Amazon is reportedly winding down its artificial intelligence research lab in Shanghai, marking a significant shift in the tech giant’s strategic direction in China. The lab, established in 2018 by Amazon Web Services (AWS), has been central to the company’s AI research efforts in the region, but now faces closure as part of a broader restructuring, according to a report by theFinancial Times.
The move follows recent job cuts across AWS, with Amazon last week confirming that it had reduced hundreds of roles globally. While the company did not directly address the closure of the Shanghai lab, a spokesperson reiterated that some positions were being eliminated across AWS. The spokesperson declined to comment specifically on the FT report.
Amazon maintained that the recent layoffs arenot primarily driven by the company’s increasing reliance on generative AI tools, a statement that appears to contrast with CEO Andy Jassy’s previous warning of potential workforce reductions linked to the growing adoption of AI technologies.
According to theFinancial Times, Wang Minjie, a scientist formerly based at the Shanghai AI lab, suggested in a WeChat post that the team was “being dissolved due to strategic adjustments amid US-China tensions.” While the exact number of staff affected remains unclear, the decision underscores the mounting operational challenges faced by American tech firms in China.
The development comes at a time of heightened scrutiny from Washington on US businesses operating in China, as geopolitical friction between the two global powers continues to escalate. These tensions, coupled with tighter regulatory oversight, appear to be influencing strategic decisions by multinational corporations.
Amazon has yet to publicly confirm the closure of the Shanghai lab or provide further details regarding its future presence in China.
By the close of March, Amazon was said to be the second-biggest private employer in the United States, trailing only Walmart Inc. The company’s total headcount stood at approximately 1.56 million. While most of these roles involve warehouse operations such as packing and logistics, more than 350,000 employees are in corporate roles.
NEW DELHI: Oscar-winning composer A R Rahman, who currently in the US for his Wonderment Tour, cheekily referenced the Coldplay ‘kiss cam’ controversy during a performance at the Tacoma Dome when the cameras panned towards the audience.
“I won’t get you into trouble.Don’t worry,” the 58-year-old said as concert goers erupted into laughter.
Rahman was referencing the viral incident last week when Coldplay concert cameras caught a company’s CEO and HR ducking when they appeared on the ‘kiss cam’, leading to a memefest on social media.
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin can be heard saying, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”
Rahman is currently on his Wonderment Tour across North America, performing in major cities in the US and Canada.
The composer is set to take the tour to the UK, after which he will return to India in November.
The tour focuses on Rahman’s music through the decades.
Blocks deals worth $371 million were seen in the stocks of two real estate companies — Oberoi Realty and Lodha Developers.
The seller in the two blocks was the same investor, Invesco Developing Markets Fund.
Exchange filing showed that Invesco sold around 1.1 crore shares of Oberoi Realty or 3 per cent of its equity at ₹1,754.26 per share for a total amount of ₹1,883.2 crore ($218 million). One of the buyers was SBI Mutual Fund that picked up 40.94 lakh shares at ₹1,754.10 each for ₹718 crore.
Invesco has exited its entire investment of 3 per cent stake in the company it held at June-end.
The names of the rest of the buyers were not disclosed.
In Lodha Developers, Invesco sold around 95.3 lakh shares or just about 1 per cent of its equity at ₹1,384.93 per share for a total amount of ₹1,319.8 crore ($152.8 million). Invesco has exited the company through this block.
The names of the buyers was not disclosed, but sources said that a number of domestic funds as well as overseas funds had been buyers in the shares of Lodha as well as Oberoi Realty.
Mixed performance
Shares of real estate companies have been mixed this year and while there have been spikes, there have also been steep falls.
A quick look at the charts show that Oberoi Realty shares have fallen from ₹2,300-levels at the start of the year to lower than ₹1,800 now.
Shares of Lodha are almost back at the levels they were at the beginning of 2025.

As airplane seat-swapping stories continue to spread across social media platforms, one traveler who fell victim to the situation was able to make some money from the practice.
Writing in the “r/delta” forum, a flight passenger shared how he or she (gender wasn’t specified) was offered $100 to switch to a middle row seat on a flight from Tampa, Florida, to New York City.
“So I normally select an aisle seat,” the person wrote. “This guy who was 2 rows ahead of me had a middle seat. His girlfriend was assigned the middle seat next to me. He said he tried to get a different seat at check in, but was unable to.”
FLIGHT ATTENDANT DEMANDS PASSENGER SPIT OUT ZYN, LEAVING TRAVELERS CONFUSED ABOUT POLICIES
The flyer added, “He then offered me $100 (all $20 dollar bills) to switch seats with him. For a flight that is normally two-and-a-half hours and to sit in a middle seat for $100.00 — I said sure, I will take it.”
The person concluded, “If someone got cash money, depending on the flight, I can take it.”
A Reddit user (not pictured) described receiving $100 in cash to trade an aisle seat for a middle seat on a short flight. (iStock)
Redditors took to the comments section to discuss if they would take the money — and wound up sharing their own seat-squatter encounters.
“This is the way to seat swap,” said one user.
Another person commented, “At least he offered you something instead of the usual guilt trip.”

Yet another user said, “Since the airlines value all seats differently, no reason passengers should be any different. A willing buyer and seller completed a transaction that benefited both.”
One Redditor wrote, “Same thing happened to me. Some lady offered me $100 so she could sit next to her husband. But he had already paid me $150 not to move.”

“I likely would [have] told him to keep the cash and still would have swapped because that’s such a bro move and how it should be done,” said one person.
Another user commented, “I would never, ever book a middle seat to save $100, but I would gladly sit in the middle seat for two hours or under if someone gave me cash in hand.”
Said one person, “I would never do this, but I’m tall and not slim, so middle seats are torture for me.”

A Redditor wrote, “This is the way to ask someone to swap seats. Cash in hand.”
Said still another person, “This is the acceptable way of making such a request. Negotiating with such a person is reasonable as well. Offering zero value like most people do is disgusting.”
“If you don’t have something compelling to offer, why not offer cash, a gift card, or something else that the other passenger might value?” (iStock)
Gary Leff, a Texas-based travel industry expert and author of the blog “View From the Wing,” told Fox News Digital that for passengers looking to trade seats, it’s best to offer something and have a good reason.
“Don’t try to trade your middle seat in the back for someone’s extra legroom aisle,” he said. “And if you offer a reason why you’re asking (it doesn’t even have to be a good reason), other flyers will be more likely to oblige.”

Added Leff, “If you don’t have something compelling to offer, why not offer cash, a gift card, or something else that the other passenger might value? It’s especially nice to show your appreciation when they’re giving up something for you.”
He added, “The airline charges for seat assignments. Why shouldn’t other passengers?”

Leff said that from his point of view, travelers who want to swap a seat would be less disappointed in their requests if they gave passengers something in return.

Once upon a time, if you wanted to play Neo Geo games, it took serious financial investment. The original Neo Geo AES (Advanced Entertainment System) home console launched at $650 in 1991, equivalent to about $1,535 in 2025. Games would sell for around $200, around $472 today.
The hook, for an emerging underground of gamers, was that the AES was identical at a hardware level to manufacturer SNK’s MVS (Multi Video System) coin-op cabinets, meaning games played at home were indistinguishable from those played in arcades. If you wanted that authentic experience, you quite literally paid the price.
How times have changed. Now you can get some of the greatest Neo Geo games of all time for pocket money. The Super Pocket Neo Geo Edition packs in 14 titles, built into an ultra-portable handheld console, for less than the price of one contemporary “triple A” game. It’s a delight for nostalgic players or those who want to experience some true gaming classics, but there are several compromises to swallow before you can enjoy it.
Pocketable Fun

The Neo Geo Edition is the latest entry in an ongoing line of Super Pocket handhelds, each focused on a classic developer or publisher’s titles, made by retro gaming specialist Blaze Entertainment. If that name rings a bell, that’s because it’s the same manufacturer behind the Evercade hardware system, which includes handhelds, home consoles, and mini arcade cabinets, all of which are linked by universal support for physical Evercade game cartridges.
Although released under Blaze’s “Hyper Mega Tech!” brand, the Super Pocket is also compatible with those carts, so at a glance it might appear to be yet another hardware variation, swapping the horizontal orientation of the Evercade EXP for a vertical, unabashedly Game Boy-inspired layout for maximum retro clout.
However, the Super Pocket is quite different to use. It’s even smaller than the Evercade handhelds, measuring 125 mm tall, 78 mm wide, and 25 mm thick—your phone is probably larger overall. That diminutive stature, combined with its vertical orientation, means it can feel too small in larger hands.
It’s surprisingly well-appointed with inputs, though, with a nicely responsive D-pad with clearly defined directions that ensure it feels fantastic under the thumb, four face buttons (A, B, X, Y), and L1/L2/R1/R2 “shoulder” buttons relocated to the rear. Those don’t come into play for the included Neo Geo games, but they ensure compatibility with games on other Evercade carts that might require them—although once again, the small size of the unit makes these relocated shoulder buttons a bit tricky to place your fingers on in a usable way.
VISOK krvni tlak (hipertenzija) pogađa velik broj ljudi, a mnogi ne znaju koliko prehrana utječe na njegovo snižavanje. Dok je važno redovito jesti više voća, povrća i nemasnih proteina, jednako je važno ograničiti hranu koja može štetiti zdravlju, često a da to i ne primijetimo.
Prema dijetetičarki Victoriji Taylor iz Britanske zaklade za srce, slane grickalice poput čipsa ubrajaju se među najštetnije namirnice. Ne morate ih potpuno izbaciti, ali važno je paziti na količinu. Čips i slična prerađena hrana često sadrže puno soli i nezdravih masnoća.
Sol se skriva u svakodnevnoj hrani
Osim čipsa, mnogo soli može se naći i u drugim namirnicama koje redovito jedemo. To su, primjerice, masline, gotovi umaci, kiseli krastavci, šunka, slanina, kruh i neke žitarice za doručak. Stručnjaci preporučuju da dnevno ne unosimo više od jedne čajne žličice soli (oko 6 grama), no većina ljudi tu količinu lako premaši.
Kako smanjiti unos soli, a zadržati dobar okus
Ako ne želite potpuno izbaciti omiljenu hranu, pokušajte pronaći varijante s manje soli ili ih pripremite kod kuće. Stručnjaci iz klinike Mayo savjetuju da uvijek čitate deklaracije na proizvodima i birate one bez dodane soli. Umjesto soljenja, koristite začinsko bilje, primjerice kad kuhate rižu ili tjesteninu. Rjeđe jedite izvan kuće i birajte svježe ili smrznuto povrće, nemasno meso i ribu bez kože. Hrana će možda u početku imati blaži okus, ali nepce će se s vremenom naviknuti.

Šećer, masnoće i alkohol
Masna i slatka hrana ne utječu izravno na povišenje tlaka, ali su bogate kalorijama. Ako ih previše konzumirate, možete se udebljati, a višak kilograma povećava rizik od hipertenzije. Alkohol također može povisiti tlak, pa se preporučuje ograničiti unos na najviše 14 standardnih pića tjedno.
Kretanje je najbolji saveznik zdravlja
Redovita tjelesna aktivnost važna je za snižavanje krvnog tlaka. Britansko dijetetičko udruženje preporučuje barem 150 minuta tjedno umjereno intenzivnih aktivnosti. Vježbanje čuva zdravlje srca i krvnih žila te pomaže u održavanju zdrave tjelesne težine. Ako imate problema sa srcem ili tek počinjete vježbati, svakako se prije savjetujte s liječnikom.
Kada biste trebali izmjeriti tlak?
Ako mislite da možda imate povišen tlak, pripadate rizičnoj skupini, stariji ste od 40 godina ili već pet godina niste mjerili tlak, vrijeme je da to učinite. Krvni tlak možete provjeriti kod svog liječnika obiteljske medicine ili u obližnjoj ljekarni.

DIRLJIVA snimka zlatne retriverice koja prvi put u životu trči po vlastitom dvorištu postala je viralna i raznježila stotine tisuća ljudi. Nakon što je cijeli život provela u stanu, preseljenje u kuću s dvorištem bio je ogroman događaj za retrivericu Sage i njezinu obitelj.
Korisnica TikToka @alaynaleahy podijelila je snimku uz emotivan opis: “Zanemarite moje suze, ovaj trenutak mi je rastopio srce. Dugo smo sanjali o ovom danu.” Njezin sadržaj brzo je postao viralan, prikupivši više od 650 tisuća pregleda i 149 tisuća lajkova.
Trenutak čiste sreće
Snimka prikazuje kako suprug vlasnice psa otvara vrata, a njihova zlatna retriverica zatim izlijeće van kako bi istražila novi teritorij. Nakon što je znatiželjno ponjušila terasu, Sage je potrčala niz stube u prostrano dvorište.

Dok je retriverica veselo jurcala po travi, vlasnici nisu mogli sakriti emocije. “Ovo je tvoje dvorište, dušo!” čuje se kako vlasnica govori. Retriverica je neprestano trčala od dvorišta do terase, kao da provjerava dijele li vlasnici njezinu sreću.
Internet je oduševljen

Mumbai, July 23: Indian skipper Shubman Gill is on the verge of unlocking the milestone of 6,000 international runs as the fourth Test against England at Manchester’s Old Trafford begins on Wednesday. Following a failure at Lord’s after his marathon knocks of 269 and 161 at Edgbaston, Gill would be aiming to continue his record-breaking ways in the series, which has witnessed him tearing into history books with each stroke like he never did. Shubman Gill Confirms Rishabh Pant Will Keep Wickets During IND vs ENG 4th Test 2025, Admits Old Trafford Pitch Would Have ‘Little Bit More for Bowlers’.
Despite a brief lull at Lord’s, Gill is still the highest run-getter in the series, with 607 runs in six innings at an average of 101.16 and an audacious strike rate of over 71, with three centuries to his name. His closest competitors, the wicketkeeping-batters Rishabh Pant (425 runs) and Jamie Smith (415 runs) are yet to touch even the 500-run mark in the series.
So far in his international career, Gill has scored 5,853 runs at an average of 46.45, with 17 centuries and 25 fifties to his name, with the best score of 269 in 141 innings. 107 more runs will take him to the 6,000-run mark. In 35 Tests so far, he has shown tons of promise and inconsistency alike, scoring 2,500 runs at an average of 41.66, with eight centuries and seven fifties in 65 innings, with a best score of 269.
In 55 ODIs, Gill has smashed 2,775 runs at an average of 59.04, striking at 99.56, with eight centuries and 15 fifties. His best score is 208. This is undoubtedly his best and most consistent format. In 21 T20Is, he has made 578 runs at an average of 30.42, with a century and three half-centuries to his name. His strike rate in this format is 139.27. ‘They Were 90 Seconds Late’ Shubman Gill Questions England’s ‘Spirit’ As He ‘Clarifies’ Air On Tension Between Two Sides Ahead of IND vs ENG 4th Test 2025 (Watch Video).
Gill is on the verge of breaking another record, currently owned by none other than his idol Virat Kohli, as 86 more runs will secure him the best performance by an Indian batter during a South Africa, England, New Zealand and South Africa (SENA) series. He will topple Virat’s 2014 tour of Australia, during which he made 692 runs in four Tests at an average of 86.50, with four centuries and a half-century in eight innings. Will Gill get back to his run-scoring ways again in Old Trafford?

China-based Alibaba deepened its presence in the artificial intelligence race as it announced on Wednesday the launch of an open-source AI coder.
In a statement on Wednesday, Alibaba announced the launch of Qwen3-Coder. This AI model is designed for high-performance software development, it said.
Alibaba touted Qwen-3 Coder as its most advanced AI coding model to date.
The model excels in agentic AI coding tasks, from generating new codes and managing complex coding workflows, according to the statement.
“We’re releasing Qwen3-Coder-480B-A35B-Instruct, our most powerful open agentic code model to date,” said a post on Qwen’s X account.
Qwen is the AI model made by Alibaba.
Here is all you need to know about Qwen-3 Coder
This Qwen3-Coder is a 480B-parametre Mixture-of-Experts model (35B active), Qwen said.
This AI model natively supports 256,000 context and scales to 1 million context with extrapolation, it said. While available in multiple sizes, Qwen introduced the ‘most powerful’ model yet.
“It achieves top-tier performance across multiple agentic coding benchmarks among open models, including SWE-bench-Verified,” said the X post.
“Alongside the model, we’re also open-sourcing a command-line tool for agentic coding: Qwen Code. Forked from Gemini Code, it includes custom prompts and function call protocols to fully unlock Qwen3-Coder’s capabilities. Qwen3-Coder works seamlessly with the community’s best developer tools. As a foundation model, we hope it can be used anywhere across the digital world — Agentic Coding in the World,” it added.
With Qwen3-Coder, the AI company is advancing along multiple dimensions to strengthen the model’s core capabilities, according to a blog post.
“We are still actively working to improve the performance of our Coding Agent, aiming for it to take on more complex and tedious tasks in software engineering, thereby freeing up human productivity,” Qwen said.
The company further teased more model sizes of Qwen3-Coder that will deliver strong performance while reducing deployment costs.
“Additionally, we are actively exploring whether the Coding Agent can achieve self-improvement—an exciting and inspiring direction,” it said.
Set in a high school, the series was about its student navigating a deadly virus outbreak, which turns people into zombies.
The second season will feature returning cast members, including Park Ji-hu, Yoon Chan-young, Cho Yi-hyun, and Lomon.
Additionally, new cast members joining this season are Lee Min-jae, Yoon Ga-i and “Squid Game” actors Kim Si-eun and Roh Jae-won, as the outbreak spreads to a new location and a new group of characters is forced into the fight, said a press release.
Netflix also shared the official logline for season two.
“After surviving the catastrophic zombie outbreak at Hyosan High, Nam On-jo, played by Park Ji-hu, is now a university student in Seoul, struggling to move on from the trauma and the friends she lost.
“But when a new wave of infection suddenly hits Seoul, she finds herself trapped in another deadly fight for survival this time without the people she once depended on,” it read.
The second season will be helmed by Lee JQ and Kim Nam-su, who also directed the first season.
It is written by Chun Sung-il of “King the Land” and “Your Honor” fame.
The company is pursuing a two-pronged strategy for growth: deepening relationships with existing clients through joint ventures (long-term) and focusing on tie-ups and partnerships with players across the component ecosystem to drive backward integration.

Shares of Dixon Technologies surged 3 per cent following 68.2 per cent y-o-y increase in consolidated net profit and a nearly 95 per cent jump in total income during the quarter ended June 2025.
Its consolidated net profit for the quarter under review stood at ₹224.97 crore as against ₹133.68 crore in the corresponding quarter previous year. The total income was recorded at ₹12,837.34 crore in June 2025 quarter as against ₹6,587.98 crore in the same quarter a year ago.
Brokerages were optimistic due to strong Q1 results, driven by the mobile and EMS (Electronics Manufacturing Services) segment. They flagged key risks such as lower-than-expected growth in the addressable market, loss of relationships with key clients, rising competition and limited bargaining power with clients, which could impact margins and overall profitability.
Domestic brokerage Motilal Oswal maintained buy and hiked the target price from ₹20,500 to ₹22,100, citing 37 per cent upward potential. It has also raised FY27 estimates by 10 per cent to factor in higher mobile volumes.
The company is pursuing a two-pronged strategy for growth: deepening relationships with existing clients through joint ventures (long-term) and focusing on tie-ups and partnerships with players across the component ecosystem to drive backward integration. Motilal believes that the approach is expected to provide greater revenue visibility and support margin improvement in the coming years.
Motilal Oswal’s report highlights that a display facility with HKC, a camera module collaboration with Qtech, and precision component manufacturing with Chongqing Yuhai Precision will enable Dixon to address a larger share of the smartphone bill of materials (BoM). Additionally, the joint ventures with Longcheer and Vivo are likely to contribute sustainable incremental volumes for the company.
Nomura retained ‘buy’ at an increased target price of ₹21,154.
HDFC Securities observed that Dixon’s growth was tempered by sluggish performance in home appliances and declines in consumer electronics and lighting segment. The analysts maintained add call at a target price of ₹17,740.
Nuvama Institutional Equities noted that Dixon is building a vertically integrated, export-oriented EMS platform to sustain growth beyond the PLI regime.
Nuvama maintains a hold rating on the stock due to its rich valuation (at a target price of ₹16,100). This cautious stance also reflects the uncertainty surrounding the approval timelines for its joint ventures, most of which are with Chinese partners.
As at 10.20 am, the stock traded 3.01 per cent positive at ₹16,597.50 (close to intraday high of 16,607.35).

It marks the popular but controversial car company’s first foray into the restaurant industry. Should it prove successful, owner Elon Musk posted to his social media platform X, the L.A. Tesla Diner will be the first of many.
The contentious new Hollywood diner will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The chef and co-operator Eric Greenspan posted a video of the diner set to Guns N’ Roses’ “Welcome to the Jungle” to his personal Instagram account with the caption, “Tesla Diner now open. 24/7 from now until forever.”
The roughly 9,300-square-foot Tesla Diner drew at least a thousand customers, according to co-operator Bill Chait, and at least one protester, on its first day. Some traveled for hours and arrived early in the morning to wait in line until the doors opened with little warning, and in memelord Musk fashion, at 4:20 p.m.

The opening day scene was a parade of Tesla owners, Musk fans and curious Angelenos who flocked to Santa Monica Boulevard to find parking lots outfitted with 80 superchargers compatible with any electric car, according to Chait.
Some of the vehicles outside were covered with custom decals, at least one done up in purple glitter, another with sparkly polka dots and one plastered with the face of the Musk-beloved crypto-meme dog, Doge.

Inside, the diner boasts the smell of an In-N-Out in a space that looks as if it were plucked from Disney’s Tomorrowland. From behind the pass in the kitchen, Greenspan shouted customer orders: “Epic Bacon,” tuna melt, grilled cheese, egg sandwich add avocado — most of which come served in paper boxes shaped like Tesla Cybertrucks. Some customers wore them as hats.
The diner is also fully electric, from the fryers to the griddles (no gas stoves).
“If our retro-futuristic diner turns out well, which I think it will, @Tesla will establish these in major cities around the world, as well as at Supercharger sites on long distance routes,” Musk, a former President Trump senior advisor, wrote on X. “An island of good food, good vibes & entertainment, all while Supercharging!”
At the center of the diner are two industry veterans: restaurateur Chait, whose credits include Tartine, Mian, Paloma and Firstborn, among others, and Greenspan, a former Foundry and Patina chef, the creator of New School American Cheese and the culinary lead on MrBeast Burger.
The company gave Chait and Greenspan “more or less carte blanche to operate the diner within the Tesla brand,” Chait said.
Tesla began planning the diner in 2018. Franz von Holzhausen, a lead automotive designer at Tesla, oversaw much of the restaurant’s design and consulted with Chait and Greenspan to bring Musk’s vision to life.
Chait characterizes Musk — who has been lambasted by critics for his work in the Trump administration as well as a recent alleged Nazi salute, which he denied — as “a big thinker.” Longtime Tesla fan, investor and cinematographer James Miller, who arrived at the diner at 6:30 a.m. Monday, likened him to Michelangelo or “Steve Jobs on steroids.”
As smooth as the diner’s opening has proved for the operating duo, sometimes the restaurateurs learn news of it just like the rest of the world: from social media outbursts by its polarizing tech billionaire.
“We hear it before he posts it, usually, but there is stuff that he posts, you know, in the middle of the night: out come proclamations,” Chait said.
Chait said he submitted a proposal for the diner years ago; Tesla chose another operating team, then parted ways, and Chait reentered the picture. When it came to tapping a chef, the restaurateur said he knew who to call. He and Greenspan were already in development of a modern Jewish deli, called Mish, which is planned to open Oct. 3 on La Brea.

“He’s an American chef, he knows this food really well, he understands the system,” Chait said.
Greenspan envisioned a pseudo-retro diner. “Charged sodas” on draft are meant to evoke phosphates, and breakfast is served all day long. There are hot dogs, club sandwiches, biscuits with gravy, tallow French fries, cinnamon buns and slices of apple pie served with vanilla ice cream.
Tesla’s branding — and occasionally Musk’s meme-leaning humor — seep into the food. Waffles come stamped with Tesla’s lightning bolt, while a white paper carton holds four maple-glazed strips of “Epic Bacon.” Tesla’s engineers devised their own smashburger press, which produces crispy edges and a juicy center for the burger topped with caramelized onions, shredded lettuce, pickles, a punchy “Electric Sauce” and Greenspan’s brand of American cheese.
Even the electric vehicles’ range influenced the restaurant: Greenspan and Chait wanted to build a menu using purveyors found within a Tesla’s mileage from a single charge. Burbank’s RC Provisions makes the diner’s wagyu chili. Colton’s Chino Valley Ranchers provides the eggs, while Buena Park’s Brandt Beef supplies the burger patties. Tartine, with a location two blocks away, delivers the bread.

The diner does not allow tipping the staff; instead, Chait said, Tesla covers a 20% tip pool, which is distributed to both front- and back-of-house employees.
“Being in food service myself, it’s always great to see innovation,” said Nathan Hoover, a Tesla owner who drove from San Diego at 4 a.m. that morning. “I was impressed. It was worth the wait.”
Chait said he finds the integration of food and technology “outrageous.” Orders can be placed up to 24 hours in advance, while a new “geofence” system tracks when a Tesla enters a set perimeter, alerting the kitchen to ready its order 15 to 20 minutes from arrival.
Guests can select their preference of dining in or utilizing carhop-inspired delivery. Movies projected onto two large screens in the parking lot can also be viewed within the vehicle. “Easter eggs” are hidden in the menu; Chait said some may or may not pertain to how long certain buttons are held while ordering.
On opening day, rumors ran rampant. Does the diner take crypto as a form of payment? No, Chait said, at least not currently. Will robots deliver the food? No, but one was serving popcorn.

The restaurant’s 360-degree rooftop — accessible by an all-white winding staircase with museum-like displays of Tesla’s humanoid Optimus robots in glass cases — offers ample seating and prime views of the movie screens. At the bar is the Diner Shop, where customers clamored for $40 Tesla Diner T-shirts and $175 levitating Cybertruck models. Adjacent sat a popcorn stand operated by none other than an Optimus itself. Fans giggled as the robot slowly filled paper boxes with popcorn, handed them to customers and gave a wave and peace sign.
Not everyone was there to plug in and dine.
Outside the entrance on Santa Monica Boulevard, a man strode the block carrying a sign that read “Workers should have power not the billionaires!”
It was, he promised, the first of many Tesla Diner protests to come.

“I’m putting word out to Action Network and a variety of other Tesla takedown organizations, so we will be here in vast numbers from now on,” said Charles Happold, who lives in the neighborhood. “We will do everything in our power to get him to sell this place and get out of here.”
The activist said he regularly protests Tesla dealerships on weekends, and considers Musk to be a threat to democracy alongside President Trump. Happold also pointed to Musk’s estrangement from his trans daughter as proof of poor character.
Happold paced the sidewalk, occasionally garnering honks of support from passing cars. As guests exited the restaurant, he stopped them to ask why they supported Musk; many responded that they were unaware of the billionaire’s involvement.
“They’re playing dumb,” he said.
Los Angeles, Happold said, is not a city receptive to Musk. But Teslas queued down the block to enter the diner’s parking lot.
“I wanted to make sure there was sound presence here today at this secret grand opening that will make people understand that this is not something we will tolerate in Los Angeles,” Happold said. “We do not want this restaurant here unless he sells it: It’s a unique place and that would be fine, but we don’t want Musk involved at all.”
The popular Spanish island of Ibiza has had a longstanding reputation as a party hotspot for tourists — but those partying too hard are straining local health resources.
A quarter of the ambulance emergencies are linked to large leisure centers, Spanish publication elDiaro.es reported.
The Works Council of the Union of Healthcare Technicians (WCUHT) told the outlet most of the calls are due to drugs or alcohol incidents at clubs involving foreign tourists — leaving ambulance technicians strained.
SUMMER BEACH BATTLE BETWEEN LOCALS AND VISITORS HEATS UP AS OVERTOURISM SOARS
“The situation is entrenched because the population increases, leisure centers increase, and instead of moving forward we go backward,” said union president José Manuel Maroto.
In 2024, about 3.28 million people visited Ibiza, while there were 3.38 visitors the year prior, according to the Ibiza Preservation.

“Serving tourists from nightclubs saturates the service and harms other emergencies on the island, which have to endure delays in ambulances,” said Maroto.
A European Psychiatry study published by Cambridge University Press analyzed drug-related fatalities in Ibiza from 2010 to 2016.

The study found that MDMA and cocaine were the most commonly used substances, with the number of fatalities per year “steadily increasing.”

Party promoter Wayne Anthony told Sky News last year he does not think the drug problem in Ibiza will be stopped.

“When you have these movements that are driven by music, that are driven by art, that are driven by fashion and drugs are a part of it, whatever you put up, whatever boundaries, whatever laws, I don’t think you’re going to be able to stop it,” said Wayne.
He arrived on the island in 1988, noting that “what Ibiza represented was this beautiful, hot island, which was visually stunning and we knew you could party there quite legally.”

“Clubs are obliged to have a health service with nurses and even emergency technicians, but they are not forced to hire an ambulance service, and this ends up becoming a public system,” said Maroto.

He added, “We all pay for ambulances to these companies that make billions. It is unaffordable.”

Founded in 1996 in Houston, Texas, in the United States, by the Mehta siblings—Nisha, Rahul, Jainesh, and Dharmesh—in honour of their parents Bhupat and Jyoti Mehta, the Mehta Family Foundation (MFF) is today a top philanthropic force strengthening India’s knowledge infrastructure through transformative investments in higher education.
With a firm belief that scientific and technological excellence is key to national progress, MFF partners today with top IITs to establish interdisciplinary schools focused on data science, biosciences, AI, health tech, and sustainability.

With over 1,400 students currently enrolled across IITs at Madras, Guwahati, Roorkee, Kanpur, and Palakkad and a target of graduating 12,000 by 2031, MFF’s collaborative model goes beyond traditional funding. Under the leadership of CEO Rahul Mehta, it shapes programmes, recruits faculty, and aligns with long-term national goals.
In India to announce two new schools at IIT Indore on July 22, Rahul Mehta spoke to LiveMint about the Mehta Family Foundation’s journey, the state of academic philanthropy in India, and the road ahead. Excerpts from the interview:
Q: Can you tell us about your background and how the Mehta Family Foundation started?
A: I left India when I was 17. I didn’t come from a wealthy or highly educated family—my parents had no formal education. But I worked hard, started multiple companies, and after selling my first one, I had more money than I ever thought I would need. I decided to start the Foundation. I’ve always believed I am just a steward of this wealth—my goal was to give it away meaningfully.
‘Philanthropic journey focused on education’
Initially, I donated to small nonprofits, gave $500 here, $1,000 there, even to Indian charities. But over time, I realised I needed to decide to donate where I felt the deepest impact. That’s when my philanthropic journey became more focused on education and institution-building.
Q: What was the first major project you funded in India?
A: It started around 2005–06. On a trip to the Aurobindo Ashram, I stopped at IIT Madras and had a conversation with the then-director, MS Ananth. We discussed their vision, and that led to the creation of the School of Biosciences and Bioengineering—the first such school I funded.

Later, in 2010, they returned asking for support to expand lab space, animal hubs, and research infrastructure, which became our second project at IIT Madras. So we’ve supported two major projects there.
Q: How did you choose the areas of focus—Bio, AI, Sustainability?
A: I looked at trends in US academia. By the early 2000s, half of engineering faculty in the US were shifting their focus to healthcare and bio. But Indian campuses hadn’t even considered biosciences yet—they still offered only traditional disciplines like mechanical or chemical engineering.
Similarly, I saw that Indian institutions were slow to adopt AI and data science. In 2018–19, I even hosted a meeting in Delhi with several IIT directors to pitch data science and AI schools—no one was interested. Then came ChatGPT and suddenly everyone saw its relevance. The same is happening now with sustainability.
I havve been pushing for formal education in this space for the last three years. We need a new generation of talent explicitly trained in sustainability.
Q: You have been talking about the 12,000 deep-tech graduates goal. What does that mean?
A: Across eight schools we’ve funded so far, each school typically includes BTech, MTech, and PhD programmes. A typical school has:
● 40–60 BTech seats per year → 160–240 BTech students at steady state
● 50–75 master’s students
● 100–150 PhD students
With a firm belief that scientific and technological excellence is key to national progress, MFF partners today with top IITs to establish interdisciplinary schools focused on data science, biosciences, AI, health tech, and sustainability.
Every school supports around 300–400 students. With eight schools, that’s over 3,000 students in steady-state enrollment—equivalent to the size of a new IIT. If you project this over 10 years, it adds up to over 10,000–12,000 graduates, which is critical for India’s intellectual and innovation capacity.
Q: Are these schools integrated into existing IITs or independent?
A: They’re integrated within existing IITs but are independently funded and branded—like the Mehta Family School of Data Science and AI. So far, we’ve supported biosciences, AI, and sustainability schools. Each has its own set of faculty, curriculum, and students.
Q: What is your long-term vision for the Foundation in India?
A: To help India build a critical mass of intellectual talent across future-critical areas. For example, one school in sustainability isn’t enough. We probably need three or four. Public health is another area I’d like to enter. The idea is to look at long-term capacity creation—not just short-term programs.
Q: Are there specific challenges in setting up these departments in India?
A: Many. The philanthropic ecosystem isn’t as mature as the West. In India, people still ask: “Why do you want to give us money?” Universities often don’t know how to write proposals.
‘Takes 18 months or more’
Even when they agree, internal processes like Senate approvals, faculty alignment, curriculum design—it all takes 18 months or more. In contrast, if I offer money to Harvard, I get a proposal in 24 hours, and they fly out to meet me.
Q: So it’s a 10+ year commitment to build each department?
A: Absolutely. From planning, curriculum design, faculty recruitment, to graduating the first batch—it’s easily a decade-long journey. But that’s what strategic philanthropy requires: focus, patience, and long-term commitment.
Q: How do you assess the impact of your work—what keeps you going?
A: The students. When I visit campuses, I meet them in classrooms and ask about their lives. Most come from small towns I have never heard of. Many are the first in their family to go to college. Getting a job post-graduation changes their lives—and their families.
That’s what keeps me going. One student’s transformation is enough to justify all the effort. But here, we’re talking about thousands.
Q: Do you worry about brain drain—will these students stay in India?
A: I don’t dictate that. They should do what’s best for them. But global forces are shifting—many will stay in India because opportunities here are growing. The goal is to empower them to lead wherever they are.
Q: Where does India stand in the innovation economy today?
A: We’re just beginning. Our innovation capacity has to scale massively. Take healthcare—MD Anderson Cancer Centre in Houston, US, has more cancer researchers than all of India combined. In battery tech, China and the US are far ahead. We must build deep talent pools in these sectors to compete. You can’t innovate without talent.
You can’t innovate without talent.
Q: And where do you see philanthropy in India going from here?
A: It’s getting better. Compared to 2006, people are now more welcoming, more appreciative. But strategic philanthropy is still rare. Many want quick wins—whereas real impact, like building academic institutions, takes 15–20 years. You have to pick one mission and stick to it. That’s what we are doing.
We have tested many other USB flash drives that did not make the cut. Here are a few that might be worth considering for some folks.
PNY Pro Elite V2 (256 GB) for $35: This sliding drive has a plastic cover to protect the USB-A plug, and was our compact pick for a while. It performed well (read and write speeds hovered around 415 MB/s and 425 MB/s) in my tests, and has an opening for a lanyard or keyring. I tested the 256-GB drive, but there are 512-GB and 1-terabyte models.
SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Go (128 GB) for $16: This handy drive swivels to give you USB-C or USB-A, and comes in various sizes and some fun colors, but the lower capacity drives are slow (USB 3.1). You can get the 128 GB drive and up in USB 3.2 Gen 1 for up to 400 MB/s read and it’s a solid alternative to the PNY Duo above.
PNY Elite-X (256 GB) for $22: This super-compact, sliding drive has a USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 jack and a loop on the end to fit on a keyring. It worked fine but proved unremarkable in my tests (around 200 MB/s read, and 130 MB/s write).
Kingston IronKey Keypad 200 (16 GB) for $100: If you need a secure drive, Kingston’s IronKey boasts FIPS 140-3 certification, XTS-AES 256-bit encryption, and a special epoxy on its circuitry to make it impossible to remove components. On the downside, it is expensive, the keypad is fiddly, and 10 wrong entries wipe the drive.
Samsung FIT Plus (256 GB) for $23: It is better-looking than our best tiny drive pick, with a metallic body and performance to match (up to 400 MB/s read for 128-GB or 256-GB drives). But Samsung’s drive is also substantially bigger and more expensive, though it does have a handy loop for a keychain.
Avoid These Flash Drives

Silicon Power DS72 Portable SSD (1 TB): This is a reasonable price for a 1-TB drive with USB 3.2 Gen 2 USB-A and USB-C connectors, and it consistently hit 450 MB/s read and write speeds in my tests (it can hit 1050 MB/s and 850 MB/s with the right gear). It got quite warm to the touch, but the reason I don’t recommend this drive is the stupid plastic connector covers. You have to bend them back, and they get in the way when you’re trying to insert the drive.
Verbatim Dual (64 GB): This teeny drive is cheap and has both USB-A and USB-C plugs, but I found write speeds were variable (60 MB/s for USB-C and 90 MB/s for USB-A) and read speeds were around 150 MB/s for both. There is a cover for the USB-A and a wee strap you can attach, but this drive is almost too small, and it proved awkward to insert and remove. It also comes in 16- or 32-gigabyte options.

POVIŠENI kolesterol često prolazi nezapaženo jer ne uzrokuje vidljive simptome, a otkriva se tek analizom krvi. No njegovo ignoriranje može imati ozbiljne posljedice jer povećava rizik od srčanog i moždanog udara.
U krvi postoje dvije glavne vrste kolesterola:
LDL (loš) – nakuplja se na stijenkama krvnih žila i može ih suziti ili začepiti
HDL (dobar) – pomaže u uklanjanju viška kolesterola iz krvi
Previše LDL kolesterola znači veći rizik od srčanih bolesti, dok krvni ugrušci mogu dovesti do akutnih stanja poput infarkta ili moždanog udara.
Kako prehrana može pomoći?
Neke namirnice sadrže prirodne tvari koje mogu sniziti kolesterol slično kao statini, lijekovi koji blokiraju enzim odgovoran za stvaranje kolesterola u jetri. Iako nijedna hrana ne može u potpunosti zamijeniti terapiju lijekovima, određeni sastojci iz prehrane mogu znatno pomoći. Ključno je uzimati ih uz savjet liječnika, osobito ako već pijete lijekove.
Moć topivih vlakana
Zob je bogata beta-glukanom, vrstom topivih vlakana koja pomažu u snižavanju LDL kolesterola. U crijevima beta-glukan se veže za žučne kiseline, sprječava njihovu ponovnu apsorpciju, a jetra mora trošiti više kolesterola iz krvi za proizvodnju novih kiselina, čime se razina “lošeg” kolesterola smanjuje.
Istraživanja pokazuju da 3.5 grama beta-glukana dnevno može smanjiti LDL za oko 4%. Jedna porcija zobenih pahuljica (40 g) sadrži oko 2 grama beta-glukana.
Iako još nema dokaza da zob smanjuje rizik od srčanog udara, njen učinak na kolesterol čini je važnim dijelom zdravog jelovnika.

Biljni steroli i stanoli, prirodna prepreka kolesterolu
Fitosteroli su spojevi slični kolesterolu koji se međusobno ometaju pri apsorpciji u crijevima. Time učinkovito smanjuju količinu kolesterola koji ulazi u krvotok.
Unos do 3.3 grama dnevno može smanjiti razinu LDL kolesterola od 6 do 12% unutar mjesec dana. Najveći učinak postiže se konzumacijom obogaćenih proizvoda, poput određenih margarina, mlijeka i jogurta, jer prirodni izvori (orašasti plodovi, povrće, voće) sadrže premale količine.
Važno je znati da biljni steroli i stanoli pomažu u snižavanju kolesterola, ali nije dokazano da smanjuju rizik od infarkta ili moždanog udara kao statini.
Prehrana nije dovoljna, važan je cjelovit pristup
Kod nekih osoba, posebno onih s genetski povišenim kolesterolom, statini su nužni. No njihova učinkovitost veća je kada se kombiniraju sa zdravim stilom života:
redovita tjelesna aktivnost (barem 150 minuta tjedno)
prestanak pušenja
kontrola težine
umjeren unos alkohola
uravnotežena prehrana bogata vlaknima
Prije nego što počnete uzimati dodatke prehrani poput crvene riže ili niacina, uvijek se posavjetujte s liječnikom.

Fashion has always unfolded in numerous ways, and within this vibrant world lies a community of experts, akin to the finest vintage wine. They hold onto precious garments and timeless values that have been lovingly passed down through generations. Some might refer to this as archival fashion or even auction-worthy treasures. For those fortunate enough, there may be a hidden wardrobe or vintage trunk that awaits rediscovery, a trunk your mother or grandmother tended to with care each monsoon season. Nestled within are exquisite sarees adorned with real gold thread and family jewels, as precious as diamonds, tucked away in wooden boxes within family lockers. Archival fashion is more than just fast fashion; it represents the true gems of our family histories and is safeguarded as part of our generational wealth. ‘Scarf Belts’ Have Taken Over the Fashion Scene, Becoming a Must-Have Street Style Trend!
The essence of Archival Fashion is often celebrated during grand Indian weddings, such as the Ambani wedding last year. Many Indian celebrities and affluent families are dedicated to preserving their generational heritage, showcasing jewels and silks intricately threaded with pure gold and silver, embellished with real gems. These pieces stand as a proud testament to Indian culture, lovingly guarded within the wardrobes of privileged families. From the iconic Rekha to the emerging star Alia Bhatt, these celebrated individuals embrace archival fashion through their most treasured Indian garments and vintage family jewellery.

Archival Fashion: A Look into Pandora
Archival fashion refers to the practice of preserving and showcasing historical and significant garments that capture the essence of past trends and cultural movements. By focusing on these archival pieces, fashion enthusiasts can gain insights into the evolution of fashion, the artistry behind clothing, and the lasting impact of historical aesthetics on contemporary style.
In Europe, there is a poignant tradition where the wardrobes of beloved celebrities who have passed away become exhibitions, with their cherished pieces auctioned at remarkable prices. These garments carry not only a historical significance but also the deep sentimental value of their original owners. It’s a heartfelt way to honour those who valued the importance of preserving and collecting these fashion gems. Many renowned designers and fashion dignitaries attend these exhibitions, embracing the opportunity to adopt archival pieces as a tribute to someone’s heartfelt treasure, creating space in their wardrobes for memories that resonate deeply.
With archival fashion, each piece tells a story that spans generations, connecting fashion lovers, art collectors, and heads of families who wish to honour the traditions and craftsmanship passed down through their lineage. If your grandmother’s trunk has remained untouched for a while, consider this a gentle reminder from your ancestral legacy, encouraging you to revisit those memories and give them the love and appreciation they truly deserve

JESTE li već primijetili suptilan, ali sveprisutan modni detalj na zapešćima najbogatijih muškaraca svijeta? Riječ je o takozvanim narukvicama milijardera – decentnim komadima nakita s perlama koji se sve češće pojavljuju na rukama vlasnika moćnih kompanija, investitora, ali i holivudskih zvijezda.
Ove se narukvice mogu vidjeti na mnogim utjecajnim muškarcima – od čelnika Lamborghinija do glumaca poput Brada Pitta i Ryana Reynoldsa. Da se radi o ozbiljnom trendu postalo je jasno kada je kostimograf Julian Day u filmu F1 zapešće imućnog lika Petera Banninga, kojeg glumi Tobias Menzies, ukrasio upravo nizom ovakvih narukvica, piše Man of Many.
Postavlja se pitanje: zašto su inače besprijekorno odjeveni muškarci odjednom opsjednuti slaganjem ovih narukvica uz svoje skupocjene Rolex satove?
Neočekivani modni hit
Elegantni konopi, zlatni detalji, srebrni privjesci, perle i obojeno drago kamenje dominiraju ovim stilom, no trend je zapravo krenuo s porastom popularnosti muških narukvica kao modne kategorije. Ovakve narukvice su postale simbolom tihog luksuza – modnog pokreta koji se fokusira na vrhunsku kvalitetu i diskreciju umjesto na glasne logotipe.
Popularnost u brojkama
Da nije riječ samo o prolaznom hiru, potvrđuju i podaci. Prema Google Trends, globalne pretrage za pojmom “muške narukvice” u stalnom su porastu. Vrhunac popularnosti dosegnut je između siječnja i prosinca 2022. godine, kada je broj mjesečnih pretraga dosegnuo rekordnu razinu – s rastom od više od 40% u odnosu na prethodnu godinu.
Trend je ušao i u luksuzne trgovine u kojima kupuje imućnija klijentela. The Wall Street Journal navodi da je britanski robni lanac Selfridges zabilježio rast potražnje za muškim narukvicama od čak 124% u odnosu na godinu prije, čime su postale drugi najtraženiji komad muškog nakita, odmah nakon ogrlica.
Zanimljivo je da, unatoč pojavi novih brendova, tržištem dominiraju oni s dugom tradicijom, poput Peyote Birda koji postoji više od 50 godina.

Više od običnog nakita
Brendovi kao što su Luis Morais i Peyote Bird predvode ovu kategoriju s ručno rađenim komadima koji spajaju fine uzice, 14-karatno zlato i pokoji dragi kamen. Na prvi pogled mogu izgledati kao nešto što je vaše dijete izradilo u vrtiću, no zapravo je riječ o pomno dizajniranim djelima vrhunskih majstora, izrađenim od rijetkih metala i dragulja.
Cjelokupan stil kombinira antikne tekstilne uzorke s utjecajima američke radne odjeće iz jugozapadnih država. Čini se da narukvica milijardera nije samo modni dodatak, već i osobni talisman koji otkriva detalje o ukusima inače suzdržanih muškaraca. Nerijetko su te narukvice toliko upečatljive da odvlače pažnju i od Rolex sata od 60.000 dolara koji dijele zapešće s njima.
Kako ih nositi?
Ako se pitate kako ih nositi, za inspiraciju se možete ugledati na Brada Pitta. Nosite ih uz vintage traper jakne i vestern košulje te se ne bojte kombinirati materijale.
Spojite srebro s pozlaćenim srebrom, rubinima i zemljanim tonovima kamenja, kao što to čini brend Peyote Bird na svojim komadima koji dosežu troznamenkaste iznose. S obzirom na nezaustavljiv rast spore mode i potražnje za unikatnim, ručno rađenim proizvodima, čini se da popularnost narukvica milijardera neće tako skoro nestati.

LONDON (AP) — Smartphones, laptops, headphones and other electronic devices are essential for work and play in our daily lives. But all that time spent typing, scrolling or listening also means our devices gradually accumulate grime that needs to be cleaned off.
You might not give much thought to cleaning your devices but there are reasons you should, says Logitech, which makes keyboards, webcams and other computer peripherals.
“Regular cleaning and proper maintenance not only keeps your gadgets looking pristine, and wins you hygiene points, it also helps them perform better and last longer,” the company says. “In the case of devices like earbuds, the accumulated bacteria and debris may even cause health issues or discomfort.”
Here are some pointers on cleaning your tech:
Always check if the manufacturer has any specific guidelines for cleaning.
Assemble some basic equipment and material for cleaning, which should include a soft and lint-free cleaning cloth, like a microfiber cloth; cotton swabs; a soft-bristled brush like a toothbrush, paintbrush or makeup brush; compressed air and isopropyl alcohol.
Isopropyl, or rubbing alcohol, is a cleaning solvent that’s antiseptic and antibacterial. It’s popular for cleaning electronics because it doesn’t leave any residue and dries quickly. But you might want to wear gloves to avoid skin irritation. Drip some of it on a cloth instead of pouring it directly onto your device. Also heed some of the more specific warnings below.
Water and mild soap can be useful for cleaning dirty surfaces, but isopropyl alcohol is recommended for cleaning the internals of a device, said Alex Diaz-Kokaisl, senior technical writer at electronics repair company iFixit.
“While there isn’t a hard-and-fast rule for cleaning electronics, we generally use high-concentration isopropyl alcohol (more than 90%) because it evaporates quickly,” he said. “The faster a liquid evaporates, the less likely it is to affect any components that conduct electricity.”
For whatever device you’re cleaning, disconnect or power it off first. Remove any cases, plugs, covers and accessories.
When using a computer, the keyboard and mouse are the parts that are touched most often and therefore need the most frequent cleaning. And all those crevices between a keyboard’s keys are sure to catch crumbs.
To remove any loose debris, iFixit’s official in-house cleaning guide recommends using a can of compressed air. Run the spray back and forth across the keys to blow out any bits. If possible, hold the keyboard upside down so the debris falls out.
If you don’t have compressed air, Logitech suggests using a hair dryer on the cold air setting. Some social media users also recommend a handheld balloon pump.
Next, dampen a cleaning cloth with water and gently wipe down the keyboard and mouse.
Logitech says you can also use rubbing alcohol but recommends you test it first on an inconspicuous spot to make sure it doesn’t cause discoloration or scrub the lettering off the keys.
Anti-bacterial baby wipes can also work on devices like a mouse, Diaz-Kokaisl said.
“There shouldn’t be enough liquid to seep through cracks in the shell, and their residue typically evaporates faster than just using soap and water,” he said.
For laptop screens or external monitors, use a dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe away fingerprint smudges.
If there are more stubborn spots — like food stains or sneezy spatters — dampen the cloth with distilled water or a 50/50 solution of distilled water and vinegar.
Computer maker Lenovo says the “gentle acidity of vinegar can help break down oils and fingerprints.” Avoid using household glass cleaners, which can contain ammonia that could damage the screen. The same goes for paper towels, which can scratch the screen. HP also warns against using rubbing alcohol.
A lot of people listen to music or podcasts through their earbuds, but that also means they’ll need regular cleaning to remove any earwax, natural skin oils or other grungy buildup.
If the earbuds have silicon tips, remove them. Cleaning procedures vary depending on your brand and model. Logitech and Bose recommend using soapy water. But Sony warns against water or wet wipes because they can speed deterioration, and, instead, advises using a dry cloth.
Use a cotton swab to wipe the earbud nozzles clean.
Owners of Apple AirPods need to follow a much more elaborate procedure to clean the mesh. You’ll need a child’s toothbrush, two small cups, a paper towel, distilled water, as well as micellar water — typically used as a facial cleanser.
Pour some micellar water into a cup, dip the toothbrush, brush the AirPod’s various mesh parts, and then blot them dry with the paper. Repeat twice. Then repeat that procedure but using the distilled water to rinse off the micellar water. Finally, let the AirPods dry for at least two hours.
To clean the rest of the AirPod’s body, use a damp cloth. And don’t forget about the charging case. Apple recommends brushing out any debris and then wiping with a dry cloth. If needed, dampen it with isopropyl alcohol.
What about over-the-ear headphones? Bose says you should wipe them down at least once a week, especially after working out, to remove any dirt and bacteria hiding in the nooks and crannies. Remove the pads and use a cloth dampened with soapy water to clean them.
Apple has issued specific instructions on its website for cleaning various iPhone models. Samsung has posted similar guidelines for its Galaxy lineup.
They both advise using a soft, lint-free cloth, such as a lens cleaning cloth, to gently wipe the outside of the phone. Apple warns against using any cleaning products, which could erode the oil-repellent coating that most iPhones come with.
Both companies say it’s OK to use disinfectants such as rubbing alcohol to gently clean the exterior, but avoid bleach or hydrogen peroxide.

BHOPAL: Actor-director Anupam Kher’s directorial venture ‘Tanvi the Great’ was declared tax free in BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh on Tuesday.
Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav made the announcement, after watching the special screening of the movie with the film’s cast and crew, including director Anupam Kher.
“Today, I had the opportunity to watch the film, Tanvi the Great with the renowned actor and director Anupam Kher in Bhopal. I announce the film to be made tax-free in MP. This touching film is dedicated to the struggles, determination and dreams of an autistic girl. It inspires people to be more sensitive, humane and compassionate towards special children. Heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to Anupam Kher and his entire team for the wonderful film,” the MP CM posted on X (formerly twitter) after watching the movie’s special screening.
This is the second Hindi movie after the Vicky Kaushal-starrer ‘Chhaava’ to be declared tax free in Madhya Pradesh within five months.
‘Tanvi the Great’ is the fourth movie to have been declared tax free in Madhya Pradesh by the 19-months-old Dr Mohan Yadav government.
Prior to Chaava, Vikrant Massey and Raashii Khanna-starrer movie ‘The Sabarmati Report’ was declared tax free in November 2024, eight months after Yami Gautam-starrer ‘Article 370’ was granted similar tax benefits in the central Indian state.
Before it, in May 2023, then CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan had declared Hindi movie, “The Kerala Story” tax free and also watched the movie with the film’s cast and crew in Bhopal.
In June 2022, Chouhan had declared Akshay Kumar-starrer ‘Samrat Prithviraj’ as tax free, just two months after granting similar benefits to Anupam Kher-starrer, “The Kashmir Files.”
But it’s not just BJP regimes which have declared movies tax free in MP, as even the 15-months-old Kamal Nath led Congress regime, had declared Deepika Padukone-starrer Chhapaak (based on the real-life struggle of an acid attack survivor) and Taapsee Pannu-starrer “Thappad” (which dealt with issue of domestic violence) tax free in the state.
The domestic market ended nearly flat, lacking clear direction amid mixed earnings announcements and muted global cues. Investors, staging cautious stance, seemed to have opted for profit booking.
After opening with a positive note, the market slipped into weakness in the early part of the session. It later shifted into a choppy movement with weak bias for better part of the session, Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, said.
Sensex dipped by 13.53 pts or 0.02 per cent to close at 82,186.81 after positive opening at 82,527.43 against previous close of 82,200.34. Nifty 50 dropped 29.80 pts or 0.12 per cent to 25,060.90.
Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited, highlighted thatmarket’s attention is on quarterly earnings, which slowed lately after some traction from banking stocks.
Positivity noticed on Friday and Monday tapered ahead the critical August 1, 2025, deadline of US trade agreement.
“Upside in Q1 earnings will be the critical point to sustain the current premium valuations. Continued profit booking by the FIIs exerts downward pressure, while steady inflows from DIIs could support a range-bound movement with a positive bias towards Q1 results and the trade deal.” Nair added.
According to Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd, traders should adopt a hedged approach and focus on fundamentally strong counters.
The broader market also mirrored this bearish sentiment, with Nifty Midcap and Nifty Smallcap 100 indices closing in negative territory. The market breadth remained weak — in the Nifty 500 universe, 317 stocks ended lower, pushing the advance/decline ratio firmly in favour of the bears.
On the sectoral front, financials was the only index that ended flat, while all other indices ended in red with media topping the list with over 2 per cent loss. PSU Bank, pharma and realty also depreciated over 1 per cent.
Sudeep Shah, Head – Technical Research and Derivatives at SBI Securities, highlighted that India VIX, the fear gauge, dropped over 4 per cent and closed at its lowest level since the last week of April 2024, reflecting a decline in near-term volatility expectations despite the broad sell-off.
Top gainers & losers today
Shares of Eternal topped the list of Nifty 50 gainers (hitting a record high intraday). Grasim, Wipro, Jio Financial, Hindalco and Bharat Electronics were also among the gainers.
Infosys — among key companies to announce Q1 results tomorrow — has ended with marginal gains.
On the flip side, IndusInd, Dr Reddy’s Laboratories, Tech Mahindra, Sun Pharma, Maruti and Adani Ports featurede among major laggards.
HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank extended their post-earnings gain since Monday.
About 1,489 stocks advanced and 1,081 declined of all the 3,157 stocks that were traded on the National Stock Exchange. Choice International, Dalmia Bharat, Datamatics, Eternal and Force Motors featured among 74 stocks that hit 52-week high.
Among the Nifty PSU Bank index, Central Bank of India, Union Bank, Bank of Maharashtra, UCO Bank and PNB ended flat or with marginal gains, while IOB, Bank of India and PSB dipped.
On the BSE, shares of AGI Greenpac and Tilaknagar Industries rallied 12-15 per cent, while Kirloskar Pneumatic Company, 360 ONE WAM and Zee Entertainment tanked 6-11 per cent.
Asian markets staged mixed trends.
Wall Street ended mostly higher on Monday. FIIs offloaded equities worth ₹1,681.23 crore on Monday, and DIIs bought stocks worth ₹3,578.43 crore.
On Monday, the Sensex climbed 442.61 pts or 0.54 per cent to settle at 82,200.34 and Nifty 50 soared 122.30 pts or 0.49 per cent to 25,090.70.
For more than 75 years, In-N-Out Burger has been a pillar of California fast-food culture, its Double-Doubles and palm tree logos becoming fixtures of the West Coast landscape. But now, the family-owned chain is making a pivot eastward, with billionaire owner and Chief Executive Lynsi Snyder announcing her own departure from the Golden State.
“There’s a lot of great things about California, but raising a family is not easy here. Doing business is not easy here,” Snyder said during a recent appearance on the “Relatable” podcast, hosted by conservative commentator Allie Beth Stuckey.
The move to Tennessee represents a seismic shift for the leader of the brand. Currently operating more than 400 locations across eight states — California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Oregon, Colorado, Texas and Idaho — In-N-Out has long thrived on being the burger chain you couldn’t find everywhere.
“I like that we’re sought after when someone’s coming into town. I like that we’re unique. that we’re not on every corner,” Snyder told Forbes in 2018. “You put us in every state, and it takes away some of its luster.”
But times, and Snyder’s position, have changed. The company announced plans in January 2023 to establish a corporate office in Franklin, Tenn., by 2026. In California, the company is consolidating its corporate operations to Baldwin Park, the chain’s birthplace.
The migration reflects a broader corporate exodus from California, with businesses and some billionaires leaving. Tesla, Charles Schwab and Chevron are among the companies that have moved, citing regulatory challenges, operational costs and policy disagreements.
During the podcast, Snyder discussed elements of California policy that make the state hard to operate in, specifically referencing pandemic-era restrictions as particularly challenging.
In-N-Out started in 1948 when Harry and Esther Snyder opened their first location on a small piece of land in Baldwin Park. With little money, they created what would become the first drive-through burger chain.
From those humble beginnings, the chain grew into a part of Southern California mythology, attracting devoted fans from Michelin-starred chefs to celebrities such as Julia Child, who kept a map of all In-N-Out locations in her purse.
Harry and Esther Snyder’s granddaughter Lynsi became president in 2010 at age 27, making her one of America’s youngest billionaires. Under her leadership, she has largely followed the path set down by her grandparents, maintaining the company’s founding principles and her grandfather’s own motto: “Keep it simple, do one thing and do it the best you can.”
Although at one point Snyder said the company wouldn’t expand further east than Texas, her views have changed. She told Stuckey that “the bulk of our stores are still going to be here in California.” The relocation of both corporate operations and the CEO signals a fundamental change in the company’s center of gravity.
“It will be wonderful having an office out there, growing out there, and being able to have the family and other people’s families out there,” Snyder said, though she maintains limits on expansion.
“Florida has begged us, and we’re still saying no,” she said on the podcast. “The East Coast states, we’re still saying no.”
In-N-Out did not respond to a request for comment.

Newly displayed 1,300-year-old doodles suggest that medieval monastic life wasn’t all about solemn chants and holy scripture.
Now on view at the National Museum of Ireland, Kildare Street, the scribbles are part of the “Words on the Wave: Ireland and St. Gallen in Early Medieval Europe” exhibit until October 24.
In a release shared with Fox News Digital, the museum confirmed that the medieval-focused exhibition features over 100 objects and free admission for visitors.
1,000-YEAR-OLD MEDIEVAL SWORD EMERGES FROM DUTCH RIVER AFTER CHANCE DISCOVERY: ‘BARELY CORRODED’
Seventeen ancient manuscripts, on loan from Switzerland’s seventh-century Abbey Library of St. Gall, will be on view for visitors.
One of the exhibit’s most curious books is called Priscian’s Institutiones Grammaticae, which contains “thousands of scribbles in the margins by monks in the Old Irish language,” according to the museum.

Though the book was written in the sixth century, the doodles were penned most likely by northern Irish monks in the 850s.
“[They] offer us a rare and very real glimpse into the daily lives and personalities of early medieval Irish monks.”
“It was probably written in the monasteries of Nendrum or Bangor in the North of Ireland but was on the Continent within a decade of being written,” the press release noted.

The museum also said the books feature “witty banter” – but you’d need to understand Old Irish to get the jokes.
Curator Matthew Seaver shared some of the highlights of the doodles with The Guardian. One monk wrote that he was “ale-killed” — or having a hangover.

Other friars scribbled complaints about cold weather and poor-quality materials.
“New parchment, bad ink. O I say nothing more,” one humorous scribbling reveals.

In another entry, a monk worried about a Viking raid. The writing reads, “Bitter is the wind tonight, it tosses the ocean’s white hair: I fear not the coursing of a clear sea by the fierce heroes from Lothlend.”
Some of the scribbled notes blend humor with hardship, including laments about weather and bad ink.(Stiftsbibliothek, St. Gallen.)
Seaver noted that the scribbles are “full of human voices, humor, frustration and resilience.”
“[They] offer us a rare and very real glimpse into the daily lives and personalities of early medieval Irish monks,” the historian said.

Also on display is an 8th-century brooch, a Viking sword and Ireland’s oldest and largest container of sacred books, called the Lough Kinale Book Shrine.
In a statement, NMI chair Cathal O’Donoghue said he was “honored to be entrusted with such a significant loan.”

Every year, my family kicks off summer—aka camping season—with a weekend in the high desert, where it’s a blisteringly hot 90 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and drops to the 40s at night. Every year, my despairing husband tries to accommodate his dog, wife, and children by filling up our entire truck with every single variety of sleeping material we own, from lightweight liners to camping quilts to my 0-degree mummy bag.
How do you arrange sleeping materials when everyone in your family has different heat tolerances (my son and husband run hot, my daughter and I run very, very cold); when everyone goes to bed at different times; and when your tent is sometimes stifling and sometimes freezing? We resigned ourselves to constantly waking up and adjusting layers, shuffling under extra blankets, zipping up the mummy bag, or pressing against other bodies in the tent (this is my son’s strategy, and I don’t recommend it).
This year, we solved the issue with the Rumpl Wrap Sack ($250). This is the most amazing sleeping bag I’ve ever used. My son stole the tester that Rumpl sent, then we had to buy my daughter another one. I want it back!
Sleeping Burrito

The Rumpl is a synthetic sleeping bag. It’s rated for 20 degrees Fahrenheit and tested (by Rumpl) to temperatures down to 10 degrees. You can also order a camp pillow in matching colorways ($60) that fits neatly into the hood. This has solved the problem of my children just grabbing the pillows straight off their beds to sleep in the dirt for three days.
The temperature ratings are misleading, however, because the genius of the Wrap Sack is that you can choose exactly how much insulation you want. The sleeping bag is really a clipable, foldable sleeping blanket. You can open it entirely when you’re hot at 8 pm; wrap one layer on top of your kid when the temperature has dropped 10 degrees at 10 pm; then wrap another layer on at 1 or 2 am when it gets even colder, like a burrito in fun colors.
“But Adrienne,” you say, “could you not do this with a backpacking quilt?” Interesting that you ask. I have tried. It’s why my husband has gotten into the habit of packing nearly every type of sleeping bedding that we’ve ever owned for every trip. You have not known true, exhausted despair until it’s 1 am in the morning after a full day of swimming and hiking; you’re trapped in a tent with your entire family, far from civilization; and your children are sobbing loudly as they thrash around in the pitch-black darkness trying to find the exact right layers.
This one’s too hot! This one’s too cold! The zipper is stuck! The dog farted! We’ve endured this rigmarole for so many nights, only for us all to fall into an exhausted stupor at 4 am when the sun starts coming out, and waking up bathed in sweat at 9 am, right when the tent starts becoming baking hot.
VITAMIN K često se zanemaruje kada se govori o zdravoj prehrani, ali stručnjaci naglašavaju da bi trebao biti visoko na popisu.
“Riječ je o vitaminu topivom u mastima koji jača kosti, pomaže pri zgrušavanju krvi i podržava mnoge druge važne tjelesne funkcije”, objašnjava nutricionistica Samantha Dieras za Vogue. Postoje dva oblika: vitamin K1 (najviše ga ima u lisnatom povrću) i vitamin K2 (nalazi se u namirnicama životinjskog podrijetla i fermentiranoj hrani).
Prema riječima nutricionistice i dijetetičarke Lauren Manaker, “vitamin K osigurava da kalcij odlazi na prava mjesta – poput kostiju – umjesto da se nakuplja u arterijama”, čime istovremeno štiti i kosti i krvožilni sustav. Iako je općenito siguran za većinu ljudi, Dieras upozorava da može ometati djelovanje nekih lijekova poput antibiotika ili antikoagulanasa, pa savjetuje konzultaciju s liječnikom prije uzimanja suplemenata.
Dakle, prema nutricionisticama, ovo je popis namirnica bogatih vitaminom K koje mogu pomoći u očuvanju kostiju.
Kelj
Kelj je iznimno bogat vitaminom K – 100 grama kelja sadrži oko 817 mikrograma vitamina K, navodi Manaker. To znači da i manja porcija osigurava više nego dovoljno za dnevne potrebe.
Špinat
Špinat je još jedno lisnato povrće s visokim udjelom ovog vitamina. Prema Manaker, 100 grama špinata sadrži oko 483 mikrograma vitamina K.
Prokulice
Bilo da su kuhane ili sirove, prokulice su odličan izvor. Otprilike 100 grama prokulica sadrži oko 177 mikrograma vitamina K, prema podacima USDA-e.
Brokula
Osim što je dobar izvor vlakana i proteina, brokula sadrži oko 141 mikrogram vitamina K na 100 grama, ističe Manaker.
Edamame
Edamame je odličan međuobrok – bogat je proteinima, a 100 grama sadrži 26 mikrograma vitamina K.
Suhe šljive
Suhe šljive, koje Manaker osobno preporučuje, sadrže 60 mikrograma vitamina K na 100 grama. Uz to su bogate borom, kalijem i antioksidansima te se lako koriste u raznim receptima.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Kivi
Kivi je voće koje sadrži oko 40 mikrograma vitamina K u 100 grama narezanih komadića, prema Manaker.
Avokado
Avokado je također dobar izvor – 100 grama sadrži oko 21 mikrogram vitamina K. Osim toga, bogat je zdravim mastima.
Borovnice
Borovnice sadrže oko 19 mikrograma vitamina K na 100 grama, kaže Manaker, i idealne su kao zdrav međuobrok.
Grožđe
Grožđe sadrži oko 14 mikrograma vitamina K u 100 grama i nudi dodatne prednosti za zdravlje kože, navodi Manaker.
Tvrdo kuhana jaja
Veliko kuhano jaje (oko 50 g) sadrži 0.15 mikrograma vitamina K, prema USDA-i. Iako količina nije visoka, jaja nude mnoge druge prednosti.
Koliko vitamina K nam treba?
Prema preporukama NIH-a, dnevni unos trebao bi biti 120 mikrograma za muškarce i 90 mikrograma za žene. Manaker naglašava da se ove količine lako mogu unijeti uravnoteženom prehranom.
Kako poboljšati apsorpciju vitamina K?
Stručnjaci preporučuju unos vitamina K putem cjelovitih namirnica. Manaker ističe suhe šljive jer sadrže i druge korisne nutrijente te prirodnu slatkoću: “Mogu se dodavati u razna jela i poboljšati okus i teksturu”, kaže. Dieras dodaje da su dodaci prehrani s kombinacijom vitamina K i D korisni za zdravlje kostiju.
Kako prepoznati nedostatak vitamina K?
Iako rijedak, nedostatak se može pojaviti, osobito kod osoba koje uzimaju određene lijekove ili imaju poremećaje u apsorpciji. Manaker upozorava na znakove poput lakog nastanka modrica, pretjeranog krvarenja iz rana, desni ili nosa, krvi u urinu ili stolici te lomljivosti kostiju. “Ako primijetite ove simptome, obratite se svom liječniku”, zaključuje.

LVMH is poised to face significant scrutiny as one of its brands, Loro Piana, has recently come under investigation by prosecutors in Milan for allegedly employing illegal immigrants under harsh conditions, reportedly making them work up to 30 hours consecutively in their manufacturing units. This situation could spark serious discussions about the ethical standards within the luxury fashion industry. As the consequences unfold, it’s likely to contribute to growing concerns regarding the authenticity and value of luxury pieces, especially as consumers increasingly turn to knock-offs that offer similar aesthetics without the associated ethical dilemmas. The upcoming months could reveal how LVMH will respond to these challenges and what it means for the future of luxury fashion. Archival Fashion Is Making a Comeback for the Festive Season.
Loro Piana has been exposed for scamming its customers, following Dior, another luxury brand under LVMH, which faced legal issues due to subcontracting production to exploitative suppliers. Tragically, consumers believed they were making an informed, savvy choice by investing in Loro Piana, a brand that touted ethical production and a commitment to systematic investment. When a consumer purchases an item with a price tag of £740, like their renowned loafers, only to discover they were made while exploiting workers at drastically lower costs, it’s unacceptable. ‘Scarf Belts’ Have Taken Over the Fashion Scene, Becoming a Must-Have Street Style Trend!
Quiet luxury coupled with a loud, snobbish cheap on the shoulder
Italian prosecutors have uncovered that migrant workers were forced to labour well beyond legal limits, sleeping on factory floors, and receiving wages far below Italy’s minimum standard. Meanwhile, Loro Piana has distanced itself from responsibility, claiming ignorance about these abhorrent practices. As a powerhouse in the luxury market, with sweaters exceeding £2000, the company should be fully aware of how its products are priced and the conditions under which they are manufactured.
Loro Piana is leading a pivotal transformation in the luxury fashion landscape, confidently embodying a ‘you can’t sit with us’ mentality that embraces a refined yet humble aesthetic. As the demand for quiet luxury rises among discerning consumers, awareness of the ethical costs in fashion is set to surge. In an era where the exploitation of workers and inflated prices for low-value goods come to light, Loro Piana is poised to become a central force. With its steadfast commitment to understated elegance, the brand is redefining what value and ethical consumption mean in luxury fashion, igniting essential conversations that challenge conventional norms. The future is bright for this brand as it aligns with individuals who prioritise authenticity and responsibility in their purchasing decisions.
Loro Piana is not alone in this unethical behaviour; brands like Dior and Armani have also been implicated in similar practices. These are just the cases that have come to light, while countless others likely operate under the same dark reality. Consumers are led to believe they are purchasing high-quality luxury items, but in truth, they are acquiring poorly made goods and enriching shareholders. It’s time to demand accountability and transparency from these brands and recognise the true cost of luxury fashion.

PSEĆE nepodopštine često su izvor smijeha i veselja, a ponekad su toliko otkačene da se i sami vlasnici zapitaju što se događa u njihovim glavicama. Upravo to na najsmješniji mogući način dokazuje nedavna objava s društvenih mreža koja je postala viralni hit.
Na Instagram profilu @harveytherescue, posvećenom trima psima pasmine bully, objavljen je presladak video koji prikazuje ludorije udomljenog psa Harveyja. Njegova vlasnica je kompilaciju nazvala “stvari koje je moj pas radio ovaj tjedan, a koje su me uvjerile da ima samo jednu moždanu stanicu”.
Kompilacija urnebesnih trenutaka
Video počinje Harveyjevim ambicioznim pokušajem da pojede cijelu tortu odjednom. Slijedi scena u kojoj se popiškio po vlastitoj nozi, nakon čega je izgledao iskreno zbunjeno i razočarano. Harvey je vlasnicu iznenadio i tvrdoglavim odbijanjem da se skloni s jakog sunca i uđe u kuću.

Kompilacija urnebesnih trenutaka nastavlja se prizorom Harveyja s košarom zaglavljenom na glavi, a u jednom trenutku čini se kao da je zaboravio čemu služi podloga za lizanje. Nastavio je sa svojim nestašlucima koristeći nogu svoje pseće sestre kao igračku za žvakanje. Pokazao je i dozu ljubomore kada su gosti mazili njegovu sestru, jasno dajući do znanja da ne voli takvu pažnju stranaca. Video završava scenom u kojoj odustaje od naganjanja vjeverica kako bi se umjesto toga posvetio lovu na kamenje u jezeru.
Oduševljene reakcije
Simpatični video brzo je postao popularan, prikupivši više od 87 tisuća pregleda i 10 tisuća lajkova. “Tako zabavno za gledati”, napisao je jedan korisnik, dok se drugi našalio: “Samo je podijelio ostale moždane stanice onima manje sretnima”.

Mumbai, July 22: Former spinner Ravichandran Ashwin silenced Karun Nair’s critics by declaring that the Vidarbha batter has done “well” despite the hiatus of a substantial score after three Tests in India’s ongoing tour of England. The runs that flew briskly from Karun’s bat in the domestic circuit have dried up in England. After a swashbuckling 204 for India A in the first unofficial Test against England Lions, he raised the expectations around him to new heights. Shivnarine Chanderpaul Shares His Thoughts Ahead of IND vs ENG 4th Test 2025, Says ‘When Both Sides Are Good; This Kind of Back-and-Forth Is Expected’.
However, a couple of weeks later, Karun’s bat resorting to silence hasn’t helped his cause since his return to the Test fold after an eight-year exile. In three Tests, he has mustered up 131 runs at 21.83, while his compatriots have made the art of scoring a piece of cake.
Ravi Aswin YouTube Show
With India trailing 1-2 in the five-match affair and tottering in a must-win situation, fans and former cricketers have questioned whether he should continue with him or not in the fourth Test in Manchester, scheduled to begin on Wednesday. Despite all the noise, Ashwin isn’t willing to buy the narrative that Karun hasn’t played well and has struck “beautiful” runs throughout his limited stay at the crease.
“People are saying he would be dropped, but he has actually batted well. He has made elegant, poised and beautiful runs. He has looked in solid touch. It didn’t feel like he was hurried or under pressure,” Ashwin said on his YouTube channel Ash Ki Baat.
The manner of Karun’s dismissal has been a source of backlash. At Lord’s, he looked unperturbed while batting at 40, but gave away an unprecedented outside edge to Joe Root off England captain Ben Stokes. In the second innings, Karun was offered no clemency for his error of judgement. IND vs ENG 4th Test 2025: Harry Brook Says On-Field Tensions With India Have Worked in England’s Favour.
During India’s pursuit of a 193-run target, he misjudged Brydon Carse’s delivery and decided to offer no shot. The ball nipped sharply into him and pinned him right in front of the stumps. In the second Test, he got off to daunting starts but failed to materialise it into something impactful.
Ashwin dissected factors conspiring against Karun and suggested that it has been more mental than a technical fault or failure and said, “I have a feeling he is probably losing his concentration, or maybe that fear of failure in international cricket. In his mind, he will obviously want to score big runs.”
Even though there have been calls for Sai Sudharsan’s return to the number three spot, the former frontline spinner hopes Karun gets the remainder of the two Tests and then gets judged for his performances. He cited the example of former captain Virat Kohli, who was backed for India’s tour of Australia in 2011 to support his case. Ben Stokes, Brendon McCullum Inspect Old Trafford Pitch Ahead of IND vs ENG 4th Test 2025.
“I would dearly like to see him get all five matches. Then you decide whether he is good or not. If that is not the rule, then Sai should have played at number three. Give him the series. In Australia in 2011, Virat Kohli didn’t score runs in the three Tests. In Perth, he scored 70 and scored a century in Adelaide. After that hundred, he never looked back,” he added.

US tech giants Meta, X and LinkedIn have formally appealed against a groundbreaking VAT claim by Italy, setting the stage for what could become a defining legal battle over how digital services are taxed across the European Union.
The Reuters report, citing four sources with direct knowledge of the matter, highlighted that the companies filed their appeals with Italy’s first-instance tax court in mid-July after failing to reach a settlement with Italian tax authorities. The case is notable not only for its scale but also because it represents the first instance in which Italy has taken Big Tech to full trial proceedings, diverging from previous negotiations that typically concluded with settlements.
At the heart of the dispute lies Italy’s novel interpretation of value-added tax (VAT) rules. Authorities argue that the act of users registering for free access to platforms like Facebook, Instagram, X and LinkedIn should be considered taxable. The rationale is that in exchange for a membership account, users provide personal data, effectively constituting a transaction with economic value.
Should the Italian courts uphold this interpretation, it could have sweeping implications for companies far beyond social media, potentially including airlines, retailers, publishers, and any other business that offers digital access in exchange for user data or profiling consent.
The Italian Revenue Agency is seeking €887.6 million from Meta, €12.5 million from X, and approximately €140 million from LinkedIn. These claims were issued in March, with the companies’ response deadline passing in mid-July, prompting the formal appeals.
Meta said in a statement to Reuters that it had “cooperated fully with the authorities” but “strongly disagrees with the idea that providing access to online platforms to users should be subject to VAT”. LinkedIn said it had “nothing to share at this time”, while X has not responded to requests for comment.
Notably, the report also revealed that Italy is preparing to request an advisory opinion from the European Commission. Questions are expected to be formally submitted by the Economy Ministry to the EU’s VAT Committee, an independent, non-binding advisory body, by early November. A response could be forthcoming by spring 2026.

Though non-binding, a negative opinion from the committee could lead Italy to abandon the VAT claim and suspend related criminal investigations, insiders suggest.
Legal experts warn that the implications of Italy’s approach, if endorsed, could ripple across the 27-nation EU, where VAT rules are broadly harmonised. “It could rewrite the rulebook on what constitutes a taxable transaction in the digital economy,” one tax adviser said.
The broader dispute comes amid persistent tensions between US tech companies and European regulators. Earlier this month, Reuters reported that Meta will not adjust its controversial “pay-or-consent” data model, despite growing scrutiny from Brussels. Separately, the Financial Times revealed the European Commission has paused one of its probes into Elon Musk’s platform X, reportedly in an effort to preserve momentum in ongoing transatlantic trade talks.
Kiran Raj’s upcoming action-drama Jockey 42, directed by Guruthej Shetty will have Hrithika Srinivas as the female lead. The film, about jockeys, is currently galloping through its Bengaluru schedule, and promises to bring fresh energy to the racetrack genre.
Hrithika’s role in the film carries a blend of contrasts, modern sensibilities paired with a rooted, homely appeal. Known for her performance in Udala, Hrithika is currently wrapping up a Telugu project and is expected to join the Jockey 42 team shortly.
“It’s a character that holds its ground in a high-octane, male-dominated backdrop. There’s strength in her simplicity and spark in her modernity,” says a source close to the team.
Set against the fast-paced backdrop of horse racing, Jockey 42 is produced by Bharati Satyanarayan under the Golden Gate Studios banner. The film aims to explore the intensity behind the sport, layered with drama and suspense.
Vinod Yajamanya, known for his hit compositions in Telugu and Tamil cinema, is on board as the music director, and the film is expected to feature an ensemble cast that has actors from Kannada, Tamil, and Telugu industries.
Shares of Eternal Ltd (Zomato’s parent) rallied 15 per cent in early trade on Tuesday on strong Q1FY26 revenue, beating Street estimates. The rally was further supported by a wave of brokerage upgrades and increased target prices.
Its revenue from operations surged 70 per cent to ₹7,167 crore. However, it posted a net profit of ₹25 crore in the June quarter, down 90 per cent y-o-y.
Analysts remain broadly optimistic, citing long-term growth potential of Blinkit’s quick commerce (q-comm) business and stable food delivery segment.
Upgrades
Jefferies upgraded the stock from hold to buy at a higher target price of ₹400 per share. Citi has maintained a buy and Bernstein has retained an outperform rating at an increased target price of ₹320 each.
Motilal Oswal highlighted that Eternal’s core food delivery business remains stable and sees Blinkit as a “generational opportunity” for Eternal to disrupt traditional industries such as grocery, retail and e-commerce. The domestic brokerage reiterated buy at an increased target price of ₹330, highlighting Eternal’s Q1 revenue was up 70 per cent, above its estimates of 62 per cent y-o-y.
Motilal lowered FY26 and FY27 estimates by 14 and 18 per cent, respectively, factoring in continued dark store expansion and FY26 losses from newer initiatives such as Bistro (10-minute food delivery) and Nugget.
Emkay Global pointed out operational transitions in the quick commerce model. Eternal is expected to shift from a marketplace model to an inventory-led approach over the next 2–3 quarters. This move is projected to expand margins by approximately 100 bps, though it would require working capital support of around 18 days. Emkay also noted that management sees potential to nearly double store count from 1,544 to 3,000 across cities, supporting long-term scalability.
It believes Blinkit is capitalising well on the q-comm growth opportunity but expects EBITDA breakeven to remain some time away, given the current “landgrab” phase. Emkay has retained a buy rating at a revised target price of ₹330 from ₹290 earlier.
Nuvama praised Blinkit for “shining out on growth and profitability. The brokerage sees margin improvement ahead, supported by a shift to an inventory-led model, operating leverage and maturing dark stores. It has maintained a buy call at a raised target price of ₹320.
Meanwhile, Macquarie retained underperform rating at ₹150 target price per share.
Eternal stock traded 9.24 per cent higher at ₹296.25 on the BSE as at 10.37 am, hitting an intraday high of ₹311.60 against previous close of ₹271.20.
Its rival Swiggy also traded in positive range, up 3.19 per cent at ₹408.10.
The Cortez family piled out of their car and stretched their legs. Finally, after an hour and a half drive from their Long Beach home, they had made it to Little Tokyo — specifically, to One Piece Cafe.
“I was just sitting in the car like, ‘I’m going to be at the One Piece Cafe,’” said Cammy Cortez, who was introduced to the popular manga and anime franchise by her older brother and now runs a “One Piece” fan account on X. “It’s going to be a good day.”
Timed to the Los Angeles Anime Convention, the largest exposition dedicated to Japanese pop culture in North America, the new permanent restaurant is the second official location of One Piece Cafe, in collaboration with Toei Animation, from Andy Nguyen, a serial entrepreneur behind several themed restaurants. The first One Piece Cafe opened in Las Vegas in May 2024.
“One Piece” follows the adventures of protagonist Monkey D. Luffy, who dreams of becoming the Pirate King, and his band of Straw Hat Pirates as they seek the “One Piece” treasure. Fans of the anime have flocked to the Little Tokyo storefront, eager to try Japanese dishes inspired by “One Piece” characters like Sanji’s “Diable Jambe” Chicken Katsu Sando, with 24-hour brined chicken served on sweet honey milk bread, and Zoro’s Onigiri, in honor of the character’s love of rice and a nod to his precision as a swordsman.

The interior dons a nautical theme, with walls that mimic the wooden deck of a pirate ship and characters depicted inside portholes. Branded merchandise includes Luffy’s signature straw hat, themed key chains and even a “Wanted” license plate. Drinks, ranging from slushies to matcha horchata, come in collectible cups.
“It’s not [like] just they slapped the name ‘One Piece’ onto a random restaurant,” said customer Imelda Cardenas. “They really did it justice with the interior and the menu, and the merch they sell inside is really great too.”
Initially premiering in 1999, the “One Piece” anime has 1,136 episodes and counting, with ardent fans deeply immersed in the lore. The manga, by creator Eiichiro Oda, is the bestselling manga of all time. New audiences were also introduced to the franchise in 2023, when Netflix released a massively successful live-action rendition of the anime.
“If you’re a fan of ‘One Piece,’ then you think it’s the best anime of all time,” explained Karime Benmbarek, who came with his older brother Yassine from Northridge to experience the Little Tokyo restaurant. “Even if you’re just a chill fan, you still feel the love through the community.”

Restaurants themed around Japanese pop culture have recently gained footholds in L.A., with Gudetama Cafe and Hello Kitty and Friends Cafe — both within the Sanrio universe — opening in 2024. Local excitement for “One Piece,” however, seems to be approaching the mainstream. In June, the Los Angeles Dodgers hosted a One Piece Night, featuring a limited edition “One Piece” card drawn by Oda. The Los Angeles Lakers collaborated with “One Piece” for their February matchup against the Clippers; exclusive merch from the match now resells for up to $250.
“‘One Piece’ has a pretty big community, and especially with the Lakers and Dodgers collaborating with One Piece, L.A. is bringing anime into their culture as well,” said Yassine, who immediately alerted his younger brother after seeing a TikTok about the restaurant opening. The brothers bond over watching the show and, lured by the chicken katsu sandwich in particular, quickly made a plan to visit in person.
Karime, who tried the chicken katsu sandwich and curry, said, “I’d definitely come back — if my brother can take me.”

As anime, manga and other elements of Japanese pop culture have become mainstream, the understanding of Little Tokyo as a place where people can engage in those interests has also skyrocketed, said Kristin Fukushima, the executive director of Little Tokyo Community Council. This interest in Japanese subcultures — evidenced in the virality of One Piece Cafe — can have a positive impact on other small businesses in Little Tokyo.
After the Benmbarek brothers finished their meal, they planned to make a day of wandering through Little Tokyo. Another group of friends planned to hunt down a collectible in the nearby shops after visiting the restaurant.
“If you become more into anime and manga, that means you’re seeing depictions of not just culture, but also food,” Fukushima said. “So you have more people knowing what real ramen is versus the Maruchan instant ramen, or people who want real sushi and not just California rolls that they can buy in Ralphs.”
“I think it’s just a growing familiarity with what Little Tokyo has to offer,” she said. “Like, how do I further participate in this?”
The timing of One Piece Cafe’s opening comes as Little Tokyo is emerging from June’s ICE protests. Located minutes from City Hall and the Metropolitan Detention Center, Fukushima said many small business owners found themselves in a “lose-lose situation,” with images from the local news keeping people away from downtown out of fear.

Fans of “One Piece,” with its themes of friendship and freedom, are primed to be attuned to these tensions.
“I really like how ‘One Piece’ has a lot of nuanced messages about government powers and how oppressed people can come together,” said Daniel Orozco, who first learned about the restaurant at Anime Expo. “It’s really cool and especially relevant right now with everything going on politically.”
Cardenas started watching “One Piece” during the pandemic and quickly caught up by watching 12 episodes a day. Describing that time, she said, “Everything was really scary and uncertain, and people just wanted answers and a distraction.”
“There’s a message of hope in ‘One Piece’ because the protagonist Luffy wants to be the Pirate King, but underneath it all he’s just fighting for justice,” she said. “There’s a lot of symbolism that can be taken into the real world.”
One Piece Cafe is located at 241 S. San Pedro Street and open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
Anxiety and fear are closely related, although I would say that fear might bring about a stronger emotional response. For anyone who has experienced a panic attack, it can be extremely frightening. Some have described it as feeling like they were dying or having a heart attack. Thankfully, I haven’t experienced panic attacks to that degree, but I have had them, and they were still scary nonetheless. I used to get them a lot when I was making my 40-minute commute home from work. At the time, I wasn’t a believer and would just keep repeating to myself, “You’re okay. You’re okay” until it passed. On the rare occasions I have a panic attack now, I immediately cry out to the Lord. However, if I’m just in an anxious state, I don’t tend to cry out to God. Instead, I try to distract myself in an attempt to forget about what is making me anxious, but it doesn’t work. Maybe some of you can relate.
When we are experiencing anxiety due to certain circumstances, our body is reacting to our emotions. Unfortunately, this is a symptom of not trusting the Lord for that situation, and not immediately seeking Him for comfort. Just to clarify, for those who have an anxiety disorder, that is a whole other realm, and although prayer would certainly help, some need medical intervention, and that is nothing to be ashamed of.
The story of Jehoshaphat can teach us a lot about how to approach prayer when we are anxious or fearful: “Jehoshaphat was afraid and turned his attention to seek the Lord; and he proclaimed a period of fasting throughout Judah…and he said, ‘Lord, God of our fathers, are You not God in the heavens? And are You not ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in Your hand so that no one can stand against You. Did You not, our God, drive out the inhabitants of this land from Your people Israel, and give it to the descendants of Your friend Abraham forever? They have lived in it, and have built You a sanctuary in it for Your name, saying, “If disaster comes upon us, the sword, or judgment, or plague, or famine, we will stand before this house and before You (for Your name is in this house), and cry out to You in our distress, and You will hear and save us.” Now behold, the sons of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, whom You did not allow Israel to invade when they came out of the land of Egypt (for they turned aside from them and did not destroy them), see how they are rewarding us by coming to drive us out from Your possession which You have given us as an inheritance. Our God, will You not judge them? For we are powerless before this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are on You.’” 2 Chronicles 20:3-12
Let’s take a look at six approaches to prayer we can employ when anxious, as modeled above by Jehoshaphat:
“I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.” Psalm 34:4
Is seeking the Lord immediately your go-to response when you are feeling anxious about something? Sadly, I confess, it’s not always mine. There are certain instances where I will go to the Lord immediately, but I’d say a majority of the time, it’s a process to get to that point, which is more about me trying to figure things out rather than seeking the One who has it all figured out.
Why should we seek the Lord immediately? Because He has called us to. Time and time again, He tells us that He is “our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1). And we’ve all experienced that help! You know that incredible peace you feel when you seek the Lord with your whole heart and profoundly sense His presence. Yet, we are a forgetful people…
Let’s change that and ask the Holy Spirit daily to remind us to seek the Lord first, especially when we are anxious. He will indeed answer that prayer, and we will be on our way to a peace that surpasses all understanding.
2. Fast and Read the Word
Not everyone is able to fast from food. I’m one of those people. But for the purposes of dealing with anxiety, there is something I can fast from—distractions. I would say that I am not alone in seeking to distract myself, especially through social media with mindless scrolling, hoping to forget what is making me anxious.
What if, when we feel anxious, we fast from anything that we are using to disassociate from our situation and instead spend time in the Word, seeking our comfort and rest from Him? I can promise you that the Lord will speak life into your situation through His living Word, and you will feel the anxiety start to melt away.
I love how Jehoshaphat declared everything about God that was true related to his specific prayer request. It’s no different for you or me. There are attributes of God that you can declare over the situation that is making you anxious.
Acknowledging the attributes of God for your circumstances reminds you of who God is and what He is able to do. It takes the focus off of self and puts it squarely on the Lord. You can believe God when He says, “You need not fight in this battle; take your position, stand and watch the salvation of the Lord on your behalf, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow, go out to face them, for the Lord is with you” (2 Chronicles 20:17).
When we trust in who God is, our anxiety will shrink under the power of God’s might for that circumstance.
4. “Remind” God of What He Has Already Done for You
Throughout the Bible and including Jehoshaphat’s story, many would “remind” the Lord of what He had already done for them. This did not mean that the Lord had forgotten, but it’s more an exercise of remembering, declaring, and trusting that He absolutely will do it again.
When we “remind” the Lord of what He has done, we are, in essence, giving Him glory once again and strengthening our faith, which will decrease our anxiety.
Proclaiming God’s victory over the circumstances causing you anxiety is a powerful antidote. There are countless verses where God promises to be with us, strengthen us, protect us, and provide for us. How could we not proclaim God’s victory over what is causing us anxiety?
When we proclaim God’s victory over our circumstances, our anxious thoughts will cower!
6. Humble Yourself
“Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:6-7
This verse says it all. When we don’t seek the Lord with our anxiety, we are, in essence, saying we will handle it. Instead, we must humble ourselves, express our need to the Lord, and He and He alone will exalt us.
When we humble ourselves, that’s when the Lord does His greatest work because we are not muddying the situation with our own devices, but wholly depending on God. What freedom from anxiety will come when we do just that?
Let us remember that “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7). The power we have is to seek Him immediately with our anxious thoughts in humility, filling our minds with His Word, remembering who God is and what He has done.

A scientist studying caves found himself in a dangerous situation on Sunday.
While exploring the Abisso Paperino cave in Italy along with others, the explorer became trapped by falling rocks.
The 62-year-old speleologist was found over 130 feet below the surface with a head injury.

Of course, last year’s U8N was similarly potent, within the visual margin of error for most folks. It’s no small feat to push the brightness even further, but I would’ve preferred Hisense focus instead on some of the U8’s hang-ups, like poor off-axis viewing, a common issue with LED TVs, or its penchant for oversaturating reds.
That extra red tint was particularly noticeable in HD shows like Breaking Bad (yes, I’m rewatching for a third time) with the Warm1 color temperature, while Warm2 looked too cool. In one scene from Season 2, Jesse’s nuckles look positively painted red as he plays with a beetle. In another, a certain someone is looking for a funeral dress, pulling out a “blue” one that looks unequivocally violet on the U8QG—but proper blue (with some purple tint) on my LG C1 OLED.
The TV’s tendency to flatten shadow details is less of an issue, thanks to its mostly solid reflection handling and the ability to pep up dark areas with Peak Brightness or settings like Dark Detail. Scenes like the dark depths of Mandalor from The Mandalorian or the torturous hilltop shot from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows proved easy to zip up even in challenging environments.

The U8 also seems to have stepped up its picture processing this year. Image clarity can be hard to quantify, but the TV does a good job rendering sharp 4K images and upscaling HD video, while mostly minimizing moiré, the sort of glittering effect on fine patterns that can be a problem with budget-forward TVs. You’ll find solid motion response, especially with a touch of motion smoothing, and decent screen uniformity, too. My review model revealed only minor blotches in challenging test patterns and moving skylines.
Perhaps the U8QG’s biggest brag is that there just aren’t a lot of TVs that perform this well in its price tier, in multiple sizes (though performance between sizes will vary). TCL’s rival QM8, currently in our testing rooms, usually costs more, and prices go up from there for anything close to this level of brightness from premium brands, like Sony’s incredible Bravia 9 (9/10, WIRED Recommends). That could make the U8QG the default TV for brightness lovers on a budget, especially once the U8N is gone.
As usual, it all depends when you buy. Until recently, a 65-inch U8QG cost $1,500, on par with the QM8K and bougier OLED models from last year like the LG C4 (9/10, WIRED Recommends). The C4 is no nuclear titan, but it provides much better accuracy, clarity, off-axis performance, etc. At $1,000 or less, the U8QG is a lot friendlier, and well worth considering for those after eye-blasting brightness.
MNOGI proizvodi koje svakodnevno smatramo zdravima mogu zapravo štetiti našoj probavi, tvrdi gastroenterolog dr. Saurabh Sethi, koji je završio Harvard. Na TikToku ga prati više od milijun ljudi, a u jednom od svojih videa otkrio je koje “zdrave” namirnice on osobno izbjegava, jer sadrže skrivene šećere, umjetne dodatke i ulja koja mogu uzrokovati upale i narušiti crijevnu ravnotežu.
Energetske pločice i granola
Iako se često reklamiraju kao zdravi međuobroci, mnoge energetske pločice zapravo su slatkiši. “Pune su emulgatora, umjetnih vlakana i ulja sjemenki”, kaže dr. Sethi. Ti sastojci mogu oštetiti crijevnu sluznicu i poremetiti ravnotežu korisnih bakterija.
Granola također nije bezopasna, osobito ako sadrži dodatne šećere. “U nekim slučajevima je gora od deserta”, upozorava liječnik.
Zdrave alternative: šaka orašastih plodova, zobene pahuljice ili jogurt s borovnicama, malinama i chia sjemenkama.
Voćni jogurti i proizvodi “bez dodanog šećera”
Voćni jogurti često su puni dodanog šećera i umjetnih aroma, dok proizvodi s oznakom “bez dodanog šećera” mogu sadržavati sladila poput sorbitola, koji izazivaju nadutost, plinove i proljev.
Zdrava alternativa: običan grčki jogurt uz dodatak svježeg voća. Za svjež dah, žvakanje sjemenki komorača, koje pomažu probavi i bogate su mineralima.
Gotovi preljevi za salatu
Čak i preljevi koji se reklamiraju kao “zdravi” mogu biti puni štetnih ulja i šećera. Mnogi sadrže rafinirana ulja poput ulja soje, repice ili kukuruza, koja su povezana s razvojem upalnih procesa u tijelu.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Zdrava alternativa: preljev pripremljen kod kuće od maslinovog ulja, limunova soka, senfa i začina.
Za kuhanje dr. Sethi preporučuje zdravije masnoće poput avokadovog ulja, djevičanskog maslinovog ulja, gheeja ili kokosovog ulja.
Mlijeko i laktoza
Mlijeko može uzrokovati probavne tegobe kod osoba s intolerancijom na laktozu, poput nadutosti i nelagode.
Zdrava alternativa: kava s biljnim mlijekom, primjerice bademovim, ili s dodatkom cimeta.
Instant rezanci
Brzi za pripremu, ali loši za zdravlje. Instant rezanci puni su konzervansa i siromašni hranjivim tvarima, a njihovi sastojci mogu ozbiljno narušiti zdravlje crijeva.
Zdrava alternativa: domaća juha s rižinim rezancima i svježim povrćem.

Mumbai, July 21: Kristin Cabot, Chief People Officer of the tech firm Astronomer, has come to limelight after she was filmed in an affectionate moment with the company’s then CEO Andy Byron at a Coldplay concert in Boston’s Gillette Stadium. Along with Kristin Cabot, the “Boston Brahmins” have also become a talking point following the “kiss cam” moment controversy. Netizens are now curious about the term “Boston Brahmin”. “What are Boston Brahmins” is one of the most-searched terms on Google Trends.
Cabot is married to Andrew Cabot, a sixth-generation owner of Privateer Rum. The Cabot family, alongside the Lowells and other storied names, is regularly cited as a quintessential Boston Brahmin lineage. Their fortune was initially made in the business of “carbon black” for tire manufacturing and has since diversified into various sectors. Coldplay Kiss Cam Catches Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot, Company’s Chief People Officer in Intimate Embrace, Chris Martin Unknowingly Outs ‘Cheating Couple’ (Watch Viral Video).
What Are Boston Brahmins?
The term Boston Brahmin emerged in the mid‑19th century to describe Boston’s deeply entrenched upper‑class elite. They were descendants of early English settlers who wielded influence through wealth, education, and cultural prestige. Well-known family names include the Cabots, Lowells, Lodges, and Saltonstalls. These families, often known as the “First Families of Boston,” combined wealth, social status, and a deep sense of cultural obligation, helping to shape the city’s institutions—from Harvard University to the Boston Symphony Orchestra. The term was first coined in the 1860s, drawing on the Hindu “Brahmin” caste to mark these families’ social and cultural elite status. How Many Kids Astronomer CEO Andy Byron Have?

Origin of the Term Boston Brahmin
The term Boston Brahmin was first coined by physician and writer Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. in the early 1860s. He used the phrase “Brahmin Caste of New England” in a January 1860 article in The Atlantic Monthly, later echoed in his 1861 novel Elsie Venner. Holmes drew the analogy from the Brahmins—the highest priestly caste in India’s Hindu caste system, portraying Boston’s upper class as a sort of American hereditary aristocracy, renowned for their social refinement, culture and influence.
Who Were They?
Mostly white Anglo‑Saxon Protestants (WASPs), they hailed from families such as the Adamses, Cabots, Lowells, Forbes, and Cabots, many of whom trace their lineage to Puritan settlers and held seats at Harvard, held political office, and shaped civic institutions.
The Coldplay Kiss Cam Scandal
At a Coldplay concert in Boston’s Gillette Stadium in July 2025, a viral moment during the “kiss cam” segment caught widespread attention. The camera panned to Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot, who were filmed sharing an affectionate moment despite both being reportedly married to others. Coldplay’s frontman Chris Martin humorously commented on the couple as the incident unfolded, intensifying speculation and igniting a storm of memes and social media debate. Dubbed the “Coldplay Kiss Cam Scandal” or “ColdplayGate”, the event quickly escalated, leading to Byron’s resignation and Cabot being placed on leave.

STARIJI zlatni retriver Monk postao je prava internetska zvijezda nakon što su mu vlasnici ispunili veliku želju, darovali su mu bazen u dvorištu. Usred ljetnih vrućina, Monk sada ima savršeno mjesto za rashlađivanje, igru i druženje.
Ova luksuzna pseća oaza nije nastala preko noći. Zbog veličine bazena, morali su ga dopremiti i postaviti dizalicom. No trud se isplatio, čim je Monk prvi put zaplivao, bilo je jasno da mu je to najljepši dar u životu. Njegovo snježno bijelo lice i zlatno krzno u plavoj vodi prizor su koji dira srca gledatelja diljem svijeta.

Ljeto za pamćenje
Monk uistinu uživa, rado pliva, ali i odmara na stepenicama bazena sa svojim vlasnicima i drugim psom s kojim živi. Snimke pokazuju koliko je sretan i opušten, dokazujući da nikad nije kasno za nove užitke.
Zabavi nema kraja. Monk i njegov mlađi, razigrani brat često se glume morske pse, obojica nose simpatične prsluke za spašavanje s perajama. Dok mlađi pas neumorno juri za igračkama, Monk uživa u sporijem, smirenijem ritmu. U svakom slučaju, jasno je da su za njih dvojicu ljetni dani ispunjeni vodom, igrom i srećom.

Manchester, Jul 21: Having bowled the most amount of overs in the ongoing Test series against England, Mohammed Siraj is not overly bothered about workload management, a term used frequently in Indian cricket. Siraj is the only pacer in the Indian attack that has been part of all games thus far and if he has his way, the workhorse would be featuring in all five Tests. ‘I Don’t Know’ Mohammed Siraj Left Awestruck in IND vs ENG 4th Test 2025 Pre-Match Presser Following Blindsided Question On Cancellation of India vs Pakistan WCL Match (Watch Video).
The 31-year-old has bowled tirelessly in the series, rolling his arm for 109 overs. Jasprit Bumrah, who missed the second Test due to workload management, has bowled 86.4 overs, Prasidh Krishna 62 overs in two games and Akash Deep 72.1 overs in two games. “Thank God, I have been fit and healthy so far. Yes there is workload to be considered as per science and if you go by the book how many overs Siraj bowled would be mentioned there,” said Siraj, who has taken 13 wickets in the series including a six wicket haul at Edgbaston. “Having said that, my mindset is to get the best use of the opportunity and win games for India.”
Despite having the maximum workload, there was no let up in Siraj’s intensity during the training session on Monday. He bowled full tilt for an hour alongside Bumrah, Prasidh, Anshul Kamboj and Shardul Thakur.
Mohammed Siraj Reveals Secret to His Energy
What Is the Secret to His Energy?
“There’s no real secret. When you play for your country, that in itself is the biggest motivation. Representing the nation gives me all the energy I need. My only aim is to give 100% on the field so that when I go back and rest at night, I don’t have regrets like “I could’ve done this” or “I missed that.”
Hats Off to Ben Stokes
==============
Siraj lauded England captain Ben Stokes for bowling two very long spells on day five at the Lord’s where India fell short of the 193-run target by 22 runs. Stokes’ spells of 9.2 overs and 10 overs on either side of the lunch break couldn’t have gone unnoticed.
“There’s nothing wrong with learning from the opposition. When someone from the other side does well, it’s not shameful to acknowledge it. Stokes bowled a 10-over spell twice, which is not easy at all. “As a fast bowler hats off to him. The match was on a knife’s edge—could’ve gone either way—and the way he bowled was impressive. As bowlers, we always aim to perform and get wickets quickly for our team.”
Siraj is not the luckiest fast bowler around and he has made peace with that. A lot of times he doesn’t have much in the wickets column but Siraj has no regrets as long as he gives his everything on the field. “I’m bowling really well, but sometimes luck doesn’t favour you. Every bowler wants a wicket every time they bowl. I tell myself that even if I don’t get wickets today, I’ll get them in the next match.”
When asked if he feels that concentrating on line and length rather than going for extra pace can be helpful, he replied in negative. “Yes, sometimes that thought crosses my mind (in line and length), but if I change too much, I might leak runs. So I stick to my plan: keep hitting consistent areas. Even if I don’t get the wicket, maybe my pressure will help my bowling partner get one. That’s how bowling in partnership works.”
Did Not Feel I Would Get Out: Siraj on Lord’s Heartbreak
==================================
Siraj was on his haunches after his forward prod off a Shoaib Bashir delivery trickled onto the stumps and it did take a few days to recover from that immense disappointment. “It took a long time to get over. That match felt like we could’ve won. In 2021 too, we won on the last wicket. I’m very emotional. We fought hard—Jadeja did great, and even Bumrah bhai batted 54 balls. Still, we lost.”
“But I told myself: it’s 1-1 now, not over yet. That gave me motivation to do better, to focus more on my batting, especially overseas, where lower-order runs are crucial,” he said. There was plenty of heat from both teams in the Lord’s Test and Siraj expects that continue in the remaining two games.
“Yes, I think players need to sledge sometimes. It can disrupt a batter’s concentration. If he’s too defensive, maybe talking to him makes him try something different.”
“It’s not scripted, but yes, as a fast bowler, it’s fun when those mind games happen. Like Root ko bola last match mein ‘where is bazball?’. It is fun,” he said. ‘Jassi Bhai to Khelenge’ Mohammed Siraj Provides Update on Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep’s Availability in IND vs ENG 4th Test 2025 (Watch Video).
We Have to Adapt: Siraj on Dukes ball Going Soft Quickly
==================================
Dukes ball has attracted plenty of attention in the series with players criticizing its tendency to go soft and out of shape rather early. “Yes, back in 2021 tour, the ball was different. This time, the ball goes out of shape quickly—especially after 10 overs. When that happens, you can’t bowl with good backspin, which makes things harder as the shape is not proper. But we have to adapt. You won’t always get favourable conditions—you have to perform in tough situations too,” said the fighter in Siraj.

SBI’s Committee of Directors had approved ₹811.05 a equity share as the floor price for the QIP issue of fully paid-up equity shares of face value ₹1 each

State Bank of India (SBI) has raised ₹25,000 crore via qualified institutions placement (QIP) of equity shares at an issue price of ₹817 per equity shares.
Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) invested ₹5,000 crore in the QIP issue.
The QIP issue of about 30.60 crore equity shares of ₹1 each (including a premium of ₹816.00 per equity share) opened on 16th July and closed on 21st July.
The Committee of Directors of India’s largest bank, on Monday approved and finalised the confirmation of allocation note to be sent to the eligible QIBs (qualified institutional buyers).
SBI’s Committee of Directors, at its meeting held on July 16, had approved ₹811.05 a share as the floor price for the QIP issue.
LIC, in its regulatory filing, said post-QIP issuance, its stake in the bank has gone up to 9.49 per cent (from 9.20 per cent).
SBI’s shares on Monday closed at ₹824.20 apiece, up 0.11 per cent over the previous close on BSE.
SBI intends to utilise the net proceeds of the QIP issue towards augmenting its Tier-I capital base to meet future capital requirements to support growth plans and enhance the business.
Basel III norms
In accordance with the Basel III norms, as of March 31, 2025, the bank’s Tier I and total capital adequacy ratios were at 12.11 per cent (11.93 per cent as of March 31, 2024) and 14.25 per cent (14.28 per cent) respectively.
The SBI Act mandates that the Government of India’s shareholding in the bank cannot fall below 51 per cent.
“This requirement could result in restrictions in our equity capital raising efforts as the GoI (Government of India) may not be able to fund any further investments that would allow it simultaneously to maintain its stake at a minimum of 51,” SBI said in the QIP document.
The bank emphasised that in order to meet and sustain increasing levels of growth in capital demand, it will need to accrete its capital base, whether through organic growth or capital market financing schemes.
“If we are unable to grow our capital base in step with demand, our business, financial prospects and profitability may be materially and adversely affected.
“Further, the approval issued by the Department of Financial Services, Ministry of Finance, Government of India to our bank dated June 20, 2025 in relation to the issue, requires us to raise capital in such a way that GoI’s shareholding does not fall below 52 per cent,” the bank said.
As of March 31, 2025, the Government and public shareholding in SBI stood at 57.43 per cent and 42.57 per cent respectively.
Creating a space in your home specifically for prayer is a great way to stay connected during the busier times of life. When you are in this space, you are there for only one reason, and it’s a space you create, which means it will bring calmness and peace. Here are some ideas to help you create your special prayer space:
-Choose a space that is quiet and free from traffic. This could be a corner of a room, your closet, or even a finished basement or attic.
-Add soft lighting.
-If it won’t distract you, choose some soft background music.
-Choose candles in your favorite scents to burn.
-Privacy. Make sure you let your family know that when you are in this space, you are not to be disturbed.
-Add your essentials: Bible, prayer journal, Bible study resources, and devotional.
-Make it comfy. Don’t forget a kneeling pad, comfy chair, or a prayer bench to sit on. You may also want to add a surface to write on, like a small desk.
-Make it personal. Add scriptures, pictures, and other elements that inspire you.
Remember, prayer doesn’t have to be a long, drawn-out process. Don’t underestimate the power of short, spontaneous prayers. This is a great way to stay close to God throughout the day and also to pray for people on the spot.
6. Make Prayer Part of Your Family Life
In addition, prayer should be an important part of your family life. When families pray together, they are stronger both individually and as a unit. Here are some ideas for incorporating prayer into your family life:
-Pick one or two nights a week where you gather and pray.
-Post a whiteboard where family members can write their prayer requests.
-Go on a prayer walk and pray for different areas of your community. (Local businesses, first responders, and other areas you see that need prayer.)
-Make a blessing box where family members can write answers to prayer. Share those answers as a family once a week.
Polish archaeologists recently uncovered an elite knight’s burial in remarkable condition – all in the middle of a bustling tourist city.
The tomb was found in Gdańsk, Poland, a historic city revered for its colorful architecture and location on the scenic Motława River. The discovery was announced this month by Polish archaeology company ArcheoScan.
The knight’s grave was found beneath the former site of Lodziarnia Miś, a beloved ice cream parlor that once stood at the intersection of Sukiennicza and Grodzka streets.
VIKING-ERA BURIAL SITE WITH ELITE FAMILY TREASURES AND GIFTS DISCOVERED, PLUS AN ‘UNUSUAL CASKET’
Speaking to Fox News Digital, the organization said the area was once a 13th-century cemetery next to the remains of Gdańsk’s oldest known church. Both are located in the city’s historic center, known as Śródmieście.
“This church was built of oak wood cut down in 1140, based on dendrochronological dating,” the organization said. “It is currently recognized as the oldest wooden church ever identified in Poland.”

The tombstone, dating to the late 13th or 14th century, was buried in an early medieval stronghold within the city. Archaeologists said the site was a “key place of power, faith and burial” in medieval Gdańsk.
The tomb likely belonged to an elite knight, having been made from limestone imported from the Swedish island of Gotland. The grave’s carvings were also skillfully crafted, suggesting a high-quality artisan produced the tombstone.
“Figural tombstones showing full-length armored figures are rare in Poland, especially from the 13th–14th centuries.”
Pictures of the discovery show the faint image of a male figure standing upright wearing full chainmail armor and leggings.
MYSTERIOUS ‘DUMPED’ BODIES OF WOMAN AND CHILD FOUND BY ARCHAEOLOGISTS IN PICTURESQUE TOWN
“He holds a sword and shield [in the image],” ArcheoScans noted.
“Despite some damage, the head, left foot and many details of the armor and weapons remain visible.”
Despite its fragile limestone composition, the knight’s tombstone retained striking detail after centuries underground, including chainmail details.(Sylwia Kurzyńska / ArcheoScan)
Although limestone is very fragile, ArcheoScan said the tombstone weathered the centuries well.
“The tombstone is surprisingly well-preserved, considering it was made from soft limestone and buried for centuries,” the organization added. “The carved figure, armor and shield are still visible.”

It also noted, “Tombstones like this were very rare in Poland at the time and were typically made for important people. However, there is no evidence linking the figure to the Teutonic Order, and no inscriptions confirm that connection.”
During the excavation, archaeologists carefully lifted the tomb slab and uncovered the knight’s complete skeleton. An initial examination showed that the warrior stood between 5’5″ and 5’9″ tall, which was above average for the time.
The excavation site, known as Śródmieście, is considered the most archaeologically significant area in Gdańsk, Poland.(Sylwia Kurzyńska / ArcheoScan)
“The bones were found in anatomical alignment, confirming the tombstone marked the actual burial site,” ArcheoScan added. “The skeleton is well-preserved, although no grave goods were found in association with the body.”
Experts hope to conduct additional research, including genetic analyses to determine the knight’s age at death, as well as his health history.

Further isotopic analysis may shed light on his lifestyle and diet, along with any other possible links to other burials.
“Together, the tombstone, the church, and the cemetery help tell a rich and layered story of early medieval Gdańsk.”
Archaeologists also plan to conduct a facial reconstruction.
ArcheoScan stressed that the discovery is “one of the most important archaeological finds in Poland in recent years,” shedding light on burial customs as well as medieval symbolism.

WIRED reviewer Adrienne So has tested many pizza ovens and made more than a thousand pizzas over the past seven years. WIRED reviewer Matthew Korfhage is a longtime food writer who’s written about pizza on both coasts over 15 years, from sausage slices in Portland to the story of Mexican pizza in Philadelphia.
We test each pizza oven over the course of a few weeks, using homemade dough (Adrienne likes Ooni’s classic pizza dough recipe), fresh dough procured from local pizzerias, store-bought fresh dough, and frozen pizzas. We use infrared thermometers to make sure the temperature of the cooking surface is consistent (and is what the built-in thermometer says it is). Where relevant, we also cross-check built-in thermometers on each oven against our own ambient thermometers.
Pizza ovens are also quite a bit more versatile than you might think. Over years of testing, Adrienne has used her pizza ovens to sear steaks, quick-cook salmon, and pan-fry broccoli. Matthew has air fried wings in a pizza oven, grilled pork chops, charred asparagus, and blackened chicken.
It’s taken me many years, and many thousands of pizzas, to refine my pizza-making technique. And to be honest, my Neapolitan-style pizzas don’t really meet the standard set by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, the world authority on Neapolitan pizzas. (Ooni pizza ovens, including previous models of our top-rated Karu 2, are the only models we recommend that the AVPN has also recommended.)
But over the years, I have accumulated a few tips for those of you who find making a pizza to be a little bit awkward or intimidating. If you’ve refrigerated your dough, bring it to room temperature first. Sprinkle flour or cornmeal generously on the peel before you assemble your pizza. Be patient and stretch it from the inside out. It is cheating, but I also am guilty of using a tiny rolling pin ($10) to help me get the dough as thin as possible.
An authentic Neapolitan pie will use a few specific ingredients. When you’re making your own dough, reach for 00 flour, which is milled specifically for pizza and pasta. Fresh mozzarella will make your pizza damp, so I use a mix of fresh and shredded, low-moisture cheese for the cheesiest, meltiest pie. If you’re not sticking to a strictly Neapolitan recipe, we also have a few favorite pies we’d like to recommend. Cizmar and I like a good Buffalo pie with Frank’s Red Hot and pickles. I also recently tried Brightland’s Pizza Oil in a squeeze bottle; while it’s good as a finishing sauce to drizzle over pies, you could make your own for much cheaper by putting olive oil and herbs in a squeeze bottle.
Pizza ovens are more versatile than you might think: I cook everything from salmon to steak to chicken thighs in mine by preheating a cast iron pan in a hot oven and popping the food right in. For more guidance, Ooni has a cookbook; chef Francis Mallman’s books are also a good source of inspiration. —Adrienne So
Is your patio already occupied by a giant Traeger? Your grill or smoker probably has a pizza attachment that you can buy for less than a new oven. Senior director Martin Cizmar’s favorite is the Yoder Smoker wood-fired oven attachment ($499), which has saved him from many a night of pellet fire flameouts. It sits under the smoker’s hood, atop a steel sheet that sits over the firebox. The sheet is a diffuser and has holes of increasing size as you move away from the fire so that the section farthest from the flame gets more exposure. The design provides a consistent temperature along the oven’s floor, and it works well, with the farthest corners of the oven still cresting 650 degrees Fahrenheit.
You can also turn your normal, indoor oven into a pizza oven. While most ovens max out at 500 degrees Fahrenheit, one way to impart more heat to your pizza is by pre-heating a baking surface with a high thermal mass—which will maintain temperature stability and directly deliver its stored-up heat energy. An easy way to do this is by pre-heating a cast-iron pan or baking steel. A classic Lloyd pan is one preferred tool for Detroit- or Sicilian-style pan pizza, which work well in conventional ovens.
Several of our favorite grill and pizza oven manufacturers, like Kamado and Weber, also make ceramic pizza stones. Check out our guide to the Best Portable Grills and Grill Accessories for more.
Honorable Mentions
We’ve tried a lot of pizza ovens. Here are a few that we liked that didn’t quite make the cut.

Ooni Karu, First Edition for $349: Ooni is still selling the previous generation oven of WIRED’s top pick, the Karu 2, for about $100 less. Like other Ooni pizza ovens, O.G. Karu is an excellent oven—light, portable, and easy to clean—and WIRED reviewer Adrienne So couldn’t stop using the thing after first testing it. Nonetheless the newer Karu 2 heats more evenly, and holds more fuel than the first-generation oven.
Ooni Koda 12 for $399: The original Ooni Koda 12 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is a mere 21 pounds, making it the most light and portable Koda. Its thin, powder-coated steel shell insulates well enough that it remains cool to the touch, even when the fire is burning. Just slide in the baking stone, screw on the propane tank, and you’re ready to go. The door fits 12-inch pizza peels and 10-inch cast-iron skillets. However, you should not store it outside.
Gozney Roccbox for $499: When Adrienne So first reviewed the dual-fuel Gozney Roccbox (5/10, WIRED Review), she praised the fast recovery time that has made the Roccbox popular among pizza pop-up chefs, allowing her to make 10 pies in less than 30 minutes when cooking pizza with propane. That said, few home pizza makers need such throughput, and the 44-pound device is heavier than other competitors. The optional woodbox was oppressively difficult to use, for those who want the ability to cook with fire. But the Gozney’s price, previously among the most expensive entrants, now seems pretty reasonable.
Ninja Wood-Fired Oven for $300: If you’re looking for a remarkably sturdy and versatile outdoor oven, this is a pretty good pick with a top temperature of 700 degrees. The door is a little sticky which makes baking pizza at high heat a little tricky, but if you want one device that can do everything from smoke a pork shoulder to make muffins to bake a pizza pie, this is your pick.
The Piezano for $99: This TikTok-popular oven is affordable, small, and convenient. It looks a little like a waffle iron, and comes with handy double paddles for easier placement. Astonishingly, its claims of heating the top and bottom elements to 800 degrees Fahrenheit are accurate, and it takes about 15 minutes, which allows for short cook times. But note the heating element at the top doesn’t cover the whole surface area, so you have to rotate your pies pretty frequently. Also, opening the top like a waffle maker means that it doesn’t retain heat very well. It dropped by 100 to 200 degrees between pies and requires a bit of recovery time.
Also Tested

Current Backyard Model P for $699: No less a TV food personage than Alton Brown has signed on as an endorser of this 1,750-watt electric indoor/outdoor pizza oven, which will heat to 850 degrees Fahrenheit using a standard power outlet. Heat is relatively even across the oven, and it’ll get up to top temp in around 30 minutes. But cook settings are constrained to a few preset levels (New-York style, thin crust, Neapolitan, frozen), whose temps and cooking times can be a bit fussy to fiddle with: At least during early months, the app and on-device controls tend to offer more quirks than functionality. Display temp and actual temp don’t always match, and its top thermal elements turn on and off like the lights in a David Lynch movie according towhat the company calls a proprietary algorithm. You can make a great pizza on this thing, and you can make it indoors. Current says it plans to add more functions and cooking modes in future updates, and we’ll keep testing. But it feels less than fully baked at the moment, especially at its price.
Pizzacraft Pizzaque for $130: This oven is adorable and affordable, and you can stand it in your driveway and cook a good pizza while sitting in your camp chair. However, it just doesn’t get as hot or cook as evenly as a better-insulated oven does.
The Best Accessories
Some pizza ovens provide you with proprietary accessories to set you on your pizza path. But I’ve also found a few extras to be helpful along the way:
A handheld infrared thermometer for $47: Even if the oven has a built-in thermometer, a handheld infrared thermometer is a great way to check the temperature on different areas of the pizza stone. It’s also important to make sure the stone has time to reheat after each pizza.
A wooden pizza peel for $34: If you own multiple peels, it’s quick and easy to prep one pizza while another is baking. WIRED reviewers Adrienne So and Matthew Korfhage each own several peels, including a useful small turning peel. But for launching, the dough is much less likely to stick on a wooden peel, especially if you first sprinkle on some semolina or flour.
A cast-iron skillet for $25: You can also use a cast-iron pan in your pizza oven to sear steaks or pan-roast broccoli. Lodge’s pans work just as well as much more expensive options.
Heat-resistant gloves for $20: That cast iron gets extremely hot, so you’ll also need a good pair of mitts. (Even these won’t protect your hands for long, so you’ll need a place near the oven to set the pan down.)
Fire starters for $20: If you’ve ever been intimidated by the idea of cooking with wood, don’t be! These fire starters make it quick and simple. Just light the end with a match, drop it in the fuel tray, and line up a few oak sticks on top. Be sure to keep your wood dry if you don’t want to create a smoke stack in your backyard.
*Horoskopske preporuke i savjete ne treba shvaćati naročito ozbiljno, a za sve indikacije i nuspojave obratite se obližnjem znanstveniku.
Neki ljudi izgledaju snažno, stabilno i samopouzdano. O njima se govori kao o osloncu, stijeni, onima koji “uvijek znaju što treba”. No upravo ti ljudi često nose terete koje nikome ne pokazuju. Emocionalni umor kod njih ne dolazi naglo, on se gomila, tiho, godinama. I tek kad se iscrpljenost prelije u tijelo, odnose ili tišinu, okolina shvati koliko su zapravo umorni.
Jarac je simbol izdržljivosti. Njegova unutarnja disciplina i osjećaj odgovornosti često ga guraju preko granica koje bi drugi odavno napustili. On neće reći da mu je teško, radije će sve obaviti sam. No taj tihi perfekcionizam, osjećaj da mora biti jak za sve, često dovodi do emocionalne otupljenosti. Jarac se nosi s preopterećenjem tako da ga racionalizira, sve dok ne izgori.

Škorpion djeluje hladno, sabrano, nedodirljivo, ali iznutra je često emocionalno preopterećen. On ne traži pomoć jer vjeruje da nitko ne može razumjeti dubinu njegovih osjećaja. Škorpion sve zadržava u sebi: sumnje, razočaranja, unutarnje konflikte. Često nosi tuđe emocije, a da to ne pokazuje. Njegov emocionalni umor ne dolazi od količine posla, već od količine tišine koju nosi.
Bik voli sigurnost i stabilnost, ali upravo ta potreba može ga zadržati u okolnostima koje su ga odavno iscrpile. On šuti, trpi, pokušava održati mir. Rijetko pokazuje koliko je umoran jer vjeruje da se ne smije žaliti. Bik često pruža više nego što dobiva, iako to ne traži naglas. No njegova unutarnja tišina ponekad preraste u emocionalnu tišinu, onu koja boli, ali se ne vidi.
Za ove znakove važno je da nauče stati prije nego što pregore. Da shvate kako snaga ne znači uvijek šutnju i da ne moraju nositi sve, pogotovo ne sami. Emocionalni odmor ne dolazi samo kroz fizičku pauzu, već kroz dopuštenje da ne moraju uvijek biti jaki.

NA INTERNETU se često mogu vidjeti slični ljubimci – crne mačke koje kao da su klonirane ili pasmine poput samojeda koje je lako prepoznati. No povremeno se pojavi životinja koja je doista posebna. Takav je i Bilbo Baggins, mačić koji je postao hit na TikToku zahvaljujući svojem neobičnom izgledu.
Ovaj mačić škotskog folda, kojeg vlasnica od milja zove Billy, privukao je pozornost korisnika društvenih mreža čim je 15. srpnja osvanuo na profilu @billybillbaggins. Njegove preklopljene uši, krupne plave oči i ružičast nos potaknuli su brojne komentare u kojima su ga mnogi odmah usporedili sa psićem.

Preslatki hibrid?
Iako je 100% mačka, Billy izgledom podsjeća na psića, posebno zbog ušiju, ali i zbog izraza lica koji zbunjuje. Neki pretpostavljaju da Billy ima obilježja orijentalne kratkodlake mačke, zbog čega mu lice izgleda izduženije. No njegovo točno podrijetlo još je nepoznanica.

NIKE uskoro lansira novu verziju Air Max Muse tenisica pod nazivom Bruce Lee koja predstavlja posvetu legendarnom majstoru borilačkih vještina. Iako se ne radi o službenoj suradnji, inspiracija Bruceom Leejem je očita, počevši od prepoznatljive palete boja koje podsjećaju na njegov legendarni žuti kombinezon iz filma Game of Death.
Gornji dio tenisica kombinira crnu mrežastu tkaninu s upadljivim žutim panelima visokog sjaja, dok jarko crveni detalji dodatno naglašavaju područje pete i ovratnika. Efektna kombinacija boja daje tenisicama snažan vizualni identitet, ujedno prenoseći duh akcije i energije koji se veže uz Brucea Leeja.

Mumbai, July 21: The India A men’s hockey team ended its campaign in the Europe tour with a 2-8 loss against the Netherlands here. Young Indian midfielder Rajinder Singh and forward Selvam Karthi scored the two goals for India A in the final match on Sunday. India A had lost their previous game against the Netherlands 0-3 last week. India A began the tour on July 8 and played a total of eight matches against five European teams. India A Men’s Hockey Team Suffers 1–3 Defeat Against Belgium in European Tour.
India A played against, Ireland, France, England, Belgium and the Netherlands during this exposure tour and won three of their eight matches. The team travelled across three cities to compete against some of the top teams in the sport, including world number 1 Netherlands and world number 3 Belgium.
Talking about the overall experience, India A coach Shivendra Singh said, “While we might have had more losses than wins during this European Tour, it was never about the results and more about learning and experience we gained from this tour as a team.” India A Men’s Hockey Team Lose 2–3 to England Despite Uttam Singh’s Goal.
He added, “We had a mix of senior and junior players as part India A, and they gained very valuable experience during the past two weeks. As we head back to India, I am confident that all these players will use this valuable experience and incorporate it to better their game for all their future matches.”

Apple brought a lot of much-awaited changes to the iPad lineup with the M4 iPad Pro, and if a new report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman is to be believed, there is more exciting news for Apple fans to be hyped about for the upcoming tablet.
Reportedly, Apple is making major changes to the selfie camera on the iPad Pro this year. The Cupertino-based tech giant could be adding a second portrait sensor to the latest iPad Pro alongside the existing landscape lens.
Why, you ask, could Apple be considering this change? Well, some users weren’t particularly happy when the tech giant decided to switch the selfie camera from the top of the iPad to the side, as it made it awkward for users who used the device for video calls or FaceTime in portrait mode.
Since Apple only changed the orientation last year, the company would not want to reverse course this year, and the addition of a portrait lens alongside the landscape one should potentially help Apple assuage both sides of the selfie camera debate.
Not a lot is known about the M5 iPad Pro apart from the fact that it is likely to be powered by the latest silicon from Apple. In fact, the iPad Pro could be the first Apple device to be powered by the M5 chipset, with the first M5-powered MacBooks likely to launch in the first half of 2026.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had suggested last year that the iPad Pro with the M5 chip could enter mass production in the first half of 2025. The M4 chip-powered iPad Pro was launched in May 2024, and with Apple’s history of updating its iPad Pro models every 18 months or so, the newer models are likely to launch sometime around September or October this year.
Prior to that launch, however, Apple will hold its annual iPhone launch event in September where the tech giant is expected to unveil the iPhone 17 series with four models: iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Actor and racer Ajith Kumar crashed his car and escaped unhurt at the GT4 European Series race held in Italy. The incident took place at the Misano track in the second round of the series.
The official X (formerly Twitter) page of GT4 European Series posted a video of the aftermath of Ajith’s car crash. He had collided with a stationary car on the track but he did not sustain any injuries. Posting the video, they wrote, “Out of the race with damage, but still happy to help with the clean-up. Full respect, Ajith Kumar.” Ajith can be seen standing near his car and surveying the debris.

Jio Financial Services Limited (JFSL) shares traded higher at ₹317.40, up 0.17 per cent, following the announcement of a 50:50 reinsurance joint venture with German insurance giant Allianz Group. The stock opened at ₹318.20 and touched a high of ₹318.75 during Monday’s morning trading session.
The binding agreement, announced on Friday, will see JFSL partner with Allianz Europe BV to establish a domestic reinsurance joint venture targeting India’s rapidly growing insurance market. The venture aims to leverage JFSL’s local market expertise and digital infrastructure with Allianz’s global underwriting and reinsurance capabilities built over 25 years of operations in India.
The reinsurance JV will utilize Allianz’s existing Allianz Re and Allianz Commercial portfolios, providing Indian insurers with enhanced risk management capabilities and competitive capacity. Operations are expected to commence after receiving statutory and regulatory approvals.
Additionally, both companies signed a non-binding agreement to explore equally-owned joint ventures in general and life insurance businesses. The partnership aligns with India’s national vision of “Insurance for All by 2047” and targets the country’s expanding middle class and growing insurance demand.
JFSL, with a market capitalisation of ₹2,01,649 crores, operates through various subsidiaries including Jio Credit, Jio Insurance Broking, and Jio Payments Bank. The company has previously partnered with BlackRock for asset management services in India.
This recipe is my version of a stew or caldo from my dad’s home state of Durango, Mexico. My dad would make a modified version of this at our house where he substituted chile pasado with roasted chile poblano. This was something he would cook up after work for us, at home after my mom passed away. Whenever I cook that or make that or eat that, it reminds me of that time so vividly.
Here I’ve kept it very simple. It’s excellent with flour tortillas and also makes killer burritos.
The Bible teaches us that the original apostles of Jesus were Peter, James, John, Andrew, Philip, Judas Iscariot, Matthew, Thomas, James, the son of Alpheus, Bartholomew, Judas Thaddeus, and Simon Zelotes. Among these were fishermen during the time of calling, i.e., Peter, James, John, and Andrew.
It was at this time that He went off to the mountain to pray, and He spent the whole night in prayer to God. And when day came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also named apostles. (Luke 6:12-13)
Twelve men responded to the call to be disciples of Jesus. They were Jews, uneducated commoners, and simple men of faith who gave up everything to be followers of Christ. Jesus spent three years training these men to be leaders. Jesus planned to eventually have the disciples take over and carry on the work He had started.
What we know to be true about Jesus is that He chose ordinary and unrefined men to be his apostles. They were the commonest of the common. They were from rural areas, farmers, and fishermen. Christ purposely passed over the elite, aristocratic, and influential men of society and chose mostly the men from the dregs of society. That’s how it has always been in God’s economy. He exalts the humble and lays low on those who are proud.
Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed Him. (Matthew 10:2-4)
Now that we know their names let’s take a deeper look at the life story of each disciple.
Although the disciples were different, they were known for their unwavering faith when the Early Church began. Need to strengthen your faith in this season? Download our FREE 30-day guide to grow your faith today.
And He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” (Matthew 4:19)
Peter and Andrew–Sons of John, were born in Bethsaida. They later settled in a home together in the town of Capernaum. They were fisherman and worked alongside James and John. They were companions and had probably known each other for years.
Peter and Andrew were early followers of John the Baptist. It was Andrew who first introduced his older brother Peter to Jesus when they were in the wilderness with John. (John 1:40-42) It is thought that they became spiritual followers of Jesus at this time. Once Peter was introduced to Jesus they left John and became followers of Christ.

1. Peter
Also known as Simon, Simon Peter, or Cephas (Rock), Peter was a gregarious, natural leader, and an obvious spokesperson for the twelve. Peter’s name is mentioned far more in the New Testament than any other of the disciples. He was the older of the two brothers and the only married disciple. (Luke 4:38) His wife was known to travel with him when he was on mission. (1 Cor. 9:5) His assignment was to bring the Gospel to the circumcised. (Gal. 2:7)
Peter is well known for denying Christ three times after Christ was arrested. After his own arrest many years later he requested to be crucified with his head down. He didn’t believe he was worthy to be crucified in the same manner as his Lord. He died a martyr’s death in Rome during the reign of Nero. Some speculate around the same time as Paul was being beheaded.

2. Andrew
An early disciple of John the Baptist, Andrew, and John, the Son of Zebedee were present when John the Baptist said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!” (John 1:35) Andrew was the first to follow Jesus and his enthusiasm was evident as his desire to introduce his older brother to Jesus revealed what was already in his heart—a deep love for God.
He was not a dominant person next to his outspoken brother. He was a passionate preacher and shared the gospel boldly and was a significant contributor to the early church.
Andrew died a martyr’s death. He faced crucifixion with boldness and courage. He said, “Oh, cross most welcome and longed for! With a willing mind, joyfully and desirously, I come to you, being a scholar of Him which did hang on you, because I have always been your lover and yearn to embrace you.”

James and John—Sons of Zebedee
There is some evidence that Zebedee was a man of affluence. He was able to hire enough servants to help with his fishing business. (Mark1:20). In Scripture, James is listed before his younger brother John, yet he remains somewhat obscure except for the fact he is part of Jesus’ inner three. John is much more in the forefront of what is happening during the three years of training with Christ. James and John were both known for being men of intense passion and fervor. Because of this Jesus nicknamed them the Sons of Thunder. (Mark 3:17)

3. James
James is the elder brother of John. He is a rather quiet part of the team of disciples in that we don’t read much about him in Scripture. As part of Jesus’ “inner three” he was permitted to be present along with Peter and John when Jesus raised Jairus’ daughter from the dead (Mark 5:37), he witnessed Jesus’ transfiguration on the Mount of Olives (Matthew 17:1), and he was in the Garden of Gethsemane with Jesus. (Mark 14:33)
James was the first disciple to be martyred (he was beheaded) and the only disciple to have their martyrdom recorded in Scripture. (Acts 12:1-3)

4. John
Known as the “disciple Jesus loved,” he was also a part of the inner three. (John 3:23) He wrote a large portion of the New Testament—The book of John, 1, 2, and 3 John, and the book of Revelation. He wrote more about love than any other New Testament author. His close proximity to Jesus taught him much about love.
He was exiled to the island of Patmos under Domitian, but after his death, John was allowed to return to Ephesus where he governed churches in Asia until his death at about A.D. 100.

5. Philip
“The next day He purposed to go into Galilee, and He found Philip. And Jesus said to him, Follow Me.” (John 1:43)
What do we know about Philip? Almost nothing. Although a Jew, we only know him by his Greek name, Philip. A heart for evangelism, he was anxious to tell Nathanael the One foretold by Moses and the prophets had been found. (John 1:45) They were close companions and possibly studied the Old Testament together.
Philip was stoned and crucified in Hierapolis, Phrygia.

6. Nathanael
Also known as Bartholomew, Nathanael came from Cana in Galilee. (John 21:2) He expressed some local prejudice about Nazareth. (John 1:46) Jesus recognized how sincerely his love for God was from the beginning when He said, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!” (John 1:47)
Nathanael may have preached in India and translated the book of Matthew into their language. He was beaten, crucified, and beheaded. He died as a martyr while serving the people of Albinopolis, Armenia.

7. Matthew
Levi, the Son of Alphaeus, Matthew was a tax collector–the most despised people in all of Israel. They were known for taking extra money from the people of Israel to pay off the Romans and to pad their own pockets.
Then it happened that as Jesus was reclining at the table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were dining with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many of them, and they were following Him. When the scribes of the Pharisee’s saw that He was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they said to His disciples, Why is he eating and drinking with tax collectors and sinners? And hearing this, Jesus said to them, It is not those who are healthy that need a physician, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners. (Mark 2:16)
As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man called Matthew, sitting in the tax collector’s booth; and He said to him, Follow Me! And he got up and followed Him. (Matthew 9:9)
Matthew brought the gospel to Ethiopia and Egypt. Hircanus the king had him killed with a spear.

8. Thomas
Usually nicknamed “Doubting Thomas,” Thomas was also called Didymus, meaning The Twin (although a twin brother or sister is never mentioned in the Bible.) He was an outspoken skeptic to the point of being known as a pessimist. No details are given about Thomas in the first three Gospels other than the mention of his name. John’s first mention of Thomas is in John 11:16. Lazarus had died and the disciples feared for the life of Jesus and themselves if they were to go back to Bethany. Thomas speaks up. “Let us also go, that we may die with Him.” (John 11:16 NASB) Here we see the character quality of courage and loyalty to Christ, a quality not often attributed to Thomas.
His devotion to Christ is further displayed when Jesus told the disciples that He was going to go away and prepare a place for them. “And you know the way where I am going. Thomas said to Him, Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?” (John 14:4-5) Thomas didn’t want to be left behind. And then Thomas’ love for Jesus and his desire to see and touch before he believed and then his declaration, “My Lord and My God!” (John 20:28)
Tradition strongly suggests that Thomas started the Christian church in India. Some suggest being run through by a spear killed him, ironically, similar to Jesus being pierced by a spear.

9. James the Less
He is the son of Alphaeus (Luke 6:15). His mother’s name is Mary (Mark 15:40) and he has a brother named Joseph (Matthew 27:56). Except for a few details about his family, there is nothing more mentioned about him in Scripture. Maybe this is why he is referred to as James the Less in Mark 15:40. What is important to remember is although James was somewhat in the background, he was chosen by Jesus to be one of the twelve disciples. He was trained and used by Christ in a powerful way to further the Kingdom of God. He was a valuable team member.
Tradition says he was crucified in Sinai or possibly stoned to death in Jerusalem.

10. Simon the Zealot
Simon was probably a political activist in his younger years. Why would Jesus choose someone with this background?
“It is amazing that Jesus would select a man like Simon to be an apostle. But he was a man of fierce loyalties, amazing passion, courage, and zeal. Simon had believed the truth and embraced Christ as his Lord. The fiery enthusiasm he once had for Israel was now expressed in his devotion to Christ.” –Twelve Ordinary Men
There is some speculation about what happened to Simon. Tradition says that after preaching on the west coast of Africa, Simon went to England where he ended up being crucified in 74 AD.

11. Judas, son of James
The eleventh name on the list of disciples is Judas. Also known as Jude, Thaddeus, and Lebbaeus, Judas lived in obscurity as one of the Twelve. He did ask Jesus a question in John 14:22, “Lord, why are you going to reveal yourself only to us and not to the world at large?” Judas seemed overly concerned with this question. Christ responded by saying He would reveal Himself to anyone who loved Him.
Most early tradition says that Judas, son of James, a few years after Pentecost, took the gospel north to Edessa. There he healed the King of Edessa, Abgar. Eusebius the historian said the archives at Edessa contained the visit of Judas and the healing of Abgar (the records have now been destroyed). The traditional symbol of Judas is a club and tradition says he was clubbed to death for his faith.

12. Judas Iscariot
Jesus answered them, “Did I Myself not choose you, the twelve, and yet one of you is a devil?” Now He meant Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the twelve, was going to betray Him. (John 6:70-71)
The Traitor. Nothing is known about Judas’ background. His encounter and call by Jesus is not recorded in Scripture. He was not from Galilee–that much is known. He obviously became a follower and stayed with Jesus for three years. He gave Christ three years of his life, but he certainly didn’t give Him his heart, and Jesus knew this. Judas betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. (Matthew 26:15)
“The other eleven apostles are all great encouragements to us because they exemplify how common people with typical failings can be used by God in uncommon, remarkable ways. Judas, on the other hand, stands as a warning about the evil potential of spiritual carelessness, squandered opportunity, sinful lusts, and hardness of the heart. Here was a man who drew as close to the Savior as it is humanly possible to be. He enjoyed every privilege Christ affords. He was intimately familiar with everything Jesus taught. Yet he remained in unbelief and went into a hopeless eternity.” Twelve Ordinary Men

Caligula, the ancient Roman emperor infamous for his insanity and cruelty, may have had a soft spot for plants, according to recently published research.
A new study co-authored by Trevor Luke, a professor of classics at Florida State University, centers on an overlooked anecdote by the Roman historian Suetonius involving Caligula and an ailing senator.
The account indicates that the unnamed Roman senator traveled to the Greek town of Antikyra to be treated with the medicinal plant hellebore, which is now considered poisonous. Though the treatments werenot necessarily expensive, reaching Antikyra – and staying there – was.
ANCIENT ROMAN ‘PERFUME GARDEN’ BLOOMS AGAIN NEARLY 1,900 YEARS AFTER VESUVIUS ERUPTION
When the senator asked Caligula if he could stay longer, the much-hated leader had him executed — claiming it was “necessary, for one whom hellebore had not benefited in all that time.”
The story indicates that Caligula had some knowledge of medicinal plants – a prospect that intrigued Luke, who spoke with Fox News Digital about his research.

When asked if he was surprised by Caligula’s interest in plants, Luke replied, “Yes and no.”
“I knew Caligula had a reputation for being a prolific poisoner, and such a murderer might be expected to possess a detailed knowledge of the properties of toxic plants,” Luke said.
“Antikyra may be the first known destination in Greece for Roman medical tourists.”
“That said, murder by poisoning was a common theme in ancient literature about bad rulers and their families,” the historian added.
Luke said that, as he dug into more ancient sources and archaeological studies, he noticed mounting evidence of Caligula’s interest in medicinal plants – which he wasn’t expecting.

Alexander the Great, Attalus III of Pergamon and Mithradates VI Eupator are other ancient leaders who took an interest in plants, Luke said — with Caligula possibly consulting pharmacological a text attributed to Mithradates.
ARCHAEOLOGISTS FIND PROOF OF GRISLY GLADIATOR-LION FIGHT IN UNEXPECTED TOURIST DESTINATION
Study co-author Andrew Koh noted that Antikyra was similar to the modern-day Mayo Clinic, drawing faraway people to the port by offering treatments for relentless illnesses.
“In other words, Antikyra may be the first known destination in Greece for Roman medical tourists,” Luke said.
Historians say Caligula’s interest in plants may have stemmed from fears of assassination by poison.(iStock)
“When we think of a brand-name destination for innovative and effective medical treatments, the name Mayo Clinic immediately springs to mind, just as the name Antikyra did in the minds of ancient inhabitants of the Roman Empire for similar reasons.”

He notes that Antikyra healers added a locally grown plant called sesamoides to their hellebore recipes, making them the safest and most effective purgative treatments at the time.
So, was the Roman emperor a “plant nerd” in the modern sense?
Luke told Fox News Digital that he doesn’t mind that label, but added that Caligula’s interest in the healing and harming power of plants wasn’t just a hobby.

“At the same time, any concern he had regarding assassination by poison was justifiable in the circumstances,” Luke said, pointing to the suspicious deaths of several family members, including his father-in-law Germanicus and brother-in-law Lepidus.

The classicist added, “[Caligula’s] family members took up the study of poisons and their antidotes … It seems to me that the motive of self-defense behind Caligula’s study of plants is different from just being a nerd.”
Above all, Luke suggested that modern readers should read ancient sources like Suetonius with a critical eye, noting that his stories about Caligula were “skillfully organized … in such a way that they shocked readers.”

“Shock does not lead to a clear perception of the facts,” Luke said.
“When I pursue the facts behind some of the most outrageous stories about Caligula, I often find Suetonius has deftly distorted what likely happened.”

The launch of Switch 2 brings with it a selection of retro GameCube games for subscribers to the Nintendo Switch Online service. As it did for the NES, SNES, N64, and even Sega Genesis/Mega Drive when games from those platforms joined the library, Nintendo has released a perfect recreation of the original controller, allowing you to play those classic games as authentically as possible.
For anyone who was gaming when the GameCube was first around, it’s slightly surreal to now have a perfect recreation of the original controller that’s wireless but not the bulkier WaveBird model. It’s no bad thing, though, and decades-old muscle memory will soon kick in. Younger players might find the unusually-shaped controller odd at first, with its tiny nub of a C-Stick and its chunky, rounded shoulder triggers, but after a few laps of F-Zero GX, you soon realize how perfectly tailored the controller was for its games.
For the modern update, Nintendo has tweaked the design slightly, incorporating controls specific to the Switch 2–namely the Home, screen capture, and C buttons—at the top of the pad, and added a tiny new ZL button on the left-hand shoulder. That helps make this GameCube pad broadly compatible with some modern Switch and Switch 2 games, though not a perfect match—the Start button here mimics the Switch 2’s plus (+) button, there’s nothing to replicate the minus (-) button, and it lacks newer features such as clickable thumbsticks.
However, availability is a problem for this controller. It’s only available directly from Nintendo’s online store, can only be purchased if you have an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription, and is limited to one unit per account in the US, but two per account in the UK.
NA TIKTOKU se sve više širi fibermaxxing, trend koji podrazumijeva maksimalno povećanje unosa prehrambenih vlakana. Cilj je poboljšati probavu, produljiti osjećaj sitosti, uravnotežiti šećer i kolesterol te ojačati zdravlje crijeva. Iako vlakna imaju mnoge prednosti, stručnjaci upozoravaju da nagle promjene u prehrani mogu izazvati probavne smetnje ako se ne provode pažljivo.
Što je fibermaxxing?
Ova praksa uključuje dodavanje vlakana svakom obroku, često i uz pomoć dodataka prehrani. Popularizirana je kao pristup koji naglašava važnost zdrave probave, za razliku od ranije usredotočenosti na proteine. No, dijetetičarka Jennifer House upozorava da ovakav pristup nije pogodan za osobe s osjetljivim probavnim sustavom, primjerice one koje imaju sindrom iritabilnog crijeva, Crohnovu bolest ili ulcerozni kolitis.
Koliko vlakana zapravo trebamo?
Za žene do 50 godina preporučuje se unos 25 g vlakana dnevno, a za starije 21 g. Muškarcima se preporučuje 30 g dnevno. Većina ljudi unosi tek polovicu te količine. Vlakna se nalaze u biljnim namirnicama poput povrća, voća, cjelovitih žitarica, mahunarki, orašastih plodova i sjemenki. Najbogatiji izvori su mahunarke – primjerice, šalica graha sadrži i do 19 g vlakana.
Vrste vlakana i njihove prednosti
Topiva vlakna (zob, jabuke, grah): reguliraju kolesterol i šećer u krvi. Netopiva vlakna (cjelovite žitarice, kora povrća): potiču redovitu probavu i sprječavaju zatvor. Prebiotička vlakna (banane, šparoge, luk): hrane korisne crijevne bakterije, potiču apsorpciju minerala i povezane su s boljim raspoloženjem.
Raznovrstan unos vlakana stvara raznolik crijevni mikrobiom, jača imunitet i smanjuje upale.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Kada vlakna postaju problem?
Prebrz unos vlakana može uzrokovati nadutost, plinove, grčeve, pa čak i zatvor ili proljev. Problem se pogoršava ako se ne unosi dovoljno vode. Kod osoba s manjim apetitom, poput starijih ili djece, zbog osjećaja sitosti mogu unijeti manje drugih hranjivih tvari. Također, previše vlakana može ometati apsorpciju željeza, cinka i kalcija.
Voda je ključna
Vlakna djeluju najbolje uz dovoljan unos tekućine, preporučuje se osam do deset čaša vode dnevno. Svaki obrok bogat vlaknima treba popratiti čašom vode.
Kako sigurno povećati unos vlakana?
Stručnjaci savjetuju postupan pristup: povećavajte unos vlakana postupno, dodajući 3 do 5 g tjedno, ravnomjerno tijekom dana. Prioritet treba dati cjelovitim namirnicama, a dodaci prehrani neka budu samo pomoć kad je to zaista potrebno.

MLADI i predivni pas Oscar nije imao lak život. Iako je sada na sigurnom kao štićenik Azila Dubrovnik, ovog divnog psa netko je prije nešto više od mjesec dana ostavio ispred azila. Maleni Oscar nije imao nikoga svog i bio je vrlo uplašen.
Iz Azila Dubrovnik i dalje ne odustaju od toga da Oscaru pronađu dom kakav zaslužuje. Na svojoj službenoj Facebook stranici su napisali da je Oscar bio i u svojoj prvoj šetnji, mahao je repom i prilazio ljudima, igrao se s djecom.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Naglašavaju da je Oscar “nježan, dobar, drag s ljudima i drugim psima” te ne traži puno. On, kao i brojne druge napuštene životinje, samo traži šansu i svog čovjeka. Ako biste to rado postali vi, za više informacija o ovom dobroćudnom mladom psu javite se na [email protected].

A Mississippi law that requires social media users to verify their ages can go into effect, a federal court has ruled. A tech industry group has pledged to continue challenging the law, arguing it infringes on users’ rights to privacy and free expression.
A three-judge panel of the 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals overruled a decision by a federal district judge to block the 2024 law from going into effect. It’s the latest legal development as court challenges play out against similar laws in states across the country.
Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch argued in a court filing defending the law that steps such as age verification for digital sites could mitigate harm caused by “sex trafficking, sexual abuse, child pornography, targeted harassment, sextortion, incitement to suicide and self-harm, and other harmful and often illegal conduct against children.”
Attorneys for NetChoice, which brought the lawsuit, have pledged to continue their court challenge, arguing the law threatens privacy rights and unconstitutionally restricts the free expression of users of all ages.
The industry group, which has filed similar lawsuits in Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Ohio and Utah, represents some of the country’s most high-profile technology companies, including Google, which owns YouTube; Snap Inc., the parent company of Snapchat; and Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram.
In a written statement, Paul Taske, co-director of the NetChoice Litigation Center, said the group is “very disappointed” in the decision to let Mississippi’s law go into effect and is “considering all available options.”
“NetChoice will continue to fight against this egregious infringement on access to fully protected speech online,” Taske said. “Parents — not the government — should determine what is right for their families.”

Accused files bail plea in Saif Ali Khan stabbing case
In his bail plea filed on Friday through advocate Vipul Dushing, the accused asserted he was innocent and that he had no prior criminal record.
His plea stated that the investigation into the incident had practically concluded, with only filing of chargesheet remaining. It also said critical evidence, including CCTV footage and call records, was already with the prosecution.
Islam poses no threat of tampering with evidence or influencing witnesses, the plea further contended.
“The present FIR is nothing but an imaginary story of the complainant. Therefore, he prays for bail,” the plea said.
The application also raised concerns about the legality of the arrest, citing disregard for section 47 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). As per the provision, the arrested person should be informed of the grounds of his arrest and of right to bail.
Indiqube Spaces Ltd prepares for IPO, reports net loss of ₹139.61 crore, aims to raise ₹700 crore.

Coworking firm Indiqube Spaces Ltd, which will soon launch an initial public offering (IPO), has posted a net loss of ₹139.61 crore during the last fiscal on higher expenses.
The net loss of Indiqube Spaces, which provides managed office spaces to corporates, stood at ₹341.50 crore during the 2023-24 fiscal.
Its total income rose to ₹1,102.93 crore in 2024-25 from ₹867.66 crore in the preceding year, according to its red herring prospectus (RHP) filed with SEBI.
Indiqube Spaces said the company has incurred losses during the last three fiscal years.
Indiqube Spaces manages a portfolio of 115 centres across 15 cities, covering 8.40 million square feet of area under management with a total seating capacity of 1,86,719 as of March 31, 2025.
Bengaluru-based Indiqube Spaces will hit the capital market on July 23 to raise up to ₹700 crore through its IPO.
The company has fixed a price band of ₹225 to ₹237 per share for its IPO that closes on July 25.
The company is raising ₹650 crore through the issuance of fresh issue and promoters will offload shares worth ₹50 crore under the offer for sale (OFS).
Out of the total net proceeds of the IPO, Indiqube Spaces will utilise ₹462.6 crore towards funding capex for setting up new centres, ₹93 crore for repayment and the rest for general corporate purposes.
The company, which was incorporated in 2015, had raised ₹324 crore in two funding rounds during 2018 and 2022.
Amid the rising demand for flexible workspaces, co-working operators are looking to expand their business across major cities in India. They lease office spaces from landlords and then sub-lease the areas to corporates of all sizes.
To support their expansion plan, they are looking to raise funds through various routes, including an IPO.
Already, Awfis and Smartworks have listed their companies on stock exchanges, while WeWork India recently received SEBI nod to launch its IPO.
Gross leasing of office spaces across India’s top 8 cities is expected to cross 90 million square feet in 2025, beating last year’s record demand of around 89 million square feet, according to Cushman & Wakefield.
This is probably my mom’s favorite dish, and it was our favorite dish for her to make when my brother, my sister and I were kids. She passed away 30 years ago, in 1995, so it just just was calling to me. My mom was born in Lincoln Heights, but her dad is from Texas and my grandma was native, Concho Indian, so it’s very much not traditional, but kind of traditional in that 1960s kind of cooking.
And then that avocado sauce is so good. If you grew up here in the ’80s, in the ’90s, it’s like the avocado sauce that people would serve at Tex-Mex places. It kind of tastes like that, but better.
For the taquitos you can use beef stewing meat: shoulder clod, oxtail, beef plate, any braising meat. I use stewing meat that has nice marbling without a ton of cap fat to mimic the old-school canned meat my mom used to use, Hereford canned beef. It makes this recipe even easier if you can find it!
I serve this beef rolled in fresh, still-warm corn tortillas from La Princesita in East Los Angeles. If you don’t have a local Mexican market with daily warm fresh tortillas, don’t trip. You can use standard corn tortillas, which you can warm on a hot plate or comal; a quick hack is nuking them in a microwave in a damp towel for 30 to 45 seconds, about 10 at a time, so they are easily rollable before frying.
I use lard to sear and fry, but you could easily use rice bran oil or peanut oil. I used stewing meat lard in this version, because that’s how my mom would fry them. She would make a version of guacamole sauce both with and without jalapeño; in this version I use jalapeño. She would also serve them with Mexican rice. Here I serve them a la carte and topped with queso fresco, because why not?
“For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known” (1 Corinthians 13:12).
In our current state of life, faith is a necessity. We serve a God whom we cannot see with our physical eyes and the Bible tells us we need faith because we cannot come to God without first believing that he exists (Heb. 11:6). However, faith is only necessary because what we are believing for has not happened yet. We know that heaven is our future home and until we reach it, we have faith knowing that when we pass from this life, we will go to be with the Lord forever.
While we believe this, we have not experienced it yet. Our faith is the hope that bridges that gap between what we have prayed for and believed, and the time when those things will come to pass. When we get to heaven, the realization of everything we have believed will shift and, at that point, our faith will become sight. Our hope will become our reality and from that point forward, we won’t need to hope or believe because we will live in what we have longed for and hoped for.
7. We Won’t Experience Darkness
“There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever” (Revelation 22:5).
Every day, we experience light and darkness. The sun rises in the morning, bringing with it the hope and expectation of a new day. In the evening the sun sets, and we rest, hopefully having made that day a productive one. This cycle will continue as long as this earth exists. But this is not what we will experience in heaven. We will live forever in the light of the glory of God, which is a light that far outshines this noon day sun.
On some mornings I drive my daughter to school and when we make the turn towards the school, the light of the morning sun is blinding. I can only imagine what the light of God’s glory will be like. Yet one day we will know, and we will never experience darkness again.

Worshipers are bringing the Good Word beyond church walls, hitting the beaches this summer.
Beach Catholic of Long Island, New York, consists of three parishes hosting Mass near the sea every Sunday. (See the video at the top of this article.)
Over 1,000 people have attended the service per week since the group first began in 2014.
POPULAR VACATION SPOT BANS ‘GIGANTIC HOLES’ IN SAND AFTER NEAR-TRAGEDY
Jordan Bernhardi, Beach Catholic director of operations, told Fox News Digital he predicts more than 50,000 people have attended the Masses over the last decade.
“It is a powerful public witness of faith that draws Catholics from all over Long Island, with some even coming from New York City. There is something so powerful about hundreds of Catholics, kneeling before their King and receiving Him in the Eucharist, at the beach,” said Bernhardi.

He added, “As our new holy father, Pope Leo XIV, has said, we are called to be a missionary church. In a culture that needs Jesus now, maybe more than ever before, we believe that the answer is to bring Him out.”
The Masses are spread across three different beaches on Long Island and three parishes – St. Ignatius Martyr, St. Mary of The Isle, and Our Lady of The Miraculous Medal.
“We believe that the answer is to bring Him out.”
Fr. Brian Barr, pastor of Beach Catholic, told Fox News Digital faith is not intended to be contained within four walls.
“When you were a kid, do you remember being uneasy or embarrassed about expressing your faith in front of others? I do. I think most people do. We shouldn’t be that way,” said Barr.
Three parishes have hosted outdoor Mass services since 2014, reaching an estimated 50,000 people.(Stephanie Keith for Fox News Digital)
“But for whatever reason, many of us are. Bringing the Eucharist, which is our most important prayer, to the streets (and the beach), challenges that fear in a great way,” Barr added. “Like most things that scare us, the more you confront them, the quicker you conquer them.”
Fox News Digital was on hand at a recent Sunday beach Mass, asking attendees what the service means to them.

Attendee Tim Murphy said he has been attending the service every summer since it began.
“Every week we still make the trip to come down and it’s worth the trip if you have never been. My wife and I actually met here because of the beach Mass, and so my son would not be born without the beach Mass,” said Murphy.
“Every week we still make the trip to come down, and it’s worth the trip if you have never been.”(Stephanie Keith for Fox News Digital)
He says attending the Mass has been life-changing.
“Having this many people come together and celebrate outside on the beach is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” he said.

“People passing along on the boardwalk, getting to stop and hear the Word of God, it’s an incredible experience, and you should really join us at some point this year.”
Dee Santos told Fox News Digital every week is a special moment, and she saw 1,200 people attend last week to receive communion.

“What I love is, first of all, we have this beautiful gift from God of the beach, and we get to celebrate his gifts to us in his presence on the beach,” said Santos.
“The other piece of it that’s so wonderful is it brings people in who maybe wouldn’t even see us worshiping. It brings people off the boardwalk, off the beach,” said Santos.
“Last week we had someone who wanted to know what was going on. And we said, we’re going to have mass here.”

She said the man decided to stay and partake in the Mass.
“It’s also really nice to bring in other voices from the church, hear about what’s going on across the Barrier Island, and really get to celebrate being Catholic and worshiping together,” said Santos.

What is NEET PG?
NBEMS conducts the eligibility-cum-ranking examination called NEET-PG every year for admission to various MD/MS/PG Diploma courses in the upcoming academic session. Candidates seeking admission in post MBBS DNB Courses, post MBBS Direct 6 year DrNB courses and NBEMS diploma courses also need NEET PG scores.
I was not sure what to expect from Diadem’s new BluCore paddle, which is among a handful of new paddles that have replaced the standard honeycomb polymer core with closed-cell foam—they sent me a sample of the stuff, and it looks like you could make a gas station cooler out of it. That foam is substantially more durable—it has a lifetime warranty, in fact—over the long haul and is also not at risk of delaminating in extreme temperatures if, for example, you leave the paddle in the car on a scorching summer day while you grab patio margs.
Given how far this paddle is outside the norm, and the fact that it’s priced at the upper end of the range, I wanted to put real time in before recommending it. What I found was that the BluCore took some time to get used to, but it’s now the paddle I play with the most. The foam core makes for a softer and more forgiving feel—it’s like the suspension on an old Cadillac coupe. While I don’t feel like I’m getting the most out of my serve, I especially love this paddle in defensive situations against better players. It plays consistently from edge to edge and has a nice, big sweet spot.
Whether foam ends up dominating the pickleball market remains to be seen, but people who play nearly every day will also appreciate that this paddle uses an aramid carbon fiber face that is more durable than raw carbon and that the foam absorbs more vibration.
★ Another foam core paddle: I was also pretty impressed with the Selkirk Labs 008, a new foam core paddle from the maker of our top pick for most people above. The 008 has a more traditional feel and a smaller but more poppy sweet spot. Because this paddle uses a T700 raw carbon fiber instead of more durable aramid carbon fiber, I fear the face will lose its effectiveness even when the core remains solid.
POVEZANOST između prehrane i zdravlja probave mnogi zanemaruju, a upravo određene namirnice omogućavaju da nahranimo korisne bakterije u probavnom sustavu. Nutricionistica Kathleen Garcia-Benson za portal Eating Well izdvojila je sedam supernamirnica koje nisu samo ukusne, već imaju i snažan pozitivan učinak na crijevni mikrobiom, podržavajući sve, od probave i mentalnog zdravlja do jačanja imuniteta.
Bobičasto voće
Bobičasto voće pravi je prvak u očuvanju zdravlja crijeva. Redovita konzumacija, naime, potiče rast dobrih crijevnih bakterija poput bifidobakterija i laktobacila.
“Sitne sjemenke u bobičastom voću izvrstan su izvor vlakana, a ujedno osiguravaju hidraciju i antioksidanse”, ističe nutricionistica i dodaje: “Bogate su mikronutrijentima koji podržavaju cjelokupno zdravlje crijeva i stanica, a kao bonus mogu pomoći u zadovoljavanju želje za slatkim”. Antioksidansi u obliku polifenola smanjuju upale, potiču rast zdravih bakterija i jačaju cjelokupno zdravlje.
Koštuničavo voće ima nježno i aromatično meso, savršeno za jelo u svježem obliku, na roštilju ili kao dodatak slatkim i slanim jelima. “Prekrasno se slažu s namirnicama bogatim proteinima poput svježeg sira ili grčkog jogurta, što zadovoljava i slatke i slane želje”, ističe Garcia-Benson.
Također su izvrstan izvor vlakana, posebno ako se jedu s korom, što je odlično za probavu. Prirodni šećeri daju lako probavljivu energiju, dok vlakna hrane korisne crijevne bakterije. Fermentacijom tih vlakana u debelom crijevu stvara se raznolikiji i zdraviji mikrobiom, što jača crijevnu sluznicu i imunosni sustav.

Dinje i lubenice
Garcia-Benson ističe da su odličan izbor dinje i lubenice. “Dinje i lubenice nevjerojatno su hidratantne i prirodno slatke, što ih čini idealnim izborom tijekom vrućih ljetnih mjeseci”, kaže i nastavlja: “Iako nemaju puno vlakana, pomažu u održavanju redovite probave održavanjem ravnoteže tekućine u crijevima”.
Hidracija je ključna, a dinje i lubenice u tome prednjače. Sastoje se od preko 90 posto vode i sadrže vrijedne elektrolite (kalij, magnezij i natrij) koji održavaju ravnotežu tekućine. Dovoljan unos tekućine, često kroz hranu bogatu vodom, temelj je zdrave probave.
Rajčica
Njezina svestranost može se mjeriti jedino s nutritivnom vrijednošću, smatra nutricionistica. “Sirova rajčica nudi hidraciju, a kuhana osigurava bioraspoloživi likopen”. Likopen, spoj koji rajčici daje crvenu boju, snažan je antioksidans koji smanjenjem upala u tijelu neizravno koristi zdravlju crijeva.

Tikvice i ljetne buče
Ovo blago i prilagodljivo povrće ljetni su vrtni favoriti koji se brzo pripremaju i slažu s gotovo svim okusima. Bilo da ih naribate u rezance, pečete na roštilju ili dodajete u ratatouille, tikvice i ljetne buče jelima daju ugodnu teksturu i suptilan okus.
“Blagog su okusa te nude hidraciju i nešto vlakana”, ističe Garcia-Benson. Primjerice, 100 grama tikvica sadrži topiva vlakna (hrana za dobre mikrobe) i netopiva vlakna (potiču probavu). “Sadrže relativno malo fermentabilnih ugljikohidrata, što ih čini lakšima za osjetljive želuce”, dodaje ona, što je dobra vijest za osobe sa sindromom iritabilnog crijeva.

Poriluk, luk i češnjak
Lukovičasto povrće daje dubinu i složenost jelima te je temelj bezbrojnih slanih recepata. Od slatkoće karameliziranog luka do oštrine svježeg češnjaka, neizostavni su u kuhinji. No oni su ujedno i “temeljne prebiotičke namirnice”, tvrdi Garcia-Benson. Dok probiotici unose dobre bakterije u crijeva, prebiotici služe kao hrana koja im pomaže da se razmnožavaju.
Također potiču redovitu probavu i poboljšavaju apsorpciju minerala poput kalcija i magnezija. Važna napomena: ako patite od neravnoteže mikrobioma ili SIBO-a, Garcia-Benson upozorava da ove namirnice mogu uzrokovati plinove i nadutost. U tom slučaju, savjetovanje s dijetetičarom može pomoći.
Krastavci
Malo koje povrće je tako osvježavajuće kao krastavac, sa svojom hrskavom teksturom i čistim okusom. “Krastavci su puni vode i odlični za hidraciju”, kaže Garcia-Benson. “To je rashlađujuće povrće savršeno za vrućine, no nije osobito bogato vlaknima, pa ga je najbolje kombinirati s drugim namirnicama koje pogoduju crijevima”, dodaje ona.
Iako krastavci nemaju puno vlakana, njihov visok udio vode (96 posto) igra ključnu ulogu u zdravlju probave. Svakodnevno gubimo vodu disanjem, znojenjem i mokrenjem, stoga je moramo nadoknađivati. Kada ne unosimo dovoljno tekućine, tijelo prelazi u način rada za uštedu vode, a probava se može usporiti.
Čak i blaga, ali stalna dehidracija može s vremenom opteretiti tijelo i dovesti do dugoročnih zdravstvenih problema. Zato je redovit unos hidratantne hrane iznenađujuće jednostavna, a moćna navika za cjelokupno zdravlje.

FRIZURA je često odraz osobnosti, ali jeste li znali da se i životinje ponekad vole “urediti”? Dobro, možda ne baš namjerno, ali rezultat je često vrlo simpatičan. Upravo to dokazuje snimka s The Good Place Farm farme koja je nasmijala korisnike društvenih mreža i pokazala da koze i jarčevi imaju svoje modne trenutke.
Vlasnica farme, Mama B, podijelila je video jednog od svojih jarčeva i njegove nove, upečatljive “frizure” koja nikoga nije ostavila ravnodušnim. Nestašni jarac očito se sav bacio u balu sijena, a kada je izašao, gotovo pa se nije ni vidio od tolikog sijena na sebi.

Zastao je na trenutak kao da pozira, no zbog goleme količine sijena koja mu je prekrila oči, od kontakta pogledom nije bilo ništa. Potpuno bezbrižno, kao da se ništa neobično nije dogodilo, jednostavno je nastavio svojim putem.

Elon Musk on Sunday, July 20, announced that his artificial intelligence startup (xAI) will develop a child-focussed app called ‘Baby Grok’. This comes after his earlier warning to kids stating that the social media is bad for them.
“We’re going to make Baby Grok @xAI, an app dedicated to kid-friendly content,” he posted on X. He said it’s “inspired by Baby Groot”, a character found in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He didn’t disclose other details though regarding this.
Musk on May 23 last year said, “A lot of social media is bad for kids, as there is extreme competition between social media AIs to maximize dopamine!” He had urged “parents to limit the amount of social media that children can see because they’re being programmed by a dopamine-maximizing AI”.
Internet users are divided on his new move as some say it’s a great idea, whereas others state that children should stay away from screens.
Netizens react
One of the users said, “That’s a really good idea.” Another remarked, “Maybe you should focus on getting the kids away from screens” “Awesome idea. Would be great for educational purposes,” remarked a third. One of them asked Musk, “Can you make an educational version and make it for people who want to homeschool their children?”
A user reacted, “Why do you want children on the internet?” Some told him, “We love you Elon but “kid-friendly content” is not on the internet. It’s reading books and playing outside.” One asked, “Free for children?”
Prior to his announcement, Google had stated that it was developing a dedicated Gemini app for children, aimed at assisting them with homework, answering questions, and helping them create stories. Additionally, parents will have control over their children’s access to Gemini through the Family Link app, which allows them to disable the feature if desired.
Meanwhile, xAI introduced its latest chatbot, Grok 4, earlier this month, just a few months after the previous version, emphasising the breakneck pace of AI innovation. The launch came shortly after the bot made several antisemitic statements on X, which were met with widespread backlash.

Being thankful for singleness can seem like an oxymoron because many singles don’t see a reason to be grateful for it. On the contrary, there are many reasons to be grateful for being single. To start, singleness is a symbol of freedom. Freedom to grow as God allows you, freedom to learn who you are and why God has placed you in singleness. Additionally, singleness is the time to build a relationship with God and delve into the ministry work He has for you. Singleness is a journey filled with so many things to be grateful for and it’s time to get into the habit of showing it. You can journal your thoughts about the freedom God has given, make a list of friendships you’ve forged in singleness, or design a grateful jar and write small notes about how grateful you are to grow in singleness. Whatever you decide to do, be sure each thought of gratefulness brings you closer to God, and stronger in singleness.
Developing habits takes time and commitment. It calls for unwaberign dedication to your goals. Singles, as you move forward in singleness, it is my sincere prayer that you develop healthy habits that will heal your brokenness, heal any bitterness you may be harboring in your heart about being single, and forge habits that will help you embrace it for the gift that it is. Start intentionally planning to reshape your singleness by starting small, and adapting one of the habits listed above. Be patient with yourself, and know that God is with you every step of the way.
As you take this journey, be sure to track and acknowledge your progress in any way you see fit, and remember that it’s okay to start again as many times as you need to. If you find yourself wavering, lean on a solid, spirit-filled group of singles who will hold you accountable and keep you on track. To take things a step further, I suggest creating a healthy habits of singleness vision board where you clearly define what habits you want to release and what habits you want to adopt. If you decide to do this, once it’s created, place it where you can see it daily. This will serve as a reminder for you to stay focused on resetting your singleness with new habits. It will also serve as personal encouragement. As you begin this journey in singleness, carefully and prayerfully stay committed to the goal of creating your single habits to keep you happy, healthy, whole, and prosperous. There is purpose in every season, but you won’t discover it unless you are actively involved in its beauty.
The Trump administration is speeding up its efforts to address a nationwide shortage of Air Traffic Controllers.
Earlier this year, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced a push to hire 2,000 new controllers by the end of the year.

Inside the Federal Aviation Administration’s Oklahoma City training site, there is cutting-edge simulation technology that gives trainees a real feel for working in the tower.
TO KEEP THE SKIES SAFE, THE FAA NEEDS A MAKEOVER
According to the FAA, that technology cuts weeks off the time required for certification. Now, federal aviation officials say they’re on track to reach the goal of 2,000 new controllers by mid-September.

“Keying up, telling an aircraft to do something is not something that just comes natural to people…It’s learning that phraseology,” explained Chris Wilbanks, the FAA’s Vice President of Mission Support. “It’s making sure that the pilot completely understands the instruction that you just gave him.”
FAA PARTNERS WITH UNIVERSITY TO ADDRESS NATIONWIDE CONTROLLER SHORTAGE
Each trainee starts with a 30-day basics course, followed by six to eight weeks of specialized training in both tower and radar operations.
“You impact people’s lives,” said Wilbanks. “They get on an airplane; they make it to their destination safely. They don’t know who got them there, but it’s you.”
The push for more air traffic controllers comes as staffing shortages caused delays earlier this year at busy airports such as Newark, New Jersey.
“We just put a brand-new simulation in Newark … We do have our problem spots out there. We keep our eyes on it every day,” Wilbanks said.

SECRETARY DUFFY TO ‘STREAMLINE’ FAA HIRING PROCESS
To help meet the demand, Transportation Secretary Duffy launched the Supercharge Initiative earlier this year. Part of that $12.5 billion boost to FAA infrastructure includes $100 million for training.
July alone has seen the highest number of academy students in training in FAA’s history, with 550 students expected by the end of the month.
The FAA reports it has shaved more than five months off the administrative process. Students who scored in the top percentile are now being placed into the academy more quickly.

“It’s going to take time to address the nationwide controller shortage, but I’m pleased to see our supercharge initiative is taking off. With our new streamlined hiring process, the best and the brightest candidates are starting their careers in air traffic control faster,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy in a newsletter sent to FOX early Friday. “We’ll continue to leverage opportunities big and small to keep chipping away at the shortage to keep our skies safe.”

In 2022, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission sent a letter urging the more than 2,000 manufacturers and importers of ebikes to review the relevant safety standards and ensure that their products comply with them.
“It was poised to create mandatory federal standards for lithium-ion battery safety,” says Lovell, “but the agency is currently at a standstill in terms of creating new regulations while it is being reviewed by the Trump administration.”
Currently, UL certification for electric bicycles is required only in New York City and Hoboken, New Jersey. “PeopleForBikes has advocated for model legislation, crafted by the bicycle industry, that accepts both the UL standard and the EN standard for lithium-ion batteries and e-systems,” says Lovell. That model legislation is law in New York state and California and soon will be in Illinois as well.
To find out if the ebike you’re eyeing is third-party certified, look for a sticker on the frame or battery that contains information on its compliance.
What Is the DIN Standard?

Cargo bikes carry heavy loads—kids, groceries, building supplies, and whatever else can possibly be hauled on two to three to four wheels. As a result, the brakes and other components of a cargo bike that allow it to safely stop and go need extra scrutiny.
In 2020, the German Institute for Standardization (DIN) developed a “DIN” standard to address this. The result is Din 79010, “the first standard to specify the testing methods and safety requirements of electric and nonelectric cargo bikes,” says Lovell, adding that both single-track (two-wheeled) and multi-track (three-wheeled or more) bikes meant for transporting general cargo and/or passengers are covered in this standard.
“While Din 79010 is being explored in Europe as mandatory, the US has no plans to adopt this as a mandatory standard in the near future,” says Lovell. But many cargo bike companies, like Tern, voluntarily comply with the standard.
How Will Tariffs Affect My Purchase?
If you’re looking at an ebike, we suggest buying one right now, before final deals are made between the United States and China, along with other countries like Vietnam, Taiwan, and Cambodia.
“Currently we are all waiting to see the final form of the reciprocal tariffs,” says Matt Moore, general and policy counsel at PeopleforBikes. “Most electric bicycles are imported from China, and the stacked tariff rate right now adds up to 55 percent.”
Very high tariffs, Moore warns, will force significant price increases throughout the supply chain, ending with the consumer’s digital pocketbook. Sustained high tariffs will lead to permanently higher prices, reducing affordability and consumer demand.
“Smaller companies will be least able to manage these additional costs, and some may be forced out of business,” says Moore. “Since electric bicycles have been driving growth in our very competitive industry where overall unit demand has been declining for the last few years, higher costs and prices due to tariffs have the potential to be an existential crisis.”

Ljeto 2025. donosi snažnu unutarnju promjenu za Škorpione. Ovo nije promjena koju će drugi nužno odmah primijetiti, ali iznutra se sve mijenja. Škorpion je znak dubine, tišine i snage koju ne pokazuje olako. No pod utjecajem retrogradnog Plutona i intenzivnih tranzita kroz njegov sektor osobne transformacije, pred njim je razdoblje koje označava kraj stare verzije njega samog.
Godinama možda nosi maske koje su mu služile: snažan pred drugima, zatvoren kad je teško, sam kad treba izdržati. No ovaj put nije riječ o preživljavanju, riječ je o izboru da se više ne skriva. Ovoga ljeta mnogi će Škorpioni shvatiti da više ne mogu (i ne žele) živjeti prema tuđim očekivanjima, društvenim normama ili starim ulogama koje su nekad preuzeli da bi se zaštitili.
To može značiti napuštanje poslova koji ih guše, mijenjanje kruga ljudi koji više ne rezonira s njihovim vrijednostima, donošenje teških, ali iskrenih odluka koje su dugo odgađali. Možda će to za vanjski svijet izgledati kao “radikalni zaokret”, ali za Škorpiona to je povratak sebi.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Neki će prvi put jasno reći što žele, bez opravdavanja. Drugi će odlučiti skinuti emocionalni oklop koji su godinama nosili. Neki će priznati sebi da ih više ne zanima tuđe odobravanje i da se ne moraju uklapati u okvire koje nisu sami postavili.
Škorpioni su po prirodi povezani s pojmovima smrti i ponovnog rađanja, ne nužno doslovno, već simbolično. I upravo to ih sada čeka: jedno razdoblje završava, drugo počinje. Ali ovaj put neće se pokušavati “iznova izgraditi” na temelju starih verzija sebe. Ovoga puta temelj će biti istinitiji – vlastita istina, bez skrivanja.
Za Škorpione ovo ljeto neće biti lagano, ali će biti oslobađajuće. Oni koji prihvate promjenu, koji se usude krenuti putem koji ih istinski zove, otkrit će snagu koju više neće trebati skrivati.

DRŽANJE dijete nije lako. To zna i jedan preslatki magarac čiji je tužni izraz lica postao hit na Instagramu. Klinika Leba.PetsClinic objavila je video s opisom: “Najžalosniji prizor koji ćete danas vidjeti… magarac na dijeti.”
Zbog krađe hrane od prijatelja, ovaj je simpatični tvrdoglavac morao na dijetu i nije nimalo sretan zbog toga. Više ne smije jesti s društvom, a na licu mu se vidi pravo razočaranje. Korisnici društvenih mreža odmah su suosjećali s njim.

“Izgleda kao Sivko iz Winnieja Pooha”, komentirao je jedan korisnik. Drugi je dodao: “Dajte mu bar malo celera!” i “Razumijem ga, i ja sam na dijeti!”
Mogu li magarci zaista biti tužni?
Znanstvenici potvrđuju da magarci, baš kao i psi, mogu pokazivati simptome depresije: smanjeni interes za hranu, povučenost i letargiju. Posebno pate kad su izolirani jer su vrlo društvene životinje. Stručnjaci savjetuju da im se osigura društvo, igra i mentalna stimulacija.

MOŽDA je članica španjolske kraljevske obitelji, ali kraljica Letizia, između ostalog, obožava odjeću high street brendova. Kraljica čiji besprijekoran stil redovito privlači pažnju često nosi komade iz Zare, Manga i Massima Duttija, a i dobro je poznata i po ponavljanju odjevnih kombinacija.
Sada je još jednom potvrdila svoj status modne ikone, pojavivši se u kombinaciji koja na prvu djeluje nespojivo, ali zapravo savršeno utjelovljuje jedan od zanimljivijih modnih trendova.
“Teorija pogrešnih cipela” temelji se na kontrastima – primjerice, kombiniranju svečane haljine s iznošenim sportskim tenisicama. Zato većina možda ne bi odmah povezala taj koncept s kraljicom Letizijom, koja se prošloga tjedna u Madridu pojavila u elegantnoj haljini i espadrilama s platformom. No na drugi pogled, njezina interpretacija tog trenda bila je – pun pogodak, piše W Magazine.
Na događaju u palači Zarzuela, Letizia je nosila elegantnu bež haljinu asimetričnog izreza iz Manga, čija je redovna cijena iznosila oko 50 eura. Zahvaljujući kroju do ispod koljena i efektnim naborima sa strane, haljina bi se lako mogla uklopiti i u neko od brojnijih svečanijih kraljičinih pojavljivanja.
Zapravo, Letizia je upravo tu haljinu prvi put nosila na dodjeli nagrada princeze od Girone 2024. godine – tada u znatno formalnijem izdanju.

Ležerni zaokret s espadrilama
Ovog puta, međutim, kraljica je visoke potpetice ostavila kod kuće i odlučila se za opušteniji pristup. Odabrala je krem espadrile s punom petom španjolskog brenda Picón – vječni ljetni klasik koji godinama nosi s nevjerojatnom lakoćom.
Iako dolaze s visokom platformom, ove su cipele unijele dozu ležernosti i pristupačnosti u inače klasičan izgled haljine. Cjelokupan dojam dodatno su zaokružili minimalistički modni dodaci, raspuštena kosa i suptilna šminka.
Umijeće modnog recikliranja
Kao što smo već naveli, u srpnju 2024. Letizia je istu Mango haljinu nosila uz bijele sandale s otvorenim prstima i torbicu u istoj boji. No nije samo ovu haljinu nosila u više navrata – i svoje omiljene Picón espadrile nedavno je stilizirala na klasičan ljetni način. Tijekom posjeta gradu Guadalupeu uparila ih je sa šarenom haljinom živih boja i uzoraka.
Kao i mnoge europske kraljevske dame, Letizia itekako razumije snagu ponovnog nošenja odjeće, ali i važnost načina na koji ju stilizira. U slučaju njezine najnovije kombinacije, to je značilo spojiti haljinu prikladnu za svečanu prigodu, iako cjenovno vrlo pristupačnu, s ljetnim cipelama koje bi većina rezervirala isključivo za odlazak na plažu.
Vrijedi istaknuti da ova Mango haljina u originalu dolazi s rukavom, ali kraljica ga je dala ukloniti. Nažalost, haljina koju je nosila trenutačno je rasprodana na Mango stranici, no možete se prijaviti za obavijest ako se ponovno pojavi u ponudi. Pogledajte je u nastavku.

3) OpenAI launches ChatGPT agent:
OpenAI has introduced a new AI agent called the ‘ChatGPT agent’, which integrates more deeply with the company’s chatbot of the same name. The ChatGPT agent is a general-purpose agentic system that can take actions on a user’s behalf.
With the new ChatGPT agent, the chatbot can handle tasks such as accessing the user’s calendar, shopping on their behalf, creating spreadsheets, and browsing the web to gather information. It can also automate repetitive tasks, such as converting screenshots or dashboards into presentations, planning and booking offsites, updating spreadsheets with new data, and more.
OpenAI says the ChatGPT agent brings the best of both worlds from the Operator and DeepResearch agentic AI’s, allowing ChatGPT agent to transition naturally from a simple conversation to executing actions within the same chat.

4) DuckDuckGo brings a feature to block AI images in search results:
Privacy focused search engine DuckDuckGo has brought a new feature that allows users to block AI generated images in their search results.
However, the feature isn’t enabled by default. Users will need to manually go into the search menu to change the filters if they want to reduce the number of AI-generated images they see. On the DuckDuckGo website, a new “AI Images” option now appears in the search menu. By default, it is set to ‘Show’, but users can manually click on the menu and set it to ‘Hide’ to significantly reduce AI-generated images in search results.
DuckDuckGo admits the feature won’t catch every AI-generated image, but it says their frequency should drop significantly. To power the feature, DuckDuckGo relies on open-source blocklists like the ‘nuclear’ list from uBlockOrigin and the uBlacklist Huge AI Blacklist.

5) Netflix uses generative AI for first time in a show:
Netflix has confirmed that it used generative AI for the first time to create a scene in one of its original shows. Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos described the technology as an “incredible opportunity to help creators make films and series better, not just cheaper.”
Sarandos said everyone involved with the project was “thrilled” with the result generated by AI. Since generative AI gained prominence in late 2022, there has been significant anxiety across industries about its impact on jobs, with creative fields expected to be among the most affected. In 2023, a Hollywood actors and writers strike led to new guidelines around the use of AI in productions.
Aneet plays Vaani, a timid poet, reeling under the trauma of being abandoned at the altar. She keeps a diary handy, in case inspiration strikes or to keep a note in case she forgets something. She forgets quite often. Ahaan is Krish, a young, brattish musician who, in his introductory scene, beats up a journalist for not including his name in his review (each word of mine will now be typed with caution). Krish then accuses him of favouring the “nepo kids.” “You will lap up any shit these blue tick ones throw at you,” he says. Ahaan Panday is the nephew of Chunky Panday and cousin of Ananya Panday. Bollywood continues to amaze me.
AceVector’s IPO plans mark the latest in a string of major tech-enabled firms tapping Indian capital markets.

AceVector, parent company of e-commerce marketplace Snapdeal, has confidentially filed draft papers with markets regulator SEBI to raise funds through an initial public offering (IPO).
In a public announcement on Saturday, AceVector stated that it has submitted “the pre-filed draft red herring prospectus with SEBI and the stock exchanges …in relation to the proposed initial public offering of its equity shares on the main board of the stock exchanges”.
Apart from Snapdeal, the Gurugram-based AceVector also operates software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform Unicommerce, and consumer brand building firm Stellar Brands.
Of these, Unicommerce became a publicly listed company in 2024. The company’s IPO had received an overwhelming response, with the issue having been oversubscribed 168.32 times.
AceVector, which is founded by Kunal Bahl and Rohit Bansal, opted for the confidential pre-filing route, which allows it to withhold public disclosure of IPO details under the draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) until later stages. This route is gaining traction among Indian firms aiming for flexibility in their IPO plans.
In recent months, several companies, including INOX Clean Energy, logistics service provider Shadowfax Technologies, stock broking firm Groww, Gaja Alternative Asset Management, commerce enablement platform Shiprocket, Tata Capital, edtech unicorn PhysicsWallah and Imagine Marketing, the parent company of wearables brand boAt, chose confidential filings.
In 2024, food delivery giant Swiggy and retail chain Vishal Mega Mart floated their IPOs following similar filings.
Market experts note that the confidential pre-filing route offers companies greater flexibility and reduces the pressure to go public quickly. Unlike the traditional route, which requires companies to launch their IPOs within 12 months of receiving SEBI’s approval, the pre-filing route extends this window to 18 months from the receipt of final comments. Additionally, firms can modify the primary issue size by up to 50 per cent until the updated DRHP stage.
Lord, as David prayed in Psalm 51, “Be gracious to me, God, according to Your faithfulness; According to the greatness of Your compassion, wipe out my wrongdoings. Wash me thoroughly from my guilt and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my wrongdoings, and my sin is constantly before me. Against You, You only, I have sinned and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You are justified when You speak and blameless when You judge” (verses 1-4 NASB). “Soak me in your laundry and I’ll come out clean, scrub me and I’ll have a snow-white life. Tune me in to foot-tapping songs, set these once-broken bones to dancing. Don’t look too close for blemishes, give me a clean bill of health” (verses 7-9 MSG).
“Create in me a clean heart, God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and sustain me with a willing spirit” (verses 10-12 NASB). In the cleaning, redeeming, restoring name of Christ Jesus, I pray. Amen.
There is one thing in our lives that holds great power that can be easily used for both great good and great evil. I have seen it bring people together and tear others apart. I have used it for both wonderful and terrible purposes. It is something none of us can escape. I’m talking about the power of the tongue. Words can harm, but words can also heal. The tongue has great power, and under the control of the Holy Spirit, this power can change lives in the best way, all for the glory of God. Do you struggle with using your words to heal? Listen to today’s episode of Everyday Prayers from Erin Mohring on Proverbs 12:18, and pray this prayer with us today:
A retired wallpaper designer has turned a 19th-century train carriage into a luxury Airbnb stay at a former railway station.
Nigel Brooke, 68, lives in an old train station in England where he’s restored a Great Western Railway carriage from 1895.
Although trains stopped running through the area in the 1950s, guests today can book a night in the vintage carriage for about $260 thanks to Brooke’s $35,000 restoration project.
HOME WORTH $1.6M WITH 7,000 BOOKS AND FLOOR-TO-CEILING SHELVES TOUTED FOR ‘CHARM AND CHARACTER’
“It is beautiful, and it’s quite unique here,” Brooke said, as news agency SWNS reported.
The exterior has been repainted using original colors sourced from historic railway drawings, while the interior features period wallpaper, a bed and a stove.

“I designed all that interior decor, but it was led by original pieces that I found during the restoration,” Brooke said.
The carriage originally ran on a metropolitan railway line before it was decommissioned in 1940.

“It was just chocolate brown everywhere,” he told SWNS. “It became a workman’s carriage, static somewhere.”
“It is beautiful, and it’s quite unique here.”
Brooke bought the carriage for about $10,000. He had it transported by road to its current location, he said.
It now stands on concrete walls built to align it with the station platform, offering step-free access for guests.

“One side was covered in tin – that must have been put there in the ’50s or ’40s to protect one side,” he said.

Despite the age of the structure, much of the original oak frame was in good condition.
“What I had to do was take each piece off carefully that was rotten and replicate it and rebuild it, using the original bits,” Brooke told SWNS.

“It’s quite early, 1895, for a carriage – it’s getting toward disintegration at that age if they’ve not been restored,” he added.
“This will be good for a long time now.”

If you have elected for a robot vacuum with mapping capabilities, it usually gives you the option of a quick mapping run without cleaning. It might seem like a waste, but it does save time in the long run. Use the mapping run to take a quick walk around your house and look for dangling shoelaces, wired headphones, or any long strings or fringes that will trip up the smartest robot vacuum.
And turn on your lights. Your robot might have optical sensors, which require ambient light to operate. If you find that your vacuum is getting stuck a lot, don’t schedule your cleanings at night. (Try 9 am, which is when my vacuum is usually scheduled.) If you have a dog, cleaning right after you leave will also give your pup less time to have an accident on the floor.
Nowadays, your robot vacuum will also ping you if it has navigation issues. In my house, dust often gets on top of the optical sensors, which can be removed by wiping with a soft cloth.
Empty the Bin
Yes, unfortunately, a robot that routinely digs into the yuckiest corners of your house will need a little routine maintenance. More than a few people have complained to me that their robot vacuum doesn’t work and just drags dirt around. If yours is doing this, then the bin is probably full. A robot vacuum’s dust bin is pretty small. Most robot vacuums have a bin size of around 0.6 liters. The dust bin on my Dyson ball vacuum is twice that, and I still need to empty it from room to room.
Dealing With Clogs and Clots
Many robot vacuums now come with tiny tools embedded inside the body of the vacuum that make routine maintenance slightly easier. I also keep scissors and, er, poking tools (a chopstick) on hand for cutting through hair or yarn that has snarled a roller brush or to push an obstinate Lego through the vacuum chute on a self-emptying bin.
I do have to say here that robot vacuums are not unique in this regard; these are all problems that have befallen my handheld push vacuum. I have yet to come across a robot vacuum problem that could not be solved with a few minutes of routine maintenance (well, and the occasional factory reset).

Ideally, you’d automate your robot vacuum’s cleaning cycles, not give it another thought, and come home to a clean house every day thereafter. But as helpful as robot vacuums are, they cannot pick up your kid’s 1,000-piece puzzle set for you or put away the dirty laundry that you’ve left in a pile on the floor.
IZMEĐU brisanja znoja, presvlačenja, korištenja sprava u teretani koje dijele deseci ljudi i provjeravanja mobitela, vrlo je lako napraviti pokoju higijensku pogrešku. Iako se vlasnici teretana trude održavati visoke standarde čistoće, ponekad su naše vlastite navike te koje predstavljaju najveći rizik.
Ponekad tih rizika nismo ni svjesni, a s portala HealthDigest izdvojili su neke od najčešćih pogrešaka koje radimo nakon vježbanja.
Zaboravljate očistiti prostirku na kojoj vježbate
Nakon korištenja prostirke, mnogi zaborave da je važno i očistiti je, a upravo ta prostirka može postati pravi magnet za bakterije. “Prostirka za jogu je vrlo plodan izvor infekcija, uglavnom zato što se ljudi na njima znoje, a rijetko ih čiste”, upozorava profesor medicine Robert Lahita.
Objasnio je da je prostirka “savršen inkubator za mnoge kožne infekcije”. Bakterije koje se na njoj nakupljaju mogu uzrokovati akne, atletsko stopalo, gljivične infekcije, pa čak i opasnu MRSA-u, potvrđuje i profesorica dermatologije Elizabeth Grice.
Ostajete u znojnim tenisicama i čarapama
Mnogi nakon iscrpljujućeg treninga samo žele odmoriti, ali ako to činite u obući i odjeći u kojoj ste trenirali, pogrešno postupate prema svojim stopalima. Predugo zadržavanje u vlažnoj obući može uzrokovati atletsko stopalo, neugodnu gljivičnu infekciju koja uzrokuje svrbež, pucanje kože i mjehuriće. Rizik je još veći ako nosite obuću koja ne dopušta koži da diše.
Kako biste smanjili rizik, izujte se što prije nakon treninga i dopustite stopalima da se prozrače. Redovito mijenjajte čarape i birajte materijale koji odvode znoj, poput merino vune, poliestera ili elastana, savjetuju iz HealthDigesta.
Odgađate tuširanje
Često se dogodi da ljudi nakon treninga nemaju odmah priliku otuširati se, a to je važno za zdravlje. Tuširanje ili kupanje nakon vježbanja nije važno samo zbog neugodnih mirisa. “Tijekom intenzivnog vježbanja koža se može oštetiti, a znoj stvara idealne uvjete za razvoj bakterija koje mogu prodrijeti kroz kožu”, objašnjava liječnik Ashish Sharma.
Odgađanje tuširanja može dovesti i do pojave akni jer mješavina znoja i prirodnih ulja začepljuje pore. Osim toga, tuširanje pomaže mišićima da se brže oporave i smanjuje upalu, što znači da ćete prije biti spremni za novi trening.

Ne perete ruke nakon treninga
Kad ste usredotočeni na trening, pranje ruku vjerojatno nije visoko na listi prioriteta. Ali samo razmislite o ovome ako vježbate u teretani: utezi, sprave, kvake od vrata i slično. Ruke su u kontaktu s bezbroj površina koje su dodirivali i drugi. To značajno povećava rizik od prijenosa gljivičnih infekcija.
Rješenje je jednostavno – operite ruke. Učinite to temeljito, sapunom i vodom, najmanje 20 sekundi, i prije i poslije treninga. Ako vam sapun i voda nisu dostupni, poslužit će i dezinficijens na bazi alkohola.
Preskačete umivanje
Kao i tuširanje tijela, važno je i umiti lice. Sjaj na licu nakon treninga je mješavina znoja, bakterija i masnoća koje se nakupljaju na koži. “Vrlo je važno nježno očistiti lice nakon treninga kako bi se uklonili ostaci znoja i bakterija”, kaže dermatologinja Robyn Gmyrek.
Ako to preskočite, riskirate začepljene pore i izbijanje akni. Umivanje također pomaže koži da se brže ohladi i smanjuje rizik od pucanja kapilara.

Znojna odjeća ostaje na vama
Trebali biste se presvući što je prije moguće. Dugotrajni kontakt vlažne tkanine s toplom kožom stvara savršene uvjete za brojne zdravstvene probleme. Ostankom u odjeći od treninga povećava se rizik od gljivičnih i urinarnih infekcija, kao i od bakterijskih infekcija na koži.
Ne čistite bocu za vodu
Višekratna boca je odlična za okoliš i novčanik, ali može postati leglo zaraze ako je ne čistite redovito. “Plijesan i bakterije obožavaju ustajalu vodu, a boca nikada nije sterilna”, upozorava liječnica Maria Vila. Dok pijete, bakterije iz usta vraćaju se u bocu, dodatno je kontaminirajući.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Bakterije se mogu prenijeti i s ruku na bocu ili dijeljenjem s drugima. Idealno bi bilo oprati je nakon svake upotrebe, a najmanje jednom tjedno. Ako je teško dosegnuti dno, nabavite četku za boce koja će vam omogućiti temeljito čišćenje.
Više puta koristite isti ručnik
Kako biste pravilno brinuli o zdravlju, ručnik koji koristite tijekom treninga trebali biste oprati nakon svakog korištenja. Kada se brišete, na ručnik prenosite mrtve stanice kože, bakterije i znoj, stvarajući savršeno okruženje za razvoj klica.
Zato se preporučuje pranje ručnika nakon svakog korištenja, pogotovo ako ga nakon treninga zgužvanog bacite u sportsku torbu. Prije stavljanja u košaru za rublje, kao i nakon pranja, pobrinite se da je ručnik potpuno suh. Obično strojno pranje bit će dovoljno da uništi sve štetne mikroorganizme.
Tuširate se bosi u teretani
Svi smo čuli priče o opasnostima hodanja bosih nogu po javnim tuševima. Vlažni i topli podovi tuševa i svlačionica idealno su stanište za bakterije, plijesan i gljivice. “Nemate pojma tko je sve bio ondje prije vas i koliko se često čisti”, ističe profesorica Marilyn Roberts, prenosi HealthDigest.
Hodajući bosi, lako možete pokupiti dermatofite, gljivice koje uzrokuju atletsko stopalo i svrbež prepona. Na podu mogu preživjeti i virusi, poput HPV-a koji uzrokuje bradavice. Rješenje je jednostavno: nosite japanke. One će stvoriti barijeru između vaših stopala i poda. Ako ih nemate, radije pričekajte i otuširajte se kod kuće.
Preskačete pranje kose
Nakon što ste osvježili tijelo, ne zaboravite na glavu. Pranje kose nakon treninga važno je kako biste spriječili nastanak prhuti. Nakupljanje znoja i ulja na vlasištu stvara savršeno okruženje za razmnožavanje gljivica koje uzrokuju prhut. Ako se ne liječi, prhut može prodrijeti dublje u kožu, izazvati iritaciju, pa čak i gubitak kose.
Koliko često trebate prati kosu ovisi o tome koliko se znojite. Ako se jako znojite, preporučuje se pranje nakon svakog treninga. Ako ne, ne morate to činiti svaki put. Iznimka je prirodno kovrčava kosa, koju je, bez obzira na znojenje, dovoljno prati jednom tjedno kako bi sačuvala svoja prirodna ulja.
VLASNICI su njemačkim ovčarkama Riley i Popeye odlučili kupiti bazen kako bi se mogle rashladiti preko ljeta, a lijepe ovčarke su imale vrlo drugačije prve reakcije. Za razliku od slatke Riley koja je još uvijek štene, njezina odrasla prijateljica Popeye nije imala strah od bazena i vode.
Riley je bazenu prišla vrlo oprezno, a da bi uopće ušla vlasnik ju je morao staviti unutra. Iako je istraživala bazen, u njezinu ponašanju nije bilo nimalo uzbuđenja u odnosu na Popeye, koja nije prestala skakati i zaigrano trčati kada je bio njezin trenutak da otkrije i uživa u bazenu.

IAKO je njezino ime postalo sinonim za besprijekoran ten, čak se i Hailey Bieber bori s povremenim kožnim problemima. Osnivačica brenda rhode nedavno je na svom Instagramu podijelila selfie bez trunke šminke i otvoreno progovorila o svom iskustvu s perioralnim dermatitisom. Fotografija prikazuje krupni plan njezina lica, s nekoliko sitnih prištića oko usana.
“Opet mi se aktivirao perioralni dermatitis”, napisala je kratko uz fotografiju. Ovom objavom još je jednom podsjetila pratitelje da se iza blistavog tena koji promovira ponekad kriju i loši dani za kožu, što je naišlo na veliko odobravanje javnosti.
Što je perioralni dermatitis?
Prema definiciji klinike Cleveland, perioralni dermatitis je crveni osip koji se javlja oko usta, a često može nalikovati aknama, prenosi Marie Claire.
Iako ga najčešće uzrokuju topikalni steroidi, oralni kontraceptivi ili teške hidratantne kreme, Hailey je otkrila da su njezini okidači drugačiji. Kao glavne krivce za upale navela je česta putovanja, nedostatak sna, stres, hormone i osjetljivost na određene sastojke u kozmetici.
Haileyina rutina za smirivanje upale
Manekenka je odmah nakon toga objavila i selfie s kratkim pregledom proizvoda koje koristi kada joj se koža upali. Kako je otkrila, tada lice ispire samo vodom, a na upaljena područja nanosi azelaičnu kiselinu koju kupuje na recept, sprej s hipoklornom kiselinom, klindamicin (topikalni antibiotik) te svoj popularni proizvod, rhode Glazing Milk.
Ovo nije prvi put da Bieber otvoreno govori o svojim problemima s kožom. Nakon što je 2020. godine otkrila svoju dijagnozu, 2024. je na TikToku objavila video u kojem je detaljno objasnila s čime se bori.

“Htjela sam pričati o perioralnom dermatitisu jer se s njim borim od svoje 19. ili 20. godine. Znam da mnogi ljudi imaju sličnih problema, pa sam željela podijeliti što ja koristim kada mi koža bukne”, rekla je tada u videu.
Preporuke proizvoda
Uvijek je ohrabrujuće vidjeti slavnu osobu kako bez zadrške govori o svojim nesigurnostima. Ipak, važno je zapamtiti da proizvodi koji odgovaraju Hailey ne moraju nužno odgovarati i vama. Ako se borite sa sličnim problemima, najbolje je potražiti pomoć dermatologa koji će vam pomoći sastaviti personalizirani plan liječenja.
Ako vas je zainteresirala hipoklorna kiselina koju Hailey koristi, na tržištu postoji nekoliko popularnih proizvoda.
Jedan od kultnih klasika s TikToka je Tower 28 Beauty SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray, formula koja umiruje upale u samo nekoliko prskanja.
Ako niste ljubitelj sprejeva, tu je Personal Day Trust Me on This Hypochlorous Acid Gel, gelasta formula idealna za ciljano tretiranje problematičnih područja.

OnePlus has announced that its latest Android tablet, the OnePlus Pad 3, will go on sale in India this September. While the company has not yet disclosed the exact sale date, it promised to share pricing and availability details in the coming weeks.
The OnePlus Pad 3 made its debut alongside the OnePlus 13s in global markets. Although the tablet was teased during the OnePlus 13s launch, it was not released in India, and there had been no update on its launch timeline until now.
For reference, OnePlus had launched the OnePlus Pad 2 during last year’s summer event, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, with prices starting at ₹39,999.
OnePlus Pad 3 specications:
OnePlus Pad 3 features a 13.2-inch 3.4K 144Hz IPS LCD display with 900 nits of peak brightness and a 540Hz touch sampling rate. The tablet includes an eight-speaker setup for an enhanced multimedia experience.
In terms of design, the Pad 3 departs from the circular rear camera module seen on its predecessor and opts instead for a vertical pill-shaped camera island. It packs a thickness of just 5.97mm and weighs in at 675 grams.
The tablet is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, the same chip used in the OnePlus 13 (Review) and OnePlus 13s (Review), and is paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5T RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage.
Running on OxygenOS 15 based on Android 15, the OnePlus Pad 3 is promised three years of OS updates and six years of security patches. Similar to last year’s OnePlus Pad 2, the Pad 3 will also come with all the suite of multi-tasking features including open-canvas, multi-device connect and more.
For cameras, the Pad 3 comes with a 13MP rear camera with LED flash and an 8MP front-facing shooter for video calls and occasional selfies. The device packs a 12,140mAh battery with support for 80W SuperVOOC fast wired charging.
Notable Telugu comedian Venkat Raj, popularly known as Fish Venkat, passed away in Hyderabad on Friday. The actor, who was 53 years old, was battling severe health issues, including kidney failure, for a long time.
While the Hyderabad-born actor was largely known for his comic roles and his unique Telangana dialect, especially in films like Bunny, Aadi, Adhurs, Gabbar Singh andDJ Tillu, the actor also played negative roles in many films. His other notable film appearances include Dil, Attarintiki Daredi, and Nayak. The actor’s last film appearance was earlier this year in Coffee with a Killer, which released in January.
Fish Venkat, who began his acting career in 2000, acquired his screen name because of his background of being in the fish-selling business, which he operated from Musheerabad before becoming an actor.
The actor was suffering from kidney-related problems for about 4 years. For the past 9 months, he was undergoing treatment at RBM hospital in Boduppal. The actor was recently placed on a ventilator after his condition worsened and both his kidneys failed. The actor required a kidney transplant, for which the family had been reportedly seeking financial assistance of Rs 50 lakh for some time now, but not to much avail. Although, a few days ago, Vishwak Sen provided a financial assistance of Rs 2 lakhs for the family.
Fish Venkat is survived by his wife Suvarna and his daughter Sravanthi.

A Texas archaeologist couple recently unearthed the ancient tomb of a legendary king in Central America — a feat that’s been over 40 years in the making.
Arlen Chase and Diane Chase, both professors at the University of Houston, uncovered the 4th-century tomb at the Caracol archaeological site in Belize. The university shared the discovery on July 10. (See the video at the top of this article.)
Caracol was a major Mayan city established in the 300s A.D. The tomb belonged to Te’ K’ab Chaak, the earliest ruler of the city and the founder of its royal dynasty – and it’s the first confirmed royal tomb found at the site.
UTILITY WORKERS DIGGING TRENCHES STUMBLE UPON 1,000-YEAR-OLD MUMMY WITH INTACT HAIR
“Now in ruins, this metropolis was a major political player in Maya history, dominating the southern part of the Yucatan Peninsula from 560 through 680 AD before its abandonment by 900 AD,” the University of Houston said in its press release.
Teʼ Kʼab Chaak’s tomb was filled with treasures, including 11 pottery vessels and carved bone tubes. Excavators also found a mosaic death mask made of jadeite, along with jewelry made from the same type of gemstone.

The Chases are the foremost scholars on Caracol, and this latest excavation is just one of many they’ve conducted.
Their son, Adrian, is also an archaeologist and discovered Caracol’s decentralized water system.
“The true value of the materials is in what they can tell us about the ancient culture.”
Judging from the ruler’s remains, the Chases also found that Te’ K’ab Chaak was 5’7 in height and died at an advanced age. He also had no remaining teeth.
Speaking to Fox News Digital, Arlen Chase called the recently unearthed artifacts “priceless.”

“Professional archaeologists will not put a dollar value on the items they dig up … That being said, the true value of the materials is in what they can tell us about the ancient culture,” the expert described.
ANCIENT CHRISTIAN FIGURINES DISCOVERED IN 1,500-YEAR-OLD DESERT GRAVES
“In this case, most of the individual artifacts are unique, but together they not only tell a story about the individual who once owned them but also enable us to provide a date for the burial.”
Arlen Chase said the artifacts date to 350 A.D. and “include a full range of vessel types for this time period,” including two from the Highlands of Guatemala and shells from the Pacific Ocean.

Both these types of treasures, he noted, were the “result of long-distance trade.”
Arlen Chase also confirmed that archaeologists identified the burial “based on the size of his chamber, the presence of jadeite mosaic death mask and earflares, and everything being covered in cinnabar.”

Diane Chase told Fox News Digital that the ceramic vessels in particular really showed off Teʼ Kʼab Chaak’s status and wealth.
“The two Pacific spondylus shells near his head, the jadeite earflares, the carved jadeite tubular beads, and the mosaic jadeite death mask also show his ability to obtain long-distance prestige items,” she noted.

A car trip between Teotihuacan and Caracol today would take over 23 hours. Ancient people would have had to walk at least 153 days to complete the journey, making the burial offerings particularly special.

Above all, Diane Chase noted that finding a ruler’s burial is “extremely unusual, and important.”
She said, “This is the first one we have discovered within the ancient city of Caracol.”

She added, “Even more important, he is the first ruler of the Caracol dynasty with some 30 other rulers following him (according to the hieroglyphic[s]) before the city was abandoned.”

Leaks are a constant part of big product news cycles, particularly for companies like Apple. Online soothsayers like Jon Prosser and Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman have long predicted the content of upcoming Apple announcements, citing anonymous sources from within the company to glean glimpses of what’s next. They have been correct often enough to become a real pain for the Cupertino company.
Now, Apple has seized upon an opportunity to fight back against leaks. In a complaint filed Thursday in US federal court for the Northern District of California, Apple is accusing prominent leaker Jon Prosser of allegedly scheming to “break into an Apple development iPhone, steal Apple’s trade secrets, and profit from the theft.”
The suit alleges that, along with a co-conspirator, Prosser, who makes videos on the YouTube channel Front Page Tech, deliberately took advantage of an Apple employee named Ethan Lipnik who had access to a developer iPhone running the as-of-yet unreleased software that would become iOS 26. The suit alleges that the other defendant, Michael Ramacciotti, who was staying at Lipnik’s home at the time, waited for Lipnik to leave before accessing the development phone and showing details of the unreleased software to Prosser over a video call. Prosser then allegedly used information obtained in that early peek at iOS in videos that he posted on his YouTube channel well before Apple officially announced the updates.
The suit also alleges that Ramacciotti claims Prosser masterminded the whole plan, promising Ramacciotti he would “find out a way for [Mr. Ramacciotti] to get payment.”
Prosser has denied any wrongdoing and says the details of the suit are incorrect. In public posts on X, Prosser has maintained that this was not how things went down on his end.
“The details that Apple was given are just not accurate,” Prosser wrote to me via a direct message on X. “I had no knowledge of how the info was obtained. He never told me he ‘needed money’ and I absolutely did not instruct him to act this out.”
Prosser doesn’t deny that he did reveal the information gleaned from Ramacciotti. He highlighted the details about the unreleased update in a series of videos earlier this year, including one in which he called the news, “the biggest iOS leak ever.”
Despite the question of how he actually acquired the information, the aftermath has been messy. Ethan Lipnik, the Apple employee who had the development phone that Ramacciotti is alleged to have accessed, was fired by the company. According to the complaint, Apple ended Lipnik’s employment “for failing to follow Apple’s policies designed to protect its confidential information, including development devices and unreleased software and features.”
Apple has not responded to requests for comment. Ethan Lipnik has also not responded to a request for comment.
“It’s quite a significant lawsuit,” says Anshel Sag, principal analyst at the tech research firm Moor Insights & Strategy, in an email. “But I also believe that there is quite a disparity between what Prosser is saying and what Apple alleges, especially since the employee seemed to not be aware of what was going on.”
The biggest problem being alleged here, Sag says, is that while the data was taken from a development device that should have been better protected, how that data was acquired and where it came from should have been vetted before the details were put out into the world.
“Ultimately, every company fights leaks, especially Apple, but with this happening entirely in the US the company has a lot more power and laws to support its efforts,” Sag says. Many Apple leaks have historically come from sources outside the US, such as from within its manufacturing and supply chain partners in Asia. Because the complaint focuses on events that allegedly took place in California, Apple can argue in federal court that two US laws—the Defend Trade Secrets Act and the Computer Fraud And Abuse Act—have been violated.
Prosser says he didn’t even find out about the lawsuit until reading a MacRumors story about the filing.
“I feel awful that Ethan was terminated over this,” Prosser says. “I wish he had shared with Apple what had occurred, and I wish that Apple would have connected with me for more answers—I would have gladly chatted with them.”
MIKROVALNA pećnica spas je u užurbanoj svakodnevici. U trenu podgrijava ostatke ručka i smrznuta jela, čineći pripremu obroka nevjerojatno jednostavnom. Ipak, neke namirnice nikako ne bismo smjeli stavljati u mikrovalnu – ne samo zbog zdravstvenih rizika, već i zbog opasnosti od nereda, pa čak i prave male eksplozije u kuhinji.
Kako bismo izbjegli potencijalne katastrofe i sačuvali zdravlje, savjetnica za prehranu istaknula je vrste hrane koje nikako ne bismo smjeli zagrijavati u mikrovalnoj pećnici.
1. Grožđe
“U mikrovalnoj se događa čudna reakcija kada se zagrijava grožđe, posebno ako se prereže napola, ali obje polovice ostanu spojene kožicom. Tada nastaje plazma, što izgleda kao mali plamen. To se događa zbog neujednačenog zagrijavanja hrane”, objašnjava dijetetičarka i nutricionistica Gabrielle McGrath za EatingWell.
Osim što je opasno, može izazvati i iskre u kuhinji.
2. Cijela sirova jaja
Stavljanje cijelog sirovog jajeta u mikrovalnu pećnicu recept je za katastrofu. Para koja se stvara unutar ljuske nema kamo izaći, što dovodi do naglog porasta tlaka i eksplozije.
“Pokazalo se da cijela sirova jaja mogu eksplodirati kada se zagriju u mikrovalnoj pećnici, pa čak i u ustima nakon što ih zagrizete. To nije samo opasno jer su iznimno vruća i mogu uzrokovati ozljede, nego je i vrlo neuredno”, napominje McGrath.
Ako želimo podgrijati jela s jajima poput quichea, to je sigurno, no sirova jaja trebamo pripremati na klasičan način.
3. Prerađeno meso
Prerađeno meso u mikrovalnoj stvara spojeve oksidacije kolesterola (COP), koji su štetniji od samog kolesterola. “Ti spojevi povećavaju rizik od ateroskleroze i bolesti koronarnih arterija,” kaže McGrath. Zbog toga je najbolje izbjegavati podgrijavanje hrenovki, salama ili drugih prerađenih mesnih proizvoda u mikrovalnoj pećnici.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
4. Mrkva
“Mrkve ne treba zagrijavati u mikrovalnoj pećnici jer mogu izazvati pojavu iskri,” objašnjava McGrath. Razlog su minerali iz tla koje sadrže. Isto vrijedi i za hrenovke, kod kojih iskre mogu nastati zbog soli i aditiva. Ako primijetimo iskrenje, trebamo odmah ugasiti uređaj i hranu pripremiti na drugi način.
5. Sirovo meso
“Kuhanje sirovog mesa u mikrovalnoj nije strogo zabranjeno, ali zahtijeva velik oprez. Mikrovalne pećnice često ne kuhaju hranu ravnomjerno, što je posebno opasno kod mesa poput piletine, koje mora biti u potpunosti termički obrađeno”, ističe dijetetičarka.
Ako se ipak odlučimo na ovaj korak, obavezno trebamo koristiti kuhinjski termometar i provjeriti temperaturu na nekoliko mjesta. Unutarnja temperatura piletine mora doseći najmanje 74 °C kako bi se uništile sve opasne bakterije.
6. Umaci
Gusti umaci, poput onih za tjesteninu, ispod površine mogu stvoriti skrivene vruće točke. Kada promiješamo umak ili ga samo pomaknemo, mjehurić pare može “puknuti” i raspršiti vrući sadržaj po cijeloj kuhinji, ali i po nama.
“Najsigurniji način za podgrijavanje umaka je na štednjaku, uz stalno miješanje koje sprječava stvaranje opasnih vrućih točaka”, ističe McGrath.
Važno je napomenuti i da se neke tekućine, poput obične vode i majčina mlijeka, također ne smiju zagrijavati u mikrovalnoj. “Mikrovalna ne zagrijava ravnomjerno pa se mogu stvoriti ekstremno vruća mjesta u tekućini, što je opasno za bebu,” upozorava McGrath.
Kod vode pak može doći do tzv. superzagrijavanja – vode koja prijeđe točku vrenja bez vidljivog ključanja, a nagli pokret može izazvati iznenadno prskanje i ozbiljne opekline.

Most of the 24 million people in Affordable Care Act health plans face a potential one-two punch next year — double-digit premium increases along with a sharp drop in the federal subsidies that most consumers depend on to buy the coverage, also known as Obamacare.
Insurers want higher premiums to cover the usual culprits — rising medical and labor costs and usage — but are tacking on extra percentage point increases in their 2026 rate proposals to cover effects of policy changes advanced by the Trump administration and the Republican-controlled Congress. One key factor built into their filings with state insurance departments: uncertainty over whether Congress allows more generous, covid-era ACA tax subsidies to expire at the end of December.
“The out-of-pocket change for individuals will be immense, and many won’t actually be able to make ends meet and pay premiums, so they will go uninsured,” said JoAnn Volk, co-director of the Center on Health Insurance Reforms at Georgetown University.
Especially if the higher subsidies expire, insurance premiums will be among the first financial pains felt by health care consumers after policy priorities put forward by President Donald Trump and the GOP. Many other changes — such as additional paperwork requirements and spending cuts to Medicaid — won’t occur for at least another year. But spiking ACA premiums, as the nation heads into key midterm elections, invites political pushback. Some on Capitol Hill are exploring ways to temper the subsidy reductions.
“I am hearing on both sides — more from Republicans, but from both the House and Senate” — that they are looking for levers they can pull, said Pennsylvania-based insurance broker Joshua Brooker, who follows legislative actions as part of his job and sits on several insurance advisory groups.
In initial filings, insurers nationally are seeking a median rate increase — meaning half of the proposed increases are lower and half higher — of 15%, according to an analysis for the Peterson-KFF Health System Tracker covering 19 states and the District of Columbia. KFF is a national health information nonprofit that includes KFF Health News.
That’s up sharply from the last few years. For the 2025 plan year, for example, KFF found that the median proposed increase was 7%.

Health insurers “are doing everything in their power to shield consumers from the rising costs of care and the uncertainty in the market driven by recent policy changes,” wrote Chris Bond, a spokesperson for AHIP, the industry’s lobbying group. The emailed response also called on lawmakers “to take action to extend the health care tax credits to prevent skyrocketing cost increases for millions of Americans in 2026.”
Neither the White House nor the Department of Health and Human Services responded to requests for comment.
These are initial numbers and insurance commissioners in some states may alter requests before approval.
Still, “it’s the biggest increase we’ve seen in over five years,” said analysis co-author Cynthia Cox, a KFF vice president and director of its Program on the ACA.
Premiums will vary based on where consumers live, the type of plan they choose, and their insurer.
For example, Maryland insurers have requested increases ranging from 8.1% to 18.7% for the upcoming plan year, according to an analysis of a smaller set of insurers by Georgetown University researchers. A much larger swing is seen in New York, where one carrier is asking for less than a 1% increase, while another wants 66%. Maryland rate filings indicated the average statewide increase would shrink to 7.9% from 17.1% — if the ACA’s enhanced tax credits are extended.
Most insurers are asking for 10% to 20% increases, the KFF report says, with several factors driving those increases. For instance, insurers say underlying medical costs — including the use of expensive obesity drugs — will add about 8% to premiums for next year. And most insurers are also adding 4% above what they would have charged had the enhanced tax credits been renewed.
But rising premiums are just part of the picture.
A bigger potential change for consumers’ pocketbooks hinges on whether Congress decides to extend more generous tax credits first put in place during President Joe Biden’s term as part of the American Rescue Plan Act in 2021, then extended through the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022.
Those laws raised the subsidy amounts people could receive based on their household income and local premium costs and removed a cap that had barred higher earners from even partial subsidy assistance. Higher earners could still qualify for some subsidy but first had to chip in 8.5% of their household income toward the premiums.
Across the board, but especially among lower-income policyholders, bigger subsidies helped fuel record enrollment in ACA plans.
But they’re also costly.
A permanent extension could cost $335 billion over the next decade, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
Such an extension was left out of the policy law Trump signed on July 4 that he called the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” Without action, the extra subsidies will expire at the end of this year, after which the tax credits will revert to less generous pre-pandemic levels.
That means two things: Most enrollees will be on the hook to pay a larger share of their premiums as assistance from federal tax credits declines. Secondly, people whose household income exceeds four times the federal poverty level — $84,600 for a couple or $128,600 for a family of four this year — won’t get any subsidies at all.
If the subsidies expire, policy experts estimate, the average amount people pay for coverage could rise by an average of more than 75%. In some states, ACA premiums could double.
“There will be sticker shock,” said Josh Schultz, strategic engagement manager at Softheon, a New York consulting firm that provides enrollment, billing, and other services to about 200 health insurers, many of which are bracing for enrollment losses.
And enrollment could fall sharply. The Wakely Consulting Group estimates that the combination of expiring tax credits, the Trump law’s new paperwork, and other requirements will result in ACA enrollment dropping by as much as 57%.
According to KFF, insurers added premium increases of around 4% just to cover the expiration of the enhanced tax credits, which they fear will lead to lower enrollment. That would further raise costs, insurers say, because people who are less healthy are more likely to grit their teeth and reenroll, leaving insurers with a smaller, but sicker, pool of members.
Less common in the filings submitted so far, but noticeable, are increases pegged to Trump administration tariffs, Cox said.
“What they are assuming is tariffs will drive drug costs up significantly, with some saying that can have around a 3-percentage-point increase” in premiums as a result, she said.
Consumers will learn their new premium prices only late in the fall, or when open enrollment for the ACA begins on Nov. 1 and they can start shopping around.
Congress could still act, and discussions are ongoing, said insurance broker Brooker.
Some lawmakers, he said, are consulting with the CBO about the fiscal and coverage effects of various scenarios that don’t extend the subsidies as they currently exist but may offer a middle ground. One possibility involves allowing subsidies for families earning as much as five or six times the poverty level, he said.
But any such effort will draw pushback.
Some conservative think tanks, such as the Paragon Health Institute, say the more generous subsides led people to fudge their incomes to qualify and led to other types of fraud, such as brokers signing people up for ACA plans without authorization.
Allowing the enhanced subsidies to expire could also reshape the market.
Brooker said some people may drop coverage. Others will shift to plans with lower premiums but higher deductibles. One provision of Trump’s new tax law allows people enrolled in either “bronze” or “catastrophic”-level ACA plans, which are usually the cheapest, to qualify for health savings accounts, which allow people to set aside money, tax-free, to cover health care costs.
“Naturally, if rates do start going up the way we anticipate, there will be a migration to lower-cost options,” Brooker said.
How much can you actually earn with a verified casino betting ID? Discover real earning potential, benefits of ID verification, and why trusted platforms matter.
Casino betting has evolved rapidly in today’s digital age. It’s no longer only perceived as pure luck—it’s all about access now. One of the biggest changes has been made to verified casino betting IDs.
But how much can you really get access to a betting ID? Is it even worth the hype? Let’s take a closer look, keeping it simple and straightforward.
The Power of a Verified Casino Betting ID
Acquiring an Online casino in India is not just a new term, but it can be a serious means of getting you safer, bigger, and frequent earnings. Platforms prefer customers with a verified ID.
If you are a verified user, your withdrawal requests are prioritized, your access to higher stake tables is improved, and your bonus tournament access is prioritized.
Why Verified IDs Lead to Better Earnings
1. Higher Limits
Verified IDs have higher limits for deposits and withdrawals. Higher limits mean that you can bet bigger and win bigger.
2. Faster Withdrawals
Most unverified accounts have delays with withdrawals. If you are using a best betting ID, you’ll be able to access your money quickly, often within 24 hours.
3. Exclusive Games
Some games only allow verified users. These games include jackpot rounds, invite-only tournaments, and high-odds live tables.
What Factors Affect Your Earnings with a Betting ID?
Earnings don’t come just with verified IDs. Here’s what also influences earnings:
Game Type
Slots are a game of chance, while poker and sports betting require skill. Choose games that you excel in.
Betting Strategy
Limiting your spend daily, betting at intervals, and not doubling down on consecutive losses. These small steps all contribute to maximizing your earnings.
Time Spent
The longer you play, the more bets you will have, and the more chances you have to earn money. Always balance time spent with responsible gambling.
Avoiding Common Mistakes
Having an online casino id does not guarantee you will make money. You need to follow your first three points to play correctly. Avoid these common mistakes:
Chasing losses: Most of the time, this will lead to bigger losses.
Neglecting business: Each game is different, so be sure you understand how to play before you wager.

KADA se jednog dana u lipnju vratila kući, vlasnica labradora Sydneyja nije bila spremna na prizor koji ju je dočekao. Umjesto veselog mahanja repom na vratima, njezin ljubimac bio je bespomoćno zapleten u dugoj zavjesi.
Vlasnica, koja na TikToku objavljuje pod imenom @sydney_hallie1, podijelila je urnebesnu snimku nezgode koja je prikupila tisuće pregleda. “Sydov mađioničarski trik… još uvijek ne znam kako mu je ovo pošlo za rukom”, napisala je u opisu videa.
Iako zarobljen u tkanini, Sydney je izgledao prilično smireno, strpljivo čekajući da ga netko oslobodi.
Snimka koja je objavljena u lipnju brzo je privukla pažnju korisnika društvene mreže. “Dobar mađioničar nikad ne otkriva svoje tajne”, našalio se jedan korisnik. Drugi je dodao: “Kako ta karniša još uvijek stoji na zidu? Moj labrador bi je vukao po cijeloj kući.”
Jedan je korisnik savršeno je opisao kako izgleda život sa psom: “Nikad dosadno.”

Koliko dugo pas smije biti sam?
Sydneyjeva avantura, osim što je nasmijala tisuće, potaknula je i vječno pitanje: koliko dugo psi uopće smiju ostati sami kod kuće? Stručnjaci se slažu da odrasli psi u dobi od jedne do sedam godina mogu bez problema provesti sami između četiri i osam sati. Ako ih ostavite same duže od osam sati, to kod njih može kod izazvati tjeskobu ili dovesti do obavljanja nužde po kući.
S druge strane, štenci mlađi od šest mjeseci ne bi smjeli biti sami duže od dva do tri sata, a isto pravilo vrijedi i za starije pse te one s posebnim zdravstvenim potrebama. Ključno je, naravno, osigurati im sigurno okruženje.
Prije odlaska uvijek sklonite sve potencijalno opasne predmete da im budu nedostupni. Neki se vlasnici odlučuju i za korištenje boksa kako bi bili potpuno mirni dok su odsutni.
Sydney je nakon svoje eskapade prošao bez ozljeda, no njegov nestašluk podsjetio je vlasnicu na važnost sigurnosti. Zanimljivo je da je na snimci vlasničin drugi pas, Hallie, bio u boksu, zbog čega je jedan gledatelj u šali komentirao: “Čini se da je krivi pas bio u boksu.”

LENI Klum, kći supermodela Heidi Klum, odavno je dokazala da jabuka ne pada daleko od stabla kada je moda u pitanju. Nedavno je ponovno zablistala na jednom događanju, pokazavši istančan osjećaj za stil jednostavnom, ali nevjerojatno efektnom kombinacijom. Pritom je svjesno prekršila jedno od temeljnih modnih pravila i još jednom potvrdila svoj status modne profesionalke.
Ponekad je tajna sjajnog stajlinga upravo u jednostavnosti, a ležeran outfit mlade Leni Klum to savršeno potvrđuje. Manekenka je odjenula bijelu predimenzioniranu košulju i spojila je sa širokim trapericama srednje plave boje. Ovim je potezom prekršila nepisano pravilo koje nalaže da se dva široka komada odjeće ne bi trebala nositi zajedno.
Iako bi mnogi pomislili da će takva kombinacija djelovati bezoblično ili nemarno, Leni je pokazala upravo suprotno – kako spoj širokih krojeva može izgledati iznimno moderno i šik. Kada se odlučite za klasične komade poput bijele košulje i traperica, igra proporcijama stvara opušten, a istovremeno elegantan dojam.
Ključ je u detaljima
Za dodatnu dozu elegancije zaslužni su pažljivo odabrani modni dodaci. Cipele sa šiljastim vrhom i visokom potpeticom vizualno izdužuju noge, dok je jarko crvena torbica unijela dašak boje i razigranosti u cijelu kombinaciju.
Uvriježeno mišljenje da široke hlače i široki gornji dijelovi nisu dobar spoj potječe iz vremena kada je naglasak uvijek bio na isticanju siluete, a modne konvencije se nisu preispitivale, piše Glamour Magazine.

Danas je, međutim, jasno da oversized izgled može biti ne samo moderan, već i laskav te sofisticiran. Lepršavi materijali nježno prate liniju tijela, ne skrivajući je, te stvaraju dojam moderne nonšalancije i elegancije koji je daleko od nekadašnjeg “vrećastog” izgleda.
Bilo da kombinirate široke hlače s opuštenim sakoom ili traperice s predimenzioniranom košuljom, igra volumenom postala je nezaobilazan dio suvremenog odijevanja. A najbolji dio? Osim što je nevjerojatno šik , ujedno je i udobno.
Volimo to ponavljati: moda živi od eksperimentiranja. Pravila postoje da bi se kršila – pogotovo kada je rezultat ovako uvjerljiv kao u slučaju Leni Klum.
Kako postići ovaj look?
Želite li iskopirati ovaj stil, birajte kvalitetne osnovne komade: traperice širokih nogavica koje vam dobro stoje i košulju širokog kroja. Dodajte nekoliko upečatljivih modnih dodataka i dobit ćete kombinaciju koja dokazuje da stara modna pravila slobodno možete baciti u zaborav.

Meta Platforms has recruited two senior artificial intelligence (AI) researchers from Apple, in what marks another major coup in the intensifying competition for top-tier AI talent. The appointments follow closely on the heels of Meta’s high-profile acquisition of Ruoming Pang, the former head of Apple’s large language model (LLM) division.
Mark Lee and Tom Gunter, both previously pivotal figures in Apple’s AI efforts, have been brought on board Meta’s Superintelligence Labs team, according to individuals familiar with the matter. While Lee has already commenced his new role, Gunter is expected to join in the near future. Meta has not officially confirmed the hires.
The move underscores Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s commitment to positioning the company at the forefront of AI development. Zuckerberg has made AI a central strategic priority, pledging massive investment in personnel and infrastructure to rival the capabilities of OpenAI and Google. Just this week, he declared on Threads that Meta would “invest hundreds of billions of dollars into compute to build superintelligence”.
Gunter, previously a distinguished engineer at Apple, left the company last month and briefly joined another AI venture before making the switch to Meta. Lee, reportedly the first hire made by Pang at Apple, also exited recently. Both were considered integral to Apple’s Foundation Models (AFM) team, the group behind the company’s generative AI projects.
Meta’s offer to Pang, which included a compensation package exceeding $200 million, appears to have set a precedent. Gunter and several others in Meta’s AI division are believed to have secured similarly lucrative multiyear contracts, valued at over $100 million.
These aggressive recruitment tactics come as Apple grapples with growing internal uncertainty. Its AFM division, responsible for developing proprietary AI models for Siri and Apple Intelligence, is in flux, with senior leaders reportedly weighing the use of third-party models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Anthropic’s Claude for upcoming products.
Apple’s top AI executives, including Research Head Daphne Luong and SVP John Giannandrea, are now collaborating with software chiefs Craig Federighi and Mike Rockwell to decide the strategic direction of Siri and associated AI services, ahead of a planned rollout next spring.
In response to Meta’s poaching efforts, Apple has started offering pay increases to some members of the AFM team, estimated to be around 100 strong, in an attempt to retain key personnel. However, these incentives reportedly fall far short of the eye-watering sums Meta is willing to commit.
Democratic Senator Adam Schiff, who was on Colbert’s show the night he announced it would be ending, said: “If Paramount and CBS ended the ‘Late Show’ for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better.”
Talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, who has his own late night program “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” for ABC, was among the celebrities that condemned CBS’s decision. “Love you Stephen.”
CBS said in its Thursday statement it was “proud that Stephen called CBS home”, adding: “He and the broadcast will be remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late night television.”
Colbert, one of the most popular American comedians who made use of humor in his incisive political commentatary, succeeded David Letterman as the host of “The Late Show” in 2015.
Before that Colbert was a regular on Comedy Central alongside fellow talk show host and political pundit Jon Stewart.
The late-night television landscape has long been dominated by satirical comedy shows that blend entertainment with political commentary.
For decades, programmes such as “The Late Show”, “The Tonight Show,” and “Late Night” have served as television touchstones, with hosts like Johnny Carson, Jay Leno, David Letterman and more recently Colbert and Jimmy Fallon shaping public discourse through humour and celebrity interviews.
Investors can express their view on SEBI consultation paper by August 8.

Capital markets regulator SEBI is planning to allow equity mutual fund schemes to diversify by investing a residual portion in other asset classes such as debt, gold, silver, REITs and InvITs.
Residual portion refers to the remaining part of the scheme’s assets that is not invested in the primary asset class as defined by the scheme’s category. For instance, large-cap funds have to invest a minimum of 80 per cent in large-cap, while fund managers can invest the residual portion of 20 per cent in other categories such as mid- and small-caps.
Flexibility Sought
In a consultation paper issued on Friday, SEBI has sought investors’ views on a proposal to provide flexibility to the fund manager to deploy the residual portion in other permissible asset classes, to manage liquidity and risk.
The MF industry has grown significantly both in terms of assets under management (AUM) and investor participation since the initial categorisation norms were announced in 2020, said SEBI.
The surge has been accompanied by evolving investor preferences, diversification of asset allocation strategies and the emergence of new investment avenues such as REITs/InvITs.
Based on representations received from the industry and AMFI, a need was felt to review the categorisation circular to allow flexibility for product innovation while maintaining investor protection and scheme clarity.
It was noted that in case of some schemes, there was a significant overlap of portfolios and need was felt necessary to introduce clear limits to the industry to avoid schemes with similar portfolios, it said.
Investors can express their view on SEBI consultation paper by August 8.
Debt category schemes will also be allowed to invest the residual portion in REITs and InvITs, except for the schemes with shorter duration, such as Overnight Fund, Liquid Fund, Ultra-Short Duration Fund, Low Duration Fund and Money Market Fund.
Broader access
Sunil Subramaniam, CEO of independent think-tank Sense and Simplicity, said SEBI’s move to allow equity and debt schemes to invest in REITs and InvITs will deepen the new asset class market.
The regulator’s decision to allow fund houses to launch new schemes in the same category if the existing fund achieves ₹50,000 crore AUM and completes 5 years of operations will provide fund managers to have a similar portfolio in the new scheme without testing the individual single stock cap fixed by SEBI, he said.
To safeguard investors’ interest, he added that SEBI has capped the TER of the new scheme to that of the old scheme and also stopped fresh fund flow into the old scheme.
However, Subramaniam said it has to be clarified whether the long-running SIP in the old scheme will still continue, as changing the bank mandate from the old scheme to the new one will be a big task for investors.

Local residents of Mexico City have been making their feelings known about unwanted tourists visiting their home areas.
Residents were protesting mass tourism over the weekend, with hundreds of people taking to the streets and demanding stricter housing laws and legislation to regulate tourism levels.
On Wednesday, it appears that government officials caved to the requests by announcing a preliminary plan to address gentrification and the other concerns of locals, The Associated Press (AP) reported.
AMERICANS TARGETED IN MEXICO CITY AS LOCALS PROTEST AGAINST TOURISM AND SOARING RENTS
Clara Brugada, Mexico City mayor, said landlords will not be allowed to increase rents above inflation.
Meanwhile, authorities will have a list of “reasonable rental” proposals to share, according to AP.

Brugada said her administration will consult residents on her proposal, with the goal of drafting legislation that incorporates measures to keep rents affordable.
Earlier this month, an initially peaceful march took a turn when a small group of people in masks began smashing storefronts, looting and harassing foreigners, Fox News Digital reported earlier.

Upon receiving the Lettuce Grow Indoor Farmstand in the mail, I did not expect that I’d be enjoying some tea before I’d even unwrapped all the parts.
“Is that … Zooey Deschanel? With a Dollar Tree Property Brother?” my husband asked, peering over my shoulder as I unpacked various tubes and parts. And indeed, among the boxes was a glossy handout of a slightly younger-looking Zooey, standing with a man who did vaguely resemble her current husband, Jonathan Scott, of Property Brothers fame. Turns out it was her ex-husband, film producer Jacob Pechenik, with whom she had created this indoor hydroponic gardening system in 2019.
Even though they split shortly thereafter, they continued to run Lettuce Grow together after their 2020 divorce, and an Instagram photo from July 1 even shows Deschanel flanked by Pechenik on one side and Scott on the other, debuting a Lettuce Grow collab with Costco. Apparently Pechenik runs day-to-day operations and Deschanel continues to promote the company through social media, according to a 2023 People interview with the former couple. If Scott has thoughts on this whole setup, he hasn’t shared them publicly. (Deschanel and Pechenik have two children together.)
Anyway, perhaps as befitting a celebrity endorsement, the Lettuce Grow is quite dramatic-looking for an indoor hydroponic garden, evoking a giant, space-age version of the terra cotta strawberry planter you probably remember from your grandma’s house. Even better, it delivers on its promises of growing many plants and vegetables indoors—even peppers and tomatoes—within a small footprint. There are, of course, a few caveats.
Bringing Outdoors Indoors

As far as indoor hydroponic garden assemblies go, Lettuce Grow’s was easy enough for pretty much anyone to figure out—second-easiest of the four systems I’m currently testing, behind only the Gardyn (9/10, WIRED Recommends). There are seven versions of the Farmstand: outdoor or indoor, each in small (18 plant slots), medium (24 plant slots), or large (36 plant slots); and the smaller indoor Nook, with 20 plant slots. I tested the medium, 24-slot indoor version for six weeks in a low-light corner near my downstairs bathroom.
When you buy a Farmstand, you also get credits for ordering live, pre-grown seedlings that you can buy later, at a time of your choosing. I recommend ordering after you’ve received and assembled your Farmstand. The selection (you get to choose) spans about 100 flowers, herbs, greens, and vegetables like cucumbers, tomatoes, broccoli, and bell peppers, though once you’ve ordered you might want to make sure you have some insecticide on hand.
Like most indoor gardening systems, the indoor Farmstand’s LED lights and pump run on a timer. My Farmstand included two old-school analog timers, the kind with the infuriating little prongs that must be toggled. Lettuce Grow offers a smart timer upgrade for $24, which I also tested. The company also has an app, which kept disconnecting from the device and which I ended up abandoning halfway through. Of these, I preferred the smart timer, and I was able to set the lights to turn off at night. (They must run for 14 hours, but you can set which hours.) I set the pump to run every hour on the hour. (Note that the water sprayed by the pump does make a startlingly loud splashing sound due to the Farmstand’s cavernous interior, so you may not want it in a home office or bedroom or anywhere the noise could become a disturbance.)
밤알바 퇴근 교통편은 어떻게 해요? 이 질문은 많은 밤알바 초보자들이 가지는 가장 현실적인 고민 중 하나입니다. 밤알바는 대부분 자정 이후 또는 새벽까지 근무하는 형태가 많기 때문에, 퇴근 시간에는 대중교통이 끊기는 경우가 많습니다. 따라서 사전에 퇴근 교통편을 잘 알아보고 계획하는 것이 매우 중요합니다. 교통편이 원활하지 않으면 안전 문제뿐만 아니라 생활 리듬 전체에 영향을 줄 수 있기 때문입니다.
가장 일반적인 방법은 자차 이용입니다. 자동차나 오토바이를 보유하고 있다면 밤알바 퇴근 시 큰 불편 없이 이동할 수 있습니다. 이 경우 퇴근 시간에 맞춰 차량을 주차해둘 장소가 있는지, 그리고 도로 상태가 어떤지를 미리 파악해두는 것이 좋습니다. 또한 밤 시간은 교통량이 적어 운전은 편하지만, 졸음운전의 위험이 크기 때문에 반드시 충분한 휴식을 취한 뒤 운전해야 합니다.
대중교통을 이용하는 경우, 퇴근 시간이 새벽 5시 이후라면 첫차를 타고 귀가할 수 있습니다. 서울과 같은 대도시의 경우 지하철은 대략 오전 5시 30분부터 운행을 시작하며, 버스는 노선에 따라 다르지만 비슷한 시간대에 운행을 시작합니다. 따라서 밤알바가 오전 6시쯤 끝나는 일정이라면 대중교통으로 충분히 귀가할 수 있습니다. 그러나 만약 새벽 2시나 3시에 퇴근해야 한다면, 이 시간에는 일반적인 지하철이나 버스가 운행되지 않기 때문에 대체 수단을 고민해야 합니다.
밤알바 퇴근 교통편은 어떻게 해요?
이런 경우 가장 많이 이용되는 방법 중 하나가 택시입니다. 요즘은 다양한 택시 호출 앱이 있어서 손쉽게 차량을 부를 수 있고, 목적지를 입력하면 예상 요금도 미리 확인할 수 있어 유용합니다. 단점은 비용이 높다는 점인데, 특히 장거리 이동이나 심야 할증 시간대에는 부담이 클 수 있습니다. 그래서 몇몇 알바생들은 동료들과 함께 퇴근 시간을 맞춰 택시를 합승하기도 하며, 이렇게 하면 비용을 나눌 수 있어 경제적입니다.
최근에는 심야 전용 버스나 심야 공유 차량 서비스도 등장하고 있어, 밤알바 퇴근 시 좋은 대안이 될 수 있습니다. 일부 지역에서는 ‘올빼미 버스’라 불리는 심야 버스를 운행하고 있으며, 주요 노선 중심으로 운행되기 때문에 경로가 맞는다면 안전하고 저렴하게 귀가할 수 있는 수단이 됩니다. 또한 카셰어링 서비스를 이용해 단기간 차량을 대여하여 퇴근하는 방법도 있습니다.
퇴근 교통편이 여의치 않은 경우에는 알바 장소를 선택할 때 집과의 거리를 고려하는 것이 좋습니다. 또는 고용주와 협의하여 교통비 지원이 가능한지, 픽업 또는 드롭 서비스가 제공되는지를 미리 확인하는 것도 방법입니다. 밤알바는 근무 시간보다 퇴근 후의 동선도 매우 중요하므로, 안전하고 편리한 귀가 방법을 사전에 준비하는 것이 필수입니다.
UNOS dovoljne količine proteina ključan je za očuvanje zdravlja, osobito kako starimo. Proteini su važni za očuvanje mišićne mase, stabilizaciju energije, hormonalnu ravnotežu i osjećaj sitosti. No dok su proteinski prašci i dodaci prehrani postali vrlo popularni, istina je da ih mnogima nije lako uklopiti u svakodnevnu prehranu – bilo zbog okusa, cijene, navika ili jednostavno preferencija.
Dobra vijest je da postoje brojni načini kako povećati unos proteina prirodnim putem, bez ikakve potrebe za skupim dodacima prehrani. Donosimo vam konkretne savjete i ideje za svaki dio dana – od doručka do večere.
Jutro: počnite dan proteinski
Za doručak većina ljudi bira ugljikohidrate – kruh, pahuljice, pekarske proizvode – no upravo ovdje možemo napraviti veliku promjenu.
Jaja su izvrstan izvor proteina – u prosjeku jedno jaje sadrži oko 6 grama. Ako doručkujete 2 do 3 jaja (ili fritatu, kajganu, kuhana jaja), već ste unijeli 15 do 20 grama proteina.
Ako vam treba nešto praktičnije za ponijeti na posao, pripremite:
Mini omlete s povrćem u kalupima za muffine
Sendvič od integralnog kruha s kuhanim jajima i avokadom
Za dodatni proteinski poticaj, kombinirajte jaja s grčkim jogurtom (oko 10 g po porciji) i dodajte žlicu konopljinih ili lanenih sjemenki. Također, obroku možete dodati i malo dimljenog lososa ili posni sir.
Ručak: salata, ali uz obilje proteina
Salate su odličan izbor za lagani ručak, ali često sadrže premalo proteina. Ključ je u dodacima.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Evo nekoliko jednostavnih i pristupačnih opcija:
Pečeni tofu – dvije porcije daju 16 g proteina. Isprobajte marinade s balzamičnim octom, sojom i limetom.
Salata od tune i slanutka – idealna kombinacija proteina i vlakana; jedna porcija daje oko 15 g proteina.
Marinirani grah ili leća – odličan dodatak salatama ili žitaricama (poput kvinoje), s oko 14 g proteina po šalici.
Uz to možete dodati:
Sireve (feta, mozzarella, parmezan)
Orašaste plodove i sjemenke
Tvrdo kuhana jaja
Večera: bez puno kompliciranja, ali s dovoljno proteina
Večera ne mora biti obilna, ali može biti pametno osmišljena. Evo nekoliko primjera:

Zapečena jela (npr. složenac s piletinom, kvinojom i povrćem) lako se pripremaju, a bogata su proteinima i vlaknima.
Zdjele s cjelovitim žitaricama – kombinirajte kvinoju ili rižu s piletinom, lososom, tofuom ili grahom, povrćem i preljevima od jogurta ili humusa.
Tortilje – punjene piletinom ili puretinom, grahom, uz sir i jogurt, osiguravaju 25–30 g proteina po obroku.
Ako večera nije bila dovoljna, posegnite za zdravim desertom s dodatnim proteinima:
Chia puding u biljnom ili kravljem mlijeku
Jogurt s orašastim plodovima i voćem
Proteini bez praha – lako i dostupno
Unos dovoljno proteina dnevno ne mora značiti kompliciranu prehranu ni skupe dodatke. Uključivanjem namirnica kao što su jaja, mliječni proizvodi, tofu, grah, slanutak, orašasti plodovi i cjelovite žitarice, možete dostići taj cilj na ukusan, zdrav i prirodan način.
Ključ je u planiranju i ravnoteži kroz dan – raspodijelite unos proteina u sva tri glavna obroka i po potrebi dodajte međuobrok.

IZNENADNA smrt mačka Georgea nakon rutinskog stomatološkog zahvata ostavila je njegove vlasnike iz Ohija u šoku i tuzi. No nitko nije teže podnio gubitak od njegovog najboljeg prijatelja, zlatnog retrivera Murraya. Pas je bio neutješan, a prizor njegovog slomljenog srca potaknuo je vlasnike na potez koji je dirnuo stotine tisuća ljudi na internetu.
Nakon što je mačak George neočekivano uginuo u veterinarskoj klinici zbog komplikacija, njegovi su se vlasnici vratili kući slomljenog srca, suočeni s teškim zadatkom – kako objasniti psu da se njegov dugogodišnji prijatelj više nikada neće vratiti.
Slomljeno srce i neobjašnjiva tuga
Povratak kući bez Georgea bio je mučan. “Bilo je teško vratiti se Murrayu bez njega, a ne možete mu objasniti što se dogodilo. Samo smo plakali”, ispričali su vlasnici za Newsweek. Ubrzo su primijetili da se Murrayevo ponašanje drastično promijenilo. “Pokazivao je jasne znakove tuge. Bio je jako tjeskoban, besciljno je lutao kućom i nasumično lajao. Nikad nije bio odvojen od Georgea i shvatili smo da je nevjerojatno usamljen.”
Novi prijatelji kao lijek
Kako bi pomogli Murrayu, ali i sebi, odlučili su učiniti nešto pozitivno i udomiti dva mačića iz lokalnog skloništa. No, prije nego što su Ash i Oreo stigli u novi dom, vlasnici su snimili dirljiv trenutak koji je postao viralan. Odveli su Murraya u trgovinu za kućne ljubimce da sam odabere igračke za svoje nove prijatelje.

Snimka koja prikazuje Murraya kako ponovno pronalazi radost u iščekivanju novih članova obitelji u samo je nekoliko dana prikupila više od 600.000 pregleda na TikToku, uz bezbroj lajkova i komentara podrške.
Iako tuga za Georgeom i dalje postoji, dolazak Asha i Orea pokazao se kao najbolja odluka. Vlasnici kažu kako je njihov desetogodišnji Murray ponovno živnuo i zaigran je kao nikad prije, sretan što opet ima mačje društvo.

AKO se Apple bude držao dosadašnjeg rasporeda, novu iPhone 17 seriju trebao bi predstaviti početkom rujna. Apple još nije službeno otkrio detalje o novoj seriji, ali neslužbene informacije i špekulacije već mjesecima kruže internetom. Osim dizajnerskih promjena koje se spominju, pažnju su privukle i moguće boje u kojima bi novi modeli mogli biti dostupni.
Početkom tjedna pojavile su se fotke koje prikazuju, kako se tvrdi, obrube kamera za sve nadolazeće modele iPhonea 17. Na temelju tih nijansi, nekoliko portala, uključujući AppleInsider, izradilo je neslužbene rendere koji prikazuju moguće boje nove serije.
Neslužbeni render iPhonea 17 Pro i Pro Max modela
AppleInsider navodi da su njihovi renderi temeljeni na “raširenim glasinama i nagađanjima”. Velik dio tih informacija dolazi iz izvještaja Macworlda koji tvrdi da je došao do internog Appleova dokumenta s detaljima o nadolazećim bojama, uključujući Pantone oznake.
Prema tim navodima, iPhone 17 Pro i iPhone 17 Pro Max mogli bi stići u pet boja: narančastoj, tamnoplavoj, sivoj, crnoj i srebrnoj. Detaljnije rendere pogledajte ovdje.
To bi značilo značajan odmak od palete iPhonea 16 Pro. Crna i siva nijansa navodno odgovaraju Black Titanium i Natural Titanium modelima iz prethodne generacije, no narančasta, tamnoplava i srebrna nijansa nisu ne podudaraju se ni s jednom trenutno dostupnom bojom u Pro kategoriji iPhonea, prenosi TechRadar.
Što se zna o bojama iPhonea 17 i 17 Air?
AppleInsider je izradio rendere i za osnovni iPhone 17 izvan Pro linije nadolazeće serije, koja bi trebala uključivati i iPhone 17 Air. Te su vizualizacije također temeljene na informacijama iz nedavnog Macworld izvještaja.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Prema njemu, iPhone 17 navodno će biti dostupan u šest varijanti: crna, bijela, čelično siva, zelena, ljubičasta i svijetloplava. Crna i bijela trebale bi biti iste kao one koje se nalaze na iPhoneu 16, dok su preostale četiri nove.
Što se tiče modela iPhone 17 Air, prema glasinama koje je početkom srpnja objavio leaker Majin Bu, on bi mogao stići u crnoj, bijeloj, svijetloplavoj i nježno zlatnoj boji. Crna bi trebala ostati ista kao i dosad, dok bi bijela bila nešto svjetlija u odnosu na prethodnu generaciju.
Narančasta verzija Pro modela izazvala ogroman interes
Neslužbeni renderi i nagađanja o novim bojama brzo su se proširili društvenim mrežama, a najviše pažnje privukla je upravo – narančasta verzija Pro modela.
“Sumnjam da bi se usudili biti toliko hrabri s narančastom u Pro liniji. Vjerojatnije je da se radi o bakrenoj ili nijansi nalik boji pijeska”, komentirao je jedan korisnik Reddita u raspravi koja je u jednom danu prikupila preko 800 komentara.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
“I ja sam to mislio, ali čini se da podsjeća na Apple Watch Ultra”, nadovezao se drugi. “Definitivno bih uzeo narančasti”, dodao je još netko. “Završne boje su uvijek drugačije od ranih leakova. Nema šanse da Apple izbaci baš tu boju u Pro liniji. Vjerojatno će to biti neka slična nijansa, ali malo prigušenija”, napisao je još jedan korisnik.
Bilo je i onih koji su izjavili da bi, ako se narančasti iPhone stvarno pojavi, odmah posegnuli za novčanikom. “Uzeo bih ga bez razmišljanja!”, “Narančasta gori”, “Samo zbog te boje sam uzbuđen oko nove serije”, “Zapravo volim tu nijansu”, “Toliko želim tu narančastu, ali jednostavno ZNAM da Apple neće izbaciti hrpu suptilnih boja i onda jednu upadljivu, pogotovo ne u Pro liniji”, pisali su.
No, nisu svi oduševljeni. Neki su se nadali drugim bojama. “Nadala sam se ružičastoj ili zelenoj verziji Pro modela”, “Što se dogodilo s ružičastom ili ružičasto-zlatnom? Obožavam svoj Pink 15 Plus”, “Ta narančasta je tako čudna nijansa”, komentirali su.
Pojedini korisnici nisu bili impresionirani nijednom od mogućih boja. “Apple se zaista prestao truditi”, “Ne, hvala. Ostat ću na svom 16 Pro Max još godinu-dvije”, “Tako su ružni”, “O wow, sve je meh”, zaključili su.

Mumbai, July 18: Indian Super League (ISL) side Bengaluru FC has always believed in looking beyond just short-term glory. While many clubs have brought in foreign stars and big names, the Blues have steadily worked towards something more lasting, nurturing a solid pool of homegrown players for the future, as per the official website of the ISL. Since joining the ISL in 2017, the Blues have stood out not just for their competitive consistency but also for their commitment to developing young players through their academy. Sunil Chhetri Issues Rallying Cry Amid Indian Super League 2025–26 Uncertainty, Says ‘We’ll Ride This Storm Together’.
Their youth system has been engineered to produce first-team players capable of holding their own on the ISL stage. Over the years, the club has steadily promoted players from its academy setup, nurturing them into regular contributors and in some cases, national team players.
Bengaluru FC’s focus on youth development can be traced back to their early I-League days. But with the transition to the ISL, the vision became sharper. Efforts were made in scouting, coaching and creating a clear pathway from the academy to the senior squad.
The club’s reserve team, which competes in leagues like the Reliance Foundation Development League (RFDL) and the Bangalore District Football Association (BDFA) Super Division, has served as a key bridge. It has provided a competitive environment where young players can learn the club’s philosophy, adapt to match intensity and get consistent game time before making the step up to the ISL. ‘We Respect Law of the Land…’ AIFF Issues Statement After ISL 2025–26 Season Put on Hold Due to Renewal of Commercial Rights Deal.
It’s no surprise that the Blues have emerged winners in the BFDA Super Division thrice (2018-19, 2019-20 and 2023-24) while also having won the RFDL on two occasions (2022, 2023). Among the earliest success stories was Roshan Singh, who is part of the national team setup. Originally a winger, Roshan was converted into a full-back and thrived in that role.
His overlapping runs, ability to whip in dangerous crosses and set-piece made him one of the league’s standout young defenders in the 2021-22 season, having made his ISL debut a season before. Roshan even picked up the Emerging Player of the Season award, a testament to both his growth and the club’s developmental framework. While Roshan laid the foundation, the next batch of youngsters carried the baton forward.
Sivasakthi Narayanan, a lively forward with a keen eye for goal who also impressed in the RDFL, rose through the ranks and featured first for the senior team in 2021-22. His knack for running behind defences and finishing chances saw him finish as the team’s joint second-highest scorer in ISL 2022-23. His story stands out because he wasn’t just another prospect but he became integral to Bengaluru FC’s run to the final that season. ISL 2025–26 Season Put on Hold After IMG Reliance and AIFF Haggle Over Renewal of Commercial Rights Deal.
Namgyal Bhutia too, who captained BFC in the RFDL, has made a name for himself with his composed presence and versatility. Capable of playing in multiple positions, Bhutia made his ISL debut in 2021-22 but started playing regularly in 2022-23, the same season when BFC reached the final.
He supplied two assists in 2024-25, both which came against FC Goa, across two semi-final legs which helped Bengaluru FC qualify the final. His ability to step in seamlessly during crucial matches reflected the club’s readiness to trust young shoulders with big responsibilities.
The latest name to emerge from the conveyor belt is Lalremtluanga Fanai. The 20-year-old made his senior team debut in 2024-25, showing composure and control beyond his age. A product of Bengaluru FC’s youth system, Fanai has been earmarked as one to watch and he backed that promise by clocking nearly 1000 minutes in the 2024-25 season.
His promotion is yet another sign that the club doesn’t just talk about development but has acted on it. Joining him in making the leap was Vinith Venkatesh, who also made his ISL debut in the same season. Venkatesh impressed on his debut, scoring the only goal of the match which guided the Blues to a win over East Bengal FC. Indian Football Mess: Jaydeep Basu’s Book ‘Who Stole My Football’ Chronicles AIFF’s Decline As ISL Postponed Indefinitely.
The young midfielder also contributed two assists over the season, delivering energetic performances and impressing with his maturity in the final third. Both of them were instrumental in helping BFC reach the final. For Bengaluru FC, youth development has been a core part of the club’s identity. The belief is simple: if you trust young players and provide the right environment, they will rise.
The club’s coaching staff, including head coaches over the years, have bought into this philosophy. Whether it was Carles Cuadrat handing starts to Roshan or Simon Grayson trusting Sivasakthi in crunch games, the backing has been consistent.
With more young prospects waiting in the wings and a system that keeps evolving, Bengaluru FC’s academy model could serve as a blueprint for others to follow in Indian football. For now, it remains one of the club’s biggest strengths and a reason why their fans can dream not just of silverware but of watching their own grow into stars.

TALLINN, Estonia — A snappy tune by a blogger that mockingly laments his poor internet connection in the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don has gotten over a half-million views on Instagram in two weeks.
“How to say you’re from Rostov without saying a word? Show one bar of cellphone service,” Pavel Osipyan raps while walking around the city, smartphone in hand. “We have internet until 12 o’clock, and recently there’s been no connection at all. No need to be angry, just get used to it already.”
The complaints by Osipyan — unable to pay electronically for groceries, or having to use paper maps while driving — aren’t isolated to Rostov-on-Don, which borders Ukraine and, as home to Russia’s Southern Military District, is targeted frequently by drones.
In the last two months, cellphone internet shutdowns, which officials say are needed to foil Ukrainian drones, have hit dozens of Russian regions — from those near the fighting to parts of Siberia and even the Far East. Some Wi-Fi outages also have been reported.
Russians contacted by The Associated Press talked about card payments not going through, taxi and ride-sharing apps not working properly, ATMs that sometimes fail.
Experts point to the unprecedented nature of the measures and warn of far-reaching consequences in a country where the Kremlin already has significantly curtailed online freedom.
Such shutdowns in the name of security legitimize them to the public and open the door for authorities abusing the restrictions, said Anastasiya Zhyrmont, policy manager for Eastern Europe and Central Asia at the Access Now digital rights group.
Experts say the trend began in May, when Russia celebrated the 80th anniversary of the defeat of the Nazi Germany in World War II and foreign dignitaries flocked to Moscow for a big military parade.
The capital suffered severe disruptions of cellphone connectivity to the internet for days, and Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed those were deliberate restrictions due to regular Ukrainian drone attacks. Asked how long they’d last, he replied, “This will be done as needed.”
Russia has restricted smartphone connectivity before, with isolated instances during protests, as well as in regions bordering Ukraine.
Shutdowns in the capital, however, sent a signal to authorities across the vast country that it’s a useful tool, said lawyer Sarkis Darbinyan, founder of Russian internet freedom group Roskomsvoboda.
Ukraine’s “Operation Spiderweb” in early June, in which drones launched from containers on trucks attacked airfields deep inside Russia, made officials all the more eager to take action, Darbinyan said.
“They got really scared that drones now may appear, like a jack-in-the-box, in any Russian regions,” he told .
By mid-July, deliberate shutdowns spread to most of the country, according to Na Svyazi — Russian for “staying connected” — an activist group tracking internet availability.
On Tuesday, the group reported cellphone internet shutdowns in 73 of over 80 regions. In 41 of them, there were reports of broadband network outages as well, while restrictions on broadband internet occurred in six regions, while cellphone connections were fine.
Some regional officials confirmed that cellphone internet was restricted for security reasons. Nizhny Novgorod Gov. Gleb Nikitin said this month the measure will stay in place in the region east of Moscow for “as long as the threat remains.”
Asked Thursday whether such mass shutdowns were justified, Peskov said “everything that has to do with ensuring the safety of citizens, everything is justified and everything is a priority.”
Russians from affected regions say the outages can last for hours or days; patterns also are hard to discern, with service working in one part of a city but vanishing elsewhere.
In Voronezh, near Ukraine and frequently targeted by drones, one resident said she felt like she was in “a cave” in early July with no cellphone internet or Wi-Fi in her home. The woman, who spoke to on condition of anonymity because of security concerns, said she was only able to get online at work the next day.
Cellphone internet in the southwestern city of Samara “goes out at the most unpredictable moments,” said Natalia, who also spoke on condition that her last name be withheld for safety reasons. Her home Wi-Fi recently also has slowed to a near halt around 11 p.m., staying that way for a few hours, she said.
Connectivity has improved recently in the Siberian city of Omsk, said Viktor Shkurenko, who owns retail stores and other businesses there. But cellphone internet service was out in his office for an entire week. A few of his smaller stores that rely on cellphone networks suffered disruptions, but nothing critical, he said.
“I don’t feel any super strong discomfort,” said Grigori Khromov of Nizhny Novgorod, Russia’s fifth-largest city where regular and widespread shutdowns were reported. “I have an office job and I work either at home or in the office and have either wire internet or Wi-Fi.”
In rural areas, small towns and villages, where cellphone internet often is the only way to get online, the situation was harder to gauge.
Pharmacies in such areas have struggled, Russian media reported and the Independent Pharmacies Association confirmed to . Viktoria Presnyakova, head of the association, said in a statement that prescriptions must be logged in special software, but that becomes impossible without an internet connection for weeks.
A social media user in the Belgorod region bordering Ukraine complained on Gov. Vyacheslav Gladkov’s social media page that without cellphone internet and a working alarm system, village residents have to bang on a rail to warn neighbors of an attack. The authorities promised to look into improving connectivity in the area.
Authorities elsewhere also announced steps to minimize disruptions by opening Wi-Fi spots. They also are reportedly planning to establish an agency to coordinate the shutdowns, according to Izvestia, a Kremlin-backed newspaper that cited unidentified government sources. Peskov said he was unaware of the plan.
Russian and Ukrainian drones use cellphone internet networks to operate, so shutdowns are one way authorities try to counter the attacks, said Kateryna Stepanenko, a Russia analyst at the Washington-based Institute for the Study of War.
But it’s also part of the Kremlin’s long-term effort to rein in the internet. Authorities have actively censored online content in the last decade, blocking thousands of websites of independent media, opposition groups and human rights organizations.
After Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the government blocked major social media like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, as well as encrypted messenger platform Signal and a few other messaging apps.
Access to YouTube — wildly popular in Russia — was disrupted last year in what experts called deliberate throttling by the authorities. The Kremlin blamed YouTube owner Google for not properly maintaining its hardware in Russia.
State internet watchdogs routinely block virtual private network services that help circumvent the restrictions, and there are plans to introduce a national messenger app, expected to replace foreign ones.
Along with the shutdowns, these are part of a larger campaign “to establish control over the internet, which is something the Kremlin had failed to do 20 years prior on the same level that China did,” said the ISW’s Stepanenko.
Access Now’s Zhyrmont says it’s “very disturbing” that Russians have gotten used to living with growing internet restrictions, including shutdowns.
“This shouldn’t be modern reality,” she said.

MUMBAI: Actor Vaani Kapoor says she does not understand the current wave of “cancel and boycott culture”, which she believes is contributing to a toxic environment and restricting artistic freedom.
The actor, who will soon make her digital debut in Netflix’s Mandala Murders, expressed her views on censorship and online hate during an interview, highlighting the impact such behaviour has on artists and society at large.
“I don’t get the cancel and boycott culture,” said Kapoor. “Censorship, in any form, limits an artist’s freedom to take creative risks and explore new ideas.”
Her remarks come in the wake of the controversy surrounding her recent film Abir Gulaal, a romantic drama co-starring Pakistani actor Fawad Khan. The film, scheduled for release in May, was shelved following the Pahalgam terror attack. In the aftermath, political figures and trade bodies renewed calls to boycott Pakistani artists, ultimately preventing the film’s release in India.
When asked about how the situation affected her, Vaani responded: “I’m not so into censorship. I believe in certification. Sometimes, there’s no limit — when I hear about censorship, I think, ‘They can cut this or that.’ As an artist or filmmaker, you’re constantly trying to create something new. But with boundaries set around you, how much can you truly explore new territory?”
Kapoor, known for films like War, Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, and Raid 2, criticised the rise of “cancel and boycott” movements, which she feels have made public discourse increasingly toxic.

꽁머니 받으려면 인증 필요한가요? 이 질문은 온라인 베팅 사이트나 게임 플랫폼에 처음 가입하는 사용자들이 자주 묻는 궁금증 중 하나입니다. 꽁머니는 신규 유저 유치를 위한 대표적인 마케팅 수단으로, 사이트 가입 시 혹은 특정 이벤트 참여를 통해 제공되는 무료 혜택입니다. 하지만 이러한 혜택을 받기 위해서는 대체로 일정한 조건이 따라붙으며, 그중 가장 일반적인 것이 바로 사용자 인증입니다.
대부분의 플랫폼에서는 꽁머니를 무작위로 지급하지 않습니다. 이는 중복 가입이나 부정 이용을 방지하기 위함이며, 그 일환으로 본인 인증이나 전화번호 인증, 이메일 인증 등의 절차를 요구합니다. 예를 들어, 회원 가입만으로는 꽁머니가 자동 지급되지 않고, 휴대폰 번호 인증을 완료해야만 혜택이 활성화되는 구조가 일반적입니다. 이러한 인증 절차는 사용자에게는 다소 번거로울 수 있으나, 사이트 입장에서는 안정적이고 신뢰할 수 있는 운영을 위한 필수 단계입니다.
꽁머니 지급 시 요구되는 인증 방식은 사이트마다 다양합니다. 일부 사이트는 간단한 이메일 인증만으로 꽁머니 지급하는 반면, 다른 곳에서는 실명 인증이나 주민등록번호 인증까지 요구하기도 합니다. 특히 보안에 민감한 사이트일수록 인증 절차가 복잡해지는 경향이 있으며, 이 경우 사용자는 본인 명의의 계정을 통해서만 꽁머니를 받을 수 있습니다. 이러한 조치는 악용 사례를 방지하고, 공정한 사용자 간의 혜택 분배를 위한 것입니다.
꽁머니 받으려면 인증 필요한가요?
인증을 요구하는 또 다른 이유는 꽁머니의 출금 조건과도 관련이 있습니다. 대부분의 사이트는 꽁머니로 얻은 수익을 현금으로 출금하기 위해 일정한 인증을 요구합니다. 예를 들어, 꽁머니로 베팅해 얻은 이익을 출금하려면 반드시 본인 인증을 거쳐야 하며, 인증이 완료되지 않으면 출금 자체가 제한됩니다. 이는 불법 자금세탁이나 중복 계정 생성 등을 방지하기 위한 장치이기도 합니다.
반면, 아주 간단한 이벤트성 꽁머니의 경우에는 별도의 인증 없이도 지급되는 경우가 있지만, 이런 경우 지급 금액이 매우 적거나 사용 기한이 짧은 경우가 많습니다. 따라서 보다 유의미한 꽁머니를 받으려면 일정 수준의 인증 절차를 거치는 것이 일반적이라고 할 수 있습니다. 이러한 인증 과정은 사용자와 사이트 간의 신뢰를 구축하는 데도 중요한 역할을 합니다.
결론적으로, 꽁머니를 받기 위해서는 대부분의 경우 일정한 인증 절차가 필요합니다. 이는 사용자 본인의 계정 보호뿐 아니라, 사이트의 운영 안정성을 위한 필수 조건입니다. 사용자는 이러한 인증 절차를 단순한 제약으로 여기기보다는, 더 나은 혜택과 공정한 서비스 이용을 위한 과정으로 받아들이는 것이 현명합니다. 인증을 성실히 마친 후에는 꽁머니를 보다 자유롭고 안전하게 사용할 수 있으며, 그 혜택을 온전히 누릴 수 있는 기반이 마련됩니다.
Archaeologists recently uncovered a mysterious Roman-era settlement site in Germany, complete with building remains and hundreds of artifacts dating back nearly two millennia.
The Schafbreite site, located within the western German town of Delbrück, has been settled since the first century A.D. The site was recently excavated by the Regional Association of Westphalia-Lippe (LWL).
In a June 13 statement, the LWL announced the results of its excavation, revealing a trove of discoveries that mostly date back to the fourth and fifth centuries A.D.
LATE BRONZE AGE SETTLEMENT DATING BACK 3,000 YEARS UNCOVERED AMID ROAD WORK: ‘IMPORTANT DISCOVERY’
Officials identified hundreds of ancient features at the site, including numerous holes in the ground that were likely from ancient wooden posts.
After months of careful digging, archaeologists also found two “clearly identifiable” buildings, along with two pit houses, two wells and a cremation grave — along with several hundred artifacts.

“Seven hundred and fifty individual finds were recovered from the ancient cultural layer preserved under a thick ash soil, 600 of which were metal,” said the LWL’s statement, translated from German to English.
Archaeologists also explained that the site “must have been settled at different times, making it a multi-period settlement site.”
“The finds from various periods also show the inhabitants had access to Roman material culture.”
“The finds from various periods also show that the inhabitants had access to Roman material culture,” the press release said.
The statement added, “The new excavations have expanded the picture of this site, as a burial has now been confirmed: The isolated cremation grave contained remains from the pyre, such as charcoal, cremated remains and parts of burned grave goods.”
MYSTERIOUS ‘DUMPED’ BODIES OF WOMAN AND CHILD FOUND BY ARCHAEOLOGISTS IN PICTURESQUE TOWN
In the burial section, archaeologists found that one decedent was buried with a spearhead, two garment clasps and a broken bone comb, in addition to “a fire steel, and an animal head buckle with fittings.”
Excavators used white cards, seen here, to mark where they found metal objects in an ancient pit.(EggensteinExca/S. Knippschild via LWL)
“Experts date this buckle to the 4th or 5th century based on its shape. It further confirms the settlers’ contact with the Roman cultural sphere, as it belonged to the Roman military belt,” officials said in a statement.
Historians were unable to identify the mysterious burial. The LWL speculated that the deceased person may have been a Germanic mercenary in the Roman military.
ARCHAEOLOGISTS MAKE GRIM DISCOVERY AFTER FINDING ANCIENT ROMAN BUILDINGS
“[It’s] a special find, as it is the first burial in East Westphalia where parts of a Roman military belt have been detected, previously only known from surface finds in other regions,” officials said.
Other discoveries at the site included a cattle trough, a construction pit with ceramics and a three-foot-wide well that was made from tree trunks.
Two of the site’s numerous discoveries included an ancient glass bead, at right, and a beam with symbols carved into it, seen at left.(LWL Archaeology for Westphalia/A. Madziala)
“The organic preservation was so good that we recovered not only wood but also a leather fragment and even an insect wing,” excavation manager Sven Knippschild noted.
He added, “Completely extraordinary and unique for the Migration Period in Westphalia was the discovery of a beam piece with various tool marks on the last day of excavation.”

“[It] was certainly once part of a house and was later recycled for the well construction.”
Sven Spiong, a lead archaeologist at LWL, said the site offers a glimpse into what life was like during the Migration Period.

The era, also known as the Barbarian Invasions, was a time of significant upheaval and change in Europe, lasting from roughly 300 to 600 A.D.
“Sites like these help us better understand how the people of the region lived and worked during the arrival of the Romans and in the following centuries.”
“Sites like these help us better understand how the people of the region lived and worked during the arrival of the Romans and in the following centuries, what interregional contacts and connections they had, and how the settlement structure changed during the Migration Period,” Spiong said.
Historians also uncovered a well shaft made from tree trunks. The structure measures over three feet in diameter.(EggensteinExca/S. Knippschild via LWL)
Even though the excavation has wrapped up, the recent discoveries are just the beginning of researchers’ study of the archaeological site.
Experts plan to analyze the wood and charcoal found at the site to help date the site more precisely.

Archaeologists will also look at some soil from the well to learn more about what the area around Bentfeld was like over 1,600 years ago.
“This [study] may reveal changes in vegetation, landscape, and settlement between the time around the birth of Christ and around 400 A.D.,” LWL archaeologist Julia Hallenkamp-Lumpe noted.

An underreported phenomenon in modern culture is the slow degradation of our collective optimism about the future. Look no further than the delta between the 1962 Hanna-Barbera cartoon The Jetsons—which predicted a space-age utopia replete with flying cars, automated kitchens, and robot maids—and Ridley Scott’s 1982 dystopian sci-fi hallmark Blade Runner, which portrays Los Angeles as a dreary urban hellscape overrun with crime, pollution, and android slaves gone rogue. Throw in Gattaca, The Matrix, and Her and you’re presented with a fairly certain conclusion that the technology is making things worse, not better.
Alas, technocrats keep grinding away at products that aim to increase your quality of life by a few percentage points by cutting out friction and inconvenience. ZIRP-era luminaries “solved” problems like last-mile transit, the need for pesky humans to operate taxis, and the lack of true market influence on housing costs. And with liquid full-meal replacement products, they even solved the problem of cooking and chewing food!
While many of these time-saving products look like protein shakes at first glance, the key difference is the addition of vitamins, plant fiber, and other “proprietary nutrient blends” that will keep your body functioning while also making you un-hungry in the morning. Enjoying a bowl of cereal or a slice of avocado toast is a time-consuming and expensive endeavor that is now obsolete, so you can get back to coding without the fear of malnutrition hanging over your head. You’re welcome.

KRHKOST, odnosno tzv. sindrom fragilnosti, pogađa između 7 i 12 posto osoba starijih od 65 godina, a značajno utječe na kvalitetu života – i to svakodnevno.
Stručnjaci s prestižnog sveučilišta Johns Hopkins objašnjavaju da se krhkost dijagnosticira kada su prisutna barem tri od ovih simptoma:
nenamjerni gubitak kilograma
smanjenje mišićne snage
stalni osjećaj iscrpljenosti
vrlo niska razina tjelesne aktivnosti
usporen hod.
No dobra vijest je da nije sve izgubljeno. Nova studija objavljena u časopisu PLOS One donosi jednostavno, a vrlo učinkovito rješenje: samo 14 koraka u minuti više može poboljšati funkcionalnost i fizičku sposobnost kod starijih osoba koje su krhke ili na putu da to postanu.
Hodanjem protiv slabosti
“Otkrili smo da osobe koje su uspjele hodati samo malo brže – u prosjeku 14 koraka više u minuti – pokazuju značajno poboljšanje u pokretljivosti, snazi i izdržljivosti”, kaže dr. Daniel Rubin, voditelj studije i profesor s američkog Sveučilišta u Chicagu.
Drugim riječima, ne treba vam skupa oprema, teretana niti osobni trener. Dovoljno je usred dana ustati i prošetati – ali s malo jačim tempom nego inače.
Zašto je to važno?
Krhke i predkrhke osobe često zapinju već na osnovnim dnevnim zadacima: odlazak u trgovinu, penjanja uz stepenice, ustajanje iz kreveta. To nije samo fizičko ograničenje, već i psihološki teret. Usporavanje vodi izolaciji, depresiji i bržem kognitivnom padu.
Studije su pokazale da redovita šetnja smanjuje rizik od invaliditeta za čak 28 posto, jača kosti i mišiće, štiti od dijabetesa i snižava krvni tlak.
Osim toga, hodanje poboljšava i mentalno zdravlje – može usporiti starenje mozga i smanjiti rizik od demencije.

Kako znati hodate li dovoljno brzo?
“Jedno od najčešćih pitanja koje dobijem je: koliko brzo treba hodati?” kaže Rubin. Dodaje da praćenje pulsa ili razgovora tijekom hoda nije najpreciznije, posebno kod starijih osoba.
Zato predlaže jednostavno rješenje: koristite metronom na mobitelu.
Hodajte 30 minuta svojim prirodnim tempom i izmjerite broj koraka u minuti. Zatim pokušajte taj broj povećati za 5 do 10, objašnjava. Glazba može pomoći, ali samo ako imate dobro razvijen sluh za ritam. Alternativa? Ritmičko disanje – udisanje na nos, izdisanje na usta, što dodatno snižava tlak i smiruje tijelo.
Pravilno držanje i zamah rukama – često zaboravljen detalj
Mnogi stariji hodaju pognuto, što stvara dodatni pritisak na kralježnicu i otežava disanje. Važno je hodati uspravno, s pogledom prema naprijed i slobodnim zamahom ruku.
“Hodanje nije samo pokret nogu, već cijelog tijela. Zamah ruku treba biti usklađen s koracima, i to tako da se ruka i noga na suprotnim stranama kreću istovremeno”, savjetuje Dana Santas, stručnjakinja za pokret i funkcionalnu mobilnost.
Ako imate osjećaj da ste u zadnje vrijeme sve umorniji, sporiji i nesigurniji dok hodate, nemojte čekati da postane još gore. Ne morate trčati maraton ni dizati utege. Dovoljna je brža šetnja – i to doslovno 14 koraka više u minuti.

The Senate has passed — and sent back to the House — a bill that would allow the Trump administration to claw back some $9 billion in previously approved funding for foreign aid and public broadcasting. But first, senators removed from the bill a request to cut funding for the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, President George W. Bush’s international AIDS/HIV program. The House has until Friday to approve the bill, or else the funding remains in place.
Meanwhile, a federal appeals court has ruled that West Virginia can ban the abortion pill mifepristone despite its approval by the Food and Drug Administration. If the ruling is upheld by the Supreme Court, it could allow states to limit access to other FDA-approved drugs.
This week’s panelists are Julie Rovner of KFF Health News, Joanne Kenen of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Politico Magazine, Shefali Luthra of The 19th, and Sandhya Raman of CQ Roll Call.
Among the takeaways from this week’s episode:
The Senate approved the Trump administration’s cuts to foreign aid and public broadcasting, a remarkable yielding of congressional spending power to the president. Before the vote, Senate GOP leaders removed President Donald Trump’s request to cut PEPFAR, sparing the funding for that global health effort, which has support from both parties.
Next Congress will need to pass annual appropriations bills to keep the government funded, but that is expected to be a bigger challenge than the recent spending fights. Appropriations bills need 60 votes to pass in the Senate, meaning Republican leaders will have to make bipartisan compromises. House leaders are already delaying health spending bills until the fall, saying they need more time to work out deals — and those bills tend to attract culture-war issues that make it difficult to negotiate across the aisle.
The Trump administration is planning to destroy — rather than distribute — food, medical supplies, contraceptives, and other items intended for foreign aid. The plan follows the removal of workers and dismantling of aid infrastructure around the world, but the waste of needed goods the U.S. government has already purchased is expected to further erode global trust.
And soon after the passage of Trump’s tax and spending law, at least one Republican is proposing to reverse the cuts the party approved to health programs — specifically Medicaid. It’s hardly the first time lawmakers have tried to change course on their own policies, though time will tell whether it’s enough to mitigate any political (or actual) damage from the law.

Mumbai, July 16: A team from the Italian fashion house Prada arrived in Kolhapur to learn about the history and craftsmanship behind the iconic Kolhapuri chappals. The Prada team visited Kolhapur and met the artisans and shopkeepers to know more about the iconic Kolhapuri chappals. One of the shopkeepers told ANI, “Yesterday, the Prada team that came to Kolhapur to see how these chapppals are made, today they came to see that shop in the biggest market of Kolhapur. Where Kolhapuri chappals are sold in the market where Kolhapuri chappals are sold. When they came to see in the market, they liked our leather bag, which is used by conductors or petrol pumps or to keep the cash. They had come to see authentic leather bags and liked our Kolhapur, especially the Kapashi Kolhapuri chappal.”
“A team has come from Italy to check all the manufacturing units of Kohapuri chappals and to see the technical parts as Prada enters the retail market in Kolhapur, ” said another vendor. Another shopkeeper said, “The team that came from Italy personally recorded the manufacturing process of Kolhapuri chappals in the local market. We offer authentic stitching and original quality Kolhapuri chappals.” ‘Sorry Not Prada, but My OG Kolhapuri’: Kareena Kapoor Takes a Dig at Luxury Fashion Brand for Copying Kolhapuri Chappal Designs.
Following a massive backlash for plagiarising Indian artisans’ work, Prada accepted that its latest summer wear collection was “inspired by Indian artisans”. However, the petitioners claim that the fashion brand (Prada) has not issued any “formal apology” along with any “damages”, “compensation” and “entitled remedy” to the Maharashtrian artisans. Lorenzo Bertelli, son of Prada’s owners, responded to the backlas in a letter to a trade group recognising their Indian heritage, reported news agency Reuters.
“We acknowledge that the sandals… are inspired by traditional Indian handcrafted footwear, with a centuries-old heritage,” Bertelli, Prada’s head of corporate social responsibility, wrote in the letter to the Maharashtra Chamber of Commerce. In the first week of July, a public interest litigation (PIL) was filed in the Bombay High Court demanding that the Italian fashion house Prada pay compensation to the Kolhapuri chappal artisans for allegedly copying their design in their latest unveiled summer collection.Kolhapuri Chappal is already protected as a Geographical Indication (GI) under the Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 1999.

SVI ZNAJU da su zlatni retriveri nevjerojatno odani i prijateljski nastrojeni psi koji obožavaju provoditi vrijeme sa svojim ljudima. Jedan od njih, simpatični Benny, podigao je tu privrženost na potpuno novu razinu, a video koji to dokazuje postao je pravi internetski hit.
Naime, Benny jednostavno ne razumije, ili možda ne želi razumjeti, koncept osobnog prostora. Njegovi vlasnici podijelili su na Instagram profilu @benny_and_remy urnebesnu kompilaciju trenutaka u kojima se njihov ljubimac na sve načine gura uz njih i svog brata Remyja. Video je u kratkom roku postao viralan, prikupivši više od 355.000 pregleda i gotovo 20.000 lajkova.
Njegov prostor je vaš prostor
Video započinje krupnim planom Bennyja koji ozbiljno gleda u kameru, dok se na ekranu pojavljuje duhovit natpis: “Osobni prostori koje je Benny narušio ovaj tjedan.”
Nakon toga slijedi niz preslatkih scena. Prva žrtva je njegov vlasnik, na kojeg je Benny legao dok je odmarao na kauču. Zatim je na red došao i njegov brat Remy, čiji je prostor također bio ugrožen. Na kraju, Benny se uspješno ugurao i u zagrljaj svoje vlasnice, dokazujući tezu iz opisa objave: “Njegov prostor je vaš prostor.”

“On je zlatni retriver. U njegovom umu ne postoji nešto poput osobnog prostora”, savršeno je sažeo drugi korisnik.
“Ispostavilo se da je svaka situacija zapravo zahtijevala maženje”, zaključio je treći.

Samsung’s long-anticipated tri-fold smartphone is now expected to make its global debut by the end of 2025, with fresh reports suggesting it may carry the name Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold, marking its entry under the existing Galaxy Z series rather than launching a new lineup altogether.
According to renowned journalist Max Jambor (@MaxJmb), the triple-screen foldable is likely to adopt the Galaxy Z TriFold branding. This aligns the device with Samsung’s established foldable range, alongside the Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip models, and indicates the company’s intent to consolidate its multi-form factor devices under a single umbrella.
Meanwhile, tipster Ice Universe, writing on Chinese social media platform Weibo, claimed that Samsung’s tri-fold phone is scheduled for an October 2025 launch. This timeline would put it in direct competition with Huawei, whose Mate XT Ultimate Design successor is expected to be unveiled a month earlier, in September.
Tri-Fold Smartphone: Specifications and Features
The upcoming device, codenamed Q7M, is reportedly advancing towards mass production and could be unveiled as a limited release, according to sources familiar with the matter. It is said to carry the model number SM-F968.
One of the key highlights of the tri-fold handset is its 9.96-inch display when fully unfolded, offering a near-tablet experience. In its folded form, the device is expected to present a 6.54-inch screen, making it usable as a conventional smartphone. Internally, the device may be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and is tipped to include a silicon-carbon battery, a newer technology that potentially offers faster charging and longer life compared to traditional lithium-ion cells.
On the imaging front, the Galaxy Z TriFold could sport a triple rear camera setup and is expected to support 8K video recording at 30fps. The design is rumoured to feature inward-folding hinges, following a G-style folding mechanism similar to the recently showcased Tecno Phantom Ultimate G Fold Concept.
Junior, the upcoming bilingual family drama mounted as a launch pad for Kireeti Reddy, also marks Genelia Deshmukh’s return to South Indian cinema after 13 years. An entire generation has grown up watching her films like Bommarillu, Orange, Ready, and Sye among many more. Genelia looks back at those years with a mix of awe and gratitude. Recalling how she occasionally watches some of her songs and clips, Genelia says, “Sometimes I watch a scene of mine with Prakash Raj or another great actor, and wonder, ‘Did I really do that?’ (laughs) It’s hard to believe I did that work, at times. I see my songs very often, and enjoy it — It was a very special phase of my life.”
At the same time, the Bommarillu actor expresses great pride in her Telugu filmography. She explains, “As an actor, I have been very particular. Even when I was at my peak, I didn’t go on to sign countless films. I did only those films I would be proud of, that a whole family could watch without feeling weird. Not many actors took that route at that point in time. I took that trouble, and I hope the risk was worth it.”
Genelia also makes an interesting observation about her fanbase while looking back to her work around 2004-2012, before she took a sabbatical from acting. “The male audience likes me too. But when your female audience likes you, you have a responsibility. That’s something I’ve taken personally. So often I have mothers and grandmothers coming to me, calling me ‘Bangaaram’ (precious girl), telling me how the enjoyed my film. That means the world to me. I did not do any ultra-glamorous roles. I have a very loyal audience, and I am respecful of it.”
Fine Organics Americas, a 100 per cent subsidiary of Fine Organic Industries, has acquired about 160 acres in South Carolina (the US) to set up a full-scale manufacturing facility. This expansion would strengthen its US presence, enhance service for existing clients and unlock new growth opportunities.
While volume growth is expected to remain muted until FY27, the company is well-positioned for a strong scale-up once the SEZ and US capacities come onstream. Although the management hasn’t disclosed the capex for the US facility, we expect it to be sizeable, given the land parcel is over 5x the total area of existing plants.
Development will likely be phased, but the scale adequately supports long-term growth potential. We retain our Buy rating and raise our target price to ₹6,400 (earlier ₹5,200) as we roll forward to September 2027, applying a higher multiple of 37x (vs. 33x FY27) on the back of improvement in growth visibility and resolution of recent growth concerns. Strong strategic initiatives, including SEZ and US expansions, offer meaningful earnings re-rating potential.
Risks: Execution Risk in US Expansion; timely execution of JNPA SEZ plant; volatility in input prices.
The primary draw at Tun Lahmajo, a restaurant in Burbank lined with grainy woods to resemble a summer cabin, is right there in the name. A mottled, golden-edged lahmajo lands on nearly every table — or maybe three or four of them, for every person in a group.
In Levantine Arabic, the dish is known as lahm bi ajeen: literally, “meat with dough.” Armenians shortened the phrase and adapted the flatbread as their own. Cooks at Tun Lahmajo stretch their floury palette nearly as thin as a water cracker, though the flavor has far more char and tang. Cooks smear on a silky-rough mixture of seasoned beef and tomato paste right to the brim, which often handsomely buckles in the heat of baking.
They might arrive oval, or rounder, or somewhere oblong and in between. Their unpredictable beauty is a reminder that an actual human someone is in the kitchen shaping them. Always, a server rushes them straight from the oven, when they’re at once crisp and bendy, on plates where the crusty circumference hangs just over the rim. A squarish wedge of lemon has been dropped on the lahmajo’s center. Spritzing juice over the surface cuts the concentrated meatiness. Plenty of customers request extra citrus.
I could stop here, and it would suffice as a recommendation. The signature at Tun Lahmajo, consistent and excellent, has already been embraced by the Armenian community of Los Angeles, the largest diaspora population outside of Armenia. They’re keeping the place busy.
In the months since the restaurant opened last summer, though, the menu has kept expanding, to the point that it can be approached two ways: as a roster of comfort foods, and as a doorway into one cuisine’s long and intricate history.
Lahmajo goes into the oven.Fresh baked lahmajo and Megrelakan khachapuri.(Ron De Angelis / For The Times)
To stick with the bready theme a little longer: A single variation of lahmajo is available, shellacked with cheese. But hedonistically cheesy khachapuris — specialties of the Republic of Georgia, bordering Armenia to the north — yank my attention away.
Adjarian khachapuri, the version tapered on the ends to resemble a canoe, will be remembered by food obsessives for its moment at the end of last decade. Cheese fills its hull; after baking, the cook cracks over an egg or two with pats of butter to exaggerate the richness. Combine it all with a spoon and voila: molten dip in a bread bowl.
To make the puffed Megrelakan (sometimes called Megrelian) khachapuri, eggs and butter are folded into stretchy, grated sulguni cheese before cooking. This one is the jewel. Servers carry it wobbling through the dining room, deflating like a souffle, and then they carve it into sixths at the table using a pizza wheel. Hot and irresistible, the texture is billowy, offset by the crisp, blistered fringes. As the speckled pie cools and its ingredients settle and condense, an appealing salty-sharpness becomes more overt.

Savory breads have been the focus from the beginning, when Eduard Janibekyan and his family opened the first Tun Lahmajo in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, in 2008. (The restaurant space had originally been their ground-floor apartment. “Tun” is Armenian for “home.”) As the business found its rhythms, the Janibekyans had the bandwidth to add broader categories of homestyle dishes: cold salads, roasted meats, a range of soups and herbed stews. They mirrored the process, sped up, at their Burbank location.
L.A.’s best Armenian restaurants tend to excel at one forte: the exquisite marinated and charcoal-grilled meats at Mini Kabob; the mulchy pleasures of the greens-filled flatbread at namesake Zhengyalov Hatz; the cured beef, stingingly spiced, packed into sandwiches at Sahag’s Basturma. That, or they serve Lebanese-Armenian menus that trace back to the longstanding diaspora community in Beirut. Currently, the finest among our Lebanese-Armenian institutions is the Hollywood outpost of Carousel.

Very few local places delve into the regionally specific Armenian repertoire — what Janibekyan’s son Vladislav defined in an interview as “Caucasian cuisine,” referring to the geographic area located between the Black and Caspian seas broadly defined as the Caucasus.
Sorting the roots of Armenian food must take into account the aftermath of the genocidal killing of more than 1 million Armenians starting in 1915, and the nearly 70 years under the Soviet regime that closely followed and ended in 1991. The landlocked country, bordering Turkey and Iran to the west, has been a fought-over juncture for millenniums.
“Cultural and gastronomic exchange has been part and parcel of this region for ages … Armenians do not have a national cuisine in the same sense as nationalities that possessed a long history of statehood and well-defined frontiers,” wrote Irina Petrosian and David Underwood in their 2006 book, “Armenian Food: Fact, Fiction & Folklore.” For the example of lahmajo, the authors pointed to repatriated Armenians in the 1960s returning from the Syrian city of Aleppo as the ones who introduced the dish to Yerevan.
How does all this complex history inform a meal in Burbank?

Order a starter of strained yogurt, its density somewhere between mascarpone and cream cheese, to dollop over ripped hunks of lahmajo and bring silkiness to meats like lamb ribs roasted in the oven. I love the way qrchick, a ruddy soup jolted with pickled cabbage, slashes the richness of the khachapuris.
A dish of mildly spiced, sautéed beef and potatoes, both cut into strips, has been made by Armenian cooks for so long that no one can quite pinpoint the origin of its nickname. It’s called “ker u sus,” which colloquially translates as “shut up and eat.” If the combination doesn’t directly stoke your nostalgia, your inquisitive palate may be more stirred by ostri, garlicky spiced beef infused with dried red chiles and fenugreek. Avelouk, a tangle of wild sorrel served cool and garnished with crushed walnuts, brings a welcome infusion of green to the mix.
Khashlama is a category of brothy stews. An elemental variation made with lamb teeters on bland, but the generously sized fish khashlama is a summery joy, brought out in a pot with hunks of trout (watch for bones), peeled potatoes and whole peppers, and heaped with dill, parsley and other feathery herbs.

If you can pace your lunch or dinner with leisure, ask for the traditional and endearingly universal chmur: Russets roasted in the oven for 40 minutes and then smooshed tableside, along with plenty of butter, by a server wielding a wooden masher.
I could race you down other rabbit holes, including the Levantine shades of kebabs, shawarma, ishli (known elsewhere as kibbeh) and a bulghur-heavy riff on tabbouleh, or borscht and oil-glossed, Uzbekistani-style pilaf to swerve into Soviet-era holdovers. The menu is daunting, and against the many other highlights these choices each rate as fine enough.
Probably there will be little room for dessert, but I must point out the gata, a round pastry-cake hybrid served warm that hides an almost custardy layer just under the top crust. One could debate empires and authenticity over a spread at Tun Lahmajo, or take its soulful cooking at face value, but in the end a standout meal concludes as it should begin: with a bronzed thing of beauty pulled hot from the oven.
A Texas high school has won more championships in mock tiny home construction than any other school in the country. Could a team of rookies defend the title?
Substance use is also detrimental to our mental health. Substance use is essentially introducing certain substances to the body, whether ingesting, injecting, inhaling, or otherwise consuming. These substances can include anything from alcohol (hard liquor, beer, or wine), drugs (illegal, over-the-counter, or prescription), to tobacco or inhalants.
Notice the habit listed here isn’t just substance abuse, but substance use. That’s because any substance we introduce to the body can have an impact on us. For example, even moderate or light use of alcohol can worsen or create mental health issues. Alcohol is a depressant, and even if initially it makes a person feel less anxious or more relaxed, over time, it ends up being harmful, not helpful. Even just a little can impair your judgment and decision-making, increase impulsivity, and cause mood changes.
Drugs (even prescription or over-the-counter drugs) can worsen underlying conditions and alter the brain’s chemistry, impacting dopamine and serotonin.
Tobacco can increase anxiety, tension, and depression, while inhalants (whether vaping or abusing household chemicals) can change the way your brain communicates with other parts of your body, leading to mental health problems.
In 1 Peter 5:8, we’re urged, “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”
Substance use, even if it’s not abuse, can impact our ability to be sober-minded, ultimately giving the devil a foothold and leading to mental health problems.

Today, we explore a powerful reframe: what if rock bottom isn’t a place of shame or destruction, but a moment of surrender? A moment when you realize that Jesus is the Rock at the bottom, and that He’s been there all along. This conversation dismantles the common story that things need to get “bad enough” before you’re allowed to change your relationship with alcohol.
We share vulnerable moments from our own journeys and unpack how letting go of the “I have to hit bottom” mindset can actually open the door to freedom, clarity, and a deeper connection with God. Whether your life “looks fine” on the outside or you’re wrestling with the quiet ache of disconnection, this episode invites you to choose better—not because you have to, but because you get to.
A jaw-dropping medieval property is on the real estate market in England, offering a pastoral life to interested buyers – but there’s a catch.
The property, called St. John’s Jerusalem, was originally used by a group of warrior monks called the Knights Hospitallers. It’s located in the historic village of Sutton-at-Hone in Kent.
The house dates back to the 12th century, according to real estate agency Strutt & Parker. It functioned as a preceptory, or a local headquarters/monastery for the knights, who fought in the Crusades.
SINKHOLE IN HISTORIC CITY REVEALS MEDIEVAL HOSPITAL HIDING JUST BENEATH STREET LEVEL
“Dating from 1199 and set in moated gardens with a lodge cottage and former deer park, this historic house is privately set in a wonderful and very private and protected setting,” the listing reads.
The main house was remodeled in the Georgian era, still retaining some medieval charm. It boasts eight bedrooms, a high-ceilinged drawing room and a modernized kitchen.

The listing calls the main building a “wonderfully atmospheric home of exceptional quality,” featuring a 13th-century chapel at its east end.

“The house is approached by a long carriage driveway, which meanders through the former deer park, beginning beside the two-bedroom lodge cottage … and ending at a generous turning circle with a central lawn in front of the house,” the listing says.
“This is a rare chance to acquire the opportunity to live in and care for this house.”
The whole package is being sold in the range of £3,250,000 – equal to over $4.4 million U.S. dollars.
The catch? The property is not being sold outright — and plans call for it to be handed back to the National Trust in less than a century.
The lease ends on Sept. 29, 2122.
The chapel at the east end remains one of the estate’s most striking features, along with its well-kept gardens.(Strutt & Parker)
Edward Church, the real estate agent for the property, told Fox News Digital that listings like St. John’s Jerusalem are rare.
“These are among the most special houses as they are in the custodianship of this body that protects houses of national importance,” Church said.
“This is a rare chance to acquire the opportunity to live in and care for this house.”

The agent also noted it’s possible to extend the lease in the future.
Church added, “The lease is a necessary item and is something that really only exists in very rare circumstances.”
Though the lease might dull the appeal of the listing for some, whoever purchases the property will be walking in the steps of kings.
The 24-acre property was also regularly frequented by legendary medieval leaders, including King John and Henry III, with the earliest-recorded visit in 1214.

“Subsequently, the lease of the buildings and lands was given to a series of important royal favorites with London connections such as John de Pulteney, who built Penshurst Place and Thomas Cromwell,” the listing notes.

“The Order’s lands in England, Sutton-at-Hone included, were confiscated and sold off by Henry VIII in 1540.”
The property also boasts a garden “like no other,” complemented by an idyllic moat of a chalk stream and English yews, per Strutt & Parker.
The current owners “have respected the history of the site (and the extensive archaeology beneath), including a garden of medicinal plants that complements the history of the Knights Hospitallers of St. John of Jerusalem, who established the original preceptory on the site,” the listing adds.

Polling rate is likely one of the most prominently displayed details on any Hall effect keyboard, purely because the large numbers emphasize one of the most important aspects of these keyboards: Speed. Whether a keyboard has a 1,000- or 10,000-Hz polling rate, this number represents how many messages are sent from the keyboard to the PC every second. For example, a keyboard with 1,000-Hz polling will send 1000 messages every second. Most office equipment operates at 125 Hz. In high-performance gaming, a higher polling rate is almost always preferred, since more information being transferred reduces the chances of a movement or keypress not being recognized immediately. That said, 1,000 Hz is more than enough—you won’t really notice many benefits of going higher.
Software has also proven to be make-or-break with Hall effect keyboards. Nearly every HE keyboard relies on software to make adjustments and customizations, so this is a critical aspect of a good keyboard. In evaluating this, I consider ease-of-use, functionality, and the scope of customization. Software that makes customization difficult, has any stability issues, or uses a lot of processing power will just cause issues down the road.
Build quality is important for both obvious and less-obvious reasons. It’s important for a keyboard to feel good to type on and to have a rigid construction, but it also matters how good quality control is with switches and how well-tuned the stabilizers are. Because Hall effect keyboards rely on magnets and sensors to register keypresses, a misalignment of a magnet or sensor can cause keypresses to register at incorrect distances without any obvious tells, which can cause issues with your performance when gaming.
Actuation distance is typically measured in millimeters and indicates the distance a key has been pressed. Hall effect keyboards usually measure to a tenth of a millimeter, although sometimes they extend out to a hundredth of a millimeter. Most keyboards will measure this from the top resting position, at zero millimeters. The bottom-out distance, where the key is fully pressed, will typically sit between 3 and 4 millimeters. The distance between the top and bottom of the keypress is the travel distance, and the maximum travel distance possible is determined by the switches you’re using and the keyboard itself. If you have a switch with a 4-mm travel distance and a keyboard that only measures up to 3.5 mm, you will only be able to set the actuation distance to 3.5 mm at the lowest.
VLAKNA su ključna za zdravlje probave, regulaciju kolesterola i šećera u krvi te održavanje zdrave tjelesne težine. Unatoč tome, velika većina ljudi jednostavno ih ne unosi dovoljno, a posljedice se mogu vidjeti na cjelokupnom zdravlju.
“Naš nedovoljan unos vlakana uvelike se može pripisati niskoj konzumaciji voća, povrća, mahunarki i cjelovitih žitarica”, objašnjava nutricionistica Charlotte Cervantes. Problem s nedovoljnim unosom vlakana postoji i zbog današnje prehrane, smatra gastroenterologinja Kerri Bewick.
Za Parade Bewick objašnjava kako su socioekonomski čimbenici i prehrana bogata ultraprerađenom hranom također značajni krivci. “Moderna prehrana sadrži velike količine rafiniranih žitarica i prerađenih proizvoda, koji su siromašni vlaknima”, dodaje ona.
Koliko vlakana nam je doista potrebno?
Prehrambene preporuke nalažu unos od oko 14 grama vlakana na svakih 1000 unesenih kalorija. “Za osobu koja dnevno konzumira 2000 kalorija, to znači da bi cilj trebao biti 28 grama vlakana”, pojašnjava Cervantes.
Postoje dvije vrste vlakana: topiva, koja se otapaju u vodi, i netopiva. Obje vrste su nužne za zdravu probavu, no smjernice ne preciziraju točan omjer. Potrebe za vlaknima mogu biti i veće kod muškaraca, mlađih odraslih osoba te onih s određenim zdravstvenim stanjima poput sindroma iritabilnog crijeva ili kroničnog zatvora, napominje Bewick.
Tri znaka da vam nedostaju vlakna
Nedovoljan unos namirnica bogatih vlaknima može se odraziti na vaše zdravlje na više načina. Ovo su tri najočitija znaka, smatraju stručnjakinje.
Patite od zatvora
“Zatvor je jedan od najčešćih simptoma niskog unosa vlakana”, ističe Bewick. Vlakna povećavaju volumen stolice i ubrzavaju njezin prolazak kroz debelo crijevo, čime olakšavaju pražnjenje.
Bez dovoljno vlakana, stolica postaje tvrda, a pražnjenje crijeva otežano i neugodno. Kronični zatvor, upozoravaju stručnjaci, može dovesti i do ozbiljnijih problema poput hemoroida, analnih fisura i divertikulitisa.
Stalno osjećate glad
Hrana bogata vlaknima pojačava osjećaj sitosti. “To vam pomaže da se duže osjećate sito, što potencijalno vodi do manjeg unosa kalorija i pomaže u regulaciji tjelesne težine”, objašnjava Bewick, prenosi Parade. Ako preskačete vlakna, vjerojatno ćete češće osjećati glad, što vas može potaknuti na prejedanje i nezdrave izbore kada vas uhvati želja za grickanjem.

Imate povišen kolesterol i šećer u krvi
Topiva vlakna pomažu u snižavanju kolesterola tako što se vežu za tvari koje sadrže kolesterol u probavnom sustavu. Ako vaša prehrana oskudijeva vlaknima, razina kolesterola može porasti.
Uz to, prehrana bogata vlaknima usporava apsorpciju glukoze, čime sprječava nagle skokove šećera u krvi. “Manjak vlakana može dovesti do viših razina šećera u krvi, što povećava rizik od razvoja dijabetesa tipa 2”, dodaje Cervantes.
Dugoročne posljedice prehrane siromašne vlaknima
Manjak vlakana ne uzrokuje samo trenutačne neugodnosti, već može imati i ozbiljne dugoročne posljedice na zdravlje. “Postoje čvrsti dokazi koji pokazuju da osobe s adekvatnim unosom vlakana imaju manji rizik od razvoja određenih kardiovaskularnih bolesti i raka debelog crijeva”, ističe Cervantes.
Kako jednostavno povećati unos vlakana?
Ako dosad niste jeli puno vlakana, važno je unos povećavati postupno kako biste izbjegli probavne smetnje poput nadutosti, plinova i grčeva. Povećanje unosa zapravo je vrlo jednostavno i svodi se na uključivanje više voća, povrća, cjelovitih žitarica, orašastih plodova i mahunarki u prehranu.
Cervantes predlaže nekoliko praktičnih savjeta:
Zamijenite bijeli kruh integralnim, bijelu rižu smeđom, a prerađene žitarice za doručak onima od cjelovitog zrna.
Svakom obroku dodajte voće i povrće. Primjerice, započnite ručak salatom ili za desert pojedite svježe voće.
Redovito jedite grahorice – dodajte ih u salate i juhe ili ih ispecite za hrskavu i zdravu grickalicu.
“Avokado, maline, kupine, kruške i jabuke odličan su izvor vlakana iz voća, dok su artičoke, prokulice, brokula, cvjetača i batat povrće s iznimno visokim udjelom”, savjetuje Bewick. Ako se i dalje mučite s unosom, dodaci prehrani mogu pomoći, no prije uzimanja obavezno se posavjetujte s liječnikom.
Važno je zapamtiti da ove namirnice nude puno više od samih vlakana. Pune su vitamina, minerala i antioksidansa. “Gotovo svaka namirnica pruža više hranjivih tvari istovremeno, stoga ih trebamo konzumirati kako bismo iskoristili sve dobrobiti koje nude”, zaključuje dr. Cervantes.

ZA NEKE je to najljepši dio dana – osjećaj kada se pas sklupča kraj njih u krevetu i zajedno utonu u san. Za druge, to je nešto nezamislivo: previše dlaka, premalo prostora, narušena higijena i san. Pa što je zapravo istina? Smije li pas spavati u krevetu s vlasnikom i je li to dobra ideja?
Odgovor nije univerzalan. Kao i kod većine odnosa s kućnim ljubimcima, ključ leži u ravnoteži, dosljednosti i dobroj procjeni.
Spavanje sa psom u krevetu: Da ili ne?
Spavanje s ljubimcem može imati i prednosti i nedostatke i važno je da ih vlasnici razumiju prije nego što ova navika postane svakodnevica.
Prednosti
Povezanost sa psom Zajedničko spavanje često produbljuje emocionalnu vezu između psa i vlasnika. Fizička blizina pojačava osjećaj privrženosti, a mnogi psi uz vlasnika spavaju mirnije.
Sigurnost Psi su po prirodi zaštitnički nastrojeni, a mnogi vlasnici osjećaju veću sigurnost kada je pas kraj njih, pogotovo noću.
Toplina i udobnost Psi su pravi “grijači”, osobito zimi. Njihova prisutnost može pružiti fizičku i emocionalnu toplinu, što nekima pomaže pri uspavljivanju.
Smanjenje stresa Istraživanja su pokazala da interakcija sa psima smanjuje razinu kortizola, hormona stresa. Spavanje s njima može djelovati umirujuće, osobito kod ljudi koji pate od tjeskobe.
Emocionalno zdravlje Prisutnost psa tijekom noći može smanjiti osjećaj usamljenosti, pružiti osjećaj rutine i emocionalne sigurnosti.
Nedostaci
Alergije i astma Pseća dlaka, perut i nečistoće koje pas može unijeti u krevet mogu pogoršati simptome kod osoba s alergijama ili respiratornim problemima.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Prekinut san Psi se, baš kao i ljudi, okreću, trzaju, dišu glasno ili sanjaju. Vlasnici često kažu da ih njihovi psi bude tijekom noći, što dugoročno može utjecati na kvalitetu sna.
Higijenski rizici Bez obzira na to koliko je pas njegovan, on u krznu i šapama može donijeti bakterije, pelud, grinje ili čak parazite u posteljinu.
Granice u ponašanju Ako pas nauči da uvijek može spavati s vama, može razviti posesivnost prema krevetu ili vlasniku. Zato je važno postaviti jasna pravila i dosljedno ih se držati.
Na što treba paziti?
Ako odlučite dijeliti krevet sa svojim psom, evo nekoliko stvari koje je važno uzeti u obzir:
Pas mora biti zdrav i redovito tretiran protiv parazita.
Održavajte čistoću – i psa i posteljine.
Pratite njegovo ponašanje – ako se nemirno ponaša ili postaje posesivan, razmislite o promjeni rutine.
Ako imate alergije, spavanje sa psom u krevetu vjerojatno nije dobar izbor.
Postavite granice – na primjer, pas može spavati na dekici u dnu kreveta, ali ne ispod pokrivača ili na jastuku.
Spavanje sa psom nije ni ispravno ni pogrešno – sve ovisi o vašem načinu života, zdravstvenim okolnostima i odnosu koji imate sa svojim ljubimcem. Ako vam pas ne remeti san, ne izaziva zdravstvene tegobe i znate postaviti granice – zajedničko spavanje može biti izvor topline, sigurnosti i bliskosti.
A ako ne želite psa u krevetu, i to je sasvim u redu. Ljubav se ne mjeri time, već pažnjom i razumijevanjem koje mu pružate tijekom dana.

ITC Hotels stock fluctuated on Thursday after soaring 3 per cent in early trade. This followed a 53.4 per cent y-o-y increase in its consolidated net profit to ₹133.71 crore for the first quarter this fiscal and a 15.5 per cent y-o-y rise in revenue.
Brokerages have maintained a positive stance on ITC Hotels post its Q1 results, with both Jefferies and Macquarie raising their target prices citing strong performance. The street is optimistic on the company’s expansion plans, aiming to scale up to over 20,000 keys by 2030.
Jefferies retained a ‘buy’ rating and revised the target price upward to ₹270 from ₹240, highlighting a healthy all-round performance and robust growth in revenue per available room (RevPAR), boosted by the Sri Lanka project and higher other income. It also raised EBITDA estimates by around 4 per cent for FY26-28.
Macquarie echoed a similarly upbeat tone, maintaining an ‘outperform’ rating and hiking the target price to ₹270 from ₹250. It credited the hotel segment’s outperformance to stronger key performance indicators (KPIs) and ITC Ratnadipa’s contribution.
Shares were flat on the BSE at ₹238.35 as at 10.37 am, hitting an intraday high of ₹246 (also its 52-week high) against the previous close of ₹238.50.
Slice the fish and assemble the crudo: Remove hamachi from refrigerator and rinse thoroughly under cold running water. Pat dry. Just before serving, cut the fish evenly into 1/4-inch slices.
Place each of the fish slices onto a work surface and zest a lime with a rasp grater over each slice of fish.
Spoon a shallow pool of chilled jalapeño broth onto (preferably chilled) plates or a rimmed platter. Arrange the hamachi slices attractively; fold once and stand the slices on their sides for height. Place the cherry halves, cut side up, around the fish slices. Drizzle lightly with extra-virgin olive oil and scatter torn Thai basil leaves on the plate. Finish with a pinch of Maldon sea salt for garnish if desired. Serve immediately.

As families flock to the coasts this summer, at least one beach may be putting a damper on children’s plans to dig in the sand.
The City of Holmes Beach in Florida passed a rule this summer that declares, “No holes on beach.”
Holmes Beach City Commissioner Carol Whitmore told FOX 13 the rule is being implemented to protect both beachgoers and wildlife.

“People aren’t listening. They’re on vacation, they’re not thinking and, unfortunately, we have to think about the people [then] coming to the beach after they leave,” said Whitmore.
“We have to think about their safety.”

Nearly 143 million people visited the Sunshine State last year, according to Visit Florida.
The large holes also present a threat to wildlife — specifically sea turtles.
“These holes can be 3 to 6 feet deep, and then they leave and don’t cover them back up. We’ve got photos of our turtles getting caught in the holes, and they can’t survive,” said Whitmore.

For the past few weeks, the AI-powered ElliQ companion robot has perched on the end of my desk. Designed by Intuition Robotics for seniors living alone, this proactive animatronic chats to me throughout the day, checking how I’m feeling, suggesting “fun” activities, and prodding me to be more active and sociable. While it can be annoying, I’ve grown attached to ElliQ despite myself, and I can see the positive potential.
Loneliness is an epidemic. According to the US Census Bureau, around 16 million elders (over 65) live alone in the country, and up to a third report feelings of loneliness. Multiple studieshave shown that social isolation harms mental and physical health, increasing blood pressure, depression, weight gain, alcohol and drug use, and decreasing physical activity, cognition, heart health, and sleep. Humans are inherently social creatures.
ElliQ is designed to alleviate these feelings and encourage healthy behavior in elderly folks living alone. The hope is that it can improve their quality of life and enable people to stay in their own homes longer instead of moving to an assisted living facility. While you may feel this cutesy AI bot is downright dystopian, you’ve got to ask yourself, what’s the alternative? We know we should all check in with our elderly relatives and friends more often, but life is busy, and some folks are alone for long stretches.
Cute and Practical

ElliQ sits on a pedestal with a metallic body and a head that swivels, tilts, and lights up when it speaks. There is a small smart display and speaker on the right with a physical button to press to wake ElliQ or silence it. The button also spins for volume control. You can wake ElliQ by saying its name, chosen because it’s unlikely to be said accidentally. When ElliQ asks something or seeks confirmation, you can respond verbally or use the touchscreen.
The setup was a breeze. ElliQ arrived in simple packaging with instructions in an easy-to-read, large font. All you have to do is plug it in and connect to Wi-Fi. The first time we spoke, ElliQ asked me a few questions. Potential answers popped up on the touchscreen. It ran through questions I might ask, and I was prompted to read a few lines so ElliQ could recognize my voice.
ElliQ speaks in a slightly stilted, completely inoffensive female voice with tiny pauses before my name (it uses my name in almost every interaction). The way it is animated is undeniably cute. In one of our first conversations, ElliQ tells me it is modeled on the Pixar lamp. The rim around its head can light up, and there are concentric circles in the center of its face; combined with the movement, it genuinely appears to have some personality and charm.
The touchscreen display and physical button provide a practical edge. If you have difficulty with the voice controls or it misunderstands, you can tap the option you want. I also use the physical sleep button to shut it down immediately when it pipes up during meetings or when I’m otherwise engaged. All in all, it’s a smart design.
Encouraging Positive Behavior

Like the voice assistants and smart displays you are used to, ElliQ can answer basic queries, give you a weather report, remind you about an appointment, or take music requests. But ElliQ is also proactive, starting conversations throughout the day and engaging you in activities. Intuition Robotics cofounder and CEO Dor Skuler says creating this sense of autonomy is crucial to building engagement and getting people to think of ElliQ as a character in their lives.
POPULARNI dodaci prehrani s kurkumom, desetljećima hvaljeni zbog svojih protuupalnih svojstava, mogli bi uzrokovati po život opasno oštećenje jetre, tvrdi ginekologinja Jen Gunter.
Kurkuma se dugo smatrala prirodnim lijekom za sve, od artritisa do bolesti srca, a neki su istraživači čak vjerovali da može pomoći u liječenju raka. Zbog toga su suplementi na bazi kurkume preplavili wellness tržište, a procjenjuje se da ih redovito uzima polovica odrasle populacije. Međutim, dr. Gunter sada upućuje oštro upozorenje: “Ne postoje čvrsti znanstveni dokazi koji bi opravdali uzimanje suplemenata kurkume za bilo koji zdravstveni ishod. Čemu onda uopće riskirati?”
Dr. Gunter naglašava ključnu razliku između začina i suplemenata. “Hrana i dodaci prehrani nisu ista stvar”, poručila je svojim pratiteljima na Instagramu. Dok je korištenje kurkume kao začina u kuhanju potpuno sigurno, problem nastaje s koncentriranim pilulama.
“Ne možete uspoređivati nešto što unosite s obrokom punim proteina i vlakana s nečim što uzimate u obliku pilule”, dodala je.
Problem je u pojačanoj apsorpciji
Kurkuma kao začin dobiva se mljevenjem osušenog korijena biljke. U tom prirodnom obliku, tijelo vrlo teško apsorbira njezin aktivni sastojak – kurkumin, koji joj daje karakterističnu žutu boju. “Kurkuma kao začin sama po sebi nema dobru apsorpciju”, objašnjava dr. Gunter.
No, proizvođači su pronašli način kako zaobići taj problem. Suplementima dodaju piperin, spoj iz crnog papra, čime se apsorpcija kurkumina može povećati za nevjerojatnih 2000 posto. “Upravo ti proizvodi koji su preplavili tržište dizajnirani su da maksimalno pojačaju apsorpciju”, ističe liječnica.
Tu leži i najveća opasnost. U tako visokim i koncentriranim dozama, kurkumin može opasno interagirati s drugim lijekovima, uključujući antibiotike i lijekove za snižavanje krvnog tlaka. U najtežim slučajevima, zabilježena je izravna veza između suplemenata kurkume i teškog oštećenja jetre.
“Stručnjaci su zaista zabrinuti jer porast slučajeva toksičnosti jetre koji primjećujemo ide ruku pod ruku s porastom popularnosti ovih proizvoda s pojačanom apsorpcijom”, kaže dr. Gunter.

Tragične posljedice i zabrinjavajući podaci
Zabrinutost potvrđuje i studija objavljena u časopisu The American Journal of Medicine. Analizirajući podatke prikupljene u SAD-u od 2004. do 2022. godine, istraživači su pronašli deset slučajeva oštećenja jetre izravno povezanih s kurkumom. Pet osoba je završilo u bolnici, a jedna je preminula od akutnog zatajenja jetre.
Posebno je tragičan slučaj 62-godišnje žene koja je 14 mjeseci svakodnevno uzimala ekstrakt korijena kurkume za ublažavanje simptoma artritisa. Nije imala prethodnu povijest bolesti jetre. Uz kurkumu, uzimala je i tramadol, lijek protiv bolova, te multivitamine. Nakon više od godinu dana razvila je umor, mučninu i na kraju žuticu, što je bio jasan znak da njezina jetra više ne funkcionira ispravno.
Iako je odmah prestala uzimati suplement, stanje joj se nije poboljšalo. Stavili su je na listu za transplantaciju jetre, no preminula je unutar pet tjedana od pojave prvih simptoma. Liječnici su zaključili da je zatajenje jetre najvjerojatnije posljedica interakcije suplementa kurkume s ostalim lijekovima koje je uzimala, piše Daily Mail.
Visoke doze kurkumina imaju i učinak razrjeđivanja krvi
Stručnjaci upozoravaju da uzimanje više suplemenata istovremeno nosi rizik od nepoznatih interakcija koje mogu pojačati ili smanjiti učinak lijekova na recept. Osim rizika za jetru, visoke doze kurkumina imaju i učinak razrjeđivanja krvi. To može biti izuzetno opasno za osobe koje već uzimaju antikoagulanse, jer se izlažu povećanom riziku od nekontroliranog krvarenja.
Dr. Gunter također napominje da suplementi kurkume mogu ometati apsorpciju željeza, minerala ključnog za proizvodnju crvenih krvnih stanica. Nedostatak željeza dovodi do anemije, što je posebno opasno za žene s obilnim mjesečnicama.

New Delhi, July 16: While the UAE’s flashy Golden Visa and Saudi Arabia’s Premium Residency dominate headlines, Bahrain Golden Visa is fast becoming the Gulf’s most practical and accessible long-term residency option. The Bahrain Golden Visa is available for a one-time visa fee of just BHD 300 — that’s less than INR 69,000. Introduced in 2022 under Bahrain’s Vision 2030 initiative, the Bahrain Golden Visa caters to skilled professionals, retirees, property owners, and talented individuals, offering a 10-year renewable residency without the burden of employer sponsorship. This flexibility makes it especially attractive to mid-tier investors, digital nomads, and those looking for a more family-oriented life in the Gulf.
Unlike the traditional Gulf visa system, the Bahrain Golden Visa allows holders to work freely, freelance, or run their own businesses. It also comes with the advantage of no re-entry restrictions, making it ideal for remote workers and retirees who split time between countries. The cost of living in Bahrain is lower than in Dubai or Riyadh, and family sponsorship is seamless — even parents can be added without needing to meet additional employment or property criteria. These features position the Bahrain Golden Visa as the region’s most flexible and cost-effective path to residency.

POZNAJETE li nekoga tko svog psa tretira kao punopravnog člana obitelji, gotovo kao vlastito dijete? Možda ste to i vi sami. Ako im šaljete pozivnice za rođendan, kupujete odjeću i razgovarate s njima kao s bebama, niste jedini. Prije nego što takvo ponašanje otpišete kao puku opsesiju, znanstvenici poručuju: za tu snažnu vezu postoji dobar razlog, a seže desecima tisuća godina u prošlost.
Istraživanja, naime, pokazuju da naš mozak na pse reagira gotovo identično kao i na ljudsku djecu. Kroz dugi proces pripitomljavanja, psi su razvili društvene vještine nevjerojatno slične našima. S vremenom su poprimili ponašanje, pa čak i izgled koji podsjeća na bebe, a naš je mozak na to odgovorio – počeo ih je doživljavati upravo tako.
Zbog toga Zacharyja Silvera, direktora Laboratorija za pseću kogniciju na Occidental Collegeu, nimalo ne čudi što ljudi osjećaju tako snažnu povezanost sa svojim četveronožnim prijateljima. Štoviše, bilo bi mu čudno da je drugačije.
“Današnji psi su tisućama godina pažljivo selektirani da budu prijateljski nastrojeni, privrženi i savršeno usklađeni s nama”, objašnjava on. Drugim riječima, evolucija je pse oblikovala tako da “hakiraju” naš sustav za povezivanje koji nas inače tjera da štitimo svoje potomstvo.
Ljubav zapisana u mozgu
Alison LaCoss, majka troje djece, kaže da je u trenutku kad je rodila osjetila neodoljivu potrebu da svoju djecu voli i štiti. Sličan osjećaj preplavio ju je i kad je udomila Shioa, pirinejskog planinskog psa, i Babku, štene pudle.
“Preplavile su me emocije. Odjednom su tu bila ta slatka, preslatka stvorenja koja sam odmah poželjela voljeti i čuvati”, prisjeća se. “Osjećala sam se kao da su to moje bebe.”
Njezino iskustvo nije iznimka, a studija provedena 2014. godine na Sveučilištu Harvard otkrila je i zašto. Istraživači su okupili majke koje su imale i djecu i pse te im pomoću magnetske rezonancije snimali mozak dok su gledale fotografije. Na slikama su bila njihova djeca, njihovi psi, ali i nepoznata djeca i psi.

Rezultati su pokazali značajno preklapanje u moždanoj aktivnosti. Amigdala, područje mozga ključno za stvaranje veza i osjećaj nagrade, snažno se aktivirala kad su žene gledale slike i svog djeteta i svog psa. Slična aktivnost zabilježena je i u dijelovima mozga zaduženima za pamćenje, socijalnu interakciju te prepoznavanje lica.
“Područja mozga povezana s privrženošću, ljubavlju i povezivanjem bila su potaknuta na vrlo sličan način”, objašnjava Niwako Ogata, profesorica bihevioralne ekologije na Veterinarskom fakultetu Sveučilišta Purdue. Ipak, postojala je i ključna razlika: dijelovi mozga zaduženi za osjećaj nagrade bili su nešto aktivniji pri pogledu na ljudsku djecu. To znači da, iako je veza sa psom iznimno jaka, mozak i dalje prepoznaje da se radi o drugoj vrsti.
Kemija koja nas povezuje
Jednako važnu ulogu igraju i neurotransmiteri, kemikalije koje naš mozak oslobađa kada provodimo vrijeme s onima koje volimo. Kada gledamo u oči ili se mazimo s partnerom ili djetetom, naše tijelo luči oksitocin, poznat i kao “hormon ljubavi”, ključan za stvaranje privrženosti.
Identičan se proces događa i sa psima. Brojne studije potvrdile su da se razina oksitocina povećava i kod ljudi i kod pasa dok se gledaju, igraju ili maze. To nas potiče da ponavljamo takvo ponašanje, što dodatno jača našu vezu u neprekidnom krugu pozitivnih osjećaja.
Kada vas pas pogleda svojim umiljatim očima ili vam se obraduje na poziv, vaše tijelo oslobađa oksitocin. On aktivira biološki odgovor koji nas tjera da štitimo svoje mlade i brinemo se o njihovim potrebama. “Odnos koji imamo s našim psima gotovo je dosegao važnost biološkog srodstva”, ističe Silver.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Alison LaCoss to potvrđuje svojim primjerom. Briga za Shioa i Babku ne razlikuje se puno od brige za dijete. Svaki mjesec ih šiša i kupuje im igračke. Spavaju gdje god požele, uključujući i krevete. Putuju s obitelji na odmore, a ako iznimno ne mogu ići, borave u hotelu za pse s televizorom u sobi. Čak je i kuću kupila prvenstveno zbog ograđenog dvorišta. “Potpuno sam preplavljena emocionalnom privrženošću tim životinjama”, kaže ona.
Stvoreni da ih volimo
Obožavanje koje osjećamo prema psima može se pratiti sve do njihovih početaka, kaže Federico Rossano, direktor Laboratorija za komparativnu kogniciju na Sveučilištu Kalifornije u San Diegu. Ljudi su od samog početka birali pse koji su bili opušteni i suradljivi, nagrađujući one koji su pažljivo pratili naše poglede i izraze lica.
Također smo nesvjesno preferirali osobine koje su ih činile sličnijima ljudskim bebama. Za razliku od svojih vučjih predaka, današnji psi često imaju okrugle glave, velike oči i bucmaste obraze. Razvili su i mišiće oko očiju koji im omogućuju da stvaraju izraze lica nalik ljudskoj tuzi, znatiželji ili radosti, što u nama izaziva snažnu emocionalnu reakciju.
Drugim riječima, psi su neodoljivo slatki – baš poput beba, barem prema našim mozgovima. Igraju se kao mala djeca, love loptice i nose plišance po kući, a i razmišljaju poput njih, s obzirom na to da imaju kognitivne sposobnosti djeteta od dvije do tri godine. Mnogi ih ljudi doživljavaju kao ranjiva stvorenja kojima je, baš kao i bebama, potrebna naša zaštita.
Ako ste i vi “roditelj” kućnog ljubimca, vjerojatno vam ne treba snimka mozga da biste znali koliko je veza čovjeka i psa posebna. Alison kaže da, iako Shio i Babka nikada neće progovoriti ili završiti školu, ona bi učinila sve da budu siti, sigurni i sretni. Oni su članovi obitelji za koje se osjeća potpuno odgovornom. “Moj dom jednostavno ne bi bio dom bez njih”, zaključuje

Lamine Yamal landed in many controversies in the ongoing summer vacation the Barcelona star ahead of the joining the pre-season of the club ahead of La Liga 2025-26. Yamal was presented with the Barcelona No 10 jersey and the Spanish star also extended contract with Barcelona till 2031, but reports have suggested that the club is not really happy with his activities lately and ‘are worried’ observing how the last month has went for him. Yamal had a successful 2024-25 season where he has won the La Liga and Copa del Rey with Barcelona, won four El Clasico against Real Madrid and made to the UEFA Champions League semifinal with Barcelona, making him a strong contender for the Ballon d’Or. Lamine Yamal Receives No 10 Jersey of Barcelona; Star Footballer Arrives at Camp Nou As He Signs Contract Extension With La Liga Giants Till 2031 (Watch Video).
Yamal has been widely criticised for throwing a ‘mafia-themed’ birthday party, which has been attended by around 200 people, and allegedly featured ‘exploited dwarves’ for entertainment purposes and also featured women with ‘specific breast measurements’ who were claimed to have been ‘paid to attend’. DailyMail revealed new images of the individuals arriving at the private event which show a group of five men with Achondroplasia as they appeared to be getting registered for the party. Earlier, Yamal also generated headlines for holidaying with an OnlyFans model 12 years his senior, with the pair forced to deny they had entered into a relationship.
During his summer holidays, Lamine Yamal was also seen holidaying with Brazil star Neymar. Neymar had also been famed for throwing extravagant parties during his playing career in Barcelona and PSG and used to be a part of regular controversies. Neymar had developed a reputation for being a ‘partygoer’ during his years at Barcelona and PSG. The forward in particular had been regularly been pictured and photographed at lavish bars and nightclubs in Paris during his time at PSG. S peaking while visiting Neymar, Yamal admitted that the Brazilian had been his idol while growing up at Barcelona. It has concerned Barcelona as the Spanish club considers Neymar a ‘bad influence’ for Yamal. Viral Video Shows Dwarves Arriving at Lamine Yamal’s 18th Birthday Party; Star Barcelona Footballer Continues to Be Under Scanner (Watch Video).
Youth coach Gabino Carmona, who works with the Spanish football association, having suggested that Beymar’s lifestyle off the pitch may have appealed to Yamal. ‘Your role models speak to your lifestyle, Neymar’s pattern of behaviour, play, and lifestyle appeals to Lamine Yamal,’ Carmona told the Spanish newspaper El Confidencial. ‘We must remember that Neymar’s talent, like Lamine Yamal’s, seemed inexhaustible, and no one predicted his decline would come so soon because he was a magical player. However, what made Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo so long-lived were the predominant values of their lifestyles, such as balance and discipline.’ he concluded.

Popular social platform Reddit experienced a significant outage on Wednesday evening, leaving thousands of users unable to access content across the site. The disruption, which began around 9:30 PM IST (noon ET), has impacted users in the United States and parts of India, with homepage feeds, subreddits, and comment sections failing to load.
Visitors to Reddit are currently greeted with a “no content to display” message, as user profiles, posts, and comments remain inaccessible. The outage appears to affect both the website and mobile applications.
According to real-time monitoring site DownDetector, over 2,500 users in India reported issues around 9:30 PM IST. Of these, 46 per cent cited problems with the app, 39 per cent with the website, and 15 per cent faced server connection issues.
In the United States, the impact was significantly more widespread. More than 1,00,000 reports were logged at the same time, with 56 per cent of users experiencing app-related troubles, 33 per cent unable to access the website, and 11 per cent struggling with server connections.
Reddit’s official status account on X acknowledged the outage, stating:“Identified: We’ve identified the cause of the issue and are working to address it.” However, the company has not provided a specific timeline for resolution.
The platform, which hosts millions of communities and is known for its lively discussions across a range of topics, from tech to memes and current affairs.
As of now, Reddit remains partially inaccessible for many, and users are advised to monitor the platform’s status page or official social media channels for updates.
Meanwhile, social media platforms like X and Instagram were quickly flooded with memes and sarcastic posts, as netizens wasted no time in poking fun at the situation.
A user going by the handle @andrew29834 shared a GIF of people frantically running, captioned: “Everyone rushing to X to check if Reddit is down for the 30th time this week.”
Another X user remarked, “Reddit being down scares me so much because I always think my account got suspended.”
Sometimes, when you start reading a script, you stop at night and continue the next day. But when I read Bahul Ramesh’s script for Kerala Crime Files 2, I started at 10 at night and read it completely before going to sleep. With a script like that, you feel the thrill of wanting to know what happens next. That gives you confidence that the audience will feel the same. When we look at the footage, there are visuals we’ve already imagined. So I edited it with the same excitement I felt during my first reading. The way viewers might have mistaken the red herrings as someone else’s past was exactly how I felt too. Another interesting aspect this season is the presence of subplots. Each layer had its own emotional beats, and balancing them was important. A challenge with any second season, especially a police procedural, is that it has to be just as powerful, if not more, in showing the growth of the main characters. In that way, there was an advantage, because this season starts with a new police officer, Noble (played by Arjun Radhakrishnan), and we, like the audience, don’t know him yet.
Broking firm Angel One’s net profit for the June quarter fell over 60 per cent to ₹114.5 crore from ₹292.7 crore a year ago, as its revenue took a hit from SEBI’s curbs on excessive speculation in the equity derivatives market.
Total consolidated revenue fell to ₹1,141 crore (₹1,405 crore), down over 18 per cent. Sequentially, revenue rose 8 per cent from ₹1,056 crore, and net profit fell 34 per cent from ₹174.5 crore.
Since the market regulator’s six-step measures for the futures and options (F&O) market from November, the trading volumes and F&O turnover have slowed down. Consequently, brokers such as Angel One, who have a heavy reliance on the derivatives segment, have been affected.
Client funding book
However, the firm’s average client funding book increased 60 per cent on year to ₹4,206 crore for the quarter, while the number of orders rose 4.8 per cent to 343.11 million orders.
Angel One’s Average Daily Turnover (ADTO) based on premium turnover stood at ₹1 lakh crore in the June quarter, up 23 per cent sequentially and up 40 per cent year on year. The firm retained healthy market share across segments in Q1 FY26, with 19.7 per cent in option premium-based equity, 21 per cent in F&O, 18 per cent in cash, and 57 per cent in commodities.
“Angel One’s platform continues to deliver healthy performance in a dynamic business environment. This quarter, we added over 1.5 million clients and maintained a stable market share of 15.3 per cent in NSE active clients and 19.7 per cent in overall retail equity turnover, a testament to the resilience and scalability of our model,” said Ambarish Kenghe, Ggroup CEO at Angel One, in a press release.
Josh Kim and Sam Hong had successful careers in tech — but in 2022, they decided to start making burgers, bought a few portable griddles and did their first pop-up at Thank You Coffee in Chinatown. About a year and a half later, the pair earned a vendor spot at Smorgasburg, where they served 450 burgers on their first day of service inspired by their Korean American childhoods — think pork belly sandwiches with sesame mayo and kimchi jam, and a smashburger patty topped with a tempura-fried enoki mushroom, yuzu mayonnaise and pickled red onions.
Kim and Hong soft opened their bricks-and-mortar location of Softies Burger in the USC Village on July 6, where they formerly worked at Cafe Dulce. Owner James Choi put in a good word for them to the landlord who, after going to Smorgasburg to try their food, offered them a spot at the campus-adjacent shopping center.
“I say it’s like exploring cultural confusion,” Kim said of Softies’ menu. “Sam and I are both Korean American, so we grew up at home eating Korean dishes. But whenever we’re out, we wanted to eat burgers and pizza and whatnot. So it’s kind of trying to figure out what that looks like.”
The newly-opened burger joint has a few new items on the menu, including a classic New York-style chopped cheese sandwich, a chicken Caesar salad with spicy panko breadcrumbs and shrimp paste and a selection of sodas, along with drip coffee and cold brew. Desserts pull from childhood nostalgia, including a diner-inspired lime pie with yuzu and a miso-caramel banoffee pie.
Leading up to the opening, Kim and Hong started a GoFundMe that raised over $18,000 for restaurant equipment, furniture and other inventory. Neither of the pair are chefs, though Kim sees his time working in tech for OpenTable and DoorDash as “data gathering” for what he didn’t realize at the time would become his own restaurant.
The three burgers on the menu hail from Kim and Hong’s Smorgasburg days: the Cali, their take on a classic In-N-Out burger, doctored up with roasted garlic and caramelized onions (a nod to Korean barbecue toppings); the Japanese Peruvian-inspired Aji burger, a smashburger patty topped with pickled jalapenos and a cilantro, garlic and lime mayonnaise; and a rotating third option, which is currently the Crispy Shroom burger.
“We are very specific about the fact that we’re not chefs,” Kim said. “The kind of restaurant we want to build, it’s not too stuffy … We just want this space, especially for the USC students, to feel like their restaurant.”
Kim and Hong designed the 2,600-square-foot space to look like an old-school diner with modern Korean and Japanese influences, pairing retro barstools with spherical chandeliers, sleek white tables and wooden booths and chairs.
Softies Burger is currently open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
“The Bear” deli from Chicago at Uncle Paulie’s Deli
The hit FX series “The Bear” has given the iconic Chicago beef sandwich renewed time under the national spotlight. On the heels of the show’s fourth season, the dish, which features tender slices of roast beef dripping with au jus on a crusty roll, is back at the forefront of diners’ minds — and Angelenos are about to get a taste.
The Beverly Grove location of Uncle Paulie’s Deli will host Mr. Beef — the Chicago deli that inspired the Berzatto family’s restaurant on the award-winning drama-comedy — for a pop-up on July 19 and 20.
“Last year was such a success we had to run it back,” Uncle Paulie’s wrote in an Instagram post of its former collaboration with Mr. Beef.
Mr. Beef’s signature Italian beef sandwich, topped with giardiniera and dipped in au jus, will be offered at Uncle Paulie’s on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Happies Hand Made
A new destination for fried chicken has arrived in the Arts District. Chef Joshua Skenes, who formerly led the two Michelin-starred Saison in San Francisco and now-closed, one Michelin-starred Angler in the Beverly Center, opened Happies Hand Made on June 6. Skenes throws his fried chicken on the grill before serving it a la carte, in sandwiches or on top of a crispy waffle alongside tallow fries.
The concept is centered around high-quality comfort food, with limited drops and an evolving menu. Happies Hand Made also offers soft serve, with flavors such as wild strawberry, passion fruit and butterscotch, alongside cold brew, tea drinks and house-made sodas, including the Yuzu-Up and Kumquat Cream Top.
Happies Hand Made is open on Wednesday through Sunday from 12 to 8 p.m.
Brisket sliders from Smokey Chance BBQ at Citizen Public Market.

Smokey Chance BBQ and Jikoni at Citizen Public Market
After wowing customers with its 14-hour-smoked brisket at Culver City’s Citizen Public Market for the last nine months, Smokey Chance BBQ will begin a permanent residence at the food hall beginning July 17.
“Before, we literally took over a corner, which was a seating area at the market,” said chef Derrell Smith. “Now we’ll have the opportunity to actually have a full, built-out kitchen [where] we can expand our menu and be able to experiment how we wanted to before.”
Smith, pitmaster Jeff Chen and Darren Wong, who Smith described as the “brain” of Smokey Chance, will serve sliders and other new dishes next week, alongside mainstays that include a brisket Cuban sandwich, brisket cheesesteak, and cornbread made with beef tallow and topped with Calabrian chile honey butter.
“Our barbecue sauce is made with gochujang and jerk — Jeff and Darren are both Taiwanese and Chinese, and my grandma taught me to cook, and she was from North Carolina,” Smith said. “[We’re] taking all of these regional ingredients and turning them into something that’s just fun and whimsical.”
Jikoni, a summer pop-up from “AfriCali” cookbook author Kiano Moju, has been extended at Citizen Public Market for the rest of the summer. Moju puts a California twist on the Kenyan and Nigerian food she grew up eating in Oakland, offering a rotating menu with dishes like Swahili biriyani and saucy coconut butter beans with chapati, along with mishkaki, skewers popular in Tanzania and Kenya.
“When I was on the book tour, people kept asking, ‘Where can I try food like this?’ … I thought it could be fun to do a pop-up where we bring the book to life with some of the recipes,” Moju said.
After a successful pop-up at Melody wine bar this spring, Moju said that Smith told her about a temporary spot opening up at Citizen Public. Her initial two-week residency was extended to a month and just last week, the food hall announced that the Jikoni pop-up would remain through August.
“It’s really fun, but it’s also still incredibly crazy because I thought I’d just be writing recipes and telling people how to cook, and here I am running a restaurant,” Moju said.
Smokey Chance BBQ is open Friday and Saturday from 12 to 8 p.m. and Sunday from 12 to 7 p.m, and will begin Thursday service on July 17. Jikoni is open on Wednesday through Saturday from 12 to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 12 to 8 p.m.

With the recent catastrophic flooding in Texas, concerns have been raised by many about the potential use of weather modification methods, prompting the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and members of Congress to investigate and promise transparency on the controversial issue.
Marla Maples, co-founder of Global Wellness Forum (GWF) and a MAHA backer based in Palm Beach, told Fox News Digital she’s been a longtime advocate of raising awareness about and putting a stop to weather modification. (See the video at the top of this article.)
“Weather modification is the human attempt to control the skies — to alter natural weather patterns through aerosol sprays of various particulate matter such as aluminum, strontium, barium and other particulate matters,” said Maples. “Cloud seeding uses silver iodide to enhance precipitation and there’s also frequency-based technologies used.”
RAINMAKER CEO ADDRESSES CONCERNS ABOUT CLOUD SEEDING AFTER TEXAS FLOODS
Maples was among those who helped get Florida Senate Bill 56 passed. It prohibits the release of chemical compounds that affect the temperature, weather, climate or intensity of sunlight. At least 24 states have introduced similar legislation.
On July 1, 2025, Florida became the first state to criminalize geoengineering and weather modification when Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the bill into law.
“Just think, when such practices are done without public knowledge or consent, we must ask: Who decides what happens in our shared atmosphere?” said Maples.
Marla Maples, pictured above (second from left, and at right), told Fox News Digital she supports transparency and safety around decisions that affect the environment and public health.(Marla Maples)
“While these technologies exist, many are deployed without strict regulations, public oversight or informed consent.”
Maples believes there should be transparency, safety and public participation in decisions that affect the environment and public health.
Heeding Gov. DeSantis’ call after he signed SB 56, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier wrote to public-use airports on Monday informing operators of the new law.
The law in Florida now “requires all ‘public-use airports’ to report on geoengineering and weather modification activities.”
“Injecting our atmosphere with novel chemical compounds to block the sun is a dangerous path, especially in Florida, where sunshine is our most valuable resource,” wrote Uthmeier.
“Furthermore, as our hearts break for the victims of the flash floods in Texas, I can’t help but notice the possibility that weather modification could have played a role in this tragedy.”
WHITE HOUSE TO STUDY RELEASING AEROSOLS INTO THE ATMOSPHERE TO COUNTER CLIMATE CHANGE
He said the law now “requires all ‘public-use airports’ to report on geoengineering and weather modification activities.”
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, recently told reporters in relation to the Texas flooding tragedy that “to the best of my knowledge, there is zero evidence of anything related to anything like weather modification.”

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin recently announced two new online resources designed to address public questions and concerns about contrails and geoengineering.
“I tasked my team to compile everything we know about contrails and geoengineering to release to you now publicly,” wrote Zeldin in an X post. “I want you to know EVERYTHING I know about these topics, and without ANY exception.”
Contrails are condensation trails formed from planes, while geoengineering is an effort to deliberately alter the Earth’s climate, such as through cloud seeding.
“I tasked my team to compile everything we know about contrails and geoengineering to release to you now publicly.”
Many believe some contrails have chemicals and/or other substances that alter the environment for weather modification purposes – which the EPA hopes to investigate in the push for transparency.
THE GROSS REASON AIRPLANE PASSENGERS MIGHT WANT TO AVOID USING THE WATER ON FLIGHTS
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., recently shared her proposal for a bill to prohibit “the injection, release or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate or sunlight intensity.”
Rainmaker Tech Corporation CEO Augustus Doricko, in a recent appearance on “The Will Cain Show,” shared how his company adds 50 grams of silver iodide per operation, touching on public concerns.
“When I see a lot of spraying in the sky, my mind is a little more foggy,” longtime wellness advocate Maples told Fox News Digital. “My energy field is much lower. It’s harder for me to focus.”(Fox News Digital)
“I have yet to see any sufficient evidence of a malevolent conspiracy of someone releasing toxins into the atmosphere in those long streaky tracks in the upper atmosphere,” said Doricko.
“A lot of what I’ve seen seems to suggest those are condensation trails formed by airplanes,” he said.
SOME STATES IN THE US PRACTICE SOME FORM OF WEATHER MODIFICATION: DR. MICHIO KAKU
“Now, regardless of whether those are condensation trails or chemtrails — and I am entirely open to people presenting evidence of them being chemtrails of some kind, despite not believing them to be that now — if you see a long streak in the sky that has nothing to do with cloud, which relies on existing big puffy natural clouds raining a little bit more,” he added.
“These aren’t the skies that I grew up with in my small hometown in Georgia, when the clouds were big and puffy and the skies were bright blue.”
Said Maples, “These aren’t the skies that I grew up with in my small hometown in Georgia, when the clouds were big and puffy and the skies were bright blue. For years, I’ve been observing high-altitude airplanes creating streaks of white across the sky that linger all day, spread out like fine feathers and white out the beautiful sun.”
The former wife of President Donald Trump and mother of Tiffany Trump said she believes side effects such as chronic diseases, threats to agriculture and lack of exposure to Vitamin D are all linked to geoengineering.
“This is a movement every MAHA [advocate] needs to support,” said HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on X.(Marla Maples)
“When I see a lot of spraying in the sky, my mind is a little more foggy. My energy field is much lower. It’s harder for me to focus,” Maples told Fox News Digital.
Maples asked Americans to “observe how they feel after being outside seeking fresh air, and yet see a sky filled with these lingering streams.”

“Do you notice a dizzy feeling? Is your mind not as clear? Are you observing a lack of energy or unusual headaches, a sore throat, allergy symptoms?”
She suggested these are all questions people should be asking.
In a post on X, HHS Sec. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. declared his support for states’ efforts to ban geoengineering.
A Harvard University professor specializing in solar geoengineering noted on a research site that “there is no evidence for the existence of chemtrails.”(iStock)
“Twenty-four states move to ban geoengineering [of] our climate by dousing our citizens, our waterways and landscapes with toxins,” he wrote.
“This is a movement every MAHA [advocate] needs to support. HHS will do its part.”
In a study by the University of Washington in 2021, researchers identified a link between air pollution and dementias.
Some insist ‘no evidence’
Experts, including those from Harvard University, have previously confirmed that aerosol injection technologies are not in use and are theoretical — saying they would be highly visible.

A Harvard University professor specializing in solar geoengineering said, according to a research site, “There is no evidence for the existence of chemtrails.”
“If such a program existed at the scale required to explain the claimed amount of chemtrails, it would require thousands or perhaps tens of thousands of people,” the site noted.

“It would be extraordinarily hard to keep such a program secret because it would be so easy for a single individual in the program to reveal it using leaked documents, photographs or actual hardware,” it continued.

I remember the first time I played a first-person shooter. It was Star Wars: Battlefront 2, the 2005 version, on the Playstation 2 in my friend’s basement, when I was a kid. I felt like I was right there. The frigid winds of Hoth ripped across my face, and the chatter of comms was right up against my ear. I felt the heat of blaster bolts zipping through the air, and heard them crackling as they shot past my face. I brought the scope up to my eye, aimed, steadied my breath, and pulled the trigger. A stormtrooper fell to the ground, and I felt like I’d earned a small victory for the Rebellion.
As a child, games felt immersive to me. They felt real, like I was in that world. A large part of that was my suspension of disbelief—I wanted the game to be real, and I was willing to accept it as real, so I overlooked the low-resolution textures, the polygons that I could count, and the compressed 32-bit audio. The scan lines of the CRT television in my friend’s basement faded away, and the controller felt less like a tool and more like an extension of myself. It’s an experience that slowly slipped away as I got older, one I’ve been chasing ever since.
In chasing that feeling, I’ve tweaked my setup with fine-tuned keyboards, open-back headphones, ultrawide monitors, racing wheels, and even virtual reality headsets. They help, but they’re still external to my senses. The Razer Freyja, on the other hand, is a $300 haptic gaming cushion that brings gaming a step closer to a full-body experience. Sounds and actions rumble through my body and make the game world feel just a bit more like I’m sitting inside of it, instead of being an external force looking in through a window. It doesn’t suspend my disbelief like when I was a kid, but it makes it much easier for all the details of the external world to disappear.

The Freyja can strap onto nearly any gaming or office chair to create physical feedback while you game. The system can either directly connect to some games or it can vibrate based on the audio coming from your computer. It’s exactly what you might think a gaming cushion looks like, and unlike some pricier alternatives, it means you don’t have to replace your current chair. It is entirely dependent on the software it works with and how developers implement it.
To connect the Freyja, you’ll need both a nearby electrical socket and a free USB-A port on your system for Razer’s 2.4-GHz wireless dongle. The cushion doesn’t have any batteries, so your chair will lose some mobility whenever the Freyja is connected. If you need to roll around, disconnect the barrel jack connector on the side of the cushion.
It’s robust, with vibration zones that react quickly. It could get to the point where I was being shaken in my chair, without ever eliciting a slight rattling or a stray noise. The integration into Razer’s Chroma software never had any issues and worked well. However, I ran into a few hiccups, especially with intermediary software like SimHub. The game I was playing would lose connection with SimHub, and I would have to restart my system or spend some time troubleshooting to get it working again. The Freyja didn’t have connectivity issues itself, but some outlets in my house didn’t want to keep it powered. I suspect that’s a voltage issue more than anything else.
As of publication, the Freyja has full native support for 12 games and one simulation racing app, SimHub, which opens it up to countless racing games. During my testing, I focused mainly on racing games: Assetto Corsa, Forza Horizon 4, Forza Horizon 5, and DiRT Rally 2.0, all of which used SimHub’s built-in telemetry to create haptic feedback for pretty much every aspect of a car.
ZVUČI prejednostavno da bi bilo učinkovito, ali hodanje je i dalje jedna od najpodcjenjenijih aktivnosti kad je u pitanju gubitak kilograma. Ne zahtijeva nikakvu opremu, može se raditi bilo gdje i bilo kada, a ako ga kombinirate s nekoliko pametnih trikova, rezultati neće izostati.
“Hodanje je odlična tjelovježba jer ga gotovo svatko može prakticirati, bez posebnih uvjeta”, kaže Grayson Wickham, fizioterapeut i trener iz platforme Movement Vault. Osim što je lagano za zglobove, ne zahtijeva veliki napor ni oporavak, pa je idealno za početnike, starije osobe ili one koji se vraćaju vježbanju nakon dulje pauze.
Koliko trebamo hodati da bismo smršavili?
Možda ste čuli za famoznih 10.000 koraka dnevno, ali stručnjaci kažu da taj broj nije svetinja. Vaš cilj ovisi o vašoj kondiciji, zdravlju i načinu života.
“Za početak, 30 minuta hodanja dnevno dovoljno je da sagorite između 100 i 200 kalorija”, kaže Susane Pata iz NASM-a, jedne od najuglednijih trenerskih institucija. Tjedno to može biti i do 1400 kalorija – što može imati konkretan utjecaj na gubitak kilograma, osobito ako inače vodite sjedilački način života.
Naravno, najbolji učinak postiže se kad ste u kalorijskom deficitu, odnosno kad trošite više nego što unosite. Hodanje je tu idealna osnova, a za dodatni učinak možete uvesti i dodatne trikove.
1. Zagrijte se prije hodanja.
Nekoliko laganih iskoraka ili istezanja smanjit će rizik od boli i pripremiti mišiće za rad.
2. Hodajte s ruksakom ili prslukom s utezima.
Malo dodatnog opterećenja znači veću kalorijsku potrošnju. Možete koristiti i lagane utege za zapešća.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
3. Pratite korake pomoću aplikacije ili pametnog sata.
Vizualni prikaz napretka često je dodatna motivacija – pogotovo ako volite brojke.
4. Ubacite kratke dionice trčanja.
Na primjer, trčite 10 sekundi pa hodajte 2 minute i tako nekoliko krugova. Pojačat ćete učinak bez da se preopteretite.
5. Hodajte unatrag (da, stvarno).
Sigurno i pažljivo, naravno. Ova tehnika aktivira kvadricepse više nego klasično hodanje, a može pomoći i koljenima.
6. Napravite dobru playlistu.
Glazba vas može držati u ritmu i učiniti šetnju zabavnijom i bržom. Idealno: lista u trajanju vaše šetnje.
7. Ne zaboravite bocu vode.
Hidratacija je ključna – za energiju, zdravlje i učinkovitije sagorijevanje kalorija.
8. Zapišite i što jedete.
Ako volite evidenciju, zabilježite i unos i potrošnju kalorija. No nemojte se opterećivati brojkama ako vam to stvara stres.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
9. Hodajte redovito.
Dosljednost je važnija od savršenstva. I 10 minuta dnevno je bolje nego ništa. Zdravlje je dugoročna igra.
10. Nabavite tenisice samo za hodanje.
Kvalitetna obuća čini hodanje lakšim i smanjuje rizik od ozljeda. Bonus: motivirat će vas da češće izađete van.
11. Isplanirajte rutu i vrijeme.
Unesite šetnje u kalendar – ako ih ne zapišemo, lako ih zaboravimo. I planirajte rute unaprijed da izbjegnete izgovore.
12. Hodajte s nekim.
Društvo čini sve lakšim. Ako ne možete uživo, nazovite nekoga dok hodate – vrijeme će brže proći, a koraci se broje.
Koliko kilograma se stvarno može izgubiti hodanjem?
Stručnjaci kažu da se samo hodanjem može sagorjeti i do 5600 kalorija mjesečno – što je oko 0.7 kg manje na vagi. No prava čarolija je u tome što se hodanje može uklopiti u gotovo svaki dan – bez znojenja, bez teretane, bez stresa.
Ako uz to pripazite na prehranu i uvedete još poneku aktivnost, rezultati dolaze još brže.

At the recent Vegan India conference, we witnessed an inspiring gathering of young, dynamic female entrepreneurs representing brands in fashion, lifestyle, food, and beverages. Each shared a hopeful vision for the future, rooted in education and a keen awareness of consumer mindsets. Their collective message emphasizes the promise of a sustainable economy that prioritizes health and organic alternatives. The Vegan India Conference – 4th Edition Confidently Showcases Ethical Businesses, Standing Strong Amidst Economic Turmoil.
The rise of veganism, plant-based living, and alternatives to leather and textiles is reshaping the global market. These young women possess a profound emotional connection to the products they’re creating, combining mastery of mindful practices with a heartfelt mission. They are not only introducing smart and sustainable options but also enhancing the ecosystem by addressing the urgent need to reduce carbon footprints associated with fashion waste and the harmful chemicals used in food production. In a world grappling with rising chronic health issues, many are urged by medical professionals to adopt cleaner diets and lifestyles for a longer, healthier life. There is no doubt that sustainability is the path forward. The 4th Edition of the Vegan India Conference Is Set To Open Its Doors.
Empowered Women Champions of Sustainability from India
Female leaders in this movement are sharing their insights on the value of creating sustainable alternatives. They are dedicated vegan advocates and entrepreneurs, working tirelessly across the globe, driven by a vision that prioritizes the health of our planet and its inhabitants. Here are some of their heartfelt thoughts:
Muskaan Mundhra, Founder of ‘House of Serein’
“I have witnessed firsthand the deep connection between the leather industry and the cruelty and environmental harm it inflicts. With House of Serein, my aim is to demonstrate that fashion can be compassionate. Vegan leather is not just an alternative—it is the future we need.”
Natasha Agarwal, Co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer/Recipe Maker at ‘Nattier’
“Nattier is India’s first functional food brand, built on the belief that plant-based recipes, crafted from clean ingredients and free of junk, can transform lives. My own journey through health challenges has shown me the power of vegan and plant-based foods. I believe that these options will soon outshine reliance on medicines. Our core values are rooted in sustainability, transparency, and integrity, connecting health with taste.”
Shreya Ghodawat, Climate & Animal Rights Advocate
“My experience at the Future Fabrics Expo 2025 in London confirmed that the future lies firmly in plant-based and vegan alternatives. I am excited about materials that feel as soft as plant-based fur, innovations like textiles made from beer waste, and vibrant fabrics that photosynthesize. With over 10,000 cutting-edge materials showcased, I found several innovations that truly inspire hope. From fully plant-based furs to garments that help reduce CO₂ levels, these creations exemplify a fashion industry that celebrates cruelty-free practices and is committed to our planet’s well-being.”
This new wave of fashion embodies a commitment to cruelty-free practices and environmental mindfulness, prioritizing circular and regenerative designs that honor our connection to nature. It is a call for a shift away from speed and wastefulness, towards a more compassionate standard of luxury that finds its roots in the bounty of plants. As we look ahead, it is heartening to embrace this ethical evolution known as aura farming. If we can create a lifestyle rooted in kindness—not just to ourselves but to the planet and its creatures—why wouldn’t we choose a healthier, more compassionate path?

AKO MISLITE da su dobermani opasni, ozbiljni i strogi psi, Ava će vas uvjeriti u suprotno. Jer ova nježna ljepotica nosi vilinska krila, skače po šumi u suknjici i igra se balonom kao prava vila.
U viralnom videu objavljenom na TikToku profila @avathefawndoberman, Ava skače i pleše u šumi, odjevena u zelena vilinska krila i prozračnu suknju, dok elegantno održava balon u zraku. Da, dobro ste pročitali.
Vila Tinkerbell može komotno u mirovinu
Ava je toliko pažljiva da balon ne puca, iako ima zube koji bi ga lako mogli probušiti. Ako ste ikad pokušali igrati se balonom sa psom, znate koliko to obično traje – oko dvije sekunde. Ali Ava? Ona to radi s gracioznošću baletanke. I da, izgleda kao da zna da je snimaju.
Komentari ispod videa brzo su preplavili TikTok. “O moj Bože! Nemaš pojma koliko mi radosti donosi”, napisala je jedna korisnica, “Ona nije vila, ona je božica vila!”, “Totalni Tinkerbell vibes – ovdje sam zbog nje!”, zaključuje treća.

Baloni su fora, ali oprez nije naodmet
Ako se i vi želite poigrati s balonom sa svojim psom, imajte na umu da baloni znaju biti opasni kad puknu. Komadići plastike lako mogu završiti u psećem želucu, pa ih svakako odmah uklonite.
A za još bolju i sigurniju ljetnu zabavu, evo jednog genijalnog trika: napunite vodene balone vodom, stavite u njih male pseće poslastice i zamrznite ih. Kad se smrznu, maknite plastiku i ponudite svom psu ledeni balon s nagradom unutra. Genijalno rješenje za pasje vrućine!
Ava zna što je bitno: biti sretan i nježan
Iako izgleda kao vila iz dječje slikovnice, Ava je ipak doberman – pasmina poznata po odanosti, inteligenciji i zaštitničkom ponašanju. No ovaj video još jednom dokazuje da i “opasni” psi mogu biti nevjerojatno nježni, zabavni i puni ljubavi. Posebno kad ih pustite da budu – ono što jesu.

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.
UREĐENJE doma ne završava s kaučem, stolom ili ormarom – pravi karakter prostora dolazi tek kroz detalje. Vaze, svijećnjaci, ukrasne zdjele, ogledala, rasvjeta – samo su neki od elemenata koji stvaraju atmosferu, unose toplinu i čine prostor osobnijim.
Ovi dekorativni komadi ne moraju biti skupi da bi ostavili dojam – danas su lako dostupni i oni koji izgledom podsjećaju na dizajnerske, a cijenom ostaju u okviru budžeta. Jedna od trgovina koju mnogi rado biraju za takve dodatke je Zara Home, poznata po spoju estetike, funkcionalnosti i prihvatljive cijene.
Izgledaju poput skulptura
Nije rijetkost da njihovi proizvodi postanu viralni na društvenim mrežama, a najnoviji hit su dvije male lampe koje su osvojile TikTok. Tiktokerica Jen u videu koji je prikupio više od 200.000 pregleda u nekoliko dana pokazala je lampu iz svog doma i otkrila da svi misle kako se radi o skulpturi.
“Nisu. To su lampe – iz Zara Homea. Punjive, minimalističke i nevjerojatno stajliš za tu cijenu!”, istaknula je u opisu videa u kojem ih je pobliže pokazala.
“Aha, da, sad ih trebam na svakom stolu i polici u kući”, “Omg, volim ih”, “Nevjerojatan ulov”, “Tako su slatke”, “Alabaster je taaako podcijenjen, a zapravo je nevjerojatan”, samo su neki od komentara ispod njezinog videa.
O kakvim se točno lampama radi?
Riječ je o malim stolnim lampama od alabastera koje dolaze u dvije verzije – okrugloj i poluovalnoj. Okrugla verzija niža je i ima glatku, organski zaobljenu formu. Ima tri opcije osvjetljenja s podesivom jačinom svjetla, kojom se upravlja putem gumba na bazi. Puni se putem USB priključka, a baterija se u potpunosti napuni za 2.5 sata. Cijena joj je 48.99 eura.

Poluovalna verzija nešto je viša, s nježno zakrivljenim oblikom koji se sužava prema dnu. Također ima tri razine osvjetljenja i puni se preko USB-a. Cijena joj je 59.99 eura.
Prema podacima na službenoj stranici, trajanje baterije iznosi: 4-6 sati pri visokoj svjetlini, 12-16 sati pri niskoj svjetlini te 16.5 sati u prekidnom načinu rada.
Ove lampe idealne su za noćni ormarić, radni stol ili kutak za opuštanje, ali i kao decentan detalj na polici s knjigama, komodi u hodniku ili čak u kupaonici za nježno ambijentalno svjetlo – gdje god ih smjestite, unijet će toplinu i dozu suptilne elegancije.

Mumbai, July 15: Oman has hired Carlos Queiroz as its national-team coach ahead of autumn games that will determine if the country advances to the World Cup for the first time. The veteran Portuguese tactician led Iran into the 2014 and 2018 World Cups and will take over with immediate effect. Oman and five other countries — Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Indonesia, United Arab Emirates and Qatar — have reached the fourth round of qualifying. Jorge Jesus Opens Up on Becoming Al-Nassr Head Coach, Says ‘Without Cristiano Ronaldo’s Invitation; I Wouldn’t Be Here’.
From groups of three, the two winners will qualify for the 2026 World Cup next summer in the United States, Mexico and Canada. The fourth-round draw will be on Thursday in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The matches are in October. After those, there’s one additional round — the second-place finishers square off in November for a spot in a playoff tournament.
“This comes as part of efforts to improve the team’s performances for upcoming games,” the Oman Football Association said in a statement.
Queiroz replaces Rashid Jaber, who led Oman to a fourth-place finish in the third round to keep qualification hopes alive. Cristiano Ronaldo Greets Al-Nassr’s New Head Coach Jorge Jesus With A ‘Welcome Mr Jesus’ Instagram Story.
The 72-year-old Queiroz has also coached Real Madrid, Portugal, Egypt, Colombia and Qatar. Queiroz was fired as Qatar coach in December 2023 after 11 games in charge.

(Bloomberg) — SoftBank Group Corp. founder Masayoshi Son and OpenAI chief Sam Altman see insatiable demand for AI that makes it imperative to keep building ever more computing capacity.
Speaking via teleconference at SoftBank World, the two business partners argued that advancing artificial intelligence would lead to new jobs that are not yet imagined, and the advancement of robotics will help kickstart a “self-improvement” loop.
“As we drive the cost of AI down, more people want to use it,” Altman said in response to Son’s question about diminishing returns from further expansion. “So if we make the cost of AI 10 times cheaper, people wanna use it 30 times as much or whatever. And the demand for intelligence in the world just seems to be huge.”
The theme of their conversation, in front of an audience of Japanese business and enterprise leaders, was primarily about self-replicating innovation. Altman mentioned robots that would be able to build other robots and Son leaned heavily into the idea of AI agents learning independently and then creating new ones to enhance productivity. He wants to deploy a billion AI agents within the SoftBank group this year and design an operating system for them.
In February, Son unveiled a 50-50 venture between SoftBank’s telecom unit and OpenAI, underscoring his commitment to support the ChatGPT operator’s AI endeavors. The venture will market an enterprise AI product called Cristal intelligence to local industries from automakers to retailers. SoftBank’s group companies are adopting the US startup’s tools and will spend $3 billion per year on those services.
Son’s involvement with OpenAI extends far beyond enterprise customers. SoftBank said it will invest as much as $30 billion in the US company, a plan that’s contingent on OpenAI’s restructuring of its complex operational structure. Son also joined with Altman for the $500 billion Stargate project to build data centers and other AI infrastructure across the US.
“As we think about scaling in the future, way beyond 10 gigawatts, we’ll need new technologies and new construction,” Altman told Son. Neither executive addressed the challenges around providing energy for such large-scale projects, nor the potential downsides if their expectations for runaway demand do not fully materialize.
SoftBank shares rallied 38% in June for its best such performance in two decades as shareholders cheered Son’s bold plans and aggressive spending. The stock, however, continues to trade at a discount to the company’s total assets, weighed down by risks arising from complex financing plans.

NEW DELHI: Actor-couple Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani on Wednesday announced the birth of their first child, a baby girl.
The couple shared the joyous news in a joint post on Instagram, writing: “Our hearts are full and our world forever changed. We are blessed with a Baby Girl.”
The two actors had revealed Kiara’s pregnancy in February this year.
Malhotra, 40, and Advani, 33, tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at the Suryagarh Palace in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, in February 2023.
The domestic market staged volatility following a muted opening on Wednesday. Taking cues from the significant decline in June retail inflation, the benchmark indices ended in positive territory on Tuesday after a four-day losing streak. Market experts believe that investors would adopt a cautious wait-and-watch approach amid the volatility.
They await key corporate earnings and progress in trade talks with the US. A sustained rally in the market need earnings support, underlined Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited.
“There are no signs of a strong earnings support and earnings growth visibility. Two big segments of the market — IT services and consumption, particularly FMCG — are struggling with tepid earnings. There are green shoots of earnings recovery in FMCG but IT services continue to struggle. This means earnings growth for FY26 will be around 10 per cent only. This is the biggest challenge being faced by the market now,” Vijayakumar added.
He advised investors to focus on stocks where growth prospects and earnings visibility are bright.
“Booking partial profits on rallies and employing tight trailing stop-losses is recommended,” Aakash Shah, Technical Research Analyst – Research at Choice Equity Broking Private Limited, said. Shah added that fresh long positions can be considered only if Nifty sustains above the 25250 mark.
Overall, sentiment remains cautiously bullish, and traders should keep a close eye on key technical levels and evolving global cues.
Sensex declined 131.53 pts or 0.16 per cent to 82,439.38 as at 9.52 am after a muted opening at 82,534.66 against the previous close of 82,570.91. Nifty 50 dipped 45.20 pts or 0.18 per cent to 25,150.60.
On the technical front, Vaishali Parekh, Vice President – Technical Research, PL Capital, said, “Volatility shall continue for the month, and, on the upside, as mentioned earlier, only a decisive breach above the 25650 zone shall trigger a fresh upward trend in the coming days.”
Both midcap and smallcap indexes fluctuated. Meanwhile, sectoral indices staged a mixed performance in early trade. Media and PSU Bank traded with marginal gains, while auto, metal and consumer durables depreciated the most.
BankNifty would have the daily range of 56600-57700 levels, Parekh added.
Top gainers & losers
Shares of HDFC Life, Trent, Tech Mahindra, Wipro, HDFC Bank, Adani Ports and Adani Enterprises traded with marginal gains among the Nifty 50 pack, while Shriram Finance, JSW Steel, Tata Steel, Tata Motors and M&M traded as major laggards.
ICICI Prudential and HDB Financial shares traded in negative range following Q1 results, while ICICI Lombard and HDFC Life were in green.

On the BSE, Network 18, Coffee Day, Waaree Renewables, KRBL traded with a 5-10 per cent rally. While, Gabriel, Neuland, JP Power, Ola Electric and Elecon shares depreciated 3-8 per cent.
Commodities
Oil prices edged higher following a two-day decline, as traders evaluated signs of short-term market resilience ahead of the US inventory data. Gold slipped on Tuesday as investors were cautious ahead of potential tariff announcements, even as inflation figures confirmed a widely anticipated rise in US consumer prices last month.
On Tuesday, Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 436 points, or 0.98 per cent as investor sentiment was dampened by persistent inflation concerns in the US and mixed earnings reports from leading banks.
Asian markets also traded in red.
Sensex ended 317.45 pts or 0.39 per cent higher on Tuesday at 82,570.91, and Nifty 50 rose 113.50 pts or 0.45 per cent to 25,195.80. FIIs bought equities worth ₹120.47 crore.
A likely drop to a record low in July is prompting calls for at least one more rate cut this year

Indian government bond yields may rise in early deals on Wednesday, tracking a spike in U.S. Treasury yields as elevated inflation suggests that the Federal Reserve will remain cautious towards monetary policy easing.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year bond is expected to trade between 6.29% and 6.33%, a trader at a private bank said, after closing at 6.3090% on Tuesday. The five-year 6.75% 2029 bond ended at 5.9980%.
“There could be some upward move in the opening trades, but again we are not forecasting any large swings and overall trend will continue to be sideways for today and tomorrow,” the trader said.
U.S. yields jumped, with the 10-year yield nearly hitting the crucial 4.50% mark, while the 30-year yield rose above 5.00%.
Data showed the retail inflation increased 0.3% last month after edging up 0.1% in May, the largest monthly rise since January. In the 12 months through June, the inflation climbed 2.7% after rising 2.4% in May.
A Reuters poll had forecast retail inflation would climb 0.3% and 2.6% on monthly and annual basis, respectively.
The odds of a rate cut from the Fed are nearly zero for July and have reduced to 55%, down from 65% a week ago.
“Higher tariffs (are) still in the pipeline from here… markets could be rightly pricing out the near-term chance of Fed Funds rate cuts,” MUFG said in a note.
Back home, India’s retail inflation slowed to a more than six-year low of 2.10% in June, down from 2.82% in May.
A likely drop to a record low in July is prompting calls for at least one more rate cut this year. RATES India’s overnight index swap rates (OIS) are expected to see paying pressure tracking elevated Treasury yields.
The one-year OIS rate ended at 5.53% and the two-year OIS rate at 5.50%. The liquid five-year finished at 5.73%.

As overtourism continues to grow into a serious problem, the summer travel season has European locals fighting for beach real estate.
Local tourism has fallen in Spain by 800,000 people — while foreign tourism has seen an increase of 1.94 million visitors, according to The Associated Press (AP).
Spaniard Wendy Davila told AP she misses the days of her childhood holidays visiting Alicante on the Mediterranean.

She added, “Prices have risen outrageously. The whole Spanish coast is very expensive.”

Juan Pedro Aznar, professor and researcher at the Madrid-based Esade business school, told AP there could be a displacement effect due to Spaniards’ purchasing power in comparison to that of foreign tourists.
“I used to go to my family’s house, but there are more and more foreign tourists in Cadiz and when a cruise ship arrives, the population doubles,” said Aznar.

Google Pixel Tablet for $399: Google has a spotty history with Android tablets, going from the highs of the Nexus 7 to the, well, distinct averageness of the Pixel Tablet (7/10, WIRED Recommends). The 10.2-inch LCD screen is one of the highlights; the size and 439-gram weight are just right for carrying around, and Google’s fuss-free Android software is simple and logical. However, the Google Tensor G2 processor can get hot under strain, and there’s only 8 GB of RAM. What makes it special is the Speaker Dock, which turns the Pixel Tablet into a big smart home display. But unlike the Nest Hub Max, you can take the screen off the dock and use it separately. The Charging Dock’s speaker is loud and sounds excellent, and the Pixel Tablet’s microphones and large screen make using Gemini so easy. It’s especially great if you are in the Google Home smart home ecosystem, as you can set the lock screen to double as a control panel for all your devices. Used alone, the Pixel Tablet can’t compete with the OnePlus Pad 3 or Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE, but with the dock, it becomes a unique dual-use product with an emphasis on the smart home.
GrandPad

GrandPad for $780: If you want a tablet for an elderly relative, or you feel you’d rather have a single, easy-to-use device instead of a tablet and a phone, the GrandPad (8/10, WIRED Recommends) may be an option worth investigating. It’s an 8-inch tablet with a front and rear camera, which comes with a case, a charging dock, a stylus, plus an included 4G LTE connection. The interface has been simplified and is controlled using large buttons with clear text, plus quick access to key websites, apps, and features, including voice and video calls. The GrandPad is designed to help those who aren’t familiar with technology still enjoy all it has to offer. In addition to the basics, there are 15 different games, curated music stations, streaming radio, a magnifying glass and flashlight tool, email, and a private family-only voice and video call network. There’s also fast, 24/7 customer support should anyone run into problems, and a companion app for other family members. We love the GrandPad’s concept and the way it promises to help more people enjoy modern technology without concern or feeling overwhelmed by complex software. However, you don’t purchase it like other tablets on our list, and the GrandPad has a monthly subscription attached. Pay up front for a year, and it costs $780, while the monthly plan costs $95 per month. And while this does include the 4G LTE connection and 24/7 customer support, it still makes it an expensive system. However, what it offers is unusual, and few other tablets make using the software so simple, and the customer support may be worth the price alone for some.
Amazon Fire HD 8: Small tablets aren’t common anymore, but the Fire HD 8 gets both the size and the price right. The 8-inch screen has a 1280 x 800-pixel resolution, which may not sound like much, but it’s fine for watching videos and playing a few games. Like the Fire Max 11, it has Amazon’s version of Android without Google Play installed, but you’ll still be able to download Netflix and most other video apps, plus get access to all the content on Amazon Prime. The compact dimensions and 337-gram weight make it great for carrying around in a bag, the battery roughly lasts 13 hours on a single charge, and there are a pair of cameras for video calling too. It’s not a high-performance tablet—there’s only 32 GB of storage on the cheapest model, and even the charging is basic, with a full charge likely to take a massive five hours. However, because it’s $100, it’s easy to forgive the shortcomings. If you want a more powerful small tablet, the Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3 will be a better choice, but neither is suited for work due to the small screen. Amazon regularly puts its Kindle and Fire ranges on sale, so look out for better deals if you’re not in a hurry.
Tablet Accessories
Twelve South HoverBar Duo (Gen 2)
Photograph: Twelve South
Twelve South HoverBar Duo (Gen 2) for $80: Twelve South will tell you the HoverBar Duo is designed for the Apple iPad, but look down into its FAQ and you’ll find it’s also compatible with other devices with a minimum 5-inch and maximum 8.68-inch height. Check the specs, and this means it’ll hold the OnePlus Pad 3, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE, and many other devices, too. It’s great news, as iPad owners can’t keep this excellent stand to themselves. We like it due to the QuickSwitch tab, which lets you unclip the flexible arm from its desktop stand and attach it to a shelf mount, considerably increasing its versatility. Desktop stands are fine if you’re using the tablet on a table, but the shelf mount means your tablet can be kept off the surface, making it handy for use in the kitchen or in places where a surface may not be available at all, such as the bathroom or bedroom. Twelve South’s products are always well-made and attractively designed.
Keychron B1 Pro for $40: If you want to work on a tablet, you’re probably going to need a physical keyboard. There are specific keyboard cases available for most tablets, but they can be very expensive, and are not the only option. A standalone Bluetooth keyboard makes good sense as it can be used with other mobile devices or a desktop computer. Choose wisely, and it’s easy to carry around too. Keychron’s keyboards are all excellent, and the 425-gram, 75% layout B1 Pro is a very good choice if you want to slip it into your bag along with your tablet. Keychron claims the internal battery will last for 1,200 hours on a single charge, the keyboard’s map can be customized, and it’s compatible with both Windows and Mac computers when you’re not using it with a tablet. Unfortunately, the keyboard is not backlit, which does limit its use a little, but for $40, it’s a solid value considering its versatility, the build quality, and the pleasing typing experience.
Ikea Havrehoj Tablet Stand for $15: There are dozens, even hundreds, of different stands for tablets, but this one from Ikea represents a strong blend of value, design, and versatility. It’s made of metal with a soft, cork surface where the tablet rests, with the ability to raise, lower, and angle the platform to get exactly the right position. There’s even a little hook on the back of the stand for a pair of headphones. The tablet support has a gap in the middle, so you can still charge the slate in portrait orientation. Ikea’s tablet stand is suitably minimalist, works for any brand of tablet, and at $15, it’s an excellent value too. Pair it with the Keychron B1 Pro keyboard, and you’ve got a cool, low-cost setup for work and video.
Staedtler Noris Digital Pencil for $28: The world of styluses is confusing. There are two different standards to be aware of, and famed writing implement brand Staedtler supports devices with an EMR screen, which includes Samsung’s phones and tablets, along with a host of Chromebooks and other tablets. The Noris is made from upcycled wood for a truly tactile feel, a 0.7-mm tip modeled on a classic pencil, and 4,096 levels of pressure to make it appealing to artists. The Noris is a fun alternative to Samsung’s S Pen range. It doesn’t have a battery, so it doesn’t need recharging. You don’t have to install special software; it’s compatible with a tablet’s screen rather than particular apps, and even comes in two sizes to make it suitable for different hand sizes.
Penoval USI 2.0 Stylus for $60: The EMR standard is joined by the USI (Universal Stylus Initiative) standard, and it’s used by the Google Pixel Tablet, the Amazon Fire Max 11, and a host of Chromebooks. The Penoval USI 2.0 Stylus has a D-shaped aluminum body for extra grip and feel, a triangular nib, and magnets inside to attach it to your tablet’s body. Unlike the EMR stylus, which takes power from the device’s screen, the USI stylus has its own battery, which should last around 90 hours before it requires a recharge using a USB-C cable. Like the EMR stylus, it has 4.096 levels of pressure sensitivity, palm rejection technology, and an eraser on the end of the pencil. This may sound like a small thing, but it’s a wonderful part of the stylus experience, as turning the pen over to erase something on screen is surprisingly rewarding. It doesn’t need pairing with your tablet either, so it works immediately.
Samsung Type-C USB Flash Drive for $27: Some Android tablets have expandable storage space using a microSD card, but not all of them do. In addition to buying an external storage device to increase the native memory, you may find it necessary to transfer files between devices, and an external drive makes this simple. There are many options out there, but we like the portability, range of memory options, durability, and speed of Samsung’s Type-C USB Flash Drive. The tiny memory stick supports the USB 3.2 Gen 1 standard, transfers data at 400 MB/s, connects to most devices that have a USB-C port, and is resistant to water, shock, and magnetic fields. It doesn’t require a power source and is specifically made for mobile devices, so you shouldn’t encounter performance or compatibility problems.
U SVIJETU prepunom obećanja o savršenoj koži, jedan proizvod se već desetljećima nalazi na vrhu popisa preporuka dermatologa – krema za sunčanje. No, štiti li nas SPF samo od opeklina ili uistinu pomaže u borbi protiv bora i vidljivih znakova starenja?
Prema riječima certificirane dermatologinje dr. Dray, odgovor je odlučno – da. Ali uz nekoliko važnih napomena.
“Otprilike 80% starenja kože na licu uzrokovano je UV zračenjem,” kaže dr. Dray u nedavnom videu. “Pogledajte kožu svojih stražnjica u usporedbi s licem – ta razlika pokazuje što sunce čini vašoj koži.”
Kako sunce ubrzava starenje kože
UV zračenje, posebno UVA i UVB zrake, glavni su uzročnici preranog starenja kože. Dok UVB uzrokuje opekline i oštećenje DNA, UVA prodire dublje u kožu i razgrađuje kolagen i elastin – ključne proteine koji kožu čine čvrstom i mladolikom. Posljedica su bore, opuštenost i neujednačena tekstura kože.
Dr. Dray ističe da ponovljeno izlaganje UVA zrakama povećava oksidativni stres i oštećuje stanice koje proizvode kolagen. Još gore, UVA zrake prolaze i kroz prozorska stakla, što znači da čak i boravak u zatvorenom prostoru nije potpuna zaštita.
Da, krema za sunčanje pomaže – i to značajno
Znanstvene studije potvrđuju moć SPF-a. U jednoj studiji koju navodi dr. Dray, sudionici koji su svakodnevno nanosili kremu za sunčanje tijekom 24 mjeseca imali su značajno manje mikroskopskih oštećenja kože od sunca.
“Kod onih koji su koristili kremu, uočen je znatno manji stupanj tzv. solarne elastoze – to je stručni izraz za oštećenje kože uzrokovano UV zrakama”, objašnjava dr. Dray.
Još zanimljivije: redovito korištenje SPF-a može djelomično popraviti postojeća oštećenja. U jednoj studiji sudionici koji su godinu dana koristili SPF 30 imali su poboljšanu teksturu kože, ujednačeniji ten i smanjenu pigmentaciju.
Vidljiva svjetlost i tamniji tonovi kože
Dr. Dray naglašava i često zanemaren utjecaj vidljive svjetlosti, posebice plavog svjetla iz sunčeve svjetlosti, koje može izazvati hiperpigmentaciju, osobito kod osoba s tamnijim tonovima kože.
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
“Tonzirane kreme za sunčanje s dodanim željeznim oksidima mogu pružiti dodatnu zaštitu od tog spektra svjetlosti,” kaže. “Ako imate melazmu ili tamne mrlje, osobito s tamnijim tenom, to može biti prava prekretnica.”
SPF nije neuništivi oklop
No krema za sunčanje nije magični štit, upozorava dr. Dray.
“Ljudi često pomisle da su potpuno zaštićeni čim stave SPF, pa odu ležati na sunce. Ali to ne funkcionira tako. SPF nije oklop.”
Za učinkovitu zaštitu dr. Dray savjetuje kombinaciju kreme sa šeširima, sunčanim naočalama, zaštitnom odjećom i boravkom u hladu – osobito u razdoblju jakog sunca. Također je ključno obnavljati nanošenje svakih dva sata, osobito ako se znojite ili ste u vodi.
Krema za sunčanje jedan je od najučinkovitijih alata u borbi protiv bora i starenja kože, ali samo ako se koristi ispravno i dosljedno.
“Da, može pomoći u sprječavanju bora – i da, može čak djelomično popraviti postojeće znakove starenja kože”, kaže dr. Dray. “Ali morate je koristiti redovito i kombinirati s drugim mjerama zaštite od sunca.”
Za glađu, zdraviju i ujednačeniju kožu, nemojte preskakati SPF, ali ga nemojte ni tretirati kao jedino dopuštenje za sunčanje.

Brad Pitt in his film, not only highlighted this cultural treasure but also breathed new life into the Tangaliya Craft Shirt. It’s essential for the fashion press to reconsider their language around this craft. Phrases like “forbidden craft” or “dying handicraft” can undermine the vibrant communities that have passionately preserved these skills for generations. This craft is very much alive, thanks to those who continue to embrace and practice these traditional techniques. The term “Tangaliya” is derived from the Gujarati word tangalio, meaning “lower body,” a nod to how these exquisite shawls were traditionally wrapped around the waist.

The Tangaliya craft has a rich history and unique origins that reflect the cultural heritage of the region. This traditional weaving technique, characterized by intricate patterns and vibrant colors, is believed to have originated in the Tangaliya village of Gujarat, India.

The History and Origin of the Tangaliya Craft
The craft is primarily practised by the Gujarati community, who have passed down their skills through generations. Each piece produced often tells a story, showcasing the craftsmanship of the weavers. The use of locally sourced materials and traditional methods further highlights the connection between the craft and its cultural roots.
Over time, the Tangaliya craft has evolved while maintaining its traditional essence, making it an important aspect of the local economy and cultural identity. Efforts to promote this craft continue, ensuring that the skills and stories of the artisans are preserved for future generations.
The origin of Tangaliya weaving is rooted in the Dangashiya community of Surendranagar, comprised of dedicated weavers and shepherds. Initially, they crafted blankets from sheep and goat wool to serve the needs of shepherds in the region. According to the National Portal of India, these fabrics are woven from fine wool and cotton. The Dangashiya community has nurtured this intricate craft through decades, passing down the knowledge and skills required to maintain its legacy.
The distinctive charm of Tangaliya lies in its signature raised dots on the fabric, created meticulously by twisting contrasting colored threads onto warp threads and carefully pushing them together. This time-honored technique demands immense precision and creativity, as the weavers create beautiful designs without any graphs or machines—innovating directly from their imaginations. While shawls have traditionally defined Tangaliya textiles, they have evolved to include a variety of contemporary products such as dupattas, dress materials, bedsheets, and pillow covers, keeping pace with evolving fashion sensibilities.
Tangaliya has also received recognition for its Geographical Indication status, a testament to its unique origin and the traditional craftsmanship that the artisans have preserved. The patterns, such as Ramraj, Charmalia, Dhunslu, Lobdi, Ladwa, and Chaklo, carry profound cultural significance, embodying Gujarat’s rich heritage. This craft is not merely about producing textiles; it nurtures and sustains the livelihoods of the skilled artisans who pour their heart and soul into this centuries-old tradition.
Despite its beauty and historical importance, the Tangaliya craft faces significant challenges, including limited awareness and competition from mass-produced alternatives, as noted by Zenodo. However, there’s hope. Ongoing efforts aim to promote and support this precious art form, ensuring that it continues to thrive for generations to come.

In a major breakthrough for cybersecurity, Google CEO Sundar Pichai announced on Tuesday (July 15) that the company’s AI agent, Big Sleep, successfully identified and thwarted a cyber exploit before it could be deployed — a first-of-its-kind achievement for artificial intelligence in threat prevention.
“New from our security teams: Our AI agent Big Sleep helped us detect and foil an imminent exploit. We believe this is a first for an AI agent – definitely not the last – giving cybersecurity defenders new tools to stop threats before they’re widespread,” Pichai posted on X (formerly Twitter).
A new era in cybersecurity?
This marks a potential inflection point in cybersecurity, as AI shifts from passive defense — identifying threats post-breach — to proactive interdiction.
What’s next for ‘Big Sleep’
Google has not disclosed when Big Sleep was deployed or how long it has been operational. However, Pichai’s post suggests this is just the beginning of more AI-driven defense tools that will be used across Google’s ecosystem and offered to cloud clients.
This incident also raises questions about how governments, enterprises, and cloud service providers will collaborate with AI to stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated threat actors.
As cyberattacks grow more frequent and damaging, the use of advanced AI like Big Sleep may become standard across global IT defenses.
