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.

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.

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.

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.

More recently, an ancient Christian warning was unearthed at the site of a fifth-century church in Turkey this summer.
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.

“MDFR reminds those who are planning to go boating to always check weather conditions before heading out on the water, file a float plan, and have a VHF radio tuned into channel 16 to signal for help if an emergency occurs,” reads the Instagram post.

In 2023, there were 3,844 incidents involving 564 deaths due to recreational boating incidents, according to the USGC.
The USGC recommends that boaters check weather, swell and tide conditions both before departure and while underway.

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.

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.

“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.
Save up to 60% With the Latest HP Coupon Codes and Deals
HP is one of the biggest monitor, desktop, and PC manufacturers in the world, and there are some coupons and promo codes you won’t want to miss. Whether that’s for a long-needed work-from-home upgrade or for your PC gaming setup. Give your office a refresh with business PCs like the EliteBook 860 or ProBook touch screen PC, plus get an extra 5% off with coupon code HPSMB524 through December 31.
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.
It’s not just laptops though. The HP Education Program discount applies to desktop PCs, printers, and tons more qualifying products.
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.

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.

“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.

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.
The food scene in the Valley is massive — spread out across 260 square miles and sustaining roughly half the population of the city of Los Angeles. Eight Times Food writers spent weeks traversing its trafficked highways, long boulevards and hidden side streets in search of greatness.
Our search yielded 65 dining destinations and 24 drinking establishments — barely scratching the surface of all the culinary abundance the region is home to.
Now we want to hear from you: Where are your favorite places to eat and drink in the San Fernando Valley? What’s a hidden gem that you wish more people knew about?
On April 29, speaking at the YUGM Innovation Conclave co-hosted by the Ministry of Education and the Wadhwani Foundation in New Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed confidence that the efforts to enhance India’s innovation capacity and its role in deep-tech would gain momentum through this event.
The Prime Minister congratulated the Wadhwani Foundation, IITs, and all stakeholders involved in these initiatives.

Founded in the early 2000s by Romesh Wadhwani, the Wadhwani Foundation is a global non-profit dedicated to accelerating economic growth and job creation across emerging economies.
In an exclusive interaction with LiveMint Dr Ajay Kela, CEO and Board member, Wadhwani Foundation, spoke about the Foundation’s two-decade journey in India.
Q: How has the journey been so far since inception?
A: When I joined in 2010, we were a one-country, one-initiative, one-program. The country was India; the initiative was National Entrepreneurship Network designed to inspire and equip students with the skills and knowledge to become successful entrepreneurs.
We were a small team of barely 10–15 people. Today, we are working in probably a dozen countries or more with half a dozen initiatives, probably 10-12 programs under them. So that is how we have scaled. What has never changed, however, is our core mission, which is to enable people to secure dignified jobs and, through that, transform their families and future generations.
Q: Could you give me an example of the kind of people you’re focusing on?
A: On one side of the equation, we work with the vulnerable – these are 18-year-olds that finished high school or finished 10th grade and are looking to support themselves and their family, but they don’t go to college.
Also Read | Crores lost as investors flee gaming stocks. Did they see it coming?
We help people acquire skills so that they can command these level, mid-skill roles that have a trajectory. These aren’t daily wage roles, and they’re not high-end data science jobs either. They are stepping-stone careers, for example, a nurse’s aide or a home healthcare worker who can progress to becoming a nurse, and even a doctor if ambitious enough. It’s about building a ladder of opportunity.
Q: How do you identify which job roles to train them for?
A: We pick job roles that we know are going to be in demand. We start with employers and ask them what they are hiring for today, what their outlook is for the next three to five years, and what skills those roles will demand. Based on that, we develop programs, curriculums and then even influence the training organisations.
The key here is to know what the hyperlocal demand is.
Skilling is just one side of the equation. The other is job creation. While on the skilling side, we work with the vulnerable, this side we are working with the creme layer of society – top students and colleges because they are the ones that will create ‘Silicon Valley’ kinds of companies.
Q: Beyond entrepreneurship, another area you’ve worked on is research-driven job creation, right?
A: Yes, we have. India produces world-class research via PhDs and postdocs that ends up in papers and patents, not in the market. That’s a criminal waste. This research holds the potential to impact people’s lives, and of course, lead to business and job growth, but it wasn’t happening at all in India.

With this thought, we set up the Wadhwani Center for Biosciences and Biotechnology at IIT Bombay in 2015 to support projects with commercialisation potential. We funded 120 projects based on the sole selection criteria being:
Q- How has this translateed into startups, and job creation?
A- So far, 15 of those 120 have been commercialised, leading to 10 startups, 5 products and 40 more in the pipeline. This gave us confidence to amplify this approach.
In fact, at YUGM – an event we did in collaboration with Ministry of Education earlier this year, PM Modi acknowledged Wadhwani Foundation’s efforts towards research commercialisation. That validation reinforced that our model of supporting translatable research, rather than leaving it to languish in academic journals, can be a real driver of jobs and innovation in India.
Q What does the philanthropy landscape in India, especially in the tech and education sector, look like right now?
A: In India, philanthropy in the education has primarily been focused on K12. Even though the focus on improving early schooling by developing teachers and building stronger primary education systems is important, this needs to be complemented with work on jobs and employability. This is where the Wadhwani Foundation fills the gap.
Q: How important is tech for your mission and what is the role that AI can play here?
A: Essentially, technology is the tool that we are leveraging to deliver quality at scale.
In a traditional setup, even an exceptional faculty can only teach 30 students. However, when you digitise this – use an AI tutor that is available 24×7 and is able to personalise learning for every student – you transform education entirely. We are already seeing similar shifts in other industries. E-commerce has transformed retail access. Platforms like Uber have transformed mobility.
In the same way, we believe AI will transform learning, skilling, and entrepreneurship. Our Genie AI platform is designed exactly for this; to act as a personalized guide, counselor, and mentor, available to millions of learners and entrepreneurs. It serves as a knowledge dissemination and mentorship platform with three layers: short-form video content, a family of AI agents (mentors and tutors available 24/7), and a human layer where experts and mentors from our WIN centers guide innovators.
Q: India is projected to be the third-largest economy. What structural reforms and policy decisions are needed to achieve that goal?
A: I mean, there will be a gamut of them, but I will focus primarily on the jobs, employment and skilling – where our demographic dividend can be leveraged. India is a young country, with the median age of 29, which also makes us a young workforce. If we can leverage this human capital that is available to us where the productivity of each of these individuals is dramatically increased through their own capacity.

We’ve already seen how outsourcing and IT services put India on the global map. That happened because we had a skilled workforce that could meet global demand. Now, we need to replicate that success in other growing sectors. To do that, we need three things: massive investment in skilling, strong industry-academia linkages, and policy frameworks that encourage lifelong learning and upskilling.
Q: Wadhwani Foundation is working in India and 13-14 other countries as well. There must be some learning from other countries that you want to replicate in India or some learnings from India that you want to replicate there. What is your say on this?
A: We get exposed to what works and what doesn’t work in each country.
Essentially, technology is the tool that we are leveraging to deliver quality at scale.
For example, in Brazil, the government has mandated for every company to fund an apprenticeship program where a 12th grader who doesn’t pursue higher education spends four days a week apprenticing in a company, and one day in formal training. The stipend is paid by industry, which keeps companies motivated to engage seriously. As a result, apprentices graduate job- ready, and the program is not just on paper, it works in practice.
India also has apprenticeship schemes, but they are underutilized. If we could adapt elements of the Brazilian model here, it could transform how industry participates in skilling.
Lenovo is currently the biggest PC and laptop company in the world, and they just so happen to make some of our favorite laptops and PC peripherals. In fact, our list of the Best Laptops you can buy include a number of Lenovo devices that we’ve tested and fully recommend, ranging from high-end premium laptops to options for budget-minded shoppers. If you are looking to save a few bucks while shopping for a new Lenovo product, here are the Lenovo coupon codes and special offers you need to know about.
Save up to $100 on Lenovo Back-to-School Deals
Back to school season is a great time to shop for a laptop, and there are already tons of deals across Lenovo’s portfolio of Chromebooks and Windows laptops to search through. We’re a big fan of some of Lenovo’s Chromebooks, in particular, which do a good job straddling the line between price and quality. The Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 for example, is currently our pick for the Best Chromebook you can buy and is easily the best Chromebook I’ve ever made. Meanwhile, the Lenovo Flex 5i Chromebook Plus is a close second, finding a great price around the $500 mark.
If you are shopping for the upcoming return to school, right now it’s the last call to save an extra $100 off for PCs, tablets, and peripherals. You’ll get the extra savings on all orders that are over $500. The deal ends on August 24 though, so now’s your chance to save some extra cash.
Score Weekly Tech Deals, Price Match Guarantee, and Free Shipping
Beyond the back to school deal, Lenovo has a number of other current offers available when shopping through Lenovo.com. There are weekly deals on PCs and tech that include free shipping with no minimums. For certain products, you can even choose to buy online and pick it up in-store at Best Buy. If you’re looking for more Lenovo recommendations, we’re big fans of the Lenovo Idea Tab Pro, an Android tablet that’s currently on our Best Tablets list. It’s currently discounted by 26%, bringing the price down to $280.
Lenovo is also offering price-matching on any comparable PC, including from many online retailers. That’s really helpful, as it’s not uncommon to see price discrepancies between different retailers.
Get Exclusive Savings With Lenovo Discount Programs
Lenovo does offer a fairly generous discount program for certain demographics as well. These include a 5% off Education, Healthcare, First Responder, and Senior (over 55) discount.
You can use this discount on anything you find at Lenovo.com, which includes a lot more than just Lenovo-branded laptops. For example, Lenovo sells one of our favorite laptop docking stations, the Kensington Triple Video Mobile Dock. Despite its tiny size, this tiny device can power up to three 1080p (or two 4K) displays simultaneously. It’s a great example of the wide diversity of products you can use these discounts and coupon codes on.
My Lenovo Rewards and Sweepstakes Offers
Lenovo has a My Lenovo Rewards system that can earn you points that can be spent on future purchases from Lenovo.com. Almost everything you buy gets you between 3% and 9% back in the form of reward points, and you can start redeeming points right after signing up for an account. 1,000 points is equal to $1 that you can spend on future purchases.

Lenovo Financing and Lease-to-Own Options
Lenovo uses Katapult to offer financing and lease-to-own options on its laptops. That might be useful if you’ve been eyeing one of Lenovo’s higher-end laptops. One of our favorite of these is the Lenovo Yoga 9i, a gorgeous 2-in-1 with a bright OLED screen and a luxurious design. This laptop is currently listed as one of our top recommendations for the Best Laptops and Best 2-in-1 Laptop.
Katapult allows you to buy now and pay over time, without charging late fees. If you put down a $45 initial payment, you can check out the laptop today. Katapult offers up to $3,500 in pre-approved leases and allows you to make minimum payments over time or buyout early.
ODRŽAVANJE oštrog uma ključan je dio zdravog starenja, a na zdravlje našeg mozga utječu brojni čimbenici, uključujući i prehranu. Iako nijedna namirnica ne može samostalno spriječiti demenciju, stanje koje smanjuje pamćenje i sposobnost razmišljanja, nutricionisti se slažu da jedno lisnato povrće zaslužuje posebno mjesto na tanjuru: špinat. Uključivanje salate od špinata ili zelenog smoothieja u svakodnevnu rutinu jednostavan je način da podržite zdravlje mozga, piše EatingWell.
Zašto je špinat saveznik zdravog mozga?
Stručnjaci ističu nekoliko ključnih razloga zbog kojih je špinat izvanredna namirnica za smanjenje rizika od demencije.
Poboljšava protok krvi u mozak
Naše stanice, uključujući i one u mozgu, za energiju ovise o sićušnim strukturama zvanim mitohondriji. “Špinat je bogat nitratima koji pojačavaju protok krvi i kisika u mozak za bolju mitohondrijsku izvedbu”, objašnjava nutricionistica Chrissy Barth.
Velika studija otkrila je da se za svakih 50 miligrama povećanja unosa nitrata iz prehrane rizik od razvoja demencije smanjio za osam posto, a najveća korist zabilježena je upravo kod nitrata iz povrća poput špinata.
Podržava pamćenje i fokus
Kronična upala u mozgu poznati je faktor rizika za stvaranje amiloid-beta plakova koji se povezuju s Alzheimerovom bolešću i gubitkom moždanih funkcija.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
“Špinat je jedan od glavnih izvora luteina, antioksidansa koji voli mozak i štiti neurone od stresa te podržava pamćenje i fokus”, ističe nutricionistica Katie Schimmelpfenning. Istraživanja potvrđuju da su osobe s višim razinama luteina imale manje promjena na mozgu povezanih s Alzheimerovom bolešću, što ukazuje na zaštitnu ulogu ovog antioksidansa.
Prirodni je izvor folata
“Samo pola šalice kuhanog špinata osigurava otprilike jednu trećinu vaše dnevne potrebe za folatom, vitaminom B ključnim za zdravu funkciju mozga”, kaže nutricionist Hennis Tung.
Dok je uloga folata u razvoju mozga fetusa odavno poznata, novije studije pokazuju da je jednako važan i kasnije u životu. Starije osobe s nedostatkom folata imaju veći rizik od demencije, vjerojatno zbog njegove uloge u smanjenju razine homocisteina i potpori popravka DNA u moždanim stanicama.
Jača vezu između crijeva i mozga
Zdravlje naših crijeva izravno je povezano sa zdravljem mozga. Prehrana bogata fitokemikalijama, korisnim spojevima iz biljaka poput špinata, može povećati antioksidativnu aktivnost u crijevima i smanjiti upale. Uz to, bakterije u crijevima fermentiraju vlakna iz špinata i proizvode kratkolančane masne kiseline koje dodatno smanjuju upale i štite živčani sustav.

Mumbai, August 22: Evolution doesn’t clock out. And according to scientists, the human body is quietly undergoing some major anatomical changes. Thanks to our modern lifestyles filled with takeout, thermostats, and smartphones, certain body parts are becoming obsolete, slowly but surely disappearing from future generations.
Some human body parts serve no purpose despite once having a specific function among our ancestors. From body hair and wisdom teeth to the appendix, researchers say five specific features may one day vanish completely. Here’s a list of what your great-great-great-grandkids won’t be missing. Ozempic Vulva – What Is It? The Lesser-Known Side Effect on Women’s Health After Using the Miraculous Weight Loss Drug, Can You Fix It?
List of Body Parts Future Humans May Lose Due to Modern Lifestyle
Hair
Body hair once helped our ancestors stay warm, ward off bugs, and even sense threats. Now? It’s mostly a grooming nuisance. Modern clothing, central heating, and social norms (not to mention razors) have made body hair increasingly redundant. With less need for insulation and more pressure to stay smooth, body hair is already finer and sparser. Scientists say we’re well on our way to erasing the evidence that we were once cavemen.
Wisdom Teeth
Third molars, better known as wisdom teeth, helped prehistoric humans chew tough roots and raw meat. But, with our soft, processed diets today, they’re more of a pain than a perk. About 1 in 5 people are now born without all four wisdom teeth. Our shrinking jaws and easier meals mean evolution might get rid of this dental dead weight altogether. Sickle Cell Anaemia in India: Over 6 Crore Screened, 2.16 Lakh Identified As Diseased, Health Minister JP Nadda Tells Parliament.
Tailbone
The coccyx, or tailbone, is a leftover from when our ancestors had actual tails. While it still helps anchor pelvic muscles, it doesn’t do much else, except cause pain if you fall on it. Some scientists believe this vestigial vertebra may eventually shrink away or disappear completely.
Appendix
Appendix was once essential for digesting tough plant fibres, but it is now more trouble than it’s worth. Modern diets of cooked, processed food have made this tiny pouch nearly useless. While it may still help with gut bacteria, the appendix causes appendicitis. It’s also one of the most frequently removed organs.
Ear Muscles
Congratulate yourself if you can wiggle your ears. You are in the minority. Only 10-20% of people can still activate their auricular muscles, the tiny tissues that used to swivel our ears toward danger. Think of them as the human version of cat ears, once vital for survival, now more of a novelty. As we’ve traded forests for concrete flats, these muscles no longer serve a functional role.
Scientists believe that in the not-so-distant future, these body parts may vanish altogether. So enjoy them, if you can, while they last.

PSI SU POZNATI po svojim smiješnim nestašlucima, a minijaturni jazavčar Jasper Brown najnoviji je dokaz te tvrdnje. Ovi maleni psi poznati su po svojoj znatiželji i ljubavi prema uvlačenju na najneobičnija mjesta, no Jasper je otišao korak dalje i pronašao savršeno mjesto za odmor u kosi svoje vlasnice, piše dogtime.com.
U jednom trenutku vlasnica Hope Elizabeth se opuštala, a već u sljedećem njezin je jazavčar odlučio da mu dekica nije potrebna jer je njezina bujna kosa savršeno mjesto za drijemanje. Njezina iznenađena reakcija govori sve, dok Jasper izgleda potpuno zadovoljno svojim odabirom.
Snimka koja je postala viralna na društvenim mrežama prikazuje Jaspera kako se udobno smješta u dugu kosu svoje vlasnice, kao da je riječ o gnijezdu stvorenom samo za njega. Gledatelji su oduševljeni ovim neobičnim prizorom.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Viralni hit na internetu
Uz video stoji i duhovit natpis: “Jazavčari nemaju granica”, što Jasperov potez savršeno potvrđuje. Svatko tko je ikada imao “psa kobasicu” zna koliko je ova izjava istinita. Dok vlasnica u nevjerici shvaća što se događa, psić izgleda kao da je pronašao svoje mjesto pod suncem.
Video je u kratkom roku prikupio više od 6.1 milijuna pregleda i 663 tisuće lajkova, dokazujući da se ljudi jednostavno ne mogu zasititi ovakvih simpatičnih prizora.
Urnebesna scena izazvala je lavinu komentara obožavatelja. “To je sada njezina posebna dekica”, našalio se jedan korisnik. Drugi je dodao: “Pa, ako joj ne dopustiš pod kožu (njihovo preferirano mjesto), onda će biti u tvojoj kosi!”. Mnogi su se složili da je prizor “nevjerojatno smiješan” te priznali kako bi i njihovi jazavčari mogli učiniti isto.

BIRKENSTOCK se ponovno udružio s njujorškim brendom Kith – stiže nova verzija jedne od njihovih najtraženijih silueta.
Prvi put predstavljene krajem 2023., London Braided cipele nisu bile prva suradnja ovih dvaju brendova, ali jesu prva potpuno nova zajednička silueta. Model je stekao poseban status među ljubiteljima mode, a nove verzije i boje redovito su nailazile na veliki interes.
Predstavljene na reviji u New Yorku
Sada je suradnja podignuta na novu razinu. Umjesto modela London, Kith je za osnovu uzeo popularni Birkenstock Boston, piše Highsnobiety. Novi pleteni model premijerno je predstavljen na reviji Kith za jesen/zimu 2025., koja je privukla veliku pažnju u New Yorku.
Revija je označila Kithov povratak na modne piste nakon šest godina, a obilježena je upravo redizajniranom verzijom jedne od njegovih najuspješnijih suradnji – s Birkenstockom. Iako su mnogi Birkenstock modeli popularni, pletene verzije nastale u suradnji s Kithom – od Londona do najnovijeg Bostona – posebno se izdvajaju elegancijom.

Stižu u tri boje
Nove pletene klompe stižu u tri varijante: klasičnoj taupe boji, krem-bijeloj s pletenim duginim detaljima te potpuno novoj čokoladno smeđoj nijansi, koju je na pisti nosio njujorški reper Dave East. Cijena Boston Braided modela je 320 eura, možete ih vidjeti ovdje.
Uz njih, osnivač Kitha Ronnie Fieg predstavio je i niz drugih suradnji, uključujući šest modela adidas tenisica profinjenog izgleda te posebno zanimljivu trostruku suradnju s adidasom i Clarksom na modelu UltraBOOST, povodom 200. obljetnice brenda Clarks.
O Kithu
Kith je osnovan u New Yorku 2011. godine, a pokrenuo ga je Ronnie Fieg, zaljubljenik u tenisice i dugogodišnji suradnik velikih sportskih brendova. Od male trgovine prerastao je u globalno ime koje danas ima dućane od Tokija do Pariza te brojne suradnje s luksuznim brendovima poput Versacea, BMW-a i Giorgia Armanija.
Osim odjeće i obuće, Kith nudi i posebno iskustvo kupovine kroz konceptualne trgovine i Kith Treats barove sa sladoledom i doručkom. Kith je zamišljen kao lifestyle brend koji spaja modu, dizajn i osjećaj zajedništva.
Njegov moto Just Us naglašava pripadnost, a svaka kolekcija nosi dozu urbane elegancije i nostalgije. Kroz ograničena izdanja tenisica, posebno osmišljene prostore i suradnje s raznim brendovima, Kith pokazuje kako moda može biti više od odjeće – može postati iskustvo i stil života.

The play follows salesman Loman who feels the pressure to bring his family back on track after prioritising his work life over it. This is not the first adaptation of Death of a Salesman. The 1951 film of the same name, starring Fredrich March and Mildred Dunnock as Willy and Linda Loman, earned five Oscar nominations. There is also a 1985 adaptation featuring Dustin Hoffman and Kate Reid as Willy and Linda Loman, as well as one from 1996 starring Warren Mitchell and Rosemary Harris in the same roles.
Under the revised plan, the closing auction is expected to be a 20-minute session from 3.15 to 3.35 pm, instead of the originally proposed 3.30 to 3.45 pm
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has proposed a revised framework for its Closing Auction Session (CAS) in the equity cash market, including the timing, structure and applicability.
SEBI had proposed the auction framework in December to determine stock closing prices, replacing the current Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) method, which does not allow trades at the exact closing price.
20-mte session
Under the revised plan, the closing auction is expected to be a 20-minute session from 3.15 to 3.35 pm, instead of the originally proposed 3.30 to 3.45 pm. This will see four sub-sessions for order entry, matching, and confirmation.
The price band during the order input and random closing session has also been suggested to be narrowed to ±3 per cent from the reference price instead of ±5 per cent proposed earlier.
With the change in timings of CAS, the time period for calculating the reference price based on VWAP has also been cut to 15 minutes from the current 30-minute window. Accordingly, the reference price is suggested to be based on the VWAP of the last 15 minutes from 3:00-3;15 pm of the continuous trading session (CTS).
Index rebalancing
With CAS, the regulator aims to reduce volatility, particularly during index rebalancing and derivatives expiry, and bring India’s closing price mechanism in line with global markets. SEBI has invited public feedback by September 12.
The consultation paper has also proposed permitting passive mutual funds to undertake overnight borrowing to meet the liquidity requirements arising out of any net negative cash balances on account of the trades undertaken in CAS.
The draft paper noted that passive investments through MFs and FPIs has seen significant growth with assets under management close to ₹30 lakh crore at the end of July.
For NAV stability
CAS provided a more stable and less volatile closing price compared to the volatility often observed under VWAP based closing price methodology, where large institutional trades executed towards the end of the VWAP calculation window, could create sharp intraday price swings as the market absorbed these flows in real time.
Under the revised proposal CAS would be applicable only to the stocks that are available for trading in derivative segment, and then based on the experience gained may be extended to all stocks at a later stage.
“I’ll have what she’s having.” A memorable punch line, but not much of a menu strategy — unless you believe that best-selling qualifies as a cuisine.
And yet I keep seeing the same dishes over and over, often on menus whose identities are defined mostly by popularity: goat cheese salad, a riff on Buffalo chicken wings, Caesar salad, avocado toast, mac and cheese reboots and their upscale cousin, cacio e pepe. Chili crisp on top of everything but dessert.
Chef David Chang single-handedly transformed Brussels sprouts from a sad fall-season also-ran to a year-round star when he opened Momufuku in 2004 in New York City — the addition of bacon and kimchee will do that — and to this day variations on that amped up little cabbage are a menu staple far beyond Chang’s empire. We’ve graduated from a quest for the unique to menus crowded with versions of familiar favorites, as more and more of us seem content with less and less, choice-wise.
I will not call out a single restaurant by name because they’re in enough trouble as it is, between an uptick in operating costs and a downturn in the number of diners who’ll get off the couch at mealtime. Tariffs could knock avocado toast off the popularity list unless Mexico gets an unlikely exemption, and profitable wine lists will shrink. Restaurants are understandably more risk averse than ever, so I wish them profits and survival even as I turn away from the ones that ride the culinary slipstream.
Homogeneity is an awfully polite euphemism for the national agenda right now, as the federal government ushers people of color out of the U.S. and encourages people whose color is white to come on in. Nothing is immune to the exclusionary mindset, not the arts, sports, medical research and healthcare; not even daily life, where sameness takes hold in more subtle ways.
The mash-up hit parade menu is a pendulum swing away from where we were just a few years ago, when a hard-core definition of authenticity ruled, and a clear link between a chef’s background and the menu was as essential as knife skills. No more. Anyone cooks anything, as long as it has a proven track record: In a single night a chef might be a pizzaiolo, a New England lobsterman, a wings- or guac-master.
I’m not recommending cultural food purity — it would limit me pretty much to my grandmother’s brisket and kugel, if I were a chef — but there has to be a sweet spot between that attitude and lowest common denominator food. A dish’s origin story should involve something more interesting than the number of units sold.
I often turn for refuge to ethnic spots, long a traditional portal for immigrants who build their families’ future on dishes they grew up with, places where I’m unlikely to encounter generic options. And yes, I am aware of the sad irony: Authenticity, in this case, only adds to these restaurants’ precarious state because owners, workers and diners who weren’t born here are vulnerable to ICE showing up without a reservation.
The threat is everywhere, but announcing one’s roots on a menu, right now, feels riskier still.
There’s an ever-expanding row of food stalls on a busy street near where I live, and at first I saw them as incubators for ambitious cooks serving an array of international dishes. The food truck Evil Cooks is now a brick-and-mortar operation whose owners were 2025 James Beard semifinalists for best chef, California region, their second time on the list. It’s a nice dream; it could happen again.
But lately I walk by even if I have other dinner plans, just to see that everyone is still there — the taco operation, the shawarma guys, the Korean stand, the new Peruvian stall. The visibility that was these eateries’ best asset now seems like their biggest drawback.
I rely on old standbys, too, places that figured out who they were years ago and have stuck with it. There’s a nice logic when they introduce dishes; the new stuff plays well with others rather than making me scratch my head at the disconnect.
I imagine that a proponent of the greatest-hits menu will say it’s diversity on a plate, but I don’t buy it. To me, it’s constraint masquerading as diversity. We pull back and pretend otherwise, and the narrower our field of vision becomes, the larger the terrain we define as not us, not ours.
I appreciate that sometimes we’re after comfort food when we go out to eat, that what we crave is an experience that dredges up happy memories of the same dish we’re staring it, which is one reason classics keep selling.
I’m as happy as anyone to stand in line for a bagel sandwich here, there or everywhere, if I so choose. Or to take my pick of any of the four blister-crust pizzas within five minutes of my front door. I just don’t want a Top 10 mentality to be the default. I don’t always want to have what she’s having.

Vegas casino CEO says Sin City may be ‘outpricing itself’
Derek Stevens, owner and CEO of casinos and resorts in Las Vegas, tells Fox News Digital how dining habits are evolving as tourism drops in Sin City, with many visitors calling out high food prices in the popular vacation destination.
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
During a recent board meeting of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), officials addressed factors that have contributed to the decline of tourists this summer in Sin City.
Steve Hill, the group’s president, spoke of the impact tariffs are having on both returning and potential new visitors.
“Some of the decisions our administration has made around international relations [have] caused a drop in tourism,” said Hill, according to local outlet KTNV Las Vegas. He noted in particular a drop in Canadian visitors.
VEGAS CASINO OWNER FIRES BACK AT ‘EXAGGERATED’ CLAIMS OF SIN CITY’S DEMISE
Others have pointed to the high prices in Vegas.
Circa Resort & Casino CEO Derek Stevens told Fox News Digital, “I think some people are feeling Vegas is maybe pricing itself out.” (See the video at the top of this article.)
“I think some people are feeling Vegas is maybe pricing itself out,” said one Sin City insider. (Circa Casino & Resort)
“Getting a steak in Las Vegas is not as inexpensive as it used to be,” he said.
“The days of Vegas being a place to visit because of cheap buffets and things like that are a bit in the past.”
“As with any other city, things evolve.”
He added, “I understand how a number of people are talking about missing some of those elements — but as with any other city, things evolve.”
Stevens acknowledged that the state of Vegas tourism is a nuanced one — and that overall, the restaurant business is very challenging.
LAS VEGAS CASINO CULTURE SUFFERS REJECTION BY GAMBLERS OF YOUNGER GENERATIONS
Circa has a total of 11 dining options, including restaurants, bars and cafés.
“I think every property owner wants to design a very broad-ranging restaurant selection because people like to eat where they wake up,” Stevens said. “They like to get coffee where they wake up.”
Vegas visitors are “a bit more adventurous at lunch, although it has to be convenient” for them, said one insider. (iStock)
The industry has taken notice, he said, that visitors are “a bit more adventurous at lunch, although it has to be convenient” for them.
“And then [for] dinner, you’re competing against the entire city,” Stevens continued. “Everybody’s trying to go to the new hotspot.”
Other contributing factors
The Culinary Workers Union, which represents 60,000 Vegas workers, recently renewed or created several new contracts with major casinos in the city.
LAS VEGAS CASINO CULTURE SUFFERS REJECTION BY GAMBLERS OF YOUNGER GENERATIONS
“There was a relatively new culinary union contract that was signed that increased some costs,” Stevens said.
Ted Pappageorge, secretary-treasurer of the Culinary Workers Union, previously told Fox News Digital that companies had frozen hiring and were making targeted cuts to part-time workers’ hours.
“If it continues, it could bleed into the full-timers,” he added.
There has been “aggressive price-gouging by hospitality venues,” said one consultant. (Circa Casino & Resort)
Pappageorge also called the tipped income tax exemption in President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” a “welcome relief.”
He pointed out, however, that if workers aren’t “making the tips, the credit doesn’t help.”

Some industry observers have said the issues are more local.
“Many attribute [Vegas’ current problems] not only to a general dip in international travel demand to the U.S., but also to aggressive price-gouging by hospitality venues,” Rob DelliBovi, a consultant and founder of the Miami-based RDB Hospitality Group, previously told Fox News Digital.
“Guests are pushing back on $18 bottles of water in the minibar and $37 martinis.”(iStock)
“Guests are pushing back on $18 bottles of water in the minibar and $37 martinis.”
Still, Stevens of Circa takes a more measured view.
“It’s not as if the sky is falling,” he said, according to The Associated Press.

Circa has introduced inexpensive package deals to lure those with less money to spend.
“Vegas continues to reinvent itself as a destination worth visiting,” he said.

WBJEE Results 2025 OUT: The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board on Friday declared the WEBJEE Results 2025 after weeks of delay following a Supreme Court order.
The result came after the Supreme Court on Friday stayed an order of the Calcutta High Court that had directed the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board (WBJEEB) to scrap its existing merit list.
The WBJEE Results 2025 were declared today for entry to undergraduate engineering, technology, architecture, and pharmacy courses in state-run and state-aided universities.
Although the exam was held on April 27, the results saw an unusual delay this year due to the legal tussle, sparking protests in political circles. A bench of Chief Justice BR Gobind Singh passed the order following the West Bengal government’s plea challenging the HC order.
“WBJEE results have been published,” board chairperson Sonali Chakraborty Banerjee told PTI.
She added that once the legal issue over publication was resolved, the board declared the results in the interest of students.
Where to check WEBJEE Results 2025?
Students can check their WBJEE Results 2025 on the official website of WBJEEB at wbjeeb.nic.in and wbjeeb.in.
The final answer key of WBJEE can also be checked on wbjeeb.nic.in.

WEBJEE Results 2025: Meet the toppers
This year’s toppers of WBJEE are — Aniruddha Chakrabarti of Don Bosco School, Park Circus, Samyajyoti Biswas of Kalyani Central Model School, Dishant Basu and Aritro Ray of Delhi Public School, Ruby Park, Trishanjit Doloi of PURV International School Durgapur and Sagnik Patra of Midnapore Collegiate School.
On Monday, the WBJEE Board issued a circular directing candidates to upload their SC, ST, and OBC certificates on the official website.
The submission window closed on Thursday, clearing the final hurdle for publication.
Back to school is always a great time to pick up a deal on a new laptop for the upcoming semester, and the Asus CX15 Chromebook is available at Walmart for $159. It may not be the fanciest option, but it has a sizable screen and a full keyboard with a numpad, all for less than the cost of a new textbook. If you’re just looking for a no-frills Chromebook for occasional web-based work and a slightly larger display, this is a great deal.
Photograph: Luke Larsen
When it comes to performance, the CX15 isn’t terribly exciting, with an Intel Celeron N4500 and 4 GB of memory. Fortunately, that should be fine for regular note-taking, email sending, and essay editing, with most of that work happening in your browser anyway. The extra-large 15-inch screen is great for putting two windows next to each other while getting some work done, or for watching a movie in the evening, even if the color accuracy isn’t the best.
The Chromebook CX15 is available in two colors, a classic and professional Pure Gray as well as a more fun and friendly Fabric Blue. Both feature the full-size keyboard, which is going to make writing out long paragraphs more comfortable, and the full numpad for you math and science nerds out there. The touchpad isn’t our favorite, with some occasional clunkiness, but you could do a lot worse for the price.
It has only 120 GB of internal storage, which is fairly common for Chromebooks, because it’s expected you’ll lean heavily on Google’s cloud storage options. To that end, the Asus Chromebook CX15 includes three months of the Google One AI Premium Plan, which includes 2 TB of cloud storage as well as a variety of AI-enhanced tools. You’ll also get three months of YouTube Premium, which gives you an ad-free experience while watching videos and listening to music.
If the Asus Chromebook CX15 isn’t speaking to you, there are several other deals currently running on some of our other favorite Chromebooks. We’ve also put together a list of our favorite back-to-school laptop deals if you’re specifically looking for a new laptop to bring to class or the library.
KAD POSLIJEPODNE energija padne, većina posegne za kavom ili slatkišima. No stručnjaci za prehranu ističu da postoji puno bolji izbor za mozak – šaka orašastih plodova. Bademi, orasi, lješnjaci ili pistacije ne samo da brzo zasite, nego dugoročno podržavaju zdravlje mozga i štite kognitivne funkcije.
Zašto baš orašasti plodovi?
Orašasti plodovi bogati su zdravim mastima, posebno omega-3 masnim kiselinama i polifenolima, koji pomažu u smanjenju upala u tijelu i mozgu. Orasi su posebno poznati kao “hrana za mozak” jer sadrže alfa-linolensku kiselinu (ALA), biljni oblik omega-3 masnih kiselina koje sudjeluju u održavanju moždanih stanica.
Osim toga, orašasti plodovi sadrže vitamin E, snažan antioksidans koji pomaže u zaštiti moždanih stanica od oksidativnog stresa. Neka istraživanja povezuju redovitu konzumaciju orašastih plodova s boljom memorijom i manjim rizikom od kognitivnog pada.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Koliko je dovoljno?
Nutricionisti preporučuju šaku (oko 30 grama) orašastih plodova dnevno. To je dovoljno da se dobije energija, zdrave masti i vlakna, bez prevelikog unosa kalorija. Idealno ih je jesti samostalno ili u kombinaciji s voćem, primjerice, orasi s jabukom ili bademi s bobičastim voćem.
Brza i praktična opcija
Za razliku od mnogih drugih grickalica, orašasti plodovi ne zahtijevaju pripremu, lako ih je ponijeti na posao i mogu stajati dugo bez kvarenja. Upravo zato stručnjaci ih ističu kao jedan od najboljih popodnevnih međuobroka: hranjivi su, zdravi i praktični.

NEOBIČNA situacija jutros se odvila na Jarunu kada je bjelouška odlučila potražiti zaklon u spremištu radnog materijala na prostoru sportskih objekata.
Djelatnici Ustanove Upravljanje sportskim objektima odmah su kontaktirali Sklonište za nezbrinute životinje Grada Zagreba i zatražili pomoć. Iako su iz Skloništa strahovali da će se zmija sakriti prije njihova dolaska, sve je riješeno zahvaljujući brzoj reakciji jednog zaposlenika Ustanove. On je bjeloušku pažljivo uhvatio i stavio u kutiju na sigurno, što je dokumentirano i fotografijom.
Iz Skloništa poručuju da građanima inače ne savjetuju samostalno hvatanje divljih životinja, posebno onih bolesnih, ozlijeđenih ili onih koje uđu u građevinske objekte. No, naglašavaju da ih uvijek raduje kada netko uspije pomoći životinji, pritom pazeći i na vlastitu sigurnost.

Bjelouška će u Skloništu proći veterinarski pregled, a ako se utvrdi da je zdrava, bit će vraćena u prirodu.
Bezopasna zmija
Stručnjaci podsjećaju da bjelouška nije otrovna zmija te da ne predstavlja opasnost za ljude. Riječ je o najčešćoj vrsti zmije u Hrvatskoj koja se često može susresti uz jezera, rijeke i bare, a osobito na područjima poput Jaruna. Hrani se uglavnom ribom i vodozemcima te igra važnu ulogu u prirodnom ekosustavu.
Iako mnogi građani pri pogledu na zmiju reagiraju strahom, važno je znati da je bjelouška potpuno bezopasna i korisna. Ako se pronađe na neobičnom mjestu, najbolja je opcija kontaktirati nadležne službe koje će je sigurno premjestiti natrag u prirodu.

Haljina u vrlo svijetloj breskvastoj nijansi, prozračna i lagana, dolazi s dugim rukavima i strukom naglašenim trakom koja se veže u mašnu. Kratki, lepršavi kroj daje joj ženstveni i mladenački karakter, a istovremeno ostavlja dojam profinjenosti.
Outfit je zaokružen zlatnim sandalama na visoku petu, koje vizualno produžuju noge i unose dozu glamura. Kao kontrast nježnim tonovima haljine, istaknula se tamna Balenciaga Hourglass mala kožna torbica – upečatljiv komad koji unosi luksuznu notu i jasno definira cjelokupni look.
Kombinacija romantične haljine, minimalističkih sandala i statement torbice odiše sofisticiranim ljetnim lifestyleom – savršenim za večeru na otvorenom, koktel-druženje ili elegantnu proslavu u prirodi.

Brent Hinds, the former singer-guitarist for the Grammy-winning heavy metal band Mastodon, has died in a motorcycle accident in Atlanta, the band and authorities said. He was 51.
Hinds was killed while riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle late Wednesday night when the driver of a BMW SUV failed to yield while making a turn, according to Atlanta police. Hinds was described as “unresponsive” at the scene. An autopsy concluded Hinds, whose legal first name is William, died of “multiple blunt force injuries.”
“We are heartbroken, shocked and still trying to process the loss of this creative force with whom we’ve shared so many triumphs, milestones, and the creation of music that has touched the hearts of so many,” the band said on social media.
Mastodon had three albums rise into the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart and two that topped the Rock Album chart — “Emperor of Sand” in 2017 and “Once More ’round the Sun” in 2014.
Hinds co-founded Mastodon in 2000 with bassist Troy Sanders, guitarist Bill Kelliher and drummer Brann Dailor. Mastodon’s third studio album, 2006’s “Blood Mountain,” was their first to reach the Top 40, peaking at No. 32 on the Billboard 200.
Hinds left the band in March 2025. No reason for the departure was given. The band said they had “mutually decided to part ways,” but comments made by Hinds on Instagram indicated a rocky relationship with the members of his former band.
“We’re deeply proud of and beyond grateful for the music and history we’ve shared and we wish him nothing but success and happiness in his future endeavors,” the band said at the time.

When I want to feel closer to my late grandmother — and to my great-aunt, aunts and cousins — I drive to Burbank. I head directly to the cookie case at Monte Carlo Italian Deli, passing beneath the wooden puppets that line the walls, and scan the rows of sweets for pignoli. I wander the aisles, still dumbstruck after all these decades: the countless jars of giardiniera, every twist and shape of dried pasta on offer, the familiar buzz of customers around the deli case all waiting for their number to be called.
Our favorite places to eat and drink in the 818. From high-end sushi to burger shacks, tiki bars, dives and more.
By my count at least four generations of the Petrucelli line, by blood or by marriage, have loved shopping here, where retro neon signage welcomes you to a cornucopia of Italian excellence. On one side of the building is Monte Carlo, a well-stocked market and importer, and on the other, Pinocchio’s: what feels like the last vestige of 1960s red-sauce, cafeteria-style dining.
It’s a relic and a palace, built of sausage links, frozen manicotti, gasoline-like canisters of olive oil and a confounding Pinocchio theme. It should be made a local landmark and protected for as long as Los Angeles remains standing.

Informed by her New Jersey-born mother-in-law, in the ’90s my own mother would cart me along to the deli, where the staff would gift me and every child a long, spindly breadstick, as is still their tradition. In adolescence I would line up at Pinocchio’s and pick out affordably priced wedges of lasagna and eggplant parmesan or the house-made Italian sausages with wilted green peppers over pasta, always served on muted pink cafeteria trays, and always with my favorite side dish: the tart marinated mushrooms, boiled in vinegar then coated in oil and flecked with spices.
Now in adulthood, it’s where I find solace and connection to my family. Sometimes I’ll meet my cousin Victoria, sipping sub-$5 glasses of wine and sliding into well-worn leather booths in one of the brick- or wood-accented dining rooms. Now expecting her own child — who’ll undoubtedly become the fifth generation of our family to fall in love with this magical market — she asks me to send photos of the heaps of garlic bread when unable to muster the strength for her own visit. She doesn’t know it yet, but I’ll be stopping by for that garlic bread on the way to her baby shower in a few weeks.

The legacy of shopping at Monte Carlo isn’t limited to the Petrucellis. According to co-owner Tony Scuticchio, many of the customers here are multigenerational; he’s seen children grow up and begin their own lineage.
He estimates 80% of his patrons live in the San Fernando Valley, but some make the pilgrimage from Las Vegas to shop four or five times a year, while others come from Palm Springs whenever they’re in town.
“The customers make it so pleasant,” he says. “They’re so appreciative and they love it. We have a lot of Italians that come in here, old-school Italians, and they even go back to, ‘When I was in Italy, we did this,’ ‘When I was in Italy, I did that.’”
It’s been a family affair since 1969, when Croatia-born Mark Brankovich Sr. purchased the 1950s-founded Monte Carlo deli. Though not himself Italian, “He always felt that he was more Italian than the Italians were,” Scuticchio says with a laugh. Brankovich spoke Italian, and lived in Italy during World War II; at one point, the family lore goes, he was arrested by Mussolini’s troops, then released after his uncle called in a favor. After moving to the U.S., he never returned. But he did buy an Italian deli along Magnolia Boulevard.
In 1971 he also purchased the adjacent liquor store, flipping that into Pinocchio’s, and eventually bought the next-door bar to expand his dining room. When he died in 2001, his daughter, Laura, took the reins, and not long after that, she fell in love with Scuticchio, who operates the business.

Scuticchio had owned his own grocery stores in Los Angeles and his own father — born in Italy — operated restaurants at the Santa Monica Pier in the 1960s. Sliding in to take over the deli was, he felt, right in line with his own work experience and heritage. Now he and Laura have a 19-year-old daughter who has helped scoop the gelato through the years.
Their kitchen whips up 2,500 meatballs and between 3,000 and 4,000 sausages every week, plus 80 gallons of meat sauce and 30 gallons of the marinara each day. Preparation begins at 7 a.m. daily. The bread is made freshly for the deli around the corner, by a bakery that the deli used to also own.
But no time is as busy as the holidays, when the deli hums from morning to night.

“Christmastime is so busy because everybody gets back to their roots,” Scuticchio says. “You have people that say, ‘My grandmother used to make lasagna,’ or ‘My grandmother used to make these raviolis,’ ‘My grandmother used to make manicotti.’ Everybody just gets back to what their family has done. So I think that’s really unique.”
Some form of stuffed pasta in red sauce can be found on my own family’s table, be it Christmas, Thanksgiving or Easter. A few years ago I placed a call to my Aunt Carol, who was organizing the holiday feast; I was heading to Burbank anyway, and would she like me to pick up anything from Monte Carlo for the dinner?
No need, she told me. She’d already made the trip for frozen ravioli the day before.
In an attempt to boost the career prospects of students from Uttar Pradesh, the Yogi Adityanath government has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the United Kingdom to offer the prestigious Chevening Scholarship Programme in the state.
The UP government’s new international scholarship programme, rolled out under the scheme Chevening UP Atal Scholarship, has been designed for students who have shown exceptional academic performance.
As per the agreement, up to 15 students from Uttar Pradesh will be eligible for full financial support to pursue a one-year master’s degree in Britain.
“The UK Government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Government of Uttar Pradesh to offer the prestigious Chevening Scholarship Programme in the state. Under the agreement signed today in Lucknow in the presence of CM Yogi Adityanath and British High Commissioner Lindy Cameron, up to 15 scholars from the state will be eligible for full financial support to pursue a one-year master’s in the UK,” the British High Commission to India said in an official statement.
“The Chevening programme in India is the largest in the world, benefitting over 3,900 scholars and fellows since 1983, demonstrating the UK’s commitment to developing the leaders of tomorrow. Chevening alumni use their world-class education and global networks gained in the UK to create meaningful, lasting change when they return home, whether by tackling global challenges or making a tangible impact in their own communities,” the statement added.
The MoU was signed in the presence of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and British High Commissioner Lindy Cameron in Lucknow.
The cost of sponsoring each student from the state would be around ₹45-48 lakh. Half of the cost will be borne by the UP government, while the other half will be funded by the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth And Development Office (FCDO).
“It’s wonderful to be here in Lucknow today to sign with the Chief Minister the agreement on the new Chevening scholarships which we’re announcing together between the United Kingdom and Uttar Pradesh. This will give the opportunity for five students every year for the next three years to go to the UK on a fully funded scholarship, which is part of the fantastic and growing relationship between the United Kingdom and India,” High Commissioner Cameron told ANI.
The most talked-about TV show in the country right now, South Park, is on Paramount+. Don’t you want to know what got Trump in such a tizzy?
Stream the much buzzed-about South Park, fan-favorite Yellowstone, original series MobLand, and rebooted crime drama Dexter & Dexter on Paramount+. The streaming network has a bingeable TV series for almost everyone. And whether you want to remember Lindsay Lohan’s old face in the classic Mean Girls flick, or wonder just how many more sequels Tom Cruise has left in him with Top Gun: Maverick, there’s a bevy of films to stream, too.
If you’re like me and have at least half a dozen streaming services, our Paramount+ coupon codes can help you save so you can watch the content you want without having to get rid of one of your other beloved content platforms. (I love pretending the world isn’t full of suffering around me and instead focus on Sylvester Stallone’s ever-changing Play-Doh face in Tulsa King.)
Try Paramount+ Free With a One-Week Trial
If you’re unsure if you’ll actually want to commit to Paramount+, or if there’s a sports event like the Super Bowl or March Madness games and you only need to access the content for a little while, Paramount+’s free trial is a great option. The trial lasts one week, is for new subscribers only, and can’t be paired with other offers.
There are tiered plans, including Essential, which allows for 3 devices, select Showtime series, NFL games, and can be streamed on up to 3 devices at once, but has ads; and Premium, which includes all that except there are no ads, downloadable content, CBS live, and all of Showtime content.
Save on a Paramount+ Subscription With Student and Military Discounts
If you’re a student now (or have your student ID lying around somewhere), you can get a Paramount+ plan at only $4 a month. All you have to do is verify your student status and you’ll get 50% off any plan of your choosing for the first year. Or if you’re a military member, Paramount+ gives 50% off any subscription for life.
Stream Live Sports and Events on Paramount+
For better or worse, I’m a Chiefs fan (cue the booing). I usually get a Paramount+ plan during the football season to keep up with my favorite beefy, TBI-ridden men. You can stream all of the NFL coverage you want all season long, plus, 24/7 live channels are now streaming on Paramount+, so you’ll never need to give your brain the time to process the horrors.
Watch Paramount+ Originals and Fan Favorites
There’s truly something for everyone in the family, with movies, kids’ shows, and Paramount+ originals included in every plan. If you’re feeling spooky, I’d recommend Dexter: Resurrection, or Yellowjackets, but if you’re looking for something more family-friendly, there’s super popular cartoons like Rango or Sonic the Hedgehog to choose from. Check out the wide breadth of TV and movie content to choose from on Paramount+ (and use the Paramount+ promo codes above to save on whatever plan you decide).
MNOGI paze na prehranu kako bi održali vitku liniju, ali često zaboravljaju koliko hrana utječe na zdravlje najvažnijeg organa – mozga. Dugoročna konzumacija nezdravih namirnica i pića može ozbiljno narušiti njegove funkcije. Srećom, prehrana koja potiče zdravlje mozga nije komplicirana, a neurolog s klinike Mayo, dr. Bing, izdvojio je pet lako dostupnih namirnica koje dokazano “povećavaju snagu mozga”, piše SheFinds.
Lisnato zeleno povrće
Nije slučajno da su nas roditelji poticali da jedemo zeleno povrće. Namirnice poput špinata, kelja i brokule izuzetno su korisne za cjelokupno zdravlje, a posebno za mozak. Dr. Bing ističe da je lisnato zeleno povrće “prepuno hranjivih tvari” za koje je dokazano da mogu “usporiti kognitivni pad”.
“Zamislite ih kao gorivo za vaše moždane stanice”, slikovito objašnjava. Ako vam jedenje sirovog zelenog povrća predstavlja izazov, pokušajte ga skuhati ili pirjati. Termičkom obradom smanjuje mu se volumen, što ga čini lakšim za konzumaciju, a može postati i ukusan prilog jelima.
Masna riba
Iako je svaka riba dobar izvor proteina, neurolog posebno izdvaja masnu ribu poput lososa, sardina i bakalara kao izuzetno korisnu za zdravlje mozga. “Ove su ribe pune omega-3 masnih kiselina, koje su povezane s nižim razinama beta-amiloida, proteina koji stvara štetne nakupine u mozgu ljudi s Alzheimerovom bolešću”, pojašnjava dr. Bing.
Preporučuje konzumaciju dvije porcije tjedno, a onima koji ne vole ribu savjetuje biljne izvore omega-3 masnih kiselina, kao što su lanene sjemenke i orasi.
Bobičasto voće
Ljubitelji jagoda, borovnica i kupina imaju razloga za slavlje. Ovo ukusno voće nije samo poslastica, već i moćan saveznik zdravlja mozga. “Bobičasto voće poput jagoda, kupina i borovnica prepuno je flavonoida, koji su neki od najsnažnijih antioksidansa i mogu pomoći u poboljšanju vašeg pamćenja”, navodi dr. Bing.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Uz to, ističe kako bobičasto voće ima protuupalna svojstva, može smanjiti rizik od razvoja raka te pridonosi jačanju imuniteta.
Kava i čaj
Dobre vijesti za sve koji dan ne mogu zamisliti bez kave ili čaja. “Za sve ljubitelje čaja i kave, studije su pokazale da kofein poboljšava fokus i čak može pomoći u učvršćivanju novih sjećanja”, objašnjava dr. Bing. Jutarnja doza kofeina doista može razbuditi mozak i dati nam energiju.
Ipak, neurolog upozorava na umjerenost i savjetuje da se ne pretjeruje s količinom. “Pokušajte ne unositi kofein poslijepodne, što može utjecati na vaš san”, dodaje kao ključan savjet za očuvanje kvalitetnog odmora.
Orašasti plodovi
Šaka orašastih plodova idealna je zdrava grickalica, a kada je riječ o zdravlju mozga, orasi se posebno ističu. “Orašasti plodovi, posebno orasi, bogati su vrstom omega-3 masnih kiselina koja se naziva alfa-linolenska kiselina (ALA), koja je povezana s poboljšanim kognitivnim performansama i boljim zdravljem srca, a oboje je ključno za održavanje vašeg mozga u vrhunskoj formi”, kaže dr. Bing.
Orasi su vrlo svestrani – možete ih dodati u jogurt, zobenu kašu ili ih jednostavno jesti same kao hranjiv međuobrok.

ZLATNI retriveri poznati su po svojoj prijateljskoj i blagoj naravi, no ponekad svoje vlasnike znaju iznenaditi nevjerojatnom snalažljivošću. U to se uvjerio i jedan vlasnik kada mu je susjed poslao snimku nadzorne kamere na kojoj se vidi kako njegov pas Jake uživa u plivanju u susjedovu bazenu, a zatim se, kao da se ništa nije dogodilo, vraća kući, piše dogtime.com.
Snimka s nadzorne kamere, koju je vlasnik dobio od susjeda, prikazuje Jakea kako bezbrižno pliva. “Moj susjed mi je upravo ovo poslao”, stoji u opisu videa. Nakon što se osvježio, Jake izlazi iz bazena, preskače ogradu i vraća se u svoje dvorište, točno na vrijeme prije nego što ga itko primijeti.

Vlasnik se našalio u opisu objave: “Mama je rekla da budem kod kuće prije večere…”. Preslatka snimka je u dva dana postala viralna na Instagram profilu domišljatog zlatnog retrivera. Do sada je prikupila više od 1.5 milijuna pregleda i više od 80 tisuća lajkova.

Pri kreiranju rubrike Index Shopping nastojimo izdvajati odlične proizvode koji se i nama sviđaju te odlične akcije i popuste. Ne objavljujemo proizvode koje i sami ne bismo kupili ili smatramo da njihova promocija nije u skladu s profesionalnim standardima. Neki proizvodi u rubrici Index Shopping mogu biti sponzorirani.
KOLOVOZ se bliži kraju, a mnogi žele iskoristiti zadnje zrake sunca, tako da su plaže i bazeni i dalje puni. Među njima je i Ana Gruica koja se pohvalila fotografijama s bazena na kojima je pokazala prekrasan kupaći kostim koji nas je odmah zaintrigirao.
Kupaći kostim je bijele boje, krojen tako da izgleda pleteno. Gornji dio je u bandeau stilu, a bakreni detalji daju mu posebno elegantan izgled.
“Najzgodnija Hrvatica”
Pletene tkanine su posvuda ovog ljeta, a nisu zaobišle ni kupaće kostime. Ako ste imali zadršku prema njima, vjerujemo da će vam Anin izbor dokazati kako takvi kupaći kostimi mogu izgledati nevjerojatno elegantno.
Glumičina je objava na Instagramu prikupila preko 1000 lajkova, a mnogi su joj u komentarima jasno dali do znanja da izgleda fenomenalno: “Dvodijelni kupaći je top”, “Divota”, “Jako lijepo”, “Predivna”, “Najzgodnija Hrvatica”, pisali su.
Ako se i vama svidio njezin kupaći kostim, u nastavku možete pronaći slične modele. Ako ne za ovo ljeto, svakako za sljedeće.

India national cricket team wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson is featuring in the Kerala Cricket League (KCL) 2025 edition. Ahead of the KCL 2025, the star cricketer Samson was sold to Kochi Blue Tigers for a record-breaking amount of INR 26.80 lakh. Samson became the most expensive player in KCL history, surpassing M. S. Akhil, who was sold for INR 7.4 lakh to Trivandrum Royals last season. Who is Saly Samson? Know All About Sanju Samson’s Elder Brother and Kochi Blue Tigers Teammate in Kerala Cricket League 2025.
Sanju Samson played his first KCL 2025 match for Kochi Blue Tigers against Adani Trivandrum Royals at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram on Thursday, August 21. As he stepped on the field, fans noticed that the Indian cricketer could be seen wearing a Dhoni logo jersey, which was printed on the back of his jersey. In this article, fans will get all entire information about why Kochi Blue Tigers player Sanju Samson was seen donning Dhoni’s logo jersey.
Why is Dhoni Written on Back of Sanju Samson’s Jersey in Kerala Cricket League?
Indian cricket legend MS Dhoni launched his ‘Dhoni App’ earlier this year. The Dhoni App is a sponsor of the Kochi Blue Tigers side during the Kerala Cricket League 2025 edition, and hence Sanju Samson’s jersey was printed with the Dhoni App sticker at the back like all the other players of the team.

A Russian state-backed messenger application called MAX, a rival to WhatsApp that critics say could be used to track users, must be pre-installed on all mobile phones and tablets from next month, the Russian government said on Thursday.
The decision to promote MAX comes as Moscow is seeking greater control over the internet space as it is locked in a standoff with the West over Ukraine, which it casts as part of an attempt to shape a new world order.
The Russian government said in a statement that MAX, which will be integrated with government services, would be on a list of mandatory pre-installed apps on all “gadgets,” including mobile phones and tablets, sold in Russia from September 1.
State media denies accusations from Kremlin critics
State media says accusations from Kremlin critics that MAX is a spying app are false and that it has fewer permissions to access user data than rivals WhatsApp and Telegram.
Which apps are mandatory?
It will also be mandatory that from September 1, Russia’s domestic app store, RuStore, which is pre-installed on all Android devices, will be pre-installed on Apple devices.
A Russian-language TV app called LIME HD TV, which allows people to watch state TV channels for free, will be pre-installed on all smart TVs sold in Russia from January 1, the government added.
The push to promote homegrown apps comes after Russia said this month it had started restricting some calls on WhatsApp, owned by Meta Platforms, and on Telegram, accusing the foreign-owned platforms of failing to share information with law enforcement in fraud and terrorism cases.
WhatsApp, which in July had a reach of 97.3 million in Russia, responded by accusing Moscow of trying to block Russians from accessing secure communications, while Telegram, which had a reach of 90.8 million users, said it actively combats the harmful use of its platform.
The third most popular messenger app in July, according to Mediascope data, was VK Messenger at 17.9 million people, an offering from the same state-controlled tech company VK which developed MAX.
MAX said this week that 18 million users had downloaded its app, parts of which are still in a testing phase.
MAX safer than foreign rivals?
Russia’s interior ministry said on Wednesday that MAX was safer than foreign rivals, but that it had arrested a suspect in the first fraud case using the new messenger.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is exploring measures such as extending the tenure and maturity profile of equity derivatives contracts in a “calibrated” manner to check excessive speculation, reduce retail losses and volatility, Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey said on Thursday.
Speaking at the FICCI Capital Market Conference 2025, Pandey said, “We will consult with stakeholders on ways to improve in a calibrated manner the maturity of derivative products so that they better serve hedging and long-term investing,” he said.
However, the plan is still at a conceptual stage, Pandey said on the sidelines of the event. Shares of BSE and Angel One fell 5 per cent each on Thursday amid concerns that removal of weekly derivatives contracts could dent their revenues.
SEBI whole-time member Ananth Narayan said the industry would be given adequate time to adjust. “We are considering ways to improve the tenor and maturity profile of derivative products so that they better support sustained capital formation and foster all-around trust in the ecosystem,” he said.

The regulator’s focus is also on deepening the cash equity market through possible incentives or margin relaxations. Average daily traded volumes in the cash segment have grown over 25 per cent annually in the past five years to more than ₹1 trillion, but short-term derivative volumes have risen even faster.
Framework on cards
SEBI is also examining a product suitability framework for the equity derivatives segment to ensure participation is informed, suitable, and appropriate for investors. “Here again, stakeholder engagement will be key–we are open to all constructive ideas,” Narayan said.
The regulator has also formed a special team inside the surveillance department, along with NSE, to study its surveillance following alleged derivatives manipulation by US-based firm Jane Street, said WTM Kamlesh Varshney.
Retail participation in derivatives has surged sharply in recent years, prompting SEBI to limit the number of weekly expiries, raise lot sizes, and introduce a slew of other curbs. A recent SEBI study showed that retail investors’ losses widened by 41 per cent to ₹1.06 lakh crore in FY25 in equity derivatives, with 91 per cent of individual traders continuing to incur losses.

It hits me like a wall as the glass doors slide open: an unidentifiable scent — toasted, warm and slightly sweet. At international markets, smell, inextricably linked to our memories and emotions, is often a one-way plane ticket home. Imported laundry detergent, tightly sealed jars of hard-to-find spices, fragrant incense and loose teas are all olfactory postcards.
At Q Market & Produce in Lake Balboa, this is no different. Its scent, while unrecognizable to me, is a reminder to others of life in Iran. And for some, one of the only tangible links for the Iranian community in the San Fernando Valley.
“I would love to go to Iran,” manager Bobby Nosrati tells me. “I want to go get that feeling of home. Obviously it feels like home here, but I want to go feel it. I want to smell it. I want to show my kids where I was born.”
Nosrati’s family moved from Tehran to the Valley in 1991 when he was just 5 years old. When asked what he remembers most from that time, he simply says, “I remember my parents’ red couch.”
Nosrati’s father, Farzin, worked long hours on a farm in Camarillo before making the decision to become a retailer; he wanted to build something for fellow Persian immigrants. Q Market opened in 1993 and has remained at the original Vanowen Street location ever since. While Nosrati has made adjustments here and there to keep up with customer requests (most recently appeasing the throngs of teenage Dubai chocolate fanatics by stocking pistachio cream), the market has, for the most part, stayed the same.
Head to the spice aisle at Q Market to find a 20-gallon black plastic bucket filled to the brim with dried limes.
Strings of plump, young dates sit tangled together near the cash register, their wrinkled elders side-eyeing them from across the aisle “back in my day”-style. Next to the dates, a library of lavashak, the puckery fruit leather, like ancient scrolls written in pomegranate and apricot, lay unfurled and stacked to the sky.
At the deli, massive hunks of feta soak in tubs against a backdrop of pale pink butcher paper. Tubes of mortadella overflow from the cold case, pressing into the glass as if they yearn to escape.
Two butchers sit on either side of the building, one halal, the other glatt kosher. At the end of the spice aisle, like a period at the end of a sentence, a 20-gallon black plastic bucket filled to the brim with dried lime.
Although Nosrati has few memories of Iran beyond the big red couch, he recognizes the importance of importing ingredients straight from the source. Easier said than done, given the contentious trade relationship between the U.S. and Iran. But by employing distributors in Canada and Turkey, Q Market, like Persian markets nationwide, has made do.
He walks me through the aisle of products from Iran, touching skinny bottles of sour cherry syrup best enjoyed in bubbly water or over ice cream, rows of Istak, a nonalcoholic malt beverage, and large sacks of Iranian rice.
Q Market’s selection of lavashak, the puckery fruit leather — sheaves of it “stacked like ancient scrolls written in pomegranate and apricot”; mortadella and other meats crammed in a deli display case; and blocks of feta.
“The smell is why a lot of people end up buying it. It fills up the room. You could probably smell it from here.” Nosrati says of the rice. “To me, it smells like heaven.”
The rice boasts a hefty price tag based on its weight, quality and scarcity (a 10-pound bag starts at $57.99), a price that has only risen given the recent tariffs, now at the highest rates since the Great Depression.
“The tariffs are affecting us and we’re trying our best not to pass that onto the consumer,” Nosrati says. “Obviously, I can’t sell things for less than we’re buying them, but we’re not keeping the same margins anymore; we’ll cut the margin in half to help the consumer with that tariff.”
When asked about the importance of keeping these ingredients stocked, he speaks of the gravity of consistency and tradition.
Large sacks of Iranian rice that “smell like heaven” can boast a hefty price tag, which has only risen because of tariffs.
“Maybe you’re making that dish once a month or once a week for your family, but if you don’t have that one ingredient, you can’t make it. … We didn’t have [Iranian rice] for six months. A lot of containers just sat there in customs for months on end. Some of this stuff isn’t shelf stable and that time affects the integrity of the product; a lot of companies told me they had to throw their stuff away.”
I begin to inquire about the Iranian brand of Cheetos (called Chee.Toz) when Nosrati politely asks me to hold that thought, and pops over to the dairy aisle to ask about a customer’s recent doctor’s visit. There are plenty of moments like this during our chat, moments in which Nosrati reminds me of a grocery’s role as community center.
It can be seen in the aisle with crystal clear bottles of water of every flavor and function: rose, orange blossom, fenugreek, cinnamon, peppermint, anise. A sign hung at the endcap in English and Farsi explains which flavor one should drink for a stomachache, joint pain or kidney health. Near the front entrance, a CD shop sells albums with covers of women in blue eyeshadow next to a bead curtain, and concert tickets for old-school Iranian artists.
Restocking fresh greens in the produce section; necklaces sold inside a small shop at the back of the market; and a sign at the end of the the oil and vinegar aisle shows which distilled water is best for which ailment.
“When I first started working here about 12 years ago, people would call and say, ‘Hey, what will the weather be like tomorrow?’ or ‘When’s daylight savings time?’ I went to my dad and told him, ‘People are nuts! Why are they asking me these questions, this is a grocery store!’ He told me, ‘You need to understand, we’re their pillar for a lot of things. Some of these customers are older, so they don’t understand how to use technology.’”
Perhaps Q is more than a community center; perhaps it’s an embassy. And for second and third generations, an embassy to a place they’ve never visited, or hardly remember or hope to see soon, but can’t imagine when.
An Iranian flag is displayed inside a small shop located inside the market. Fresh tomatoes and other produce arrive at Q Market.
Earlier this summer, the U.S. struck three Iranian nuclear facilities, an attack ordered without congressional approval and against the recommendation of the administration’s intelligence. Shortly before, Israel, with the financial support of the U.S., bombed six Iranian airports, along with several residential and military areas of the city, prompting a 12-day conflict that displaced nearly 9 million from the country’s capital, and escalating a decades-long history of tension in the area. Based on this alone, one would assume, if one was Iranian, that the U.S. has no vested interest in the commemoration or understanding of Persian culture. One would assume that the fragrant smell of Persian rice, or the big red couch, relics of immense personal significance, are as expendable as a military dollar. Q Market, by way of existing, challenges this assumption, and Angelenos, by way of visiting, echo it loudly.
In the back office next to a large wooden abacus, a framed photo of Mt. Damavand, a volcanic mountain in the northern part of Iran, watches out over the Nosratis’ operation. We never get back around to discussing Iranian Cheetos; it feels somewhat trivial now. Instead I ask Bobby about extended family in Iran, most of whom have relocated overseas. His cousin, an actor, still lives in Tehran, and the two keep up on Instagram and WhatsApp. I ask if he’d ever want to come out and do some acting in L.A.
“Oh, he would love to! He would thrive. He’s really good too. Navid Nosrati, that’s his name.”
A photograph of Mt. Damavand from market owner Farzin Nosrati’s hometown hangs in his office.
A Canadian woman took to TikTok earlier this month to share that a cocktail she drank while traveling abroad left her blind. Her message was blunt: “A shot can kill you.”
Ashley King, who lost her vision after methanol poisoning stemming from a drink she had while on vacation in Bali, recently released a video along with a petition to increase awareness of the potentially deadly chemical lurking in some cocktails. In her case, the drink she was given reportedly came in a reusable plastic bottle.
Methanol is a compound typically reserved for industrial processes and found in the likes of gasoline, antifreeze and paint thinner. It is severely toxic to humans when ingested, according to multiple health agencies.

In some cases, it is added to alcohol to extend the supply, reported the Methanol Institute, a trade association.
“In developing countries around the world, in the black market, methanol is often added to alcohol to expand the volume of liquid,” King said in her Aug. 4 video.

King also claimed that the tainted alcohol is then sold back to restaurants, bars, hotels and other drinking establishments.
“It smells no different and it tastes no different from the alcohol that we typically drink,” she said in her petition.
If a drink does include methanol, the person who consumes it can experience severe poisoning, blindness or even death, according to multiple medical sources.
YOUR FAVORITE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE COULD BE LINKED TO DEADLY FORM OF CANCER, STUDY FINDS
Earlier this summer, a U.S. tourist died in Laos after suspected alcohol poisoning, Fox News Digital previously reported.
Authorities tied the death to tainted liquor sold in a resort town. It was an extreme reminder that even drinks ordered while on vacation can carry hidden risks.
“This doesn’t need to happen, but it does,” King said in her video, briefly touching on the Laos incident. “And not enough people know about it.”

The same pattern has been reported elsewhere.
In Iran, at least 10 people died in 2023 after drinking homemade liquor spiked with methanol, AP previously reported.
Europe has also seen similar crises. A Central European outbreak in 2012 left 19 people dead and 24 hospitalized after vodka and rum batches were found to contain methanol, per AP.

People experiencing methanol and ethanol poisoning may suffer from headaches, blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, loss of coordination and decreased level of consciousness, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes.
“Just as little as 30 milliliters of it — a shot — can kill you. And 15 milliliters of it can make you go blind, have organ failure, liver damage and even brain damage,” said King, who is an actor, writer and advocate today.

To reduce risk, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that travelers refrain from purchasing illegal alcoholic drinks.
They should also avoid alcoholic drinks in unlabeled containers and steer clear of unsealed or suspiciously cheap drinks.

Vivilumens Sunrise Alarm Clock for $41: This sunrise alarm works fine but seems better suited as a desk lamp than a true sunrise alarm. But it could be a fun pick if you live in a studio and need a device that can both work for your desk or your bedside alarm. It also has a USB-A charging port and can show time as 24 or 12 hour.
Philips SmartSleep Wake-Up Light (HF3520/60) for $149: This might sound similar to the lamp we recommend above, but it has a different shape and is missing the word “Sleep” from the name because it doesn’t offer a nighttime routine like our top pick. But it still works great as a morning sunrise lamp, and similar to the other Philips model, it’s easy to set up without any instructions on hand. It’s a good affordable model, but not as cheap as other options with similar offerings.
Lumie BodyClock Glow 150 for $139: This cute little clock worked fine, but our other picks are bigger and brighter. You could get the WiiM for the same price, or the Philips HF3520 for even cheaper.
Lumie Bodyclock Luxe 700FM for $259: This is my true favorite sunrise alarm, with 27 sounds and two dials on the front to easily control both sound and brightness level. It’s a bigger, brighter sunrise clock that’s great for bigger bedrooms, too. It’s out of stock on Amazon right now and has limited stock on Lumie’s site, but should be back in stock this fall.
Hatch Restore 2 for $85: Hatch isn’t selling this model any longer, but you can find it refurbished on some third-party retailers and sites like Walmart and eBay. It’s a fine device that gives you the same app and sound offerings as the Hatch Restore 3, but the Restore 3 has much better controls. I recommend skipping this device for the newer model.
Philips SmartSleep Sleep and Wake-Up Light for $220: We previously recommended this sunrise lamp, formerly known as Somneo. Its name is nearly identical to our top pick, and it has the same shape. The Connected version had an app and extra capabilities similar to the WiiM, but it’s no longer available.
FAQ
How Do Sunrise Clocks Work?
Your body is built to wake naturally with the sunrise and feel sleepy as the sun sets. The light at both the beginning and end of the day is a warm, golden tone, unlike the midday bright, slightly blue sunlight that keeps you wide awake. A sunrise alarm clock mimics this transition from morning to bright daytime light, helping to signal your body to wake up (or fall asleep, if the clock also has a sunset option).
Each model we recommend offers a sunrise routine, meaning you choose a time to wake up and then the sunrise clock will start displaying a deep orange glow and transition to a bright light by the time your audio alarm is set for. Some offer customization, allowing you to choose how long you want that artificial sunrise to be, while others have set timers. Some also allow the reverse option with a sunset routine and can double as sound machines. Most of these plug into the wall like a classic alarm clock and stay put, though sometimes there’s a companion app or recharging capabilities (if it’s not mentioned, though, assume it doesn’t).
What Should You Look For in a Sunrise Alarm Clock?
There’s a lot of features to consider in a sunrise lamp, but which ones that you’ll like best vary by person.
If you struggle to fall asleep: splurge on a sunrise alarm with a nighttime or wind-down routine. These help build a routine for you to fall asleep to.
If you need a bedside lamp and sunrise clock: get a brighter sunrise clock that has easy controls to switch it on as a bedside lamp. Not all sunrise clocks have these, so check the details carefully (and reviews like ours)
If you want a specific bedside sound: check how many sounds are offered. Just about every sunrise clock has some sound machine features and options, but cheaper ones tend to only have a couple of sounds and might not have the sound you’re looking for.
If you want app control: some options in this guide don’t have a partner app or Wi-Fi capabilities, especially some of my favorites. An app doesn’t necessarily make it a better sunrise clock, but it can be convenient to use. If you prefer an app to set up your sunrise lamp, shop the Casper, Hatch, Loftie, and WiiM.
Do Sunrise Alarms Work for Heavy Sleepers?
Yes! I’m an especially heavy sleeper in the morning and these can still help me wake up. You might want to choose the most gradual increase of brightness on the sunrise lamp you choose, so that the slow brightening of the room can better slowly rouse you from that deep sleep.
What’s the Difference Between a Sunrise Clock and a SAD Lamp?
These two gadgets might look similar on the outside, but sunrise clocks and other wake-up style lights are for waking you up, while a SAD or seasonal affective disorder lamp is designed to simulate sunlight for you during the day. SAD lamps perform light therapy to help combat seasonal depression during darker times of the year, while sunrise alarms are just for making morning wake-up less rough. Both can help regulate your circadian rhythm, but in different ways. You could set a sunrise clock to stay on all day to help simulate sunlight, though these don’t promise the same benefits and you might not get the help you’re looking for.
If You Share a Bedroom, Can You Share a Sunrise Clock?
From my testing, I would say no, especially if you’re both deep sleepers or struggle with waking up in the morning. While my sunrise alarm does brighten up the room to a certain extent, not all of them brighten the room fully. Even for the ones that do, the light is the strongest on the bedside table next to my face, and it wouldn’t be the same experience without what feels to be bright sunlight shining through my closed eyelids. You’ll both want your own wake-up light, and some lights are cheaper to buy in a pair like the Casper.
How Does WIRED Choose Sunrise Clocks to Test?
We research all models in advance to see which ones are a fit for testing. We look to ensure they have wake-up features (some SAD lamps will look similar to a sunrise alarm, for example, but if there’s no gradual sunrise to wake up to they don’t qualify for testing with this guide) and look to test a variety of price points and additional features to see what’s really worth buying. We make an effort to select both more affordable options with less features and high-end options to compare and contrast against one another in our testing rounds.
How Does WIRED Test Sunrise Clocks?
I tested each recommended sunrise clock on my bedside in a room with blackout curtains to see how much it could really brighten a room over the course of its sunrise routine. I slept with each model for anywhere between one and seven nights, depending on its performance. I also tried out the various sound options each machine had to offer to both test the speakers and see how pleasant the sounds were to wake up or fall asleep to. If there was a nighttime routine option, I tested that too.

ĐUMBIR je jedna od češćih namirnica u našim kuhinjama, a njegova ljekovita svojstva poznata su već više od 2500 godina. Ovaj aromatični korijen podrijetlom iz Azije tradicionalno se koristi protiv mučnine, upala i prehlade. Novija istraživanja pokazuju da može pomoći i u zaštiti srca, smanjenju kolesterola te čak u prevenciji demencije i raka.
Kada je riječ o kolesterolu, znanost potvrđuje učinkovitost đumbira. Veliki pregled 26 kliničkih studija iz 2022. godine pokazao je da redovita konzumacija đumbira smanjuje trigliceride i LDL, poznat kao “loš” kolesterol, dok istodobno povećava HDL ili “dobar” kolesterol. Osim toga, đumbir može pomoći i u snižavanju krvnog tlaka.
Zanimljivo je da se pozitivan učinak pokazao i pri manjim dozama od 1500 mg dnevno. Jedno ranije istraživanje iz 2004. potvrdilo je da đumbir značajno smanjuje masnoće u krvi u usporedbi s placebom. Budući da povišene razine kolesterola povećavaju rizik od srčanog i moždanog udara, ovakav učinak đumbira od velike je važnosti.
Posebne koristi mogli bi imati oboljeli od dijabetesa tipa 2. Analiza deset studija otkrila je da svakodnevno uzimanje od jednog do tri grama đumbira tijekom nekoliko tjedana poboljšava razine kolesterola i šećera u krvi. Stručnjaci vjeruju da đumbir poboljšava osjetljivost na inzulin, smanjuje oksidativni stres i olakšava unos glukoze u stanice, dok njegova protuupalna svojstva dodatno štite kardiovaskularni sustav.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Zaštita mozga i prevencija raka
Đumbir sadrži spojeve 6-šogaol i 6-gingerol, koji mogu pomoći u zaštiti mozga od degenerativnih bolesti poput Alzheimerove i Parkinsonove. Kronična upala i oksidativni stres povezani su s razvojem demencije, a istraživanja pokazuju da antioksidansi iz đumbira mogu usporiti te procese i očuvati kognitivne funkcije.
Slični spojevi mogli bi imati ulogu i u prevenciji raka. Istraživanje objavljeno u časopisu Cancer Prevention Research pratilo je 20 osoba s povećanim rizikom od raka crijeva. Nakon što su 28 dana svakodnevno uzimali dva grama đumbira, u njihovoj crijevnoj sluznici zabilježene su manje promjene koje bi mogle voditi prema razvoju raka.
Moguće koristi za seksualno zdravlje
Prvi dokazi ukazuju da bi đumbir mogao imati pozitivan učinak i na seksualno zdravlje, no istraživanja na ljudima tek treba provesti. Studije na životinjama pokazale su da đumbir može povisiti razinu testosterona, poboljšati cirkulaciju i seksualno ponašanje. Zbog toga se u mnogim tradicijama koristio i kao prirodni afrodizijak.

As the disclaimer reads in the headlines, beard marriage has nothing to do with facial hair. The word ‘beard’ describes someone’s partner, usually in an LGBTQ+ context. But what does it mean? Is it similar to a lavender marriage? While LGBTQ+ language and slang dictionaries are evolving and expanding, a few words and terms have a long-rooted, fascinating history. Beard is one of them. The diversity and complexities of queer relationships are defined in a wide-ranging manner and beard is another component of this. In this article below, let’s understand the meaning of beard marriage, its history and rise in queer relationships and identity.
What Is a Beard Marriage?
A beard is an antiquated slang term for an individual whose social presence serves to mask aspects of someone else’s true sexual identity from the public. They knowingly or not date or marry a gay person so that the individual can hide their sexuality by appearing as though they are part of a heterosexual relationship and negate any possibility of them being queer. Both parties could be gay, but more specifically, the term refers to a relationship between a lesbian and a gay man. According to The Pink News, a straight man dating or marrying a lesbian is called ‘merkin’ in the US and ‘frock’ in the UK. Friendship Marriage — What Is It?

History and Rise of Beards in Queer Relationships and Identity
One probably question that often arises around the conversation of beards in queer relationships is whether it is similar to a lavender marriage in the LGBTQ+ community. Returning to history, bearding has been around for a long time, but the term was widely used in the 1960s. Before then, such relationships were often referred to as ‘lavender marriages.’ However, over time, even the concept of lavender marriages evolved, with individuals deciding on the foundation of their relationship while still maintaining the traditional roots of marriage. What Is ‘Floodlighting’ in Dating? This New Relationship Trend Can Turn Your First Date Into an Emotional Rollercoaster.
Examples of beard marriages were often documented in Hollywood. The term was normalised in the 1920s as studios began including ‘morality’ clauses in the contracts for actors. Gay actors responded by either self-initiating a bearded relationship or having one arranged for them by the studio with which they were contracted. Hollywood heartthrob Rock Hudson’s closeted sexuality is a bearding case. When a magazine allegedly threatened to expose his homosexuality, he married his agent’s secretary as a cover in 1955. He was only outed to the public after his death in 1985 from AIDS-related complications.
In interviews, The Golden Girls legend Betty White implied that she occasionally bearded for the flamboyantly gay Liberace. That Thing You Do! Star Johnathon Schaech replied to a Reddit Ask Me Anything question explaining his relationship with comedian Ellen DeGeneres. He took her on dates at the request of their shared manager since Ellen was worried no one would watch her show. Later, in 1997, Ellen came out as gay and is now married to Portia de Rossi.
In bearded relationships, both parties are usually aware of each other’s sexuality. Historically, the queer community adopted beards to avoid public scrutiny. However, the Stonewall Uprising in 1969 revolutionised the LGBTQ+ community. Today, the term is still used, and with queer relationships being more accepted in some countries, there is comparatively less need to hide one’s sexuality.

When discussing fabrics, one of the common points of confusion is understanding what is the difference between canvas and cotton. While the two are often mentioned together, they are not the same thing. Cotton refers to the natural fiber harvested from the cotton plant, while canvas refers to a type of fabric that can be made from cotton or a blend of fibers. In simple terms, cotton is the raw material, whereas canvas is a finished product created through a particular weaving process. This difference plays a big role in how each material is used and valued.
Cotton is a soft, breathable, and versatile natural fiber. It is spun into yarn and woven or knitted into fabrics of various weights and textures. Cotton is prized for its comfort, absorbency, and ability to regulate temperature, which is why it is widely used in clothing, bedsheets, and everyday textiles. The fibers are lightweight and fine, making cotton fabrics soft to the touch and comfortable against the skin. Cotton also takes dye very well, allowing for a wide range of colors and patterns. Its main limitations are that it can wrinkle easily, shrink when washed in hot water, and wear down faster compared to stronger fabrics.
Canvas, on the other hand, is a specific fabric known for its strength and durability. Traditionally, canvas was made from hemp, but today it is most often made from cotton or a cotton blend, sometimes mixed with polyester for added resilience. The difference lies in the weave—canvas uses a plain weave with a much higher density than lightweight cotton fabrics. This results in a heavy-duty, tightly woven fabric that is more rugged and resistant to wear and tear. Canvas feels thicker and rougher compared to most cotton fabrics, and it is less likely to tear under stress.
What is the difference between canvas and cotton?
Because of these characteristics, canvas and cotton are used for very different purposes. Cotton, being soft and breathable, is commonly used in apparel such as shirts, dresses, undergarments, and lightweight home goods. Canvas, with its sturdiness, is typically used for items that need to withstand heavy use. It is a popular material for bags, shoes, upholstery, sails, tents, and even painting surfaces. Artists have long favored canvas because of its ability to hold paint well and its durability over time. This shows how canvas, while often made from cotton, serves a completely different role.
Another key difference is maintenance. Cotton fabrics are generally easy to wash and care for, but they may shrink or wrinkle without proper handling. Canvas, being thicker, may be more challenging to wash, especially when used in items like tents or outdoor gear. However, its durability means it lasts longer and performs better under harsh conditions. Some canvas fabrics are treated with waterproof coatings or wax finishes, further extending their utility in outdoor settings.
In conclusion, the difference between canvas and cotton lies in their definitions and applications. Cotton is the natural fiber that serves as a base for many fabrics, while canvas is a heavy-duty woven fabric often made from cotton. Cotton is soft, breathable, and ideal for clothing and household items, while canvas is strong, rugged, and suited for products that require durability. Both materials have their own unique qualities, and understanding the distinction helps in choosing the right fabric for the right purpose.
NOS PSA pravi je radar s mogućnostima koje je teško i zamisliti. Dok se ljudi u svakodnevici oslanjaju uglavnom na vid, psi svijet doživljavaju kroz mirise, “čitajući” priče koje su nama potpuno skrivene. Znanstvenici su otkrili da je dio psećeg mozga zadužen za analizu mirisa čak 40 puta veći nego kod čovjeka. Njihov je njuh od 10.000 do čak 100.000 puta osjetljiviji od našeg, piše Pet Helpful.
Da bismo lakše razumjeli razliku: dok bismo mi uočili žličicu šećera u šalici kave, pas bi je mogao nanjušiti u dva olimpijska bazena. Psi imaju i do 300 milijuna mirisnih receptora, dok ljudi imaju tek oko šest milijuna. Zbog toga mogu otkriti i najmanje tragove mirisnih spojeva u zraku. Njima su dostupne informacije koje našim osjetilima ostaju potpuno skrivene – od promjena u ljudskom tijelu do signala opasnosti u okolini. I dok mi čitamo knjige, psi, kako kažu znanstvenici, doslovno čitaju zrak.
Znanstvenici tek otkrivaju puni opseg psećih sposobnosti. Nedavno su istraživači sa Sveučilišta Bar-Ilan razvili laserski alat koji može pratiti moždanu aktivnost psa u dijelovima mozga važnim za njuh. Takvi eksperimenti mogli bi jednog dana dovesti do uređaja koji će nam pomoći bolje razumjeti što točno psi osjete.
U nastavku slijedi sedam zadivljujućih stvari koje pas može nanjušiti, a čovjek nikada ne bi mogao.
1. Bolesti i zdravstvene promjene
Psi mogu prepoznati bolest i prije nego što liječnik postavi dijagnozu. Kada je tijelo bolesno, kroz dah, znoj i urin oslobađa posebne spojeve koje pseći nos lako otkriva.
Istraživanja su pokazala da psi mogu upozoriti na opasne promjene razine šećera u krvi kod dijabetičara, zbog čega se treniraju kao psi pomagači. Također, mogu s velikom točnošću otkriti određene vrste raka – primjerice dojke, pluća, jajnika i mjehura. Neki su sposobni predosjetiti epileptični napadaj i do 45 minuta prije nego što se dogodi.
2. Emocionalne promjene
Psi izvrsno čitaju emocije jer osjete kemijske promjene u našem tijelu. Kada smo pod stresom, osjećamo strah ili tjeskobu, lučimo hormone poput kortizola i adrenalina. Iako mi ne primjećujemo promjenu mirisa, psi je jasno osjećaju. Zato terapijski psi tako dobro djeluju na ljude – prilagođavaju se našem raspoloženju, ostaju uz nas i instinktivno pružaju podršku.

3. Trudnoća i hormonalne promjene
Psi često primijete trudnoću i prije nego što žena napravi test. Tijekom trudnoće razine hormona naglo se mijenjaju, a to utječe na tjelesni miris. Pas će to odmah osjetiti. Njegovo ponašanje tada se može promijeniti – može postati privrženiji, zaštitnički nastrojen ili se nježno naslanjati na trbuh svoje vlasnice.
4. Sastojci u hrani
Dok ljudi moraju probati hranu da bi otkrili sastojke, pas ih nanjuši i u najmanjim tragovima. Zato se neki psi treniraju da otkrivaju kikiriki i pomažu osobama s alergijama. Ako se u hrani nalazi i mala količina, pas može upozoriti vlasnika i spriječiti alergijsku reakciju. Zbog iste sposobnosti pas zna da ste otvorili vrećicu s poslasticama čak i ako je u drugoj sobi.
5. Vaš jedinstveni miris
Svaka osoba ima vlastiti “mirisni potpis”, poput otiska prsta. Pas vas prepoznaje upravo po tom mirisu. Zato pamti i razlikuje mirise vaših prijatelja, pa veselo reagira kad ih ponovno sretne. Zahvaljujući toj sposobnosti, psi se koriste u potragama i spašavanju, gdje mogu slijediti trag osobe kilometrima daleko.
6. Vremenske promjene i prirodne katastrofe
Psi mogu nanjušiti dolazak kiše, promjene tlaka zraka ili statičkog elektriciteta puno prije nego ljudi. Vlasnici često primijete da njihovi psi postaju nemirni prije oluja ili potresa – cvile, traže zaklon ili se drže blizu svojih ljudi.
7. Smrt i umiranje
Psi ponekad mogu osjetiti kada se život bliži kraju. U tijelu tada dolazi do specifičnih kemijskih promjena koje pas prepoznaje. Poznati su brojni primjeri pasa koji su ostajali uz bolesnike u hospicijima do njihovih posljednjih trenutaka, pružajući im tiho društvo i utjehu.

UZORAK koji je bez ikakve sumnje obilježio ovo ljeto su točkice. Zaigrane i bezvremenske, bile su posvuda – na odjeći, modnim dodacima, pa i na noktima. Točkastu su manikuru pokazale brojne zvijezde, uključujući Hailey Bieber, Kylie Jenner i Duu Lipu, a sada im se pridružila i glumica Sydney Sweeney.
Na svojem je Instagramu podijelila fotografiju svojih sređenih noktiju i otkrila kako je za njih zaslužna Zola Ganzorigt, manikirka iz Los Angelesa koja radi s brojnim slavnim osobama, uključujući Demi Moore, Sofiju Grainge, Sabrinu Carpenter i obitelj Kardashian, a sa Sydney također surađuje već dulje vrijeme.

Sydney je odabrala točkastu manikuru u kombinaciji bijele i tamnocrvene boje, a u nastavku smo izdvojili lakove i alat uz koje ovakvu manikuru bez problema možete rekreirati i sami. Kako biste to učinili, za početak nanesite željenu boju laka kao podlogu, a vrh točkalice umočite u drugu boju laka i lagano pritisnite na nokat. I to je to.

Mumbai, August 21: Australia all-rounder Cameron Green confirmed that his bowling comeback will most likely be in Sheffield Shield cricket rather than during the ODI or T20I series against India that precedes the Test summer. However, he is uncertain about batting at No. 3 in the upcoming Ashes series. The 26-year-old has featured at No. 3 in Australia’s last four Tests, filling the role as a batter-only while recovering from back surgery. After a shaky start, he showed improvement with scores of 26, 52, 46, and 42, the latter two particularly valuable on a difficult Kingston pitch. Ashes 2025–26: Sam Konstas Eyes Strong Sheffield Shield Run To Retain Spot for Australia Cricket Team.
Despite these contributions, Green admitted in Mackay ahead of the second ODI against South Africa that his spot at No. 3 for the Ashes opener in Perth remains uncertain, with Australia still weighing up their top-order combination.
“You never know. I think there’s certainly a lot of guys that can fill that role. I’m really proud that I was able to do a role up there. But, yeah, wait and see,” Green said.
If Green doesn’t occupy No. 3 in the Ashes, Australia’s top six could be reshaped. With Steven Smith and Travis Head settled at four and five, Beau Webster’s No. 6 spot may come under pressure once Green resumes bowling. Usman Khawaja looks set to open, but Sam Konstas faces competition from Jake Weatherald, who chairman of selectors George Bailey confirmed is “in the mix”.
Meanwhile, Marnus Labuschagne’s form remains a key concern heading into the series. Green is expected to return to bowling in the Ashes after gradually building up his loads in training since June, following back surgery. Ashes 2025–26: Beau Webster Ready To Embrace Challenge From Cameron Green for Australia’s All-Rounder Slot.
He has featured only as a batter in recent T20Is and ODIs but is likely to focus on red-ball cricket before the Ashes, with three Sheffield Shield matches for Western Australia in October set to aid his preparation. Australia’s packed schedule against New Zealand and India precedes the Ashes opener on November 21.
“In the past, it’s worked really well when I focused on Shield cricket. So I think that potentially might be the way to go down, especially with working my way back with bowling. Potentially get a few more overs over a few more days might be the best way to go about it. I’m not quite certain on what match (I’ll return to bowling), but I’m feeling really good, in a really good spot. It’s exciting being back bowling at a reasonable intensity. It’s been a long road back,” Green said.

The preview of Aryan Khan’s debut directorial series The Ba***ds of Bollywood was unveiled by Shah Rukh Khan at an event in Mumbai on Wednesday.
SRK introduced the cast of the show in his inimitable style and playful humour. The show boasts an ensemble of Bobby Deol, Lakshya, Sahher Bambba, Manoj Pahwa, Mona Singh, Manish Chaudhari, Raghav Juyal, Anya Singh, and Vijayant Kohli, along with Rajat Bedi and Gautami Kapoor.
The preview takes the viewer into the glam and glitz of Bollywood. Lakshya is introduced as Aasmaan Singh, an outsider on the way to become a superstar. His entourage consists of his live-wire of a friend, played by Raghav Juyal. Bobby Deol is the haughty superstar Ajay Talwar, whose daughter, played by Sahher Bambba, will be a romantic interest to Lakshay’s Aasmaan. Manish Chaudhari is an old school Hindi film producer Sodawallah. while Mona Singh essays the role of Aasmaan’s mother. The preview has glimpses of Karan Johar and Salman Khan’s ‘sweary’ cameos. Ranveer Singh also appears in a scene. The show promises to be quintessential Bollywood and also hints at a lot of meta humour in store. In a scene Lakshya’s Aasmaan is put behind bars and the cop says "One gets more famous after being in jail," a tongue-in-cheek comment on Aaryan’s widely-reported arrest.
Talking about the series, Aryan said, “With The Ba***ds of Bollywood, I wanted to build a world that feels alive, a mix of glitz and grit, where ambition shines, egos clash, and nothing is ever as it seems."
Proud father Shah Rukh, added, "It’s a proud moment to see Aryan carve out his vision with such clarity and edge. This is storytelling that’s sharp, self-aware, and unapologetically bold."
Music for the show has been composed by Shashwat Sachdev, with guest composers Anirudh Ravichander and Ujwal Gupta.
The Ba***ds of Bollywood will premiere on Netflix on September 18.

Coastal towns across parts of the United States are bracing for the wrath of Hurricane Erin, with officials closing beaches and warning of rip currents.
Hurricane Erin has maximum sustained winds of 100 mph, with strengthening expected through Thursday night, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC).
The Tropical Storm Warning is now in effect from Beaufort Inlet, North Carolina, to the North Carolina-Virginia border, as FOX Weather reported.
BEACH VISITORS RISK ‘ARREST’ FOR SWIMMING WITHOUT LIFEGUARD FOLLOWING TRAGIC INCIDENT
Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, has already conducted multiple water rescues on Monday and Tuesday due to rip currents.
“These swells are producing powerful rip currents that can create extremely hazardous swimming conditions,” Sam Proffitt, director of Wrightsville Beach Ocean Rescue, said to FOX Weather.

Forecasters are warning of high winds and life-threatening rip currents into Friday.
Eric Adams, New York City’s mayor, shared a stark warning to beachgoers, noting that public beaches are closed on Wednesday and Thursday.
“Rip currents can sweep even strong swimmers out to sea quickly,” Adams said on X.
DEADLY RIP CURRENT FATALITIES REPORTED AMID SUMMER BEACH SEASON AS EXPERTS WEIGH IN
A tropical storm warning has been placed in effect from Beaufort Inlet, North Carolina, to the North Carolina-Virginia border.
Tropical storm watches, meanwhile, have been placed in Virginia and North Carolina, and in Bermuda.

North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein wrote on X, “Hurricane Erin is expected to impact North Carolina.”
Stein declared a state of emergency “to assist with the response and to mobilize resources.”
Seven individuals were recently caught in a rip current at a beach in Seaside Heights, New Jersey — leaving one dead.

The situation prompted Mayor Anthony Vaz to close swimming in the oceans after hours when lifeguards are off the clock.
He told Fox News Digital those who don’t comply could face “arrest.”

As of Wednesday morning, there were 61 current deaths from rip currents so far this year, according to the National Weather Service.
Tom Gill, United States Lifesaving Association (USLA) vice president, told Fox News Digital that it’s important for visitors to “only swim when lifeguards are on duty.”
“One reason beaches set swimming hours is to provide specific times when swimmers will be protected by lifeguards on duty,” said Gill.

“The USLA has determined the chance of a fatal drowning on a guarded beach is 1 in 18 million,” he said.
Chris Brewster of the USLA told Fox News Digital recently that most people are not aware of rip currents while they’re in the water.
There have been 61 current deaths reported so far this year from rip currents.(@jerseyshorefireresponse / Instagram)
“They notice that they’re further away from the beach than they thought they were, then typically they try to swim back toward the shore and realize they’re making no progress,” said Brewster.
This then “causes panic and that leads them to expend a lot of energy,” he said. That’s what “results in the drowning ultimately.”

“The big picture is that once you realize this is going on, don’t fight the current, because you won’t win,” said Brewster.
“Relax, float and then try to swim out of the rip.”
Jamel Bishop is seeing a big change in his classrooms as he begins his senior year at Doss High School in Louisville, Kentucky, where cellphones are now banned during instructional time.
In previous years, students often weren’t paying attention and wasted class time by repeating questions, the teenager said. Now, teachers can provide “more one-on-one time for the students who actually need it.”
Kentucky is one of 17 states and the District of Columbia starting this school year with new restrictions, bringing the total to 35 states with laws or rules limiting phones and other electronic devices in school. This change has come remarkably quickly: Florida became the first state to pass such a law in 2023.
Both Democrats and Republicans have taken up the cause, reflecting a growing consensus that phones are bad for kids’ mental health and take their focus away from learning, even as some researchers say the issue is less clear-cut.
“Anytime you have a bill that’s passed in California and Florida, you know you’re probably onto something that’s pretty popular,” Georgia state Rep. Scott Hilton, a Republican, told a forum on cellphone use last week in Atlanta.
Phones are banned throughout the school day in 18 of the states and the District of Columbia, although Georgia and Florida impose such “bell-to-bell” bans only from kindergarten through eighth grade. Another seven states ban them during class time, but not between classes or during lunch. Still others, particularly those with traditions of local school control, mandate only a cellphone policy, believing districts will take the hint and sharply restrict phone access.
For students, the rules add new school-day rituals, like putting phones in magnetic pouches or special lockers.
Students have been locking up their phones during class at McNair High School in suburban Atlanta since last year. Audreanna Johnson, a junior, said “most of them did not want to turn in their phones” at first, because students would use them to gossip, texting “their other friends in other classes to see what’s the tea and what’s going on around the building.”
That resentment is “starting to ease down” now, she said. “More students are willing to give up their phones and not get distracted.”
But there are drawbacks — like not being able to listen to music when working independently in class. “I’m kind of 50-50 on the situation because me, I use headphones to do my schoolwork. I listen to music to help focus,” she said.
In a survey of 125 Georgia school districts by Emory University researchers, parental resistance was cited as the top obstacle to regulating student use of social and digital media.
Johnson’s mother, Audrena Johnson, said she worries most about knowing her children are safe from violence at school. School messages about threats can be delayed and incomplete, she said, like when someone who wasn’t a McNair student got into a fight on school property, which she learned about when her daughter texted her during the school day.
“My child having her phone is very important to me, because if something were to happen, I know instantly,” Johnson said.
Many parents echo this — generally supporting restrictions but wanting a say in the policymaking and better communication, particularly about safety — and they have a real need to coordinate schedules with their children and to know about any problems their children may encounter, said Jason Allen, the national director of partnerships for the National Parents Union.
“We just changed the cell phone policy, but aren’t meeting the parents’ needs in regards to safety and really training teachers to work with students on social emotional development,” Allen said.
Some researchers say it’s not yet clear what types of social media may cause harm, and whether restrictions have benefits, but teachers “love the policy,” according to Julie Gazmararian, a professor of public health at Emory University who does surveys and focus groups to research the effects of a phone ban in middle school grades in the Marietta school district near Atlanta.
“They could focus more on teaching,” Gazmararian said. “There were just not the disruptions.”
Another benefit: More positive interactions among students. “They were saying that kids are talking to each other in the hallways and in the cafeteria,” she said. “And in the classroom, there is a noticeably lower amount of discipline referrals.”
Gazmararian is still compiling numbers on grades and discipline, and cautioned that her work may not be able to answer whether bullying has been reduced or mental health improved.
Social media use clearly correlates with poor mental health, but research can’t yet prove it causes it, according to Munmun De Choudhury, a Georgia Tech professor who studies this issue.
“We need to be able to quantify what types of social media use are causing harm, what types of social media use can be beneficial,” De Choudhury said.
Some state legislatures are bucking the momentum.
Wyoming’s Senate in January rejected requiring districts to create some kind of a cellphone policy after opponents argued that teachers and parents need to be responsible.
And in the Michigan House in July, a Republican-sponsored bill directing schools to ban phones bell-to-bell in grades K-8 and during high school instruction time was defeated in July after Democrats insisted on upholding local control. Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, among multiple governors who made restricting phones in schools a priority this year, is still calling for a bill to come to her desk.

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.
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.
This is the best price we’ve seen thus far for our favorite Android tablet. It’s not a high-performance powerhouse, but it can handle the tasks that most people need. You can watch videos (even outdoors in bright sunlight), play most games, and use the included stylus to take notes or efficiently browse the web. The battery lasts about 20 hours and only takes about 100 minutes to recharge.

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.

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.
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. Check our roundup of Labor Day Mattress Deals for additional expert recommendations.
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.

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.
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.
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 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.
WIRED reviews editor 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 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.

We really like this cooler from RTIC, and clipping the on-page coupon gets you 10 percent off the normal price, bringing it within $10 of the best discount we’ve seen. The rotomolded 45-quart cooler is heavy, but the padded handles make carrying it easier, and tester Martin Cizmar hasn’t experienced any issues with ice retention. And unlike coolers from Yeti, this one actually has its full listed capacity available inside. All the better to store your beer.
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.
Home Depot is offering up to 35 percent off a variety of appliances for Labor Day, including washing machines, dryers, refrigerators, dishwashers, and various bundles. This discount also applies to a few robot vacuums that we like from Roborock and iRobot, as well as a large selection of window air conditioners we recommend. If you’re in the market for a new home appliance, this sale is worth checking out.

AKO STE ikada doživjeli nagli popodnevni pad energije ili se bez upozorenja osjetili drhtavo i tjeskobno, uzrok bi mogla biti nestabilna razina šećera u krvi. Održavanje stabilnog šećera ključno je za optimalno funkcioniranje tijela, a upravljanje njime može poboljšati energiju, smanjiti žudnju za hranom i dugoročno podržati zdravlje, piše EatingWell.
Šećer u krvi, poznat i kao glukoza, glavni je izvor energije za naše tijelo. Kada jedemo, tijelo razgrađuje ugljikohidrate u glukozu i otpušta je u krvotok, čime opskrbljuje stanice energijom. No, kod nekih ljudi taj proces ne teče glatko. Konzumacija prevelike količine ili određenih vrsta ugljikohidrata može uzrokovati nagli porast šećera.
Iako povremeni skokovi nisu zabrinjavajući, kronično visoka razina šećera u krvi povećava rizik od inzulinske rezistencije, predijabetesa i dijabetesa. “Niska razina šećera u krvi, poznata i kao hipoglikemija, može doprinijeti simptomima poput vrtoglavice, zbunjenosti i slabosti, utječući na svakodnevne aktivnosti”, kaže dijetetičarka Patricia Kolesa.
Srećom, postoje jednostavni koraci koje većina nas može poduzeti kako bi razina šećera u krvi ostala stabilna tijekom cijelog dana. U nastavku izdvajamo najbolje savjete dijetetičara.
Jedite redovito tijekom dana
Ako često preskačete obroke, to bi se moglo negativno odraziti na vaš šećer u krvi. “Preskakanje obroka može dovesti do padova šećera u krvi, zbog čega se možete osjećati umorno, drhtavo ili razdražljivo”, ističe dijetetičarka Lauren Manaker, registrirana dijetetičarka.
Umjesto da preskačete doručak ili ručak, pokušajte jesti u redovitim intervalima. Ako nemate vremena za potpuni obrok, posegnite za uravnoteženim međuobrokom poput sira i krekera od cjelovitih žitarica ili jogurta s voćem i orašastim plodovima. Tako pomažete tijelu da održi stabilnu opskrbu energijom i smanjujete rizik od naglih promjena razine šećera.
Jedite više topivih vlakana
“Iako su svi izvori vlakana korisni u prehrani, topiva vlakna koja se nalaze u namirnicama poput zobenih pahuljica, graha i lanenih sjemenki doprinose stabilizaciji šećera u krvi”, objašnjava Kolesa.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Tajna njihove učinkovitosti leži u tome što se topiva vlakna otapaju u vodi i stvaraju tvar sličnu gelu. Taj gusti gel usporava probavu i apsorpciju ugljikohidrata, što rezultira glađim i postupnijim otpuštanjem glukoze u krvotok.

Birajte minimalno obrađene ugljikohidrate
Vrsta ugljikohidrata koje unosite može značajno utjecati na razinu šećera u krvi. Rafinirani ugljikohidrati, prisutni u bijelom kruhu, bijeloj riži, perecima, zaslađenim žitaricama i slatkim pićima, mogu uzrokovati brze skokove šećera, pogotovo ako se konzumiraju samostalno.
Kako biste to izbjegli, prednost dajte složenim ugljikohidratima bogatim vlaknima. Birajte kruh, tortilje i tjesteninu od cjelovitog zrna, zobene pahuljice, kvinoju, smeđu rižu, grah i leću. Dobro je pravilo da barem polovicu unesenih žitarica čine cjelovite žitarice.
“Za razliku od rafiniranih žitarica, cjelovite žitarice su minimalno prerađene i sadrže veće količine vlakana”, kaže Kolesa. “Vlakna se sporo probavljaju, što rezultira postupnim porastom šećera u krvi.”
Ne zaboravite na proteine
Za razliku od ugljikohidrata, čija probava počinje već u ustima, proteini se probavljaju tek u želucu i to znatno sporije. Zbog toga je manja vjerojatnost da će uzrokovati nagli porast šećera u krvi. Ipak, nisu svi izvori proteina jednako dobri. Stručnjaci preporučuju nemasne proteine iz graha, edamamea, tofua, ribe, peradi bez kože, jaja i mliječnih proizvoda s niskim udjelom masti.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Ostanite hidrirani
“Hidracija igra ključnu ulogu u upravljanju šećerom u krvi jer voda pomaže bubrezima da izbace višak šećera putem urina”, ističe Manaker. “Kada ste dehidrirani, šećer u krvi može postati koncentriraniji, što dovodi do viših razina glukoze.”
Znakovi dehidracije uključuju vrtoglavicu, umor, izraženu žeđ te rijetko mokrenje i tamnu boju urina. Ako zaboravljate piti vodu, pokušajte postaviti podsjetnik na pametnom telefonu.
Ograničite unos alkohola
“Alkohol može imati nepredvidive učinke na šećer u krvi”, upozorava Manaker. “Može uzrokovati opasno niske razine, pogotovo ako se konzumira na prazan želudac, jer ometa sposobnost jetre da otpušta glukozu. S druge strane, slatka alkoholna pića mogu uzrokovati skokove.”
Istraživanja su također pokazala da čak i male količine alkohola mogu povećati rizik od inzulinske rezistencije. To ne znači da se morate u potpunosti odreći pića, ali ako ste skloni promjenama šećera u krvi, bezalkoholni koktel s niskim udjelom šećera mogao bi biti bolji izbor, piše Eating Well.
Smanjite dodane šećere
“Konzumiranje previše dodanog šećera, pogotovo kada nije upareno s vlaknima, proteinima i zdravim mastima, može uzrokovati brze skokove šećera u krvi, nakon čega slijede padovi koji vas ostavljaju umornima i gladnima”, kaže Manaker.
“S vremenom, česti skokovi mogu opteretiti sposobnost tijela da regulira šećer u krvi, povećavajući rizik od inzulinske rezistencije i dijabetesa tipa 2”, dodaje ona. Jedan od najboljih koraka za stabilizaciju šećera jest izbjegavanje slatkiša, kolača i zaslađenih pića. Kada osjetite želju za slatkim, svježe voće uvijek je zdraviji izbor.

ZOOLOŠKI vrt Grada Zagreba danas je podijelio snimku crvenih ibisa koji uživaju u svojoj nastambi. Crveni ibisi su egzotične ptice močvarice podrijetlom iz Južne Amerike, koje plijene pozornost svojom intenzivno crvenom bojom..
“Kakva raskoš!! Naši crveni ibisi lako će vam oduzeti dah! Ponosni smo na njihovu predivnu boju! Za nju su jako zaslužni kolege iz Odjela za pripremu hrane za životinje”, navode iz Zoološkog vrta Grada Zagreba.

Boja koja ovisi o prehrani
Jedna od najzanimljivijih karakteristika crvenih ibisa jest činjenica da njihova boja perja uvelike ovisi o prehrani. Kako ističu iz Zoološkog vrta, “boja perja crvenih ibisa ovisi o njihovoj prehrani. Da bi ostala intenzivno crvena, u njihov jelovnik moraju biti uključeni škampi i druge visokoproteinske namirnice. Bez takve prehrane, njihovo perje postupno blijedi.”
Osim dojmljive boje, crveni ibisi poznati su i po zanimljivom ponašanju tijekom udvaranja. Naime, mužjak i ženka tijekom udvaranja međusobno isprepliću svoje duge vratove. Ovaj ritual dodatno naglašava njihovu gracioznost i eleganciju.

NAKON hit japanki, brend The Row, sestara Olsen, ima novi “it” komad – Dune jaknu. Ova dva komada ne dijele samo ime već i sudbinu – odmah po dolasku rasprodali su se i gotovo ih je nemoguće uloviti. Također, baš poput japanki i ovu jaknu su u svoju garderobu uvrstile brojne trendseterice, čiji stil mnogi kopiraju.
Riječ je o predimenzioniranoj tehničkoj jakni od najlonskog platna s dvostrukim patentnim zatvaračem, podesivim elastičnim ovratnikom, manžetama i rubom te bočnim džepovima s patentnim zatvaračem. Upečatljiva je zbog jarke crvene nijanse koja odmah podiže svaku kombinaciju.
No, kao i većina komada ovog brenda, poput spomenutih gumenih japanki za gotovo 800 eura, i ona je poprilično skupa. Na MyTheresi je koštala 2552 eura. S obzirom na to da je to mnogima nedostižno, TikTok je otkrio odličan high-street duplić.

Massimo Dutti duplić
Riječ je o Massimo Dutti bomber jakni koja je trenutačno viralna na TikToku. Krasi je jednako upečatljiva crvena boja, visoki ovratnik s gumbima, dva bočna džepa te donji rub balon kroja. Može se nositi opušteno ili se vezicama na donjem rubu može prilagoditi da izgleda poput bomber jakne. Cijena joj je 125 eura, i iako to nije jeftino, u usporedbi s The Row jaknom čini se kao pravi ulov.
Još se čeka da stigne na hrvatsku Massimo Dutti stranicu, no čim se pojavi, bit će prava utrka tko će je prvi ugrabiti. Reakcije i popularnost na društvenim mrežama upućuju da će planuti u rekordnom roku. Pogledajte je u nastavku.

Philips is a well-known brand in India’s grooming space with products ranging from trimmers to hair dryers and shavers. The Dutch company recently launched its new i9000 electric shaver, which promises a comfortable shaving experience tailored to each user with the help of AI. But how well does it hold up to that promise? Let’s find out in this review.
Design and app connectivity
Opening the box of the Philips i9000 shaver, you’re greeted with the device itself, a charging cable, and a premium-feeling travel case. The charging cable connects from USB-A to a proprietary pin, which feels like a missed opportunity for a premium product since USB-C has become the standard across most accessories.
The shaver itself feels premium in hand despite being made of polycarbonate. There’s a power button in the middle with a small display just below it, while the shaving heads sit on top.
Philips claims the i9000 offers a personalized shaving experience via its GroomTribe app, but I was unable to get the shaver paired with the Android app and therefore couldn’t test these features.
Battery life, however, is impressive. While I didn’t completely drain it to the claimed 60-minute runtime, my usage suggests it’s more or less accurate.
Performance
The shaver uses a triple-action lift-and-cut system powered by dual steel precision blades that Philips says can perform 7–8 million cutting motions per minute.
The i9000 is great for tackling small stubble (up to a week old), but if you have a longer beard, you’ll need to trim it down before shaving.
In practice, the process is straightforward: press the button, and the shaver kicks into action. It does feel like it adapts to the contours of your face as you go. As a first-time user, there is a slight learning curve, but once you get comfortable, the device really grows on you.
Verdict
At ₹17,999, the Philips i9000 electric shaver isn’t for everyone. But for premium users who want a grooming tool that combines performance with convenience, it’s a compelling option. It delivers on comfort and design, though app connectivity issues and the lack of USB-C leave room for improvement.
Production on the film, with a screenplay penned by Jomon John and Linto Devasia, has been wrapped. In a recent conversation with TNIE’s Express Dialogues, Shane said that he enjoyed working on the investigation thriller, which Jeethu presents. Produced by E4 Experiments in association with Bedtime Stories, the film also stars Sanya, Shobi Thilakan, Krishna Praba Nair, Nandan Unni, Dinesh Prabakar, and Kottayam Ramesh, among others. On the technical front, it has PM Unnikrishnan, editing by Vinayakh, and production design by Sunil Das.
ICRA Ltd and India Ratings C Research Private Ltd have assigned a rating of AAA/Stable to the Debt Securities
Cube Highways Trust (Cube InvIT), managed by Cube Highways Fund Advisors Pvt Ltd, has raised ₹820 crore through a bond issue. The board of Cube InvIT has approved allotment of 82,000 non-convertible debentures with a face value of ₹1 lakh each, aggregating to ₹820 crore on a private placement basis on Wednesday.
The 3.5-year NCDs with a maturity date of 20 February 2029 were issued at a coupon of 6.93 per cent while the 10-year NCDs with a maturity date of 20 August 2035 were issued at a coupon of 7.3015 per cent. The proceeds will be used to repay the existing indebtedness. Following this transaction, fixed rate borrowings will constitute 33.4 per cent of Cube InvIT’s obligations.
ICRA Ltd and India Ratings C Research Private Ltd have assigned a rating of AAA/Stable to the Debt Securities.
This simple starter of fried plantains quickly became the star of the menu at Adrian Forte’s modern Caribbean restaurant Lucia, which opened on Fairfax Avenue in the spring. The caramelized, crispy plantains are heightened with a pickled Scotch bonnet aioli that’s based on a recipe from Forte’s “Yawd” cookbook and served on the side.
Forte calls the pickled Scotch bonnet aioli his “utility paste” and always has some on hand to add to chili, lasagna, rice, a marinade, dressing or any number of dishes. Think of it as a condiment like sambal oelek; you can use it everywhere.
Note that pickling Scotch bonnets reduces the heat. The longer they are pickled, the less heat they have, but watch out — the heat that leaves the peppers is absorbed by the vinegar so the longer they stay in there, the hotter the vinegar liquid gets.
Archaeologists recently unearthed an ancient Roman bathhouse in Turkey – a relic as luxurious as it is old.
The discovery was covered by Turkey’s Anadolu Agency (AA). A landowner in the area was planting sour cherry saplings in 2023 when he stumbled across a Roman-era floor mosaic.
Thanks to underground imaging radar, archaeologists found the bathhouse about 230 feet south of the mosaic.
MYSTERIOUS 1,600-YEAR-OLD SETTLEMENT EMERGES FROM SOIL WITH RARE ROMAN MILITARY FINDS
The 1,700-year-old structure, which measures 75 square meters, dates back to the Late Roman era.
It had an underfloor heating system and distinct cold, warm and hot zones –the ancient equivalent of a modern spa, AA noted.

The bathhouse also featured sweat rooms, pools and separate channels for clean water and wastewater.
Turkish officials plan to open up the site for tourism in the future.
ARCHAEOLOGISTS EXCAVATE ANCIENT WORKSHOP WITH UNFINISHED SCULPTURES ON GREEK ISLAND
Ahmet Demirdağ, provincial director of culture and tourism, told AA the bathhouse and mosaic are just a few of many “significant remains” in the area.
“The bath is truly a distinctive and important structure.”

Office chairs can be surprisingly expensive, easily breaking $1,000 for a seaworthy seat. The Branch Ergonomic Chair Pro, with a list price of just $500, beat out a number of expensive seats from some very recognizable chair makers to earn the top spot on our office chair roundup. For labor day, Branch is offering 10% off when you use code LABORDAY on the base price of the chair, as well as any accessories you might want to add on, plus free shipping, so you can build the ultimate home office.

Ergonomic Chair Pro
Unlike some other less expensive chairs, the Ergonomic Chair Pro features an absolute raft of adjustment options. Take the armrests, for example, which have vertical, forward and back, and angular adjustments, or the seat depth, which has both depth and tilt options, and of course there’s an adjustable lumbar support.
Branch doesn’t cut corners on materials, with a powder-coated aluminum base and casters that roll smoothly on hardwood floors. There are fabric, real leather, and vegan leather options in a variety of neutral or natural colors, another option typically reserved for chairs more than twice the price.
There are a variety of discounted accessories that might put some wind in your sails. Our editor thought the headrest was a bit unnecessary, but as a 6’4″ person, appreciated the tall cylinder to sit a little higher on the waves. Whichever route you choose to navigate, you’ll save a bit of cash, which is always great when you’re picking up an expensive new piece of furniture.
Ready to keelhaul your current bridge? Branch is offering an extra five percent, for a total 15% discount, if you also pick up a desk to go with your new chair. The Branch Four Leg Standing Desk is our editors’ favorite standing desk, with an elegant, understated design and a variety of options for its rounded plywood tops. Accessories for the desk are marked down as well, although I didn’t see anything particularly exciting or unique there.
The discounts on Branch’s chairs, desks, and accessories, as well as the additional bundle discount, are already live and run until September 5th. The website says to use the promo code LABORDAY, but I saw the discounts automatically displayed on items as I browsed the site. Just make sure you see the free shipping and discounted price when you check out.
GLUTEUSI, mišići koji oblikuju stražnjicu, ključni su za stabilnost cijelog tijela. Njihovim jačanjem ne samo da postižete bolji izgled, već i stabilizirate kukove, koljena i donji dio leđa, što je presudno za prevenciju ozljeda. Vježbe poput iskoraka, čučnjeva i mrtvog dizanja pomažu ispraviti mišićnu neravnotežu i poboljšavaju kvalitetu svakodnevnog kretanja.
1. Iskoraci
Ova dinamična vježba istovremeno testira vašu ravnotežu i aktivira mišiće nogu, s posebnim naglaskom na gluteuse. Ključno je raditi velike korake kako bi se pokret prebacio na zglob kuka, a ne koljena, čime se osigurava maksimalna aktivacija mišića stražnjice. Za dodatni izazov, vježbu možete izvoditi s bučicama u rukama.
2. Bugarski čučanj
Bugarski čučanj primarno pogađa gluteuse i kvadricepse, što ga čini izvrsnom vježbom za jačanje gornjeg dijela nogu. Budući da se izvodi na jednoj nozi, također poboljšava ravnotežu i pomaže u ispravljanju eventualne razlike u snazi između lijeve i desne strane tijela.
3. Mrtvo dizanje
Mrtvo dizanje ciljano pogađa jedan po jedan gluteus, dok istovremeno izaziva stabilnost kuka, koljena i gležnja. Usredotočite se na pravilnu formu i odaberite umjerenu težinu kako biste osjetili rad mišića stražnjice.
4. Hip Thrust
Dokazano je da potisak kukovima aktivira gluteuse snažnije od većine drugih vježbi. Iako je tehnički zahtjevniji, iznimno je učinkovit kada se izvodi sigurno. Uvijek počnite s manjom težinom i postupno je povećavajte kako jačate.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
5. Čučanj
Čučnjevi su sveobuhvatna vježba za noge koja pogađa kvadricepse, gluteuse, unutarnju stranu bedara i zadnju ložu. Možete ih izvoditi s vlastitom težinom ili dodati opterećenje korištenjem šipke ili bučice.
6. Kickback
Kickback je vježba za stražnjicu kod koje se jedna noga iz stojećeg ili četveronožnog položaja izbacuje unazad, dok trup i kukovi ostaju stabilni. Postoji više varijacija: na sve četiri, stojeći s gumom, na spravi ili na kabelu.
Kako osmisliti trening za gluteuse
Za razvoj mišića stražnjice važno je slijediti tri ključna principa. Prvo, trenirajte gluteuse nekoliko puta tjedno, osiguravajući dane za oporavak između treninga. Drugo, postupno povećavajte intenzitet vježbi dodavanjem težine ili broja serija kako postajete jači. Treće, koristite različite raspone ponavljanja, najčešće između 5 i 15, kako biste potaknuli mišićni rast i snagu.
Važnost pravilne tehnike i zagrijavanja
Iako su opterećenje i volumen treninga važni, pravilna tehnika je presudna za uspjeh i prevenciju ozljeda. Ako ste novi u nekoj vježbi, uvijek je prvo savladajte s manjim težinama. Prije svakog treninga obavezno se dobro zagrijte kako biste pripremili mišiće za napor. Također je korisno izvesti nekoliko lakših serija zagrijavanja prije glavnih, “radnih” serija kako biste aktivirali živčani sustav i mišiće.
SIMPATIČAN video psa koji vlasniku jasno daje do znanja da ga smije maziti samo pod jednim uvjetom postao je hit na Instagramu gdje je skupio više od milijun pregleda. Glavna zvijezda videa je shiba inu Kylo kojeg prati više od pola milijuna ljudi, piše DogTime.
Njegov vlasnik je prije pet dana podijelio video na kojem možemo vidjeti da Kylo ima specifičan zahtjev kada je u pitanju maženje. Svaki put kada bi ga vlasnik pokušao maziti po glavi i njušci, Kylo bi počeo negodovati. No, čim bi ga vlasnik počeo maziti ispod brade, opustio bi se i uživao u maženju.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Video je skupio više od dvjesto komentara, a jedan od gledatelja u komentarima je objasnio da je ovakvo ponašanje normalno za pse. Većina pasa voli kada ih mazimo ispod brade ili po vratu, ali ako ih pokušamo maziti po glavi, to mogu shvatiti kao prijetnju i reagirati agresivno.

What followed was a complete renovation that uncovered family relics and reimagined the space that helped raise Pichetrungsi, and catapulted the chef and his Sherman Oaks restaurant to international fame.
“In order to preserve something,” he posted, “you have to change it.”
The neighborhood Thai restaurant, founded 44 years ago by husband-and-wife team Ricky and Rattikorn Pichetrungsi, served the Sherman Oaks community for decades. But when their son, Justin, took over the restaurant several years ago, his own vision began to take hold: new dishes, new formats for enjoying them, an expanded wine program and a new energy. Its generational blend of old and new helped it garner accolades including being named the L.A. Times Restaurant of the Year in 2022. That same year, Justin Pichetrungsi received the title of best chef in California from the James Beard Foundation.
If all goes as planned and Anajak reopens on Friday it will feature entirely new equipment — except, that is, for his father’s original three-hole wok station, which has been refurbished. His mother, still a fixture in the restaurant, will finally have her own workstation dedicated to her famous mango sticky rice. Guests will find an additional dining room, an entirely new and more open kitchen, an overhaul of the original dining space, his grandfather’s art, a repaving of the alfresco area (the venue for its popular Thai Taco Tuesdays) and more.

It all started with the dish pit. Anajak ran through a lot of plates, flatware and wine glasses by hosting 250 guests a night. Washing them all in one three-compartment sink located alongside the cook line, wok station and grill finally proved untenable.
Pichetrungsi first asked where he might be able to move the sink, and it all unraveled from there: He’d have to place it where the bathrooms were. To offer guests new bathrooms, he would have to renovate and open the adjacent wine storage room. And if a wall would have to come down in order to renovate, he might as well redo it all.
“The hardest part of the business is the organization part of it, not the innovation,” he told The Times. “Innovation is so fun: You dream of new dishes, new ways to talk to your customers and things like that. But with all the behind-the-scenes stuff, people never saw how broken it was in order to make the show go on.”
In January the staff began in small phases, such as moving the contents of the wine storage room to the office and storage space in the alley. Then on July 1, construction began in earnest.

On the first day, the staff passed a sledgehammer between themselves, each taking a swing at a wall, including Ricky Pichetrungsi, who attacked it from his wheelchair.
“Everyone on the team has a hand in breaking that wall down, which was a beautiful moment,” Justin Pichetrungsi said.
As they renovated, they uncovered Anajak relics: a box of old celebrity photos and headshots of those who’ve visited through the years, the original, grease-coated cash register, old menus, branded matchbooks and an entire mirror his father built walls around during his own renovations 30 years ago.
“I was hoping to find money, but unfortunately… ,” Pichetrungsi laughed.
Pichetrungsi, a trained artist who formerly worked at Disney Imagineering, wanted to make changes for a long time — longer than he’d known he wanted to become a chef or take over the family restaurant.

While revisiting his sketchbooks from years prior, Pichetrungsi found a list. He was flipping through a book he hadn’t used in a decade and saw various notes of changes he would make to Anajak.
“I realized that a lot of my decision making in the last couple of years has really been about how to get to this specific point,” he said. “A point where I can have a kitchen that I was happy to work in — not that I wasn’t happy to work in my father’s kitchen, but it was very uncomfortable — and it wasn’t about my uncomfortability. It is and it was about developing a space that would feel in line with who we wanted to be.”

Pichetrungsi was still drawing and teaching when he began helping his parents keep their restaurant afloat after the 2008 economic crisis. But in 2019, after his father suffered a stroke, he left Disney and took over Anajak full-time, working alongside his mother, his aunt and occasionally his father. In a bid to once again keep the family business alive, he pivoted during the pandemic, flipping the vacant alley space to host Thai Taco Tuesdays, a wildly popular weekly event with lines around the block. Then, he pushed its boundaries even further with a constantly evolving Thai tasting menu.
When Pichetrungsi began cooking at the restaurant there were eight staff members, including himself and his relatives. Now there are nearly 60.
Near the center of the restaurant, Ricky Pichetrungsi’s former office — which once served as a de facto daycare center but became storage for pots and pans — will be home to a new climate-controlled wine cellar overseen by wine director Ian Krupp.
The construction team works six days a week, beginning at 5 a.m., with multiple crews overlapping. They’ve installed a new oven hood, a floating kitchen pass, new plumbing, new electrical systems and new banquettes in the dining room.
The new dining room, which the staff calls the East Wing, will offer two dozen seats and a hallway to the new bathrooms. Oil paintings and watercolors by Pichetrungsi’s late grandfather were flown in from Thailand. The old, now-gone carpet, as well as a tarnished “butt print” section of the wall where for years guests and staff leaned while waiting for the restrooms, are also being framed.
“It’s gross, but it’s art made by millions of people,” Pichetrungsi said.
He alerted the restaurant’s staff throughout the last year, giving time to make plans or find temporary employment for the month and a half of closed business. Many took vacation. Some staged at other restaurants. Some are working through construction, writing the restaurant’s first official training manuals.
Pichetrungsi declined to share the cost of Anajak’s overhaul but said, “It’ll be a lot of pad Thais.”

Pichetrungsi’s parents raised concerns about the renovations: Think of the cost. Did it all really need to be done? But they’ve come to appreciate the changes.
“They’re not as nostalgic about it as I am,” Justin Pichetrungsi said. “They’ve seen it so much, they’re okay letting it go. But I wasn’t able to. I was here during the demo day, and it was a hard time for me.”
As different as the restaurant will look, much of it will remain the same. The Kobe basketball jersey will still be hanging over the dining room. Thai Taco Tuesday is set to resume immediately, and the restaurant’s omakase will return as well, albeit at a later date.
With so much more kitchen space, new dishes might crop up at Anajak, too.
Today, Pichetrungsi’s notebooks are filled with sketches of floor plans, the views from various tables, the new server station and dishes he might like to execute in the new kitchen: The addition of a second deep fryer could one day mean whole fried fish. There could be enough space at the pass to shuck oysters and build seafood towers. Or maybe, he joked, these are the changes guests will see in another decade, when he decides to shake things up all over again.
A little-known travel method is helping frugal tourists score luxury vacations for less.
The trend, “secondhand travel,” might sound unappealing, but in reality, it’s all about capitalizing on already-organized plans.
It involves “buying” other people’s canceled trips at a discounted rate while also letting sellers recoup some of their nonrefundable costs from their vacations.
FLIGHT PASSENGER’S RANT ABOUT AIRLINE STANDBY PRACTICES GOES VIRAL AS RECORD SUMMER TRAVEL GETS UNDERWAY
That allows the buyer to score a vacation for 20%-30% off – making it a win-win for both parties.
As a bonus, the “secondhand traveler” may not even need to plan anything, since the trip is often already organized.

Katy Nastro, a spokesperson for Going, a travel company headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, told Fox News Digital the trend’s name is a bit of a misnomer, since the vacation that’s being resold hasn’t been used.
Some platforms, like Roomer, have been selling unused hotel rooms for years – but the concept of secondhand travel is new to most Americans.
“I still wouldn’t say they are fully known by the traveling public,” she said.
The most common types of resold vacations include hotels or all-inclusive stays.
“And, due to the nature of them, these types of trips are best for those with flexible schedules who can leave within a week and aren’t truly tied to a destination … [F]or most people, [that] can be difficult.”
Nastro said Transfer Travel and Sparefare are two online marketplaces to search for secondhand bookings.
TRAVELERS ARE STUFFING BASIC HOUSEHOLD ITEM WITH CLOTHES TO AVOID FLIGHT BAGGAGE FEES
The most common types of resold vacations include hotels or all-inclusive stays, Nastro said, many of which just require a quick name change.
“You are locked into whatever you purchase, which doesn’t allow for any cost comparisons after the fact, which can help you save,” she said.
“The options may be limited to specific areas for when you are looking to travel, so you don’t have the freedom to really choose where you are going and staying.”
The biggest hurdle to selling your trips is airfare – and Nastro cautioned people to be “absolutely sure” before listing on these sites.
“Changing names on airfare can be difficult, and some airlines don’t allow this practice outside the 24-hour window regardless,” she said. “So before any flight is put onto a platform, make sure your airline will allow for changes.”
“Speak to multiple people at the airline before putting your flights up on one of these sites,” a travel expert advised. (iStock)
“Speak to multiple people at the airline before putting your flights up on one of these sites,” Nastro added.
But if you’re thinking of using the method for your next family getaway, secondhand booking can be rather limiting.

It might be preferable for single remote workers who have more flexibility in terms of dates and times, the expert advised.
“The options may be limited to specific areas for when you are looking to travel, so you don’t have the freedom to really choose where you are going and staying,” she said.

“Additionally, you are likely going to find more options near major cities, not near more remote destinations or national parks.”
Her big advice for bookers? Shop around these sites to ensure that the 20%-30% discounts are actually the best deal available.

“For example, I shopped around a NYC hotel during the same dates advertised and was able to find a cheaper rate at the same hotel on an OTA [online travel agency] — which also gave me 24 hours to decide if I wanted to cancel,” she said.

“Just as if you would shop around at other hotels, shop around on other sites and with the hotel directly to ensure this rate is really worth it.“

If you’ve been hunting for a new GPU, you already know that getting one for its suggested retail price isn’t guaranteed. High demand, low supply, and a constantly shifting economic space have caused the new 50 Series graphics cards to hit the market well above the expected price, at least at launch.
Thankfully, the situation seems to be stabilizing a bit, as indicated by this deal on PNY’s overclocked example of the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, which is available on Amazon for its MSRP of $750. Even better, your purchase includes a copy of the upcoming Borderlands 4, potentially saving you $70 if you were planning on picking it up.
PNY
Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB Overclocked
I spent some time with the Asus Prime version of the RTX 5070 Ti and was seriously impressed with its performance at multiple resolutions. It managed to stay above 120 frames per second at 1080p in almost every game I tested, making it a great choice for gamers who are still at the lower resolution and looking to max out their screen’s refresh. It also beat 90 fps in all of the test games at 2,560 x 1,440, which is great news for new system builders targeting the higher resolution. This version is overclocked by PNY, which should give you a couple more percentage points on these numbers.

As part of the newest generation of Nvidia GeForce GPUs, you also get access to DLSS 4 and the landmark feature, Multi-Frame Generation. The RTX 5070 Ti can leverage machine learning to produce up to three extra frames between each traditionally rendered frame, shooting your frame rate into the stratosphere in exchange for a bit of quality. While I wouldn’t rely on it for every game, I did an in-depth look in my review of the RTX 5090 Founders Edition (7/10, WIRED Recommends) that shows some of the effects it has on both image quality and frame rate.
If $750 sounds like a lot to spend, make sure to check out my full GPU buying guide, which lays out the different options from the latest generation of both Nvidia and AMD cards. As soon as you move past those sub-$400 budget cards, I think the RTX 5070 Ti offers the best balance of performance and price as an upgraded pick. It’s rare to see these cards listed for retail, and the included copy of Borderlands 4 really sweetens the deal, assuming you were going to play anyway, so I wouldn’t sleep on this if you’ve been considering an upgrade.
NAKON dugog radnog dana tijelo i um često ostaju napeti. Umjesto da u krevet odete s ukočenim mišićima i nemirnim mislima, stručnjaci savjetuju da uvedete kratku rutinu istezanja prije spavanja. Samo nekoliko minuta laganih pokreta dovoljno je da se opustite, oslobodite nakupljene napetosti i lakše utonete u san.
Istezanje vrata i ramena
Tijekom dana, osobito kod onih koji puno rade za računalom, vrat i ramena najviše trpe. Sjednite ili stanite uspravno, polako nagnite glavu udesno i zadržite 20 do 30 sekundi. Ponovite na drugu stranu. Zatim podignite ramena prema ušima, zadržite nekoliko sekundi i spustite ih. Ovaj jednostavan pokret oslobađa napetost iz gornjeg dijela tijela i smiruje živčani sustav.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
“Položaj djeteta” (Child’s Pose)
Jedan od najpoznatijih i najviše opuštajućih položaja iz joge idealan je za večernje istezanje. Kleknite na pod, spustite stražnjicu prema petama i ispružite ruke naprijed, spuštajući čelo prema podu. Ostanite u položaju barem 30 sekundi, dišući polako i duboko. Ovaj položaj isteže leđa, smiruje živce i stvara osjećaj sigurnosti i mira.
Istezanje nogu u ležećem položaju
Lezite na leđa i privucite jedno koljeno prema prsima dok druga noga ostaje ispružena na podu. Zadržite 20 do 30 sekundi pa promijenite nogu. Ova vježba oslobađa napetost iz donjeg dijela leđa i kukova, dijelova tijela koji često ostaju ukočeni nakon sjedenja ili dugog stajanja.
Zašto istezanje pomaže snu?
Lagano istezanje prije spavanja opušta mišiće, smanjuje razinu hormona stresa kortizola i aktivira parasimpatički živčani sustav, onaj koji tijelu signalizira da je vrijeme za odmor. Osim fizičkog olakšanja, večernje istezanje može postati ritual kojim se mozgu daje jasan znak da dan završava i da slijedi mirna noć.

Jaipur, August 19: Rajasthan’s Manika Vishwakarma, who was crowned Miss Universe India 2025, said that former Miss Universe and actor Sushmita Sen and her mother are her two role models in life. The grand finale of the Miss Universe India pageant was held in Jaipur on August 18, where Manika was crowned by Miss Universe India 2024 Rhea Singha, taking over the title from last year’s winner.
After winning the show, Vishwakarma shared that she has two role models in her life, who helped her to win the Miss Universe India crown in Jaipur. While speaking to ANI after her victory, Manika stated, “I have two role models in my life. First is Sushmita Sen, second is my mother. I think both of these ladies are the reason I have always known Sushmita Sen as someone who not only says something, but also does it. From her Miss Universe journey to her life journey, every single word that she said, she has meant it and she has proved it, till now,” she said. Who Is Manika Vishwakarma? Meet the Miss Universe India 2025 Winner, Set To Represent the Country at the 74th Miss Universe Beauty Pageant.
Apart from the Bollywood actress, she also credited her mother for instilling in her the values of integrity and action. “And same as with my mother, she has taught me that quality, that you don’t just speak, you also act upon it, you also say it and you become the embodiment of it so that people know that a person is not just about what they say, but how strong we are as humans,” Vishwakarma added.
As for her future, the Miss Universe India 2025 said she aims to explore diverse opportunities that come her way. “I want to explore all the possibilities that come with it and not just go in one direction, but show people how much more can come with pageants to your life,” she said.

ROTVAJLER Tyson dokaz je da predrasude o opasnim pasminama pasa nisu uvijek istinite. Iako su neke pasmine uzgajane za čuvanje posjeda ili stoke, to ne znači uvijek da su agresivne, a Tyson je savršen primjer. Kako piše Pet Helpful, ovaj odani div koji živi na jednoj farmi u Sjevernoj Irskoj voli štiti svoju obitelj, a uz to uživa u maženju i igri.
Njegova mirna svakodnevica nedavno je postala još zanimljivija. 13. kolovoza Tysona je dočekalo veliko iznenađenje kada je jedna od kokoši u dvorište dovela svoje piliće. Bez ikakvog oklijevanja nježni pas odmah je preuzeo ulogu njihovog velikog brata i zaštitnika.
Prizor je oduševio sve prisutne. Teško je reći tko je više uživao: Tyson, ponosna kvočka ili dječak koji je s osmijehom promatrao nesvakidašnju scenu.
Nevjerojatno povjerenje
Iako su neki gledatelji na društvenim mrežama izrazili čuđenje, uzgajivači peradi odmah su prepoznali koliko su životinje u videu opuštene. Jedan komentator napisao je: “Vidi se da su pas i kvočka prijatelji. Ne bi mu dopustila da joj se toliko približi da mu ne vjeruje.”
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Iako su kokoši inače mirne ptice, kvočke su spremne na sve kako bi zaštitile svoje piliće. Činjenica da je kvočka dopustila Tysonu da priđe tako blizu dokaz je povjerenja koje je već izgradio s njom, a sada očito radi na tome da osvoji i srca njezinih mališana.
Rotvajleri kao čuvari stada
Svaki pas uz dobar trening može postati čuvar stada, no neke su pasmine stoljećima uzgajane upravo za tu ulogu. Najpoznatiji su svakako ovčarski psi, ali mnogi ne znaju da su i rotvajleri izvorno bili radni psi na imanjima.
Poput mnogih drugih pasmina iz skupine mastifa, rotvajleri su se kroz povijest koristili za zaštitu i tjeranje stoke. Njihova snažna, mišićava građa bila je idealna za odvraćanje grabežljivaca, dok je njihova uloga osobnih zaštitnika postala popularna tek u novije vrijeme.

KADA pomislite na Vans, vjerojatno vam na pamet pada skejterska obuća. Kalifornijski brend još od 1966. dominira svijetom skejt tenisica, nudeći prepoznatljive i pristupačne modele stvorene da traju. Iako se uglavnom drži svoje provjerene formule, povremeno zna iznenaditi neočekivanim suradnjama – a najnovija je upravo takva.
Nova suradnja koja pomiče granice
U pitanju je partnerstvo s proslavljenim umjetnikom iz Los Angelesa, Sterlingom Rubyjem. Njegov brend S.R. STUDIO LA. CA već je dvaput surađivao s Vansovim podbrendom OTW, no treća kolekcija donosi siluetu koja je potpuno drugačija od svega što smo dosad vidjeli od ovog brenda, piše GQ.
Futuristička klompa inspirirana prošlošću
Model nazvan Vans OTW x SR Future Clog uklapa se u sve popularniji trend klompi, ali u izrazito avangardnom stilu. Glomazna i asimetrična silueta, nalik svemirskom brodu za stopala, inspirirana je Rubyjevim djetinjstvom u Nizozemskoj, gdje je njegova obitelj klompe svakodnevno koristila za rad u vrtu i radionici.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Future Clog stiže u dvije varijante – elegantnoj bijeloj i žutoj s mramornim uzorkom. Model ima uklonjivu, perivu podstavu koja olakšava održavanje, a uz to predstavlja odvažnu alternativu klasičnim gumenim klompama poput Crocsa. Namijenjen je svima koji žele podići opuštenu kombinaciju i istaknuti se.
Što još donosi kolekcija?
Uz Future Clog, kolekcija S.R. x Vans OTW uključuje i nove verzije legendarnih modela Old Skool i Authentic, kao i prateću liniju odjeće. U prodaji će biti dostupna od 21. kolovoza putem Vansa.

Sony has announced the arrival of the first-ever Legendary Warbond for Helldivers 2, and it comes with a crossover many fans have long speculated about. The Helldivers 2 x Halo: ODST Legendary Warbond will go live on 26 August, bringing with it a full suite of weapons, armour sets, and cosmetics inspired by the iconic Halo 3: ODST.
The collaboration introduces the “Obedient Democracy Support Troopers” or ODST, better known as the Helljumpers, into the fight for Managed Democracy. Players will be able to outfit their Helldivers with gear that echoes the legendary squad, complete with authentic details and battlefield utility.
Iconic weaponry The Warbond features an arsenal tailored for both all-out combat and stealth operations. The MA5C Assault Rifle makes its debut, equipped with an ammo counter and compass for battlefield navigation. The M6C/SOCOM Pistol includes a suppressor, a first for Helldivers 2, alongside a laser sight and flashlight for covert engagements. For close-quarters encounters, the M90A Shotgun arrives with heavy stopping power and a mounted flashlight. Rounding off the selection is the M7S SMG, a suppressed, caseless weapon designed for precision and quiet manoeuvres.
New armour sets Two distinct armour options are available. The A-9 Helljumper Armour Set pays homage to a decorated Lance Corporal of ODST renown, offering a “Feet First” passive ability. Meanwhile, the sleeker A-35 Recon Armour Set is inspired by an intelligence officer’s combat gear, also carrying the “Feet First” boost, which reduces movement noise, improves detection range by 30 per cent and grants immunity to leg injuries.
Capes and cosmetics Players can further customise their Helldivers with themed capes, such as the Honoured Heirloom, bearing the ODST insignia, and the Eye of the Clandestine, designed for those who prefer the shadows. The crossover also extends to ODST-themed player cards, a new title, and a “Mean Green” pattern for vehicles and equipment, including hellpods and exosuits.
Pricing and availability The Legendary Warbond will be available from the Acquisitions Centre at 1,500 Super Credits – a higher price point than standard Warbonds, reflecting its expanded content. Sony also confirmed that Legendary Warbonds will not be compatible with the new Premium Warbond Token launching on the same day.
The Helldivers 2 x Halo: ODST Legendary Warbond goes live on 26 August at 5am PT / 1pm BST, marking a major moment for both series’ communities.
Lokesh also acknowledged the challenges such a project would pose. “If Rajini sir and Kamal sir agree to work together, the cast and crew would come with salaries of great magnitude. Figuring out a story that fits both their iconic images would be a Himalayan task. I am ready for it, but it has to come from them,” he concluded.
Lokesh Kanagaraj, who has established himself to be a die-hard fan of Kamal Haasan, directed Vikram with the actor in 2022. While Vikram is a part of the filmmaker’s LCU, or Lokesh Cinematic Universe, Coolie will not be, eliminating any chance of future onscreen collaboration between Kamal Haasan’s Vikram and Rajinikanth’s Deva.
Apart from Rajinikanth, Coolie also stars Upendra, Nagarjuna, Sathyaraj, and Soubin Shahir. The film also marks a special cameo by Aamir Khan, alongside actors Reba Monica John and Junior MGR in pivotal roles. Produced by Kalanithi Maran under the Sun Pictures banner, the film is slated to hit theatres on August 14.

Alex Padilla, California senator: “The San Fernando Valley food scene includes quality, authentic cuisine from around the world, but my comfort food favorites are still Mexican restaurants in the northeast end of the Valley. The handmade tortillas at Lenchita’s in Pacoima that my dad introduced me to years ago are as good as ever. El Tarasco in Sylmar is under new ownership, but they’ve maintained the same high-quality ingredients — many regulars think that some of the dishes and salsas are even better than before. But what I’m most excited about right now is being able to order El Mero Mero (Pacoima) on DoorDash. You can’t go wrong with any of the tacos, burritos, sopes or specialty quesadillas. Just make sure to ask for extra salsa — both green and red — because your mind and your taste buds will be blown.”
Tiffani Thiessen, actor and cookbook author: “Bill’s Burgers [is] our [favorite] burger in the Valley. Super casual setting for a quick bite with the best legendary old school burger. Oy Bar [is] one of our favorite date night spots [and the] food is always on point. Casa Vega [is a] nostalgic Mexican joint that has been a staple in the Valley for many years and [I] hope it continues.”
Valerie Bertinelli, actor and host: “I love Mistral, I’ve been going there since the ‘80s, and of course, Casa Vega, we had [Wolfgang] and Andraia‘s rehearsal dinner there and there’s little plaques in the booths for me and [Wolfgang] and [Eddie Van Halen]. And of course I was so happy when Petit Trois came to the Valley, perfect little French bistro.”
Eric Warheim: comedian, winery owner and cookbook author: “A premium Valley experience is a margarita at Casa Vega then over to Bill’s Burgers: two of the realest, most L.A. spots you can find. Then Asanebo for some toro and then Anajak for some Emrich-Schönleber!”
Evan Lovett, “L.A. In a Minute” podcast host: ”I love Casa Vega because it’s an institution and for what it means to the Valley. When you go in there, it’s fun, it’s comfortable, they have good drinks. Christy Vega cares so deeply about the legacy of her dad and going back to her grandfather, who opened Cafe Caliente on Olvera Street. Listen, in the Valley, 70 years is forever. … When my wife and I go out to date night, we go to ‘Sushi Row’ on Ventura Boulevard. Our little place is Studio Sushi, right near Radford Studios. But we start at Oy Bar. It’s super dark, been around since the 1970s, when it was called Oyster House, and was updated. It’s kind of a Japanese-Jewish menu, but [Jeff Strauss] does a killer job.”
JaimeRay Newman, actor and producer: “My husband and I can’t live without Red Window Coffee. It used to literally be a small coffee stand where you’d get your fix through a red window, but they got so popular over the years they opened their own storefront. Owned by Aussies, they make the best oat cortado in the Valley. And they have a DJ to set the mood. Lovely baristas, their vibe is very cool, laid-back, and their beans and presentation are excellent. Ticks all our coffee snob needs. Also a shout-out to Coffee Commissary in Burbank. Love their coffee too, but their vegan chocolate chip cookies are the best in L.A.!”

Justin Pichetrungsi, Anajak Thai Cuisine chef-owner: “Me and my folks love going to Brothers [Sushi, in Woodland Hills], but actually what we love more is to do the temaki takeout and bring it back home. It’s a little bit more economical, and it’s very generous and it’s lovely.”
Philip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee, co-owners of Sushi by Scratch and Pasta Bar: “[Machu Picchu in Van Nuys] is a hole-in-the-wall Peruvian spot. Peru is our favorite country to travel to and we’ve spent quite a bit of time in Lima, and it’s exactly like the stuff in Peru except with better product. The anticuchos are done really well. And their ceviche is the best we’ve had in Los Angeles. You’ll tend to see a grandma in the kitchen and her grandkids playing with coloring books.
Sergio Amalfitano, owner of the Midnight Hour Records: “I happen to be vegan. At Leonor’s Mexican Vegetarian in North Hollywood off Lankershim, I like the ‘chicken’ and cheese empanadas. Tender Grill Cafe for the falafel wrap, or the falafel plate dinner with hummus and fries. Good China in North Hollywood is a little hole-in-the-wall Chinese spot that has six or eight vegan options — honey walnut shrimp, Mongolian beef, chow mein. You would not assume it has vegan options, but it does. I just ordered Veggietize Me’s vegan Western burger. They have vegan Big Mac-style and Tommy’s-style burgers. Lotus Vegan, a Thai restaurant on Lankershim — awesome mom-and-pop shop. I don’t drink, but I like Tony’s Darts Away because they have trivia and half the menu is vegan.”
Our favorite places to eat and drink in the 818. From high-end sushi to burger shacks, tiki bars, dives and more.
Allen Yelent, Goldburger owner: “The Valley is rich and dense and there’s lots of people here, and it is one of the most beautiful parts of L.A. if you actually love and care and think about L.A. The Valley has everything. I mean, sometimes you don’t even know the names of the places! There’s a regular kabob spot that my dad and I always get takeout from [Malek’s Grill & Kabob], on Winnetka and Vanowen. There’s so many great neighborhood mom-and-pop strip mall spots doing really, really amazing food.”
Danny Gordon, Heavy Handed co-owner: “I keep talking about these sushi joints down the stretch of Ventura Boulevard. I think they’re the best in L.A. and for me, as someone who’s been to Japan, these Valley dive sushi spots have this sort of no-frills casualness to them that felt like one of those joints in Japan where you walk in and the guy has five or six seats and he just serves you what he wants. There’s no gold leaf or caviar. It’s just really good, solid fish and a couple of cooked hot items. The list goes on: Sushi Spot [in Tarzana], Niko Sushi [in Tarzana], Restaurant Tatsuki Woodland Hills, Sushi Iki [in Tarzana], Chiba in North Hollywood. There’s just so many like that.”
Max Miller, Heavy Handed co-owner: “I know Danny [Gordon] and I both grew up on this, but Dan’s Super Subs. They just absolutely crank out sandwich after sandwich after sandwich. And that was a staple after games: Your parents would take you and a couple kids as well, and be able to get these huge sub sandwiches.”
Housing rights experts say a community restricted to white residents is illegal, but the creators believe they could win a potential challenge in court in the current political climate.
An ancient Roman mosaic has recently revealed a millennia-old depiction of flip-flops – showing that certain footwear has always been in style.
The discovery was announced by the Archaeological Park of Morgantina and the Villa Romana del Casale on Aug. 4.
The villa, an ancient Roman estate, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997 and is located in Piazza Armerina, a central Sicilian town.
UNEARTHED ANCIENT ROMAN SHOES DRAW ‘IMPRESSED GASPS’ AFTER BEING BURIED FOR 2,000 YEARS
The villa is famous for holding the largest collection of Roman mosaics in the world.
“During recent excavation work, two sandals depicted in a mosaic were discovered, resembling modern flip-flops,” said a statement translated from Italian about the newly unearthed mosaic.

Found in a bath complex, the mosaic dates back to the fourth century A.D.
“These are not simple decorations, but rather a refined work created by a mosaic artisan of the fourth century, part of a larger mosaic design that adorned the southern bath section of the Villa.”
ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNCOVER LONG-LOST ANCIENT ROMAN BUILDING AT CONSTRUCTION SITE WITH A LITTLE HELP
Officials said that the “extraordinary” finds are helping to enrich “the already vast archaeological heritage of the site.”

In addition to the flip-flop find, officials also found a mosaic inscription, as well as three columns with their ornate capitals intact.
“These discoveries once again confirm the exceptionally high artistic and architectural level of the Villa.”

The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has introduced special modules on Operation Sindoor for the students of classes 3 to 12.
The modules describe Operation Sindoor as “a triumph of bravery, strategy, and innovation,” highlighting India’s advanced air defence systems such as the S-400, which successfully brought down enemy aircraft from long ranges and neutralised Pakistani drones.
The newly introduced modules also highlight retaliatory actions by Indian military forces, including the Balakot air strikes in 2019 following the Pulwama terror attack, and more recently, Operation Sindoor after the Pahalgam terror attack.
“India launched missiles and air strikes, targeting nine terrorist sites situated in Pakistan and Pak-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) on May 7, 2025. Out of nine targets which were finally chosen and approved, seven of these terror camps were destroyed by the Indian Army, while the Indian Air Force destroyed terrorist targets in Muridke and Bahawalpur, which are the nerve centres of Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed,” one of the modules said.
Operation Sindoor
Touted as the Indian military’s biggest and deepest strike till date, ‘Operation Sindoor,’ launched in the wee hours of May 7, marks the first joint operation since the 1971 war.
All three defence branches — Army, Navy, and Air Force — coordinated to carry out the strikes on Pakistan to eliminate Jaish-e-Muhammed and Lashkar leadership.
More than two decades after Kirby Air Ride launched on GameCube, Kirby Air Riders is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on November 20. Director Masahiro Sakurai announced the news in a Nintendo Direct that aired today, alongside a detailed look at the upcoming racing game. “It basically is like Mario Kart,” Sakurai says.
The sequel is also the first Kirby title to be directed by fan favorite Sakurai since the original.
“Oh dear,” Sakurai said during the Direct. “Why is making a game so hard?”
Air Riders expands on the original, which came out in 2003, with more characters, modes, and new controls beyond the single button players used to boost. “This time we’ve added a second button,” Sakurai said. “Unfortunately.” While the original game featured different versions of Kirby to play, Air Riders adds King Dedede, Meta Knight, and even lesser known characters like Starman, all of which can use copy abilities like Kirby. Each character has a special move that can boost their speed, attack other racers, or activate abilities like turning into a giant snowball. The game allows up to eight human players locally or 16 online.
In addition to traditional races, Air Riders features City Trial mode, where players will need to upgrade their rides as quickly as possible by gathering power-ups, stealing new machines, and attacking opponents. Random field events will give players the chance to join and play short races and battles; players have only five minutes to upgrade their machines as much as possible before entering Stadiums, where the main competitions take place.
The game is being developed with Bandai Namco Studios and Sora LTD—teams that worked on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate—instead of longtime Kirby developer HAL Laboratory.
Sakurai, creator of both Kirby and the Super Smash Bros. series, has had his hand in a few projects over the past few years. In addition to wrapping up work on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, he also enjoyed a run as a YouTuber. For more than two years, he published over 250 videos on his channel, Masahiro Sakurai on Creating Games, about game development. In his finale episode, he revealed that he’d been working on a new game. Today, he confirmed that project is Kirby Air Riders.
Kirby Air Riders joins a fairly light first-party launch lineup for Switch 2 and is the second major racing game to launch this year for the console, following Mario Kart World. Sakurai says even he pointed out the two games’ similarity when asked to work on it, but added that “the appeal of the game is not actually the races.” Air Riders is bigger on its modes that offer more than just a dash to the finish.
Nintendo is expected to announce more details, including the game’s price, later this year. A hands-on demo will be playable at PAX West in Seattle August 29–September 1.
HRANA koju jedemo jedan je od najvažnijih čimbenika zdravlja, osobito kada je riječ o održavanju zdrave težine. Dok nas hranjive namirnice podržavaju u postizanju dobrobiti, mnoge popularne grickalice i deserti zapravo mogu usporiti metabolizam i dovesti do debljanja. Stručnjaci upozoravaju na nekoliko posebno štetnih izbora koji mogu dovesti do tih problema.
Slatkiši
Slatkiši, poput čokoladica i keksa, sadrže mnogo “praznih kalorija” koje negativno utječu na metabolizam. “Slatkiši poput čokoladica, peciva ili čak i gaziranih pića mogu usporiti metabolizam jer uzrokuju nagli skok šećera u krvi, nakon čega slijedi pad koji dovodi do umora i tromosti”, objašnjava liječnik dr. Zeeshan Afzal za SheFinds.
Osim toga, visoka razina dodanih šećera i rafiniranih ugljikohidrata može potaknuti razvoj kroničnih upala u tijelu. “Ove grickalice mogu uzrokovati upale jer visoke razine dodanih šećera i rafiniranih ugljikohidrata također pridonose kroničnim upalama u tijelu”, naglašava dr. Afzal, dodajući da je učinak sličan i kod zaslađenih napitaka.
Žitarice za doručak
Iako su popularne i praktične, mnoge žitarice za doručak pune su šećera i siromašne hranjivim tvarima. Nutricionistica i dijetetičarka Krutika Nanavati ističe: “Mnoge žitarice za doručak sadrže puno šećera i nemaju nutritivnu vrijednost.”
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Redovita konzumacija takvih proizvoda može pridonijeti debljanju i povećanom riziku od kroničnih bolesti. Nanavati dodaje da je moguće pronaći zdravije alternative, ali pritom treba pažljivo čitati deklaracije i birati opcije s niskim udjelom šećera.
Sladoled
Sladoled je desert kojem je teško odoljeti, no krije visoku kalorijsku vrijednost i često velike količine šećera. Savjetnica za prehranu Joanna Wen upozorava: “Sladoled je bogat kalorijama i često sadrži velike količine dodanog šećera, što može dovesti do debljanja.”
Uz šećer, mnoge vrste sladoleda sadrže i nezdrave masti, a dodatni preljevi i okusi donose još praznih kalorija. “Mnogi okusi sladoleda prepuni su praznih kalorija iz sirupa i drugih dodataka”, napominje Wen, savjetujući da je bolje pronaći zdraviju alternativu za zadovoljavanje želje za slatkim.

Tokyo, August 19: What happens when a company wants an employee to leave but can’t fire them directly? In Japan, there’s a quietly unsettling workplace practice designed for this very situation. Known as madogiwazoku, or the “window tribe,” it involves sidelining “old” employees, by giving them minimal or meaningless work. These employees are placed in isolated spots, often near windows, cut off from meetings and decision-making. The goal is to make them quit voluntarily, without any formal termination.
This practice stems from Japan’s cultural and legal emphasis on lifetime employment, which makes direct termination difficult. Instead of formal layoffs, companies use passive isolation to maintain harmony and avoid legal complications. Employees may find themselves excluded from decisions, assigned menial tasks, or simply left idle, creating frustration and boredom. While this may seem foreign, the impact on morale, motivation, and workplace culture is profound. So, what exactly happens behind these “window seats”? Let’s know all about Madogiwazoku or Window Tribe. Japan Population Decline Continues for 16 Consecutive Years; Native Numbers Fall 908,000 in 2024, Biggest Drop Since 1968.
What Is Madogiwazoku or Window Tribe?
Madogiwazoku, literally translating to “window tribe,” is a Japanese workplace phenomenon where employees, often older or underperforming, are effectively sidelined without being formally fired. Instead of terminating their employment, companies give them minimal or meaningless tasks, isolate them from meetings, and place their desks near windows or in separate rooms. This indirect strategy encourages employees to resign voluntarily, avoiding legal complications tied to Japan’s lifetime employment culture. A more extreme variant, called oidashibeya or the “banishment room,” involves windowless offices, menial assignments, and revoked business cards, amplifying the sense of exclusion. Japan Internet Speed Breakthrough: Researchers in Japan Achieve 1.02 Petabits Internet Speed,16 Million Times Faster Than India and 3.5 Million Times Than US.
A 2022 survey by consulting firm Shikigaku highlighted how widespread this phenomenon can be. Among 300 employees working at companies with over 300 staff members, 49.2% reported having an “old guy who doesn’t work” in their office. Observed behaviors included long breaks for smoking or snacking (49.7%), staring off into space (47.7%), idle chatting (47.3%), and casual internet browsing (35.3%). Survey respondents attributed this inactivity to lack of motivation (45%), seniority-based salaries (41%), and distrust from management (26.3%). Nearly 90% agreed that such employees negatively affect workplace morale and productivity, while 59.7% noted a decline in overall team morale, and 49% cited increased workload on others.
The practice of madogiwazoku reflects Japan’s cultural and legal emphasis on lifetime employment, where direct firing is difficult. While intended to protect corporate image and avoid legal issues, it often leads to frustration, boredom, and reduced productivity for both the sidelined employees and their teams. Critics argue for clearer performance policies and better employee management to prevent such passive exclusion.

POSJETI veterinaru često su stresni i za vlasnike i za njihove ljubimce. Većina pasa ne voli preglede, no ima i onih koji iznenađuju svojom smirenošću. A ponekad se dogodi i da pas odluči preuzeti stvar u svoje šape. Upravo to prikazuje viralna snimka francuskog buldoga koji je samostalno “vodio” svoj pregled.
Urnebesni video objavljen je 5. kolovoza na Instagram profilu @waltergeoffreythefrenchie, posvećenom francuskom buldogu Walteru Geoffreyu. Walter je već poznat po svojim komičnim ispadima.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Na snimci se vidi kako se Walter odlično snalazi tijekom pregleda, na iznenađenje svoje vlasnice. “Pretpostavljam da mu je dosta da ja objašnjavam veterinaru pa je odlučio sam preuzeti riječ”, napisala je u opisu. Veterinar pita Waltera što ga muči, a ovaj glasnim “odgovorima” daje do znanja da itekako zna kako prenijeti svoje probleme.
Dok većina vlasnika obično govori u ime svojih ljubimaca, Walter je odlučio pokazati neovisnost. Čini se da ga je veterinarka odlično razumjela, jer ga je na kraju uzela u naručje, dok je vlasnica u šali dodala: “Sad sam vodi svoje preglede.”

DESETLJEĆIMA prije nego što su današnje modne influencerice počele vezati svilene marame oko struka i kose, Grace Kelly pokazala je bezvremensku privlačnost ovog modnog dodatka. Njezin elegantan stil, s maramom vezanom ispod brade, postao je toliko prepoznatljiv da je inspirirao izraz “Kelly marama za glavu”, piše InStyle.
Danas njezina unuka, Camille Gottlieb, nastavlja to modno nasljeđe, a nedavno je odala počast slavnoj baki dok je ljetovala na Korzici.
Elegantna i na plaži
Bila je bez šminke, a svoju plavu kosu prekrila je šarenom svilenom maramom. Za razliku od Grace, koja je maramu vezala ispod brade, 27-godišnja aktivistica i influencerica svoju je, s cvjetnim uzorkom u nijansama smeđe, plave, narančaste i tirkizne, svezala iza glave.
Cijelu kombinaciju upotpunila je tirkiznom i zlatnom ogrlicom, dijamantnim naušnicama i pletenim kardiganom ispod kojeg je vidljiv bordo bikini.

Mumbai, August 19: Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) season 12 promises fireworks from the very first weekend as defending champions Haryana Steelers square off against Bengal Warriorz in Vizag on August 31. The season begins on August 29 in Vizag before travelling to Jaipur, Chennai, and New Delhi for the league stage till October 23. The Thursday Instagram Live — part of a special series running every week until the season starts — brought fans face-to-face with two of Kabaddi’s brightest stars: Naveen Kumar and Devank Dalal. What followed was equal parts respect, rivalry, and raw honesty. For Naveen, the clash carries an added layer of sentiment — it marks his long-awaited return home. PKL 2025: U Mumba Eye Second Title in Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 With New Coach and Young Squad.
“This is emotional for me. I have dreamt of playing for Haryana, and the fans have wanted this for years. Now that I’m here, I owe it to them to give everything,” said the man dubbed the ‘Naveen Express’ as quoted by a PKL press release.
He added, “We are champions already, but defending the crown is harder than winning it once. We have got a young, fearless group, and our only focus is to make Haryana proud again.”
Looking ahead to his duel with Devank, Naveen was direct, “If we stop Devank, we win. It is that simple. But I know he would not make it easy — and that is what excites me,” he added.
Pressed on whether fans can expect more aggression from him this season, Naveen did not hold back: “Aggression is part of who I am on the mat. When I raid, I want the defenders to feel the pressure. Against Bengal, we will bring that same fire from the first whistle.” PKL 2025: Jaideep Dahiya To Lead Defending Champions Haryana Steelers, Rahul Sethpal Named Vice-Captain in Pro Kabaddi League Season 12.
Across the mat, Bengal Warriorz’ record signing Devank Dalal spoke with the assurance of a man who has nothing to prove — and yet, everything to achieve.
“Last year changed my life — 301 raid points, best raider, the PKL Final. But I do not want to stop there. Records are made to be broken, and I want to go beyond that,” Devank said.
On handling the weight of being his team’s most expensive player till date, he explained, “People talk about the price tag, but for me it is motivation. The franchise has put its trust in me, and I will repay that trust raid by raid.”
And when asked about facing his senior, Naveen, Devank’s tone shifted, “I respect Naveen bhai a lot — he was my captain with the Services and my mentor. But on the mat, respect turns into rivalry. To be the best, you have to beat the best.” 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’.
He also added a word of warning for the Steelers: “Naveen says stopping me is the key — but good luck catching me. My kicks, my speed, my aggression… this season I want to test every defender in the league, starting with Haryana.”
The contest in Vizag will be more than just two teams battling — it is the story of a homegrown hero defending his legacy and a young star chasing history.
The Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 begins on August 29 and will be broadcast live on the Star Sports Network and streamed on JioHotstar.

Both the Redmi 15 5G, launched on Tuesday, and the recently unveiled Poco M7 Plus 5G promise large batteries, smooth displays and AI-driven features, all within a sub- ₹17,000 price range.
Redmi 15 5G vs Poco M7 Plus 5G: Pricing and availability The Redmi 15 5G starts at ₹14,999 for the 6GB + 128GB variant, going up to ₹16,999 for the 8GB + 256GB option. It will be available from 28 August via Amazon, Xiaomi’s official website and offline retailers. Buyers can choose between Frosted White, Midnight Black and Sandy Purple finishes.
The Poco M7 Plus 5G undercuts its rival slightly, with prices beginning at ₹13,999 for the 6GB + 128GB model and ₹14,999 for the 8GB + 256GB version. It went on sale from 19 August through Flipkart, in Aqua Blue, Carbon Black and Chrome Silver shades.
Redmi 15 5G vs Poco M7 Plus 5G: Display and performance Both smartphones share strikingly similar specifications on paper. Each sports a 6.9-inch Full HD+ display with a 144Hz refresh rate, 288Hz touch sampling rate and up to 850 nits peak brightness. They also carry triple TÜV Rheinland certifications aimed at reducing eye strain.
At the heart of both handsets is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 chipset, paired with up to 8GB of LPDDR4x RAM. Storage differs slightly: while Redmi offers up to 256GB of UFS 2.2 onboard storage across its line-up, Poco caps its higher-end configuration at 128GB. Both run on Android 15 with HyperOS 2.0 and come with a promise of two years of major OS updates and four years of security patches.

Redmi 15 5G vs Poco M7 Plus 5G: Additional features Redmi’s offering brings a few extras to the table, including Dolby-certified speakers, Google’s Gemini integration, and support for Circle to Search. Both phones come with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, IP64 rating for dust and splash resistance, and the brand’s signature IR blaster on the Redmi 15 5G.
Redmi 15 5G vs Poco M7 Plus 5G: Verdict With nearly identical specifications, the Redmi 15 5G and Poco M7 Plus 5G reflect how aggressively brands are competing in India’s affordable segment. While Poco is betting on a slightly lower entry price, Redmi offers more storage options, enhanced AI features and Dolby-tuned audio.
For consumers, the decision may ultimately rest on brand preference, minor feature differences and retail offers.
After the inaugural season of Fallout, the dystopian series is set to return for the second season on Amazon Prime Video this December.
The announcement was made along with a set of first-look photos of the season. The second season is set two centuries after the apocalypse, where residents living in luxury fallout shelters are forced to reintegrate into a society that has become inexplicably complex, weird, and violent, according to the official logline.
The series has Ella Purnell as the lead as the optimistic vault-dweller Lucy, who does it all to rescue her father, alongside Walton Goggins, who plays the bounty hunter, Ghoul, who has been living for 200 years since the great war, through mutation.
The series’ star cast includes Aaton Moten, Kyle MacLachlan, Moises Arias, Sarita Choudhury, Michael Emerson, Frances Turner, Leslie Uggams, Dave Register, Johnny Pemberton, Zach Cherry, Johnny Pemberton, Macaulay Culkin, Rodrigo Luzzi, Xelia Mendes-Jones and Annabel O’Hagan.
Fallout creators Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet also serve as showrunners. The series is produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Kilter Films in association with Bethesda Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks.
Markets extended their morning gains in afternoon trading on Tuesday, with the Sensex climbing 395.91 points or 0.49 per cent to 81,669.66 and the Nifty 50 advancing 110.35 points or 0.44 per cent to 24,987.30 as of 1.30 PM.
Auto stocks emerged as the primary drivers of the rally, with Tata Motors leading the Nifty 50 gainers with a 3.50 per cent surge to 699.65. Bajaj Auto followed with a 2.72 per cent gain to 8,822.00, while Hero MotoCorp rose 2.34 per cent to 5,100.50. The auto sector’s strength contributed to the broader market’s positive momentum as investors continued to digest the morning’s optimistic tone around GST reform prospects.
Reliance Industries added to the gains with a 2.48 per cent increase to 1,416.00, maintaining its position among the top performers. Adani Ports completed the top five gainers, climbing 2.17 per cent to 1,356.00. The broad-based rally reflected sustained buying interest across multiple sectors.
On the downside, Dr Reddy’s Laboratories led the decliners, falling 1.21 per cent to ₹1,247.40. Grasim Industries dropped 1.10 per cent to ₹2,814.50, while Bajaj Finserv declined 1.09 per cent to ₹1,971.70. Hindalco shed 0.98 per cent to ₹707.15, and JSW Steel retreated 0.73 per cent to ₹1,071.90.
Market breadth remained positive across the BSE, with 2,472 stocks advancing against 1,485 declining stocks out of 4,128 traded securities. A total of 127 stocks hit 52-week highs compared to 56 reaching 52-week lows. Additionally, 216 stocks were locked in upper circuits while 168 hit lower circuits, indicating heightened volatility in individual names.
Sectoral performance showed mixed trends, with Nifty Next 50 gaining 280.30 points or 0.42 per cent to 67,676.60 and Nifty Midcap 100 advancing 325.80 points or 0.57 per cent to 57,435.65. Nifty Bank rose 135.40 points or 0.24 per cent to 55,870.90, while Nifty Financial Services remained nearly flat, declining 4.45 points or 0.02 per cent to 26,604.30.
The afternoon session maintained the positive momentum established during the morning, as markets continued to benefit from foreign institutional investor buying after four sessions of net selling. Trading volumes remained robust, with the Sensex opening at 81,319.11 from its previous close of 81,273.75, while the Nifty opened at 24,891.35 against its prior close of 24,876.95.
HelloFresh agreed to pay $7.5 million to settle a consumer protection lawsuit brought by Santa Clara County.
The lawsuit, filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court, alleged the meal-kit company had misled customers and made it difficult for them to cancel their subscriptions.
As part of the settlement, which was approved last week, HelloFresh will pay $6.38 million in civil penalties, $120,000 in investigative costs, and $1 million in restitution to California consumers.
“Misleading automatic renewal subscriptions and false advertising practices don’t sell products — they sell deception,” said Santa Clara County Dist. Atty. Jeff Rosen in a Monday news release about the settlement. “Stop means stop.”
California consumers eligible for the pay out must have been enrolled in HelloFresh’s automatic renewal product subscription between Jan. 1, 2019, and Aug. 18, 2025, and charged for the first shipment without their knowledge. They also must have canceled their subscription after that shipment and failed to receive a refund from HelloFresh.
HelloFresh denied wrongdoing.
“We take our commitment to customer transparency very seriously, and our subscription model and cancellation policies have been consistently clear to customers throughout the whole customer journey,” said HelloFresh spokesperson Abby Dreher in an email. “While we deny any wrongdoing, we have cooperated fully with the coalition of California District Attorneys and have entered into a settlement agreement with them to resolve the matter amicably.”
The Santa Clara County district attorney’s office led the case alongside the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office, as well as other members of the state’s “Automatic Renewal Task Force,” which also includes the district attorney’s offices of San Diego, Santa Barbara, and Santa Cruz counties, as well as Santa Monica’s city attorney.
The company enrolled customers in subscriptions with automatic renewal but did not clearly disclose those terms or offer a simple way to cancel the subscription, the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s office said.
The Santa Clara County District Attorney’s office also said the company had failed to provide terms and conditions of free meal perks, bonus gifts and offers for free shipping — actions that are violations of the state laws governing automatic renewal and false advertising.
Millions of consumers pay for services or goods without their consent, and regulators at the federal level have sought to establish rules that prevent this practice — but with little success.
Although the Federal Trade Commission last year finalized a “click to cancel” rule requiring that it be as easy to cancel a recurrent subscription as to sign up for one, an appeals court of Republican-appointed judges threw out the rule last month after business groups brought a legal challenge. The failure in court came less than a week before the law was to take effect and after years of regulatory work to hash out the specifics.
Utility workers unearthed two pre-Incan tombs during a routine day on the job in Peru – one of many archaeological discoveries in the country this year.
The workers, employed by the energy company Cálidda, found the burials in Lima just recently. The employees have been digging trenches in the city as part of an ongoing underground gas network project.
Both tombs belong to the pre-Incan Chancay culture, which existed in Peru from 1000 to 1470 A.D. The Inca Empire spanned from roughly 1400 to 1533 A.D., with Spanish colonization beginning soon after.
ITALIAN ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNVEIL RARE 2,600-YEAR-OLD TOMB UNTOUCHED BY LOOTERS: ‘DOORWAY TO OUR ANCESTORS’
The two tombs were remarkably different.
One was empty, while the other held a 1,000-year-old skeleton.

Images show excavators working to remove the remains from the soil.
The tomb also contained four clay vessels and three “pumpkin shell artifacts,” according to The Associated Press (AP).
“Lima is unique among Latin American capitals, in that various archaeological finds are unearthed during nearly every civil project.”
The male skeleton was found in a torn cloth bundle in a sitting position. Its legs were against its chest.
Archaeologist José Aliaga told the AP the vessels contained iconography, along with some remaining black, white and red colors.

Local mother Flor Prieto walked through the area with her 7-year-old daughter during the excavation.
She told the AP she’d assumed the area had always been uninhabited.

“I always thought they were paths where no one had lived,” Prieto observed.
“But now I know that people older than the Incas have lived there … It feels so exciting.”

Major wireless carriers: A necessary evil if you travel a lot, have a family, or are just interested in coverage that’s reliably consistent and widespread. AT&T is the third-largest provider in the US (first for 5G), with the largest coverage map. I’ve had various AT&T plans for more than a decade, first for just myself and now for my whole family, even though I only get one cell bar at my house and have to stand in one 5-square-foot patch of yard to make a phone call. And have lost entire days of my life to fighting unexpected random charges and upsells. (Verizon is somehow worse.) But anyway! AT&T is fine, it has all the latest phones, and there are some legitimately good perks, like no roaming in Canada or Mexico with select plans. If you know you’re going to have to go with one of the big guys, don’t sign up without checking out the below discounts first.
Sign Up for AT&T Fiber and Get Up to $300 With These Promo Codes
If you were already thinking of switching to fiber internet, this is definitely the time and the place. Right now, you can earn a Visa Rewards Card worth up to $150 when you sign up for A&T Fiber ($50 for 300 mbps, $100 for 500 mbps, and $150 for 1 GIG), plus you can score an additional $50 when you enter code SUMMER50 at checkout (through September 30). On top of that, you can get an additional $100 rewards card with code EXTRA100 (through August 20). Altogether, it’s more than enough cash for a year’s worth of a couple of your favorite streaming services, plus enough Robux/V-Bucks to keep your kids occupied with video games while you enjoy said streaming services. Note: These deals are only available at att.com for new eligible residential AT&T fiber customers. (Residents of select multi-dwelling units are not eligible.)
Are There AT&T Promos for Existing Customers?
But I already have AT&T, you might be saying—new deals never apply to me. Do you have AT&T internet, though? If, like me, you have AT&T for your phone plan and Xfinity or CenturyLink for internet, did you know you can save 20% off your AT&T bill every single month if you bundle your internet service with unlimited wireless? This applies to both current phone customers and current internet customers who don’t have both plans.
AT&T Discounts for Professionals and Students
One of the reasons I went with AT&T in the first place is because my husband is a college professor and we get a generous 25% off our bill. This 25% discount applies for all teachers, as well as active military, veterans, first responders, and many medical professionals. Not one of the above? Students and union members can save $10 per line per month, and union members can also score 20% off accessories like cases, and stuff you used to be able to get with your phones, like chargers and cords.
How Can I Make My AT&T Plan Cheaper?
Not a new customer; not in a place to bundle; and not a teacher/first responder, in the military, or a student? All is not lost on the discount front. You can save over $800 a year on AT&T Wireless when you bundle four unlimited wireless plans with your current internet plan. (Savings based on 20% discount on four voice lines with eligible internet service, plus $10/month discount with eligible AutoPay & paperless bill, which starts within two bills.)
Don’t need four unlimited wireless plans? Check out if your employer offers a discount—a couple of mine have in the past, and you can save $10 per month per line on the unlimited plan. Check here to see if your workplace qualifies.
You can also get a discount on a new phone with an eligible trade-in, but the best deal yet may be the fact AT&T lets you try its wireless free for 30 days. Keep your current service and phone number while trying out AT&T’s network from your device—no catches or commitments. You don’t even need a credit card. It’s a great way to see if you get good service where you’ll be using the phone most.
Lastly, if none of these deals apply to you, you can wait for Cyber Monday later this year, on December 1), when AT&T is known to have some of its best deals on phones, watches, tablets, and accessories. No codes or coupons required.

ADRIANA Ćaleta-Car zapalila je Instagram posljednjom objavom. Podijelila je seriju fotografija s odmora u Dubrovniku, a na nekoliko njih pozira u upečatljivom crnom dvodijelnom kupaćem kostimu. Objavu su joj ubrzo preplavili emotikoni vatre i srca.
Riječ je o kupaćem kostimu Magde Butrym, dizajnerice poznate po sofisticiranim komadima koji su vrlo popularni među slavnim osobama. Iako najčešće koristi motiv ruže kao svoj prepoznatljiv potpis, kod ovog kupaćeg kostima u prvom planu su veliki biseri.
Na odličnom je sniženju
Crni bikini sastoji se od bandeau topa koji se u sredini spaja uzicama s biserima, stvarajući otvor u obliku proreza. Uzice se nastavljaju prema vratu i vežu poput haltera, dok se dodatne trake križaju ispod grudnjaka na predjelu abdomena. Donji dio visokog je struka, a poseban detalj čine tanke trake koje se križaju ispod struka i ukrašene su velikim biserima, stvarajući dojam nakita na kupaćem kostimu.
Ovaj komad djeluje vrlo efektno i zasigurno privlači pažnju bilo na plaži, bilo uz bazen. Ako je i vas osvojio, trenutačno je na odličnom sniženju – i gornjem i donjem dijelu cijena je srezana za 50%. Pogledajte ga u nastavku.
O brendu
Magda Butrym jedno je od najzanimljivijih imena na svjetskoj modnoj sceni. Poljska dizajnerica brend je pokrenula 2014. godine, a danas je poznata po luksuznim komadima koji kombiniraju retro inspiraciju s modernim krojevima. Njezin zaštitni znak su ruže – u obliku voluminoznih aplikacija, printova ili ručno rađenih ukrasa – zahvaljujući kojima su njezine kolekcije odmah prepoznatljive.
Iako je najpoznatija po haljinama, Butrym svoj potpis prenosi i na druge komade, uključujući kupaće kostime. Naizgled jednostavne krojeve obogaćuje detaljima poput bisera ili cvjetnih aplikacija, pa svaki model postaje modni statement i izgleda poput upečatljivog modnog dodatka.
Njezine kreacije obožavaju brojne svjetske zvijezde – od Hailey Bieber i Kim Kardashian do Jennifer Lawrence i Kendall Jenner. Upravo zbog tog spoja luksuza, unikatnih detalja i bezvremenskog dizajna, Magda Butrym iz sezone u sezonu potvrđuje status jedne od najtraženijih suvremenih dizajnerica.

Realme is set to launch its P4 5G and P4 Pro 5G smartphones in India on 20 August. Ahead of the official release, the company’s Chief Marketing Officer, Francis Wong, has disclosed the price of the base variant of the Realme P4 5G.
Pricing details
According to Wong, the handset will be priced at Rs. 17,499 in India for the entry-level RAM and storage configuration. The figure is reported to include bank discounts, suggesting that the actual maximum retail price could be slightly higher. For comparison, the Realme P3 5G, launched in March, had a starting price of Rs. 16,999 but was available for Rs. 14,999 after a Rs. 2,000 bank offer.
Realme P4 Specifications
The Realme P4 5G is confirmed to be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultra 5G processor and will feature a dedicated Pixelworks chip. It is suggested to offer a 6.77-inch AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of up to 4,500 nits.
Moreover, the phone will come equipped with a 7,000mAh battery that would supports 80W fast charging and may incorporate a 7,000 sq mm vapour chamber cooling system.
In terms of cameras, the P4 5G will offer a 50MP primary sensor and an 8MP ultrawide lens at the rear, alongside a 16MP front-facing camera for selfies and video calls.
The P4 5G is positioned as one of the few smartphones in the sub-Rs. 20,000 segment to include a dedicated graphics chip. The company has compared its specifications with competing models such as the Moto G96 5G, iQOO Z10R 5G, and Vivo T4R.
Realme P4 Pro 5G Specifications
The Realme P4 Pro 5G, launching on the same date, will feature a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor, a dedicated HyperVision AI GPU, a 7,000mAh battery with 80W fast charging, and 10W reverse charging. Both devices will be available for purchase via Flipkart.
Like many of his colleague actors, Antony Varghese Pepe has stepped into film production, launching his own namesake banner on Sunday in Chalakudy, Thrissur. Sharing the news on social media, the actor wrote a reflective note about perseverance and vision. His new banner, AVP Productions, is named for his intials.
“To those who dream, to those who work tirelessly, to those who manifest with faith, remember, everything unfolds in its own time. Success may come today, or it may arrive tomorrow, but it always finds its way to those who persist. Being one among them, today is a truly special day,” he wrote. He added that his excitement lay not just in the achievement itself but in the larger journey of cinema ahead. “It is not just my moment, it is a step forward for all of us who believe in the power of cinema. Expecting your love and support, being one among you, being one for you,” he concluded.
Antony’s next outing is the action-packed Kattalan, which begins production on August 22 in Kochi under the direction of Paul George. The upcoming film adds to the actor’s growing slate of action-oriented roles, after marking his breakout with Lijo Jose Pellissery’s Angamaly Diaries (2017).

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has proposed to adjust constituent weights in existing non-benchmark indices such as NSE’s Nifty Bank and BSE’s Bankex with derivatives.
The regulator, through a circular issued earlier in May, had capped the maximum weight of the top constituent at 20 per cent and the combined weight of the top three at 45 per cent. It also mandated that such indices carry at least 14 constituents. The objective, SEBI said, was to ensure broad-based indices and curb concentration risk.
Both NSE and BSE have submitted their preferences for implementing the changes. BSE’s Bankex, with 10 constituents but no ETFs tracking it, may undergo one-time restructuring. NSE’s Nifty Bank and Nifty Financial Services, however, have substantial ETF assets under management — ₹34,251 crore and ₹511 crore, respectively.
Given the large flows involved, NSE has suggested a phased glide path of four tranches over four months for Nifty Bank to prevent market disruption.
Market participants, including mutual funds and the Association of Mutual Funds in India, have largely supported retaining existing indices while rebalancing them, citing the need to preserve liquidity, brand identity, and avoid investor confusion.
SEBI has sought stakeholder feedback by September 8.
On a recent Sunday afternoon, Tetsuya Nakao — the affable, upbeat 62-year-old Asanebo sushi chef with slicked silver hair — is filming one of his soon-to-be viral videos. Cheeky, occasionally unhinged and released nearly every day, they’ve garnered the Studio City legend a new fandom that’s changed Nakao’s life and his business, possibly forever.
Nakao is flanked by cameras at a makeshift cooking station at the center of his restaurant. He seamlessly bounces between Japanese and English as he speaks to his staff while topping his crispy-rice “pizza” with Wagyu slices, caviar, uni and gold dust. The dish won’t be served at his restaurant, but it could be shared by millions of fans.
Our favorite places to eat and drink in the 818. From high-end sushi to burger shacks, tiki bars, dives and more.
He dusts so much edible gold over the top it looks like the “pizza” passed through the glitter aisle at a craft store, a dish truly made for the eye of the algorithm. A cameraman readies the boom mic to catch the crunching sounds from his first bite.
They throw out line suggestions: “Better than Pizza Hut,” “Better than Domino’s,” “I’m the real Papa John.” (They settle on the last one, after deciding they probably won’t get sued.)

In one video he deep-fries a Labubu. In another, he plays Jenga with raw Wagyu. Playful and regularly ending with the signature phrase “Asanebo style,” Nakao’s videos have captured a social media audience that’s turned the stalwart sushi spot into an international destination.
“We’ve had customers flying from all over the world,” says general manager Kunio Kaji, an employee of roughly 16 years and a driving force behind Asanebo’s videos. “We have people who came on a private jet from Japan just to see him. … It’s to a point where he’s known. It’s not like back in the day, when he was just in the back peeling onions. He’s a star.”
They started the restaurant’s Instagram account with 4,000 followers. Now they’ve amassed more than 1.1 million fans on that platform, and more than 950,000 on TikTok.
Nakao reluctantly agreed to appear online. In the wake of a pandemic, entertainment industry strikes, rising operating costs and wildfires, they needed a new way to advertise the business. It also introduced him — a chef who preferred to work behind the scenes — to the world.
“The whole point was me trying to get him out of his shell that he was in,” says Kaji, who also appears in the videos. “I told him I had this vision, and if this really works, I think it not only will draw more people to come in, but everyone’s going to recognize him for who he is and what he has accomplished for 34 years.”
Nakao’s sons, 19 and 22, watch the videos religiously. His wife, he says, never mentions them.
The team films on Wednesday and Sunday afternoons before dinner service, anywhere from three to seven videos each day. Today they’re shooting a cooking ASMR — the most popular but also time consuming — as well as two “relatables”: silly, trend-inspired sketches that often involve Kaji and the chefs.
Between shoots it feels a little like a green room before a play. Staff change into costumes. One dons a long, blond wig. They quickly run through the sketches, the blocking and their lines.
Two members of Nakao’s team say that while there are many food videos vying for attention in the world, there is only one Nakao, and he’s the secret to their success.

Now he’s approached for photos at the grocery store or at dinner with his family. They ask, “Excuse me, are you Asanebo?”
“I never expected it,” Nakao says of his newfound stardom. “I started the Instagram at 61; I didn’t know what Instagram is! Like, you know, TikTok? ‘What is the TikTok?’”
“He thought it was a Tic Tac,” Kaji laughs. “I said, ‘It’s an app.’ He said, ‘App? What’s an app?’”
It’s a far cry from the pastoral cowboy life Nakao imagined he’d lead.
When the rugged appeal of the Marlboro Man caught his eye, Tokyo-born-and-raised Nakao flew to San Luis Obispo in 1982 to work on a family friend’s ranch. (“I thought, ‘Wow’ — that’s a man! I want to be like this.”) Unable to wake up early enough to work the land and tend the cattle, he was fired after only a month and a half. Nearly a decade later it would inspire the name of his own restaurant, “Asanebo,” which translates to “sleepyhead” or “late riser.”

He moved to Los Angeles to find a new career and, only able to say “yes,” “no” and “thank you” in English, trawled the local Japanese newspapers to find a job. He started as a dishwasher at a restaurant in Marina del Rey, and soon after was transferred to the sushi station. It was there, at O-Sho, that he met Nobu Matsuhisa.
Before he became one of the world’s most famous sushi masters and founded upscale chain Nobu, Matsuhisa took Nakao under his wing, as well as Nakao’s younger brother, Shunji Japanese Cuisine chef-owner Shunji Nakao. The three worked together at O-Sho, and then at Matsuhisa in Beverly Hills, before the Nakao brothers left to begin Asanebo.
Shin departed in 2000, while Tetsuya remained. The popularity grew steadily over the decades, especially with locals and celebrities; today, Bruno Mars is waiting patiently outside for the doors to open.
But the largest jump in sales, Kaji says, came from Nakao’s new online stardom. They estimate business has increased 20% to 30%.

When the initiative began last April, Nakao never wanted to touch the ornate and outrageous dishes that garner the most views, likes and follows. For nearly all of his career the man wouldn’t offer rolls made with now-ubiquitous mayonnaise or sriracha. He never imagined he’d make sushi inspired by the video game “Minecraft.”
But after a few attempts, Nakao realized he could do both: serve the classics at the restaurant, and the over-the-top online. It’s helped him become more flexible as a chef: Now he does serve mayonnaise-laced hand rolls and spicy tuna, though he still refuses to make sushi rolls featuring rice on the exterior; it wouldn’t do his imported Japanese seaweed justice.
His exacting parameters haven’t stopped legions of fans from requesting his video items at Asanebo, which the team politely declines to make.
And Nakao’s popularity hasn’t stopped blowback from sushi purists.
“There were comments and direct messages saying, ‘What are you doing? You’re a sushi chef, you’re not supposed to be doing this,’” Kaji said. “People are commenting, ‘You’ve gone mad.’”
They hurt the chef’s feelings on a deeply personal level. He grew to understand that this is par for the course when existing on the internet. Now, Nakao says, he simply never reads the comments.

Back at the center of the intimate, wood-accented sushi bar, before Nakao takes a bite of his “pizza,” a camera operator reminds him to flash his signature thumbs-up and say the tagline heard ’round the world: “Asanebo style!” They breeze through two more videos before wrapping up the day’s social media shoots.
Maybe next time, they say, Nakao should riff on skincare, rubbing uni and other ingredients on his face as if part of a nighttime routine? Or maybe they should make another video with jumbo clams? They decide to table the decision for another day, turning their attention to dinner service. After all, they’re still running one of the city’s favorite sushi restaurants and Bruno Mars is waiting.
A researcher may have uncovered the oldest written references to Moses, dating back 3,800 years and hidden in an Egyptian desert.
The two etchings were found at Serabit el-Khadim, an ancient turquoise mining site in the Sinai Desert where Semitic laborers once worked during the Middle Bronze Age.
The Proto-Sinaitic inscriptions date back between 1800 and 1600 B.C.
RARE BIBLICAL SEAL WITH ANCIENT FINGERPRINT FOUND IN DEBRIS FROM JERUSALEM’S TEMPLE MOUNT
They were etched centuries before the earliest parts of the Bible were written between the 10th and 7th centuries B.C.
The two inscriptions, among many at the site, were first discovered in the early 1900s – but they’re now being reanalyzed by an American-Israeli epigraphist named Michael S. Bar-Ron. The expert, who’s also a graduate student at Ariel University, spoke with Fox News Digital about the discovery.
Ancient Proto-Sinaitic inscriptions from Serabit el-Khadim may include a reference to the biblical figure Moses, according to an American-Israeli researcher.(Michael S. Bar-Ron)
Bar-Ron posits that the inscriptions read “Zot M’Moshe” and “Ne’um Moshe.”
The phrases may mean “This is from Moses” and “Declaration of Moses,” respectively.
If verified, the inscriptions are the earliest written mention of Moses outside the Bible.
The inscriptions also reference El, a deity associated with the Abrahamic God, while censuring the ancient pagan goddess Ba`alat.
If verified, the inscriptions are the earliest written mention of Moses outside the Bible.
Speaking to Fox News Digital, Bar-Ron noted that the Serabit el-Khadim site once housed a temple to Ba`alat.
Some of the etchings, Bar-Ron says, seem to reflect resistance to the goddess’ worship from Semitic workers.
The inscriptions are believed to date between 1800 and 1600 B.C., centuries before the Bible was written.(Michael S. Bar-Ron)
“Rather than lauding Ba`alat … [the] readings curse out the Ba`alat cult, with words of warning and rebuke to its followers,” Bar-Ron said.
He added, “They include the terms ‘BŠ’ – ‘for shame’ or ‘this is shameful’ – and ‘nimosh,’ [which means] ‘let us leave’ [or] ‘remove ourselves.’”
RARE 1,600-YEAR-OLD MOSAIC FROM CHRISTIAN MONASTERY UNVEILED AFTER CENTURIES OF OBSCURITY
The Herculean task of translating the ancient etchings took nearly a decade, Bar-Ron said.
“I spent eight years actively involved in the painstaking, oft-frustrating reconstruction of some 23 wordy Proto-Sinaitic inscriptions,” the epigraphist noted.
“That is, based on the principles of the foremost greats in the field, and informed by the work of my distinguished colleagues in the field.”
Michael S. Bar-Ron’s analysis forms the foundation of his graduate thesis at Ariel University and has undergone academic supervision.(Michael S. Bar-Ron)
He also believes the “Moses” inscriptions may have a common author, pointing to certain “stylistic points” such as word usage.

Bar-Ron’s larger graduate thesis explores “a Mosaic-type leadership” in the region at the time.
He described the latest revelations about the inscriptions as “nonessential icing on the cake.”
“The finding ‘Zot M’Moshe’ and ‘Ne’um Moshe’ were really last-minute discoveries and nonessential to that subpoint (possible Mosaic authorship), within a much more serious thesis,” he said.

Bar-Ron also noted that his findings will be peer-reviewed in the future; his research has already been edited over 100 times.
“If we were drawing such conclusions on the basis of one or two inscriptions, it would be weak,” he observed. “Rather, they are based on what is understood across the full set found at Serabit el-Khadim.”
The researcher said he spent eight years reconstructing 23 Proto-Sinaitic inscriptions, calling the process “painstaking” and “oft-frustrating.”(Michael S. Bar-Ron)
“I cannot emphasize enough how important it is for educated readers to actually read the proto-thesis itself.”
Excavators have long searched for archaeological evidence of Moses, mostly without success.

Last summer, an ancient sword from the era of the Book of Exodus was uncovered in Egypt.
More recently, a French expert identified ancient “propaganda” praising Ramesses II, the Egyptian leader who may have challenged Moses.
The Cambridge Dictionary has added more than 6,000 new words this year, including “Skibidi” – one of the popular slang terms used on social media.
“Skibidi” is a gibberish term coined by the creator of an animated YouTube series and can mean “cool” or “bad” or be used with no real meaning as a joke.
Other popular words added in the world’s largest online dictionary, include “tradwife” – a contraction of “traditional wife” referring to a married mother who cooks, cleans and posts on social media; “delulu” – a shortening of the word delusional that means “believing things that are not real or true, usually because you choose to”; and “mouse jiggler” – a device or piece of software used to make it seem like you are working when you are not.
Delulu emerged more than 10 years ago as an insult directed at obsessive K-pop followers to question their belief that they would date their idols.
“Internet culture is changing the English language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the dictionary,” said Colin McIntosh, Lexical Programme Manager at Cambridge Dictionary, reported Associated Press.
“Forever chemical” has also been added to the words list. It means a harmful chemical that remains in the environment for a long time.
Other new phrases include “lewk”, used to describe a unique fashion look and popularised by RuPaul’s Drag Race, and “inspo”, short for inspiration.
The Cambridge Dictionary uses the Cambridge English Corpus, a database of more than 2 billion words of written and spoken English, to monitor how new words are used by different people, how often and in what contexts they are used, Cambridge University Press said.
“It’s not every day you get to see words like skibidi and delulu make their way into the Cambridge Dictionary,” said McIntosh.
“We only add words where we think they’ll have staying power,” he noted.
NZXT Lift 2 Symm for $50: PC manufacturer NZXT has been venturing out into the peripherals market with impressive products for a company so relatively new to the game. The NZXT Lift 2 Symm is no exception. This mouse has a hollow interior and a base that uses minimal plastic. This gives it an ultra-lightweight feel, but avoids the odd feeling that other mice like the SteelSeries Aerox 3 give off by reducing the amount of plastic in the pieces that touch your hands. Combined with an 8,000-Hz polling rate, optical switches, and an excessively robust 26,000 dpi optical sensor, this mouse is more than capable of handling even the fastest games at a low price.
Logitech MX Master 3S for $120: The MX Master 3S isn’t a gaming mouse per se, but it’s also better at being a gaming mouse than many dedicated gaming mice. It features a few extra customizable buttons, plus a horizontal side scrolling wheel. It’s ridiculously comfortable. Logitech’s been making mice for years, and this mouse benefits from all that experience, with a smooth arc for your palm and a rest spot for your thumb. It even includes a button in that spot where your thumb naturally rests. This is the preferred daily mouse of many WIRED staffers. The one downside is that the 125-Hz polling rate is a bit low for competitive FPS games, but if you’re looking for something more solo, it’s hard to get more comfortable than this.
Logitech MX Anywhere 3S for $80: This a cheaper, compact mouse that can connect to up to three devices via Bluetooth, and gets 70 hours on a single three-hour charge. It doesn’t have as many fancy gaming-centric features, but if you just need a decent mouse and want to save a little money, this is a great option.
Logitech G203

Logitech G203 for $35: Budget gaming mice often forgo a lot of the conveniences and performance you get out of nicer models, but the Logitech G203 never feels like it’s lacking. The sensor has a lower maximum sensitivity than you’ll get out of a more expensive offering—8,000 dots per inch—so if you need that top-end sensitivity, you’ll want to look elsewhere, but it features six buttons, compatibility with Logitech’s G Hub software, and, most importantly, has RGB lighting. Those are all things you’d typically expect to pay more for.
Turtle Beach Burst II Air for $100: The Turtle Beach Burst II Air at times felt like it wasn’t even there. I’ve played with a lot of mice that cut out huge chunks of their plastic hull to reduce weight, but the Burst II Air feels incredibly light without all the gaping holes. The skates are so smooth I felt like I could push the mouse around by blowing on it. The USB-A wireless dongle fits inside a small compartment on the bottom, right next to a physical switch that swaps between 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth modes. Two customizable thumb buttons sit along the side, while a third button for cycling dpi sits farther down along the edge, which I found particularly interesting. Most mice put this button on the top of the mouse, where it can sometimes be accidentally pressed, but this spot is so convenient it makes me wonder why Turtle Beach is the first company I’ve seen place it here.
Logitech G Pro Wireless for $110: Logitech’s G Pro X series was designed with input from esports professionals. Lightning-fast response times and proper ergonomics ensure that the additional buttons are right where your fingers rest. The wireless receiver delivers 1-millisecond response times, so you won’t miss headshots due to lag. The buttons are satisfying and sturdy, with mechanically tensioned springs underneath both the left and right buttons, and separate key plates for accuracy. It lasts around 48 hours on a single charge, but if you want to completely forget about charging, get the wireless charging-mat bundle.
SteelSeries Aerox 9

SteelSeries Aerox 9 for $150: This has a large array of side buttons. Its shell also has a grid cutout pattern, which SteelSeries says helps reduce the weight of the mouse, but my roommate says it triggers her trypophobia, so your mileage may vary.
Razer Cobra Pro for $130: I am personally a fan of mice with a dozen extra buttons, but if you’d rather just have a little bit of extra power without being overwhelmed, the Razer Cobra Pro might be more your speed. It has two thumb buttons on the left side, as well as two dpi controls down the middle, all of which can be customized to your needs. While playing Overwatch 2, I like to use the dpi buttons to cycle between sensitivities for different heroes, but when I’m using it for work, I like that I can assign common shortcuts or macros that I need while getting things done.
Great Mousepads
One of the cheapest things you can do to upgrade your PC gaming experience is to invest in a high-quality mousepad. If you’re a mouse-and-keyboard gamer, having the right surface for your trusty little rodent can be super helpful. Not only do you have a nice little area of your desk cordoned off for mouse use, but you also get a surface designed to be as friction-free and slick as possible—so you’ll be as quick as possible.
Harber London Professional Leather Desk Mat

Harber London Professional Leather Desk Mat for $193: Despite more than a year of use, this Harber London leather desk mat still looks exquisite. The pebbled leather is supple and has a nice texture, but your mouse will glide over it effortlessly. It comes in three sizes and three colors.
SteelSeries QcK Mouse Pad for $8: SteelSeries’ QcK mousepad is one of my all-time favorites. The medium size is perfect for most desks, even small ones. It’s well-made and doesn’t fray easily—cheaper mousepads often fray at the edges, which ruins the aesthetic a good mousepad can lend to a workstation.

Grovemade Wool Felt Desk Pad for $70: This doesn’t seem like your usual gaming accessory, because it’s not. It’s a wool felt pad from Portland, Oregon, company Grovemade, and it’s large enough to fit a keyboard and a mouse with room to spare. It feels soft and plush under your wrists, and all of the gaming mice on this list just glide over its surface; it’s like they’re sliding on glass. It’s a big surprise, honestly. Not to mention, a felt desk pad adds an air of sophistication and style to any desk, without making it seem too uptight. The color looks amazing under RGB lighting in a dark room. It’s an easy and affordable way to inject some unique style into your work (and play) space.

IAKO se povezanost prehrane i rizika od raka istražuje već desetljećima, znanstvenici naglašavaju da je dosad manje pozornosti posvećeno rjeđim vrstama raka. Upravo zato provedeno je novo istraživanje s ciljem da se ispita može li određeni prehrambeni obrazac pružiti zaštitu i od takvih oblika bolesti.
Istraživanje je koristilo podatke iz studije Adventist Health Study-2 (AHS-2), koja je obuhvatila više od 95.000 sudionika iz SAD-a i Kanade između 2002. i 2007. godine. Nakon isključivanja osoba s postojećim dijagnozama raka i nepotpunim podacima, analizirano je 79.468 sudionika.
Sudionici su ispunili detaljne upitnike o prehrani, a dio podataka potvrđen je 24-satnim prehrambenim prisjećanjima i biomarkerima. Sudionici su bili podijeljeni u pet skupina prema prehrambenim navikama, a vegetarijanci (vegani, lakto-ovo-vegetarijanci i pesko-vegetarijanci) uspoređeni su s nevegetarijancima, prenosi EatingWell.
Rezultati su pokazali da su vegetarijanci općenito imali manji rizik od raka u odnosu na nevegetarijance. Ukupno gledano, rizik od bilo kojeg raka bio je 12 posto niži, a kod srednje učestalih karcinoma, poput melanoma, raka štitnjače i gušterače, rizik je bio 18 posto niži.

Istraživanje ipak ima određena ograničenja
Posebno značajni rezultati uključivali su 45 posto niži rizik od raka želuca, 25 posto niži rizik od limfoma i 21 posto niži rizik od kolorektalnog raka. Vegani su imali najveću zaštitu: 24 posto manji ukupni rizik od raka, dok su lakto-ovo-vegetarijanci imali devet posto, a pesko-vegetarijanci 11 posto manji rizik.
Studija ipak ima određena ograničenja. Rijetki oblici raka zabilježeni su u malom broju slučajeva, osobito među veganima i pesko-vegetarijancima, što otežava donošenje čvrstih zaključaka. Također, nevegetarijanci uključeni u ovo istraživanje bili su zdravstveno osvješteniji i konzumirali su manje mesa od opće populacije, pa su razlike među skupinama bile manje izražene.
Osim toga, istraživanje je bilo promatračko i temeljilo se na podacima prikupljenim na početku, bez praćenja promjena prehrambenih navika tijekom vremena.

PSI SU POZNATI po svojoj snalažljivosti i prilagodljivosti, a jedan video s Instagrama to najbolje pokazuje. U njemu vlasnica, koja nije mogla pronaći povodac, svoju zlatnu retrivericu Charly izvela je u večernju šetnju koristeći prijenosni ventilator. U opisu je sa smiješkom napisala: “Samo je sretna što smo išli u njezinu večernju šetnju”.
U kratkom videu vlasnica objašnjava kako nikako nije mogla pronaći povodac. Umjesto da odustane od šetnje, dosjetila se neobičnog rješenja: kabel prijenosnog ventilatora privezala je za pseću ogrlicu. Tako je nastavila njihovu svakodnevnu rutinu, a čini se da retriverici takav “povodac” nimalo ne smeta. Veselo je hodala uz vlasnicu, koja je zadovoljno primijetila: “Hoda prilično dobro, iskreno!”

Snimka je ubrzo postala viralna i izazvala brojne simpatične komentare. Mnogi su ostavljali emotikone smijeha, dok su drugi hvalili opuštenost retriverice. “Sviđa mi se kako se životinje jednostavno prepuste situaciji”, napisao je jedan korisnik.
Video je prikupio više od 2.4 milijuna pregleda i 136 tisuća lajkova, potvrđujući da i najjednostavnija snalažljivost može osvojiti srca milijuna ljudi.

ČINI se da je Omega ovo ljeto odlučila posvetiti manjim, ali značajnim doradama u svojoj ponudi. Nakon što je prošlog mjeseca predstavio Seamaster Diver 300M s narančastim detaljima, švicarski proizvođač sada donosi suptilno osvježenje u popularnu liniju Aqua Terra s tirkiznim brojčanikom.
Manje od godinu dana nakon što je lansiran prvi Aqua Terra u tirkiznoj varijanti, novi model dobiva mat crni keramički okvir koji stvara kontrast sjajnom brojčaniku s gradijentom i crnim PVD oznakama. Umjesto čelične narukvice, tu je gumeni remen u integriranom stilu s tirkiznim šavovima, piše Hodinkee.

Dvije veličine kućišta
Kao i prethodni modeli, satovi dolaze u kućištima od 38 i 41 milimetar, a sve ključne specifikacije ostaju iste. Obje veličine vodootporne su do 150 metara, pri čemu model od 38 mm ima debljinu kućišta od 12.4 mm, dok veći od 41 mm mjeri 13.3 mm.
Manji model pokreće manufakturni kalibar 8800, dok se u većem nalazi kalibar 8900. Oba mehanizma imaju METAS certifikat Master Chronometer, što jamči otpornost na magnetska polja do 15.000 Gaussa.
Novi Aqua Terra modeli s tirkiznim brojčanikom i gumenim remenom već su dostupni za kupnju, a cijena za oba iznosi 7800 eura.

LONDON: Terence Stamp, the British actor who often played the role of a complex villain, including that of General Zod in the early Superman films, has died. He was 87.
His death on Sunday was disclosed in a death notice published online, prompting a wave of tributes from and an array of fans and those close to him within the industry, including the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, or BAFTA.
The London-born Stamp started his film career with 1962’s seafaring “Billy Budd,” for which he earned Oscar and BAFTA award nominations.
His six decades in the business were peppered with highlights, including his touching portrayal of the transsexual Bernadette in 1994’s “The Adventure of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert,” the second of his two BAFTA nominations.
But it will be his portrayal of the bearded Zod in 1978’s “Superman” and its sequel “Superman II” two years later that most people associate with Stamp. As the Kryptonian arch enemy to Christopher Reeve’s Man of Steel, Stamp introduced a darker, charming and vulnerable — more human — element to the franchise, one that’s been replicated in countless superhero movies ever since.
Edgar Wright, who directed Stamp in his final feature film, 2021’s “Last Night in Soho,” remembered the actor in an Instagram post as “kind, funny, and endlessly fascinating.”
“The closer the camera moved, the more hypnotic his presence became. In close-up, his unblinking gaze locked in so powerfully that the effect was extraordinary. Terence was a true movie star: the camera loved him, and he loved it right back,” Wright said.
Bill Duke, who starred with Stamp in director Steven Soderbergh’s 1999 crime drama “The Limey,” said he was “deeply saddened” to hear of his death.
“He brought a rare intensity to the screen, but off-screen he carried himself with warmth, grace, and generosity,” he said on Facebook.
Stamp started his acting career on stage in the late 1950s, where he acted in repertory theatre and met Michael Caine, who was five years older than himself. The pair lived together in a flat in central London while looking for their big break.
He got his break with “Billy Budd” and Stamp embarked on a career that would see him in the early 1960s be part of the “angry young men” movement that was introducing an element of social realism into British moviemaking.
That was perhaps most notable in the 1965 adaptation of John Fowles’ creepy debut novel “The Collector,” where he played the awkward and lonely Freddie Clegg, who kidnapped Samantha Eggar’s Miranda Grey in a warped attempt to win her love. It was a performance that would earn the young Stamp, fresh off his Oscar nomination, the best actor award at that year’s Cannes Film Festival.
While part of that 1960s British movement, Stamp learned from some of the most seasoned actors from the classical era, including Laurence Olivier.
“I worked with Olivier briefly on my second movie (1962’s “Term of Trial”),” Stamp recalled in an interview with the AP in 2013. “And he said to me, ‘You should always study your voice.’” Stamp then segued into a spot-on Olivier impersonation, continuing, “‘Because, as you get older, your looks go, but your voice will become empowered.’”
His career took a bit of a hiatus from the late 1960s after he missed out on the role of James Bond to replace Sean Connery, that included a years-long stint in India and which saw him embrace a more holistic approach to his self.
It was the unexpected role of General Zod that brought him back to the limelight. He played John Tunstall in 1988’s “Young Guns,” the Galactic Republic leader in 1999’s “Star Wars” prequel “The Phantom Menace,” appeared in the comedies “Yes Man” and “Get Smart” in 2008 and delivered voice performances in the video games “Halo 3” and “The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.”
Born in London’s East End on July 22, 1938, Stamp lived a colorful life, particularly during the 1960s when he had a string of romances, including with actress Julie Christie and model Jean Shrimpton. He married 29-year-old Elizabeth O’Rourke in 2002 at the age of 64 but the couple divorced six years later. Stamp did not have any children.
Stamp retained his looks as the years ticked by, his natural handsomeness hardened by a more grizzled look.
He generally sought to keep his standards high — to a point.
“I don’t do crappy movies, unless I haven’t got the rent,” he said.
Ashok Leyland shares jumped 8.2 per cent to ₹131.96 on Monday afternoon, hitting a new 52-week high of ₹132.80, after the commercial vehicle manufacturer reported record first-quarter results. The stock opened at ₹125.10 against the previous close of ₹121.96.
The Hinduja Group flagship announced its highest-ever Q1 revenue of ₹8,725 crore and record volumes of 44,238 units for the quarter ended June 2025. EBITDA improved to ₹970 crore with margins expanding 50 basis points year-on-year to 11.1 per cent, while profit after tax rose to ₹594 crore from ₹526 crore in the same period last year.
Leading brokerages maintained their bullish stance on the stock. Bank of America set a target price of ₹146, while Avendus Capital and Motilal Oswal pegged it at ₹140 and ₹141 respectively. Axis Securities maintained its buy rating with a target of ₹135, citing operational outperformance and market share gains.
The company’s medium and heavy commercial vehicle truck volumes grew 2 per cent year-on-year, with market share increasing from 28.9 per cent to 30.7 per cent. Light commercial vehicle volumes reached an all-time quarterly high of 15,566 units, while exports grew 29 per cent to 3,011 units.
Ashok Leyland maintained its cash-positive position with ₹821 crore at the quarter-end. The company expects mid-single-digit growth in the domestic commercial vehicle industry for FY26, supported by government infrastructure spending and improved freight rates.
In his new cookbook “What Can I Bring?” Casey Elsass shares a recipe for fried halloumi caprese. Here’s Elsass on his salad: I’m going to ask, but not demand, that you wait for peak tomatoes. This salad is especially bare bones, so everything needs to be on point for it to sing. But when it’s right, it’s right. I love halloumi in a caprese because (and this is not mozzarella slander) it has a sharper, saltier, tangy flavor and fries up so nicely for a slightly crispy outside. Flash frying fresh oregano not only crisps up the leaves but also gives you a super fragrant oil to drizzle over the final salad.
Four years after Afghanistan fell to Taliban control, the Islamic country is not only welcoming tourists, it’s seeing a recent travel boost.
Taliban forces captured the capital city of Kabul on Aug. 15, 2021, following the chaotic withdrawal of American troops under the Biden administration.
Deputy Minister of Tourism Qudratullah Jamal told The Associated Press (AP) recently that Afghanistan had nearly 9,000 foreign visitors last year — with 3,000 tourists in the first three months of this year.

“Tourism brings many benefits to a country,” he said. “We have considered those benefits and aim for our nation to take full advantage of them.”
United Nations educational, scientific and cultural organization director-general Audrey Azoulay told Fox News Digital in a statement that the Taliban has wiped out any gains for Afghan women.

“This exclusion of women from public life in Afghanistan has disastrous consequences for the country’s long-term development,” she said.
“At a time when some are seeking to normalize relations with the Taliban, I call on the international community to remain more mobilized than ever to fully and unconditionally restore Afghan women’s right to education.”
“I expected to feel rather fearful.”

Suzanne Sandral, an Australian in the group, told AP she was surprised. “It’s not what I expected at all. I expected to feel rather fearful. I expected to be given a lot of … accusatory looks. Not at all.”
She said, “Wherever you go in the streets, if you smile at someone and give them a little nod or say hello, you get a terrific response. So it’s very different.”
Another woman in the group posted videos of her recent trip in June on TikTok. She captioned a video, “Exploring the nuanced and complex lives of Afghan women in context, and exploring all this beautiful land has to offer.”
The U.S. Department of State, however, is very clear.
It lists travel to Afghanistan as “Travel Advisory Level 4: Do Not Travel” — warning of civil unrest, crime, terrorism, risk of wrongful detention, kidnapping and limited health facilities.
DANGEROUS TRAVEL FOR THE ‘ADDED THRILL’ IS ON THE RISE AS VISITORS FLOCK TO HIGH-RISK COUNTRIES
“U.S. citizen travelers to Afghanistan have been wrongfully detained for months or even years,” said a spokesperson. “We remind all U.S. citizen travelers that no adventure or vacation is worth the price of your freedom.”
Other traveler influencers and regular tourists have shared their experiences on social media – with most showing the Taliban-run country in a positive light.

A travel photographer posted a recap of her trip, saying she was “one of the first tourists to visit the country after the Taliban takeover.”
She added in a TikTok video that has been viewed over 56,000 times, “I was completely blown away by the incredible hospitality of the locals, amazing food and beautiful scenery.”
“No adventure or vacation is worth the price of your freedom.”
A popular solo traveler and social media creator posted a video of his trip to Afghanistan, writing, “I know a lot of people have mixed feelings about Afghanistan travel, but honestly, I had an amazing time there as a solo traveler.”

Manizha Bakhari, ambassador of Afghanistan to Austria, told Fox News Digital the Taliban’s promotion of tourism is an attempt at “image management.”
“As someone who has lived and worked in Afghanistan, I can say this: What these female influencers experience is not representative of women’s lives in Afghanistan,” said Bakhtari.
She added, “The Taliban treat foreign women differently, and often with exaggerated politeness, because they serve a purpose in the regime’s public relations strategy.”

The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) released its human rights report in May, pointing out that Afghan women are being denied the opportunity to join the workforce and are unable to access services without a male relative — while girls are still deprived of their right to education.
The State Department wrote in its 2024 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices document that treatment of woman has become progressively worse.
The new report stated that there has been “further restricted access to education, employment, and freedom of movement for women and girls – effectively removing them from public spaces.”

“By showcasing scenic landscapes and hospitality toward foreign visitors, especially influencers, they aim to create a narrative of stability and openness,” said Bakhtari.
Bakhtari noted she’s seen a growing disconnect in global travel culture when it comes to adventure tourism.
“The thrill of visiting the ‘forbidden’ or ‘untouched’ often outweighs concern for human rights … [It] becomes a form of voyeurism, one that prioritizes personal experience over the realities of those who live under oppression.”

Kelley Currie, former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Economic and Social Council, discussed the danger of visiting Afghanistan, saying Americans should “buy travel insurance.”
The United States is “unable to provide consular services if something happens, especially if they are kidnapped and sold or given to other extremist groups,” Currie told Fox News Digital.

Adam Duckworth, Travelmation’s president and founder, told Fox News Digital that travel companies take State Department advisories “very seriously.”
“If you are considering travel to a location in the higher levels, then do your research to understand why those places are on those lists,” said Duckworth.

Think of Bluetooth trackers and safety in the past few years and your first thought might be the misuse of Apple AirTags and similar devices against women in domestic abuse and stalking cases.
Alongside collaborative initiatives to counter and shut down these malicious uses (such as the IETF’s Detection of Unwanted Location Trackers, or DULT, standard), tracker makers themselves are flipping the script, turning tech that has been used to monitor women against their will into tech that protects them.
In mid-July, Seattle-based Pebblebee announced a new, free SOS safety feature, named Alert, for its $35 Clip Bluetooth tracker which, like the rest of its Universal line-up, can be set up with either Apple’s Find My or Google’s Find Hub networks, is made from around 30 percent recycled plastic and runs on a rechargeable battery, with 12+ months between USB-C charges.
When multi-pressed (six-plus presses), the Clip can trigger a siren alarm, flashing LED lights and automatically send an SMS text notification to one “Safety Circle” contact that you’ve pre-saved in the Pebblebee app.

It’s simple to set up the contact in the app, and a long press on the device shuts off the siren and LEDs, though it’s unlikely you’ll fumble or accidentally set this one off. The Clip’s siren isn’t as loud and the lights don’t cover as much radius as a dedicated personal alarm would, but they’re enough to alert passersby when out walking at night. Plus, the Pebblebee website states: “The Alert functionality including the siren, strobe, and first Safety Circle contact is and will always be completely free.”
We tested out the SOS system and it worked without a hiccup. Our Safety Circle buddy received a text saying: “URGENT: Sophie activated a Pebblebee Alert. Please check in immediately” with a link to the correct location via Google Maps. Clicking the “Mark as safe” button in the app and/or long-pressing on the Clip sends a follow-up text to say “Sophie cancelled their Pebblebee Alert” with the last location link.
Now, however, Pebblebee is adding a paid-for subscription option, named Alert Live, which offers a Safety Circle of up to five contacts to receive the SOS text notification when triggered via the Clip, plus live location tracking for these contacts, for $3 a month or $26 a year. There’s also a new Silent Mode, which sends the alert without the siren and LEDs, for both free and paid-for users: useful, though we haven’t had the chance to test this or the new real-time location sharing out yet.
POKUŠAVATE li sniziti kolesterol i ojačati srce bez teretane? Dobra je vijest da za to ne trebate naporne treninge. Svakodnevna šetnja jednostavna je i svima dostupna navika koja može pomoći u snižavanju triglicerida, LDL-a (“lošeg”) i povećanju HDL-a (“dobrog”) kolesterola. Time dugoročno štiti srce i krvne žile.
Kardiolog dr. Bradley Serwer objašnjava: “Visok kolesterol glavni je promjenjivi rizik za koronarnu bolest srca. Kontrolom kolesterola možemo izbjeći ili barem smanjiti rizik od srčanog i moždanog udara te bolesti krvnih žila.”
Kako šetnja djeluje na kolesterol
Redovito hodanje pomaže u snižavanju LDL-a, masnoće koja se nakuplja u arterijama i povećava rizik od stvaranja plaka. Dr. Alan Rozanski naglašava da je upravo povišeni LDL povezan s infarktom i moždanim udarom.
Istovremeno, šetnja povećava razinu HDL-a, kolesterola koji čisti krvne žile i štiti od upala i ugrušaka. Osim toga, koristi i u smanjenju triglicerida, masti koje mišići troše kao gorivo tijekom kretanja.
Utjecaj na težinu i stvaranje zdravih navika
Hodanje sagorijeva kalorije, ubrzava metabolizam i pomaže u održavanju mišićne mase. Višak kilograma, posebno oko struka, često je povezan s višim razinama “lošeg” kolesterola. Uvođenjem šetnje u svakodnevicu činimo važan korak u kontroli težine i zaštiti srca.
Uz to, šetnja često potiče i druge dobre navike. Ljudi se nakon kretanja osjećaju bolje, što može dovesti do zdravije prehrane i aktivnijeg načina života.

Koliko hodanja je dovoljno?
Stručnjaci preporučuju barem 150 minuta umjerenog hodanja tjedno – to znači pola sata dnevno, pet dana u tjednu. Najbolji učinak postiže se brzim hodom od 4.8 do 6.4 kilometra na sat. Još bolje rezultate donosi 300 minuta tjedno.
Za one koji ne vježbaju, to može zvučati puno. No dr. Rozanski ističe: “Čak i kratke šetnje od pet minuta mogu donijeti korist.” Tempo možete pojačati hodanjem uzbrdo, bržim hodom ili kombiniranjem sporijih i bržih intervala.
Kako šetnje učiniti učinkovitijima
Iako je hodanje jednostavno, nekoliko trikova može ga učiniti još zdravijim:
prošećite 10-15 minuta nakon obroka radi bolje probave i regulacije šećera i masti u krvi,
ubacite uspone ili koristite lagane utege za dodatni izazov,
pratite korake aplikacijom ili pedometrom – cilj od 10.000 koraka dnevno mnogima je ostvariv,
kombinirajte hodanje s prehranom koja snižava kolesterol, primjerice zobenom kašom ili orašastim plodovima.
Hodanje je jedan od najlakših i najpristupačnijih načina da očuvamo zdravlje srca. Ne treba posebnu opremu, a uklapa se u svakodnevnicu. Dovoljno je obuti cipele i krenuti.
Počnite malim koracima, deset minuta dnevno. jer i to dugoročno donosi velike promjene. Nije važno koliko brzo hodate, važno je da se krećete. Prvi korak koji napravite danas može vašem srcu donijeti veliku korist sutra.

MNOGI vole gledati ptice kako prave gnijezda u svojim dvorištima, ali Kristin Merron nije bila oduševljena kada je par grlica odlučio sviti gnijezdo ispod njezine natkrivene terase. Pokušala ih je nježno otjerati, no plan joj je propao.
Ptice su uporno boravile na terasi, a Kristin se nadala da će potražiti prikladnije mjesto. Kako bi ih obeshrabrila, na stup gdje su pokušavale graditi gnijezdo stavila je par suprugovih cipela. No, grlice su cipele doživjele kao idealan temelj i u njima započele gradnju.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Snimka na Instagramu je ubrzo postala viralna. Gledatelji su s oduševljenjem pratili kako ptice koriste cipele kao dio svog gnijezda, umjesto da ih shvate kao prepreku. Mnogi su komentirali kako bi bili presretni da se nešto slično dogodi i u njihovom dvorištu.
Podijeljene reakcije na internetu
Iako su tisuće ljudi ostavile pozitivne komentare, nisu svi bili oduševljeni. Najčešće se ponavljalo pitanje: zašto bi itko tjerao ptice koje žele sviti gnijezdo? Jedan korisnik, čiji je komentar prikupio više od 8000 lajkova, napisao je: “Tko na svijetu pokušava odvratiti ptice od gniježđenja?”
No, drugi su istaknuli i praktične razloge. Jedan komentator je upozorio da ptice u dvorištu mogu privući parazite, širiti bakterije, ostavljati izmet te biti glasne i plašljive. Zaključio je da je za ptice uvijek bolje gnijezditi se u prirodnom staništu.

Former Chief Executive Officer of Twitter (now known as X), Parag Agrawal, in a social media post announced that he has launched a new artificial intelligence (AI) venture named ‘Deep Research API’ in efforts to take over ChatGPT in the world AI development race.
In the post, Agrawal said that the first goal of the venture is to ‘outperform’ both humans and all leading models including GPT-5 from Open AI. He also called the target two of the hardest benchmarks to beat in the industry.
“We launched our Deep Research API – it’s the first to outperform both humans and all leading models including GPT-5 on two of the hardest benchmarks,” said Agrawal in his post on LinkedIn.
Parag Agrawal’s AI footsteps
The former Twitter boss also highlighted that his company is already powering millions of research tasks on a daily basis for ambitious startups and public enterprise companies.
Parag Agrawal is the founder of the AI startup, Parallel Web Systems Inc., which is based in Palo Alto, California, United States. He said that the company offers automation facilities which companies use to carry out traditionally-human workflows with ‘exceeding human-level accuracy.
“We already power millions of research tasks every day, across ambitious startups and public enterprises,” said Agrawal in his post.
Who is Parag Agrawal?
Parag Agrawal is well-known in the industry for serving as the CEO of the social media giant, Twitter. Elon Musk fired Agrawal after taking over the company in 2022.
Agrawal started out his career as a Researcher at Microsoft in 2006, and after a few months, he shifted to the same position at Yahoo. In 2009, he again returned to Microsoft Corp.; however, after a brief run with the company, he joined the US-based telecom giant, AT&T.
In October 2011, Agrawal finally joined Twitter as a Distinguished Software Engineer and after serving for over six years, he became the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of the global giant.
After spending over four years as the company’s CTO, Parag Agrawal was promoted to the CEO role in November 2021.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Parag Agrawal was from the Atomic Energy Central School in India, and later finished his graduation from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay with a Bachelor’s in Technology in Computer Science and Engineering.
Agrawal in 2005 finished his Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Computer Science from the Stanford University in United States.
Denzel Washington has made it clear he isn’t losing sleep over cancel culture.
While promoting his upcoming film Highest 2 Lowestalongside director Spike Lee, Washington was asked by Complex News if he ever worries about being “cancelled.” The two-time Oscar winner paused and asked, “What does that mean — to be cancelled?”
When the interviewer, Jillian Hardeman-Webb, explained that it meant losing public support, Washington quickly shot back, “Who cares? What made public support so important to begin with?”
Hardeman-Webb noted that “followers now are currency”, prompting Washington to deliver a firm response: “I don’t care who’s following whom. You can’t lead and follow at the same time, and you can’t follow and lead at the same time. I don’t follow anybody. I follow the heavenly spirit. I follow God; I don’t follow man. I have faith in God. I have hope in man, but look around; it isn’t working out so well.”
He went on to add, “You can’t be cancelled if you haven’t signed up. Don’t sign up.” Stretching his arms out and laughing, Washington joked to Lee, “Don’t get me started. You know, my chest is getting tight talking about it.”
Washington has long expressed a similar disregard for public validation. In an earlier interview with journalist Jake Hamilton on Jake’s Takes, he said he doesn’t act for awards. “I don’t do it for the Oscars. I really don’t care about that kind of stuff,” he admitted.
Reflecting on his decades-long career, he added, “There are times when I’ve won, shouldn’t have won, didn’t win, and should have won. Man gives the award. God gives the reward. I’m not that interested in the Oscars. People say, ‘Well, where do you keep it?’ I say, ‘Next to the other one.’”
Washington concluded, “I’m not bragging. I’m just telling you how I feel about it. On my last day, it isn’t going to do me a bit of good.”
Mr. Sajjan Jindal, Chairman of JSW Group, and Mr. Parth Jindal, Managing Director of JSW Cement Ltd., at the bell-ringing ceremony of JSW Cement held at NSE, marking the successful IPO listing of the company on the Indian bourses
JSW Cement Limited made its stock market debut today, listing at ₹153.50 on NSE and ₹153.00 on BSE, marking approximately a 4 per cent premium to its IPO price of ₹147. However, the stock closed at ₹146.00 on NSE, down 4.89 per cent from its opening price and 0.68 per cent below the issue price.
The listing comes after the company’s ₹3,600 crore IPO received strong institutional demand, with overall subscription reaching 7.77 times. Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs) led the charge with 15.8 times subscription, while High Net Worth Individuals subscribed 10.97 times their allocated quota. Retail participation remained relatively subdued at 1.81 times subscription.
“JSW Cement made a steady market debut today… The modest yet positive opening reflects balanced investor sentiment, underpinned by the company’s robust fundamentals and the JSW Group’s strong brand positioning,” said Sourav Choudhary, MD, Raghunath Capital. He expects the stock to consolidate in the ₹145–₹160 range in the short term, with upside capped until performance triggers emerge.
However, market sentiment appears cautious post-listing. “The stock slipped below its issue price, indicating that the IPO may already be fully valued. While short-term gains appear limited, the company has established itself as one of India’s fastest-growing and most sustainability-focused cement producers,” noted Gaurav Garg from Lemonn Markets Desk.
At the listing ceremony, JSW Group Chairman Sajjan Jindal expressed confidence in the leadership team, stating: “I’m sure that under Parth’s leadership, JSW Cement will do very well. And we are going to see a great future for India. It’s one of the largest, fastest growing large economies in the world. India needs aggressive companies, for its growth. I hope that’s what JSW will do that. “
Managing Director Parth Jindal expressed readiness for future group IPOs, saying: “Now I’m fully trained, I’m fully ready, and geared up to take all of the other JSW companies public as well. So it’s been three months on the road, telling everyone the story about JSW Cement. We’ve just begun, and I hope that we can create value for all our minority shareholders and take this company to its rightful place and be a big part of the future growth story of the JSW Group. “
The IPO comprised a mix of fresh issue worth ₹1,600 crore and offer for sale of ₹2,000 crore. The fresh capital will fund a new integrated cement unit in Nagaur, Rajasthan (₹800 crore), debt repayment (₹520 crore), and general corporate purposes.
JSW Cement CEO Nilesh Narwekar emphasized the company’s commitment to stakeholders, stating: “Today, we go public with a very simple promise, to stay true to our values, deliver for our stakeholders, keep building a company that makes a difference.”
At current prices, JSW Cement commands a post-issue market cap of approximately ₹20,179 crore, translating to roughly 36.7x EV/EBITDA on FY25 annualized basis. The company has established itself among India’s top 10 cement producers and is the nation’s largest Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) producer.
“JSW Cement made its market debut at ₹153.50, about 4 per cent above its issue price, marking a flat listing,” observed Shivani Nyati, Head of Wealth at Swastika Investmart. She cautioned that being in a growth phase, “the company’s high valuation and current losses could lead to short-term volatility in returns.”
The trading session showed mixed investor sentiment with a traded volume of 932.94 lakh shares and traded value of ₹1,406.78 crore. The deliverable quantity stood at 54.13 per cent of total traded volume.
NSE Managing Director Ashish Kumar Chauhan welcomed JSW Cement as the exchange’s 2,812th listed company, highlighting NSE’s role in facilitating record IPO fundraising of ₹1.7 lakh crore in FY25.
For investors, analysts recommend different strategies based on investment horizon. Choudhary suggests “accumulating on dips towards ₹145–₹148 for a structural portfolio play,” while Nyati advises listing gain seekers to “maintain a stop loss at ₹138 and wait for potential upside.”
The cement sector outlook remains positive given India’s infrastructure development needs, though near-term performance will depend on capacity utilization and market conditions.
Casey Elsass grew up in New England and frequented a farm in rural New Hampshire for hayrides and what he calls the best apple cake he’s ever had. He shares a recipe for his easy apple cake in his new cookbook, “What Can I Bring?”
“The batter is what you’d expect, with diced apples, sour cream and cinnamon, plus a crunchy topping of chopped walnuts and brown sugar,” writes Elsass. “But the curveball here is apple cider vinegar, which not only adds a ton of great apple flavor, but also gives the cake a lofty, fluffy lift.”
Note: Leftover cake can be covered and left at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.

“Queen Elizabeth II’s fashion archive is one of the largest and most important surviving collections of 20th-century British fashion.”
Some standouts will include her 1947 wedding dress and her 1953 coronation dress, as well as earlier pieces from her teenage years and childhood.

“On show for the first time will be one of the earliest surviving pieces of couture from her childhood wardrobe: the silver lamé and tulle bridesmaid dress, designed by Edward Molyneux, that she wore [at] aged eight for the 1934 wedding of her uncle, the Duke of Kent, to Princess Marina of Greece,” the press release said.

Visitors will even be able to see original design sketches and fabric samples – plus handwritten correspondence showing the queen’s involvement in the creation of her wardrobe.

“From impeccably cut riding jackets to tartan skirts and silk headscarves, visitors will see never-before-displayed examples of her practical everyday style, which continues to inspire contemporary designers to this day,” the release added.

In a statement, exhibition curator Caroline de Guitaut called Elizabeth’s style “instantly recognizable across the world.”
“Only now, as the late queen’s fashion archive comes under the care of Royal Collection Trust, can we tell the story of a lifetime of thoughtful style choices – from her hands-on role and understanding of the soft power behind her clothing, to the exceptional craftsmanship behind each garment,” she added.

“In the year that she would have turned 100 years old, this exhibition will be a celebration of Queen Elizabeth’s uniquely British style and her enduring fashion legacy.”
We tested each posture corrector, wearing them through the routines of daily life—from sitting at a desk to running errands and working out—for both short and long periods, over several months. No one wants to feel like they’re strapped into armor, so we evaluated wearability by focusing on comfort, breathable materials, and adjustability. Material quality was a priority, and we kept an eye out for signs of wear or damage after consistent use. Size inclusivity was another major factor; we sought options that catered to a range of body types. To ensure accessibility, we also made sure to test different types of posture correctors, from traditional braces to supportive bras and tech-enhanced wearables. Since there isn’t much clinical data comparing these gadgets, we learned by firsthand experience: Did we personally feel a noticeable difference in our posture?
More Accessories to Try

Branch Adjustable Laptop Stand for $65: If you work at a desk, a simple change is to set it up to be as ergonomic as possible. This laptop stand from Branch is our favorite. It’s easily adjustable in height and angle, and super sturdy. If you can also add a monitor with a separate keyboard and mouse, you can be even more comfortable sitting upright. If you have a bigger budget, consider a standing desk and a great desk chair—we’ve tested several in our Best Home Office Gear guide.
Gaiam Yoga Strap for $10: If you already own a long yoga strap, you can easily make your own shoulder strap posture brace for temporary use—a yoga teacher recommended this to me for use during a class. Everyday Yoga also sells some affordable options, but all of them work basically the same. According to yoga teacher Kathryn Budig: Wrap the strap around your back, right around the base of your shoulder blade or bra line, and pull the excess out evenly in front of you. Bring each end over your shoulders and crisscross them behind you, making an X shape on your back. Bring the straps around to the front, pulling your shoulders back, and buckle it in the front. The length of the strap you’ll need depends on your body, including shoulder and chest size, but we recommend at least 10 feet. Anything smaller will likely be more painful than helpful.
Final Tips and Advice
Try yoga and other exercises. A sedentary lifestyle is a one-way ticket to bad posture. Yoga, in particular, has been touted as a means to better posture. When I’m consistent with my practice, I notice I sit and stand taller outside of the studio, almost instinctively. If you’re not into yoga, core-strengthening exercises like planks and chest presses are also an option. Alternatively, just incorporating morning stretches into your routine will work wonders.
Seek a medical professional. A doctor, physical therapist, or chiropractor can help you find a corrector that supports your body’s problem areas‚ or steer you toward an alternative solution that does. Also, if you have severe neck or lower back pain, kyphosis, or scoliosis, always consult a healthcare professional before trying any at-home remedies.
Frequently Asked Questions
Your spine naturally has three curves: at your neck (cervical spine), mid-back (thoracic spine), and lower back (lumbar spine). Proper alignment shouldn’t add extra curvature to any of these sections. Here are some general guidelines:
Your head should be above your shoulders, and the top of your shoulders should be above your hips. If you’re standing, keep your feet hip-distance apart. Most of your weight should be on the balls of your feet.
If you’re sitting, keep your feet flat on the floor, knees bent at 90 degrees, and your ankles separated. If you can’t reach the floor, a footrest can help.
The writers at the Natural Posture explain that poor posture—sitting with your shoulders forward—causes the soft muscles in your chest to get tight, which in turn makes it feel uncomfortable to sit up straight. Bad posture isn’t just about slouching. Poor alignment can also come from genetics, injuries, or repetitive movements. “A wrong posture is anything for too long,” according to Smith.
We slouch over screens, lug totes on one dominant shoulder, and lean on one hip while standing. Your workstation setup often hinders your posture, and how you sit matters too. Are your feet flat on the ground, with your knees and hips at a 90-degree angle? Or are you, like me, guilty of tucking one leg under the other? Over time, these habits throw your body out of balance. Here are some tips on how to set up your desk ergonomically for working or gaming.
How do posture correctors work?
Posture correctors aren’t a one-size-fits-all cure for slouching or hunched backs. Think of them as little gentle wake-up calls for your muscles—the ones that have been slacking off while you hunch over your laptop. These tools come in all shapes and designs, but the best ones address the muscle imbalances created by our everyday habits. They’re not supposed to hold you in place (and if they do, that’s a red flag). Overly rigid correctors can actually weaken your muscles by doing all the work for you.
Instead, posture correctors are more like training wheels. They guide your body toward better alignment and then let your muscles take over. “I would compare it to when you were a kid and your mom poked you to sit up straight at the dinner table,” says physician Matthew Smith. “The goal is not to wear this forever. The goal is to be able to change your posture on your own from here on out.”
Are posture correctors safe to use daily?
Yes(ish), but not all day, and you wouldn’t want to. Posture correctors are designed for short-term use. Wearing one all day can backfire by weakening your core and making your body reliant on an external crutch. “I would only pop it on for a few minutes here and there as a reminder,” Smith recommends.
Some posture-correcting bras and wearable devices are gentler, making them better suited for longer periods, but these are often the exception. To be safe, refer to the specific product’s instructions. I’ve found them helpful in short bursts—like when I’m at my desk or cooking dinner. As Smith puts it: “We’re just trying to remind ourselves to come back and fight against gravity.”

DIJETETIČARI smatraju da je ugljikohidratima potrebno svojevrsno “rebrendiranje”, osobito kada je riječ o gubitku kilograma. “Ugljikohidrati se često doživljavaju kao neprijatelji, ali oni igraju ključnu ulogu u zdravoj i uravnoteženoj prehrani, čak i kada je cilj mršavljenje”, ističe dijetetičarka Jacqueline Gomes, piše Parade.
Jedan od njezinih kolega, Chris Mohr, savjetnik za prehranu i fitness tvrdi da su ugljikohidrati ključni, pogotovo ako želite smršavjeti. “Ugljikohidrati su glavni izvor energije za tijelo. Preveliko smanjenje njihova unosa može vas ostaviti umornima, neraspoloženima i sklonijima prejedanju kasnije tijekom dana.”
Kada je najbolje jesti ugljikohidrate?
Dijetetičari preporučuju konzumaciju ugljikohidrata nakon treninga, idealno unutar 30 minuta. “Ugljikohidrati su primarni izvor goriva za tijelo, a mišići trebaju tu energiju kako bi pomogli prije i poslije vježbanja”, ističe dijetetičarka Amanda Sauceda. “Kada vježbate, tijelo se oslanja na ugljikohidrate pohranjene u mišićima, poznate kao glikogen, kako bi vam osiguralo energiju za trening”, dodaje.
S time se slaže i dr. Mohr, dodajući da je nakon treninga “tijelo spremno iskoristiti ugljikohidrate za nadopunu zaliha glikogena, a ne za pohranu u obliku masnoće”. Tako tijelo učinkovito koristi ugljikohidrate, smanjujući vjerojatnost pojave bolova u mišićima ili debljanja.

Obnavljanje razine mišićnoga glikogena nakon vježbanja pomaže u oporavku mišića. “To smanjuje bol i priprema tijelo za buduće treninge”, ističe dijetetičarka Lena Bakovic. Dodaje da “unos ugljikohidrata nakon vježbanja može pomoći u stabilizaciji razine šećera u krvi i poboljšanju raspoloženja. Kada se konzumiraju umjereno, ugljikohidrati nakon treninga mogu suzbiti prekomjernu glad, olakšavajući pridržavanje zdravih prehrambenih navika i postizanje održivoga gubitka težine.”
Koja vrsta ugljikohidrata je najbolja?
Možda će vas iznenaditi, ali nakon treninga nije loše posegnuti za brže probavljivim ugljikohidratima. “Nakon treninga, u redu je uključiti ugljikohidrate koji se brže probavljaju poput bijele riže, zobi ili voća jer tijelo želi brzo apsorbirati hranjive tvari”, kaže dr. Mohr. “Cjelovite žitarice, voće i škrobno povrće bolji su izbor tijekom ostatka dana. Oni vam daju vlakna, vitamine i stabilniju energiju.”
Bakovic napominje da je ključno prilagoditi unos ugljikohidrata odrađenome treningu. “Idealan unos ovisi o intenzitetu treninga, trajanju i individualnim potrebama”, kaže ona. “Uobičajena smjernica je oko 0,5 do jednog grama ugljikohidrata po kilogramu tjelesne težine unutar 30 do 60 minuta nakon treninga.”

Za Sida su napisali da se dobro slaže i s drugim psima, a posebno voli provoditi vrijeme u vodi. “Najviše uživa kada mu se napuni bazenčić u kojem se može opustiti i uživati do mile volje”, napisali su u objavi iz Dumovca.
Dodali su da lijepo šeće na povodcu te je uvijek spreman pratiti čuvara u laganoj šetnji, ali voli i dulje izlete u prirodi. Sid je pas stvoren za istraživanja i pustolovine, a jedino što mu nedostaje jest njegov čovjek. Ako ga želite upoznati, najavite se Dumovcu putem e-adrese [email protected].

LJUBITELJI retro estetike 70-ih mogli bi doći na svoje s novom jesenskom kolekcijom H&M Homea. Prema brendu, jesenski interijer najbolje se prepoznaje po toplim nijansama, bogatim teksturama i detaljima koji prizivaju duh vremena od prije 50-ak godina.
Kolekcija donosi detalje poput svijeća, vaza, tepiha, deka i zdjela, oblikovane prema dizajnerskim trendovima iz tog razdoblja. Primjerice, tu su jastuci u čokoladno smeđoj boji s resama na rubovima, kromirani svijećnjaci za tanke svijeće s postoljima u organskim oblicima i staklene vaze u toplim jantarno-narančastim tonovima.
Topla paleta boja i bogati materijali
Topla paleta boja i bogati materijali kolekciji daju vintage ugođaj, dok minimalističke siluete i organski oblici unose dozu moderne elegancije. Rezultat je šik jesenski interijer koji spaja najbolje od oba svijeta – retro šarm i suvremeni dizajn.
Svaki predmet iz kolekcije može funkcionirati samostalno kao stilski detalj u domu, a nekoliko njih u kombinaciji donosi skladan retro ugođaj i toplinu prostora. Ako želite unijeti toplinu i malo retro glamura u svoj dom, sada je idealna prilika. U nastavku donosimo favorite iz kolekcije.

Artificial Intelligence chatbots have seriously taken off since ChatGPT became a viral sensation back in late 2022. While ChatGPT remains the most popular chatbot on the market, Google’s Gemini AI has caught up with some great new model launches in the last few months. What also helps Gemini’s case is that the chatbot is present across a number of Google services including Gmail and Calendar, making for easier integration.
Why is Google training Gemini on your conversations?
Google by default uses your conversations with Gemini to train its upcoming AI models. Notably, large language models (LLMs) like Gemini are trained on massive datasets in order to learn patterns in language, reasoning and context. In one sense, modern LLMs are essentially pattern recognisers and while publicly available datasets can help the model learn some useful patterns, they are not enough for the model to handle natural queries better.
By training on user interactions, LLMs like Gemini understand what queries users ask most and how the model could adapt to deliver more useful content.
With users increasingly going to chatbots to ask questions about everything in their lives, from simple tax troubles to past emotional traumas, the thought of Google having access to this data for training its new AI model could be unsettling. But if you want to revoke Google’s access to train its AI model on your conversations, there’s a quick fix for that.
How to stop Gemini from training on your personal conversations?
In order to stop Gemini from training on your personal conversations, you’ll need to turn off the ‘Gemini Apps Activity’ option by going to the settings page on the website or iOS/Android app. Google is soon going to change the name of this setting to “Keep activity” after a new update, but the process to turn it off will remain the same.
Stopping Gemini Activity on Desktop:
– Visit Gemini.Google.com on your browser and sign in to your Google account
– Click on the three-bar menu on the left-hand side of the page and tap on Settings and help
– Tap on Activity and you will be taken to a new settings page
– Click on the Turn off option next to Gemini activity to stop the chatbot from training on your conversations
– For even more privacy, you can delete past Gemini activity to remove data the chatbot collected before you disabled the feature
– Google will continue to store your Gemini activity for 72 hours before deleting it from its servers. Moreover, if you have multiple Google accounts from which you use Gemini, make sure to repeat the process for each one in order to stop Gemini from training on your conversations.
Stopping Gemini Activity on Mobile:
– Open the Gemini app on your phone
– Tap on the accounts option in the top-right corner and click on Gemini apps activity
– Follow the same process to turn off Gemini app activity and delete previous activity if needed
