of charging at Qi2 speeds but lack the magnetic array, so they must be paired with Qi2-Ready cases with magnets in them to act as Qi2 phones. Here’s the list:
Expect a Delayed Wave of Qi2 Devices
Before a device can bear the Qi2 or Qi2 25W logo, the Wireless Power Consortium must certify it in its independent labs. The MPP Qi2 specification includes charging rate, magnet strength, and device compatibility. The Qi2 logo promises that the device meets the WPC’s exacting standards. But, as with the original Qi standard, there are also devices available that have not passed through the official Qi2 certification process.
Apple’s iPhone 12 to 16 range supports Qi2, and accessory makers like Anker, Belkin, Nomad, Mophie, Baseus, and many others have released Qi2 wireless chargers and power banks. You can expect a wave of Qi2 25W accessories and phones to roll out next, and we expect some Android manufacturers to jump fully on board later this year or early 2026. Phones typically have a two-year lead time, so that may account for the delay in Qi2 adoption. The WPC hopes that Qi2 will unify wireless charging and finally provide the universal global standard we have been waiting for, but we are no longer feeling quite so optimistic.

KADA se govori o zdravlju srca, najčešće se pomisli na bolnice, lijekove i hitne intervencije. No, kardiolozi naglašavaju da male, svakodnevne navike također mogu imati veliki utjecaj – posebno kad je riječ o snižavanju krvnog tlaka. Prehrana igra ključnu ulogu, a upravo tu ljudi imaju najviše kontrole.
“Održavanje zdrave prehrane može uvelike pomoći u kontroli krvnog tlaka”, kaže kardiolog dr. Cheng-Han Chen za Parade. Jedna namirnica posebno se ističe u preporukama stručnjaka kad je u pitanju regulacija tlaka – špinat.
“Špinat može pomoći u snižavanju krvnog tlaka zahvaljujući visokom udjelu nitrata koji potiču opuštanje krvnih žila”, objašnjava dr. Chen. Osim toga, bogat je kalijem koji, prema riječima nutricionistice Kathleen Garcia-Benson, “pomaže u ravnoteži razine natrija i dodatno smanjuje pritisak na krvne žile”. Ove dvije hranjive tvari zajedno čine snažnu kombinaciju za zdravlje srca.
“Nije poanta jesti samo špinat, već redovito konzumirati raznoliko povrće koje podržava zdravlje srca”
Nutricionistica Michelle Routhenstein naglašava da nijedna namirnica ne može sama riješiti problem visokog tlaka, ali špinat se odlično uklapa u zdravu prehranu. “Važan je cjelokupan obrazac prehrane, a špinat je svakako dobar izbor zbog kombinacije nitrata i kalija”, kaže ona.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Preporučuje se konzumacija sirovog ili kuhanog špinata nekoliko puta tjedno, bilo u salatama, juhama ili sendvičima. Garcia-Benson dodaje kako se špinat lako uklapa u jutarnje obroke, poput omleta, ili čak u smoothieje.
Ako špinat nije po nečijem ukusu, postoje i druge opcije – poput kelja, blitve, rikule ili cikle.
“Nije poanta jesti samo špinat, već redovito konzumirati raznoliko povrće koje podržava zdravlje srca”, navodi Garcia-Benson. Preporučuje i namirnice poput batata, avokada, bobičastog voća i banana jer su bogate kalijem, vlaknima i antioksidansima.

SELIDBA u novi dom uvijek je ispunjena uzbuđenjem i iščekivanjem, a taj trenutak dobiva poseban šarm kada ga možemo podijeliti s našim krznenim prijateljima. Iako selidba za pse može biti stresna, istraživanje novog, većeg prostora na kraju se pretvara u pravu avanturu.
To najbolje zna žuti labrador Bear, koji se nedavno sa svojom vlasnicom preselio iz Škotske u Australiju i bio je oduševljen novim domom. No, tijekom prvog istraživanja kuće došlo je do male nezgode koja je brzo postala viralna.
Nalet sreće završio razbijenim staklom
Njegova vlasnica Marf na TikToku je objavila videozapis koji prikazuje Bearov nalet energije tijekom istraživanja nove kuće i neočekivane posljedice. U zanosu sreće Bear se zaletio u donji dio staklenih vrata jer je mislio da su otvorena i razbio ih.
Iako ga je zvuk razbijanja stakla šokirao, Bear je na svu sreću prošao bez ijedne ozljede. Vlasnica ga je odmah utješila uvjeravajući ga da nije u nevolji.

Komentari otkrili zanimljiv detalj
Snimka koja je podijeljena prošli tjedan skupila je više od 7,7 milijuna pregleda i gotovo pet tisuća komentara.
“Moja prva misao bila je: super, sada možete ugraditi vrata za pse”, napisao je jedan korisnik, na što su drugi komentirali da se vrata za pse nalaze s druge strane, samo što ih labrador nije primijetio.
Jedan komentar posebno se istaknuo. “Radim u tvrtki za prozore i ovo je zapravo protivno propisima! Staklo koje je u visini poda ili pokraj vrata mora biti kaljeno i ne bi se smjelo ovako lako razbiti”, objasnio je gledatelj.
Vlasnica psa u komentarima je objasnila da je zamijenila staklo koje se nalazi uz vrata kaljenim staklom, a uz to je instalirala i nova vrata za pse.

PREDVIĐANJE trendova u svijetu tenisica prava je umjetnost. Jedan tjedan svi su ludi za najnovijim Air Jordan modelom, a već sljedećeg tjedna scenu preuzimaju elegantne balerinka-tenisice. Prošlo je sedam mjeseci 2025., i jedna stvar postaje jasna – ovo je godina u kojoj tenisice nisu nimalo dosadne. Zahvaljujući nekolicini neočekivanih modela koji su se prometnuli u status “it” obuće, scena je prepuna iznenađenja.
Od neobičnih hibrida do redizajniranih klasika, ovo su najveći trendovi tenisica u 2025. dosad, piše GQ.
Hibridne tenisice-mokasinke
Kada je New Balance početkom prošle godine na reviji Junye Watanabea predstavio hibridni model 1906L, mnogi su pomislili da je riječ o kratkotrajnom viralnom hitu. Međutim, 18 mjeseci kasnije, 1906L ne samo da je dokazao svoju postojanost, već je potaknuo i lavinu sličnih modela.
Brendovi poput Hoke, Pume, Conversea i Nikea prihvatili su ovaj poslovno-ležerni stil. Je li popularnost hibrida tenisice i elegantne cipele posljedica masovnog povratka u urede ili jednostavno želja za udobnošću? Koji god razlog bio, ovaj trend je tu da ostane.
Povratak nogometnog stila
Slično kao i s mokasinkama, kada se na TikToku pojavio trend nošenja kopački u svakodnevnim prilikama, činilo se kao puka šala. Ipak, pokazalo se da u tome ima istine.
Potaknuti takozvanim “blokecore” stilom, brojni brendovi lansirali su lifestyle modele inspirirane kultnim kopačkama, poput Adidas Predator modela Davida Beckhama ili Nike Total 90 koje je proslavio Ronaldinho. Ovi modeli predstavljaju prirodnu evoluciju popularnosti Samba tenisica – sportske, niske tenisice idealne za svaku priliku.
Elegantne torpedo siluete
Jeste li primijetili da su najpopularnije tenisice postale elegantnije i tanje no ikad? Nakon višegodišnje vladavine masivnih “dad” tenisica, na scenu se vraćaju trkaći modeli inspirirani 70-ima. Odlikuju ih tanko gornjište, minimalistička konstrukcija i zašiljeni vrh.

Trendu su se pridružili i Tyler, the Creator, s redizajnom arhivskog modela Converse 1908 Coach Jogger, kao i Wales Bonner sa svojim prvim originalnim adidasovim modelom – Karintha Lo. U igru su ušle i velike modne kuće poput Maison Margiele, Prade i Driesa Van Notena, čime su dizajnerske tenisice ponovno postale iznimno relevantne.
Udobnost na prvom mjestu
Bilo je samo pitanje vremena. Nakon što su “dad” tenisice postale hit, stigla je nova generacija inspirirana – djedovima. Tako je, ortopedske cipele za hodanje vašeg djeda postale su nevjerojatno popularne.
Iako je brend Mephisto započeo ovaj trend, prava eksplozija dogodila se kada je New Balance predstavio svoj model Allerdale. Cipele proizvedene u Britaniji odmah su rasprodane, a dodatnu popularnost donijela im je suradnja s brendom Drake’s.
Tenisice u stilu balerinki
Zaboravite košarku i tenis – balet je nova inspiracija u svijetu lifestyle tenisica. Estetika baletnih papučica s remenčićima i niskim profilom uspješno je prenesena na tenisice, a trend su prihvatili svi.
Glazbenik Bad Bunny dodatno je popularizirao ovaj stil svojim adidas Ballerina modelom, no nije bio prvi. Puma Speedcat je ranije dobio baletni redizajn, a brendovi poput Salomona već dugo crpe inspiraciju iz baleta za modele kao što je RX Marie-Jeanne. Ako vas je dosad zaobilazio Mary Jane trend, ovo je savršen sportski uvod.

Mumbai, July 27: Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar believes that overnight batters KL Rahul and captain Shubman Gill will need to regroup and find their rhythm again when they come to bat on the fifth day at Old Trafford. After losing Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudharsan early in their second innings without a single run on the board, Rahul and Gill showed maturity and courage to negate the threat of batting collapse on Saturday. IND vs ENG 4th Test 2025: Sunil Gavaskar Questions Shubman Gill’s Playing XI Selection Against England, Says ‘India Captain Didn’t Want Shardul Thakur; Wanted Kuldeep Yadav’.
The duo added 174-run partnership before the close of play, significantly reducing England’s lead to 137 runs. Rahul was unbeaten on 87, while Gill stayed not out on 78 and will have a big task upfront to take India towards a draw.
“There are two crucial phases today. The first is the opening 30 minutes of the day – after an overnight break, even set batters need to regroup and get back into rhythm. Both KL Rahul and Shubman Gill are capable of doing that, but it will still be a test,” Manjrekar said on JioHotstar.
The veteran added that the duo will have a big threat from the second new ball, which is 17 overs away for the bowling side.
“The second big moment is when the second new ball becomes available after 17 overs. That will be a significant challenge. I still believe this partnership has to do the job for India. Beyond this pair, I wouldn’t be too hopeful,” Manjrekar added. IND vs ENG 4th Test 2025: KL Rahul, Shubman Gill on Verge of Landmark Centuries As Manchester Test Enters Final Day.
Manjrekar lauded Gill and Rahul for their temperament and adaptability under pressure. “Let’s not forget – these are IPL stars, T20 batters. On any given day, if they had to hit three sixes off someone like Liam Dawson, both of them have the ability to do it. But to curb that instinct and do the exact opposite – to dig deep and bat with such restraint – is what I’ve admired throughout this series.
“I did wonder whether they had the mental reserve for it, especially KL Rahul, who has scored runs in virtually every innings. And yet, he’s still been able to find that resolve to just bat for time. It’s been incredible. Whatever the result on Day 5, hats off to the approach these young Indian batters have shown. Shubman Gill, for example – his strike rate was 67 before tea and dropped to 29 post-tea. That tells a great story. Regardless of the outcome, this is something India should be really proud of,” he said.
Former England batter Jonathan Trott highlighted the physical and mental endurance shown by Gill after a taxing day in the field. Kapil Dev Comments on Shubman Gill’s Captaincy During IND vs ENG 4th Test 2025, Says ‘He Is a New Captain; Will Learn a Great Deal During England Series’.
“That’s where fitness – both physical and mental – becomes crucial, not just in T20s but especially in Test cricket. Gill scored around 50 before tea and then just 28–29 in the session after – that shows serious mental strength. He has the ability to score quickly when needed, but more importantly, he has the mindset to bat for time and play the situation.”
“When he came out in the second innings – after the chaos of that first over – we saw Shubman Gill, the batter. Maybe that moment helped clear his head. He realised he had to bat time and focus solely on getting his country, his team, into a position to save this game,” he said.

New Delhi [India], July 27 (ANI): As Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to evolve, a new wave of Indian entrepreneurs is finding innovative ways to integrate the techn with traditional tools, transforming everyday experiences into smarter, more efficient solutions.
From note-taking to productivity, these startups are reimagining the familiar through the lens of technology.
Their efforts are not only capturing the attention of users but are also gaining recognition from government bodies and international platforms alike, marking India’s growing presence in the global innovation landscape.
Many of such solutions were showcased in the recently concluded 25th edition of Gifts World Expo in the national capital.
Hyderabad-based ReNote AI, which has built smart reusable notebooks integrated with an AI-powered mobile app that transforms handwritten notes into editable, searchable digital text, says that the expo is benefiting it in getting new customers, and interestingly, the enquiries are proving to be the new use cases for its engineering and design team.
Suman Balabommu, Founder of the ReNoteAI said, “So when we are exhibiting here, multiple people came up with multiple use cases. So I got that opportunity and several use cases too.”
Recognised by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and Google among the top 100 Indian Mobile apps, the startup has also showcased its innovation at the Gulf Information Technology Exhibition (GITEX) Dubai and the Osaka World Expo.
Speaking about what attracts foreign buyers to the company’s solution, Balabommu said that scientific studies have proven that writing on paper improves focus, memory, and creativity. ReNote AI preserves these benefits while eliminating the limitations of traditional notebooks. Inspired by these very findings, we are gaining recognition on global platforms, he added.
“Compared to India, the other countries are more giving preference. So, they saw the very good opportunities there when I exhibited in Dubai. Many of the people are ready to invest in the products and to expand the business in UAE and all,” Balabommu added.
ReNote AI’s reusable smart notebook, powered by AI cloud syncing, reduces paper waste and keeps your notes safe for a lifetime, while being environmentally conscious.
“ReNote AI is not just a product; it’s a movement to bring back a culture of mindful, healthy, and sustainable writing,” he added.
ReNote AI utilises AI to convert handwriting into text in real-time and provides AI-powered summaries for instant insights. With instant multi-language translation, auto-task and calendar syncing, and sketch-to-image generation through generative AI, among many use cases, Indian startups are exhibiting their growing quest to integrate AI with traditional tools.

Figuring Out with Raj Shamani
There’s a certain calm in Raj Shamani’s demeanour, eyes fixated on the person opposite him, as if reading his guest in silence. His podcast room is put together minimally, a table with speakers on both ends and a few book shelves on the dark painted walls, to keep the focus on the conversations. Shamani sits across casually, as if in for an informal conversation over coffee, no matter who the guest is. Perhaps that is why when he dropped the ‘podcast of the decade’ he remained unflinched even as India’s most wanted personality—Vijay Mallya—sat in front of him, answering questions that have remained unanswered for years. The podcast garnered 26 million views and is one of the longest podcasts stretching to four hours. Shamani manages to do what Indian media and even the government couldn’t do in more than a decade—get Mallya to talk about his side of the story. This episode becomes a turning point not only in Shamani’s career but also in the overflooding podcast genre where everyone is a podcaster and content is being supplied more than it is being demanded.
In a world where content creators are churning out content minus quality and relevance, Shamani’s YouTube channel has the biggest leaders in the industry sharing their stories and discussing facts rather than fluff—the reason why the likes of Bill Gates, Martin Garrix, entrepreneur Viraj Bahl, Anupam Kher, Aamir Khan did not hesitate for a bit to sit down over long conversations with Shamani. In seven years, he has managed to churn out relevant episodes with hundreds of guests week after week, strengthening his following among the audiences.

The combined market valuation of 6 of the top-10 most valued firms diminished by ₹2.22 lakh crore last week, with Reliance Industries taking the biggest hit, in-line with a bearish trend in equities.
Last week, the BSE benchmark gauge declined by 294.64 points or 0.36 per cent.
“Markets ended lower for the fourth straight week as caution prevailed amid mixed cues. The market’s direction was initially influenced by earnings announcements, with the banking sector showing strength due to positive results from HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank. However, a dip in stocks like Reliance capped the recovery.
“Furthermore, foreign fund outflows and uncertainty over trade deals ahead of the August 1 deadline kept volatility high,” Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd, said.
From the top-10 pack, Reliance Industries, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys, Bajaj Finance, Hindustan Unilever and Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) suffered a combined erosion of ₹2,22,193.17 crore from their market valuation.

The valuation of Reliance Industries tumbled ₹1,14,687.7 crore to ₹18,83,855.52 crore, the most among the top-10 firms.
Infosys faced an erosion of ₹29,474.56 crore to ₹6,29,621.56 crore from its market capitalisation (mcap).
The valuation of LIC tanked ₹23,086.24 crore to ₹5,60,742.67 crore and that of TCS dropped by ₹20,080.39 crore to ₹11,34,035.26 crore.

Cut the noodles and assemble: When the mung bean jelly mixture is set, remove it from its container by placing a large plate or cutting board over the container and carefully flip. Grate noodles from the set jelly by using a noodle scraper or the largest holes of a box grater. Alternatively, you can cut thin strips with a knife.
Put a handful (about 1 cup) of noodles on each plate. For each serving, pour over a few tablespoons of the vinaigrette and garnish with cilantro leaves, blossoms (if using), peanuts, cucumbers, chile threads and scallions.

7 Ways Believers Are Free to Choose
Dr. Caroline Leaf teaches, “The process of thinking and choosing is the most powerful thing in the universe after God and it is a phenomenal gift from God to be treasured and used properly.”
We can choose life-giving or destructive thoughts. Paul, New Testament missionary and writer, exhorts, “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things” (Philippians 4:8 NIV). He wouldn’t urge us to do this if it were impossible. This teaching shows us we have the power to choose to think about these things instead of lies, ugliness, impurity, hate, and malice.
Paul also writes that we should, “take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5b, NIV). This choice is amazing. We don’t have to be trapped in destructive, spiraling thought patterns. It’s not easy and takes time, work, and, often, help from others. But we can decide to change our thought patterns, and when we do, it changes our brains (Dr. Caroline Leaf, Switch On Your Brain).
Each morning, as we wake up, we choose our first thoughts. We can decide to praise God or moan and complain. As we go through the day and negative thoughts attack, we can stop, look at them, and replace them with truth and beauty.
2. Gratitude
We can choose each day to be thankful for all we have instead of focusing on what we don’t have and being discontent. There’s extensive research on the power of gratitude by both scientists and Christian writers.
Paul teaches, “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 5:18 NIV). We can choose to be thankful. If someone is caught in a cycle of negativity, it may take time and work, but it can be overcome. Begin by being grateful for just one thing. Write it down, or say it aloud.
Another challenge is to make a list today of five things you’re grateful for, and tomorrow add five more. If we do this each day, we begin to grow in gratitude for God’s gifts.
Author Ann Voskamp beautifully wrote, “No amount of regret changes the past. No amount of anxiety changes the future. Any amount of gratitude changes the present.”

An urban explorer has uncovered a hauntingly preserved resort town in Japan, where towering hotels sit crumbling along a riverside cliff. It’s been untouched for over three decades, according to reports.
Luke Bradburn, 28, stumbled upon the forgotten tourist destination of Kinugawa Onsen during a trip to Japan in early 2024.
While his original goal was to document the Fukushima exclusion zone, Bradburn ventured beyond the area and found a “ghost town.”

“I was scouting other nearby locations when I came across this entire district of abandoned hotels,” Bradburn told news agency SWNS.
“It was like walking into a ghost town.”

Kinugawa Onsen was once a bustling resort town renowned for its natural hot springs. It began to decline in the early 1990s during Japan’s economic downturn.
As tourism dried up, many hotels shuttered.
But due to the country’s strict property laws, the buildings were never demolished. Many remain in legal limbo after owners either died without heirs or disappeared altogether, according to SWNS.
“It was like walking into a ghost town.”
“It’s very different in Japan,” Bradburn said.
“The crime rate is so low that abandoned buildings don’t get looted or destroyed as quickly.”

He added, “In some cases, they need the owner’s permission to demolish, and if the owner died, they legally can’t for 30 years.”
What remains today appears to be an eerie scene, with an entire street of massive, multi-story hotels slowly rotting away.

Bradburn, who is from Greater Manchester and is now a full-time explorer, spent six hours navigating overgrown paths, broken staircases and precarious drop-offs around five or six of the roughly 20 structures, said SWNS.
He would often move between buildings through interconnecting corridors.
“From the outside, it’s all overgrown and decaying,” he said. “But inside, some of the rooms were pristine – like no one had touched them in decades.”
“Some of the rooms were pristine.”
Bradburn found himself in hotel lobbies filled with forgotten remnants of the past – traditional Japanese onsen baths, untouched rooms, even drinks still sitting on tables, the same source reported.
“One of the strangest things was walking into a lobby and seeing a massive taxidermy deer and falcon still standing there,” he recalled.
Bradburn, above, described the “surreal” experience of discovering buildings completely devoid of people but “filled with forgotten remnants of the past.” (Luke Bradburn / SWNS)
“It was bizarre. I’d seen pictures of it online before, and then suddenly we were face to face with it.”
Some spaces felt like time capsules, he said.

“There were floors missing, staircases hanging down, parts where you had to backtrack because everything had collapsed,” he said.

It shouldn’t be surprising if a plate of chicken lababdar tastes delicious. The dish is among my favorite North Indian gravies, a slightly edgier cousin of butter chicken that’s a bit spicier and tangier but just as creamy.
What was surprising was that this particular chicken had arrived in the mail. Specifically, it came in a microwaveable tray from CookUnity meal delivery service that looked a little like a white-label TV dinner—packed up earlier that morning in Seattle, then driven down to me in Portland, Oregon.
The world of prepared meal delivery is erupting in popularity as of late, and pretty much every major meal kit service is getting in on the game. I have nonetheless learned to temper my expectations when testing ready-to-eat meals. It’s not easy to make pre-assembled meals taste good, even if they were good when they started. The problem is moisture. And the problem is the microwave. In many cases, the results have been OK to subpar.

But so far, CookUnity looks to be a big exception. CookUnity is a somewhat new model of prepared meal delivery service, something like a cross between a meal service and Doordash. Rather than make recipes in a top-down corporate kitchen, CookUnity is regional. The service enlists local and national chefs, and promises to bring restaurant-quality meals to the home—prepared according to recipes from occasionally quite big names. (Hello, Jose Garces.)
My chicken lababdar in particular was a lovely success. The saffron-tinged basmati rice maintained its moisture. My bits of thigh were plump and still juicy. The sauce was lightly tangy, a little fiery, with most of its sweetness coming from the natural sugars of tomato and puree. Quite frankly, it tasted a lot better than the chicken dishes I could get from the (admittedly not great) Punjabi restaurant down the street from my house. And yet prep was just a matter of popping my tray in the toaster oven for 12 minutes, or in the microwave for three.
Not every dish from CookUnity was as good as the lababdar from Seattle chef Gaurav Raj. More on that later. But in its ambition, its pool of culinary talent, and its diversity of dishes—Haitian! Indonesian! Filipino!—CookUnity is the best ready-to-eat meal delivery service I’ve yet tested or tasted.
Here’s the rundown, and the important caveats.
How CookUnity Works
Courtesy of CookUnity
So first, the bad news: CookUnity isn’t available everywhere. The meal service is run out of eight regional commissary hubs around the United States and Canada: Seattle, LA, Austin, Chicago, New York, Atlanta, Miami, and Toronto. This leaves out West Virginia, and a good swath of the Plains states.
TIJEKOM posljednjih nekoliko godina sve se češće govori o prehrani koja istovremeno čuva naše zdravlje i planet. Znanstvenici i stručnjaci ističu da promjena prehrambenih navika ne utječe samo na tjelesnu težinu i razinu energije, već i na dugoročni rizik od ozbiljnih bolesti. Ipak, ključ nije u strogom odricanju nego u tome što češće biramo i koliko dosljedno.
Dakle, radi se o “planetarno zdravoj prehrani” (engl. planetary health diet) – modelu koji je 2019. razvila EAT-Lancet komisija, s ciljem očuvanja ljudskog zdravlja i održivosti okoliša. U praksi to znači da prehrana sadrži pretežno biljne namirnice: voće, povrće, cjelovite žitarice, mahunarke, orašaste plodove i zdrave masnoće. Male količine ribe, peradi i mliječnih proizvoda također su uključene, dok su dodani šećeri, prerađeno meso i rafinirane žitarice svedeni na minimum.
“U ovoj prehrani većina proteina dolazi iz biljnih izvora”, pojašnjavaju znanstvenici, prenosi EatingWell.
“Ne morate odmah drastično mijenjati način prehrane”
U velikoj analizi koja je obuhvatila više od 200.000 ljudi iz UK Biobanke, znanstvenici su otkrili da svako povećanje usklađenosti s “planetarno zdravom prehranom” smanjuje rizik od smrtnosti za tri posto i rizik od raka pluća za devet posto.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Nisu pronašli značajnu povezanost s bolestima srca, no napominju da je udio ispitanika koji su doista slijedili ovaj način prehrane bio relativno nizak. To znači da su rezultati obećavajući, ali ih treba tumačiti s oprezom.
Unatoč ograničenjima studije, stručnjaci naglašavaju brojne prednosti povećanog unosa biljnih namirnica – od jačanja crijevne mikrobiote i smanjenja upala do boljeg unosa vlakana, antioksidansa i zdravih masnoća. “Ne morate odmah drastično mijenjati način prehrane – počnite s malim koracima, poput orašastih plodova i voća kao međuobroka”, poručuju autori.
“Planetarno zdrava prehrana”, kako pokazuju i druge studije, može biti jednostavan i učinkovit način za dugoročnu dobrobit – i našeg tijela i planeta.

AKO TRAŽITE inteligentnog, zanimljivog i odanog kućnog ljubimca, ptice su izvrstan izbor. Mnoge vrste iznimno su pametne, sposobne rješavati zagonetke, igrati se, izvoditi trikove, pa čak i oponašati ljudski govor. Ipak, neke se vrste posebno ističu svojom voljom za učenjem i interakcijom. Donosimo pregled sedam fascinantnih vrsta ptica koje najbrže uče nove trikove i riječi.
Ara
Are, koje potječu iz južnoameričkih prašuma, spadaju među najveće i najšarenije papige. Zbog svoje veličine, koja može doseći i 80 cm, zahtijevaju puno prostora za slobodno letenje. Poznate su po snažnoj povezanosti s vlasnicima, s kojima mogu živjeti i do 100 godina uz pravilnu njegu. Njihovo perje dolazi u kombinacijama grimizne, plave i žute boje, a oko očiju imaju karakterističnu bijelu kožu.
Afrička siva papiga
Afričke sive papige ili žakoi, često smatrane najinteligentnijim pticama na svijetu, oduševljavaju svojim pamćenjem i bogatim emocionalnim životom. Upravo zbog toga trebaju vlasnika koji im može posvetiti puno vremena za svakodnevnu socijalizaciju. Ove ptice narastu do 33 cm, a prepoznatljive su po sivom perju i jarko crvenom repu. Životni vijek kreće im se od 50 do 80 godina.
Amazonski papagaj
Amazonski papagaji poznati su po svojoj ljepoti, ali i kao izvanredni govornici. Mogu naučiti puno riječi i često imaju jasniji izgovor od drugih vrsta. Vrlo su društveni i umiljati te traže puno pažnje. Postoji više od 15 podvrsta koje se razlikuju po bojama na glavi, dok im je tijelo uglavnom zeleno. Dostižu dužinu od 33 do 38 cm.
Kakadu
Kakadui su iznimno drage, nježne i inteligentne papige podrijetlom iz Australije. Stvaraju čvrste veze s vlasnicima i mogu patiti od emocionalnog stresa ako se osjećaju zanemareno. Ako ste im spremni posvetiti potrebnu pažnju, dobit ćete izvrsnog partnera koji s lakoćom uči. Uglavnom su bijele boje, s nešto žutog perja ispod krila, a narastu do 46 cm.

Tigrica
Tigrice su dokaz da i male ptice mogu biti iznimno pametne. Ove male ptice, duge tek 18 cm, iznenađuju svojom inteligencijom i sposobnošću učenja. Mogu naučiti govoriti jednako dobro kao i veće papige te izvoditi zabavne trikove. Iako su malene, zahtijevaju dugoročnu predanost vlasnika. U prirodi su zelene, no uzgojem su dobivene plave, sive, bijele i druge kombinacije boja.
Agapornis
Ove male papige vrlo su inteligentne i znatiželjne. Izvrsne su u rješavanju zagonetki i brzom učenju, zbog čega su vješte u bijegu iz kaveza. Iako nisu poznate kao velike pričalice, mogu naučiti neke vokalizacije ako se s njima radi odmalena.
Kanarinac
Kanarinci, podrijetlom s Kanarskih otoka, poznati su po prekrasnom pjevu. Iako su u početku plašljivi, mogu se pripitomiti i naučiti interakciji. Uz malo strpljenja, kanarinac će vam sletjeti na prst, letjeti po sobi i vraćati vam se na poziv. Najčešće su jarko žute boje, ali mogu biti i bjelkasti ili crvenkasti.
Kako odabrati pravu pticu?
Iako su neke vrste genetski sklonije učenju, važno je procijeniti svaku pticu pojedinačno. Njezin interes za učenjem i vokalizacijom uvelike ovisi o okolini u kojoj je odrasla i genetskim čimbenicima. Ptice koje su odgajali iskusni vlasnici i koje su imale dovoljno poticaja bit će bolji učenici. S druge strane, ptice koje su bile zanemarivane teže uče.

KATIE Holmes trenutačno boravi u New Yorku, gdje snima romantičnu komediju Happy Hours, a njezin stil ponovno privlači pažnju. Na setu je viđena s dizajnerskom torbom koju je kombinirala uz različite outfite, a koja je brzo izazvala zanimanje modnog svijeta. Riječ je o novoj verziji legendarne Chloé Paddington torbe, koja izgledom gotovo u potpunosti odgovara originalu iz 2005.
Torba ima opušteni boho oblik i prepoznatljiv veliki lokot na patentnom zatvaraču, baš kao i izvorni model koji je početkom 2000-ih postao jedan od najpoželjnijih modnih dodataka tog desetljeća.
Prvi put lansirana 2005., torba je odmah postala statusni simbol – masivan dizajn, luksuzna koža i karakteristični lokot učinili su je prepoznatljivom, a nosile su je gotovo sve it djevojke tog vremena. Novi model, u dizajnu Chemene Kamali, zadržava izgled originala, ali je blago osvježen za novu generaciju.
Torba stiže na jesen
Holmes je nosila crnu verziju, a prema onome što se moglo vidjeti na jesenskoj Chloé reviji, nova Paddington torba bit će dostupna i u tamnocrvenoj, tamnoplavoj i zelenoj boji. U prodaju stiže na jesen, no već se sada moguće upisati na listu čekanja. Cijena iznosi 2750 američkih dolara, odnosno oko 2340 eura.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Starije verzije ove torbe moguće je pronaći u trgovinama kao što su Farfetch i Vestiare Collective, a cijene se kreću oko 1000 eura i više.

With news coming in throughout the week, it can be difficult to sift out the important updates from the noise. To keep readers up to date, we’ve compiled the Weekly Tech Recap, where we take a look at the top news that shook up the world of technology. This week, Apple released the first public beta for iOS 26, GitHub launched its natural language app creation tool, new leaks revealed GPT-5 launch date and more
Top tech news of the week:
1) Apple releases iOS 26 update:
Afte releasing four rounds of developer beta update for its latest iOS 26 software, Apple finally released its latest first publica beta this week giving a look at the new Liquid Glass interface along with a number of other features.
While the Cupertino-based tech giant rolled out the iOS 26 Developer Beta almost immediately after its WWDC keynote, public betas are typically released in July after Apple addresses initial issues. The company rolled out the fourth developer beta for iPad and iPhone earlier this week as well.
Notably, developer betas are primarily meant for app developers and advanced users, giving them time to test their apps ahead of the official release. Meanwhile, public betas are aimed at a wider audience, allowing them to try out pre-release iOS versions to identify bugs and provide feedback. Public betas are usually a few versions behind developer betas, suggesting they should be more stable.
2) GitHub launches Spark AI to create apps with natural language:
While GitHub has been slowly adding AI-powered features for developers over the last couple of years, the Microsoft-owned company has gone a step further with its latest feature called GitHub Spark, which allows users to create an app by simply giving prompts in natural language.
The new feature, currently an experiment under the GitHub Next labs, gives users the choice between using an OpenAI GPT model or a Claude Sonnet model. Notably, while OpenAI has tuned its latest models for developers, Claude’s Sonnet models continue to generate buzz in developer circles for their technical reasoning and debugging abilities.
With Spark, GitHub allows users to quickly build a small web app or ‘micro app’ using natural language. Unlike other GitHub tools, Spark doesn’t just generate code for the app but also runs it and displays an interactive preview that can be further refined through additional prompts.
3) Sam Altman warns about using ChatGPT as therapist:
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has sounded alarm bells around sharing too much personal data with an AI system, given that there are currently no frameworks in place to safeguard a user’s privacy. Notably, there has been a growing trend among young AI users to share their personal problems with AI chatbots, seeking relationship, life, or legal advice, largely because these generative AI systems have access to a wide knowledge base.
Speaking on a podcast with Theo Von, Altman said, “I think we will certainly need a legal or a policy framework for AI. One example that we’ve been thinking about a lot this is like a maybe not quite what you’re asking this is like a very human centric version of that question people talk about the most personal shit in their lives to ChatGPT it’s you know people use it young people especially like use it as a therapist a life coach uh having these relationship problems, what should I do? And right now, if you talk to a therapist or a lawyer or a doctor about those problems, there’s like legal privilege for it, you know, like it’s there’s doctor patient confidentiality, there’s legal confidentiality”
4) OpenAI could launch GPT-5 next month:
OpenAI’s much awaited GPT-5 model could finally make its debut in early August, according to a report by The Verge. GPT-5 will be the latest model running the company’s ChatGPT AI bot and will be the first ever LLM from it to come with unified reasoning capabilites.
Sam Altman had recently announced in a post on X that GPT-5 will be launching soon. The OpenAI CEO made the announcement in an announcement about an AI model from the company that achieved gold level performance at the 2025 IMO competiton. However, he noted that GPT-5 won’t have IMO gold level capabilities for ‘many months’.
In a recent podcast Altman teased new capabilites of GPT-5 noting that the model helped him answer a difficult email that he should have been able to do but couldn’t.
5) Starlink suffers global outage:
Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet service suffered a major global outage this week that left tens of thousands of users across the US, UK, Germany, Zimbabwe, Romania, and beyond without internet access for over two hours on Thursday.
The disruption, which lasted approximately 2.5 hours, may be one of the longest recorded outages in Starlink’s operational history. The incident occurred just one day after the company revealed a new T-Satellite rollout in partnership with T-Mobile, designed to extend connectivity to remote areas.
At San Diego Comic-Con, Percy Jackson and the Olympians co-creator Rick Riordan announced the series’ second season’s release date. It will drop on December 10 on Disney+ (JioHotstar in India). Besides, Riordan disclosed that Levi Chrisopulos and Olive Abercrombie will portray Nico di Angelo and Bianca, respectively, as the series’ third season is all set to commence production. Walker Scobell, Aryan Simhadri, Leah Sava Jeffries, Charlie Bushnell, Daniel Diemer, and Dior Goodjohn star in the second season.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2 is an adaptation of The Sea of Monsters, the second instalment in Riordan’s book series. It will explore the goings-on following the breach of the protective border at Camp Half-Blood, with Percy setting off on an endeavour to find the Golden Fleece, which can save the camp, and save Grover from the Sea of Monsters. With Percy joining hands with his half-sibling Tyson, Annabeth, and Clarisse, his survival becomes paramount to thwart the Titan Kronos and Luke’s scheme to destroy the camp and Olympus.
Co-creator Jonathan E Steinberg serves as an executive producer on the series, alongside Dan Shotz, Rick Riordan, Craig Silverstein, Rebecca Riordan, Ellen Goldsmith-Vein of The Gotham Group, Bert Salke, Jeremy Bell of The Gotham Group, DJ Goldberg, Jim Rowe, James Bobin, Jason Ensler, Sarah Watson, and Albert Kim.
Amagi Media Labs Limited, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) company, has filed the draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with capital markets regulator SEBI to raise funds through an initial public offering (IPO).
According to the DRHP, the proposed IPO combines a fresh issue of equity shares aggregating up to ₹1,020 crore with an offer for sale (OFS) of up to 3,41,88,542 equity shares (3.41 crore equity shares) by the selling shareholders.
Founded in 2008 by its promoters Baskar Subramanian, Managing Director & CEO, Srividhya Srinivasan, Chief Technology Officer; and Arunachalam Srinivasan Karapattu, President—Global Business, is backed by leading venture capital firms, including Accel, Avataar Ventures, Norwest Venture Partners, and Premji Invest. The company works with more than 45 per cent of the top 50 listed ‘media and entertainment’ companies by revenue.
As part of the OFS, the Investor Selling Shareholders – PI Opportunities Fund I, PI Opportunities Fund II, Norwest Venture Partners X – Mauritius, Accel India VI (Mauritius) Ltd., Accel Growth VI Holdings (Mauritius) Ltd., Trudy Holdings, AVP I Fund, and certain Individual Selling Shareholders will be offloading shares.
Amagi proposes to utilise the net proceeds of the fresh Issue towards investment in technology and cloud infrastructure (₹667 crore) and funding inorganic growth through unidentified acquisitions and general corporate purposes.
On the financial front, Amagi reported revenue from operations of ₹1,162 crore in FY25, recording a compound annual growth rate of 30.70 per cent from FY2023 to FY2025, driven by new customer acquisition and increased use of the platform by existing customers. Amagi’s adjusted EBITDA margin improved significantly to 2.02 per cent in FY25, compared to (17.69%) in FY24 and (20.62 per cent) in FY23.
The company, in consultation with the BRLMs, may consider a pre-IPO Placement aggregating up to ₹204 crore prior to filing of the Red Herring Prospectus with the ROC. If the pre- IPO Placement is undertaken, then the fresh issue will be reduced to the extent of such pre-IPO placement.
Kotak Mahindra Capital Company Limited, Citigroup Global Markets India Private Limited, Goldman Sachs (India) Securities Private Limited, IIFL Capital Services Limited, and Avendus Capital Private Limited are the Book Running Lead Managers to the issue.
The equity shares of the company are proposed to be listed on BSE and NSE.

Here is the challenge we set out for the chefs of some of our favorite restaurants: Come up with a recipe that demonstrates chef skills and creativity but is still simple enough for an average home cook to make.
That’s not necessarily easy for chefs with regular access to specialty ingredients, a team of prep cooks and dishwashers to do the chopping and cleanup, plus years of training that enable them to handle complex kitchen tasks with ease. But with a little persistence we were able to get some of L.A.’s best chefs plus a few others to answer the call. You can watch the results in our ongoing “Chef That!” video series — as in chef that grilled cheese sandwich or date night pasta or ice cream sundae.
Collected here are some of the best summertime recipes from our “Chef That!” series along with tips we learned when the chefs cooked for us in The Times Test Kitchen. Sang Yoon of Helms Bakery and Father’s Office, for instance, shows us the best way to peel a jammy egg. Andrew and Michelle Muñoz of Moo’s Craft Barbecue show us how to make ribs with outdoor smoker flavor in a home oven. Vespertine and Meteora chef Jordan Kahn gives us advice on brining meat. Dave Beran, chef of Seline and Pasjoli, shows us the best way to caramelize onions. And Anajak Thai’s Justin Pichetrungsi shares the secret ingredient that makes his fried food so good.
We also gain insights into how chefs bring restaurant touches to classic recipes. Kismet chefs Sara Kramer and Sarah Hymanson use pickles to add a pop of acidity to a cheesy dip. For macaroni and cheese pie, Bridgetown Roti’s Rashida Holmes changes up the noodles, cheeses and spices. 88 Club’s Mei Lin uses not only cilantro leaves but the blossoms and stems in her cold mung bean noodles. And chefs Brian Bornemann of Crudo e Nudo and Brian Dunsmoor make the case that shrimp stock should be a home cook staple.
These recipes — for ceviche, sandwiches, noodles, ribs and luscious desserts — will not only make your summer entertaining easier, they show off the best of restaurant and home cooking.

Hotel rooms may look sparkling clean when you first arrive – but surprising levels of bacteria and viruses can be lurking in overlooked places.
Beyond the usual suspects such as sinks and toilets, common “touchpoints” like remotes and light switches are also crawling with germs, studies say.
Hotel rooms had up to 10 times more bacteria – including fecal strains – than are allowed in hospitals, a University of Houston study found.
THE GROSS REASON AIRPLANE PASSENGERS MIGHT WANT TO AVOID USING THE WATER ON FLIGHT
The staff at hotels often spend just 30 minutes tidying and cleaning each room. They may skip decorative items entirely, Enza Laterrenia, head of housekeeping at Canne Bianche Lifestyle Hotel in Italy, told Travel & Leisure.
Here’s a list of spots that can be teeming with germs, experts warn — and the steps you should take as soon as you arrive in your hotel room.
1. Decorative elements
In hotel rooms, the decorative runners along the foot of the bed could be full of germs. The same goes for the duvet covers. (iStock)
“Having worked in hotels, the first thing I fling off to a far corner of the room are decorative pillows and any decorative runner that goes along the foot of the bed,” Maria Diego, a San Diego, California-based travel adviser, told the travel magazine.
“These never get washed.”
WOMAN RIPS INTO ‘STUPID SHOWERS AT HOTELS’ AND THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR DESIGNING THEM
Duvet covers can also be a collecting place for germs.
“Most hotels do not wash the big duvet. They only wash the sheets,” a former hotel staffer noted on Reddit last year.
2. High-touch surfaces
Diego said she is also cautious about switches, remote controls, phones and other major touchpoints.

Los Angeles travel adviser Rani Cheema said hotel room phones disgust her the most.
“I am grossed out by the receiver,” Cheema said. “No one’s cleaning that.”
HOTELS CAN NO LONGER HIDE THIS ONE THING FROM TRAVELERS
Carpets are another culprit.
Many high-end hotels are now swapping them out for flooring or area rugs, according to Cheema.
3. Bathtubs
Hotel bathrooms are even dirtier than airplanes, studies have found – especially the countertops.

But the tub is also infested with germs, harboring up to 40 times more bacteria than a toilet seat, according to a 2023 investigation by WaterFilterGuru.com.
“I also won’t take a bath in a hotel unless it’s a super-luxe five-star hotel, and only if it’s a non-jet bathtub,” Diego said.

Jetted tubs can harbor more bacteria and aren’t always disinfected fully, according to experts.
4. Overlooked and hard-to-reach spots
Ceiling fans, curtain rods, shower heads and other such spots are often neglected, according to Laterrenia of Canne Bianche Lifestyle Hotel.

“When I enter a room and notice a dusty charging port next to the bed or a bedside lamp caked in residue, that tells me the basics may have been done, but the details were missed,” Carter told Fox News Digital.
5. Glasses and ice buckets
Housekeeping staff have been found to wipe down glassware between guests’ stays – not replace it, according to reports.
“Personally, I never use mugs or glasses in the room without rinsing them out first,” Carter said.
Glassware in hotel rooms isn’t always replaced by housekeeping staff. Guests should clean these items themselves before using them. (iStock)
“I usually boil water in the kettle and give each item a thorough rinse.”
“It’s not about fear, it’s about good habits,” she added.
Ice buckets should have a liner.

During one norovirus outbreak at a hotel, guests vomited in ice buckets, contributing to the spread, Brian Labus, an associate professor of epidemiology at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, told Travel and Leisure last year.

Ice buckets should have a liner, experts say.
Otherwise, consider packing your own drinkware and a small cooler with ice.

The Indian Army has released the Agniveer CEE result 2025. Candidates can access it on the official website, joinindianarmy.nic.in and download the respective PDF. The result has been posted in roll number-wise format for many categories.
Indian Army Agniveer CEE Result 2025: Here’s how to download
- Go to the official website joinindianarmy.nic.in.
2. Tap on “CEE Results”, under the “JCO/OR/Agniveer Enrollment”.
3. The new page will display information like Serial Number, Zonal Recruiting Office (ZRO) and Army Recruiting Office (ARO), Subject and Download option.
4. Candidates may access the result accordingly.
5. Save and take a printout of the result for later purposes.
Indian Army Agniveer CEE Result 2025 schedule
The Agniveer CEE was held in 13 languages: English, Hindi, Malyalam, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Punjabi, Odiya, Bengali, Urdu, Gujarati, Assamese and Marathi for several posts comprising General Duty (GD), Technical, Clerk, Store Keeper Technical, Tradesman, Sainik Pharma, Sainik Technical Nursing Assistant and Mahila Police from June 30 to July 10, 2025.
The Agniveer 2025 recruitment process, aiming to fill approximately 25,000 vacancies, began on March 12 this year, with the admit card for the Common Entrance Examination (CEE) issued on June 16.
The Agniveer CEE was an objective-type examination consisting of multiple-choice questions (MCQs). Depending on the application category, candidates were required to attempt either 50 questions in one hour or 100 questions in two hours.
“The selection process will comprise an online entrance examination, followed by a recruitment rally for candidates selected in the merit list,” HT quoted a defence spokesperson as saying.
Indian Army Agniveer CEE Result 2025: Phase 2 process
Phase II of the Agniveer recruitment process, known as Rally and Screening, involves several stages to assess the candidates’ physical and mental fitness, as well as verify their eligibility. It begins with the Physical Fitness Test (PFT), which includes a 1.6 km run, push-ups, sit-ups, and pull-ups to evaluate endurance and strength. This is followed by the Physical Measurement Test (PMT), where candidates are measured for height, weight, and chest size according to the required standards.
Next is a comprehensive Medical Examination to ensure the candidate is medically fit for service. Document Verification is then conducted to authenticate educational qualifications, age, identity, and category certificates. In some cases, an Adaptability Test is also administered to assess the candidate’s psychological readiness and ability to adjust to the military lifestyle.
Honorable Mentions
Now that the majority of new headphones and earbuds offer at least a modicum of noise canceling, it’d be impossible (and unproductive) to list everything we like above. If you haven’t yet found your fit, here are more favorites worth considering.
Beyerdynamic Amiron 300 for $280: These simple-looking earbuds (8/10, WIRED Recommends) are a great way to experience quiet luxury. They have 10 hours of battery life with noise canceling engaged, and they have some of the best-sounding drivers for vocals I’ve heard in any earbuds.
Sony WF-1000XM5 earbuds for $298: Sony’s fifth-generation flagship earbuds (7/10, WIRED Recommends) slim down while stepping up. These buds are smaller and slicker (maybe too slick when it comes to grabbing them) than the previous XM4 buds. As before, they provide great sound and noise canceling that outduels plenty of options, with a cost to match. In true Sony style, they serve up a truckload of adaptive features and EQ controls while retaining a solid eight hours of playback time per charge with ANC and 12 hours without it. —Ryan Waniata
Soundcore Life Q30 for $60-85: Anker’s Soundcore line is nothing if not value-conscious, and the Life Q30 provide an embarrassing list of extras for their bargain-basement pricing. You’ll get clear and warm sound, great features, tons of battery life, and noise canceling that gets the job done even on a long flight, though it can’t keep up with flagship pairs. It’s hard to complain when they cost hundreds less, especially with sale pricing that sometimes drops to around $50.
Sony WH-1000XM4 for $250-350: Sony’s WH-1000X lineup has produced some of the best noise-canceling headphones for nearly a decade, and the aging WH-1000XM4 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) are no exception. They periodically go on sale for under $300, but it’s getting harder to find them below full price, which is tough for a five-year-old model.
Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 Earbuds for $400: Bowers & Wilkins’ Pi8 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) offer a sleek, comfortable design, solid (albeit not Bose-beating) noise canceling, and great sound. Call quality is also excellent, which makes these perhaps the perfect business-class earbuds, though their hefty price won’t appeal to everyone.
Bowers and Wilkins PX7 S2e for $400: The Px7 S2e feature upgraded audio quality for fantastic sound in stylish and sophisticated design. They’re also among the most comfortable headphones we’ve tested, but their noise canceling doesn’t rise to the level of the top players for the money.
Beyerdynamic Aventho 300 for $400: These over-ears from Beyerdynamic (7/10, WIRED Recommends) have the brand’s classic studio sound, with a tight crisp high range and punchy lows. The downside is that they don’t cancel noise quite as well as models from Sony, Bose, and others above. Still, they sound great and are worth considering, especially if you can snag them on sale.
Soundcore Space A40 for $60: Another top value buy from Anker’s Soundcore brand, the Space A40 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) are some of our favorite cheap earbuds, especially as their price continues to fall. You’ll find a classy design, lots of features, quality sound, and great noise canceling for their class.
Apple Beats Fit Pro for $199: The Beats Fit Pro are an aging but still knockout pair of wireless buds, with great sound, easy-access physical buttons, and solid noise canceling to boot. Add to that six hours of battery life, spatial audio compatibility with Apple Music and other services, and you’ve got one of the best pairs of earbuds ever “designed in California.”
Epos/Sennheiser Adapt 660 for $210: Want excellent sound, a comfortable fit, and high-quality noise-canceling tech for less than what you’d pay for Sony or Bose headphones? Check out this collaboration between Epos and Sennheiser. The Epos/Sennheiser Adapt 660 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) sound fantastic and are some of the lightest noise-canceling headphones I’ve ever worn. They also feature excellent microphones for great silence on calls and Zooms.

SVI SE PONEKAD osjećamo tromo ili imamo problema s probavom, ali srećom postoji jednostavan način da potaknemo rad crijeva bez lijekova. Stručnjaci za zdravlje crijeva ističu da svakodnevna rutina može imati velik učinak na redovitost probave, razinu stresa i osjećaj nadutosti. Ključ nije u tome kada to radimo, već koliko često, tvrdi dijetetičarka Amanda Sauceda.
“Baš kao što trebamo biti dosljedni u unosu vlakana, trebamo biti dosljedni i u kretanju”, ističe za EatingWell. Jedna vrsta kretanja posebno se izdvaja kao najbolji izbor za probavu, a toliko je jednostavna da je mnogi često zanemaruju.
Riječ je o hodanju – najjednostavnijoj aktivnosti koja dokazano potiče zdravlje probavnog sustava. “Hodanje stimulira pokrete u crijevima, što pomaže bržem prolasku hrane kroz probavni trakt”, objašnjava nutricionistica i dijetetičarka specijalizirana za zdravlje crijeva Kim Kulp.
Osim toga, uključuje i blagu aktivaciju mišića trbuha, što dodatno olakšava prolazak stolice. “Zbog toga je stolica obično mekša i lakša za izbacivanje”, dodaje.
Hodanje je najlakši i najučinkovitiji korak koji možemo poduzeti
Ova navika također može ublažiti plinove i osjećaj nadutosti. “Preporučujem barem 10 do 15 minuta hodanja nakon obroka kako biste smanjili neugodu i potaknuli pokretljivost crijeva”, kaže dijetetičarka Kaytee Hadley. Osim fizičkih učinaka, hodanje pomaže i kod smanjenja stresa, koji je čest uzrok usporene probave.

“Kratke šetnje tijekom dana mogu pomoći u smanjenju stresa i ponovnom uspostavljanju ravnoteže”, dodaje Sauceda.
Za razliku od intenzivnih treninga koji mogu usporiti probavu, hodanje je lagana aktivnost koja zapravo potiče cirkulaciju u probavnom sustavu. “Hodanje i lagane vježbe poput joge poboljšavaju dotok krvi u crijeva i potiču njihovu pokretljivost”, ističe Hadley.
Uz to, unos dovoljne količine vode, više vlakana, masaža trbuha i ispravna pozicija pri sjedenju na WC-u dodatno mogu pomoći. No kad je riječ o jednostavnim, svakodnevnim navikama koje potiču redovitu probavu – hodanje je i dalje najlakši i najučinkovitiji korak koji možemo poduzeti.

TKO OD NAS ne uživa u dobrom shoppingu? Mnogim ljudima je zadovoljstvo prošetati omiljenom trgovinom i počastiti se nečim što žele. No, čini se da ljudi nisu jedini koji pronalaze radost u kupovini. Jedan preslatki zlatni retriver nedavno je pokazao kako obaviti kupovinu sa stilom.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Na društvenoj mreži TikTok korisnica @ririgirl318 prošli je tjedan objavila video koji je brzo postao viralan. Snimka prikazuje zlatnog retrivera kako izlazi iz trgovine i nosi svoju vrećicu s poslasticama. Pas samouvjereno korača ulicama Bostona i privlači poglede prolaznika. “Ovo je njegov grad”, našalila se @ririgirl318 u opisu objave.
Korisnike TikToka potpuno je očaralo njegovo samopouzdanje. “Ovo je možda najslađa stvar koju sam ikada vidjela”, napisala je jedna korisnica, dok je druga dodala: “Kako je ponosan na sebe.”
“Znam da je dobio sve što je htio”, “Preslatko mi je kako njiše kukovima”, “Opsjednuta sam”, “Ovo mi je uljepšalo dan”, pisali su ostali korisnici.

Mumbai, July 26: All-rounder Tim David credited the hard work behind his power-hitting after delivering a blistering performance, smashing Australia’s fastest T20I century off just 37 balls, as the visitors clinched the series with a dominant chase of 215, winning with 23 balls to spare on a boundary-packed night in St Kitts. Shai Hope notched up his maiden T20I century, anchoring a 125-run opening partnership with Brandon King to power West Indies to a commanding 214 for 4. When Australia stumbled to 87 for 4 in the ninth over, the chase appeared daunting. WI vs AUS 3rd T20I 2025: Tim David’s Record-Shattering Century Sends Shai Hope’s Milestone-Breaking Efforts in Vain.
But David turned the game on its head with a stunning display, smashing Australia’s fastest T20I fifty in just 16 balls and then reaching his century – also the winning shot – with a boundary. His explosive maiden ton featured 11 sixes and rewrote the record books.
Debutant Mitchell Owen made a strong impression as well, hammering 36 off just 16 deliveries and sharing a rapid 128-run stand with David for the fifth wicket in only 46 balls. With a 3-0 lead, Australia will eye a clean sweep in the five-match series with the final two games to be played on July 27 and 29 respectively.
“Absolutely not (when asked if he should be batting higher up in the batting order), just had a great time in the middle, wanting to make the most of every opportunity with the bat. Was really nice to spend time at home, I had picked up a niggle, didn’t think too much, didn’t think I would score a 100 for Australia,” David said in the post-match presentation. Tim David Scores Fastest Fifty for Australia in Men’s T20Is, Achieves Feat off Just 16 Balls During WI vs AUS 3rd T20I 2025.
“The pitch was good and the boundaries were short, I just backed myself to play my shots. You always use your experience of playing here and it came good for me. I’ve worked a lot on my power-hitting, but I’m looking to make the most of my range as a stroke-maker,” the all-rounder added.

Meta is bringing another feature to WhatsApp that will bring its suite of social media apps a little closer. As per a new report by WABetainfo, WhatsApp will soon have an option to import their profile picture from Instagram or Facebok.
The new update was spotted by the publication in the WhatsApp beta for Android version up to 2.25.21.23. The feature has reportedly already been rolled out to some beta testers while more users are expected to get the update in the coming weeks.
WhatsApp’s new profile sync feature:
The feature seems fairly simple where users go their profile settings, click on edit to change their profile picture and see two new options of Instagram and Facebook. Currently, WhatsApp allows users to change their profile picture by either capturing a new one directly from the app, choosing it from gallery, selecting an avatar or generating an AI image but with the new feature they will also get the option to use their Instagram or Facebook profile picture as the display picture on the personal messaging app.
Theoretically, this should streamline the process for some users who may have lost access to a picture that has been set as their display picture on Facebook on Instagram and instead of taking screenshots and reducing the picture quality, they can just sync the picture across their Meta profiles.
As one would imagine using this feature requires a person to first sync their WhatsApp account, Instagram account and Facebook account in the Meta accounts center, if they haven’t done so already. Notably, Meta had started providing the option to add WhatsApp to Meta accounts center earlier this year and since then there have been a number of features to create a more integrated experience for users.
For instance, users can now share their Instagram status directly on their WhatsApp and vice versa while Business users can add a WhatsApp contact button to their Insta profile, directing potential customers to their WhatsApp number directly.
It stars Jaz Sinclair as Marie Moreau, Lizze Broadway as Emma Meyer, Maddie Phillips as Cate Dunlap, London Thor as Jordan Li, Derek Luh as Jordan Li, Asa Germann as Sam Riordan, Sean Patrick Thomas as Polarity and Hamish Linklater as Dean Cipher.
Michele Fazekas serves as showrunner and executive producer.
The series is produced by Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios, in collaboration with Kripke Enterprises, Point Grey Pictures, and Original Film.
Executive producers include Eric Kripke, Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, and Neal H Moritz, among others. The first season of the series premiered on Prime Video in 2023 and consisted of eight episodes.
Amagi Media Labs, which offers cloud-based software as a service (SaaS) solution for broadcast and video content, has filed preliminary papers with SEBI seeking its approval to raise funds through an initial public offering.

A Silver Lake poke destination is back after five years away. Ohana Superette, the casual, daytime-only poke shop from husband-and-wife team Eric and Miriam Park, recently returned with its own space and thoughtful, traditional poke.
“I always try to do my version but not mess with it too much,” chef and co-owner Eric Park said, “and with the poke I just want to keep it super authentic.”

Scoops of ginger-and-soy-marinated tuna, garlicky poached shrimp, macaroni salad and ponzu glass noodles rest on short-grain Koshihikari rice or seaweed salad. The musubi features Spam that’s slow-cooked in brown sugar for an almost brûléed crust. Sides of kimchi are made fresh throughout the day to retain crunch. Each customizable bowl features a rainbow of texture and flavor.
Ohana Superette’s first iteration launched in 2015, inspired by the Parks’ frequent family visits to Hawaii, and the operation ran as half of a dual concept out of their former sandwich shop, Black Hogg. They closed both restaurants in 2020 when the pandemic began, and though they later opened popular cafe Bodega Park in the space, Eric Park said he always wanted to reprise Ohana Superette in its own form.

“Almost every week there were people like, ‘When’s Ohana coming back?’” he said. “And then one month Miriam’s like, ‘Let’s just open Ohana if a space opens up.’”
When the hair salon next door closed and its space became available, the couple jumped at the opportunity. It took two years to permit and flip the salon into a restaurant, even with a pared-down kitchen that doesn’t allow for much cooking. They added wood paneling and marble accents. This time around, Park said, he streamlined the menu with fewer add-ons and toppings in an attempt to keep things more traditional — though a few less-traditional specials might sneak in occasionally. Ohana Superette is open Tuesday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Lasita Kapé
Chinatown’s modern Filipino restaurant is drawing even more crowds to Far East Plaza and filling the courtyard with a new weekend series, Kapé. Lasita owners Nico de Leon and Chase and Steff Valencia recently launched a daytime-only Filipino cafe that riffs on meryenda culture, or as Chase Valencia says, “the art of taking a snack break, social pause, recharge and gossip.”

At Kapé, they’re serving fresh pastries such as pandan olive oil loaf iced with coconut, mango royal reimagined as rolled cake, Gouda-topped slices of ensaymadas combined with mamon, and the classic date-and-walnut “food for the gods” bars done instead as cookies.
Fluffy-egged breakfast sandwiches arrive with cheese and smoky eggplant, longanisa, tocino ham or corned beef on freshly baked pan de leche, while specialty coffee offerings include the likes of affogato with miso condensed-milk ice cream, cappuccino with jackfruit purée and espresso with ube milk. The Valencias and De Leon plan to run Kapé on weekends for the foreseeable future, though an expansion of operations is possible. Kapé is open Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Sogo Roll Bar debuted in 2020 at the edge of East Hollywood and Los Feliz with a 14-seat sushi bar almost solely dedicated to the art of temaki.
In the years since, the menu expanded with donburi and new appetizers. Now the collaborative venture between Sushi Note’s Kiminobu Saito and David Gibbs, and Bar Covell and L&E Oyster Bar’s Dustin Lancaster and Sarah Dietz, expanded with a second outpost, this time in Highland Park. Sogo Roll Bar’s newest outpost offers an identical food menu to the original, and also serves beer, wine and sake. It takes over the former home of Holcomb wine bar, also from Lancaster, and is open Sunday to Thursday from noon to 9 p.m., and Friday to Saturday from noon to 10 p.m.

Bread Head Manhattan Beach
Last year, L.A. Times Food critic Bill Addison called Bread Head “L.A.’s next great sandwich shop.” This summer, it expanded with a location in Manhattan Beach, bringing those fresh focaccia sandwiches practically to the edge of the pier.

Founders and longtime friends Jordan Snyder and Alex Williams — both alums of Trois Mec — began popping up through Los Angeles with stacked sandwiches on crusty-edged bread, then partnered with Joolies founder Greg Willsey and Michael Pasternak (formerly of Night + Market) to launch their first restaurant, in Santa Monica.
Their new location in Manhattan Beach features indoor and outdoor seating, plus a seven-seat bar; that bar, ownership told The Times, will hopefully serve beer and wine eventually. Beachy art and pop culture — such as an autographed still from “Point Break” — line the walls in a nod to the new surroundings, while TVs mean a new place for the neighborhood to watch sports (a feature not found in the original Santa Monica restaurant). A larger kitchen also means a probable expanded hot-foods menu, which could include breakfast and a range of hot sandwiches. Bread Head is open in Manhattan Beach Wednesday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Tesla has publicly staked its future on its robotaxis. Now the company is planning to launch a public car service in the San Francisco Bay Area. Tesla is calling it a “robotaxi” service, but legally, this one will have to use cars with human drivers.
The plan appears to put the electric car maker in murky legal waters in a US state with the country’s most tightly regulated autonomous vehicle industry—and where Tesla is already being sued for misleading language around its driver assistance tech.
On Friday, a spokesperson for the California Public Utilities Commission, which regulates ride-hailing and taxi services in the state, said that Tesla informed the agency Thursday that it planned to expand an employee-only taxi service to friends and family of employees and “select” members of the public. Technically, Tesla is legally in the clear to launch this sort of service in California: In March, it obtained a “Transportation Charter Party” permit to take Tesla employees on prearranged trips with a driver behind the wheel. But Tesla is not legally permitted to operate an autonomous-vehicle-based service there.
“Tesla is not allowed to test or transport the public (paid or unpaid) in an [autonomous vehicle] with or without a driver,” CPUC spokesperson Terrie Prosper wrote in an email. “Tesla is allowed to transport the public (paid or unpaid) in a non-autonomous vehicle, which, of course, would have a driver.”
Business Insider first reported that Tesla told employees that it planned to launch a “robotaxi” service in the Bay Area as early as Friday.
On a Wednesday earnings call with investors, Tesla vice president of AI software Ashok Elluswamy said Tesla is “working with the government to get approval” to launch in the Bay Area. “Meanwhile, we will launch the service with a person in the driver’s seat just to expedite while we wait for regulatory approval,” he said.
Legally, though, Tesla isn’t currently allowed to launch any kind of service with autonomous vehicles, meaning that “person in the driver’s seat” will have to be a driver. Tesla does not have a permit to pilot autonomous vehicle technology even with a safety driver, Prosper says, “so it cannot use a drivered autonomous vehicle in passenger service.”
Tesla appears to be talking out of both sides of its mouth here. The company appears to insist to regulators that it is simply operating a taxi service in California, while suggesting to shareholders and Wall Street that the new taxi service uses “robotaxis” and is autonomous. The automaker seems to have used the technique before. It is currently in administrative court with the state of California over allegations that Tesla has misled consumers for years by using language such as “Autopilot” and “Full Self-Driving” to sell technology that can’t drive itself, but must be overseen by a human driver at all times.
“Tesla couldn’t have it both ways,” says Philip Koopman, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University who studies autonomous vehicle safety. The automaker “is giving California more ammunition for the false advertising lawsuit by insisting that it’s a robotaxi when they’re telling regulators it’s really not.”

UDRUGA Hrabre njuške ponovno ima predivnu priču – ovaj put o dvoje mačića genijalnih imena – Snjeguljici i Njofri, koji od prvog dana rade sve zajedno. I zato traže dom, ali zajednički.
Rođeni 20. ožujka 2025., Snjeguljica i Njofra su razigrani, zdravi i spremni za udomljenje. Očišćeni su od nametnika, cijepljeni protiv zaraznih bolesti i bjesnoće te su čipirani. Ono što ih posebno izdvaja jest njihova čvrsta povezanost – od igre do drijemanja, ovo dvoje se ne razdvaja.

Traže dom isključivo kao kućne mačke, u Zagrebu i okolici. Prije udomljenja potrebno je osigurati dom zaštitnim mrežama na prozorima i balkonima, radi njihove sigurnosti.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Uvjeti udomljenja
Kako bi njihovo novo poglavlje bilo sigurno i sretno, iz udruge napominju da se:

- prije udomljenja potpisuje se ugovor o udomljenju, uključujući obavezu kastracije po spolnoj zrelosti
- mace osobno dovoze u novi dom, a prije toga je potrebno ispuniti kratki obrazac za udomljenje.
Za sva dodatna pitanja dostupni su putem e-maila: [email protected] ili Facebooka: Hrabre njuške.
Idealni za dom pun igre i ljubavi
Ako ste u potrazi za dvoje neodoljivih, nježnih i razigranih mačjih prijatelja koji će vam uljepšavati dane – Snjeguljica i Njofra su spremni. Oni dolaze kao paket ljubavi, energije i mačje privrženosti.

LINDSAY Lohan trenutačno ima pune ruke posla oko promocije svog novog filma Freakier Friday, a sada ju je put odveo u Meksiko. Tim je povodom glumica podijelila brojne fotografije na svojem profilu na Instagramu, a nama je posebnu pozornost privukla zanimljivom haljinom s resama.
Za izdanje je zaslužan stilist je Andrew Mukamal koji je za nju odabrao Rabanne satensku slip haljinu boje slonovače s narančastim resicama, Rabanne crnu torbicu, sandale brenda Paris Texas i nakit brenda Cartier.

Flipkart has announced that its annual Freedom Sale will return in early August, offering a slew of deals across categories such as electronics, home appliances, and personal care products. However, the official start date remains unclear, with discrepancies between the company’s mobile app and website.
According to the Flipkart app, the Freedom Sale 2025 is scheduled to begin on 1 August. In contrast, the website lists the start date as 2 August.
Flipkart has confirmed that its Plus and VIP customers will receive early access to the sale, 24 hours before it opens to the general public. These members will also benefit from additional discounts, including a 10 per cent reduction when using Flipkart’s Super Coins alongside regular sale offers.
Bank offers during the event will include an instant 15 per cent discount on select purchases. Flipkart also revealed that the sale will feature 78 promotional windows branded as “Freedom Deals”, “Rush Hours”, “Tick Tok”, “Exchange Offers”, and “Bumper Hours”. Details about the specific nature of these offers have yet to be disclosed.
The Freedom Sale follows closely on the heels of the recently concluded Flipkart GOAT Sale, which ended on 17 July. That event featured discounts on popular smartphones such as the iPhone 16, Nothing Phone 3a Pro, and Samsung Galaxy S24.
More information on the Freedom Sale 2025 is expected in the coming days, as both Flipkart and Amazon prepare for intense competition ahead of Independence Day.
To recall, in a major boost for smartphone shoppers, Flipkart had launched exciting deals on the latest iPhone 16 series as part of its GOAT Sale 2025. The much-anticipated iPhone 16 (128GB variant) was selling at a special price of ₹69,999, down from its original retail value of ₹79,900.
It will be interesting to note that how the e-commerce giant will once again offer special discounts on premium smartphones like iPhones.
“Our conversations with Raj were not always about cinema. They were about life, about how people behave and how stories unfold. That is the most valuable thing,” he adds.
Shaneel calls him “Rajanna”, a name that holds warmth and respect. “He is not just a filmmaker to us. He is the one who saw something in all of us. His production house gave us a platform, but more than that, we love him for the human being he is.”
JP concludes, “We did not have much interaction with Rishab or Rakshit, but Raj has been with us from the beginning. All three Shettys have a great passion for cinema and support new voices. But for us, Raj Anna is family.”
As the team awaits the film’s release, there is a quiet nervousness under their smiles. “What we created is one thing, but how people receive it is not in our hands,” says JP as he concludes, “With mobile screens and constant content, audience judgment is swift. But we made this with sincerity and joy.”

When I rescued Tatty Jane from the Pasadena Humane Society, she was a super skinny, long-legged little thing with the black and gray coloring and sweetness of a poodle and the long, spindly legs and energy of an Italian greyhound.
Los Angeles is a dog town, no bones about it. In this weeklong series, we dig into the obsession.
At 16 pounds, she had sparse curly hair with a hilarious white tuft that hovered atop her head like a plume of smoke. She was soulful, elegant, loving and clearly puppyish, but her teeth were all brown — so discolored, in fact, that the staff technicians put her age at 4 years old. After examining her, my vet said she was probably only 1 year old — and her brown teeth were most likely the result of a bad diet.
So Tatty Jane had her teeth cleaned, and I determined that she would never again suffer from a bad diet. Of course, I wondered what she was fed to make her teeth so brown with plaque at such a tender age — after all, I have seen lean scavenger dogs in developing countries with beautiful white teeth. Starch and sugars, I learned, are the main causes of plaque, which could mean that little Tatty Jane was fed a steady diet of sugar-laden kibble — or doughnuts.
I did a deep dive into researching homemade dog foods. Who knew that cranberries, in small doses, are good for dogs? They’re full of fiber and antioxidants and help to keep a dog’s urinary tract healthy. I was also delighted to learn that I could bake and grind our chickens’ organic eggshells into calcium powder, needed for a dog’s bone health.
However, I soon concluded that, short of accumulating a whole pharmacy of supplements, I couldn’t guarantee that Tatty Jane could get all recommended trace vitamins and minerals. So I’ve compromised. I make her a well-balanced homemade dog food and serve it with a topping of vet-approved kibble.
So far, so good. Tatty Jane at 7 years old is frisky, at a perfect weight, with a bright white smile.

Divorce is one of life’s most challenging experiences, but when your ex-spouse is a narcissist, the challenges can feel overwhelming. Co-parenting after such a relationship adds a layer of complexity that is unique to those dealing with narcissism. However, with the right mindset, biblical wisdom, and a focus on the well-being of your children, it is possible to navigate these turbulent waters.
Let’s explore how to co-parent effectively after divorcing a narcissist and identify some practical advice and guidance to help you maintain peace, focus, and resilience.
Understanding Narcissism in Co-Parenting
Narcissism involves a lack of empathy, a need for control, and a self-centered worldview. In a marriage, these traits make daily life exhausting, and they don’t disappear once the divorce is finalized. In fact, they often carry over into co-parenting. A narcissistic ex might manipulate situations, use the children as pawns, or attempt to control parenting decisions long after the marriage has ended.
Recognizing these behaviors is the first step toward effective co-parenting. By understanding the nature of narcissism, you can better prepare for the emotional and psychological toll it may take and develop strategies to handle those situations.

1. Set Boundaries and Stick to Them
One of the most important aspects of co-parenting with a narcissist is establishing clear and firm boundaries. Narcissists often try to push limits or create chaos, so boundaries become essential for protecting both yourself and your children. Boundaries might look like:
Limited Communication
Keep communication brief, to the point, and preferably in writing. Use email or co-parenting apps to avoid personal interactions that could turn into arguments.
Clear Parenting Plans
Set a detailed schedule that is difficult to change. The more concrete and structured the plan, the less room there is for your ex to manipulate the situation.
Emotional Distance
Don’t allow your ex’s words or actions to trigger you emotionally. Narcissists often use guilt, shame, or anger to control their ex-spouse’s reactions, but your response can be controlled.

2. Focus on Your Child’s Well-Being
The most important aspect of co-parenting after a divorce, especially when a narcissist is involved, is keeping the children’s well-being at the forefront of everything. Children often become pawns in a narcissistic parent’s game. They may try to manipulate the children or turn them against you, but your focus needs to remain on providing a stable, loving environment.
Be the Calm in the Storm
Be the stable, compassionate parent. Your children need to feel safe and loved, no matter how chaotic the other home may be. Show them that you’re the dependable one, even when things get difficult.
Encourage Open Communication
Make sure your children feel comfortable expressing their feelings. Keep the lines of communication open, so they don’t feel torn between two warring parents. Remind them that both parents love them, regardless of the tension between the adults.

3. Lean on Your Faith and Trust in God’s Plan
Co-parenting with a narcissist can drain you emotionally and spiritually. That’s why it’s important to lean on your faith and trust in God’s timing and guidance. He knows the challenges you’re facing, and He’s always with you, offering peace and comfort when you need it most.
Pray for Strength
Each day, seek God’s strength to handle the challenges of co-parenting. Ask for wisdom, patience, and clarity when interacting with your ex-spouse.
Forgiveness
Forgiveness can be difficult, especially when you’ve been hurt repeatedly. But holding onto bitterness only hurts you. Let go of resentment and allow God’s healing to take place in your heart. Forgiveness is not for your ex, but for your peace.
Trust in God’s Purpose
Remember that God has a purpose for you and your children in this situation. Your strength, perseverance, and faith will inspire your children and create a foundation of trust for them as they navigate their own lives.

4. Get Support When You Need It
Divorce is not something anyone should face alone. And co-parenting with a narcissist can feel isolating at times. That’s why seeking support is crucial for both your emotional health and your children’s well-being.
Counseling
Consider seeing a therapist or a counselor who specializes in co-parenting, especially if you find yourself struggling to manage the emotional toll. Therapy can provide helpful tools to cope with a narcissistic ex-spouse and offer strategies for emotional resilience.
Support Groups
Look for local or online support groups specifically for people who have divorced narcissists. Talking with others who understand your situation can provide comfort, understanding, and encouragement.

5. The Power of Grace in Co-Parenting
As difficult as it is, grace is your greatest ally when co-parenting with a narcissist. Narcissistic behaviors often demand a level of grace and understanding that can feel nearly impossible to offer. But God’s grace is sufficient, and He has called us to extend that same grace to others, even when they don’t deserve it.
Practice Patience
The journey of co-parenting with a narcissist will test your patience and perseverance. But remember, God is refining you through the process. Trust that He is with you every step of the way.
Embrace Your Role as a Loving Parent
Co-parenting after divorcing a narcissist is never easy, but with faith, strength, and the right mindset, you can provide a healthy, stable environment for your children. Set clear boundaries, focus on the well-being of your kids, and lean on your faith to navigate the challenges. Most importantly, remember that you are not alone, God is with you every step of the way.

Archaeologists uncovered an “extensive” Ancient Roman settlement in an idyllic tourist destination in England – all thanks to the chance discovery of an amateur metal detectorist.
In a press release shared with Fox News Digital, Cotswold Archaeology announced the discovery of the Roman settlement in Gloucestershire, a county within the Cotswold region of England. (See the video at the top of this article.)
The settlement dates back 2,000 years; it was inhabited between the first and second centuries A.D. The excavation near Willersey was done as a joint effort with Historic England.
ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNCOVER LONG-LOST ANCIENT ROMAN BUILDING AT CONSTRUCTION SITE WITH A LITTLE HELP
Among the recent discoveries were a Roman villa, remains of limestone buildings — and at least three Iron Age ring ditches.
Excavators also found the remnants of Roman building materials, including ceramic roofing, painted wall plaster and box flue tiles.

“Once Historic England has the final report on the archaeological work, it will be able to consider whether to recommend to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) that the site be protected as a scheduled monument,” the statement said.
The recent excavation was all thanks to an amateur metal detectorist who found two iron Roman cavalry swords in the same location in March 2023.
LATE BRONZE AGE SETTLEMENT DATING BACK 3,000 YEARS UNCOVERED AMID ROAD WORK: ‘IMPORTANT DISCOVERY’
The hobbyist, Glenn Manning, reported his finds to the government, and they were subsequently donated to the local Corinium Museum in Cirencester.
“The X-rays show that the swords were constructed differently: one has evidence of decorative pattern welding running down the center, whereas the other sword is plain,” Cotswold Archaeology explained in its statement.
Glenn Manning, a newcomer to metal detecting, found Roman swords — one is seen above — buried beneath a quiet English field. (Cotswold Archaeology; Historic England)
“The pattern-welded sword would have been more expensive to produce and therefore higher status.”
“We turned a plowed field, the swords, and geophysical anomalies into the story of a settlement spanning hundreds of years.”
The long swords likely belonged to cavalrymen in the second century, the organization said.
“They are contemporary with the villa,” its statement added. “How they came to be there, though, is currently unknown.”

Near Willersley, archaeologists also uncovered a burial of a skeleton that still retained an iron band around its arm.
A horse skull was also found – but whether the remains date back to the Roman settlement is still unknown.

In a statement, Cotswold Archaeology onsite project officer Peter Busby said he was “very proud” of the achievement.

“We turned a plowed field, the swords, and geophysical anomalies into the story of a settlement spanning hundreds of years – the first stage in telling the history of these fields and their cavalry swords,” the archaeologist said.
“This was only my second time metal detecting. I’m excited to find out more about them.”
Glenn Manning, the metal detectorist who found the swords, described his experience as “amazing.”
He recalled, “The morning before the rally, I had a feeling I would find something special. This was only my second time metal detecting. I’m excited to find out more about them.”
“We turned a plowed field, the swords, and geophysical anomalies into the story of a settlement,” said archaeologist Peter Busby, seen at right. (Cotswold Archaeology; Historic England)
The Romans occupied the British Isles from 43 A.D. until 410 A.D., and many remnants of the era still emerge today.
In May, British archaeologists announced the discovery of an unusual eight-sided Roman ring in a former drainage ditch in Lincolnshire.

Other Samsung Phones to Consider
If you don’t see a Samsung phone mentioned in this guide, that might be because it’s not sold in the US and is a little harder to source for testing. But here are a few other Samsung phones I’ve tried to consider.
Samsung Galaxy A36 5G for $400: The Galaxy A36 (6/10, WIRED Review) doesn’t quite measure up to its peers from Nothing and Motorola. Performance is just too choppy, and that’s not acceptable at this price. It’s manageable—it’s not so slow that it will frustrate—but you can do better. If your needs are very minimal, it’s an OK phone, and the camera system is good, with day-long battery life, a nice AMOLED screen, and 6 years of software updates.
Samsung Galaxy A16 for $175: Samsung’s Galaxy A16 still doesn’t reach the highs of the Galaxy A14, and that’s largely due to sluggish performance. Sure, Samsung is promising six years of software updates, but that remarkable update window doesn’t matter when the phone is frustratingly slow, and you want to throw it out the window. If you barely plan on using this device but want something from a reliable brand that will stay secure, the Galaxy A16 is fine. Its performance just isn’t competitive with other similarly priced phones.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 for $1,900 or Galaxy Z Flip6 for $900: If you don’t want to pay a premium for a new folding phone, then consider last year’s Galaxy Z Fold6 and Galaxy Z Flip7 (7/10, WIRED Review). The Fold6 has a close to “normal” smartphone experience on the exterior 6.3-inch screen. Open the phone up and there’s a vast 7.6-inch AMOLED screen staring at your face, turning this folding phone into a tiny tablet. The Flip6 isn’t as nice as the newer Flip7—the bigger and brighter cover screen on the latest model is a step up—but it’s worth considering over the new Galaxy Z Flip7 FE. Technically, it’s nearly identical to that phone, but the FE uses a Samsung Exynos chip instead of a Qualcomm processor, and performance may not be as smooth. The main drawback? Battery life isn’t great.
If you’re looking to save some cash, it’s fine to buy Samsung’s Galaxy S23 range or the Galaxy S23 FE from 2023, as long as the prices are a good deal lower than the original MSRP. (They’re hard to find at most major retailers.) These phones will still get support for a while, and they’re pretty great. I don’t think it’s worth buying anything older.
Should You Invest in Samsung’s Ecosystem?
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu
Samsung is one of the few smartphone manufacturers that can match Apple in its hardware ecosystem. Not only does the company make smartphones, but you can also expand your experience by adding on a Galaxy Watch8 smartwatch, Galaxy Buds3 Pro earbuds, Galaxy Ring fitness ring, Galaxy Tab S10+ tablet, and even a Windows-powered Galaxy laptop.
There are certain perks to this, like how some features on the Galaxy Ring and Watch8 are only available when paired with a Samsung phone, and its earbuds will automatically switch between Samsung devices based on what you’re using. There’s not much in the way of exclusive features when using a Galaxy phone with a Galaxy laptop, but features like Quick Share let you speedily send photos and documents between your devices.
Again, it’s not necessary, and these other devices might not be the right ones for you within their respective categories, but if you’re chasing hardware parity, you have that option with Samsung.
What Is Galaxy AI?
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu
With the Galaxy S24 series, Samsung launched “Galaxy AI,” a selection of artificial intelligence features, many of which are powered by Google’s Gemini large language models. These enable smart features that may be helpful day to day, like real-time translations during phone calls, real-time transcriptions in Samsung’s Voice Recorder app, the ability to summarize long paragraphs of text in the Samsung Notes app, or change a sentence’s tone with the Samsung Keyboard.
In the Galaxy S25 series, Galaxy AI expanded to include Gemini as the default voice assistant and the ability for Gemini to work with multiple apps simultaneously. It also debuted Drawing Assist, which lets you sketch or enter a prompt and get an AI-generated image. Now, you can also use video in real-time with Gemini, even from the cover screen of the Galaxy Z Flip7.
You can find many of these features by heading to Settings > Galaxy AI to toggle them on or off. We have an explainer on how to limit Galaxy AI to on-device processing, too.
What Is Samsung DeX?

Samsung’s DeX (short for “desktop experience”) launched in 2017, and it’s a way to plug in your Samsung phone to an external monitor and trigger a desktop version of the Android OS, all completely powered by the phone. You can find a list of compatible Samsung phones here—the Flip7 is the first Galaxy Flip to support DeX—and you’ll need a monitor, mouse, and keyboard, plus a cable to connect the phone to the monitor. (You can also cast DeX to select screens wirelessly.)
When in DeX mode, you can resize Android apps and have them all open in separate windows. It’s a proper computing platform, though you probably won’t want to use this as a permanent laptop replacement or anything of the sort. It’s great if you’re visiting another office, or working out of a coffee shop or airplane (if you have a portable display). We have a whole guide to setting up and using DeX here.
How I Test Phones
I’ve been reviewing smartphones for a decade, but one of my earliest smart devices was a Samsung Galaxy Captivate, which I got for “free” from my carrier at the time. After working during college, I finally saved enough cash for a Galaxy S3, my first flagship. I’ve spent years using Samsung phones in my personal life and began reviewing them for work not too long after.
With each Samsung smartphone, I always put my personal SIM card inside and spend as long as I can (a few weeks) using the phone as my own. I do camera testing and compare the results with similarly priced devices, I benchmark performance and play graphically demanding games to see how they fare, I try out all the new features and even take calls to make sure that ol’ function still works fine.

SAZNANJE da imate povišeni kolesterol može biti zabrinjavajuće, ali i poticajno za promjenu navika. Redovita tjelovježba jedna je od najučinkovitijih mjera, pomaže u snižavanju “lošeg” LDL kolesterola i povećava “dobar” HDL. No mnogi se pitaju, postoji li idealno doba dana za vježbanje kako bi se postigli najbolji rezultati?
Novinari portala Eating Well razgovarali su s kardiologom, dijetetičarkom i trenericom. Njihov je zaključak jasan: univerzalno najbolje vrijeme ne postoji, ali postoji ono koje je za vas najodrživije.
Postoji li idealno doba dana?
Ne postoji jedinstven znanstveni odgovor na pitanje kada je najbolje vježbati za snižavanje kolesterola, ujutro, poslijepodne ili navečer. Ipak, neka istraživanja daju blagu prednost jutarnjoj tjelovježbi.
Kardiolog dr. Aaron Feingold objašnjava da naš unutarnji tjelesni sat, tzv. cirkadijani ritam, utječe na metabolizam masti. Kolesterol se najviše stvara noću, a jutarnja tjelovježba može prekinuti taj ciklus i potaknuti rast HDL kolesterola. Jedna je studija pokazala da su osobe koje vježbaju ujutro imale niže razine LDL-a te manji rizik od bolesti srca i moždanog udara.
S druge strane, vježbanje u poslijepodnevnim ili večernjim satima također ima prednosti. Prema sportskoj dijetetičarki Marie Spano, tada je osjetljivost na inzulin veća, što pomaže organizmu učinkovitije ukloniti masnoće iz krvi. Jedna je studija pokazala da kasniji treninzi smanjuju inzulinsku rezistenciju za čak 25 %, a to je izravno povezano s nižim kolesterolom.
No bez obzira na doba dana, svi stručnjaci naglašavaju: dosljednost je najvažnija. Najbolje vrijeme za vježbanje je ono koje odgovara vašem ritmu i kojeg se možete redovito držati.
Prednosti jutarnjeg vježbanja
Jutarnje vježbanje donosi brojne koristi. Trenerica Amanda Katz ističe da je ujutro manje ometanja, rjeđe ćete preskočiti vježbanje zbog drugih obaveza. Također, jutarnja aktivnost često dovodi do zdravijih odluka tijekom dana, primjerice pri izboru obroka.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Dr. Feingold dodaje kako jutarnji treninzi poboljšavaju osjetljivost na inzulin i odvijaju se u vrijeme prirodno povišenih razina hormona rasta i testosterona, što potiče bolji metabolizam i jača mišiće.
Zašto vježbati poslijepodne ili navečer?
Nakon radnog dana, tjelovježba može poslužiti kao izvrsno sredstvo za opuštanje i oslobađanje od stresa. Kasniji treninzi doprinose boljem snu, a to je važno jer loš san i kronični stres povećavaju razinu kortizola, hormona koji može negativno utjecati na razinu masnoća u krvi.
Tijekom poslijepodneva tijelo je u boljem tjelesnom stanju, temperatura je viša, što može poboljšati izvedbu i omogućiti intenzivniji trening. Time se dodatno potiče rast “dobrog” HDL kolesterola.
Kako započeti?
Ako želite uključiti tjelovježbu u svakodnevicu, stručnjaci preporučuju najmanje 150 minuta umjerene aktivnosti tjedno, primjerice, 30 minuta pet dana u tjednu. Najvažnije je da vježbate redovito i da odaberete aktivnost u kojoj uživate. To može biti hodanje, vožnja bicikla, plivanje ili vježbe snage.
Za dodatnu motivaciju, planirajte treninge unaprijed, vježbajte s prijateljem ili angažirajte trenera. I uvijek imajte na umu zašto ste krenuli, osim nižeg kolesterola, dobit ćete više energije, jače tijelo i bolje zdravlje.

President Donald Trump rode to reelection last fall on voter concerns about prices. But as his administration pares back federal rules and programs designed to protect patients from the high cost of health care, Trump risks pushing more Americans into debt, further straining family budgets already stressed by medical bills.
Millions of people are expected to lose health insurance in the coming years as a result of the tax cut legislation Trump signed this month, leaving them with fewer protections from large bills if they get sick or suffer an accident.
At the same time, significant increases in health plan premiums on state insurance marketplaces next year will likely push more Americans to either drop coverage or switch to higher-deductible plans that will require them to pay more out-of-pocket before their insurance kicks in.
Smaller changes to federal rules are poised to bump up patients’ bills, as well. New federal guidelines for covid-19 vaccines, for example, will allow health insurers to stop covering the shots for millions, so if patients want the protection, some may have to pay out-of-pocket.
The new tax cut legislation will also raise the cost of certain doctor visits, requiring copays of up to $35 for some Medicaid enrollees.
And for those who do end up in debt, there will be fewer protections. This month, the Trump administration secured permission from a federal court to roll back regulations that would have removed medical debt from consumer credit reports.
That puts Americans who cannot pay their medical bills at risk of lower credit scores, hindering their ability to get a loan or forcing them to pay higher interest rates.
“For tens of millions of Americans, balancing the budget is like walking a tightrope,” said Chi Chi Wu, a staff attorney at the National Consumer Law Center. “The Trump administration is just throwing them off.”
White House spokesperson Kush Desai did not respond to questions about how the administration’s health care policies will affect Americans’ medical bills.
The president and his Republican congressional allies have brushed off the health care cuts, including hundreds of billions of dollars in Medicaid retrenchment in the mammoth tax law. “You won’t even notice it,” Trump said at the White House after the bill signing July 4. “Just waste, fraud, and abuse.”
But consumer and patient advocates around the country warn that the erosion of federal health care protections since Trump took office in January threatens to significantly undermine Americans’ financial security.
“These changes will hit our communities hard,” said Arika Sánchez, who oversees health care policy at the nonprofit New Mexico Center on Law and Poverty.
Sánchez predicted many more people the center works with will end up with medical debt. “When families get stuck with medical debt, it hurts their credit scores, makes it harder to get a car, a home, or even a job,” she said. “Medical debt wrecks people’s lives.”
For Americans with serious illnesses such as cancer, weakened federal protections from medical debt pose yet one more risk, said Elizabeth Darnall, senior director of federal advocacy at the American Cancer Society’s Cancer Action Network. “People will not seek out the treatment they need,” she said.
Trump promised a rosier future while campaigning last year, pledging to “make America affordable again” and “expand access to new Affordable Healthcare.”
Polls suggest voters were looking for relief.
About 6 in 10 adults — Democrats and Republicans — say they are worried about being able to afford health care, according to one recent survey, outpacing concerns about the cost of food or housing. And medical debt remains a widespread problem: As many as 100 million adults in the U.S. are burdened by some kind of health care debt.
Despite this, key tools that have helped prevent even more Americans from sinking into debt are now on the chopping block.
Medicaid and other government health insurance programs, in particular, have proved to be a powerful economic backstop for low-income patients and their families, said Kyle Caswell, an economist at the Urban Institute, a think tank in Washington, D.C.
Caswell and other researchers found, for example, that Medicaid expansion made possible by the 2010 Affordable Care Act led to measurable declines in medical debt and improvements in consumers’ credit scores in states that implemented the expansion.
“We’ve seen that these programs have a meaningful impact on people’s financial well-being,” Caswell said.
Trump’s tax law — which will slash more than $1 trillion in federal health spending over the next decade, mostly through Medicaid cuts — is expected to leave 10 million more people without health coverage by 2034, according to the latest estimates from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. The tax cuts, which primarily benefit wealthy Americans, will add $3.4 trillion to U.S. deficits over a decade, the office calculated.
The number of uninsured could spike further if Trump and his congressional allies don’t renew additional federal subsidies for low- and moderate-income Americans who buy health coverage on state insurance marketplaces.
This aid — enacted under former President Joe Biden — lowers insurance premiums and reduces medical bills enrollees face when they go to the doctor or the hospital. But unless congressional Republicans act, those subsidies will expire later this year, leaving many with bigger bills.
Federal debt regulations developed by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau under the Biden administration would have protected these people and others if they couldn’t pay their medical bills.
The agency issued rules in January that would have removed medical debts from consumer credit reports. That would have helped an estimated 15 million people.
But the Trump administration chose not to defend the new regulations when they were challenged in court by debt collectors and the credit bureaus, who argued the federal agency had exceeded its authority in issuing the rules. A federal judge in Texas appointed by Trump ruled that the regulation should be scrapped.

JEDNA malena ptica pjevica proživjela je nevjerojatnu avanturu nakon što ju je snažan vjetar odnio više od 80 kilometara daleko na otvoreno more. Potpuno iscrpljena i izgubljena, ptičici se izuzetno posrećilo, naišla je na brod čija joj je posada pružila sigurno utočište i pomogla joj da se vrati na kopno.
Ova neobična priča o spašavanju pretvorila se u dirljiv i emotivan doživljaj za sve koji su u njemu sudjelovali. Snimka zabilježena tijekom događaja pokazuje koliko često ptice s obale dospiju na pučinu zbog jakih vjetrova, a brodovi im tada postaju jedina nada za spas.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Iako je vjetar u početku odnio nekoliko ptica, samo je jedna bila toliko iscrpljena da se odlučila odmoriti na brodu. Ubrzo je osvojila srca posade. Najčešće je drijemala na rubu šešira jednog člana posade i u pletenici jedne žene.
Kad se brod približavao kopnu, vjetar je ponovno ojačao. Malena ptica više nije imala snage poletjeti. Članovi posade tada su je pažljivo smjestili u mekanu i toplu kapu kako bi joj osigurali udobnost i zaštitu.
Sretan završetak morske pustolovine
Po dolasku na obalu trebalo se oprostiti od ptice. Ptica je isprva djelovala zbunjeno, no ubrzo je pogledom pretražila okolinu i u obližnjem grmlju pronašla novo utočište. Tako je ova oceanska pustolovina završila sretno, ptičica je nastavila svoj život u prirodi, daleko od olujnih valova.

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.
KOMPANIJA Meta i njezin odjel Reality Labs predstavili su tehnologiju koja bi mogla zauvijek promijeniti način na koji koristimo računala i druge pametne uređaje. Riječ je o pametnoj narukvici koja funkcionira kao zamjena za tipkovnicu i miša, omogućujući upravljanje uređajima samo malim pokretima ruku i prstiju.
Ova nosiva tehnologija, dizajnirana za rad u kombinaciji s Metinim naočalama za proširenu stvarnost, koristi površinsku elektromiografiju (sEMG) kako bi očitala signale iz mišića u zapešću. Umjesto klasičnog tipkanja ili klikanja, korisnik može upravljati sučeljem jednostavnim gestama.
Tehnologija koja čita mišiće
Narukvica izgleda kao sat, no u pitanju je proizvod koji u sebi krije napredne senzore koji detektiraju električne signale koje mozak šalje mišićima ruke, čak i ako su pokreti jedva vidljivi, piše Design Boom.
Signali koji kontroliraju geste poput tapkanja, povlačenja ili zumiranja zatim se bežično šalju na uređaj, gdje ih umjetna inteligencija pretvara u konkretne akcije – od otvaranja aplikacija i pisanja poruka do odabira opcija u izborniku.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
“Dakle, radi kao tipkovnica”, “Ruka mi je već umorna”, “Ovo je revolucionarna tehnologija”, “Moj Bože”, “Konačno, miš će biti stvar prošlosti”, “Jako kul”, glase neki od komentara na objavu Mete na Instagramu.
Sustav je treniran na podacima prikupljenim od više od 300 volontera. Zahvaljujući tome, narukvica može prepoznati različite oblike ruku, tipove kože i stilove pokreta, što znači da za većinu korisnika radi bez potrebe za dodatnim postavljanjem. S vremenom, uređaj uči iz osobne upotrebe i postaje sve precizniji prilagođavajući se čak i specifičnom stilu rukopisa pojedinca.

OpenAI’s much awaited GPT-5 model could finally make its debut in early August, according to a report by The Verge. GPT-5 will be the latest model running the company’s ChatGPT AI bot and will be the first ever LLM from it to come with unified reasoning capabilites.
Sam Altman had recently announced in a post on X that GPT-5 will be launching soon. The OpenAI CEO made the announcement in an announcement about an AI model from the company that achieved gold level performance at the 2025 IMO competiton. However, he noted that GPT-5 won’t have IMO gold level capabilities for ‘many months’.
In a recent podcast Altman teased new capabilites of GPT-5 noting that the model helped him answer a difficult email that he should have been able to do but couldn’t.
Speaking about GPT-5’s capabilities Altman noted, “I was testing our new model and I got a question. I got emailed a question that I didn’t quite understand. Uh, and I put it in the model, this GPT5, and it answered it perfectly and I really kind of sat back in my chair and I was just like a, oh man, here it is moment and I got over it quickly.
“I felt like useless relative to the AI in this thing that I felt like I should have been able to do and I couldn’t and it was really hard, but the AI just did it like that.” he added
In a post on X in March Altman had stated that GPT-5 will finally make things simpler for users by removing the model picker and ending the need for choosing a reasoning model for higher intelligence tasks. Instead, the new GPT-5 model will unify the o series and GPT series model by knowing when to think for a long itme or not and “generally be useful for a very wide range of tasks”.
Altman had also stated that after the GPT-5 release, OpenAI won’t ship o-3 as a separate model while GPT-4.5 will be the last non-chain-of-thought model.
GPT-5 free tier will get unlimited chats at the standard intelligence setting while Plus subscribers will get the ability to run GPT-5 at a ‘higher level of inelligence’ and Pro subscribers will be able to run the latest model at an “even higher level of intelligence”.
GPT-5 to have Nano and Mini models:
The report further notes that OpenAI will ship the GPT-5 with mini and nano versions along with standard variant. While the combined reasoning version of GPT-5 and mini versions are said to be available through ChatGPT and OpenAI’s API, the nano version could be available only through API.
Reportedly, OpenAI is also planning to launch its open-source model in late July which could have capabilities similar to o3 mini reasoning model. Notably, the ChatGPT maker has been teasing an open source AI model since early 2025 but the there have been numerous delay in its launch with the last update from Altman coming earlier this month.
While delaying the open model launch yet again, Altman noted, “Our research team did something unexpected and quite amazing and we think it will be very very worth the wait, but needs a bit longer.”
Meanwhile, it is almost certain that GPT-5 will be launched after the open model and while an early August date is being teased, the report notes that it could shift due to “development challenges, server capacity issues, or even rival AI model announcements and leaks”.
To much fanfare, the highly anticipated trailer for War 2 was unveiled on Friday, 25 July, offering a thrilling glimpse into what promises to be one of 2025’s biggest cinematic spectacles.
Starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR in a high-stakes face-off, the trailer is packed with adrenaline-fuelled action, sweeping visuals, and intense drama. Hrithik returns as Kabir, vowing to sacrifice his identity in the fight against evil, while Jr NTR makes a powerful entry, setting the stage for a ferocious showdown.
Marking her first large-scale action role, Kiara Advani is seen not only showcasing her chemistry with Kabir but also diving into combat with flair. The trailer also hints at Tiger Shroff’s character, with Kabir seeking revenge for his death.
Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 is the sixth instalment in the YRF Spy Universe and a sequel to the 2019 blockbuster War. The film promises to push the envelope of Indian action cinema, with globe-trotting locations, sleek choreography, and a gripping narrative at its core.
War 2 is set to release in cinemas worldwide on 14 August in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil.
Shares of Bajaj Finance fell 6 per cent in early trade on Friday amid concerns over MSME stress, deteriorating asset quality and elevated credit costs.
The NBFC posted a consolidated net profit of ₹4,765.29 crore in the quarter ended June 2025, up 21.8 per cent y-o-y, compared to ₹3,911.98 crore in the corresponding quarter previous year.
Market experts believe that the growth in the MSME segment would remain subdued in FY26 due to ongoing macro headwinds.
Global brokerage JP Morgan downgraded the stock from overweight to neutral. Dometic brokerage Motilal Oswal also reiterated neutral rating at a target price of ₹1,000 per share.
Motilal observed Bajaj Finance’s healthy performance for the quarter, driven by strong AUM growth. “While credit costs rose sequentially primarily due to stress in the MSME and Auto Loan segments, asset quality witnessed only a marginal deterioration,” it said.
The brokerage has maintained FY26/FY27 PAT estimates broadly unchanged, and believes that credit costs have now peaked and will remain below the upper end of the guided range.
Jefferies has maintained buy at a target price of ₹1,110.
JM Financial – retaining buy at revised target price of ₹1,000 from ₹985 earlier – continues to like Bajaj Finance given its ability to deliver sector leading growth/RoE on cross-cycle basis. However, near-term concerns around growth/asset quality and rich valuations might limit upside.
HDFC Securities maintained buy at ₹985, adding that the company is poised for 24 per cent AUM CAGR over FY26-FY27, with the scale-up of new products and simultaneously delivering strong profitability.
UBS has maintained sell call at ₹750 per share.
Bajaj Finance shares traded 4.32 per cent lower on the BSE at ₹917.60 as at 10.20 am, hitting a low of ₹897.65. The stock opened lower at ₹908 against the previous close of ₹959.
Bajaj Finserv, set to announce Q1 numbers today, also dragged nearly 5 per cent in today’s trade.

Warning: Your dog will not live forever. To try to maximize their health and happiness while you are fortunate to have them prancing along by your side, I share with you one of Rufus’ favorite recipes as a jumping-off point. You’ll land on what your dog likes, and what works for you. I prepare — or used to prepare — this in a big batch (you can freeze some of it), then scoop out a cupful for each meal. Stir in some boiling bone broth or water, to take off the chill, because that’s what I would have wanted for myself.

While some tourists may have a “sky’s out, thighs out” attitude toward their swim trunks, one Mediterranean town begs to differ.
The mayor of Chetaïbi, Alegeria, called for longer and looser shorts on men — issuing a decree banning them from walking around in Bermuda shorts.
“These summer outfits disturb the population. They go against our society’s moral values and sense of decency,” Mayor Layachi Allaoua said, according to The Associated Press (AP).

“The population can no longer tolerate seeing foreigners wandering the streets in indecent clothing,” he added.
The decision sparked a regional debate over religious and traditional attire as opposed to the habits of more open-minded beachgoers.

Officials in the coastal city of Annaba called on the mayor to rescind his order.
After two days of controversy, the mayor did reverse the order — saying he wanted to preserve “peace and tranquility” for both locals and tourists and that he was not influenced by Islamist pressure, according to AP.

For 2025, the Zenbivy Light Bed consists of two different quilt styles, the Light Quilt and the Light Convertible Quilt, along with the Light Sheet in either full length or half length. I tested and recommend the convertible quilt, which gives you more options and can be used in a wider range of backpacking scenarios. The convertible quilt can be unwrapped to lie totally flat and square like a quilt on your bed at home, but it can also be clipped up into a mummy-bag-style, draft-free footbox for colder nights.
I love the ability to have my feet sticking out of the fully unclipped quilt on summer nights. For me, this makes it possible to use the 20-degree quilt on much warmer nights than I’d otherwise be able to, making the convertible quilt much more of do-everything option.
The convertible quilt in size large (25-degree rating) is $319, and the long sheet uninsulated (25 degree rating) is $129, bringing the combo to $448. If you want something warmer, the 10-degree version of both comes out to $558. For comparison, our top pick ultralight sleeping bag, the Sea to Summit Spark 15, is $549 for size regular.

The big news in Zenbivy’s 2025 revamp of the Light Bed is the new 25-denier (25D) Pongee fabric that’s on all the panels that touch your skin—the sheet, the hood, and the inside of the quilt. It’s softer and less nylon-y than older versions. You can also get a half-sheet, which saves you about 5 ounces in weight, although I did not test it.
My favorite part about the new sheet is what’s not in it, namely DWR coatings. I’m not a fan of chemicals, especially in something I’m sleeping in, so that was a welcome change. Do I wish there was an all-natural merino wool Zenbivy sheet? Why yes, yes I do (though it would undoubtedly be heavy), but there isn’t, so I’m at least glad to see a few chemicals removed. Note that the outer shell of the quilt does have a PFAS-free DWR coating to help shed any tent moisture it might come in contact with.
KADA je riječ o jačanju trbušnih mišića i postizanju čvrstog corea, dvije vježbe često se nalaze na vrhu svih preporuka – plank i trbušnjaci. Iako naizgled jednostavne, obje imaju različit učinak na tijelo i aktiviraju različite mišićne skupine. Pitanje je, koja vježba zapravo bolje oblikuje trbuh?
Što je plank i kako djeluje?
Plank je izometrička vježba u kojoj tijelo zadržava stabilan položaj, s osloncem na podlaktice i nožne prste. Cilj je ostati što duže u ravnoj liniji, bez uvijanja donjeg dijela leđa ili podizanja kukova.
Prednosti planka: Aktivira cijeli core, uključujući poprečne trbušne mišiće, leđa, ramena i zdjelicu. Jača stabilnost i funkcionalnu snagu trupa. Manje opterećuje kralježnicu u usporedbi s trbušnjacima. Pogodan je za osobe s problemima u donjem dijelu leđa.
Što su trbušnjaci?
Trbušnjaci su dinamička vježba kojom se jačaju primarno ravni trbušni mišići. Izvode se u ležećem položaju, podizanjem gornjeg dijela trupa prema koljenima.
Prednosti trbušnjaka: Usmjereno jačaju gornji dio trbuha. Lako se uče i mogu se izvoditi bez opreme. Dobar su temelj za početnike koji tek počinju s jačanjem corea.
Kada odabrati plank, a kada trbušnjake?
Plank je idealan ako želite stabilnost, snažniji core i manje opterećenja na leđa. Odličan je izbor za osobe koje puno sjede, imaju problema s pravilnim držanjem tijela ili žele povećati funkcionalnu snagu trupa.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Trbušnjaci su korisni kao dio šireg programa za jačanje trbušnih mišića, posebno ako želite ciljano pogađati gornji trbuh. No, ako se izvode nepravilno, mogu opteretiti vrat i donji dio leđa.
Mogu li se kombinirati?
Da, zapravo, to je najbolja opcija. Kombinacijom planka i trbušnjaka dobivate vježbanje i izometričke snage i dinamičke kontrakcije mišića. Tako razvijate stabilnost, izdržljivost i definiciju.
Primjer kombinacije:
Pauza 30 sekundi, ponoviti 2–3 kruga.
Što bolje oblikuje trbuh?
Ako tražite univerzalnu vježbu za jačanje trbuha i stabilnosti, plank je dugoročno učinkovitiji, jer aktivira veći broj mišića i manje opterećuje kralježnicu. No, ako želite dodatno oblikovati trbuh i povećati mišićnu izdržljivost, trbušnjaci su i dalje vrijedni dio treninga.
Za najbolje rezultate, kombinirajte obje vježbe u kratke treninge koje možete raditi kod kuće bez opreme. Za više vježbi koje ciljano jačaju trbušne mišiće, posjetite Index Vježbe, bazu kvalitetno objašnjenih vježbi s jasnim uputama.

Here Come the ACA Premium Hikes
The Host

Read Julie’s stories.
Julie Rovner is chief Washington correspondent and host of KFF Health News’ weekly health policy news podcast, “What the Health?” A noted expert on health policy issues, Julie is the author of the critically praised reference book “Health Care Politics and Policy A to Z,” now in its third edition.
Much of the hubbub in health care this year has been focused on Medicaid, which faces dramatically reduced federal funding as the result of the huge budget bill signed by President Donald Trump earlier this month. But now the attention is turning to the Affordable Care Act, which is facing some big changes that could cost many consumers their health coverage as soon as 2026.
Meanwhile, changes to immigration policy under Trump could have an outsize impact on the nation’s health care system, both by exacerbating shortages of health workers and by eliminating insurance coverage that helps keep some hospitals and clinics afloat.
This week’s panelists are Julie Rovner of KFF Health News, Julie Appleby of KFF Health News, Jessie Hellmann of CQ Roll Call, and Alice Miranda Ollstein of Politico.

Among the takeaways from this week’s episode:
- Many Americans can expect their health insurance premiums to rise next year, but those rate hikes could be even bigger for the millions who rely on ACA health plans. To afford such plans, most consumers rely on enhanced federal government subsidies, which are set to expire — and GOP lawmakers seem loath to extend them, even though many of their constituents could lose their insurance as a result.
- Congress included a $50 billion fund for rural health care in Trump’s new law, aiming to cushion the blow of Medicaid cuts. But the fund is expected to fall short, especially as many people lose their health insurance and clinics, hospitals, and health systems are left to cover their bills.
- Abortion opponents continue to claim the abortion pill mifepristone is unsafe, more recently by citing a problematic analysis — and some lawmakers are using it to pressure federal officials to take another look at the drug’s approval. Meanwhile, many Planned Parenthood clinics are bracing for an end to federal funding, stripping money not only from busy clinics where abortion is legal but also from clinics that provide only contraception, testing for sexually transmitted infections, and other non-abortion care in states where the procedure is banned.
- And as more states implement laws enabling doctors to opt out of treatments that violate their morals, a pregnant woman in Tennessee says her doctor refused to provide prenatal care, because she is unmarried.
Also this week, Rovner interviews Jonathan Oberlander, a Medicare historian and University of North Carolina health policy professor, to mark Medicare’s 60th anniversary later this month.
Plus, for “extra credit” the panelists suggest health policy stories they read this week that they think you should read, too:

IZ ZADARSKOG azila stiže nova priča koja dira u srce. U azil je stigao mali Flip, štene staro oko tri mjeseca, poznat već kao vlasnik najvećih ušiju azila.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Vjeruje se da je brat kujice Franke, također nedavno spašene, jer su oboje pronađeni na istom području. Djelatnici azila sumnjaju da je štence ostvaio neodgovorni vlasnik.
Flip je veseo, umiljat i društven, s kratkim nogicama i ogromnim ušima koje mu prate svaki korak. Iz azila se nadaju da će, poput svoje seke, i Flip uskoro pronaći dom i vlastiti “king size” krevetić.

REALITY show Love Island iznjedrio je brojne beauty influencerice, a čini se da ni posljednja sezona američke inačice nije iznimka. Natjecateljice poput Hude Mustafe, poznate i kao “mamacita”, postale su viralne upravo zbog svoje ljubavi prema kozmetici.
Iako je soba za uljepšavanje u vili bila puna sponzorskih proizvoda brendova Maybelline i CeraVe, Huda je za Allure otkrila koje je svoje favorite potajno koristila kako bi postigla prepoznatljiv izgled.
Ljubav prema šminkanju od malih nogu
Huda Mustafa, 24-godišnja fitness instruktorica, svoju opsesiju šminkom gaji još od tinejdžerskih dana. “Sjećate se kad su svi koristili Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow za obrve? Snimala sam tutorijale i iscrtavala tuš za oči”, prisjeća se Huda. “Bila sam opsjednuta šminkom još od vremena Kylie Jenner izazova s usnama. Čak i danas obožavam se igrati i eksperimentirati s make-upom.”
Proizvodi izvan sponzorskog paketa
Iako su kamere prikazivale djevojke kako koriste sponzorske proizvode, Huda je u koferu imala vlastiti arsenal. “Moja rutina šminkanja vrlo je detaljna”, kaže ona.
Na popisu njezinih favorita našli su se Benefit Cosmetics Hoola bronzer, Charlotte Tilbury Light Wand highlighter i Airbrush Flawless fiksator, Hourglass kistovi i korektori te Natasha Denona primer za lice. Pohvalila je i Maybelline korektore dostupne u vili. Za usne je, kaže, najčešće koristila samo malo MAC olovke jer joj je prirodna boja usana već dovoljno izražena.
Mnogi su se pitali i za njezine trepavice, no Huda otkriva da nije imala ekstenzije. Umjesto toga, svakih nekoliko dana sama je lijepila D-curl parcijalne trepavice dugotrajnim ljepilom, što joj je omogućilo da zadrži dosljedan izgled tijekom cijele sezone.
Nokti top, a stopala katastrofa
Gledatelji su primijetili da su djevojke uvijek imale svježe manikure, unatoč tome što u vili nije bilo manikera. Tajna je bila u press-on noktima koje su same lijepile, a Huda je svoje nabavila na Amazonu.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
No, situacija s noktima na nogama bila je potpuno drugačija. “Vjerujte mi, nožni prsti su mi jedva preživljavali”, šali se. “Prije ulaska u vilu napravila sam francusku pedikuru, ali nokti su narasli kao ludi. Izazovi su ih uništili, izgledali su grozno, poput kandži. Srećom, sve smo znale da imamo zapuštena stopala, pa se nismo osuđivale.”
Tajna zanosnog mirisa
Nakon izlaska iz vile, Huda je prikupila ogroman broj pratitelja na društvenim mrežama – više od svih natjecatelja ove sezone, a mnoge je najviše zanimao njezin miris. Na TikToku su čak postali viralni videi koji su pomoću umjetne inteligencije tvrdili da Huda koristi određeni parfem od vanilije, što je ona demantirala.
“Puno dečki iz vile mi je stalno govorilo kako lijepo mirišem, doslovno 24/7, čak i kad bih išla spavati”, kaže. “Svi su komentirali jer bih redom zagrlila svakoga, a kompliment koji sam najčešće dobivala bio je: ‘Tako lijepo mirišeš.'”
Njezina tajna nije u jednom parfemu. “Doslovno mrzim kad netko miriše poput mene. Koristim dvije različite kreme za tijelo i otprilike četiri parfema. Netko može koristiti isti parfem, ali nećemo mirisati isto jer ja nosim toliko različitih slojeva. Sve se svodi na gel za tuširanje, ulje za tijelo i sve ostalo”, objašnjava.
Ipak, otkrila je da joj je omiljeni parfem Burberry Her, a u vili je koristila i losion za tijelo Pure Fiji s mirisom noni voća, lotosa i hibiskusa, koji su zbog nje na kraju kupile i ostale djevojke. “To je ono što su svi u vili počeli kupovati jer sam ga ja nosila”, rekla je. “Tako sam dobro mirisala.”

Alphabet Inc. crossed a new milestone this week with a blockbuster earnings report, capping a dramatic rise that’s seen the company add more than $1 trillion in market value since early 2023. According to Bloomberg, Alphabet has delivered a 120% return to investors over that period, underscoring Wall Street’s renewed confidence in the tech giant’s AI-powered growth story.
Sundar Pichai joins billionaire club
This surge has also catapulted the Indian-origin CEO Sundar Pichai into the billionaire ranks — a rare distinction for a non-founding executive. As per the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Pichai, 53, is now worth $1.1 billion, driven largely by Alphabet’s rally and years of steady compensation.
Stock performance and AI investments
Alphabet shares jumped as much as 4.1% on Thursday after the company reported better-than-expected second-quarter earnings. The company also raised its 2025 capital expenditures estimate by $10 billion, bringing it to $85 billion, largely to fund AI infrastructure.
“Our AI infrastructure investments are crucial to meeting the growth in demand for cloud customers,”
— Sundar Pichai, during Alphabet’s Q2 earnings call.
The company also posted a 16% increase in R&D spending, reflecting its aggressive push into artificial intelligence.
Stock sales
While Pichai holds only a 0.02% economic stake in Alphabet, worth approximately $440 million, most of his net worth is in cash, according to Bloomberg. He has sold over $650 million worth of Alphabet stock over the past decade — a move that, the news outlet estimates, cost him more than $1 billion in potential gains.
Had he retained all his shares, his stake would be valued at over $2.5 billion at current prices, the report stated.
Investments beyond tech
Pichai has been investing some of his wealth in cricket, as per the report. As per the news outlet, he is part of a tech executive consortium that purchased a 49% stake in the London Spirit cricket franchise for $182 million. The team competes in The Hundred, a new British cricket league launched in 2020.
A decade at Google
Pichai, who was not part of Google’s founding in 1998, reached another key milestone this month: becoming Alphabet’s longest-serving CEO. August marks 10 years since he assumed the role in 2015. He later took over as CEO of Alphabet in 2019 following a corporate restructuring that elevated the parent company’s prominence.
From humble heginnings to silicon valley
Pichai’s rise has been anything but ordinary. He was raised in a two-room apartment in Tamil Nadu,where his family didn’t own a car and got their first telephone when he was 12. When he earned a scholarship to Stanford University in 1993, his family spent over $1,000 — more than his father’s annual salary — on a one-way plane ticket to California.
From Chrome to AI: Climbing the Google ranks
Joining Google in 2004, Pichai led the Chrome browser development and later headed Android, gaining prominence within the company. Under his leadership, Alphabet has ramped up its AI investments, notably the $400 million acquisition of DeepMind in 2014 — a landmark move in Google’s AI evolution.
In 2023 alone, Alphabet spent nearly $50 billion on AI-specific investments including semiconductors, energy capacity, and data centers, Bloomberg reported. The company has also continued acquiring AI talent and firms.

Markets witnessed sharp profit-booking on Thursday, with benchmark indices reversing early gains to close significantly lower as disappointing quarterly earnings from IT majors triggered a sector-wide selloff that overshadowed positive manufacturing PMI data and global cues.
The Sensex plunged 542.47 points or 0.66 per cent to close at 82,184.17, while the Nifty fell 157.80 points or 0.63 per cent to settle at 25,062.10. The decline came despite the indices opening on a strong note, with the Nifty touching a high of 25,246 in early trade before sliding to an intraday low of 25,018.
Sector slide
The IT sector bore the brunt of selling pressure, with the Nifty IT index tumbling over 2 per cent following lacklustre Q1 FY26 results from major technology companies. Among individual stocks, CϙForge crashed 9 per cent, Persistent Systems declined 8 per cent, while Infosys dropped 1 per cent, weighing heavily on the broader market sentiment.
“Indian equities fell sharply today, reversing previous gains despite positive global cues. Initial optimism around the India-UK free trade agreement gave way to caution as attention shifted firmly to earnings. The IT and FMCG sectors dragged down large-cap stocks due to subdued Q1 performance,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Investments Ltd.
Sectoral performance remained mixed throughout the session. While PSU banks, healthcare, and pharma stocks outperformed with the PSU Bank index rallying over 1.40 per cent, sectors including construction, consumer goods, energy, and oil & gas lagged . The Nifty Realty index also came under pressure and closed among the top sectoral losers.
Market breadth was decidedly negative, with 2,467 stocks declining against 1,523 advances on the BSE. In the Nifty 500 universe, as many as 326 stocks ended in the red, reflecting broad-based weakness across segments. The broader indices also witnessed selling pressure, with the Nifty Midcap 100 declining 0.58 per cent and the Smallcap 100 underperforming significantly by tumbling 1.09 per cent.
“Today, the benchmark indices experienced profit booking at higher levels. Among sectors, the IT index lost the most, correcting 2.20 per cent, whereas despite weak market sentiment, the PSU Bank index rallied over 1.40 per cent,” noted Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research at Kotak Securities.
Gainers and losers
Among individual Nifty 50 stocks, Eternal emerged as the top gainer, surging 3.44 per cent to close at ₹312.45, followed by Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, which gained 1.72 per cent to ₹1,268.90. Tata Motors advanced 1.62 per cent to ₹701.30, while Tata Consumer Products rose 0.98 per cent to ₹1,073.00 and Cipla gained 0.87 per cent to ₹1,486.30.
On the losing side, Nestle India led the decline, plummeting 5.57 per cent to ₹2,316.00, while Trent fell 3.94 per cent to ₹5,148.00. Tech Mahindra dropped 3.26 per cent to ₹1,496.20, Shriram Finance declined 3.17 per cent to ₹633.30, and Reliance Industries slipped 1.53 per cent to ₹1,402.80.
The macroeconomic backdrop remained supportive with robust manufacturing activity data. “The latest data revealed robust manufacturing activity—the HSBC India Manufacturing PMI rose to 59.2 in July 2025 from 58.4 in June—while the Services PMI eased to 59.4 from 60.4, reflecting a modest deceleration in services growth,” according to Ashika Institutional Equities.
Rupee retreats
Currency markets saw mixed action as the rupee opened strongly with 0.30 per cent gains but gave up those gains during the session. “Rupee opened strongly with 0.30 per cent gains supported by a weaker dollar index near 97.30 in early trade. However, as the dollar index began to recover intraday, the rupee gave up its gains and settled near 86.40 from the day’s high of 86.25,” said Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst at LKP Securities.
Gold prices declined amid reduced safe-haven demand following fresh trade deal announcements. “Gold traded weak as trade deals between the US and Japan, and potential agreements with the EU, weighed on safe-haven demand. Comex gold has declined by around $60 since yesterday, while MCX gold dropped nearly ₹1,500 to ₹98,600,” Trivedi added.
Technical analysts highlighted key resistance and support levels for the market. “The Nifty slipped lower as it faced stiff resistance around the 25,250–25,260 zone. On the downside, support remains intact at 24,900; a decisive break below this level could trigger a correction in the market,” said Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities.
“Though the Q1 earnings are broadly in line, it does not justify the premium valuation; India is trading at a 3-year high of 21x P/E,” Nair cautioned, highlighting valuation concerns amid the earnings season.
Looking ahead, market participants remain cautious with focus shifting to next week’s U.S. Federal Reserve policy decision and ongoing earnings announcements. “Market participants remain cautious ahead of next week’s U.S. Federal Reserve policy decision, which is expected to provide further direction,” Trivedi noted, suggesting continued volatility in the near term as global monetary policy cues and domestic earnings developments continue to drive market sentiment.

Beloved Food Network star Anne Burrell died by suicide, according to the New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner.
On Thursday morning, the chief medical examiner listed the cause of death as “acute intoxication due to the combined effects of diphenhydramine, ethanol, cetirizine, and amphetamine.”
The celebrity chef and host of “Worst Cooks in America” died June 17 at her home in New York. She was 55.
The Food Network honored Burrell’s legacy with a night of curated episodes of “Worst Cooks” on June 25. Her final season on “Worst Cooks,” co-hosted with Gabe Bertaccini, is scheduled to premiere July 28.
Following the news of Burrell’s sudden death, her co-stars and colleagues paid tribute on social media.
“A very special person who shared her love of cooking with a generation,” Tyler Florence, Burrell’s longtime “Worst Cooks” co-host, wrote on Instagram following her death. “I was lucky to have a front row seat to watch her gift. She was an incredible Chef and I learned a lot from her, as we all do with one another.”
Burrell “owned New York City” and could often be found at Rangers games, Florence continued. While filming “Worst Cooks,” Burrell would join Florence’s family for dinner once a week and the two would stay out late drinking red wine if they didn’t have work the next day.
“Anne had a collage of star tattoos on her left arm. I asked her what they meant and she said she loved the night sky. And, how lucky she felt to be a star,” Florence wrote. “She was one of the brightest. There’s a new star in the sky tonight. I see you Anne. With all your sparkle, looking down.”
Fellow Food Network star Bobby Flay, who co-hosted “Worst Cooks” for four seasons, posted on his Instagram story a photo of Burrell holding two Maine Coon cats, noting that the chef was the one who introduced him to the breed. Flay’s late cat Nacho is a Maine Coon and the inspiration behind his cat food brand “Made by Nacho.”
“Worst Cooks in America was the funnest show on TV,” Flay wrote. “All of your co-hosts (me included) were just along for the Anne Burrell ride.”
Model Gigi Hadid, who appeared alongside Burrell on an episode of “Beat Bobby Flay” in 2020, also took to Instagram to express her grief.
“As a longtime fan, getting to share this day with her was a dream come true,” Hadid wrote in a story. “I wish we could have done it again. She was awesome. Rest in Peace Legend.”
Other Food Network regulars who honored Burrell include chefs Alex Guarnaschelli, Giada De Laurentiis and Maneet Chauhan; “Worst Cooks” co-hosts Beau MacMillan, Robert Irvine and Carla Hall; “The Next Food Network Star” winner Aarti Sequeira; and “Cake Boss” star Buddy Valastro.
“Anne, your passion, energy, and love for food lit up every kitchen,” Valastro wrote on Instagram. “You were a true force and a beautiful soul. Rest in peace, Chef.”
This week’s properties are three-bedroom homes in Long Beach and Stamford.

Archaeologists recently uncovered the ancient skeletons of possible Black Death victims – buried just beneath one of London’s most popular tourist spots.
Historic Royal Palaces (HRP), the organization that manages the Tower of London, shared the news with Fox News Digital. The discoveries were made during an excavation in the spring, marking the first dig at the Tower of London in three decades.
It took place ahead of a scheduled renovation of the Church of St. Peter ad Vincula, a chapel that dates back to the 15th century.
SINKHOLE IN HISTORIC CITY REVEALS MEDIEVAL HOSPITAL HIDING JUST BENEATH STREET LEVEL
“As a final resting place for many who lived or were imprisoned within the Tower’s walls – including three queens and two Catholic saints – [the church] undoubtedly has a few stories to tell,” HRP said. “But much of its earlier history remains unknown.”
It added, “Now, finds from the most significant excavation at the Tower in a generation are beginning to shed light on both the development of its chapel and some of the people connected with it.”

One of the most eyebrow-raising finds was a mass grave of 14th-century skeletons, which officials said were “possibly linked to the Black Death.”
In a separate discovery, archaeologists found even older graves in coffins – likely belonging to high-status individuals.
HISTORY BUFF UNCOVERS LOST MEDIEVAL MONASTERY THANKS TO STRANGE MAP SYMBOL
“Three skeletons from the late 12th or early 13th century were also uncovered,” the statement read. “These individuals appeared to have been buried in coffins — an unusual practice at the time, possibly indicating high-status burials.”
Researchers discovered 20 sets of human remains, some dating back to the 12th and 13th centuries. (Historic Royal Palaces)
In total, the remains of 20 individuals were found during the excavation.
Officials also identified a fragment of a burial shroud at the site, which HRP described as “extremely rare” since it is made of fabric.
“This is just the tip of the iceberg — there is so much more to learn through further analysis about the people, as well as the buildings.”
“One separate burial contained two 12th- to early 13th-century pots filled with charcoal – exceptionally rare examples of medieval grave goods previously recorded only once in England,” the statement added.
“These finds will now undergo further scientific analysis.”

Alfred Hawkins, a curator of historic buildings at HRP, described the excavation as a “generational opportunity.”

“These excavations were essential as part of our mission to provide greater access for people to visit this important place of worship, but they have also given us an amazing opportunity to explore the site in more depth than ever before,” he said.
In addition to the skeletal finds, archaeologists also uncovered “tantalizing hints of the chapel’s earlier incarnations,” HRP said.
“This marks the first major archaeological dig in this part of the Tower.”
Though the current chapel was built in 1520, officials found evidence of “a large-scale burning event,” which points towards the destruction of an earlier structure — likely the one built by Edward I in 1287.

“A compacted layer of Reigate stone unearthed during the dig may date even earlier – potentially to works by Henry III in 1240,” HRP said. “Elsewhere, a large section of wall and what may be a floor surface could be remnants of Henry I’s 12th-century chapel, about which very little is known.”
“This marks the first major archaeological dig in this part of the Tower, offering a rare opportunity to redraw the map of the medieval fortress and enhance our understanding of those who lived, worshiped, and died there.”
In addition to skeletal discoveries, archaeologists also found a building foundation from before 1512. (Historic Royal Palaces)
Jane Sidell, principal inspector of ancient monuments at Historic England, said the project helps gain insight into Tower residents “in a way we have never been able to do before.”

We did ask Lego for comment on the potentially misleading nature of the video promo, and while we didn’t receive any response in time for publication, Lego did confirm that the Lego Game Boy isn’t playable, but highlighted that the buttons do move like real buttons. A nice bit of attention to detail that is continued across the 421-piece replica.
For a start, it’s almost identical in size, standing 14cm tall and 9cm wide, and with all original features accounted for. Of course, those pressable bright pink A/B buttons, the D-pad, and start and select buttons are present and correct, but there’s also the volume wheel on the side, the speaker grille along the corner, and a battery “light”—even a serial number, plus properly labelled bricks for everything from the on/off switch to the EXT connector and headphones port.

However, arguably the best parts are the source of the apparent confusion: those brick-built games—The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening and Super Mario Land—and the swappable lenticular screens, that animate famous scenes when viewed at different angles. Purists might prefer the lenticular start screen, though.
The decidedly unplayable but eminently buildable Lego Game Boy is available for pre-order today for $60, and will be available from 1 October. Sadly there’s no word on coming Lego versions of the Game Boy Printer or Game Boy Camera.

What are quote trade slippages?
quote trade slippages
Slippage is a common term in financial trading that refers to the difference between the expected price of a trade and the actual price at which it is executed. In the context of a quote trade, slippage can still occur, although the mechanisms and causes may differ slightly from those seen in traditional order book executions. Understanding quote trade slippages is important for both retail and institutional investors, especially when trading in volatile markets or with large order sizes.
A quote trade involves a trader requesting a price from a counterparty, usually a broker or market maker, and then deciding whether to accept or reject that quoted price. The intention behind this method is to lock in a fixed price for the trade, reducing uncertainty and potential slippage. However, slippage in a quote trade can occur when there is a delay between the time a quote is received and when it is acted upon. If market conditions change rapidly during that short interval, the counterparty might adjust the quote or withdraw it altogether, leading to a revised price that is less favorable than initially expected.
This type of slippage is often more psychological than mechanical. The trader sees an acceptable quote, but by the time a decision is made, the quote has expired or changed. Unlike automated order book executions where slippage results from price movements during order routing, quote trade slippages result from the delay in human or system response and the dynamic nature of markets. In highly volatile markets, quotes can become outdated within seconds, making timely decision-making essential to minimize slippage.
What are quote trade slippages?
Additionally, quote trade slippages may occur due to partial fills or renegotiations. For instance, in large trades where a single counterparty cannot fulfill the entire volume, multiple quotes might be required from different providers. Each of these quotes may come at slightly different prices, and by the time the trader aggregates them, the final execution price could differ from the originally expected average. This spread in pricing contributes to slippage, even if the trade technically follows the quote trade model.
Another contributing factor to quote trade slippages is the quality and responsiveness of the trading platform or broker. Electronic Request-for-Quote (RFQ) systems are designed to reduce latency and help traders act quickly on firm quotes. However, if the platform experiences lags or if the liquidity providers are slow to respond, the chances of executing at the desired price decrease, increasing the risk of slippage. The reliability of the trading infrastructure thus plays a crucial role in minimizing quote trade slippages.
To manage slippage in quote trade transactions, traders often use time-sensitive quotes with short expiration periods and maintain tight communication with liquidity providers. Institutions may also employ algorithms that automatically accept quotes within predefined tolerance limits, ensuring quick execution and minimizing human delay. Despite these efforts, slippage can never be entirely eliminated, especially in fast-moving markets.
In conclusion, while a quote trade is designed to offer price certainty and minimize slippage, it is not immune to it. Quote trade slippages can arise due to timing delays, volatile markets, partial fills, or platform inefficiencies.

SNIMKE razigranih životinja uvijek nas mogu razveseliti, no jeste li znali da i rakuni mogu pokazivati sreću? Upravo to dokazuje video koji je postao viralan, a koji prikazuje preslatku rakunicu koja ne može sakriti svoje oduševljenje kad shvati da je vrijeme za kupanje.
Video je objavila Kimberly DeFisher, vlasnica rakunice Savvy. Snimka počinje u trenutku kada Savvy primijeti da joj se priprema kupka, a njezina reakcija nasmijala je tisuće gledatelja. Počinje veselo trčati po dvorištu, skače, okreće se i izražava neskriven ushit. Kimberly je u opisu videa s dozom humora napisala: “Možda ih zovu malim lopovima, ali očito vole biti čisti!”
Mogu li rakuni zaista biti kućni ljubimci?
Oduševljenje videom navelo je mnoge da se zapitaju bi li i oni mogli imati rakuna kao kućnog ljubimca. No, stručnjaci za životinje savjetuju oprez.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Iako su izuzetno inteligentni, znatiželjni i u nekim trenucima vrlo privrženi, rakuni nisu idealni kućni ljubimci. Njihove šapice funkcioniraju slično ljudskim rukama, pa mogu otvoriti brave, vrata, ladice i istražiti svaki kutak doma. Usto, poznati su po navici da uzmu predmete koji im se sviđaju i sakriju ih, pa se često može dogoditi da u kući nestane sitnica, a da je upravo rakun za to odgovoran.
Njihova nestašnost i potreba za neprestanim istraživanjem mogu biti iscrpljujuće za vlasnike. Osim toga, u mnogim državama držanje rakuna nije dopušteno bez posebnih dozvola. Rakuni mogu prenijeti bolesti opasne za ljude, a njihov ugriz može uzrokovati ozbiljne zdravstvene probleme.
Iako su na videima izuzetno simpatični i djeluju pitomo, rakuni su ipak divlje životinje i njihovo ponašanje teško je u potpunosti predvidjeti. Zbog svega navedenog, najbolje ih je promatrati izdaleka i diviti im se dok se ponašaju prirodno.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -A cyber-espionage campaign centered on vulnerable versions of Microsoft’s server software now involves the deployment of ransomware, Microsoft said in a late Wednesday blog post.
In the post, citing “expanded analysis and threat intelligence,” Microsoft said a group it dubs “Storm-2603” is using the vulnerability to seed the ransomware, which typically works by paralyzing victims’ networks until a digital currency payment is made.
The disclosure marks a potential escalation in the campaign, which has already hit at least 400 victims, according to Netherlands-based cybersecurity firm Eye Security. Unlike typical state-backed hacker campaigns, which are aimed at stealing data, ransomware can cause widespread disruption depending on where it lands.
The figure of 400 victims represents a sharp rise from the 100 organizations cataloged over the weekend. Eye Security says the figure is likely an undercount.
“There are many more, because not all attack vectors have left artifacts that we could scan for,” said Vaisha Bernard, the chief hacker for Eye Security, which was among the first organizations to flag the breaches.
The details of most of the victim organizations have not yet been fully disclosed, but on Wednesday a representative for the National Institutes of Health confirmed that one of the organization’s servers had been compromised.
“Additional servers were isolated as a precaution,” he said. The news of the compromise was first reported by the Washington Post.
The spy campaign kicked off after Microsoft failed to fully patch a security hole in its SharePoint server software, kicking off a scramble to fix the vulnerability when it was discovered. Microsoft and its tech rival, Google owner Alphabet, have both said Chinese hackers are among those taking advantage of the flaw. Beijing has denied the claim.

Composer Dharan Kumar has dabbled in multiple genres of music throughout his career, but he is mostly known for his melodies, such as ‘Unnai Kandane’ from Parijatham, ‘Poove Poove’ from Siddhu +2, and ‘Siru Thoduthalile’ from Laadam. He intended even his latest independent single, a dance number titled ‘Chi Pae Thu’, as a melody with some rap portions, but it underwent quite the transformation. “Initially, we thought of having a nice melody to the song and bringing a small portion of rap to it. I was planning to lend my vocals to the song, get a proper lyricist, and introduce a rapper who would just do their rap portion alone. But Vaaheesan, a Sri Lankan rapper, came on board. That is where we got these commercial lyrics, like, ettana, engana, pathana… Even the title came as a result of the rapper being involved. Anyone can relate to the title because it is a common part of conversations in Tamil Nadu. I like the fact that even the kids have caught on to it. So it became a mix of both a fun commercial song and a melodic love track,” says Dharan about his latest hit.
Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty declined in early trade on Thursday amid profit-taking in blue-chip stocks and continuous foreign fund outflows.
Despite a positive start, the 30-share BSE Sensex failed to carry forward the momentum and fell later in the trade. The benchmark declined 130.92 points to 82,595.72 in early trade. The 50-share NSE Nifty dipped 23 points to 25,196.90.
From the Sensex firms, Trent, Kotak Mahindra Bank, UltraTech Cement, Bajaj Finance, Tech Mahindra, Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys and Axis Bank were among the biggest laggards.
However, Tata Motors, Eternal, Sun Pharma and Tata Steel were among the gainers.
Infosys Ltd on Wednesday reported an 8.7 per cent rise in June quarter net profit and narrowed its full-year revenue forecast after stronger-than-expected earnings growth.
In Asian markets, South Korea’s Kospi, Japan’s Nikkei 225 index, Shanghai’s SSE Composite index and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng were trading in positive territory.
The US markets ended higher on Wednesday.
India and the UK will sign a free trade agreement on Thursday in London that will allow export of labour-intensive products such as leather, footwear and clothing at concessional rates, while making imports of whisky and cars from Britain cheaper.
The pact also helps double trade between the two economies to $120 billion by 2030.
“US striking trade deals with many countries is slowly removing concerns surrounding tariff wars. In the mother market US, good corporate earnings are providing the fundamental support to the market. Good Q1 numbers from Infosys can provide support to the weak IT index,” VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited, said.
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth ₹4,209.11 crore on Wednesday, according to exchange data. However, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) bought stocks worth ₹4,358.52 crore in the previous trade.
Global oil benchmark Brent crude climbed 0.31 per cent to $68.72 a barrel.
On Wednesday, the Sensex jumped 539.83 points or 0.66 per cent to settle at 82,726.64. The Nifty gained 159 points or 0.63 per cent to settle at 25,219.90.

With many people soaking up the sun at beaches this summer, recent drownings have been raising awareness about the best practices when encountering a rip current – also widely known as a riptide.
Malcolm-Jamal Warner, best known for his portrayal of Theo Huxtable on “The Cosby Show,” was on a family vacation in Costa Rica when he tragically passed away.
Currents pulled Warner, 54, into the waters on July 20. People jumped in to rescue him, yet first responders were unable to revive him, Fox News Digital previously reported.
FORMER GEORGIA POLICE OFFICER DEAD AFTER SAVING 5 IN BEACH RIP CURRENT
Last week, a decorated former police officer and ex-Baltimore Orioles minor league player tragically drowned in an attempt to save a family in Pawleys Island, South Carolina.
Chase Childers heroically dove into the water after witnessing four people struggling. Childers was swept away due to the rip current, resulting in his death, Fox News Digital reported.

Supervisory Border Patrol Agent Eric Cespedes drowned on July 11 while visiting South Padre Island, Texas. He was rescuing his children from a current but then was pulled under the water himself, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
There have already been 36 deaths reported so far this year, according to the National Weather Service.
Chris Brewster of the United States Lifesaving Association told Fox News Digital that every year there are reports of citizen rescuers who try to help those struggling in rip currents and do not survive.
BEACH BACTERIA WARNINGS PLAGUE FOURTH OF JULY WEEKEND PLANS NATIONWIDE
“We don’t recommend that people try to rescue others, partly for this reason, but we do recommend that if people try to rescue others, they always take a floatation device, like a body board, life jacket, or anything that floats,” Brewster said.
Brewster said that while many say “riptides,” the correct terminology is rip currents — as these are not caused by tides.

“Rip currents occur at any beach where there is surf. What happens is that the surf pushes water up the slope of the beach. Gravity pulls it back,” said Brewster.
“It can concentrate in some cases and cause these concentrated currents of water moving away from the beach.”
Brewster co-authored a peer-reviewed study estimating rip current rescues and drowning in the U.S. published in Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences.
Rip currents were found to cause 81.9% of rescues on surf beaches. It’s possible that more than 100 fatal drownings per year occur due to them.
JULY FOURTH BOATERS WARNED ABOUT DEADLY WATERFRONT DANGER WITH LIFESAVING SUMMER TIPS
Greg Dusek, NOAA’s National Ocean Service senior scientist, told Fox News Digital they typically form at low spots or breaks in sandbars as well as near structures such as jetties and piers.
“Rips can be identified by narrow gaps of darker, seemingly calmer water between areas of breaking waves and whitewater, choppy water, differences in watercolor, and a line of foam, seaweed or debris moving seaward,” said Dusek.

Brewster said most people are not aware of rip currents while in the water.
“They notice that they’re further away from the beach than they thought they were, then typically they try to swim back toward the shore and realize they’re making no progress,” said Brewster.
This then “causes panic and that leads them to expend a lot of energy,” he said. That’s what “results in the drowning ultimately,” he said.

Stewart Leonard, grocery store chain president, lost his own toddler son in a swimming pool drowning incident back in 1989, inspiring him to open the Stewie the Duck Swim School – teaching children how to swim.
“The key is to stay calm, conserve energy and swim parallel to the shore until you’re out of the current, then head in at an angle,” Leonard told Fox News Digital.

Said Brewster, “The big picture is that once you realize this is going on, don’t fight the current, because you won’t win. Relax, float, and then try to swim out of the rip.”
There are about 4,500 fatal unintentional drownings each year, with fifty percent of fatal drownings of those over the age of 15 occurring in oceans, lakes and rivers, according to the CDC.

Brewster advises beachgoers to swim near a lifeguard, not away from them.
Leonard shared that parents should be conscious of their children while at the beach.

“Just like having a designated driver when you drink, have a designated watcher when kids are swimming and put your phone down so you aren’t distracted while the kids are in the water,” said Leonard.

FAQ
What Are Hydroponics?
In the simplest terms, hydroponic gardening means to grow plants without roots in soil. Sometimes the plants are suspended in water, like in the Rise or Gardyn; sometimes they’re in pods attached to a wick, like in the Click & Grow; and sometimes they have water sprayed or misted on their roots, like in the Lettuce Grow and Plantaform. Usually this is in concert with an artificial light source, either indoors or in an outdoor enclosure.
What Are the Benefits of Hydroponics?
In addition to the obvious plus of cleaner produce without mud, dirt, or synthetic pesticides, hydroponic systems use much less water than conventional growing methods, since all the water used is either recirculated or taken up by the plants. Some farmers also say they get higher yields from hydroponic systems, as the variables of weather, light, and nutrients are far easier to control. And, because of these variables, farmers are also able to grow varieties of plants from just about any season or region. And there are no weeds!
What Kinds of Things Can I Grow in a Hydroponic Garden?
Just about anything you can think of! I asked FX Rouxel, creator of Gardyn, if there was anything you couldn’t grow in these systems, other than ground-dwelling plants like peanuts or potatoes. “All the things that have big roots,” he said—like carrots, parsnips, and so on. “Otherwise, mostly things that are too big, like apples or lemons.” So, there you have it: No long roots, no trees. But anything else is fair game to try.
What Are the Downsides of Hydroponics?
First of all, it’s no secret hydroponic systems cost more than just planting some seeds outside in the dirt. Then you’ve got to worry about power outages, pump maintenance, algae, and just general maintenance. And if you’re not careful, water can harbor some nasty stuff, even if that’s just fertilizer, as WIRED reviewer Lisa Wood Shapiro found when she reviewed the Plantaform (4/10, WIRED Review).
Will I Save Money by Growing My Own Vegetables?
In short, no. There are many ways to build your own hydroponic system with items from the hardware store. The ready-made systems simply remove a great deal of hassle and guesswork from the process, and usually look pretty cool in the process. It’s also nice to have warranty and tech support in the event something goes wrong, and is often the case with anything filled with water, when something does go wrong, it goes really wrong.

KVALITETAN san ključan je za zdravlje, a ono što radimo prije odlaska u krevet može značajno utjecati na našu sposobnost da se opustimo i odmorimo. Iako neke večernje navike možda ne djeluju stresno, one zapravo mogu povisiti razinu kortizola – hormona stresa – i tako narušiti san. Stručnjaci upozoravaju na tri navike koje bi trebalo izbjegavati kako bi se poboljšala kvaliteta sna i opće zdravlje.
1. Konzumacija alkohola prije spavanja
Iako čaša vina može djelovati umirujuće, stručnjaci upozoravaju da alkohol ozbiljno narušava san. “Alkohol je poguban za spavanje. Ljudi kažu da im pomaže da zaspu, ali zapravo ih samo uspava. Zdrav san je postupan, blag proces koji traje 10 do 30 minuta. Alkohol dovodi do isprekidanog sna i smanjuje REM fazu”, ističe stručnjakinja za spavanje Jessica Fink za SheFinds.
2. Pijenje kofeina kasno popodne
Liječnica dr. Adrienne Youdim ističe da kofein može utjecati na san satima nakon konzumacije. “Kofein blokira adenozinske receptore u mozgu. Adenozin je neurotransmiter koji potiče san. Kada je receptor blokiran, njegov učinak nestaje, pa kofein izaziva budnost”, objašnjava.

Budući da učinci kofeina mogu trajati i do šest sati nakon konzumacije, kava popijena u 16 sati može utjecati na uspavljivanje i u 22 sata.
3. Korištenje ekrana neposredno prije spavanja
Mnogi navečer gledaju serije ili koriste mobitel dok ne zaspu, no ta navika može poremetiti rad živčanog sustava.
“Svjetlost ekrana ometa proizvodnju melatonina i budnost, ali nije samo svjetlo problem. Pametni telefoni mogu aktivirati simpatički živčani sustav ‘bori se ili bježi’, povećavajući broj otkucaja srca i tjeskobu”, navodi dr. Youdim. Umjesto toga, savjetuje čitanje knjige, vježbe disanja ili meditaciju prije spavanja.
