IMUNOLOŠKI sustav sastoji se od zaštitnih stanica, tkiva i organa koji zajedno rade na obrani tijela od infekcija i štetnih tvari. Kada razmišljate o hrani koja jača imunitet, vjerojatno vam prvo na pamet padaju naranče ili brokula zbog visokog udjela vitamina C. No, postoji i tropsko, kremasto i manje poznato voće koje može značajno pridonijeti vašem zdravlju – papaja. Ovo voće nije samo ukusno i svestrano, već je i prepuno hranjivih tvari, piše EatingWell.
Četiri načina kako papaja podržava imunološki sustav
Bogata vitaminom C
Papaja je izvanredan izvor vitamina C, ključnog nutrijenta koji moramo unositi prehranom. “Jedna srednja papaja osigurava više od sto posto preporučene dnevne vrijednosti vitamina C, jedne od najčešće spominjanih hranjivih tvari zbog svojih svojstava koja podržavaju imunitet”, kaže nutricionistica Alyssa Pacheco.
Dovoljan unos vitamina C ključan je za funkciju T i B limfocita, dviju vrsta bijelih krvnih stanica. T-stanice uništavaju stanice zaražene virusima, dok B-stanice proizvode antitijela koja se bore protiv toksina, bakterija i virusa.
Podržava zdravlje crijeva
Osim slatkog mesa, jestive su i paprene sjemenke papaje. Jedna šalica papaje sadrži oko 2,5 grama vlakana. “Vlakna podržavaju zdravlje crijeva i raznolik crijevni mikrobiom. Otprilike 70 posto vašeg imunološkog sustava nalazi se u vašim crijevima, a raznolik crijevni mikrobiom može ga ojačati”, objašnjava Pacheco.
Papaja također sadrži enzim papain, koji ima antivirusna i protuupalna svojstva te pomaže u razgradnji bjelančevina i boljoj apsorpciji hranjivih tvari.

Pomaže u borbi protiv upala
Papaja je bogata antioksidansima koji se bore protiv slobodnih radikala i pomažu smanjiti upale u tijelu. “Papaja je prepuna hranjivih tvari i antioksidansa poput vitamina A i beta-karotena; ove hranjive tvari mogu smanjiti upalu i oksidativni stres, što može poboljšati imunološki sustav”, dodaje Pacheco.
Također je dobar izvor likopena, snažnog antioksidansa koji se povezuje s prevencijom kardiovaskularnih bolesti i određenih vrsta raka.
Kako uključiti papaju u prehranu
Nutricionistica Kristy Del Coro savjetuje: “Volim dodavati papaju u salate ili smoothieje ili je jesti samu s malo svježeg soka limete za osvježavajući i hranjiv međuobrok.” Pacheco napominje da su i sjemenke jestive: “Imaju papren i gorak okus, ali mnogi ljudi uživaju u njima zbog njihovih probavnih prednosti”.

SELENA Gomez prošli je četvrtak na Instagramu podijelila kako je izgledala njezina djevojačka zabava u Meksiku, na koju je povela najbliže prijateljice. Vikend je, čini se, bio ispunjen zabavom i svim klasičnim bridal detaljima.
Pop zvijezda, osnivačica Rare Beautyja i glumica, zaručena je s Bennyjem Blancom od prosinca 2024. – mnogi nagađaju da je vjenčanje planirano za rujan, a djevojačka zabava krajem kolovoza savršeno se uklapa u taj plan.
Društvo je, čini se, uživalo u sunčanju na jahti i večerama uz svijeće na plaži. Na drugim fotografijama i videima vidi se kako plešu i pjevaju u vili u Cabo San Lucasu, a Selena im je priredila i nastup mariachi benda. Objavu je popratila pjesmom Teenage Dream Katy Perry, koju je upravo Blanco suosmislio i producirao.
Pokazala odlične outfite
Na fotkama je Gomez pokazala i nekoliko upečatljivih outfita, većinom u bijeloj boji, u skladu s prigodom. Na jednoj fotografiji nosila je kratku bijelu haljinu ukrašenu svjetlucavim šljokicama i biserima brenda Retrofête, o kojoj smo već pisali.
Pokazala je i bijeli bikini s motivom školjki brenda LSPACE, uz kratki veo s izvezenim natpisom bride to be. Posebno romantično izdanje bila je bijela haljina sa zvonolikim rukavima i pletenim cvjetnim detaljima popularnog brenda Cult Gaia, koji je omiljen i među Hrvaticama.

Ispod njezine objave zaredalo se mnoštvo komentara, a mnogi su joj poručili da je “najljepša buduća mladenka”. “Ona sjaji”, “Prekrasna”, “Najljepša buduća mladenka!! Volim te!”, “Izgleda da si se odlično provela”, pisali su joj.
Ako vas uskoro čeka djevojačka zabava na moru ili negdje gdje vladaju visoke temperature, Selena je pokazala fantastične outfite koji mogu poslužiti kao inspiracija – od romantičnih haljina do kupaćih kostima i detalja za plažu. U nastavku izdvajamo komade u kojima je očarala.

The iPhone 17 series is all set to make its debut at the “Awe Dropping” event on September 9. The most flashy upgrades to this year’s iPhone lineup will be with the new thin and light iPhone 17 Air along with the iPhone 17 Pro models. While Apple hasn’t revealed any details about the new phones, we have had plenty of leaks throughout the last year that give us a good idea of what to expect from the two devices and how they may stack up against each other.
iPhone 17 Air vs. iPhone 17 Pro Max
Design:
Both the iPhone 17 Air and iPhone 17 Pro Max are likely to come with a horizontal camera layout this time around. However, the iPhone 17 Air will likely feature a smaller pill-shaped cutout like the Pixel devices, while the iPhone 17 Pro Max is tipped to get a larger rectangular cutout that could eclipse most of the upper half of the device.
The big difference between these two devices is likely to be in their construction, with the iPhone 17 Air said to weigh around 145 grams and have a thickness of around 5.5mm.
The iPhone 17 Pro Max, on the other hand, could have a thickness of around 7.75mm and would weigh well over 220 grams.
Camera:
Both the iPhone 17 Air and iPhone 17 Pro Max are likely to come with the same 24MP selfie shooter, with the ability to crop up to 2x images without any detail loss.
The iPhone 17 Air, however, could have a single 48MP camera sensor and lack support for either a telephoto or an ultra-wide angle lens.
Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is likely to get a major telephoto camera upgrade, with the sensor going up from 12MP on its predecessor to 48MP on the new model. This could mean that the new phone could potentially have a triple 48MP setup on the back.
Display:
Both the iPhone 17 Air and iPhone 17 Pro Max are expected to come with a 120Hz ProMotion OLED display. The iPhone 17 Pro Max could get a 6.9-inch real estate, while the iPhone 17 Air could come in a 6.6-inch size.
Processor:
The iPhone 17 Pro Max is said to come powered by the A19 Pro chipset based on TSMC’s 3nm architecture. The new processor is expected to result in marginal improvements in performance and battery life compared to the last generation.
Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 Air could come with the A19 chipset, much like the iPhone 17. Both the phones, however, could get support for 12GB of RAM that could help improve multi-tasking related tasks along with running Apple Intelligence-based features.
Battery:
The iPhone 17 Pro Max could come with a 5,000mAh battery, up from 4,676mAh on the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Paired with the improvement in the processor and the same screen size, this is expected to result in improved battery life than the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to come with a 2,800-3,000mAh battery setup, which could make it the only iPhone 17 model that may not last a full day on a single charge.
Price:
If leaks are to be believed, the iPhone 17 Air could retain the same starting price as the iPhone 16 Plus from last year, which could result in a $899 starting price.
Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 Pro Max could have a $50 higher starting price than last year due to a rise in internal parts for Apple owing to the US government-induced tariffs. The phone could begin at a starting price of $1,249 in the US.
Rajshri Deshpande treads the fine line between acting and activism with strong conviction. In a cinematic landscape where female desire is still framed with shame or silence, her portrayal of Naina in Prime Video’s Rangeen is nothing short of radical.
Naina is the lonely wife of Adarsh Johri, a small-town newspaper owner played by Viineet Kumar Singh. Stuck in a loveless marriage, she begins an affair with a local gigolo, only to be discovered by her husband, who, devastated, becomes a gigolo himself. While the premise may seem whimsical, Deshpande sees it as a quiet rebellion. “Naina is a woman who dares to ask for more, not just intimacy, but agency,” she says, “she’s invisible, confined to the margins of her life.”
The role resonated deeply with Deshpande, who is always keen on doing layered, unflinching characters that challenge social constructs. “It’s the reality of life,” she says. “These are our stories, hidden, silenced, swept under the carpet. We’ve been conditioned to follow certain protocols; this is how society functions, and there are moral grounds for it. Anything that challenges that is seen as taboo.”
For her, Naina’s emotional and sexual awakening is radical not because of what she does—but because she dares to want it. “She doesn’t want to be kept in a corner like a flower pot; she wants to be the flowers of the house,” Deshpande reflects. “She wants to be seen, heard, and felt. And that’s not just desire, it’s her personal revolution.”
What makes Rangeen powerful, she insists, is how it reframes female desire through liberation rather than guilt. “These stories are often coated with shame. But here, there’s freedom,” she says. “This isn’t one of those films where a woman’s desire comes with punishment.”
This expectation isn’t exclusive to women. Even men who deviate from their family duties are shamed, Deshspande believes. “Everyone carries this burden of responsibility. But sometimes, it’s okay to choose yourself,” she says.
Despande’s own life has been one of reinvention. The actor won critical acclaim for her poignant portrayal of Neelam Krishnamoorthy in Trial By Fire, the searing Netflix docudrama based on the 1997 Uphaar Cinema tragedy. Audiences also know her from Manto, Angry Indian Goddesses, Sacred Games, and the Marathi film Satyashodhak.
She calls herself a ‘mimic artist’ who thrives on transformation. “I was depressed after moving to Mumbai. I was from a small town, trying to build a career. But I wasn’t happy,” she shares. “So I started from scratch. And now, I tell myself, I can start over a thousand times. I have no fear of losing anything.”
For her, art and education are two sides of the same coin. “Cinema, art, education—they all reflect society and shape how we think. Characters that make you laugh, cry, or reflect are just as important as textbooks,” she says.
The same spirit of courage drives her activism. In 2019, Despande founded the Nabhangan Foundation, which focuses on empowering girls in rural communities of Maharashtra. So far, she has helped establish three schools, restored water supply in villages, and secured government funding for sanitation projects. “The more I work at the grassroots, the more I understand that cinema and social work complement each other,” she says.
While she has screen projects lined up, her heart is just as invested in social work. “I’ve always been grounded,” she says. “Engaging with real issues helps me realise what matters.” Deshpande reminds us that true power lies in choosing visibility—in life, in art, and in the quiet revolutions we dare to begin.
Foreign investors pulled out ₹34,993 crore (around $4 billion) from Indian equity markets in August, making it the sharpest sell-off in six months, weighed down by US tariffs on Indian exports and pricey domestic valuations.
The withdrawal was nearly double the ₹17,741 crore outflow recorded in July.
With this, the total outflow by Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) in equities reached ₹1.3 lakh crore mark so far in 2025, data with the depositories showed.
Market experts believe that withdrawals were triggered by a combination of global and domestic factors.
The latest withdrawal was the sharpest since February, when FPIs dumped Indian equities worth ₹34,574 crore.
“The announcement of steep US tariffs of up to 50 per cent on Indian exports dented sentiment significantly, raising concerns over India’s trade competitiveness and growth outlook,” Himanshu Srivastava, Associate director – Manager Research, Morningstar Investment, said.
“At the same time, corporate earnings for the June quarter for a few key sectors fell short of expectations, further dampening investor appetite,” he added.
According to V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments, the simple explanation for this massive selling by the FPIs is the relatively high valuations in India compared to valuations in other markets. This is making FPIs to move money to cheaper markets.
It is important to note that FPIs have been sustained buyers in the primary market for long. This year, despite massive selling through the exchanges, they bought equity for ₹40,305 through the primary market where valuations of the IPOs are fair, he added.
On the other hand, FPIs invested ₹6,766 crore in the debt general limit and withdrew ₹872 crore in the debt voluntary retention route during the period under review.
Finally, serving people with humility can open doors for Christ’s love to flow from our lives into their lives.Being humble shows spiritual strength at work. When Jesus washed his disciples’ feet in John 13, he showed that humbly serving others is the way to true greatness in God’s kingdom. Jesus tells them in John 13:14: “Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet.” Serving with humility involves putting other people’s needs ahead of our own. We can do so by volunteering at a community organization, helping with behind-the-scenes tasks at church, or doing extra chores at home without complaining. It’s important to serve with the pure motives of just showing people Christ’s love, without expecting anything in return. Philippians 2:3-4 reminds us: “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.” When we serve like this, we reflect how Jesus served people with humility during his life on earth. As Jesus says in Mark 10:45: “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Service with humility points people to Jesus instead of to us, which helps them find hope!
In conclusion, our fallen world is full of pain, but we can point people to hope by showing them Christ’s love. Jesus calls us to share his love whenever we have opportunities to do so. Every thoughtful gesture we do faithfully as we try to share Christ’s love matters. Jesus will use all of our faithful efforts to reach out to hurting people with his love!
Spotted these days on everything from quiet cul-de-sacs to bustling main streets, golf carts are no longer just for the fairway. They’re now street legal in many communities as families ditch their minivans and SUVs to run quick errands or ramble around town.
“A slow-rolling cavalry is conquering America’s public roads,” The Wall Street Journal recently noted.
While four-wheeled carts are changing the way small towns move, not everyone is on board with the craze. In the “r/nashville” Reddit forum, one user recently asked, “When did we decide golf carts were fine for the roads?”
COASTAL CITY GREENLIGHTS NEW VISITOR TAX AMID WIDESPREAD OVERTOURISM TREND
“This sounds like a ‘rich side of town’ problem,” commented another user.
Yet another person wrote, “I began hearing about them referred to as NEVs — ‘neighborhood electric vehicles’ — in 2008 as a greener way to reduce traffic for short distances.”

“When wealthy people started to consider them fashionable,” said a different user.
One Redditor wrote, “They are a plague in my neighborhood.”
But another person said, “Golf carts are far safer than pickup trucks (especially lifted), SUVs and even sedans. Basically, golf carts are safer than cars for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians.”

A user on a different Reddit forum, “r/homeowners,” asked, “What’s the deal with golf carts and UTVs (utility task vehicle)?”
The person shared that his or her neighborhood has changed over the years and said that it’s “now starting to get what I would call more ‘suburban’ people.”
“They are a plague in my neighborhood,” said one person about today’s ubiquitous golf carts.(iStock)
The post continued, “I’m not judging. I just don’t understand it. We don’t have a golf course anywhere nearby. I feel like this is something that is maybe more common in the further-out suburbs.”
It went on, “I’ll often see them driving through the neighborhood or even on the larger streets nearby where the speed limit is 40mph. Sometimes it’s teens/tweens driving them. Is this a common trend?”
“I just don’t understand it. We don’t have a golf course anywhere nearby.”
A different Redditor said, “Fairly common here as well, especially in nicer subdivisions with community pools [and a] nearby park.”
Another user asked, “Maybe it’s becoming like a status symbol?”

A different person defended the use of the carts.
“I have mine street legal and run errands on the weekends or cruise around on it when I’m bored,” the person wrote. “It’s a fun and exhilarating machine that gets good gas mileage, but can also shred going up mountains or in the snow.”
One city law says golf carts are only permitted on roads with a speed limit of 35 miles per hour or less — and that the carts must remain within four miles of the owner’s residence.(iStock)
The City of Greenville in South Carolina recently reminded residents about a new state law regulating golf carts.
The public service announcement on its X account read, “If you own a golf cart in #GreenvilleSC, a new state law is in effect. Registration, driver requirements and usage rules have been updated.”
Under the updated law, golf carts are only permitted on roads with a speed limit of 35 miles per hour or less and must remain within four miles of the owner’s residence.

Greenville isn’t alone in aiming to manage the rise of golf cart traffic.
In Peach Tree, Georgia — a city of just over 38,000 residents — more than 11,000 golf carts are registered, according to the town’s website.
Golf carts and go-karts caused 50 traffic crashes, resulting in three deaths in Michigan in 2023.(Robert Sherman, Fox News)
Golf carts and go-karts caused 50 traffic crashes, resulting in three deaths in Michigan in 2023, according to the state’s Traffic Crash Reporting System.
Various counties in Michigan have enacted ordinances and implemented public laws to ensure the safety of people riding in carts.

The state does not allow operation 30 minutes before sunset or 30 minutes after sunrise, for example. Also, drivers should not weave through traffic.
Carts are also not allowed to be driven on sidewalks.

Buying a direct-to-consumer bike can be almost as big a gamble as investing in cryptocurrency. While a customer is not likely to lose their shirt investing in a new electric bike, buying a poorly made one may result in a serious crash or catch the garage on fire. For these reasons and more, it’s wise to do some research before clicking on the Add to Cart button.
The highest-end legacy-brand e-MTBs retail for upwards of $14,000. So what do you get for $2,095, the price of Ride1Up’s first-ever electric mountain bike, the TrailRush? At first glance, quite a lot. The California-based company has been around since 2018 and differentiates itself from other direct-to-consumer brands by speccing its bikes with solid components, providing a quality-to-price ratio that it promises “can’t be beat.”
Solid Parts

The TrailRush is a Class III ebike, which means that it doesn’t have a throttle, and the motor maxes out at 28 mph. It’s an aluminum-framed hardtail with a Shimano Deore 10-speed drivetrain, a 120-mm RockShox Judy Silver TK Air Fork, and Tektro Orion Quad Piston brakes—all products with track records that promise solid performance.
It also comes with nice extras, like a 150-mm Exaform dropper seat post and chunky Maxxis Minion tubeless-ready tires that are 29 inches in the front and back—a reasonably priced, high-performance set of tires often preferred by enduro or downhill riders. Interestingly, instead of Presta valves, the tires come with Schrader valves, which is a nice feature if you plan on filling up on air at a gas station.
For e-components, the mid-drive TF Sprinter motor is made by the Brose, the German company that Specialized uses for most of its drive technology. With 90 nm of torque and 250 watts of sustained power, it’s on the low end of force for an electric mountain bike. The 36-volt, 504-watt-hour removable battery runs the length of the down tube and promises 30 to 50 hours of range.
The bike’s front shock has a very big 120 mm of travel, which is common on a cross-country bike, but the frame is overall more relaxed. For example, the size medium frame has a more relaxed riding geometry, with a very long 1,216-mm wheelbase, which gives it more stability. Overall, the TrailRush was built to handle a little bit of everything a trail can throw your way.
Smooth, Quiet Ride

At 57 pounds, the TrailRush is 2 to 12 pounds heavier than the other e-mountain bikes I’ve tested and more than twice the weight of my non-electric cross-country mountain bike. Whether you’re entirely new to mountain biking or amping up your ride from an analog version, it’s imperative to understand that e-MTBs bring great joy, until they run out of battery and you have to push them home. Or, worse, they end up on top of you in a fall, which can be lethal.
NAVIKE za stolom koje se na prvi pogled čine neobičnima ili bezopasnima mogu biti znak nečeg ozbiljnijeg. Stručnjaci upozoravaju da takva ponašanja ponekad ukazuju na ranu fazu frontotemporalne demencije, piše Daily Mail.
Frontotemporalna demencija (FTD) bolest je koja pogađa dijelove mozga odgovorne za osobnost i govor. Od nje boluje i glumac Bruce Willis. Bolest uzrokuje postupno propadanje moždanih stanica, a prvi znakovi uključuju promjene u ponašanju, impulzivnost, gubitak empatije te poteškoće u govoru, poput problema s pronalaženjem riječi.
Neobično ponašanje za stolom
Jedan od manje poznatih, ali čestih simptoma FTD-a su ponavljajuće i opsesivne navike, koje se često javljaju upravo za stolom. Prema ranijim istraživanjima, oboljeli se mogu fiksirati na jednu vrstu hrane i odbijati jesti bilo što drugo. Neki čak jedu nejestive predmete ili uzimaju hranu s tuđih tanjura.
Neuroznanstvenica dr. Marilena Aiello, koja proučava ovo stanje, objašnjava da takvo ponašanje može imati ozbiljne posljedice. “Osim što društveno može izazvati probleme, prehrambene navike postaju opasne i za zdravlje. Neki ljudi zbog prejedanja brzo dobivaju na težini, dok drugi naglo mršave jer jedu samo uski izbor namirnica”, kaže. Uzrok takvog ponašanja vjerojatno leži u promjenama moždanih centara koji reguliraju glad i sitost.
Prvi znakovi bolesti
Nije poznato pokazuje li Bruce Willis i ove prehrambene promjene, ali njegova je supruga Emma Heming Willis nedavno govorila o prvim znakovima koje su primijetili. “Bio je tiši nego inače. Kada bi se obitelj okupila, više se povlačio”, ispričala je za ABC News.

Počeo je gubiti riječi i ponovno mucati, što je već doživio kao dijete. “Postao je povučen, hladniji, kao da više nije isti čovjek. Bio je uvijek topao i privržen, a ta promjena bila je jako zastrašujuća.”
Kako se FTD razlikuje od Alzheimera?
Za razliku od Alzheimerove bolesti, kod koje su prvi znakovi najčešće vezani uz pamćenje i orijentaciju, kod FTD-a prvi simptomi obično su promjene u ponašanju. Kako bolest napreduje, simptomi postaju sve sličniji Alzheimeru – pojavljuju se problemi s hodanjem, gutanjem i učestalim infekcijama.
Može li se bolest izliječiti?
Frontotemporalna demencija trenutačno se ne može izliječiti. No, dostupni su lijekovi i terapije koje mogu usporiti razvoj simptoma i pomoći u očuvanju kvalitete života. Bolest nije izravno smrtonosna, ali povećava rizik od komplikacija poput upala pluća i drugih infekcija.
Točan uzrok FTD-a još nije poznat. Istraživanja upućuju na nakupljanje štetnih proteina u mozgu ili moguća oštećenja krvnih žila koje ometaju dotok kisika i hranjivih tvari do živčanih stanica.

U DIRLJIVOJ objavi objavljenoj na stranici Nada za slavonske pse, volonterka apelira na pomoć u pronalasku doma za jednogodišnjeg psa koji je gluh i trenutačno se nalazi u izrazito nepovoljnim uvjetima, nakon što je iz doma u kojem je odrastao izbačen.
Blue je, kako navodi volonterka, odrastao u kući sa svojom obitelji, no nakon njihova preseljenja u inozemstvo situacija se preokrenula.
“Živio je sa svojim ljudima u kući, a onda su otišli u inozemstvo, njega su poveli pa vratili. Ne može biti tamo. U Švedskoj nema pasa”, navodi autorica s ironijom, dodajući kako je navodno glavni razlog povratka psa taj što je obitelj dobila drugo dijete i više nema vremena za njega.
Kao dodatni razlog odbacivanja psa, spominje se i stanodavac koji “ne želi psa u stanu”. “Svi su razlozi tu”, piše ogorčeno volonterka, dodajući kako se Blue trenutno nalazi u improviziranom boksu: “Nikako ne može biti ni u ovom predivnom boksu gdje su ga sprtili.”
Tko je Blue?
Blue je gluh, mlad pas koji ne reagira na druge pse tijekom šetnje, ali nije poznato kako se slaže s mačkama. Nije kastriran, no volonteri iz udruge ističu da će prije udomljenja obaviti kastraciju. Njegovo “internacionalno ime” Blue, kako pišu u objavi, ne pomaže mu da preživi u svinjcu.

Za sve koji žele pomoći ili udomiti Bluea, važno je da se jave isključivo putem inboxa stranice Nada za slavonske pse. Pas se nalazi u blizini Vukovara.
Za kraj, volonterka obećava Blueu: “Strpi se još malo, izvući ćemo te, obećavam. A kostima te više nitko nikada neće hraniti.”

VENECIJANSKI filmski festival traje, što znači da su se neka od najvećih imena iz filmske industrije uputila u Veneciju i pokazala kreativne modne kombinacije. Iako su Julia Roberts i Leni Klum privukle puno pozornosti svojim odjevnim kombinacijama, i muškarci su pokazali da imaju stila, a posebno nam se svidjelo odijelo kakvo je nosio glumac Andrew Garfield.
Na festivalu se pojavio povodom promocije svojeg novog filma “After the Hunt”, a na premijeri ga je podržala njegova djevojka, glumica Monica Barbaro.
Pronašli smo slične komade
Za ovu je priliku odabrao plavo odijelo s prugastom košuljom. Sako je širok, a hlače su ravnog kroja. Košulju nosi djelomično otkopčanu, što cijeloj kombinaciji daje ležerniji dojam. Na nogama ima tamnosmeđe mokasinke, a od modnih je detalja odabrao sat i diskretnu ogrlicu.

With generative AI making a huge impact in different walks of life, the technology has long been poised to make significant changes to how organizations work. A top Microsoft executive has now predicted that the technology could lead to the end of hierarchies inside companies.
Microsoft’s AI Platform Product Lead Asha Sharma, in an episode of Lenny’s Podcast, said, “I think the whole kind of organizational construct might start to look different in a few years, so I am pretty excited about it.”
“The org chart starts to become the work chart. I think that tasks and throughput become more important than they have been before. I also think that you just don’t need as many layers,” she added.
“I think in the future work will look really different,” Sharma added.
“And I think at the end of the day, when you have a set of capable agents, and people are capable of more things, you’re not going to start to think in hierarchy and communicating upwards and start to figure out, like kind of outward, task-based type of opportunities,” Sharma further stated.
Sharma also noted that employees will be able to expand their skill set by bringing their own “agent stack” to work, similar to how they bring their own devices.
“You can start to have access to a set of skills that you never had before,” she added.
Big Tech and AI:
Most Big Tech companies are developing their own AI agents, though it isn’t clear how this is impacting the workflow at this point.
However, since last year there have been many job cuts at the top tech companies. For instance, reports claimed that the layoffs of around 6,000 employees by Microsoft this year was linked to reducing layers of management.
Meanwhile, a recent CNBC report revealed that Google has eliminated around 35 percent of its managers who were overseeing small teams in order to reduce bureaucracy and drive efficiency within the company.
“We have to be more efficient as we scale up so we don’t solve everything with headcount,” Google CEO Sundar Pichai reportedly said at the meeting.
Usiru Movie Review: A film set against the windswept Stuart Hills, Usiru opens with a ritual that immediately sets the stage for something different. Pregnant women, under a full moon, gather before Katamma, the local goddess, praying for safe childbirth. It is a tradition steeped in faith, but one that doesn’t sit easily with everyone. A sceptic curses the idol, dismissing the very sanctity of the vow. This contradiction between belief and disbelief could have been the film’s spine — a clash of faith, violence, and the unknown. Unfortunately, Usiru by director Panem Prabhakar chooses instead to scatter itself across crime drama, family emotion, and slasher thrills, never quite settling on what it wants to be.
The story runs on two distinct tracks. On one side is Surya (Santhosh Nadivada), introduced as a juvenile in police custody, whose love for his mother and instinct to protect her define his violent outburst. His time in prison becomes a canvas for redemption, guided by Inspector (Bala Rajawadi) and softened by the presence of the Inspector’s daughter Siri (Apoorva Nagraj). Years later, when he steps out seeking answers about his murdered parents, he is weighed down with grief and vengeance.
Parallelly, Raj (Tilak), a cop demoted to a sleepy village, arrives with his pregnant wife Aishwarya (Priya Hegde). The couple’s domestic warmth is set against an escalating dread. Pregnant women go missing every August, only to be found mutilated. Constable Narayan (Raaghu Ramanakoppa) briefs Raj about missing teens, smuggling, and murders, but he sidesteps conflict to keep his family safe. However, a pregnant woman’s murder leads Raj into the orbit of Simon, Rocket, and a coterie of masked men who seem ripped out of a pulp crime novel. Raj is torn: does he bury himself in safety for his wife’s sake, or risk everything to confront a horror that circles back year after year?
On paper, this dual narrative is ambitious. Faith rituals, a cursed vow, a boy scarred by violence, and a cop confronting systemic evil. The material is ripe for a layered psychological thriller. But on screen, Usiru struggles to align its ambitions. Songs puncture the tension. Graphic violence is used as shock value rather than storytelling. Characters like Surya, who begin with emotional heft, are reduced to plot devices as the film lurches into its second half. The story slips between investigation and gore, losing the suspense it sets out to build.
That said, the film is not without moments that linger. Raj tracing the murders to a chilling annual cycle has the pull of a proper crime procedural. The childhood flashbacks of Surya, his bond with his mother, and the fragile imagery of dolls and paper boats give the film the texture it otherwise lacks. The Stuart Hills backdrop, with its mist and shadows, adds atmosphere that the script doesn’t always earn.
But thrillers live and die by their rhythm, and Usiru cannot hold its breath long enough. It hints at the contrast between faith and fear, cycles of violence, and the fragility of redemption, but weakens them with excess. The result is a film that is unsettling without being suspenseful, and ambitious without being cohesive.
Usiru, which means ‘breath’, begins with a setup that holds promise — part cultural fable, part crime drama — but its uneven delivery leaves it gasping for consistency.
Shall I buy HPCL futures at the current price? What can be the target and stop-loss? – Palani Shanmugam
HPCL (₹375.90): The stock has been in a steady decline since early July. It fell off the resistance at ₹450. Currently at ₹376, it is trading within the support band of ₹370-380. However, the selling pressure is strong and the support may not hold well.
Even if there is a recovery on the back of the aforementioned base, the stock should decisively break out of ₹390 to change the short-term outlook positive. A breakout of ₹390 can lift the stock to ₹415.
With respect to September futures, it ought to break out of ₹395 before you can consider going long. In case the contract breaks out of ₹395, buy with a stop-loss at ₹385 for a target of ₹420.
On the other hand, you can consider short position if September futures slips below ₹372. Target and stop-loss can be ₹350 and ₹382 respectively.
Kerala Tourism UK F-35B advertisement; memes on popular shows and films
When a British F-35B stealth fighter jet made an emergency landing at Kerala’s Thiruvananthapuram International Airport and then found itself unable to take off, it instantly got internet’s humorists going. Meme after meme flowed. But the moment marketing honours belonged to Kerala Tourism, it posted an AI image of the grounded warplane and showed it giving a five-star rating on its stay in Kerala. The text read: “UK F-35B – Kerala is such an amazing place. I don’t want to leave. Definitely recommend.” Followed by five golden stars.
It had the internet in whoops, and got global media coverage. Astonishing isn’t it that a State government handle could be so irreverent and witty?
“We give our social media agency a free hand,” a smiling Sikha Surendran, Director, Kerala Tourism, said describing how the tourism body won the Gold Award for ‘Most Engaging Social Media Campaign’ at the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) meet for its meme-led makeover series.
Riffing away
The entire series was a case study in perfect moment marketing riding on global entertainment trends. For instance, when the new Squid Game series released, Kerala Tourism dropped a pink soldier into the serene chaos of Munnar’s misty hills. To ride the wave of Superman’s latest release, the handle posted the superhero taking a break in the tranquil backwaters of Kerala. “The idea was that even heroes need a houseboat holiday,” quips Shelton Pinheiro, Executive Creative Director at Stark Communications – the ad agency which has handled the Kerala brand for over 20 years, and has been doing the social media duties.
“Even superheroes need a houseboat holiday,” quips Shelton Pinheiro on an ad showing Superman taking a break in the tranquil backwaters of Kerala.
As an April Fools’ Day twist, Kerala Tourism claimed that the Black Panther statue from Wakanda Forever was inspired by Simhapara at Kolukkumalai.
Totally au courant and on top of anything trending, the social media handle would come up with witty riffs that would spark a lot of discussion and lead traffic on to Kerala Tourism’s pages. For instance, inspired by Maurizio Cattelan’s duct-taped banana that rocked the art world as it sold for millions of dollars, Kerala Tourism came up with its own arty banana post, playing up all the offerings in the State.
Changing the discourse
So, how did this communication style evolve? Pinheiro says it all started post Covid. Till then they had been very nuanced and careful, keeping brand sensitivities in mind. “But Post Covid we were forced to communicate through digital platforms a lot. Perhaps the first lighthearted take was with the ‘Change of Air’ campaign that Kerala Tourism did, which was initially a take on Covid but later also on the Delhi air pollution issue.
“The client was fine with that, We thought that humorous takes on current events were working for us. So we started working on witty takes and developed memes as a tool,” says Pinheiro.
Crossover element
Pinheiro points out how there is always a “crossover” element in the Kerala Tourism campaigns, which is deliberate. “Our markets were international. And Malayalis were present globally. So we responded to entertainment events around the world.” The overall reach of the meme makeover series was 1.2 million while engagement was 89.7k.
Breaking Pappadam!
Last year, for its Onam Fest State of Harmony campaigns, it blended global fandoms with festive flair, launching a meme-driven series riding on Breaking Bad, Homelander and Thor. For instance, there was a picture of an Onam sadya with pappadams atop with the title ‘Breaking Pappadam’.
Beyond memes, Pinheiro says, the agency also used music in a big way. For instance, Kerala Tourism collaborated with the band When Chai Met Toast for a music video campaign for its Honeymoon Holidays promotion. The song ‘Yellow Paper Daisy’ was filmed in picturesque locations like Munroe Island, and highlighted the State’s unique romantic attractions.
There was also a memorable football rap and a hip hop “Kerala saar” that rode on the internet trend “100 per cent literacy Sir”.
And, now that Kerala is positioning itself as a big destination for weddings, Stark is keeping the crossover element going in its communication. It collaborated with Indian-American singer Vidya Vox for a romantic video song “Shubha Mangalyam” featuring lyrics in English, Hindi and Malayalam, and showcasing the natural beauty of Kerala. The video was a viral hit.
What has been the impact in terms of tourist arrivals? Says Pinheiro, “The purpose was audience engagement, crossover engagement and to talk to the next set of travelers through these memes and culture. Somehow, it has resonated and youngsters now feel that Kerala is their kind of place.”
A frustrated husband drew sympathy online after sharing that his in-laws “always want to go everywhere” with him and his wife, leaving him feeling more like a chauffeur and trip planner.
The man explained in Reddit’s “Am I the A–hole?” forum that his wife’s parents join them on nearly every weekend outing and vacation. Whether it’s a day trip to a park in New Jersey, a visit to Manhattan or even an out-of-state getaway, his wife “doesn’t see anything wrong” with her parents tagging along.
“She says that she is their only child and if her parents don’t go out with us, they do not go out,” the husband wrote, adding that he would not mind them joining occasionally.
NEW DAD SPARKS DEBATE FOR WANTING SOLO VACATION WITH BABY, LEAVING MOM BEHIND
At one point, his wife even uninvited her mother and told her it was because her husband didn’t want them joining.
“Am I being unreasonable for objecting to them coming along so often?” he asked in the online post.

Reddit users overwhelmingly sided with him, ruling he was “NTA,” short for “Not the A–hole.”
“They’re third wheeling and intrusive,” one commenter said.
FAMILY VACATION DRAMA ERUPTS OVER GRANDMOTHER’S REQUEST FOR DINNER WITH HER GROWN KIDS ONLY
“Only child or not, your wife should not be solely responsible for her parents’ social life,” someone else said. “If they choose not to have friends or not to go places with friends they have, that isn’t on either of you.”
Many criticized the wife for putting her husband in this position.
“You have a wife problem, not an in-law problem,” one person wrote.
Another agreed: “She is an [a–hole] to do this to you.”
PARENTS CRASHING HONEYMOONS BECOMES BIZARRE NEW TRAVEL TREND FOR MODERN NEWLYWEDS
But some readers argued he should have anticipated the dynamic before marriage.
“Seems a little late to be upset now,” one person said.
The man’s dilemma sparked a heated discussion on Reddit’s “AITA?” forum.(iStock)
“If you knew this and entered into their family willingly and now want to flip things, I’m going to have to say that [you’re the a–hole,” someone else said.
Others encouraged compromise and communication.
“You need to sit your wife down and have this conversation,” one person said, adding, “Just because she wants them at something doesn’t mean she gets to dictate what you do all the time as a couple.”

“Parents wanting to spend time with their daughter is fine, your wife being chill with that is fine, you not wanting QUITE so much time with them is fine,” someone else said. “The best way forward will probably involve compromise on both sides.”
Nari Jeter, a licensed marriage and family therapist from Tallahassee, Florida, told Fox News Digital that no one is necessarily at fault.
“They just all have different boundaries and expectations,” Jeter said. “It is totally valid and reasonable for him to want to spend some Saturdays and vacations exclusively with his wife.”

She advised the husband to set clear boundaries.

“Saying, ‘Can we spend less time with your family?’ is vague,” she said. “But saying, ‘I’d like to take one solo vacation with you a year and one family vacation a year’ is more specific.”
Or, he could encourage his wife to do more things with her family without him, she added.
Jeter said the wife shouldn’t feel responsible for her parents’ social life, and that her parents should reassure her that it’s healthy for her to spend time with her husband alone.

“Loving and caring parents should understand and respect the reasonable and healthy boundaries of their adult daughter, son-in-law and their marriage,” Jeter said.

There are some premium apps for MacOS that offer more of an iTunes-like experience, but nothing that I vouch for.
Backing Up to Your Chromebook
Here is how to back up files from your Android phone on a Chromebook:
Plug your phone into a USB port on your Chromebook.
Drag down the notification shade and look for a notification from Android System that says something like Charging this device via USB, Tap for more options and tap it.
Look for an option that says File transfer and select it.
The Files app will open on your Chromebook, and you can drag any files you want to copy over.
Backing Up to Another Cloud Service
Maybe you have run out of Google storage, or you prefer another cloud service. There are Android apps for Dropbox, Microsoft’s OneDrive, MEGA, Box, and others. Most of them offer some cloud storage for free, but what you can back up and how you do it differ from app to app.
We looked at how to back up mobile photos on a few of these before, and you can usually set that up to be automatic, though other files often have to be backed up manually. If you want to automatically sync photos and other files across devices using one of these services, then check out the Autosync app. There are specific versions for Dropbox, OneDrive, MEGA, and Box.
Whatever service you choose, make sure to keep your cloud storage safe and secure.
Backing Up a Samsung Phone
If you have a Samsung phone, then you have additional backup options. We recommend sticking with Google, because Samsung backups can be restored only to Samsung phones, but if you want a second backup or you plan to stick with Samsung, here’s how to use Samsung’s cloud service:
VISOKI krvni tlak, poznat i kao “tihi ubojica”, ne predstavlja prijetnju samo za srce i krvne žile, već s vremenom može potiho oštetiti i jetru. Mnogi zanemaruju ovu opasnu vezu, pripisujući suptilne simptome oštećenja jetre običnom umoru, stresu ili starenju, no rano prepoznavanje ključno je za sprječavanje ozbiljnih komplikacija poput ciroze, piše Times of India.
Naime, studija objavljena u časopisu Frontiers in Medicine ističe kako hipertenzija značajno povećava rizik od fibroze jetre, osobito kod osoba sa masnom bolešću jetre povezanom s metaboličkom disfunkcijom (MASLD). Budući da se oštećenje jetre često razvija postupno i bez očitih simptoma, važno je znati prepoznati rane znakove upozorenja.
Pravovremena liječnička intervencija, promjene životnog stila i pravilno upravljanje krvnim tlakom mogu spriječiti teške posljedice poput zatajenja jetre ili metaboličkih poremećaja. U nastavku izdvajamo pet simptoma koje osobe s visokim tlakom najčešće zanemaruju.
Čest umor
Ako osjećate neobjašnjiv umor koji ne nestaje ni nakon odmora, to bi mogao biti znak da je vaša jetra pod stresom. Kada visoki krvni tlak ometa rad jetre, utječe na metabolizam hranjivih tvari i proizvodnju energije, što dovodi do osjećaja iscrpljenosti.
Za razliku od uobičajenog umora, ova je iscrpljenost trajna, a ponekad je prate i mentalna konfuzija ili problemi s koncentracijom. Prepoznavanje ovog simptoma na vrijeme ključno je za daljnje medicinske pretrage.

Nelagoda u trbuhu
Bol ili osjećaj punoće u gornjem desnom dijelu trbuha može signalizirati da je jetra povećana ili upaljena. Iako se ovaj simptom često pogrešno smatra probavnim smetnjama ili nadutošću, uporna nelagoda zahtijeva liječničku pažnju. Dijagnostičke metode poput ultrazvuka mogu rano otkriti povećanje jetre i omogućiti pravovremenu intervenciju prije nastanka trajne štete.
Žutica i promjene na koži
Žutilo kože ili bjeloočnica, poznato kao žutica, jasan je pokazatelj problema s funkcijom jetre. Visoki krvni tlak može pogoršati stanje, što dovodi do povišene razine bilirubina u krvi. Čak i suptilne promjene u boji kože ne smiju se ignorirati jer njihovo rano prepoznavanje omogućuje sprječavanje daljnjeg napredovanja bolesti.
Oticanje nogu i trbuha
Hipertenzija može narušiti sposobnost jetre da proizvodi proteine ključne za regulaciju tekućine u tijelu, što uzrokuje njezino zadržavanje. To se najčešće očituje kao oticanje nogu, gležnjeva ili trbuha, stanje poznato kao ascites. Rano uočavanje oteklina, uz redovitu kontrolu krvnog tlaka i provjeru jetrenih funkcija, presudno je za izbjegavanje komplikacija.
Promjene u boji urina i stolice
Tamna boja urina i blijeda stolica znakovi su poremećaja rada jetre koji se često zanemaruju. Urin je taman zbog prekomjernog izlučivanja bilirubina, dok blijeda stolica ukazuje na nedovoljan protok žuči. Praćenje ovih promjena, uz redovite liječničke preglede, može pomoći u ranom otkrivanju problema i sprječavanju težih oštećenja.

BEN THE Vet, poznat i kao “TikTok veterinar”, diplomirao je 2015. na Sveučilištu u Cambridgeu i specijalizirao se za skrb o malim životinjama. Na društvenim mrežama prati ga više od 220.000 ljudi, a poznat je po tome što dijeli korisne savjete o zdravlju kućnih ljubimaca te otvoreno govori o temama koje drugi izbjegavaju, poput genetike pasmina, tugovanja i eutanazije.
U jednom od svojih nedavnih videa, Ben je komentirao izjavu drugog veterinara koji je rekao da je pogrešno ako vlasnici ne ostanu uz svog ljubimca u njegovim posljednjim trenucima.
“Ne morate biti tamo, i ne trebate se osjećati krivima”
Ben smatra da nitko ne bi trebao biti osuđivan zbog svoje odluke.
“Oproštaj s ljubimcem jedan je od najtežih trenutaka u životu. Naš je zadatak učiniti taj proces što mirnijim i za životinju i za vlasnika”, rekao je.
Objašnjava da uvijek otvoreno razgovara s vlasnicima o cijelom postupku – od papirologije i davanja lijekova do samog trenutka eutanazije – kako bi svatko mogao odlučiti želi li ostati ili ne.
“Ako osjećate da to ne možete podnijeti, to je sasvim u redu. Nitko vas neće osuđivati. Mi ćemo biti uz vašeg ljubimca i pružiti mu nježnost i sigurnost do samog kraja”, poručio je.
Za njega je eutanazija posljednji čin dobrote prema životinji koja pati. Dodaje i kako su vlasnici ionako često preplavljeni osjećajem tuge i krivnje, a da im ne treba dodatno nametati osjećaj srama ako odluče ne prisustvovati.

Podijeljena mišljenja
Video je izazvao podijeljena mišljenja. Mnogi su podržali njegov stav, naglašavajući da nitko ne bi trebao biti osuđivan zbog svoje boli.
“Neki ljudi ne mogu gledati smrt voljene osobe. To ih ne čini lošima”, napisala je jedna korisnica.
“Moj djed nije mogao ostati u istoj zgradi kad su uspavljivali njegove pse. Jednostavno nije mogao to podnijeti”, dodao je drugi.
“Ljudi ponekad nose traume ili duboke strahove povezane sa smrću. Ne možemo znati što netko proživljava”, glasio je treći komentar.
No bilo je i onih koji smatraju da je prisutnost vlasnika u tom trenutku ključna: “Ako niste tu kad vas najviše trebaju, onda ih možda niste ni zaslužili. Nitko ne bi trebao umrijeti sam, pa ni naši psi i mačke.”
Ben na kraju zaključuje da eutanazija uvijek ostavlja dubok trag, ali i da svaki vlasnik ima pravo odlučiti što mu je u tom trenutku emocionalno podnošljivo. Najvažnije je da ljubimac ode mirno, a da vlasnici ne ostanu opterećeni osjećajem krivnje.
“Ako ne možete ostati, to ne znači da niste voljeli svog psa ili mačku. To znači da vas je taj oproštaj duboko pogodio”, poručio je.

MANEKENKA Leni Klum, najpoznatija kao kći Heidi Klum i Flavia Briatorea, pojavila se na filmskom festivalu u Veneciji u društvu svoje majke. Mlada je Leni privukla pozornost svojim odvažnim, a elegantnim izdanjem za koje se pobrinuo Intimissimi.
Nosila je crni korzet, dugu suknju i raskošnu ogrlicu sa smaragdima. Kosu je nosila raspuštenu kako bi dojam bio opušten i mladenački. Šminka i manikura bili su jednostavni i minimalistički kako ne bi skretali pogled s odjeće.
Njezino je izdanje privuklo pozornost i na TikToku, a mnogima se njezino izdanje svidjelo: “Lijepa”, “Prekrasna, baš kao majka”, “Prekrasna je”, “Jako lijepa”, “Kraljica”, “Baš poput majke”.
Donje rublje u službi svečane haljine
Haljinu je za nju sastavio brend donjeg rublja Intimissimi. Na svojoj su stranici otkrili da su kombinirali grudnjak i steznik: “Grudnjak Anna pridružuje se ekskluzivnom stezniku iz La Collezione. Silueta oživljava zahvaljujući dekolteu u obliku srca i krojevima koji naglašavaju struk. Haljina postiže ravnotežu između senzualnosti i stilističke strogoće”.

Chelsea vs Fulham Premier League 2025–26 Free Live Streaming Online and TV Channel Telecast: Chelsea will be looking to carry on their good form when they host Fulham in what would be their third match of the Premier League 2025-26 season. The Blues started off their EPL 2025-26 campaign with a dull goalless draw against Crystal Palace at home, but gave every other team a stark reminder of how dangerous they could be by beating West Ham 5-1 in what was a thoroughly dominant performance. Enzo Maresca will hope that his team continue with the momentum received from that big victory and makes an impact against Fulham. Christopher Nkunku Signs For AC Milan; French Star Makes €42M Move From Chelsea to Serie A Club As He Puts Pen to Paper On Five-Year Long Contract.
In comparison, Fulham have not had an ideal start to their campaign in the Premier League 2025-26. The Cottagers started off the season with a 1-1 draw against Brighton and then followed it up with a similar-looking scoreline against Manchester United, with Emile Smith Rowe coming to their rescue after an own goal saw them trail in the second half. Fulham can take confidence from the fact that they beat Bristol City 2-0 in a second round match in the EFL Cup 2025-26, but Marco Silva would be well aware of the fact that his team would need much more than that to overpower an in-form Chelsea outfit at Stamford Bridge.

Apple’s iPhone 17 series is just a couple of weeks away from debut, with the Cupertino-based tech giant already announcing its hardware launch of the year would be called “Awe Dropping” and would be held on September 9. Just like every year, the spotlight at this year’s iPhone launch will be on the iPhone 17 Pro Max, which is all set to replace its predecessor as the best iPhone money can buy. But how much of an upgrade will the new iPhone have? Let’s find out all about rumored upgrades we have for the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
iPhone 17 Pro Max vs iPhone 16 Pro Max: Top 7 upgrades expected
1) Largest battery on an iPhone:
The iPhone 17 Pro Max could have the biggest battery that one has seen on an iPhone so far, as the new device is expected to house a 5,000mAh setup, up from the 4,676 mAh battery on the iPhone 16 Pro Max. The increase in battery size could also lead to the phone getting a bit thicker, going from 8.25mm to 8.75mm.
2) New Selfie camera:
All-new iPhone 17 series devices are expected to get a 24MP selfie shooter, up from the 12MP lens on the previous lineup. The new lens, while offering improved image quality, is also said to allow for up to 2x more cropping without causing a loss in quality.
3) Triple 48MP lens:
Apple is expected to upgrade the telephoto sensor on the iPhone 17 Pro Max from the 12MP lens on its predecessor to a 48MP lens. This change would mean that the new Pro series iPhones would be the first to get a triple 48MP camera setup.
The new 48MP lens is tipped to come with 3.5x optical zoom instead of the 5x optical zoom on the current iPhones, which could theoretically make it better for portrait shots.
The new iPhone 17 Pro models are also expected to come with support for 8k video recording, a major upgrade from 4K recording support on the iPhone 16 Pro lineup.
4) Fiery orange is the flavour of the month:
Apple could be leaving behind its history of having muted colour options for the iPhone 17 series with the addition of a new fiery orange colour option with the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. Apart from that, the phones are expected to come in black, gray, silver, and a dark blue sheen.
5) Complete design shift:
Apple is expected to ditch its squarish camera island setup on the iPhone 16 Pro Max in favour of a horizontal camera bump that could house the triple camera setup.
This could mark the biggest design shift in Pro series iPhones in years, and the company is also planning to eliminate the use of Titanium on the premium iPhones in favour of a Glass Aluminium finish.
6) Display:
The new iPhone model is expected to feature a 6.8-inch ProMotion 120Hz display as last year. However, there are some leaks about Apple using a scratch-resistant, anti-reflective display coating on the phone, but that may be pushed to the iPhone 18 series next year.
There are also rumors of Apple working on reducing the size of Dynamic Island on the iPhone 17 Pro lineup, which could lead to a more immersive viewing experience on the new devices.
7) Bigger processing power:
The iPhone 17 Pro Max is expected to run on the new A19 Pro chipset based on the 3nm process, which is likely to result in marginal gains in performance and efficiency compared to the last generation. The phone is also expected to come with 12GB of RAM, up from 8GB on the 16 Pro Max.
The upgraded RAM is expected to help power Apple Intelligence features in iOS 26 more smoothly while also helping with multi-tasking.
The iPhone 17 Pro Max is also expected to get a vapor cooling chamber for improved heat dissipation and to prevent throttling during high performance tasks.
Vishnu Vishal was last seen in an extended cameo in Oho Enthan Baby, the film that marked the acting debut of his brother Rudra. Although the plotline of Aaryan is currently unknown, the film is anticipated to be a crime thriller featuring Vishnu Vishal as a cop investigating a series of murders that occur over a span of five days. He is joined by actors Shraddha Srinath, Maanasa Choudhary, and Selvaraghavan in prominent roles.
Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani ended the suspense over the anticipated IPO of Reliance Jio, saying it would list in the first half of 2026, and preparations for it are underway.
“Jio is making all arrangements to file for its IPO. We are aiming to list Jio by the first half of 2026….. This will demonstrate that Jio is capable of creating the same quantum of value as our global counterparts,” said Ambani in RIL’s annual general meeting.
Calling artificial intelligence, the new Kamdhenu due to its “miraculous owers,” he also announced floating an AI subsidiary, Reliance Intelligence, an AI partnership with Google and an India-focused, ₹855-crore AI joint venture with Meta.
In terms of future plans, Jio will expand operations outside India.
Meta JV
The JV with Meta, in which RIL will hold a 70 per cent stake, will help provide enterprise-grade AI to Indian enterprises and small and medium businesses for a fraction of the cost, given Llama’s lower total cost of ownership. The partnership will allow greater flexibility to deploy cloud, on-premises, and across RIL’s infrastructure. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025.
“Through this joint venture, we’re putting Llama models into real-world use, and I’m looking forward to expanding Meta’s footprint in the enterprise space,” said Mark Zuckerberg, Founder and CEO of Meta.
Jamnagar cloud
On furthering partnership with RIL, Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, said in a video message that Google will provide AI services for RIL’s energy, retail, telecom and financial services.
“We are establishing a Jamnagar Cloud region, built for and dedicated to Reliance. It will bring world-class AI and compute from Google Cloud, powered by clean energy from Reliance, and connected [to key metros such as Mumbai and Delhi] by Jio’s advanced network,” said Pichai.
Google Cloud will deploy its AI hypercomputer and secure, fully-integrated, and optimised AI stack that offers generative AI models, a development platform, and AI-powered applications.
Reliance Intelligence
RIL’s proposed subsidiary Reliance Intelligence will build AI infrastructure and services in India, first focusing on building gigawatt-scale, AI-ready data centres, providing training and inference at a national scale.
“Work has already begun on the gigawatt-scale, AI-ready data centres in Jamnagar. These facilities will be delivered in phases aligned to India’s growing needs, powered by Reliance’s new-energy ecosystem, and custom-made for AI training and inference,” said Ambani.
The company will build AI services for consumers, small businesses, and enterprises, and solutions for sectors such as education, healthcare, and agriculture.
Robotics
RIL is also making a big thrust into robotics and Ambani said it will invest in Humanoid Robotics to become a leader in human-centric automation powered by AI, creating new types of industries and services, jobs.
“Intelligent automation will transform factories into adaptive production systems, warehouses into autonomous supply chains, and hospitals into centres of precision care,” he added.
This year’s campaign stressed: true freedom is only realised when no child goes to bed hungry.
This Independence Day, KRBL Limited, which owns the India Gate Basmati Rice, launched the latest edition of its annual Grains of Hope campaign, a movement dedicated to raising awareness and action against childhood hunger. This year’s campaign stressed: true freedom is only realised when no child goes to bed hungry. The centrepiece of this year’s initiative was an experiential fine-dining event in a high-end restaurant, where invited guests, including renowned food critics, influencers, CEOs, and industry leaders, were served “Hungerware Collection Plates” designed with missing portions that reflected real hunger statistics in India. Each plate featured a scannable QR code that unlocked a video message, moving guests from awareness to action. The campaign was amplified across social media by celebrities like Gautam Gambhir, Remo D’Souza, Mandira Bedi, PR Sreejesh, Amrita Raichand, and Jasleen Royal .
Against all odds, Tyler Wells’ Altadena restaurant remains standing. Like roughly 10,000 homes and structures in the area, many of the surrounding businesses burned in January’s Eaton fire, changing the mountain town’s community and landscape forever.
After the neighborhood’s destruction Wells thought his restaurant would never reopen, but on Saturday, Betsy — formerly called Bernee — will serve its rustic, seasonal cuisine once again. It will usher in customers for the return of its hearth-fired menu in what Wells hopes will be a beacon of light and a gathering place for Altadena after so much pain.
Betsy — near the corner of Lake Avenue and Mariposa Street — is flanked by remnants of the fire’s destruction: to the west, a hollowed-out brick structure that once held the local hardware store, its metal light fixtures still wilted from the heat; to the south, a leveled lot that was once a Spanish-language school; and north, there’s what’s left of a pottery studio and neighborhood stalwarts Café de Leche and Rancho Bar.
“Fire’s an incredible thing, and also will decimate an entire city and ruin people’s lives,” Wells said. “The allure of it for me is to not control it — and this is getting spiritual — but to find that harmony. Maybe we can do our tiniest little part to restore some of that balance.”

Bernee debuted Dec. 7, 2024. In its one month of service before the fire, guests dined on steaks, cast-iron potatoes and rich, fluffy burnt cheesecakes in the glow of its wood-fired hearth. The oven, overseen by lead chef Paul Downer, burned through almond wood and red oak, required near-’round-the-clock staff, and functioned as a baking oven by day and a blazing grill and roasting oven for meat, fish, beans and charred vegetables by night.
Wells had poured himself into the space, building his own tables, shelves and sleek wooden walls. Through personal duress, including the dissolution of his marriage and of his partnership in popular Los Feliz restaurant All Time, he found hope and focus in his new Altadena restaurant.
On Jan. 2 he moved to a new home, nearer to what is now Betsy, which is named for his late mother. On the day of the Eaton fire he told his therapist, “I don’t know, man, I could see myself being happy here. There’s a little crack with light being shown in.” He had a morning of revelation and optimism. That night, located practically along the Eaton Canyon trail, his new house was directly in the fire’s path.

Wells never imagined the fire would reach the city. On Jan. 7 he worked the restaurant til close, and helped his staff leave early and chart safer routes back to their homes.
“I was like, ‘The restaurant’s fine, you guys get home safe,’” he said. “Like, this restaurant is so far from the mountain, a fire can’t burn through all of this. Little did I know about these grapefruit-sized embers getting blasted down the mountain.”
That night he evacuated a few of his own belongings. Then he woke up to roughly 150 text messages, many simply sharing statements like, “It’s all gone.”
“I was just like, ‘OK, the restaurant’s gone. My house is gone. I’m separated. I just had this moment: ‘I’m out. I’m leaving now,’” he said. “I was just like, ‘I’m not coming back to L.A. This is it.’”
He began to envision starting over anew, maybe in another state, maybe in Mexico. Not two hours later, Paola Guasp — owner of Amara Kitchen, which also burned — reached out: Wells’ restaurant was, somehow, still standing.
He drove to Mariposa Street to check on Bernee and happened to meet one of his staff, who’d also decided to visit the restaurant at that moment. They embraced, then Wells grabbed two cases of the most expensive wine in the building and drove north without a destination.
Wells had befriended potter Victoria Morris and her husband, Morgan Bateman, occasionally dropping by the ceramics studio housed in the building behind Bernee. It burned in January. So did their home.
As Wells drove north he called an Ojai hotel and booked a few nights there, then called Morris and Bateman, who have a home in Ojai. Morris told him to cancel his hotel. “I was like, ‘What? What do you mean?’” he asked. “And there was a long pause, and she’s like, ‘Tyler, f— you. You live with us now.’”
For eight weeks they processed the fire and their losses and grief. Those meals and months with them, he said, are moments he’ll cherish for the rest of his life.

He then traveled to Mexico City to visit friends, and his return to California, he vowed, would only be a temporary one.
A call from the Ecology Center, a sprawling farm and market stand in San Juan Capistrano, changed his course. Could he help reshape the onsite cafe, molding its menus and programming closer to the farm’s bounty? No, he thought, he wasn’t ready. Wells traveled to Colorado, but he couldn’t get the Ecology Center out of his mind; he cut his trip short and headed back, throwing himself into work on the farm, its cafe and ticketed dinners and events. Then he called in Bernee reinforcements.

Joey Messina, a cook at Betsy, agreed to temporarily relocate to the farm. Wells vacated the Airstream trailer on the property for him, and took up new residency on the property’s yurt. When they needed waitstaff help they called Tom Oakes, also currently at Betsy; he trekked down to join them and Wells relocated again, this time pitching a tent between two orange trees. He remained there for eight weeks. More staff followed.
They called it “dirtbag summer camp,” working 18 hours a day, then cooking luxurious meals with produce pulled right from the ground. These dinners convinced him to stay.
“L.A.’s got some challenges that are really hard for me as a business owner, but these are my people,” he said. “These are the greatest friends I’ve ever known in my life. … It’s hot and it’s expensive and it’s a pain in the ass to do business here, but the greatest people in the world are here.”
After its closure, most of Bernee’s staff found work in other restaurants. Some, like server Courtney Johnson — the new curator of Betsy’s wine list — told The Times that they were ready to leave the industry entirely, unless Wells reopened his restaurant.
“They made the decision that the restaurant’s reopening,” Wells said. “I had to just pull a few levers here and there, like, ‘Here’s your restaurant back.’ I can’t believe it.”

The timing, he said, also began to feel right. The first months were horrifying, filled with trauma and smoke. In spring when construction crews began clearing the lots, he felt slightly optimistic. Through the summer, grass began to grow. The air felt cleaner. He saw signs of life returning to the community.
“I just realized: We’re right at the bottom of this climb, and it’s a hell of a climb, and I want to be a part of it,” he said. “This is where I fit in.”
What kind of a member of this community would he be, he thought, if he only returned once all the damage had cleared?
He renamed the restaurant and tweaked the menu for seasonality, but nearly everything remains as it did during Bernee’s single month of service. He’s gotten that wood-fired hearth back up and running. He deep-cleaned the air ducts and filters and restocked its kitchen.
On Aug. 3 he threw his first dinner at Betsy, cooking for friends, family, neighbors, and guests who’d cut their dinner short on the night the fire began in January. Wells gave the staff a pre-opening speech that was so unexpectedly emotional it brought him to tears in front of them all.

“I was just like, ‘This restaurant is not a restaurant,’” he said. “That’s a silly thing, but what it represents is something so much bigger and deeper, and what it means for people in the community.”
On Aug. 24, during another practice run of dinner service, a customer approached Wells in the dining room and tapped him gently on the shoulder from behind.
He didn’t know her, she said softly over the din of the guests, but she lives in the neighborhood. She said she needed to tell him that the return of the restaurant felt like the start of something new for Altadena, and she was so glad it came back.
“I think people do see it as a beacon, just to let a little bit of light in,” Wells said later. “It’s not going to be just us, obviously — I think we need another 1,000 examples of that — but it’s so meaningful to me. That’s what restaurants have always been for me, but to be able to do it in this kind of time and place is really powerful. It feels like a calling for all of us.”
Betsy is at 875 E. Mariposa St. in Altadena, open daily from 5 p.m. until close.
As the summer days wind down, travelers are still hitting the beaches to take dips in the ocean.
Those in the Northeast may face a greater risk of shark attacks as new data shows an increase in great white sightings.
The Oqunquit Fire Department (OFD) in Maine shared a shark advisory last week on its Facebook page.

“A credible sighting of a 6–8-foot great white shark was reported approximately 200 yards off Little Beach near the mouth of the river,” OFD wrote.
Officials put up a yellow flag on Aug. 19 to caution beachgoers and remind people to “follow posted advisories.”

“Shark behavior is clearly shifting.”
In July, the largest great white shark in the Atlantic was recorded near Nantucket, Massachusetts, stretching nearly 14 feet in length, Fox News Digital previously reported.

There has also been an increase in great white sharks near the waters of Nova Scotia, Canada, according to a Marine Ecology Progress Series paper published in Inter-Research in May.
Researchers attribute the increase to an overall growth in the population of great whites between the years 2019 and 2021.

They also say it could be due to “changes in habitat use that cause the population distribution to shift northward during warmer months.”
There have been 47 unprovoked shark bites globally in 2024, with 28 taking place in the U.S., according to the Florida Museum of Natural History’s International Shark Attack File (ISAF).

Before the launch of the Pixel 10, the Pixel 9 regularly dipped to $599, the Pixel 9 Pro dropped to $749, the Pixel 9 Pro XL was on sale for $899, and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold hit $1,499. I wouldn’t buy these devices unless they were at those prices again or lower.
How Long Is Your Pixel Supported?
The Pixel 10 series, Pixel 9 series, Pixel 8 series, Pixel 9a, and Pixel 8a will get seven years of Android OS upgrades and security updates. The 2023 Pixel 7a will receive three years of Android OS upgrades and five years of security updates from the date of launch, the same as older Pixels. Google has a page you can check to see exactly what month your Pixel phone will stop receiving updates. Security updates reduce the risk of malware, keep your phone bug-free, and make it more secure. Android version updates introduce new features—cosmetic and functional—that improve the OS as a whole.
Pixel phones also happen to be the first to receive any kind of Android update, so as soon as Google releases a new version, like Android 16, you can download it immediately by heading to Settings > System > System Update > Check for Update. You can also test beta versions of Android, but you’ll need to enroll your device. (Make sure to back up your phone first!) Pixels are also privy to the feature drops Google issues every few months, which include features from newer Pixels coming to older models and brand-new features for the latest devices.

What About Older Pixel Phones?
There are a few other Pixel phones worth considering if you don’t want any of the above choices. The Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro (7/10, WIRED Recommends) are available through official channels and third-party retailers (until supplies last). The key is to not pay more than $500 or $600 for either of them; otherwise, you may as well put that money toward the Pixel 9 or Pixel 10 series.
I do not recommend you buy any older Pixel devices. Several Pixel A-series phones have been put under a battery performance program to mitigate the risk of overheating or swelling batteries. These software updates have crippled the battery life on those phones, and Google has provided customers with battery replacement options or Google Store credit for a new Pixel phone. These potential issues mean it’s just not worth the risk of buying a Pixel 7a or Pixel 6a. The Pixel 8a (8/10, WIRED Recommends) doesn’t seem to show problems yet, but I’d still throw caution to the wind.
Pixel A-Series Battery Issues
In 2025, some Google Pixel 4a and Pixel 6a owners have received mandatory updates that purposefully degrade the performance of the battery to prevent overheating. Your phone may have been working fine before, but Google issued these updates as a preventative measure, and not every device was affected. Similarly, some Pixel 7a devices may encounter battery swelling issues.
If your phone has been affected, you have two options. You can get a free battery replacement—Google has a registration page for the Pixel 4a, Pixel 6a, and Pixel 7a. If that isn’t going to work for you, you can get Google Store credit for the Pixel 4a and Pixel 6a to put toward a new Pixel phone.
These issues seem to have only affected some batteries in the A-series phones, suggesting it’s likely a supplier issue. What about the newer Pixel 9a? Here’s a statement a Google spokesperson provided to WIRED: “Google continuously improves Pixel testing based on user feedback and thoroughly investigates reported incidents for all components, including batteries. With Pixel 9a, we delivered the largest and longest-lasting battery of any A-series yet. We’ve been encouraged by its reception so far and are confident in the phone’s longevity and durability.”
Ideally, this battery issue has been rectified in the latest model, but we’ll be monitoring it over the next few years.
What Does Pixel Care+ Include?
When you purchase a Pixel from Google, you’ll see the option to add Pixel Care+ for protection. It’s only available in the US through the Google Store and Google Fi. The monthly option can run for up to 60 months, whereas the fixed pricing is for a 2-year term. Here’s what you get.
Pixel Care+ starts at $9 per month or $179 and includes unlimited accidental damage protection, $0 screen and battery repairs, replacements that ship in a day, and priority support from Pixel experts. That pricing is for the Pixel 10, and it goes up for the pricier devices. For example, the Pixel 10 Pro will cost $13 per month, or $239 for the 2-year term. There’s no Pixel Care+ option for the Pixel 9a.
Pixel Care+ with Loss and Theftstarts at $10 per month or $199 and includes the same protections as mentioned above but includes two claims of loss and theft every 12 months. Weirdly, Loss and Theft coverage is not available in New York state.
You Can DeGoogle Your Pixel Phone
Love Google’s Pixel phones but want to get away from using Google services? It’s a little ironic, but you can actually use a different operating system with the Pixel instead of the built-in Android. We’ve tested and really like /e/OS, a privacy-first operating system that’s based on the Android Open Source Project. While you can install it yourself, it requires a bit of technical know-how, you can buy a refurbished Pixel from Murena with /e/OS installed already. If you’re interested, we have more details about /e/OS here.
The Best Pixel Cases and Accessories
I’ve written a broader guide on the Best Pixel 9 Cases and Accessories here, but here are a few selections for your perusal. We’ll be testing cases for the Pixel 10 series soon.

These official cases from Google for the Pixel 10 series are Qi2-certified with magnets baked in, allowing you to attach the phone to magnetic accessories without any loss in strength or wireless charging capabilities (if you use a case without magnets, it will weaken the strength and disrupt the feature). The soft silicone is pleasant to the touch, and you can color-match it with your Pixel 10 phone to highlight the phone’s color.
Official Google Case

This silicone case lets you match your Pixel phone’s color. It’s durable and nice to touch, with raised edges on the front to protect the screen. It’s made with recycled plastics, and while the older cases attract lint and dust easily, this revamped case does a better job of resisting them. I also like that it keeps the back flush, so the camera bump isn’t so obvious. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold case is made of a hard-shell polycarbonate, but it’s fairly slim and lightweight compared to third-party cases I’ve tested. Access to the buttons is open, and I like how it gives you an easier way to unfold the phone.

This is our favorite case overall for the Pixel 9 and Pixel 8A series. It has clicky buttons and incredibly grippy edges (hence the name). It feels robust yet fairly slim, and you can choose a snazzy design. Just know that you have to apply this “skin” to the back of the case. There’s a lot of room for error here, so be careful, and watch Dbrand’s installation video for tips. There’s MagSafe support so you can use your Pixel with MagSafe accessories, and it worked exceptionally in my testing.
Peak Design Everyday Case

This is hands-down the best case if you frequently attach your Pixel to the handlebars of a bike or an electric scooter. Peak Design’s mounting system lets you magnetically affix the phone to its Universal Bike Mount ($50), and it stays put. After more than a year of testing, I’ve yet to have a phone fall off my ride using this mounting system. It makes use of Apple’s MagSafe system, so it works with plenty of MagSafe accessories, even wireless chargers. The company also has several other magnetic accessories, like a car vent mount. The case itself is nice; I just wish the edges were raised more for better screen protection. You can choose to have it with the loop, which acts as a grip, or without it.

You don’t need to spend this much for a decent Qi2 charger, but these are what Google is officially selling, and they’re great (if overpriced). The stand version is actually the same Pixelsnap charger, just with a robust stand to keep it propped up. The stand is stable, doesn’t shift around, and you can charge the phone in landscape or portrait orientation.
Nomad Slim Power Adapter

Google’s latest Pixel 10 series supports 29W and 39W charging speeds, depending on the model. That makes this 65W a little overkill, but I still think it’s a great all-around charging adapter to carry with you. It’s incredibly slim and lightweight, has folding prongs, and includes two USB-C ports. When you have two devices plugged in, one port will dish out 45W and the other will deliver 20W. The former will let you hit the fastest charging speeds possible on any of your Pixel devices.
Dbrand Screen Protector

Dbrand gives you two screen protectors in this package, and when I initially tested it, there was no application tool, so I had to freehand the installation. The current Prism 2.0 version thankfully now comes with a tool, so it should be much easier to align. You get all the other tools in the box to wipe down your phone and ensure there are no specks of dust on it before you install the protector.
Our Favorite Pixel Software Features
Pixels have many great software features, but some need to be toggled on. It can also be hard to remember that all these features exist, so here are most of the top ones.
There are some key features on Pixels that you won’t find on any other Android phone. Some of these are available only on select Pixels—the Tensor chip started with the Pixel 6, and currently, the Tensor G4 is in the Pixel 9 range. Here’s a breakdown:
Call Screen: When you get a call from an unknown number, Google Assistant will scan and flag it if it’s suspected spam or a robocall. If it’s simply a number you don’t recognize, you can have Assistant take the call. You’ll see a real-time transcription of what’s happening, so you can end the call right away if it’s a telemarketer or answer if it turns out to be a long-lost high school friend. If it’s someone important, you can give Assistant responses to recite if you’re unable to take the call—it offers up contextual replies now, too. Remember to turn it on by opening up the dialer app and heading to Settings (three dots on the top right) >Spam and Call Screen.
Wait Times.
Video: Google
Wait Times and Direct My Call: When you call a business in the phone app, you’ll see an estimated wait time until someone real picks up (it doesn’t work with every business). Google’s Direct My Call feature also transcribes the entire call and separates the menu options so you can see them without having to listen intently to the call. More recently, for some numbers, Direct My Call will cache responses so you’ll immediately see menu options without needing to wait for the automated response to go through every number. You can turn this on by going to the phone app’s Settings > Direct My Call.
Hold for Me.
Video: Google
Hold for Me: If you’ve been placed on hold with a business number, you can ask Google Assistant to take over. It will play a loud chime when the person on the other end is back. No need to listen to hold music! Toggle it on in the phone app’s Settings > Hold for Me. This feature is available on most Pixels but only works in select countries, including the US, Australia, Japan, the UK, and Canada.
Clear Calling: If you have a Pixel 7 or newer, you can turn on this feature to enhance the other caller’s voice and reduce their background noise. Head to Settings > Sound & Vibration > Clear Calling to toggle it on. It also works on Google’s Pixel Buds Pro.
Call Notes (Tensor G4 and newer; with 12-plus GB RAM): You can enable this in the dialer app by going to Settings > Call Notes and making sure the toggle is on. This doesn’t activate every time you’re on a call. Rather, you have to tap the More button when you’re on a call and tap Call Notes to start it. It more or less records the conversation (it notifies the other person that the call is being recorded), and at the end, it’ll give you a summary of important points from the call right in the call history log, such as price quotes, phone numbers, or addresses. Sometimes it gets information wrong, as the accuracy of the transcription depends on the call quality, but you can play back the entire recording yourself to double-check.
Scam Detection: This feature detects conversation patterns as you are on the phone with a suspicious number to warn you when someone is deploying a classic scam tactic. It also works in Google’s Messages app. You can turn it on by going to the phone app, then tapping the three-dot menu icon at the top right, and hitting Settings > Scam Detection.
Reverse Phone Number Lookup: Don’t recognize the phone number from an incoming call? In the call app, you can now quickly look up a number without having to manually run a search yourself.

Take a Message (Tensor G5): Google is revamping voicemails with Take a Message. It’s similar to transcribed voicemails, though that feature doesn’t always work and may depend on your carrier. Take a Message bypasses the standard voicemail (your normal voicemail will only kick in with missed calls when your phone is off or out of network). The caller will be told to leave a message, and this recording will be auto-transcribed, visible right in the call history of the phone app. It’ll even offer actionable steps, like adding a reminder or an event to your calendar.
Pixel VIPs: This is a new widget that gives you one-tap access to your favorite contacts. But it’s more than that. Tap on one of your contacts, and you’ll see a beautifully designed page that offers quick access to call the contact and message them on various platforms. It’ll show the last messages between you two, share location, weather updates, and the time for their area, and you can add notes if you want to remember specific things. You can access this the same way you add a widget; it sits under the Contacts app.
Transcription and Translation Features
Voice Translate over phone calls.

Translated Phone Calls in Your Voice (Tensor G5): You can translate a phone call in real time, but what makes Google’s approach unique is that the company will make the translated voice sound like your own (or the person on the other end). That way, it still sounds like you’re talking to someone you know, rather than a robotic voice. No audio is recorded, and data isn’t stored (it works on-device). It’s only available for a few languages, like English, German, Japanese, and Spanish.
Live Translate.
Video: Google
Live Translate: In select messaging apps, Pixels will automatically know when someone sends a message in a language other than your default. It’ll translate it (if you wish), and you’ll be able to respond in that same language. More than 50 languages are supported, though you’ll need to download the languages you want to see translated by heading to Settings > System > Live Translate.
Live Caption: Pixels can automatically transcribe any video playing on the screen. You can quickly toggle this on by tapping one of the volume buttons and tapping on the square button below the volume slider (or head to Settings > Sound and Vibration > Live Caption). If the video is in a different language, you can even see it translated (only on Tensor-powered Pixels), though you’ll need to download one of the supported languages. It can even caption phone calls.
KAD JE RIJEČ o prevenciji raka, najčešće se spominju promjene životnog stila, redoviti pregledi i prehrambene navike. Međutim, prema gastroenterologu školovanom na Harvardu, dr. Saurabhu Sethiju, određeni napici također mogu imati značajnu ulogu u smanjenju rizika od razvoja ove bolesti. Iako nijedan napitak ne može djelovati kao čarobni štit, dokazano je da oni koje preporučuje posjeduju protuupalna i antioksidativna svojstva.
Zeleni čaj
Zeleni čaj često se naziva “supernapitkom” jer je bogat antioksidansima poput katehina, posebno epigalokatehin galata (EGCG). Studije sugeriraju da može usporiti rast određenih stanica raka, poput raka dojke, prostate i debelog crijeva. Ipak, znanstvenici upozoravaju da samo pijenje zelenog čaja ne može spriječiti rak. Njegova glavna korist je smanjenje kronične upale i oksidativnog stresa, koji su povezani s razvojem bolesti. Topla šalica dnevno može biti jednostavan način podrške prirodnoj obrani tijela, tvrdi gastroenterolog, prenosi Times of India.

Zeleni smoothie
Mješavina špinata, krastavca, celera i đumbira često se promovira kao napitak za detoksikaciju. Prava snaga ovog smoothieja je u njegovoj nutritivnoj vrijednosti. Špinat i celer daju folat i vlakna, povezana s manjim rizikom od gastrointestinalnih karcinoma. Dr. Sethi ističe da krastavac osigurava hidraciju i antioksidanse, dok đumbir donosi protuupalne spojeve poput gingerola. Zajedno, ovi sastojci podržavaju tijelo i pomažu u kontroli upale.
Latte od kurkume s dodatkom papra
Kurkuma je poznata po kurkuminu, spoju koji se povezuje s usporavanjem rasta stanica raka. Dodavanje crnog papra pojačava njegovu apsorpciju zahvaljujući piperinu. Laboratorijske studije pokazale su obećavajuće rezultate, ali klinički dokazi kod ljudi još se razvijaju. Učinci nisu toliko dramatični kao što se ponekad prikazuje na društvenim mrežama. Ipak, redovito ispijanje lattea od kurkume može doprinijeti protuupalnom načinu života i smanjiti rizik od kroničnih bolesti, tvrde stručnjaci.
Prije uvođenja bilo kakvih značajnih promjena u prehranu ili način života, uvijek se posavjetujte s kvalificiranim zdravstvenim stručnjakom.

Onam is one of the most vibrant festivals of Kerala, celebrated with immense joy and enthusiasm by Malayalis. The auspicious day marks the homecoming of King Mahabali and symbolises prosperity, unity, and cultural pride. The ten-day celebration is filled with traditions, colours, and rituals that bring families and communities together. The date of the Onam celebration is based on the Panchāngam and falls on the 22nd nakshatra Thiruvonam in the month Chingam of the Malayalam calendar, which falls between August and September. This year, Thiruvonam falls on Friday, September 5, 2025. Onam 2025 Dates and Full Calendar: Know Names of 10 Days of Onam in Malayalam and Significance of the Auspicious Festival of Kerala.
From beautifully designed Pookalams to the grand Onam Sadhya served on banana leaves, every aspect of Onam holds great cultural significance. If you are searching for easy Onam Recipes that you can quickly make to make the grand feast on the auspicious day, here’s a list of dishes that you can try your hand at and make this festival a memorable one with these delicacies. Happy Onam 2025 Wishes and HD Images: Onam Ashamsakal Messages, Greetings and Wallpapers to Celebrate Kerala’s Harvest Festival.
Parippu Curry
Parippu Curry is one of the simplest yet most essential dishes of Kerala, especially during Onam Sadhya. It’s a comforting lentil curry made with moong dal, also called as yellow lentils, coconut, and mild spices, usually enjoyed with a drizzle of ghee over hot Kerala rice. It is considered an auspicious and traditional first serving in the grand feast.
Sambar
Sambar is one of the most iconic dishes of South India and a must-have in the Onam Sadhya. It is a hearty, tangy, and spiced lentil-based curry cooked with tamarind and a variety of vegetables. Sambar represents comfort food in Kerala homes. Its unique taste comes from the freshly ground sambar powder, which balances the flavours of lentils, spices, and vegetables.
Rasam
Rasam is a light, tangy, and spiced South Indian soup-like dish that holds a special place in the Onam Sadhya. Rasam is known for its digestive properties and comforting flavour as it is made with tamarind, tomatoes, and a blend of spices. Unlike Sambar, Rasam is thinner in consistency and is often enjoyed with rice or even sipped as a warm, soothing drink.
Avial
Avial is one of the most iconic dishes of Kerala and an inseparable part of the Onam Sadhya. It’s a wholesome, mildly spiced curry made with a mix of vegetables, fresh coconut, and seasoned with coconut oil and curry leaves.
Thoran
A stir-fried dish made with vegetables and grated coconut, beans, cabbage, carrot, or beetroot. Thoran is a classic Kerala side dish and an integral part of the Onam Sadhya. Different vegetables can be used depending on the season and availability. It’s light, nutritious, and perfectly complements rice and curries on the banana leaf.
Pachadi
Pachadi is a delicious, refreshing side dish that adds balance to the grand Onam Sadhya. It is a yogurt-based preparation made with vegetables or fruits, ground coconut, and mild spices. What makes Pachadi unique is its sweet–sour–tangy flavor, which perfectly complements the other rich curries and dry dishes on the banana leaf. In Kerala, Pachadi is often prepared with ingredients like pineapple, cucumber, or beetroot, each giving a distinct taste and color to the dish.
These dishes are usually served on a banana leaf and are an integral part of Kerala’s festive celebrations. Happy Onam 2025 everyone!

ZLATNI retriver Teddy iznenadio je svoju vlasnicu tijekom šetnje kada je preuzeo novu, neočekivanu ulogu – postao je zamjenski tata bebi zeca. Na pločniku je ugledao malenog zeca koji je bio sasvim sam. Odmah se zaustavio kako bi provjerio što se događa, a ono što je uslijedilo sigurno će vam uljepšati dan.
Mali zec je od prvog trenutka bio očaran Teddyjem. Umjesto da pobjegne, ostao je u njegovoj blizini, a kada je došlo vrijeme da Teddy i njegova vlasnica nastave šetnju, mališan je krenuo trčati za njima. Vlasnica je na TikTok profilu @teddythegolden.boy podijelila snimku ove dirljive scene koja je skupila skoro milijun pregleda.

Što se dogodilo sa zecom?
Kako piše PetHelpful, nekoliko dana kasnije Teddyjeva vlasnica objavila je novosti: “Proveli smo još jednu večer s gospodinom Zecom čekajući njegovu mamu, no nismo je pronašli. Kontaktirali smo centar za rehabilitaciju divljih životinja i oni su ga preuzeli. Rado bismo ga zadržali, ali htjeli smo mu osigurati najsigurniji dom. I dalje ćemo provjeravati hoće li se pojaviti njegova braća ili sestre.”

NINA Badrić službeno je gotova s ljetnim odmorom, a tim je povodom objavila niz fotografija s Hvara na svojem Instagram profilu. Pokazala je fotografije s plaže, bazena, iz restorana, a posebnu nam je pozornost privukao njezin zanimljivi kupaći kostim.
Već je privukla pozornost neobičnim kupaćim kostimom koji kombinira različite životinjske uzorke, a ovaj put je oduševila nečim puno jednostavnijim. Ovaj bijeli kupaći kostim ima šareni cik-cak uzorak zahvaljujući kojemu djeluje zaigrano i mladenački.
“Divna”
“Divno moje ljeto, hvala ti na blagoslovljenim danima”, napisala je Nina na Instagramu.

“Divna”, “Sve si zaslužila, uživaj”, “Predivna si”, “Prelijepo”, “Uvijek divna”, “Živa i rasturaš, lijepo je”, “Predivne fotke”, pisali su joj pratitelji ispod objave.
Kupaći kostim koji je Nina nosila je brenda Missoni, iz njihove kolekcije za proljeće/ljeto 2024. Iako baš ovakav kupaći kostim više nije dostupan, brend ima vrlo sličan model koji možete pogledati ispod.

Google has issued a strong warning to Gmail users after a well-known hacking group, ShinyHunters, managed to steal sensitive information through a data breach. According to Google’s Threat Intelligence Report, the hackers gained access to data through a corporate Salesforce system, leaving billions of Gmail accounts potentially vulnerable.
The company said around 2.5 billion Gmail users have been urged to reset their passwords and strengthen their account security, Tech Radar reported. While the exposed information included mostly names and business contact details, Google warned that this still increases the chances of phishing scams and extortion attempts.
How the breach happened
As per Tech Radar, the breach took place when ShinyHunters impersonated company staff to trick IT support teams and gain access to Google’s Salesforce instance. Google confirmed that the stolen data was limited to basic and largely public business information, but stressed that the threat should not be underestimated.
In a statement, the company said, “In June, one of Google’s corporate Salesforce instances was impacted by UNC6040 activity. The data retrieved was confined to basic business names and contact details.”
Phishing and extortion risks
Google has emailed affected users to be on the lookout for phishing emails or calls demanding Bitcoin payments. Cyber experts say even harmless information can be used to create social engineering attacks that trick users into sharing sensitive data.
ShinyHunters has a long track record of major cyberattacks. The group was previously linked to breaches involving Santander, AT&T, and Allianz, making it one of the most dangerous hacker groups today.
Google’s report further warns that the hackers may launch a data leak site (DLS) in the near future to put additional pressure on their victims.
What’s next?
Google says it is monitoring ShinyHunters and will update as the situation develops. In the meantime, users should change their passwords, enable two-factor authentication and be cautious of suspicious emails or calls.
FAQs
1. Who is behind the Gmail breach?
ShinyHunters, the hacking group that has hit major global companies, is behind the data breach.
2. What kind of data was exposed?
Mainly names and business contact details, but this data can be misused for phishing and extortion.
3. What to do now?
Reset password, enable two-factor authentication, and be on the lookout for suspicious emails or calls.
Earlier, we reported that Tourist Family‘s director Abishan Jeevinth has joined Soundarya Rajinikanth’s new film as the lead. Now, Malayalam actor Anaswara Rajan is joining the cast of the untitled film, in a lead role.
Tentatively titled Production No 4, the film will be directed by Madhan in his directorial debut. Shreyaas Krishna, who was the cinematographer for Karthik Subburaj’s Retro, will be the cinematographer for the film.
The makers also revealed that Sean Roldan will compose music for the film. He previously composed music for Velailla Pattadhaari 2, which was directed by Soundarya. Sean Roldan has also composed music for Abishan’s debut feature directorial, Tourist Family.
We are Happy to announce that the incredibly talented actress @anaswara.rajan who has delivered back-to-back hits in the Malayalam film industry in recent years ✨✨ will be joining us as the female lead in our fourth production!
Anaswara will portray the character of Manisha, alongside Abishan, who will portray Sathya. Soundarya is producing the film along with Pasilian Nazerath and Magesh Raj Pasilian. Shooting is currently underway for the film, which is backed by MRP Entertainment and the Zion Films banner.
The upcoming film will not be Anaswara’s first Tamil feature film. She is also a part of Selvaraghavan’s 7G Rainbow Colony 2, which was a sequel to the director’s own 7G Rainbow Colony, which starred Ravi Krishna and Sonia Agarwal in the lead. Ravi Krishna will reprise his role for the sequel.
FY25 was a stellar year for Eureka Forbes (EFL), visible from step-up in product business sales growth (+17 per cent ) with significant acceleration in electric water purifier sales (+18.1 per cent ), service business starting to see green shoots with efforts on AMC unit sales and improving customer experience yielding results, margin expansion, despite stepped-up brand investments (+25.5 per cent), led by better efficiencies/leverage benefit in staff cost, service charges, freight and IT expenses.
We like EFL’s growth story – execution so far has been impressive; a debt-free balance sheet, negative working capital and strong FCF generation provide comfort. With product business momentum sustaining, likely uptick in service business revenue over the next few quarters can lead to a further rerating.
Despite GM contracting by 80 bps (due to buyback, promotions), EBITDA margin expanded 182 bps y-o-y (+116 bps y-o-y exESOP) in FY25 through rigorous cost optimisation, even as the company stepped up brand investments to drive growth. Savings in service charges (down 150 bps as per cent to sales), staff costs (down 146 bps as per cent to sales), and productivity improvements provided headroom for higher A&P spends (+124 bps y-o-y as per cent to sales) while supporting overall margin expansion.
We believe benefits of digital-led efficiencies and disciplined cost control will enable EFL to sustain transformation journey with enhanced growth and profitability.
Actors Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra in a still from ‘Sholay’
Exactly fifty years ago, in 1975, I watched Sholay for the first time. I was a young school boy in Kollam in Kerala, where Hindi movies generally played second fiddle to Malayalam cinema. But the movie hall showing Sholay was packed to the brim for weeks together. At school, its dialogues became common currency. I fell under the spell of Gabbar Singh, Veeru, Jai and Basanti.
College days and ads
A few years later, I watched the movie again during my college days, at BITS Pilani. The story and the dialogues were as fresh and appealing as ever. Students banged chairs in the auditorium at the end of the show, to signal their great appreciation of this cult movie.
Then, again, when I joined Tata Tea as a young marketing manager, I discovered with pleasure that the launch advertising film for Tata Tea starred none other than Amjad Khan, who had played the role of the villain Gabbar Singh in Sholay. It was already the mid-1980s by now, but Gabbar Singh was as popular as ever. That advertisement was an amazing success.
Over the years, so many other brands have leveraged scenes, conversations and characters from Sholay for their television commercials, print advertisements, radio jingles and billboards. I distinctly recall Britannia using Gabbar Singh to promote its Glucose-D biscuits. Other brands that have hopped onto the Sholay bandwagon include ‘Amul’, ‘Mirinda’, ‘Tetley Tea’, ‘Whirlpool’, ‘McDonalds’, ‘Red Bull’, ‘Reliance’, ‘Orbit’ chewing gum and Swift pesticides.
Deep in our collective memory
In addition, the music from this movie keeps surfacing year after year, without fail. I have never seen a single Holi function where the song Holi ke din dil khil jaate hain, is not played. Mehbooba, Mehbooba was quite the anthem of my college days. Yeh Dosti, both the happy and the sad version, has kept cropping up quite regularly in my life, including at farewell events.
Somehow, Sholay has never really gone away from our collective memory. It has morphed from being just an iconic movie to becoming part of our lives. It has been described as a cultural milestone and a national allegory. How and why did this happen?
Storyline or characters?
Is it because of the powerful storyline, the battle between the greater good and pure evil, that lies at the core of this film? Is it because of multiple elements – revenge and violence, morality and criminality, humanity and emotion – that weave their way so seamlessly through the story?
Or is it because of the strong and diverse set of characters that walk through Sholay? The characters of Thakur Baldev Singh, Gabbar Singh, Veeru, Jai and Basanti are developed so well and so sharply that each of them gets embedded forever in our minds. Even Sambha, Gabbar Singh’s sidekick, is so memorable in his ever-so-brief appearances. Very few movies or works of literature bring to the fore so many appealing and likeable characters, so well fleshed out.
Star studded cast or dialogues?
Or could it be because the movie brought together a star-studded cast which included some of the best known names of Bollywood, including Sanjeev Kumar, Dharmendra, Hema Malini, Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan and Amjad Khan?
Or, perhaps, was it the many, many memorable dialogues that made this film a cultural sensation? How can we forget lines such as – Tera kya hoga, Kaaliya? or Kitne aadmi the? or Tumhara naam kya hai, Basanti? or Arre oh Sambhaa! Kitna inaam rakha hai sarkar ne hum par?, all of which continue to live on in our hearts? So many of these lines continue to be used until today, which is truly amazing.
Or could it be the fact that this was the first Indian film to have a stereophonic soundtrack and to use the 70mm widescreen format, which made the movie so much larger than life? The title of the film itself was written so big and bold using cinemascope typography, making this point.
Impossible to say. Happy birthday!
As a marketer, I often take great pride in being able to pinpoint why a brand has succeeded or failed. But when I try to analyse the success of Sholay, I must admit defeat. There are so many elements that have gone into making this film successful, that it is virtually impossible to isolate one or two factors which have made this film such a roaring and lasting success. All I can say is that the combination of all these factors made magic happen, and it is impossible to analyse magic.
Sometimes, this is also true of the greatest of brands. They contain many thoughtfully designed and some accidental ingredients. But it is in the overall combination that the magic happens. Happy 50th birthday, Sholay !

SEOUL — In many parts of the world, convenience stores are the shops of last resort: cigarettes, sodas and laundry detergent. But in South Korea, you might find single malt whiskies, $800 French wines, 24K gold bars, shampoo and conditioner refill stations, televisions or a dine-in instant noodle bar with more than 200 varieties of ramyon.
A customer might be able to pick up a package, wash and dry their clothes, or sign up for a new debit card.
The stores are best known for their numerous feats of “instant-izing” food, a process in which nearly every conceivable dish is turned into a packaged meal: spaghetti, Japanese udon, fried rice that you squeeze out of a tube. These have turned convenience stores into a $25-billion industry in South Korea and those food products are churned out at a staggering pace: up to 70 new food items hit the shelves each week, effectively offering a live feed of South Korean tastes.
“In South Korea’s food retail market, you go extinct if you’re not quick to change,” says Chae Da-in, who says her obsession with convenience stores is decades old. “It’s all about being diverse and fast.”
Known in the national media and on social media as a “convenience store critic,” Chae is the author of three books on the world of convenience store foods, which has led to TV appearances and newspaper interviews.
Every Friday, she tours a handful of convenience stores near her home to keep up with what’s new. Over the last two decades, she estimates she has consumed at least 800 varieties of convenience store samgak gimbap — rice wrapped in dried seaweed and a grab-and-go staple.
Lee Hee Chul, 21, from Incheon, South Korea, cools down his ramyon in a DIY cone made from the ramyon bowl cover at a CU convenience store in a popular tourist area in Myeongdong.
Shoppers prepare their dinner at one of the self-serve machines in the dining area at a CU ramyon convenience store.
In recent years, Chae has watched her obsession go global. Much like South Korean movies, TV shows and music, South Korean convenience stores have become a cultural sensation.
Specific locations, such as the store that appeared in Netflix’s hit series “Squid Game,” have made the news. On TikTok and YouTube, mukbang — videos of people eating — of South Korean convenience store foods have gathered millions of views.
“Giant cheese sausage,” announces one reviewer in a TikTok video series titled “ONLY Eating Food from a Korean Convenience Store.” The meal also includes blue lemonade that comes in a plastic pouch, a “3XL” spicy tuna mayo samgak gimbap and a carbonara-flavored Buldak (“fire chicken”) noodle cup.
South Korean convenience stores are now expanding into nearby countries such as Mongolia or Malaysia. CU, one of the country’s leading operators with more than 600 stores in Asia, is set to open its first U.S. location in Hawaii later this year.
“The percentage of the Asian population in Hawaii is six times that of the mainland U.S., making it a place where there is a high level of familiarity and positive attitudes toward Korean culture,” said Lim Hyung-geun, the head of overseas operations at BGF Retail, CU’s parent company.
“On top of that, we’re seeing the sustained popularity of Korean culture, such as a Korean food boom among American teenagers and young people in their 20s and 30s, which we believe will be a big boost for CU’s future expansion.”
Lim calls CU’s overseas locations “‘miniature South Koreas’ where people can experience the products that have become popular with the K-wave.
“But as is the case here, K-convenience stores aren’t just a place to experience South Korean culture,” he said. “They are also restaurants, cafes and a general amenity.”
In other words, everything stores that are everywhere and open all the time.

The GS25 convenience store is collaborating with FC Seoul, a South Korean football club, in the Hongdae neighborhood.
Like many things South Korea has embraced and spun off into something novel, convenience stores are an import to the country. The first such store was American — the Southland Ice Co., which was founded in Texas in 1927 and changed its name to 7-Eleven in 1946. The first of the 7-Elevens opened for business in Seoul in the 1980s.
Today, South Korea is the convenience store capital of the world. Like the bodegas of New York, they have become part of the fabric of contemporary urban life, multifunctional spaces that can be restaurants or coffee shops or bars with microwaves and outdoor seating. Chae calls them the “oasis of the streets.”
“People hang out in convenience stores,” she said. “They’ve become a social place.”
Part of what makes them such a force in the country is their sheer numbers.
There are around 55,000 convenience stores in South Korea — a country the size of Indiana — amounting to one convenience store for every 940 people. In Seoul, where their numbers have quadrupled in the last 15 years, it sometimes feels like there’s one on every corner.
Much of this has to do with the fact that roughly one in every four workers in South Korea is self-employed, a high number relative to other developed countries. For those in this mom-and-pop economy, which includes older workers pushed into early retirement or others who have been boxed out of the traditional labor market, convenience stores offer the most accessible form of entrepreneurship.
“Compared to the hundreds of thousands it would cost to open another business, the main draw of convenience stores is that you can open one with starting capital as little as 20 million won [$14,000],” said Oh Sang-bong, the head of social policy research at the Korean Labor Institute. “Of course it’s not easy. There are a lot of cautionary tales. But there are success stories, too.”

This profusion has made the convenience store business one of the most fast-paced and competitive in the country — one that moves in lockstep with boom-and-bust social media attention spans.
Hit products generate the kind of buzz you might see only for a limited-edition sneaker or the latest iPhone, necessitating preorders or, when inventories inevitably dry up, leading to scalping.
But the lows are abrupt. When it was first released last year, CU’s “Dubai-style chocolate” — an in-house take on the global TikTok food trend — commanded lines outside of stores and sold out in a day. Four months later, sales had dropped to a sixth of what they were.
“The lifespan of products is now incredibly short because social media fads come and go so quickly,” said Kim, a merchandiser for a leading convenience store franchise who asked to be identified only by his surname because he is not authorized to speak to the media.
“In the past when the market wasn’t so saturated, revenue would naturally rise as everyone opened more stores. But now there are so many stores, and then you’re competing not just with other convenience stores but with e-commerce platforms, coffee shops, restaurants — everybody who’s following the same trend.”
Most of Kim’s job involves scrolling through social media platforms such as TikTok, looking for the next hot-ticket item, such as a distant food trend that shows signs of making landfall.
“It’s brutal. It’s like trying to find the eye of a needle over and over again,“ he said. “If you miss something big and a competitor releases it first? Then you’re getting chewed out by your boss.”
Kwon Sung-jun is a chef who specializes in Italian cuisine and the winner of “Culinary Class Wars,” a hit reality cooking competition released by Netflix last year. He has a ritual of stopping by a convenience store every night after work — even if he doesn’t have anything to buy.
“It’s very useful for staying abreast of any trends in the culinary world,” he said, and his routine proved to be pivotal in winning the $223,000 prize for “Culinary Class Wars.”
In one stage of the competition, contestants were tasked with cooking a dish using ingredients sourced from a true-to-life replica of a convenience store on set. Kwon, 30, handily won with a chestnut tiramisu whipped together from chestnuts, milk, coffee and a package of biscuits.
“I came up with the idea in 30 seconds,” he said. “Because I had a mental list of what convenience stores have, I also planned substitute options for each of the key ingredients like chestnut, cream and so on.”
Since winning the competition, he has avoided convenience stores; just two weeks after that episode aired, CU released a mass-produced version of his tiramisu, with Kwon’s face on the packaging.
“It’s a little embarrassing to see those photos of myself,” he said.

“Most of the tourists come looking for products related to Korean movies or TV shows like dalgona[a traditional Korean candy] because they saw it on ‘Squid Game,’” says Kim Hye-ryeon, the owner of a GS25 in the Hongdae district of Seoul.
All of this makes running a convenience store no easy feat, says Kim Hye-ryeon, the 52-year-old owner of a GS25 in Seoul’s Hongdae district.
Because franchisees are responsible for picking out their own inventory from the company catalog, which is updated three times a week, running a successful convenience store is less about the labor of stocking shelves and cashing out customers than keeping up with the frenetic cycle of food trends.
“Whenever there’s a popular item, the owners who are a step ahead buy up all the stock so sometimes I can’t get any for my store,” she said. “You have to know what’s popular with young people at all times.”
In recent years, as South Korea’s cultural footprint has expanded, the assignment has gotten even more complicated. Streets that were once quiet are now popular thoroughfares for tourists staying in the guesthouses and Airbnbs that have opened in the area. Global tastes must be accounted for, too.
A customer heads for the exit at a GS25 convenience store.
“There’s been a noticeable increase since the pandemic,” she said. “Before, it was mostly Chinese or Japanese tourists, but now it’s from all over, especially Americans and Europeans.”
From behind the counter, she has been keeping mental notes of what this international consumer base is buying, noting, for example, how her Muslim customers carefully study the labels to check whether the item is halal.
“Most of the tourists come looking for products related to Korean movies or TV shows like dalgona [a traditional Korean candy] because they saw it on ‘Squid Game,’” she said. “They also really like ice creams, especially bingsu [Korean shaved ice].”

A medieval castle has hit the market near one of Italy’s busiest cities, though it comes with a few caveats.
The Castle of Landriano, listed by Sotheby’s International Realty, is roughly 15 miles southeast of Milan.
The Lombardy castle dates back to the 11th century. It boasts 10 bedrooms, 10 full bathrooms and spans more than 102,000 square feet.
MEDIEVAL KNIGHT’S TOMB DISCOVERED BENEATH FORMER ICE CREAM PARLOR IN POLAND: ‘VERY RARE’
Diletta Giorgolo, head of residential at Italy Sotheby’s International Realty, told Fox News Digital the castle “has very ancient origins.”
Archaeological finds from the 6th century, she said, have been uncovered on the property.

“The first written mention of the castle itself dates to 1037, when Emperor Conrad II destroyed it during his war against Milan,” Giorgolo said.
The medieval elements, including a central courtyard, towers and fortified gates, were built between the 11th and 13th centuries.
“It is not just a property – it is a 1,000-year-old chapter of European history waiting to be reborn.”
In 1531, the castle was transformed from a military fortress into a Renaissance residence.
That renovation added frescoed halls, a grand staircase and refined residential features.
The structure also played a role in the 1529 Battle of Landriano, Giorgolo added, which was part of the War of the League of Cognac.

“Visitors can still see medieval arches in terracotta, Gothic windows, and Renaissance courtyards with Tuscan columns,” she said.
“Inside are remarkable spaces such as the Hall of the Amorini, the Hall of Music, and the Taverna family’s private Studiolo, with frescoes attributed to the Tibaldi school.”

The property even features a moat fed by the Lambro River. Giorgolo confirmed that the listing is a once-in-a-century type of opportunity.
“Castles of this scale, so close to Milan and Pavia, very rarely come to market,” the expert said.
“Many comparable castles are either ruins or have long been incorporated into public heritage.”

But the castle comes with two catches: The price is under wraps for now, and it will require a full restoration.
Keeping the price confidential is standard practice for protected Italian heritage properties.

“Although the property requires a complete restoration, it remains a sleeping giant – one of the few opportunities to acquire and revive such a significant piece of European history,” Giorgolo emphasized.
“The castle embodies nearly 1,000 years of history layered into its walls.”
The castle is “wrapped in folklore.”
As an added twist, the castle is also “wrapped in folklore,” according to Giorgolo.

“A local legend tells of Giannetta, a 16th-century herbalist accused of witchcraft and burned at the stake in the square outside the castle. Locals still whisper that her voice and shadow haunt the halls,” she noted.
So the castle tells “two parallel stories.”
“Castles of this scale, so close to Milan and Pavia, very rarely come to market,” a Sotheby’s spokesperson said.(Italy Sotheby’s International Realty)
“[It tells] the grand narrative of emperors, dukes, and decisive battles, and the everyday memory of myths and beliefs that have survived through the centuries,” she said.
“It is not just a property – it is a 1,000-year-old chapter of European history waiting to be reborn.”
The Castle of Landriano opportunity comes as other historic European estates hit the market.

St. John’s Jerusalem, a medieval monastery in England once used by crusader monks, was also recently listed for sale.
The 12th-century property is listed in the range of £3.25 million (roughly $4.4 million) for a lease ending in 2122.
Labor Day weekend is here, and with it comes cold beer, hot dogs, and a boatload of deals. The unofficial end of summer brings with it bargains on WIRED-tested gear, including home office essentials and some of our favorite gadgets. For the past few weeks, we’ve been tracking prices on the gear we recommend to our friends and bringing you the best sale prices.
Check our Best Labor Day Mattress Deals and Labor Day Outdoor Gear Deals stories for additional savings. We’ve also got some updated roundups for Back to School Deals and Back to School Laptop Deals.
Updated August 29, 2025: We’ve added 10 new deals from Therabody, Buffy, Hexclad, All-Clad, Petcube, Razer, Bruvi, and TP-Link. We’ve also ensured accurate pricing throughout and removed expired deals.
The Razer Blade 16 is the best gaming laptop overall. It’s got a sleek, clean aesthetic with thin bezels, a fantastic keyboard, a nice OLED screen, and a slim footprint. And while the 16 doesn’t feel obtrusive to travel with, it doesn’t skimp on performance. Graphics options range all the way up to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090, and base storage starts at 1 terabyte—though, in a first for Razer, you can only choose an AMD CPU. Get more nitty-gritty details in our full review.
This is a match of the best price we’ve seen for our favorite budget mesh Wi-Fi router. It supports Wi-Fi 6, which should still be fine for most people even though Wi-Fi 7 is already a thing. The Deco X20 has solid coverage and performance, especially with the three routers you’ll get with this deal (though singles and two-packs are also on sale if you’re in a small space). They’re easy to set up and they have optional parental controls and antivirus protection. You can also split the two 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz Wi-Fi bands, which will help if you’re running any smart home devices that explicitly require one or the other.
The Sony Bravia 7 II has been on sale for this price for a little while, but we have yet to see it drop lower. It’s in our Best TVs buying guide as the pick with the most immersive picture. It has natural yet vivid colors and excellent picture processing. Reviewer Ryan Waniata says it renders 4K and HD scenes “so clearly you’ll feel like they’re going to spill into your living room.” It could have better black levels and a few more ports, but it’s still an excellent set, especially at this price.

The Apple iPad (A16, 2025) is the iPad we recommend for most people. It comes in fun colors like blue and yellow, and it’s plenty powerful to handle whatever you’ll throw at it on a day-to-day basis—from playing games to streaming videos to browsing the web. It doesn’t support Apple Intelligence, which may be a blessing or a curse depending on whom you ask. It does have a modern bezel design around its 11-inch LCD screen, plus USB-C charging, a Touch ID sensor, and two 12-megapixel cameras—one in the back and one for selfies. It also works with many of the best iPad accessories.
The M4 Apple MacBook Air is the best MacBook for most people. This is the cheapest we’ve seen it. Where some MacBooks are overkill for basic everyday tasks, this lightweight model can handle them with ease—and you won’t be paying for performance that you won’t use. It has a bright display, long battery life, and support for up to two external displays as well as Apple Intelligence. And while you might want something else if you’ll be doing heavy video editing or need a giant screen, the M4 MacBook Air will be capable of handling multiple Google Chrome tabs and apps running in the background. We do wish it had some more ports, but you can always use a USB hub to customize them further.
These are the best noise-canceling earbuds we’ve tried. They have excellent sound quality and battery life, plus solid control options, and they’re comfortable to wear for long periods of time. But where they truly excel is in active noise canceling. They can make a busy subway car or crowded airplane disappear entirely, lending you extra focus or decompression with no effort.

The Fitbit Charge 6 is the best fitness tracker overall. It has gone on sale for $100 in the past, but $125 is a pretty good deal, since it regularly jumps up to full price. It looks nice and has all the features most folks would want, like step counting, sleep tracking, stats on calories burned and workout effectiveness, heart rate readings, and insights into SpO2 levels. It also has a long-lasting battery and integrations with Google Wallet and Google Maps (though it can be used with iOS devices as well as Android). Some of the better features are locked behind a subscription that costs $10 per month, but the gadget still works without that subscription.
This is a great deal for the best electronic sleepbuds, and you’ll also get a free travel case. The earbuds are comfortable to wear while you’re sleeping, and they have 10-hour battery life and passive noise cancelation as well as excellent audio quality. There’s a solid companion app, too, which lets you choose from different Sleep Sounds and access biometric data (which we have not yet tested).
This is a solid deal on the best laptop docking station. The Satechi Dual Dock Stand slightly elevates your laptop for better ergonomics, and it has a collection of ports, including three monitor outputs, several USB ports, and a solid-state drive enclosure. It connects to your laptop via two USB-C cables. If you don’t need a full-on docking station, check our guide to the Best USB Hubs.

Branch has made our favorite office chair for years. It has oodles of adjustable elements, including the arms, armrests, seat depth, recline, lumbar support, and seat tilt. The foam cushion seat is comfortable and the mesh backrest is supportive, too. The affordable price tag is icing on the cake, and while it doesn’t go on sale very often, you can save 10 percent until the sale ends with code LABORDAY.
If you don’t want to spring for the Ergonomic Chair Pro, this is the best budget-friendly office chair and an option worth considering. It’s very easy to assemble. and there are a few adjustable areas for a better fit—the armrests, seat, recline, and lumbar support can all be dialed in. There are some fun fabric color options, like blue and orange, though the upholstery does tend to pill and is a magnet for pet hair. Even with its quirks, it will be a definite upgrade if you’re still working from the ratty chair you picked up off Craigslist when you first built your home office.
Sitting all day is bad for you! This telescoping desk can be raised up as high as 45 inches, with simple setup and two available sizes. It comes in a few different finishes. The leg motors aren’t the quietest, but they work well, and the desk looks great in any setup. For additional recommendations, check our home office buying guide.

This coupon code gets you 20 percent off almost everything on Humanscale’s website. Humanscale makes some of the best office chairs. The Freedom Headrest is the best reclining office chair, and it drops from $1,743 to $1,394 with code SEMIANNUAL20. Editor Julian Chokkattu said, “This chair gracefully supports my back like a mother gently laying a baby in a crib.” We also like the Humanscale Path, which is great for tight spaces and even comes in armless versions. It falls from $1,294 to $1,035 after code.
Ettitude makes the best cooling bamboo sheets. This sheet set feels soft and silky, but stays cool to the touch, making it a great option for hot sleepers. The sheets are breathable and lightweight, and they’re available in seven different colors to match your bedroom decor. There’s also a 60-day trial period so you can make sure you like them before committing.
Prefer percale? This is the best lightweight percale cooling sheet set. The sheets are supremely breathable and soft, so they’re perfect for summer or particularly hot sleepers. The organic cotton is crisp without being crinkly or papery, and the eight different color options will mean there’s at least one to coordinate with your bedroom.
The Silk & Snow S&S Organic Mattress is our favorite organic latex mattress. The latex-wrapped coils help to alleviate any tension or pressure points while you’re sleeping, and it’s especially great for side sleepers. You can also get two pillows or a sheet set for free with your purchase. Check our roundup of Labor Day Mattress Deals for additional expert recommendations.

The Buffy Breeze is one of my favorite comforters. It’s been on my bed since I started testing it more than 3 years ago. It’s cooling in the summer, and its lightweight warmth is just the right amount of comfy for hot nights. But in the winter, it still works well to keep you warm, especially if you throw another blanket on top of it. It isn’t officially marketed as down alternative, but I do like it as an alternative to down.
Need to upgrade your bedding? This sleep set from Buffy is a solid way to do it. You’ll get the Buffy Cloud Comforter, Breeze Sheet Set, Breeze Duvet Cover, and two Cloud Pillows at a 30 percent discount. WIRED reviewer and bedding expert Nena Farrell uses the Cloud Comforter for almost all of her testing. She recommends the Breeze sheets in our cooling sheets buying guide, and the Cloud pillow in our pillows buying guide.
This is one of our favorite organic mattresses and it’s extremely customizable. Each side can have different levels of firmness—so if you prefer firm, but your bed partner prefers soft, you’ll both be set. There’s a cover that zips over the whole system, and you get a 100-night trial to swap the latex layers out so you can fine-tune your desired firmness. The mattress is made of organic cotton, latex, and wool, and it has the certifications we look for in organic mattresses.
This is the bed frame I’m currently using, and I love it very much. Assembly wasn’t my favorite, but once I got it all put together, I fell in love. It has a drawer at the foot of the bed that’s handy for storing extra linens or off-season clothing, and it’s sturdy too. I also appreciate that the platform lets me maneuver my mattress easily so I don’t have to fight to change my sheets.
Brooklyn Bedding is offering 30 percent off sitewide for its Labor Day sale. If you’re a retired or active military member, you can get an additional 5 percent off by verifying through ID Me. We like a few different products from Brooklyn Bedding. Its CopperFlex 401 Mattress Topper is the best mattress topper overall, and it’s on sale in the queen size for $419 ($180 off). Brooklyn Bedding also makes our favorite firm mattress, the Plank—on sale for $1,072 ($460 off).

This well-made, luxurious sofa is one of the best couches you can buy online. Operations manager Scott Gilbertson called it the best-looking and most comfortable couch he’s ever sat on. The website lets you order swatches and pick the layout you want, and you can even get a full-size printout to make sure the couch will look right in your living space. There are dozens of options for upholstery, legs, and cushion fill, so you can create the couch of your dreams. For a more affordable option, we also like the Benchmade Modern Laguna (pictured above) on sale for $2,397 ($599 off). “My family and I have been sitting on it for a year and a half now, and the single cushion (as well as the rest of the couch’s cushions) is comfortable and supportive,” says reviewer Nena Farrell.
We’ve recommended the Albany Park Barton in our couch buying guide for years. It’s soft and supportive, with deep seats and wide arms so you can put down your coffee cup or phone without needing an extra table. There are many different fabrics to choose from, and you can choose the stain of the wooden legs too. Assembly wasn’t too difficult—just be prepared to take out a lot of recycling afterward. The couch also comes with a 30-day trial so you can try it before committing.
This sale runs the gamut from kitchenware and mattress toppers to bedding, towels, and furniture. We haven’t tested most of the brands in the sale, but if you’re shopping for something like guest bedroom linens or new dining room chairs, you might find what you’re looking for.
The Joybird Eliot Sleeper Sofa is comfy and has a slick, MCM silhouette. It’s one of the best couches you can buy online. It’s custom-made for you, with dozens of options and finishes available (including bright pink velvet, which I chose.) It has deep seats that can be removed to reveal a pull-out mattress (which is also surprisingly comfortable). If you’re in the market for a custom couch, this sale is worth a look. The deal ends on September 1.

This is the best budget-friendly travel pillow. The outside is covered in a soft fabric made with recycled water bottles, and the memory foam construction is nice and firm, with high sides so you can easily lean your head toward your shoulder. It also has a chin strap to prevent your head from falling forward. Make sure you choose the option with the carrying case if that’s important to you!
I first started using this when I formerly tested meal kits for WIRED, and I still reach for it nearly every time I process produce in my kitchen. It’s oversized, measuring 12 by 16 inches, and it doesn’t slip around on my countertops. I like the built-in juice groove and the fact that I can still store it in my cupboards even though it’s bigger than standard cutting boards. It has zero knife damage, is BPA-free, and is dishwasher-safe.

When I tried Hexclad, I liked it just fine. Really! A score of 5 is “recommended with reservations.” It’s important to know what you’re getting, and what you’re getting is easy-to-clean cookware that works fine. I’d prefer to use two separate pans—a nonstick and a stainless steel—but I understand that some people want a one-and-done cooking companion. These frying pans are worth considering on sale, like they are right now. You’ll get three pans in 12-, 10-, and 8-inch sizes, plus their matching lids. If you know you want hybrid cookware, check out this sale.
The All-Clad Factory Seconds sale is one of the best, most reliable ways to save on the investment that is All-Clad. You’ll need to enter your email address to access the sale. There’s a reason why professional chefs reach for their trusty All-Clad constantly—this cookware is simply fantastic. It’s the gold standard. And it’s backed by a lifetime warranty! These Factory Seconds items aren’t in perfect condition. Sometimes there’s packaging damage, and sometimes there are minimal scuffs. Each item has details listed on the product page. This sale is absolutely massive and worth checking out if you need a cookware upgrade of any kind. Might I suggest the 10.5-inch All-Clad Fry Pan for $70 ($80 off)? Or perhaps get ahead of the holidays with the All-Clad Nonstick Large Roaster for $130 ($90 off)? The list goes on, but the sale will end in a few days’ time.
This is featured in our guide to the Best Kitchen Composters. It has the fastest compost breakdown of any model we tried. It has some quirks, like a lid that requires two hands to open and the machine’s tendency to make a loud whirring noise as it works. But it’s a great entry-level kitchen composter, and it doesn’t drop in price very often.
The Bruvi BV-01 is the best pod coffee machine. It’s super-cute and easy to use, with a large touchscreen, fast brewing times, remote scheduling, and used pod collection. The best part, though, is that the proprietary B-Pods are biodegradable. They make perfectly fine coffee, tea, or espresso, and they don’t sit in a landfill forever. This price matches the best we’ve seen. You’ll get the coffee maker itself, plus 20 B-Pods in a variety of flavors.

The Ooni Volt is the very best electric pizza oven. It can heat up to 850 degrees Fahrenheit, and the triple-pane glass door always lets you see what’s going on. And while you might miss out on some of the vibes that come with a fire-powered oven, the Volt can safely be used indoors and outdoors—so you won’t have to brave the coming winter chill (or supply propane refills) to get your paws on some good ‘za.
Hydroviv makes one of the best shower water filters we’ve tested. The bacteriostatic showerhead was able to filter total chlorine down to undetectable levels in reviewer Matthew Korfhage’s chloramine-treated water. This deal is for the automatically replenishing subscription bundle. Hydroviv says you should replace filters every six months, but you can pause or cancel that subscription if you decide you want to order them separately.
Our favorite feeder pet camera goes on sale relatively often, but this is still a solid deal since it regularly jumps up to full price. It has 1080p streaming video, night vision up to 30 feet, two-way audio, and 8x zoom. What sets this camera apart is its treat- or food-dispensing capabilities. Fill up the container with your pet’s chosen treats, and you can use the app to toss them remotely. The best features, like motion and sound alerts and 90 days of video storage, are locked behind a Petcube Care subscription which costs $10 per month.

Our favorite electric scooter, the Apollo Go, manages to strike an excellent balance between features and price. It weighs 46 pounds and has maximum speeds of 28 miles per hour, though you can tweak top speed, brake strength, and acceleration response in the app. It also has a few extra features like turn signals, a bell, and self-healing tires. We haven’t seen it sell for less.
The XPress 750 is our favorite ebike for folks on a budget. The frame is comfortable and the pedaling feels natural, so it feels more like a classic bike and less like a lean, mean electric machine. The range could be better, but you’ll have no trouble zooming around your neighborhood at top speeds of 28 mph. And the LCD display and controls are simple and easy to use, so this is an especially great bike for beginners.

Breeo makes the best upgrade firepit. The American-made pit has a fire bowl that’s 2 feet wide, so it’ll fit pre-cut wood, and there are a ton of accessories available. (We especially like the live-fire pizza oven, on sale for $723—a $128 discount). The hefty, sturdy base and natural patina (on the Corten steel option) make this a centerpiece worthy of any backyard.
WIRED reviewer Julian Chokkattu tested and loved this outdoor couch and armchair set. The couches come with OuterShell, which is a built-in cover that helps protect the couch cushions from the elements (and stray bird poops). The performance fabric is made from recyclable materials, and the covers are machine washable. Julian still has to see how the couch fares in New York winters, but so far, it’s sturdy and comfortable. We like that the couch is made with Forest Stewardship Council-certified wood. It’s also backed by a 10-year warranty and available in four different fabric options.
This is a match of the best price we’ve seen for our favorite Theragun. It’s the same model used by many professional sports teams, and it has heat therapy as well as an optional cold therapy attachment (the latter is a separate purchase). There’s a vibration head, LED light therapy, and a guided breathwork option too. If you want to invest in your recovery routine, this is a good way to do it.
The Therabody TheraFace Mask is an LED face mask with vibration. It has red, blue, and near-infrared LEDs, plus vibration motors to help you relax during your three- or nine-minute sessions. We like the cordless, hands-free design, though we wish it had a few more bells and whistles like app controls or a battery indicator. If you’ve been eyeing it, though, it rarely gets cheaper than it is right now.

WIRED reviewer Martin Cizmar liked this full-featured cold plunge tub almost as much as his top pick, and it’s significantly cheaper. It has a sleek, modern aesthetic, and the acrylic walls are easy to clean. We regret to inform you that while it is unpleasant to submerge yourself in near-freezing water, it has a number of notable health and wellness benefits that our testers have personally felt. If you want a great-looking cold plunge tub and you don’t want to overpay for it, this deal is worth checking out.

MNOGI se danas pitaju koliko je proteina zapravo potrebno za dobro zdravlje. Stručnjaci ističu da, unatoč uvjerenju da svima treba više proteina, većina ljudi unosi dovoljno.
“Suprotno uvjerenju da svima treba više proteina, većina zadovoljava ili premašuje svoje potrebe, osobito kada je riječ o životinjskim proizvodima”, objašnjava dijetetičarka Tara Schmidt za Parade. Ipak, postoje znakovi koji mogu upućivati na to da tijelu ipak nedostaje proteina – ovo su neki od njih.
Problemi s koncentracijom
Dijetetičarka Maura Donovan ističe da nedostatak proteina može uzrokovati “moždanu maglu”, odnosno poteškoće s koncentracijom i zaboravljivost. Aminokiseline igraju važnu ulogu u kognitivnim funkcijama, a njihov manjak može dovesti do osjećaja mentalne magle.
Slabi nokti i ispadanje kose
“Vaši nokti mogu postati lomljivi ako ne unosite dovoljno proteina”, kaže dijetetičarka Kim Shapira. Protein je ključan za stvaranje keratina, koji čini nokte čvrstima. Shapira upozorava i da se nedostatak proteina može odraziti na kosu, uz prorjeđivanje i pojačano ispadanje, jer su za rast i snagu vlasi također potrebni keratin i aminokiseline.
Sporo zacjeljivanje rana i češće modrice
Nutricionistica i dijetetičarka Kerri Louati objašnjava da nedostatak proteina može usporiti zacjeljivanje sitnih rana i ogrebotina. Osim toga, mogu se češće pojavljivati modrice jer tijelo nema dovoljno resursa za regeneraciju tkiva.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Probavne smetnje i nadutost
Louati također upozorava da manjak proteina može utjecati na probavu: “Simptomi poput nadutosti, žgaravice ili osjećaja brze sitosti mogu ukazivati na manjak proteina potrebnog za probavne enzime i zdravu razinu želučane kiseline.”
Kronični umor i slab imunitet
Nedostatak proteina može dovesti do poremećaja sna, što ostavlja osjećaj iscrpljenosti. Dijetetičarka Ashley Koff napominje da se tada češće javljaju oscilacije šećera u krvi i pospanost nakon obroka. Shapira dodaje da manjak proteina slabi imunitet: “To može rezultirati češćim infekcijama i sporijim oporavkom.”
Razumijevanje uloge proteina u tijelu i otkrivanje različitih izvora proteina može biti koristan korak za održavanje zdravlja.

Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty channelled her inner Chandni as she posed in a beautiful yellow chiffon saree and called it her ode to late legendary actress Sridevi.” ‘We Will Not Be Holding Our Ganpati Celebrations’: Shilpa Shetty to Skip Ganesh Chaturthi 2025 Due to Family Bereavement, Shares Emotional Statement on Instagram (View Post).
Shilpa took to Instagram, where she shared a reel video of herself dressed in a bright yellow chiffon saree as she got herself clicked during a photo-shoot. She used the instrumental title track of the 1989 film, starring Sridevi and Rishi Kapoor, as the background score for the video.
Shilpa Shetty’s Stunning Yellow Saree Look
“My Ode to my forever OG Sriji #Chandni #Chandnivibes,” Shilpa wrote as caption.
Chandni, a romantic film, directed by Yash Chopra, stars Sridevi in the title role of Chandni Mathur, a young effervescent woman torn between two suitors played by Rishi Kapoor and Vinod Khanna.
The film also stars Waheeda Rehman, Anupam Kher, Sushma Seth, Mita Vashisht, and Manohar Singh.
After a series of failed action films, Yash Chopra decided to make a romantic musical, a film with all the hallmarks of what has come to be known as the “Yash Chopra style” – heroine-oriented, romantic and emotional with melodic music used in songs picturized in foreign locations.
The film followed the story of Chandni and her fiance, Rohit, is paralysed in an accident. She is forced to relocate to Mumbai where her boss, Lalit, falls for her. However, she faces a dilemma when Rohit returns and woos her too.
On the acting front, Shilpa was last seen in Sukhee, a humorous slice-of-life tale It told the story of Sukhee, who relives her teenage years while experiencing a variety of things over the course of just seven days, emerging reignited, reborn, and making the hardest shift of her life. Shilpa Shetty Shares Romantic Moment With Raj Kundra, Actress Posts Dreamy Video With Husband on Song ‘Jogiya’ From Raj’s Upcoming Punjabi Film ‘Mehar’.
She will next be seen in KD: The Devil, a Kannada action drama film directed by Prem. The film stars Dhruva Sarja in the titular role, alongside Sanjay Dutt, Shilpa Shetty, V. Ravichandran, Ramesh Aravind, Reeshma Nanaiah and Nora Fatehi.

U NEDAVNO objavljenom viralnom videu vlasnica Maine coon mačka snimila je trenutak kada je mislila da će njezin ljubimac mirno drijemati na suncu. No, mačak je imao potpuno drugačije planove, a ishod je nasmijao milijune korisnika interneta.
Urnebesna snimka, koju je objavila korisnica @kayleighmaven, prikazuje narančastog mačka pasmine Maine Coon kako kratko uživa u zrakama sunca prije nego što se iznenada predomisli. Naime, odlučio je napasti svog psećeg prijatelja, sibirskog haskija, koji se samo opuštao na podu u blizini.
Narančasti mačak skočio je na glavu haskija i počeo se hrvati sa psom. U opisu videa vlasnica je napisala: “Mislila sam da će lijepo ležati na suncu”, a u komentarima je dodala: “Narančaste mačke kolektivno imaju 2 moždane stanice.”
Mogu li psi i mačke biti prijatelji?
Unatoč čestom stereotipu da su smrtni neprijatelji, mačke i psi mogu mirno živjeti zajedno i postati najbolji prijatelji, baš kao i društvo sa snimke. Kako piše Newsweek, dr. Nick Horniman, veterinarski kirurg s više od 30 godina iskustva, izjavio je kako je potpuno normalno da psi i mačke stvaraju snažne veze, pogotovo kada su odgajani zajedno ili uvedeni u pozitivno i sigurno okruženje.

“U mnogim slučajevima, ova prijateljstva između različitih vrsta su korisna jer smanjuju osjećaj usamljenosti za oba ljubimca”, izjavio je veterinar.
Video je postao hit na internetu
Snimka je brzo postala viralna na TikToku te je do sada prikupila više od 6,9 milijuna pregleda i 1,1 milijun lajkova. Korisnici su u komentarima izrazili svoje oduševljenje. “Narančasti mačak i haski??? Ti uživaš u kaosu”, našalila je jedna korisnica.
“Vjerojatno se htio sunčati, ali onda je ugledao svog brata i odabrao nasilje”, dodao je drugi gledatelj.

PARMIGIANI je predstavio satove Toric Petite Seconde u dvije varijante – Dune i Golden Hour. Model Dune dolazi u kućištu od 18-karatnog ružičastog zlata, dok je Golden Hour izrađen od platine 950, a oba imaju zlatne brojčanike zrnate teksture i izgledaju nevjerojatno elegantno.
Vrtoglave cijene
Zrnati uzorak brojčanika izrađen je tehnikom iz 17. stoljeća koju je oživio sam Michel Parmigiani. Krajnji rezultat je matirana, kamenolika tekstura koja služi kao savršena pozadina za polirane kazaljke i oznake sati, a zahvaljujući ovoj kombinaciji čitljivost je izvrsna.
Promjer brojčanika je 40.6 mm, a debljina je 8.8 mm. Satovi rade na PF780 mehanizam, imaju rezervu snage od 60 sati, a vodootporni su do 30 metara. Brojčanik štiti safirno staklo, a narukvice su izrađene od aligatorove kože.

Cijena Dune sata iznosi 47.000 švicarskih franaka, što je otprilike 50.237 eura, a Golden Hour 54.000 švicarskih franaka, odnosno oko 57.719 eura.

Mumbai, August 29: Addressing the National Sports Day – 2025, a function organised at the Multipurpose Sports Hall Parade Ground on the occasion of Major Dhyanchand Jayanti on Friday, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said that sports and sportsmanship provide energy, discipline and inspiration to society. He said that Major Dhyanchand introduced the whole world to India’s sports power with the magic of his stick, according to a press release from Uttarakhand CMO. National Sports Day 2025: Sakshi Malik Urges Youth To Embrace Fitness on Hockey Legend Major Dhyan Chand’s Birth Anniversary.
“He even told Hitler what patriotism really is. Following his ideals, today under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, our country is also becoming a global sports power, in which Uttarakhand has also geared up to play its role. He said that the Prime Minister is trying to encourage sports culture in the country through programs like “Khelo India” and “Fit India Movement”. Today, our players do not play only to participate in any competition but enter the field with the resolve to win and wave the tricolour,” the CM said.
“Looking at recent examples, Neeraj Chopra created history by winning the gold medal in the javelin throw at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, while the men’s hockey team won the bronze medal after a 41-year wait. Similarly, in the Paris Olympics, Neeraj Chopra won the silver medal, Manu Bhaker won two bronze medals, Swapnil Kusle and Aman Sehrawat won one bronze medal each, and the men’s hockey team brought glory to India by winning its second consecutive bronze medal.”
“In the recently held Asian Athletics Championship, Jyoti Yarajji, Gulveer Singh and Avinash Sable have raised the flag of India by winning gold medals. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has increased the sports budget three times,” he added. National Sports Day 2025: Sachin Tendulkar Shares Heartfelt Message Celebrating India’s Athletes Across Disciplines, Says ‘Diverse Sports Mirror a Diverse Nation’.
The Chief Minister said, as quoted by the press release, “The grand and successful organisation of the 38th National Games held in Uttarakhand has paved the way to establish Uttarakhand as ‘Devbhoomi’ as well as ‘Khelbhoomi”. In this year’s National Games, our players created history by winning 103 medals and securing 7th position in the National Games for the first time. Now world-class sports infrastructure has been developed in the state. “
Uttarakhand has become capable of organising not only national but also international sports competitions. Recently, the country’s only Olympic-standard Himadri ice rink has been renovated. As a result, international-level competition has been organised in this ice rink, which is not only a matter of pride for our state but has also proved to be a milestone in ushering in a new era of winter sports in India.
“The state government is also going to implement a ‘Sports Legacy Plan’ soon, under which 23 sports academies will be established in eight major cities of the state. Every year, 920 world-class athletes and 1000 other players will receive high-level training in these academies. The state government is setting up Uttarakhand’s first sports university in Haldwani and a women’s sports college in Lohaghat,” Dhami added.
Under the new sports policy, medal winners at the national and international level are being given the facility of government jobs. Along with this, facilities like free training and education to the players studying in residential sports colleges, and sports scholarships are also being provided to encourage talented youth. National Sports Day 2025: Shikhar Dhawan Shares Special Message on Major Dhyan Chand’s Birth Anniversary, Says ‘Jitna Kheloge, Utna Seekhoge…’.
The state government is also working to encourage the emerging young players of the state through programs like ‘Chief Minister Sports Development Fund’, ‘Chief Minister Khiladi Protsahan Yojana’, ‘Chief Minister Udiyaman Khiladi Yojana’ and ‘Khel Kit Yojana’.
While awarding the medal-winning players in various international competitions on this occasion, the Chief Minister said, On the occasion of Sports Day, the state government is providing honorarium of about Rs 16 crore to more than 250 players and their trainers. Among the players being honoured, Mandeep Kaur, Amisha Rawat and Manoj Sarkar, who participated in the Paris Olympics 2024, have been given an honorarium of Rs 50 lakh each.”
Shaurya Saini and Abhinav Deshwal, who brought glory to the country by winning gold medals in international competitions, were awarded an honorarium of Rs 30 lakh each. Apart from this, an amount of about Rs 5.5 crore was also provided to 3,900 players under the “Mukhyamantri Udiyaman Khiladi Unnayan Yojana” and 2,199 players under the “Mukhyamantri Protsahan Yojana” for their monthly scholarship.

The CM concluded by saying, ” India has started efforts to host the Commonwealth Games in 2030, so the Sports Department and young players will have to start preparing for it from now on. On this occasion, the Chief Minister announced to build an athletic synthetic track in the Parade Ground and lay synthetic football turf in the Pavilion Football Ground. On this occasion, he also provided out-of-turn appointment letters to Manasi Negi in the Sports Department and Mohammad Arshad in the Police Department, who won medals in sports events.”

Reliance has announced a number of new AI-powered features coming to the JioHotstar app, which includes a new voice assistant, a real-time dubbing service, and new viewing angles.
Akash Ambani, Chairman of Jio, while speaking about Jio’s new voice assistant Riya, said, “Finding what to watch from thousands of hours of content can feel overwhelming. That’s why we have built Riya, your new voice-enabled search assistant that makes discovering content effortless. Riya is built for the way you think and speak, whether it’s key moments from your favorite shows.”
The new voice assistant can understand natural language inputs and find the relevant search results across seasons, episodes, and years.
Ambani also unveiled a new real-time voice cloning service inside the JioHotstar app called Voice Print. With the new option, users can enjoy their favorite content in the local language with the original actor’s voice and expressions by taking advantage of lip-sync and AI voice-cloning technology.
“With the power of AI voice cloning and lip-sync technology, your favorite stars will not just get dubbed, they will speak in your language, in their own voice, with perfect lip-sync on screen,” Ambani added.
JioHotstar will also get a JioLenZ feature, which allows users to watch the content in different viewing angles, depending on the screen that they are watching it on.
The last feature coming to the JioHotstar app is called MaxView 3.0, which allows users to access real-time features like live scorecards, instant highlights, different languages, and multiple camera angles.
“This cricket viewing experience has been designed around the way you naturally hold your phone, making it more immersive, more intuitive and closer to the action than ever before,” Ambani noted.
Ambani, however, did not share details of when the features would go live on the JioHotstar app, and there is no available timeline yet on either the RIL or Jio website.
VENICE, Italy: Julia Roberts is making her Venice Film Festival debut with the psychosexual drama “After the Hunt,” which premieres Friday evening.
The film is set in the world of higher education and stars Roberts as a beloved professor whose mentee, played by “The Bear’s” Ayo Edebiri, accuses her friend and colleague (Andrew Garfield) of crossing the line.
“After the Hunt” was directed by Italian filmmaker Luca Guadagnino, who is no stranger to the festival. Last year he brought “Queer,” with Daniel Craig, and several years ago had “ Bones & All,” with Timothée Chalamet. His tennis love triangle film “Challengers,” with Zendaya, was supposed to open Venice in 2023 but the Hollywood strikes upended much of that year’s festival and it was pulled.
Guadagnino regulars Michael Stuhlbarg and Chloë Sevigny are also part of the “After the Hunt” ensemble. Amazon MGM Studios plans an Oct. 10 theatrical release in North America.
“After the Hunt” is playing out of competition at the festival, meaning it won’t be up for any of the major awards come Sept. 6. Venice chief Alberto Barbera said that it was strong enough to be in the competition, but the studio requested otherwise.
Two days in, the 82nd edition of the Venice Film Festival is in full swing with many major premieres to come including Guillermo del Toro’s “Frankenstein,” Benny Safdie’s “The Smashing Machine” and Kathryn Bigelow’s “A House of Dynamite.”

Prince Lathiya, Non-Executive Director, Abril Paper Tech said the fresh funds to be raised will enable the company to expand capacity, upgrade technology and strengthen market presence.
The crisps are laced with natural ingredients like turmeric, ginger, black pepper and green tea antioxidants found in hangover-prevention supplements.
Morning after mixes and drinks are common enough to combat hangovers. But now snacking brand Too Yumm! has just dropped something called – Party Harder Chips, which it claims is the world’s first-ever anti-hangover chips inspired by Livitup, the trusted anti-hangover supplement from Dr. Vaidya’s. The crisps are laced with natural ingredients like turmeric, ginger, black pepper and green tea antioxidants found in hangover-prevention supplements. To announce the product, the brand has put together a high energy video starring Varun Dhawan who delivers iconic blockbuster dialogues in a playful manner, even as he drives home the message of saying goodbye to hangovers.
A Florida beach house, dubbed the “Trump house,” has taken TikTok by storm for its eye-catching décor.
Marvin Peavy’s Walton County home sits on Florida’s Scenic Highway 30A in the northwestern part of the Sunshine State, which has been dubbed the “Hamptons of the South.”
Peavy stepped into the spotlight over a legal dispute with local officials after he hung large pro-Trump banners on his home.

His TikTok account shows various banners he has installed, amassing millions of views and thousands of followers.
One of Peavy’s most popular videos shows him dancing to “YMCA” with three Trump banners, shot a day before the presidential election.

“Who’s your Daddy?” says one banner. Others say “bulletproof” and “Trump coming home 2025,” all including photos of President Trump.
In 2021, Peavy was ordered to remove the banners within five days or pay $50 per day until he took them down, according to meeting minutes from a Walton County code enforcement hearing.

Last year, Trace Gallagher spoke with Peavy on “Fox News @ Night,” debuting his “Who’s your Daddy?” banner with President Trump pointing.
“[Walton County officials] came against my constitutional right. They tried to beat me at my own God-given constitutional rights. And they can’t do it, I stood up, and I will fight,” said Peavy at the time.

In March 2025, a circuit judge ruled that the fines were unjust, ordering Walton County to pay Peavy’s legal fees, totaling $42,000.
His latest video, posted on July 2, shows a banner of President Trump’s mugshot, captioned “I don’t give a…” with a rat and donkey.
Also shown in the video is a “Welcome to the Gulf of America” map and a “Salute to 250 years of American independence.”

His TikTok video has garnered a large following, with fans commenting and some even visiting his home.
“I was there this past weekend,” commented one woman with a photo of herself outside Peavy’s house.

Another person wrote, “I saw ur banner yesterday, very patriotic.”
“I’ve been waiting for your new signs! Awesome as always,” commented a user.
One TikToker wrote, “Wish I was your neighbor! A: I could drink coffee every morning waiting on the next banner and B: I would be rich.”

Someone else commented, “I was obsessed with your house on our vacation.”

Save up to $200 on Top Dyson Products This Labor Day
Although any money off one of Dyson’s vacuums is great, we always want to make sure you’re choosing the best deal. The Dyson V15 Detect Submarine Absolute is $799 right now ($200 off). For a limited time, purchase the Dyson V8 Absolute –now $160 off—and you’ll get a free gift of a furniture cleaning kit worth $70 of Dyson-engineered accessories to clean surfaces and soft furnishings. This vac has powerful suction, is low noise, and provides deep cleaning with de-tangling technology. There’s also a deal for $200 off (and a free gift worth $70) the Dyson V12 Detect Slim, which we rated an 8/10 WIRED recommends and think it works best for small spaces. For extra context, we ranked the Dyson V15 Detect as the best overall Dyson vacuum because it’s great for people with severe allergies, plus it’s just a great high-performing stick vac.
Former WIRED reviewer Medea Giordano recommended the Dyson Airwrap, giving it an 8/10 for its multi-functionality, diverse offerings for different hair types while using less heat, and its light weight and easy-to-use design. Dyson hair care deals feature up to $105 off Supersonic hair dryers and complimentary gifts on the Airwrap Multistyler—like a presentation case, detangling comb, and a heat-resistant mat (for a total value over $70).

But if you’re in the mood to splurge, check out special edition launches like the new Dyson Airwrap i.d. multi-styler and dryer in limited-edition colors like Jasper Plum and Blush Pink. These start at $500, but, you can opt for Dyson’s Afterpay and Affirm financing options to break it up into more manageable monthly payments.
Get up to 30% Off When You Shop the Dyson Outlet
Dyson products are pretty much universally beloved for their innovative designs and technology, and are built to last decades. With that craftsmanship and sturdiness comes a steep price tag (you get what you pay for though!). But have no fear, Dyson is a brand for the people, and has an online Dyson outlet section where folks can get certified refurbished Dyson vacuums, hair tools, and air purifiers at up to 30% off (and as a bonus, all of these products are backed by Dyson’s official warranty). Every product is tested, inspected, and restored to like-new condition, so that you can have peace of mind when you buy these steeply discounted products. They have deals on their biggest sellers, like a refurbished Dyson Corrale™ styler straightener for $220 off, refurbished Dyson V8 vacuum cleaner for $110 off, and a refurbished Dyson V15 Detect Total Clean Extra vacuum cleaner for $200 off.
Our Favorite Dyson Cordless Vacuums
Dyson offers tons of different cordless vacuums, so it can feel overwhelming to find the right one. As we mentioned earlier, a bunch of the cordless vacuums on sale are WIRED-approved. There’s the V12 Detect Slim (8/10, WIRED Recommends) which is the best for small spaces; the Dyson V8 for those on a budget; and the Gen5Detect Absolute which is the best upgrade pick. The V7, which is also on sale, is a fine vacuum. But having launched in 2017, it’s a much older model that isn’t as powerful as the other options. We named the Dyson V15 Detect the best Dyson vacuum in part because of its green laser that shoots out the front of the motorized head, which illuminates the dust particles in your path. A sensor inside the vacuum counts the number of particles the V15 is sucking up and tells you the particle sizes on the LCD. The same sensor automatically adjusts the power level to match how gnarly your floors are.You can read more about our experiences with each one in our Dyson buying guide.
Shop the Latest Dyson Hair Styling Technology
The Dyson Corrale is one of our favorite Hair Straighteners (we rated it an 8/10) because its flexing plates straighten hair better. It also has a helpful screen, lower heat options which mean less damage to hair, it’s conveniently cordless and also curls hair well. The professional version is available right now and comes with 2 complimentary gifts at checkout.
We loved the wet-to-dry straightener, Dyson Airstrait straightener, which we gave a 8/10 because it achieves great performance without heat plates. It also has a bunch of lower heat options, multiple styling settings, and it cuts the time used for hair routine in half. It also can be used on wet or dry hair, both dries and straightens, and even has an Auto-Standby mode for a greater sense of safety.
BOLESTI srca vodeći su uzrok smrti, ali stručnjaci naglašavaju da se rizik može smanjiti zdravim navikama poput redovite tjelovježbe, kvalitetnog sna i upravljanja stresom. Vrlo važnu ulogu ima i prehrana. “Hrana koju svakodnevno jedete može izravno utjecati na zdravlje srca, osobito kada je riječ o kolesterolu i šećeru”, kaže kardiologinja dr. Joyce Oen-Hsiao za Parade.
Dodaje da visoki kolesterol dovodi do naslaga u arterijama i povećava rizik od srčanog i moždanog udara, dok hrana bogata šećerom može pogoršati stvaranje plaka i dovesti do bolesti srca i bubrega. Dakle, ovo je popis namirnica koje kardiolozi često jedu za zdravlje srca.
Lisnato povrće
Dr. Oen-Hsiao ističe važnost zelenog lisnatog povrća poput špinata i kelja jer je bogato antioksidansima, vitaminima i vlaknima. “Osim toga, povrće vas zasiti i sprječava da posegnete za ugljikohidratima koji mogu povisiti šećer u krvi”, objašnjava.
Zobene pahuljice
Kardiologinja dr. Heather Shenkman navodi da su zobene pahuljice odlične za srce jer sadrže topiva vlakna koja snižavaju LDL kolesterol, poboljšavaju regulaciju šećera u krvi i pružaju antioksidanse. “Sve to zajedno smanjuje rizik od ateroskleroze i srčanih bolesti”, kaže Shenkman, koja ih često jede za doručak s voćem i orašastim plodovima.
Orašasti plodovi
“Najbolji izbor su bademi i orasi. Oni su zdrave masti u usporedbi s kolačima, slatkišima i pecivima”, ističe dr. Oen-Hsiao. Preporučuje ih kao međuobrok kada možda nismo previše gladni, ali želimo nešto pojesti između obroka.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Cikla
“Cikla je dobra za zdravlje srca jer je bogata nitratima i spojevima koji poboljšavaju funkciju krvnih žila, reguliraju tlak i podržavaju kardiovaskularno zdravlje”, tvrdi dr. Shenkman. Dodaje da se može kuhati na pari, peći s drugim povrćem ili dodati u smoothie kao prirodni poticaj prije treninga.
Avokado
“Obožavam avokado – jedem ga kad god mogu, bilo kao užinu, u salati ili čak u sushiju”, kaže dr. Oen-Hsiao. Ističe da je avokado bogat zdravim mastima i vlaknima, koji pomažu u snižavanju kolesterola.
Lubenica
Dr. Shenkman navodi da je lubenica izvrsna za srce jer sadrži L-citrulin koji pomaže u stvaranju dušikova oksida, a on opušta krvne žile i smanjuje opterećenje srca. “Lubenica također sadrži puno vode koja pomaže u hidraciji te antioksidanse koji štite krvne žile”, kaže i zaključuje da ju voli poslužiti narezanu ili u salati s rukolom i mentom.

Are tablets safe for kids to use?
Yes, tablets are safe for children if used with proper parental controls. Most kids’ tablets come with screen-time limits, app restrictions, and safe browsing modes. Parents can monitor usage and ensure kids access only age-appropriate content. Choosing a tablet with a durable design, eye-protection features like blue-light filters, and educational apps makes them safer. Balance is key, encouraging healthy screen habits is just as important as the device itself.
What features should I look for in a kids’ tablet?
Look for durability, a strong battery life, good parental controls, and a child-friendly interface. A sturdy case or shockproof design is essential since kids often drop devices. Educational apps, drawing tools, and expandable storage add long-term value. Consider tablets with blue-light filters and appropriate screen size for comfortable use. Wi-Fi safety settings and regular software updates also ensure security and smooth performance for your child.
How much should I spend on a kids’ tablet?
The price depends on your child’s needs. Entry-level kids’ tablets start around ₹7,000– ₹10,000 and are suitable for basic learning and games. Mid-range options ( ₹12,000– ₹20,000) offer better screens, faster performance, and more storage. Premium tablets, above ₹25,000, provide advanced features like stylus support for drawing and multi-user profiles. Always balance affordability with safety features and durability, ensuring the tablet grows with your child’s learning and entertainment requirements.
Factors to consider while buying tablets for children
Parental Controls: A must-have for any kids’ tablet. Strong parental control features let you set screen-time limits, block unwanted apps, and monitor browsing. This ensures children stay safe online while accessing only age-appropriate content.
Durability and Design: Kids tend to drop devices, so choose a tablet with a sturdy body, a protective case, and a scratch-resistant screen. Lightweight designs are also easier for children to handle.
Screen Size and Eye Protection: Pick a screen size comfortable for reading, drawing, or studying, usually 8 to 10 inches works best. Look for blue-light filters or eye-comfort modes to reduce strain during long use.
Educational and Entertainment Features: Opt for tablets with preloaded learning apps, drawing tools, e-books, and entertainment options. A good balance between study and fun keeps kids engaged productively.
Battery Life and Storage: Long battery life is essential for uninterrupted learning and entertainment. Ensure there’s enough storage (or expandable memory) to handle apps, videos, and drawings without lag.

With a career spanning more than 30 years, Khan has built a reputation for blockbuster successes but his recent outings like “Sikandar”, “Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan”, “Radhe”, “Dabangg 3”, and “Race 3” have not lived up to the expectations of his loyal fan base.
Barjatya, however, is optimistic about Khan’s career and making a huge comeback.
“I think it happens in everyone’s life…it is just that he is a celebrity, that’s why he gets so much attention. But everyone should be allowed to make a mistake, to learn because that is what his life is.
“We have to allow each other to (grow), we should not be so harsh. He is such a good person, he is so strong that he is going to come back in a very big way,” the director said.
Both Barjatya and Khan are busy working on their respective new films.
The filmmaker is looking forward to beginning work on a new family drama set to feature Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari, while Khan has begun work on a much-anticipated war drama titled “Battle of Galwan”.
Based on the 2020 Galwan Valley conflict, this film is helmed by Apoorva Lakhia.
Markets witnessed a sharp decline on Thursday as investors grappled with the impact of the United States imposing an additional 25 per cent tariff on Indian exports, taking the total levy to 50 per cent, which significantly dampened market sentiment across all major indices.
The Sensex plummeted 705.97 points or 0.87 per cent to close at 80,080.57, near its intraday low of 80,013.02, while the Nifty 50 fell 211.15 points or 0.85 per cent to settle at 24,500.90 after hitting a low of 24,481.60. The benchmark indices extended their losing streak on the monthly expiry day, with both closing deep in the red territory.
“Domestic equities ended lower as pessimism took hold following the implementation of tariffs on Indian goods, dampening investor sentiments,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Investments Limited. “While the cotton import duty exemption briefly lifted hopes of policy support to counter tariff impacts, triggering a short-lived intraday recovery, investor mood remained fragile.”
Most sectors faced selling pressure, with Auto, IT, FMCG, and Metals ending in negative territory as investors turned to profit booking from recent gains. Consumer Durables emerged as the sole resilient sector, likely supported by expectations of GST rationalization and festive demand.
Among individual stocks, Titan Company led the gainers on Nifty 50, rising 1.06 per cent to ₹3,632, followed by Coal India which gained 0.68 per cent to ₹375. Hero MotoCorp advanced 0.65 per cent to ₹5,106.60, while Larsen & Toubro climbed 0.64 per cent to ₹3,564.10. Maruti Suzuki rounded up the top five gainers with a 0.57 per cent increase to ₹14,798.
On the losing side, Shriram Finance emerged as the biggest laggard, tumbling 3.94 per cent to ₹571.25, followed by HCL Technologies which declined 2.85 per cent to ₹1,450.20. Power Grid Corporation fell 2.04 per cent to ₹274.20, while Tata Consultancy Services dropped 1.88 per cent to ₹3,098. Tata Consumer Products completed the list of top five losers, declining 1.82 per cent to ₹1,060.20.
“The Indian equity market witnessed a volatile and mostly bearish expiry session on Thursday, as Donald Trump’s additional 25 per cent tariff on Indian exports and the overall levy to 50 per cent weighed heavily on sentiment,” said Hariprasad K, SEBI-registered Research Analyst and Founder of Livelong Wealth. “The Nifty has now given up all the gains for the August series, closing deep in the red with a clear bearish undertone.”
Market breadth remained weak throughout the session, with 2,651 stocks declining against 1,458 advances on the BSE, while 149 stocks remained unchanged. Out of 4,258 stocks traded, 102 hit their 52-week highs while 141 touched their 52-week lows. Nine stocks hit the upper circuit while six touched the lower circuit.
The broader market indices mirrored the weakness, with Nifty Next 50 declining 1.29 per cent to 65,940.30, while Nifty Financial Services fell 1.20 per cent to 25,640.30. Nifty Bank dropped 1.16 per cent to 53,820.35, and Nifty MidCap 100 slipped 1.27 per cent to 56,047.50.
“Markets extended their decline on monthly expiry day, losing nearly a percent and continuing the corrective trend,” noted Ajit Mishra, SVP Research at Religare Broking Ltd. “Sentiment remained under strain from the implementation of additional 25 per cent U.S. tariff, which, combined with weakness in heavyweights such as banks, is exerting steady pressure on the markets.”
The currency market also felt the heat of the trade tensions, with the rupee trading weak as selling pressure in capital markets deepened. “Rupee traded weak as selling pressure in capital markets deepened, with FII flows continuing to remain negative amid persistent concerns on India’s growth outlook and fiscal deficit,” said Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst at LKP Securities. “The rupee is expected to remain under pressure with a near-term range of 87.25–88.25.”
Foreign Institutional Investors continued their selling spree, having offloaded ₹34,733 crore in August alone, adding to the market’s woes. “Adding to the pressure, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) continued their selling spree, offloading ₹34,733 crore in August alone,” highlighted Hariprasad K.
In the commodities space, gold traded positively amid rupee weakness and rising international prices. “Gold traded positive amid weakness in the rupee and rising Comex prices as the Federal Reserve’s next meeting is seen leaning towards a rate cut,” said Jateen Trivedi. “Gold is expected to remain volatile but positive, with prices likely to trade in the range of ₹99,500–₹102,500.”
The steep tariffs are expected to hit India’s textiles & apparel, gems & jewellery, marine products, leather & footwear sectors the hardest, given their heavy reliance on the U.S. market. However, the government provided some relief by extending the import duty exemption on cotton until December, supporting the garment industry.
“The steep 50 per cent U.S. tariffs will hit India’s textiles & apparel, gems & jewellery, marine (shrimp), leather & footwear, the hardest, given their heavy reliance on the U.S. market,” noted Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Research at Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd.
Technical analysts pointed to weakening chart patterns. “Technically, the Nifty is showing strong signs of weakness. The index is now trading below its 20-day, 50-day and 100-day EMAs, all of which have started to edge lower,” said Sudeep Shah, Head of Technical Research at SBI Securities. “From a technical perspective, unless the Nifty reclaims its short-term moving averages with strong volume support, the bias is likely to remain negative in the near term.”
Looking ahead, market participants remain cautious about the near-term outlook. “Looking forward, the sentiment is expected to remain cautious with markets likely to remain rangebound as participants wait for more clarity on the India–US trade standoff and the global interest rate outlook,” said Vaibhav Vidwani, Research Analyst at Bonanza. Market watchers will closely monitor whether the government announces relief measures or initiates negotiations to safeguard export-dependent industries, while global developments continue to drive near-term market direction.
Four packets of Maggi noodles were ordered every minute throughout the year.

Flipkart Minutes which launched just a year ago and is now in 19 cities, has put out its annual report ‘Minutes that Move India’. The report decodes what, when and why India orders in the moment. Among the snapshots are that consumers ordered enough milk via Flipkart Minutes to fill six Olympic-sized swimming pools and sold bananas, enough to power an army of minions. Notably, indulgences weren’t forgotten consumers also ordered a staggering 12 million scoops of ice cream, while Maggi noodles continued to comfort Indian consumers with a steady average of four packets ordered every minute throughout the year. There were several strange combinations of orders but the most bizarre belonged to a customer who shopped for aloo bhujia, two gold coins and a mouth freshener.
Personalisation emerged as a key trend, with categories like greeting cards growing by over 60X, wallet-and-belt combos by more than 7.5X, and wall photo frames by nearly 28X across topical occasions such as Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, and so on.

It’s just another Friday night at Nobu on La Cienega Boulevard.
The Los Angeles Nobu is not as flashy as the one in Malibu, where the waves of the Pacific Ocean create a backdrop for the restaurant and Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox were just spotted on a double date. This Nobu, which opened in 2008, several years after its more famous Malibu cousin, is somewhat of a hidden gem on a stretch of La Cienega Boulevard, where black cars once swarmed its valet stand and reservations were elusive. Now, it’s more of a hotbed of furniture and home decor stores. And weeknight dinner reservations are procured with ease.

The main dining room that houses the sushi bar still vibrates with a current of money, celebrity and those who seek it. But, once revered as one of the most stylish rooms in Los Angeles, it now suffers from the aesthetic malaise of an “Asian-themed” chain restaurant in the mid-2000s, its patterned fabric banquettes feeling more dated than retro. The menu, for the most part, is similarly past its prime even if everyone (this writer included) still loves the black cod with miso.
When I learned that this specific location of Nobu was getting a new executive chef, I was intrigued. Sean Tan, originally from Malaysia, has cooked at Nobu Melbourne, Nobu Chicago and overseen Nobu experiences at events like the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells. Would he be introducing new dishes that are only available in Los Angeles? Updating old favorites?

There was nothing noticeably different about the menu during a recent visit, but my server said that the chef had tweaked the Chilean sea bass with jalapeño, a dish that’s been exclusive to the Los Angeles location for about a decade.
The broiled sea bass was topped with a small heap of micro cilantro and a salsa of chopped red and green jalapeño, onion, lemon and olive oil that resembled pico de gallo. Marinated in “jalapeño miso,” it was nearly indistinguishable from the restaurant’s black cod miso, one of the signature dishes that helped catapult founder Nobuyuki Matsuhisa‘s career as the most recognizable sushi chef on the planet. But the sea bass was cooked far past firm, and the marinade, despite the salsa garnish, far too sweet.
While Tan may be running the day-to-day operations, it is only ever Matsuhisa’s name associated with any of the dozens of Nobu restaurants around the world.
The Nobu phenomenon can be traced to the opening of Matsuhisa restaurant in Beverly Hills in 1987. In 1994, actor Robert De Niro famously partnered with the chef to open the first Nobu in New York, and a restaurant empire and hotel brand — with more than 50 locations from Dallas to Dubai — was born.
Matsuhisa’s influence reverberates through every strip mall sushi restaurant in Los Angeles. He is the reason 99.2% of the sushi restaurants across the country have versions of tiradito and all variety of broiled white fish marinated in sweet miso on the menu. With sprigs of cilantro, dots of chile paste and lines of miso powder, the chef recalibrated the way people think about sushi.
“He made sushi chic and he made it the thing everybody wanted to eat,” says Ruth Reichl in the new documentary “Nobu.” Director Matt Tyrnauer’s film is a comprehensive look at Matsuhisa’s humble beginnings and his journey to becoming the face of sushi in America.

It was Matsuhisa who merged Peruvian flavors with classic Japanese technique, and introduced a new style of sushi to the masses.
His black cod with miso and pinwheels of chile-decorated yellowtail continue to be staples at every Nobu. Only now, you might find the versions across the street, down the street and all over town, better.
At Nobu Los Angeles, tiles of saba, hotate and toro all have a uniform flabby texture and a distinct, heady aroma of disinfectant and raw fish. The shari underneath is cold and soft enough to mash with a chopstick.
The tiny fried wonton taco shells are bubbly and crisp but overshadow the diced lobster and Wagyu cradled in the middle.
Umami chicken is bloated with salt, like something you might find in an airline lounge, sliced and splayed over a handful of mushy green beans.
The seaweed hugging my handroll is so tough and chewy, the spicy scallops and rice in the center shoot out the back with every bite. There’s a single piece of baran draped over the top of the handrolls, the same faux clump of grass you might find separating your plastic-clad sushi at a grocery store.

My mind flashes to a scene in the “Nobu” documentary where Matsuhisa is addressing the staff at the Nobu Los Cabos. He repeatedly sends back a dish, unhappy with the inconsistency of the plating. The garnish needs to be uniform. It’s too fine and clumped together. Make it more separate. Overlap the fish.
It is difficult to reconcile the precision demanded by the Matsuhisa on the screen and the plates before me. Maybe the film should be required viewing for anyone contemplating a first-time meal at Nobu. I found myself frustrated on his behalf, the blow of spending an exorbitant amount of money on a less-than-stellar dinner a little less severe. Is it fair to expect a certain level of consistency from a restaurant group that has a presence on five continents in more than two dozen countries?
During meals at Nobu Malibu, Matsuhisa’s famed miso cod has been more supple, evenly cooked and the marinade less cloying. The service more attentive and sharp, and the shari properly seasoned. If you inform your server of a penchant for silver-skinned fish, he might recommend the off-menu kohada.
And at the original Matsuhisa, now nearly 40 years old, I’ve always found the nigiri to be an exemplary version of the genre. And here, the miso cod is nonnegotiable.

Perhaps Tan needs more time to establish himself in the Nobu Los Angeles kitchen, though there are still glimpses of the brilliance Matsuhisa inspired decades ago. The hearts of palm salad with jalapeño dressing is exhilarating the first time you try it, revolutionary in its simplicity and clarity of flavors. The vegetable is shaved into a mountain of tender ribbons over a pale green vinaigrette that hums with chile and citrus.
The restaurant’s interpretation of spicy tuna with crispy rice is a playful, interactive dish that requires diners to dunk squares of crispy rice into a ramekin of spicy tuna. Though the amount of fish is hardly sufficient, the nuggets of rice are at once crunchy and chewy, the perfect vessel for the cool, smooth tuna.
Halved okra are lightly dredged and fried until crisp as potato chips. Los Angeles could be a brighter, better place if there were more plates of fried okra and a little less Brussels sprouts.
Tai sweet shiso with crispy shiitake mushrooms from Nobu Los Angeles.
(Catherine Dzilenski / For The Times)
While Matsuhisa is widely credited as the progenitor of yellowtail sashimi with ponzu and chile, the tai with shiso and fried shiitake mushrooms is the sashimi plate that should grace every table. The slices of tai are fanned out, surrounded by a sharp citrus sauce that gently tightens the flesh. It’s crowded with chopped shiso, like a sweet, minty chimichurri you’ll want to spoon over anything else on the table. And the curls of fried mushrooms over the top have the same smoky, meaty complexity as a pile of bacon.
During my third dinner, I looked around the room to see a family fresh from a graduation wearing orchid leis around their necks, their heads on swivels, scanning the dining room for celebrities. I was reminded that Nobu isn’t just a sushi restaurant. It’s a brand like Louis Vuitton or Mercedes, with the sort of name recognition any company would spend endless amounts of money and maybe commit corporate espionage to achieve. If you stay at a Nobu hotel or dine at Nobu on a cruise ship, it can also be a lifestyle for those who hover comfortably in a certain wealth bracket.
There is no doubt in my mind that Nobu will continue to thrive on vibes, the allure of the name and a handful of dishes Matsuhisa is most known for. Like the Birkin bag and the Chanel 2.55, the Nobu in Los Angeles, Malibu, or wherever else you happen to be in the world, will never go out of style. It also won’t be, and probably shouldn’t be, your favorite sushi restaurant.
Details: Open daily from 5:30 to 10 p.m. Full bar. Valet and street parking.

A scientist from the University of Southampton claims to have solved the notorious Bermuda Triangle mystery.
Situated between Florida, Bermuda and Puerto Rico, this precarious stretch of sea is known for its quickly changing weather patterns, varying sea levels and complicated navigational realities.
The area’s storied ship and plane disappearances have sparked urban legends, earning it the ominous nickname of the Devil’s Triangle.

Oceanographer Dr. Simon Boxall says the disappearances are due to “rough waters,” as he told the Daily Mail.
“There are storms to the south and north, which come together,” he said in a British documentary, Channel 5’s “The Bermuda Triangle Enigma,” which is not available outside the U.K.

“Numerous ships sailed to locate the collier, as she was thought to have been sunk by a German submarine,” states the NMUSN website. “Her wreck has never been found, and the cause of her loss remains unknown.”

Boxall tested the replica to see how it would fare with rouge waves.
Researchers determined the waves could quickly overwhelm the ship due to the vessel’s flat base and large size.

Since large ships need water to stay afloat, if the boat became suspended in such a way, it could “snap in two.”
“[The waves] are steep, they are high — we’ve measured waves in excess of 30 met[ers],” said Boxall in the documentary.
He added, “If that happens, it can sink in a matter of two or three minutes.”

Australian scientist Karl Kruszelnicki has echoed Boxall’s theory.
“The number [of ships and planes] that go missing in the Bermuda Triangle is the same as anywhere in the world on a percentage basis,” he told The Independent in 2017.
He says that human error and poor weather conditions are likely behind the disappearances that have contributed to the superstition associated with the Bermuda Triangle, Fox News Digital previously reported.

As the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) stated in a 2010 report, “There is no evidence that mysterious disappearances occur with any greater frequency in the Bermuda Triangle than in any other large, well-traveled area of the ocean.”

“The U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard contend that there are no supernatural explanations for disasters at sea,” NOAA also noted.
“Their experience suggests that the combined forces of nature and human fallibility outdo even the most incredulous science fiction.”

WIRED Featured Deals
Deals on Tents
REI tents are some of the best deals around, even more so during sales. If you’d like to learn more, see our guide to the best backpacking tents and best car camping tents.

REI’s Base Camp tent is WIRED’s favorite car camping tent. It’s extremely well designed and proved plenty weatherproof in our testing. The traditional dome tent design, with two crossed poles and two side poles, holds up well in wind, and the tent floor is high-quality 150-denier (150D) polyester. There’s loads of storage pockets, double doors, great vents, and huge windows, making it comfortable even in summer heat.
The Wonderland 6 is REI’s replacement for the Kingdom 6 and looks to be, for the most part, very similar. We haven’t tested this one, but my almost 20-year-old Kingdom 6 is still going strong. For the most part, it’s made of the very same ripstop nylon used in the Wonderland. With plenty of mesh, this will have better ventilation than the Base Camp above, but the rainfly doesn’t come as low and the hoop design isn’t quite a strong. For summer camping, though, this is a great option.
The REI Half Dome 2 is the best budget two-person backpacking tent. We’ve toted it on many a backpacking trip and found it to be plenty sturdy, quick to set up, and capable of fitting two people and their gear. It even comes with a footprint (which I never bother with, but it’s nice to have it if you have to deal with prickers or pointy rocks). I really like the color options this year too, which blend in with its surroundings rather than stand out.
The Big Agnes Copper Spur series is our top pick for freestanding ultralight tents. This is a high-quality, well-designed tent that’s lightweight, easy to set up, and roomy enough to be liveable in the backcountry. The “awning” design (with trekking poles or sticks) is a nice extra and the mix of 15D nylon, and 20D ripstop, while to feels fragile, as held up well over time.
I’ve only spent two nights in this tent, but so far it’s my favorite solo freestanding tent. I like the generous amount of mesh at the top, which provides some nice ventilation on warm summer nights and is perfect for falling asleep under the stars when the weather permits. The Osmo fabric continues to live up to the hype, with much less water absorption than nylon tents in rainy weather, and there’s a good amount of room for storing all your stuff. The bikepacking friendly version, with shorter pole segments that fit better on a bike, is also on sale for $390 ($130 off).
Bikepacking is my favorite way to travel these days, and while you don’t have to have any special gear, bikepacking tents, with shorter pole sections, are easier to pack in panniers. They’re also nice when traveling by kayak or motorcycle, and they work just fine for backpacking too. The Sea to Summit Telos TR2 Bikepack tent is otherwise a clone of regular Telos 2-person tent. At 4lbs 9oz for the 2-person version it’s light enough and the floor area of 28.2 square feet is roomy enough for 2 with gear.
Deals on Day-Hiking Packs and Backpacks
Be sure to read through our guide to day-hiking packs. While we haven’t published our guide to ultralight backpacks yet, several of our picks are on sale right now and noted below.

I just started testing this pack this summer as part of an upcoming ultralight backpack guide. It’s very comfortable, carrying a 25-pound load without issue. I haven’t lived out of it for more than a night yet, but so far I like it, and it’s very reasonably priced. Interestingly, there’s a comment on REI saying that you’re better off going with the Flash 55 and just removing the top lid to save some weight. That’ll save you some cash right now, as the Flash 55 is also on sale for $139 ($50 off).
Nemo’s Resolve is a great pack that incorporates a low-waste footprint into the design. It uses solution-dyed fabrics, and eschews straps and buckles in favor of bungees and pull-tabs. This does make adjusting it fussier, but once you’re used to it and have the fit dialed in, it’s not an issue. The Resolve is a comfortable pack. While technically frameless, it feels like it has some structure. and it sits nice and high on your back. At 1 pound, 15 ounces, it’s also pretty light.
The Osprey Talon is perhaps the most tried-and-true day-hiking pack on the market, and for good reason. It’s light and comfortable, and the 33L capacity can swallow a ton of gear and haul it well. This 33L iteration weighs just 2 pounds, 12.5 ounces and sports 100D high-tenacity nylon that’s been coated with a non-PFAS DWR. Annoyingly, there’s no rain cover, but that omission aside, it’s a superb daypack.
Topo Designs makes some of our favorite bags, from the Mountain Cross, which Gear editor Jeremy White says is “best bag in the world”, to the Global Briefcase, which is on our list of the Best Messenger Bags. Neither of these bags, sadly, are currently in the 60 percent markdowns but many others are!
Sleeping Bag Deals
Whether you need a cheap car camping bag, or something more robust for fall and spring trips, we’ve got you covered. Be sure to read our best sleeping bags guide for even more options.

REI’s Magma line of down gear are some of the best deals around. The Magma 15 sleeping bag has long been an affordable bag that’s perfect for shoulder season trips when the temp potentially swing lower than you’re expecting (the comfort rating is 21 F). There’s three lengths and three widths, making it easy to get something that’s perfect for your body, and the 850-fill-power goose down (bluesign-approved) packs down nice and small. If you don’t need the shoulder season coverage the Magma 30 is also on sale for $262 ($87 off), and makes a great summer sleeping bag.
I’ve just started testing this as a budget option for ultralight quilts. So far, I’ve been impressed. Like the sleeping bag version above, this is 95 percent of what you get from far more expensive bags. It’s light (20.3 ounces for the medium), packs down small, includes straps to keep it on your sleeping pad, can be completely unzipped and used like a comforter, or snapped up in a proper footbox on colder nights.
The Boost is a hybrid bag that would work for backpacking, but it can also be adjusted to a semi-retangular shape to make it more comfortable for car camping. There are arm holes, which makes reading in it a bit easier, and you can reach out to open or close the “WarmZip” center zipper, which cinches down the Boost to make it more like a traditional mummy bag.

The “mummy” design of mummy bags is about optimizing for warmth, not comfort. But let’s face it, most of us are not sleeping in situations where our survival is at stake. Therm-a-Rest has addressed this with what it calls W.A.R.M. fit, which stands for “with additional room for multiple” positions. Indeed, this bag is very roomy for a mummy design. I was able to draw my legs up when side-sleeping and spread out considerably more than with most bags. If you toss and turn through the nights and don’t want a quilt-style bag, this would be my top pick.
The Siesta is our favorite sleeping bag for car camping. You really shouldn’t need to spend a lot of money on a sleeping bag for car camping. Should your best efforts to cocoon warmth around you fail, there is, after all, a car to retreat to. That’s why we love the REI Siesta Hooded 20—it’s plenty warm and affordable. The Siesta’s rectangular cut makes it a roomier, more comfortable bag, and the 20-degree rating makes it enough for three-season trips, and unlike most rectangular bags, the Siesta has a hood, which helps on those cold nights. We also like that you can zip two Siestas together.
The Zenbivy Bed (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is hands-down the most comfortable backcountry sleeping experience I’ve ever had. It wouldn’t be my top pick for extreme situations, but so long as your expected temperatures fit in Zenbivy’s range (the comfort rating is 35 degrees Fahrenheit), it doesn’t get more comfortable than this. The Zenbivy isn’t just a sleeping bag. It’s a sheet, hood, and quilt-style bag that can be combined in various ways.
Deals on Sleeping Pads
Good sleep in the backcountry can be frustratingly elusive, but one good place to start is with a quality sleeping pad. Whether you’re looking for the an ultralight, ultraminimal packing pad or a plush 4-inch-thick car-camping behemoth, there’s deals on both right now.

This is our favorite all-around backpacking sleeping pad. The Tensor All-Season hits all the sweet spots. It weighs an acceptably light 18.2 ounces, provides a good 3 inches of padding, and has an R rating of 5.4. That works out to the best padding and R rating for the weight. It’s also mercifully quiet—none of that annoying crunching noise every time you roll over.
If you’re gearing up for a winter trip, this is a good deal on a great winter sleeping pad. The Tensor Extreme Conditions has the highest R value of any pad we’ve tested, yet somehow manages to pack down to about the size of a Nalgene water bottle and weighs just 21 ounces (587 g). It’s one thing to claim an R value in lab tests though—a subzero night on the snow in a Wisconsin winter was the real test. This pad performed extremely well. Paired with a Z-Rest (see below) and a –10F sleeping bag, it kept me toasty down to 4 degrees Fahrenheit.

The Z-Lite Sol weighs next to nothing (10 ounces for the small), folds up small enough to lash to the outside of any pack, and can double as a chair, extra padding on cold nights, table, you name it. I am too old and too soft to be the sort of ultra-minimalist who gets by with just a Z-Lite for sleeping, but I still have one around on almost every backpacking trip I take.
Sea to Summit’s Ether Light XT is a 4-inch thick ultralight sleeping pad—the ever-popular Therm-a-rest X-Lite is only 3—making it the best ultralight option for side sleepers. I also like the baffle design better than the Therm-a-rest as well, and it seems to be a little more durable. Note that this is an REI Outlet deal; the XT has been replaced by a newer model.
The big fat camping pad that started the trend of big fat camping pads, the Megamat is a revelation. Trust me, you have no idea how comfortable tent camping can be until you sleep on a Megamat (or a MondoKing, see below). The 4-inch-thick Exped MegaMat is soft and surprisingly firm thanks to the closed-cell foam inside it, which relieves pressure and feels about as close to the mattress in your bedroom as you’re going to get in the woods.
When I sold my Jeep I had to give up my overlanding dreams and return to being a mere camper, but this Megamat, which cuts in to fit around the wheel wells of an SUV, has brought some of those overlanding dreams back to life. I throw this in the back of my wife’s Rav4, and while it’s not a perfect fit (check Exped to see which vehicles are supported), it’s close enough that I can get a good night’s sleep in the car.
If you get a Megamat, get this pump to go with it. I love this pump not so much for the inflating (though that is nice too, it speeds things up), but for the deflating. You can get all the air out and the mattress back in its stuff sack in no time with this thing. It’s well worth the money, especially on sale.
Deals on Stoves and Camp Gear
We’ve filtered through all the camping gear deals to highlight our favorite camp stoves, water filters, and more.

REI sales are the time to grab this upgrade stove. Sure, the basic version below gets the job done, but the cast iron burners of the Cascade are so much nicer and more durable. The griddle plate is also handy, perfect for cranking out pancakes. My only gripe is that I wish there were an option to get two griddles, as I find the grill not nearly as useful.
Walk around any campground in America and you’ll likely see dozens of these, for good reason. They’re easy to use, last a long time, and aren’t all that expensive. The 10,000-BTU burners are plenty to cook on just about any pan you have (I use cast iron pans on mine), and the electronic ignition means you don’t have to keep track of a lighter.
The MSR PocketRocket 2 is our top pick isopro backpacking stove for most people. It’s lightweight (2.6 ounces) but has wide enough arms to support just about any one- or two-person pot. It’s simple to use, even while wearing gloves, and it’s efficient—at sea level (OK, technically 947 feet), it boiled 1 liter of water in 3 minutes, 47 seconds. You can even get it to simmer, though the flame radius is small, so fancier cooking isn’t easy. See our next pick if that’s your goal.
If you want to cook in the backcountry, like legitimately cook with ingredients, not rehydrating food, the best stove I’ve tested is the Firebox Nano with the gas burner and diffusion plate. The Firebox Nano is a twig stove, so you have that option as well (I am fortunate to live somewhere I can use this feature), but with summer burn bans in many places, it’s really the gas burner and diffusion plate that are the centerpiece here. Together, they spread out the flame enough that cooking on a 10-inch pan is pretty much like cooking on my stove at home. This is a nearly miraculous achievement for a stove setup this small and light (8 ounces).
This is a backpacking must-have for me. It turns cleanup from a tedious chore to a couple of seconds’ work. I’ve even perfected cleaning burnt pans with it: Boil water in the pan to loosen the burnt bits and scrape them out. It’s not a massive savings, but you might as well grab one while it’s a couple bucks cheaper.
The word “ultralight” means different things to different people, and this pot may or may not qualify for you, but if you’re cooking for a group, this 3-liter pot is about as light as it gets. This is my go-to pot for family backpacking trips. The hard-anodized aluminum is sturdy and provides good heat transfer. The ceramic nonstick coating makes for easy cleanup (especially paired with the GSI scraper below). You can also nest the 2L version ($51) inside this one for more cooking options on the trail. If you want to go nuts with it, I haven’t tried it, but you can theoretically also nest the 1.3L version ($45) inside the 2L.

The MSR Gravity Aitoflow filter is a must-have for backpacking with a group. All you have to do with this filter is scoop up 10 liters of water in the dirty water bag, attach the hose, connect your water bottle, and sit back and relax. The filter is good enough to keep you safe from all the usual protozoa and bacteria, and the flow rate is a solid 1.5 liters per minute when the filter is clean.
The MSR Guardian is our pick for trips with sketchy water sources because it filters down to 0.02 microns, which will remove even viruses. It is heavy at 22 oz. (617 g), and may be overkill for trips in the US, but it’s a great option for overseas. I really like that it’s designed to be self-cleaning, which makes field maintenance incredibly easy, and that it screws right onto a Nalgene bottle. Also, because it’s a pump filter it’s very fast, you can crank out a couple of liters in hardly any time at all. The gravity fed version is also on sale for $232 ($78 off).

If you want to bring a chair backpacking, this is the one to get. It’s just about the lightest on the market at 18 ounces, and it packs down nice and small. Nemo also solved the main problem with all pole chairs: The included base pad keeps it from sinking in soft ground.
The thing to keep in mind when you shop REI brand gear is the company’s basic proposition: you get 90 percent of the designer item, for 70 percent of the price. It’s a strategy that works quite well and has generated some really great, affordable gear. This chair is a good example of that. It’s not as nice as the Nemo above, but it’s still comfortable (it does wobble a little, side to side when you move) and nearly half the price.
This camp chair is the coziest way to hang out around the fire. It is somewhat huge, heavy, and awkward to fold up and carry, but so long as you have room for it in your vehicle, there’s no better way to relax under the stars with your loved ones.
I’ve noticed that, when trying to lighten their load with a smaller, lighterweight backpack, people then struggle to fit all their gear. The answer for sleeping bags and clothing is this compression stuff sack, which smashes anything soft down to about half the size of the same item in a regular stuff sack. This works well with sleeping bags and clothing, especially puffer jackets, but also fleece and merino wool.
Deals on Outdoor Apparel
Looking for Labor Day deals on new rain gear or hiking clothes? We’ve got you covered with guides to the best merino wool t-shirts and clothing, best rain jackets, and best puffer jackets.

Patagonia’s Nano Puff series has been a hit since it launched years ago. If you want a technical midlayer that you can also wear around town, this is the jacket to get. The fill is synthetic, but it’s impressively warm and manages to stuff down almost like a down jacket.
Mammut’s 800-fill-power down Broad Peak IN hoodie stuffs down remarkably small (into its own pocket), weighs little for the warmth it provides, making it a good all-around puffer. The fill weight is 4 ounces, which I think is the perfect amount of down those active winter days with temps in the 20- to 30-degree range. It’s also light enough (13.5oz) to bring for cool evenings and mornings during shoulder season trips.
When the weather gets down well below freezing, and the wind makes your cheeks burn, this is the jacket I turn to. With a base layer at the bottom, wool sweater over that, then this jacket, I was toasty warm walking in the early morning chill of winter (usually –10 Fahrenheit in January). If you’re familiar with Rab (which is a much bigger brand in Europe), this replaces the Axion Pro. The shell is lightweight (20D) Pertex ripstop nylon that’s nicely windproof and water-resistant.

The best budget rain jacket you can buy, REI’s Rainier Jacket is impressively waterproof and reasonably long-lasting for $70. The durable water repellent (DWR) is PFAS-free, but still pretty good. You also get taped seams and an adjustable hood, two nice features you generally don’t find in jackets this cheap.
Arc’teryx’s Beta AR rain jacket is one of the burliest rain jackets I’ve tested. The Beta AR uses 40D fabric for most of the face, with reinforced 80D patches in high wear areas, all of it with Gore-Tex Pro 3L membrane. It’s been the only Gore-Tex jacket I’ve tested that hasn’t wetted out yet, and the pit zips provide excellent ventilation. At 1 lb. 0.3 oz. it’s not the lightest jacket out there, but you’d be hard pressed to find anything else this durable at this weight.
REI’s Sahara Shade Hoodie offers UPF 50+ fabric (a polyester and spandex blend) to protect you from that high-altitude sun (or any sun). It’s soft and stretchy, so you have a good range of movement, and there are thumbholes in the sleeves to keep them from riding up and exposing your arms. The three-panel hood has a drawstring you can use the cinch it down and keep your neck covered as well.

You can’t go wrong with a pair of Darn Tough merino wool socks. There’s a bunch of styles and colors to choose from, but remember to go with more merino than not if you’re hoping to get several days out of them. Anything over 30 percent nylon starts to smell quickly in my testing.
The awesome wool shirt from Fjällräven is about as northwoods as it gets. It’s also nice and warm and soft, at least on the inside; my kids do not like the outside.
Paddleboard and Kayak Deals

This is my favorite paddleboard for lazy days at the lake. The LowRider Aero is large and stable, making it great for beginners. It’s surprisingly nimble and easy to steer too, with very good tracking ability. I also love the two-in-one kayak/SUP hybrid design, which means you can turn it into a full fishing rig with Bote’s various add-ons.
Oru’s foldable kayaks are genius—all the boat, none of the size. The Lake is light, reasonably fast, and the cheapest way to get into the world of folding kayaks. As with all Oru’s offerings, the Lake folds origami-style into a roughly 30-inch square that’s just 15 inches deep—small enough to fit in a car trunk or hall closet.
Deals on Bikepacking Gear
If you’ve got backpacking gear, and a bike, you can go bikepacking. All you need is a way to strap your backpacking gear to your bike. Below are some deals on our favorite racks and panniers to help you get started bikepacking.
Courtesy of REI
This nearly universal rack is easy to get on and off thanks to the quick release system. Thanks to testing bike I probably move racks more than most people, but it’s still nice to have a rack that’s easy to take off when you don’t need it. I clips into M5 or M6 mounts, but you can add a Ortlieb Thru-Axle M6 Connector (also on sale) to mount it directly to the thru axle if you don’t have any other ways to attach it.
These waterproof panniers pair well with the Quick-Rack above, though they are small enough to mount on your forks if you aren’t doing anything too technical. These have a combined capacity of 29L though they are on the shallow side at about 13-inches deep (that’s where bikepacking tents with shorter pole section come in handy. These are rated IP64 which makes them dustproof and waterproof against splash water. If you want something bigger, and completely waterproof, Ortlieb’s justly popular 20L Back Roller Panniers are also on sale for $150 ($50 off) for a pair.
I’ll be honest, I’d love to have a pair of Tailfin’s 5L fork packs, but they’re out of my budget so I get by with these Ortlieb fork packs. They’re slightly bigger than the Tailfin bags, and haul my gear just as capably, so I don’t know why I want anything else. They’re waterproof, lightweight, and swallow an impressive amount of gear and food for a 5.8L bag.
DODACI prehrani često se koriste s namjerom da poboljšaju zdravlje, no stručnjaci upozoravaju da neki od njih mogu imati suprotan učinak na mokraćni mjehur. Ako se uzimaju u previsokim dozama ili bez liječničkog nadzora, mogu izazvati učestalo mokrenje, nelagodu ili čak povećati rizik od infekcija. Dakle, prema mišljenju stručnjaka, ovo su tri dodatka koja mogu negativno utjecati na zdravlje mokraćnog sustava.
Vitamin C u visokim dozama
Vitamin C važan je za imunološki sustav, ali prevelike količine mogu biti štetne. “Uzimanje previše, posebno više od 2000 miligrama dnevno, izazvat će upalu stijenke mjehura i učestalu potrebu za mokrenjem”, rekao je dr. Michael Lahey za SheFinds. Preporučuje pridržavanje preporučenog dnevnog unosa i naglašava da je najbolje osigurati vitamin C hranom, poput jagoda, paprika i naranči.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Dodaci na bazi kofeina
Mnogi suplementi za energiju i mršavljenje sadrže kofein, ali mogu izazvati probleme. “Ovi dodaci mogu iritirati mjehur i potaknuti češće mokrenje”, upozorava dr. Lahey, dodajući da povećavaju i hitnost mokrenja. Kao blažu alternativu preporučuje manje količine zelenog čaja ili čaja od kamilice umjesto kofeinskih tableta i dodataka. Također savjetuje ograničen unos kave i gaziranih pića s kofeinom.
Visoke doze cinka
Cink je važan za imunitet i zacjeljivanje rana, no prevelike doze mogu pogoršati simptome vezane uz mjehur. Kako navodi The Healthy, visoke doze dodataka cinka povezane su s većom učestalošću mokraćnih tegoba i nelagode, pa čak i s češćim posjetima bolnici zbog komplikacija.
Stručnjaci naglašavaju da je najbolje osigurati cink kroz hranu – meso, orašaste plodove i mahunarke – te ne prelaziti preporučeni dnevni unos osim ako to nije propisao liječnik.

ČAK I NAJPOSLUŠNIJI psi ponekad mogu biti tvrdoglavi, a zlatni retriveri, poznati po svojoj razigranoj naravi i velikoj osobnosti, pravi su primjer toga. Jedan takav tvrdoglav, ali neodoljivo simpatičan pas je devetogodišnji Hubert, čija je pobuna protiv povratka iz šetnje postala viralni hit, piše dogtime.com.
Šetnja još nije gotova
Na popularnoj snimci na Instagramu, koja je skupila više od 300.000 pregleda, vidi se Hubert kako odlučno sjedi uz rub ceste, jasno dajući do znanja da za njega šetnja nije ni blizu gotova. Njegova vlasnica nježno pokušava povući povodac, no Hubert se ne pomiče ni milimetra.

Situaciju dodatno humorističnom čini i tekst koji prati video: “Mislite da vaše dijete ima probleme s ponašanjem? Pokušajte reći svom zlatnom retriveru da je vrijeme za povratak kući iz šetnje.”
Video je izazvao lavinu reakcija, a brojni vlasnici zlatnih retrivera u komentarima su podijelili slična iskustva sa svojim tvrdoglavim ljubimcima. Jedan od korisnika se našalio: “Do 9. godine mogu raditi što god žele.”

GDJE god se pojavi Katie Holmes, tu je i najnovija “it” torba. Poznata po svom besprijekornom stilu, glumica je ponovno postavila trendove za nadolazeću sezonu, a ovoga puta u središtu pozornosti našao se jedan poseban modni dodatak.
Fotografirana na ulicama New Yorka, Holmes je otkrila svoj novi modni adut za jesen. Glumica, redateljica i spisateljica viđena je s osvježenom verzijom klasika: Max Mara Whitney Bag 7 u elegantnoj čokoladno smeđoj nijansi, piše Vogue.
Model dolazi iz brenda kojem Holmes rado pribjegava i kada je riječ o odjeći i kada je riječ o dodacima. Riječ je o moderniziranoj verziji suradnje iz 2015. s Renzo Piano Building Workshopom, prvotno stvorenoj u čast otvaranja Whitney muzeja u New Yorku.
Dizajn je inspiriran fasadom i proporcijama muzeja, a ističe se detaljnim panelima, podstavom od brušene kože i praktičnim remenom za rame – savršenim za svakodnevni život u pokretu na njujorškim ulicama. Sve u svemu, potpuno u stilu Katie Holmes.
Ležerna kombinacija za gradske ulice
Ostatak svog izgleda Holmes je stilizirala ležerno i šik. Nosila je široki sivi džemper s detaljima rupica i podvrnutim rukavima, svijetloplave traperice popularnog barrel kroja, crne balerinke i velike sunčane naočale u boji burgundca.
Poput mnogih slavnih osoba, uključujući Kendall Jenner, ni Holmes još nije spremna oprostiti se od udobnih balerinki, vješto ih uklopivši iz ljetne u svoju jesensku garderobu. Ovaj izgled savršeno utjelovljuje njezin prepoznatljiv, ležerno cool, downtown stil.

Impresivna kolekcija torbica
Whitney je samo najnoviji dodatak njezinoj već impresivnoj kolekciji. Među torbama koje često nosi nalaze se klasična prošivena Chanel 19 Flap, elegantna gradska torba Perriand brenda Métier London, trapezoidna Akris Ai za rame te kultna Celine Triomphe. Velika je i obožavateljica modela brendova Manu Atelier i Khaite.
Nedavno je Holmes viđena i s originalnom Chloé Paddington torbom, modelom koji se ponovno vraća na scenu dok boho stil i dalje ostaje u trendu. Ipak, torba Whitney razuman je i profinjen odabir za jesen, u vječno popularnoj nijansi čokoladno smeđe.
Nije jedina slavna obožavateljica ovog modela
Vrijedi istaknuti da Holmes nije jedina slavna obožavateljica ovog modela. Ona je prošetala novu, osvježenu verziju, dok su originalni modeli već ranije osvojili zvijezde.
Gigi Hadid je 2015. više puta viđena s malim modelom 4, najčešće u crnoj varijanti, a dvije godine kasnije Bella Hadid odabrala je veći model 6 u nijansi Natural tan, usklađen sa zlatnim odijelom. Sve to potvrđuje da je Whitney torba i dalje jedan od najsnažnijih statusnih simbola među zvijezdama.

Apple’s “Awe Dropping” event, scheduled for 9 September 2025, will take centre stage for the iPhone 17 lineup reveal. But several reports suggest the company may unveil a wider array of products, spanning wearables, audio devices, accessories, and potentially more. Here’s what’s expected at the keynote.
Apple Watch refresh
Sources indicate Apple will introduce the Apple Watch Series 11, along with the Apple Watch Ultra 3 and Apple Watch SE 3. These updates continue Apple’s pattern of debuting new smartwatch models at its September iPhone events. Features rumoured include blood-pressure monitoring and sleep-apnoea detection.
AirPods Pro 3
The next generation of AirPods Pro is widely expected to appear. Reports point to enhancements in health tracking and improved audio performance.
AirTag 2
A potential surprise at this year’s event is the long-awaited AirTag 2. According to 9to5Mac, the new tracker could include extended range, stronger privacy features, and a new ultra-wideband chip.
Accessories – cases and straps
Leaked renders suggest Apple may also launch new phone cases—specifically “TechWoven” bumper cases for the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air, complete with a possible crossbody strap for convenience.
Unlikely announcements
Despite speculation, some products are unlikely to debut at the September event. According to 9to5Mac, new Macs (M5 models), a HomePod Touch, and successors to AirPods Max or AirPods 4 are expected to arrive later in the year or early 2026.
What this means for Apple’s lineup
The upcoming event appears poised to offer major hardware updates across multiple categories, with a strong focus on the iPhone 17 resolutions but also significant refreshes in wearables and accessories. AirPods and AirTags are likely to bolster Apple’s ecosystem, while new cases and straps indicate interest in practical add-ons. However, Macs and larger ecosystem devices seem reserved for future announcements.
“Mother”, a film depicting Mother Teresa as a sometimes ruthless figure struggling to reconcile her views on motherhood and abortion, opened the secondary Orizzonti section.
Eyes were set to quickly turn to Hollywood’s favourite leading man, Clooney, who stepped off a water taxi in Venice with his wife Amal on Tuesday.
On Thursday, he will be seen in the premiere of Netflix-produced comedy “Jay Kelly”, directed by Noah Baumbach, in which he plays a top Hollywood actor with an identity crisis.
On the same night is the premiere of sci-fi comedy “Bugonia” from Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos, which stars Emma Stone as a pharmaceutical executive kidnapped by people who mistake her for an alien.
Roberts, meanwhile, will appear at Venice for the first time on Friday in the out-of-competition cancel-culture drama “After the Hunt”, from Italy’s Luca Guadagnino.
Winners of the festival’s prestigious Golden Bear top prize often go on to Oscar glory, such as “Nomadland” or “Joker” in previous years.

United Aerospace Maintenance Company (UAMCO) has selected Ramco Systems to implement its next-generation aviation software platform, the companies announced on Wednesday. The Cyprus-based aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul provider will use Ramco’s integrated solution to streamline engine maintenance operations and materials management.
UAMCO, founded in 2022, specialises in MRO services for LEAP engines, including CFM International SA LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B models. The partnership positions the company to enhance its role in the global open MRO ecosystem through improved operational efficiency and workflow management.
The Ramco Aviation Software deployment will provide UAMCO with modules covering engineering, maintenance, supply chain, MRO sales, employee management, safety, quality, compliance and finance. The platform enables engine maintenance operations down to piece part levels while offering 360-degree visibility into costs and revenues.
To improve resource management
“Ramco Aviation Software emerged the clear choice, thanks to its comprehensive maintenance and materials management capabilities,” said John Savvides, CEO of UAMCO. The company expects the implementation to improve resource management and customer engagement while enabling paperless operations through mobile apps and integrated portals.
Chennai-based Ramco Systems serves over 800 customers globally with its cloud and mobile-based enterprise software. The aviation software platform currently manages 4,000+ aircraft for 90+ aviation organisations worldwide, including airlines, third-party MROs and defense organizations.
Business partner AiAppsData facilitated the engagement between the two companies.
The shares of Ramco Systems ended today on the NSE at ₹427.20 down by ₹2.80 or 0.65 per cent.

Archaeologists in Central Europe recently uncovered an ancient grave – reopened not by modern looters, but by medieval Poles over 1,000 years ago.
The excavation took place at the Nowy Chorów cemetery in northern Poland. The findings were published in the journal Antiquity on June 23.
Known as Grave 7, the 11th-century burial appeared to belong to an elite individual. It still contained high-quality artifacts, including a yew wood bucket with iron fittings.
MEDIEVAL KNIGHT’S TOMB DISCOVERED BENEATH FORMER ICE CREAM PARLOR IN POLAND: ‘VERY RARE’
Sławomir Wadyl, an archaeologist at the University of Warsaw, told Fox News Digital that “nearly everything about this project has been surprising.”
An iron spearhead with preserved textile fragments was also found – possibly remnants of a banner or ceremonial flag known as a standard.

“We had little precedent to guide our expectations, and what we found exceeded them,” Wadyl also said.
Archaeologists found that some graves were reopened within a generation, with cremated remains laid directly over emptied burials – likely part of ritual reuse rather than robbery.
“It wasn’t a case of medieval or modern looters stumbling upon an ancient grave centuries later,” Wadyl noted.
VIKING-ERA BURIAL SITE WITH ELITE FAMILY TREASURES AND GIFTS DISCOVERED, PLUS AN ‘UNUSUAL CASKET’
“It was part of unfolding local history.”
The archaeologist said that reopening graves was common in the 11th century, but that it “wasn’t always about stealing valuables.”
Archaeologists discovered rare textile remains clinging to a spearhead (seen at left), an unusual survival in early medieval graves.(Sławomir Wadyl; Nowy Chorów Project)
“Sometimes graves were disturbed to remove objects, possibly for reuse, ritual reasons, or even as acts of social or religious rejection,” Wadyl observed.
“In other cases – like at Nowy Chorów – the bodies themselves were exhumed and cremated after burial, suggesting a deeper ritual significance.”
He added, “This may have been done to ‘correct’ burial practices as beliefs changed, or to assist the deceased in reaching the afterlife.”

The burials incorporated both Christian and pagan rituals, shedding new insights on a time of dramatic transition in European history.
Wadyl noted that while the east–west grave orientation and modest grave goods suggest Christian influence, the bodies were aligned with their heads, not feet, to the east — an unusual detail.
Features like cremation, symbolic grave markers and stone constructions point to pagan traditions.
Researchers believe some graves were reopened by the original community, not by later looters or outsiders.(Sławomir Wadyl; Nowy Chorów Project)
This blending of beliefs, Wadyl said, was “one of the most fascinating aspects of this project.”
“In short, these were not fully Christian or fully pagan burials,” he said. “They represent a blended, transitional funerary tradition, which is why this cemetery is so significant.”
“The past is full of negotiation, resistance and adaptation.”
He added, “It’s about a community living through a time of profound change – the shift from pagan to Christian belief, from tribal structures to early states, from old traditions to new identities.”

Next steps include DNA analysis to identify kinship patterns, Wadyl said — as well as “looking deeper into the blend of Christian and pre-Christian ritual practices.”
He and his team also identified more than 120 similar grave sites across Pomerania, thanks to LiDAR mapping – opening the door to further study.

“This discovery reminds us that history isn’t always neat,” Wadyl concluded.
“The past is full of negotiation, resistance and adaptation.”

“For us, it’s a chance to give voice to those long-forgotten people, and to better understand how cultural transformation really happens.”
However, Camera Coach—which launches in a preview (sort of like a beta)—has a Get Inspired button that uses generative AI to deliver some photos it thinks you might like to try and mimic. These photos are often quite a bit different from the originally scanned image, and I found these less helpful. I think Camera Coach is a great way to teach someone about their phone’s camera capabilities, because most people barely scratch the surface, but I don’t think this generative add-on was really necessary.
Then there’s Pro Res Zoom, which is conflicting. On the Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL, you can digitally zoom in anywhere from 30X to 100X, and the phone runs through more than 200 frames, blending images, and using generative AI to fill in the details. The results are spectacular. Take a look at the image of the Chrysler building in Manhattan, which I captured from Greenpoint, Brooklyn, across the water at 100X zoom. I’ve compared the image with real photos of the Chrysler building, and the results match up. It still leaves a weird taste in my mouth. The composition is mine, but a part of me feels like it isn’t my photo. (Note: Google says it’s not designed to work on people.)

Lastly, there’s video capture. Google has made strides over the years in improving the video output of its phones, but it has largely started relying on Video Boost. Once enabled, this sends your footage to the cloud for processing, making the clips brighter, sharper, more colorful, and better stabilized. (It’s exclusive to the Pro models.)
The videos I’ve shot in the past week do genuinely look great once they’ve been put through the Video Boost ringer, but I still find the iPhone delivers better native footage, with better stabilization. You also have to account for the fact that some of these boosted videoclips arrived the next day for me (though you still have access to the original). It’s a smart solution, but I’d like to see Google improve the native video capture. Case in point: The Galaxy S25’s video footage was brighter, less grainy, and better stabilized than the Pixel 10’s.

Finally, on to the software. It’s probably not a coincidence, but both Google and Apple redesigned their operating systems this year, and I think Google’s Material 3 Expressive design language came out on top. It’s bubbly, colorful, fun, and playful. Apple’s Liquid Glass feels a bit more stale to me.
VRIJEME večere moglo bi biti ključno za uspješan početak dana i redovitu jutarnju probavu. Ako se mučite s odlaskom na toalet ujutro, stručnjaci za probavno zdravlje savjetuju da zadnji obrok pojedete otprilike tri sata prije spavanja. Time tijelu dajete dovoljno vremena da probavi hranu i uskladi se s prirodnim tjelesnim ritmovima, piše EatingWell.
Za mnoge je jutarnje pražnjenje crijeva savršen početak dana. Osjećate se lakše, rasterećenije i spremni ste za nove izazove bez brige o tome kada će priroda pozvati. Iako odlazak na toalet ujutro nije nužnost, donosi određene prednosti. “Jutra su pogodna jer je vaše tijelo prirodno spremno za eliminaciju nakon buđenja i jela te može uspostaviti lijep ritam ‘jednom i gotovo’ prije nego što dan postane užurban”, kaže gastroenterolog dr. Michael Bass.
Zašto je važno večerati tri sata prije spavanja?
Vaš probavni sustav najaktivniji je tijekom dana, a navečer se prirodno usporava. “Ako večeru završite najmanje dva do tri sata prije spavanja, dajete svom tijelu dovoljno vremena za probavu tako da do jutra debelo crijevo bude spremno pokrenuti stvari”, objašnjava Bass.
Ovaj razmak omogućuje crijevima da se usredotoče na obradu hrane dok ste budni, umjesto da se muče s probavom dok spavate, što može rezultirati lakšom i predvidljivijom stolicom sljedećeg jutra.
Uspostavljanje rutine za crijeva
Naša crijeva, baš kao i mozak, vole rutinu. Konzumiranje večere otprilike u isto vrijeme svake večeri pomaže “trenirati” probavni sustav da slijedi redovit obrazac.

“Tijelo napreduje na ritmu i obrascima više nego na izoliranim događajima, stoga je najvažnije usredotočiti se na vrijeme spavanja i buđenja, obrasce obroka, kretanje i adekvatnu hidrataciju”, ističe Stacey Collins, dijetetičarka specijalizirana za gastrointestinalno zdravlje. Kada se tijelo navikne na dosljedan unos hrane, obično reagira na isti način, često jutarnjim odlaskom na toalet.
Usklađivanje s prirodnim ritmovima
Poput ciklusa spavanja i budnosti, i probava slijedi unutarnji 24-satni sat poznat kao cirkadijalni ritam. “Tijelo je obično pripremljeno za jutarnju stolicu zbog promjena kortizola s prirodnim cirkadijalnim ritmom tijela”, kaže Collins.
Ranijom večerom usklađujete vrijeme obroka s prirodnim vrhuncem probavne aktivnosti, što može značiti manje nadutosti noću i veće šanse za pravovremeni odlazak na toalet nakon doručka.

PSI SU POZNATI po svojoj tvrdoglavosti, pogotovo kada misle da nešto propuštaju, bilo da se radi o poslastici, maženju ili dragocjenom mjestu na kauču. Upravo to je dokazao engleski buldog Marshall, čija je preslatka rasprava s vlasnicom postala viralni hit. Marshall strpljivo čeka da mu se mama smiluje i pusti ga na kauč, no njezin razlog zašto to ne može učiniti nasmijao je internet do suza, piše Pet Helpful.
U videu, koji je najbolje pogledati s uključenim zvukom, vlasnica pokušava Marshallu na razuman i iskren način objasniti zašto ne smije sjesti na kauč. Međutim, sudeći po njegovom upornom gunđanju i prigovaranju, čini se da ga njezini argumenti nimalo ne zanimaju.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Njegovo je negodovanje toliko simpatično da su mnogi priznali kako su video pogledali nekoliko puta. Potpuno je jasno da Marshall ne prihvaća “ne” kao odgovor i uvjeren je da bi se, samo da mu se pruži prilika, nekako uspio ugurati pored svoje vlasnice.
Komentari otkrili što je Marshall stvarno mislio
Komentari ispod objave jednako su zabavni kao i sam video. Neki korisnici dali su svoje interpretacije Marshallovih misli. “Vrijeme je za veći kauč!”, poručio je jedan komentator. “Kako možeš reći ne tom licu!?”, upitao je drugi. Mnoge je nasmijala i duhovita usporedba s Titanicom: “Rose je isto rekla Jacku. Pomakni se i bit će mjesta!”

The highly anticipated launch of the iOS 26 operating system by Apple next month, besides the iPhone 17 series, might serve as a major roadblock for US President Donald Trump and the Republican Party ahead of the midterms. Several Republicans believe that the next month’s iPhone update will disproportionately put the brakes on conservative fundraising as well as their voter outreach efforts. This might echo the past controversies surrounding Big Tech, which earlier targeted the voters of the GOP across the United States, as per Fox News.
iOS 26: What to expect?
Ahead of the operating system’s public release next month, Apple recently came out with iOS 26 Developer Beta 8 for iPhone, which was followed by the Public Beta 5 update.
Apart from the several updates that Apple will bring through iOS 26, such as a new design and improvements to the apps, the Cupertino tech giant is also updating its text filtration system.
Officials associated with Launchpad Strategies and its parent company, American Made Media Company, told Fox News Digital that the updated system siphons text messages that people receive on their devices from unknown numbers with no chat history to the recipient into another message folder. This will not show any alert to the recipient.

On the other hand, recipients will continue to get alerts regarding text messages from known numbers, which are saved on the person’s device. These will feature in the usual text application only.
Sean Dollman, founding partner of American Made Media Company, told Fox News Digital that it is not surprising to see Big Tech trying to “stop” the US President and other Republicans from getting in touch with people “because they’ve tried every other method to interfere already”.
“Big Tech has suppressed him, suspended him, and banned him outright. And now they’re trying to make it so he can’t text anybody either. But MAGA won’t be stopped, and MAGA will always find a way,” Dollman told the news outlet.
During the 2024 US presidential election, Launchpad Strategies worked as the Trump campaign’s digital firm that looked after the online advertising and consulting. It continues to work as a “full-service Republican digital agency dedicated to helping campaigns win,” as per its official website.
In total, Launchpad managed to raise $509 million in funds, besides the additional amount of $18 million from various clients.
Is iOS 26 update a problem for Republicans?
The fundraisers for the Trump campaign have stated that the upcoming iPhone update is expected to impact the election cycles, with text messages related to voter registration and campaign rallies getting added to the new messages folder.
This comes ahead of the midterms, where the Democrats are aiming to take back control of the House and Senate from the Republicans.
During the 2024 US presidential election, data showed that the Republican Party benefited from the text campaigns and remained two-to-one ahead of the rival Democrats.
Earlier, a report by Punchbowl News claimed that the National Republican Senate Committee had sent out an internal memo in July this year that raised alarm over the next iOS update. It stated that this might cost the Republicans over $25 million in revenue.
FAQs
When will the Apple event take place?
Apple will hold the event, marking the introduction of the iPhone 17 series, at the Steve Jobs Theatre in Cupertino on September 9.
Is iOS 26 coming out next month?
Yes, the operating system is expected to be out in September.
How much revenue might Republicans lose with the launch of iOS 26?
In a July memo, the National Republican Senate Committee suggested that the next iOS update might cost them over $25 million in revenue.

Future Consumer Ltd, the FMCG company owned by debt-ridden Future Group, faces an insolvency plea filed before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT).
Resurgent India Special Situations Fund had moved the Mumbai bench of the NCLT, filing an application to initiate insolvency proceedings against Future Consumer, claiming defaults.
Confirming the development, Future Consumer in a regulatory filing earlier this week said: “The company would be making appropriate representation in the matter”.
According to details available on the NCLT portal, the insolvency plea was filed on August 20, 2025, and is yet to be listed before any bench for hearing.
Resurgent India Special Situations Fund was launched by Resurgent India, a Sebi-registered Category I merchant banker and investment bank.
Liquidity crunch and default
In the June quarter results, FCL had informed that it is facing a “significant liquidity crunch”, which has impacted the company’s operations.
Moreover, it had defaulted on payment of interest/repayment of principal amount on loans from banks, financial institutions, and unlisted debt securities.
As of June 2025, the total debt servicing obligations due, including interest, were Rs 558.73 crore.
It was part of the 19 group companies operating in retail, wholesale, logistics and warehousing segments, which were supposed to be transferred to Reliance Retail under a Rs 24,713 crore deal announced in August 2020.
South Indian Bank’s Onam film makes a heartfelt call to every Malayali, wherever they are, to come home for Onam. The joyous film, which shows a girl somehow making it to her family home in Kerala in the nick of time for the festival, in the wee hours of night, and then the fun preparations for the sadya with cousins, aunts, uncles all chipping in has a simple premise: “Best returns come from the relationships we invest in”. “When it comes to relationships, Onam is Malayali’s biggest fixed deposit. We looked into our own lives and families and thus was born this endearing musical punctuated by real conversations as ambient sounds, “ explains Paul Philip, Business Head, Human Stories. The film was written and produced by Aiswarya Suresh and directed by Brijith Bkv of First Picture Show Company.
As European cities continue to struggle with surging tourist numbers, Italian farmers have taken matters into their own hands.
Locals have installed their own turnstiles across the Dolomites as influencers continue to flock to the mountain range in northeastern Italy.
Carlo Zanella, president of the Alto Adige Alpine Club, told Fox News Digital that the turnstiles are “working.”
COASTAL CITY GREENLIGHTS NEW VISITOR TAX AMID WIDESPREAD OVERTOURISM TREND
“The turnstiles were installed at the beginning of July by a farmer who owns the land where the path passes,” said Zenella.
Located in Val Gardena on the Seceda, the turnstiles charge visitors about $5 for access.

Zanella shared the “big problem” that farmers are facing.
He said it’s about visitors “who go to the meadows to pass or have a picnic and ruin the grass that the farmer has to cut to make hay.”
The Dolomiti Superski area, spanning over 12 valleys, had 4 million winter visitors in the 2024 season, according to The Times.

“I am against the influencers,” said Zanella, “because they almost always tell things that are not in events [related] to the locality and show the mountain differently from what it is. They are only interested in making money [through] advertising.”
“The turnstiles were installed at the beginning of July by a farmer who owns the land where the path passes,” a source told Fox News Digital. (Carlo Zanella)
Photos of the mountain range shared on social media show daily lines of thousands of tourists.
In the Province of Belluno, where the Dolomites are located, tourist arrivals increased 11% from 2019 to 2023, according to the official tourism portal.

Zanella said local authorities have met about how to handle tourism issues, but no decision has been made yet.
He believes the best way to reduce the flow of tourists is to highlight that “there are other even more beautiful places to visit.”

Looking to upgrade your wireless earbuds without reaching deep into your wallet? Our favorite earbuds for most people, the Nothing Ear (a) (8/10, WIRED Recommends) are currently marked down to just $79 when you buy them from Nothing directly. They may be cheap when it comes to dollars spent, but they have it where it counts, with great audio quality, an excellent feature set, and awesome battery life.

While the first-party offerings from both Apple and Google make for compelling options, the Nothing Ear (a) are great for both sides of the aisle. They feature painless pairing with either iOS or Android devices and have great touch controls for managing your music or volume. They’re also among the best for battery life, especially for the price, reaching 5.5 hours of play time even with noise-canceling.
The sound quality is really impressive, with custom-made 11-mm drivers that have a sound profile our reviewer described as “crip, clear, and dynamic,” so they’re perfect for listening to more open and delicate music. Jazz, classical, and acoustic songs all shine on the Nothing Ear (a), but you can use them for pop and rock and be just as happy.
They also feature impressive noise-canceling tech, with a full 45 decibels of sound reduction, which is great if you often find yourself trying to catch up on your podcasts on a busy subway. Our reviewer even appreciated them for traveling, noting that they do a good job of reducing the hum of an airplane engine.
There’s a slightly more expensive option as well, the Nothing Ear, which is currently on sale for just $99 and adds wireless charging to the case, plus a ceramic driver. That may sound appealing, but in practice, WIRED writer Parker Hall didn’t necessarily note a huge difference in performance, and the battery life is a little bit worse as a result, so we think the Nothing Ear (a) are a better value.
For under $100, the Nothing Ear (a) provide a remarkable amount of value, with great audio quality for music, excellent noise-canceling, and a platform-agnostic outlook that’s sure to appeal to anyone with lots of different devices. They easily compete with wireless earbuds at twice the price, earning them the top spot on our favorite wireless earbuds roundup.
OSJEĆATE li se često napuhnuto i neugodno? Postoji niz prirodnih i provjerenih metoda koje mogu ublažiti nadutost i poboljšati zdravlje vaših crijeva. Stručnjaci Matthew Bechtold, dr. med., voditelj odjela za gastroenterologiju, i Melinda Ring, dr. med., direktorica Centra za integrativno zdravlje, podijelili su nekoliko jednostavnih savjeta koje možete lako uvrstiti u svoju svakodnevicu, piše Women’s Health.
Redovita tjelovježba
Pokretanje tijela ključno je za dobru probavu. Čak i kratka, 15-minutna šetnja nakon obroka može potaknuti rad crijeva i pomoći vam da ostanete redoviti. Dr. Bechtold ističe kako tjelovježba može “pokrenuti stvari” i potencijalno ublažiti plinove. Prema preporukama Centra za kontrolu i prevenciju bolesti (CDC), odrasle osobe trebale bi težiti oko 150 minuta aerobne aktivnosti umjerenog intenziteta tjedno.
Prilagodba prehrane
Prehrana s niskim udjelom FODMAP namirnica može značajno pomoći kod nadutosti i probavnih smetnji, objašnjava dr. Bechtold. FODMAP je akronim koji označava određene vrste ugljikohidrata koje mogu iritirati probavni sustav. Neke od preporučenih namirnica s niskim udjelom FODMAP-a su banane, masline, rikola, smeđa riža, bademi, govedina, piletina i jaja.
“Ograničavanje soli i gaziranih pića također pomaže, kao i održavanje hidratacije za omekšavanje stolice i olakšavanje prolaska”, dodaje dr. Bechtold.
Isprobajte masažu trbuha
Za ublažavanje zatvora i nadutosti ne morate posjećivati stručnjaka: jednostavna masaža trbuha može biti vrlo učinkovita, kaže dr. Bechtold.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
On savjetuje sljedeću tehniku: “Pokušajte koristiti kružne pokrete vrhovima prstiju preko trbuha, počevši od početka debelog crijeva u donjem desnom dijelu trbuha, prema gore desnom stranom do prsnog koša, preko gornjeg dijela trbuha s desna na lijevo, i dolje lijevom stranom do zdjelice”.
Uključite probiotike i čajeve
Probiotici mogu biti vaši saveznici u borbi protiv nadutosti. “Određeni probiotici pokazali su potencijal u smanjenju simptoma plinova i nadutosti u kliničkim ispitivanjima”, ističe dr. Ring. Osim probiotika, olakšanje mogu donijeti i biljni čajevi.
Dr. Ring dodaje kako čaj od mente ili kamilice može pomoći u sprječavanju nadutosti i poboljšanju probave. Ipak, dr. Bechtold naglašava kako je važno posavjetovati se s liječnikom prije nego što u svoju rutinu dodate bilo kakve dodatke prehrani ili probiotike.

JEDNA američka obitelj vjerovala je da će njihov doberman biti savršen tjelohranitelj za novog mačića, no uloge su se s vremenom potpuno preokrenule, a neočekivani zaštitnik postao je prava internetska senzacija. Vlasnica Hanny iz Kalifornije na društvenim mrežama ponosno dijeli avanture svog dobermana Diesela i tigrastog mačka Wasabija, a njihova priča osvojila je srca stotina tisuća ljudi.
Diesel je već bio odrastao pas i prava zvijezda na Instagramu gdje ga prati stotine tisuća ljudi, kada mu se u obitelji pridružio maleni Wasabi. Iako su očekivali da će pas preuzeti zaštitničku ulogu, dogodilo se upravo suprotno.
“Wasabi apsolutno obožava Diesela”, otkrila je Hanny za Newsweek. “Diesel je odgojio njega i njegovu sestru i njih dvoje su sada nevjerojatno povezani.”
Video koji je postao viralan
Njihova posebna veza najbolje je došla do izražaja u videu objavljenom početkom kolovoza, koji je prikupio gotovo 600.000 lajkova. Snimka prvo prikazuje Diesela i Wasabija kako zajedno gledaju kroz prozor, poput pravih čuvara.
U idućem kadru, dok stoje u dvorištu, pas iz susjedstva počinje lajati. U tom trenutku Wasabi bez oklijevanja staje ispred znatno većeg Diesela, kao da je spreman za borbu.
U razgovoru za Newsweek pojasnila je situaciju: “Bili smo u našem dvorištu kada nas je primijetio susjedov pas i počeo lajati. Naš mačak Wasabi odmah je stao ispred našeg dobermana Diesela, zauzevši stav kao da je spreman za borbu.”

“Nisam sigurna bi li se stvarno borio ili odabrao bijeg – prepustit ću gledateljima da odluče!”, dodala je.
Oduševljeni pratitelji
Korisnici Instagrama bili su oduševljeni prizorom, a komentari su se samo nizali. “Mačke su uvijek spremne za obračun”, napisao je jedan pratitelj.
“Ne dirajte tu macu”, poručio je drugi, dok je treći korisnik sažeo cijelu situaciju: “Pas štiti vas, a mačak štiti vašeg psa.”
Prijateljstvo između pasa i mačaka
Iako se često smatraju prirodnim neprijateljima, mačke i psi mogu razviti čvrstu vezu, što uvelike ovisi o njihovim osobnostima i načinu upoznavanja. Stručnjaci navode kako je vjerojatnije da će životinje sklopiti prijateljstvo ako se upoznaju dok su mlade.
Ključ uspjeha leži u strpljivom i polaganom upoznavanju, pri čemu se mački treba osigurati prostor za bijeg ako se osjeti ugroženom i pobrinuti se da je pas ne naganja.

POSLJEDNJIH godina svjedočili smo usponu neočekivanih trendova u svijetu manikure. Od maslac žute i brat zelene do espresso smeđe, takozvane “ružne” nijanse doživljavaju pravu renesansu, preuzimajući salone za nokte.
I dok su klasična crvena ili nježne neutralne boje uvijek siguran izbor, sve više zaljubljenica u ljepotu prihvaća neočekivane nijanse kao stilski izričaj, po uzoru na zvijezde poput Megan Fox ili SZA, piše Marie Claire.
Narančaste manikure postaju hit zahvaljujući Swift
Najnovija boja koja se pridružila tom nizu je narančasta, velikim dijelom zahvaljujući Taylor Swift. Nakon što je narančasta boja istaknuta na naslovnici albuma Life of a Showgirl, a Swift se u podcastu New Heights pojavila s narančastim ružem umjesto svog prepoznatljivog crvenog, internet je eksplodirao.
Iako su narančaste usne iznenađujuće nosive, predviđa se da će se većina okrenuti manikuri kako bi isprobala nijansu koju sada mnogi nazivaju Showgirl narančastom. Pripremite se, jer će narančasti nokti preplaviti društvene mreže od sada pa sve do zime.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Ako još uvijek niste sigurni je li narančasta boja za vas, ne brinite. Kozmetički brendovi već su prihvatili ovaj živahni trend, što znači da je izbor narančastih lakova praktički beskrajan. U nastavku donosimo nekoliko najboljih koje možete isprobati ove sezone.

Agrawal is building infrastructure and tools optimized for AI agents to access, verify, and organise web data. Simply put, he wants to change how AI surfs the internet by creating a platform that is built for AI, works in real time, can be trusted, and scales easily. But is the idea new? What does it entail? And will it truly transform the web or remain a private ecosystem? Mint explains
What is Parag Agrawal’s story so far?
India-born Parag Agrawal began his career in 2006 as a researcher at Microsoft before moving briefly to Yahoo and later returning to Microsoft. In 2009, he joined AT&T’s research division, but it was at Twitter, which he entered in 2011 as a distinguished software engineer, that his career took off.
After six years, he rose to chief technology officer and, in 2021, was named CEO. His tenure was cut short when Elon Musk acquired Twitter in October 2022, rebranded it as X, and ousted thousands of employees, including Agrawal and three other top executives. The employees collectively sued Musk for $500 million in severance pay, which the latter has partly tentatively settled for now. However, Agrawal and the other three senior executives continue to pursue their own claims in court.
Why is he in the news again?
The IIT Bombay graduate recently announced the launch of his new company’s “Deep Research API (application programming interface)”, which he claimed is “…the first to outperform both humans and all leading models including GPT-5 on two of the hardest benchmarks (the DeepResearch Bench and Browse Comp benchmarks show how well AI can dig up hard-to-find information and produce detailed reports)”.
In operations since last October, Parallel Web Systems already powers “millions of research tasks every day”. According to Agrawal’s LinkedIn post last week, “…some of the fastest growing AI companies use Parallel to bring web intelligence directly into their platform and agents. A public company automates traditionally human workflows, exceeding human-level accuracy with Parallel. Coding agents rely on our search to find docs and debug issues…”
What does it mean for users and enterprises?
Unlike Google or Perplexity, which serve people with answers or links, Parallel is designed for machines. Its Deep Research API enables AI agents to move beyond surface-level searches, using multiple research engines to deliver anything from quick responses to complex, time-intensive insights.
Each result comes with attribution, confidence scores, and structured outputs, making the data both verifiable and machine-ready. For enterprises, this means plugging the API into their own AI systems to power tasks like market analysis, due diligence, customer research, or competitive intelligence. By prioritising traceability and reliability, Parallel is attempting to tackle the problem of AI hallucinations. That makes it especially valuable for sectors such as finance, law, and healthcare, where accuracy and trust matter most.
But how unique is Agrawal’s idea?
Agrawal is right that today’s web still serves humans: we click links, juggle tabs, compare prices, and judge credibility. AI systems attempt the same with unstructured data, paywalls, and noise, limiting them to simple queries. His vision, though, isn’t entirely new.
The programmatic web has long imagined reshaping the internet so machines can interact with it directly. The agentic web goes further, envisioning AI agents that don’t just fetch facts but act on them— booking flights, restocking groceries, or running analysis. But unlike Web3, which focused on decentralised ownership but never scaled, Parallel is a web built for AI as its primary user. With APIs that promise clean, verifiable, real-time data, Agrawal is creating the first serious infrastructure for this shift in the hope that enterprises will pay for it.
What about standards and protocols?
Every major shift in the web’s history has relied on standards and protocols established by bodies like the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)—from hypertext mark up language (HTML) to the frameworks that make today’s web interoperable, allowing programs to communicate with each other.
In the early days of search engines, for instance, companies each used their own indexing methods until standards around metadata and site maps helped unify the ecosystem. Likewise, the rise of mobile apps forced developers and device makers to agree on protocols that allowed apps to work across platforms.
The programmatic web, though, is a complex marketplace dominated by opaque systems and proprietary tech. It still runs on the foundation set by bodies like the W3C and IETF, but remains a patchwork of open ideals and closed commercial interests even as standards groups are trying to rein it back.
Agrawal’s vision of a programmatic, machine-first web, too, would need common formats for attribution, verification, and structured outputs to enable AI agents to reliably share and interpret information across platforms, failing which his project risks becoming another siloed ecosystem as opposed to the transformative web infrastructure he envisions.
What about the AI bot problem?
Automated bots already make up close to half of all internet traffic, performing tasks such as price comparisons and content scraping, but also spamming or gaming systems for ads and clicks. Further, AI-driven bots can mimic human behaviour, learn from their environment, and evade detection.
A machine-first web risks amplifying those problems unless it can distinguish between “good” AI agents and malicious bots. Verification and attribution, which Parallel is building into its system, may help by giving enterprises a way to trust certain sources while filtering out noise. But how do you stop an AI-first internet from becoming overrun by low-quality or adversarial traffic? Search engines like Google already fight constant battles with SEO spam; a programmatic web like Agrawal’s Parallel could magnify that challenge many times over.
So, what can we conclude?
For now, the good news is that investors are supporting the idea. To date, Agrawal has secured $30 million in funding from investors including Khosla Ventures, First Round Capital, and Index Ventures. However, given the bad bot problem and interoperability challenges, Agrawal’s AI startup will not only have to build infrastructure for AI research, but also ensure governance and guardrails that prevent the platform from being gamed.
“It’s easy to feel like the world is all doom and gloom, but thank you for making me feel that it’s not and that humanity still exists. I don’t want this to sound like an award acceptance, speech. So please forgive me if it does sound so. In the middle of a really difficult personal journey, I somehow also managed to finish my film Full Plate which I wrote and directed,” she said.
Domestic equity, currency and debt markets will be closed on Wednesday, August 27, for a local holiday. Trading will resume on Thursday, August 28.
The benchmark BSE Sensex fell 1.04 per cent to 80,786.54, while the NSE Nifty 50 lost 1.02 per cent to 24,712.05 on Tuesday, both posting their worst session in three months after a US Homeland Security notification confirmed that Washington will impose an additional 25 per cent tariff on all Indian-origin goods from Wednesday.
The rupee dropped 0.1 per cent versus the US dollar to 87.68, continuing its losing streak for a fifth consecutive session ahead of the US tariffs effective from Wednesday.
The benchmark 10-year bond closed at 98.08 rupees, with the yield at 6.5997%, after higher-than-expected cut-offs for state debt.
Sujata Appliances Onam campaign is also about homecoming. But it’s completely different – it’s about people in an old age home awaiting their loved ones, living abroad, to visit them on the festive day. The shelter is full of bustle, readying an Onam feast and collecting guest lists from its residents. One lady has no visitor – her children have not visited her in two years and this year too they are not coming. But, instead of moping she invites kids from a local orphanage as her guests. The film ends on the hopeful note that you can create a family.
Archaeologists unearthed a massive trove of gold coins in the Czech Republic, minted by a long-lost civilization — with the site described by officials as “exceptional.”
The discovery was announced by the Museum of Eastern Bohemia in Hradec Králové. The Celtic settlement was found along the route of a future highway, the July release said.
The site dates back to the La Tène period, with archaeologists finding that the settlement peaked in roughly the second century B.C.

It served as a “supra-regional trade and production center” that linked Central Europe to far-flung corners of the ancient world.
The La Tène period marked the height of Celtic power in Europe, shortly before Roman expansion into the region.

Gold and silver coins were discovered at the site, along with amber and “proof of luxury pottery production.”
Excavators also found numerous metal objects, along with ceramic vessel fragments and remnants of dwellings, production facilities and one or two “likely” sanctuaries.
“It represents one of the largest assemblages of artifacts ever discovered in the Czech Republic.”
Researchers took everything they found – and walked away with over 22,000 bags of artifacts, one of the largest archaeological hauls in the country’s history.
LONG-LOST CAPITAL OF ANCIENT CIVILIZATION MAY HAVE FINALLY BEEN UNCOVERED, ARCHAEOLOGISTS SAY: ‘UNIQUE FIND’
The haul, according to officials, represents “one of the largest assemblages of artifacts ever discovered in the Czech Republic,” the museum said in a statement translated from Czech to English.
“These include everyday objects as well as extraordinarily rich collections of jewelry.”

Android’s open nature set it apart from the iPhone as the era of touchscreen smartphones began nearly two decades ago. Little by little, Google has traded some of that openness for security, and its next security initiative could make the biggest concessions yet in the name of blocking bad apps.
Google has announced plans to begin verifying the identities of all Android app developers, and not just those publishing on the Play Store. Google intends to verify developer identities no matter where they offer their content, and apps without verification won’t work on most Android devices in the coming years.
Google used to do very little curation of the Play Store (or Android Market, if you go back far enough), but it has long sought to improve the platform’s reputation as being less secure than the Apple App Store. Years ago, you could publish actual exploits in the official store to gain root access on phones, but now there are multiple reviews and detection mechanisms to reduce the prevalence of malware and banned content. While the Play Store is still not perfect, Google claims apps sideloaded from outside its store are 50 times more likely to contain malware.
This, we are led to believe, is the impetus for Google’s new developer verification system. The company describes it like an “ID check at the airport.” Since requiring all Google Play app developers to verify their identities in 2023, it has seen a precipitous drop in malware and fraud. Bad actors in Google Play leveraged anonymity to distribute malicious apps, so it stands to reason that verifying app developers outside of Google Play could also enhance security.
However, making that happen outside of its app store will require Google to take a page from Apple’s playbook and flex its muscle in a way many Android users and developers could find intrusive. Google plans to create a streamlined Android Developer Console, which devs will use if they plan to distribute apps outside of the Play Store. After verifying their identities, developers will have to register the package name and signing keys of their apps. Google won’t check the content or functionality of the apps, though.
Google says that only apps with verified identities will be installable on certified Android devices, which is virtually every Android-based device—if it has Google services on it, it’s a certified device. If you have a non-Google build of Android on your phone, none of this applies. However, that’s a vanishingly small fraction of the Android ecosystem outside of China.
Google plans to begin testing this system with early access in October of this year. In March 2026, all developers will have access to the new console to get verified. In September 2026, Google plans to launch this feature in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand. The next step is still hazy, but Google is targeting 2027 to expand the verification requirements globally.
A Seismic Shift
This plan comes at a major crossroads for Android. The ongoing Google Play antitrust case brought by Epic Games may finally force changes to Google Play in the coming months. Google lost its appeal of the verdict several weeks ago, and while it plans to appeal the case to the US Supreme Court, the company will have to begin altering its app distribution scheme, barring further legal maneuvering.
Among other things, the court has ordered that Google must distribute third-party app stores and allow Play Store content to be rehosted in other storefronts. Giving people more ways to get apps could increase choice, which is what Epic and other developers wanted. However, third-party sources won’t have the deep system integration of the Play Store, which means users will be sideloading these apps without Google’s layers of security.
It’s hard to say how much of a genuine security problem this is. On one hand, it makes sense Google would be concerned—most of the major malware threats to Android devices spread via third-party app repositories. However, enforcing an installation whitelist across almost all Android devices is heavy handed. This requires everyone making Android apps to satisfy Google’s requirements before virtually anyone will be able to install their apps, which could help Google retain control as the app market opens up. While the requirements may be minimal right now, there’s no guarantee they will stay that way.
The documentation currently available doesn’t explain what will happen if you try to install a non-verified app, nor how phones will check for verification status. Presumably, Google will distribute this whitelist in Play Services as the implementation date approaches. We’ve reached out for details on that front and will report if we hear anything.

U tom razdoblju raste i rizik od kroničnih upala, stoga briga o tijelu postaje važnija no ikad. Srećom, ciljane promjene u prehrani mogu značajno pomoći u ublažavanju tih procesa i podržati zdravo starenje, piše EatingWell.
Namirnice poput bobičastog voća, mahunarki, zelenog lisnatog povrća, lososa i orašastih plodova mogu pomoći u smanjenju upala i očuvanju zdravlja. One osiguravaju obilje antioksidansa, vlakana, proteina i minerala ključnih za potporu mozgu, kostima i mišićima. Naravno, uz prehranu, za zdravo starenje neophodni su i redovito kretanje, kvalitetan san, društvena povezanost te redoviti liječnički pregledi.
Bobičasto voće
Borovnice, kupine, jagode i maline bogat su izvor antioksidansa koji pomažu u smanjenju upala i podržavaju zdravo starenje. “Volim ih preporučivati jer ih je lako dodati namirnicama koje već možda jedete, poput jutarnjeg jogurta ili popodnevnog tanjura s grickalicama”, kaže nutricionistica Zariel Grullón.
Bobičasto voće također je ključan dio MIND dijete, osmišljene za prevenciju demencije i drugih oblika kognitivnog propadanja, što je iznimno važno za očuvanje zdravlja mozga u kasnijim godinama.
Grah i mahunarke
Grah i mahunarke sadrže spojeve s protuupalnim svojstvima, poput peptida, polifenola i saponina. “Konzumiranje mješavine graha i mahunarki osigurava da se dulje osjećate sitima i također pomaže u borbi protiv prekomjerne upale u tijelu”, objašnjava Grullón.
Obiluju vlaknima koja podržavaju zdrav crijevni mikrobiom, što može ublažiti probavne probleme povezane s menopauzom. Primjerice, samo jedna šalica crnog graha osigurava otprilike polovicu dnevnih potreba za vlaknima. Uz to, vrijedan su izvor biljnih proteina koji sprječavaju gubitak mišićne mase.
Tamnozeleno lisnato povrće
“Tamnozeleno lisnato povrće poput špinata, kelja, potočarke i bok choya prepuno je korisnih hranjivih tvari i fitokemikalija koje suzbijaju upalu i pomažu u smanjenju oksidativnog stresa”, ističe nutricionistica Seema Shah.

Ovo povrće sadrži vitamine A, C, E i K te moćne polifenole. Smanjenje razine estrogena u menopauzi može negativno utjecati na zdravlje kostiju, zbog čega je unos kalcija ključan.
“Tamnozeleno lisnato povrće posebno je bogato mineralima za izgradnju kostiju poput kalcija, magnezija i kalija”, dodaje Shah. Ako niste ljubitelj salata, nutricionistica Jamie Baham predlaže alternativu: “Razmislite o biljnom smoothieju koji uravnotežuje voće s tamnozelenim lisnatim povrćem”.
Losos
Losos je izvrstan dodatak prehrani jer obiluje omega-3 masnim kiselinama, poznatima po snažnim protuupalnim svojstvima. “Uključivanje jedne do dvije porcije masne ribe tjedno može podržati zdravlje srca, smanjiti ukočenost povezanu s artritisom i pomoći u očuvanju funkcije mozga. Za žene u ovoj dobnoj skupini, to je također izvrstan izvor visokokvalitetnih proteina i vitamina D, dva hranjiva sastojka koja podržavaju mišićnu masu i snagu kostiju”, kaže nutricionistica Lizzie O’Connor.
Postoji mnogo ukusnih načina za pripremu, a Jamie Baham dijeli svoj omiljeni: “Jedan od mojih omiljenih načina za uključivanje masne ribe u moj tjedni režim je pravljenje domaćih poke zdjela s lososom, smeđom rižom, avokadom, krastavcem i malo soja umaka.”
Orašasti plodovi
Šaka orašastih plodova nudi brojne antioksidanse i hranjive tvari zdrave za srce, poput fitosterola, selena, magnezija i nezasićenih masti. Praktični su kao međuobrok i pomažu u smanjenju rizika od kardiovaskularnih bolesti.
Bademi i orasi posebno su korisni za smanjenje upale, dok brazilski orasi pomažu u smanjenju oksidativnog stresa. Ako ne jedete ribu, orasi su odličan izvor protuupalnih omega-3 masnih kiselina.

U SVAKODNEVNOM životu lako je zaboraviti na sitnice koje donose radost, osim ako niste pas. Za Kodu, minijaturnog australskog ovčara, obično vrtno crijevo za zalijevanje predstavlja vrhunac uzbuđenja, a nedavni video njegove reakcije na samu riječ “crijevo” pokazuje kako jednostavan predmet može uljepšati dan jednom psu, piše dogtime.com.
Koda gaji posebnu, gotovo opsesivnu ljubav prema vrtnom crijevu, a njegova je vlasnica odlučila tu simpatičnu privrženost podijeliti sa svijetom. U videu objavljenom na Instagramu, ona započinje priču riječima: “Koda je zaista veliki obožavatelj crijeva”. U trenutku kada Koda čuje ključnu riječ, nakrivi glavu kao da pokušava procesuirati sretnu vijest. Vlasnica dodaje kako on točno zna gdje se crijevo nalazi i jedva uspijeva obuzdati svoje nestrpljenje.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Kako se video nastavlja, Koda strpljivo čeka da mu vlasnica pusti vodu. U tim trenucima pripreme, ispušta preslatke zvukove, vrti se od uzbuđenja i energično trči po dvorištu. Čim voda poteče, Koda skače u akciju i bezglavo lovi mlaz. Njegovi skokovi, okreti i neprestano mahanje repom jasno pokazuju da proživljava trenutke čiste radosti.
Simpatične reakcije gledatelja
Kodino neizmjerno uzbuđenje nije prošlo nezapaženo, a gledatelji su se odmah zaljubili u njegovu reakciju. “Zalijevanje travnjaka i vježbanje psa u isto vrijeme! Vrlo ekološki od vas”, pohvalio je jedan komentator snalažljivost vlasnice. Drugi je podijelio slično iskustvo: “Naš mini australski ovčar je također apsolutno opsjednut crijevom!” Jedan se gledatelj našalio pitanjem: “Voli li crijevo više od kupanja?”

PRIJE nekoliko dana Kylie Jenner podijelila je sa svojim pratiteljima na Instagramu i TikToku da je nova kolekcija njezina beauty brenda Kylie Cosmetics stigla na police drogerije Ulta. Uz to je pokazala elegantnu mikro francusku manikuru i ležernu kombinaciju koja se sastojala od bijelog crop topa i širokih traperica.
No sve je zasjenio jedan modni dodatak – Hermès Birkin torba od brušene kože u nježnoj ružičastoj nijansi. Internet se doslovno raspametio zbog ovog komada pa se rasprava proširila na gotovo sve društvene mreže, od TikToka do Reddita. Komentiralo se koliko je torba lijepa, ali i koliko je rijetka.
“Košta više od moje kuće, zasigurno”
“Jedna od najljepših Birkinica koje sam vidjela”, “Osobno mi se nikada nije sviđala Birkin torba sve do ove. Slaba sam na brušenu kožu. Toliko je lijepa da bih dala sve za nju, ha ha”, “Košta više od moje kuće, zasigurno”, “Obožavam, obožavam, obožavam tu Birkinicu”, samo su neki od komentara na Redditu.
O svemu se oglasio i Prive Porter, američka tvrtka specijalizirana za luksuzne torbe, posebno Hermès Birkin i Kelly modele. Otkrili su da je riječ o Birkin torbi izrađenoj u potpunosti od brušene Doblis kože. Naveli su i da ih je Hermès prestao proizvoditi prije nekoliko godina.
“Poput jednoroga”
“Ne možete ih naručiti, ne možete ih zatražiti i nikada ih više nećete pronaći u buticima”, napisali su. Dodali su da je Doblis jedna od najrjeđih Hermèsovih koža, a Birkin torbe izrađene od nje gotovo su “poput jednoroga”.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
“Kylie je možda vratila Doblis u centar pažnje, ali kolekcionari već znaju: ovo je jedna od najrjeđih Hermès torbi na svijetu”, zaključili su, a u objavi su pokazali i sličan primjerak u ultraviolet nijansi.
Ovu ružičastu Birkin torbu Kylie posjeduje već nekoliko godina, uz brojne druge primjerke. I dok su Birkin torbe same po sebi mnogima cjenovno nedostižne, ovaj model je gotovo nemoguće pronaći. No ako vas je inspirirala Kylie ili jednostavno volite ružičaste torbe, pogledajte koje se mogu pronaći u trgovinama.

Google has unveiled Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (nicknamed “nano-banana”), its latest image generation and editing model, aimed at giving developers greater creative control and higher-quality outputs.
The update builds on Gemini 2.0 Flash, which was praised for its low latency and cost-effectiveness but had limitations in image quality and editing precision. Gemini 2.5 Flash Image addresses these gaps with several new features:
Multi-image fusion – Blend objects, restyle environments, and combine multiple photos into a single realistic image.
Character consistency – Maintain the same character or product appearance across different settings and angles, useful for storytelling, branding, and catalogs.
Targeted transformations – Make precise edits via natural language prompts, such as blurring backgrounds, removing objects, altering poses, or colorizing photos.
World knowledge integration – Use Gemini’s semantic understanding to read hand-drawn diagrams, assist with education, and follow complex editing instructions.
Template adherence – Generate uniform assets like employee badges, real estate cards, or dynamic product mockups.
Developer tools and pricing
Gemini 2.5 Flash Image costs $30 per 1 million output tokens, with each image priced at approximately $0.039. Google AI Studio has also upgraded its build mode, allowing developers to quickly test, remix, and deploy AI-powered apps—or save their projects to GitHub.
Partnerships and accessibility
To expand adoption, Google has partnered with OpenRouter.ai, bringing the model to its 3 million developers, and fal.ai, a platform for generative media. Gemini 2.5 Flash Image also incorporates SynthID, Google DeepMind’s invisible watermarking tool, to label all AI-generated or edited images.
Google said it is continuing work on improving long-form text rendering, factual detail accuracy, and further boosting reliability in character consistency. The model is expected to move from preview to stable release in the coming weeks.
Prabhu Dheva and Vadivelu’s upcoming film went on floors as the cast and crew participated in a Pooja ceremony, which took place in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, today. With Yuvan Shankar Raja composing music for the Prabhu Dheva and Vadivelu-starrer, the upcoming film will be the first time the trio are collaborating after Manadhai Thirudivittai (2001).
Billed as an action adventure , the film is written and directed by Sam Rodrigues. The film is produced by KRG Kannan Ravi, with Deepak Ravi serving as a co-producer. The upcoming film, which is all set to begin filming in November, is the fourth production from KRG Kannan Ravi.
Babloo Prithveeraj, who was seen in the Vijay Sethupathi-starrer Ace will also essay a pivotal role in the film. The crew of the film includes Vignesh Vasu handling cinematography, Anthony handling edits, and Peter Hein handling stunts.
Prabhu Dheva and Vadivelu have collaborated as actors in films like Kadhalan, Engal Anna, Kaathala Kaathala, Mr Romeo, Love Birds, and Raasaiyya. Vadivelu has starred in films like Pokkiri and Villu, both of which were directed by Prabhu Dheva.
IndiGo co-founder Rakesh Gangwal plans to sell upto 12.1 million shares in the airline in block deals.
The stake sale which amounts to around 3.1 per equity of the airline could fetch Gangwal ₹7,027 crore as per the offer price of ₹5,808 per share.
The offer price is at a discount of 4 per cent to its last closing price of ₹6,050.
Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan are managing the share sale.
Gangwal has been selling shares in the airline in tranches over the past couple of years – with the last transaction taking place in May.
While he continues to be classified as a promoter, he had earlier stepped down from the board following differences with co-founder Rakesh Bhatia on corporate governance issues, and also said that he would gradually reduce his equity stake in the airline over the next five years.
When it comes to city living, most people expect the hustle and bustle of traffic and busy sidewalks, but probably don’t think of pests.
Orkin has released its latest bedbug report, spotlighting which cities have the biggest infestations.
The list is based on both commercial and residential treatment data from metro areas between May 15, 2024, to May 14, 2025.
FLESH-EATING PARASITE CASE DETECTED IN US TRAVELER RETURNING FROM CENTRAL AMERICA
Ben Hottel, an Orkin entomologist based in Atlanta, said in a press release it is “critical that people know the best ways to identify, prevent and control these pests.”
“Bedbugs are some of the most resilient pests in the world, making them extremely difficult to control if brought into a home or hotel,” he said.

National Teachers’ Award 2025: The Ministry of Education’s Department of School Education and Literacy on Tuesday announced the names of 45 teachers from different schools across India who will be felicitated by President Droupadi Murmu with the National Teachers’ Award 2025.
The 45 school teachers will receive their awards on Teachers’ Day, which falls on September 5.
“The 45 selected teachers are from 27 States, 7 UTs and 6 Organizations. Out of 45 selected teachers, 24 are males, 21 are female,” the Ministry of Education said in a statement.
The selection procedure for National Award to Teachers (NAT)-2025 involves two-step process– evaluation by preliminary search-cum screening committee for initial shortlisting of nominees and selection of awardees from the shortlisted nominees by a national jury.
National Teachers’ Award 2025: Who are the 45 awardees?
Here is a list of the school teachers who will be felicitated by Droupadi Murmu for the National Teachers’ Award 2025.
As is the case for many people, my home cannot be retrofitted with central air. My 100-plus-year-old Brooklyn apartment, which features prominently in my seven years of air quality reporting for WIRED, relies on window air conditioning units to keep cool on our warming planet. While there is the obvious paradox that air conditioners are players in climate change, AC units are evolving with more environmentally safe refrigerants, eco modes, smart apps, modern design, and energy-efficient consumption.
That is to say, while I prefer to keep my AC units turned off, on hot days, my top-floor apartment’s temperature will climb to the upper 90s without the support of air conditioning. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that more than 700 people die every year in the United States due to extreme heat. The elderly, young children, pregnant women, and those with existing medical conditions are especially vulnerable.
The number one recommendation from the CDC during extreme heat events is to stay inside an air-conditioned location. The World Health Organization warns that while electric fans can move air onto the body to create a sort of wind-chill effect, when it’s 104 degrees Fahrenheit or above, they can actually increase your body temperature. The ideal combination is using air conditioning in concert with fans to move cool air around a space.

The inability to cool down one’s body temperature is what can lead to heat stroke and other heat-related health events. Air conditioning saves lives.
I’ve been writing about air quality for WIRED since 2018, and as climate change wreaks havoc on our environment, I continue to test and review the latest window air conditioning units on the market. There are two types of window units we review: the recognizable metal box units that hang out of a window, and the increasingly popular “portable” units that use hoses—preferably two—that attach to the window. Both types of AC units offer relief from the heat and protect against heat-related illness. If you’re unsure whether you should turn on your air conditioner, you can check the CDC’s HeatRisk Tracker Map.
Professional Installation Is Worth the Money

LG
12,000 BTU Smart Window Air Conditioner
Your city or town may not have fines and requirements for window unit installation. New York City requires support brackets, especially for those units above sidewalks. I recently hired a professional AC company to securely install LG’s 12,000 BTU model, above. At over 80 pounds, it was too heavy for me to lift. I’ve yet to test a window unit AC where the manufacturer didn’t recommend two people for lifting and installing the unit, usually with a pictogram on the box of two people holding the same box.
Window units are designed to fit in single- or double-hung windows, usually at a minimum height opening of 13 inches. A window unit’s metal support brackets are designed to counteract the downward force of gravity. And there shouldn’t be any books, bricks, or blocks of wood used to level the unit once in the window. There are exceptions—window designs like U-Shaped ACs, like our pick below (an updated model from the one that was recalled this summer), distribute weight equally between the inside and outside of the window sash and may not require brackets.

Smart AC Units Save Money
More and more AC units connect to an app, and while some apps are easier to use than others, smart units have the added feature of turning them on and off remotely or through the use of in-app timers. Smart units have Eco Mode that run at a lower setting, as well as a variety of other features, including temperature settings. Smart ACs give the user so much more agency in knowing when to turn on or off their units.
Environmentally Friendly Refrigerant

Windmill
8,000 BTU with WhisperTech
In my hometown of New York City, residents need to make an online appointment with the Department of Sanitation when placing an old air conditioner on the sidewalk for trash collection. The city removes the CFC (chlorofluorocarbon) gas, or Freon, and affixes a sticker, clearing the unit to be picked for removal. There are now more environmentally friendly refrigerants on the market, such as R600a or R32. Windmill uses R32 in its line of ACs, like our pick above, and while refrigerants like R32 have fewer ozone-depleting properties than old Freon, it is flammable. It’s that flammability that keeps municipal waste management from collecting it for disposal. Companies like Windmill have a trade-in and recycling program for their customers. If your new AC has a yellow triangle with a black flame, your refrigerant is flammable.
Sound
The rattle from a window unit can vibrate throughout a window frame—another reason why professional installation is so important. If an AC isn’t properly leveled, there’s going to be noise. Beyond the rattle of an unleveled AC, would-be AC customers can log on to a manufacturer’s website or online store to see the decibel rating for each unit. Knowing that a refrigerator’s hum is around 40 to 50 decibels and that conversation is around 60 decibels can help you choose the right sound level for you. Knowing the decibel rating is especially important for bedroom units. Will your AC keep you up on hot nights?
Directional Airflow and Filters

GE
Window Air Conditioner Unit, 5,000 BTU
I recently tested GE’s most affordable AC unit, above, and it was only when it was placed next to my bed that I noticed the limited choices I had in choosing the direction of airflow. It had a small grip to slide the airflow to the right, center, or left. They all felt very similar, and it was apparent that having the directional airflow option for straight-up or close to straight-up airflow is a must-have. There is little choice in where to place a window AC in a one-window room. Look for louvers that can move both up and down as well as side to side. WIRED has tested ACs with HEPA filters and with regular slide-out filters. It’s important to keep your AC’s filters clean for your unit to run properly. A clean-the-filter indicator light is an especially helpful feature.
Portable ACs for Unusual Windows

Ecoflow
Wave 3 Portable Air Conditioner
Portable air conditioners are often the only choice for those with either unique or sliding windows, or for those who can’t or aren’t allowed to install a unit in their window. It wasn’t that long ago that most units on the market had a single hose that fit into a window panel with a hole that matched the circumference of the duct. A single hose has the potential of lowering the air pressure and creating a vacuum. A two-duct system like Ecoflow’s, above, is more efficient with both air intake and exhaust, and more and more smart models are app-enabled. The downside of these AC units is their large presence in the room. Many look like rectangular robots. They’re heavy, but most have wheels to make moving them easier, along with the option to have the airflow go straight up. While the design of many of the units we’ve tested has gotten more compact and sleek, the ducts are still a lot. The wide tubing isn’t easy to hide. Still, if you need an AC and cannot use a window unit, portable air conditioners are a godsend.
What Are BTUs?
British thermal unit or BTU is the measurement of the energy required to remove heat within an hour. According to the US Department of Energy, you’ll need 20 BTUs for each square foot of living space. A 300-square-foot room will require an AC with 6,000 BTUs. It’s important to know your room’s square footage. A high BTU in a small room will result in improper dehumidification, and if the BTU is too weak, it will take longer for the unit to cool the room efficiently.
Looks

In the past, window units have been necessary eyesores. They were functional, but for years little had been done to make them aesthetically pleasing. That is no longer the case, with startups like July, which makes our pick above, reimagining what a window AC looks like. There are wood-panel fronts and sleek, modern designs that blend in with the room, and that trend isn’t letting up any time soon.
OBOŽAVATELJI čaja često se nađu pred dilemom: matcha ili klasični zeleni čaj? Iako oba napitka potječu od iste biljke, Camellia sinensis, značajne razlike u uzgoju, obradi i pripremi utječu na njihov okus, ali i na zdravstvene prednosti. Oba su bogata korisnim spojevima poput aminokiselina i antioksidansa, no postavlja se pitanje koji je od njih bolji saveznik za naše zdravlje, piše Health.com.
Što je zapravo matcha?
Matcha je, najjednostavnije rečeno, koncentrirani zeleni čaj u prahu, no njezina posebnost leži u načinu uzgoja. Biljke čaja namijenjene za matchu veći dio vegetacije provode u sjeni, prekrivene bambusovim prostirkama. Ovaj postupak štiti ih od izravne sunčeve svjetlosti i potiče proizvodnju zdravih spojeva poput klorofila i L-teanina, umirujuće aminokiseline.
Rezultat je čaj glatkog i blagog okusa te prepoznatljive, jarko zelene boje. Nakon berbe, listovi se pare, suše i melju u fini prah jedinstvenog, zemljanog okusa. Matcha se tradicionalno pije umućena s vodom, ali je popularan sastojak i u latte napicima.
Po čemu se razlikuje zeleni čaj?
Za razliku od matche, grmovi zelenog čaja rastu na punom suncu. Izloženost suncu rezultira svjetlijom bojom listova i robusnijim, pomalo oporim okusom. Ta blaga gorčina potječe od viših razina katehina, spojeva koji se razvijaju u većim količinama pod utjecajem sunčeve svjetlosti.
S druge strane, uzgoj u sjeni smanjuje proizvodnju katehina u matchi, što joj daje glađi okus. Listovi zelenog čaja se nakon berbe ne melju, već se suše, valjaju ili pare kako bi sačuvali aromu, a zatim pakiraju kao čaj u listićima ili u vrećicama.
Nutritivna usporedba
Glavne razlike između matche i zelenog čaja očituju se u razinama kofeina, L-teanina i kalorija. Iako su oba napitka niskokalorična, šalica zelenog čaja ima oko 2.5 kalorija, dok matcha sadrži 5 kalorija.
Kad je riječ o kofeinu, matcha je znatno jači izvor. Šalica zelenog čaja sadrži oko 29.4 mg kofeina, dok šalica matche, pripremljena s jednom čajnom žličicom praha, može sadržavati između 37.8 i 88.8 mg kofeina.
Oba čaja sadrže i L-teanin, aminokiselinu s umirujućim učinkom, no matcha je i tu u prednosti. Studije pokazuju da matcha ima između 9.0 i 28.51 mg L-teanina po gramu, dok zeleni čaj ima oko 6.56 mg po gramu.
Konačno, antioksidansi. Oba su dobar izvor spojeva poput epigalokatehin galata (EGCG), no istraživanja sugeriraju da matcha može sadržavati čak 137 puta više antioksidansa od zelenih čajeva niže kvalitete i do tri puta više od onih visokokvalitetnih.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Snaga antioksidansa
Zbog značajno viših razina antioksidansa, poput katehina i vitamina C, matcha se smatra boljim izborom za one koji traže upravo te prednosti.
“Matcha i zeleni čaj sadrže brojne aktivne spojeve, uključujući L-teanin, rutin, kvercetin, kofein, klorofil i višestruke katehine”, objasnila je nutricionistica Kiran Campbell.
Prehrana bogata antioksidansima, kakve nalazimo u čaju, voću i povrću, povezana je s nižim rizikom od srčanih bolesti i određenih vrsta raka. “Antioksidansi djeluju u tijelu kako bi spriječili i smanjili stanična oštećenja od toksina i slobodnih radikala”, dodaje nutricionistica Trista Best.
Energija i fokus
Zahvaljujući većem udjelu kofeina, matcha nudi snažniji poticaj energije. Ipak, visoke razine umirujuće aminokiseline L-teanina pomažu uravnotežiti stimulativne učinke kofeina. Zbog toga je matcha dobar izbor za one koji žele održivu energiju bez nervoze koja se često povezuje s kavom.
Zdravlje srca
Istraživanja pokazuju da je konzumacija zelenog čaja povezana s nižim rizikom od srčanih bolesti. Redovito pijenje zelenog čaja može pomoći u smanjenju upala te faktora rizika poput visokog kolesterola i krvnog tlaka. Iako su istraživanja o matchi ograničena, vjeruje se da nudi slične zaštitne učinke za srce.
Metabolizam i pomoć pri mršavljenju
Ekstrakti zelenog čaja čest su sastojak dodataka prehrani za mršavljenje jer kofein i katehini mogu blago potaknuti sagorijevanje masti i kalorija. Budući da matcha sadrži više razine ovih spojeva, mogla bi imati blagu prednost u podršci mršavljenju.
Ipak, važno je zapamtiti da nijedna namirnica sama po sebi ne može uzrokovati značajan gubitak težine bez promjena u prehrani i načinu života. Također je dokazano da zeleni čaj smanjuje razinu šećera u krvi, što ga čini dobrim izborom za metaboličko zdravlje.

Zdravlje mozga
Veća koncentracija L-teanina čini matchu potencijalno snažnijom za zdravlje mozga, iako je i zeleni čaj odličan izbor. “Poznato je da L-teanin u matchi poboljšava zdravlje mozga, uključujući poboljšano pamćenje, pažnju i vrijeme reakcije”, objasnila je Best, dodajući: “Sadržaj kofeina također pomaže u poboljšanju funkcije mozga”.
L-teanin štiti moždane stanice od oštećenja povezanih sa starenjem i može smanjiti rizik od kognitivnih stanja poput demencije. Istraživanja potvrđuju da ljudi koji redovito piju zeleni čaj imaju manji rizik od razvoja demencije.
Kako ih pripremiti?
Priprema matche zahtijeva malo više truda. Tradicionalno se jedna do dvije čajne žličice praha prosiju u zdjelu, doda se malo vruće (ne kipuće) vode i muti pjenjačom dok ne postane pjenasto. Zatim se dodaje još vode do željene gustoće. Matcha je također odlična za pripremu kremastih latte napitaka, smoothieja ili kao dodatak zobenim pahuljicama.
Zeleni čaj je jednostavniji za pripremu. Jedna čajna žličica listića ili jedna vrećica čaja prelije se vrućom vodom i ostavi da odstoji jednu do tri minute. Za bolji okus mogu se dodati limun, menta ili med.
Konačan izbor: Matcha ili zeleni čaj?
Oba napitka su zdrava, pa konačan izbor ovisi o vašim preferencijama, toleranciji na kofein i zdravstvenim ciljevima. Ipak, vrijedi uzeti u obzir nekoliko stvari.
“Zeleni čaj je lakši za pripremu od matche, zahtijeva samo šalicu vruće vode”, napominje Campbell. “Također je bolji izbor za one s visokim krvnim tlakom ili osjetljivošću na kofein jer sadrži manje kofeina od matche”, dodala je.
Budući da matcha ima intenzivniji okus, često se poslužuje sa zaslađivačima ili mlijekom. Ako pazite na unos kalorija, birajte nezaslađene verzije. S druge strane, blaži okus zelenog čaja mnogima odgovara i bez ikakvih dodataka.
DAJETE li još uvijek svojoj mački mlijeko ili koristite češnjak kako biste otjerali buhe sa psa? Mnogi zastarjeli savjeti o brizi za kućne ljubimce i dalje kruže, prenoseći se s generacije na generaciju. No, samo zato što se nešto radi godinama, ne znači da je sigurno ili učinkovito, piše The Spruce Pets.
Kako se naše razumijevanje zdravlja i ponašanja životinja razvijalo, mijenjao se i pristup brizi o njima. Danas je skrb temeljena na dokazima zlatni standard koji pomaže ljubimcima da žive dulje, zdravije i sretnije. U nastavku donosimo deset uobičajenih, ali pogrešnih savjeta i objašnjavamo što biste trebali činiti umjesto toga.
Mit 1: Mlijeko je dobra poslastica za mačke
Iako su crtići i filmovi popularizirali sliku mačke koja pije mlijeko, stvarnost je drugačija. “Mačke zapravo ne podnose laktozu”, kaže Samantha Bell, stručnjakinja za mačke u Best Friends Animal Society. “Kravlje mlijeko može uzrokovati probavne smetnje kod mačaka koje bi mogle dovesti do ozbiljnih zdravstvenih problema.” Ako baš želite ponuditi mliječnu poslasticu, postoje posebna “mačja mlijeka” bez laktoze.
Mit 2: Kažnjavanje tijekom dresure je učinkovito
Metode koje se oslanjaju na strah, poput davilica, elektrošok ogrlica ili vikanja, mogu trenutačno zaustaviti neželjeno ponašanje, ali dugoročno štete. Allie Bender iz tvrtke Pet Harmony Animal Behavior & Training objašnjava da takav pristup ne uči psa što bi trebao raditi, narušava povjerenje i može pogoršati probleme u ponašanju. Moderna dresura temelji se na pozitivnom potkrepljenju, odnosno nagrađivanju poželjnog ponašanja poslasticama, igračkama ili pohvalom, što jača vašu vezu s ljubimcem.
Mit 3: Suha hrana čisti zube
Nekad se vjerovalo da granule pomažu u smanjenju plaka, no istraživanja su pokazala da suha hrana ne nudi nikakvu prednost u odnosu na mokru. Veterinarka Rebecca Goode objašnjava da mačke često gutaju cijele granule, a čak i kad ih žvaču, one se lome pri vrhu zuba i ne pružaju gotovo nikakav učinak čišćenja. Iznimka su posebno formulirane dentalne dijete čije su granule veće i vlaknastije te dokazano smanjuju plak i kamenac.
Mit 4: Boks je dobra kazna za psa
“Obično ljudi žele da njihov pas smatra boks sigurnim mjestom”, kaže Bender i dodaje: “Teško je to postići ako boks želite koristiti i za kažnjavanje.” Kazna mora uslijediti unutar tri sekunde od neželjenog ponašanja da bi je pas povezao s djelom. Boks bi trebao ostati sigurno utočište, a ne zatvor.
Mit 5: Veterinaru se ide samo kad je ljubimac bolestan
Preventivna skrb ključna je za dug i zdrav život vašeg ljubimca. Redoviti godišnji ili polugodišnji pregledi pomažu u ranom otkrivanju zdravstvenih problema i pružaju priliku za razgovor s veterinarom o prehrani, ponašanju i drugim brigama.
Mit 6: Češnjak tjera buhe
Ova ideja temelji se na pretpostavci da će miris češnjaka koji ljubimac “isparava” odbiti buhe. No, veterinari upozoravaju da je češnjak otrovan za pse i mačke, a čak i male količine mogu biti opasne. Uz to, metoda je neučinkovita jer se psi i mačke ne znoje poput ljudi.

Mit 7: Stari psi ne mogu učiti nove trikove
Ova izreka je potpuno netočna. Psi mogu učiti u bilo kojoj dobi, a trening je izvrstan za održavanje mentalne oštrine i fizičke aktivnosti kod starijih pasa. Važno je samo prilagoditi aktivnosti njihovim eventualnim fizičkim ograničenjima.
Mit 8: Mačke u stanu ne trebaju zaštitu od buha
Buhe i njihova jajašca mogu ući u vaš dom na cipelama, odjeći ili preko drugih ljubimaca. Kada ih unesete u kuću, mogu mjesecima preživjeti u tepisima i namještaju. Zato je cjelogodišnja prevencija važna čak i za mačke koje nikada ne izlaze.
Mit 9: Ljubimcima ne treba prati zube
Mnogi vlasnici ovo zanemaruju, ali pranje zubi je najučinkovitiji način prevencije dentalnih bolesti. Problemi sa zubima mogu uzrokovati bol, gubitak zuba i ozbiljne infekcije koje se mogu proširiti na srce i bubrege. Redovita dentalna higijena je nužnost, a ne luksuz.
Mit 10: Mačke se ne mogu dresirati
“Apsolutno možete dresirati svoju mačku, i trebali biste”, kaže Bell. “Vašoj mački je to zabavno, a nadamo se i vama, i uz to produbljuje vašu vezu.” Započnite s jednostavnim trikom poput “sjedi”, koristeći poslasticu kako biste naveli mačku u željeni položaj.
Zašto ovi mitovi i dalje postoje?
Unatoč napretku znanosti, zastarjeli savjeti opstaju zbog kulturoloških navika i prenošenja unutar obitelji, starih knjiga koje su još uvijek u optjecaju te dezinformacija koje se brzo šire internetom bez stručne provjere.
Kako prepoznati loš savjet?
Budite oprezni ako savjet dolazi od nekvalificirane osobe i nije potkrijepljen istraživanjem. Sumnjiva su i previše pojednostavljena rješenja koja obećavaju trenutne rezultate, metode koje se temelje na strahu ili boli te tvrdnje potkrijepljene samo osobnim iskustvom. Ako nešto zvuči predobro da bi bilo istinito, vjerojatno i jest.
Moderna briga za sretne ljubimce
Iako su stari savjeti rašireni, važno je prepoznati kada više ne služe dobrobiti vašeg ljubimca. Moderne, znanstveno utemeljene prakse nude sigurnije i učinkovitije načine za brigu o vašem najboljem prijatelju. Uvijek se posavjetujte s veterinarom ili certificiranim stručnjakom za ponašanje životinja.

NAKON gotovo mjesec dana slavlja, putovanja u dvije zemlje i niza ljetnih modnih kombinacija, proslava 30. rođendana pop zvijezde Due Lipe prošlog je vikenda doživjela svoj vrhunac. U pravom stilu horoskopskog lava, pjevačica je proslavu zaokružila još jednim odvažnim izdanjem – potpuno prozirnom haljinom koja savršeno pristaje “kraljici odmora”, kako je mnogi nazivaju.
Vrhunac slavlja u prozirnoj kreaciji
Nakon što je veći dio mjeseca provela na Ibizi, Dua se za kraj proslave uputila na Jamajku. Za završni rođendanski look, zvijezda je odabrala mrežastu bordo kreaciju brenda Mirror Palais, omiljenog među svjetskim it djevojkama, piše W Magazine.
Haljina s halter izrezom, koja je još uvijek dostupna za kupnju na web stranici brenda, izrađena je od ručno kukičane čipke s blistavim šljokicama na gornjem sloju. Ispod nje Dua je nosila samo odgovarajuće tange, a kombinaciju je upotpunila metalnim narukvicama, njegovanom i sjajnom kožom te razbarušenom kosom.
Mjesec dana smjelih kombinacija
Lipa je svoje rođendanske svečanosti započela još početkom kolovoza, iako joj je rođendan 22. kolovoza. Proslavu je otvorila intimnim doručkom s bliskim prijateljima, obitelji i zaručnikom Callumom Turnerom.

Za tu je prigodu zablistala u bijeloj Jacquemus kreaciji otvorenih leđa s odvažnim detaljem lažnih tangi koje su otkrivale bokove. Samo nekoliko dana kasnije, uskočila je u haljinu nalik disko kugli brenda CGDS, koju su također krasili otvoreni dijelovi i duboki prorezi. Posljednji look iz Mirror Palaisa tako je samo nastavio niz njezinih smjelih rođendanskih izdanja.
Emotivna poruka za 30. rođendan
No, nije sve bilo u znaku glamura i sjaja. Na sam dan rođendana Dua se obratila pratiteljima na Instagramu emotivnom porukom povodom ulaska u 30-e. “Ovaj posljednji krug oko sunca bio je, bez sumnje, moja najdraža godina dosad”, napisala je.
“Posljednjih 10 godina bilo je najnevjerojatnije putovanje koje sam ikada mogla sanjati… moje dvadesete bile su čista MAGIJA. Ne bez izazova ili neugodnih trenutaka, ali ispunjene s više ljubavi, radosti i lekcija nego što sam ikada zamišljala. Duboko sam zahvalna za svaki korak putovanja i sve što je bilo potrebno da dođem ovdje.”

Mumbai, August 26: Telugu Titans are gearing up for Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 with renewed ambition and a well-balanced squad under the guidance of head coach Krishan Kumar Hooda. After narrowly missing the playoffs in Season 11, finishing seventh with 66 points from 22 matches, the Hyderabad-based franchise is determined to turn its fortunes around. Adding to the excitement, PKL Season 12 kicks off in Vizag, the Titans’ second home, where they enjoy the backing of some of the most passionate and vocal fans in the league. The home advantage could provide a crucial early momentum boost as they look to start strong and lay down a marker. PKL 2025 Revised Schedule: Pro Kabaddi League Organisers Announce Chennai Leg Ends on October 10, Delhi Leg Begins on October 11.
The Titans’ management demonstrated strategic consistency by retaining the core squad and making wise investments during the PKL Season 12 Player Auction, spending Rs 4.531 crore to bring in fresh talent. Their decisions reflect a clear intent to challenge for their maiden PKL title in the upcoming campaign.
The Titans’ primary strength lies in the depth and versatility of their squad. With a mix of experienced stars and promising youngsters, Telugu Titans boast formidable options in both raiding and defensive departments. One of the smartest moves was using the Final Bid Match (FBM) card to retain Vijay Malik for Rs 51.50 lakh.
The dynamic all-rounder was exceptional last season, racking up 172 raid points and 11 tackle points, often leading the charge in crunch moments. The acquisition of Bharat Hooda for Rs 81 lakh brings a proven raiding pedigree to the squad. While his recent form has dipped, Bharat still remains a vital component with 599 career raid points. Alongside Bharat and Vijay, Jai Bhagwan – a highly-rated young raider – adds flair and unpredictability. PKL 2025: Jaipur Pink Panthers Name Nitin Rawal As Captain, Reza Mirbagheri As Vice-Captain Ahead of Pro Kabaddi League Season 12.
Retained stars Ashish Narwal and Manjeet, both retained via FBM at Rs 15.17 lakh and Rs 13 lakh respectively, provide bench strength and raiding options off the bench. This allows the Titans to rotate their raiders tactically based on match situations.
The Titans also made key additions to the defence. The signing of Shubham Shinde, one of the top right corners in the league, for Rs 80 lakh is a massive boost. With 207 tackle points in 106 games, Shinde brings aggression, experience, and leadership at the back.
To support him, Telugu Titans have brought in defenders like Aman Antil and Rahul Dagar, alongside a promising group that includes AmirHossein Ejlali, Shankar Gadai, Ankit, Sagar Rawal, Ajit Pawar, Avi Duhan, and Bantu Malik. This mix of youthful energy and seasoned professionals ensures the Titans have multiple defensive combinations at their disposal.
Despite the squad’s balance, certain voids remain unaddressed. The most glaring weakness is the departure of former captain Pawan Kumar Sehrawat. A marquee player and the Titans’ top raider in Seasons 10 and 11, Pawan notched 202 and 129 raid points respectively, before injury curtailed his last campaign. PKL 2025: Telugu Titans Captain Vijay Malik Opens Up Ahead of Pro Kabaddi League Season 12, Says ‘We’re Stronger Than Many Teams This Season’.
Pawan’s leadership and ability to change games single-handedly made him a vital cog in the Titans’ engine. His exit leaves a leadership void, especially in high-pressure scenarios. Another area of concern is the inexperience in the cover positions. On the right cover, Sagar Rawal is still finding his feet after debuting last season, while Avi Duhan is yet to feature in a single PKL match.
On the left cover, Ajit Pawar (42 matches) is the only experienced name. Bantu Malik, though promising, is yet to debut in the league. These gaps could be exploited by stronger raiding units, particularly if injuries strike during the season. With seasoned campaigners forming the core, PKL Season 12 is a golden opportunity for the Titans to go all the way.
Retaining Krishan Kumar Hooda as head coach adds immense value. A Dronacharya Awardee, Hooda led Dabang Delhi K.C. to their first-ever PKL title in Season 8 and has multiple national accolades under his belt. His tactical acumen and motivational leadership have already begun shaping this team’s identity.
His familiarity with nurturing young talent could prove pivotal in unlocking the potential of Telugu Titans’ NYP (New Young Player) recruits. Youngsters like Chetan Sahu, Rohit Rathee, Nitin, and Sagar Rawal, all retained under the Existing NYP Category, will be eager to prove themselves.
Their integration could add unexpected X-factors to the Titans’ gameplay, particularly in matches where depth and energy are needed. If utilised strategically, these youngsters could not only impress fans but also ease pressure off the senior players.
Several external and internal threats could derail the Titans’ title hopes. Much will depend on the performance of Bharat Hooda, who, despite a decent career tally, hasn’t been consistent in recent seasons. His 205 raid points across two seasons aren’t reflective of the investment made. If Bharat fails to deliver early, it could dent morale and put additional pressure on Vijay Malik to carry the raiding load.
In Pawan Sehrawat’s absence, the Titans lack a true match-winner in attack. While Vijay and Bharat are capable, they aren’t in the league of Pawan Sehrawat, Arjun Deshwal, or Naveen Kumar in terms of sheer dominance and unpredictability.
This void might affect the team’s ability to turn matches around from losing positions, especially against top-tier defences. As highlighted earlier, the lack of experience in cover positions may expose Telugu Titans in tight matches. Elite raiders will likely target these gaps. Unless the likes of Sagar, Ajit, and Avi step up quickly, this could be a persistent Achilles’ heel. PKL 2025: Bengal Warriorz Hand Captaincy to Devank Dalal; Nitesh Kumar Named Defence Captain.
Telugu Titans enter PKL Season 12 with renewed belief, smart acquisitions, and a cohesive core. With a good balance of youth and experience, and a seasoned coach at the helm, the Titans have a genuine shot at the elusive PKL title.
However, the team’s success will hinge on a few critical factors – the form of Bharat Hooda, the leadership void left by Pawan, and how well the young defenders handle pressure. If these challenges are overcome, Telugu Titans might well become the dark horses of PKL Season 12.

As America’s elite increasingly seek “golden” visas across the globe, others are seeking “refugee status” closer to home.
Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Board released data highlighting a spike in Americans moving to the Land of the Maple Leaf.
The data, shared Thursday, found that more Americans applied for refugee status in Canada in the first half of 2025 than in all of 2024, Reuters reported.
3 EXCLUSIVE ‘GOLDEN’ VISA DESTINATIONS THAT AMERICA’S WEALTHIEST ARE EYEING
There have been 245 refugee claims so far this year, with 204 claims filed last year.
The 245 Americans who applied surpassed the numbers of each previous full year since 2019, according to Reuters.

While the data does not specify the reasons Americans are seeking refugee status, many reports suggest political disagreements with the Trump administration.
Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley, for example, told the Financial Times (FT) he accepted a position at the University of Toronto and cited academic freedom concerns.
“I believe in the values of academic freedom and defending democratic institutions … Not the idea that the proper response to authoritarians is to hide and hope you’re not next,” Stanley said.

Historians Timothy Snyder and Marci Shore also accepted positions at the University of Toronto, according to FT.
Leading up to the 2024 presidential election, various celebrities publicized their plans to move if President Trump was re-elected.

Sharon Stone, Cher and Barbra Streisand all threatened to relocate, Fox News Digital previously reported.
Streisand once said she wouldn’t be able to “live in this country if he becomes president,” while Stone said she was “certainly considering a house in Italy.”
David Lesperance, a lawyer who represents ultra-high net-worth families, told Axios he is seeing people move to the U.K.

“A lot of the movement that we’re now seeing of Americans moving … would be people who don’t want to live in Trump’s America,” said Lesperance.
Canada-based Mohamed Bennis, an associate vice president at Arton Capital, previously spoke with Fox News Digital about the increase in “golden” visas.

Political divisions, said Bennis, have influenced wealthy Americans to weigh their options.
They’re not necessarily changing their primary residences, but they might be acquiring the freedom to have another option.

LG’s new evo G5 OLED TV is poised to be one of the brightest, most beautiful TVs released this year. I saw it in person at CES 2025, and from my brief time with it I can already tell you its new quad-stack panel is a scorcher that keeps the perfect black levels and fabulous colors for which LG OLED TVs are praised. They’ve rolled out their latest version, the OLED evo AI G5 4K Smart TV, enhanced with AI for more personalization, an ultra crisp picture, and even less lag time. On top of up to $400 off, get free professional wall mounting, a free $200 TV stand, and $200 off when you bundle with a matching soundbar.
PREHRANA ima golem utjecaj na naše zdravlje, a posebno na srce i krvožilni sustav. Smatra se ključnim promjenjivim čimbenikom rizika za kardiovaskularne bolesti, zbog čega stručnjaci neprestano naglašavaju važnost pametnih odabira. Prehrana bogata vlaknima preporučuje se kao jedan od temelja za očuvanje zdravlja srca, a namirnica koja u tome pomaže vjerojatno se već nalazi u vašoj smočnici, piše Parade.
“Povećanje unosa vlakana, posebno topivih vlakana, može na mnogo načina koristiti zdravlju srca”, ističe intervencijski kardiolog dr. Cheng-Han Chen. Unatoč preporukama od 25 do 30 grama vlakana dnevno, većina ljudi ne unosi dovoljno, što ih izlaže riziku od zatvora pa sve do kroničnih bolesti.
Manjak vlakana postaje osobito zabrinjavajući s godinama, kada prirodno raste i rizik od kardiovaskularnih oboljenja, pojašnjava dr. Chen. Ako želite poboljšati zdravlje svojega srca, kardiolozi su složni da jedna namirnica bogata vlaknima može biti od iznimne pomoći.
Zobena kaša: Saveznik zdravog srca
Kardiolozi jednoglasno preporučuju zobenu kašu kao idealan način za povećanje unosa vlakana. “Zobena kaša je izvrstan izbor za hranu bogatu vlaknima”, potvrđuje dr. Chen.
S njim se slaže i dr. Supreeti Behuria, ravnateljica Centra za hipertenziju u Sveučilišnoj bolnici Staten Island Northwell. “Zob je izvor vlakana koji se lako kuha, lako jede i nježan je za probavni sustav”, kaže ona. Samo jedna šalica kuhane zobene kaše osigurava gotovo 8 grama vlakana, što je značajan korak prema preporučenom dnevnom unosu.
Višestruke dobrobiti vlakana
Vlakna imaju nekoliko ključnih uloga u očuvanju zdravlja kardiovaskularnog sustava, osobito u starijoj dobi. “Vlakna podržavaju zdravlje srca snižavanjem LDL (lošeg) kolesterola”, objašnjava dr. Behuria. Visoke razine LDL kolesterola mogu uzrokovati nakupljanje plaka u arterijama, što povećava rizik od srčanog i moždanog udara.
Osim toga, vlakna pomažu u kontroli krvnog tlaka, dodaje. Nekontrolirani krvni tlak oštećuje krvne žile i povećava vjerojatnost zatajenja srca.
Dr. Chen napominje kako dovoljan unos vlakana pomaže i u regulaciji tjelesne težine te kontroli šećera u krvi, “što sve može pomoći u smanjenju rizika od srčanih bolesti”. Stabilna razina šećera u krvi ključna je za prevenciju dijabetesa tipa 2, stanja koje udvostručuje rizik od razvoja srčanih oboljenja.

Topiva i netopiva vlakna
Vlakna se dijele u dvije glavne skupine. Topiva vlakna, kakva se nalaze u zobi, grašku, jabukama i agrumima, u crijevima stvaraju gelastu tvar. Posebno su poznata po svojoj sposobnosti snižavanja kolesterola i smanjenja rizika od srčanih bolesti.
Netopiva vlakna ne otapaju se u vodi, a nalaze se u namirnicama poput pšeničnih mekinja, povrća i cjelovitih žitarica. Njihova je glavna uloga dodavanje volumena stolici i poticanje bržeg prolaska hrane kroz probavni sustav.
Kako najbolje iskoristiti zobenu kašu?
Najjednostavniji način je uvrstiti zobenu kašu u doručak. Ipak, dr. Behuria savjetuje da je kombinirate s drugim namirnicama za maksimalan učinak.
“Kada jedete zob, kombinirajte je s izvorom proteina i zdravih masti, poput orašastih plodova, sjemenki ili jogurta, kako biste pomogli u održavanju stabilne razine šećera u krvi”, kaže ona. Takav obrok pružit će i dulji osjećaj sitosti. Dr. Chen dodaje da se unos vlakana može dodatno povećati dodavanjem bobičastog voća ili jabuka.
Iako je zobena kaša sjajan izbor, važno je da ne bude jedini izvor vlakana u prehrani. “Važno je unositi vlakna iz raznih izvora, idealno kroz cjelovite neprerađene namirnice ili minimalno prerađene namirnice”, ističe dr. Chen.
Ako dosad niste jeli puno hrane bogate vlaknima, preporučuje se postupno povećavati unos kako bi se tijelo prilagodilo i izbjegla nadutost. “Također biste trebali zapamtiti da unosite puno tekućine kada unosite puno vlakana”, zaključuje dr. Chen.

JEDNOGODIŠNJI zlatni retriver Joey nasmijao je korisnike TikToka nakon što je njegova obitelj podijelila video neuspješnog kampiranja u Cornwallu, popularnoj turističkoj regiji na jugozapadu Engleske.
Video, objavljen 19. kolovoza na profilu @joeythegoldenretriever, prikazuje Joeyja kako leži u svom krevetiću unutar šatora dok vani puše snažan vjetar i tutnji oluja. Njegov ozbiljan pogled, koji je jasno odavao nesanicu i zbunjenost, ubrzo je postao hit među pratiteljima. Snimka je do sada prikupila više od 1,7 milijuna pregleda i preko 217 tisuća lajkova.
U opisu videa vlasnici su se našalili da su na cijelom odmoru spavali jedva četiri sata, dok je Joey, prema njihovim riječima, “došao kući s PTSP-om”. Umjesto mirnih večeri uz more, obitelj se suočila s olujnim noćima koje su njihovom ljubimcu očito teško pale.
Reakcije pratitelja: Treba mu odmor nakon odmora
Kako piše Newsweek, korisnici TikToka preplavili su objavu komentarima. Mnogi su Joeyev izraz lica opisali kao savršeni prikaz osjećaja kada netko pokušava uživati u odmoru u lošim uvjetima.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
“Želim se vratiti kući”, napisao je jedan komentator, dok je drugi dodao: “On ne zna zašto je uopće tamo.” Treći je zaključio: “Treba mu pravi odmor nakon ovog odmora.”
Bilo je i šaljivih komentara na račun vlasnika: “Ne preispituje on svoje životne odluke, već odluke svojih vlasnika.”
“Moj pas bi spakirao stvari i otišao”, našalila se jedna korisnica, dok je druga istaknula: “Moj bi lajao toliko glasno da bi nas izbacili iz kampa.”

EMILY Ratajkowski poznata je po ponekad kontroverznim modnim odabirima, a da ne namjerava prestati s pomicanjem granica pokazala je svojim najnovijim izdanjem.
Na Instagramu je podijelila fotografije u neobičnom kompletu koji se sastoji od neobičnog topa koji nalikuje na trake i uskih prozirnih tajica ispod kojih se vidi minijaturno donje rublje. Cijelu kombinaciju zaokružila je crnim salonkama sa šiljatim vrhom, upotpunivši monokromatski izgled.
“Opsjednuta sam”
“Kao jako važna dizajnerica”, našalila se Ratajkowski u opisu objave koja je privukla veliku pozornost.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
“Ova je kombinacija stvorena za tebe”, “Da, opsjednuta sam”, “Hot”, “O Bože, pala sam na koljena”, “Kraljica”, “Bože moj”, “Tako lijepa”, glase neki od komentara na objavu.
No iako je možda teško pronaći priliku u kojoj biste nosili ovakve tajice, s topom je već drugačije. U klubu ili na koncertu, ovakav top će privući pozornost na najbolji mogući način. Sličan smo pronašli na Farfetchu, a možete ga pogledati ispod.

In recent weeks, speculation has linked Dhruva to a possible collaboration with Kerebette director Raj Guru, though no official confirmation has emerged. Adding to the curiosity, CE has now learnt that the actor is currently in talks with none other than Suri — the cult filmmaker behind films like Duniya, Anna Bond, and Tagaru. As we had earlier reported, Suri was preparing to begin his long-planned collaboration with Yuvarajkumar, a film intended to follow Ekka, in association with PRK Productions, Jayanna Films, and KRG Studios. However, sources say that the project has been put on hold and pushed further due to undisclosed reasons. As a result, the director is currently considering other avenues, including a potential team-up with Dhruva Sarja.
In sharp contrast, domestic mutual funds climbed to a fresh record share of 10.6 per cent in NSE-listed companies, and 13 per cent in the Nifty 50
The balance of power in India’s equity markets continues to tilt toward domestic investors, with the promoter ownership in listed companies sliding to fresh lows while retail and mutual fund participation continues to hit new peaks.
According to NSE’s latest Market Pulse report, promoter stakes across NSE-listed companies fell for the fourth straight quarter to 50.4 per cent in June 2025, the lowest in nine quarters. While that in Nifty 50 saw a sharper decline to a 23-year low of 40.2 percent— mainly due to a decline in private Indian and government promoters .
At the same time, the government’s share in listed companies showed a mixed trend — inching up modestly in the broader market to 10.1 per cent but slipping in the Nifty 50 to 6.7 per cent, its lowest level in six quarters. The uptick in the broader universe was aided by PSU banks’ strong performance, with the Nifty PSU Bank Index rising 15 per cent in the June quarter.
FPIs prefer Nifty
Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have continued to cut their overall stake due to global volatility, down to 17.3 per cent – the lowest in 13.5 years. Their portfolios became more concentrated in financials and communication services, while remaining cautious on staples, energy, materials, and staying bearish on industrials.
However, FPIs showed a clear preference for scale and resilience, lifting their ownership in the Nifty 50 to a six-quarter high of 24.5 per cent. Their holding in Nifty 500 stayed broadly steady at 18.5 percent.
MFs surge
In sharp contrast, domestic mutual funds (DMFs) climbed to a fresh record share of 10.6 per cent in NSE-listed companies, and 13 per cent in the Nifty 50. This was powered by strong retail participation through systematic investment plans (SIPs), which averaged ₹26,863 crore a month in Q1FY26 — up nearly 29 per cent from a year earlier.
Active funds expanded their share to 8.6 percent, while passive funds held steady at 1.9 per cent. DMFs have also realigned closer to benchmark indices: trimming overweight exposure to large financials, easing their underweight stance on consumer staples, and turning positive on materials and smaller consumer durables, even as they grew cautious on energy.
For the third consecutive quarter, domestic institutional ownership stayed ahead of FPIs, widening the lead to levels not seen since 2003.
Retail rise
Individual investors’ direct ownership ticked up to 9.6 per cent, led by continued preference for mid- and small-cap stocks. While they registered net outflows of ₹13,136 crore during the quarter, the rotation toward smaller companies kept their overall share intact.
When combined with mutual fund investments, retail investors now own a record 18.5 per cent of market capitalisation, surpassing FPIs for the third straight quarter. Just a decade ago, in March 2014, FPIs commanded an 11 percentage point lead over households— a gap that has not only closed but turned negative at -1.2 percentage points this June.

The American beverage firm Keurig Dr. Pepper plans to buy JDE Peet’s, the European parent company of California’s gourmet coffee trailblazer, Peet’s Coffee, in an all-cash transaction worth about $18 billion.
Keurig Dr. Pepper will be split into two independent companies, one of which will focus on coffee, according to a Monday release.
The new coffee company will be called Global Coffee Co. and will be publicly traded in the U.S., as will the beverage company, which will be called Beverage Co. Global Coffee Co. will have approximately $16 billion in combined annual sales and Beverage Co. will have more than $11 billion in annual net sales, the release said.
“Today’s announcement marks a transformational moment in the beverage industry,” said Keurig Dr. Pepper Chief Executive Tim Cofer in a statement. “Through the complementary combination of Keurig and JDE Peet’s, we are seizing an exceptional opportunity to create a global coffee giant.”
Under the terms of the deal, Keurig Dr. Pepper will pay JDE Peet’s shareholders 31.85 euros per share in cash, equivalent to about $37 per share. The value is a 33% premium to JDE Peet’s 90-day volume-weighted average stock price.
After the deal was announced, JDE Peet’s shares climbed more than 15%. Keurig Dr. Pepper shares fell more than 10%.
According to JDE Peet’s half-year report released in July, sales for the company grew more than 19% over the past year.
Along with Peet’s Coffee, JDE Peet’s owns popular brands including Stumptown Coffee Roasters and German coffee name Jacobs. Peet’s Coffee has made a name for itself as a San Francisco-based destination that helped bring dark, gourmet coffee to American consumers.
After working at his father’s small coffee company in the Netherlands, Alfred Peet moved to the U.S. and in 1966 opened the first Peet’s Coffee shop in the Bay Area, near UC Berkeley.
“I came to the richest country in the world, so why are they drinking the lousiest coffee?” Peet used to say, according to the Peet’s Coffee website.
By 1971, Peet was training three young entrepreneurs and provided them with the roasted beans to open their new venture, Starbucks. There are now more than 220 Peet’s Coffee shops in California and more than 40 in other states.
After the acquisition closes, Global Coffee Co. will have the world’s most expansive coffee portfolio, the release said, including $1-billion-plus revenue brands Keurig, Jacobs, L’OR and Peet’s. The acquisition and split into two companies will unwind the merger between Keurig and Dr. Pepper that closed in 2018.
“We are excited to join forces with Keurig to chart the future of global coffee by leveraging our combined portfolio of the world’s most beloved coffee brands,” said JDE Peet’s Chief Executive Rafa Oliveira in a statement.
Italian archaeologists recently gained rare insight into life during Ancient Rome when they found a multi-story apartment building built decades before the birth of Jesus Christ.
The discovery was announced by the Special Superintendency of Rome on Aug. 4. Construction crews were digging in Rome’s Piazza Venezia at the time as part of the Metro Line C subway project.
Officials say the structures spanned several eras of Italian history, as early as the end of the Republic period in the first century B.C.
ITALIAN ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNVEIL RARE 2,600-YEAR-OLD TOMB UNTOUCHED BY LOOTERS: ‘DOORWAY TO OUR ANCESTORS’
The site also contained homes from the Roman Imperial Era – the first to fourth centuries A.D. – as well as modern palaces that were destroyed in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Pictures show the buried ancient structures near the stately Victor Emmanuel II Monument in the piazza.

The real gem of the excavation was a multi-story complex that experts believe may have been used as an insula,or an apartment building.
The structure was likely used by ordinary Romans, The Guardian reported.

Fox News Digital reached out to officials for additional information about the structure.
Those close to the work said the site is like a palimpsest — a manuscript rewritten over time but still bearing traces of earlier text.
“Piazza Venezia reveals a complex palimpsest that makes it possible to study the topography of central Rome,” said the post, which was translated from Italian to English.

“The project, carried out under the scientific direction of the Special Superintendency of Rome, is progressing in full synergy with Metro C and Roma Metropolitane, without delays compared to the scheduled timeline.”

Daniela Porro, the special superintendent of Rome, commended the excavation in a statement.
“The great fascination of this excavation lies in the sumptuous palimpsest of different eras that has resurfaced before our eyes and must be enhanced in the future station,” she said.

The crackdown itself is not new. The Joe Biden administration, too, had tightened rules in response to public unease over high immigration, but under Trump, the pitch of restrictions has grown sharper. This has impacted many Indian aspirants with the American dream. Mint explores the latest trends in US visa issuances.
Study: Stalled ambitions
The hardest hit among US visa seekers are prospective students to the world’s largest economy. The number of US F-1 student visas issued to Indians fell by 31.2% year-on-year to just 11,484 between January and May 2025. This decline was significantly steeper than the 11.8% drop for Chinese students, a group that was the largest source of student visas during the same period. Overall, student visa issuances saw a 17% decline.
Beyond fewer issuances, the Trump administration has been more aggressive in terminating visas, even for minor violations. “The administration basically terminated the visa status of many students because of some (minor) violation in the past, even if it got dismissed, although it is no longer happening at present,” said Cyrus Mehta, founder, Cyrus D. Mehta & Partners, a New York-based immigration law firm.
Moreover, the outlook for the second half of 2025 remains bleak due to recent delays caused by a month-long pause on visa interviews and new social media vetting for all applicants.
Work: Hazy terrain
Indian nationals were issued 63,323 H-1B work visas during January to May 2025, which is 11.1% fewer than the same period in 2024. However, despite the decline, Indians continue to corner a lion’s share in this segment at 74.8% of all H-1B issuances. China (11.3%) and the Philippines (1.3%) are distant followers. The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows US employers to employ foreign workers in specialized occupations temporarily. The critics of the visa argue that it undercuts the employability of American workers; the supporters contend that it helps attract top global talent to the US.
The Trump administration, which has a motto of ‘Make America Great Again’ and promised more jobs for Americans, has been squeezing H-1B visa issuances. The US government steeply raised H-1B registration fees for 2025-26 and is also eyeing scrapping the existing lottery system in favour of salary-based selections that could put entry-level graduates at a disadvantage.
Travel: Still holding up
Visitor visas, largely used for tourism and business, have not faced similar disruptions yet. In fact, India became the biggest source market in the post-covid period and remained so until May 2025. Between October and May 2025, B-1/B-2 visa issuances to Indians rose 4.4% year-on-year to 684,613, even as the total number of visitors to the US fell 1.8% year-on-year during this period.
In recent years, more Indians have visited the US, which coincided with India’s post-pandemic travel boom. Before the pandemic, China was the largest source of visitors to the US; in the post-pandemic years, India overtook China. While in 2023-24 (October-September), Brazil saw the biggest travel visa issuances, India pulled through in 2024-25 (from October until May) to record the highest B-1/B-2 visa issuances.
However, going ahead, all travellers and students will have to cough up an additional $250 in visa fees, starting from October, which could impact the numbers.
Elite talent: Going strong
Despite the deterioration in the overall immigration situation in the US, opportunities remain for top talent—the crème de la crème. One such opportunity is through the O-1 visa pathway, a three-year temporary work visa for individuals who demonstrate extraordinary ability or achievement in their fields. This has gained traction among foreign nationals, including Indians. Though more costly and selective, it offers a path to work in the US without the precariousness of the H-1B lottery system.
And the issuance of O-1 visas is on the rise. Issuances to Indians climbed to 687 in January-May 2025, from just 198 in the same period in 2018. Out of the 8,202 visas issued in 2025, Indians were the third-largest nationality after the British (1,228) and the Chinese (707) in securing them.
Besides extraordinary talent, money can also open an easy pathway to the US. The Trump administration recently proposed the ‘Gold Card’ programme that offers to grant wealthy foreign nationals permanent residency and citizenship in exchange for a $5 million investment.
Economic impact: Future tense?
The second stint of the Trump administration has upended many previous policies, and the aggressive visa rules have led to sharp criticism from several quarters as well as legal challenges. Moreover, there is a sharp economic impact related to the curtailment of international students’ entry to the US. Preliminary projections from NAFSA: Association of International Educators, a US-based non-profit organization that tracks international education, suggest that the US could see over 170,000 fewer foreign students in 2025-26 (Oct-Sep). This could result in nearly $7 billion in lost revenue and cost the country 60,000 jobs in towns with local universities.
While Indians are still interested in pursuing education in the US, they are keeping other options open as well against the current backdrop. “Families are widening their horizons, with the UK, France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, Japan, and Singapore all emerging as strong considerations,” said Namita Mehta, president and partner at The Red Pen.
On the hunt for a truly large pizza oven capable of powering a proper pizza party? The Ooni Koda 2 Max is marked down 20% for Labor Day, bringing the price down to just $1,039. This massive oven has a 24×21 build plate, which Ooni says is capable of cooking two 12 inch pies side by side, or a pizzeria-sized 20 inch pie. It’s our favorite pizza oven for big families who are tired of tiny pies, or anyone looking for big, pizzeria-style slices at home.

A number of WIRED writers and editors use Ooni pizza ovens on a regular basis in their own homes, thanks to their ease of use, clean design, and options for multiple fuel sources. They also look particularly attractive on a backyard patio, with stainless steel shells and striking angles. While it varies between models, the Koda 2 Max has great heat consistency and high enough temperatures to get a proper crust.
While this monument to pizza-making is definitely appealing for big families and friend groups, it’s not for the faint-hearted. Ooni leverages in-house technology to distribute the heat evenly across the two massive pizza stones, which means a little bit of warm-up time before you can actually get cooking. While there’s a natural gas version of the oven, I was only able to select the propane version on the site, so your mileage may vary.
While it does include a fuel hose and two temperature probes, the Koda Max 2 doesn’t include a peel, so you’ll want to make sure you get one that’s big and sturdy enough for the task. It also weighs in at almost 100 pounds fully assembled, so if you want to avoid recruiting a friend or family member to move it, Ooni is also offering 20% off the waterproof cover.
Both deals will last until 11:59 PM PST on September 8th, so you’ve got a bit of time to decide whether you’re up to the challenge. If you’re not sure whether you need that much pizza all at once, make sure to check out our other favorite backyard pizza ovens.
KOD DIJABETESA je najvažnije pratiti zdravu prehranu i uskladiti obroke s terapijom, no jednako je bitno razumjeti kako određene vrste hrane mogu utjecati na lijekove.
“Lijekovi za dijabetes dizajnirani su da djeluju na vrlo specifičan način kako bi kontrolirali šećer u krvi”, objašnjava farmaceutkinja Elaina Rosario za EatingWell. Dodaje da hrana može promijeniti način na koji se lijek apsorbira ili koliko snažno djeluje.
Rebecca Emch, također farmaceutkinja, ističe da se interakcije razlikuju ovisno o vrsti lijeka, ali najčešće problem nastaje kada hrana djeluje suprotno njihovoj svrsi. “Ako uzmete lijek da snizi šećer, a zatim pojedete hranu koja ga brzo podiže, stvarate sukob u tijelu”, kaže ona.
Dakle, prema stručnjacima za zdravlje i prehranu, ovo je popis pet stvari koje se ne slažu dobro s vašim lijekovima za dijabetes.
Hrana bogata mastima
Iako nezasićene masti mogu biti korisne, previše zasićenih masti povećava rizik od dijabetesa tipa 2 i može utjecati na djelovanje lijekova. “Masna hrana usporava probavu i time odgađa brzinu djelovanja lijeka”, objašnjava nutricionistica Daria Zajac.
Primjeri su punomasni mliječni proizvodi, prerađeno meso, pržena i pečena hrana. Rosario napominje da masna jela također mogu pojačati nuspojave lijekova poput GLP-1 agonista, uključujući mučninu i probavne smetnje.
Hrana s dodanim šećerom
Slatkiši, gazirani sokovi, deserti i voćni sokovi otežavaju lijekovima stabilizaciju razine šećera. “Ne onemogućuju djelovanje metformina, ali čine puno težim održavanje stabilne razine glukoze”, kaže Emch.

Stručnjakinja za skrb i edukaciju o dijabetesu, dijetetičarka i nutricionistica Cari Riker dodaje da je bolje birati cjelovite izvore ugljikohidrata bogate vlaknima, poput graha, leće, cjelovitih žitarica i voća. “Kvaliteta i količina ugljikohidrata su važne”, naglašava ona.
Visoko prerađeni ugljikohidrati
Bijeli kruh, zaslađene žitarice, peciva i slična hrana mogu uzrokovati nagli porast šećera. “Ako uzimate inzulin ili lijek koji djeluje uz obrok, taj nagli skok otežava ravnotežu i može dovesti do naglog pada”, kaže Rosario. Joshua J. Neumiller iz Američkog udruženja za dijabetes (ADA) preporučuje biranje minimalno prerađenih izvora ugljikohidrata koji sadrže vlakna.
Kofein
Lijekovi iz skupine SGLT2 inhibitora djeluju tako da višak šećera izbacuju putem urina. Budući da kofein također ima diuretski učinak, prekomjerno konzumiranje može pojačati taj učinak. Preporučuje se ne prelaziti 400 miligrama kofeina dnevno, što je otprilike tri do četiri šalice kave.
Alkohol
“Osobe koje uzimaju lijekove za dijabetes trebaju ograničiti alkohol”, upozorava Zajac. Alkohol povećava rizik od hipoglikemije, posebno kod onih koji koriste inzulin ili sulfonilureje, jer sprječava jetru da otpusti glukozu u krv. Riker dodaje da alkohol može pogoršati nuspojave metformina te povećati rizik od dehidracije i ozbiljnih komplikacija poput ketoacidoze kod onih na SGLT2 inhibitorima. ADA preporučuje najviše dva pića dnevno za muškarce i jedno za žene.
Za sigurnost, stručnjaci savjetuju pravilno usklađivanje obroka i lijekova, održavanje hidracije, kontrolu veličine porcija te redovito praćenje razine šećera pomoću glukometra. “Važno je surađivati s liječnikom ili farmaceutom kako biste razumjeli moguće nuspojave i bolje kontrolirali šećer u krvi”, zaključuje Riker.

U SKLONIŠTU za nezbrinute životinje Grada Zagreba (Dumovec) više od 60 pasa čeka udomljenje dulje od dvije godine. Zbog dugotrajnih boravaka Sklonište je pokrenulo kampanju “Kao da je vrijeme stalo”, u kojoj će svakoga dana do nedjelje predstaviti jednog od sedam pasa s najduljim stažem u Dumovcu.
Prvi je predstavljen Leska, desetogodišnja srednjoazijska ovčarka koja je u sklonište stigla prije tri godine, a tjedan će završiti pričom o Oscaru, osmogodišnjem križancu koji je u Dumovcu od početka 2020. godine.
Godine u boksu troše i zdravlje i kapacitete
U skloništu ističu da se štenci i manji psi udomljavaju brže, dok krupniji i crni psi češće ostaju u drugom planu. Dugotrajni boravak u bučnom okruženju i bez stalnog skrbnika može narušiti mentalno zdravlje životinja, pa tim i volonteri uvode dodatne aktivnosti i mentalnu stimulaciju. Pritom dugotrajni stanari zauzimaju više od polovice smještajnih kapaciteta, što otežava prihvat novih pasa.
“Štenad i mali psi lakše se udomljavaju, no crni i veliki psi, nažalost, padaju u drugi plan… Za naše tzv. neslavne rekordere kao da je vrijeme stalo”, poručila je Tatjana Zajec, voditeljica Skloništa za nezbrinute životinje Grada Zagreba, dodajući da ni predan rad tima ni volontera ne mogu nadomjestiti ljubav i stabilnost doma.

“Neslavni rekorderi” vole ljude i žele šetnje
Svi psi koje kampanja ističe društveni su, dobri i željni igre i šetnje. Neki ne podnose društvo drugih pasa, dok bi većini odgovarao život u stanu ili kući s dvorištem izvan grada, ovisno o navikama i temperamentu.
U Dumovcu je trenutačno smješteno 110 pasa. Građani zainteresirani za udomljenje psa ili mačke mogu posjetiti Sklonište radnim danom od 11 do 13 te od 16 do 18 sati, subotom od 10 do 14 sati i nedjeljom od 10 do 12 sati.

JEDNA Zarina jakna osvojila je mnoge djevojke i postala viralna na TikToku – ne iznenađuje da je postala hit. Jakne od brušene kože bile su must-have prošle jeseni, a isti trend nastavlja se i ove sezone. Zara već ima nekoliko modela koji privlače pažnju, a za ovaj neke djevojke kažu da ih “podsjeća na YSL stil”. Toliko je popularna da se gotovo posvuda rasprodala.
“Prekrasna je”
“Super je”, “Sviđa mi se”, “Već se rasprodala u Portugalu i Španjolskoj”, “Model je prekrasan”, “Odmah sam je kupila”, “Obožava ovu jaknu, ali mi je preskupa”, “Opsjednuta sam svojom”, “Prekrasna je”, samo su neki od komentara na ovu jaknu na TikToku.
Jakna je izrađena od 100% antilop kože u bež nijansi. Ima duge rukave s manžetama i omčama na ramenima, a sprijeda dolazi s kombinacijom klasičnih džepova i onih s preklopom na prsima. Kopča se patentnim zatvaračem i dodatnim preklopom s pritisnim gumbima, što joj daje dozu robusnosti i casual šarma

Izgleda nošeno i ležerno
Još jedan adut ovog komada je to što izgleda nošeno i ležerno – detalj koji savršeno odgovara aktualnim modnim trendovima. Osim toga, vrlo je svestrana: odlično se uklapa uz elegantnije kombinacije poput haljina ili suknji, ali i uz ležerne outfite, primjerice s trapericama i običnom majicom.
Cijena joj je u Hrvatskoj bila 149 eura i brzo se rasprodala. Preostaje čekati da se vrati u ponudu ili posegnuti za sličnim modelima. Jedan drugi komad iz Zarine kolekcije također je privukao pažnju – krojem više podsjeća na sako nego na klasičnu jaknu, izrađen je od brušene kože u nešto tamnijoj smeđoj boji. Pogledajte ga ovdje.

Elon Musk’s younger brother Kimbal Musk has alleged that Elon Musk has not been paid for the last six to eight years by Tesla and that the world’s richest man “deserves to be paid.”
While speaking on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” last week, Kimbal Musk said, “I think my brother deserves to be paid.”
“He has zero pay for the past six to eight years. I don’t think that’s right. I’ll let Tesla shareholders make that decision, but I believe that it does need to be. He needs to be paid,” Kimbal added.
Earlier this month, Tesla granted an “interim” pay package of 96 million shares, valued at approximately $29 billion to keep the billionaire as its CEO. Musk will be able to claim the award if he continues to be the CEO of Tesla for another two years.
The package was approved in a special committee of the Tesla board where Elon and Kimbal Musk had recused themselves.
Notably, the Tesla board had to design a new pay package for Musk after the Delaware court revoked his $56 billion package from 2018.
Last year Musk said that he wanted even more control over Tesla or he would prefer to build products outside of the company.
“I am uncomfortable growing Tesla to be a leader in AI & robotics without having ~25% voting control. Enough to be influential, but not so much that I can’t be overturned. Unless that is the case, I would prefer to build products outside of Tesla.” Musk wrote in a post on X.
As it turns out, Musk has gone on to develop his products outside of Tesla. He started an AI startup called xAI, which makes the Grok AI chatbot, and later merged it with his social media platform X. Over the past few months, Musk has devoted his time to talking about the new feature launches for Grok and what the upcoming updates would entail for the chatbot.
Musk also said last week that he was starting a new startup called “Macrohard,” which would replicate much of the products offered by Microsoft using AI. Not much is known about the startup other than what Musk explained in his post.
“In principle, given that software companies like Microsoft do not themselves manufacture any physical hardware, it should be possible to simulate them entirely with AI.” Musk said in his post.
New offerings from directors Assayas, Guillermo del Toro, Yorgos Lanthimos and Kathryn Bigelow are vying for the top prize at the festival, which opens Wednesday evening with a love story from Venice regular Paolo Sorrentino.
Sorrentino, best known for “La Grande Belleza” (“The Great Beauty”), has teamed up again with longtime collaborator Toni Servillo for “La Grazia”, set in their native Italy.
Greece’s Lanthimos and Stone — who worked together on the Oscar-winning “Poor Things” — reunite again for sci-fi “Bugonia” about a high-powered executive kidnapped by people who think she is an alien.
“Frankenstein” is a big-budget interpretation of the cinema classic from Mexico’s del Toro, starring Oscar Isaac.
The latest from Bigelow (“Zero Dark Thirty”, “The Hurt Locker”) is “A House of Dynamite”, a political thriller starring Idris Elba. Both films are to be streamed on Netflix.
Fellow American director Jarmusch makes his debut in the main Venice lineup with “Father, Mother, Sister, Brother”, which he has called “a funny and sad film” starring Cate Blanchett, Adam Driver and Jarmusch regular Tom Waits.
Included in the main competition is also the latest documentary from Italy’s Gianfranco Rosi, “Sotto le Nuvole” (“Below the Clouds”), a black-and-white ode to Naples.
Out-of-competition documentaries include Sofia Coppola’s profile of fashion designer Marc Jacobs; the latest from former Golden Lion winner Laura Poitras about veteran US investigative journalist Seymour Hersh; and a profile of British singer Marianne Faithfull from filmmaking team Jane Pollard and Iain Forsyth.
GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals said it is bringing in Jemperli (dostarlimab) and Zejula (niraparib) to India, marking its re-entry into the cancer drugs segment in the country. The two oncology products would be brought at a “tiered pricing” for India, executives with the multinational company said.
GSK had a sizable asset in the past, said Bhushan Akshikar, Managing Director, GSK India, referring to its global $ 20 billion-plus asset-swap with Novartis (2014), that had also played out in India.
GSK’s oncology portfolio was swapped with Novartis vaccines portfolio, about a decade ago. In India, it was about ₹140 crore when divested, he said, adding that the focus now is on precision medicines, while rebuilding this portfolio. The first two oncology products would be imported, officials said, without divulging the price.
Pointing out that there was also a patient assistance programme (Phoenix). Akshikar, said, the product had been priced keeping the India patient at the core.
Jemperli is a PD-1 immunotherapy indicated for the second-line treatment of advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer, in India, and it works by blocking the PD-1 pathway – a mechanism cancer cells use to evade immune detection, the company said.
Endometrial cancer is a malignancy arising out of the endometrium, the inner lining of the uterus, the company said, adding that about a fourth of endometrial cancer patients in India are at an advanced stage. At this stage, chemotherapy remains a standard treatment, though associated with toxicity and poor long-term outcomes, it said.
Zejula is indicated in advanced ovarian cancer, in India. It offers a once-daily oral dose. Gynaecological cancers are among the most common cancers in women in India and are on the rise, the company said, pointing out that endometrial and ovarian cancers are among the top three gynecological cancers in India.
Dr Shalini Menon, Executive Vice President – Medical Affairs, GSK India, said gynaecological cancers represented a growing growing concern in women over 50 years, and with obesity and metabolic syndrome.
“Jemperli introduces immunotherapy into the treatment paradigm for advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer, offering a targeted option for patients with dMMR (mismatch repair-deficient) tumours. Zejula expands access to a convenient, first-line maintenance therapy in advanced ovarian cancer.”
Both molecules are supported by global clinical evidence and approvals from over 40 countries including the United States, United Kingdom and European Union, GSK said.
In India, GSK is participating in ongoing oncology clinical trials aimed to extend the indication of dostarlimab to other cancers including non-small cell lung, head and neck and colorectal, the company added.
Work is part of God’s good design: “The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.” (Genesis 2:15)
After creating our world, God placed the first human, Adam, in the Garden of Eden “to work it and take care of it.” God designed us to work, not to be idle, so working hard is good. From the very beginning of creation, God trusted us with the important responsibility of taking care of his creation. Originally – in Eden, before the world’s fall – the work Adam and his wife Eve did was enjoyable and fulfilling for them. Their labor served a clear purpose, which was to care for the garden’s beautiful life. Then after sin corrupted our world, our experience with work changed. Genesis 3:17-19 records that after Adam and Eve sinned, God said work would become “painful toil” (verse 17). So now, work can be stressful for us. But the underlying dignity of work still exists. God’s original plan for work as a way for us to care for his world is still important. Every time we do any kind of work, we’re participating in that original calling from God.
Jesus is our ultimate boss: “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” (Colossians 3:23-24)
It’s easy to see our boss, clients, or customers as the people we ultimately work for. But the Bible reminds us that while we may have earthly supervisors, our ultimate boss is Jesus Christ. When we work wholeheartedly, we’re working as an act of service to God. It doesn’t matter whether or not our human supervisors notice or appreciate our efforts, because God does. Even if we’re working in environments where we’re not being recognized or are being criticized, we can still work faithfully because we’re motivated by our love for Jesus. When we focus on our ultimate boss, we can be inspired to work as a way to worship. Every task we do in our everyday labor can be an offering to God, regardless of how important the people who supervise us think it is.
An ancient baptistery was recently unearthed in France – and archaeologists say the discovery sheds light on Christian rituals from over 1,500 years ago.
The baptistery, dating back to the fifth and sixth centuries A.D., was found next to an ancient cathedral in Vence, a commune less than 10 miles west of Nice. While the cathedral was discovered earlier this year, the baptistery was only uncovered this summer.
Fabien Blanc Garidel, the supervising archaeologist on the project, confirmed the discovery to Fox News Digital.
ITALIAN ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNVEIL RARE 2,600-YEAR-OLD TOMB UNTOUCHED BY LOOTERS: ‘DOORWAY TO OUR ANCESTORS’
In an email translated from French to English, the historian described the baptistery as a “circular building, likely surrounded by a colonnade and covered.”
Blanc Garidel noted that “at the center, the baptismal font is octagonal on the outside and cross-shaped on the inside. It is bordered by a decorative coating made of béton de tuileau, a Roman concrete using crushed tile.”

Blanc Garidel estimated the baptistery to be 1,500 to 1,600 years old.
It is located in front of the forecourt of the cathedral, which was a common layout at the time.
Pictures show archaeologists working near the ancient cross-shaped structure.
ARCHAEOLOGIST UNEARTHS MYSTERIOUS CHRISTIAN SETTLEMENT HIDDEN AWAY FOR CENTURIES
The foundation of the baptistery, Blanc Garidel said, is the only relic that remains – but the font, or the baptism receptacle, is “in very good condition.”
“This discovery confirms the antiquity of the bishopric of Vence and enhances our knowledge of early Christian religious practices in the Alpes-Maritimes and Provence.”
He said the recent excavation helps show how early the diocese of Vence was established.
“This discovery confirms the antiquity of the bishopric of Vence and enhances our knowledge of early Christian religious practices in the Alpes-Maritimes and Provence,” he said.
The site has yielded evidence of more than six centuries of Christian activity, from the fifth to 11th centuries.(F. Blanc Garidel / SANCA)
“However, much work and analysis remain to be done in the coming months to provide further details.”
Several burials were uncovered in the cathedral’s nave, he also said.
The tombs were built using pitched Roman roof tiles, a method typical of the time.

“All of these burials are likely those of religious figures (bishops or canons) from the Carolingian period,” he said.
“Radiocarbon dating will help clarify the timeline.”

Overall, the archaeologist said, the excavation sheds light on over six centuries of construction – and even revealed a Roman dwelling under the cathedral.
“One of the most significant aspects of this discovery is that the preserved archaeological structures offer insight into the history of this monument over six centuries (5th–11th centuries),” he said.

“The cathedral was demolished in the 11th century to build a new one right next to it.”
“After it was abandoned, two bell molds were installed in the nave of the old cathedral – likely to cast bells for the new one.”
“This discovery confirms the antiquity of the bishopric of Vence and enhances our knowledge of early Christian religious practices in the Alpes-Maritimes and Provence,” said Fabien Blanc Garidel, who supervised the excavation.(F. Blanc Garidel / SANCA)
The discovery is among several recent finds offering new insight into early Christianity in Europe.
Last year, historians unveiled a silver inscription representing the earliest-known evidence of Christianity north of the Alps.

The short answer is price, performance, and usability. Most regular folks who ask me about a new TV are looking for something around $500 or less. Jumping up a few hundred dollars can often get you a lot more performance, but I understand that may not be in the budget, so this list generally aims for TVs at or below that magic number. To get there, we sometimes sacrifice size, often recommending 55-inch models rather than the 65-inch size that’s becoming the industry standard. Not everyone needs a larger screen, and the larger you go, the more you’ll notice performance imperfections.
As TVs get increasingly bigger, it’s also getting harder to find good TVs smaller than 55-inches, especially if you want features like High Dynamic Range and quantum dot colors that make for a much more vibrant and impactful picture. These features often go hand-in-hand with 4K resolution, so while you may not mind getting an HDTV at smaller sizes, all the TVs we’ve recommended offer 4K resolution. Wherever possible, we look for models that offer various size options to cater to all buyers and use cases.
KAVA je mnogima omiljeni napitak i poznato je da već sama po sebi donosi niz koristi za koncentraciju i energiju. No, postoji jednostavan način da se njezin učinak pojača, a uz to obogati i okus. Ova kombinacija ujedinjuje prirodne spojeve iz obje namirnice i može imati snažan učinak na raspoloženje, mozak i zdravlje srca.
Riječ je o dodavanju male količine kakaa u kavu. Flavonoidi i kofein zajedno stvaraju sinergiju. “Kakao je bogat polifenolima, ponajprije flavanolima, a brojni blagotvorni učinci pripisuju se upravo tim spojevima”, navodi pregled istraživanja o utjecaju kakaa na zdravlje, prenosi Vogue.
Pokazalo se da konzumacija kakaa može smanjiti rizik od kardiovaskularnih bolesti, metaboličkih poremećaja i upala te povoljno djelovati na živčani sustav i kožu.
Kakao potiče proizvodnju endorfina, serotonina i dopamina
Osim antioksidativnog djelovanja, spoj kofeina iz kave i teobromina iz kakaa pomaže u održavanju stabilne energije i bistre koncentracije. “Kakao prah i čokolada sadrže velik udio flavonoida koji pozitivno djeluju na mozak”, navodi jedno istraživanje o neuroprotektivnim učincima kakaa.

Također, kakao potiče proizvodnju endorfina, serotonina i dopamina, a tamna čokolada može imati i prebiotički učinak na crijevni mikrobiom, što dodatno utječe na raspoloženje.
Za srce, flavonoidi iz kakaa dokazano pomažu smanjiti krvni tlak, poboljšati funkciju krvnih žila i povećati razinu “dobrog” HDL kolesterola.
“Istraživanja pokazuju da flavonoidi iz namirnica poput kakaa, jabuka, čaja i bobičastog voća imaju neuroprotektivne učinke”, navodi jedan znanstveni pregled. Stručnjaci savjetuju da se u šalicu kave doda do jedne žličice čistog, nezaslađenog kakaa, najbolje nakon što se kava malo ohladi, kako bi se očuvali flavonoidi.

KORISNICA Instagrama Trisha Taggart prije četiri tjedna podijelila je snimku opasnog susreta s divljom životinjom koji je mogao završiti kobno.
Naime, Taggart je sa skupinom posjetitelja šetala Nacionalnim parkom Grand Teton u američkoj saveznoj državi Wyoming, kada je jedan turist odlučio testirati svoju hrabrost i nepromišljeno se približio kanadskom jelenu (wapitiju).
Na snimci možemo vidjeti kako jelen mirno pase travu sve dok mu u jednom trenutku ne priđe turist koji ga želi otjerati dalje u šumu. Jelen je brzo spustio glavu i krenuo prema muškarcu, kao da se priprema za juriš, a uplašeni turist je naglo pobjegao.
“Odlučila sam nazvati ovu snimku ‘Idiot u divljini'”, našalila se Taggart u opisu objave.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Pravila postoje s razlogom
Prema sigurnosnim smjernicama Nacionalnog parka Grand Teton, posjetitelji se trebaju držati na udaljenosti od najmanje 22 metara od divljih životinja i nipošto ih ne smiju hraniti niti provocirati, piše Yahoo! News. Takvi incidenti ne samo da ugrožavaju ljude, već i same životinje, jer ako dođe do ozbiljnog sukoba, posljedice često snose upravo one, što nerijetko završava eutanazijom.
U ovom slučaju, nastradao je samo ponos nepromišljenog turista, ali mnogi drugi slični susreti u američkim nacionalnim parkovima imali su puno ozbiljnije ishode.
Korisnici Instagrama ostali su zatečeni ponašanjem turista, ali su jasno izrazili na čijoj su strani. “Navijam za jelena”, napisao je jedan komentator, dok je drugi dodao: “Je li on stvarno pokušao reći jelenu da se makne?”
Ovaj neobični susret još jednom je podsjetio javnost da prirodu treba promatrati s poštovanjem, a ne je tretirati kao kulisu za osobne avanture.

The craze for ChatGPT has only increased with every successive model launch, with its GPT-4o native image generation feature going so far as leading a viral Ghibli-style image generation trend earlier this year. While OpenAI’s GPT-5 launch hasn’t gone as planned, the company still continues to be among the most popular in the market with over 700 million weekly active users.
However, there could be a dramatic increase in ChatGPT’s subscriber base if a new report by The Guardian is to be believed. The Microsoft-backed AI startup is said to be in talks with the U.S. government to give the whole country a ChatGPT Plus subscription, which costs $20/month.
Reportedly, Sam Altman and UK technology secretary Peter Kyle had recently discussed a multibillion-pound deal to give all UK citizens access to the ChatGPT Plus tier. While ChatGPT is accessible to all users without a subscription as well, the usage limit is lower and some features like personalities, Sora video generator, and AI agents are restricted behind a paywall.
The report, while citing two sources, states that this idea was floated as part of a broader discussion in San Francisco about the opportunities for collaboration between OpenAI and the UK government.
However, the UK technology secretary did not reportedly take the idea seriously because it could have cost as much as £2bn to the government.Kyle had previously dined with Altman in March, April, and in July he signed an agreement with OpenAI to give the UK’s public services access to the company’s AI.
The secretary has been a big champion of AI within the government and reports had emerged in March from ChatGPT on a lot of work-related questions, including why British businesses were not adopting AI and what podcasts he should appear on.
“ChatGPT is fantastically good, and where there are things that you really struggle to understand in depth, ChatGPT can be a very good tutor for it,” Kyle told PoliticsHome in January.
The British government is reportedly looking to attract AI investment from the U.S. and has already struck a deal with many of OpenAI’s rivals like Google and Anthropic.Meanwhile, OpenAI has been in talks with several governments over the past few months to provide its paid subscriptions.
This movie sees you play Anna as a mother and Anna after she has switched bodies with her teenage daughter. Does that ever get confusing for you?
There are times when you get a little confused, and you have to refer to the script, just to check
Were you able to draw on your own experience as a mother as part of your performance?
No. My son is so young, so we’re a long way off the teenage years yet. I am a big sister to three siblings, so I was able to draw on that a little bit. But mainly, I took a lot of inspiration from Jamie Lee Curtis and how she played Tess as a mother.
How was it getting to work with Jamie Lee Curtis again?
It was so fun. We wanted to do this for so many years, so to finally be back on set together as mother and daughter was so exciting. Any time I get to spend with Jamie is special. We have a lot of trust in each other. She is so kind and wise. It’s really hard to find people like that in life.
What was it getting to reunite Anna’s band, Pink Slip, for the movie?
Amazing. It was one of the best moments of making this movie. To be there with us all back together was just the best. It was like we had never been apart.
Samvardhana Motherson International (SAMIL) is all set for another year of outperformance on the back of revenue diversification aimed at accelerating incremental growth from high volumes markets like India, Mexico, Japan and China (about 35 per cent of topline); successful integration of recent acquisitions, SOP for consumer electronics and Aerospace ramp up, Japanese supplier network breakthroughs beyond Honda (Yachio + Ichikoh + Atsumitec); and growing contribution from emerging verticals (lightings, aerospace and consumer electronics).
The strategy of 3CX10 achieved on customer while making progress underway on component and country. SAMIL aims to maintain a balanced global footprint with over 50 per cent of revenues from emerging markets achieved in FY25. Further, presence in high-growth areas like India, Mexico, and parts of Asia is deepening, and non-automotive businesses are also gaining traction
The ongoing tariff issue may trigger a near-term slowdown in a few key geographies but the same to be navigated through new programme launches. We build in revenue/EBITDA/PAT CAGR of 10-14 per cent. It currently trades at 25.5x/20.9x FY26E/FY27E consolidated EPS.
We reiterate a Buy with revised TP of ₹118, valuing the company at 24x Mar’27E EPS.
A suero is a “water cocktail,” consisting of lime juice, ice and sparkling mineral water, all served in a tall glass with a salted rim. The same word is used for an IV of fluids in Mexico, and the two serve the same purpose: to keep you healthy and hydrated. Use whatever mineral water you like. Agua de Piedra is my favorite.
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 day on the water turned into a dramatic rescue Saturday as boaters were saved from rough seas off the coast of southern Florida.
The U.S. Coast Guard (USGC), along with the local fire department, responded to a distress call at 1:42 p.m. ET in Miami-Dade County. A 20-foot boat with eight people aboard requested assistance when they were low on fuel and taking on water in rough seas, according a Miami-Dade Fire Rescue (MDFR) Instagram post.

Anna University
Anna University is in Chennai, and was established on September 4, 1978 as a unitary type of university. It was named after Late DR CN Annadurai, the former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister.
Anna University offers education in Engineering Technology, Architecture and Applied Sciences besides other courses.
Insta360 X3 for $250: You’ll have to settle for 5.7K footage here, and that’s on a 1/2-inch sensor, which is only 1080p when you crop to a rectangular video format. Still, you get nearly the same form factor as the X4, and you can use it as a 4K, single-lens action cam. At this price the X3 remains a viable option for those wanting to dabble in 360 video without spending a fortune.
Insta360 One RS for $300: The company’s interchangeable-lens action-camera/360-camera hybrid is another option. The video footage isn’t as good as the other cameras in this guide, but you can swap the lens and have an action camera in a moment, which is the major selling point. That said, now that the X3 and X4 can also be used as 4K action cameras, the One RS is less tempting than it used to be. Still, if you like the action-camera form factor but want to be able to shoot 360 footage as well, this One RS is a great camera. The real combo would be the the 360 lens paired with the Leica lens, but the price for that combo is considerably higher.
GoPro Max for $822: GoPro’s entry into the 360 camera world, the Max is a capable action camera, featuring 6K video in a waterproof form factor with industry-leading stabilization. It’s got all the shooting modes you know from your GoPro, like HyperSmooth, TimeWarp, PowerPano, and more. Like the X4, there’s a single-lens mode (called Hero mode), and, my favorite part, the Max is compatible with most GoPro mounts and accessories. The main reason the Max is not one of our top picks is that the Max 2 is likely coming very soon. If you want a Max, you’re better off waiting.
Qoocam 3 Ultra for $599: It’s not widely available, and we have not had a chance to try one, but Kandao’s Qoocam 3 Ultra is another 8K 360 camera that looks promising, at least on paper. The f/1.6 aperture is especially interesting, as most of the rest of these are in the f/2 and up range. We’ll update this guide when we’ve had a chance to test a Qoocam.
360 Cameras to Avoid
Insta360 One X2 for $230: Insta360’s older X2 is different from the X3 that replaced it. The form factor is less convenient. (The screen is tiny; you pretty much have to use it with a phone). It still shoots 5.7K video, but it’s not as well stabilized nor is it anywhere near as sharp as the X3 or X4. Unless you can get it for well under $200, the X2 is not worth buying.
Insta360 One RS 1 360 Edition: Although I still like and use this camera, it appears to have been discontinued, and there’s no replacement in sight. The X5 delivers better video quality in a lighter, less fragile body, but I will miss those 1-inch sensors that managed to pull a lot of detail, even if the footage did top out at 6K. These are still available used, but at outrageous prices. You’re better off with the X5.
Frequently Asked Questions
There are two reasons you’d want a 360-degree camera. The first is to shoot virtual reality content, where the final viewing is done on a 360 screen, e.g., VR headsets and the like. So far this is mostly the province of professionals who are shooting on very expensive 360 rigs not covered in this guide, though there is a growing body of amateur creators as well. If this is what you want to do, go for the highest-resolution camera you can get. Either of our top two picks will work.
For most of us though, the main appeal of a 360 camera is to shoot everything around you and then edit or reframe to the part of the scene we want to focus on, or panning and tracking objects within the 360 footage, but with the result being a typical, rectangular video that then gets exported to the web. The video resolution and image quality will never match what you get from a high-end DSLR, but the DSLR might not be pointed at the right place, at the right time. The 360 camera doesn’t have to be pointed anywhere, it just has to be on.
This is the best use case for the cameras on this page, which primarily produce HD (1080p) or better video—but not 4K—when reframed. I expect to see 12K-capable consumer-level 360 cameras in the next year or two (which is what you need to reframe to 4K), but for now, these are the best cameras you can buy.
Whether you’re shooting virtual tours or your kid’s birthday, the basic premise of a 360 camera is the same. The fisheye lens (usually two very wide-angle lenses combined) captures the entire scene around you, ideally editing out the selfie stick if you’re using one. Once you’ve captured your 360-degree view, you can then edit or reframe that content down to something ready to upload to YouTube, TikTok, and other video-sharing sites.
Why Is High Resolution Important in 360 Cameras?
Camera makers have been pushing ever-higher video resolution for so long it feel like a gimmick in many cases, but not with 360 cameras. Because the camera is capturing a huge field of view, the canvas if you will, is very large. To get a conventional video from that footage you have to crop which zooms in on the image, meaning your 8K 360 shot becomes just under 2.7K when you reframe that footage.
How Does “Reframing” Work?
Reframing is the process of taking the huge, 360-degree view of the world that your camera capture and zooming in on just a part of it to tell your story. This makes the 360 footage fit traditional movie formats (like 16:9), but as noted above it means cropping your footage, so the higher resolution you start with the better your reframed video will look.
If you’re shooting for VR headsets or other immersive tools then you don’t have to reframe anything.
I’ve been shooting with 360 cameras since Insta360 released the X2 back in 2020. Early 360 cameras were fun, but the video they produced wasn’t high enough resolution to fit with footage from other cameras, limiting their usefulness. Thankfully we’ve come a long way in the last five years. The 360 camera market has grown and the footage these cameras produce is good enough to mix seamless with your action camera and even your high end mirrorless camera footage.
To test 360 cameras I’ve broken the process down into different shooting scenarios, especially scenes with different lighting conditions, to see how each performs. No camera is perfect, so which one is right for you depends on what you’re shooting. I’ve paid special attention to the ease of use of each camera (360 cameras can be confusing for beginners), along with what kind of helpful extras each offers, HDR modes, and support for accessories.
The final element of the picture is the editing workflow and tools available for each camera. Since most people are shooting for social media, the raw 360 footage has to be edited before you post it anywhere. All the cameras above have software for mobile, Windows and macOS.

KAVA je mnogima omiljeni napitak i poznato je da već sama po sebi donosi niz koristi za koncentraciju i energiju. No, postoji jednostavan način da se njezin učinak pojača, a uz to obogati i okus. Ova kombinacija ujedinjuje prirodne spojeve iz obje namirnice i može imati snažan učinak na raspoloženje, mozak i zdravlje srca.
Riječ je o dodavanju male količine kakaa u kavu. Flavonoidi i kofein zajedno stvaraju sinergiju. “Kakao je bogat polifenolima, ponajprije flavanolima, a brojni blagotvorni učinci pripisuju se upravo tim spojevima”, navodi pregled istraživanja o utjecaju kakaa na zdravlje, prenosi Vogue.
Pokazalo se da konzumacija kakaa može smanjiti rizik od kardiovaskularnih bolesti, metaboličkih poremećaja i upala te povoljno djelovati na živčani sustav i kožu.
Kakao potiče proizvodnju endorfina, serotonina i dopamina
Osim antioksidativnog djelovanja, spoj kofeina iz kave i teobromina iz kakaa pomaže u održavanju stabilne energije i bistre koncentracije. “Kakao prah i čokolada sadrže velik udio flavonoida koji pozitivno djeluju na mozak”, navodi jedno istraživanje o neuroprotektivnim učincima kakaa.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Također, kakao potiče proizvodnju endorfina, serotonina i dopamina, a tamna čokolada može imati i prebiotički učinak na crijevni mikrobiom, što dodatno utječe na raspoloženje.
Za srce, flavonoidi iz kakaa dokazano pomažu smanjiti krvni tlak, poboljšati funkciju krvnih žila i povećati razinu “dobrog” HDL kolesterola.
“Istraživanja pokazuju da flavonoidi iz namirnica poput kakaa, jabuka, čaja i bobičastog voća imaju neuroprotektivne učinke”, navodi jedan znanstveni pregled. Stručnjaci savjetuju da se u šalicu kave doda do jedne žličice čistog, nezaslađenog kakaa, najbolje nakon što se kava malo ohladi, kako bi se očuvali flavonoidi.

JESTE li se ikada zapitali kako bi izgledao susret mopsa i stada znatiželjnih krava? Odgovor donosi preslatki TikTok video koji je sredinom kolovoza objavila korisnica Brittan_Hutchings, a koji je ubrzo postao viralni hit.
Video je u kratkom roku prikupio više od 91 tisuću pregleda i tisuće lajkova, a korisnici društvenih mreža oduševljeni su kaotičnom, ali simpatičnom interakcijom.
Jednostrana svađa
Na snimci vidimo mopsa kako samouvjereno prilazi ogradi pašnjaka na kojem se nalazi stado krava. Krave, očito zaintrigirane malenim stvorenjem, prilaze kako bi ga bolje promotrile.
Međutim, mops nije bio raspoložen za sklapanje novih prijateljstava pa je počeo glasno lajati i otjerao ih je od ograde. Iako su se krave prvotno povukle, njihova znatiželja je prevladala.

Korisnici TikToka u komentarima su istaknuli kako je riječ o potpuno jednostranoj svađi, što situaciju čini još smješnijom, prenosi PetHelpful.

“Mopsovi su zaista neustrašivi. Moj se ničega ne boji,” podijelio je svoje iskustvo drugi korisnik.
“Kravama i dalje nije jasno što se događa”, napisao je treći.

OpenAI, the company behind popular generative AI chatbot ChatGPT, has warned its investors that they could lose their investment or may not see any returns in a post-AGI world. The company further stated that it may be difficult to know what kind of role money will play in a world where AGI has been achieved.
A warning on the OpenAI website, first reported by Business Insider, reads, “It may be difficult to know what role money will play in a post-AGI world.”
“Investing in OpenAI Global, LLC is a high-risk investment. Investors could lose their capital contribution and not see any return,” it adds.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s recent remarks also caused quite a stir when he suggested that the AI industry may be in a bubble.
“Are we in a phase where investors as a whole are overexcited about AI? My opinion is yes.” Altman told journalists last week.
In an interaction with CNBC, Altman further stated that foundation models may have already hit saturation, and they may not get better in the future.
“The models have already saturated the chat use case. They’re not going to get much better… And maybe they’re going to get worse,” Altman stated.
Meanwhile, OpenAI finalised a $40 billion funding round from SoftBank at a $300 billion valuation. OpenAI employees are also reportedly planning to sell their $6 billion worth of shares at a $500 billion valuation.
What is AGI?
AGI, or Artificial General Intelligence, is a hypothetical stage in the development of AI systems where the foundation model can perform any intellectual task as well as or better than a human can. Almost all AI companies have proclaimed that they will be the first to reach AGI with their technology, but the current AI systems are thought to be a long way off from that landmark.
Not only is there no agreed-upon definition of AGI, there is also no confirmed timeline on when this hypothetical stage will be reached. Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis has previously predicted that AGI is still 5-10 years away, while others, like Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, state that we could see some form of AGI by 2026.
LOS ANGELES: The “Dexter” prequel “Original Sin” has been cancelled by Paramount.
The news surfaced months after the announcement of the series renewal in April.
As reported by the entertainment news outlet The Hollywood Reporter, the series was on hiatus since production wrapped, and no start date for production on a second season was ever scheduled, despite the renewal.
The original “Dexter” ran for eight seasons on Showtime and starred Michael C Hall as the titular vigilante serial killer, ending in 2013.
The series was followed by two sequels, “Dexter: New Blood” in 2021 and “Dexter: Resurrection” in 2024, as well as the prequel “Dexter: Original Sin”.
While Hall reprised his role in the sequels, Patrick Gibson played Dexter Morgan in the prequel.
“When his bloodthirsty urges can’t be ignored any longer, Dexter must learn to channel his inner darkness. With the guidance of his father, Harry, he adopts a Code designed to help him find and kill people who deserve to be eliminated from society without getting on law enforcement’s radar. This is a particular challenge for young Dexter as he begins a forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department,” reads the prequel’s official description which is set in 1991.
Paramount is now focusing on working on a second season to “Dexter: Resurrection”.
The decision comes soon after the closing of the Skydance-Paramount merger.
“Dexter: Original Sin” was created by Clyde Phillips and also starred Christian Slater, Molly Brown, Christina Milian, James Martinez, Patrick Dempsey and Hall.
Markets snapped their six-session winning streak on Friday, with the Sensex plunging 693.86 points or 0.85 per cent to close at 81,306.85, while the Nifty 50 declined 213.65 points or 0.85 per cent to 24,870.10. The sharp selloff came as investors turned cautious ahead of US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s crucial speech at the Jackson Hole symposium and growing concerns over potential US tariffs on Indian goods.
Market sentiment deteriorated throughout the session, with the Nifty hitting an intraday low of 81,291.77 before recovering marginally by close. The benchmark index closed below the psychologically important 25,000 level, signalling a pause in the recent rally that had been fueled by optimism over GST reforms and S&P’s sovereign rating upgrade.
“The Indian equity market closed in the red today, ending a six-session winning streak and erasing gains accumulated over the past three days. Investor sentiment turned cautious ahead of the US Fed Chair’s speech at the Jackson Hole symposium, which is expected to provide critical insights into the global liquidity outlook and future interest rate trajectory,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Investments Limited.
The selloff was broad-based, with declining stocks outnumbering advancers 2,421 to 1,662 on the BSE, while 157 stocks remained unchanged. Out of 4,240 stocks traded, 151 hit their 52-week highs while 53 touched their 52-week lows. Six stocks hit the lower circuit, while none reached the upper circuit.
Banking stocks led the decline, with the Nifty Bank index falling 606.05 points or 1.09 per cent to 55,149.40. The Nifty Financial Services index dropped 256.30 points or 0.96 per cent to 26,317.05. HDFC Bank declined 1.34 per cent, Kotak Bank fell 1.55 per cent and Axis Bank dropped 0.74 per cent, indicating sectoral profit-taking after recent gains.
Among individual stocks, Mahindra & Mahindra emerged as the top Nifty gainer, rising 0.74 per cent to ₹3,400.10, followed by Maruti Suzuki, which gained 0.63 per cent to ₹14,370.00. Bharat Electronics Limited added 0.25 per cent to ₹375.15, while Bharti Airtel inched up 0.16 per cent to ₹1,933.00 and Titan gained a modest 0.07 per cent to ₹3,618.90.
On the losing side, Grasim Industries was the worst performer, tumbling 2.55 per cent to ₹2,807.80. Asian Paints declined 2.40 per cent to ₹2,505.00, while Adani Enterprises fell 2.28 per cent to ₹2,323.00. UltraTech Cement and Hero MotoCorp both dropped 2.06 per cent to ₹12,605.00 and ₹4,992.30 respectively.
“Concerns over impending 25 per cent US Tariffs, unsettled sentiment, with the White House Trade Advisor Peter Navarro warning that the secondary tariffs against Indian goods will kick in from August 27,” noted Sudeep Shah, Head – Technical Research and Derivatives at SBI Securities. “The US using trade tariffs on India as a strategic tool in its stance against Russia has raised near-term concerns among institutional investors.”
The broader market showed resilience compared to benchmark indices. The Nifty Midcap 100 declined marginally by 79.20 points or 0.14 per cent to 57,629.75, while the smallcap index also posted modest losses. The Nifty Next 50 fell 432.55 points or 0.64 per cent to 67,540.10.
Sectoral performance was mixed, with Nifty Media gaining 0.95 per cent and Pharma edging up 0.4 per cent. However, Metal, IT, FMCG, Oil & Gas, PSU Bank, Private Bank, and Realty indices slipped between 0.5 per cent and 1.25 per cent.
“The weakness was primarily driven by caution ahead of US Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole address and renewed concerns around global trade and geopolitical tensions, which dampened risk appetite,” said Ajit Mishra, SVP Research at Religare Broking. “Domestic profit-booking after the recent rally and a pause in fresh FPI inflows further weighed on sentiment.”
Technical analysts pointed to the formation of an evening star candle pattern on the daily chart, considered a bearish reversal signal. “The benchmark Nifty index snapped its 6-day gaining streak on Friday and gave a lower close on the daily chart. The Index has formed an evening star candle pattern on the daily chart, which is considered to be a bearish reversal signal,” observed Sudeep Shah.
The Indian rupee weakened by 0.25 paise to settle at 87.50 against the dollar despite initial gains on GST reduction news. “The rupee weakened by 0.25, settling at 87.50 after initially gaining on the GST reduction news, but the momentum faded as persistent FII selling pressure weighed on sentiment,” said Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst at LKP Securities.
Gold prices traded weak over the week, slipping nearly ₹800 as rupee appreciation and declining COMEX gold pressured domestic prices. “Gold prices traded range-bound to weak over the week, slipping by nearly ₹800 as rupee appreciation and a decline in COMEX gold from $3,400 last week pressured domestic prices,” Trivedi added.
Despite the weekly decline, the Nifty managed to gain approximately 1 per cent for the week, with the Sensex up around 700 points. “Global equity markets were mixed over the past one week, while the Indian equity markets outperformed most markets on a weekly basis. The Nifty 50 and the Sensex 30 indices inched ~1 per cent higher during the week,” noted Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research at Kotak Securities.
The auto sector was a standout performer for the week, rallying 5 per cent amid government plans for GST rationalisation. However, the defense index shed over 1 per cent during the same period.
Looking ahead, market participants will closely watch Powell’s Jackson Hole speech for clues on the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy trajectory. “Market focus now shifts to Powell’s speech at Jackson Hole, which is expected to guide the dollar index and thereby influence rupee direction,” said Trivedi.
Technical support for the Nifty is placed at 24,800-24,850 levels. “After a steady run-up, Nifty paused on Friday, suggesting a brief consolidation before the next leg higher. On the downside, support lies at 24,800; staying above this level keeps the trend intact with scope for an advance towards 25,000–25,250,” said Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities.
As markets head into the monthly expiry week, investors will keenly await not only Powell’s address but also India’s GDP data and US growth and inflation numbers, which could provide crucial direction for the coming sessions.
It’s sad to realize that the primary form of communication in our world today seems to be through online posts, mainly because social media can be a blessing or a curse, depending on how we as Christians participate and use it in our lives.
We can see and utilize it as an opportunity to love others by encouraging them, praying for them, sympathizing, empathizing, comforting and supporting others through the words, songs, and videos we post.
Or, on the other hand, if we’re not focused on speaking with love from a heart that’s surrendered to God, we can tear down, hurt, taunt, make fun of, and destroy others through our actions.
But being a Christian comes with God-given responsibilities, such as loving others. It’s pretty much the benchmark and theme of who we are called to be and known for on this earth.
After all, Jesus said in John 13:34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”
So, if we discover that we’re not loving one another online and known for our love towards each other, then we’re falling short of who God has called us to be on earth. Jesus says in John 13:35, “By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.”
As well, what does that say about our faith and our relationship with God? If we’re falling short, we need to reassess how we’re interacting with individuals online about what is behind our communications, keeping us from being known for our love for one another.
Don’t Do These 6 Things Online
In 1 Corinthians 16:14, the Apostle Paul urges us to “Do everything in love.”
His call, along with the Apostle Peter’s in 1 Peter 4:8 reminds us “Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.”
Still, as Christians, some of us can get swept up pretty fast in the potential of speaking to a wide audience, the thrill of voicing our opinions, and the various online dramas. Still, we want to remember Jesus’ words and keep love at the forefront of our online presence. Following is a Christian’s guide to speaking with love online, with six things to avoid doing.
Unbelievers like to point out how believers seem to be constantly arguing, fighting, and disputing issues between themselves. To the world around us, it doesn’t come across as being very loving and seems to only serve as a very poor witness to those who don’t know Christ.
1 Corinthians 1:11, “My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you”
It’s too easy for our opinions expressed online, whether stating a belief, thought, or response to someone else’s post, that our words are misunderstood. It happens all the time when a person’s words, meant to be thoughtful, are challenged or belittled, leading to an online war of words.
2 Timothy 2:14 urges us to “Keep reminding God’s people of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen.”
Romans 16:17-18 warns “I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people.”
If we read something or see a post that rubs us the wrong way, Proverb 10:19 encourages “When there are many words, wrongdoing is unavoidable, But one who restrains his lips is wise” (NASB).
Paul reminds us, too, in Ephesians 4:29 “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.”
As Christians, we are given the ministry of reconciliation, so whenever we seek to cause division rather than reconcile with people, we are out of the will of God. 2 Corinthians 5:18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.”
When we hear of individuals entrapped in sin, we don’t want to expose their sin publicly, offering them up to public ridicule. Or spread it around online by pointing it out, or even asking publicly for prayer, unless the person asks first publicly for prayers concerning their situation.
As Galatians 6:1 urges, “Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted.”
It’s wise to consider how we would want others to respond to us, or to our family, friends, and neighbors, if caught in sin. After all, haven’t we all sinned, as 1 John 1:10 explains “If we claim we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar and His word is not in us.”
As Romans 3:23 reminds us, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
Likewise, if someone sends us a private message that’s unkind or upsets us, God doesn’t want us to post openly what they said to us privately, revealing their sin to others. It’s spiritual immaturity to do so and often done to bring shame upon one another.
With the immediacy of online postings, it seems people can’t wait to share the latest news, whether good or bad, and individuals can wait to read the latest scoop.
But James 3:5-6 warns of the danger of an unbridled tongue, “Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell”
So small, yet so powerful, as James 3:8 describes, “But no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.”
In our world today, people are much more concerned about what they eat and put into their mouths, than what comes out of it, which sadly has created hostile and unfriendly online cultures, even in some Christian circles, where love is to be demonstrated.
Jesus cut right to the truth in exposing this sin of the mouth: “What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them” (Matthew 15:11).
Gossip and rumors are void of love and only bring heartache, as Proverbs 16:28 describes, “A perverse person stirs up conflict, and a gossip separates close friends.”
If we have a beef with someone, addressing it online is not where we should take our grievances. Even if we believe what we are saying is true, it’s wise to choose to love others over our own feelings.
James 4:11 warns, “Brothers and sisters, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against a brother or sister or judges them speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it.”
Over-and-over again, God’s word warns us, as Paul does in Ephesians 4:31 “Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.”
Again, because slander is a very serious sin even though many Christians nowadays don’t seem to believe it is, Colossians 3:8 warns, “But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.”
When wanting to slander someone, we can instead follow Hebrews 4:12, to let God’s words judge the thoughts and attitudes of our hearts. “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”

5. Don’t openly correct others online.
Sometimes the Holy Spirit nudges us to reach out and address someone about a post on social media. Rather than offer our unsolicited corrections publicly, we can contact them privately through a gentle, loving approach.
If our intention is truly to help them, then we don’t want to seem like we’re challenging or criticizing them in any way, or set off a war of words and posts where friends take sides and feel like they have to defend them.
Although I haven’t found this approach to be all that effective, following God’s leading is still to be taken seriously and to follow, even if we don’t see the results hoped for. It’s also better than starting a huge online war of words.
One Christian friend approached, posted photos and captions making fun and belittling people’s in the news appearances. Reaching out privately from one believer to another, mentioning his posts and how, as a Christian, it might seem unloving. Sadly, he didn’t really respond and also didn’t change his postings.
Hebrews 10:24 encourages “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.”
A few other times, I’ve privately reached out to Christian friends and family who’ve posted provocative photos, asking if they might consider removing them. As well, they didn’t respond either privately or by removing the images.
Although it’s uncomfortable to reach out to others, it’s important for us personally, to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit and trust Him to work in the lives of those we reach out to.
It’s also biblical to do, as the Apostle Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 3:16, “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.”
Sadly, too many believers will post about how someone has offended them, looking, it seems, to gather support for themselves, asking people to join them to berate and put the offender in their place.
As well, 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 sums it up: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”

If you don’t know where to start—and use—your HP coupon code, there’s a wide variety of options available at HP.com in terms of budget and use case, but my eye goes first to the high-end HP Omen gaming monitors, like the fantastic HP Omen Transcend 32. This 4K 240Hz monitor is a favorite among PC gamers, even among the huge amounts of OLED options out there. It can hit a peak brightness of over 1,000 nits in HDR, bringing scenes in games to life in vivid detail.
Or if you’re on the other side of the budget spectrum and just need something basic, we recommend checking out one of HP’s 27-inch 1080p monitors, such as the HP V27i G5, which retails for $209. It even comes with a 75Hz refresh rate, a small but appreciated bump over the standard 60Hz. We have HP coupon codes to help you save on all this tech and even more below.

On top of that, HP has a bundle offer to save $30 on select printers when you buy any PC until August 30. And now through September 22, you can get a free digital download code for Borderlands 4 Standard Edition with the purchase of select GeForce RTX 50 Series laptops. Neither of these deals require a discount code at checkout, so all you need to do is just put them in your cart and check out, easy as that. Finally, if you want to elevate your gaming setup or office for up to 60% less this month, follow along on WIRED for the best rotating HP promo codes and Weekly Deals on featured tech.
$20 Off Your First Order With Our HP Promo Code
HP offers a $20 discount right off the top of your order if it’s your first time buying from HP.com. While you can’t use it in addition to the other coupons, it might be a better discount if you’re purchasing something less expensive. To get this HP promo code, your order has to be $65 or more though (before taxes and shipping), and it requires signing up for the HP newsletter.
This HP promo code is valid for a month after subscribing to the newsletter and is restricted to one per customer. If you aren’t planning to spend too much and it’s your first time buying from HP.com, this could be the way to go.
Save 40% on Tech With the HP Student Discount
If you’re a student—or a parent to a student, teacher, school faculty, or university staff member—you’re in luck. HP is offering a serious 40% off discount on all kinds of tech, including laptops, desktop PCs, printers, and accessories. All stuff you’ll need for school, of course.
HP rebranded its laptops in 2024, introducing the OmniBooks into the world, including the premium HP OmniBook Ultra Flip. Powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X chips and a killer OLED display, the OmniBook Ultra Flip would be a great laptop for college thanks to its long-lasting battery life, especially with a 40% discount for students or teachers.

HP Military Discount: Get 40% Off the Latest Tech
HP offers more than just a standard military discount. The company’s exclusive military discount is extended to support active service members, veterans, and their families, but also healthcare workers and First Responders.
If you belong to any of those groups, the HP military discount will drop the retail prices significantly, whether you’re searching for a new laptop, PC, mouse, and many more select products at HP.com.
More HP Discounts on Gaming PCs and Free Games
HP’s high-performance gaming laptops and PCs are also included in this coupon code. HP has two brands of gaming laptops to choose from: the more affordable Victus and the higher-end Omen. Finding a gaming laptop under $1,000 can be tricky, especially since you’ll want something that doesn’t use a 5-year old GPU and only 8 GB of memory. That’s why I’d avoid the cheapest Victus laptop here, and bump up to at least the Victus 16t-r100. That gets you an RTX 4050 and 16 GB of RAM, despite costing only $150 more.
Meanwhile, the higher-end Omen models get you access to the new RTX 50-series graphics cards, and the new multi-frame generation feature that’s got everyone talking. They also come with a 16-inch 1920 x 1200 screen with a 240Hz refresh rate, such as the Omen Max gaming laptop.
Beyond gaming laptops, HP gaming desktops like the opulent Omen 45L may also be discounted. Like the Omen Max laptops, the Omen 45L comes with RTX 50-series graphics. There’s tons of bundle promotions for discounts on gaming gear, like the HyperX Cloud Alpha wireless gaming headset and HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 wireless gaming mouse for 30% off—a total of $88 in savings.
STRUČNJACI upozoravaju da određeni problem u usnoj šupljini, ako traje dulje od tri tjedna, ne treba ignorirati i najbolje ga je provjeriti kod liječnika. Većina promjena u ustima nestaje sama od sebe u roku od dva tjedna, no kad potraju, mogu upućivati na ozbiljnije stanje.
“Afte su vrlo česte i rijetko znak nečeg ozbiljnog, ali uporne ranice koje nisu nestale u roku od tri tjedna treba provjeriti. To može učiniti liječnik ili stomatolog”, objašnjava onkolog dr. Jiri Kubes za Daily Express. Dodaje da su i kvržice u ustima i vratu koje ne prolaze, bol, poteškoće s gutanjem, neobjašnjiv gubitak težine, promuklost te crvene ili bijele mrlje u ustima također mogući znakovi raka usne šupljine.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Dr. Kubes savjetuje redovito pregledavanje usne šupljine: “Unutrašnjost usta trebala bi izgledati ružičasto i zdravo. Pogledajte jezik, usne i obratite pozornost na kvržice ili promjene boje. Ovi simptomi mogu imati i druge uzroke, ali uvijek je najbolje provjeriti.” Posebno upozorava pušače jer imaju veći rizik.
Samo u Velikoj Britaniji prošle je godine dijagnosticirano više od 10.800 slučajeva raka usne šupljine, od čega je 3.637 ljudi preminulo. Liječenje može uključivati kirurgiju, kemoterapiju i radioterapiju, zaključio je dr. Kubes.

U SKLONIŠTU za nezbrinute životinje Lič već neko vrijeme boravi posebna šapica – Paula, predivna kujica u tipu njemačkog ovčara, rođena 1. siječnja 2020. godine. Svojom ljepotom, inteligencijom i privrženošću očarava svakoga tko je upozna, a sada je spremna za svoj novi početak – zauvijek dom i ljude koji će joj pružiti ljubav i pažnju koju zaslužuje.
Pametna, poslušna i puna potencijala
Paula je izuzetno pametna i brzo uči. Već sada zna osnovne naredbe poput “sjedi” i “daj šapu”, a njezina najveća strast je igra s lopticama. Osim toga, lijepo hoda na povodcu i vrlo je fokusirana, što je čini idealnim psom za daljnji rad i trening. Iz skloništa pišu da se uz malo truda s njom može postići doista puno.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Unatoč tome što je previše vremena provela u skloništu, Paula nije izgubila vjeru u ljude. Voli pažnju, društvo i spremna je izgraditi snažnu vezu sa svojim budućim udomiteljem. Aktivna je, no istovremeno zna biti mirna i poslušna kada je potrebno. Upravo zbog te ravnoteže odličan je izbor za osobe ili obitelji koje žele psa za šetnje, igru, rad i zajedničke trenutke ispunjene ljubavlju.
Vrijeme je za njezin novi početak
Paula je kujica koja ima sve – ljepotu, pamet i veliko srce. Ono što joj nedostaje jest dom u kojem će biti voljena i u kojem će njezina energija i odanost doći do punog izražaja. Sklonište za nju ne može biti trajno rješenje, ona zaslužuje svoje ljude i život pun sadržaja, sigurnosti i topline.
Ako vam je Paula zapela za oko i želite je bolje upoznati, javite se Skloništu za nezbrinute životinje Lič na broj 091 214 8855 ili putem inboxa na Facebooku.

ANNE Hathaway ponovno je u ulozi Andy Sachs i već postavlja jesenske trendove.
Do sada smo je vidjeli u raznim modnim kombinacijama na setu nastavka kultnog filma Vrag nosi Pradu, a jedan od posljednjih stajlinga otkrio je komad za koji ne sumnjamo da će biti najpoželjniji ove jeseni.
Glumica je prošetala u kombinaciji koja najavljuje veliki povratak jakni od brušene kože. Iako je riječ o kostimu za film, njezin je odabir već inspirirao mnoge, a dobra je vijest da se slični modeli mogu pronaći po pristupačnim cijenama.
Ralph Lauren kožna jakna
Hathaway je krajem srpnja viđena na setu u New Yorku, a nosila je elegantnu smeđu jaknu od brušene kože Ralpha Laurena, traperice Levi’s, Valentino torbu s resama, čizme sa zmijskim uzorkom Zadig & Voltaire i svileni šal Sabine Savage, piše Us Weekly.
S obzirom na to da je njezin smeđi blejzer od brušene kože prošle jeseni postao viralan, ovaj izgled samo potvrđuje da trend ne jenjava. Jakna kakvu je Hathaway nosila na setu rasprodana je, no u trgovinama se mogu pronaći vrlo slične verzije – i to po nižim cijenama. Neke od njih izdvojili smo u nastavku.

Jesenski klasik it djevojaka
Da su smeđe jakne od brušene kože nezaobilazan komad u ormaru svake trendseterice, potvrdila je i prošla jesen. Časopis Elle opisao ju je kao “komad skupog izgleda” koji je “svaka cool djevojka” imala u svom ormaru 2024. godine.
Tu tvrdnju potvrdile su i dvije it-djevojke – Hailey Bieber i Bella Hadid. Bieber je nosila verziju u bomber stilu, dok je Hadid viđena u vintage modelu. Time je jakna od brušene kože učvrstila svoj status ultimativnog jesenskog klasika.
Komad koji podiže svaku kombinaciju
Ako ga Andy Sachs i druge modne ikone ne prestaju nositi, jasno je da ovaj trend neće tako skoro nestati. To je komad koji trapericama daje dozu profinjenosti, podiže kombinacije sa slip suknjama i savršeno se slaže s hlačama. Očekujte ga posvuda ove sezone – od tjedana mode do lokalnih kafića.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Friday announced the creation of a new company called Macrohard to take on Microsoft’s software business while leveraging the power of AI.
In a post on X confirming the existence of Macrohard, Musk wrote, “It’s a tongue-in-cheek name, but the project is very real!”
“In principle, given that software companies like Microsoft do not themselves manufacture any physical hardware, it should be possible to simulate them entirely with AI,” he added.
Media reports revealed that Musk’s xAI had filed for the ‘Macrohard’ patent at the United States Patent and Trademark Office on 1 August. xAI’s application lists a number of AI-focused services that Macrohard could provide, including “downloadable computer software for the artificial production of human speech and text” and “downloadable computer software for designing, coding, running, and playing video games using artificial intelligence.”
In a post on X last month, Musk had said that xAI’s latest AI software company would spawn “hundreds of specialized coding and image/video generation/understanding agents all working together and then emulate humans interacting with the software in virtual machines until the result is excellent.”
“This is a macro challenge and a hard problem with stiff competition! Can you guess the name of this company?” he added.
Musk has had a blow hot-blow cold relationship with Microsoft and its CEO Satya Nadella over the past few years. On the one hand, he has dragged Microsoft into his lawsuit against OpenAI, claiming the ChatGPT maker has breached its foundation mission in favor of a profit-seeking motive. On the other hand, Musk and Nadella had a public conversation in May when Grok 3 models were made available on Microsoft’s Azure AI platform.
Musk also recently warned Microsoft about OpenAI ‘eating’ it alive, to which Nadella responded in his classic diplomatic style. Musk has been on a mission to tease the potential of his Grok 5 model (said to launch by year-end) while claiming that Grok 4 is still a much superior AI model than the competition. Meanwhile, Microsoft has largely been reliant on OpenAI’s AI models to power its Copilot-based features on the web, GitHub, and Windows, among other platforms
Written and directed by Tharangam filmmaker Dominic Arun, Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra is billed as a fantasy entertainer on an ambitious scale for Malayalam cinema. The teaser hinted at a fusion of futuristic, mystical and dystopian settings, while positioning Kalyani’s titular character Chandra as a potential superhero. Alongside Kalyani and Naslen, the film also features Chandu Salimkumar, Arun Kurian, Vijayaraghavan, Raghunath Paleri, Sarath Saba, Nithya Shri, Nishanth Sagar and Tamil actor-choreographer Sandy in his Malayalam debut.

Mirae Asset Investment Managers, a mutual fund AMC, on Friday said that the Chennai market’s MF Assets under Management (AUM) have grown from ₹2.8 lakh crore in 2024 to ₹3.32 lakh crore in 2025, reflecting a year-on-year growth of over ₹52,000 crore.
Overall investor participation in Chennai has also improved with folios increasing from 99 lakh in 2024 to 1.25 crore in 2025, a statement from the company said.
Meanwhile, at the national industry level, AUM expanded from ₹64.13 lakh crore in 2024 to ₹74.85 lakh crore in 2025 and industry folios grew by ₹3.74 crore in the past year, the AMC added.
The mutual fund firm said that the strong growth in both AUM and folios highlights “the immense potential” of the Chennai market, giving them confidence to strengthen and deepen existing engagement with investors in the region.
“Over the last twenty years, the small cap segment has delivered strong earnings growth and market returns. Their relatively unestablished nature makes them more agile, allowing them to respond swiftly to industry shifts and market disruptions. This adaptability often translates into faster growth, which the stock market tends to reward,” Varun Goel, Senior Fund Manager, Mirae Asset Investment Managers (India) said.
Casey Elsass shares a recipe from his cookbook “What Can I Bring?” It’s bright, tangy and the perfect addition to any spread of starters. Here’s Elsass on his salt and vinegar salsa verde:
Let me just get out in front of this before it becomes a scandal: This is not a salt-and-vinegar-flavored salsa, although that sounds incredible. This is a very easy and classic blend of the usual suspects — tomatillo, lime, onion and cilantro, plus one special ingredient to make sure the salsa is as verde as possible. But back to the recipe title: It’s because I refuse to eat it with anything other than salt-and-vinegar chips. I know, tortilla chips are already perfect with salsa, and you’re right to say that. Just trust me — a salt-and-vin chip is an even more perfect partner for the natural acidity of the tomatillos. They really make this salsa sparkle with a huge pop of flavor!
Note: Whenever you need a blended sauce to stay vibrant, drop in an ice cube! The ice crystals shock the cilantro and keep this salsa looking bright and fresh.
A student from the Sunshine State recently struck gold during an archaeological excavation in Britain – over 4,000 miles from home.
Yara Souza of Orlando, Florida, discovered the ninth-century golden artifact during an excavation in Redesdale, Northumberland, in July.
An archaeology student at Newcastle University, Souza said that she “couldn’t believe” she found the artifact – during her first excavation too.
METAL DETECTORIST’S ‘FEELING’ LEADS TO MASSIVE ROMAN SETTLEMENT DISCOVERY IN POPULAR TOURIST HOTSPOT
“It was actually quite overwhelming. It was amazing to discover something that hasn’t been seen for more than 1,000 years,” she said in a university release.
“I was really geeking out over it!”

She found the artifact near Dere Street, a Roman road that once connected York to Edinburgh and later became part of the modern A68.
“I couldn’t believe I’d found something so quickly into my first ever excavation.”
After missing Newcastle University’s excavation at Birdoswald Roman fort due to illness, Souza said she unearthed the artifact within 90 minutes of digging.
RARE 1,200-YEAR-OLD CHRISTIAN CROSS FOUND IN FIELD BY METAL DETECTORIST
“I couldn’t believe I’d found something so quickly into my first excavation,” she added.
The early medieval artifact dates back to the 800s, the school said. It features a decorative finial at one end.

GoPro doesn’t sell anything older than the Hero 12, but there are plenty of Hero 11s and even Hero 10s out there for sale on the internet. We suggest avoiding them. They may work fine, but modern accessories designed for later models won’t work, and these cameras have likely been through the wringer. (They are action cameras, after all.)
GoPro
Hero 11 Black
GoPro no longer sells the Hero 11, but it’s still commonly available on Amazon and other retailers. Unfortunately it’s usually the same price as the Hero 12 (around $300) and therefore not worth buying.
GoPro
Hero 10 Black
The Hero 10 is really showing its age at this point, but it can sometimes be found on sale for $200, but the video quality and stabilization aren’t nearly as good as the Hero 13, which also sells for about $220 and is better in every way.
What About the GoPro Max?
Photograph: GoPro
What most people call a “GoPro” is in fact the Hero Black camera. GoPro makes a few other cameras as well, most notably the Max. The Max is GoPro’s attempt at three cameras in one. It can shoot 360 footage and Hero-style video and photos, and it works as a vlogging camera. While the 360-degree time lapse feature is awesome, and the sound is pretty good, it’s been a while since GoPro updated it, and there are better 360 cameras. Our top pick is Insta360’s X5. The GoPro Max might be more durable, but in nearly every other way the X5 bests it. Hopefully, GoPro will update the Max in 2025.
The Best GoPro Accessories
Photograph: GoPro
Should you buy a bundle? Generally, I say no. Get the camera, figure it out, and see how you end up using it. When you find yourself trying to solve a problem, start looking for an accessory. Here are some of my favorite things that I’ve tested and used, but if you have favorites you think I should try, drop a comment below.
A good MicroSD card for $60: According to GoPro’s recommendations, you want a microSD card with a V30 or UHS-3 rating. That said, GoPros can be finicky about SD cards. I’ve had good luck with, and recommend, the Samsung linked here. Another card I’ve used extensively is the Sandisk Extreme Pro.
GoPro Media Mod for $80: By far my most used accessory, the media mod does add some bulk, but in most cases this is more than made up for by the fact that you can plug in a real microphone (I use mine with a Rode Wireless). Sound quality is radically improved with this one. This may be less necessary if you get the Hero 12 or later, since those models do have support for Bluetooth mics.
GoPro Handlebar Mount for $40: I’ve been doing a lot more riding lately and this mount pretty much lives on my bike these days. It’s been rock solid in my testing, and beats any of the third-party mounts I’ve tested.
GoPro Tripod Mount Adapters for $30: Unless you have the Hero 12 or 13, which have a tripod mount built-in, you’ll need a few of these to mount your GoPro to a tripod like the GorillaPod above.
GoPro Floaty for $35: If you’re getting anywhere near the water, grab one of these. Trust me, you will drop your GoPro and when you do, you will glad you have this (unless the water is clear and you’re a good free diver.) GoPro also makes a Floating Hand Grip ($23), which not only floats but has a leash for diving or surfing.
GoPro Selfie Stick for $80: This 48-inch extension pole collapses up surprisingly small and isn’t very heavy. It’s the best selfie stick I’ve used. I rarely use it for selfies, but it makes a great monopod on soft ground, like a sandy beach.
DaVinci Resolve Studio for $300: This is my video editing software of choice. There is a free version, but I got tired of converting media to fit the restrictions of the free version. Best money I ever spent when it comes to making better videos.
IAKO riječ “bakterije” često zvuči negativno, znanstvenici ističu da su zdrave crijevne bakterije iznimno važne. “Crijevne bakterije su milijuni mikroba koji žive u vašim crijevima. One pomažu probaviti hranu, proizvode vitamine, podržavaju imunitet i štite od štetnih klica”, objašnjava liječnik dr. Yoshua Quinones za Parade.
Liječnici upozoravaju da jedna uobičajena navika može ugroziti ravnotežu tih bakterija – pretjerano korištenje dezinficijensa za ruke. “To može zvučati kao dobra stvar, ali određena izloženost mikrobima zapravo pomaže izgraditi i podržati imunitet i raznolikost mikrobioma”, kaže dr. Raj Dasgupta.
Dodaje da dezinficijensi s visokim udjelom alkohola isušuju i oštećuju kožu, što narušava i njezin mikrobiom.
Pregled istraživanja također je povezao pretjerano korištenje dezinficijensa s većim rizikom od gastrointestinalnih bolesti
Posljedice se mogu prenijeti i na crijeva jer, kako naglašava dr. Quinones, “ako pretjerujemo s dezinficijensom, možemo uništiti i korisne mikrobe na koži, čime se smanjuje raznolikost crijevnog mikrobioma i otpornost imuniteta”.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Alergologinja i imunologinja dr. Kara Wada upozorava da smanjenje dobrih bakterija može dovesti do alergija, autoimunih bolesti i metaboličkih problema. Pregled istraživanja iz 2024. također je povezao pretjeranu uporabu dezinficijensa s većim rizikom od gastrointestinalnih bolesti i kožnih stanja poput psorijaze i akni.
Zbog toga liječnici preporučuju ograničenu upotrebu – dr. Jesus L. Lizarzaburu savjetuje da se dezinficijens ne koristi više od 10 do 15 puta dnevno. “Sapuni i voda uvijek su bolji izbor”, ističe dr. Wada, dodajući da sapun ispire prljavštinu i mikrobe, dok dezinficijensi djeluju ubijanjem, bez razlike između dobrih i loših bakterija.
Liječnici poručuju da je najbolje koristiti dezinficijens samo kada sapun i voda nisu dostupni, primjerice nakon dodirivanja javnih površina ili prije jela.

UDRUGA Prava šapa traži dom za svoju štićenicu, mačku Sweety. Ova mala slatkica spašena je s ulice u okolici Sesveta, a danas čeka priliku da pronađe obitelj koja će je voljeti i brinuti se o njoj.
Sweety je rođena oko 15. svibnja 2025. godine, a već sada pokazuje svoj veseli i razigrani karakter. Kako pišu iz udruge, pitoma je, umiljata i vesela, no ono što najviše obožava jesu druge mačke. Čim ugleda mačju prijateljicu ili prijatelja, odmah im prilazi kako bi se upoznala i pozdravila.
Upravo zato njezin idealan dom je onaj u kojem već živi još jedna maca s kojom bi mogla dijeliti svakodnevne pustolovine. Iako voli ljudsko društvo, Sweety nije maca koja će cijeli dan provoditi u krilu.
Briga i uvjeti udomljenja
Sweety je kod udruge tretirana protiv parazita, cijepljena i docijepljena protiv zaraznih bolesti. Preko skloništa osigurano joj je i besplatno cijepljenje protiv bjesnoće te mikročipiranje. Sterilizacija je obvezna u dobi od pet do šest mjeseci, a za udomitelje u Zagrebu osiguran je i popust.
Udomljuje se isključivo u Zagreb ili bližu okolicu, i to u stan bez mogućnosti izlaska van ili u kuću smještenu u sigurnom okruženju. Sweety nije pogodna za obitelj s djecom vrtićke dobi, ali će zato biti savršena prijateljica jednoj ili više odraslih mačaka.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Od budućih udomitelja očekuje se odgovornost i predanost da je maze, paze, čuvaju, hrane kvalitetnom hranom, vode veterinaru po potrebi i osiguraju joj siguran i sretan život u narednih 15 i više godina.
Ako želite pružiti dom ovoj predivnoj mački i postati njezina obitelj, možete se javiti udruzi Prava šapa putem inboxa na Facebooku ili na e-mail: [email protected].

JEDNA žena nedavno je na TikToku podijelila svoje neugodno iskustvo kupovine u trgovini brenda Brandy Melville, a njezina priča ubrzo je postala viralna. Tvrdi kako ju je osoblje trgovine prisililo da kupi majicu na kojoj su bile mrlje od tuđe šminke, piše Daily Dot.
Haley Patrick objasnila je u videu, koji je dosad prikupio više od 6.1 milijun pregleda, da je kupovala odjeću za školu. “Molim vas, poslušajte ako kupujete u Brandy Melvilleu”, započela je svoju priču. “Trenutno mi je jako neugodno… Inače ne snimam ovakve videe.”
Neugodnost u kabini za presvlačenje
Haley je ispričala da je ušla u trgovinu kako bi kupila odjeću za novu školsku godinu. Uzela je bijelu majicu, no zaposlenica joj je rekla da na njoj ima tragova šminke. Zatim joj je donijela novu, čistu. No kad je krenula isprobati tu drugu, primijetila je da je i na njoj već bilo tragova pudera. Odlučila ju je uopće ne isprobavati.
Situacija je eskalirala na blagajni
Problem je nastao kada je kasnije došla na blagajnu platiti ostale stvari koje je odabrala. Zaposlenici su, tvrdi, donijeli prethodno spomenutu umrljanu majicu i inzistirali da je mora kupiti.
“Nemam na sebi ništa što bi se moglo preslikati”, rekla je, pojašnjavajući da je nosila samo rumenilo, maskaru i korektor. “Mrlja na majici očito je bila od pudera. Nisam ga imala na licu.” Iako se pokušala obraniti, tvrdeći da nije ona zaprljala majicu, zaposlenica je bila uporna.
Osjećajući se poniženo, Haley je na kraju popustila. “Uglavnom sam samo rekla, u redu, samo mi dajte da kupim tu jebenu majicu. Morala sam vratiti drugu majicu koju sam htjela kako bih platila ovu”, ispričala je. Dodala je kako se zbog cijele situacije osjećala kao “lopov ili kao da sam učinila nešto strašno, a nisam”.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Je li to službena politika tvrtke?
Nije poznato ima li Brandy Melville službena pravila o mrljama od šminke na odjeći. Ipak, ovo nije prvi put da se kupci žale na oštećene ili prljave artikle. “Neka njihova odjeća je prljava s mrljama od šminke i otiscima stopala”, napisala je jedna korisnica na Yelpu.
Druge trgovine imaju drugačija rješenja. U Japanu, primjerice, kupci ponekad dobiju zaštitnu navlaku koju stave preko glave prije isprobavanja odjeće kako bi se spriječio prijenos šminke.
Podijeljene reakcije
Komentari ispod Haleyina videa bili su različiti – dok su je jedni podržali, drugi nisu mogli vjerovati da je pristala platiti majicu. “Radnice Brandy Melvillea su samo djevojke koje su vrhunac doživjele u srednjoj školi i nikad ga nisu prerasle lmao”, napisala je jedna korisnica. “Doslovno nikad nisam čula ništa dobro o ovom brendu”, dodala je druga.
S druge strane, mnogi su smatrali da nije trebala popustiti. “Ozbiljno?! Platila si to? ZAŠTO jednostavno nisi izašla?”, upitao je jedan komentator. “Zašto nisi išetala iz trgovine?”, komentirao je još netko. “Nikada to ne bih platio, nikada”, glasio je još jedan od komentara.
Kakav je to brend?
Brandy Melville je talijanski brend brze mode koji je nastao 1980-ih, a svjetsku je popularnost stekao kad je otvorio trgovinu u Los Angelesu 2009. godine. Danas ima gotovo stotinu trgovina diljem svijeta i snažnu prisutnost na Instagramu, gdje njeguje prepoznatljiv “Malibu teen” stil – jednostavne majice, kratke suknje, traperice i udobne basic komade koje nose influencerice i tinejdžerice.
Poznat je i po tome to što većinu odjeće prodaje u jednoj univerzalnoj veličini, što mu je donijelo kritike i kontroverze. Uz fizičke trgovine, Brandy Melville ima i webshop putem kojeg šalje u zemlje EU, SAD, UK, Australiju i Japan, pa se i hrvatski kupci mogu opskrbiti komadima koji su postali dio globalne Y2K i “cool girl” estetike.

Both teams suffered big defeats in their last match against title contenders. Bournemouth suffered a 4-2 defeat against Liverpool. They gave a strong fight exposing the defensive frailties of Arne Slot’s Liverpool, but the defending champions held their own in the end and snatched away victory. Antoine Semenyo shined in the first match, despite receiving racist comments from the audience. He scored a brace and led charge in the Bournemouth attack. With Kepa Arrizabalaga, Dean Huijsen and Milos Kerkez gone, Bournemouth Achilles heel will remain a re-shaping defence.

Wolves, meanwhile, dropped to the 19th position after a big defeat against explosive Manchester City who started their season on a high. Wolves are not known to be a good starter of the season and their record in the initial phase of the Premier League will worry them. Despite a solid attempt against Man City where they were demolished by the quality of the opposition, Vitor Pereira will have questions to answer. Although Wolves have remarkably gone unbeaten in each of their previous five Premier League matches against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium. They have never faced another team away from home on more occasions in the competition without suffering defeat.

Google’s search dominance has been under threat ever since OpenAI unveiled its ChatGPT chatbot in late 2022. The fears of AI cutting into Google’s search business became even more real as OpenAI introduced search capabilities in ChatGPT last year, even as rivals like Microsoft’s Bing and Perplexity already provided similar solutions.
ChatGPT’s search capabilities are supposedly so great compared to Google that its CEO, Sam Altman, in a recent interaction with The Verge, said that he doesn’t use Google Search anymore.
“I legitimately cannot tell you the last time I did a Google search,” Altman said.
However, a new report by The Information has now stated that OpenAI has been using data scraped from Google Search in order to help ChatGPT answer real-time questions about issues like news, sports, and financial markets, areas where its own AI tools aren’t up to the mark yet.
OpenAI is reportedly scraping data via SerpApi—a paid web-scraping service that allows developers to extract real-time search engine results.
Apart from OpenAI, SerpApi’s client list also includes tech giants like Meta, Apple, and Perplexity. The web scraper had earlier publicly listed OpenAI on its website, but that reference has reportedly been removed now.
Prior to the report by The Information, a former Google engineer, Abhishek Iyer, had also shown how ChatGPT uses Google Search to answer real-time queries. Iyer created a few dummy web pages which appeared only in Google’s index, and later when he prompted ChatGPT about information from those pages, the chatbot was able to access that information.
Google had rejected OpenAI’s request for its search index:
Officially, OpenAI has previously said that its search functionality on ChatGPT is powered by its own web crawler, along with data from Bing and licensing partnerships with news and content publishers. However, during the Google anti-trust trial last year, ChatGPT head Nick Turley had admitted that the company had reached out to Google for its search index but that request was denied.
Turley had also confirmed that it had “significant quality issues” with Microsoft’s search results and “it was at best a near-term solution.”
“Having access to the data that underlies Google’s index, the content or signals, would accelerate the development of our own index,” Turley had said last year.
Sho Miyake’s lovely, wispy, rumination-like Japanese film, Tabi To Hibi(Two Seasons, Two Strangers), based on two of Yoshiharu Tsuge’s mangas Mr. Ben and his Igloo and A View of the Seaside, is all about journeys we undertake through life, and into writing and filmmaking. It also underscores how some of the most significant connections and the most compelling of our jottings can happen through or emerge from chance encounters with strangers—unexpected, casual and fleeting.
Two Seasons, Two Strangers bagged the Golden Leopard at the recently concluded Locarno Film Festival and it’s not difficult to fathom why. Marked by Miyake’s distinctive observational skills and compassion and warmth for the human condition, the narrative coasts along leisurely with rhythmic beats and elegant patterns, making for a most soulful, tactile piece of cinema. The kind that doesn’t just render emotions palpable on screen but engages the audience in a way that they get to project and invest their own feelings on the protagonists. Real and reel paralleling each other.
At the centre here is the Korean screenwriter Li Shim (Eun-kyung). In the first segment, as she attempts to break free of the writer’s block, and tie-in with the alien Japanese culture she is in, the narrative keeps alternating between her thoughts and writings and the story of two lonely Japanese youngsters, Nagisa (Yuumi Kawai) and Natsuo (Mansaku Takada) who meet and spend a day with each other by the summery, sunny, but also cloudy, rainy sea. It’s their story that Li is struggling to give form on paper. They are the leads of her film.
Natsuo tells Nagisa a scary story from his childhood, about encountering the dead bodies of a drowned mother and child. She thinks it’s more a sad than scary tale. They have another rendezvous the next day, sharing a dessert and swimming in the turbulent sea, as the tingling romance, despite a seemingly happy end, also gets underlined with an inexplicable sense of doom. Life finds parallels in strange ways in fiction as Li also faces a sudden tragedy like Natsuo after a screening and analysis of the film.
While Li is uncomfortable discussing her own film writing with a bunch of students and their professor, her conversations with her inner self are lucid, resonant, particularly when it comes to her constant tussle with words. Something writers across the world will identify with. Like this long, introspective monologue: “Things happen in life that can’t be put into words. Surprise and bewilderment blow me far away. I want to just stand there forever, far away from words. But words always take hold of me without fail. Everyday life is about naming the things and feelings around us and blending in. When I first came to Japan, everything around me was full of mystery and fear. The things and feelings that used to be fresh have now been overtaken by words. I’m in a cage of words. Maybe travel is about trying to get away from words.”
As if on cue we see her travelling to a wintry, snowy wonderland in the second segment. A world distinctly apart, visually, in its colour palette and in terms of the weather, from the first. But she is still struggling with words, attempting to write another screenplay, this time on the ninjas. Unable to find accommodation in town, she is forced to stay in an old inn beyond the mountains run by Benzo (Shinichi Tsutsumi). Could that be a setting for her next film, he asks, as his own life appears to provide promising fodder. More significantly, just like Nagisa and Natsuo, after the initial hesitation, Li strikes a meaningful bond with Benzo. Life echoing fiction yet again in mysterious ways.
There is a sense of calm and quiet all through which masks the restlessness of the characters, their essential loneliness and disconnect from the world. All the actors have just the right measure of elegance, awkwardness and gruffness to reflect their characters’ alienation. For a film that talks a lot about words, it manages to say the most by saying very little.
The critique of the film within the film could well anticipate the reactions to Two Seasons, Two Strangersitself with some not able to get it and others taken in by its characters’ struggle to understand each other. Two Seasons, Two Strangersis not just about the wanderings in the world but travelling within. It is about all that awaits us out there and in the interiors of our souls. Viewing it is like being on a journey, suspended in time and space, that can help you come alive and reconnect with yourself again.
Block deals are large transactions executed through a single trade to avoid market disruption. The draft circular has sought public comments until September 15
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has proposed a review of the block deal framework, including widening the reference price range for non-F&O stocks and increasing the minimum order size.
Under the draft proposals, for stocks under the futures and options (F&O) segment, block deal orders must be within ±1 per cent of the reference price, while for non-F&O stocks the limit will be ±3 per cent. Currently, all orders are placed within ±1 per cent of the applicable reference price.
The minimum order size has also been suggested to be revised to ₹25 crore from the current ₹10 crore to keep up with the market growth. SEBI has clarified that such trades must result in compulsory delivery and cannot be squared off or reversed.
The morning block deal window will operate between 8.45 am and 9.00 a.m, with trades executed at the previous day’s closing price. A second afternoon window will run between 2.05 pm and 2.20 pm, based on the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of trades executed between 1.30 pm and 2.00 pm.
Block deals are large transactions executed through a single trade to avoid market disruption. The draft circular has sought public comments until September 15.
Exchanges, clearing corporations and depositories will also apply regular risk management and surveillance norms to these trades. The revised framework will take effect 30 days after the final circular is issued.
